A considerable number of these "green billionaires" are riding on the backs of Lithium battery development and production. Lithium mining, refining, and the battery-making process hardly seem green to me. Is there any research (not funded by these billionaires) to show definitively that battery production is a substantial net gain?

No, because people have been flying with pets for as long as there have been planes. The difference now is people are abusing the system.

SMBus (which is close enough to call I2C) is also a major pain in the ass for Linux integration. If a master goes out of sync with a slave, or a poorly programmer slave tries to multi-master the bus or something, your kernel will hang and crash.

That's a nice start, but it lacks some of the most distinctive features. Even being limited to a single full-view buffer is not very Turbo-like. And I'm not seeing much IDE-like integration.

There's no accreditation for service animals. The Americans with Disabilities Act does not require that a service dog be professionally trained or certified, you can even train a dog yourself and (legally) call it a service animal. It's a wild west and some people end up paying thousands of dollars for dogs that aren't even socialized or house trained.

So basically whenever there's ulterior motive (profit, sex, whatever... but mostly profit or sex), the relationship's tainted? Not very shocking. Ever befriend a real estate agent who then finds out you're selling a house? Ever spend a year as a friend with someone before realizing that person won't rest until they can bang you? Ever befriend ANYONE in an MLM scheme or end up with one in your extended family (ugh)? Ever marry someone to become a citizen? Ever wonder why your wife wants to keep hanging out with that one particular couple only to find out she has a crush on the other dude? Etc.

With regards to reporting, it is probably worse lately than in past years what with the rather severe need to twist things into clickbait to get ad dollars instead of being boringly sincere.
People move over water, you know. Sometimes even while still being in the same country! (You can bring your pets from the continental US to Hawaii; there aren’t even quarantine periods for it.)

Those pet transportation services are for large animals like horses, and for exotics. The costs are prohibitive for regular pets (i.e. not your million-dollar tiger.)

I strongly doubt Chrome is going to support this and Firefox seems even less likely.
I don't know about IE1 and 3, but for IE2 (the one that shipped with NT4) you need at least, from what I remember:

- no name-based virtual hosting (it does HTTP 1.0 but doesn't send Host headers)

- avoid redundant whitespace (it's not collapsed)

- wrap <style> and <script> contents in <!-- and // -->, otherwise they will be visible

I've had to keep an application's webinterface IE2 compatible ("usable") for longer than I wanted to as the initial configuration (opening up ports and IP addreses) was generally done on the NT4 server in IE itself.

(Once initial setup was done, further configuration could be done remotely with a more 'modern' browser, so fortunately only a few pages needed to be usable by IEs that old)
I wasn't aware you could buy an additional seat for your pet. I didn't think space was the issue - rather it was behavioral issues e.g dog starts panicking from the noise or change in air pressure and the disruptions that could cause to the operation of the flight. Plus passengers with allergies.

I'm not sure I have the knowledge base to fully answer your question but one thing to consider is that no matter where you work, if you dig deep enough you'll probably find something unethical (and some might say if you don't find anything, you're not really looking). I mean under capitalism we're all working for just enough to survive and maybe retire on while our bosses take home the fruits of our labor, so we can start from there and conclude there's really no fully ethical job.

What's most important is finding out the core business models your company is aligned with, and who they work for. For example, if you thought Google was a fundamentally evil company (I'm not saying you or I think that, just an example) then by working on Angular you'd be helping to legitimize Google as a business that does a lot of good things. This will ultimately make it much harder to build a popular movement around stopping the evil Google.

You can see this play out in real time right now as Palantir and ICE try to rebrand as companies/agencies that sell/use tools which combat child trafficking. This may be true, but they also terrorize immigrant communities and must be stopped.

One of the nice qualities of man pages is comprehensiveness, while one of the nice qualities of tldr docs is succinctness. Both are mutually exclusive; man pages cannot be both.

It clearly did me in. It made me very sad that I could not write code to problems I have not seen before.

I now do production support which is not what I intended to do. I wanted be a great developer.
I find your thesis interesting (that agile ended the top-down design approach resulting from statecharts modeling). Do you have any references/links I can review to support it? It is true that agile seems antithetic to Big Design Up Front (http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/bmuf.htm). However the methods did seem to have found commercial success (in safety-critical software) albeit not in front-end programming.
I believe instead that the drivers of adoption/rejection are specific to the success factors in specific industries. That or maybe front-end programming is driven more by trial and error (+ hype?) than by engineering.

...and ActiveX reliant legacy apps...
VBScript and HTA files (HTML Applications) come to mind. HTAs were actually an interesting direction, once used them to ship a simple application (a very visual FTP upload). It was unsandboxed HTML and JS that could access all the ActiveX APIs. A bit like Electron now.

Yeah I'd also be curious - the Model 3 seems to be categorically better in every way?

I'd even go so far as to say the Model 3 is the best car Tesla makes, I think it's a lot better than the X (I think the falcon wing doors are actually a pain in practice and the bucket seat arrangement in the back doesn't leave much space for practical use).

The S is nice, but pretty large and I prefer the interior (and door handles) of the 3. I think the 3 also drives more like a sports car because of its smaller size. I don't think there is anything on the market at any price point that I'd prefer day to day.

> When I tell people to grow a pair

Putting it in such an offensive way undercuts any moral claims you might make. Maybe that's why you get such strong push-back. People don't choose to work for "evil" companies out of fear. Some just don't think about it. Some just don't care. Neither of those make their decisions right, but that's not the same as fear either. Some people have different ideas of what's right. Some people believe they can turn something that's currently negative into something more positive. Agree or disagree, it's still not about fear. "Grow a pair" isn't an argument. It's an attack, and people respond to it as such. If you wanted to make an effective argument instead of just giving yourself a dopamine hit, you might try engaging with the actual reasons people decide as they do.
> Still many can read [novels] without much problem.

Compared to what? I didn't say reading of Lisp comes to a stand-still, only that it's slower than block-type-indicator symbols. Maybe it is indeed possible to refactor written English for speed reading. I haven't surveyed the tests. Does anyone here want to claim English is optimized for quick reading?

It's kind of off topic, but I can envision using various symbols and block-markers to delineate parts of English sentences such as subject, verb, object, etc.: "(subject..) $verb {object...}" I think it would quicken MY reading, but I can't vouch for other humans. Maybe I'll patent it, or did Oracle beat me to it ;-)

But that's the idea: commonly occurring features are marked or surrounded with different symbols. You can't really do that in Lisp because nouns are verbs and verbs are nouns depending on the context/usage of the libraries or deeper code, while with Algol-derived languages mostly hard-wire the difference up front. You instantly know and don't have to stop and think or dig.

Indirection/abstraction can and does slow reading in many cases. I'm just the messenger. If YOU can read and process textual words fast, that's great but may NOT be universal across most humans.

> In terms of lines of code I would think that's true.

No, I meant features-per-hour, at least for business-oriented coding [in COBOL].

> Why should it be in the mainstream?

The standing implication, as I interpret it, is that functional programming is inherently superior in general, for a price of a slightly longer learning curve.

> Now you are shifting the goal. You originally claimed that functional code is hard to debug, because there are no variables you can inspect. But that's what we do in Lisp too: we use variables for that purpose.

I'm addressing TWO goals: easier-to-read and easier-to-debug.

> But that's what we do in Lisp too: we use variables for that purpose.

You add them just for debugging? Imperative style typically does that as in regular course. Thus, one doesn't have to alter the code as often just for debugging.

> After a while the reader/writer of Lisp code will recognize the symbolic hints and the usual visual patterns of the layouted code.

Indentation is not a difference maker in comparisons because both candidates can use it.

All of these are directly descended from Latin in exactly the same way that today's English is descended from 1900s English, just over a longer period.
> Do you make the same argument re: drug dealers needing an alternative source of income before we criminalize it?

Unfortunately, yes, I've seen people make that argument.

I've had people tell me drug dealing is the only job available to some people in some communities, thereby making it acceptable morally and it shouldn't be prosecuted criminally (at least not so harshly).

I think this is really cool, but calling it a "systemd replacement" feels like click bait to me.

Systemd manages a huge number of things, and this doesn't even reap zombies, which all good init programs do. It doesn't support run levels, it doesn't support "resapwn" (for getty processes) -- hell feature-wise this isn't even a legit replacement for SysV init.

Having said that, I think this is a neat idea, and it'd be cool to have an emacs server process as a true pid 1 init, and when you SSH or go to the virtual terminals you'd get an "emacsclient".

It's a fine hair because it's understood in every pursuit that the suspect has not already been tried and found guilty of the crime that they are suspected of and being pursued for.

Police are obliged to act professionally and within the law and policy at all times. Sadly, sometimes they do not. Rarely, in my opinion, and that rate seems to be declining. In any case, this a very different question from the question of what pursuit policy should be.

We cannot function as a society without criminals credibly fearing arrest and prosecution.
Does every power imbalance break consent? Or does it depend on the degree of power imbalance?

How is "power" objectively measured to compute whether consent is violated or not? To use a trite example, older wealthy middlingly-attractive gentleman and younger much poorer but very attractive woman? What about boss and secretary? What if the latter results in a stable marriage? (I know of at least one such...) What if it is (to stir the pot further) the Mary Kay Letourneau- Vili Fualaau marriage?

The reason why I ask is that while I believe that in principle, the concept of consent exists, it seems to me that applying it in practice is fraught with things such as fallacious appeals to disgust, belief-infused moral prognostications/judgments and whatnot, and it's just occurred to me that a large part of the difficulty may simply be how to objectively evaluate every consensual exchange to see if consent has been violated or not. Perhaps a framework already exists for just such a need... just throwing this out there.

True, it is dangerous to drive a cool sports car. But its light and it handles well - its even modular with a huge aftermarket meaning I was able to easily spend an extra 1k and get both upgraded brakes and rotors installed.

Thanks for the heads up, definitely a concern for people before committing a whole bunch of money on something. I've been flying FPV racing drones for a few years so I'm pretty confident my brain had adapted to that type of thing pretty well by now. Guess I'll find out for sure in March!

Did you give it a few tries to see if you could adapt? When I started FPV it could be pretty disorienting even while sitting down, after a little bit I had no problem at all standing while flipping all over the place with the drone.
Should they though? In the current climate that seems risky, if your donation to the university wasn't used for education but instead spent building infrastructure on Africa then some folks would likely decry that investment as being self-serving (trying to build good PR to cover up some perceived bad event that recently happened), or it might be decried as being injust (sure, they invested into that village, but the neighboring village was so much worse off), or it might be controversial (did you know that the village you gave money to was the home of the mother of the former dictator that raised a child army over here)... or it might just be decried as being wasteful (if the university has so much money to spare why should I donate to it - they're just lighting money on fire trying to fight causes that have no relation to education).

I think there isn't an easy answer to this question and just letting the ball of cash grow bigger honestly might be the only "safe" decision we've left open to universities... that said pumping it into mutual funds managed by the president's husband or giving steep raises to administrators also looks terrible from the outside.
