If the FTC did file prematurely for political reasons they should've known that the case didn't have a chance. I hope they kept working behind the scenes on a well-formed one. Maybe that was the original plan, rush in with a case to please the Trump administration then follow up with the actual complaint once they finish it. Then again, this may be wishful thinking. Incompetence is a much simpler explanation.
Honestly, not much at this point.... Just don't have the time to commit to a smooth transition.
I don't think what you did was awful, especially since you went to the effort of explaining exactly what was changed and why.

However, I also think there should be space for discourse about the mechanics of the action; however academic that discussion might end up being.

Personally, I think a suggestion to the OP encouraging them to edit the post themself might have been a less controversial method of achieving the same aim.

Depends on the timeframe you choose to measure the social and economic benefits and costs.
I won't argue with you too much on tone, and will try to keep it a bit more technically grounded next time. The NEC 2017 rapid shutdown changes from NEC 2014 (basically, per panel to less than 80V, as opposed to array boundary shutdown) significantly increase cost and complexity in an array, and add a lot more failure points on the roof. You can now no longer do a roof mount system on a totally unshaded roof without the per-panel equipment, and that's a very real cost increase for systems.

For a while, if you had a rooftop system and NEC 2017, there was no way to use the Sunny Boy backup outlets - because they require solar power, and after a rapid shutdown event (which is indistinguishable from a grid failure, from the point of view of the inverter), there was no power left to bring anything online.

However, there's a tech note floating around that explains how to do it: https://www.stellavolta.com/blog/technical-note-sunny-boy-us...

You can provide voltage to the controllers in the inverter externally, though, and have it "open up" the Tigo modules (which handle shutdown among other things) so it can run standalone with the grid down and power the backup outlet.

For a rooftop solution, I think this is probably the sweet spot at the moment, and having done the math on it a while ago, the cost to do Sunny Boy and Tigo optimizers is within a rounding error of the cost of doing the same thing with Enphase microinverters. So, despite having a good bit more hardware, the cost is magically the same. Whatever claims Enphase is making about their cost effectiveness doesn't seem to match the reality, where I can adjust panel capacity vs inverter capacity to fit the system requirements (vs microinverters, which only come in one or two capacities, and if you want something else, well, lol, nobody else left in business so deal with it).

I'm actually a far bigger fan of ground mount solar (which is what I've built for my home - 15.9kW of panel, currently producing about 90kWh/day and producing from sunrise to sunset because most of the panels are east-west facing), and am working with some other people locally to figure out some ways to stamp out "homeowner installed" ground mount arrays that are a basic set of plans and equipment lists. Doing that, we can do solar for $1.25/W or less, which is a huge, huge savings over standard residential solar, which is $2.50/W or more (Tesla claims to come in lower, but won't touch anything the slightest bit complex and it's unclear if they're actually profitable doing that or just trying to drive other companies out of business with venture capital).

None of this makes me particularly popular with the local solar installers, because I'm far, far more interested in getting cheap solar built out than ensuring the installers have their tidy profits and commissions. I got a couple quotes a few years ago around $4/W for a basic roof mount system, and that's just disgusting.
The white boats and yachts that you see are typically glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy, and they seem to be holding up just fine. "Carbon fiber" products are CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), where the composite matrix is fibers in epoxy, and those look fine after decades as well.
Yeah, it was on off-the-cuff thought. It still might be worth exploring. I think it's safe to say that there's still room for improvements in the moderation domain.

your can't just run the windows stuff in a VM? although it helps if you have a beefy enough system, otherwise it can be kind of sluggish if you have a lot of other things open in Linux as well. its a great way to keep windows at arms length though

I totally agree with this, especially the last bit about just the mentality it creates. I wish Anki had an (optional) auto-sync feature (like every 15 mins), but maybe there are too many edge cases for that kind of feature.
How about running ads but not letting them dominate your product? I see nothing wrong with running a costs-plus business model but VC comes in and demand all these stupid companies dominate the world so they can get their 500x return or whatever. Then they go public and now the only thing that matters is shareholder value, fuck the users and OG supporters...

Every one of these companies start with a nice mission and it ends up getting perverted into the hellscape that is tech today. Every damn time.

You're also free to voluntarily associate with individuals who share your views and do so on your own terms. Something made more prevalent thanks to personal freedom. On the Internet, there's no limit to the ways and choices one can make to achieve that. There's no bind on your legs or whip to your back. That can't really be said for the serfs of the Middle Ages.
Yes, when compared to 0k.
We don't have a rampant murder problem, though.

There are exactly two ways to address climate change:

* wait for a natural feedback loop to kick in, i.e. wait for people to start dying. Necessity is the mother of invention, etc.

* artificially stimulate the feedback loop early through legislation, taxes, and real penalties.

One way or the other, the goal is to disincentivize unsustainable behavior such that the people who would be willing to resort said behavior no longer find it worth the risk/expected cost vs the estimated payoff. Yeah, people still murder, but they are a small exception. The goal is to get to that point for ecological damage too.

Personally though, I think it should already be considered a Crime Against Humanity.
>If you're NBC and you're out to make money from advertisement...would you get more views showing spotlights of athletes from random countries...or spotlight of athletes from the US?

If it had a mature audience, and not provincial chauvinists that only know/care for their "heroes" in a sports event, then they'd make money "showing spotlights of athletes from random countries" too, like it happens all over the globe.

>I guarantee you China isn't doing a spotlight on US athletes

Don't know about China, but I've seen the Olympic games TV coverage over the years from several countries in Europe, Asia, and the US too, and , and only the US cancels out the rest of the world in their coverage. Others get the full picture, enjoy profiles and full coverage of events involving "not their own" athletes, and so on.

If China does the same, that's their loss, but it's not some standard the US is OK for following...

browser-native lazy loading is now good enough to be considered optimal

The problem is that Google Page Speed dings you for not having lazy loading, and people add crappy JavaScript lazy loading that satisfies Google, but makes the user experience worse.

WebP is good iff it improves rendering times (which it does). That's not google's fault really.

The problem has been, until recently, Safari didn't support WebP, so you had to implement a fallback to jpg. More complicated HTML, more images to compress and manage, all for a very marginal improvement.

It's frequently ineffective because it's frequently done mindlessly, because it's possible to do so at enormous scale for low cost.

The equivalent in the online world would be to pay site X to show ad Y at times Q-Z. And then you just trust that they'll do so, like you have to do for print/TV ads, and pay the site. That does happen, and you can find quite a lot of company blog posts out there saying that it works, but it's much more manual so yeah. It isn't the majority.

21 million units of bitcoin have already been issued by the Bitcoin network itself. All the issued bitcoin are released as block rewards equally to anyone who wants to mine them according to the network rules, and all the miners must use energy to pay for them. No one gets them for free or has power to issue more.

Bitcoin is similar to gold in this regard, with the difference that the total amount of gold is practically unlimited and gold is mined with an unpredictable schedule.
We’re quibbling over made-up semantics, but I’d say proposing the utopian vision of the early 2000s internet falls squarely into technobro territory.
We lose a lot more than 2% each year to wasteful policies designed to ensure that investors get their returns.

And if you won't accept food and drink as part of that 2%, consider the more measurable economic costs of the climate of of unrest that these practices create.
Including "solar-radiation management" among sensible activities, and omitting essential gating technologies such as energy storage, taints the whole article. The howlers suggest that it is a "feel-good" piece, or a marketing exercise aimed at making certain tech approaches seem to have the established merits of solar and wind build-out.

Solar-radiation management, in particular, is another name for geo-engineering. It would be a clear disaster if we ever came to depend on it, as any hiccup in performance would subject Earth to a sudden rollback of any benefit, a far worse outcome even than what we are experiencing. (This is as distinguished from, e.g., spreading olivine to absorb atmospheric CO2, or scattering iron dust on the deep ocean surface, where suddenly not doing it anymore would not set us back at all.)

Hydrogen-powered aviation is a clear technical win in the longer term, but any money diverted to that from, e.g., energy storage would be a setback, just as would diverting money from solar and wind build-out in favor of nukes.

Removing CO2 from the atmosphere seems to attack the problem squarely, but fully 10% of the increased heating comes from the remarkably small amount of sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, already released into the atmosphere. (SF6 is 25k times as good at trapping heat as CO2.) There is an industrial replacement for SF6 available now, and apparatus to extract as much as possible from existing equipment for disposal, but what is already in the air is there for many centuries, and it is still being added to.

Similarly, if the existing stock of HFCs were vented, that would produce as much forcing as all the CO2 now in the atmosphere. (HFCs are >2k as good at trapping heat as CO2.) People have instructions to carefully extract HFCs from refrigeration systems being dismantled, but in many places those instructions are ignored. So, some substantial fraction of the HFCs will leak. A replacement for HFCs is in the pipeline, but not in full production yet.

So, just bringing CO2 back to pre-industrial levels would not suffice, even without considering the now-reduced reflectivity at the north pole and increased CH4 emission (25x) from melting permafrost. We need more. Mirrors in space are a dangerous fantasy, as noted above. We can't get the SF6 out of the air. We can't get the HFCs out of the air. We can't remove enough CO2 from the air to compensate for those without causing a different sort of eco-catastrophe.

As it is, it is everything we can do just to build out solar and wind power extraction systems, and, soon, storage for them. We will get electric-fired ammonia production going to fuel ships, and LH2 for aircraft, and carbon-neutral cement, and electric steel production, and get control of CO2 emissions.

But we will need to discover something more.

> It so happens that boarding schools are (were?) a major tradition in the alien British culture.

A very harmful tradition, IMO, even in elite schools like Eton.

In my hypothetical, the aliens consider a hive-mind as an ideal as it would wipe out all wars and conflict, and improve collaboration (imagine if all 20th century mathematicians had a Erdős number of 1, and all his insights retained after the death of his biological unit). All this progress would come at the cost of getting rid of "individualism" - a very backward, romanticized, but inefficient notion that is clearly outweighed by the benefits (in the aliens mind).
It's not the job of the judiciary or the FTC to create new laws. If Facebook is not violating current laws there's nothing for them to do, it would require new legislation.

To call TypeScript, a very strong type system which compiles down to terse JS with no extra JS for even complex types, and thus accordingly removes the need for all sorts of tests, "toolchain bloat" is a fairly one-dimensional view of things

Edit: I accept the downvotes for my tone and have updated it. However, I do feel that by the exact same argument "toolchain bloat" exists, surely one could seamlessly argue "testing bloat" exists, and it should be transparent from the popularity of TypeScript that it's a good tradeoff

TypeScript "magically" fixes the need for defensive programming by ensuring you won't write unsanitary code or invoke functions with possibly null&undefined values by accident. So then clearly the defensive programming is the bloat, because you could avoid it entirely by putting a type system in place to prevent you ever putting yourself in a situation where null&undefined get passed to functions you don't want it to be.
i had pretty much the same feeling about not owning my computer anymore. someone person/people in redmond were deciding my computer should update and not me.

the last straw for me was one time when i had 10 minutes to kill before i headed out the door, so i sat down to do stuff on my computer, but when i turned out in it decided it wanted to update, and took most of the 10 minutes to do that. so dumb

Which seems to give a free pass to developed countries to just keep doing what they're doing as long as it's not outside the norms of what developed countries think is acceptable.

I'm not sure that it should: I mean banning driving isn't workable, but at this point burning fossil fuels for transportation is an economic choice. Giving up on fossil fuels doesn't mean giving up on cars, it means embarking on a slow and expensive transition to better cars.

Operating systems would quickly develop "multi noding"; binding multiple node identities to a host, and then partitioning those among the interfaces.

Separate IPs for different adapters is a good idea, and needed for NAT: e.g. a home router being 192.168.1.1 inward-facing, and having some external IP. I
I doubt this is going anywhere. The "Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide" is a private group with no official status.

As the article does explain, one of the governments who have ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC has to formally propose it, and then two-thirds of those governments have to vote in favour of that proposal. Close to zero chance you would get two-thirds votes for this.

Few governments are going to support turning the International Criminal Court into an international environmental regulator. Its existing expertise is in investigating crimes against humans (genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity); it has little expertise in environmental issues.
Nah. These are all predominantly branched and/or cyclic carbon chains, with a few heteroatoms scattered in for effect. They probably burn well, they might smell nasty, but they are not going to be explosive. Explosives (or "energetic materials" as they are known in the trade) are generally all about stuffing as many nitrogen and oxygen atoms as possible into your molecule; take TriNitroToluene as an example, it has 7 carbons, 3 nitrogens and 6 oxygens, and that's fairly mild.

What these structures remind me most of is what you would find in a sour heavy crude oil. In fact, I can guarantee the person who named this website has never looked at high resolution mass spectroscopy analysis (like an FTICR-MS) of any type of petroleum, or they would have named it "this chemical is probably being pumped out of the ground right now".
