The internet has moved to be mobile-first, media-rich, and optionally asynchronous. IRC didn't adapt, though I'm still hopeful for matrix.org.
Also of interest is the Mari Native Religion which is practiced in the Mari El Republic of Russia[0]. I believe this is the only example of an indigenous religion surviving with continued practice into the modern day. RT made a documentary about it[1].

What does it mean to 'cut' emissions by 45%?

Is that relative (e.g. to total production)? Is it an absolute number (e.g. N tons CO2)?
Does this take company growth into account?

What if Shell split off their CO2 production business in another company (e.g. Shell RED), does the original company now have 100% less CO2 production (e.g. Shell GREEN)?

I get your point but I don't think not having friends to talk to about a piece of media with is necessarily a good reason not to engage with it.
It’s a far less confusing experience than it was pre streaming services. You basically paid for an unknown item - you did not even know which content was going to be available or when it would be available.

Now you can search for what you want to watch, follow the prompts, and it shows you the price, and you agree or disagree. And then you cancel if you do not want it anymore. Some of the purchasing flows can surely use more work, but it’s leagues better than it used to be.
Make all content available at a flat rate per minute streamed owed to the content creator. Maybe let the creator set the rate for the first N years (with a cap) if they want to capitalize on a new release etc. I would throw money at a service that had Everything(r) on it.
Yep. Agreed completely. Even early 2000’s shows like Smallville and The Flash have been pretty safe and fun.
How meta would that be to see Amazon Basics products on their movies/shows. I think that would be too much.
"Ruling will only hold in the Netherlands".
I can see Shell just exiting the Netherlands rather than lowering emissions by 45% globally.

>> It makes perfect sense.

> To repeat myself, not in the context of what you replied to. If you understood that it works the way you now clearly understand it to, you would immediately see that it does not solve the problem you claimed it did.

It solves the problem of China MITMimg iOS packages. That is the context.

>> This is a false statement. There is literally no evidence anywhere to support the idea that China is signing iOS packages delivered to devices.

> I provided link from an Apple employee saying as much.

That’s a lie. They don’t say anything of the kind. If they did you’d be able to quote them

> None of the links you have supplied substantiate the claim that iOS devices trust a key from the great firewall.

> The quora link says iOS devices trust a key from the Chinese government.

A browser certificate. This has nothing to do with packages from the iOS App Store. I believe you understand the difference.

> Where that key exists is irrelevant.

It is relevant. The Chinese key iOS devices trust doesn’t enable them to MITM App Store packages..

> What I showed is that your claim that China cannot MITM iOS packages is false.

You haven’t shown this. It’s seems like just a lie.

You have pointed to a key which can’t sign packages, and a conversation where nobody says anything indicating that China can MITM packages.

Neither of these are evidence they can do this. If you have real evidence feel free to present it.

>> your claim is that China can sign iOS packages without Apple’s knowledge, which is a very different issue.

> I showed how they can, and you have not disputed it.

You have claimed China can MITM iOS packages but you have provided no evidence to support this claim. The links you provided don’t support the claim. It looks like you’re just lying.

> You only said that I haven't given evidence that they are, which I never claimed.

Also false. You said the link to the Apple employee’s statements supported this claim.

Me: “There is literally no evidence anywhere to support the idea that China is signing iOS packages delivered to devices.” You: “I provided link from an Apple employee saying as much.”

Well you're on the internet right now, using a technology which has done more than any other to make selling drugs, money laundering, human trafficking, and pedophilia easier. Are you okay knowing you are complicit in supporting that infrastructure?

We for the most part have exponentially more and better content in tv and film, and for MUCH cheaper and with more convenience than 10-15 years ago.

But still people insist that they must pirate because the "studios" for some amorphous reason related to preexisting hatred of corporations or whatever.

Some people would just prefer to not pay for shit I guess. I just wish they'd be more honest about it than the mental gymnastics used to defend piracy.

There's a lot of good ones! One of my favorites, a retro computer that gained sentience: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-079

> Description: SCP-079 is an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer built in 1978. In 1981, its owner, (deceased), a college sophomore attending , took it upon himself to attempt to code an AI. According to his notes, his plan was for the code to continuously evolve and improve itself as time went on. His project was completed a few months later, and after some tests and tweaks, lost interest and moved on to a different brand of microcomputer. He left SCP-079 in his cluttered garage, still plugged in, and forgot about it for the next five years.

Firstly, never and never in your lifetime are two very different timespans.

Second, just because those houses from 2008 recession are now worth more than in 2008 doesn't mean they have been steadily increasing in value since 2008. There have definitely been downturns in the property market. One in particular that springs to mind is the impact of Brexit on house prices in London. Sure, eventually the price might recover to the point that homes are worth more than pre Brexit. But if you are trying to sell in the meantime that drop can have a significant impact on your ability to move.
I mean OK, but I don't live in HN (or any news outlet for that matter) so it's not such an unfair question.
Again, good! We want more sources of energy to emerge to replace fossil fuels. If burning carbon becomes more expensive, then hydrogen, nuclear, wind, solar, etc. become more competitive.
Up to a point. Cancer is the result of multiple mutations to growth regulation genes and immunogenic factors that collectively lead to immortal cell lines that are able to evade the immune system. The more mutations you introduce to try to immortalize your cell lines, the closer they get to becoming pathologically cancer.
Institute a carbon tax that increases at a linear rate and use the revenue to subsidize clean electrical generation and storage mechanisms (battery and pumped storage), EV subsidies, EV charging infra (both for light and heavy vehicles), and invest in ammonia production from renewables for marine applications. Air travel should be disincentivized whenever possible with a similar tax until cleaner alternatives are developed. Support robust building energy efficiency improvement measures (heat pumps, insulation, and similar). Require carbon neutral or negative concrete production. Rapidly scale up polysilicon production to meet solar PV manufacturing needs (we need ~600GW of solar PV produced and installed annually to meet climate targets, a 4x increase from current production capacity).

There will be some petroleum consumption remaining, and in the short term we’ll need to tax that at a rate that pays for the removal of the resulting carbon using air source carbon capture (Climeworks and similar). I believe the current cost of that is $600 per ton of CO2 based on Climeworks’ letter to Stripe notifying they completed their initial removal objective they were contracted for.

With all that said, the planetary climate doesn’t really consider GDP as a worthwhile metric, so perhaps we should revisit it as well (compared to having a functioning, stable ecosystem to exist in).

This is good! What else is a court supposed to do? If She'll exits the Netherlands than all the better for the Netherlands.
(Royal Dutch) Shell is based in the Netherlands. I doubt they'd "blacklist" themselves.

The Netherlands is part of the European Union, whose members can trade freely between each other. Trying to cut off oil from the Netherlands would also require cutting it off to France, Germany, Spain, etc.

Who would enforce such a silly action in any case? Presumably the government and army of the Netherlands wouldn't want to cut itself off; in which case, what would prevent anyone with lorries, boats or planes from bringing in "oil or oil based products" (at a hefty markup)?
Right, what’s next? A ban on drunk driving? No more littering? Forbidding domestic abuse?
If you're going to disregard my problems I'm not going to listen to yours. How about that?
What is more, Shell already planned to divert investments from fossil fuel to renewables.

The court ordered them to do this earlier and in larger numbers.

That would be like IKEA telling you "we don't have those shelves. See, were already working on selling less wooden furniture over the coming ten years, but the court ordered us to this now. So we now already have these awesome cardboard shelves for you. And next year we'll have plastic and metal ones too".
I did find that out afterwards, but because of the way the comment was phrased, it wasn't at all obvious. I would probably have said something more like:

Many claims by copyright predators go through the courts in Munich and Koeln which seem to rubberstamp every case. Cunts from Waldorf Frommer being among the most notorius. If only the healthcare, local administration and other services in Germany were working so seamlessly...
This seems like a slippery slope. Should the makers of junk food also be held liable for impacting the health of countless individuals? The research has been out there for decades.

It’s hard to judge them for making money while operating within the laws we design.

Yeah, thank god my country is not among this group. We have better things to do than police imaginary american property.

People are literally hungry and yet this guy is here talking about copyright bullshit. I wish I could find this article again...
I'm not sure that's fair.

Living in any decent size single family home closer to work in the Bay Area is punishingly expensive. I'm not willing to downgrade the family's living conditions by moving to a vertical shoebox (townhome) or concrete honeycomb (apartment complex) in order to do it. The crushing commute is a trade-off, and I would jump at the opportunity to not have to make that trade-off.
I did a full rewatch of SG1 a few years ago, and what surprised me is how instantly the show found its footing. If you watch the first and last season of any Trek show, you can see how the writing and characterization takes a while to settle into place. Character development is part of that, but it goes beyond that.

If you watch the first and last season of SG1, the writing has its footing nailed down immediately. Not many shows find their footing so effortlessly.
That was one of Freenode’s greatest strengths. And now it seems like it will instead be one of Libera’s greatest strengths.
And again you're missing the point.

I'm not disputing that it would give an increase in creativity, but it would open countless doors for huge corporations to completely exploit creatives. You're encouraging a situation where it becomes completely nonviable to be an artist commercially. It's already bad enough as it is at the moment with Spotify et all pocketing the vast majority of proceeds.

It's shocking to me that you're willing to completely overlook the fairness of the system in return for 'more art'. It is not appropriate whatsoever to strip ANYONE of their ownership of a piece of art they have created. Why do you feel entitled to that?

On the page you mention selling worldwide. But the simplicity of the paylink break down when you sell worldwide, as you have to both collect and remit taxes for each country (as in find a way to to fill the paperwork and pay taxes in separate countries).

That’s an additional service to find and connect if you use stripe, sadly.
That’s why when we launched Lab Surprise [0], with 19 apps from developers in several different countries, selling worldwide our bundles, we ended up using Paddle: they are the merchant of record, collect and remit the correct taxes in each country. Yes, it’s 5%+0.5cts but for us it was worth it.

I’m pretty sure many sellers using Stripe paylinks will just never do the proper remittances in countries that are not their country of origin, but that might end up bitting them hard.

Making tax remittance invisible is what can unleash instant worldwide micro-stores without hidden task risk

Then perhaps a comment along the lines of "This is really neat! I'm so glad to see someone else doing this; I originally patented something akin to it and then (never used it/did and here's the thing I built), and it's awesome to see continued development in this area".

As it is, it's not clear what your intent is (hence my question). You aren't congratulating them. You aren't expressing excitement. To your credit, you also aren't claiming they're infringing, though it begins to approach it.

I wonder how much head start the Chinese labs had vs February of 2020 in terms of sequencing the virus. (I'm not trying to make any remotely xenophobic claims here, but it seems like there is substantial evidence that something unusual was happening in Wuhan as early as late fall of 2019.)

The rest of your comment stands strongly, but I'm not so sure about "the first weekend" as being entirely correct and repeatable.
It's not all that strange. Many projects or organised groups of people have a "home", call it an HQ if that's easier.

It might not jive with the dictionary definition of a home, but it's a term that's long been used to indicate the central gathering place of (online) communities. Much like how a personal website can be your "home" on the web.
I was simply referring to the marketing copy in the linked Tweet.
I just think the conventional definition of Europe makes sense. Narrower definitions are too ephemeral for my taste, with countries constantly being absorbed into and breaking out of empires as they wax and wane, whereas the Ural mountains aren't going anywhere soon.

That said, to address the point that started the discussion, I think it's just silly to use "there exists some Muslim country somewhere else" as some kind of gotcha against German critics of Islam. The Ottomans were milling around Vienna for a long time, that's a whole lot closer than either Bosnia or Kazan.

I’m not familiar with the video editing field. But it seems like a product that can edit the logos/item to be advertised for various markets could be valuable.
