This is the exact approach we're taking with EthicalAds (https://www.ethicalads.io/advertising-vision/#what-is-ethica...). We allow targeting by site content (keywords), and we've found that it works quite well (see our pricing for how this is marketed: https://www.ethicalads.io/advertisers/#pricing).

This post reminds me we need to write up a full blog post on how it works, and how we're seeing great results from it. We're trying to prove the model works, so always happy to have folks support us!

Being able to support turbocharged engines is critical to being economically viable for FBOs which is critical to being actually available for sale. (Estimates were that 70% of the airplanes could use a 94UL-type gasoline, but that the 30% of remaining airplanes burned [and bought] 70% of the fuel sold, so a 94UL solution is, as you've experienced, not economically viable.)
Absolutely. It’s a very interesting industry as the idea of valuing “data assets” gets more mainstream.
So... you're willing to have millions of people die to protect some employees from having their employer knowing their medical history? From what I can see, companies are doing this to reduce their exposure to legal risk from employee-employee infection in the office.
Honest question: Shouldn't we hedge our bets at this point and also start investing heavily in infrastructure that helps mitigate the worst of the effects? (Flood management, water desalination, cloud seeding, etc.) I feel the race to zero emissions is a trendy topic now in media, but perhaps we are past the "we can still stop bad things from happening" point.
"The variants all come from unvaccinated people." This is not necessarily correct. It's clear by now that none of the widely available SARS-CoV-2 vaccines (or maybe none at all) prevent infection by the virus. [1] discusses the role of vaccination in immune escape.

Yeah, mortality risk is only part of the picture, and probably not the most relevant part for young and healthy people. But there are lots of other medium-term (at least) impacts of COVID that have already been observed, and at this point I think it's really unlikely that the expected long-term harm from the vaccine is anywhere close to the expected long-term harm from COVID even in young, healthy people.

The cognitive effects of COVID alone (discussed recently at [0]) are probably much more harmful in expectation than the vaccine side-effects, even accounting for the relatively high likelihood that those effects are not real, not causal, and/or reversible.

What's interesting is that, depending on how a house is heated and how power is generated in an area, having a low power PC might be worse for the environment.

I'm thinking older houses heated with natural gas but where electricity is mostly supplied by renewables. In this case, it's better to heat less and have the PC act as a heater, that performs computations as a side effect!

Arguing with people posting in bad faith or complete ignorance is a waste of my time.

You can come with a mountain of evidence and/or a well written edited thought out post and they'll just ignore it, post elsewhere with the same argument, or complain about inconsequential things. In my younger days I used to waste time arguing with racists, Nazis, etc but the argument comes from bad faith and they've already made their mind up. I just down vote or report them and move on.

They are specifically egregious but similar people are not owed my time and if it's an actual good faith argument they'll eventually learn to word their statements better.
Alpine does look neat, but it feels like its coming at the problem from a different direction than I'm thinking. Alpine looks like it wants to expose you to JS functionality via HTML attributes. My issue with this approach is that every time I've tried it, one eventually hits the limits of what the tool anticipated. Also Alpine looks like it leans on putting literal JS into HTML tags for execution which I don't like since this code is often difficult to debug, lint, reuse, etc.

I prefer the alternative approach where you move as much of the system as you can into JS, since JS is a fully functional language that will adapt to any issue you might run into. Your static HTML would really just be a static skeleton focusing on layout leaving your dynamic content to be dynamically created by JS. Your JS could keep references to those elements in code and then not rely on selectors to find what you need.

With web assembly I'd be really shocked if it was able to provide the same kind of dynamic interactive environment as the Javascript console, but I'm not that well versed in webasm so who knows?
The devil is in the details:

- How quickly do we phase out fossil fuels. Less than 5 years is un realistic but more then 20 years is probably too long to wait

- How much should we charge for carbon emissions?

- How do we restore ecosystems that took millions of years to form?
IPv6 is faster and more reliable because the user can connect to your site natively instead of going through NAT and CGNAT.
As with so many things, most often the person in front of you, or who is the contact point with an organization, is not the person or system responsible for whatever has cause you the anger and frustration you feel. In short, don't shoot the messenger.

It would seem to me that in particularly abusive instances (enraged, harrying, and especially any threats) there is a workplace health and safety angle. In my jurisdiction such conduct from patrons and customers is considered potentially injurious to a worker and an employer has to take reasonable steps to protect employees. While being screamed at over the phone by a stranger is unlikely to give you PTSD as a once-off, a few years of it daily, done out of economic desperation, probably takes its toll on mental health. Though how such a case would go in practice, I don't know.

I totally agree with you. I just don't agree with forcing/mandating anything. People should be able to decide for themselves what risk tolerance they want to be apart of.

If people perceived covid to be as deadly as it is made out to be, we wouldn't have low vaccination rates. People are not getting the vaccine because they don't see a need too.
Are plumbers licensed? Should I assume that just anyone can become a plumber?

Licensed trades have gatekeepers, e.g., my high-school friend couldn't be an electrician because he couldn't get a union internship. They were full and he didn't know anyone important. Also, I believe that the licensing required the completion of course work.

I have never had a job that didn't require college and also paid more than rent. It seems a strong assumption that there are ready alternatives which pay a subsistence or higher wage. Of course it is also a strong assumption that higher education will necessarily result in a subsistance or higher wage, but my point is that it seems unfounded to simply assume that there is a reliable practicable alternative just because there used to be. As far as I know, I don't know anyone who didn't go to college and can reliably pay rent by themselves, and I know lots of people who didn't go to college.
But what is the alternative?
You're not alone. As someone who lives in the PNW I dread fire season (summer) now because it means we could have days of smoke and dangerously high particulate levels - having your air full of smoke such that you can barely see across the street for days tends to awaken a primal fear. And there's a huge dead zone now forming off of our coast which is killing untold amounts of marine life (not to mention that marine life that died in last months heat dome event). We've trashed the place and most people don't seem to be even mildly concerned.

Contaminated soils don't contain elemental lead. The dominant form is lead oxide, one of the two common additives in lead paint (along with the carbonate) and also the end point of the combustion of TEL in fuel. Lead from lead oxide is easily absorbed orally from soil, paint chips, and household dust, and it's also a serious inhalation hazard.

> sweet tasting lead paint chips

What makes you think lead paint tastes sweet?

> Lead is not mobile in typical soil or water environments

Which is exactly the reason lead-contaminated soils are such a long-lasting hazard. It's the reason little kids playing in the dirt around old houses can be poisoned decades after contamination was laid down. For example, here in Denver entire urban neighborhoods were built on the site of a smelter that was demolished a hundred years ago, and the contamination is still largely unchanged. Remediation requires completely replacing the top several feet of soil.

> There is naturally occurring trace lead in most soils - it’s a somewhat common element.

Significant deposits of lead in surface soil are rare, and are limited to sites with unique geology. The vast majority of distributed lead in surface soils is of human origin.

It will happen much more quickly than people realize since the totality of what I’ve read seems to be “our models about it are too conservative”. The big question will be whether there’s a very significant impact to this in the western world. We’ll feel secondary effects and coastline habitability will shift, but I suspect the point where we see it directly in the west is when the entire world is in turmoil. Even still, there will be people here talking about illegal immigration rather than what causing that.
The lockers are just so you have a place to put your phone. They are not secure in any way. Using a keyed locker just ensures you don't pick up someone else's phone by accident after the meeting. Remember that secure rooms live inside secure buildings, usually inside a secure facility with a fence and guy standing at the gate. And the guy has a gun.
I love Apple’s approach to this: You can force the phone to ask for a password, even if Face ID is enabled, by rapidly pressing power button a couple of times. Face ID will be disabled until next unlock, so that you can not be forced to unlock the phone with your face.
I literally told family members "I'm going to mention climate change in every conversation from here on out" and then brought it up, even if I just mention in passing or find a way to involve it in the conversation as a joke.

Taxing negative externalities won't work here; bean counters just add that to the price of business.

I partly disagree with your comment (HN isn't an academy) but you make a good point that 4 downvotes are enough to effectively make a comment disappear. That can be abused to easily wreck good comments, adn genuinely shitty comments don't get enough negative feedback.

When you add in flagging and other factors, the 'mysterious black box + benevolent moderator' approach satisfies nobody and is easily gamed by bad actors. It's just an attempt at community security through obscurity, and like all STO approaches it doesn't work. There's also evidence to suggest that flamewars do a better job of eliminating toxicity over the long term than the approach outlined above.

Should have been from the start. There are so many climate change variables outside of human control (sunspots, volcanic eruptions, etc...) that it's better to just be prepared.

This doesn't make any sense as vaccinated people can and do transmit the delta variant. Mandatory work from home would be the solution to that.

> A bunch of otherwise healthy people have died from the vaccine.

Here's my take on that. Yes, some young, healthy people have died after taking the vaccine. Small numbers of young, healthy people die for no apparent reason all the time, but because vast numbers of people were not all getting the same vaccines at the same time, there was never a plausible common thread to tie them to.
They should just stop the warnings already. We already fell off the cliff. We are in free-fall. At this point all we can hope for is that MacGyver builds us a parachute out of a roll of toiler paper, some bubble gum, and shoelaces, before we hit the pavement.

Your understanding on "liberal" seems pretty shallow. Liberal support fundamental civil liberty of course, but many of them also tend to support republicanism in some sense, like economics, welfare, corporate policy and public health to establish social equity and justice. You cannot simply draw a clear line between "liberal" and "conservative" and put everyone in one of either bucket; the real world politic is a way more complicated than that.

You say that as if it's not a good idea, but in the absence of external factors (password being used elsewhere or a hash stored somewhere e.g. for corporate SSO), using the same password shouldn't really diminish the security of your setup.
Who built more coal plants last year than the rest of the world shut down last year? Who benefits from the low price of coal thanks to the world cutting back their use of coal? Who grew their industrial economy dramatically last year? Who is the biggest carbon polluter out there?

They are laughing all the way to being the next superpower thanks to the west's carbon austerity.

How are our carbon sins magically absolved if we just transfer them to this country and shift all our industrial production there?

The practical effect is the deindustrialization of the west and the building up of their industry with negligible net reduction in carbon emissions.

If this was an intentional policy to impoverish the west and increase some country's economic power with little net environmental impact, it couldn't have been better designed.

Even some geoengineering like shooting a lot of reflective particulates high into the upper atmosphere - we need to start thinking pretty seriously about how to do this. It won't be without side effects, but the current side effects of continuing to pump CO2 into the atmosphere without restraint are going to force us to consider things like this.
Mitigation and adaptation are big topics within the field, and yes, we're going to need a shitload of both even in the best case scenario. Unfortunately, the hundreds of millions of people who are worst affected by climate change are also in the worst position to do anything to improve their situation.
You're literally worrying about the security of them and yet claiming someone else being worried about the security of them is spouting BS.

I think there's a major lack of internal consistency. You're hyper-worried about one specific threat that relies on a huge unpublished technological leap to create biological backdoors, yet... you aren't worried about other potential unknown tech (e.g. if the government wants new-tech mind control backdoors, they could also research building them as aerosol viruses instead of injected ones, because then the lack of traceability is very attractive compared even with harder delivery) or about other actors abusing the vector of another shot you want (and let's be real - there are security holes in open source software projects all the time!).
