I'm also skeptical climate change will be stopped (or, rather, slowed down) because this pandemic has shown us something else:

A large part of the world has basically stopped functioning for a few months. People stayed home, industries didn't produce anything, restaurants stopped serving people, and so on. It was a huge stress on everyone and now that we're reopening up the overall sentiment is that never should the world halt like that again. Governments everywhere are mentioning the idea that maybe we should change something, but the real mindset is to start like before, and work even more for lower wages to compensate for the loss.

It is estimated that over the whole year, the emissions of CO2-equivalent will have gone down by 4% in 2020. There are only 2 years in the 20th century when this happened: 1929, the Great Depression, and 1945, because the industrial powerhouses that Germany and Japan were are not producing anything anymore. We've had the same this year.

But the other fun stats is that if we want to achieve the +2C goal of 2100, that is directly correlated to the amount of CO2-equivalent that has been emitted since the beginning of the industrial revolution; the quota we have until 2100 is such that we need to reduce our emissions every year, and this reduction must be 4% compared to the year before.

In other words, we need an additional lockdown every year, until 2100. That's the scale of the change, and when I see what happens after a single one, it is clear to me we will never reach that +2C in 2100.
Tesla is doing exactly that.
I'm not sure that's an accurate assessment.

Their argument seems to be that:

- This problem can only be solved through action by society as a whole.

- They attempt to promote society as a whole taking action.

- However, until there is evidence that society as a whole will take action, they do not see the need to hurt themselves by unilaterally taking action that will not accomplish anything.

It doesn't follow that they will only act if the government is using coercive force. They would presumably act in any scenario where society as a whole was acting.

It also does not follow that this reasoning would be applied to problems where individual action can make a difference; such as helping the poor.

absolutely this. whenever our PMs come to us with tenant requests for discounts and we (upper management) take a single look at their ledger of on-time and online payments, we immediately do a back of the napkin calculation of the cost of a turnover vs the discount and even if its in a turnover's favor, we usually say give it to them because of the uncertainty of turnovers.

think of the analogy "even money" in blackjack - when the dealer is showing an Ace but you've got blackjack, most objective people will take the "even money" versus gamble against whether the dealer has BJ or not. also why you tend to not split tens unless you're counting =p
As the other poster mentioned, I'm not aware of any terminal that allows these sequences these days.

This wasn't an uncommon thing back in the 90s with DOS ANSI art. I'm not sure if the original ANSI.SYS included with DOS 5/6 but there was a period of time where people remapped things like "echo y|format c:" using ANSI that only required one to "type somefile.ans/txt". The "fix" was to use an accelerated ANSI driver that dropped key-remapping.

Your comment is exactly what OP is talking about. The article is about credibility, not the role of individual choice. Obviously climate change is bigger than rich people going on vacations. Neither the article nor OP disputes this.

The point you're missing is that people who advocate for sweeping policy change - the sort that will require people to drastically change their lifestyles, as well as drastically changing the way human industry operates - are more likely to be taken seriously when they change their lifestyles in advance.
I agree with what you're saying, I think people do have a moral obligation to try to be consistent in their beliefs and actions.

But there's also a different way to view this: This is a textbook tragedy of the commons situation. Basically we're stuck in regime where at the individual level, you're hurting yourself if you're doing the right thing, for almost zero gain to the environment. Getting out of that regime takes concerted action, which most likely will not happen without regulation. The most effective way to help solve the problem is therefore to push for that regulation. That's probably unless you're a celebrity or something.

People like RK4 for arbitrary ODEs because it's fast and usually-good-enough but it is emphatically not what you want for simulating Hamiltonian systems (the two-body problem for example has no bounded elliptical orbits when integrated with RK4; everything escapes eventually).

Usually what you want is some sort of simple lower-order symplectic scheme like Leapfrog. If however that is not feasible for efficiency reasons volume-preserving is often sufficient (again this produces noticeable errors in solutions of the two-body problem in the form of orbit precession, but it gets boundedness of orbits right at least)

It may be a few years before a study like this comes out. And it most certainly will.

The data and sample size needed to give a picture of not only this demographic, but all demographics is still a ways off.
yes, I did.

to add to this - I pay exactly what the freelancer asks, and not a single person I've worked with has ever asked me for an increase in rates, even when I would have gladly accepted. When I offer more money proactively, it's usually when they're dropping the project and I really want them to continue. Unfortunately money doesn't seem to be the issue in these cases - the two instances were "got a job" and "personal issue".

apart from that:

- hourly rates don't correlate with total cost, lower hourly rates = they'll bill you more hours

- higher hourly rates isn't necessarily better. The best, most reliable person I've worked with charged $60/hr. The worst was well over 100.
I don't know what the Macbook does, but I do know that simply equalizing even a cheap speaker to match a target response curve produces astonishing results. I once used $$$$ audio hardware with many parametric filters to calibrate the tinny, resonating built-in speakers in an old LCD monitor. It sounded fantastic.
You can observe the bees and condition them to come at specific time. E.g put feeder (sugar water on a plate) in morning or evening in some distance from the colony (if the colony is there in the hotel) or put the feeder near the hotel. You could see how accurately bees will make trips to feeder after few trials, observe the dance in front of fellow bees, record the dance in camera.

Further you can try to calculate the distance and direction of feeder from hive using the dance of bee. (there's a simple formula and there's always research going on this.)
I was initially concerned about that. But it appears that protests didn't cause big spikes, or even detectable spikes, probably for two reasons: first, the protests were outdoors. Second, almost all the protesters wore masks. The recent super-spreader events have mainly been large indoor gatherings, parties and the like.

The joke is you have to use anycast if you want any redundancy in your network. If you advertise your address space on a single upstream you're praying that they never have any issues.

>BGP route flapping

So what? Your traffic will go over to one of the other locations you're advertising on, and you keep ticking along merrily, with some extra latency.

>single connection traffic being split between different servers

That shouldn't happen. Keep in mind traffic just gets driven to your router, from there you load balance as you see fit. Unless you mean split between different ingress points -- TCP will happily renegotiate with very little overhead, if you're getting more serious issues your application sucks and should should be more resilient to connection state changes (if this is causing you problems, you're probably also dropping users who switch mobile to wifi...). Not to mention that these kinds of path cost updates are pretty rare on the real internet, you're not going to see this more often than once a month maybe.
I think there should be some eponymous law somewhere that says if you use rape as an analogy, then your argument is almost inevitably flawed. Rape is such a deeply emotional topic that invoked drives out logical reasoning. If you can't find a less loaded analogy that still works, then it likely implies that your argument is in fact false. A rape analogy is a flashbang grenade thrown to obscure the lack of truth in your argument.

A better analogy might be forest fires. What the author is saying is that you can't be against forest fires unless you also never light a candle in your home. Or perhaps that you can't be against pollution if you ever throw something in the trash.

I disagree with his implicit presumption that "solving" climate change necessarily involves willfully lowering one's quality of life. Austerity is not a goal, it is possibly a necessary step to fixing the problem. But just martyring yourself will not magically fix climate change. In fact, ideal solutions to climate change do not involve lowering quality of life because that makes them much easier to adopt.

When asbestos was discovered to cause cancer, we didn't fix that problem by having every individual tear the insulation out of their homes and make a personal commitment to freeze their ass off every winter. We outlawed it and used our existing large-scale systems like the law to solve what was a large-scale systemic problem. That in turn drove innovation to find better alternatives and here we are all now mostly safe from that problem.

I agree with you, the author of the original post, and your summary, however I have one nitpick with his rape analogy.

With something like Rape, it is wrong and cannot be tolerated in even the smallest amount. Zero is the only acceptable level of rape.

Pollution is different. We all know that exterminating the majority of the human population and returning to a hunter/gatherer society is not an option. The realistic goal isn't to eliminate all forms of pollution everywhere, it is to reduce the pollution to a level that is less harmful to the planet. The problem is in identifying where and how deep to make the cuts.

Such a situation allows for a person to continue to eat meat, live in a big house and take vacations, while simultaneously calling for cuts to deforestation, legislating for EV transport and nuclear power, and do so without hypocrisy. Essentially you can have each group say "make the cuts, and make them deep, but make them over there".
Good god the Southpoint Apple store is terrible. I went there once because I wanted to buy a new iPad and apple pencil so I could participate in a digital painting workshop the next day, and they wanted me to wait 45 minutes before they would help me. I said that I wasn't going to wait that long and hopefully wasn't an asshole about it (it's never cool to be a jerk to retail employees!) and they did manage to ring me up within about 5 minutes.

The experience was just so weirdly baffling and frustrating and I've since avoided the place. I realize this sounds like the height of American consumer entitlement but it was truly bizarre that the response to "Hi I would like to hand you more than $1,200" was "please wait 45 minutes."

Then there was also the confusion about who to actually to talk to in the first place if you wanted to buy something. Do I talk to the person at the door? Nope, because I don't have an appointment. I should just stand in a corner and hope someone finally talks to me. It was truly amazing that Apple could so thoroughly botch the experience of exchanging money for goods.

Oh no, cops are fucked over for sure. They suffer in many ways themselves. They also benefit in other ways, and IMO are not innocent, but they are definitely fucked over by how we do policing.
The way they presented their oddball claims definitely don't belong . They didn't present their statistics and sample size, they got what is almost certainly a false positive, and instead of acknowledging any of that, they decided to draw a conclusion and present the idea that the virus was spreading in Barcelona in early 2019. The responsible thing to do is to retest the samples, check for sources of contamination, figure out why only two of the five primers are positive. And, check with colleagues and the literature to find out if the primers have a known false positive rate and if that could be it. And, go ahead and sequence the results of our PCR to see if you can get covid sequences out of it. And if you can't figure out how that result came out after all of that, present that with the clear disclaimer that this doesn't make sense in the context of existing data, detail what you went through to test that finding, and clearly delineate the uncertainty and call for further investigation. This is just sloppy science.
There are 2.79 million federal employees in the US. What's the probability that the average voter knows what any of them do all day? Democracy has no chance, we live under the rule of unchecked bureaucracy.
Really though the biggest problem is that our economic and political systems require growth as a policy. This means individuals incur invisible climate costs regardless of their personal habits, simply by participating in a currency scheme that is driven by deficit spending. This is true whether that deficit is used to fund bombing people halfway around the world, or social programmes at home alike. The idea that the government can borrow money to fund a green revolution (that will mostly soak the already rich/politically connected) is laughable, because it misses the very hidden flaw in its premise (that the act of sovereign borrowing is the cause of the problem in the first place).

In principle capitalism itself is not the primary ecological problem; capitalism could extract profits in a closed non exponential system by exploiting gradients in efficiency incumbent with technological improvements. That could even incentivise climate improvement. It's when there is a secular incentive to mindlessly grow that capitalism becomes a menace.
This is undoubtedly true. But EMTs, firemen and emergency physicians encounter trauma every day on the job and we don't hear them taking it out on wives, children and the general public. What gives?
Well that is exactly the point. Of course, climate activists reducing their individual leisure demand would decrease global carbon emissions only insignificantly, if at all.

That's not the point here. The point is that climate activists ask their government for big changes because they fear civilization could end otherwise. And those big changes would have significant impact on the lifestyle of almost all people affected by these laws. So, why should one be willing to (and thus, vote for the changes) change ones lifestyle, if the advocates just say "well, I stop travelling abroad, when everyone else stops as well (and other carbon emission is reduced, too)"? The OP is about credibility, or, even lower level: sympathy.

Maybe it becomes more obvious if we look at one specific example. In the Netherlands they lowered maximum speed on highways to 100 km/h (from 120 km/h). Correct me if I'm wrong but the carbon saving from that law is close to non-existent compared to the whole economy's carbon emissions.

Or, the whole EU banned light bulbs. Also, the energy saving compared to the whole EU's energy consumption is probably sub 1%. And with the advent of white LEDs, people just use more light and the overall effect is even less.

Both measurments combined have an impact less than your claimed 5%-10%. Does that mean that government should stop taking small steps, and only the "big shot" counts?

Or can small steps (by governments OR individuals) be a tool to increase awareness?
Their willingness to suspend advertising is also an indictment of the practically nonexistent competitive landscape in mobile providers in the US.

There just aren't good alternatives to Verizon for many people where T-Mobile/Sprint don't have good coverage. Switching between AT&T and Verizon is pointless for most plans.
totally that's a fair question. I've only been using it by building x, y, z separately and it does reduce my build times significantly. I also just love to be able to fetch binaries with absolutely no strings attached. But in terms of orchestration Docker has far easier interface with compose etc. As far as I know, Nix doesn't really have this sort of solution built in but I guess you could write a derivation where you orchestrate different binaries yourself, starting them with some sort of task manager. So far I just build the binaries with Nix and orchestrate them myself on the server
This (and much worse) has been happening for decades. "Don't take your cell phone" is pretty much rule #1 of going to protests.

I don't even go to protests, but this is in the news all the time. E.g. the surveillance tactics the government used to break up the Dakota Access Pipeline protests was a major news story around the entire world.
To be fair, the Verizon store near me is ALWAYS packed because it has people waiting in line to have something fixed. Microsoft generally relies on OEMs to do repairs (for non-Microsoft devices.) I think that is a key difference. While Apple makes you wait 45 minutes for a repair, you are looking at something new and potentially buying it.
- independent investigations not carried by the police (to be honest I did a double take when I read that the US do things this way... my original country also has a systemic police brutality problem but we still have a completely separate branch of the police to investigate this kind of things)

These 2 would already help a lot.
I buy albums on Bandcamp when it's an artist I love. Bandcamp is also where my band makes the majority of our sales, a combination of digital purchases and merch. It seems like a growing number of people really enjoy supporting artists directly and Bandcamp is the best platform for that.

Lobbying is different. Billionaire CEOs might not see it that way, but they're wrong.

A lobbyist directly influences legislation by advocating for specific policies. Lobbying against climate legislation (or paying people to lobby against climate legislation) while privately voting in favor of it would be like me coming on HN and saying "climate change is a hoax" while privately voting for a carbon tax.
> If you wave a gun in someone's face, they are in their rights to shoot you, even if you had no intention of ever firing it.

That is absolutely not the case. If so, there would be a bunch of very justifiably dead 2A protesters and some cheering hippies. You would NEVER say that about a white man holding a 5.56mm and yelling at someone outside your local state house.

Where exactly did you get that logic? Brandishing a weapon is a crime. Bearing one is not. The difference is squishy, and in neither case are you reasonably allowed to kill someone.

The only reason that makes sense to you is because you have a preconceived notion of whether the person "waving" the gun has a life worth preserving or not.
Would you say that it is worth teaching media studies and literacy in schools?
The stats I'm looking at say there are ~65m people in the UK and ~330m in the US. So about 5x the number of people. If that's true (5x people) and the assault stats are true (3.6x assaults), then policing more dangerous in the UK.
