I think we have a different understanding of what a green new deal means. For me it means investing in green infrastructure, an amount that the global economy is already spending on carbon polluting ventures (including the military).

I can’t possibly see how reducing (in my opinion) stupid and corrupt business investments and increasing in sustainable infrastructure that will lower our carbon footprint can cause more harm then good. For me this fact is obvious. I think we there must be some fundamental difference between us for us to arrive at such different conclusions.
It sounds more like an ad hominem jab to me. Was there any response to the substance of my comment?

> What do you consider sufficient evidence here?

If I became convinced the expulsion had nothing to do with Jan 6 and was part of a standard process of review that AWS conducted for all their customers then that'd be sufficient.

There were, generously, a few hundred people involved in the Capitol storming. It isn't obvious how organised they were organised since they lacked guns and riots sometimes start spontaneously from protests. AWS didn't have time to work out who they were, what they were trying to achieve, how they were organising, what there motivations were or what was going to happen next. Using that as a trigger to ban Parler - when they could easily have been organising on Facebook or in person - would be strong evidence of political bias.

> Businesses aren't courts that need to prove guilt.

I don't mind if AWS is biased, but part of the fun of kibitzing is assessing whether decisions are good or bad. AWS making decisions on bias rather than rational thought process would be bad. People who use evidence and can think in a consistent manner have a big advantage.

Twitter made the mistake of trying to rationalise their bias, giving us a memorial of them trying to rationalise "To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th." as a call to violence. It is a legitimate concern that the same sort of evidence-free thinking could take root in AWS's leadership - they might easily be drawing their leadership from similar pools of people to Twitter since the big tech companies are acting in the same direction at the same time.

> A species can be common in some place and critically endangered in other at the same time

It is not critically endangered in the UK, it is several centuries extinct. The world is in no danger of losing this animal, the ecosystem in the UK has already adapted

Next up you pretend like animal culling is some new practice dreamed up by hunting enthusiasts.
Sprouted fodder is a scam? I'm not sure I know what exactly the concept behind sprouted fodder is, and who would stand to profit from such a scam. Maybe You could explain the details?

I do throw whole wheat grains into my chicken run's deep litter every time I put a new layer of chips or hay down. I personally do this more to encourage the hens to scratch for sprouts and fermented seeds. IMHO this scratching has value as it keeps the birds active in cold months and keeps the bedding compaction down which makes spring cleanout easier but I also believe it provides some benificial nutrients.

Silage tarps over hay, especially hay that didn't get cut before heading out due to wet weather, results in sprouted fodder of sorts and that definitely increases the nutritional value of seedy hay.
A bit of duct tape will do the trick.
> He said he transferred it to his personal Dropbox cloud account to use later on his personal computer.

Some companies don't draw the line between personal and work computers.

Most schools, colleges, and universities expect students now to supply their own computers.

But, while it's not surprising that someone today could consider that it might be ok just to take the data home like it's no big deal, I think Tesla isn't making a mistake in taking this to court, if it was clear in the contract(s) that the employee signed that such behavior was unacceptable.

You could jump to conclusions reading the title that the employee planned to sell the data or was working for a competitor, and you could be correct. But what's at issue, it seems, is that the employee didn't meet their contractual obligation.
ObjC doesn't change any existing C syntax, it only adds messages. C++ is an entirely different language with a different spec that merely looks like C.
North East as well, 100 years ago there were practically none, now they're common in most suburbs. Along with ticks and Lyme disease.
But, yes, you really need to play around with one to 'get it'. Or at least, get why the other languages fail to really uphold the goal.

Per the original anecdote, being told "it's all blue!" isn't that impressive when you've seen the spots of blue and shrugged them off as just normal little detours amongst the pink, and can't imagine everything being blue. You have to see it for yourself.
Agreed with the settling lower down on the ladder. I’ve been all the way up (CTO) and found it be too stressful. I prefer to stay in engineering and not moving back into management.

To be scrupulously fair, I think the concern is more "bad people might behave just as bad, but in ways that technically don't fit whatever criteria we banned the last group for". Or, less directly, "bad people might find good people who behave in ways that technically do fit those criteria, and try to get them banned".
You think NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, etc can build the ISS but they can't raise it to a higher orbit? Honestly, this cheering for privatization of space research is getting out of hand.

Because ObjC is a strict superset of C in the technical sense. That is: every valid C program is also a valid Objective-C program.

Of course idiomatic ObjC is heavily tilted toward the non-C parts of the language (OOP features), but that doesn’t mean it’s not a true superset of C.

You can give someone as little as a dollar via a service like PayPal. In the world today, that's pretty small.

I think the endless discussion of a desire for "micropayments" is just another excuse for "We don't really want to pay for content and we imagine if you get it down to a penny, that's so close to zero, we think it would basically be free."

I imagine if someone solved it, there would be some new complaint (like "Do you know how many articles I click into each week? I am getting charged a penny for every single one! This is killing me!")

The internet doesn't like paying writers/content producers. The internet loudly objects to every means to pay content producers: ads, content marketing, tip jars, etc. It all gets decried by someone, somewhere for existing at all.

People basically think content producers are supposed to be slave labor and then don't like it if you put it that way.

Edit: to be clear, I think chasing the mythical beast of "If only we had micropayments, then we could pay for content!" is like friends who say "If I won the lottery, I would give you half." What they really mean us that in theory they would like to do something for you, but in reality they aren't going to do anything for you in the here and now and probably would change their mind if they really won.

Both winning the lottery and solving the micropayments problem are sufficiently long shot that you probably won't have to pay up. It's frequently code for "I wish you people could get paid. It's sad that writing is slave labor. But I don't want to give you my hard earned money."

Yes. But in another way to look at it, as a percentage of the US federal budget, in 2017 and 2019 it was the lowest it's been since 1959. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_of_NASA
All of the RCP scenarios assume large scale carbon capture and storage, a technology we have no pathway to scaling.

None of the RCP scenarios consider potential positive feed back loops. This is understandable because from a climate modeling perspective these are complex and involve a lot of uncertainty/unknowns. However historical evidence suggests that in all mass extinction events involving rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 there is a point at which CO2 concentrations appear to start to dramatically increase due to some systemic trigger. We don’t know what exactly that may be, but many climate change concerns are happing “faster than expected”.

Events that cause positive feedback include things like increased CO2 emissions from wild fire, destruction of the amazon rainforest, increased albedo from melt arctic sea ice, methane release from melting permafrost, etc. We really don’t know how to account for all of these but past climate/co2 events suggest there is a “tipping point” for radical climate change.

It is also worth pointing out that climate change is only one of the ways in which our current system is completely unsustainable.

Our current economy demands perpetual growth. We are already living unsustainably. The consequences for this are obvious, and if we were remotely capable of surviving in a way remotely resembling our current standard of living we would have to immediately start scaling back production and consumption. The green new deal is a joke, and we clearly are incapable of changing our path.

Since the concept of 32 thousand nukes exploding in a war sounded realistic (a bit on the "too many" side, but nothing completely impossible), I got into wikipedia to check if that was any particularly large bomb. I have bad news for you:

> The fusion-fission blast had a yield equivalent to 104 kilotons of TNT (435 terajoules)

That is a quite small fusion-fission bomb. If your calculation is right, we are talking about some hundreds of more normal ones, not tens of thousands.

This comment appears to be an attempt to paint these conspiracy theories as equivalent.

One posits there was a Russian influence on an election(which is probably true if not likely in all of our elections for the past 50 years) and the other is an almost comical rejection of reality.

For what it’s worth the parent likely knows this and I don’t think the person I’m responding to is making this comment in good faith.
Sorry, what? The reason we have so many launch providers today is because space is extremely valuable. Even though you don't realize it there are hundreds of satellites above you head and you're connected to many of them. Telecommunicate (not just your phone), GPS, weather, etc. We wouldn't have the modern world without access to space. Things getting cheaper is causing a boom.
I've been turning my video off lately. It actually seems to go better when I do. Maybe I'm that ugly.
I mean, sure... if we count to 2050 and then stop counting... maybe. But that is not how the world works. We need to count beyond 2050 to get a good estimate. If (and that is a big if; ’cause I don’t really trust this number) the climate impact is gonna cost 7.9 trillion dollars by 2050, I’m sure it will cost $8.4tr by 2051, and $12.5tr by 2055, $22tr by 2060 and then $120tr by 2070. And then maybe by 2100 the economy as we know it will have collapsed and any cost estimate is void.

The climate impact is getting more severe at an exponential rate, and—unlike the pandemic—it is not gonna get better in the foreseeable future.
Government spending "creating jobs" is a lot like a business plan where you pay people to buy your products, or a car that makes its own fuel.
I would upvote you for rightly pointing out that it seems political, which is worth calling out, but I disagree with your sarcastic tone.

But largely, yes, somehow, in some people's heads I think people have made an emotion association that endorsement of a drug is somehow a validation of an ex-political-figure. Hopefully that can all be put behind us now.

I looked on wikipedia and found "Hydroxychloroquine is being studied to prevent and treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19), but all clinical trials conducted during 2020 found it is ineffective and may cause dangerous side effects.[3][4][5][6]"

But interestingly, the systematic review it referenced concluded "There is sufficient pre-clinical rationale and evidence regarding the effectiveness of chloroquine for treatment of COVID-19 as well as evidence of safety from long-time use in clinical practice for other indications [3] to justify clinical research on the topic." The rest of the citations were prior to June.

I'm not specifically saying it does or doesn't work, I couldn't care less. I do care about citations matching.

This is a nice idea although I never thought it could've worked; it seems like it took forever for people to stop trying though. The app-and-library organization of software is more natural than document-and-component organization because of Conway's law, which is surprisingly hard to escape.

"Physician and clinical services" includes far more than pay for US doctors -- it's the entire costs for "services provided in establishments operated by Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) and Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.), outpatient care centers, plus the portion of medical laboratories services that are billed independently by the laboratories". Doctors do not get even close to all of that money paid to them.

> In fact, physicians represent about 15% - 16% of the top 1% of income earners in the US.

This may be accurate, I'm unsure, but it wouldn't change that if US doctors were paid the same as their European counterparts, it would not make a truly significant change in overall US medical spending (this would even be true if doctors did actually make up 20% of medical expenditures, like you assert earlier).

You have a linked list. Each memory location, since it’s user-space, stores the virtual address to the next location. How do you offload a program to process this “in situ”? You’d need to translate these to physical addresses. Parent is 100% correct about the challenge this poses.

They aren't as heavy as most might think is my point.

The average midsize car is 3361 lbs and the model 3 SR+ is 3600 lbs so 239 lbs is the difference between the two for an extremely good EV. It is very good to spread this information.
Space Force is specifically for military and not public. To protect strategic assets like keystone satellites, launch detection system, etc. Stuff the Air Force was doing but the sub department in the AF grew big enough that it became it's own thing. Similarly it's not unlikely to see a cyber force happen in the future.
The Green New Deal is a specific set of proposals with that name: https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/12/21/181441...

It advocates a “World War II” style mobilization, of the sort that existed back when the federal government took over almost half the entire economy.

I understand that’s not what you support, but people do support massive efforts like this to combat climate change. My point is simply that when you say climate change will have “untold cost” you make it impossible to understand why the programs you support might be worth it, while a World War II-style mobilization would do more harm than good.

I saw some numbers a while back and it's very, very low. The real theft ends up being people stealing the mirrors since those go for some $$ on ebay and the like.

I think would-be car-jackers know stealing a Tesla is pointless. Sure, they could stick it into a shipping container.... but then what? All of the electronics are signed and can be traced, the car as gps and will phone home the moment it leaves the container.

Too much work for too little reward.
A lot of car manufacturers have real time location data being phoned home so stealing most modern cars has this risk yet thieves still do it and get away with it.

“ Khatilov said he was told to download the files from Tesla’s system because his job would involve working with some of them. He was trying to make a backup copy of a folder containing the files on his computer, but he “unintentionally” moved the folder into the Dropbox, he said.

“I didn’t know that there was 26,000 files there,” he told The Post.

Khatilov, who was working remotely, downloaded some more files on Jan. 6, the day Tesla personnel caught him and confronted him on a video call, according to the lawsuit. Tesla says the scripts he downloaded “had nothing to do with his responsibilities.”

Balance can be found within. Only when we are capable to remove outside motivation and create internal meaning things start to click and the idea of pushing one self towards a goal is healthy.

I'm not a doctor or medical training, but have attempted to do limited meta-research of my own (generally just building on what others have already written for months now about it). I think there's good reason people are still skeptical that this is a useful treatment, and this is after many attempted trials. The latest "study" of that I saw (from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092485792...) seems to have compared patients who were very sick (high fever) and received normal treatment against patients who weren't very sick (no fever) and received zinc+hydroxychloroquine. When viewed in that way, it should be unsurprising then that the not-very-sick patient cohort fared better then the very sick. Additionally, the report notes that the not-treated people in that not-very-sick group also did much better than the treated people in that group. So, all told, that seems like too little evidence and too late, with the real conclusion being that if you want to avoid being sick, don't go get sick.
