Well, you could take the position that not flying in all those politicians to sign the accord (and all the other resources the accord used) would have effectively done more than the accord itself, given that the resulting policies were self-imposed and could have been enacted without the international accord.
It's not "half the country". In a recent Fox news (yes, those Fox news...) poll, they found that 72% of people were either "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about climate change.

What is true that none of the presidential candidates is taking the crisis seriously: Trump denies it, Biden pays a bit of lip service to it but has done very little about it with Obama, and will probably not do much about it if elected.
Why is it committed by nat himself? I assume it's a tease of github source code being open sourced similar to GitLab?
It's not exactly that the back button doesn't work. It's because for some reason they seem to be redirecting in some weird non-HTTP way from their `.co.uk` domain to their `.com`, even though you already got a complete `200` response from `.co.uk`.

As a result, clicking the back button only once from the `.com` takes you to the `.co.uk`, which redirects you back to the `.com`. Clicking twice, or if you follow the `.com` link in the first place, does not affect the back button in any way.

The world is awash in bull
A free course on critical thinking and healthy skepticism.

"The world is awash in bull. Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Higher education rewards bull over analytic thought. Startup culture elevates bull to high art. Advertisers wink conspiratorially and invite us to join them in seeing through all the bull — and take advantage of our lowered guard to bombard us with bull of the second order. The majority of administrative activity, whether in private business or the public sphere, seems to be little more than a sophisticated exercise in the combinatorial reassembly of bull.

We're sick of it. It's time to do something, and as educators, one constructive thing we know how to do is to teach people. So, the aim of this course is to help students navigate the bull-rich modern environment by identifying bull, seeing through it, and combating it with effective analysis and argument."
They exist. They are just not scaled up yet. Scaling is not tricial though, as hardware and real world is involved.
In the Scala 2.x this can be done with an implicit class.

It's a bit cumbersome and not very use-case oriented (mechanism over intention) and so Scala 3 has introduced extension methods[0].

This gives you exactly what you want.

Since Scala 3 is pretty much completely backwards compatible (and with the use of Tasty you can use Scala 3 code in Scala 2.x projects), so I don't see the migration as a big problem. The Scala team has spent a lot of work to make the transition as painless as possible.

Wow. I would have guessed mid-30s from the video?
Energy & emissions are complex to account for. I don’t know too much about the US but in France we had quite good results in term of reductions.

But where do they come from? From the optimisation of our energy consumption? Or from the relocation of some of our companies abroad?
It "backfires" because people post a small number of mp3 files on github that will promptly taken down? We did it reddit, the DMCA is no more!

What a silly headline.

If you want to actually something that will matter then make sure that github doesn't become a single point of failure for FLOSS software in the future. Or get your GH account banned by posting Lady Gaga tracks in your repos, you do you.
Why would you care about fooling surveillance? The goal is to prevent a potential adversary from getting any video/audio footage, them being aware of you actively blocking any attempts is not really relevant.

Besides, the vast majority of users will not be under active attack. Having an on-screen popup when you try to use the webcam telling you that it has been hardware-disabled is quite a must-have. If you don't have something like this, you'll get a lot of support calls which boil down to "you accidentally pressed the kill switch, press it again to re-enable".
The "we can't possibly write good laws" attitude is, IMO, a significant part of why we don't write good laws in the US.

I will take your bet. No way full self-driving is coming and no way Waymo will deliver a self-driving taxi in 5 years that will compete with a driver based taxi. I can see Waymo or the like picking gimmicky routes like Las Vegas airport to select hotels/stops or another easy route in an area without rain.

I don't mean the self-driving meaning that keeps getting reinvented every couple years to kick the can down the road. I mean the car is driving itself without a driver or remote driver in the majority of circumstances such as a rainstorm.
Representative or indirect democracy allows much of the same with politicians who largely aren't held accountable by voters and don't seem to care about their actions on others. All we seem to do is shift the blame to someone with more moral flexibility while also losing power in the process. And our representatives are now selling our power to the highest bidder. At the same time, representative democracies at least help protect minorities against lynch mobs and group think a bit but that's far from guaranteed.

I'm not convinced which system is better or not, personally, or if a better system can exist.
>The risk isn't the US doing nothing, it is India, Africa, etc, etc deciding that they seriously want a comfortable standard of living.

>4 more years of inaction from the government of one of the biggest polluters in the world will really bite us in the ass.

But that's not the case. America is reducing its emissions greatly by shifting from coal to natural gas (which mirrors what Germany is doing, for example). Coal is ostensibly dead in US. If you look at the charts from Wikipedia [1][2], you'll see the US has cut emissions at about the same rate (or faster) than Europe. That trend will continue. So what will Paris actually do in practical terms?

The problem is that after transitioning away from coal, there isn't a clear answer about the next step. Renewables are not a panacea and may never be able to power a modern economy as they will probably always require fossil fuel baseload ... not to mention that because renewables are a diffuse energy source, they require HUGE land areas which makes no different for CO2 emissions, but makes a huge difference for environmental collapse.

Yes, but it’s technically not a country: https://www.freeprivatecities.com

If you haven’t noticed, all territory on the earth is already claimed by a country or agreed to be off-limits by the major powers.

To start a country you would need to engage in war, or get a country to cede it’s territory.

I wonder... Has there ever been an army funded by venture capital?
I don’t exactly understand argument about frame rates, I thought these GUIs ran at very high frame rates and 1 frame wouldn’t be perceptible by humans. Is there really a human perceptible significant latency with them?
I totally agree. Also, I am worried that the current tri-poly is a stable local maximum: it now requires huge resources to create a new computing environment (as in, combination of hardware and software) that could compete with any of the currently available ones.

This is sad for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that the current offerings are all unsatisfactory.
Sounds to me like what you heard could be easily proven/disproven by reading some studies.

> The optimal strategy to combat Global Warming is to bring manufacturing back to the EU and US and regulate emissions strongly.

But how? The manufacturing that went overseas did so for cost reasons. If you make it even more expensive then there is even less incentive to have it here. Dismantling the economies of the east from afar is not an option for a ton of reasons.
Might be an interesting add to a resume/cv for a security related job.
>coal to natural gas

Fossil fuel to .. fossil fuel. Sigh.
"We want" here is a figure of speech. The world doesn't actually care if you don't want other people to live as comfortably as you, because it's gonna happen either way, no country in the world is going to stop pursuing a better quality of life. The real question here is "do we want to figure this out, or do we look the other way".
Could you summarize please? I watched that interview and didn't get much out of it, since I perceive R. Patrick as a sensationalist - magic ice baths, magic saunas, magic grape chemicals, etc.
Right? Surely it is the responsibility of the already developed nations to solve this crisis. Putting the blame on developing nations for daring to live the same way we do is... pretty ridiculous.
Well, after the disaster at Fukushima, we started phasing out nuclear power. It was replaced by renewables. (This was super-stupid since we have a stable government, no enemies close by and basically no natural disasters [0] that would threaten our power plants.) We should have shut down coal plants instead but dwelling on what we should have done does not help. The bright side of this is that our emissions are decreasing despite still running coal plants. Once we shut these down, they will drop even more and this hopefully as early as possible. I hope it is going happen because of economic reasons, i.e. when coal becomes too expensive compared to other sources of energy because that would mean it would already happen before the scheduled phase-out.

[0] If you are from elsewhere in the world, it might be hard to imagine how few threats of natural disasters we have in central Europe: there are basically no earthquakes, no tsunamis, no bush fires, no (real) hurricans (we call them 'storms'), no real tornadoes (it is such a rare thing that it usually makes it to national news if there is one), no (terrible) floods (well, every few decades there is a large flood somewhere here but that's it).

> The Dell privacy driver sent out on Tuesday for the Linux kernel is about manipulating the relevant LEDs and tracking the status of the hardware-based controls where as the actual toggling of the audio/video support is handled by the hardware.

This is incorrectly designed: the LEDs must be hardware-driven, not software driven. Otherwise malicious software could turn off the LED when the camera and microphone are running.
As noted elsewhere on the thread, it's originally a Hitchhiker's Guide joke, a description of humans. It was also used as the title for one of the later books in the series.

I wouldn't discount your explanation, but Rhinehart pulled that name from a very popular source.
I'd be much more receptive to these "the Paris Agreement wasn't even that strong to begin with" if an alternative was being proposed. But the alternative that the Trump administration is choosing is to attack scientists and deny the problem in the first place.
There are literally 4 sentences in the article before the answer is introduced, I don't think a TLDR is warranted...
The most exciting part of the Raspberry Pi to me isn't the current hardware, but what they'll do next for $35. The different ram models in the Pi 4 are great too. As soon as we get a "Pi 500" in a future generation with the 8GB model, I think we can officially replace computers for browser-only users with one of these (especially if the graphics hardware improves for videos).

Even now, I wonder if this would be fine for someone who just uses Facebook, email, and YouTube. Maybe a bit of lag here and there, but I'd imagine this would do the trick, right?
He looks reasonably young for his age but that could very well be genetics as much as sensible living or following his research; though I didn't watch the video far enough to see if there are reasons that is unlikely.
Black electrical tape works wonders. I have applied it copiously. With some care on many devices it can be applied invisibly, and it can be removed if you need the led.

Outdoors, I've made all my lights activated by motion and door-opening sensors, and have been transitioning to light with less splash. E.g. 592nm LED strip placed 2ft over the ground pointed downwards along walkways, so they only light up the walk way and just provide enough light to see clearly and safely... instead of floods.

I find it so much nicer to not have my night vision blown out by my own lights.
> You specifically mentioned electric cars in the US, of which Tesla is the largest producer

I said "So if US goes all electric car, China would follow suit, etc."

I didn't say if a single company in US goes electric car, China would follow suit.

I quantified it as "all/most" not "exists".

> What examples do you have of green tech exported from China that has found widespread adoption in China?

Not green tech specifically, but most tech exported from China is also present locally in China.
I think the only thing we have confidence about health wise is "sleep enough, do cardio, do low-impact weight-lifting in moderation, don't eat sugar, don't expose yourself to known toxins, don't go out in the sun in the middle of the day without sunblock, use your mind" That's about it.
Nice. Looking forward to start using all the 'intention over mechanism' features that Dotty introduced.
Banking, insurance, and telecom are all protected from foreign competition. It makes them fat and often lazy, but I’d hardly say there is no reason. Universal service mandates, tax administration, prudence regulation, and criminal justice are all compelling interests in those businesses. The government meddles because the people complain when they don’t.
>France we had quite good results in term of reductions.

France has the benefit of large-scale nuclear power. Any given day, my home province of Ontario, is at around 85%-95% fossil-fuel-free emissions because of nuclear and hydro [1]. If instead we decided to go with solar and wind, then we'd be waiting until 2060 to cut CO2 emissions and burning much more natural gas until then ... just like Germany.

[1] https://live.gridwatch.ca/home-page.html
> China [...] world's fastest growing CO2 emitter

This is not true. From 2001 to 2011 China almost tripled their emissions, but after 2011 they haven't grown almost at all. It's stable. Maybe you haven't looked at the data in the past 10 years?

https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/china?country=~CHN
Take a look at Canada, it's even higher. That should provides clues.
Also have the 477. Print quality and speed is great for my use. Scanning-to-file over the network... refuses to work. I'm forced to use the USB thumb drive for that. It also seems to forget it's network connection if it sleeps for too long. The single-page feeder on the top is also very fussy... but I don't use it much.
>They should rather do a physical switch that would 0 the data lines from these devices,

What exactly do you expect that to accomplish. Anyone actively targeting you getting literally NO SOUND OR VIDEO is going to know that you've flipped the switch just the same.

Even the quietest apartment has HVAC that will be picked up. If they're recording for hours they're going to hear people walking by. The camera itself will still provide an image, even if it's black, that looks different than no signal at all.
Unfortunately, with open (or even just somehow permeable) borders, any noticeable delta in lifestyle would just be gobbled up by slow population displacement from shamelessly breeding places. There at no panacea solutions. I envy those born a decade earlier and pity those born a decade later.
Of course, general purpose languages have their limits and I'm not arguing that Scala can do everything. But it certainly can do a lot more than Rust (and its C/C++ interop) at the moment.

And I have no problem with the JVM interop. As long as you don't try to write Scala libraries that need to be consumed by Java applications, everything just works really.

Good. The users and the drivers both wanted this.

You may dislike hearing this, but it takes a lot to inject yourself into that arrangement and massively increase the cost because you want it done differently.

I recognise that it appears to create "rules for thee but not for me" for these companies, but when they are so thoroughly satisfying both their customers and their workers, you should ask yourself if forcing them into the existing regulatory framework is the right equilibrium to shoot for.

Capitalism isn't a system, it's a tool applicable within a system.

And it's not an individual business thing. Capitalism is amoral (note: not immoral), with a value function. If in a scenario it behaves what we consider "badly", we provide incentives to skew that value function towards what our society wants. For example through taxes or subsidies.
What do you think Germany is doing? They are going from fossil-fuel-free (nuclear) -> fossil-fuel (Russian natural gas).
Regarding the example in your first point, you are still sending a reference `m` of the map. If you wanted to send an immutable type, you could declare the channel to only accept struct values (and not pointers to structs) and you'll get your desired behavior.

However, Xi Jinping very publicly announced that net zero by 2060 is now a national aim, which is basically what is needed from china on this issue: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-54256826

There is a question of follow through as they are still building new coal power plants, but China is making noises that its going commit to changing. The US is not a leader on this issue any more.

i figured out that first midwest bank used to let me transfer money from a shared parent account to my own account. the money was mine, I was just supposed to get their permission first. if I tried to transfer money between the accounts at the bank in person they would stop me. I just edited the html of the transfer form and it went through without checking. I never bothered telling that or trying an account number that wasn’t mine though. they use a different system now.
Next step is to reduce energy consumption. It's so obvious I wonder why it isn't talked about more. I'm not saying it's easy. We either choose to reduce energy consumption, or the consequences of climate change will force us to do it. The difference is in the first case, we have more control over it, and it might cause less human suffering.
it certainly does bot require a fossil fuel base load, and thank goodness because that won’t be affordable forever

Isn't that exactly what government incentives are for? Subsidize the thing you want to see succeed, until it no longer needs subsidizing.

Of course, that is the ideal success scenario, in the failure scenario, you subsidize the thing until it fails, or until you can no longer afford to subsidize it.

The best way to teach critical thinking is by example. Problem is that the minute you question the mainstream narrative on anything, you get labeled a conspiracy theorist. If you don't have a healthy environment for critical thinking, critical thinking will not be practiced.
