It's not all landfills, it's a small collection of landfills. And if they aren't fixed, even if everybody went zero waste today, those landfills would still be emitting large amounts of methane.

Proper landfill design & operation ensures the landfill is aerated, which keeps decomposition primarily aerobic which produces little methane. A poorly designed or operated landfill with little aeration will switch to aerobic metabolism, which is what produces large quantities of methane.

Is there a way to have access to all cards for free? Kind of ruins the fun when you need to sink so much $$$ just to try out different decks.

Haxe has a nice mechanism to handle this called "abstract types". https://haxe.org/manual/types-abstract.html

The critical validation step happens when the abstract type is created, not when it is used or passed to other functions...similar to the example in TFA.

The added benefit is that you get a type that behaves pretty closely to a class, but adds no typing or runtime memory overhead. E.g. here's an example for an "unsafe" string : https://gist.github.com/jdonaldson/9a09287e540e7392857f

Another benefit is that you abstract types can define relationships between multiple types in this way, making it possible to perform validation for functions that need to handle "Either<T>"-style types.
It's just the extension of an already quite questionable liability situation that results from the Störerhaftung.

A law that was originally meant for phone landlines, that holds the owner of the landline responsible for anything that happens over that landline unless they can actually identify the person who used their landline to commit the crime.

When the Internet became mainstream in Germany, the copyright lobby pushed for that law to be applied to even that. This means: When somebody torrents copyrighted content over your Internet connection, you are liable because it's your connection.

It also means if somebody says something illegal on a platform you host, like in your comments section, you will be held legally liable for those statements unless you can help identify the person who actually left them.

And because Germany has a whole slew of "speech crimes", German companies rarely allow for unmoderated comments on their online platforms.

Some even only allow commenting during certain day times, because that's when moderation crews work, and commenting outside of those times is just disabled.

It's particularly funny when it happens on state-sponsored outlets, which are very selective about what kind of topics they allow commenting.

Often controversial news will be posted at 2 a.m., and then by 7 a.m., the comments will be closed.

Sometimes they apparently close down all discussions when it's time for their lunch break [0]. A common phrase for closing down particularly active comment sections ends up being the rather utilitarian "All relevant things have already been said, we are now closing down the comments".

Germans actually have to pay quite a bit of money to finance such "independent and free" platforms.

Sensitivity Analysis: allow your lookback period to become a variable itself, and then analyze/optimize predictions for that lookback period variable itself.

We use SA's all the time in my work. One example, we only had 2018 data in our SA, even though our full analysis included 2019 data...this let us see if trends changed year to year. Another example: we made 5 lookback variables, 90 day, 180 day, 365 day, etc...then we analyzed which of these was most relevant to our analysis.

Benjamin Libet's argument against free will is being questioned
I fully agree. I think the problem is that people want to talk about communicating effectively, and they just naturally mentally glom onto the CoC style of thinking, even if they don't put it there. The CoC style of correct/incorrect, do/don't, (and I'd argue a subconscious framing of good/evil), just aren't a good fit for something as complex and difficult as writing well and understanding the psychology of other people.

I think the right way to think about this is to separate communication into acceptable and unacceptable. The unacceptables fit perfectly into the CoC, these are the unimpeachably bad things you absolutely shouldn't do.

But the acceptables are a huge range that needs space to breathe. Putting advice meant to take someone's writing from good to great in the same place as where you tell people not to sexually harass each other is setting ourselves up for failure. The CoC style has inherited an implicitly punitive framework. Just like real legal codes they have no concept of a spectrum of excellence on the compliance side. You're never going to get pulled over by a cop and thanked for driving with exceptional courtesy. The law is binary, you're either speeding or you aren't, you're either complying with it or you aren't, the only spectrum exists on the no compliance side.

Really, the acceptables should be refactored out of the CoC, both in not explicitly being written into it, and not implicitly inheriting the same style. The unwritten assumption in the legal system is that human behavior is governed by outside pressures like punishment and reward, and because there is no outside pressure to motivate varying levels of good behavior, and behavior is only motivated by externals, good behavior is defined only as everything that's not worthy of punishment. But I think a lot of people genuinely intrinsically care about the quality of their communication, just like the quality of any other part of their work. There are people who want to teach, and people who want to learn, and it would be to the benefit of everyone if they had their own place to do it.
You've taken a quote from a study that talked about the lower bound of the range of estimates (earliest possible ice free date) and specifically mentioned the high range of uncertainty (even in the news story pull quote), and you've decided that was a firm prediction which has been invalidated. This is your bad science at best, your deceitfulness at worst.

"We predict X will happen sometime between 10 and 50 years from now, sorry about the high range of uncertainty"

"Welp, it has been ten years and one day and X didn't happen, THOSE SCIENTISTS WERE ALL LIARS, DON'T BELIEVE THE SCIENCE"

Just dishonest.
> No, it's because the hardware manufacturers won't upstream their drivers. All they have to do is send the code licensed under GPLv2 and it will be updated and maintained.

You probably know this, but that's most definitely not true. After they get their code correctly licensed, they still have to get the code up to the standards of the mainline kernel, get it through reviews, plus at least act like they intend to maintain it. Probably actually do that too, if you want any future changes to go in.

>What degree of confidence are you looking for, and is the IPCC not good enough for you?

>And you presume that I am arguing on behalf of authority

I mean.... yes?

I'm sorry you find the question frustrating to answer. But your post revolves around trusting the IPCC because they are an authority.

I think that's a weak argument because if a guy doesn't know what the letters IPCC mean, you're not going to win them over. I think it's more effective to be open to the idea that maybe we're all wrong, and work from that instead of the opposite. You know, healthy skepticism, science. If you approach it like that, you can still work towards all the same goals without being divisive.

The way we're all just supposed to never question the authorities or sacred texts is how this has become a wedge issue.

OK, fair enough, but the complete redesign is only necessary because the simple patch didn't work, so the grad-student-in-a-couple-of-days comment is vacuous.
That ship has sailed IMO, in that even in single location orgs you will have foreign employees with potential legal obligation toward different governments, and domestic employees with strong ties to other countries.

From that point of view Gitlab’s diacussion on hiring or not employees from specific countries seems a bit old (except if it’s for paperwork reasons)

For clarity and for the context of this thread => From GitLab: We did decide to moderate this post for review, as there have already been credible personal and physical threats against GitLab employees in this issue thread. GitLab cannot tolerate posts that threaten our employees (or anyone) personally, or posts that we believe may further inflame threats that have already been made. While this particular post did not contain a personal threat to anyone, we were concerned it would further inflame this situation. We understand that those who follow the issue already received the comment.
Sure, but the question is: why hasn't housing supply kept up? I'd say it's because there are strong political incentives to avoid doing anything that might cause prices to go down. So we end up with very restrictive zoning and a ton of inertia. This is very obvious in all the Silicon Valley suburbs, where everybody loves job growth but housing growth barely happens.

As to the latter point, I'd be interested to see your data. The Case-Shiller metro indexes are all up over the last 5 years. [1] The metro area with the least inflation is New York, which doesn't match.

Not allowed to call it that since when? It seems to me that we’re allowed to call everything racism these days. E.g. Warren talking about “environmental racism, economic racism, criminal-justice racism, health-care racism.”

I don’t disagree with your point in a certain sense, but your framing is fluffy and unsatisfying. America is one of the least racist countries in the world. For example, 82% of French support banning Islamic head coverings, versus just 28% of Americans: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2010/07/14/french-supp.... I’m a Bangladeshi married to an Oregonian. (Not like Portland, like rural Oregon coast.) I’ve lived in red states, visited rural parts of the country, and currently live in a precinct that voted for Trump. The degree to which Americans are willing to accept you into their communities, given minimal attempts to conform, never ceases to amaze me. (And when I hear about how “profoundly racist” America is, I can’t help but think sheepishly: “man, what would they say about Bangladesh?”)

So how much explanatory power does leveling charges of racism really have? Clearly racism exists and is a bad thing and produces many problems. But racism is also a structural problem endemic to humans, not anything unique to Americans. How much can you really rely on racism alone to explain the level of division within American society?

> The complaint is pretty straightforward: film and other forms of art and entertainment are made by creators to be experienced in a certain way; technology that allows end users to modify that experience ruins the purity of that vision.

It seems like the creators want to have it both ways: the control of being a private artist combined with the money of being a commercial artist. If you want to completely control the art experience, invite people to your home for an in person performance or showing. Otherwise accept, that people have the ability and right to change your art in ways that works for them.

I only recently learned the history of "anti-littering" marketing campaigns [0], conceived to push responsibility for waste onto consumers rather than producers, who were switching from metals and glass to much cheaper (but no longer reusable) plastics.

Whatever individuals can do to reduce inefficiency and carbon footprint is surely a good thing; but it's no replacement for systems thinking, and applying incentives on the production side (IMO, best accomplished by setting a price on externalities, through Pigovian taxes and dividends [1]).

There will be people who cannot afford entertainment and will pirate no matter what. That a red hearing and it doesn't matter.

I don't care about bundles/deal/special arrangement all I care about is convenience. Netflix used to be more convenient to watch quality series and I was using it exclusively.

I paid fair price for convenience. Starting show where you left of skipping intros etc, all of those things made me pick netfilx over torrents.

But now the scales are tipping other way as EVERYONE wants a piece of pie, making exclusive deals with a single platform (plus amount of crappy show on netfilx making it time consuming to find new stuff to watch there, and their terrible recommendation algorithm, if you can call it an algorithm).

I still use netflix, but I can see myself dropping it in the future and stick to one place that have all.

Is that true that CS students don't take an ethics course? I have a 10 year old SE degree and I took 3, only 1 of which was engineering specific. (I took a philosophy ethics course, which really isn't that relevant to issues like these anyway, but also a course that was specific to ethical issues in computing.)

OTOH, I'm skeptical those courses change behavior, and in this particular case others in comments are saying this is a common architecture in the space, so how could anyone solve this ethical conundrum if getting to the base level of whether this is an ethical conundrum to begin with is difficult?
In other words, switching to Kubernetes _did_ make their latency higher — otherwise they wouldn't have needed to reconfigure anything, would they?

What does it matter? And what could you possibly hope to learn by asking such a question? What if 10 people answer, or 100, or 1000? The beauty of HN has always been that it’s a community of smart people talking about interesting topics. Granted, it’s mostly tech, startups, funding, software, hardware, etc., but no topic has ever really been of limits (although I’m sure certain types of behavior are frowned upon).
They can also be directly affected by regulations. Unless you know a way of robustly managing severe negative externalities without regulation?

Really curious to why this webapp required so many employees to run.

Not really possible. Ultimately it is human demand that is driving climate change. Even if you have a magical technology that cuts all emissions today by 25% -- which would be truly magic -- you only need a 25% growth* in population to offset that and put us back to square one.

At the current rate of 1.2% that's only ~18 years.
No, it does not. 5000 polygons condensed into a fraction of a pixels becomes a matter of statistical distributions. Effects like displacement and bump mapping have different looks if you filter them to get one value per pixel. The illumination changes because you get one averaged normal instead of distribution of normals that would occur naturally.

To have this much detail is a brute force and overkill way to get the distribution of samples that you really want on a sub pixel level, but sometimes these things are done in film because with a lot of pain you can make it work.

In this case if they did actually do that, it is through instancing, which in a sense could be thought of as a lookup with polygons to ultimately get that distribution. Usually a huge amount of samples are needed to deal with aliasing as well.
This requires you to be logged in all the time though. Some people like to avoid that.

It's hyperbole. A lot like systems that require hard type declarations for each and every function. The advantage of type systems is performance. Any correctness guarantees that come along with it are nice sugar but hardly the point and often misleading.
