> The push back is culture and practice of "we are all adults here" and that influences the language

It's strange that a general idea expressing (assuming?) overarching maturity has led to quite so many petulant arguments, wouldn't you say @ketozhang?
And that's why we don't use "but Nature did it first" as a justification in moral discussions.
Really? For me switching process was long, but now that I’m vegan, I can’t tell you how much I enjoy the food I eat. Also, there was never an easier time to switch, so many substitutes (if you need them), so many great vegan restaurants (at least where I live). Again, variety of food, options, the flavours..just have to discover new things.

Btw, I was hardcore meat eater most of my life, but then things changed, I realized what I’m eating, what impact it has on my health, on the environment and it just started feeling wrong.

When I was growing up, my mother was at IBM designing software for the space shuttle, and the street next to my house was named IBM. I was named after one of their senior engineers. So the company played a big part in my childhood and was ever present in the community, and we still have lots of IBM space swag stored away in the attic, including the silver snoopy given to my mom during her time there. The stock grants paid for our education, and my mom still lives off the pension they had. The early 90s was such an optimistic time.

At some point IBM sold off the unit, vacated the office block, and the street was renamed to that of the new company that moved in. Eventually, all the shuttle workers would be laid off after the demise of the program, so it's sad to see how it all ended.
Where do these sources establish that logistically effective mitigation is also cost effective? That is the real question we should answer. Does the benefit exceed the cost?

There are several possibilities: (1) Climate change is true and humans can stop it. (2) Climate change is false. (3) Climate change is real but humans can not stop or reduce it enough at this point in a cost justified way, i.e. the costs of mitigation exceed the damage done by climate change.
I had trouble with this back then. I used a home-baked email sender, emails looked good in mail tester and several mail clients, and yet, some of my test gmail addresses got the email in the Inbox, and some of them in Spam. I have no idea what was different.
In any business to business contract, don't be afraid to negotiate aggressive payment terms. I learned that the hard way with my first client being net-15. The higher the payment takes the settle, the more trade credit you are offering your client, increasing their PAYDEX score while messing with your cash flow. Ask for at least half up front.
Obviously the targets will be different for different routes. If you assume that's 400 packages delivered to 400 separate single family homes then it doesn't work. But if it's 400 packages delivered to 200 apartments/condos served by 20 mailrooms, that's doable.

We often get two or three Amazon packages in one delivery. There are easily 20+ packages dropped off all at once in the mailroom of our building most days.

what is a flat tax?

is it something like: "everyone pays 5%"? if so, how does that solve the problem of misreporting?
Let's not conflate the Gates in Balmer era at Microsoft.

The Gates era produced some of the finest software Microsoft ever made, Windows 2000, Visual Studio and Office 2000. They had a real focus on developers, and developer support (remember when MSDN didn't suck?).

In spite of Balmer jumping up and down on stage yelling "Developers!!", he had no idea how to build a software company and subsequently nearly drove it into the ground.
How are you defining delivery? Packages going to the same address? I live in a development of ~100 unit apartment buildings. It will literally take the UPS/FedEx truck all day to go less than a thousand feet through the development, and in that time they're delivering hundreds of packages.

Also, Amazon has a large number of different warehouses that products are shipped from, and it's quite common for different items/orders to not ship together either for that reason or because some items' availability would slow down the others.
That's not true. I've been a service employee too. You typically get your hourly wage in the paycheck resulting in >$0 paycheck, even with tax withhold.

>In which case, barely over $7

Right, so tipped waitstaff only make $2.83/hr is not true.
Salt from roads is seriously contaminating our environment and significantly impacting farming in more and more areas.

Ever hear of the Romans salting the earth of people the conquered? It was so they couldn't grow crops - yet we routinely do this to ourselves - pretty daft.
Coincidental yes. I was not implying causation.
We have been omnivores for tens of thousands of years. Part of the reason we were so successful at colonizing the planet was due to our omnivorous nature.

People with a vegan ideology (not just a vegan diet) have an exceptionally narrow comprehension of the nature of food as culture, as it relates to cost and convenience, and the true ecological impacts of any sort of agriculture.

Ideas like this:

Well, part of it might be intentional.

The other part might be just the organic result of shoving the complications of varying hourly load and varying worker availability week-to-week onto those willing or desperate to work extra hours.

There are probably good ways to apply AI to software development (has anybody tried to build a linter already?). It is this product that is very bad.

It's like any other business - you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket - either with suppliers, clients/customers, or employees. Optimally a freelancer will not be stuck with one client.
If I understand correctly, then I would say it's your choice to perpetuate owning a pet, specifically a dog. And in fact, as pointed out elsewhere in this thread, with careful planning dogs can be plant based, and there are even synthesized amino acids available that normally only come from animals but can be grown from yeasts and mushrooms. So you can have your dog and not need to support killing other animals.
No, their dog would chase down and kill animals wherever they are, poor farming conditions or not, of their own volition. Animals are interested in eating meat, full stop. How that meat is raised is consequently of no interest to them, though it may be of interest to you.

Technically, if we weren't blocking dogs from leaving the house, they would be out there and eating anything they could get their paws on; they would be enacting their will, on other pets, rodents, etc.
We could make some tiny portions of Earth uninhabitable for the next few thousand years. Still much, much better than making the whole Earth uninhabitable forever, which is what we are doing right now.

What's particularly interesting about the Assange case at this point? He's a guy in an extradition hearing, probably like thousands of others. If the end result is the extradition is rejected because of this detail, then it will more than likely be reported as part of that larger story.

Assange has a small but vocal fan base, but fans don't make the minutiae of these court proceedings interesting or relevant to non-fans.

Largest SOLAR desalination plant in the US. The article doesn't seem to list the numbers but this article https://www.businessinsider.com/california-waterfx-solar-des... seems to indicate the next step up from their demo plant was a plant capable of 2M gal/day.

Hopefully they are still developing the technology, it seems like it could be a life-changer for small farming communities around the world.

By contrast the biggest 'traditional' desalination plant in the US makes 50M gal/day and the biggest plant in the world makes around 260M gal/day (US gallons).

Good point and I think it depends on your own values where you draw the line. If you despise Amazon's practices in one "business unit" enough it might warrant moving off AWS. But then, where do you go? I wouldn't be surprised that you could find unethical behavior at the other conglomerates as well.
> they are "independent operators" who are sole suppliers, totally beholden to Amazon.

I guess this is one way to get around regulation of Uber-style independent contractor regulations. I have no idea why someone would start a company this small doing a commodity service with Amazon as your only customer, especially considering Amazon's reputation.
> Google was hiring left and right with comparative ease (as an aside, now they are dealing with the consequences).

In the five years since you left IBM in 2016, GOOG has tripled in value, while IBM has lost 8 percent. I think I know which set of consequences I'd prefer to deal with as an executive, shareholder, or employee.
More people with outdated technology won’t fix it. Key statements below. Note that any change in reporting. Requires updated technology as well.

So if they want to make a real improvement, it cannot happen without a big update to their technology. More humans cannot fix the problem, and they cannot handle more information sources without improved technology.

How that is inaccurate is beyond me.

Paragraph 4: “ In particular, the agency’s siloed and antiquated I.T. ”

Paragraph 6: “ This is because they include, for example, modernizing outdated technological systems”
Say what you want about Amazon as a company, Jeff was a world-class operator and (relatively) drama free for 27 years.

They literally fabricated an entire narrative about Russian collusion out of thin air and pushed it for years despite having little to no evidence. I wouldn’t say they don’t play dirty just because they’ve lost more than they’ve won since 1980
> even at peak IBM it was an office name, not a household name

I'm curious to see data on this. My guess is that in the early to mid 80s, IBM had to have been the top consumer technology brand. At least in knowledge of the brand, even if they didn't own one. Their Charlie Chaplin ads were everywhere, then they spent an enormous amount of money marketing PCjr[1].

[1] - "As part of $32.5 million in advertising for the computer during 1984, it began what the company described as the most extensive marketing campaign in IBM history, in which 98% of Americans would see at least 30 PCjr advertisements in the last four months of the year". (From Wikipedia)

If people separate themselves from nature and do not have personal friendship and daily interaction with animals, I think it is more difficult to care about them generally, based on the social rule of "statistical numbing" where studies have shown that we care more about individual creatures that we know something about than groups that we don't (1,2).

> In its base unit. So cents in USD. Which can be an int64.

Note that if you use cents in the US so that everything is an integer then as long as you do not have to deal with amounts that are outside the range [-$180 trillion, $180 trillion] you can also use double. Double can exactly represent all integer numbers of cents in that range.

This may be faster than int64 on some systems, especially on systems that do not provide int64 either in hardware or in the language runtime so you'd have to do it yourself.
It seems to me that any system predicated on population levels over the pre-industrial standard are a sketchy proposition.

Even at the pre-industrial level, the environmental load has been high. Mediterranean goat deserts, death of large Pleistocene animals in the Americas, whale hunting. You could still have nuclear power, microelectronics, solar energy in a world with a whole lot less human meat roaming around on it.
Nobody who pays attention in the US holds the FBI in high regard, trust me.
I think the dog problem has more to do with you killing animals to feed to your dog. As far as I can tell, vegans don't oppose animals in the wild hunting to survive (i.e. a killer whale).

However, paying for animals to be killed to feed your dog instead of buying vegan dog food seems like it falls under the same umbrella as buying meat for yourself.

[Not really sure how to address obligate carnivores, like cats. Could see a vegan feeding their cat they had meat foods until they died naturally, but getting a cat with the intention of buying meat for it over its lifetime seems non-vegan.]

Would welcome correction if I'm misguided, though.

On modern cpu architectures it can be very difficult to predict running times, due to instruction pipelines and caches. So I don't think this approach will work unless a lot more complexity is added.

> So - you don't use email for communication with actual people?

Nope! I may be cheating somewhat as I'm not counting work communication here, which does involve a decent amount of email, but I only access that inbox through a web browser so I can easily close the tab and be done for the day. I'm also not getting any newsletters to my work inbox.

> Do you mind me asking roughly how old you are? I would like to test my theory that email is generational and it's only the over-(insert number here) that still use it as it was originally intended

I'm 28. All my communication is via messaging apps (iMessage for family as we all have iPhones; WhatsApp for almost everyone else), so I suspect your theory is probably right!

Your assumptions are showing. There are a thousand reasons people keep pets that have nothing to do with either vanity or entertainment.

Pets offer an extremely potent form of emotional therapy, and that is a very personal connection that has nothing at all to do with vanity or entertainment. Both of the latter are typically secondary effects, not primary.

That's how all businesses operate. If you can't make it, you shut down. If you open unprofitable barber shop you will have to shut down too. But I guess it's hard to be upset at people for not wanting your hair cut.

I'm a big fan of the one-touch inbox zero flow, although the way I do it is slightly different.

I have four folders that I organize all incoming email into:

2. Requires Action

3. Keep Eyes On

Anything that doesn't immediately fall into one of these categories gets archived. Any email newsletters are immediately unsubscribed from (with the exception of Ruby Weekly and Python Weekly).

I also use a lot of automated filters/rules for applying organizational labels to different emails.

Outside of the united states you are not part ot the "conspiracy crowd" for distrusting imperialist institutions that attacked their own allies, at least fro most informed Europeans this was a freedom of the press issue and saying that "comments here are verging on very conspiratorial" seems like an overt hyperbole when as far as I have seen they are pretty much citing articles, no Alex Jones style comments so far, to the dismay of those who still hate Assange for some reason/
The problem is that the terms are often not understood correctly or confused. Hispanic, indeed, refers to Spanish speakers... of any race. It includes, for example, Spaniards and some Filipinos.

But GP didn't say Hispanic. He was referring to Latin America, whose people are called Latino.

Neither of the terms carry racial connotations. If you're Argentinian of pure Italian descent, you're still Latino. If you're one of the 2 million Spanish speakers of the Philippines, you're Hispanic. If you're one of the Guarani indigenous languages speakers of Paraguay who doesn't speak Spanish at all you're still Latino but not Hispanic.
Absolutely. Hiding the title and only showing the favicon when you have too many tabs open sucks too—the first 2-3 characters of a title is a much better identifier than a favicon, especially when you have tons of tabs from the same site open. Safari 14 already does this and it drives me insane.

It's a pretty glaring example that "free markets" usually aren't, and often unrelated to government intervention. You have information, you have agency, and you have the thing that the other party wants (money), yet you don't feel free to move away from a supplier who you clearly view as unsuitable[0] because that supplier has gained a market position so dominant through exploiting others.
