> And, compounding the issue is the fact that those minding the programmers were and remain (in the best cases) mostly behind the curve -- they're in meetings all day, after all -- and are simply not in a position to authoritatively smack down "let's use X!" enthusiasms. (In the general case, they are entirely clueless.)

I don't think them smacking the "let's use x" is a good idea since it's the Devs who'll be writing the code.

The org needs a framework that answers:
1. How easy is it to train someone to use this stack? How long would it take for someone to start writing good code
2. How much time would it save us when building something new?
3. How easy is it for someone completely new to the codebase to start contributing?

1 and 2 can be easily measured within the org

The government has many ways of getting consent, as you said: driver's licenses, passports, tax, any other interaction with the state...or even mailing a separate form to each and everyone complete with a media campaign.

I am no fan of opt out since with the right opt-in they could get enough.
I would hope that legislation could protect patients from medical providers passing the costs on to them.

It seems to me that the medical profession is financially imbalanced with respect to the rest of society. In the US, they are propped up by mandatory health insurance requirements and are all but guaranteed income, whether it’s from private insurance companies, taxpayer dollars (a la Medicaid/Medicare), or some poor unfortunate soul’s lifelong medical debt payments.

As long as people are being born, medical problems will be a dime a dozen, and wealth earned by medical practitioners will scale with the size of the population.

Yes, the media loves to report that acknowledging rare side-effects causes people to not want J&J.

The media is just drumming up controversy where there is none.

The alternatives to being open and acknowledging rare side-effects are worse.

I sure don't want to get the Russian Sputnik vaccine because I have zero trust the Russians would sweep rare side-effects under the rug.

80% of people in England support organ donation

This is nonsense, because this is the standard fallacy of any survey. You take a sample and extrapolate out to the general population. If your sample is not representative, then the statement is false.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that we should mandate a law whereby nobody can claim "% of X agree to Y" unless it is specifically stated "% of X surveyed out of a sample size of N agree to Y. Here's a link to the methodology and questions."

Organ donation is good and important, but default opt-in is a bad decision, and the reasoning listed for it is worse.

Apple is the best at getting consumers to buy software. US govt cracking down on that is shooting themselves in the foot. Google Play is mostly free ad-supported apps with a higher incentive to resell data.
Upfront costs, with networking, rack and stacked, and wired, were far under $100/TB raw, around $40-$60, but this was quite a while ago and I don't know how it looks in the era of 10+TB drives. Also remember that once you are off S3 you are in the situation of doing your own backup, and the use case dictates the required availability when things fail... we didn't need anything online, but mirrored to a second site. With erasure coding, you can get by with 1.5x copies at each site or so, with a performance hit. So properly backed up with a full double, it's about 3x raw...

Opex will be power, data center rent, and internet access are hugely hugely variable. And of course, the personnel will be at least 1 full time person who's extremely competent.

You literally picked the most capricious industry to make that argument with?

China has taken all of that manufacturing prowess that the world has been pushing on to it, and turned around and made homegrown stuff that matches or surpasses the originals in terms of quality, and now, market popularity. (In China)

Pair this with the rising nationalism and middle class in China, and you’ve got a huge up swing in this area.

I'm curious why distributed cloud storage systems such as filecoin haven't been mentioned as a possible solution. Estimates of cost of storage that I saw on "file.app" put it at something like 100x cheaper than S3.

One thing especially for me that makes this list 'awesome' are the short descriptions along side the links. Often such lists only put a word or two with the link, Oli goes into more detail, making the list more informative.

There's absolutely no carbon footprint in luxury spending, because luxury goods are by definition very high-markup. Every buck spent on a Birkin handbag saves that amount from being spent on a gas-guzzling SUV, or more realistically, considering the target group, from being spent on a couple of private jet flights that would emit tens of tons of CO2.

If anything, luxury spending must be promoted to reduce carbon intensity of national economies.

One thing you should know is that YouTube (and other Google services) is really, really sensitive to things like scripts, bots and copyright content. They might have connected those 20 channels you created to your main account and yourself. After that they might have thought you were a spammer. Recently they even banned some people because they were automatically updating their titles using a script.

But they don't give feedback for why they ban someone so we will never know why they did it.
Thanks for sharing! Obviously ignorance on my side.

You could however raise it a lot more to make it have bigger effect. E.g. In Sweden you pay about $200-250/ton (for gas). Then you could argue that there are other emissions from gas such as NOx and similar. A little bit outside my comfort zone but I'm sure it would have some effect at least to make electric vehicles more attractive!
Wait, so you think if a Veblen good becomes more scarce there will be no price increases around it?

won’t keep anyone from getting to work or the store

I can tell you that luxury vehicles transport plenty of people to work or the store just fine, and if they break down, written off, or are stolen they require replacement just the same.
He’s not punishing someone in need. Nobody has a right to someone else’s organs, however life-saving they may be. The fundamental idea of a ”donation“ is that it’s voluntary.

Yup, but many manufacturers are carbon-offsetting their production a lot more compared to ICE cars.

Also: depending on your country's electricity production profile, EVs tend to become more environmentally friendly around 2-3 years of use according to studies.

And when the production profile changes (more renewables etc.) ALL EVs on the road instantly become better for the environment. There's no practical way of makin ICE cars better for the environment after they're sold.
Correct. 'Gas flaring' specifically.
I think this data is a few years outb of date. They've cut back drastically as of late.
It’s not an easy thing to do and not an easy thing to say out loud but I _am_ angry about it and there’s not much else I can do.

Do we have agency over our own bodies or not?

How can I keep that agency and help someone under an opt-out system? That has been taken from me when better, workable opt-in solutions weren’t tried.

To take it to extremes, should the government be able to take “spare” kidneys from live donors?

Organ donation gets a lot of razzle dazzle press. I think we should put more effort into other things.

Rejection is horrifying and can be deadly. Donated organs can introduce deadly infections. If all goes well, you will be on anti rejection meds the rest of your life.

> one 1.2PB RackmountPro 4U server is $11K

An empty 4U server with 96+ bays looks like it will set you back ~$7k minimum. At $500 per drive (I have no idea what volume discounts are like) filling it with drives would be in the range of ~$50k. You'd still need RAM. And (as you noted) space and power.

I have no idea how the math ends up working out, but a 1PB appliance in working order is nowhere near as cheap as $11k.
>Building favelas and skid rows in major cities is a recipe for disaster and so are attempts to provide free housing for everyone who doesn't have one for obvious economic and behavioral/medical reasons.

> I think asking people this question when they apply for a passport would be a good middle ground

This already happens. When you apply for a driving licence, you are asked whether you would like to be put on the donor registry.
It's because you can reserve with your credit card and the OEM is responsible for the transaction fee. 10% of MSRP is like $4,000 and 1-3% of that is $40-$120. When saving 1/4 of a cent is crucial at scale, you wont be happy giving up 40-120 bucks.
What if I off-shore my earnings to avoid paying tax; what if I vote Republican. Does consenting to organ donation make me a worthy person despite anything else you may disagree with?

I leave them enabled but email only, then I set up filters for each service to move it to */automated/jira directories automatically.

That way my inbox stays clear but I can speed run through first thing to make sure I’ve not missed anything, I also ruthless cull anything unrelated to my work, so any notification a project I don’t work on gets deleted.

This reduces several thousand emails a month to about 6 I actually need to see in my inbox.

> we don’t desire housing and commerce in a single building in the same way as how we’d want kitchen and bathroom to be separate

Wait, what?

Other than very old houses (which I've been told had the bathroom in a separate building), every residence I know of has the kitchen and the bathroom in the same building. Yes, they are separated by walls, in the same way housing and commerce in a single building would be separated by walls and floors.

There was Xandros Linux, which came with the Wine-based CrossOver Office to run Windows applications.

Xandros was based on Corel Linux. They acquired Corel's team and Corel Linux sources when Corel gave up on Linux. Interesting tidbit, although WordPerfect 8 was a native Linux application, Corel used their own Wine fork for porting WordPerfect Office.

Back then, the Linux distribution landscape was so much more exciting than now, when everything is just another fork of Debian/Ubuntu/Arch. Of course, it had downsides to -- distributions were far less compatible.

I dislike the “merge from top to bottom of the stack” flow proposed as the “standard way”.

I find that the bottom PRs get unwieldy; you can end up merging a multi-thousand line behemoth f1 containing f2, f3, etc. which is hard to verify as correct.

Instead, merge f1 including any changes f1’ you may have force-pushed to that branch. Then do a ‘git rebase <sha> f2 —onto master’ where <sha> is the old f1 commit that you originally targeted your f2 PR against.

You’ll need to resolve merge conflicts f1..f1’ into your f2. You can now force push that f2 and retarget your f2 PR onto master.

Repeat for f3, f4, ..., though I generally find more than 2-3 stacked PRs to be risky; the further away from master you get, the more likely something is going to change drastically in a PR that you’re branching off.

Anyway, this requires a bit more rebase-fu, but I think it leaves a better paper trail and is easier to work with if you do grok rebase fully.

"We could very easily save your life with a transplant, but we won't because you did not choose to be an organ donor" is not something I think people in this country have the stomach for. This would be like if we didn't treat people who opt not to carry health insurance. In theory that prevents moral hazard, but in practice no society would be willing to let people with treatable ailments die.
