I appreciate the point you're trying to make, but the truth is that you can make factual arguments without being so aggressive. Whether the aggression is targeted at a person doesn't really matter. It's unnecessary, disrespectful, and just feeds into the general toxicity that plagues our culture.

> Thus if I'm nice about it, I'm ignored, if I'm vocal and aggressive about it, I'm heard but it will also hurt my reputation.

I think the fact we are talking about your tone and not your points about functional programming speaks to this by itself. You weren't heard. You were felt, though.

> I'm not actually aggressive as there are no personal attacks

Aggression without a target is still aggression. If I aggressively take the recycling out, that aggression is still experienced by people around me. Probably my partner, who will inevitable have a little talk to me about it, lol.

> Tell me, in your opinion, how would you get such a point across in a culture where the opposite is pretty ingrained?

Engage in an intellectual conversion based off mutual respect. You will never change someones mind on the spot, intellectual people will often mull things over for a while. In the process you may learn a few things yourself. I've worked in places that excelled at this, where respectful discourse was promoted. Conversations revolved around facts, but respect was maintained.

Sidebar: Shopify doesn't really have microservices. They have a few services, but they are entire services which serve an entire business unit. They are the exception. When I worked there I worked on one such service. What I'd tell people is if you couldn't start a whole new company with the service you were building, don't build it as a service.
Calling a service that launched only 17 months ago "legacy functionality" is troubling. Why should I engage with any new Mozilla product or service if they're going to cut it off at the knees after a year?
That is a factor in herd immunity though.

How is this different from silencing employee objections to unethical corporate practices? It’s not merely “talking politics at work” to point out that, for example, your company’s practices are helping a political party steal an election. That’s an ethical concern, not a political one.
If you build something to last 100 years, you leave little incentives for maintenance and all but guarantee a catastrophic failure a century from now.

-- My comment about a family above was sarcasm, not a picture of reality. A large organization is quite capable of determining what maintenance is needed for its infrastructure and doing that maintenance. PG&E knew quite a while back that they were in trouble here. It wasn't the long time frame but profit and regulatory incentive structure that drove their decisions. They'd have done the same for short-lived infrastructure. They've done the same thing in the case of tree-trimming; something they should be doing constantly and haven't (note, living in Portland, or, the local utility, Portland General Electric (called PGE for kicks), trimmed trees with abandon, which is better than the alternative).

Sure, designing for maintainability is a nice strategy but fixed lifetime + replace is an effective strategy too.

Basically, the whole line of reasoning about short versus long lifetimes is a complete red herring and the neglect and decay of PG&E's infrastructure was an explicit on the company's part and documented as such and has nothing to do with how infrastructure was designed.

Not GP. In my opinion, the only reliable measure is excess death (if you believe death count, which I trust for most countries, but not all countries), because it is invariant to these (often political) classifications. See e.g.[0] (it is up-to-date for 11-sep, despite the link date saying April 21). In fact, these graphs would look the same even if you didn't have access to any testing/diagnostics/causes-of-death.

It is easily visible which countries have gone back to baseline, which countries haven't, and which didn't even have a "first wave", which likely means that they are in great danger of one happening.

It's strange.

It's like a wild species with vibrant, sometimes garrish colors saying 'Look at me!', where to discriminant viewers it's typically poisonous.

I'm pretty cautious.

But for a large number of my favorite content creators it's a bait and switch. Bait your clicks and actually provide really meaty content.

That aside, my personal favorite trend in the digital media space are the 1-4 minute tutorials for people who already know the software.

These people typically make money outside of Youtube and don't rely on snaring views.
Recommending you a video you don't want to watch is a wasted opportunity. If you don't want to watch it, you won't, so YouTube's earnings are zero. If something you do want to watch is recommended instead, you will, and YouTube's earnings are nonzero.

I'm right now on a browser without my account and on which I don't usually watch YT, basically only when someone pastes a link while gaming. About half of the front page are things I might have clicked on when bored. A third are long. Two are definitely controversial. I don't buy your hypothesis.

Disclosure: I work in Google, but my closest contact with YouTube was drinking whisky with a YouTube SRE some four years ago.
Most toxic elements last forever. That includes the toxic elements in coal ash. Both coal ash and spent nuclear fuel need indefinite safe storage. It can be cheaper to store spent nuclear fuel because it's so much more compact than fossil fuel waste.

Remember that the status quo already has a large forever-waste cost of its own. Nuclear waste is a trade off vs. other kinds of waste, and it is cheaper than the status quo.

Not really. If there is existing immunity then the measured R0 will be lower than the actual R0, but we don't know how to measure the true R0 in absence of the current population with their immunity so we can never know what the true R0 might actually be.

Note that true R0 is a concept I made up on the spot. I think it is clear what I mean but experts in this may have better terms.
"Food desert" mostly doesn't refer to eating out but being able to buy unprocessed food/produce/etc. which is hard to do if your only option is a convenience store. But there mostly are supermarkets available if not as plentiful or as good in low income areas.

I travel a lot in the US too though (as an American) and I've rarely (in cities) had much of an issue finding restaurants I consider good--though I'm not sure most meals I get on the road really qualify as "healthy" day after day either in the US or most other places. And, certainly, if you're looking for something quick and easy, that's probably going to be some fast food franchise. I almost universally avoid but that assumes putting some time and effort into finding better places when on the road.
Right. But there's a couple of things I'd like to point out.

1. These days, for Softwares, development costs are fixed, but there are also marginal costs associated with operations, especially when the product is on cloud. Yes, support is part of the equation, and different users get different amount of support, but that's not the only marginal cost. (Trust me even free ones get some support)

2. This move probably isn't about recovering back marginal costs. It's about recovering the fixed costs. The pricing model limits newer features like generative design to paid users, which is expected, because they need to hire engineers to build new features and maintain existing product. So they're limiting that functionality to paid customers. In the bike analogy, it would be something like buying accessories for your bike.

3. The change in pricing model does reflect what you're actually saying. There is still a free tier which allows for basic usage. But all the things that contribute to additional costs to the company are being taken away. You get 10 documents, but for more you'll have to pay. Because with cloud products, to store more data, they would probably either have to maintain servers additional servers or pay cloud providers for storage, in either case, it costs money.

To make the function generic over some lifetime 'a, similar to how generic functions can be generic over some type T (e.g. foobar<T>). This is usually not necessary to write as it is elided in common use cases.
Facebook must make political decisions, because it must have a stance on content moderation. Even if that stance is "we shouldn't moderate content", that is a political decision. All possible actions and inaction around content moderation require political decisions, and you can't be in the social media business without having a content moderation policy.
Ah, of course, censoring political discussion is the answer!
If you can't measure it how do you know it exists? That is at least half of my point, the other half being you can't assume a specific course of action is necessary and proper without demonstrating the harm actually occurred. That you think harm might occur is not enough, you need to show it has occurred (and can probably use proof of past harm to show that inevitable harm will occur).

Your example is disingenuous because a cockpit instrument by definition monitors something you want to pay attention to. We can measure and record many things, most of which are probably irrelevant to many problems and their solutions.
> Having a consumer download a sketchy file from what should be a trusted service (it's firefox! they're the good guys!) is not good for your company image, either.

I just don't understand this kind of logic. I can send mail bombs with the trusted postal service and people will open them. Does anyone blame the postal service?
It’s the same every year. I’m sure they could raise the price later on, but if you’re that worried, you can extend your registration to 10 years for 10x the one-year price. And if they do end up raising the price, you can also transfer your domain away.
It does. The west coast is fire and earthquake prone. The east, hurricanes. There's a giant swath of land in "flyover country", the Midwest, that doesn't have any particular disaster risk.

But people like living near the oceans, mountains, and where weather is nice. That should be okay, but the government shouldn't be throwing money at them. Let them know the area is dangerous, and if they want to live there, they're on their own.

I get miffed when we bail these people out with federal funds for disaster relief. They should be required to have private insurance, with insurance free to set rates based on risk. If it's too expensive to get insured, don't live there

Interesting. Seems fairly comparable to the Sonoff Basic (also ESP8266, retails around $5), but more DIY friendly.

Cultural changes don't fix the duck curve. Around 4-7 PM is when virtually everyone is running their HVAC the most. This is also where you are starting to lose most of your solar generation capacity. There is a solid 4-5 hours of thermal momentum that needs to be compensated for before everyone hits set point temperatures and units cycle off on the hottest days.

Unless you are proposing that we do away with basic comfort in many regions, or spend hundreds of billions of dollars tearing down every structure and re-engineering them for passive comfort, I do not think there is much choice other than to bring in more peak generation capacity or employ currently-infeasible grid scale storage.

unless I'm missing something, it seems to be a glorified directory service.

edit: I just looked at their website and now I'm really confused. the app itself directs you to just call 911 for any life-threatening emergency.
Ofcourse, Gecko is Open Source. There are many forks of Gecko and Firefox too.

Where I live, there's a minimum income level for shared house rooms as well, and the cost of a room can be 50% of someone's income if they are working but poorly paid, so they won't be allowed it.

Luckily rooms are more likely to be rented somewhat informally, or by less stringent agents & landlords, compared with flats, so there's a decent market of these without a hard income requirement, alongside those with the requirement.

I missed it was in a database when I checked it out. That'd be a hard no for me.

I much prefer separate text files for any minimal notes solution, since that plays well with nvAlt, Obsidian, 1Writer, etc, and is the safest sync in every file syncing service (they pretty much all know how to deal with text conflicts). It also lets me write side tooling to crawl and process notes much more easily than if I had to hit a database.

At this point, a proprietary database had better be justified by something epic like Roam's bullet transclusion or Evernote's back-end handwriting OCR, or some other killer feature that's hard to replicate locally in decoupled files. Otherwise, it's just not worth even considering.

There is absolutely no "physics" that goes into those postings. It's just some gut feelings. I've come across this at least a dozen times, with people just sure that "physics" says something, but there is no physical principle that requires we decrease energy use to power the entire world with renewables and storage and possibly hydrogen or other synthetic carbon fuels.

We can power all of the developing world at Western energy levels with renewable energy. Our GDP is increasing even as the amount of primary energy per person decreases. It's no longer the 1970s and a lot of assumptions from then have been proven to be very very wrong.

You're right that ketogenic diets don't have to be meat-centric. This is why I promote the carnivore diet and not the ketogenic diet.

Not all of the resources I pointed you to are about ketogenic diets, though -- some are about carnivore diets. For instance, there are the books of Vilhjalmur Stefansson who lived for years on a meat-only diet and was monitored at Harvard while on this diet.

Nina Teicholz also provides a phenomenal tour of the literature and demonstrates that a lot of the science does in fact support a carnivore diet. You should look up some of her phenomenal lectures on YouTube, or read her book The Big Fat Surprise: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Fat-Surprise-Butter-Healthy/dp/14...

This didn't age very well. Especially the part celebrating "over-engineering" including the explicit duplication of code, instead of re-use, since that is "risky".

I do however like the strong emphasis on (manual) testing.
>it doesn't address the initial problem of finding a problem that a company needs solved and will pay for, but wouldn't solve themselves internally.

Duh. If a general way to find such problems existed, everybody would be using it - meaning every problem would already have people on it. Which means no problems for you.

Welcome to the market.
> If it never occurs how can it travel back in time?

This is the entire premise of the law taking into account intent. If you shoot at someone in an attempt to kill them but miss, you're still going to jail.

> If I had planned to kill the speaker if they didn't do the action, but didn't tell them (and they don't have an expectation that I would kill them) - then they killed the person, would I not be responsible

In that case your intention to kill them if they didn't do it wouldn't have been the cause of them doing it (they did it without even knowing about it), so why would you be?

Their being aware of it is necessary to cause them to do it, but it isn't the part which is the root cause of the harm. It's like calling a prohibition on knowingly transferring weapons to terrorists a free speech violation because you have to call the weapons depot and tell them to ship the weapons in order to cause it to happen. The speech isn't the thing being prohibited, it's the action. The fact that the speech is necessary to cause it to happen isn't a restriction on speech, because the speech isn't sufficient to cause it to happen -- it has to be combined with some business arrangement with the weapons depot in which you e.g. pay them for the weapons they're shipping, or it doesn't happen. And it's that part which is the crime.

> It seems that the key action here that causes this "travel back in time" effect is speech and the expectations it produces.

Separate them into two different parties and see what happens.

Osama bin Laden offers a million dollars to anyone who kills a US soldier. CNN reports this fact. Someone hears it from CNN and commits the murder in order to collect the money. Is it CNN or Osama bin Laden who is guilty of the crime?
