Yep, the problem we had was all our tests ran fine on dev machines (local tz) but failed when deployed to production (UTC). We were doing some pretty complicated time calculations so it caused us a lot of trouble. I didn’t want to mandate UTC because the code should work deterministically regardless if the server time zone. But also, technically it’s a bug if you think you’re working in UTC, but you’re actually working in clock face time.
That’s like building a tank and saying it’ll only be used for deliveries. Once the infrastructure is in place on every device to detect arbitrary images/messages on the device the switch will be flipped.
No. I've already written that obviously the amount of children of each individual can't determine what a living wage is supposed to be, but then you still twist this to be a question of subsidy to the business in bad faith?
Ironically I have often found the cheaper models to be more reliable because they tend to be less complex, less parts, and are "dumb" mechanical machines vs these "smart" devices that are to clever for their own good
It's not lecturing. It's pointing out that there is no realistic scenario in which western countries can prevent CO2 from getting to dangerous levels. Even if emissions went to zero, it would only push the timeline back a few years

This is the problem I have with people who claim to care about the catastrophic impact of climate change. It's more about claiming moral victory over western countries than it is about actually working to reduce the CO2 in the environment. If someone was about to destroy the world, wouldn't your main focus be on preventing that to happen rather than Monday morning quarterbacking the last 100 years of industrialization?
True. Although nothing-to-hiders will chime in quickly, stating that their shopping history isn't really that important to their sense of privacy.
I'd say many are ready for individual action but are discouraged on a daily basis especially by

- hypocritical politicians and environmentalists traveling the world on first class/private jets

- negativity like yours and the one I originally answered

- misinformation/information overload/infighting: whatever good someone tries to do someone will pop up to explain why it is bad: nuclear, organic, frugality, you name it, someone will magically pop up to tell you how worthless exactly your contribution is.

I say: almost every effort is worthwhile as long as one doesn't actively destroy. At least spread enthusiasm and knowledge.
Well, the alternatives for CFC-generating are already developed and in the marketplace. There are still no equivalent alternatives for many oil-using products. Kind of indicates that it is technically easier.

The fact that there are CFC replacements but not oil replacements for all use-cases indicates that it's more difficult, no?

> basically everyone agrees it's cheaper to deal with climate change

I'm not sure that's the case. Seems like a lot of people are either hoping that it's not going to affect them that much, or that some miracle technology will be developed which will fix the problem more cheaply and not require any change in behavior on their part.
"Durable/fixable hardware" is a more important matter than climate change? Only on hackernews folks...
Presumably they're referring to requirements for vaccinations to attend large public gatherings.

I think it's an absurd hyperbole, myself.
Fine, then let’s talk about other countries.

Does anyone seriously doubt that Germany will use this mechanism to ban Nazi imagery?

Then from there, it’s not a big leap to talk about controlling far right (or far left) memes in France or the UK.

More insidiously, suppose some politician in a western liberal democracy was caught with underage kids, and there were blackmail photos that leaked. Do you think those hashes wouldn’t instantly make their way onto this ban list?
Jeez, just drown the land in VX-5 then, seriously, it's faster, probably cheaper, and actually safer. I mean, your goal is already quite clearly "kill the entire country's population" — because you have trouble with guerilla warfare only when the population actually supports them and replenishes their resources, including human resources — so just go with a more optimal tool, would you.
I often commit small org-mode style Todo files right in the repo (for personal projects), and it actually helps to see how the Todo list evolved with the project. It ends up not being a transient list of random stuff to do, but an evolving vision for the future. Maybe there's something to it...
But look, you've been using Emacs for 10 years! That's ages in software time these days.

The downside to software that lasts a long time is that yes, vocabulary will change. So now you change to CUA compliant keybinds. Then the world changes again and now you're constantly chasing whatever is new and disrupting your users by throwing your whole "can use for 10+ years" value prop out the window.
We have literal psycopathic leaders in some positions and people still say to me " but why would they do that to us". Why would power hungry psycopaths hurt us? How do I communicate with this?
I read an interesting article on the Big Lie over the weekend and it mentioned an example from 2016 where private non-profit conservative groups were involved in promoting Green and Independent candidates with the intention of diluting vote for Dem candidates.

Probably not related, but worth mentioning the coincidence just because it was such a good article https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/08/09/the-big-money-...
I find it laughable whenever someone says "this is the last straw" because it just shows how incredibly misinformed they are.

Yes, backdooring E2E encryption in general is a bad idea. However, consider two things:

* iCloud Photos was never E2E encrypted in the first place. They already can scan your photos all they want server-side, and they have been scanning for CSAM since 2019, while Google has been scanning for it since 2009. Yes, if iCloud Photos were to become E2E encrypted leaving in a backdoor like this could be bad, but it's still the lesser of two evils. Would you rather they keep photos non-E2E forever and have even more unfettered access to them than a "backdoor" allows? It does NOT scan photos that are not uploaded to the cloud, despite being on-device. And it's important to note the threshold and manual human review system put in place before the authorities receive any notification at all.

* For iMessage, all this entails is warning children under 18 about explicit content, and optionally notifying parents if the child is under 13 and the parent opted in. (I don't think it even sends the photo itself to the parents, but that's not explicitly clarified anywhere.) At no point do Apple or the authorities learn the contents of E2E encrypted iMessages. (Also worth noting: if you use iCloud Backup, your messages are no longer E2E encrypted in the backup, as Apple holds the keys to that. This was true even before the new system was introduced.)
Read the second part of my comment. It's about 10% from trade based manufacturing. Of course this is difficult to measure, but I think its safe to say the lion's share of CO2 emissions are from consumption.

> And it's not that China is producing emissions during manufacturing goods the entire world consumes. Take a look at "China: Consumption-based accounting: how do emissions compare when we adjust for trade?" and you'll see ~90% of their emissions are for consumption [2]

[2] https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/china
Assuming this is correct (I only followed a couple of links, but it would be the EU planning to mandate content scan for CSAM on all e-mail and messaging platforms, after making it legal/optional already to do so earlier this year), I guess this answer the question of why Apple released their tech.

While it made little sense on iCloud Photos, they can add the exact same client-side scanning to iMessage and keep it (mostly) e2ee.

Certainly not judging the merits of this, such mandates would be the end of e2ee via third party companies (there seems to have been a concerted worldwide effort around that), but at the very least, I can see the impetus from Apple's point of view to release this right now.
So you're becoming richer but sacrifice yourself and stash the money under your bed? Because if you're spending the money you're consuming and thereby contributing to the pressure on the environment. That does not make much sense to me as a way of life.

You also do not seem to realise how much more you're already consuming compared to the poor on this planet. If everyone was consuming as much as your family is then the environment would be in even worse shape than it is now.

If we want poverty eradicated and everyone to enjoy a high standard of living then consumption per capita has to increase globally. My belief is that everyone has the right to have a high standard of living and to enjoy greenery, nature, living space. The only way this is sustainable is if the number of people decreases to compensate.
Here’s a long article addressing this idea specifically. Though this person was chastised quite brutally for being “negative”.

>The notion that humanity would go extinct from any of this is absolutely unrealistic

Why not?

With the current societal focus on materialism and luxury, perpetuation of greed and glorification of power, climate need not do much. Wipe out some fraction of the population is all it needs to do.

The rest will be done by us.

> No raindrop is responsible for the flood eh?

Indeed. Have you ever seen meteorologists appealing to raindrops? Have you ever seen a hydrologist counting water in fraction of CCs? A flood management system where individual droplets mattered?

No, a flood is a bulk event. It's managed like a system, using means with leverage over whole flows. Measurement starts with cubic meters. Nobody gives a damn about single raindrops, they're immaterial.

Same applies here. Focusing on regular individuals, and trying to get them to change their life style one by one, against the gradient of economic incentives controlling all of our lives, is like trying to pluck individual raindrops from rushing flood water. It's insane to even try. The answer is in redirecting the water stream; the droplets sort themselves out.

> This is why the problem will never be dealt with.

No, the problem will never be dealt with for as long as we focus on attempts to brow-beat everyone into self-sacrifice - to which people naturally react by ignoring the beating and resenting the beaters.

Now it's very difficult to search for an exact match. Seems like the inverted index is not used at all, and instead just encyclopedia like results are returned. Which is fine sometimes, but not when I'm looking for a phone or an function name. I would think that a neural ranking should return also the quality of the results and change to the old algorithm if it is worse than expected. But no.

At least academic Google still seems to use the old ranking function by now.
The West lowered their CO2 production by moving all manufacturing to China, so this isn't too surprising. Also, China, like most of the world except for Afrika, has a shrinking population (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_rate).

China needs to start building nuclear power plants and replace all those coal plants.
Will be nice to find a program library of examples. It seems that it could do interesting things.
Why does it matter? You should care about the absolute numbers. The amount of CO2 the earth can reasonably sustain doesn't go up as the global population grows...
> large public gatherings.

In some counties it is much broader than that. Painting it as hyperbole sounds hollow if you are downplaying it yourself.
Anecdotally, I got a 60% pay bump by switching jobs a couple of months ago, to a company that's has a "you can come into the office if you want, but it's optional" policy, and said I should be able to remain remote as long as I want. But I was also underpaid at my previous role. If I was getting paid what I should have, it would have been closer to a 15-20% bump.

But you may be right for the general trend, especially within companies. Right now though, there's a lot of demand for software engineers, so if the company is trying to hire a software engineer that has multiple and higher offers elsewhere, they need to raise what they're offering to get those people.

I.e. the recruiters representing companies that had a max budget of about 10-20% higher than my salary at my now previous job, I quickly removed myself from consideration as I talked to more recruiters offering significantly higher salary ranges, and those that gave me job offers that were lower than the company I went with and weren't willing to raise their offer to be competitive I didn't go with. And plenty of those lower salary ranges had at least a hybrid working in the office requirement also.

So at least right now, I think for people job hunting seeking WFH positions, they're not seeing much lower offers than those working in the office just because companies are struggling to fill positions in general right now and there's a lot of demand out there. What you're saying will probably be more true once there's a downturn again, and probably true once you're part of the company (but then again, even in the office I never saw a significant raise anyway, and always had to switch jobs to get the raise I desired/deserved).
If it was indeed built for spies as they claim then I would expect that they know how to track communications through it because you have to know when your spies are leaking materials or have gone rogue.
Ask HN: What if we registered products and charged manufacturers when dumped?
This is the only idea I have that I can imagine might curb the onslaught of cheap/unrepairable products from being created.

When a manufacturer creates anything, before it's allowed to be sold to a member of the public, it gets registered with some global authority.

Whenever you dump something in the local landfill, the manufacturer is charged for their product being dumped, not the consumer.

The junk being dumped in landfills is not typically the consumer's fault.

We all buy products in good faith that they are made well and will hopefully last us a lifetime.

Why should we bear the brunt of disposing of some predatory manufacturer's built-to-fail product?

Thoughts?
I saw the Xyla Foxlin video about this (and her treadmill version) and that was a fun build to watch.

> There have been societies that couldn't even think about that problem.

This sounds like what Iain Banks referred to as an OCP - an Outside Context Problem [0].

As TFA describes:

"Crudely put, it occurs when you don’t have the right conceptual tools for the job. The result is an inability to make sense of what is happening and a resulting tendency to force phenomena into crude, distorting pigeonholes."

I suspect the cautious thinkers are always alert, to the point of being hyper-sensitive, to this risk - manifesting in imposter syndrome through excessively cautious, highly qualified caveats around their messages, etc.

We circle back towards a generic DK effect, while introspection leads to further introspection.

That's not normal. Both my Siemens washer & dryer will reach 10 years this December and both are working like new. Price wise in the 75th percentile models (of Siemens).

The dryer is a heat pump model, which was quite a bit more expensive than other models at the time. The salesperson at the local MediaMarkt even recommend against it, since you would never 'make the money back' in energy costs from it. This is quite wrong. In fact, with EU energy prices you recoup the difference within 2 years using it twice a week.

>> collective action isn't something we can rely on

hmmm

>>Governments need to

You do understand that government is collective action, and you should not rely on it right?

> tax CO2 emissions on the business side

I am still opposed to Co2 taxation in most of the implementations proposed. it ends up just creating perverse incentives for companies to game the system, Just look at how destructive ewaste regulations have been for the environment were you have companies preventing the repair of their products to ensure they get "credit" for the destruction (aka recycle) of reparable electrics that then simply end up in some 3rd world nation for children to pick through

I just cation that you need to fully look at the unintended consequences of taxation and government regulation, the road to hell is paves with good intentions. If you think the world has problems, what until you see government solutions to those problems...
That's the exact same fallacy you are proposing to fix a symptom and not the problem. You want to reign in the government YOU ARE ELECTING TO GOVERN you with technology instead of real political work. Either vote different or get into politics and fix yourself.

Your wikipedia link doesn't show anything regarding abuse of the governing body ALL of the examples are from private persons.
I completely agree and think pricing should reflect more of the externalities.

Side note: I do not consider myself a "handy" person. Never cared much for fixing things around the house. However, thanks to YouTube and (at least in the US) RepairClinic, I have found that certain kinds of repairs to appliances are actually easy and I can get them done much more quickly than when calling a repair service because RepairClinic has the parts in stock. (I have the added benefit of living ~30 minute drive from RepairClinic.)

Also, I haven't personally found a correlation between price and reliability.
Because that 60% from coal is more or less shared across everyone, but flights are, on the global scale, a luxury item. In many cases, taking a transatlantic flight emits more CO2 equivalent than your average person commuting for a year.

So even though aviation is a small part of it all, it is one of the individual actions able to have outsized impact, usually for leisure or at least often for non-essential reasons.
So if China splits in to West China and East China, each can emit twice as much CO2?
Lots of interesting details here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mr10/cpl2bcpl.pdf
The instabilities that come from it may very well put us into a full blown dark age, the economic & societal stresses may bring dialogue to a halt, civil & military conflicts most certainly will rise along with it and with it the world would accelerate in the way of catastrophe instead of moving towards adapting or fixing. It won't go down well, you're deluding yourself if you think it won't propagate to the rest of reality. It would be a self-reinforcing loop of tragedies, downward spiraling.
I try fixing everything that I have ever bought before I am forced to throw it out, but some products are literally built to fail.

I bought a rechargeable electric razor once, worked for a few years, but eventually it wouldn't even run when plugged into the wall directly.

The reason? The power supply went through two incredibly cheap, soldered in, rechargeable batteries before it went to the motor.

I couldn't even circumvent the batteries, because the power that charged them was stronger than the power the motor drew.

So frustrating.

U.S. Senate Vote in Favor of Amendment That Threatens Crypto Industry
> There is nearly a 1-to-1 relationship between people who deal in CP and people who abuse children. And they rarely victimize just one child. Nearly 1 in 10 children in the US will be sexually abused before the age of 18.

These are clearly propaganda statistics. There is absolutely no way 10% of the US child population is molested.

The fact that you not only believe this, but repeat it publicly calls into question your judgement and gullibility.

You’ve been recruited to undermine the privacy and security of hundreds of millions (billions?) of people and indoctrinated with utterly ridiculous statistics. Your argument is essentially “the ends justify the means”, and it could not be any more ethically hollow.
> One child less means halving population after every generation

I really don't see the problem here? It's not like having a large population is in itself a noble goal that makes life better for people.
This is slightly off topic but I have been using this trick lately to try to determine which part of a news article is likely to be BS: read the article in the movie announcer voice (you know the one: “in a world gone mad, one man…”). Whatever headlines or parts of the article sound boring are likely to be legit and whatever parts sound like they would fit in an action movie are likely overblown, underreseaeched, irrelevant, etc. Try it with this passage:

> They even brought in several of science's biggest names, including Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson, to help decide who was right.
