> 90/90 would translate to a 87F dew point -- which is not a record, but it's pretty close, and there's a good chance it would be lethal to unprotected humans

That would come as a great surprise to the millions of people who live in places like Houston, Texas or Miami, Florida, where 90/90 is common. (And that's only places in the US, since those are what I'm familiar with from doing HVAC testing years ago. Around the world there are many places that are even worse.)

> normal in a place like Phoenix Arizona might be 110F but 20% RH.

Yes, but Phoenix is a desert climate, not a hot, humid climate. There are many places that have hot, humid climates.

Events like this happen and yet no on wants to adopt nuclear energy. Instead the narrative is natural gas supplemented by wind, solar, and batteries all of which cause more environmental destruction. Even in catastrophic nuclear failures, nature inevitably reclaims the land. On the other hand Solar panels and wind farms decimate local wildlife populations and require large amounts of land use - not to mention the mining operations.

Lambda does provide a level of convenience via abstraction that EC2 doesn't: just provide inline code, an S3 hosted zip file or, recently, an ECR image and it's off and running.

I doubt this is a difference marker for most medium to large sized customers though. Making a wrapper for invoking uploaded code is trivial and if done on EC2 doesn't come with the baggage of Lambda (cold starts, costlier expense, more challenging logging and debugging, lack of operational visibility, etc)
It's $75 for an RPi 4b with 8GB of RAM! And from my experience it's quite powerful enough for a lot of "serious things", including most casual desktop computing needs. And it's only $35 with 2GB of RAM, which is all you need for all sorts of headless server tasks.

So I really don't get where you're coming from.
Not necessarily. I think it is probably best, for example, that my microwave is not also a calendar.
Regulations not just on environmental and operational aspects but also on things like pricing, who to sell to (was recently relaxed for these bids), what quantity, when they will pay ( Government is not that prompt, you cannot do much about it) etc.

The Government pretty much owns most of the demand (power plants), transport (Railways), the largest player (Coal India) so the economics can become really distorted
Wow.

I stand corrected.
This claim loses significance when you consider 70% of Ethiopia's water resource is in the Nile basin. There is no development without using that water.
It’s a position definitely represented by real policy makers, and that actual cities have attempted to implement. It’s not accurate to call it a straw man.

The converse of your complaint is true - people pretending the extremes don’t have any power, and using the benign version of the phrase as cover.

Who wouldn’t agree with channeling funds to more appropriate professionals to deal with non-criminal situations that the police are currently drawn into?

The problem is not with this reasonable sounding policy objective. It’s that there are real policy makers who do mean abolish.

Paywall article so I’ll just share a random interesting fact.

Solar is so prevalent in Australia that power prices regularly go negative as supply exceeds demand. One interesting thing that is starting to happen is companies like Tesla build huge battery banks and buy cheap or negative price power and then sell it back a few hours later when it is much more expensive.

Roughly 75% Rye as base malt for the body, then 25% golden naked oats. Mash at 163F (not a typo). Water profile with a lot of Chloride, though I use tap water because my city water is really good.

The heros that rescued those kids came up with a preposterous and unreasonable plan. We could have ignored them, too. And ignored the drilling crews, and the dudes with miles of hose and giant pumps. We could have said that any rescue would require an unreasonable effort.

It sure is easy to slip "we" all over that paragraph. I certainly don't deserve any credit for the decisions that were made and the heroics that saved the day.

But if we reject all the unreasonable efforts, we are left with the status quo. That would mean those kids wouldn't have even been located, let alone rescued. Thank goodness for people who flew around the world to do crazy things. Thank goodness for divers who ditched their wives on their anniversary and flew over there just on the chance they might carry the bottles for the Navy experts. Those are not reasonable actions.

Sorry, but this is really not suitable for much. There is so much wrong with this implementation that I’m not sure where to start. Every call to your template writes to a single file called “index.html”[1] which is then copied to another file when “written”[2]? You also print exceptions rather than allowing people to handle them as they wish.

The idea is nice, but try and remove all file system calls and do this entirely in-memory. This may mean completely changing the API.

To be a bit more pessimistic - the competition that's driving out coal isn't just renewables. It's more efficient and cheaper fossil fuels, most notably natural gas. These are way better than coal in carbon emissions, but won't get us nearly low enough unless they are in turn replaced by renewables fairly quickly

The issue is: there are treaties that split water rights between countries, but flooding beyond 100% of capacity at any given point isn't counted.

Egypt has been taking advantage of this, allowing the "overflow" from their dam/lake nassar to be syphoned off into the desert, to the extent of trying to develop an entirely new drainage valley into farmland.

It is a mega project.

Any upriver country that is able to divert the "overflow" water before it gets too Egypt can keep it.

So it's basically an argument over who gets to keep the surplus in the water balance of the river.

>[1]Use of Nile resources is governed by the Nile Basin Initiative; but the Toshka project does not breach the agreement as water is diverted from Lake Nasser only after heavy water flows upstream have raised lake levels above 178 metres (584 ft) (see above).

Well there’s an argument that there’s not a lot gained by going fully autonomous for huge machines. These huge trucks are like $5 million apiece not including sensors and hardware and software for automation, and so hiring a human to operate them (or even just babysit them) for $20-30/hour (typical dump or coal truck operator wage) seems like a pretty obvious idea. Which doesn’t mean people aren’t automating mining trucks… they are! But there aren’t huge cost savings in terms of labor.

I guess I’m just saying that scaling up your smaller machine to be larger has the same kind of productivity enhancements as switching your smaller machine to autonomous. It is also something humans have been doing ever since the development of domestic beasts of burden.

You can see it at the state level. Kids in Texas and Florida went to school in the fall of 2020. Kids in New York and California did not. And there are many other contrasts regarding policies on public events, mask requirements, restaurant logistics, and much more. But there doesn’t seem to be a significant difference in the resulting infection and death statistics.

I live in Texas. I was assured by all the talking heads and enlightened types that when the governor reopened the state and eliminated all mask mandates, it was snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It was premature, short-sighted, and unnecessary, they raved. I was assured we would be stacking bodies at the doorstep. None of that turned out to be the case.

For me personally I find the endless "Linux desktop wars" to be disappointing. It doesn't matter, this stuff is open source, if you really want it to be fixed then just go write a patch. But in my experience most people will just take a few minutes to switch to one of the many alternatives.

I'm just relaying what other people have told me, these type of forums are full of uninformed comments, and are not a good place to solicit feedback. You could hope that maybe an Apple engineer would read it but they probably won't. You would have better luck sending them feedback through their official channels, where you know they will read it. If you're giving feedback to a YC startup then this would be a good place, but otherwise not so much.
Perhaps a different road to the same problem but on K8s it’s really simple to install a FaaS (e.g., Kubeless and others) provider and get the same benefits. Different metrics sure, but the approach to getting deployable runtimes is the same (if using Serverless framework for example).

Of course then you need a cluster which may be back at AWS as EKS (or not) but at least it’s more open from that perspective.
They’re not really comparable. OSM on its own is basically a database, and an ecosystem with some apps of varying quality built on top.

It's because the optimistic narrative about the reasons for coal's decline are misleading.

Some of the competition is renewables. A lot of it is natural gas. Countries are usually building a mix of fossil fuel and renewable generation.

If you're a great power, have little natural gas or oil accessible by land (either in your own territory or through friendly neighbors), and have peer rivals with enormous navies, coal becomes very attractive as the fossil part of your energy mix for security reasons.

Japan gets more flak because it's physical and historical isolation plus high cultural homogeneity have resulted in unique societal quirks.

Going to western Europe feels like the US. Going to Japan from the west still feels like traveling the world once did. Its unique culture is appreciated worldwide, even from closest neighbors.

They had smartphones almost a decade before we did. They had high speed rail before anyone else . Manga and anime are now worldwide, but they were born in Japan. Kawaii has spread to south Korea and to some extent the west, but it was born in Japan. Hanko instead of signatures is unique. Bowing. Onsen. Sumo. Vending machines. Much of the food... There's countless examples.

> The US Government won’t approve of such an action.

While the Biden Administration is less absolutely in line with Egypt than Trump was on the issue, they only seem to be relatively deemphasizing GERD to apply more pressure on other humanitarian and security issues with Ethiopia. While I can't see them sanctioning a unilateral attack, absent some UNSC resolution that gets both sides onboard, I can't see them taking action against Egypt, even by way of anything more than symbolic at the UN, over it.
