Well, there are still lots of people who take the bible literal:

"Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them."

https://www.bibleref.com/Proverbs/13/Proverbs-13-24.html

This is the ideological base for it, in my opinion. Unchecked authoritive power tpgether with physical violence. The thing is, the state institutions have not really a clean record on abuse either.

And I did not say anything about excluding the family from monitoring of abuse. I said I see no reason to increase the monitoring. With the meassure in place right now, you could spot plenty of abuse already everywhere - if it would be really about the children.

No easy problem, no easy solution.
It's not my fault that I was too young to vote at the last EU elections. That's changed since and you bet your ass that I'll vote for the right people when I'm able to. Also raising awareness and promoting a petition about an issue isn't the same as raising pitchforks.
I'm thinking there's a subtext here...
"In the 2010s, [Parallel] was first backed by In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the United States’ global spy agency, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)."

No thanks.
No, and I hate that people shorten cryptocurrency to crypto.

Still their per-capita emissions are lower, which is kind of what really matters given nations and borders are essentially a social construction, personal consumption/emissions are not.

As I mentioned previously, reducing China's total emissions would require reducing their per-capita emissions to such a low amount it would essentially be condemning much of the population to live in abject poverty (especially as large parts of the nation has not yet industrialised).

Given the far, far higher per-capita emissions of countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia etc. it wouldn't surprise me if China refused to slow economic development in order to reduce emissions.
i think that's trivializing the word "exclusion". Choosing the bohemian urbanite lifestyle is an incredibly luxurious choice compared to the reality of a disabled person, a parent who wants to care for their kids or a person caring for elderly parents somewhere in eastern europe. For the cases you 're talking about , remote work will always be beneficial: if there are no more "central business districts", real estate prices will fall precipitously. I also don't see how remote work will lead to anything but reduction of economic inequality. For example , blue collar work will remain the same, it will just be distributed in wide areas instead of cramped city centers, allowing workers to rent more cheaply. On the other end , highly paid jobs like doctors cannot become remote.
The second cube continued to burn, its sides falling into the slag pile that had consumed the first. "You know, we could make it flare up by throwing some water on it," one of the Livermore engineers suggested. It seemed like a good idea to us, so he pulled out a garden hose with a trigger nozzle and doused the fire with a few quick spurts. The water instantly turned to steam. Thick clouds of white smoke bellowed forwards, out of the chamber. We were covered with a fine white powder.

North America produces only 1/3 of the amount of CO2 that the Asia-Pacific region does. Sure the per-capita argument flips it on its head, but the climate doesn't care about per-capita CO2, the real amount is what matters.
Thanks for the data point!

I would still argue that BN and NdT are only the biggest names in pop science (as in people who wear “I <3 science” t shirts) and not in science as in academia. But that’s cool that they did weigh in on this subject.
maybe the contact to Amazon said something like "The seller is harassing me" not "The Seller is contacting me outside of official Amazon channels and harassing me", and probably, if you just dropped the harassing me it would be even more important to Amazon to shut that down.
Is the climate change problem moral or political-economic-scientific?
A few days ago, someone posted that where s/he lives you can get some money returning aluminum cans to the recycling center (or something like that). But the cans must not be crushed, because they must scan the barcode to identify the producer. The problem is that it is very inefficient to carry a lot of uncrushed cans, so this makes recycling more difficult.

Identifying the products in their way to the landfill may be difficult.
Ask HN: Money vs. Passion – What would you do?
I have an offer for a semi-tech role at a startup and they're giving me solid equity. Like if it moderately works out I'll get the price of a house.

What I'd rather do is code - either work on my own thing (who doesn't I guess) or just be a SWE at a cool startup. To do that I'd like to take a year out of my current (semi-tech) role and do a MSc. Also, in terms of risk I don't have a wife and kids yet.

How do I balance these priorities?
I don't have many people to ask about this stuff..
> Governments need to tax CO2 emissions on the business side

Europe is so taxed I can't even fart without paying to the government. Don't get me wrong, I get a lot for what I pay, but it's borderline too much.
> They have failed to build systems and processess that enables sustainable living.

Mainly because they haven't tried. It simply wasn't a priority or necessity.

But looking forward, there's two options: (1) we invent new technology to sustain a high-energy civilisation - the only realistic scenario is that this invention comes from the developed world; (2) we revert to low-energy (pre 20th century) civilization.

I'd prefer (1).
China is more or less a single political body. If you're talking about large scale political coordination to prevent climate events, then it makes sense to focus on the largest autonomous contributor
It depends. In France unoins will organize public gatherings and won't be fined or closed because they have real power to shut down a whole sector of the economy and the ability to negotiate with the government.
I was actually expecting this would have something to say about programming frameworks that abuse system resources, waste memory and peg client & server CPU, and maybe even about programmers who blame the equipment for not accommodating their abuse, and maybe even at the greatest extreme, about a tendency to blame software problems on easy corporate targets while ignoring open source accountability. Maybe going even further still to talk about software churn, framework-of-the-month rewrite-everything mentalities, and so forth.

I mean, hey, there are things we can do besides picketing amazon for building spaceships instead of solar arrays.
So, without a p-n junction, then we can break the Shockley–Queisser limit. Which states that in traditional photovoltaic cells you'll never get past 1/3rd efficiency. And until now I didn't even know that ferroelectric absorbers were a thing. Pretty amazing! https://www.nature.com/articles/nphoton.2016.143
> we vote on who to send to EU parliament.

You are describing a representative democracy, the parent pointed out the lack of direct democracy in the process. And I would tend to agree that there needs to be more direct democracy involved at some point in the policy making process to accommodate just such a scenario where it's clear the vast majority are not happy with the result.

Representative democracy has it's place, but the reality is that you cannot pick and choose - most people want privacy, but most people are also aware of the wider issues and concerned if the fringe parties are competent enough in making decisions in other areas. Perhaps a good compromise is to be able to shoot down their propositions, so that even though they may not further the ideals the majority want in all areas, they will at least be prevented from eroding them. But as the parent pointed out, there is no mechanism in place to do this currently, so people are limited to protests and petitions.
For FBA buyer info isn’t released. Emails are obfuscated and proxies via @amazon.comm domain.

They did release this info up to about 2y ago.
What are you personally doing? I see a lot of these appeal-to-emotion type posts, especially among my friend on the West coast, then they all buy Subarus, eat meat every day, fly to Hawaii, and buy big houses.
Yup. Have done and will continue to do exactly this. While I don't find the Pirate party's policies comprehensive enough for my national government, I do find the EU parliament the perfect level of government for the issue they address to be handled at.
While it's neat to be able to run the actual OS, the title as provided from the blog is a bit misleading. Adafruit also did something similar a few days ago with Solaris.
I may be the only one as I see no one else has commented so, but when I read "build your own..." I'm thinking the actual hardware, or compatible. They should call these articles something like "Run XXX OS and software on your existing machine."
Disinfectant Fogging Service in Sunderland
fogging your room with a disinfecting solution to kill harmful bacteria’s is called Disinfectant fogging in Sunderland. Disinfection products are a great way to disinfect your surrounding. The fogging method for disinfection seems better than others to kill bacteria and disinfect your surrounding.
Most of the world does not have a shrinking population. The birth rates may be below replacement, but populations are still growing as the age structure shifts. Japan has achieved true negative population growth.
Judging by the index it is more like a "shell 101" plus some bash. Also a paid one.

It's cool, people need such stuff but the title is misleading and the article is basically an ad for a paid service.
The other problem with insect protein is it doesn’t qualify as vegetarian (nor the new hip name “plant based”), so it’s not clear who it is marketed to.
Hm not really but I do update my repo on github.com. It's all work in progress stuff being designed as I go.

You realize a single or even multiple MPs cant block the passing of laws in parlaiment, since laws are passed by majorities, not consensus/unanimiusly. So please do get out those pitch, especially since this is the next level of surveillance.
This is worse.

If they ban encryption tech sector will kick up enough noise that even non tech people will at least notice.

This way, it essentially opens a backdoor. Changing this from scanning hashes of pictures stored locally, to scanning for arbitrary things stored locally probably is not monumental task ( next in line probably hate speech ).

And once you have that capability it's hard to argue to governments that you cant let them scan the content of either particular phone, or all of the phones, for whatever they want, which could be: .*

This way, the message to non techies will be, we are protecting children, but bunch of online weirdos and maybe pedophiles don't want us too.
Most critically: the wind is not turning the propeller.

If you watch the videos when the thing is first getting going, it is slow enough to see that the propeller is actually spinning in the opposite direction it would be if it was acting as a windmill.
The company I work for blocks Google Translate. IT claims it's the default that comes with the filtering software it uses.

Fortunately, since I build multi-lingual web sites, I was able to get an exemption from the security department.

(No, I don't use Google Translate to translate web sites. The company has three internal and two external professional translators for that. But sometimes when I'm copying-and-pasting between versions, I like a little reassurance that what I'm pasting is what I think it is.)
They also have a different sensitivity upon consideration of who the other party is and their perceived/intended use of the data.

Except once their data is out, they have no control over where it will end up. Profiling data is regularly sold to third parties.

It looks really neat. Surprisingly, even only a small portion of the floor is real.
I can understand your frustration, but I still don't think you understand how this CO2 tax scheme works.

The money raised from the CO2 tax does not leave your country, but is gathered in a climate fund, that the EU member country generally uses to grant subsidies for energy efficiency and renewable transition. So, more tax should mean more grants for renewables, but that depends how your country sets up the conditions to grant the subsidies.

The biggest emmiters also generally get a certain amount of CO2 emission coupons for free. If they go over their allotment, then they need to buy coupons on market, which is where the money can leave your country.

That the EU dislikes nuclear is IMHO a poor decision. Generating electricity from nuclear fission is one of energy miracles. No fuel gets such energy density.
A "climate change guy" would be someone who gets everyone to use a train or a bus, not a premium sedan.
China's population will age out soon enough and with that their emissions should reduce.

I wonder if xiaomi will do that as well.

Looking for a 100% remote position, mainly back end but I have a wide range of experience all over the stack. Not looking for a young startup environment. Looking to solve interesting problems without a grind.
That is a very interesting observation. I often travel back to those pages too as part of my job and now that you mention it, yes. That is exactly what I see too. It’s absolutely garbage. I will sometimes pull a SERP with 100 results looking to see if something is there. I will find garbage way before I find a result I think should be somewhere in that mix. Especially before SPAM related results.
> Downwind, when the vehicle is traveling faster than the windspeed, the ground is the fastest-moving medium relative to the vehicle, so the wheels harvest the power and impart it to the rotor, which propels the vehicle.

So the wind pushes the vehicle faster than wind speed to start with? How?
The point of this report isn't to convince denialists. That ship, as you note, has long since sailed.

This is a report to governments, quantifying the damage based on the most recent models. It's designed to help guide policy and international coordination -- the kinds of problems you get to after you've gotten past the "waah, it's not happening and if it is it's not my fault" tantrum.

We on the Internet are busily engaging that tantrum, but we're not really scientists, at least not climate scientists. The climate scientists are several steps ahead, doing real work. We're stuck re-litigating long-ago battles with non-scientists because non-scientists don't hold themselves to any scientific standard. They can deny forever, and by their own rules, they're winning.
The realistic future is Chinese social media companies (and by proxy Chinese govt) ruling the internet instead of Facebook and Twitter :)
No they are not. Birth rates have declined in India and China as well. However, all those people have to live ssomewhere. So, per capita emissions are more than fair and accurate. If that is not the right way to look at it then how about the US (second highest level of total CO2 emissions behind China) reduce it to the level of, say, Lichtenstein.
Do countries really ascend the same tech tree? Is there no way of avoiding the coal levels in order to level up to cold fusion?
We don't have features that take 10,000 lines of code. Our biggest features get split among a couple smaller PRs to review them along the way.

I know there's a case for larger feature branches that accumulate an entire large feature before being merged into master, but in a world of microservices, it's just not a use case we've had to consider.

And reverting PRs happens occasionally, but because changes are much smaller than the scale of what I assume you deal with, we never have many (if any) merge conflicts to deal with. We primarily deploy new features with feature flags, so it's vastly easier to just turn them off until we can fix the issue.
To be very specific -- if you want a carbon fee & dividend, which is strongly supported by both economists and scientists as the most efficient, effective way to get the USA to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, call and write your senator as soon as you can using this link which will help you out with instructions (as well as explain more details if you're interested):

It only takes about 10 minutes! Right now we have the best chance we've had in a long time to get meaningful climate legislation passed.
Every July I watch eagerly a certain country graveyard that I pass in driving to and from my farm. It is time for a prairie birthday, and in one corner of this graveyard lives a surviving celebrant of that once important event.
It is an ordinary graveyard, bordered by the usual spruces, and studded with the usual pink granite or white marble headstones, each with the usual Sunday bouquet of red or pink geraniums. It is extraordinary only in being triangular instead of square, and in harboring, within the sharp angle of its fence, a pin-point remnant of the native prairie on which the graveyard was established in the 1840's. Heretofore unreachable by scythe or mower, this yard-square relic of original Wisconsin gives birth, each July, to a man-high stalk of compass plant or cutleaf Silphium, spangled with saucer-sized yellow blooms resembling sunflowers. It is the sole remnant of this plant along this highway, and perhaps the sole remnant in the western half of our county. What a thousand acres of Silphiums looked like when they tickled the bellies of the buffalo is a question never again to be answered, and perhaps not even asked.

This year I found the Silphium in first bloom on 24 July, a week later than usual; during the last six years the average date was 15 July.

When I passed the graveyard again on 3 August, the fence had been removed by a road crew, and the Silphium cut. It is easy now to predict the future; for a few years my Silphium will try in vain to rise above the mowing machine, and then it will die. With it will die the prairie epoch.

The Highway Department says that 100,000 cars pass yearly over this route during the three summer months when the Silphium is in bloom. In them must ride at least 100,000 people who have 'taken' what is called history, and perhaps 25,000 who have 'taken' what is called botany. Yet I doubt whether a dozen have seen the Silphium, and of these hardly one will notice its demise. If I were to tell a preacher of the adjoining church that the road crew has been burning history books in his cemetery, under the guise of mowing weeds, he would be amazed and uncomprehending. How could a weed be a book?

This is one little episode in the funeral of the native flora, which in turn is one episode in the funeral of the floras of the world. Mechanized man, oblivious of floras, is proud of his progress in cleaning up the landscape on which, willy-nilly, he must live out his days. It might be wise to prohibit at once all teaching of real botany and real history, lest some future citizen suffer qualms about the floristic price of his good life."

--Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
The theory would be that many people are stupid. Of course we only know about criminals who get caught and that tends to be because they made a mistake, so it looks like most criminals are stupid.
I guess here we want a fluid with high heat capacity, but which can perform well under lower pressure than an equivalent amount of steam. Good candidates are substances with low mollecular weights and which don't react with the pipes and turbine materials. Alternatives here can be helium or argon etc, but CO2 is far cheaper.

Supercritical CO2 or helium also perform better when the heat source is hotter, which is suitable for the Brayton cycle. It's also why they are frequently mentioned when talking about high temperature next-gen nuclear, or concentrated solar.
Wow if you can't distinguish between rogue agents and an institutional abuse of power there is nothing left to argue.
I'm sorry, what country were you from again, that has a human rights record so much cleaner than the EU? It sounds like a lovely place.
Possibly because the threat of nuclear war was a lot more real in the 50s?
The problem is, this CO2 difference is mostly because China has only 1/4 the per capita income of the US, and that income gap is rapidly closing.
One day… two suns. Talk about playing God. :-)

That sounds like fascinating research.
I agree. Single examples of extreme weather will happen. They will be unlikely under the null hypothesis and slightly more likely under a hypothesis of global warming, but single examples are not definitive proof of any kind.

In other words, there may well be lots of good evidence that death by lightning is decreasing (there is) but "look, this year only three people died compared to 11 last year!" is definitely not sufficient on its own.

Again, death by horse kick in the Prussian army is probably a relatively constant cause, but seeing that "3 people died that way last year and this year!" is not proof.

However, maybe they are the sort of narrative that helps less statistically sophisticated people understand. You and I can get our understanding from the relatively solid science and probabilistic reasoning. Many people can't, and the only way to teach them is by example, even if that method is technically flawed.
Can it be done with solar sails?
How would you do it? With whatsapp you have the file on messaging partner’s phone. People do not want to share their images over a peer network with random people.
I still don't understand why they thought that's a good idea. Or why any of them thinks it is.
Does anybody have an idea how big child pornography is on the internet? Are those measures commensurate with the size of the problem? I'm asking seriously.

Having learned to code and getting a degree before going to get a job at a shop that had a ton of Fortran floating around, I'd say I grew to appreciate how direct it was for just doing math. And after working at later jobs where the scientists were allowed to write code in more expansive expressive languages than just Fortran, I really came to appreciate how Fortran enabled scientists to do science in such a way that they did not write unholy abominations of python code.
Direct democracy is not a panacea. In fact, it can be quite the opposite. Fair and effective governance is a very difficult thing to achieve, tending either to be subvertible, or totalitarian.
