Simple response to "I've got nothing to hide" is "alrighty, take off your clothes in front of everyone in this restaurant if you have nothing to hide."

It's worked a few times for me now (illustrating the point, not getting them naked).

Another one is "then why do you shut the curtains at night?" or "why do you lock your front door?" or "do you lock the bathroom door when you're at home with loved ones?"

But I feel those don't make as much of an impact and invite snarky responses more than the first one.
It is, for example in Switzerland, but it's a bad joke in many ways, the most important for me is:

If you have make a carbon emission high product, you rather change the production country (to a less controlled country, where you even can trow your waste water into a river) then to research the next 20 years on new technology.

And the income from the tax goes to insurance company's and Rent rather then to green projects..it's just another tax without any meaning:

Yep.

There is plenty of room for environmentalism on the conservative side (I am a conservative):

- self sufficiency / independence both at the individual level and as nations

- economically smart

- less wasteful with resources, better for the economy

Certain people - especially on my side - making this a partisan issue is something I should really want to stop.
I've worked with several kinds of public blocking lists and one thing I learned is that they are all full of false positives. For whatever reason, I would not be surprised if just nobody ever noticed the mistake.
I agree with all of your points and still believe that rent seeking is the root cause to be addressed, not wealth in and of itself. Wealth is just stored labor. It is value neutral, and everyone has the right to the fruits of their own labor. It is only rent, unjustly collected from others' labor via force or monopoly that is illegitimate.

Talking about the news from last February? Because the government determined they were spies.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/05/uk-quietly-exp...

In Hong Kong the government tells everyone what they can and can't write, which is different.
I don't think the UK government cares what China journalists in the UK write for their captive populace (here I assume no one but part of local population consumes Chinese state-owned media).

Further inland, recently there have been instances of foreign journalists (DW) physically confronted by CCP-controlled mobs. And restrictions on what can be reported and where foreign journalists can go have always been commie-style.

> Good for the anti-globalism.

At least some good news for the ordinary man.
> there is a difference between an equity valued at X and cash of X value.

Indeed, based on my readings and thought exercises this is absolutely correct.

In case of equity it is the market i.e., the collective belief of participants in the market is what is backing the value. As we see once in a while market for specific stocks could vanish leaving nothing backing that value. Where as in case of cash it is backed by the US government. That is a big difference.

For a day-to-day retail equity trader you could assume there is close to 1-1 correspondence between equity and cash. But at scale that 1-1 mapping breaks down.
The main difference is in how basic the language concepts are that the interpreter uses. Pattern matching a list is quite a lot more basic than an 'eval' function that supports executing an arbitrary statement.

Growing Object-Oriented Software vs. what I would do
At this point I think there must be a propaganda campaign to convince people down this line of thinking. Bezos could realistically liquidate the majority of his wealth, though obviously not all at once. Look at how much Gates has liquidated.
No need to change anything. It's supported by design.
Maybe those original Home Sapiens migrants just went to Neanderthal territory, maybe established "homo sapiens republics" (different culture, technological practices), and eventually got absorbed into the lasting main Neanderthal culture.

Just like it happens to migrants in our time, in just a few years, not thousands.

It could be that after 600.000 years, Neanderthals got somehow behind minimal species fitness required to endure lasting species survival, and they were - this time - absorbed by the Homo Sapiens.

Cows and concrete don't involve burning things, but they do produce a large percentage of total CO2 emissions.
So I was ignorant on the issue and completely against the approach of Apple.

Then HN taught me that any company storing images on their infrastructure in the US must report pedophilic images to the US government.

At this point, the approach taken by Apple seems like the best one to me, if you don't want to store pictures in clear on your servers.

What other technical approach are people advocating for?

Another point it is to try to change the law, but this is beyond the scope of the conversation.
The attempt to force people into limiting their lives for CO2 concerns falls into environmental authoritarianism. That’s why. Lots of people see it that way and when you mix hyperbolic environmentalist doomsday predictions that never actually happen people stop taking this seriously.

Additionally, the US is built on the foundation of personal freedom and autonomy. We would be the last country where people would willingly restructure and restrict their lives for someone’s agenda.
Thing we need? Let's list them and figure out solutions

Things we like? Sorry? I like living. I like this planet. Things we like very seriously need to take a back seat to needs right now.

I've heard the same thing from a family member when I ask why they eat certain items while they are morbidly obese. Because they like them. Come on now, we're literally killing the planet with likes.
The emphasis many countries take is to focus on car owners and drivers by taxing private commuters to death, with dubious environmental gains outside of increasing state income. Meanwhile one cargo ship or cruise liner arguably pollutes way more than millions(!) of cars. I'm not sure that's a great route to take politically, no pun intended. They seem to go for the lowest hanging cash grab before going after those where it's actually the easiest to get the biggest gains in terms of environment and actually lowering of negative emissions.
Mass production and deployment of clean technology is the only realistic way to get out if this.

It's not like there are not options available, many states are not exactly poor and past experience has shown we can scale production insanely fast if there is an important reason for it.

> (which is, if I understand correctly, how other cloud providers do this scanning, which they are required to do by law?)

I don't think that is required by law - at least not in EU or US.

There was already a lot of online outrage in July when EU passed regulation that allowed such scanning for the next 3 years - I imagine requiring it would be much worse.
> switch everyone to a purely plant-based diet.

In itself that's a sign that we live in a world where our consumption of resources has to be restricted. This is a lowering of quality of life.

Of course food is only one type of resources. We consume many more and if we need to have such restrictions on everything then we only survive at the expense of our quality of live.

So, we can only eat plant-based food. We cannot travel. We need to live in small flats in megacities. We can only use mass transit, etc. This ends up being 1984 meets The Matrix as I commented somewhere else.

Shouldn't the objective be that every human enjoy life while preserving the environment? Have a large garden, have pets (someone commented that they should be banned), travel to see the world? I think it's better to have fewer of us with better quality of life and able to enjoy a thriving environment.
Funny that the site makes me agree to all the trackers before I can read the surveillance-critical comic strip :D
Here's the gist of a post I made a couple of days ago (I removed one sentence that someone considered inflammatory):

Having known many victims of sexual violence and trafficking (Seriously. I deal with them, several times a week, and have, for decades), I feel for the folks that honestly want that particular kind of crime to stop. Humans can be complete scum. Most folks in this community may think they know how low we can go, but you are likely being optimistic.

That said, law enforcement has a nasty habit of having a rather "binary" worldview. People are either cops, or uncaught criminals.

With that worldview, it can be quite easy to "blur the line" between child sex traffickers, and traffic ticket violators. I remember reading a The Register article, about how anti-terrorism tools were being abused by local town councils to do things like find zoning violations (for example, pools with no CO).

Misapplied laws can be much worse than letting some criminals go. This could easily become a nightmare, if we cede too much to AI.

And that isn't even talking about totalitarian regimes, run by people of the same ilk as child sex traffickers (only wearing Gucci, and living in palaces).

”Any proposal must be viewed as follows. Do not pay overly much attention to the benefits that might be delivered were the law in question to be properly enforced, rather one needs to consider the harm done by the improper enforcement of this particular piece of legislation, whatever it might be.”
-Lyndon B. Johnson

[EDITED TO ADD]: And I 100% agree that, if we really want to help children, and victims of other crimes, then we need to start working on the root causes of the issues.

Poverty is, arguably, the #1 human problem on Earth, today. It causes levels of desperation that ignore things like climate change, resource shortages, and pollution. People are so desperate to get out of the living hell that 90% of the world experiences, daily, that they will do anything (like sell children for sex), or are angry enough to cause great harm.

If we really want to solve a significant number of world problems, we need to deal with poverty; and that is not simple at all. I have members of my family that have been working on that, for decades. I have heard all the "yeah...but" arguments that expose supposedly simple solutions as...not simple.

Of course, the biggest issue, is that the folks in the 0.0001% need to loosen their hands on their stashes, and that ain't happening, anytime soon. I don't know if the demographic represented by the Tech scene is up for that, since the 0.0001% are our heroes.
> It’s just so hard to know what actions have what impact on CO2 production

I felt exactly the same a couple of months ago... I spent hours researching what actions could we individually do and what was its impact. Then I created an app that compiles all this information. You can check it out here https://changeit.app
Hope it helps :D
When my deployments are incremental I barely care about startup time. Even if a service takes ten seconds to come up healthy (which is mostly pubsub and polling backends, not classloading) we can upgrade the entire production tier 1% at a time in under twenty minutes, which is about as fast as I’d be comfortable going with automatic plus manual monitoring. And I don’t really expect sub-second response times and image load times from cluster schedulers like YARN or Apache Mesos or EC2.

I admit that Java is doing a lot of redundant bytecode verification and typechecking work at classload time, but nothing would really change if it were free. I certainly don’t want to give up plugins and AspectJ the way Go does.
I wasn't aware of Secrets. I will certainly look into it.

Speak for yourself and your country.

I live in the countryside in Norway - a famously long and sparsely populated country - and I either work close enough to home to go by bike or I work far enough away that I can manage to pick up my laptop and get some work done while in public transit. And yes: I get to the train station by bike, bus or by feet, if necessary it is just 30 minutes brisk walk.

Edit: not every Norwegian can do this, but far more than today. I guess this is true for a number of other countries as well.
Cargo ships "pollute" as much as millions of cars, but that pollution is sulphur, not carbon.

We have more than enough oil in storage now to fuel diesel generators alone for a long time.

Emergency generators is not where the demand comes from.

The medicine is still likely better than the disease, but it really entirely depends on how much you choose to downweight the worth of the lives of future generations.

But yes, it is very likely that a solution will have to render formerly inhabited, far-flung areas as uninhabitable or at least much more expensive.

What my SO says that he's just the manager of sales interested in selling their products and nothing else; the "else" is done by others - with marketing and pr and actual work.
There's a different way to get to this, without using calculus.

If we call x = sqrt(67), then the first approximation is n = sqrt(64) = 8. We then use the formula for the difference of squares x^2 - n^2 = (x-n)(x+n) to get x-n = (x^2-n^2)/(x+n), or x = n + (x^2-n^2)/(n+x). In our case x = 8 + 3/(8+x). This is circular, but we can just plug in the right hand side the first approximation for x, which is 8, and we end up with 8 + 3/16.

The beauty of this formula is that you can continue to iterate. Once you have x ~ 8.1875, you can plug again in the right hand side and get x ~ 8 + 3/16.1875, which is exact to the first 4 decimals.

Of course, you can continue, and you end up with the (aptly named) continued fraction method for the square root [1].

I used to believe it as well, but I think more often than not it is only a vertical terseness. If you count the number of words, it will be roughly in the same ballpark.
With the noble excuse of "protecting the children" they are just opening the vector that will allow them to go for other stuff in the future. I think this is just the first step and the intention is to make it "cognitively acceptable" for the majority of us later on.

At this point, I have no doubt that in the future, a more ambiguous excuse such as "hate speech" will be used and under that umbrella, the elites will have a huge margin for pursuing any kind of "dissidence".
I'm definitely correct. The client I'm referring to is the PG client, not the browser. The browser connects to some HTTP server which is a client of the PG database.

Assuming you send the time in epoch time format, you would use:

select to_timestamp(1628506048);

to convert to a `timestamp with time zone` (yes that is correct). If you insert this value into a database using `timestamp without time zone` then the database forgets that the time is UTC and will use whatever TZ is set on the client that happens to run the query.

If you can 100% guarantee that all your devices - developer machines, test machines, VMs, production, the whole works, if you can absolutely 100% guarantee that they are all set to UTC then timestamp and timestamptz are largely the same.

But why take the risk? I can tell you from experience that learning this the hard way is really hard.
Everyone has said everything wrong about it already. Nevertheless, Apple can sugarcoat it as much as they like. There’s no technical control (no actual nor possible one) making this exclusively about targeting CSAM.

Gold as an Inflation Hedge: What the Past 50 Years Teaches Us
I have done all these things myself, and I still see the seller accounts live, or name changed.

Around 10% of items I’ve ordered have been either fakes of name brands, didn’t match the photos, or had a seller review scam thing going. It’s not an outlier, it’s standard.
I can’t speak to your voice experience however I used to regularly end up 20-90 pages deep on google searches ensuring I collected all the information I need.

In the last year or so I have not progressed past page 3 without being presented with mostly fake results. This even happens when I use specific terms which I know used to return perfect results and when I know the content exists.

For example the other day I wanted to find a presentation made at FOSDEM so I searched for the FOSDEM keyword with filetype: pdf. I saw a handful of genuine results despite knowing there are hundreds of matching documents.
Sure, it's unhelpful if you're trying to build a model or understand the science, but 90% of people aren't; and it's accurate –if unhelpful– analogies like this that get those people onboard.
>What other technical approach are people advocating for?

Reduce user data stored in cloud data centres as much as possible. This is the approach taken by Whatsapp, so not surprised they are the ones most vocal against it.

And at the risk of appearing to be supportive of a Facebook product, I think this is the right way to take computing. We don't need a central place to put stuff or to do compute when we can do it on our own devices. We just need orchestration.

Ask HN: Is “Hacker News” becoming “News”?
I value hacker news for the diverse range of articles that are posted every day. However, recently it feels like a lot of submissions go to the websites of major news outlets.

Is this really a representation what authentic users of some kind of hacker culture find interesting? Or is it that major news outlets have identified hacker news as a great place for targeted advertising of their articles?

I noticed because I recently encountered paywalled content; and more and more stuff is interesting, yet only peripherally related to technology and information.

How do you feel about this? Am I imagining things?

Oh ok yep sure, you're right. If you want to keep the timestamp then you need to keep it in both cases.

But with timestamptz you don't need to use the timezone in most calculations while with timestamp you do need to use the timezone otherwise unexpected behaviour can creep in.

But yes I do agree that you're technically correct, and that's the best kind of correct after all :)
They subsidize R&D because there's a public benefit to things like pure math that's difficult to internalize which leads to under supply from the market.

They subsidize agriculture because of lobbying and self-defense considerations.

In both cases, the government identified an under supply due to a market failure, and they judged that the externalized benefit was sufficiently large and so they stepped in to fix it.

In the case of crypto, the market failure is simply that carbon is too cheap. So why not address the actual market failure with a tax. If crypto miners want to keep mining after compensating society for their pollution, more power to them. It's hubris and risky to outright ban something because you just know there's no value there and all the people who ascribe value are wrong. Doing that isn't even analogous to government actions in the two examples you raised. A carbon tax is more analogous (it's sort of like an inverse-subsidiy as per your Ag example).

I like the carbon tax avenue for other reasons too. It's a broad, one shot thing that will roughly aligns incentives across all industries at once. Not perfect but a very good correction that broadly applies.

"by all accounts, it slightly increases employment"

Not by all accounts. The literature is not straight forward in this way. If it is a null effect, I don't see that as an invalidation of econ 101, either. It could just be very inelastic for small changes in the minimum wage with elasticity picking up for larger changes (which nobody doubts would happen).
The internet causes around 5% of global carbon emmissions.

It's invisible, and difficult to measure, so little gets done about it. But if you're a developer who wants to help. Check out:

Pretty much all the solutions to making a greener web would make the web better in general.

- Send less data (efficient video, images, fonts, etc)
- Make fewer requests
- Use a CDN (the greenest one you can)
- Stop collecting vast amounts of personal data
- Better bot blocking
- Use PWAs when appropriate

- Change the culture, foster competition for doing the above.

I'm sure there's a thousand more items you could add to the list.
