> So even in traditional media there's a little precedent for this.

There may not be a precedent in traditional media but boy there is an Internet entity that well known to us already: Wikipedia.

Many forget that Wikipedia (where anyone can contribute) was part inspiration for SE as was Experts-Exchange, and Wikipedia is indeed organized as a non-profit via WikiMedia.

This meta post might be the one that forces investors to re-organize SE as the social good that it is rather than as an asset that needs to be exploited.
I used equity from my primary residence to finance my first investment, since I couldn’t find other means of financing. I don’t think my area would be good for AirBnb although I haven’t tried, should probably read more about it. I am doing everything myself for now, since I get better ROI, but will probably move to prpty mngmt once I have more properties.

> Microsoft Spain sources have confirmed to Teknautas that they have not received any request from the security forces and bodies of the State to close Tsunami repositories

Note, this is a translation. If I understand it right, GitHub is a wholly owned subsidiary. That means it may have been (likely?) GitHub legal rather than Microsoft legal that received the request.

Did the reporter not know to check with GitHub or was it something else?

There is a little bit of organizational dynamics at play here. We may know how these companies are organized but do the masses? How much of the international reporters should we expect to know this?

About your comments, I can point to some excerpts in the Inquisition wikipedia article:

> The Inquisition was established as a genocidal institution against the Jewish and Muslim populace of Iberia,

"The Inquisition was originally intended primarily to identify heretics among those who converted from Judaism and Islam to Catholicism"

There was no genocidal intention, its a nuance but important. It wasn't established to "find every Muslim and put it on a stake".

> For every Giordano Bruno burned at the stake, a thousand monks prudently refrained from exploring controversial issues, and a hundred thousand loyal Catholics remained fettered in an intellectual darkness so profound they could not even see their chains.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition#Censorship

"The censorship of books was actually very ineffective, and prohibited books circulated in Spain without significant problems. The Spanish Inquisition never persecuted scientists, and relatively few scientific books were placed on the Index. On the other hand, Spain was a state with more political freedom than in other absolute monarchies in the 16th to 18th centuries."

"Despite the repeated publication of the Indexes and a large bureaucracy of censors, the activities of the Inquisition did not impede the development of Spanish literature's "Siglo de Oro", although almost all of its major authors crossed paths with the Holy Office at one point or another."

> The cost of the Inquisition is not to be measured only in the smoking corpses of Jewish and Muslim people, or even those falsely accused of practicing Judaism, but in the lost memory of entire civilizations, and in the books that were never written.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition#Death_toll...

"evertheless, some authors consider that the toll may have been higher, keeping in mind the data provided by Dedieu and García Cárcel for the tribunals of Toledo and Valencia, respectively, and estimate between 3,000 and 5,000 were executed" [...] "In either case, this is significantly lower than the number of people executed exclusively for witchcraft in other parts of Europe during about the same time span as the Spanish Inquisition (estimated at c. 40,000–60,000)."
It's certainly softer science than 1900s physics. There are a few big science-related questions that require practical approaches to that aren't 100% black and white. So consensus has to allow for a few more outlier positions than usual.

Interestingly, climate change and Chernobyl health effects have a lot of parallels. They've both been broadly studied by various teams of scientists. Society has turned to using large internationally-respected UN and WHO-organized group of experts to deal with the these kinds of questions. For Chernobyl, this group is called UNSCEAR [1]. For climate change it's called the IPCC [2].

[1] https://www.unscear.org/unscear/en/chernobyl.html
[2] https://www.ipcc.ch/

In both Chernobyl and Climate change, there are people who passionately disagree with the international UN teams of scientists. In climate change, we call them climate-change deniers. In Chernobyl, we call them Greenpeace. In the name of the scientific method, it's worth listening to what these people have to say and testing some hypotheses. If the hypotheses turn out to be hard to support, we begin to move on with a mainstream consensus.

The odd thing is that these groups of people (climate change deniers and Greenpeace) have very little else in common.

This may be very selfish of me but I'd prefer if Github didn't get shut down over some political argument that I'm not a party in.

It would also involve Github taking sides in a very divise political issue that is far from black and white.
Are you really going to link to wikipedia's unintended consequences page? How about the unintended consequences of historical emissions - we have already put enough in the atmosphere to devastate Shanghai, Miami, Manhattan, and all of the coastal nations of the world. Are we going to throw up our hands and take a potentially life-saving, civilization-saving tool off the table? Species -- those are already dying off hugely, if anything the sunshade will slow this decimation by slowing warming.

Also, how do you imagine that Elon Musk is somehow going to elongate our usage of fossil fuels? Elon Musk has done more for EVs than any single person in human history, and you claim he's going to do something which will extend fossil fuel use?

Your post just doesn't add up, it sounds like you want further warming to occur?
Not if your app is structured in the way where you can use the create flow in the context of an ephemeral session, and then get asked to log in when you go to save.

But yeah, in general, apps don’t do that much, and I wouldn’t see many being pushed to do so just to add such a shortcut.

Maybe the case here is where the login will be automatic (e.g. OpenID Connect based)? So, in the case where you’d be using some random workstation, but you happen to be authed to it anyway, by e.g. creating a temporary browser profile and logging into the sync on that. But in that case, the browser sync would still give you access to your bookmarks....

Okay, maybe it was never about browser address bars at all. It seems like a lot of these blurbs on the registrar page are talking about how these things are equivalent to certain API calls you can make to these sites. So maybe the point here is to create memorable API endpoints, such that you can now do something like (not saying this works, but it might):

sort -n mydoc.csv | http sheets.new

...where the API endpoint accepts your IO-stream as a POST or PUT request, and returns a URL of the generated document.

This would make more sense, because you don’t really have access to your browser’s bookmarks from a terminal; and you might want random agents that you write, which aren’t “logged in” in any particular sense (like a CI bot) to use these shortcuts as well.
> If you want to blame the state for PG&E management decisions, you are essentially saying that PG&E’s shareholder ownership and its own management are irrelevant, in which case they are at best a superfluous expense that should be avoided by making PG&E’s functions the domain of a publicly-operated utility.

Well the second part hardly follows from the first part. PG&E provides private capital for investments the State may not be willing or able to provide. PG&E provides the expertise in building and maintaining a power grid, and manages the day to day operations. For that they get a reasonable margin of profit.

But the State sets prices, and decides what is a “prudent investment” that can be recovered from rate payers. As a result, it is the State that is responsible for the trade off between keeping retail rates low and investing in infrastructure upgrades such as enhanced fire safety. The State is also responsible for setting big picture policy goals, and has done so for example by imposing requirements with respect to purchasing renewable energy. (Which I think are a good thing by the way.) When the State is the one making those decisions, then yes, it should be held accountable.

As to publicly operated utilities—they have the same problem, because their rates are regulated by agencies like the CPUC. Underinvestment in utility infrastructure is a chronic investment around the country, and there seems to be no difference between public and investor owned utilities in that regard. The problem is utility boards.

Probable cause is a moderately high standard in law. One’s name alone should not make for probable cause.
I don't agree very much with your take.

- User interfaces are very prone to have big files, because there tend to be a lot of different components. I don't get how XML will add more bloat, other than having the <> tags for defining elements.

- XAML lets you define custom controls. I'm not familiar with Android XML, but in any case it's not an issue of the language but of the framework.

- Again, a fault of the framework. Visual Studio, for example, checks your XAML for errors, both when writing and when compiling.

- I don't think namespaces are confusing (most programming languages have some concept of namespaces), but I agree that one could have more facilities to avoid specifying namespaces everywhere.

- Yes, but most of the time you shouldn't access the user interface from the application code, as coupling them tends to create ugly code that is prone to mistakes and failures. For me, this is an actual advantage of XML for UI, it makes it more difficult to create an interface out of spaghetti code.

- Well, one is declarative and the other one imperative. As long as you want to have both types, it doesn't matter what language you use.

For me, there's not that much of a difference between SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose and equivalent XML code. UI definitions are going to be messy no matter what.

The current Spanish constitution was voted with more than 90% of support in Catalonia. Should that not count as self-determination?
I agree that the idea sounds like the worst thing we could do. Let’s not forget, that EVERY LAST BIT of energy we’ve ever used or will use, has come from the sun. So hey, let’s cutoff our supply from it! That’ll help things out and secure energy availability for future generations!

At the end of the day, we’re a part of nature too, just doing our part to increase entropy via energy dispersion. Can’t stop the second law. Just gotta find ways to do it that kill us off slower.
You provide no evidence that PG&E deferred maintenance and I can't find anything online except people repeating your unsubstantiated claims. I'm merely pointing out that the state drastically reduced forestry operations, there was a large public outcry against forestry operations, so it isn't a huge leap to conclude PG&E was under pressure to minimize its own tree trimming/removal operations.

And state agency mismanagement of forests absolutely has literally everything to do with a random power line sparking and causing a small local burn vs burning down a city.

> have you thought about how we get off fossil for steel, concrete, plastics, hell even natural gas power plants?

Lots of people are thinking about these questions! Still early research phase, but the chemistry works out.

Steel -https://www.technologyreview.com/s/611961/this-mit-spinout-c...

Concrete - http://news.mit.edu/2019/carbon-dioxide-emissions-free-cemen...

Plastics - no carbon emitted as long as you don't burn your plastics. Could also capture emissions from a plastic incinerator if you really want to burn trash

Natural gas power plants - replace with solar/wind + batteries?
It would kill 99.9% of the subs there and utterly change the culture.

Statistically, you wouldn't need many people to validate it to have high confidence there was no funny business.
If your space economy is driven my methane (e.g. the Starship fuel) you could ship methane to the moon, separate the carbon from the hydrogen, recycle the hydrogen and mix the carbon in with the iron. Mild steel might have 0.1% carbon so you get a multiplication ratio in the 100's.

The main trouble is you also want to build up a carbon stock for biological applications... But it is the nitrogen stock that I haven't figured out.
according to this [1] the US consumes ~8E6 million cubic feet of methane a year

which is ~ 2.3E11 cubic meters

which is ~ 1.5E11 kg of methane

1% of that would be 1.5E9 kg

total fuel load of starship+super heavy nominally 4.5E6 kg

just the methane is about 30% of that, so 1.4E6 kg

so 1% of the total methane consumption of just the US is about a thousand flights a year. As other people have said, minimal.

Yes gravity, and to a lesser extent rotation, have a (somewhat unintuitive) impact on how the sea level will change across different parts of the globe. There's a good overview of this topic here: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2018/...

With Intuit being a company in an area that is overwhelmingly liberal, I would hazard that the majority of the people working there are as well(It is possible that the key positions are occupied by conservatives but over a period of years and consistently makes it less likely.).

It's not clear to me what the difference is between the moderation happening on StackOverflow and the moderation happening on Wikipedia, other than that Wikipedia is non-profit. But having non-profit designation be the key factor in deciding whether or not someone can volunteer seems like a rule that would have some really negative side-effects.

- Skill and Independent Initiative

I am not at all sure it would deter misleading ads, since the truth or falsehood of a given claim or set of claims does not necessarily matter much to a chunk of the population.

Our representative democracy is setup as a two party system (first past the post elections) if we want a more representative outcome we should switch to a direct democracy or implement the alternative vote.

Free exchange of ideas is my ultimate goal but the average voter doesn't share this goal, they get their information from "authoritative" sources such as "their" party or the mass media.

We did have a vote to bring in the alternate vote but every major party (left and right) and media outlet (left and right) slammed it as anti-democratic.

We can't depend on the average voter to get informed and vote representatively because the system intentionally prevents this.

Colour me dubious. If the phone is in airplane mode then the carrier doesn't know where it is. Are you suggesting they broadcast this information on all their cell towers?

When you build something, taking raw materials from their current state and assembling them into something like a car or rocket ship, is that the opposite of entropy?

Elon said at the IAC two years ago that they plan on doing this on Earth as well - which may seem needlessly complicated, but actually it's a way to test and verify the same components they will need to create fuel on Mars.
It’s a neat idea and having the idea in itself is not bad. It’s how I expect that idea to be used based on who has decision making power and how they have been using that power.

I’m not saying stop drilling fossil fuels, because we need it for almost every part of our society. I’m saying we should be pushing harder down the path of not using fossil fuels as an energy source. If suddenly it becomes way more economical to burn fossil fuels then we’ll stop pursuing any alternatives. That’s just how it works. I wish it wasn’t.
I'm curious to know what kind of solo websites make money from Adsense. Of course giant publications like NYTimes and Buzzfeed do, but they are publications, so are constantly putting out new articles and have tons of staff to do that work.

To be honest, every non-media site I've seen Adsense ads on have been fairly low-quality aggregator blogs that cover a wide variety of unrelated topics, have no clear identity/differentiator and appear to exist solely to generate AdSense revenue. These are the types of site you come across once, and never go back to again.

I'm in the nonprofit space and have been thinking about building a site focused on fundraising strategy. Adsense is likely not the right match for this, but I'm curious to know how people have monetized it with single-subject websites.
Indeed, the establishment of the Democratic party was very in on the deregulation fever at the time, as were many rank and file voters. It was a trope of the time. This was a case of bipartisan unity on what was in retrospect terrible legislation.
I love a rough lines/size guide and will be stealing that idea :-)

The biggest risk with those take-home projects is that you'll lose out on the "2-3 hour project" because someone else spent 5-6 hours and had time not to just finish it, but to make it look very polished—unreasonably polished for 2-3 hours. So you either do it as directed and worry, or spend way more time on it (enough that I'd probably just pass unless it was one hell of a job)

Keep it small enough and you don't run into the thing where you're excluding the semi-happily employed, competent devs, because they don't really have to put up with your shit to find new employment, which is the case with those defined time (but not really) larger projects.
