Yes this change would destroy a lot of things, but it would require creating a lot of things as well. Replacing all those cars and gas stations with something else, like EVs and more public transportation will require a massive infrastructure effort. It might require demand reduction, like requiring employers to allow employees to work remotely when possible.

Yes these are big changes, but again what would be the alternative? To me it's like if you were diagnosed to Celiac's disease. Imagine your doctor tells you that you must stop eating grains or you will go insane and die. That may require making significant changes to your lifestyle you don't want to make, but can you really afford to just hope medical scientific consensus is wrong, and that you've been misdiagnosed, just because it's too hard or too complicated to make a change?

Not OP, but I would consider SIGTERM as IPC, but SIGKILL as not really IPC (since the target can't respond to it).

Traditional RC does a SIGTERM to everything, and then waits a bit and then does a SIGKILL to everything. This means that if the SIGTERM failed to be handled properly, progress is still made.

It kind of depends on what you're doing. Two of my friends have done the 'double decker garage' idea, which is to put the machine/wood shop on the ground floor and the office/electronics on the upper floor. My wife still believes that cars go in garages so I have yet to claim the full downstairs :-).

Things I find most useful in my space are the electronics bench, the computer "station" (3 monitors on a desk), and the "small fab" bench (3D printer, mini-mill (Sherline), various holding jigs). I've got parts and such upstairs but they could reasonably be anywhere.

My activities are primarily small circuit design/build/test,
small mechanisms (robot) design/build/test, and algorithm research. These things don't have a lot of consumables per hour of engagement so they can go for a long time on relatively low additional investment.

For larger fabrication having a garage door and a concrete floor are essential. But the kinds of things you want to work on and create is pretty intensely personal usually. A friend who likes to build airplanes built an assembly hanger that was roughly 40' x 60'. I have never found the space I have above the two car garage (and the same size square feet wise) to be an issue.

What I have done over the years is look at the projects on the queue, and the things I want to learn, and then built to support those efforts.

Well from my perspective if I don't get a job I can just fail to have the money to manage my disability and die. As soon as I read your post about how if you hired a disabled employee, you feel like you might have to walk on egg-shells, well I instantly sympathized with such a gravely serious concern.

I notice how much of your post washes the managers hands clean of making these decisions. Not getting hired is the fault of disabled people who are behaving rudely by being incapable of certain things like eye contact. It's the fault of other employees who will quit. You know... that's almost the same rationale used to keep gay people out of the military. It's the COMPANY who wasn't convinced the employee was worth working with.

Have you ever had your job threatened because you didn't want to leave early, arrive late, take extra breaks, socialize instead of working, and wanted to work hard because you believed in the companies vision? Or because you didn't want to steal time? Because you wanted to learn your job? Oh man, it really made the other employees not like me. I was pulled aside and told what a bad culture-fit I was being. I was told my co-workers were going to tell my bosses I should be let go because they didn't like me. In the end I bent to the pressure and went half-way, messed up, and got singled out for punishment. At which point the culture I didn't fit changed for the better because everybody felt so damned guilty.

In my entire time in the workforce I have never seen "culture-fit" being anything other than vague opaque bullshit used to discriminate against the disadvantaged and hard-working.

>If it were truly for values, I'd expect alcohol to be removed from shelves as well.

An individual or corporation can hold values that are against smoking but ok with alcohol.

Picking one and not the other does not invalidate the value.

>Anecdotally, and ironically, most of the people that are aware CVS made this move are inconvenienced smokers. I'd expect a huge continued marketing campaign around this endeavor in the US, but it hasn't been as strong as many other less impressive campaigns.

>Despite all the crap he said, being extradited to Sweden would have made extradition to the US less likely

He was called crazy for stating that it was a ruse to get him into the hands of the US.

This sounds great for a small 4 cylinder vehicle - until you start thinking about most cars today only have power steering so a manual steering box isn't available. Then you need a 12V battery to operate most of the lights, speedometer, radio, etc. What do you charge this with? If you do a step down transformer there's more of your range eaten up. Then there's other power stuff: seats, wonders, wipers and roofs. More range bye-bye. Sounds like you would still need some other power source to make all of the modern creature comforts in a standard ICE powered vehicle operate.
Actually Singapore and Australia aren't that terrible anymore.

Hurricane Electric has POPs in both Singapore and Australia. Transport between Singapore and Australia is $1.50 or less. Peering ports are $0.20 per Mbps.

The hackers might also have gained access to his computer, usually by a phishing email or a malicious weblink. Use a separate email account for registering for a bank account and use a separate phone of 2FA. And never ever give out information to someone calling up pretending to be the bank and asking for your account details and security questions.

It's something else entirely. It's a mixed cloud approach combining the storage offerings of Azure, Google Cloud, and S3 providers. The idea is not to trust one cloud provider to provide fair pricing and proper redundancy. Right now I'm mirroring RAID 0,1, and 3. Applying RAID 3 to the cloud is going to give you higher latency and more processor and memory usage because the file has to be reassembled on the client machine. However, if you apply RAID 1 to the cloud your latency is similar because each cloud provider has the full file. In the case of RAID 1 the library will upload a full copy to each cloud provider and will download files by trying providers until one succeeds. If you only use two providers your pricing is usually the same because geo-redundancy in storage providers is often twice the cost and you're getting geo-redundancy built in by having multiple providers in different regions. RAID 3 is actually cheaper because you have geo-redundancy, but you're only storing 1.5 times as much data.

When I was young, it wasn't that I was necessarily smart, but I did enjoy reading. My typical fare from when I was very young included books on biology, archeology, anthropology, etc. Everyone took this to mean that I was smart, and I ended up in the classic 'smart trap'. I forgot what it was that made me knowledgable (practice), and instead believed it was innate.

Regardless of this, now that I am an adult, I find that I would love to spend my time learning. It's a primary value. I have children, and have to focus on their upbringing as well, which is a massive drain on the time that I can bring to bear on learning new things - and I mean taking classes to advance my understanding of mathematics, not learning a new programming language.

When I think about being wealthy, I actually think about spending my time going to classes, doing research, and advancing human knowledge. I know others who would use their time for leisure, and probably a dozen other possibilities.

In the end, I simply don't value money beyond giving me the basic necessities of life. I find my time outside of work is best used focusing on studies like what I described (I mean, they are all free now, for the most part). I find that people who are focused on wealth, unless it is inherited, put most of their time in gaining new wealth. I just don't see anything revolutionary in gaining more power, which is what wealth is to me. True revolution comes from technological development, which is typically done by the public sector. Sadly, work there is poorly rewarded by the private sector (companies making billions on the internet don't donate money back to DARPA for more research, or for that matter GPS, chip technologies, etc.).

I just think it's a difference in values. Getting to where I wish I could be at this point of my life would come at too much cost to my family, so now I find myself working for profit for the rest of my life. Not so bad, of course... I have some time for the leisure that allows me to expand my knowledge, and maybe catch up enough to understand the incredible things that are happening in the space of scientific advancement.

I have a bullet proof plan to earn a $10m bonus in my two years as CTO at <Large Firm>:

1. Identify retarded firm that uses AWS or Azure like money grows on trees AND without too much AWS lock-in

2. Join as CTO and move infra to OVH

(2.1 Convince OVH to not irritate international customers by making my browser show "Translate this page?" for EVERY SINGLE page, even on us.ovhcloud.com, because they HAVE to show their French lineage at all times instead of just having English pages in English! They've already improved their Customer Service a lot, so I have great hopes)

3. Reduce server costs by 4X

4. Profit!

Seriously. Unless you really need auto-scaling or one of the other unique features of AWS / Azure products, you don't need to pretend you're the next Facebook or Netflix.

Also seriously: de-cloudification is a great business idea.

My impression of wealthy Californians is that they'd rather not have a noisy stinky polluting generator running for days requiring fuel deliveries, and if there's a "green" option that requires zero fuel, makes no noise or pollution, and is within their means, they'll prefer it.

Not to mention generators are a bit of a maintenance and operational nuisance in my experience, at least the diesel piston motor kind I've used in the past as power backup in datacenters. Most households would rather not have yet another piston engine to keep in good working order.

I have a lot of junk sites I log into that have a REALLY shitty password - it's not tied to my credit cards or any personal info, but it was just to get something working/going. It's not the same as leaving your keys in the personal car and more equivalent to the leaving the keys in the golf cart I rented at the golf resort. Sure there's still some negative consequences of that, but if the golf staff just tell everyone to leave their keys out in the open when they're done renting, then that's what people do.

All of the "2000 era china cams" (foscam or whatever) I bought had a username password that only mattered if you were on a local network. I can imagine Nest users would probably assume that's what they were doing.

"The final analyses from various subsequent inquiries concluded that in this context 'trick' was normal scientific or mathematical jargon for a neat way of handling data, in this case a statistical method used to bring two or more different kinds of data sets together in a legitimate fashion."

Maybe basing your opinion on climate science on "some email leak [you] can't recall the name [of]" isn't ideal?

The companies that ran Fukushima failed to implement tsunami-proofing measures that were standard internationally, and studies had shown were necessary at the site [1]. So back to my point about complex failures: an engineering project's success is a function of both the physical assets and the organisations set to run them. Chernobyl is a prime example of where this intersection resulted in catastrophy.

I do understand your point, by the way. I completely agree that we can't account for every possible scenario using history alone. But there's a balance between over-engineering for fantastical events that are difficult to predict and keeping things affordable. Equally, at some point you have to weigh up the very present and deadly effects of coal power plants against the low probability, high impact of a nuclear power plant going boom.

I'm by no means familiar with labor law, but are companies (in Switzerland or the US) required to actively support unionization? It seems like it would be one thing to actively oppose unionization, and another thing to require the organizers to provide their own meeting rooms, space, etc. Looking at the article, it seems like this is the latter.
