I mean we know the actual logic behind the GND:

> The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said to Inslee’s climate director, Sam Ricketts, according to a Washington Post reporter who attended the meeting for a profile published Wednesday.

> “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing,” he added.

The question is whether there is a logic to it beyond the pretext that motivated it originally. And I don’t think there is. Protecting jobs from displacement as a result of climate change mitigation efforts makes sense. That could be accomplished for a fraction of the price of offering guaranteed housing, jobs, healthcare, higher education, etc.

We are talking about spending trillions a year on social welfare to get maybe $100 billion (at most?) on climate change mitigation. Is that “pretty damn logical?”?)

That is my impression from reading many other anecdotes from police describing their daily work, as well as various videos and true cop shows. You don't necessarily even have to attribute it to race; just that a demographic of employed programmers is going to have better impulse control, protective social status, habits of deference to cops, and overall good behavior than a demographic of low-income "frequent fliers" who have had many negative interactions with the police before. Being in that second demographic is what causes the disproportionate citations. Not in the choices made by the police.

Damn, that's kind of a nice laptop. Pretty tempting actually, though I'd probably install Windows on it personally.

I was curious what specs made it "developer"-mode, and it looks like it's just a really big battery, very bright screen with good viewing angles, and easy to open with one hand (and a stable screen when you're moving around with it). Seems like it's specifically aimed at devs that work remote jobs and might be working outside from time to time?

Still, neat idea.

Not sure I agree I've made a bad assumption, because I didn't actually state where I draw the line.

I'm actually not sure, I believe the issue is too complex for someone like myself to understand without serious study into the area, and I'm not really in that line of work and cannot individually affect British policy, so I do my job which is tech.

You however do make an assumption when you state "public school pulls everyone done". Why? Do you actually believe the US private school system produces the smartest kids in the world?

> Help me understand what you mean by "worse than naive" here.

"Naive" in this context generally means they were overly trusting when there was no evidence to suggest trust was warranted. I'd interpret "worse than naive" as saying that they are actually evidence to the contrary.

The logic presented is, "We need more money, so we sold it to this private equity firm. But don't worry, they're not going to try to squeeze lots of money from it."

The starting point for any for-profit company -- no matter how ethically run -- is that they buy things because the expected value to them will be higher than the cash they paid for it. We must assume that the expected value of PIR to the equity company is higher than the amount they paid IS for it. Which means, either IS is actually getting less (or at best the same) money than they would have for keeping PIR, or it means that Ethos is going to charge significantly more than IS is. The fact that Ethos bought PIR is prima facae evidence that it's a bad deal for either IS or for the internet as a whole.

I mean, there are other possibilities, but none is really good. It's possible that someone at Ethos capital actually did want to do IS a favor, and way over-paid for PIR. But that's just a form of embezzlement; I certainly wouldn't feel any better to know that .org was bought by someone who was either incompetent or a criminal.

If you want to set up a long-term self-funding organization to do good rather than making money, you don't do private equity; you set up a foundation. Ethos, or whoever wants to make the world a better place, could provide a loan to such an organization.

And even if you do decide to buy something, you put your promises in writing in the form of a contract.

And even supposing Ethos really does mean all the things they say. Suppose something happens and they go bust and have to liquidate their assets. What happens then?

There are just so many red flags here, that "too trusting" doesn't even begin to describe it.

A refinement of (1) would be Harberger Taxes[0].

1. When a person registers a name they declare a price they are willing to sell the name for. They can update their price at any time.

2. They pay an annual tax (about 1% to 5%) for the right to keep the name.

3. If someone is willing to buy the name for the declared price they are forced to sell the name to them.

This system has the advantage that the person who values the name the most will get to keep it, and the person who lost the name will be fairly compensated.

You would also need a properly configured Apache server wouldn't you? I can see the ease of deployment argument in the context of old-school shared hosting providers, but nowadays how is starting a PHP application any harder than Rails or Django for example.

And for modern development environments, deployment complexity usually comes from managing virtualized hardware and CI/CD pipelines, which is independent of whatever language your app is written in.

> The difficult problem is not knowing where the sun is but knowing where the ground is. Since all the panels are separate structures not on a single rigid slab, ground "settling" can tilt them fractionally in unpredictable ways.

Ground vibration might also be a problem, in applications where this is being used to generate heat for some heavy industrial application. Presumably in that cast said heavy industrial application would be taking place nearby, and so could disturb the ground under the mirrors or tower.

I think anti-vaxxers and people who reject modern medicine in general predate Facebook. You know, Steve Jobs managed to get himself killed by trying to cure his cancer using homeopathic/spirit medicine and I don't think he was brainwashed by random people on his Facebook news feed. His fatal attraction to 'alternative medicine' can be traced back to his hippie roots travelling through India:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/8841347/Steve-J...

The MMR autism scare originates in the early 1990s so it predates widespread usage of the web, let alone social networks. Vaccines are an especially difficult case that are structurally guaranteed to produce something like the modern anti-vaxx movement, no help from Facebook needed. It's a classic tragedy of the commons. The logic goes like this:

1. Vaccines are complex and new, and involve injecting my kids with some kind of modified viruses. I heard from other parents that there might sometimes be side effects.

2. Medicines frequently have side effects so I can believe that. Even if it's very rare, side effects are bad. I don't want to take the risk of harming my kids. Keeping my kids safe is my number 1 priority as a parent.

3. But I could opt out. I'm allowed to, and I learned about herd immunity. If I quietly avoid vaccinating my kids I eliminate 100% of the risk because other parents are taking it for me.

4. Why would I not opt out? Even if I think the risk of taking a vaccine is only 0.1% that's still more than zero, and my child's welfare is the most important thing in my universe. If I gambled and lost I would never forgive myself. Opting out is the responsible thing to do.

In other words being anti-vaxx only looks stupid from a society-wide level. From the perspective of a parent who doesn't care about wider social trends but only their own kids, opting out appears to make sense for as long as they believe herd immunity exists, and it doesn't matter how often you tell people there's no real risks: nobody sane believes experts are always right and it's hard for someone to know what the risk "really" is, they can only go on what they themselves have heard from various sources of differing reliability.

The fix for tragic commons is usually a law and that'll be the fix here too. Facebook is really just irrelevant. Trying to suppress anti-vaxx speech will just make the problem worse because it looks like a coverup. Censorship is the last resort of people who lost an argument after all.
I did the same. If things go to hell I'll do global 301 redirects starting around 2026-2027, and work to get every link possible updated across the internet, to drain every last possible cent of value from my .org, and then I'll abandon it if the prices have gone up extortionately.

Automated front-end testing is not working
So far from the case.

Your kids' school can't use a .edu domain because this is reserved for use by higher education bodies. If your kids were university students, they'd be using .edu, I guarantee it. Every reputable institution in the US uses .edu. (Outside the US, universities all follow various national systems.)

Local government is a terrible example because these are approximately the worst organizations ever when it comes to domain choice and the like (government and all).

In any case, people are typing whatever.com, not whatever.edu.com or whatever.gov.com, if they are indeed typing whatever.com.

Have you ever heard of wikipedia.org? That's a pretty popular site on a .org domain. And no, not everybody assumes it's a .com.

If .org were squeezed, thousands upon thousands of us would have to painfully change our email addresses, our organizations' domains, etc., making things both significantly harder to find and interrupting years of continuity in most cases.
Smart phones. Meteor came when people used browsers. Once the app model became prevalent, and users expected native integration, slow butt JavaScript in an HTML5 app on your 2012 phone CPU was a non starter.
> keep making PHP more and more like Java.

I know this is meant as an insult but it's a poor one. There are programming languages features out there that are good on their own merits and PHP is incorporating those features. If they also happen to also exist in Java, or C++, or Haskell then they do. Adding those features might make a language more like X because X also has that feature but that doesn't mean it's the goal.

In many ways PHP does things better than Java by virtue of having hindsight on how those features exist in other languages. The way PHP handles nullable types is better than both Java and C#.
I know almost nothing about Elixir short of there is a language with this name and it related somehow with Erlang. It's a very niche language/VM good for high-load realtime events processing, thus only noticable project on Elixir is Discord (and on Erlang - WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and RabbitMQ, which kinda gives a hint too).

Ruby is a brilliant language (pun intended), but from where I am (web- and mobile software development for last ~20 years) it seems to be steadily declining. Headhunters having a hard time looking for Ruby devs now.
