In a similar thread, I made a Python command line tool which tells you what chord you're playing---either on guitar, or on any other stringed instrument (with custom tunings too!).

This was an experimental, proof-of-concept project, but some of you here may enjoy it :)

I stopped reading when he described users of search as Google's customers.

There didn't seem any point in reading further after such a basic misstatement.

The point about marginal costs is absolutely wrong too, but I don't have the patience to pull it apart in detail.

The reality is there is a customer acquisition cost, it will be spread across multiple domains (technical, legal, financial, and even political) and I would be very surprised if Google believes it's zero.
Sure, programs get cut or funded based on various political considerations, and there might be cuts some years and growth other years. And there is a deliberate attempt to stymie provision of abortion services. That's a fair point.

But overall, education spending consistently goes up over time: https://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/fed/10facts/index.html#ch...

This is what CopperheadOS has become. Trading off the reputation they gained from before the split.

When they were still publishing their sources they were often lagging months behind with basic AOSP security updates. Still not updated to Android 11 yet, 2 months since it was launched, which, as they support Pixels, means they now have 3 monthly updates worth of device specific security patches that can't of been applied.

GrapheneOS moved to 11 in September, not so long after it was released by Google

The ocean pollution in the article is due to shipping plastic waste to other countries, who subsequently let it shed into the ocean.

Couldn't this problem be eliminated in a near instant by disallowing export of that low value plastic waste, and landfilling it in the US? It doesn't solve the oil / carbon problem, but neither does exporting it. It does solve the ocean pollution aspect pretty completely though.

I'm not saying it's the best solution, but it does seem like a stepping stone.

Our supply chain needs to be improved.

There are so many things that we can buy in bulk. Something like bringing your own container for hand soap that then gets filled up at a dispenser.

Even better, we could start regularly circulating certain deliveries at scheduled intervals. So every two months, a truck with all the soaps comes around to neighborhoods delivering to people that registered for a delivery on their app.

Attempting to educate stakeholders is part of your job. Forcing them to accept your reasoning may not be possible and they may have other reasons for their decisions that you may not know about or they may not wish to reveal (legal, marketing, internal politics, etc).

What you mentioned is just a side-effect bonus if you want to call it that.

> That’s because western leaders were more than happy to let China manufacture things ‘over there’ so we could wash our hands clean of the environmental damage

Just saying that's not the driver. Not even close. Demand for cheap goods was the driver for the West and the fact that Chinese policies teed up super cheap supply via their policies is the story.

So I don't think your comment isn't accurate. But it would be accurate if you said our western leaders were more than happy to keep the flow of cheap goods going because it was a favorable arrangement and it had a nice side effect of not having to deal with environmental cleanup or pushback.

If the cost of goods was the same in the west, the west would surely deal with environmental issues in exchange for the jobs and tax revenue.
But this concerns only western Europe, that is precisely the least religious part.

It depends on how similar the 'antigens' on the allergens are to antigens on SARS-CoV-2. They're probably not super similar, so they wouldn't help the immune system fight better. Instead, it might do something equally valuable in teaching the immune system to chill-out via increased diversity of Treg cells. It's a big deal in kids because they still have a thymus, and they're training a TON of Tcells.

https://www.immunology.org/public-information/bitesized-immu....

"As the name suggests regulatory T cells (also called Tregs) are T cells which have a role in regulating or suppressing other cells in the immune system. Tregs control the immune response to self and foreign particles (antigens) and help prevent autoimmune disease. Tregs produced by a normal thymus are termed ‘natural’. Treg formed by differentiation of naïve T cells outside the thymus, i.e. the periphery, or in cell culture are called ‘adaptive’."

In this case, it might be a matter of exposing the immune system to more pathogens so that it doesn't freak out when it sees them:

"In medicine, the hygiene hypothesis states that early childhood exposure to particular microorganisms (such as the gut flora and helminth parasites) protects against allergic diseases by contributing to the development of the immune system. In particular, a lack of exposure is thought to lead to defects in the establishment of immune tolerance. The time period for exposure begins in utero and ends at school age."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis

The immune system self-regulates. Otherwise it would constantly be freaking about about every food you eat or every particle in the air you breathe in or whatever. One of the primary issue with coronavirus is the cytokine storm resulting from the immune system freaking out, and one of the most effective front-line treatments is steroids to knock-down the immune system. So, by letting kids sneeze on each other and play in the mud and catch all the colds and stuff, you're allowing their immune system to develop 'tolerance' to benign stuff in the environment. There may be something like that at play here.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7365923/
Tang Y, Liu J, Zhang D, Xu Z, Ji J, Wen C. Cytokine Storm in COVID-19: The Current Evidence and Treatment Strategies. Front Immunol. 2020;11:1708. Published 2020 Jul 10. doi:10.3389/fimmu.2020.01708

"They define that “cytokine storm” is an activation cascade of auto-amplifying cytokine production due to unregulated host immune response to different triggers. The triggers involved infections, malignancy, rheumatic disorders, etc."

Yeah, so cytokines are just immune system signaling molecules. For some reason, Coronavirus causes the immune system to completely lose it's shit in some people. So, it's theoretically plausible that the more coronaviruses (common colds) you were exposed to as a kid, the less your immune system will overreact because it's seen something similar before many times.

> This is what happens when it's too cheap to pump oil out of the ground and put it in everything you consume.

Sort of. Why is oil cheap now?

Oil is cheap now, fewer people will extract it. Exxon is reporting historic losses. Occidental went bankrupt. Shale extraction and deep sea exploration both are suddenly uneconomical. Isn’t this a positive?

Was there a reduction in demand? Sure. There was a huge reduction in speculation! People are still buying plastic, but dumb money (like USO and Chinese hedge funds) actually sent oil prices negative. Something inconceivable from a reduction in demand alone.

Do you have to burn the oil you buy? It is toxic waste that belongs in the ground. You could buy oil resources (extraction) relatively cheap right now and simply leave the oil in the ground.

People hate this line of argument, they hate it a lot more than recycling, like who’s going to go and buy oil futures, take delivery and not burn the oil?

People already do this with e.g. rainforests and land conservation and it’s basically the only 100% market-based, bulletproof land conservation process - buying land and like, not chopping the trees down or mining it. Maybe the same people who hate buying oil and not burning it also hate land conservation. Maybe they hate that forest protections make natural resources more valuable, thereby enriching the bad guys. It certainly feels shitty, giving these oil bastards free money. No simple answers here.

Besides what would happen to prices if people bought more oil than they need? Prices would rise, encouraging people to extract. Or prices would not rise, simply because speculators are terrified. Who knows! Lumber prices rise and fall all the time, despite forest under legal conservation having increased over time.

Anyway, if you know where prices will go, trade oil futures and become a billionaire. Also it’s only cheap for Saudis and Russians to extract oil. What do you want to do, invade?

I’m just trying to litigate the #1 misunderstanding: the relationship between oil prices and pollution. It is impossible to predict how oil prices alone will affect pollution. Prices are both cause and effect.
Isn't that a non-issue with high temperature incinerators?
The problem with having an expansive public sector is that it never stops expanding and has an extremely strong tendency of becoming unequal, disconnected or or one-size-fits-all as the scope/complexity of the programs expand.

This is particularly the case when our electoral choices at many a level boil down to binary options that may not project well for individuals with values/views that are largely orthogonal to the options practically available. For example if I were pro ABCDEFG, and one candidate is Anti ABC, and the other anti EFG; Which one should I choose when taken together the value of one set over the other is subjective and not even ordinal?

One mustn't forget that the power to do great good is inherently also the power to do great harm intentionally or not.

> 2020-10-30 Due to no response and the deadline closing in, Project Zero reaches out to other informal Github contacts. The response is that the issue is considered fixed and that we are clear to go public on 2020-11-02 as planned.

> 2020-11-01 Github responds and mentions that they won't be disabling the vulnerable commands by 2020-11-02. They request an additional 48 hours, not to fix the issue, but to notify customers and determine a "hard date" at some point in the future.

Suggests to me that GitHub has no clue whether it's resolved or not. Project Zero were following GitHub's lead. Asked them if the problem was resolved or not, didn't get anything, had to reach out to internal contacts, and then got a conflicting message saying "NO WAIT!"

The advantage of garbage sorting is it can change. If I don't get the memo that X can be recycled I won't put it into the right bin, but if it is sorted automatically the garbage company just installed the equipment and we are done.

Not to mention all the lazy people who don't bother to sort anything still get the right thing done.

There isn't much cost to the above: I'm not perfect so they need to re-sort my recyclables anyway (this is why I only have two bins, one for non-recyclables, one for recyclables instead of a dozen for each type). The real trick is to make the machines cheap and reliable enough to handle any input. I think the main reason they don't do this already is the machines jam if you feed them plastic bags.
I think this glosses over corruption in Bulgaria[1] and the fact that a lot of people got a Bulgarian passport without actually having any Bulgarian roots.

Not against the law in Finland at least and thus seems unfair that rooting is needed to do this.

Yeah. Sun wanted to be internet servers (along with workstations); SGI wanted to be render farms along with workstations. But internet servers were a lot bigger market than render farms. Which left SGI with the workstation business.

I remember that some guy at SGI wrote an article titled "Pecked to death by ducks", that argued that SGI would never be done in by commodity hardware - that commodity hardware wasn't powerful enough, so it would be as absurd as being pecked to death by ducks. Then dual CPU machines came out, and so he wrote a sequel: "Pecked to death by ducks with two bills".

In the end, though, SGI got pecked to death by 700-pound, 15-foot-tall ducks - the commodity hardware got better faster than SGI's did.

But in the mid-to-late 90s, I loved SGI machines. Not by 2005, maybe, but in their day, they were great.
Depends on the purpose. If you want to show the nuances, then, yes, it is effective. But, if I didn't know the results of the election, I don't think I could even take a guess looking at that map.

This is interesting from the perspective of showing a particular ideological blindness very, very clearly. He claims that Obama to Trump voters are motivated by racism and cannot see any problem with the idea that a racist would vote for a black man to have the most powerful job in the world.

If that is something a racist can do in your categorization of the world, than juuuuust maybe your categories are broken.

Otherwise we're in a world where racists would happily pick Barack Hussein Obama over Mitt freaking Romney, but couldn't bring themselves to pick Hillary over Trump.

On Reddit it depends on how the karma was obtained.

Example questions:

- Did they gain all their karma in one post, or was it gradual? Gradual karma is better because it implies that they're probably not a troll.

- Did their karma come from the current subreddit or a different one? Just because you have karma from a popular sub doesn't mean you're a good contributor to a niche sub.

- How frequently are they downvoted? Frequent negative karma in even-handed subreddits is a bad sign.

- Does the user have good reputation in related subreddits?

So it's usually not the number that matters, but the context around that number and how it came to be. That said, usually these things only matter when a user is misbehaving: if you're a mod you need to know whether they're having a bad day, or if they have a history of breaking rules and trolling.

There's one exception which is Poland due to the intimate ties of nationalism and Catholicism. But even so even in places that are religious in Eastern Europe it's almost more political or nationalistic than it is 'spiritual'.
