Probably not much can be realistically done actually.

Airlines are hypersensitive to weight since that affects range and fuel costs. The action that American Airlines took to remove complementary magazines from their flights saved millions a year in fuel costs.

In Air Force One's case - they probably have some active countermeasures (flares) and some electronic countermeasures (jamming) built in, but that's about it. Probably useless against a foreign state's advanced SAM capabilities. Much of the extra weight capabilities are most likely taken up by communications equipment to provide the President and staff command authority. Minus some rudimentary capabilities for low-end SAMs, Air Force One is probably just as vulnerable to being shot down as your average cargo airliner.

> To make up for a lack of natural snowfall, resorts switch on the cannons, although they’re energy intensive

And thus only adding to the climate change problem.

Everyone is or will suffer from climate change, but if even the ones currently suffering don't want to make the changes needed to divert the problem how do we expect people that don't feel the pain yet to change?

And no, things like driving a low milage or electric car is not a change that solves the problem, not driver, or driving less is.

That's why I'm pessimistic this problem will ever get solved in time. Since in order to really solve it (compared to avoiding it for a few generations more) we collectively need to agree that we can't keep on living this way and with so many any longer. Which is just not in our (ironically) evolutionary biological nature as a competitive species.
> Nah, but I’d prefer if things changed at the usual pace - slow enough for species to adapt and evolve without catastrophic extinctions.

Why do you think that evolution happens like that? Extinction events are a major driver in evolution, and as far as I know, Punctuated Equilibrium Theory still has quite a bit of traction; many models (especially simulations) seem to show that this is what quite often happens.
Don't be flippant. As someone growing up in the mountains, the ski resort is the one thing keeping the wheels turning. Loosing it will actually quite literally mean forcing us out of our homes.
A lot of people have come to the conclusion that lots of space in the house is not really luxurious but just space that you have to keep clean and pay the bills for. I know a few middle aged couples who begun to regard 800ft² of living space as maximum (not including basement etc.), some even with 2 kids, and plenty of older people who like to have less. And that's certainly not the tiny house guys. It's similar to the stuff Marie Kondo talks about. Plenty of space in the garden is different, obviously.

I was intentional about saying "not preferred" instead of "not supported". You are correct, there have not been any breaking changes, which is very helpful.

When new features and changes roll out (like CSS support in 9.2), they are _good_ improvements. I'm simply stating the rate of change is drastic. Which, as mentioned, is both good and bad.

Here's a solid example. If I were trying to integrate a Firebase API to my Next.js app before API routes, the recommendation might have been to run a monorepo where one app is Next.js + custom server and the other is a Node.js API (deployed with now).

Next 9 and API routes made that unnecessary. Now you can just embed an API route under /pages to talk to Firebase.

Now, if you search for "nextjs firebase example" you might find three or four different ways of doing it on Google. As you said, they all still _work_, but they're not idiomatic Next. It can be hard to dumpster dive through Spectrum chats and GitHub issues to find the new "recommended way" of doing things.

This is a very minor gripe. You're doing amazing work, Tim!
> is either going to be in terms of programming language theory

Programming language theory does not study "advantages;" it's simply not a question it asks, let alone answers. The theory is concerned with what properties certain formal systems have. It cannot, nor does it attempt, to assign those properties a value, just as mathematics does not ask or answer whether prime numbers are better than composite numbers.

> None of these things is straightforward to control for, and I'd be extremely skeptical of any quantifiable metric someone shows me that purports to show clear wins in real-world software development based on language paradigm of all things.

Maybe, but that doesn't matter. You cannot claim that you're providing a significant benefit and in the same breath say that it isn't measurable. An advantage is either big or not measurable; it can't be both. If you say that the benefit of the language is offset by the bad tooling, then you're not really providing a big benefit. If and when the tooling catches up, then it's time to evaluate.

But maybe not. I find it very dubious that significant differences are not measurable in an environment with such strong selective pressures for two reasons: 1. it doesn't make sense from a theoretical perspective -- adaptive traits should be detected in a selective environment, and 2. it doesn't fit with observed reality. We observe that technologies that truly provide an adaptive benefit are adopted at a pace commensurate with their relative adaptability; often practically overnight. The simplest explanation from both theory and practice to why a technology does not show a high adoption rate is that its adaptive benefit is small at best.
One of the reasons there are so many incompatibilities between browsers in every era is that the web is not built out of a small set of primitives: everyone that wants to provide a web interface must implement the whole set of WWW standards (html, scripting, css, etc), which is very difficult and error prone.

If there was only a handful of primitives to implement, and everything else was built on it, then it would be much easier to stay compatible.

This is the kind of situation that has led to IE6 dominating the web, then motivating Google to create a browser, take the market and then Microsoft finally dropping their web engine and taking up Chromium.
Cheap housing is everywhere. The real problem is that cheap housing is useless if you can't find work and work has been centralized into cities so everyone ends up moving to the same locations.
Keep in mind that surface gravity depends very much on density. The earth is pretty dense, having a core of mostly iron. Even a rocky planet can be a lot less dense if it's iron-poor, and so could have a reasonable surface gravity (by our standards) even if several times the earth's mass.

How I made $100k a month selling on Amazon
A lot of ski mountains offer deep discounts if you buy tickets online a few days in advance, rather than at the window the day of, I guess on the theory that they’d rather have sure money than you deciding at the last minute not to go. I’m back in NH visiting family and yesterday I snowboarded at Ragged for $35 by buying my pass on Monday.

Also a season’s pass at Ragged is $249 too, which is an insane deal. There are still smaller mountains in New England that aren’t trying to be mega-resorts where prices are good.
> “If greenhouse-gas emissions continue at the same level, snow will almost disappear at lower levels by the end of the century,”

A common misconception is that if we reduced our emissions, things would get better. The reality is that a particle of CO2 that is emitted today will statistically be there for 10,000 years before disappearing. Once out there it's going to work against us for this whole period. If we reduced our emissions, things won't get better, they will get a little bit less catastrophic and we will have a little bit more time. What we have emitted so far is in the air and it's too late.

If anything, ski touring is often more expensive (gear wise, might save on the ski pass if not starting from the top of a lift). It also has a bigger dependency on snow quality if one want a fun ski experience and isn't mainly in it for the touring part.

Job 4: Marketing and sales driven company, hundreds of Instagram people who drove the StartUp hype train without personality or interest. Good team but terrible environment.

Job 5: Went freelancing ever since. 4-8 months long
projects, doubled my income, not attached anymore to a company mission or politics, do my best work and leave.

>Lift ticket prices have become crazy expensive,

Unfortunately it's what the market will bear. Of course college kids can't out-compete the hordes of DINKs from the Boston area who decide last minute that this will be a good skiing weekend.

As other commenters have mentioned there are still reasonable prices to be had but you have to go find them. The days of just showing up on a whim and getting a fair price are over (this applies to a lot of things, not just skiing).

>the messaging here is that you have to be wealthy to be able to ski.

It's recreational activity you have to travel to and requires a lot of gear and a somewhat prepared area to do it. That sets a pretty high wealth floor no matter what.

You might be right that prices not related to climate change will kill the industry but if that doesn't happen climate change will increase prices (a mountain that's open for fewer months has to charge more to cover fixed costs) until the same effect is achieved.

This looks like a crude version of socialised healthcare to me. Other socialised healthcare systems around the world should in theory face the same problem, wouldn't they? But AFAIK they do not nearly have the same cost issues as the US, at least I'm not aware of this here in Germany.

One theory I've heard that sounds plausible is that

a) insurers do not pay anywhere near what hospitals bill to uncovered patients

b) hospitals do not even expect patients to pay the whole bill, but more like 20% of it, so it is always good to contest the bill

So the problem is that hospitals are cash-strapped for systemic reasons, but can't get it from insurers or the state because those have contracts in place. So hospitals try to squeeze uninsured patients as much as they can with inflated bills, with predictably horrifying consequences. Insurers don't mind because that makes the case for buying insurance even stronger.

So one solution might be to pay for poor/homeless care via state/federal budgets. This could cover poor people up to an income level that can afford insurance.
No, it’s climate change.
