Reducing demand changes the rate of extraction. That, in turn, means reserves stay in the ground longer than they would if they were burned.

"Needs to stay in the ground" says extraction must stop. That is not the case.
You don't spend developer time "thinking" about lifetimes as you write Rust, it becomes totally automatic, no more than you spend time "thinking" about functions in C#. The benefits you get far outweigh the negligible overhead, providing things like data race prevention across threads in addition to memory safety with incredibly low overhead. Modern GCs are faster but they're by no means free, and totally unnecessary if you just give the compiler the information it needs to do its job statically instead of continuing to strap more rockets to the GC rocket-powered horse. It's the fastest horse but it's still a horse, not a car.

I often am not selling to middle management, I ideally sell at the exec and/or product level. Middle managers are a conflict of interest when it comes to what I do.

After reading this, I'm certainly inclined to adjust my hypothesis, but not completely. It reduced accidents by 50%. That's awesome.

However, behaviour adjusts as we become complacent, and it's in our nature to become complacent with that which we are acclimated to every day. We definitely need some consideration for that factor and we definitely need a design that goes further to ensuring that people aren't tempted to run the lights. The temptation to run them "just this once" because "I'm late" or "I've already sat 3 changes in this line up and I'm pissed off with waiting" or "I'm sure I can beat the red" needs to be removed.

> Does reasonable steps imply "prevent all bad actors in all cases"?

of course not, that's an incredibly uncharitable reading of "reasonable", not even an intelligence agency would set such an impossible standard.

keep in mind this whole thread started with a comment about "what if your brother googles something bad as a prank?" I'm literally just talking about setting a password that isn't "password" and locking the computer when you walk away from it. this will protect you from attacks by the vast majority of schoolchildren. if a child can't prevent their friends from misusing their school account, they really shouldn't have one. I'm not sure why this is considered snide or controversial at all.
Offering reasonable alternatives is impossible? Why can't we begin to restructure our society to be more like, in your example; Germany, so that it is possible? Just because there are steps to providing alternatives doesn't make their eventual existence impossible, right?

Other than block syntax... how's ObjC bad? It's verbose, I'll grant you that, but I wouldn't lump it in with a language that's enforcing lifetimes and what not.
I don't understand what your point is. I think you're trying to imply something like "rustc is fundamentally misdesigned and it would be easy to make huge performance improvements", but there really is not much low-hanging fruit left in rustc. The fact is that H-M type inference, borrow checking, and optimization take time. There is no magic bullet that other languages do to compile quickly that Rust does not, other than not having Rust's features or not doing optimization. There's even an entirely separate compiler implementation now, mrustc, which as far as I know is not significantly faster than rustc.

There was a time when rustc could be called a relatively slow compiler for what it does, but not anymore. It's actually a reasonably fast compiler now. I expect small wins to continue in the future, but the only remaining foreseeable large win is Cranelift.

You're missing the point. The OS moved to 64-bit because that's where it has to go from here. While 32-bit "still works" right now, it will eventually not be enough. The work to make the move to 64-bit already happened so keeping both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries takes up additional space, additional upkeep, and separate development paths.

If Nader takes enough votes from Gore, then Gore will have the fewest first place votes and get eliminated first.

Then Nader has to go up against Bush and it all comes down to who the Gore voters put as their second choice. It may only take a small percentage of them putting Bush second for Bush to win. https://youtu.be/JtKAScORevQ

Was this election spoiled? By Nader or by Gore? You can argue the semantics of what "spoiler" means, but to me it's clear that IRV doesn't handle this situation well.

It is safe to vote for a third-party only if they can't win. When three-way elections get close, you have to be more careful.
It wouldn't be as easy as that. A carbon tax will result in higher prices of a lot of goods, including food: anything that has to be shipped has some carbon built into the price, and farming uses a lot of oil-fuelled machines. It wouldn't necessarily be a large increase, but it would make a potent talking point against it. Even if you got it passed, they would see prices rise before the "carbon prosperity check" arrived.

It's a good idea even though there are more difficulties than I mentioned. But it's not an easy sell.
There seem to be three broad generations--by adoption, weakly correlated with age--of internet-savvy people.

1: People who were very active in the BBS/Usenet days and saw the emergence of the public Internet and web.

2: People (like me) who mainly got on when the .com bubble was warming up. People in 1 and 2 saw or even had these complaints, and had plenty of skepticism about ad driven models when they emerged with the growing realization at Google and other surviving web companies that ads and data mining could save them after the crash.

3: People who only know the internet after that. Who never knew a time when the internet was such a big, new thing that people still capitalized the word.

I think most of the people who complain about companies charging for stuff are in 3 and never knew what we lost when ad-funded silos pushed everything else out. It doesn't help that a lot of them are, along with 2 and even 1, struggling to make enough money to survive with so many jobs turned into SaaS or taken over by big outsourcing firms that don't need as many people.

I'm not sure I agree, but you made interesting point and I'm glad you brought it up!

Personally, I don't think I would classify that as unethical. Ethics need to be looked at with intent in mind, and if you are comfortable being honest about what you are doing, I _think_ I would be okay with this. Not sure, though–I do have doubt.
I don't see why it should be taken for a given moral good that a third party cannot spoil an election (Ranked Choice doesn't actually prevent that, at any rate, it just lessens the effect near the midpoint). If your political values are that a multiparty system is better than a binary choice, the risk of an upstart candidate being a spoiler gives him and by extension potential voters more bargaining power.

> "stay in the ground" seems a perfectly reasonable shorthand to avoid a paragraph of caveats.

I don't agree, particularly in the context of the post I replied to. The post mentioned book value going to 0, which means the oil is permanently in the ground. The paragraph of caveats does not make proven reserves worthless, just worth significantly less.

Also, I generally dislike oversimplifications on technical topics, particularly controversial ones. It tends to turn discussion into a battle of sound bites where the nuance gets lost. I can tell that already just by the reaction to my initial post.

In California, the governor recently vetoed legislation that would have allowed most cities to use ranked-choice voting. His explanation is a bit odd:

> Ranked choice is an experiment that has been tried in several charter cities in California. Where it has been implemented, I am concerned that it has often led to voter confusion, and that the promise that ranked choice voting leads to greater democracy is not necessarily fulfilled.

https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SB-212-Vet...

Newsom's own San Francisco is one of the places that has used ranked-choice voting, and I've not once heard of voter confusion. So the explanation seems rather disingenuous.

While I agree with you in principal, in the context of the state of NY, and especially within NYC, ranked choice voting will do nothing more than hand the results of every future election to those who control the political machine.

Think of it this way, in 2018, a top 2 primary in NY-14th district could very well have resulted in both AOC and Crowley, just like it did in the case of various districts in states like California and Washington which have top two primaries, but unlike in AOC's case, the incumbent largely pulled in those who would otherwise be Republican voters.

This same exact story would've played out in the Queens DA race as well. In the democratic primary, there were 3 candidates who could be in some ways marked as left, center and right. The left and center candidates both got around 40% of the vote +- 100 votes, but the right leaning candidate got around 15% of the vote. If there was a second round of voting among this block of voters, the center candidate would've likely done much better in said second round.

The issue you describe is really only likely to happen, when you have something like 10+ competitive candidates, when you have two candidates pulling 30-45% of the votes each, this being a problem becomes way less likely.

Not exactly. Namecheap has notoriously flagged people's accounts for no reason as suspicious. Mine was flagged for simply for updating my password with one that I generated from a password-generator. They wouldn't respond, and when they did they said that my account was flagged do to suspicious activity that they felt was legitimate. It took me over a week to finally unlock my account, but that wasn't until I had to take the issue to social media with screen shots.

Good: you get special treatment/opportunities because of a unique skill set and increased visibility on the end results of what you do.

Bad: management doesn't really know what you do between software releases, you're paid the going rate for your industry while SWEs make far more, and in-house software quality standards might not be established/followed.

Countries have a different purpose than companies. It hardly makes sense to compare them.

Companies can fire people. Countries cannot. Companies are typically not democratically controlled whereas countries should be. Companies are not obligated to meet the basic needs of their employees, protect their rights even if it isn't profitable, defend against foreign adversaries.

Companies have one, very narrow, purpose and efficiency is one property which is induced by that arrangement. States, on the other hand, are human institutions constituted to much broader purpose and scope. I'd actually argue its deeply inhuman to expect efficiency to be a primary property of a state.
until you realize that you can't do multi-line lambdas because whitespace sensitive languages are awful. Note how no new language chooses to follow this nonsense.

The braces allow you to be explicit with what you want. Rust's {} are a feature. They let you see exactly which scope you're in. With Rust's memory management, you then know exactly when a variable will go out of scope and be cleaned up.
That's the nature of large groups of people though.

The reason there seems to be so much rivalry today is because only the shitty, attention grabbing and warmongering leaders and nations get all the attention.

In the meanwhile, you have most nations around the world living and making progress peacefully. Nations that can be easily convinced by some form of aid or assistance to get on the bandwagon.

Don't be fooled by the news media. Most peoples of the world just want to live and let live. However, if the leadership of the US continues to be dominated by anti-science racist right-wingers, I am sorry to say, this won't happen.

Most of my day is literally just getting one step further and one step further into a "process" of some sort, and then handling a metric boatload of edge-cases as they come up. Then the last portion of the contract is the actual integration into a business, and handling the "ninety-ninety" rule that always ends up happening when the rubber meets the road.

I take a complex, convoluted mess and turn it into a coherent "something", usually an API or web experience.

Your second paragraph is closer, though in fact most people don't think about it at that level. They typically don't know or understand that the position is relative to the current distribution. When they say "democrats are on the left" they mean it in an absolute sense, and both the duopoly parties play that ambiguity up to their collective advantage.

The kind of voting system proposed isn't likely to change that.

Meh, it's subjective but I'd argue that's a bad idea. A 404 isn't exactly a heavy request; your origin should be able to handle plenty of those. The whole point of CDNs is to serve fat assets (images, videos, js libraries sometimes) not patch holes in your site or bandaid your raspberry-pi origin. Caching error responses, including 404s, can lead to all sorts of trouble and isn't worth it IMO.
