Defense wasn't stronger than offense in a physical sense. It's just that the proper doctrine and training for dealing with the new technological reality was not developed until the Ludendorff offensive in the last year of the war.

This dynamic crops up pretty often in historic wars, in which it's less the technology that determines the result but how well the humans are trained. The Civil War in the US was also a slog because of the poor level of training among both enlisted and officers. There was a tendency among poorly trained or untrained volunteers to 'go to ground' to hide from gunfire. Neither infantry nor cavalry really learned how to charge properly because of deficiencies in training, which made the battles go on for a lot longer than they would have otherwise.

It was a similar situation with WWI. It is very, very complicated to coordinate artillery and infantry and to properly plan a successful penetration through fixed defenses. This came to be more or less a solved problem by Germany under Ludendorff's new doctrine.

A lot of the breezy summaries about WWI about it being static also only apply to the western front, because there was lots of successful maneuver warfare in the east. That's why Ludendorff got the job to try to end the war in the west after his success against Russia.

We see this every day with the technology industry: often we have a technology that works well years before we can get people to use it properly or to make it user-friendly enough for everyone to understand readily. Coordinating artillery with infantry movements required lots of work in math/statistics and drilling plus lots of data collection to make the plans and timetables realistic.

You may struggle to get the same functionality from a Nikon DSLR, but at least it has a better camera.

Are you switching from a laptop to a desktop machine? Do you have no use for the portability anymore?
Again, if you feed them from food scraps you can keep them alive as long as you fancy or until they die from old age and still be carbon negative compared to throwing the food to waste.

It is just a choice. If you are OK with keeping livestock but don't want to kill animals, keep them around.

If reducing CO2 emissions is more important, kill off male chickens as well as old ones and instead keep more of the productive ones and share some eggs (and some knowledge - if possible) with friends.
Most of the activists I know are not developers, they don't have tech savvy people in their groups. And as far as I can tell developers will just add a million tracking scripts to anything without much thought.

I don't think this makes green movements fake. it just means that they don't understand security and privacy.

I couldn't even join my local group during lockdown because they only opperate on facebook.
Fair. I think of proxy servers more as filters though and not mail stops. Usually these companies don't act as your filter, just a mail stop on the way to you.
Can someone concisely explain how using more data in a general sense is contributing to CO2 emissions? I mean, if I use Bittorrent for example, the data is flowing through ISPs and from users' computers. I imagine the impact is negligible in the grand scheme of things. For hosted service I understand there's some cost to the datacenters used to serve the data, but the processing certainly has much more of an impact.

At the end of the day, the real culprit is the infrastructure, and emergence of tech giants who don't have environmental sustainability anywhere in their mission.
I was actually shocked that a note taking app is running 15 processes in the background at all times.

Wunderlist had the same problem. A todo list app that runs 10+ processes when it's not even open? WTF?

I noticed the same about discord, slack and basically all modern apps. Why do these basic things need to run so many processes in the background? They are completely over-engineered and sluggish and slow.

At this point i only use the web versions of most software when i need them, so they don't clog up my system with useless processes.
If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is to be wary of problems slipped under the rug. The climate change issue is backed by hard evidence, and the eventual result of the current situation if unchanged is dire.

If we wait to act until the eventual result is in our face, then we are no different than animals that try to outrun a flood, if so then what is the purpose being self aware? Freedom eh?

"Fairphone"

It is nice the the fairphone trys to be nice and fair, but I would rather have a focus of a actual open phone under my control and they do not deliver this (not to blame them, the issue is hard). Fixing the global exploitive economy is a different issue and trying to solve everything at once is not working usually.

And it would be news to me, that it is now completely free of binary blobs and their claims always felt a little bit dishonest to me. I recently read a interview by the former CTO that confirms it

I am from Brazil, and once there was a Green Party candidate with a real shot at presidential elections, she ended in third, because the candidate that ended being in second made a heavy campaign asking people to vote for him and not "waste" votes on the Green Party that was "never going to win anyway".

They missed their chance though, because after that election the candidate in question tried to appeal to everyone by being so ambiguous that instead made everyone not trust her anymore (for example spousing communist policies and at same time choosing the richest banker in the country as vice-president).
They probably got hacked ages ago and it was added at that point. I wouldn't be assuming malice here.
Probably not as much as we waste on resolving confusion caused by playing fast and loose with shared rules/understanding of things.
What you need to know about Binary options trading
Yes, but those things do not exist in a vacuum, they are produced based on demand. If we care so much about our own convenience that we are unwilling to change the things we can on an individual level, how will we ever be willing to sacrifice things as a society? Are you going to give up your 2-day prime delivery because we no longer ship things by truck? Or a wide variety of items at your grocery because we stop gathering food from the four corners of the earth?
It's also incredibly slow. On my M1 Macbook, touted as one of the fastest laptops ever, it takes 3 seconds from opening it until there's anything on the screen, and than about 5 seconds more until it's interactive.

Can you elaborate on that? I'm sure it's both true and false depending on your definition of "how and where it is run," but wondering what you had in mind specifically.

>It's definitely the last straw for me in terms of apple products.

Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, etc. have all been scanning content for those same child porn images for darn near a decade now.

>The system that scans cloud drives for illegal images was created by Microsoft and Dartmouth College and donated to NCMEC. The organization creates signatures of the worst known images of child pornography, approximately 16,000 files at present. These file signatures are given to service providers who then try to match them to user files in order to prevent further distribution of the images themselves, a Microsoft spokesperson told NBC News. (Microsoft implemented image-matching technology in its own services, such as Bing and SkyDrive.)

"There are two opportunities to look at content," when it's going into a cloud-storage account and when it's leaving, she said. "There is technology to do this," Grant added, pointing out that file signatures — unique hashes or fingerprints — could be used to confirm the nature of the files.

Colin Hay is amazing and still touring. His show is a mixture and songs and storytelling. He has some good stories about the crazy times during Men At Work's peak.
>Of course the biggest emitters are industrial.

Can industry exists without consumers? If you don't buy any cars then you have an impact. If you don't buy a new laptop/phone each year you have an impact on electronic industry. If you don't order online a 1$ gadget daily you have an effect.
> Road transport is only 12% of co2 emissions.

This is flawed reasoning. The figure only applies to the _continuous_ CO2 emissions of road traffic. It's ignoring the CO2 emissions caused by building the vehicles, building and maintaining infrastructure and the consequences of car-centric urban planning (urban sprawl, unliveable city centres, wasted space for parking, lots of sealed ground, traffic problems, poor air quality, etc.).

This kind of reasoning also is the cause that nothing will change in the near future, because no one has the courage to price goods and services according to their true impact. A car on the road is more than just a CO2 emitter - it has to be built, scrapped, requires roads, causes traffic problems, reduces air quality, causes health issues from noise and pollutants, generates micro-particles (from tyres), seals ground (parking spaces),
reduces the efficiency and liveability of cities and so on.

Debates about climate and environment need to stop focussing on CO2 emissions and start taking into account the broader impact. That's why EVs are nothing but greenwashing. That's why car traffic as a whole has to be reduced dramatically. Emissions only tell a very small part of the story (here: 12%).

You can't fault the logic, fewer people means less demand for the things that create the carbon emissions in the first place.

Not saying I agree. But people have tried, guess which social networks self-select out of survival?
The steak one is usually more nuanced. Not all land that raises cows can be productive for crops. I tend to buy beef that is locally sourced, which also reduces a carbon footprint.
Yeah, same here, I run OPNsense and make use of Unbound's blacklist feature to similar (and surprisingly potent!) effect, along with Suricata and Sensei. I have had to manually whitelist some stuff though.

False-positives, things that are good defaults but advanced users should be able to bypass, or just plain unfortunately necessary workarounds are certainly all issues though. I think user available fallbacks can be useful sometimes for that reason. Like at a site using 802.1x auth, set it up so users can append "-noblock" to their login and then it'll change them into a different VLAN which can just point at a different DNS (or alternately Unbound supports views for split-brain DNS).
That steel and concrete builds new buildings, it doesn't get sent down to the dump to rot. This is a common refrain I hear against individual action, but those industrial emitters aren't doing it because they love how CO2 smells. They are producing consumer goods or in a supply chain to produce consumer goods.
Yes this tool is pretty crappy. Gave me same kind of advice for my nojs, no img personal website. I do agree with the website's manifest though.

I still don't see how our individual actions can have a widespread impact regarding climate change, sure, it will have some effect, but I'm willing to bet it would add up to fractions in the end. Pushing political and economic leaders to take action by tackling just the top mega polluters on the other hand seems like it would have significant impact https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac13f1
Trees with their own conversion capacity are indeed a good interim solution, but in the long term this form of carbon storage isn't as permanent as rocks, especially given how prone trees are to dying and decaying in the biosphere of today. The Devonian didn't have that problem. For example, parts of the Amazon have become greenhouse gas emitters even when human-caused deforestation is discounted.

There's also the very real possibility of forest fires releasing huge amounts of carbon at once. Even dead trees preserved in peat bogs could burn and release carbon in this manner.

Rocks have their own weaknesses such as ocean acidification, but relatively speaking they're much more stable.
I don't understand your argument, can a western salary better absorb these taxes? Sure but how does imposing CO2 tax "protect their lifestyles"? The tax is based on how much CO2 you produce so rich people who consume more also end up paying more.
Furthermore the tax aligns incentives to actually decrease CO2 production by finding greener alternatives.
Last but not least pointing fingers at each other for past transgressions does very little to actually help the do or die situation that climate change is rapidly turning into.
I think the point is that we don’t specify how many children people can have at all. In addition to being ethically dubious, it has a high chance of backfiring as it had in China, and likely will be ineffective, as most population growth is currently relatively localized to a few areas of the world like the Middle East and Africa. Places like the US or Europe or East Asia have already largely stabilized population wise. What remains to be done is making the emissions per person sustainable, which isn’t true especially in the West. This in turn will make the technologies required for reducing emissions cheaper and more widespread for those countries that are still growing to utilize before their emissions per capital grows to that of current rich nations. Population control is a non-starter.
Will that help though? Capitalism and "letting the market figure it out" is how we got here. None of the systems in place work and are completely skippable by those with cash.

Most news come either from news agencies ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_agency ) and and are rewritten by news sites and papers.

Basically they get a text that states facts and they rewrite it.

This happens since actual reporting is costy: paper press has no money to send people everywhere. In fact many websites dont even pay to the agencies - they just parrot the news from other paper or website. This article quotes the "Guardian" and few other sources. So it seems it is not an original source.

Being an original source is not only costy. Problem is that others will parrot you - and you dont get any money for that.

Putting some interns to sit all day and parrot 4 articles per day is surprisingly easy if you can get some photos.

On a side note: I read an article when a real reporter joined a boiler room website, where they were paid to manufacture 4-8 fake articles per day. Basically fake news, attacks on political opponents, "commentary" and similar. They basically were paid to invent lies all day - with one caveat - try to not get sued. Hard to debunk a room that produces say 6 x 4 = 24 fake articles per day. That's how those russian KGB propaganda mills operate. They mostly parrot and quote each other. Some unknown website writes blantant lies, this is parroted to an article - and then those fake news sites parrot it more and quote some source that nobody from Italy heard about (often the source intentionally gets lost in the cycle of quotes). You can easily generate lies that cause outrage.
Corporations can be held liable and punished, they can be forced to declare bankruptcy and forced to dissolve. I would call that execution.

The entire purpose of Corporate Personhood is to apply these disadvantageous purposes to a corporate entity. It is also to limit liability on the stakeholders, so that if you start a company, and the company goes south, your creditors can't destroy your life by taking all of your personal assets.

But when there is actual criminal activity, the liability protection of the corporation can be completely ignored and individual bad actors can be pursued in the courts. This is called "Piercing the corporate veil"[0].

Legal personhood is a legal fiction that has been granted to innumerous "entities" including the environment itself (see, for example, the Ganges River's personhood[1]. Furthermore, it does not grant full personhood for obvious reasons. A legal person cannot vote or be represented in government.

I'm a liberal democrat, but god do these "Corporations aren't people" memes make me cringe. Things like limited liability and corporate personhood not only allow for incredible economic growth through financial innovation, but also provide benefit to individuals harmed by the corporation. If a corporation didn't have legal personhood, how else could a victim sue the entity and receive a settlement? The only "people" they could sue would be individual stakeholders.

Wouldn’t those rights include the ability to have the number of children they see fit?
Interested is one thing. Companies are interested in many things. Equality, human rights support, sustainability, etc. That doesn't mean they value them more than something which influences the bottom line. Or will adopt them at a cost to the bottom line.

If you're going to pitch slower and more expensive development to a team, it needs a lot better hook than this.

... Unless we're talking about Exxon, who will probably adopt this tomorrow to show how seriously they take climate change.
As an implied American, maybe you should? I mean look at North America's footprint compared to anyone else...
Simple.

1. Encrypt everything.

2. Don't store images on your servers at all.

There's nothing to report if all you have is some encrypted blob. Alternatively, just don't consume any user data at all. Data is and should be a massive liability.
Come on, it's not that GP, or me, or you willed 2-day prime delivery into existence. It's something Amazon, and other companies, offer. It can be "given up" by everyone, without any objection, by said companies deciding not to offer it anymore. People will grumble and adapt, because they can't really do much about it.

The leverage over this, and all other conveniences, rests squarely with the companies offering them. People choose out of what's available on the market, not from the space of possible offerings.
I mean there is improvement in some regards, that for example priests or teacher molesters do not silently get moved to a different place in the same job anymore, but yeah - we can easily spot the actual problems on the ground now. One more reason to reject dystopian technological solutions that also do not solve the real problems: children in need of a real protected home.

It’s interesting that the author tucks this line neatly into the middle of an article otherwise focused on a generalized notion of stupidity. The implication is left unsaid, wisely.
Interestingly, iOS 15 is the first version of iOS in history to be optional if you want security updates. You will be able to choose if you want to go to iOS 15 and get the new features (including the CSAM prevention stuff), or you can stay on a security update only channel for iOS 14 (for a unknown period, but I'd guess until WWDC 2022?

Can you find some of these carbon neutral humans in first-world countries to show me, as an example?

Regrettably you still did not commit to a direct answer.

"I'm merely pointing out" was a response of evasive prevarication in spite of me asking you to be direct.

Three comments later all I'm reading is a very strong implication of disagreement with no concrete reasons mixed with a lot of sowing of doubt based on ancillary points.

Even if that is true and significant, I don't really find high income people skipping overtime to be major problem?

But I'm curious to read more about the claim that doctors skipping overtime due to high taxes, can you share a link?

Furthermore, the aim can't be to institutionalise overtime through tax cuts (I don't believe it would work either and those would in turn have other effects) but to increase the amount of doctors.
This reasoning is working well in the War on Drugs, so let's not only employ it, but embrace and extend it, as well.
