Is there an investment fund that is designed to specifically invest in companies that have solid plans in place for mitigating or taking advantage of climate change, or taking short positions against industries or regions that are at risk and totally unprepared?

Examples would be shorting Florida coastal real estate, shorting flood insurance, long on agricultural and real estate investments that depend on moving growing zones and seasons, etc..

The most undeniable evidence for climate change would be if people are making a ton of money from accurately anticipating its results. I’d invest heavily in such a fund, if it existed.

One cool thing about this is that if you don’t believe in climate change you would want this too - you should bet against the fund and take the money of people like myself if you are right. Since I believe climate change is real, I would happily put my money on the other side of that bet.
Overpopulation excluded the factor of "technology innovation". Climate scaremongers are doing the same.
A hero to me is somebody who does heroic things.

Their job is harder than any of the other jobs you mentioned. Some people maybe do it for the money and others probably out of compassion. But in the end it doesn’t matter. It’s a very tough and thankless job.

That's an AI-hard problem and remains unsolved.
It's just plain bullying. I'd suggest to ignore these trolls. Whole climate thing has turned into a useless political drama and scare-marketing. Impossible to have a decent conversation without being labeled as a "denier" or "ignorant" by crazy lunatics.
There is serious debate on the science side about the extent to which we can do anything about it. From what I've read, some think yes, others think yes but only by reducing population and living like it's 1563, and others think it's already too late. These arguments mostly rest on opinions about technologies like carbon capture.
Riders don't have to pay for them, but the scooter operators sure do.
"i guess some people find it a good bargain to trade their autonomy for a wage"

A better guess would be that virtually all people need to generate income and most of them take whatever bargain they can get, lest they get consumed by debt or evicted from their home.
You can use Futhark; it compiles to PyOpenCL and then can be called by python fairly fluently.

Accelerate is a nice example of an array library with a JIT backend.
Right but OC's comment still stands: state the uncertainty rather than project certainty.

"Glaciers are projected to disappear between 2020 and 2030 based on current emission trends" would still be alarming.
I was poking at the fact that a lot of people want to give $8/hr workers $15/hr minimum wage.

What does that mean for all of the $12/hr workers now? What about the $16-$17/hr workers? Do they get raises too?

Do we just flat out raise all wages 50% overnight?

Society values X jobs at $8/hr. Bleeding hearts value them at $15/hr. Where's the middle ground?
From the title I guessed this would be about the occasional extra-tight or extra-loose port. I think that's a bigger problem than exposing the port.
That's true. Here in the United States scientists were sued for telling the truth, which caused immense headache.

We may discover some unrecognized phenomenon that regulates global temperatures (akin to the under-appreciated sociological phenomenon that increased wealth and access to birth control encouraged smaller families). But it's risky to assume that's going to come to pass when the failure mode is significant death of much of the human population if no such phenomenon emerges (and we have multiple examples in our solar system of planets that once could sustain life but are now not fit for human habitation due to global-scale climatological shifts, so the evidence we have suggests no such process exists).
This is usually due to dust/gunk in the port or cable. My Pixel slowly lost its grip until I scraped the crud out. I used the plastic toothpick from my penknife, it's an ideal size (and non conductive).

Yeah and as crappy as it is it being illegal depends entirely on if the employer paid them for the time spent setting up their work station to be 'Available' by 10AM sharp. It only becomes illegal if they're only paying them starting at 10AM when they become available.
Jeez. Like most experiences I suppose, it's hit and miss. They've promptly resolved every problem I've had and I've bought plenty of domains through them.

This is probably the best article on the subject I've seen: https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2020/1/3/21045263...

The short version is that the 1.5° C target favored by climate activists is completely unrealistic, and it's harmful. We've passed the point where limiting climate change to 1.5° C is realistically feasible: it's still theoretically possible, but it would require the entire industrialized work to engage in the same level of total societal mobilization as WW2 for a whole decade. That's not even remotely feasible.

And when these activists say "it's 1.5° C or nothing", people are going to choose nothing. Voters will elect climate change deniers and/or decide that since they can't hit 1.5° C they might as well not lift a finger to stop climate change. However, it's not too late to limit climate change to 2° C, and while 2° C will have no shortage of harmful repercussions, it won't be the end of the world, and limiting climate change to 2° C is going to be way better for the planet than letting it run away to 3° C or 4° C or more. But the "1.5° C or nothing" rhetoric actively gets in the way of attempts to stop climate change at 2° C.

The perfect is indeed the enemy of the good.
It's not nearly as clear-cut as one might hope. Cliff Mass, a respected University of Washington Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, is a noted 'skeptic' of the urgency of climate change, at least the anthropogenic causes thereof. I've heard of others, but he's the one that comes closest to mind.
SignZen | Idea Stage | Philippines | Part-time (4 hours a week) - Remote | AI Engineer (Computer Vision)

We are currently working on a fun adtech idea, which is built on the premise of generating passive revenue for existing businesses. We are hoping that our solution will result in uplifting the community as a whole. More revenue for businesses means more opportunities for other people or better products/services for the customers.

You will be part of the founding team and will mainly build out the platform. We are currently working on realtime anonymous people re-identification and gaze tracking to help us show effectiveness of the advertiser's contents.

Your Qualifications:
- Fluency in English
- Proficient with Linux
- Proficient in Python
- Strong knowledge of CV algorithms, ML/DL algorithms
- Extensive experience in OpenCV, TensorFlow, H5py
- Extensive experience with facial detection and recognition algorithms
- Strong desire to rip everything apart and understand how systems work
- Hyper focused and motivated to learn advanced software development principles and best practices

Will be an advantage:
- IoT experience
- Active in Kaggle competitions

What we offer:
Since we are currently bootstraping, still in idea stage, have no revenue yet and come from a 3rd world country, we can only afford $200 a month for the compensation. We know is peanut amount for you guys/gals, but we only earn around $1000 a month so that is still a huge investment on our end.

You only have to commit for 4 hours a week, that is one hour a day. We are results oriented, so if you can finish a 4 hour estimated goal in 5 minutes that would mean you are done for the week. We are doing this with the motivation of making the world suck less, build an awesome second family and make our lives more meaningful by being of service to the community.

This is disingenuous. It doesn't classify by Socialist, but by country. Russia is #3 on global suicides, and when I think of socialist healthcare, my first thought isn't Russia.

Many of the countries I think of as socialist healthcare (UK, Denmark, Canada, to name a few), they all come up below the US in suicides.

I was told it's best practice these days to hash several times: If you hash the $salt.$pw string several hundred times (e.g. 512 or 65536) that only takes a few ms on you server (each time), but for a cracker the constant factor is rather painful, even if only probing simple passwords.

> If there is no "approved" method for creating Linux drivers under licenses other than the GPL, that seems like a major problem that Linux should be working to address.

The problem is already addressed: if someone wants to contribute code to the project then it's licensing must be compatible with the prior work contributed to project. That's it.

Saying "soon" is fodder for deniers as well. My point stands; they'll always deny it up until they're boiling in their own sweat.

TBH, most of the climate "scaremongers" I see in the news are pressing for transition to sustainable energy sources ASAP, and the concern is that the political work required to make it happen in a timescale that avoids severe ecological disruption is missing.
Earlier subway maps didn't combine lines that ran together, and the result was that the lines themself took up an absurd portion of the map. By combining them, you can view a lot more street-level info, which is important for navigating once you leave the subway system. Not sure what's confusing about combining them; stations explicitly state which lines stop there, and also indicate whether they are local or express stops.
“I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.

Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.”

Apologies for the brash tone.

I take the view that making a value judgment on an idea is essentially selling that idea.
i.e. "A is better than B" is clearly advocating for A, as is "A is good"

I disagree with ads in general, but my problem is that blocking any form of endorsement as you suggested above would mean we can't transmit really any useful information. Obviously that means there's some acceptable level of endorsement... but that goes back to the problem of having a game-able filter.

> Wouldn't a long string of failed predictions be indicative of failure to understand...?

No, the number of failures is completely meaningless, just as the number of successes is. The only thing that is relevant is the ratio of success vs. failure, somehow weighted appropriately based on the certainty claimed for the prediction and to correct for duplicated predictions.
For some weird reason I still have two (?) copies of yellowTAB Zeta on my bookshelf, next to my boxed copy of Red Hat Linux 7.3. Amazingly Zeta got more use than Linux, because it was much easier to get everything working on my machine.

I just checked the discs and it's the same "Deluxe Edition RC2" as in that home shopping video. I think my copies were bought as special advance preview builds for third-party Zeta developers, though. And I don't think I paid as much as 100EUR...
If you keep breaking the site guidelines, we're going to have to ban you again. I'd prefer not to, because your comments sometimes contain good information.

Honestly ext4 is fine for most use cases, even SSDs. If you really need more performance look at HAMMER, it’s meant for high availability. At that point you shouldn’t be running Linux anyway, even with RT_PREEMPT it’s not going to be the most performant for those kinds of RTOS workloads anyway.
Yah, it's a real shame that the fossil fuel (and adjacent) industries spent decades spreading misinformation and disinformation, and funding the hell out of any effort that created even the tiniest bit of doubt in the public mind (be it fringe research or straight PR).
Also the fact that climate change is being weaponised as an anti-capitalist vehicle by the left doesn't help persuading conservatives that it may be real/man-made/of the stated magnitude.
But why are all drivers expected to be "part of the project"? We don't treat userspace Linux software that way. We don't consider Windows drivers part of Windows.
you need to convert into billable units at some point, which is what the fractional system gives you, so it's just a matter of whether or not the UI accepts clock based input or not.

i'm not a UI expert but timekeeping doesn't seem particularly innovative. there are probably all sorts of esoteric certifications and approvals one might need for e.g. DoD compliance, so i'm guessing there are few people thinking about this and fewer willing to get it done and certified for the sake of the users.
My C++ is a bit rusty. Does it manifest itself in the standard library as well? The problem with python (in my view) is that this behaviour is implemented in the standard library and therefor propagates to the 3rd-party libraries by convention.

What's Your Experience of EasyNC?
Fair enough, but I live in a very wealthy area and most of the examples I'm thinking of are stay-at-home moms whose kids are now old enough to be in school most of the day. But they're still at anti-depressants like they're poisoned and it's the antidote. Not saying everyone should be seeing a therapist, these aren't the only 2 possible solutions to whatever they're suffering, but it looks to me like overmedication is for sure happening in a lot of cases.
Mechanical shocks are indeed the concern.

> you could drive it right in to a computer non-stop until the battery runs out and it's not going to do any meaningful damage

What is this based on (i.e., are HDDs and all the smaller components commonly designed to withstand such shocks)?

Now I've looked up a random WD Blue HDD data sheet [1], which mentions 30G shock (read/write, 2 ms). If a vacuum cleaner was to hit it directly while moving at about 1 m/s (less than 4 km/h, and it seems to walk at around that speed, though I haven't found exact values), and assuming that it would accelerate the HDD to its own speed in those 2 ms (maybe it's not realistic, though not obvious to me), that'd be about 50G (1 m/s / 0.002 s / 9.8). Even if it is so, a vacuum cleaner has a plastic bumper, a computer case is heavy, and a vacuum won't hit any of those components directly, but it seems dangerously close and I'd rather not hit the computer.

on the 1st comment chain of discussion there from 'blaze33'. this starts a very lengthy talk with some suggestion to the overall problem

lots of these comment have a very large lack of understanding of the basic need that most of us have, such as the replies to user 'atombender', almost all of it just garbage replies

this shows the common lesson that only the right users should be devs, and not any person are able to be good devs. good devs needs to be both users + devs, not only 1 function of being devs or else they're just produce garbage as they arent users

the best answer to the problem is the chrome extension 'onetab' which is also in other web clients. i've never in all the years seen the problem that user 'atombender' said, and this may be cos they were using linux, or they didn't look at the settings of 'onetab', and if they cant even do that, they clearly arent a power user or a sophisticated user

'onetab' doesnt keep 'titles/names' and one of many good improvements would be if it auto-inputs/re-titles a saved set of tabs as the name of the most recently named restored/opened set of tabs

the really only other important comment is from 'azinman2' which mentions the innate flaw of human brains, at least one of the many flaws/defects --> https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=azinman2

I really hope we do not get a UBI in any current forms. I know the second the stores realize that every person now has 'x' amount of dollars to spend, they will raise the prices to match the most they can extract. What I wish Canada would do instead is establish some sort of Universal Basic Rights like every man woman and child is entitled to 5lbs of potatoes a week, 1 gallon of milk, 1 pound of carrots, ect. I as a Canadian do not want a check every week, the next day I can be told my cost of living has gone up. I want to know I can eat and shelter myself at the end of the day. How we can do that I do not know and am thankful I am in a good financial position to not have to worry about it.
