Sorry but that is nonsense.

First of all, Electricity consumption != Energy consumption

So although very important, Electricity is around 35-40% of the global emissions. https://www.vox.com/2015/3/31/8319859/electricity-vs-energy

Second, the best number right now for all the ICT sector is around 5% in electricity, which is equivalent to 2% in emissions. One single guy in a super fatalistic scenario is projecting a worst case situation for 2020 of 20% of electricity which it we assume the same distribution as today it would be equivalent to 8% of the world emissions, a 4X growth in 10 years. Even that is not going to happen.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06610-y

> Data centres contribute around 0.3% to overall carbon emissions, whereas the information and communications technology (ICT) ecosystem as a whole — under a sweeping definition that encompasses personal digital devices, mobile-phone networks and televisions — accounts for more than 2% of global emissions. That puts ICT’s carbon footprint on a par with the aviation industry’s emissions from fuel. What could happen in the future is hard to forecast. But one of the most worrying models predicts that electricity use by ICT could exceed 20% of the global total by the time a child born today reaches her teens, with data centres using more than one-third of that (see ‘Energy forecast’)1. If the computationally intensive cryptocurrency Bitcoin continues to grow, a sharp rise in energy demand could come sooner rather than later

> In Eurasia, interbreeding between Neanderthals and Denisovans with modern humans took place several times. The introgression events into modern humans are estimated to have happened about 47,000–65,000 years ago with Neanderthals and about 44,000–54,000 years ago with Denisovans.
Sure, it's a valid way to think for startups, but startups should gauge and plan for the amount of technical debt.

It's management being ignorant of technical debt where things become problematic.
> Are there strategies that allow us to improve our neighborhoods without displacing renters?

Rent control; just as Prop 13 (adverse impacts in other areas aside) allows improving neighborhoods without displacing homeowners on limited incomes through property tax.

Of course, anything that prevents displacing renters will necessary produce some drag on financial incentives for local improvements. (Just as not displacing homeowners on fixed incomes does.)
I've seen this from several different cultures and completely agree.
According to https://youtu.be/HnCBbiCetSg?t=569, the S-1 equivalent filing of the IPO showed Ant itself putting up 1.68% of its own money towards its lendings. That's way more leverage than the 8% mandated in Basel III.
Good question. Running the old version will still work for the foreseeable future. Since it's on github Im sure someone would just fork it anyways.

Also just noticed I'm running a really old version.
The leaded petrol thing is especially dumb, as the only "modification" needed to convert a car to run on unleaded is retuning the carburetor.
I really liked this. I struggle with the same question as OP so very interested.

What do you think stops people from doing something? Is it lack of information? Learned helplessness? What would help most in that moment when we think "I need to do something"?
A contract can say whatever you want. That doesn't necessarily make it legally enforceable.
You have to balance interest against need. My job search strategy heavily prioritizes interest. I will watch videos from conferences who overlap technologies I enjoy. For any speaker I enjoy I note their company. I will use LinkedIn to find similar companies. I have a quota I usually set to myself for every week, like 20 applications a week. Up until Wednesday I can apply to anything I want, by the end of the week I have to hit my quota no matter what. This alternating between jobs I want and jobs I am qualified for keeps your mind engaged in different ways.

I don't use competition listing sites for interviews. No hacker rank, don't care if my github is green, no project Euler. I don't apply to companies that require this.

In the evenings do coding problems on a whiteboard or clean paper. Being able to debug written code increases your ability to communicate about that code. Good teachers interview well, they are not necessarily the best employees but they interview very well.

When you get an interview, it helps to show some strong confidence. During the first phone screen make it clear that your intention is to complete any interview that you've gotten past the first phone screen. Let them know that you will inform them and all other active circuits upon a first job offer in order so they can prioritize closing out your circuit. This sets the mood for your communication going forward

I have to concur.

In general, gentrification is the clearest path to improving neighborhoods that have probably suffered as a result of "NIMBYism" elsewhere in a city.

Being opposed to gentrification is a form of "NIMBYism". Gentrification is not the enemy of affordable housing.
This might also concern you if your app is running on older android devices, and you have a backend that uses letsencrypt certificates, while the app is relying on the system root CAs.

A fix for this could be to add Let's Encrypt's root CA to your app.

Sorry, I just don't see anything new/interesting on this piece. Did I miss something? Those are just all very well known points.
Are you referring to something specific?
The 'ink' (it's really toner) cartridges that come in new printers have a fraction of the levels in them as retail cartridges. They're referred to as 'starter kits' if you look in the small print. You're looking at a false comparison there.

There are a lot of good suggestions here. I will add recognizing that living in a city is about sharing.

I have lived in San Francisco for over twelve years and the most important thing I learned or realized is that living in a city is about sharing. I have to share with the other folks here. Walking and driving are two obvious examples. But we also share an aural space. Certainly with my neighbors but more generally too. I share the backyard with my building neighbors. I share the city services. We share the air we breath as you notice instantly walking near someone smoking. Outside of my home there is very little I can do without interaction with others around me. This is true generally but in a densely populated space, like a city, you can't avoid it. It's just the way it is.

The requirement that we share doesn't mean that everyone does so gracefully or respectfully. Myself included. Nonetheless I propose this is a fundamental personal step that contributes to better cities.

> An email to several TAs + prof for the course with the student's personal information sent by the essay farm because the student was harassing the essay farm over payment/cost/speed, including live chat logs of the student calling them "pakis" (the essay farm was based in the Philippines)

Wow. What ended up happening?

The truly bespoke "pay2win" (love the name!) will always work sadly. But the price point means you don't have to be worried about 99% of the student population. It's an acceptable risk I suppose.
> And then the other is that a huge amount of technical debt is just code that a more senior engineer would refactor as they went.

I'm quite senior, and I don't think this is true.

Refactoring "as you go" is a no-go for a few reasons: (1) Roadmap (read: business) goals need to be reached and unless technical debt is a part of roadmap discussions -- it's usually not, because business people don't "get" code -- then it will naturally be of lower priority. (2) On a technical level, technical debt changes/re-arch should not live in feature branches. On a deeper technical level, technical debt pull requests and reviews will also usually incur a higher level of cognitive load (and thus will take longer to merge). Conflating technical debt and new features is a Bad Idea™. (3) This final point is a bit "20-20 hindsight," but with proper roadmapping and architecting (and unless you're building an MVP or proof of concept at your two-person startup), technical debt should basically not exist. Technical leaders should always push for high-quality code (even if product timelines are stretched) and technical debt is, generally speaking, a byproduct of bad technical leadership.
Could Google possibly be able (before were discuss willingness) to push an update to root certificate via Play Services?

I'd like to think that anyone not using Play Services (i.e. Android with no Play) is likely using a custom browser, and would heed a call to switch to Firefox.

The problem with some devices in Africa would be that many people will using older phone often don't have enough data for the big Play updates to succeed.

Teens often buy 10-100MB of data so they can use WhatsApp. (If you're from Southern Africa, and disagree with this, hit me up, you probably need to spend some time in a village ;) )
Surely there exists better terms than an explicit blacklist. I see this as a social weakness in GPL and other open source. GPL wanted to restrict people from profiting without contributing back. Now they profit and attack other projects.

What about this: GPL is supported by the FSF. Add a term which allows license use as long as no other projects explicitly supported by the FSF are attacked. (For some definition of attacked, supported,...)

Everything remains open, yet the FSF/OSI gets ways to fight back against egregorious takedowns.

Even just terms revoking the youtube-dl license the RIAA has (because you can bet one of them has used it), would be a step forward.
There will be shortly.

Root certificate updates are a massive security issue. Blaming Let's Encrypt is blaming one of the canaries for the coal mine disaster. 33% of Android devices don't and can't get up to date root certificates is an impressive security crisis that grows worse by the year (look at the other root expirations and the crazy workarounds that for instance Netflix has been doing to still work on older Android devices). Shouldn't the blame squarely be on Google, the Android OEMs, and the phone carriers for allowing this disaster to happen in the first place?

I realize that is a tough message to get out to users and site owners are going to be in the cross-fire, but it seems better to try to work for solidarity in pointing fingers at the right direction and the right direction certainly isn't Let's Encrypt.
Of course they could, they’d just need to temporarily move to a friendlier jurisdiction while working on this.
But the explanation does not contribute to clarity of understanding. This has nothing to do with hacking on cgroups itself. As a user of cgroups you should know that one group may control multiple processes, and one process may be controlled by multiple groups! There certainly is not a 1:1 correspondence.
I'm an American and with all its faults (and there are many) I do think Americans overestimate how long it takes to get routine stuff done elsewhere, or non-acute things that pop up and need addressed. It's really nice being able to call a doctor's office on a Tuesday afternoon and get an appointment for Wednesday morning.

I will say though that my dentist is very busy, and unless you're on a waitlist for cancellations they are basically booked solid 6 months out with all the routine cleanings and checkups. If you're lucky you might be able to get in for non-emergent stuff within a month but most likely you're going to wait 2-3 months to get a call of "we can see you in 45 minutes if you can make it in, I need an answer now because there are 6 other people to call on the waitlist."

Or maybe the definition of "Civil War" is more fluid than we think? I don't expect large-scale devastation and cities in ruins like in Syria, no.

But let's do some fun math. Roughly 70 million voted for Trump. Take away the housewives, the boomers, the Latinos in Florida and the less fanatical, more old-school Republicans that delivered Texas.

So let's say "only" a million are left out of the 70 and let's say that "only" a third of those - so 300k are willing to go to war for "their" President.

That's still huge trouble for this country. No, we won't be a failed state but a never-ending far-right insurgency that right-wing and foreign media constantly encourage and feed while the GOP publicly disavow is not something that we know how to deal with either.

The Left will be on the receiving end of it all by its very nature it will be reluctant to confront it beyond "let's talk about it".
There was an episode of Night Court in which a group of attendees from a Star Trek convention end up in court due to fighting over Kirk vs Picard. While Night Court had its share of zany characters, including one whose actor would go on to play the part of Commander Data, it rarely, if ever, broke the supernatural barrier. That is until that episode when a few of the Trekkies appearing before the court beamed out before they could be held in contempt. While good for a chuckle, it seemed out of character for the show. Guess when writers are dealing with Star Trek, the transporter is simply too irresistible to use.

That cost is actually in the ballpark for an ICE drivetrain swap using new parts and fully prefabricated fitment. Can be done much cheaper going with used parts from wrecked cars. Cheaper still if one has the resources to do their own fitment fabrication work.

It's nice though to see an outfit with the kind of reputation that Swindon has earned in ICE motorsports jumping into the EV game. This is bound to be a straightforward and high quality kit for those with the means and not the patience or ability to spend a year of weekends tinkering - that's a section of the EV conversion market that's always been missing.

For those who care about the cost and enjoy long tinkering projects, the hobbyist market's already been around for decades, and now the used production parts market is becoming well established.
By "massacred by Cortes", surely you mean "Massacred by 700 Spanish people, and 90,000 natives who were really pissed at the Aztecs and wanted revenge". Sources indicate(if you can trust them) that the Spanish tried to stop some of the widespread atrocities that the allied natives were doing to the Aztecs, but were powerless against a group 100x their size.
Disagree - I think the point is that for a restaurant, the health inspector will shut it down first. For the code, you won't have anybody to shut it down before your customers start getting food poisoning.
Most cars are commuter driven and 1-occupant (if my highway commuter experience is to be believed).

This wouldn’t physically replace the alternator, just let it free-spin until drained.

The economics are already confirmed (or not?) by the presence of plug-in electrics, it’s just that they go engine-off for some miles, while this idea goes engine 90% for 10x the distance. It’s perhaps even more efficient to make electric loads fully electric instead of building an electric drive-train onto an ICE one.
> If every single range it’s at at or below the lower bound for one candidate and at or just past the upper bound for the other, systematically, that’s the definition of a flawed model.

Yes, I agree that individual low-level polls for 2 elections in a row have underrepresented Trump's actual support. But, 538's model addresses exactly your point: low-level indicators like state polling can potentially be systematically flawed and biased. By simulating those unreliable low-level indicators through 40k scenarios, the scenario where Biden systematically underperforms biased pre-election polls in key swing states but Biden still wins (as we're seeing) ends up being a very reasonable outcome and the large reason why Biden was favored overall. Trump needed to outperform the polls in 7 states to win, and that just didn't happen.

And the polls weren't off dramatically in every single race. Here are some of 538's last predictions in key states:
AZ: 50.7% Biden / 48.1% Trump
NE-2: 51% Biden / 47.8% Trump
GA: 50.1% Biden / 49.2% Trump
PA: 52% Biden / 47.3% Trump
NC: 50.5% Biden / 48.8% Trump

Each poll has a margin of error, usually +/-2.5% or more. So, 2-3% swings on Election day are completely normal. NC was off by a tiny margin and enough to flip the state to Trump, while the others were also off by tiny margins, but not enough to flip the state.

And here's how much polling has traditionally been off:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_polling_for_United_...

Sizable polling swings are not uncommon and historically have gone in both directions, but the model was more concerned about just how narrow Trump's path to 270 was, more so than a routine or even historical polling error.

> The betting markets were much more accurate.

Everyone who bet on Trump at a 30/40% chance to win is about to lose their bet. I definitely wouldn't have taken those odds for Trump to run the table in 7 straight must-win swing states all polling as a coin-flip and within the margin of error. In a completely random scenario Trump would have only had a 14% chance of pulling that off.
Lighthouse looks like an interesting product, particularly the skip-level insights and 1:1 scheduling.

There is a new type of bad manager taking over, that does all the little things from contemporary management wisdom right, but is adrift as a leader and a bit delusional about the aura of thoughtfulness they project, personal wisdom and ability to mentor. To put it too glibly, it is what happens when one understands the material from Rands and Ask a Manager better than what their company and industry is actually doing.

I would like to see manager assistance software tackle this by guiding the manager by periodically guiding the user through some tough personal questions.

In case it must be said, I am not afflicted with this kind of bad manager; I’m just observing it in other organizations and trying to prevent myself from committing the same overreaction.
This is pretty clearly the CCP intervening in the economy in order to stabilize it and avoid a financial crisis. I don't think this counts as picking winners and losers. I'm not sure that reclassifying something that is clearly a bank as a bank then enforcing the international agreements it would be bound too is picking winners and losers, it's just regulation.

The issue is moreso that Ma seemed to somehow have captured the regulation to delay this, and only now, with the huge attention, was the regulation enforced.
That's doubtful, companies get harder to manage at scale not easier.

And real long term issues like this are usually fixed through massive culture changes, leadership changes, followed by extremely heavy lifting by ICs.

Just look at Microsoft evolving from Windows to the Cloud, to Azure.

Two years, when you are dealing with a ton of software and hardware and a CEO who has somewhat of a "god" complex - it's unlikely that things have changed all too much.

More likely, if they decided to retool for the Model 3 and build from the ground up, yes, but that would add time delay, and Elon always feels like he's racing against an internal clock in his head so it's doubtful.
Of course it shouldn't be used. The company I worked with has relabeled 'Technical Debt' as 'Technical Wealth Investment'. Not sure how it helps, but somehow still nothing gets done.

If I was still actively working on Django projects, probably would be willing to pay. Value seems fairly clear and proof of value would be straightforward to evaluate.

>With languages as complex as modern C++, I always tend to hunt for a subset of features that makes me happy and productive, and effectively discard the rest.

Perhaps you are in a position to make such choices, but it's not a realistic option for most developers most of the time.

Not all projects are greenfield. Not all projects can restrict their choice of libraries to the ones that conform to some preferred style or language subset. Not everyone is self employed and working alone. You cannot know in advance what subset of the language any particular employer or client prefers.

So my advice to a young developer would be to learn all of C++ or steer clear of it altogether. Learning C++ well enough to not be dangerous is a major undertaking.
What makes those two libraries, in particular, "highly dubious"?

ABSTRACT: The term technical debt was coined by Ward Cunningham in 1992. In recent years, people have broadened the definition to include ideas not present in the original formulation, including lack of skill, expedient hacking, and obliviousness to software architecture. By lumping these together, it’s harder to choose the right repair. This article proposes that we use the term ur-technical debt to refer to the original idea, which was: When I build systems iteratively, my understanding of the problem and solution grow gradually, and inevitably my current thoughts do not match code I wrote earlier, so I must expend effort to fix that code, much like paying interest on a debt.
