> So we should focus on long-term sustainable farming.

You cannot farm soil for longer than 8-10 years without major nitrogen, and phosphorus replenishment. Actually lived in the sticks, and did farm labour in my childhood.

Controllable soils which are good at intaking, and retaining fertilizers are sustainable.

Bad soils with unusual soil chemistries can get depleted no matter how much fertiliser is dumped. That's true.
> Why do you need to pay someone to give you lists of books to read, rather than just buying and reading them yourself?

You don't. However, college isn't just a list of books to read, it also includes practical exercises and, most importantly, accountability mechanisms, and there is plenty of evidence that accountability mechanisms tend to improve performance.
Equity is what Climate means. It's people being harmed.

I have had both the short right shift and the half-height arrow keys on different laptops, and the half-height arrow keys are by FAR preferable for me. Much less mistyping that way. Granted, I don't do much gaming on a laptop (although I doubt I'd use the arrow keys that much for that anyways, probably ASDW).

But I totally agree that the people putting keyboards together don't seem to actually spend much thought and definitely don't user test it with representative users, including keyboard-centric users like coders.

The linked page includes leaked sentences from the report, including:

> Transition pathways entail distributional consequences such as changes in employment and economic structure

> Equity and justice are important enabling conditions for effective climate mitigation. Institutions and governance that address equity and supporting narratives that promote just transitions can build broader support for climate policymaking

> Collective action through formal social movements and informal lifestyle movements expands the potential for climate policy and supports system change
I 100% believe in climate change. Seems like these guys really want a strong central government that what to influence everything from my diet to combat climate change. <sarcasm> It sounds like they will do in a fair and equitable manner, so that doesn't sound so bad </sarcasm>. I think the solution is more simple and relies on the free market. Just tax carbon appropriately.

Curtis Yarvin makes an argument very similar to that. I can't find where I read it though.
It's very far-left and unpopular, and I think their positions can easily be dismissed on HN as ludicrous if not dangerous. It's always good to have discussions on climate change and learn more about the current state of it, and I think the IPCC report accomplishes that, but this website itself is awful.

Their website provides "action guides" [1] on how to smash windows or throw paint, as if that's going to help the environment or rally people to their cause. It's basically a younger, communist, and even more ineffective Greenpeace.

I think you are (possibly deliberately) forgetting that there are pesticides which are allowed in organic farming, they are just not as effective as more modern alternatives and they end up polluting the water table in a very significant way.
I first thought that you meant the report itself, which I don't think is the case.

But after reading you comment again, I think you mean the site itself and I would agree.

Good thing, that the report itself is the main publication and will be processed by the various media outlets around the world, who will find a more suitable communcation style.

i.e. this interview in the German media: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesellschaft/scientist-rebe...
Yeah, I have seen this about Eastern Europe (Russia) and all it convinced me about what that the author dont understand neither Eastern Europe nor sexism. It counted fiends considered non-technical in Eastern Europe as technical. It counted school of basic administration as technical economy too.

It also assumed that sexism is straight line. In fact, while easter europe is overall more sexist, there are many aspects in which it is less sexist. Some aspects of American sexism are present much less.

The confusion is effectively from American assuming that every single aspect of their country must be superior.
It’s a very interesting approach but makes some sense. When it comes to failures the two big cohorts are “crib deaths” and “old age”. By picking something that flew twice they are able to pick a machine still early in its life cycle but survived adolescence.

People are hired in the west at a higher rate of pay to influence and promote political and other points of view under the guise of corporate social media managers.

I think it is past due time for legislation preventing all public money from being used for social media, including tax exempt NGOs and government intern salaries that hire social media managers.
Do you believe everyone can learn algebra? What evidence do you have for this belief? Have you taught in the classroom much to students with a wide range of educational backgrounds?

I don’t believe everyone has equal intellectual talent in all areas. My talent for math far exceeds my talent for physics. I’ve tried to learn physics but I just can’t. I have no intuition for it. There is variation amongst our brains and how the connections in our brains formed in childhood. In some people the wiring is such that learning a given topic is not feasible. Such is my belief.

Not the op, but I use both. Firefox focus as default (any link from a random app open on a short lived session, it just feels right), for regular browsing Firefox mobile (and yes, if I'm there and I choose to open a temporary tab, I use the normal incognito tab, with ublock origin)

An interesting concept. Are there limits to just creating a new account when the 100 posts are used?

It could be interesting to have an account with a maximum number of posts, use the last post to announce your next account and thus periodically it forces each of your followers to make a conscious decision on whether or not to remain following you.
And full FIDO2 token (e.g. yubikey) support for passwordless (CTAP, also part of webauthn) would also be amazing.

ProtonMail is my main e-mail, so I am positively biased in their favor.

I think their advertising copy about not logging IP addresses was poorly done, but their service is private enough for me. It probably doesn’t much matter or make much difference, but I feel OK with using their service, and tweaking my account settings for Google and Apple to the minimum amount of data retention.

I feel that people who let corporations easily have all of their data put themselves at a disadvantage when it comes to any interaction between yourself and any large company (insurance, retail, etc.). Governments will always have our private information so the real purpose of privacy is economic value.

Imagine playing poker with your friends and you had to have your cards face up on the table and they could keep their cards hidden from you. In this example, your friends are corporations.

EDIT: Carissa Véliz, author of Privacy is Power, was interviewed recently on the ProtonMail blog, and I think the interview does a good job of summarizing her excellent book: https://protonmail.com/blog/carissa-veliz-data-privacy/
If you can't re-link with the new library, it's no longer ABI compatible and thus it's a major version change.

If you can re-link with the new library but something no longer works, you need to emit lots of very loud warnings when code calls that function.
That's basically saying "we shouldn't push society to change or improve because change means people are excluded." Which is a dead end approach to society. Culture and society shifts with time and it has since long before humans evolved. Change is messy but the alternative is perpetual status quo. Some people get excluded but right now people are excluded as well.

>You like Shakespeare, a known anti-semite?

You are now applying this retroactively which is not the discussion at hand. Please don't put together straw man arguments.

edit: You're arguing absolutes when change is a gradual imperfect uneven messy process. It has always been and will always be. There are no absolutes because humanity is not a hive mind.
> after 2030

Why is it always in the future? We have ALREADY, REPEATEDLY, delayed action and we are CURRENTLY experiencing challenges in both economic and societal feasibility.

Just look at the previous commitments and how far off we are. For example https://unfccc.int/news/climate-commitments-not-on-track-to-...

We've heard previously that we would have to make changes by 2010 to have a decent chance, and before that it was by 2000, and before that it was by 1980. No matter how many red line dates we pass, there's always another created. I suppose there's always a worse situation that we'll be in by some future date while we continue to do nothing, but in that case choosing a date is completely arbitrary as every second that passes is worse than the previous.
I have been wanting to put together a C64 rig for a long time. It was the computer I cut my teeth on when I was growing up. If it wasn't for that machine, I would have never ended up being a developer. These ads bring back so many memories of coding BASIC on our giant television in the family room.
How do the organic farms in your argument function without modern technology and machinery like tractors or transportation?

I think you would be hard pressed to feed a nation with organic farms without oil refineries right now.
I think this is why they specifically call out ABI changes. A major release is one that changes the ABI/API - i.e. the C function definitions have changed and you are forced to recompile. A bugfix that breaks someone's workflow but does not change the ABI is not a major release.
If outcomes between groups are different, investigation into underlying causes of differences in group outcomes is often useful- bigotry need not be a motivation.

Can you provide the legislative history that supports this? According to wikipedia airlines, cell phone companies, cruise ships, and shipping companies operate as common carriers, even though none of them are controlled by monopolies.

I'm not a libertarian, but I can still see the difference between "it would be really expensive to lay another set of phone lines" and "the state forbids you from laying another set of phone lines".

I mean, it's quite likely the ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine has some effect against the virus in the early stages of infection, but their use needs to be balanced against their side effects, of which there are many.

What farmers did when I was growing up was they divide their lot into 4. Farm on three - put compost on other and rotate yearly.
"Organic farming is less efficient for unit of food produced."

Do you have data on that?
True, but presumably there exist (possibly not-yet-invented) high-yield farming practices which fix atmospheric nitrogen without the need for fertilizer. There’s just not been any economic pressure to use or invent such a practice, since presumably it would be less efficient than using fertilizer. Phosphorous you can’t get out of the atmosphere so we might not have an easy out there.
But if that is all we can realistically expect, there are objectively better providers.

That's ultimately why I cancelled my PM subscription and went elsewhere.
i no longer use it but Perl was always the better solution when one thought AWK was the answer.

Perl will do those things where AWK really shines and if the problem got bigger, Perl was easier to deal with.
As someone who was an adult when the Commodore came out (it was the first computer I bought), I can say firsthand there were several reasons it was successful: it was extremely cheap, there was a lot of software available, and there were few alternatives that you could just plug and play.
Back then nobody talked about ‘8-bit’ they way they do today—it was just a computer, and you could even buy one at Toys r Us. I think I paid $399 for mine, an unheard of cheap price back then, even cheaper than Radio Shack’s Trash 80s.
It would've been much better served for OP to link to the actual IPCC report, so we could have a substantive conversation about climate, rather than everyone (understandably) being taken aback by the extremist and communist arc of the current link.

(I've been reading the report, and it's definitely worth seeing even if you despise this "Science Rebellion" website).
My experience is also the opposite fwiw. To be fair, I don't think I know any democrats who actually like the party. They're more "not republican" than democrat. Maybe the democrats you've talked to are the true believers. The only example I can come up with that matches your experience is my dad, so maybe it's generational?
Yes that's what runs behind my.zerotier.com, which is a SaaS that hosts a bunch of those in a HA Kubernetes cluster with a nice UI and some SaaS value added features (with more of these coming soon).

Given any scenario for this type of environmental discussion, someone will find a problem with it.

How far was the manure transported? How much CO2 did the cow burp? How much corn was trucked in to feed the cow?

There’s also the matter of organic fertilizers working differently in some scenarios. Blood meal releases nitrogen more slowly than ammonium nitrate, for example.

When you cross pseudo-religious beliefs you get in trouble as well — many of the organic fertilizers are animal byproducts (blood, feathers, eggshells, urine). So what wins for a vegan? Vegetables made with chemical fertilizers, or vegetables made with burnt eggshells and feathers?
That's not some objective fact. Furthermore you realise that Hayek himself wasn't a democrat?
You do know that anarchist ideology is literally defined by the opposition to states and state-lile structures, right?

It seems odd to tar specifically anti-statists with wanting to create a state. Anarchy being literally the antonym of hierarchy, statism is the complete antithesis of anti-authoritarian left-wing politics.
> The US goes into 'debt', to pay for something.

The US doesn't go into debt to pay for things, it goes into debt voluntarily to play-act that it is using a commodity rather than fiat currency. Or perhaps out of political inertia since it once did use such a currency.

Pointing this simple fact out (hello, Modern Monetary Theory) gets very serious people very mad, though.

Drugs used to have institutional usage. They used to be distributed by armies, take part on religious practices, have explicitly regulated import quotas to keep the population "calm".

Based on a shallow scan of Signal protocol’s Wikipedia page, I can’t see any notable changes after 2016, which is when WhatsApp had it integrated. Perhaps the measures you mentioned exist in Signal the client, as opposed to Signal the protocol?

But yes, if using WhatsApp one must keep in mind that FB and third parties know (and probably data-mine) whom (also when, etc.) one’s talking to; this is most likely less of a concern with Signal client.

I have a lot of respect for Signal Foundation, although I question their recent idea of integrating cryptocurrency support into a messaging app.
A small and geographically distributed nuclear arsenal would also be a good starting point if you wanted to avoid having the large standing army needed for conventional deterrence.

Recent polls suggest majority support for tax-based measures addressing wealth inequality. E.g. this one from March:

https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/542914-pol...

"Fifty-six percent of registered voters in the March 5-8 survey said wealth inequality is a significant problem facing the country and billionaires paying a wealth tax is a part of the solution."

I don't have historical poll data at hand, so I don't know how this has changed over time. My impression that it's become a more popular proposition recently (since the start of the pandemic) might be wrong.
I don’t agree with the Big O notation question as useless to know. I once had a programmer that had come from marketing background who taught himself to code. Could get things started but when he had to do a data processing job he used jq in bash because “nothing is faster than bash” then wrote his code in On^n which took days to run. When I tried to explain that it was inefficient the way he was doing it because it had to iterate over and over for each entry and explained algorithmic complexity and how to do it faster and wrote up some quick code in python he got in a huff and tried to proclaim “nothing is faster than bash”.

For those who may assume the system was memory/storage limited and that’s why it was written that way, no we had enough memory and storage.
What makes you think there is a connection between Firefox market share and the decisions happening at Mozilla?

This is not 2005. No matter how good Firefox is—I'd argue it's still the best browser out there—Chrome, Edge, and Safari are backed by the biggest corporations in the history of the world behind them. It's not a meritocracy. The decline could be inevitable.

By analogy, we could look at the decline of film studios. The quality of major studio films has declined with the popularity of Marvel films. From the perspective of people that care about the industry from a critical perspective, it's a disaster. From the perspective of Disney, they are merely leveraging their advantages in existing market share, brand awareness, and advertising to beat everyone else.
Even though I do think disinformation is a real problem in the world, I think you need to take disinformation research with a grain of salt because my impression is that disinformation specialists regularly employ disinformation to inflate their own importance
