I'm not sure how many climate scientists there are specifically, but scientists will see impacts even if they're not studying climate change specifically. Biologists are noticing changes, eg. trees flowering earlier than normal [1], coral bleaching [2], record low moisture content [3], etc. Even psychologists are involved [4]. It's pretty hard to escape.

In tournament play you are allowed to bunnyhop without scripts. It's harder and less usefull in csgo but still done. Most servers aren't gonna ban you for bunnyhopping unless you are doing nothing but bunnyhopping around the map the entire game. You won't get a vac ban.
climatebase.org is very good for this. HN’s Who Is Hiring thread is unbelievably bad for this!
I think you’re both right. It is definitely the easiest and most intuitive distributed system, and it’s also difficult to understand how all the pieces fit together. Just getting a typical web app deployed requires a container for the app, a pod definition, a DB container, a stateful set, a persistent volume for DB and possibly app storage, a persistent volume claim, a service, an ingress, something like cert manager to to handle creating a cert and attaching it to the ingress, etc. It all makes sense when you’ve done it a few times but it can seem quite overbearing even to someone who’s a fan of docker-compose.

Newspapers, which you point out used to moderate for us, don't want to play the moderation game in the Internet era either.

Many publications have ripped out their Disqus, Facebook commenting plug-ins that used to accompany their articles.

The current apocalyptic scenarios are the same as in the past. If anything, we do have more science and technology to deal with them and to predict them.

And the grim prediction is rather than climate change, the real problem is population growth.

While I agree with the general sentiment that Bitcoin's energy consumption is a huge problem, I have a problem with these as arguments in isolation.

Most would not claim that a Visa transaction and a Bitcoin payment are close to equivalent (the article you linked even acknowledges this). Mining gold is a more interesting comparison, but even though I can go start mining Bitcoin right now, I can't go start mining gold.

The article provides a more thoughtful exploration that gets into some of the nuance and makes a stronger case against mining. I mention this because someone reading your comment might be tempted to discard it outright because "those comparisons make no sense".

To those people: read the article.
Microsoft doesn't own 95% of the ad market, pretty much the entire search market, the browser market (and thus web standards pretty much), and also email, storage, etc.

Google owns the internet.

Well, it doesn't scale for the future tax vs. elder social benefits. You can't just sweep the consequences of extreme population demographic shifts under a rug. Look at China with its disastrous One-child policy where there are millions of unhappy, dissatisfied men who can't marry. That's a recipe for social unrest and suicide attacks.
The threat to our way of life was the government response, by a long shot, not the virus.

And it’s not over, our way of life is still very much in jeopardy from government throwing away civil liberties to “flatten the curve” which somehow turned into “flatten the economy”, this is probably the most terrifying thing I’ve seen in the past 30 years.
Mass shooting are isolated events - Statistics clearly show that most gun deaths are either self-inflicted or the result of gang wars - and "mass shooting" reporting is incredibly biased since they decided to artificially cut the definition at "more than 3" iirc and the data will look quite different depending on the thresholds you choose. But that's a very different topic.
You aren't being instructed to believe something based on faith. You're encountering evidence you disagree with and making up, which is to say hallucinating, the idea that the evidence of science is something that is like faith.

It is nothing like faith.

Don't make your problem with the available evidence a question of faith or you discredit faith.

Like I said, don't bring faith into politics.

If you believe that people who believe climate change is an emergency are taking part in a faith-based movement that is a huge logical error on your part.

Faith is a personal choice. Examining evidence and coming to a conclusion about what is real is a matter of logic and reasoning. They are completely different, and mixing them is not just poor form, it exposes your motivated reasoning.

In January, I took 2 weeks PTO from work to visit this community to checkout what they do: https://wheaton-labs.com/

What I saw was incredible! They were making homes that keep cool during the summer and warm during the winter and you can grow crops on the roof because the house is covered in mud (wow!).

For 2 weeks when I was there (during the winter in Montana) I woke up earlier than everyone so I can light up their rocket mass heater. A few blocks of wood heats up this mass that dissipates heat throughout the day. The house stays between 66 degrees (coldest) to 72 (warmest) in the morning when the fireplace is on. As a Californian, I never thought there were so much efficiency to be gained from something as simple as a fireplace.

They lived a healthy lifestyle with minimal waste and energy usage and it helped inspire me to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

Just a really cool experience! I'm going back again this summer for their conference: https://wheaton-labs.com/permaculture-design-course/

Permaculture is really awesome.
Interesting. I just have a keyboard shortcut in i3 that uses dmenu to let you select a credential. Very handy as I have multiple accounts for some sites/apps. Plus, the browser extension has its own keyboard shortcut.

Nuclear plants take a little while to build. On that time scale we will have pretty good battery tech too, and skyscrapers that aren’t prefab. None can really be spun up on an emergency basis.
What no one (few?) are mentioning is that the geofence mechanisms on phone is not reliable enough to do time tracking like this. For power reasons it might be seldom activated or woken up.. could many many minutes after arrival or departure, and that's assuming that the bounds weren't tight enough that it requires a higher-accuracy GPS mode which might take even longer to get that data (since it's opportunistic on other location requests). It would help if the employees used a mapping application to get directions to work, as then high-accuracy location would be on and triggered, but that's not obvious to ordinary people... and not likely to be used on your usual routes either. In this respect the app is kind of selling snake oil with high consequences. Employers would be far better off with the clock in/out that has existed forever.
That’s a good point, I could see it happening, even if it wasn’t social - merely an association with “green” apps being more buggy and annoying to use.

I don’t care for iMessage particularly but I do know when it’s blue bubbles I have a lot more capabilities.
Again, those don't have being inefficient by design built into their core. It's to everyone's best interest to make video games, leisure travel, and fashion, as efficient as possible. Cryptocurrencies' proof-of-work concept relies on being inefficient. If you get more efficient, difficulty goes up, to keep the process inefficient.

None of the unimaginable amounts computations wasted on proof-of-concept have any inherent value at all, until someone hits that final "lucky" one, that allows the transactions to take place.
Why should it not be all those same things, except also a stablecoin, so that the price can't fluctuate and the owners/speculators can't make massive profits off of manipulation, exploitation of others' manipulation, and social dynamics?

The goal is to transmit money through a mobile messaging app. If the MobileCoin wants to take donations to support the platform, or even wants to take a tiny cut of each transaction, that seems fine. But I see no justification for their platform to be based around a volatile speculative asset which generally serves no purpose but to create a new gambling market and enrich the founders.

A mobile-friendly alternative to Monero seems like a really cool, valuable idea. But I don't think it's acceptable that it's both a volatile security to speculate on and the payment system for a supposedly non-profit privacy-and-freedom-oriented messaging app.

The problem isn't cryptocurrency; it's penny stocks and all the zero-sum bullshit that comes with them. You don't have to make your new cryptocurrency a penny stock if you don't want to. Here, it seems they probably want to.
`[[no_unique_address]]` in C++20 should also resolve this and permit a zero-size object.

Population growth is not a massive problem: we already know that human population will hit a max of 10 billion people and from there start aging progressively and reduce over time.

Learning Product Management as skill not certification/ course
I'm looking for ways to learn product management as a skill to help me better build my own products but all I find over the internet is course and certifications. I'm not sure these provide enough skill to be a product manager or they're just a way to add PM to your profile and find a job.

I'm not really interested in finding a job or passing interviews etc. I want to learn product management as a skill. Would love to know if anyone has gone down that path and what did the journey look like.

> For instance, I could write a language that has all the trappings you would expect from a PL: a parser, compiler, syntax, semantics, code gen, etc. But the execution of language constructs depends on the time of day the program is compiled. e.g. An if statement compiled in the morning doesn't behave like an if statement compiled at night. Would that be a good tool? No. Would it be a programming language? I don't see why not. It's a programming language in every sense except for an arbitrary constraint you've placed on it based on your particular expectations.

But isn't this still a specific and repeatable behavior?

You're defining a language feature that I have no issue with here. I agree that it doesn't seem all that useful, but it's not at all in conflict with my definition.

> For example, "general" languages like C are in fact specifically tailored to the domain of imperative programming on a von Neumann computer architecture. When you take C out of its target domain - e.g. into parallel programming in a non von Neumann architecture, it suddenly becomes very cumbersome to express programs. Other languages you might call "domain specific" can very easily express programs in that domain. e.g. the dataflow language Lucid. People native to those domains would call those languages "general" and C "domain specific". It's all a matter of perspective.

I feel like this is really the heart of the discussion - If we are to assume that a language is to eventually be expressed on hardware that has been designed from the ground up to perform boolean logic, I don't see how we avoid the requirement that the language deal with boolean logic.

Lucid is fine by me - it was literally designed to be a disciplined, mathematically pure language. That it happens to use a different architecture than a central CPU and registers has little bearing on its ability to perform maths/logic.

Basically - Is this language not just a less capable subset of a "general" language? Because even the author has explicitly stated that it almost certainly won't be able to achieve even simple tasks such as parsing a document, and even a basic calculator was a "maybe".

So I can certainly understand that it may not be relevant to parse a file in some contexts/cultures, but I can't help but wonder how you can possibly hope to build a framework that explicitly avoids those concepts when the whole foundation has to be built on the things you're trying to avoid. The abstraction has to leak by default, or be inherently less capable.

Now - There may be some interesting room to consider hardware that isn't based on gates (AND/OR/NOT and all their various combinations) but this isn't that.

Which brings me back around to - isn't this just making the rules into a black box? They still exist, but they've been obfuscated in a way that makes them much less apparent? Handy for teaching, but ultimately limiting?
I wish I had expressed it as clearly: very much this.
Scientific American didn't merely endorse Joe Biden for president last year, they justified it with a description of the biggest crisis currently facing humanity (the Covid-19 pandemic) that was both nakedly partisan and really obviously contradicted by what was actually happening in the real world but that they declared was pure indisputable Science.
It’s a really small survey so far but roughly 2/3 of covid long haulers saw improvement after vaccination. 1/3 didn’t. I’m curious what actual, rigorous, studies will show later of course.
Yes, it's the same as a lot of completely untrained "service" dogs
I don't get your logic? I would have thought people supporting project zero - essentially believing there should be zero risk to any individual at society's expense (having to drive slow) would want the vaccine paused for the same reason. To save individuals from getting a blood clot at the expense of society not being able to reopen.
None of that means that the battery design is planned obsolescence.
It used to be, and that's why web frameworks included a CSRF token with all write requests. Without the CSRF token (which a third party couldn't have), the write would be stopped.

In modern browsers, the CSRF token isn't necessary anymore as long as the cookie's SameSite policy is set to Lax (the default) or Strict. Both will stop the cookie from being sent with a third party form submission.
The basic idea is fine, but the obnoxious gnome-esque, "we don't care about convention or your preferences" is the main problem.
I know - internet forums!
It is more dangerous because people who are vaccinated will take more risks and do less social distancing etc which in turn will harm others.

There is no definitive answer whether vaccine will reduce transmission. Those 20,000 people will definitely meet un-vaccinated people in next 10-12 days, and then may pass the disease to them.

Many people cannot get the vaccine, because it is not open yet to them, or have other conditions. So it is selfish for vaccinated people to behave as though the rest of the population does not exist.

There is also the worry that longer the disease lingers anywhere in the world, there can be mutations which are immune to current vaccines, such an mutation could be disastrous as people will loose trust in the vaccine and a second vaccine even when available will have lesser adoption than now . It could become a vicious cycle where there is third mutation, and this then becomes like the flu shots ( but lot more deadlier)

> Just tax pollution the amount it costs to clean up pollution

Even if Pigovian taxes were implementable[1], that's how they work. Since there is an optimal amount of pollution, the taxes are supposed to be set where the marginal cost to society of an additional unit of pollution is equal to the marginal benefit to society of that extra unit of pollution.

Note the hand-wavy terms "benefit", "cost", and "unit". The devil is in how those are measured. Since central planning authorities are horrible at figuring stuff like this out, one generally ends up in a situation worse than the one which one would like to fix.

As for the "clean up" aspect, I heartily recommend that one read and understand Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen[2]. Here is an excerpt[3].

Specifically, "clean up" is not free.

We won't know because it will be ever changing. The problem has always been is alarmist have exaggerated, set dead lines, and scare tactics, and never once been right. You can simply search old news papers less than ten years old or even early youtube videos to see all sorts of predictions by people we were told you cannot question and they are all wrong.

I've given up even trying to debate any portion of the climate because no opinion other than agreement is allowed. You must fully agree with all statements because even questioning minor parts gets your branded.

The damage done to serious debate is astounding.

Yet, read a paper from a hundred years ago, fifty years ago, twenty, or ten, and even five, and you will see what has been predicted before and never come to pass will be predicted again with the same vehemence if not worse.

Are there things we can change and need to change. Yes, and we have been making great progress. However doubling down each time you don't get it right will not make it better.

It was fun here while it lasted
I don't understand this argument, at all. Less energy wasted means less coal and fossil fuels wasted, until everything is 100% CO2-neutral regenerative energy sources.
I received similar radio silence when I recently reported a bug to a major sports league. I had access to all their ticket inventory, including bar codes, PII, and the ability to transfer the tickets to my own account.

As secret club shows alludes to on Twitter, it's a little jarring when you don't even receive a response from an entity that you're reporting to in good faith. It's more than disappointing. I feel for their frustration. I hope someone at Valve picks this up internally.
There's the pass-code extension for that:

https://github.com/alpernebbi/pass-code

> A pass extension that obscures the filenames and folder hierarchy within your password store.

> pass-code generates random filenames for each file in the password store and keeps the mapping in an encrypted file. This way, no valuable information is accessible even if your password store is leaked to the public (unless your GPG private keys were also leaked). Nevertheless, you should always ensure proper protection of your password store.
May I ask why are you comparing with ICE automakers? Tesla is much more than that. Wouldn’t your comparison be like only comparing Amazon’s Kindle vertical with the rest of the ebook reader market?
> I do come across many people who become enraged about random accidents who are completely unreceptive to the philosophy. Whereas for myself, I just think, it was always going to happen, let's deal with it

A drunk person has more chance to hit or be hit by a car than someone sober. "it was always going to happen" is a frequentist thinking while life is Bayesian.

It wasn't a "forest." I lived there for five years. It was islands of tall trees. Nearly all of them were maintained by arborists because of the liability of widowmakers. Our 1/2 acre yard had 7 tall trees and two giant lawns, nothing close to a "forest."

The trees were only "highly-flammable" because of the extreme lack of rain drying out the brush acting as kindling and the trees acting as fuel.
Dynamo strongly consistent transactions are still limited to a single region, and are eventually consistent outside of that region. For example, in Dynamo, it is not possible to enforce uniqueness via multi-region strongly consistent transactions. Fauna can do this.

The Dynamo transactions do increase latency, but not to the same degree as Fauna. However, they are not achieving the same level of transactional correctness either, or really any correctness at all in a multi-region context.
