> At 1400ppm CO2, we've turned what, 1000ppm O2 into CO2 (is it 1-1?), or 1% of the atmosphere.

1400ppm is 0.14%. Earth's current atmospheric co2 level is around 400ppm, or 0.04%. While the jump from 0.04% to 0.14% might seem significant (3.5x more co2!), it's not.

Submariners survive on 3400 to 11300 ppm co2, or 0.34 to 1.13%:

> Submarine crew are reported to be the major source of CO2 on board submarines (Crawl 2003). Data collected on nine nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines indicate an average CO2 concentration of 3,500 ppm with a range of 0-10,600 ppm, and data collected on 10 nuclear-powered attack submarines indicate an average CO2 concentration of 4,100 ppm with a range of 300-11,300 ppm (Hagar 2003).

I'd like to emphasize that the average CO2 concentration for submariners is 4,100 ppm or 0.40%, or ten times Earth's current CO2 level.

Oxygen is much more toxic than small amounts of CO2. Pure CO2 will kill you quickly, pure o2 will kill you slowly.

> People might be polite but gently remind you that's not really relevant to what's being discussed at the moment

Have you never been in a workplace before? That is absolutely not what would happen, especially in HN's darling startup atmosphere.

No normal person, being told their colleague was getting married would brush it off and say it's not relevant to the work discussion, and nor should they. It's inhuman and gross. I'm not a robot. I want to celebrate with my coworkers. We spend a lot of time together, playing like we shouldn't get personal with our time is absurd.

Teslas are still pretty new, but generally speaking leasing them is not a great choice. The terms are fine, but financially you are better off buying one and selling it after 3 years. They tend to hold their price a lot better than a Mercedes or a BMW.
> media, who have recently abandoned even the pretence of honestly reporting on, rather than trying to steer, political winds?

This has been going on for a long time. The media has been doing this as long as there has been media. There's probably just a pretty good chance that your personal preferences were fairly well reflected in the Northeast centric, government institution trusting, upper middle class value holding, media establishment.

IMO, as someone whose views were rarely reflected there and rarely saw questions asked that I'd like asked, I feel we're much better off. News organizations are being more clear about their biases (intentionally or not) and there is a much better variety of news.

See my other comment. I’m making a counter argument to the specific claim that conflicting sensors is an issue. I have no idea if the added benefit of Lidar outweighs the costs, but it doesn’t seem logical that “conflicting signals” could be an issue.

Do you mean at Woodwell Climate Center (woodwellclimate.org), formerly the Woods Hole Research Center? If so, I'm not sure. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI.edu) is nearby but unrelated.

Public outreach is very important for ocean science so we (WHOI) do have a visitor center and regularly host events[1] on campus and online. I'm not aware of anything for volunteers right now but in the past we have asked for help labeling data sets or reporting marine mammal sightings[2].

Apparently it's most likely tied to the German municipality of Waake or the Swedish tribe of Vagoths. However most Lithuanians would likely explain it in the form of a joke - either about Germans being thieves ('vogti' = to steal) in reference to Teutonic/Livonic ordins, or about them being 'tough' or well armored ('vo kiets' ~= 'wow, tough/hard').
Silly question. But couldn't CI say in TOS, that any crypto currency mined using their CI/CD resources belongs to the host?

Can you share your copy of the Strand book? A cursory Google search makes it seem somewhat elusive...
No. The proposition is, we'll show you the data we have.

Which is the exact same as what the law already requires (if you ask, free once per year in the US I believe) them to do, but of course the law doesn't require a snazzy web site with animated dials and explanatory videos.

If you're the sort of person who found it easier to get a few hours of exercise every week once they had a device telling them "You've only done 14 minutes of exercise today. That's not on track", then a credit monitoring service might be just the thing you need to actually pay off those cards on time and get your credit back into shape. But if you didn't buy that Fitbit, but did the same exercises, you'd get just as fit - and if you didn't buy credit monitoring but looked after your credit you'd find it easier to qualify for more credit.

So, having the monitoring might cause you to catch mistakes somebody made, and if you do you can inform them of the problem and they'll fix it (if you have documentary evidence) but it doesn't really change their actions compared to people who don't buy monitoring.

If you're thinking, wait, then why do they give you free credit monitoring when a big company loses your data? The answer is, because CRAs had existing sales people in those big companies, and when the big companies wanted to buy something to give peace of mind to people whose data they'd lost, "free credit monitoring" was on offer. Selling them something that actually helps is trickier, and what does it really mean exactly to actually help anyway?

I worked on a product like that, but it wasn't an easy sell. And for most users it seems exactly like it doesn't do anything. Like owning a Carbon Monoxide alarm. It seems to be working, but it doesn't actually go off, because you don't actually have a Carbon Monoxide leak, so... It's unclear what the online equivalent of the reassuring "I have power and am working" LED is, let alone the "Push to test" button. But outfits like Experian are aware that some kind of actual "Do bad guys actually have my stolen data and if so what do they have?" service is a better fit for those "data loss => free credit report" scenarios which is why they acquired the company I worked for when we were doing this.

I just thought it was probably worth adding that Victoria (2nd biggest state in Australia) has recorded a total of 820 deaths from Covid. That's the total. Not per day or per week. 820 people died from CV in Victoria, ever. And we were the worst state by far.

People seem to be OK discussing hundreds of daily deaths from Covid as if that's something that can't be prevented, but it could have been. Our lockdowns have literally saved tens of thousands of lives here.

That's definitely true. Time to reintroduce Scalzi's take on the subject:

I'd say that anyone capable of discussing this case and its implications is capable of reading the word "fuck" uncensored without being corrupted any further than by reading "f--k"
I'm sorry, I have a hard time believing we don't have enough 'experts in the field'. The number of scientist working at these few companies is minuscule compared to the greater academic world. It's not a lack of capable experts, it's the lack of dissemination of critical knowledge to these experts. We should be approaching this scientifically and sharing this information to institutions worldwide, not letting a few western companies profiteer off a global pandemic.

What if the situation were reversed? What if another country like China developed the vaccine first while people in the west died because we didn't have access to the vital information we needed to make it ourselves and Chinese companies wouldn't share it for those same reasons? Would you still agree?

Theology-driven (in bio) person starts a "justice-orientated" non-profit while admitting in the same sentence that she knew nothing about "Critical Social Justice" or "Critical Theory". //This would be a little bit like starting a web hosting provider while "knowing nothing about DNS, or HTTP"

Gets a lot of criticism on her approach. //Unclear if this is fair or not. We don't know what they did and the criticisms she is describing are very vague.

Decides that because she doesn't understand the critics, it must be that they don't want to actually fix anything, they just wanted control of the organization.

Weaponizes the language that oppressed minorities use to carve out a semblance of agency in a discriminatory world in bad faith. //"Did you just assume my sexuality" is a 4chan-level troll, and as much of a cliche as her pinned tweet equating racism with talking about racism.

I could go on but the key point is this person's story is a Choose Your Own Adventure for Outrage.

If you already agree with her you read this and think "how horrifying, we must do everything possible to prevent this". If you don't, you stop reading the first time she uses the term "Woke" and realize there will be nothing credible that follows other than non-specific vague allegations of boogymen SJWs and cancel culture.

The word woke has been completely appropriated. Not a single "woke" person I know would ever describe themselves as woke anymore. It has been completely appropriated by bad faith actors who use it as a blanket statement for basically everything they disagree with. A bit like US Republicans saying the MLB moving the All-Star game is an example of "cancel culture".
Inequality is the water balloon argument - that for one side to go up, the other side has to go down. It's fixed amount thinking.

Poverty is the water source argument - let's just have more water flow so that those that want to keep it in buckets can do so without affecting anybody's ability to drink. That's floating amount thinking.

Money is a floating concept not a fixed one. The fixed amount is the amount of hours a person has in a day.

Poverty is solved by distributing needs by hours and relegating money to the distribution of wants.
I don't think this was a failure of Plan9, they just never intended it to be the case. After all, there is no reason to support c++, etc., when many other systems already do that quite well. The goal of Plan9 was to create new systems that would take computers in a different direction, and to do this it is better to avoid legacy.

These "security questions" that Experian is asking aren't questions you previously given answers to, they are questions that are generated based on what they know about you based on your credit report and data from other databases. They might ask you about loans you have or had, people and phone numbers you are "associated" with, places you've lived, cars you've insured, etc.
As I’ve commented above, “conflicting sensors” doesn’t make much sense as an argument. If sensors A and B conflicted, you could just ignore sensor B and get performance at least as good as just having sensor A.

Does sensor B have enough other benefits to outweigh the costs of adding it? I don’t know, but that’s the actual crux of this problem.

does anyone have knowledge of whether, once a battery starts losing capacity, does it do so in accelerating speed? My experiences with laptop and phone batteries suggest that they do. It took a couple of years for batteries to be reduced to 85% capacity, but from there it took only half a year for them to diminish to 60% or 50%.

> Obviously we can find examples of members of the GOP that are against gay marriage

The party platform is the official stance of the Republican party and it is against same sex marriage. It won't change until 2024. Republicans who support it are extreme outliers, not the other way around.

Less than half of Republicans support same sex marriage.

The headline brings up this thought:
I find the recent rise in the use of "missinformation" very Orwellian.
The very authorities that have failed to keep our personal data safe from abuse by big tech, failed to keep lead out of our water, failed to stop giving banks our money when they fuck up, failed to properly keep the pandemic under control, and countless other massive failures of leadership, are to be trusted in managing the flow of information?
I remember a few years back during one of the government shutdowns, a volunteer was mowing the lawn of the national mall because they couldn't pay the grounds keepers.

I think our "authoritative sources", from the media, to the government have failed us at every level. I do not trust their definitions of "missinformation" to be anything but self serving.
> The last time methane levels were this high, it was at least 800,000 years ago

The climate went through an ice age for most of the past 1 million years. As you point out in #3, an ice age glacial is infinitely worse for life on earth than mild warming. The climate prior to the Quarternary period was better for life in almost all respects. The ice age was brutal, caused mass extinctions, and nearly decimated humans as well. It also froze up so much water that virtually all of Canada and most of Russia was buried under a mile thick ice sheet. So of course, sea level was 400 meters lower than present. Much of that melting occurred with the onset of the Holocene, which has been the prevailing climate regime for only the past 12k years or so. At some point during the ice age, CO2 levels also dropped dangerously low, to 180ppm, a near record low for life's entire existence on this planet. Below 150ppm, plants die entirely. Their productivity and growth is hampered by both freezing temps and low CO2. It was so low plants could not grow at all above certain elevations that are covered in alpines today.

CO2 is not dangerous for life on earth. It is a fundamental nutrient for plant life. The optimal periods for life on this planet have all been marked by an abundance of CO2. The only mild risk from mild warming is rising sea levels. That has been documented to be holding steady at 1 foot of sea level rise per century for the past few hundred years. Much smaller than the meltwater pulse at the Younger Dryas 12k years ago. Humans have continually delt with sea level rise since we invented agriculture. It's not the doomsday event it is painted to be and the trend has not accelerated in some sort of feedback loop as was claimed 30 years ago. The trends are linear, not exponential.

I wish I could say with certainty that we have disrupted the 100K year glacial cycle. That would be incredibly good news.
Unfortunately, volcanoes have a way of ruining the party. There is absolutely no evidence that a volcanic cycle cannot kick in at any moment and plunge earth in a continual regime of thick dust and particulates that increase condensation, reduce solar irradiance, and cause temps to drop by 5-10 degrees globally for the next 100K years.

Once upon a time, when cash back ran benefits were in the 6% range. I bought prepaid visas from a retail store. And ran them through some merchant account. About $50K went in a circle every day and I kept the spread of almost 4% if I recall. I had to pull some other accounting tricks to make sure it did not accrue tax liability in the process but it was actually fairly impressive once I hit a certain volume I knew I tripped the alarm with the credit card issuer. They changed their entire card benefits in a way that was obviously related to blocking the activity I was doing.

- A real remote. Not going to use my phone to control things.

- Good search. When I search, I want results from most of the apps - so I can find out which ones have the show/movie I'm looking for (with an indication of price).

- Good support from all the major services: Youtube, PBS, Plex, Netflix, all the major TV channels (HGTV, ABC, CBS, etc).

- Easy to install my own app without militant control from the manufacturer.

- Affordable ($25-35), and not integrated into my TV.

- Can use in hotels/motels - this is critical (Roku generally wins big here - Chromecast totally fails).
Tell me brother, tell me the thoughts on the outside of this San Franciscan echo chamber.

+1 If you've never seen or riden a camionetas it's hard to describe!

I go (or used to) Guatemala a lot and the Camionetas are so insanely scary! Going over huge mountains, roads with giant holes in them, tipping this way and that, filled 3x per seat or omre with mounds of carrots and cargo on top. lots of times the money guy hangs out the front entrance while it's driving!

They go SO fast it's super scary to me I'm surprised I haven't seen one tip over on those corners or bust a brake and run off the mountain.
For enums that don't have 'associated values', nothing.
It's a no-brainer, because whether you have a credit card or not, you're paying for those trips every time you purchase something.
Seems like valid concerns to me. Who is taking the batteries and putting them into grids? Do we reach a limit and then what if there’s no market to buy them? If the world is going to change over to EVs, that’s a big scale of a problem that needs to be thought through or bad things will happen.
