I want to use this or google's module to build an app (ideally node.js) that can track whether im looking at the screen or not and do something about it.

the use case is that I only really consume media (movies) etc when I'm eating so I can multitask. However I hate pausing and unpausing while grabbing my spoonfuls vs chewing and watching.

I would say that Perl burst on the world about 30 years ago, and that what it allowed one to do was so compelling that it spread at tremendous speed. It was out there, it was in use, and any development had to avoid--as far as possible--breaking existing code.

It is possible to write lucid, maintainable Perl, something I have occasionally managed. It is easy to write ugly, unmaintainable Perl, and that I have too often done. If one looks at the Perl found on CPAN or in various good books on Perl, you can see how to do the former.
You could ask the same about other addictive behavior. They do a lot to discourage people from smoking or injecting heroin. The government should force anyone into anything but but as societies we can at least discourage unhealthy behavior to a certain degree. And more importantly offer help to those willing to take it. Actually if you look around on social media there are many people who know their situation is messed up and are looking for ways out. No one cares about them though. No one is helping.

Racial groups are used as vote banks by the two major parties - that's all there is to it. It has nothing to with wanting to help the poor or improve social cohesion, rather the opposite. A divided society is great for the most incompetent politicians since it provides them an easy way to whip up their constituents against other groups and fish for more votes.

Did you know that, when people live together, their blinks tend to synchronize? It's true*.

* For small values of true.
That's true. We have already been dealing with it (the last central american immigrant surge), and NYC had a huge influx of comers from Porto Rico after the last two hurricanes.

Dealing with it is still easier than having your place underwater like 1/3 of Florida might be one day. Places like NYC have to shore up low land areas, but it is still in much better shape than either Florida, Arizona, Southern CA (lack of fresh water, and fires).

Global warming is really going to hit places differently. There is a huge difference between having to deal with the occasional heat wave, or flood, and with having to deal with your whole area being permanently under-water, or complete lack of drinking water.

The mess will not "always be fixed," because we have no parents in this analogy. We are the leaders in this world. You are simply taking on the role of an adolescent shirking responsibility.
Climate change is more than just how mild the winters will become. It is also different weather patterns like heavy rainstorms and the resulting floods.

Cologne Germany is about 50 degrees north and the surrounding areas were hit hard. Zhengzhou China is about 34 degrees north and was also hit hard by flooding. That further south than the Mason Dixon line... more like the latitude of Raleigh, North Carolina.

So sure, lovely to live if you guard against constant potential storms and floods, omni-present ground water, the possibility of several days in a row of 100+ F temps, etc.
30 years of conservatives not understanding what affirmative action is really the reason for this. They often misquote 1970’s affirmative action law which was thrown out by the liberal court. It’s shocking how most people don’t understand affirmative action and it’s rationale. But, then again conservatives aren’t thinking people.
Lack of fresh water in the US is a solvable issue. We have oceans all around us and the US has the know-how to ship fresh, desalinated water from the coast to middle america.
With "more rain" also comes more floods and hurricanes.

Also, gradual changes are definitely not guaranteed. Weather and chaos theory have a lot in common; Small perturbations can cause massively different outcomes. Adding 3°C to the entire planet is not a small perturbation.

Oh, me too. Now it is about managing your personal guilt, which you realize at some level, judging from your comments. For me, I am likely past my lifetime CO2 budget, due to just 5 years of transatlantic flights for work (plus 15 years of driving in the US). I can't undo the damage that I have done, and now I have both eyes open staring into the abyss.

I guess you gotta find low-impact ways of enjoying life. I can recommend slacklining.
Ha, interesting. Yeah it kind of rings a bell. It's amazing the domain still responds.

That confirms there isn't a big market for this... Still happy to use it for myself though.

Statistics:

The UC system has decreased the white student admissions down to 20%. It varies by school. Asian Americans make up 34% and Latinos are 37% of the UC campuses. It does change by campus, for example, white students are 15% at UC Irvine, and 11% at UC Merced.

Additionally, admittance ratio of universities across the nation is 60% women and 40% men, so that means of that 20% of white students admitted to the UC program, only 8% are white males.

Drop the SATs in order to concentrate on "lived experience", and then squeeze out the remaining white males? Or get it down to 1 or 2%?

A friend of mine, took the most difficult advanced courses at the most challenging high school in all of California, did all kinds of extracurriculars, sports, music, volunteering and never got less than an A in a single class. The very hardest classes. Fluent in several languages. Could not get into a single UC school. Would he have been admitted if he was a POC? I don't know, you tell me.

One fun comment from the article: "The shaking issue is so bad the displays in Orion have been designed to only flicker rather than be continuously lit. That's so they can light up in sync with the vibration of the rocket so the astronauts have a chance to read them. If they stayed lit they would be a blurry mess"
That is profoundly myopic. Sure, the "planet will adapt" or whatever. But how well do you think it's gonna go when a bunch of nuclear weapon armed nations decide that the land they live on is no longer hospitable?
I disagree that they would make more money by lying directly and explicitly like that, and yes it would be very difficult to cover up a lie like that. Literally millions of people would know, because any employee at Google or anyone who inspects the code of any google web app would learn of the lie.

Mexican here. We used to run our own mail server ten years ago: it was fast, each mailbox had a lot of space, we ran our own mail campaigns, in general it was awesome... until it wasn't.

Doing your own maintenance, antivirus, spam detection can be a demanding job, but getting out of a blacklist is ten times worse. We gladly pay Google Workspaces to leave that suffering to the specialists, we couldn't do it better if we tried our best.

You either pay with time and work, or you pay with money. Sometimes spending the money is the better trade off.
> Do you, or anyone else here, know how much money Apple saved by offshoring?

There's another axis here, which is how our desire for a product overlaps with DFM. It could be the case that offshoring to cheap labor actually increased the manufacturing costs 2x, but enabled a product that would sell 10x better than its DFM counterpart.

(I have no data to say that is the case, only the intution that these things are complicated systems which rarely come down to single-issue decisions.)
The author has fixed this discrepancy now.
I think this is overly optimistic. While I think I agree, you make it sound like there will be no consequences. I think things will get much worse before the human race decides to do something about it.
American here. I took a bunch of earth science classes in college in 1999. I realized then, I would just plan ahead and aim for an urbanist lifestyle, because our country would have to change. I focused on transit alternatives as my primary advocacy, because it was the most obvious low-hanging fruit and paired with the public health.

I never imagined this would happen, but as the years went on, I grew less astonished and more cynical.

I honestly don't know how to deal with the level nihilism and genuine bitterness I feel toward my fellow man regarding climate change. This was never a political divide. The american culture was full of anti-scientific absurdity on the the right, and complete symbolism without substance on the left.

We don't even have serious bicycle or transit prioritization in our major urban areas. We don't have any concern for reducing our meat consumption. We don't have any concern for alternatives to airlines. We're to the point where only geoengineering can help, which is honestly nuts. I just, I mean, I know where I'm planning on settling down literally based on real estate in relation to climate change. It's surreal.
I've actually looked at that before if I was wanting to a large restore if my home nas just totally crashed. .03c is still going to cost like $1000 which still is pretty steep. Mostly because you know these devices aren't being plugged in and the data extracted from s3 over the WAN, they are likely plugged in directly in the datacenter over some insane internal high-speed link.
Meanwhile in Japan electric vehicles were a niche product that took off when the time was right. The psychology around automobiles is just plain weird, especially in the US.
You're far more optimistic than I about

1) how quickly agriculture can adapt to large shifts in rain and wind patterns -- for instance, what if "more rain" includes torrential downpours with massive flooding, at unpredictable intervals?
2) how quickly the world economy can adapt to most of its major cities becoming uninhabitable (even where temps stay reasonable, sea levels won't)
3) how adaptable political systems will be to unprecedented climate-driven mass migrations, both within and between states, and in the face of collapsing states?

I don't think it'll be a gradual change at all -- more a series of rolling crises, where places spared a particular crisis either are at risk of being hit directly by the next one, or have to deal with the social, political, and economic upheaval as people die or flee areas directly impacted.
If you equate world with a person ... because I believe each person is a separate world/universe.

You should only compare world where you do your amount of pushups with your world. Doing 1 pushup a day consistently is a lot better than world where you don't do any. Take into account that "metaphysics" of your world might never allow 100 pushups in a day ... well metaphysics of someones else world allows 100 pushups a day easily but that is different world with different metaphysics. Where I would say "metaphysics" equate to "physics" in terms of well "single person universe".

> So what do I do? know what we're doing is what we can and hope some rich people pull up the cause

What we do is unionize, and in a way where we can then withdraw our industrial contributions to climate change.

> I look at what I'm actually doing, and I'm at my limit.

I am willing to bet you've not yet tried to "manage up."

It's not our fellow consumers who are causing climate change, it is supply-side; it is management. Only industrial and trade unions have the leverage "stop the line," and demand a less-profitable, albeit life-saving economy.
When the identities of random internet commenters are difficult to establish, and may themselves represent larger interests or entities, there's some concern with that viewpoint.

And yet you haven't made any persuasive argument about what it "really" is or why it's good.

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human waistline.
You can try to come up with or attempt to improve an existing technical solution - whether it be a green alternative to reduce emissions or carbon capture/terraforming. If you want a place to start, alternative power sources for freighters would have a huge impact.
I'm one of those who's in the RSYNC school and take snapshot-style backups of my data.
I wonder, how a folder under syncthing that has RSYNC snapshot-style backup data work, which is, how does SYNCTHING deal with hardlinks (I suppose it ignores them and treats them as individual/new files?).
I know that's not what syncthing is for, but I'm just curious.

Parts of Canada, sure. I imagine places like Newfoundland not changing much.

The north will see big changes from permafrost melting, the west will see more smoke, more floods, and water shortages as the glacier melt is replaced by rain.

BC will be on fire more, and the forests will die off / need to be replanted with different species of trees

Transportation accounts for around 30% of carbon emissions in the US. We could do a lot worse than rethinking our 'suburban experiment' where many people are forced to use an automobile for things our ancestors could walk to in 5 minutes, to paraphrase Chuck Marohn of Strong Towns.

I had a similar situation at my school where I was valedictorian because there are 2 Latin language APs vs. only 1 for most of the other foreign languages.
I agree, and the cost. Automation hardware is just fundamentally really really expensive. I guess part of that is due to the small market, but I'm a bit skeptical that they will ever bring robot arms to the masses just because robot arms are super expensive.

The ability to plug in cables and whatnot looks like a useful ability but I'm guessing this will just be sort of like really good traditional robotic control software rather than anything really fundamentally different.
Not for agricultural use in the Midwest, that the current issue. I mean, this is an issue right now, not in 20 years.

BTW, this issue is solvable if everyone agree that meat should be rationned: no corn and some GMO wheat to produce carbs for human consumption only, a lot more vegetables and more forestry could do the trick.
This article is specifically about the UC system, which has been banned by Proposition 209 since 1996 from considering an applicant's race when making admissions decisions. It might matter at private schools or in other states, though.

It might surprise people who only know California by reputation and assume it is completely full of raging lefties, but affirmative action measures have been pretty soundly rejected by voters many times in the past three decades and the state has not been allowed to implement any of them.
This could be an opportunity to build containers in the Midwest, ship ag in them, and negotiate free shipping paid for by releasing or renting the container.
Apparently, a reasonably sustainable level of CO2 production is about 3T per person per year. The average in the US is about 17.5T pp/yr.

But ... 5.3T pp/yr of that amount is caused by the existing coal fired power plants in the USA.

So one thing you could do is to write to your elected representatives to specifically petition for the abandonment of this form of power generation and its replacement with renewable systems.

Guaranteed to work? Nope. But if we do get rid of those plants, it will make a HUGE difference at the national and international scale.

[ EDIT: missed the 1 in front of the 7 for the average US CO2 output ... 17 not 7 ]
It's fun for the people in San Jose who don't have many buildings in their city more historic than the 1970s. I just despise San Jose so please disregard my biased statements if I'm off base here.
