Famines drastically reduced because of modern agriculture, which is dependent on fossil fuels at all stages of food production.

Quality and length of life increased, again, primarily because of modern agriculture, with vaccination and obstetrics as a second and third factor.

Wealth inequality is up because of the unimaginably vast amount of wealth available, which has disproportionately accumulated at the very top. Poverty, as measured in simple material terms, has never been lower, except in the absolute sense that, again due to modern agriculture, we're able to sustain such a vastly greater population.

How to solve the climate crisis, without a massive dieoff and collapse to a pre-industrial standard of living, must always be the question. Remember that it's always an option, and that cure would be worse than the disease.
They're just that good ;)
It may feel radical, but to me if feels "too little too late"
Yeah this is what I was looking for. Without some kind of health insurance no amount of money is enough to retire.
No. Liquid H2 is incredibly fluffy. You get more H's (and crackable bonds) in hydrocarbons, as elsewhere discussed.
Sort of? AFAIU, according to the Coase theorem the courts should never have needed to be involved. Indeed, the rule prohibiting relief for those coming to the nuisance is designed to prevent people from using the courts as an end run around bargaining with the nuisance owner. The characterization of the judgment as achieving global optimality using transfer payments brings to mind Kaldor–Hicks.

Here's an interesting paper that discusses the case's relationship to the Coase theorem: Coming to the Nuisance: An Economic Analysis from an Incomplete Contracts Perspective, https://www.dartmouth.edu/~csnyder/491.pdf
Stacking is a bad idea, but the GOP would do it if they controlled both chambers of Congress and the White House. The GOP of the 1940s is not the GOP today. That political party is gone off the rails. The last time they were fiscally responsible, Eisenhower was in the White House.

The Supreme Court does need to be expanded though. It hears half the cases it did fifty years ago. While they are at it, split the Ninth Circuit. Give California its own circuit since the majority cases originate from that state.
But will you pay for a service where this won't happen?
It takes someone young to be this ignorant. The emissions of modern car engines are truly negligible. And air quality used to be really horrible.

Modern electronic engine controls have slashed emissions so effectively that the exhaust of a modern car running there is actually be cleaner than the ambient air of that time - Yes, a modern car running in LA in that era would actually be cleaning the air!

If you want to clean up the air, go after all those Chinese container ships burning bunker oil that is literally one step up from tar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil

Fixing these filthy ships would make orders of magnitude more difference than eliminating all fossil-fueled cars from the road.
> I run a YouTube channel that is over 10 years old, has over 770,000 subscribers, almost 600 public videos, 120,000,000 views

When writing software involved in managing a live, public, massively multi-user system, the traditional unix-style commands that are immediate, often silent, and capable of damaging effects become a really easy way to shoot yourself in the foot. Worse, some commands might let you accidentally shoot everyone's foot on a typo. The traditional example is accidentally typing something like "rm -f * .bak" (note the extra space after the star).

For a good discussion of this type of problem, I highly recommend Bryan Cantrill's talk[1] about the time an operator accidentally rebooted an entire datacenter with a single miss-typed command.

The general solution to this is building sanity checks into the software. The user just asked to reformat 500 hosts, but almost all previous uses olf the 'reformat' command affected less than 10 hosts. Maybe we should ask for verification from an actual human if they really intended to run this unusually destructive command.

Why doesn't YouTube have this kind of sanity check in their automated takedown/strike/channel-deletion tools? Google wrote automation that can decide to delete a channel with a long history and many successful videos. Why doesn't that automation have basic sanity checks that ask for operator input when asked to do an unusually destructive action like deleting a 10 year old channel with a huge history?

Many construction vehicles use hydraulic motivation. The Diesel engine is only there to pressurize the hydraulic system. There’s no reason you can’t use an electric motor to motivate (The pumps inside) those vehicles, they don’t directly use the diesel output as they are built today.
Yes, if that's what it takes.

Flip it around: Imagine you have a tattoo. You're publishing the one tattoo therefore "free speech" means you have to publish all the tattoos? Should you be obliged to allow a big "Kick whites out of America" tattoo next to whatever tattoo you have chosen to wear?
No, the rest was fine. My channel was all original music that I own the rights to. No clue why.
prepaying doesn't really solve the problem, it merely delays it. you need to set a reminder or something.
I have the same problem, so I just save English UI as bookmark/search engine and start from there.

It would prioritize English result.

I actually have three languages of Google on my bookmark bar precisely because of this, and they work like a charm.
If this is related to a DMCA notification, shouldn't YouTube removing the (alleged) video that violates the law, and not delete the whole channel?

I guess that's how Google's index works, they remove indexed results, but not the whole index.
It's honestly so weird to read comments like this that presume no one else has ever realized before that the sun sets every night. I would guess that the California power regulators actually do know this and have plans for it.

There's a difference. If someone manually claims a video through YT's content-ID system, they have to provide timestamps (this is enforced by Google).

If someone just sends a regular DMCA notice, they're only required (by law) to provide the URL, and Google has no choice but to take down everything at that URL, until/unless they receive a counter-claim from the poster.

The content-ID stuff is a convenience outside the law, if content owners (who have access to it) choose to use it. Anyone can file a DMCA notice, and Google has to respond in a particular way in order to be compliant with the law, and cannot impose extra requirements (like timestamps) before acting on the DMCA claim.

Then stick with ZFS.
This year problems also was not caused by Climate Change (at least not the primary cause) but rather decades and decades of Poor forest management and poor infrastructure maintenance which has nothing to do with eliminating gas burning cars.

Even if you reverse all carbon output today, if you do not change the forest management you will still have massive fires, and if you do not improve infrastructure maintenance you are still going to have brown outs and black outs in summer

I don't understand, maybe I'm misinterpreting your position.

Based solely on the scale of the problems yourself presented, you must surely agree that (mega)engineering is the most factible solution in terms of time. Greening the desert might be the best idea but the scale certainly sounds right.
The channel got 5 DMCA strikes, that is why btw. Title is somewhat disingenuous.
Let me also add a counter-point to my own point:

Google is subject to an absolute metric crapton of abuse. With a revenue stream that massive and warchest that huge, they are a constant target for scammers the world over. It's a total warzone out there, not just in terms of cybersecurity but also in terms of fraud and abuse. If you think Nigerian prince scams are bad, just put some serious (nefarious) brainpower behind that and huge botnets, clickfarms, payment fraud, stolen credit cards, identity fraud, the whole mess. There are literally tens of thousands of criminals out there trying to cash out in big and small ways every single second of every day. With little to no global prosecution of cybercrimes, Google has no recourse but to clam up when they sense a threat. So they are kind of within their rights to be so aggressively defensive.

The catch is the scale of this problem is so massive it absolutely must be automated. Responses have to be lightning quick to respond to scams at the speed of light. Risk analysis constantly charts the potential for lost revenue vs associating with fraud risks.

But counter-point to my own counter-point. That's really no excuse for being so unresponsive to actual users. Scaling to a billion users worldwide, everything a moonshot--this mindset underlies all of their failings. The thinking within Google is too focused on scaling up and Larry's mantra of "focus on the user and all else will follow" is complete doublethink, because Google fails at this so, so horribly.
It automatically renews, it's not like I need to be reminded, but they email you anyway.

How does that work? You run your propellor in reverse like a wind turbine?

This doesn't sound completely ridiculous but is there even any proof of concept for that? The gravitational potential energy doesn't seem all that high - most airplane fuel is burnt maintaining height, not gaining it - to justify the complexity of recovering some small fraction of it. Still, I once thought the same about regenerative braking in electric cars.

Tell that to the people facing 5-digit battery replacement bills at mileages that are far short of what a good ICE car or truck can deliver. (I know several people here in Texas with old pickups that have 300-400K miles on them. One has only changed the oil and replaced accessories like alternators and pumps.)
France's efforts to come up with a new fleet to replace their current aging fleet have not been successful, they have had as much trouble as the US. They may be able to modify the EPR... but ever year that they fail to have a new more buildable design is another year that renewables and storage get cheaper while nuclear stays the same price or increases in price.

I think if you want to bring up a nuclear success story, Canada would be far better. Their CANDU has been really successful, and they haven't yet tried to build a new generation of reactors so they haven't yet failed.
This is a common myth based on a misunderstanding of scale in the original facts. Yes, the atmosphere will blow away, but it takes millions of years.

As humans, we only have to top it off every hundred thousand years or so.

That is more of a cost matrix, if CA demands a label on a product it is too costly to just make a CA only package so manufacturers will inform the entire nation that to the State of CA everything under the sun causes cancer....

However if you start outlawing entire segments of a product that does not mean that Ford is going to stop making Gas powered F150 that 49 other states Love, they will just stop selling them in CA and many CA Truck owners will drive to NV to buy one. I have a feeling the border will have a Nice Big Truck Dealership in short order

We already see that in some markets where for example my Tractor can not be sold in CA, but I bought it just fine in my state
With vehicle, heating, rocket, or aviation applications, quantities involved are nontrivial. Hydrogen's flammable and explosive ratios with oxygen are large, and contrast starkly with other fuels; kerosene (jet/rocket fuel), bunker oil, and deisel, which ignite with difficulty, petrol, which ignites readily but not explosively, and even natural gas which deflagrates rather than explodes under most circumstances.

Add in hydrogen's extreme tendency to leak, metal embrittlement, and high pressures and/or low temperatures, and the risks are immense. Particularly at scale, in widespread use, with poor maintenance and inspections.
In my experience, I have found learning Korean more difficult than Chinese/Japanese. I've lived and studied in China to provide some background. My difficulty in Korean stems from the nuance of how the characters interact with each other in terms of pronunciation and grammar. Still interesting nonetheless, each person holds their own perspective on how challenging a language can be to learn.
I don't consider myself a FIRE enthusiast, but one thing I've noticed is that people who work a lot often don't "have time" to pay attention to their health. Once you hit about 40, I see a very sharp divergence in health outcomes.

In other words, some 40 year olds are indistinguishable from 30 year olds. Others have all sorts of minor chronic issues that pile up and lead to a miserable second half of life. Health and disease are "nonlinear" -- a health problem often snowballs into others.

Sleep seems to be a big one. Most people sleep poorly and don't know why. This leads to problems all the way up the chain, like heart issues and dental problems.

Diet is obviously another foundational issue. It's hard to eat well in many parts of America if you don't cook. Ordering from a restaurant every day is a way to eat too much salt, sugar, and fat. And yes I realize that lots of people are rolling their eyes at that.

It sounds like a minor issue until you compound it over 20 years. In other words, it's something you don't really care about in your 20's and 30's. But it catches up, and I recall reading a thread about "being old" on HN where lots of people mainly regret and are scared of health issues.

Exercise takes time too. I exercised 5+ days a week when working, but now I do it even more, and it's worth it.

You can obviously pay attention to your health and work at the same time, but I find that many people don't (e.g. in San Francisco).

Mozilla rolled them out really badly.

Pocket was quickly rammed through. Mozilla denied getting paid for the integration. That baffled people who would've understood if it was about money. Mozilla eventually admitted getting paid for referrals. That upset people who felt Mozilla had lied to them.

Sponsored tiles kicked off with marketing drivel about transforming the user's content experience.[1] Addressing users first and being more honest might have worked better.

The Mr. Robot promotion silently installed an add-on with a cryptic name. People thought they'd been hacked. Mozilla denied getting money for it too.

Mozilla treated users like resources instead of stakeholders and lost their trust.

Maybe we should've.
Yeah sometimes you don't realize just how good a job your boss is doing till they're gone. Then the dam breaks and all the shit starts flooding downhill.
I hope those alternatives had less neo-nazi stuff :(
Well, here's the thing: their actual opposition is not truly to _free speech_ per se, it's to particular ideas that they want to quash. Whether or not there's a legitimate reason to dissuade people from thinking about those ideas is a different question.
Mmhm. Do you own property?
Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on Bloom since they were still in stealth. It's neat and I believe their technology.

It seems to me like their fuel cell is designed to be a replacement for natural gas power plants and that it would better complement renewables than traditional fossil fuel use because it's probably extremely fast to respond to being turned up and down so it can follow unpredictable supplies. That's great!

Though to be fair, a combined cycle natural gas plant is also likely a lot more efficient than you are thinking, they're more like 50-60% than 30%. The gains may be very marginal... so maybe more for home use where if the electricity goes out maybe you still have gas (though in such an emergency I imagine you'd be more concerned with reliability than efficiency).

I can't really imagine these being used in cars, LNG does have infrastructure as you point out but if you think it's widespread I have to wonder where you live. In my life I've only ever seen LNG pumps in California and New Zealand. I think it heavily depends on what the country has kind of settled on as a standard fuel... but batteries are also 90% efficient at storing and releasing energy in temperate climates and I know solid oxide fuel cells tend to need to be super hot to get reasonable ionic conductivity don't they?

But also on the point of grid use, I should point out that the big difference between these fuel cells and a battery storage system is that these fuel cells as best I can see don't work in reverse. So you can't like take extra solar electricity and just run it backwards to make natural gas like you'd store power in a battery.

So I guess... within the error bars of the efficiency of a combined cycle natural gas plant and it can't store power? I hope it's cheap.
They're spinning this 'Major issue' faster than a blender could. Come on now.
Probably because you don't realize we have more housing than population in the US right now.
The thing is, Google has nothing to fear here. The DMCA -- as much as we generally think it's a poorly-thought-out law -- already handles this. There's no need for Google to do anything beyond handling DMCA notices in accordance with the law, but they've decided -- likely because it's better for business -- to cater to the needs of large rights holders at the expense of individuals.

As long as they handle DMCA notices as they're supposed to, they're not at all liable for the content posted on their platform (copyright-wise). But it's easier for them to provide a guilty-until-proven-innocent fast-track for their larger, trusted, monied rights holders.
