It is hard. Without a common background (raised with similar upbringing, same religions), your implicit rules can diverge greatly with the others. Not to mention born in different era will play a big role in this. Some people simply don't grow with the changing time.

That's why it is more favorable in today's environment to have explicit rules like CoC. At least it brings people to the same understanding quicker.

It does carry risk though. When living in a world with more explicit rules, people tend to treat anything not in the rule to be OK, and ignore most implicit rules. That will rush more rules to be explicit, also, written poorly without broader debates and discussions during these rushes.
Wherever you go, there you are.

If we as a species can't successfully fulfil our caretaker role on the one planet we currently occupy, expansion would be happening with the wrong motivations and the end result will be perpetuating the same patterns of harm on an even larger scale.

Article chooses to frame the question in an American political context which reduces a wide philosophical issue worthy of discussion to a narrow partisan hack piece that only feeds petty argument and division. The USA doesn't have a monopoly on space exploration, so should we/shouldn't we hand wringing is irrelevant.
Because some people hundreds and thousands of years ago drew it like that on maps, and people kept doing it that way for cross-compatibility reasons, and now it's a convention.
It's such a strange dichotomy. On one hand, software engineers command healthy salaries, have massive power to decide where they work, and are in high demand everywhere. They get perks up the wazoo. On the other hand, when it comes to agency over what they work on, all of a sudden they claim their power is totally gone. "Whelp, if the boss tells me to write malware or cheat at a benchmark, I guess I just have to put my head down and do it! Poor me, nothin' I can do about it. Don't blame me, not my fault, everyone!"
Hasn't apologized, but has admitted that the reason Americans were initially discouraged from using them is because there was a shortage. From a Fauci interview with The Street:

“We were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply,” Fauci told The Street. "We wanted to make sure the people, namely, the healthcare workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in harm's way to take care of people who you know were infected with coronavirus, and the danger of them getting infected. We did not want them to be without the equipment they needed."

>I've posted this before, but I see terraforming other planets as a necessary step to learn how to take care of the Earth.

This thinking seems backwards. How can we learn to take a totally dead planet and make it living when we can't even figure out how to keep this one healthy?
>I'm reading a lot of comments here saying that CoCs are categorically bad. Which absolutely isn't what Jeremy is saying in this post, in fact he says just the opposite.

Him talking about supports a code of conduct was like listening to a shooting victim talking about how they support gun rights. It's like walking into his hospital room, him sitting up, and instantly going into a monologue about how the 2nd amendment protects us from tyranny. It reminds one of the the "Leopards eating faces" meme. If this post sold a code of conduct as a way to fight back against trumped up charges by being able to compare your behavior to stated rules, and expose arbitrariness, I think he might have actually made code of conducts sound like a great thing. Yet instead be defended CoC's by questioning the character of their critics with the line

>the anti-CoC crowd might jump on this as an example of problems with codes of conduct more generally, or might point at this as part of “cancel culture” (a concept I vehemently disagree with, since what is referred to as “cancellation” is often just “facing consequences”).

That's just such a bizarre and weird response given he did literally get cancelled regardless of if he likes it or not and is making a post arguing he's not just "facing consequences". He's like the person in the welfare lineup who thinks everybody around him is a lazy bum.

Columbus had a hard time finding anyone to fund his idea of traveling west to seek India until the new monarchs in Spain decided it was cheap enough to risk and he found a whole new land mass (sadly to loot). People have always taken risks and gone to new places and found things not imagined by others. Space will be no different; the only difference is we already know a lot about it.

Yes, but we don't live in radiation-hardened bunkers on Earth. The effect of a Martian environment on Earth would be billions of deaths and the total collapse of society.

The effect of the Martian environment on Mars is...people have to wear space suits.

One is a normal state of affairs, and the other is a cataclysmic event that society is not prepared to survive.

Sorry, but this is like saying "if you're 30+ years old you should have a large network of friends and family and not feel lonely". It does little to solve the problem of people who lack such networks to remind them that they do.

I think investing in space exploration improves some people's ability to face climate change on our planet. It's hard to see a scenario where everyone in the world would benefit from it, given the incredible advancement of private space flight. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing what those companies have been able to accomplish. But we can't pretend like the entirety of humanity benefits from it when access to that kind of technology is restricted to those with obscene amounts of wealth.
This was my thought too. If 1/89 in base 10 works, and 89 in the 10th unique term of the series

> 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,...

then does 1/144 work in base 11, and 1/233 in base 12?

Assuming we of course translate the base-10 number 144 to the appropriate base-11 number (121) first. I'm too bad at math to do this anymore, maybe someone else can tell us ;)
I don't think the sans culotte were part of the wealthy classes...doesn't it translate to something like, "without fancy pants"?

Alternately: we can't even stop the anti-terraforming transformation of our own planet into an unlivable hellhole, despite the tremendous benefits of doing so, so why would anyone think we could possibly spend enough money to terraform a planet a zillion miles away that is inherently hostile to human life and where there is no financial benefit to doing so?

You would think Trump & Company could capitalize on "This Earth First".

Technology has a cost in that people expect to be paid for their participation in the sector. Economies built on "defense" have huge technology capital in terms of knowledge and skill workers. This begs existential questions on the goals of productivity shared as nations and humans.

Tangentially, if the captains of Space really believed in life on mars or the moon, why aren't terraforming efforts being undertaken as center peices to the master plans to inhabit the moon or mars?

This looks really useful! I have two questions:

1) What's the process to integrate this into an existing application?

2) I'm curious about your choice of branding. Your website & logo looks really clean -- was there anything in particular you guys discussed when deciding on brand colors, design of logo, and overall look & feel of your product?
I'm not sure why you are forcing a choice between the two. People can be against spending on both NASA and the military. Also NASA isn't completely separate from the military industrial complex.
No. Just as Amazon and eBay maintain that your transaction is with the third-party seller, not them, Grubhub claim that your transaction is with the restaurant, and the restaurant is responsible for problems. Except when the restaurant didn't subcontract them, but they don't mention this. They can't have it both ways.

This is a great point. Maybe it would be more in line with the facts to say that elite overproduction was "a contributing factor to the famines of 1300-1350 and the wars of 1350-1400".

That doesn't seem to line up well with Turchin's secular cycle theory, though: 1300 is supposed to be the peak of the "integrative phase" and 1400 is supposed to be the trough of the "disintegrative phase". In fact, many of the "disintegrative phase" events happen well before 1350 (the Great Famine of 1315-1317, the Shepherds' Crusade of 1320, the Flemish peasant revolts of 1323) and many of the events that happened after 1350 could be explained more simply as effects of the Black Death.

To be fair to Turchin, I think his thesis is that overpopulation and elite overproduction happens first, which then leads to famine/scarcity decreasing the non-elite population, which finally leads to a later period of warfare that kills off the excess elites as they fight for shares of the smaller pie. But I think the claim that this process happens for all societies on a 200-year sine wave warrants some skepticism.
Gee who would have thought that a tax cut when we were already in debt and had a massive deficit BEFORE COVID would get worse with an economic downturn?

Even without a "lockdown" plenty of people are avoiding behavior that would put them at higher risks (i.e. air travel, sporting events, etc) that would effect the GDP.

FYI We never had a real nationwide lockdown, like what Italy did in March.

> In fact, all of the Prime Video content that Plaintiff has ever purchased remains available.

It's interesting how much this admission from Amazon says about the particular user. A few members of my family - and several friends - have all purchased Prime Video content that later became censored, subject to PR-fueled cancellations, or simply later had access restricted due to changing avails.

We have laws against revealing medical information about individuals, but to me it seems just as likely that content viewing history is also a strongly private thing which ought to be protected, too. Is there anything protecting people against this kind of stuff being revealed when a lawsuit is being litigated?
> I was concerned that if only partial information became available, the anti-CoC crowd might jump on this as an example of problems with codes of conduct more generally, or might point at this as part of “cancel culture” (a concept I vehemently disagree with, since what is referred to as “cancellation” is often just “facing consequences”)

haha... 'Everyone else who gets accused of some transgression and is afforded no due-process is in fact guilty and deserving of punishment. Mine is the unique case of an opaque and capricious CoC process being applied unjustly.'

I find it funny that this fellow personally experienced the injustice of being caught up in an unfair CoC enforcement process run by some petty tyrants†, but refuses to believe that this may happen to other people, that his case may not be a wild aberration but a predictable norm, given the system and culture. I wonder what it would it take for Jeremy to say "Maybe this process has fundamental problems. Maybe a lot of the other people who have been burned by this have also been treated unfairly."

If someone can keep the faith even when they personally experience the injustice of a system like this, I don't what would change their mind.

† according to his account. As jpeloquin notes ITT, little is known to us third parties about the facts of the case.
What a garbage argument. We can do both. We can look outside Earth, and take care of what we have. There is no reason we can't do both, so let's do both.
I doubt the person you are replying to is suggesting that full scale terraforming is possible in a fraction of a million years. But perhaps smaller scale insightful experiments might be done without fear of wiping out life in our solar system.

I was thinking about this too.

I think the main reason you'd want to use Nhost instead of Firebase is for the tech we use. Mainly Postgres and GraphQL and how we got all services (database, api, auth, storage) working together very nicely, just like Firebase.
Firebase is a whole suite of tools/services for building online apps. These apps can do things, like talk to a database.

Cloud Firestore is a nosql database offering on Firebase. Cloud SQL Postgres is a database offering on GCP.

Firebase Cloud Functions (FCF) are 'serverless functions'. You upload some code that looks like an Express app. I personally use the npm package 'apollo-server-cloud-functions' to provide Apollo Server GraphQL endpoints using 'type-graphql'. If you do it right, there is very little vendor lockin. I theoretically could use this same code on Nhost.

Since it is all Google, Firebase can 'talk' to anything on GCP. Thus, my FCF can use 'mikro-orm' to talk to my cloud sql postgres database.

I know, a lot of names... but once you wrap your head around it all, it starts to get a bit easier. The nice thing about all of this is that I get one small usage based bill every month and it just magically runs without any devops or thought on my part.
The notion of "focusing on business problems" is - in my opinion - the absolutely correct answer.

Coders will jump through technical interview questions. Business people with great coding experience will say "I will solve your business problem."

Those limitations existed since before the computer time, when the copyright law was passed. For example, even you own a book, there are certain things you can not do, like duplicate it and sell copies.

In case of software, here is how the law works [0]

> When you make a creative work (which includes code), the work is under exclusive copyright by default. Unless you include a license that specifies otherwise, nobody else can copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation.

There are "fair use" terms, which allow some things without permissions -- but things like "copying the binary to company-internal repo so CI runners can pick it" really need explicit permissions if you want to be above the board.

Not only can we do both, but there is significant overlap.

To give two examples among many:

SpaceX's next major goal after making Starship capable of flying to Mars is to develop the infrastructure to refuel Starship on Mars. They plan to manufacture their fuel using the Sabatier process, which is also a form of carbon sequestration.

Research and development into Martian food production pushes the envelope in many agricultural research areas like vertical farming, high efficiency production with few inputs, et cetera.

It's good to think that we should be able to leave Earth at some point. The problem is not that line of thinking.

There are other alternatives as well. For example, Rust uses a Result tagged union. You can also shorthand it using the ? operator, which does the same as the if err != nil { return nil, err; } but without all the boilerplate. There are some inconveniences, like needing to specify the error type by hand, but overall the amount of code is far smaller, it is a lot harder to mess up return types, yet it remains equally explicit in forcing you to handle every error, which is something that Go doesn't do.

Unfortunately the correct answer is #3.

The US has peculiar way to report quarterly GDP growth rates that is different from what I'm used here in EU. In the US official reports comes from BEA. They use quarter-on-quarter growth rate expressed on an annual basis.

Quater-on-quater growth rate QonQ = (Q4-Q3)/Q3 (they use real rate that is inflation adjusted). Then they convert it into annual basis so that reported rate is (1+QonQ)^4 -1

In other words, the GDP grew 7.4% inflation adjusted from the last quarter.

We log probably from 30+ services, plus third party apps. Standardizing on a schema is to some extent possible (but hard to actually enforce and test; many of our services are written in JS/TS, not Go), but not for third-party apps.

Could one set up FileBeat or whatever to ingest into separate indexes based on some source label? Most of our logs are streamed from Kubernetes, so there is an application label we could use. Elasticsearch is pretty good at unioning a single query over multiple indexes.

But it'd have to be an automatic mapping — I wouldn't want the ops team to have to maintain a mapping between apps and indexes that could (would!) get out of sync.
