>The point here is that there are people with integrity. They do exist. And they can be friends regardless of other duties — sometimes unpleasant ones.

Sure. There are fantastic individuals out there.

The key to fair systems is to structure the system in such a way that does not rely on the recruitment of extraordinary individuals who are filled to the brim with integrity.

The key is to create a system of checks and balances that disallows obvious unfairness by means of liability isolation and personal separation, etc.

I'm glad your friendship with whoever Scott is worked out despite whatever problems on HN, but all the example tells me is that Scott (and to a smaller degree, yourself) have some level of personal integrity; but facts and statistics generally say that systems that can be gamed, will be -- and that's without a motivating factor other than a personal win; include motivation like money and power and the scales tip much more radically against those with integrity.

For every 'Scott' there are 10 folks without any integrity that'd have gladly re-instantiated their friends' accounts that had been banned AS LONG AS it didn't mean hurting their own position.

That's exactly why 'fair' systems are generally built in such an isolated fashion so as to reduce inclusion of bias and personal feelings.
He gave anonymously until 9/11 forced his hand. In the wake of the attacks, international money laundering laws were tightened, and large international transactions were scrutinised.

Feeney donated some half a billion dollars to medical research in Brisbane, Australia, guided by an old friend from his young days in Hong Kong, the tennis player Ken Fletcher.

When Fletcher told former Brisbane Lord Mayor Jim Soorley he had a mate with millions to give away to good causes, nobody in Brisbane would take him seriously. It forced Feeney to come out with his philanthropy, and whilst he never cultivated a public profile, Feeney did at least speak in public on a few occasions when dedicating medical research centres that were built with his donations in Brisbane.

Yes, in 2008 recession it happened. Middle east & Dubai have way way lot expats as compared to locals, sometimes like 90%. Most of the Dubai expats had lots of disposable income for similar jobs as compared to income from same jobs in their home countries, so many of them financed luxury cars, expensive houses etc. Once recession hit, the jobs started disappearing here & there, & expats had no choice but to return back to home. Now, if they inform bank first, banks can stop them from exiting country by government assistance, so many of them just drove to airport in those cars, parked, took flights & never looked back.
I don’t think so. He could play it differently, that is, with integrity.
I can't believe anyone who has ever actually used SQL for more than a few hours would not know the keywords are case-insensitive. More likely it was just someone given a list of keywords to filter out, with no mention of case-(in)sensitivity.
It seems like you're trying to finesse definitions until the answers come out the way you want. Why would ARM count as a competitor if there are ARM servers for sale from HP or Dell, but it doesn't count when there are ARM servers for sale from Gigabyte, and for rent on Amazon EC2? And in another comment, you're doing the same thing about what it means to have 3D graphics support.
that's funny, because I feel that the DNC is the most soulless, vicious, corrupt and generally awful human beings there are.
I definitely would expect Trump to calculate whether it is more in his interests to do it before or after election day.

I don't think it's possible to remove the election math, though. Whatever he does, it could influence voter turnout for both sides.

There's also the possibility that something about the election will be disputed and go to the Supreme Court (as happened with vote counting with Bush v. Gore in 2000). So Trump might decide he wants his appointee to already be serving before election day if he thinks that would be more in his favor.
This — suspension of judgement long enough to engage in genuine introspection, followed by a return to the conversation with humility — is something we so rarely see, and each need to engage in more.

Kudos to you for leading by example.
Which candidate received the most votes from American voters in both 1992 and 1996?

Based on the definition I understand, the candidate who gets the most votes nationwide is said to have won the popular vote.

You are correct that the majority of voters did not vote for Clinton in 2016. I misspoke. However, she did win the popular vote. More Americans voted for her than voted for Trump. However, against the wishes of the voting public, Trump was elected president.

The American people are being held hostage.

I think you are wrong. The mutual respect that grows out of friendship makes it easier to consider the other side of an argumen more seriously. And if there is one thing that is needed now it is more common ground being sought - not less.

The idea that one ought not fraternize with those who disagree with one’s opinion is unproductive and leads to unnecessary division and ultimately a weaker system. Ultimately it is a brutish and uncivilized idea.

I wish your post wasn’t downvoted. Bad ideas require discussion to be understood. And they can’t be discussed if they are removed from discourse.

Me (and many others I'm sure) love plane noises!
I once interned at HAL (Indian defense manufacturer), and rented a place nearby. We had fighters constantly taking off and landing, defense transport aircraft flying very low (it was so bulky as if it shouldn't be able to fly), helicopters hovering nearby. All day long. Was easily one of the best months of my life.
Whenever I hear a plane I go out and look at it. Its an absolute marvel of engineering. Will never stop being amused by planes.
Can't wait for urban electric VTOLs to take off.

Let’s be clear. A lame duck is one that has been shot, is still in flight, but is headed down. In politics, it refers to after a sitting representative loses an election (or term limit ends) but before before the term ends.

Obama was not a lame duck when Scalia died. McConnell et al redefined the term to suit their needs. As they will no doubt redefine it now.

Being an Alpha Is Not a Leadership Strategy
I don't see how that's contradicting. The parent comment was talking about carbon emissions per mile traveled between various forms of transport, your article talks about total carbon emissions. It's possible that long distance travel emit tons of carbon regardless of method, and flights are the least bad.
All the baggage you speak of was entirely unproven, and unprovable since they were 30 year old accusations.

All this in an election year where there was hope that maybe Republicans wouldn't have the votes afterwards.

That seems more towards corruption than legal proceedings to me.

Note during the last year of Obama the democrats did not have the majority, so it's not really a fair comparison (what McConnell did would have been impossible otherwise). But still, this is a norm, not a law, in the same way that, with or without another Trump nomination, Biden could legally appoint justices until he has the majority. There's no law unfortunately setting the size to 9.
Not a contradiction. Driving a car on a long road trip also produces more CO2 than many people do in a year in some countries. You're not considering how low the standard of living we're talking about here is. These are people who don't have electrical service at home.
I didn't mean he was actually working for Facebook. I meant it's an extension of the project there. Even though it seems unrelated.
You’re of course welcome to your opinion, and welcome to make the opinion the exact opposite of mine to try to mock the situation. That says a lot of negative things about your character.

Nevertheless, my opinion is based on the recent history of the current makeup of the Republican Party and their deplorable actions. I’m sure you can find something to disagree with on the DNC side, but that’s not the point. People can reasonably and strongly disagree and still work with one another and respect one another’s goals. The gulf between this and where the current Republican Party is may as well be an ocean. This is the party of Trump, a fake gold veneer on rusted metal.
> All legistlation will be dropped until this matter is complete. No stimulus checks, no help for businesses, everything else just dropped to Ring2 and getting a new SCOTUS judge is in Ring 0

All that stuff is held up in congress - they need the senate judiciary committee and the senate to approve a judge. That's it.

People are downvoting because they're unhappy with the situation but my stating it gives them a target. But on the other hand, I'm not super worried about internet points.

There's a possibility of a block of republicans who are anti trump (romney, collins, murkowski at least) might try to spike it, but McConnell has already said Trump's nominee will get a vote. I guess we'll see if they can cooperate enough to push it through.

Grassley, Murkowski, Collins, and Graham have said they oppose a vote, but that might be lip service and there's a difference between "opposing a vote" and not voting. And pence gets a tie breaker if its a tie.
probably, if GM sticks it in everything.

mass adoption of the same series' of motor over an entire line-up will definitely increase the amount of parts that are available for folks to tinker with outside the GM models -- one of the big factors that lead to the success of the LS in the car-hobbyist sector was that one could find one at the nearest junkyard.

but, really, that trend started earlier with the 4" bore small block motors from 1962 onwards; the same family of engine the LS is from, anyway. They were produced forever, put in everything, and could be had by any hobbyist for very cheap from the closest junkyard.

In the spirit of David MacKay's wonderful freely available book "Sustainable Energy – without the hot air" let's do a back-of-the-envelope estimate to roughly quantify how bad:

The aircraft is a Qantas B787-9 Dreamliner with 236 seat passenger capacity [1]. This trip took 134 passengers and lasted for 7 hours [2]. A Boeing B787-9 has a fuel consumption of roughly 5600 kg fuel / hour [3]. Following the Australian government, we assume the aircraft is 100% fueled by Aviation Turbine Fuel [4] aka "avtur" aka Jet A1. Jet A1 fuel has an emissions factor (kg CO_2 / kg fuel) of 3.15 [5] . Note: this emissions factor is pretty close to a naive estimate of how much CO_2 you'd get if you burned petroleum ( 1kg of petroleum at 85% C by mass gives 0.85 kg of C gives mass(C) * molar_mass(CO_2) / molar_mass(C) = 3.12 kg CO_2 ).

So, fuel burned per passenger = (7 hours * 5600 kg fuel / hr ) / 134 passengers = 293 kg fuel / passenger. CO_2 emissions per passenger = 293 kg fuel / passenger * 3.15 kg CO_2 / kg fuel = 922 kg CO_2 .

But, we're not just burning things at ground level, we're burning jet fuel in the sky, which the 1999 IPCC special report on "aviation and the global atmosphere" explains has an additional impact in terms of radiative forcing. As summarised by MacKay:

> Is flying extra-bad for climate change in some way? Yes, that’s the experts’ view, though uncertainty remains about this topic [[ 6 ]]. Flying creates other greenhouse gases in addition to CO2, such as water and ozone, and indirect greenhouse gases, such as nitrous oxides. If you want to estimate your carbon footprint in tons of CO2-equivalent, then you should take the actual CO2 emissions of your flights and bump them up two- or three-fold. [7]

So using MacKay's suggested 2x -- 3x multiplier, we get:

Global warming impact per passenger for a single 7 hour flight to nowhere: equivalent to around 1.8 -- 2.8 metric tons of non-aviation CO_2 emissions.

For reference, that's around 7 -- 11% of an average Australian per-capita annual climate footprint, or 19% -- 29% of an average EU28 per-capita annual climate footprint [8].

This is nonsense. Trump got three million fewer votes than Clinton.
Now that you mention it, I'm surprised I can't think of any example of someone fixing a software bug that is older than them. (I'm assuming Warner Losh is older than 35).
What’s it worth? Ishtar lose the majority and possibly a couple seats? I think they take that, they have no ground to stand on the social issues alone.

It’s sad how many justices will be on the court, appointed by men that didn’t win the popular vote
you forgot "and is after 1890" since he is ignoring the contradictory cases before then.
>Wouldn't it be better to compare fuel per passenger per hour rather than per km?

Why? The purpose of transportation is getting from point A to point B. Who cares if flights emit 5x the carbon per hour if it gets you there 20x faster?
Where does this end? What keeps this principle from extending to a President's entire term, as opposed to just the last year? If Democrats ever retake the Senate, why should they ever hold hearings for a single Republican judicial appointment, let alone confirm one? Should judicial appointments just sit vacant until president and Senate are from the same party?

I think it's a perversion of the "advice and consent" language from the Constitution for the Senate to simply stonewall a nomination process until they get the President they want.
No, it was just fumbled through three generations of management changes.
This is exactly the problem! Some people insist something is immoral without doing any quantitive analysis.

(The statement "one flight produces the same amount of CO2 as ..." is not good enough analysis. Airlines (including freight) produce about 2% of all emissions, so if all people stop using planes completely, it will amount only to 2% reduction).

(Should I also avoid buying something with expedited delivery because it will be deliverd by an airplane? Should I stop flying for a vacation once a year? Should I stop inviting my parents to visit me, because they would come by plane?)

How can we be sure that flying is more immoral than other activities which produce CO2 (including driving, housing, electricity and so on)?

And again, even if in theory all people in the world will try to do only the "right" things, it will still work worse than carbon tax. Simply because people don't know and cannot know much CO2 in that particular dollar spent, but competivite market knows.

Shaming is just counter-productive virtue signalling. Carbon tax is a rational and efficient way to solve CO2 emissions riddle.

FYI, you can do a lot of this stuff with AppleScript on the Mac. E.g., my workflow is to collect tabs on a topic, then I run a script that copies those tabs as a Markdown list. I paste that list into my notes for a project. Then, when I come back to that project, I can just select the list of Markdown links, and run another script to open them as tabs again.
Exactly - you’re compelled to cheat and have to find out how to get away with it since you _know_ others are doing it.

It’s a huge issue. Very interesting psychology. Joe Rogan has a few episodes on it but I can’t remember who he interviewed. I think there’s a documentary related to this, perhaps Icarus if I recall correctly.
The irony of your scare-mongering is that Roe was a 7-2 case where two Nixon appointees voted in the majority. It was reaffirmed in Casey where another Republican voted in the majority. Obergefell was written by a Republican. So was Bostock.
You guys aren't manufacturing from the cad files, are you? Like convert to gcode and send to a CNC? Or is it just for models only.

I'm not in that industry, but it makes sense you'd have a use for it at least.

The thing is that fusion360/solidworks/etc does parametric modelling so can probably be used just as easily, with the added benefit of being industry standards.

No. I would not be happy about it. But I fully expect them to do it. There are no longer norms. Screw the country. It is every man for himself.
Wonderful pie graph.

It’s interesting to see that although roads & transport are the largest single emitter, iron and steel production is actually within the same ballpark. I wonder if the figures are correct because that is truly an enormous amount of emissions from just iron and steel processing from ore, equivalent to ~2/3 of all road transport!
yeah but also in the meantime... be reasonable and don't take 7 hour flights to nowhere
