If you want to read a pretty good account of the atmosphere and attitude at the time, I highly recommend reading this book, if you can find a copy: http://talesofsfcacophony.com/

It goes into the origins of Burning Man, SantaCon, art cars – the whole deal. Burning Man in its current form started as “Zone Trip #4” or “A Bad Day in Black Rock”, organized by the Cacophony Society, after the burn at Baker beach was stopped by police.

If you want to read the original flyer for the event, the Internet Archive actually archived the whole of Rough Draft, which was the central organizing newsletter of the Cacophony Society. Here it is: https://archive.org/details/roughdraftoffici1171vari/page/n9...

I also got downvoted for stating that I feel I have enough HW and can live a few years off what is there. I guess people have been trained to get the newest thing every year, that it now hurts them bad to not be able to do so for a few months. And yes, I agree, this could be a wonderful time to actually strengthen our knowhow regarding keeping things alive, instead of just throwing them away. Sounds like a great chance for the climate change people. How is the market for used equipment doing btw?
From my perspective, "the same rules" would mean having the same legal/financial consequences for each gram of CO2 emitted.

In which case people who don't drive a car much wouldn't be punished as if they do, regardless of wealth or other factors.

It's like the classic question about which is heavier, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?

Is it impossible to agree that a kilo of CO2 is the same whether it's emitted by a Prius or an SUV or a Ferrari?

This is such a pain to track. I can't find a map of the path they took, just a vertical graph someone made out of telemetry data and a few diagrams of the path it's supposed to take that don't agree with each other. Going by most of these, they spent a lot of time between reentry and the glide barely moving, and if they started gliding earlier they could have gone many miles before reaching class A airspace. But maybe that's not true at all, I can't really tell.

The very small utils are actually perl scripts so there's a few dependencies it may pull in there (especially if there's no Perl in the container already, but this is for CentOS so people might be using different base containers.

But honestly, a package made that excludes the perl portions would be ideal for containers. From what I can tell, there's no other libraries used except glibc, and then you get most of those implemented in ~20k or less each.

$ rpm -ql moreutils | grep bin/ | xargs -n1 ldd | cut -d'(' -f1 | sort | uniq
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6
linux-vdso.so.1
not a dynamic executable

If the perl was split into separate packages (CentOS already ships moreutils and moreutils-parallel to split that out), that would be ideal for containers for the portions that are binaries, IMO.
>There are a number of people who are "originalists" on the court. People who believe that they have a special understanding of the founders. A belief that they, at a minimum, channel the ideals through some kind of unknowable means.

>How many people on the bench hold this set of religious beliefs?

This seems to be a very uncharitable take on what originalism means. You're basically saying the people believe in the paranormal and derive their rulings based on a séance. The first sentence on wikipedia provides a far less biased view.

>originalism is a concept regarding the interpretation of the Constitution that asserts that all statements in the constitution must be interpreted based on the original understanding "at the time it was adopted"

However, by that argument, we should just impose a high tax on all combustion engine cars, or perhaps simply introduce an appropriate carbon tax, instead of banning the combustion engine.

Some of the reasons we don't want to do that are:

1. A carbon tax is regressive and might result in the middle class still being just about able to afford cars, but the lower class completely unable to, which would be unfair.

2. By forcing the shift away from the combustion engine with a ban, rather than just nudging away from it with a tax, we're providing a stronger spur to innovation.

Both of these reasons apply to supercars to a large extent:

1. Elites being able to buy combustion engine (super)cars, while the rest of society cannot, would be unfair.

2. Forcing companies to innovate in the case of supercars, which provide a greater engineering challenge, increases the chance that the all the relevant engineering obstacles are solved for "normal" cars.

IMO the two end-points:

1. We just introduce a sufficiently high carbon tax, together with appropriate redistribution to make up for its regressiveness, and let the free market decide whether combustion engines are still affordable after internalising the externality.

2. We ban the combustion engine on the basis that we're all in this together and we want to make sure that the transition definitely does occur.

are defensible. The middle-ground where we tax supercars, but ban all other combustion engine cars is far less so.

I believe hypercars are typically much more limited in supply than even supercars. With respects to the timeline that they get developed in, the technology in them is so bonkers that it basically makes them modern marvels. I doubt there is anything stopping Tesla calling the Model S a hypercar, but I don't even know if they would want to be in that 'market'.
Well, apparently, otherwise they would not be doing it.

As someone new to Linux, I'm curious about this as well.

As a comparison, take Android. Thinking broadly about fragmentation, Android is fragmented because of so many different hardware vendors who use Android on their phones. They make hardware and have an incentive to customize Android to work on their phone because it's free and helps them sell phones. But the vendors don't try to call it anything but Android usually (not sure).

But this isn't the case for Linux. Basically zero vendors are Linux first, only a small number like System76 or Purism. So where's the incentive to create all these distros?

I can only conclude that the incentive to create more distros is created by builders. It's not companies (as in Android's case), and it's not users as users have better things to do. It's a bit odd to me.

PopOS by System76 perhaps is similar to Android then. System76 wants to differentiate. I have read their guide to how it's different than stock Ubuntu [1] But why not call it "Ubuntu - customized for System76" version or something. But look, I'm a huge fan of System76 so if they say it's needed, I trust them. And sure, the tweaks they've added seem fine (disk encryption on install, power profiler)...but making it distinct from Ubuntu to me is a negative. I trust Ubuntu, why sell me something else? I added mouse drivers and custom keyboard commands to PopOS - is it now iStingray OS?

Disclosure: I'm new to Linux, switched 2 weeks ago due to Apple's surveillance. Am on a System76 laptop running PopOS. I support System76 and donated to PopOS directly.

It wouldn’t be piracy if there was no copyright enforcement. What you are saying is that piracy is simply failing to innovate.
Good question. How about "unpaid labor"? Not as attention-grabbing as if you have "theft" in there, but it sure sounds more accurate than any other phrasing I can think of. Or maybe "wage fraud"?

Depends on your threat model, if indeed there is one. If all you want to do is appear in another country to access services you wouldn't have otherwise been able to, it's fine.
The difference is that the examples you give are intrinsic factors to physical advantages. STEM/academics/work/etc. are extrinsic. Short people are worse at basketball or hockey because their genetics inherently disadvantage them. Underrepresented racial minorities and women are _not_ worse at STEM/academics/work/etc. because their genetics inherently disadvantage them.

> The latest breakthroughs in solar efficiency are literally based on inspiration from biology:[1] "Although we can’t replicate the complexity of the protein scaffolds found in photosynthetic organisms, we were able to adapt the basic concept of a protective scaffold to stabilize our artificial light-harvesting antenna.”

Whether or not "the next generation" is "biologically inspired" (which doesn't mean using exactly the same mechanism), solar panels right now outperform plants on a pure energy production basis, and do this without any complex molecular or quantum machinery. This is because energy production is much easier than biomass production. That's my basic point, if you don't care about beating life on literally every axis (particularly energy efficiency, replication, and use of cheaply available materials) it's entirely conceivable you can do better. So if people want to build nanobots there's basically no chance they're going to beat life, but that's pretty different from AGI (even though it seems like the same people are invested in both for whatever reason).

>Website hosting service GoDaddy Inc. on Friday, meanwhile, shut down a Texas anti-abortion website that allowed people to report suspected abortions.

Assuming that it is legal to do what that website was doing, this is kind of becoming what people feared... tech companies deciding what laws are going to be upheld and what laws are not. Now you will have to align with the morality of the big corporations that dominate web hosting, even if what you're doing is 100% legal.

Just thinking, what happens if their morality starts to diverge from the mainstream (at the moment mainstream opinion on abortion is opposed to bans and in favor of various restrictions beyond the 22 week point of viability, seems to be against this law as it is essentially a ban).

You don't claw it back from your co-worker because money is fungible and just because they received money that could have paid you doesn't mean that's your money. That's money owed to them from your employer who also owes you money.

Honestly I ignored that initially in my response because I thought the example was a bit contrived and because of my above reasoning didn't really hold water.
From riding the train cross country a few times and researching, my understanding is that the big delays come about due to the train getting to be a little late, and then losing subsequent reservations down the line. One of the biggest delays I experienced was outside of ABQ, which I believe was because the train lost its timeslot and had to fit in between local commuter trains. Which indicates that freight trains do get rescheduled a bit, just not nearly enough.

I don't know if there is a straightforward solution, as it's death by a thousand cuts right now. The schedules need a little more slack, the fines for freight trains that don't yield need to have serious teeth (perhaps even reimbursing freight traffic that is subsequently delayed down the line), and areas under contention need more tracks.

Without a serious infrastructure buildout, the train is never going to be competitive with car speeds (we'd need to get rid of all level crossings, for starters). But it could at least be predicable.
Unless it points to a static local variable.
> By just ignorantly saying "there is no evidence" as meaning that it's been proven to be ineffective, you show how scientifically illiterate you are.

There is less than no evidence, and yet there are several studies already. It’s chloroquine all over again. The quacks are those who jump at any random drug, justifying the lack of evidence as a reason for their support, while decrying vaccines for a supposed lack of evidence.

A study being done is not a reason to support prescribing a drug.

Have them figure out the answer to that. If they don't consider it a serious threat to their business, then you shouldn't worry about "letting them down".

Preferably a direction that does not involve tying you down in a safe room somewhere.

All for pass or not pass.

Truth is, I'll bet you could drop the whole system and not see a change in air quality at this point. Super-dirty early cars get a bye (aircooled VW) and late model are rarely modified or worn out. If you feel the need to test, do a good job and then simply charge for the amount of emissions that come out.

I have the feeling that the emissions industry has metastasized into a political power. Not unlike car dealerships.

regarding Kei cars/trucks, my working theory is that most of the objections are safety related. Lots of DOT standards that the rest of the world ignores. Oddly, motorcycles are perfectly legal.

I don't think there is one quite so nefarious, the tale I usually hear is that Apple buys out the manufacturing capacity, say, on 8GB ram chips - and then its competitors can't find 8GB chips for their own phones, and have to offer a meager 6GB of RAM instead. (If you think about it, doubling your RAM just so manufacturers don't have the capacity to supply your competitors is pretty ruthless and genius)

Googling aroubd I see other stories of Apple buying all available capacity of 5nm manufacturing or glass or sapphire for smartwatch screens etc, here's one source for RAM tho (2009): https://appleinsider.com/articles/09/02/18/apple_buying_up_a...

> my example was to show that"both directions" are equally dumb and manipulative

In my view, most people probably wouldn't have an opinion on climate science absent external influence, since they don't encounter it in their day-to-day life. So, various groups vie for influence (academia, businesses, political parties, media outlets, etc) and that determines public opinion. But just because both sides try to influence the public, I wouldn't say they are the same - which side is closer to the facts seems like a separate issue than how public opinion works.

From your other comments:

> One very telling thing I always find extremely jarring and annoying is the term "climate change denier"

> which is to say that the "science is settled", againt acting as if it's an undeniable fact that their interpretation of the data and evidence is not questionable

> It's beyond idiotic imo to think that bending facts or coercing an agenda will get us any good

It sounds like you might be skeptical (although I'm not sure). I can only share some facts I have found convincing:

- 97-100% of climate scientists think global warming is real [1]

- The greenhouse effect of CO2 has been known for 100 years [2]

- Burning fossil fuels emits CO2, and we use a lot of fossil fuels

- We can measure historical CO2 by looking at air bubbles trapped in the ice in Antartica. It also correlates with estimated temperatures (by using isotopes like Deuterium). [3] [4]

- We already have ~25% higher CO2 concentrations than the entire ice core record going back 800,000 years. This increase happened in the last ~60 years. [5]
