What's intuitive about having to click one of the tiniest buttons in a corner of the screen to disconnect voice chat? I literally killed the process a couple times when I started using Discord because I couldn't find it. Why can I double-click to join a channel but not leave with any UI in the same area?

It also took me a while to figure out how to quit the damn thing. The only way seems to be right-clicking the tray icon. Which is nice as long as you have a tray in the first place. Having a "File > Quit" menu wouldn't have hurt. Or a button in the same menu that lets me log out and disable the account.

And judging by the fan noise in my laptop the Discord app seems to be a heavier burden than my Firefox session with over 1000 tabs. Now at least it's not particularly slow, but I don't understand why I should use Discord unless I have to.
I like this (very pro-EV) video which gets into this exact question

The most important point, IMO, is that localized emissions do the most harm. Even if the emissions were equal, keeping pollution out of the urban core will literally prevent (or defer) millions of cases of lung cancer etc. This paper quantifies the social cost of atmospheric release:

Yes, it is completely proper English and is the sort of thing that you would say but probably write in a slightly different way. If the author used punctuation properly then the sentence would be been something like this:

"“I think, universally, founders and early startup leaders underestimate how hard people-work is,” she says."

The person talking may have been using 'people-work' as a jargon term for team management, but otherwise there is nothing out of the ordinary about the statement.
> Much like GitHub and to a lesser extent teams, they seem to not get the idea that I have different personas related to different parts of my life that absolutely should not mix.

This. It's pretty much impossible to run several identities on Discord. If we ever move work to it i want it separate from my gaming discords.
I'm sure OF would be willing to pay for the right kind of coverage, but this sounds a bit nothingeverhappens. If something is interesting/amusing enough then it will get articles about it organically.

Do you mean on the web? You should use separate browser profiles for home and work.

(Speaking generally. I haven’t used Discord, but I don’t trust websites to keep multiple logins straight.)

Similarly for mobile, look into keeping apps separate at the OS level or carry two phones.
In a different system where limiting implantation of new companies would be a thing, I don’t see why you couldn’t place incentives to keep the job balance and avoid these consequence. It’s not that complicated in comparison.

But of course this « different system » is science fiction at this point, especially in the US.
> given that in most countries (at least mine) the electricity used to charge the car still mostly comes from fossil fuel.

The green revolution in personal transportation has two components: emissions-free electrical energy generation and the cars that use that energy. The fact that the former is lagging in many countries cannot be blamed on the latter.

> Why are we incentivising electric cars at purchase rather than incentivising the use of green energy to charge them?

Both need to be incentivised. The energy production will be in the form of disincentives to fossils fuel generation in the form of taxes and cap-and-trade.
And how do you make developing countries pay carbon/pollution tax? There is a stage in country's development where the country don't care about environment and prioritise on development. All of the developed countries went through that phase from 1700s-1900s. Either we need, say USA, to coercively make country create less pollution(which we know that it generally doesn't work) with military control, or developed countries need to pay developing countries fees for keeping the rivers and air clean. The second option sounds wrong but it is less wrong than alternatives.
The fact that they send a visual derivative of the image, such as a low-resolution version, makes the human review process tricky. Because there is, understandably, no actual CSAM image to compare the visual derivative with, images that look similar enough (contain nudity or a child in a swimsuit) may get past the human review process.
Agreed, those 2 are common concerns carbon removal needs to address better. Working in the industry there are other concerns that seem more pressing (i.e. can we even make it work? can we grow it 2x per year for the next decade needed?).

As Alan Kay says, the best way to predict the future is to invent it.

That's how I pronounce it in my head, too, but I still know what it means. All is well here.
Better to take the time off before you have to take the time off, which will almost certainly happen.

I burnt out at my last job in March of 2020, and that savings I was building up to hopefully one day retire is gone, and that's as a person with no true dependants, minimal bills, and a very frugal lifestyle. I haven't found work since. I took 1 step forward, and 1 step back. This was also true of the previous time I burnt out in 2016; I didn't end up finding work again before I lost my apartment and had to live out of my car for a long time.

Know the warning signs. Leave/change jobs before you destroy your career like I apparently have.
I was thinking the same. If you have wide rows in Postgres then read performance will drop quickly. Of course if you can keep it in cache then that is great but for a mixed workload you aren't likely to see a hot cache all the time

There used to be an extension for Firefox called "Open in reader mode" that adds an item to the context menu for links to... well, open them in reader mode. It's not quite what you want, but I found it to be very helpful.

>I could even see them announcing it at a launch. We should be concerned that the company has skipped its Black Mirror stage and jumped right into its Universal Paperclips endgame.

Got burn out too. I've incredible hard time to have my brain to function properly even after 1.5 years of no work. Non functioning brain means (at 45 years old):

- you understand new concepts (in my case maths) very slowly (that is about 10x times slower than before)

- you memorize very slowly (I can reliably compare myself to 22 years old students, I need about 5 times more time to memorize a course than them; and I was a very good student at their age).

- anything even remotely stressful is tough. Remotely stressful = plan something to do the week end; cook a new recipe (I'm a good cook and I used to love cooking); do paperwork; listen to the kids for more than 15 minutes;...

So burn out is (as said by many) a completely different thing than "exhausted". Burn out means : your brain is fucked up for a very long period of time.

The hardest part for me is to think about the future. I just can't. And that generates a lot of anxiety... And that adds to the very bad shape...
I never understood why we don’t create hydrogen plants and dump spare electrical generation into splitting water. It might be less efficient than other storage technologies but burning it will produce only water again. Just keep it away from dense population so if it blows it does not take out to much.
The car engine has to fit a weight and size limit that means most of the heat is wasted instead of harnessed.

Power plants can capture 60% of the heat energy. http://needtoknow.nas.edu/energy/energy-sources/fossil-fuels...

Conventional cars capture 12-30% of the energy in the fuel. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/evtech.shtml#:~:text=Energy%....

The difference is big enough that the analysis is easy.

I agree with all your points, but what's the reasonable alternative? There is a reason that apps have decided to go with SafetyNet as a requirement. It dramatically reduces abuse.

Right - but why would they assume I want to watch the "top" show? I've already paid for it and they benefit by having me browse and allowing myself to find that I like right? And what I like is not necessarily what they think others might me like - what one watches is highly variable (can change day to day, even time of the day) and influenced by so many factors that are personal.

At some point, I started making a similar thing for C++ (arewemodernyet). I didn't even include a provision for the case that features go away - I think I just stored for each compiler the minimum version a draft (Nxxxx) is implemented in. The thinking that "everything becomes green over time" is just so ingrained.
Plotly is a fantastic library if you want interactive graphs/visualizations. It has good documentation and support. It fits my definition of easy to do simple things and possible to do hard things. You can also easily move your graphs to front-end since Plotly Python is basically binding to plotly.js . The downside is exactly that - there is javascript underneath.

Seaborn is good if you want something pretty and static with matplotlib underneath but do not want to mess with defaults too much.
I actually liked it. The lectures are boring as all other subjects. I mostly enjoy reading all text books when I start a new semester, after I read everything, the subject becomes boring to me. The text taught about objective of life, the personal value and society actually made me wanting to go to university. There are so much interesting things in text book, but if a teacher is boring (as most of them), they will just read the text and ask you to recite it.
Not even that. Apple recieves a visual derivative of the image, such as a low-resolution version, for manual review.

The downside it that this makes the human review process tricky. Because there is, understandably, no actual CSAM image to compare the visual derivative with. Images that look similar enough (contain nudity or a child in a swimsuit) may get past the human review process.

Carbon removal is generally regarded as a scam, like 'clean coal,' something to distract people from actual carbon emission reductions. It would be great if it worked, but so far the only thing carbon capture technology has been successful at capturing is money.
Could burning biofuel to generate highly concentrated co2 cheapen the process? This way there would also always be energy available for the capturing process and the capturing plants would be mostly just plots of land with plants on them.
That's not entirely true. IIRC, climeworks have also partnered with companies who can use the CO2 directly (in carbonated drinks, or in actual greenhouses).

The majority of the CO2 in drinks will probably just end up the air again, unless some of it binds to calcium in the body or something?
I never understood the woodchips thing. Even the political green parties bought in to it; Nuclear, hell no! Burning woodchips, great idea!

How on earth can you ever sell burning wood as a environmental sensible thing to do? It's even dirtier then burning brown coal. It seems there is no limit to what people can justify with "spreadsheet-logic".

CO2 doesn't act like an insulator, nor does it trap heat per se. It absorbs infrared photons and re-emits in all directions simultaneously.
Quoting https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/05/sand-shortage-the-world-is-r... :

> The UN estimates that 4.1 billion tons of cement is produced every year, driven primarily by China

See also https://www.statista.com/statistics/267364/world-cement-prod... .

Concrete is about 2,000 kg/m³ - https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/concrete-properties-d_122...

704 years * 4.1 billion metric tons/year / (2,000 kg / m / m / m) / (510,064,472 km * km )
=> 2.83 mm

So, 704 years to cover the planet in 3mm of concrete.

The article says "In a single year, there is enough to patio over every hill, dale, nook and cranny in England".

I am not able to reproduce that. Using 130,279 km2 from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_England

(4.1 billion metric tons) / (2,000 kg / m / m / m) / (130,279 km * km)
=> 1.57 cm

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=concrete+patio+thickness&ia... suggests 4 inches is the minimum depth for a patio, or about 10 cm.

Which means it would take about 6 years to patio England.

FWIW,

4.1 billion metric tons/year * 10 seconds => 1.3 kilo tons
1.3 kilo tons / density of concrete => 650 kilo Liters
650 kL / 19,000 bathtubs => 32 liters per bathtub

I doubt UK bathtubs are 32 L.

I'm finding numbers like around 150-200 L for a bathtub - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=volume+of+a+bathtub+in+liters&t=ff... .
Ah, this old bogeyman.

The media drastically overreacted to that act, to the point where the Department of Home Affairs now has an entire page dedicated to addressing the false reporting [0].

The TL;DR is that the act doesn't allow the government to introduce mass surveillance. Section 317ZG [1] expressly forbids any law enforcement request from _having the effect_ of introducing any systemic vulnerability or weakness and _explicitly_ calls out new decryption capabilities as under that umbrella. Your claim that a company can't deny access to the ends of an e2e-encrypted pipe is false.

And yes, that new act exists. The government will be able to hack into your devices and take over your accounts _with a warrant_, just like they can break into your house or take money from your bank account _with a warrant_.

Green energy has already been incentivized over the last 25-30 years that has resulted in solar and wind already being cheaper than most other forms of electricity production. Now the problem is electricity storage and fossil fuel use incentivizing electric transport is the correct move as it will result in less fossil fuel use as well decrease the price for electricity storage as more investments are made in battery tech.
Btw 13000 miles is all it takes to make an electric car cleaner than a fossil fuel car when it come to carbon use

This facility will remove 4,000 tons of CO2 a year.

An average person produces 5 tons of CO2 a year. So it will be removing the CO2 produced by 800 people.

>Why do people accept being treated like children?

Because some cultures have a religious-inherited "sin-avoidance" problem, and e.g. try to ban alcohol, disney-fy public discussion, lose it if a tit is accidentally shown, and are "shocked" if somebody utters "fuck" in a late night show.

(It doesn't help that many of the "adult" population behave like children and throw a fit if their morality as to the above is "challenged").

Now, put these cultures, for historical reasons, in charge of technology platforms...

All of these, and more, turn into some state duty (in turn imposed on corporations) to handle moderation and control content in behalf of adult audiences (e.g FCC rules, Hayes code, Apple's ban of political, sex, etc apps, and so on).

This leads to the child-ification of the adult population, where the "adults" in charge know better and protect the masses.
