I had this idea for an RTS to make it more accessible, only allow one action per second (and you can manage a queue of actions). That way it plays more turn-based and strategic. Maybe 60 APM would still be too high and 30 APM would be better. To make it distinct from a faster paced tactics-genre game I think you would likely want smart AI that can micromanage for you and the idea is that you are giving them more high level commands like be aggressive, defensive, and maybe a sub-task like either patrol or aquire materials when not suspecting combat. I think that this would be more akin to playing like a General than current RTS, which is more playing like an all-knowing micromanaging god. Maybe I'll try it out after my next game.

Beautiful! I tried it with quite a few cities. Most of the cities hardly look as if they were planned out!

A few from the Wikipedia list [0] looks nice though.

That's an untaxed externality, which is one of the many things that markets do not handle well. There are others.

Here's the difference: the river is not being treated as an unlimited resource, it's being treated as a free resource. Nobody genuinely thinks the river can dilute unlimited toxic waste, but someone does genuinely think they won't be held accountable for killing the fish. In contrast, nobody in the oil business could expect to "get away with" ignoring peak oil, because they could not expect their customers to buy products that they were unable to produce from oil that did not exist.

Markets do not address global warming, but markets do address "peak oil," and the staggeringly bad suggestions that get passed off as wisdom every time people start talking about "peak oil" type problems remind me why we put up with markets in the first place.

I hate to be that guy, but have you considered moving to another search engine? For example, DuckDuckGo is very decent once you adapt to it. And for the few cases where you absolutely need Google to read your mind, just add "!g" to your query and you're automatically there.
I'm a solo dev working on 2-3 side projects. I have 2 freelance customer support staff helping me with normal support stuff but also acquisition and outreach, while I focus on freelance development (which is unrelated to the side-projects). Possible I will add 1-2 more support in the coming year.

For this use-case Front has been really awesome. Each side project has a different domain and each project has several role-based emails (one for clients -> support@domain and one for content stuff team@domain). Plus Facebook and Twitter.

Email arrives at the person who sent the first email, and I can easily assign emails written to me to a team member. The internal chat functionality is clear (in Zendesk the UI was a bit confusing so sometimes we inadvertently wrote the internal message to the client - nothing bad, but still unprofessional).

I tried Freshdesk, Zendesk, Intercom and some others, but always had some trouble with one of the requirements. E.g. can't use different outgoing signatures. Or a second domain requires a second account or the Enterprise upgrade (for 20 emails a day?), or there were so many different filters and views that I got confused.

Probably for enterprise level you might need something else and you need all the rules and automation stuff, but for my use case it's been great. It's not the cheapest, but it's worth it, because we've been able to answer to support inquiries faster and I have less work to do.

What is the mis-selling exactly? Doesn't seem to me that they're saying using their VPN will make you impenetrable to dedicated actors with nation-state resources. VPNs do help maintain one small level of privacy (namely from your ISP), and if you're using one it's a good bet you'll be interested in other privacy concerns too.

There are a lot of VPNs with really bogus claims on their websites but I didn't notice anything appalling about this.
I'd like to know why 1-wire isn't more common. It seems to me like a more elegant protocol than I2C. Not least because every device has a unique baked-in address so you don't need to worry about address collisions or dip switches to alter them.

(Also: needs one fewer wire)
I'd be less worried about the contaminants in the water, and more worried about the contaminants in the air.

Housing would be much cheaper if it wasn't collateral for loans. That collateral aspect of it makes it the foundation for money creation in the private banking system and thus all the new money in the economy flows through housing first.
It seems to me like a person could care about “these n people lacking privacy in this way” more than n times as much as they would care about any one of them marginally gaining or losing privacy in that way?

Or, idk if that is quite the right formulation for what I mean.

But, at the least, it seems likely that some people will sometimes be willing to take an amount of effort to protect the privacy of a large number of people, when they wouldn’t take that same amount of effort to just protect their own to the same degree.

It seems likely to me that a major impact of lack of privacy comes from many people lacking privacy, in ways that wouldn’t happen if it were only a few lacking it, and also where a few re-gaining it doesn’t influence the impact all that much.

If so, then people not avoiding something because of privacy concerns in sufficient numbers to substantially influence the amount of use, doesn’t seem to entirely rule out that they care about privacy. Perhaps their behavior could be attributed to a collective action problem, where they each would prefer that all of them avoid it, but don’t find it worthwhile to be among only a small number of people avoiding it.
Like I said, reducing the traffic congestion that busses deal with will speed them up.

However, it is completely unavoidable that if there are 30 people on the bus at all times, the average person will have to wait for 30 people to board and 30 people to get off. That could mean 60 stops, or it could mean one stop where everyone gets off and everyone gets on. Obviously the second one is faster, but reducing stops also means people have to walk further, which increases travel time.

Except in extraordinarily dense cities, the iron math of transit is that if you want to have 30 people on a bus, you're going to have to make people do some walking, they're going to have to wait a little while for a bus, and even without any congestion, they're not going to go very fast because of all of the stopping. That makes the door to door time very unfavorable relative to driving, and so except in those extraordinarily dense cities, very few people that can afford a car use transit.

Because there are a bunch of people on the bus, getting on and off has to be hurried and stressful, because you're making 30 people wait. This is particularly annoying if you're traveling with luggage or kids.

The environmental benefits of transit are potentially big, but let's do the math. A city bus gets about 3.3 MPG (https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10310) It's low mostly because the bus is so heavy and has to stop so frequently. If you have 30 people on the bus, it's about 100 passenger miles/gallon. The average car is about 24 MPG. If you have 4 people in it, it's 96 MPG. If you have 1 person in it, it's 24 MPG, so we can see that the big efficiency benefit of putting people together happens with just a few people. Smaller vehicles are also more flexible. The city bus that is running full at rush hour is also running with 2-3 people on it at 10 at night. It might be getting 6 MPG with less stopping, but it's very wasteful to run such a large vehicle almost empty. Smaller pooled vehicles can still run relatively full in off hours, and the extra capacity sits parked not using any energy.

My point overall is that transit just gets much better in basically every dimension if you reduce the number of passengers per vehicle.

The only reason transit agencies aren't doing this now is the cost of the drivers. Even with the cost of the drivers, UberPool is a similar product with non purpose built vehicles that has been fairly successful. If you took out the cost of the driver and reduced the ride price accordingly, it would dominate passenger transportation.

Lots of things can drag down the value of a home to zero. Lack of maintenance or a natural disaster are two big ones, but also the neighborhood could turn to crap or an infrastructure crisis that isn't resolved.

Add to that property taxes continue to accumulate on buildings. There are quite a few ways to drive a house to worthless. I used to live in a region where houses were <$10k because they were condemned shells in crime-ridden areas.
Yeah- there are definitely problems with it on pans, but the context of the thread was for PTFE as a water repellent in clothing.

As far as I know, the concerns for uses where high heat isn't an issue are related to manufacturing byproducts- which can make their way into the final product, but also if the manufacturer doesn't dispose of them correctly, they can wind up in the environment.

It's almost a bit like Agent Orange (though probably not nearly as bad, at least not in the medium-term?)- the intended product isn't the problem, but the manufacturing process makes it really easy to let nasty stuff slip in.

But I don't know that much about this, so please correct me if I'm wrong! Not a chemist, I just read a lot.

My point is that if you think "what we need is more democracy" you're going to be very disappointed in the results.

Yes, there are many people who lie. That’s what makes it a problem, just like with other types of pollution.

But in my experience your characterization of crowdfunding is mostly wrong. While projects tend to describe their product as they intend for it to be in final ready form, the whole concept of crowdfunding makes it clear enough that backers help fund something that isn’t yet a reality, and that there is risk involved.

We Strongly Support Drone Remote ID. But Not Like This
I agre with you - but after seeing the progress of self-driving vehicles over the last few years, I think we're still many years away from 100% hands-off, sleep-in-the-back-seat self-driving vehicles.

It's been a very quick ramp up to 90% self-driving capability, but the last 10% is going to take a lot longer than people realize.

Can a connection be formed between ethics education for tech, and ethics education in general?

Kudos for infrastructure as code. Surprisingly many companies, particularly database companies, don’t deliver infrastructure as code yet, which makes it harder for their prospects to become paying customers.

One way to make your examples better would be to make one block of code with all the commands at the bottom or top of the page, or a link to a Makefile, so the motivated reader can copy paste everything into their IDE at once. Terraform provider docs are great for this: code at the top ... however the code is often limited to just one resource, when the user goal requires a number of resources.

It’s subtle, but declarative programming could mean one of two things: declare the systems to achieve your goal (this is how it usually works right now) or declare the goal. The latter is much better UX for devops folks because the goal is what we care about. You want to host a site, not connect a bucket to a cdn and dns. Declare the purpose, not the mechanism, and everyone saves a lot of time, because there are many micro states (implementation options) per macro state (big picture goal) (entropy 101)
The usual practice is for autopilots to be switched off when the plane is within 200 feet of the ground. (Or a similar distance.) I think a self driving car would be a much easier sell if it never came within 200 feet of anything it could hit.

I tend to agree with your sentiment. I read the Mozilla document and it’s not so much about an analytical approach to ethics and computing but an activist approach based on particular values (many of which I personally agree with but that’s beside the point).

In terms of ethics, the papers by Batya Friedman and Peter Kahn were incredibly influential to me and many of which I would consider required reading for anyone interested I studying ethics and computing.

Aflo.io – Get Effective Marketing and Sales Strategies for Startups
I built a battery powered project designed to run continuously for ten years. Of all the things in that design, the I2C bus makes me the most nervous (1). Every time the MCU wakes up it has to use I2C to read from the RTC. If at any point in that ten year span the I2C bus gets jammed ...

I mitigated the issues by doing I2C resets on every read (see the Analog Devices I2C reset documentation linked in another comment) and reading multiple times to filter out any spurious bit errors.

Other than that I just have my fingers crossed that a bit doesn't accidentally flip and overwrite something in the RTC. Or that the bus somehow gets stuck driven between sleeps and drains the battery early. sigh SPI would have been so much nicer.

(1) I mean, okay, the massive lithium battery exploding is perhaps the most nerve racking component, but I2C is a close second.
