Medical evacuation is common enough--I'm guessing that there are policies / laws in New Zealand to keep parents with their minor children. There are medical evacuations across borders all the time so I doubt this is treading any new ground.

People generally consider it horrifying to forcibly separate parents from minor children, unless it's in the child's interest. "Or else your child doesn't get treatment" counts as force.
This is something that would be improved by something common in the eu. Price /weight or volume on labels.

Are coastal cities the only places that will become unlivable? Sea level rise gets a lot of attention but I wonder if a lot of the interior US won't just turn into unlivable desert too.

San Francisco is coastal for example but a lot of it is actually at high enough elevation to survive sea level rise, and I suspect its proximity to the ocean makes it more likely to weather temperature increases than somewhere like Phoenix (which is totally screwed if its water source dries up).
Getting a filter that is properly sized for your space and that meets your unique requirements (ACH, efficiency, etc) is likely sufficient.

So people are pretty down on the licensing for this. I agree it is less than ideal, and most certainly isn't open source.

But it is a tremendous step forward. Previously this type of data was extremely hard to find, and even if you had budget it was a long, slow process finding someone who would sell you something to test hypothesis about what models could work.

With this you can work on building models that work, demo them as much as you like, and find a source that lets you train for commercial outcomes. That's very useful. Less useful than properly open data, but useful none-the-less.

"No really, corporations consume way more than individuals"

Which ones? What corporations consume more energy that do not produce things consumers buy? If you buy a car, the corporation is using up energy, but for you, to build your car. They don't consume the energy for themselves.

Facebook uses energy? Yes so you can consume Facebook.
I'm pretty sure that first paragraph is false. Until I explicitly agree to a contract, or "terms and conditions", I am not bound by anything. If a site I navigate to embeds content from another website I am not immediately bound by the terms and conditions of that neclsred site, to think otherwise would invite madness.

Not to mention the fact that terms and conditions are not contracts. I don't think they carry the same weight, although someone please correct me on this if I am incorrect.
Need to also add in wage and environmental parity tariffs. There is no point having higher standards here if it means China will use the higher costs as a competitive advantage while still polluting the same amount.

They can also keep the box size the same, but put less stuff in the box.

Back in the day, ~50+ years ago, we used to have stores like this [1] and you'd buy most items based on how much it weighs. I wish we would buy things not as a "package", but loose. Some countries in Asia still have stores that sell stuff by the kilogram. There are also grocery stores in US like Sprouts that have dispensers for dry fruits, nuts, grains, cereal, etc. which is sold by weight. Everytime I see one, I ditch the brand name packages and opt for it.

> we are not wiping out the rest of the planet, we are manipulating it into better serving us through thd use of technology.

Right. Let's say we're not going to agree on this and leave it at that.
I'm not sure what you're wanting out of an entity, but they provide more than sprites, so your idea of what Grid provides is not an accurate representation of what the engine does.[1]

I appreciate what Godot provides, but we are not interested in building IDEs, because an IDE is not a game engine. We would rather have features that contribute to games than nice editors, which everyone else already builds. Why would we compete with Tiled? Just go use Tiled. We're not competing with 2D animation software either, just go use them, export those files, and see them reload in the engine in real-time.

If Lua is good enough for for major game studios, and nginx, and other software used by the Fortune 500, it's good enough for us.

The point of Planimeter's Grid Engine isn't to provide a game engine for Lua, despite its tagline, it's to provide a game engine that you can build a game with, out of the box, with opt-in multiplayer as simple as setting `maxplayers`.

You cannot do that with Unity 2D. You can't even do it with Unreal. There is no starting up those engines within 5 minutes, launching a server, having a friend connect, and modifying entities in real-time scripting and having them see those changes.

You receive an abstraction over `:spawn()`, `:update(dt)`, and `:draw()`, and can `:getNetworkVar()` and `:setNetworkVar()` for entities, which automatically serializes and sends data and lets the engine perform engine-level, not framework-level decisions on those entities.

They tie into a save restore lifecycle, and have optional physics, that you make a single call to and it's all networked.

Even if you didn't want to do top-down or side-scroller games with this, you have all of the out of the box engine-level mechanics for building card games, strategy games, or anything else in 2D.

To my knowledge, you cannot do that, even with Unreal out-of-the-box.

I think you’re looking at the front-page examples and thinking this is what the engine does, but really it was put up to show a parallel between Grid and LOVE’s front page examples to show how one graduates from sprites, audio, and printing text to networkable entities, emitting networked spacial audio, and creating GUI elements that are composite rasterized.

The fact that they look as simple as they do is the point.

You seem to think this is an afternoon hobby project, but it’s a very old product.

We of course need to update our documentation and marketing to make that all clear, but the parent company has larger priorities and we bring in more revenue than Godot; Grid just isn’t a primary revenue stream.

I agree, the current era got drunk on visuals and capabilities (animations that quickly stop providing any useful value). It's also a sign of over-mainstreamification of computing. Old layouts required you to think just a little more upfront I believe, now it's a very playful but less efficient.
So in your mind, despite being in the top 1 percentile of historic carbon output, you have the moral high ground for not owning a vehicle?

Yeah those impoverished parents sure are pieces of shit for driving thier kids to school and commuting between multiple underpaid jobs. They should just take a pay cut and quadruple their commute time for the earth!

Let me paint it another way:

A vegan, car free, childless, software engineer in a big city has the carbon output of 100 Ugandan farmers.

Why do you get to use electronics, power, internet, and take occasional trips to Iceland while everyone else is morally bankrupt for having a vehicle?
How do you know your measurements are accurate?

People typically frown upon victim blaming in cases where there is a perpetrator. In the cases of buildings collapsing due to known structural faults that were not addressed or climate change due to known behaviours that were not addressed, the perpetrator and the victim can be one and the same. There are times when we have to acknowledge what is happening around us and take action or face the consequences.
Well put and I couldn't agree more that diversity is essential for robust and fair ecosystems.

> And, just consider, you might just be wrong

And it's okay to be wrong, so long as one keeps an open mind and considers all the available evidence.

For example, consider that people who have been infected and recovered have robust and durable immunity that is proving to be at least equally as effective as vaccination [1][2].

It would be a waste to force these people to be vaccinated, especially when there are many other people who would greatly benefit from those doses (eg in developing countries with limited access to modern healthcare facilities).

There are a growing number of companies selling algae-based CO2 scrubbers. You grow algae and force air to bubble through it. When the algae fully grows you can harvest it to eat or compost.

However, you need to really run the numbers to see if the particular volume of algae is sufficient to clean the levels of CO2 you’d like to. In my case, I’d need ~20 of these to negate the CO2 generation in the space.

As a German I have a reflex to wanting to open the windows in most indoor situations regularly, when I am in AC'ed/ventilated situations. Of course in my AC'ed office, the windows wouldn't open, but surely the air does not feel 'fresh' enough.

Pretty sure when returning to the office post-covid we'll see some discussion on Meeting room CO2 levels. I occasionally had a hard time keeping my eyes open in crowded meeting rooms which never happens even in the most boring meetings that I have remotely.

I agree, for what it's worth. You're not alone with this.

Of course, there are many individual life circumstances that mean a car is an absolute necessity, but for many people it's a choice, whether they acknowledge they've made that choice or not. This is especially true for people who are more affluent.
It has become so endemic in society; the money supply is controlled under the assumption that innovators and managers will somehow be able to keep finding efficiencies and improvements that manage to reduce the costs of production by X% per year in order to obscure the currency's diminishing value and hide the actual level of inflation. It's a really insidious form of taxation used by central planners, and societies have become completely addicted to it in a way that they're never going to be able to outrun it long enough to escape it.
If you're trying to sequester carbon, you need to lock up that carbon somewhere - and cutting it down and putting it somewhere it will stay intact the longest seems like the best bet? A house, or a building for instance.

If it is in a forest long term (same trees), sequestration flat lines after awhile no? I'm not saying I don't like trees - far from it, I own 90 acres of timberland! I'm pointing out that pulling carbon from the atmosphere as fast as possible vs a pretty piece of old growth timber are two different goals with different tradeoffs.
Many 'external' actors are actually destroying the Amazon: Brazil's incompetence whilst voting (putting a crazy in charge); USA's inability to embargo Brazil if it keeps devastating the forest; Amazon is not located 'just at' Brazil, there are at least 5 other countries in the region; lack of international preoccupation with the forest;

I could go on and on and on...

Edit: 'on' to 'in' charge.

The swipe about denial accusations was wholly unnecessary. Multiple factors are at play. They're feeding on each other.

It's clear that there's a catastrophic problem that's developed, and continues to accellerate, with wildfire incidence and severity in North America. And that past forestry practices have all but certainly contributed.

Starting over 20 years ago, the number and scale of fire scars I'd see whilst travelling through the Western US began impressing itself on me sharply. On one trip I'd headed out of Boise on state routes 21 and 75, through the Sawtooth Wilderness, and hit a fire scar that was over 20 miles long. I continued through to Yellowstone where the decade-plus scars of the 1988 conflagration there, one of the most severe in the US at the time, were still sharply visible, along with stands of unburnt, but clearly dead trees, on the mountainsides (beetle infestation I believe). There was still plenty of fuel.

Other portions of that trip brought me through other fire scars, as well as terrain that would burn over the next several years (some of these immediately adjacent or twice-burned ground). One of my road stops ended up being a command-centre for firefighting efforts. That made news of the subsequent burns far more visceral.

Some years later, I had a long road-trip talk with a retired US Forestry worker who gave the story of how mismanagement was fueling current burns --- this now nearly a decade and a half ago itself. I think about that conversation often.

But wildfire is an increasing problem around the world, including in locations which have not to the best of my knowledge been subject to total fire suppression, including large regions of Siberia, ablaze now, burning for months, and quite possibly the continuation of what have become annual fires errupting for much of the past decade. The regions are simply too remote for the type of suppression the US and Canada have practiced.

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/08/05/siberia-feels-the-...

And much of the terrain I've seen burned isn't exactly "forest". It might have some trees, but is more scrubland. Whether or not that is also subject to overaccumulation of fuel load I'm not certain, but it's the type of terrain that would burn regardless ... and yet, still seems to be burning more frequently and more intensely than before.

I've also driven through forests (part of the region now on fire in California, in 2015), and despite years of backpacking and rural trips, feeling very uncomfortable over just how painfully dry and primed for ignition that portion of the trip, made late in the year with hot dry weather and months of no precipitation, felt. The Camp Fire followed within a couple of years, and the Dixie fire is literally burning up the path I'd blazed. Forestry management is part of that, but bone-dry dust, pine needles, shrubs, and trees take more than just misguided foresters.

But how fast do they pull carbon from the atmosphere over that time?

If you take some fast growing trees, harvest them just as the curve starts to slow, put that wood to use somewhere it won't rot, and plant new trees that also fast grow - seems like you'd pull out more in aggregate?

Personally I'm more of a fan of the geo-weathering type sequestration plans, but if if we have a target, might as well optimize for it?

That's actually how traditional weights and measures used to work. Tithes and taxes owed to the lord were set out in age-old contracts that even the lord couldn't change, with things like "ten pounds of grain" written in the contract.

But the lord controlled the legal measures and would adjust the length of a foot, volume of a gallon, and weight of a pound as suited the conditions. The measurements would consequently vary between one feudal domain and the next, as well as over time.

This is why the metric system, which promised standardized, invariant, and universal measures, was hailed as a win for the people during the French Revolution.
The Big Brain Scheme Apple uses for their CSAM stuff.

Summary for the lazy:
- this is going to be out in ios15

- Apple will build and push a database of hashes with every update

- these hashes will be used to verify against the pics before they are uploaded to icloud and generate a "voucher"

- once a certain threshold of vouchers is passed, Apple will be able to decrypt the pictures in questions (all this discussion seems to assume Apple does not have access to icloud pictures - so maybe they are preparing to rollout full encrypted backups???)

- the crypto stuff is interesting

- the scary part is that there is nothing preventing Apple to do the same thing with other thing on your phone (assuming there is a way to generate a good enough matching hash - I can see how this could be easily extended to basically anything that's stored on the phone)

I am not defending Trump which you appear to be arguing for. I agree that Trump says the most ridiculous things.

Sort of related: I'm still confused by GUIs and files, and I've been using computers for ~30 years and programmed professionally for ~15, using Windows and Linux.

I've mostly gotten over all the confusion in Windows and Linux, but OS X still confuses me. Specifically how to install an application. It seems like it's different with each app.

For example, I downloaded a .dmg file for the Transmission BitTorrent client. And I double clicked it. There was another icon inside, and I double clicked that.

Now I'm running the Transmission client and I can use it. But it's not installed? I can't click on a .torrent file and have it launch the client.

I try to drag the whole thing into Applications? That makes a big mess. It doesn't install it. I have to open up finder and manually remove the files.

Then I realize I have to click the .dmg and then drag the thing inside into Applications.

To me everything in OS X looks like an "icon" and there is some tenous relationship to directories/folders, and "Applications" is some special pseudo-folder. I'm still confused, and not surprised at all that end users are confused. And this is on the OS that's supposedly the most user-friendly.
