>It's fucked up that "it's wrong because that's what Trumpists say" is considered a powerful argument.

>The same as not wanting to publicize the results of the vaccine effectiveness with Trump in office "not to make it seem he should have the credit".

Indeed, last year we had Biden, Harris, and Pelosi all saying they won't trust any Trump vaccine (https://www.newsweek.com/anti-vaccine-covid-trust-skepticism...)

Speaking as a fully vaccinated person, had Trump won reelection, the current relentless media drumbeat over a) how safe COVID19 vaccines are, b) how great the deployment has been, and c) how if you don't get vaccinated yesterday you are an antivax nut and traitor to the human race would be completely different.[1] We'd be hearing a lot more about the "Trump vaccine", both by the Trump administration itself (because it's the one that in March 2020 began Operation Warp Speed, the process of throwing incredible amounts of money at every proposed vaccine that resulted in the happy situation today of the US's massive and growing surplus of shots from multiple manufacturers) and by powerful media and opposition-politics voices continually highlighting every real and imagined fault in vaccines.

[1] The federal government is almost completely uninvolved in the end-user vaccine delivery process. The process since the beginning—i.e., before the election—has been for the federal government to distribute vaccine supplies to each state based on population, with each state's government responsible for everything else.

Just out of curiosity, how does one even custody 100M dollars in crypto markets?

In equities/traditional trading anything above 8 figures allow you to have prime brokerage access (e.g., Archeogos).

For the type of arb trading and yield harvesting OP is referring to (and not throwing shade; just curious), how do you even find any broker or exchange in the crypto space that are willing to custody 100M worth of cash and crypto for long term stat arb, yield harvesting and fund harvesting. Do even the most established crypto exchanges allow you the covered margin to short sell futures and participate in funding harvest and custody the coins for you?

I get OP might be just market making across decentralized exchanges. That scares me honestly more. As you are dealing with more exchanges some of which have more security and exit scam risks.

Don't get me wrong I def. believe there are opportunities in crypto. Just curious if the infrastructure in place makes the type of trading OP talks about safe and accessible to retail.
Clumio Discover: Take AWS data protection to the next level
A Chase survey from January of this year found that 40% of Americans don’t have enough cash on hand to cover a $400 emergency. The NHIS estimated that from 2017-2019 anywhere from 8,500 to 25,000 non-elderly adults died in the US from lack of healthcare coverage. In a 2019 Gallup poll, 25% of US adults said they or a family member had delayed treatment for a serious medical condition during the past year because of financial concerns. As of 2018 there were roughly 550,000 homeless people in the US on any given night. The US has around 25% of the world’s prison population with 698 people incarcerated per 100,000.

But we have freedom and human rights!

> It's not a fallacy, unless you take it out of context. The context was as follows: the grand-grandparent comment pointed out that this change achieves nothing.

This is demonstrably false. The change sends a message, which is certain to be heard. It also signals a position to the local population. You can argue it is not much, but it is not nothing. I would say the effect seems proportional to the amount of time needed to take such a decision.

The actual context was that the mayor should do something useful instead of doing this, which is fallacious as she can do both.

> This response implies that something had to be done (by the mayor) by definition, whether useful or not. And that's what's fallacious to me.

Well yes, it would be fallacious. That's why I did not make that point, and instead referred only to this specific decision. Note that I did not even say that it was a good decision, just that the premise that doing it somehow prevented them from doing something else was flawed.

> Municipal entities aren't really actors in international politics, and when they try playing such a role, the results tend to be dubious. That's my opinion at least.

Municipal entities do not exist in a vacuum. They are shaped by and react to national and international politics. Particularly capitals with embassies and stuff. In a context of increased nationalism and cultural tensions, these things are bound to happen, even though as you say it's not necessarily effective or useful. Changing street names for some political reason really isn't new or remarkable.

> As for your comment - that "people can make more than one decision in a year" - it, in turn, feels like a strawman argument to me, because noone said that they can't.

You should read the thread. Plenty of people are saying just that, and your comment implied it heavily in the context of the discussion.

You seem to want to minimise the consequences and emphasise the costs of the decision. In reality, it does not do much, and does not cost much either.
> Attempting to monetize it feels... wrong

On a long enough timeline, all free and libre services done out of the good will and charitable efforts of contributors and maintainers, will eventually succumb to some sort of monetization strategy. I know in my case, and last time I checked, I don't work for free.

It's actually illegal in some states to acknowledge the land lost to climate change [0]. Part of the reasoning behind this is to sew doubt in the veracity of the climate predictions of the 80s and 90s.

As some people have said, a large amount of coastal land has already been lost to the sea, especially in Florida. This situation is going to take years/decades to really unfold, because, for the most part, it's not like houses will be above ground one day, then under water the next. Instead this will be a gradual process whereby flooding becomes more severe and frequent, yet the ground will be ostensibly "dry" 99% of the time (or underwater only 3 days a year). Then it will be 98% of the time, 97% of the time, etc.

> The collision detection function might be a private method to that class you're in though.

Definitely making things private helps a lot, although its worth noting that classes often aren't maintained by only one person, and they often encapsulate multiple public methods and behaviors. It's still possible to clutter a class with private methods and to have other people working on that class that are calling them incorrectly. This is especially true for methods that mutate private state (at least, in my experience), because those state mutations and state assumptions are often not obvious and are undocumented unless you read the implementation code (and private methods tend to be less documented than public methods in my experience).

Writing in a more functional style (even inside of a class) can help mitigate that problem quite a bit since you get rid of a lot of the problematic hidden state, but I don't want to give the impression that if you make a method private that's always safe and it'll never get misused.

> You also mention you could use a comment. Your comment only does half the job though. It only tells me where the partitioning starts, not where it ends.

In this example, I felt like it was overkill to include a closing comment, since the whole thing is like 20 lines of code. But you could definitely add a closing comment here. If you use an editor that supports regions, they're pretty handy for collapsing logic as well. That's a bit language dependent though. If you're using something like C# -- C# has fantastic region support in Visual Studio. Other languages may vary.

Of course, people who don't use an IDE can't collapse your regions, but in my experience people who don't use an IDE also often hate jumping between function definitions since they need to manually find the files or grep for the function name, so I'm somewhat doubtful they'll be too upset in either case.

> I can no longer have the compiler ensure that the boundaries are set

You may already know this, but heads up that if you're worried about scope leaking and boundaries, check if your language of choice supports block expressions or an equivalent. Languages like Rust and Go can allow you to scope arbitrary blocks of code, C (when compiled with gcc) supports statement expressions, and many other languages like Javascript support anonymous/inline functions. Even if you are separating a lot of your code into different functions, it's still nice to be able to occasionally take advantage of those features. I often like to avoid the extra indentation in my code if I can help it, but that's just my own visual preference.
That article doesn't say anything about how much methane is being released. The fact that it's happening isn't being disputed. The prediction that it will be catastrophic is.
Well, we're right in the middle of one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction

It's pretty hard to say how long they usually take because the fossil record from millions of years ago is difficult to date with good accuracy. For example, I don't think we can say with good confidence whether the asteroid that hit us 66 million years ago killed a large fraction of all living creatures within a year, or whether it took thousands of years or longer.

SSD bandwidth is not really approaching modern memory bandwidth - a computer with one of these will probably have 4 to 8 channels of DDR4 at 25GB/s each with DDR5 released about a year ago. That is 100GB/s to 200GB/s currently and more by the time PCIe 5 becomes a reality.

I am sure if you go back a few years you can find systems that have the same or less memory bandwidth than this has now, but they have both been moving forward enough that SSDs are still not close. That being said, between bandwidth and random access times, swapping out to disk backed virtual memory is very pragmatic and isn't the death of performance it used to be.

We're on track for a roughly 3C increase in global average temperature according to this chart from the IPCC[1] and this [2] from world data.

Basically, having a stack of patches as commits in my local branch.

To be clear, recycling is greenwashing. The problem is consumption. It truly does not matter if we put waste in the correct bin if we do not also dramatically decrease our use of single-use and otherwise disposable goods.

Recycling is a marketing tactic crafted by the tin can industry in the 20th century to dethrone reusable glass bottles for products like beer.

Pretty impressive. And if it can really do 4 GB/s[1] of random write performance is super helpful in database applications.

[1] They quote 1 million IOPS and assuming a 4K block size, which is a good compromise between storage efficiency and throughput, gives the 4GB/s number.
You can't do that right now. Basically what you are asking is to ask a lot of people to lose their jobs, starve, for something uncertain (scientifically proved or not) in the future.

In the same time, the only thing we can do, as individuals, is to reduce the emission from our side. But it's wrong to enforce it upon others.

The closest thing to flat you’re going to find is global CO2 produced per person is nearly flat. Global population has significantly increased, so that still represents growth in emissions but it clearly could have been much worse with massive increases in both population and CO2 per person as the 3rd world industrialized.
I'd lean that way too, but I think that difference in standard is more about legality than philosophy. While archiving articles or using paywall workarounds might have some legal gray areas, it seems to be fairly well accepted. Distributing pirated commercial software, on the other hand, is pretty widely accepted to be illegal copyright infringement. There are cases even with software where it's not so clear: for example, there is some acceptance of distributing "pirated" software that is old, unsupported, and/or no longer for sale (often called "abandonware").

Are you asserting a 'trust' whitelist, a 'distrust' grey or blacklist, or some combination?

Are these assertions publicly visible?

Is there a limit to the number of assertions that can be made?

> Most evidence is not communications. Most crimes have a victim that can testify.

Yes, there is usually evidence that is not electronic. But removing the electronic evidence makes it harder to secure a conviction.

In many cases, the victim's testimony is not enough. If it comes down to the victim's word against the accused's, then we come down on the side of the accused in these cases, because any doubt at all is enough not to convict. To change this we would need to change our entire legal system.

> Otherwise, how did we ever prosecute crimes in a world were people just talked to one another in private?

Communication is not just conversation. Letters and documents are also communication, and leave a paper trail that could be followed. Now, not so much. If all documents are e2e encrypted, we have a problem proving any crime that doesn't leave physical evidence.
