> If we're eating as many calories, or slightly more, as our grandparents did, while barely moving in comparison to them...

So you don't think that people who do more work are "supposed to be" more hungry and thereby eat more food? The people I know who are leaner seem to just not get hungry as often--or as much--as I seem to get... and hell: I've gone through periods where I'm gaining weight and periods where I'm losing weight, and when I'm gaining weight I feel like I'm hungry constantly and when I'm losing weight I find eating a bit tedious.
> If we were going for emotional effect shouldn't it be expressed in Kelvin

A difference in 1K is equivalent to 1C difference. The thing is, when Celsius scale was invented, they didn't have a concept of "absolute zero" yet.

Once "absolute zero" was known, then Kelvin units were invented, which were equivalent to C except that 0 means absolute zero.
Tell that to the residents of Lytton.
FWIW Celsius and Kelvin have the same scale, they're just shifted.
> I thought it was near-consensus at this point that it's because we are less physically active.

Except wild animals are also getting obese. I doubt they are becoming less physically active.
It’s about strategy: you don’t know what the interviewers are looking for. Being human they may be dazzled by side projects and it may help get the job at company A because person 13 was interviewing that day but make no difference at B and C. But you get more offers and negotiate a better compensation at B.

In other words interviews are human and messy, not strictly logical.
In 2021, Under 50% of students got a 4/5 on compsci, econ (both of them), gov, and Art. The only thing which can charitably be included is AP drawing, which about 52% got a 4 or above. The high scores in your classes have more to do with school quality than anything else.

I prefer the other theory I've heard: the body's gauge on starvation is not based on caloric intake, but based on nutritional intake; ergo, low nutrition diets that have sufficient calories (such as the Standard American Diet) make the body think winter is coming soon, and time to get extra plump.

This is mainly the basis of my dieting. I reached a peak of 340, and in exactly a year, while maintaining the same CICO, but changing from the SAD to strict non-Keto Paleo, became 214, and then eventually slimmed down to the 175-185 range.

I now eat mainly focused on nutritional density, and keeping the weight off is easy.
Thing is, can that gag order be imposed without a judge in the mix?
It seems reasonable to require lawful gag orders to be confirmed by the judicuary, not just issued at will by the executive.

Perl's usability is far higher than bash and more consistent. Admittedly, there is a bit of memorisation regarding special variables, but those variables are well-documented and have a strong UNIX heritage. (and they have named versions too..)
Honestly both of them are small, and I think citing the degrees is just terrible messaging altogether. I think people would gladly accept & adapt to even a 5°F increase; I know I would. The problem is that doesn't capture anything about the local variation (and impacts like hurricanes, fires, etc.), and that even beyond that, we're absolutely destroying everything about our planet as we know it, and a single-degree change in average temperatures is just icing on the cake.

At some point, we humans got cocky with wrong things: going to never ending wars, trying to make go away some dangerous virus using public speeches on TV, and stuff.

but this kind of technology is the right thing in which we should get into ASAP, yes, there will bad outcomes, that's almost guaranteed if you take a look at recenty developed technologies (CRIPS babies, ransomware, etc.),

but, what about the good stuff, how it could reshape societies around the world, taking away the burden of having to be physically in order to make things happen in the real world (the online world has this already solved).

You can just imagine what things - good stuff - will be developed if this thing reaches the public.

We should try things like this with possible good outcomes (instead of insisting with stuff like bombs falling into cities which have zero chances of good outcomes).
Perl is excellent for string parsing/text manipulation (makes sense as that was its original design goal). I agree on Python; "the Pythonic way" of doing things seems to result in lots of useless boilerplate.
OK 3C is 5.4F for anyone who is wondering.

I don’t think that’s the straw that would’ve broken the climate change camel’s back in America.

I equally wish that more Americans used SI -- Farenheit is about as familiar to me as Rankine; I have been bitten by the US use of 'mil' to mean thousandths of an inch whilst remaining how some en-gb engineers use it as inaccurate slang for mm. But this is a big distraction. Alas, I know that the whole reason we're in this pickle is that scientific literacy is low, and most people prefer short term gains over longer ones. In many ways the increased rate of increase in temperature might be a good thing, as it makes more people intuitively get that something is very, very wrong.

As an aside, most professional oceanographers or climate scientists I know are depressed, furious, or grant writing -- or a linear superposition of all three.
Yeah, I almost never touch my wipers. Only exceptions I can think of is if there’s a very very suddenly change in the speed/volume of rain falling, I’m stopped for an extended period (the automatic speed adjustment works better when you’re moving), or if a bug or something has hit the windscreen and I need to squirt to clean it. That sentence was a real effort to go down memory lane though, it’s just not something I really have to think about anymore.

You make it sound like China is still a developing country with plenty of space to catch up. That was true in 2000 but not in 2021.

>let the Chinese Ambassador do it

...

And from comment below

>CCP would absolutely disallow such work by their own political insiders

It's Track 1 vs 1.5 vs 2 diplomacy. CCP allows "legal" foreign influence as well. A PRC equivalent-ish of FARA was new NGO laws / local partners. Un-sanctioned foreign influence (i.e. all the CIA assets) got purged. There's going to be need for less official track 1.5/2 work in managing complex relationships especially if tensions between US&PRC is going to heatup in future.

The nuance is recalibrating different tiers of policy instruments to determine level of appropriate engagement. Over the last few years, US has been neutering PRC orgs like Confucius institutes, pursued the extremely broad China Initiative and other measures to establish reciprocity in response to CCP crushing unwanted US influence ops in PRC. Work in progress, but track 1.5/2 is not going anywhere.
> Is not the ultimate goal of society to enable people to pursue and hopefully attain what they love?

That's not what I would consider the ultimate goal, if for no other reason than I don't see how that allows us to forbid drunk driving or heroin use.
Penalties can be both severe and proportionate to revenue at the same time, as one option.
Humans have trouble detecting less than a 2°C change in temperature. The truth is changes on global averages seem tiny because we use temperature as the metric. The temperature change is tiny. The heat energy is huge. We should use energy as the metric.
this is fascinating, I couldn't have guessed this.

This is in the same category as: sit on the couch watching TV and you're spending almost the same amount of calories as a walking person.

Maybe it also matters how you spend those calories. Fasting helps a lot, westerners don't fast. I assume hunter tribes fast more and also have lots of short bursts of energy.
Yes, the technology is the same. But how many machined products were available for the consumer to buy in 1970? I was excited about the Macbook Air not because it was thin, but because it was CNC made, just like the aerospace products I designed. Injection molding remains dominant, but over the last 15 years CNC has made a lot of progress.
What? You are missing the point completely.

The parent comment is saying that with the SAT removal, the only hard number the admissions officers have left to use is GPA. And GPA is just as gameable, if not even moreso than SAT scores, for kids with wealthy parents.

Do you have a source for that beyond "the 1st ammendment"? This feels like the kind of thing that has an exception.

Unless the facts in the article are fabricated, we can say for sure that members of the US Marshal service conspired to interfere with tech dirt’s business. Conspiracies happen all the time. It’s not a synonym for “something that isn’t real”.

This is ignoring the fact that if the southern coastal US is toast the northern areas are going to have a climate refugee crisis on their hands.
This article smells more like religious eschatology than rational economic discussion about the costs and benefits of climate change. This sort of sensationalist and opinionated reporting hardly advances the credibility of its cause.
Right? It hit 116°F in Portland, Oregon last month, hotter than the record highs in such places as Dallas, Miami, New Orleans, and downtown LA.

The notion that there's a climate change safe zone is an optimistic one, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of supporting evidence.
Really? This guy who invents awesome working chemicals that are tragically bad for people on a worldwide scale manages to exit life dues to his own inventions, unrelated to chemistry... Kind of Ironic! Thomas Midgley, Jr. (1889–1944) was an American engineer and chemist who contracted polio at age 51, leaving him severely disabled. He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to help others lift him from bed. He became accidentally entangled in the ropes and died of strangulation at the age of 55. However, he is better known for two of his other inventions: the tetraethyl lead (TEL) additive to gasoline, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
> Have you not seen the news where Aunt Becky got her kid in? Without tough affirmative action rules, Aunt becky’s kids get in and your kids don’t.

This whole controversy is about a handful of the most elite schools in the nation. I find it more than a bit silly tbh, since whatever admissions policy they choose it's not going to be even close to affecting "the majority" of prospective students. We should be working to expand access to education at every level, not just focusing on such a tiny minority.
Agree on that part. If you are on a heat bowl area, you will have to deal with it, and getting the short end of the stick.

This may have been true a few hundred years ago, but not now. Where do their families live? What do they they do for work, food, resources and recreation? Who will they trade with? Where will they get consumer goods?
I was looking forward to this. It's the conclusion to a discussion posted here earlier [1].

Some schools are actually quite good at ensuring student athletes need to actually be students in addition to athletes. The necessary discipline to simultaneously train in rigorous athletics and scholarship can make for a compelling case.

Alas, my alma mater did not, and it was pretty obvious to everyone that they were athletes first, and kept up appearances about schooling. I am reasonably confident that several degree programs that the school offered would not have existed if the football and basketball programs didn't exist.

Would they have been able to let in more students who would have bean more focused on schooling? Honestly, I don't know, but I strongly suspect there are lower hanging fruit to pick first.
Even if that would apply, the people won’t stay in the south for very long if it becomes impossible to live there. I don’t think there will be a secret enclave that can just ignore the impact of global warming.
I'm sitting in my air conditioned room, in the USA. Doing computer stuff, naturally.

I look at what I can do about this. I can turn up the temp in my room, and the house. Meager difference. I can use less water - I already am, with getting showers every other day on average. I can eat less meat - which I do with purchase of the beef CSA. I'm big into the repair movement, and repair household equipment and electronics with my knowledge of circuitry and 3d printing. I recycle, but that's if its not repairable or reusable/repurposable.

I look at what I'm actually doing, and I'm at my limit. There isn't anything else I can add on to reduce footprint. And in reality, the same goes for many people.

These global climate change issues are the sum of all the work in this world, but the bulk of it is emitted by companies who do the cheapest thing. And if dumping gigatons of CO2 or methane in the air makes more sense, that's done. I can petition my congresscritters, but it's well known they do not listen to the little guy (https://www.vox.com/2014/4/18/5624310/martin-gilens-testing-... ). Your party is irrelevant here.

So what do I do? know what we're doing is what we can and hope some rich people pull up the cause, and not try to escape the atmosphere in a penis-shaped rocket.

I've given up hope that this will be solved.
Increased gravity?
I went to high school in a science magnet program in Texas. Students from 3 high schools were eligible for the magnet program, and the magnet program was housed in one of the 3 high schools. Our math+science classes were in the magnet program, but our English/history/PE/art/all other classes were in the host school. The program made up about 10% of the host high scool, and students in the program were counted as part of the host school for purposes of university admission.

This understandably made people unhappy at the host school - ~7% of the class is academic high achievers from out of the school zone who take most of the admission spots reserved for the top N%.

I don't know of any cases of parents moving to avoid the extra competition, but I probably wouldn't have heard of that if it happened. I do know of some people set on going to UT who did not apply to the magnet program so they could have less competition.

The point here is you don't need to move to a rural area to decrease school competition. There are plenty of cases where you can move a mile to get into the zone of a less competitive school.
My school had a pretty good system, where AP grades got a boost proportional to how far from 100 they were, something like 40%, so if you got an 80 raw it would be boosted by 20x.4 = 8 to 88 final score. This effectively means that weaker students aren't penalized for chosing harder classes whilst very strong students don't get rediculously inflated grades.

Huh, I live in the US and I've only ever heard that called a thou but wikipedia backs you up. I'd think a mil would be a millionth of an inch.

I don’t give a shit about mascots at all.

My problem is purely with the moral outrage coming from people who are not in the group they are purporting is offended.
> I hate the framing of 5) because it presumes a narrative where people don't have agency over their own preferences.

People have agency over their preferences? Then why do people ever have trouble dieting? Wouldn't it be easier to just want to eat canned beans/spam/nutritious mush to keep you healthy? Why are they sad when they cannot afford something? Why don't they just stop wanting it?
How could this possibly work for, e.g., electronics? How does the government buy computers that are made in America? Unless there is some loophole whereby all the parts are acquired from wherever they are acquired, and the manufacturer just assembles the box in the US and gets to label it "Made in USA"?
Similarly, I think there should also be concern about the increase in political violence. In this case against those holding high offices.

The fact that both are going up is not a good sign. It actually really worries ne now that I think about it.

Keep in mind that it's 3C average, over the entire globe, over a year. The locale, variance, seasonality all matter. Like, suppose that you are "lucky" in that your region gets only the average of 3C, so your year is 3C warmer on average, but that only happens during 3 months of the year, so you get 12C hotter in summer--basically, el fuego--or you get 12C in winter--basically, no more winter.

A warmer winter can be catastrophic for forests in cold climates that depend on freezing temperatures to kill off invasive bugs. So an entire forest can be absolutely ruined by a damn beetle.

No, because climate is a chaotic system and nothing, nowhere, will be 'slightly milder'. You are mistaken. It ain't about a minor shift in baseline plus sea-level changing, though sea-level changing is still a thing.

I'm IN the Northeast, not far from Albany. The crazy swings are less and less occasional and that's a trend that continues to escalate. I consider the location pretty much optimal. That's a far cry from 'fine', and the distinction is important.

I have it on my BMW. It works great. There is still a similar looking control as you would have with a conventional system but instead of wiper speed it is basically a "sensitivity" or a "desired dryness". Here in the PNW rain can be a light mist or proper raindrops and may change minute to minute. So I just turn it on, set it to something in the middle and the wipers wipe when necessary. I rarely have to touch it again after turning it on.

Compare this to my old Toyota that just had low-med-high. Low was still moving constantly, the only intermittent was a manual "mist". This meant my wipers were running way too much even on low or I had to hit the mist every 10-20 seconds.
It's not an irrational value, but it is an American value pushed by society.
I fear the one-two punch of disproportionate use of energy coupled with rampant world-wide inequality (in both resources and income) result in those who caused the issues having little reason to care about the result.

In a democratic country, how will a leader convince the population to care about this if the country is rich and currently is unaffected? Well, we're about to see how successful or unsuccessful they might be- so far, it's not looking great.

Furthermore - in the classic phrase: reduce, reuse and recycle. The most important of the three is reduction - how can we reduce consumption in a capitalist world that values mindless consumption and advertising to promote more mindless consumption?

How many of us work for companies that directly or indirectly promote mindless waste of resources and endless consumption?

This is not a TV show - a happy ending is not guaranteed.
Nicotine also alleviates the (substantial) side effects from commonly used medications from what I remember. I think your point is generally true, but in the case of Marijuana I do remember as it being specifically a precipitant of an episode. Schizophrenics aren't awlays in a psychotic state in the same way manic depressives aren't always in a manic / depressive state. I believe the general perception is that pot would cause a person to become psychotic more often / earlier but not be outright causitive if that makes sense.
Which is irrelevant. Increasing crop failures will mean that even if you migrate to somewhere that is currently cool, there won't be enough food to feed everyone.
