Coal plants are closing down (and the planned ones are being canceled: https://twitter.com/DrSimEvans/status/1437704409048358919/ph...).

And any EV charged with non-coal electricity is far more climate friendly than ICE https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/jec/activities/wtw, and with improvements in battery production, EV design and more renewable energy on the grid everywhere, it just gets better year over year.

What's your point?
> some of the uses of the internet are actively trying to get you addicted

No offence intended, but I find this trope really exhausting. Web products - like any other product in the world - are designed to be enjoyable, and a side effect of that is that you will want to use them more. That's not what addiction is. I don't wake up in cold sweats needing to scroll through Instagram.

My tolerance doesn't increase, I don't experience withdrawal, I wouldn't suffer if you removed it from me. It's a horrendous mutilation of the meaning of the word, using it to mean 'an enjoyable habit'. I've been addicted to heroin, and I could talk at you for days about the difference.

This, along with other popular tropes like the 'corporations are responsible for 95% of carbon emissions' one, seem to be designed to excuse the individual from straightforward behavioural issues, like not being able to control their procrastination. I'm not complaining because I feel corporations are attacked, but because this isn't a healthy way to face (or rather not face) your problems.

I would be a lot more impressed with this browser engine if I could actually see it working.
We currently self host a version from ~2019, I haven't looked into upgrading the version but just the old version is working great.
Technically, color me impressed.

Business-wise, I'm skeptical:

- Alternative browser engines have always fallen behind, eventually.

- Open-source is a huge win for most embedded applications.

- Having a big company backing something is a huge win too, since something like Webkit ain't going away.

I think one possible outcome here might be an acquisition. Microsoft was forced to eat crow with Edge adopting Google's engine. This would be an opportunity for Apple, Microsoft, or Amazon to leapfrog Google. A GPU or multicore-accelerated browser could make the iPhone/Macbook/etc. much more responsive than Chrome.

Another might be some open-source strategy, but I don't quite know what it might be.
My take on your third question:

If you program a mind specifically to say "I'm concious.", it does not prove that it is.

However, if conciousness depends on something we cannot simulate and that conciousness is the causal reason we think (or say) we are concious, I would not expect that an exact simulation of a brain would be able to do the things we attribute to conciousness.

So if you emulate a mind to the best accuracy available, and it suddenly says "I'm concious.", it is at least a very strong indication that it really is, at least in the same sense that humans are.

Those sources appear to exclude Lilienfeld. He didn't create a good or tool. He didn't create a material. He didn't create a manufacturing process or a control procedure or a method of measurement.

Lilienfeld was a brilliant man but he didn't invent transistors any more than Albert Einstein invented gravitational wave detectors.
I am getting more and more disapointed by all these incentives to take public transportation that can only think about making them cheaper or try to make them faster to compete with cars.

It is time that we consider other ideas.

I would like to recommend one of the best Ted talks https://www.ted.com/talks/rory_sutherland_life_lessons_from_.... It is not specifically about public transportation, but about the larger question of what is value - and has a great example of how to apply it to public transportation.
Who defines "civilized" and why does that seem to particularly exclude specific categories of people?
From the perspective of that HR process, they generally care about the employee as much (or as little) as about that manager. A manager may start some process, but HR might as well consider that it's better (or easier?) for the organization to replace that manager instead of replacing that individual contributor.
The way I see it (using an analogy that necessarily oversimplifies things) is that if this existence were like a computer game, and we were the characters in it, then science attempts to understand the game, and religion (or perhaps more accurately theology) tries to understand the game developer.

I am happy it works for them. Otherwise, it is bragging and an elaborate way of "just don't procrastinate".

Planning to have one (or another) schedule is one thing, the easy one. Consistent execution is hard for some and impossible for others.

The difficulty comes from many reasons: health, the need of working with people from the different time zone, other less predictive commitments (e.g. parenting), neurodiversity (for many people with ADHD boosting dopamine is a necessity; no distraction does not equate to productivity; it equates no energy to do anything).
> yet another project pulling on open source resources

And? It's a product people find useful enough to pay for.

I actually think I would like a directory, because I fear the link-only propagation method would lead to echo chambers. But then how do you have a trustworthy directory, and how does it not also become an echo chamber. Reddit could almost be that, but clearly they don't have a handle on being not-an-echo-chamber yet.

I self-host Sentry, so it's feasible, but:

• It's huge. If I run `docker-compose ps`, it lists thirty entries, one of which seems to have failed and exited.

• With that hugeness comes CPU and RAM requirements. Sentry's installer complains if you give it anything under 8 GB of memory and 4 cores.

• The UI comes with an obnoxious amount of JavaScript, and is just generally slow and clunky. I see spinning wheels a lot.

Errorpush looks like a fantastic alternative for my needs, especially if I'm able to use the Rollbar Terraform provider to configure it, as well as if there are suitable integrations for all the programming languages my services are written in.

The UX/UI area is just as bad. It's nearly impossible to find authoritative discussions outside of conference slide decks, which aren't ideal for reading as standalone documents, as they only have bullet points.

However there is no shortage of useless "app redesign" case studies from complete amateurs. And it's always the same ones too: Starbucks, Netflix, Snapchat, Instagram and Spotify.

How about a public health website? Or a university application system? Or something "boring" that's much more realistic for a case study than a billion dollar corp's app?

This is a low quality article, making some facile analogies between gambling and starting businesses and pursuing a stand-up comedy career (huh?)

It would be better if they unpacked this sentence, but it stops there:

There’s a difference between gambling, trading and building your own business but there are also similarities.

I also recall Norm MacDonald saying that some regulation against online poker "saved him", because he was playing all night and couldn't sleep. So he was clearly a gambling addict, and it doesn't help to draw bad analogies. Comedy is risky, but it's also a constructive pursuit. RIP.
Haha! Yeah, I definitely don't mean to imply that the UX of these scripts couldn't be improved, just that these are some bits of functionality that I've found useful, and some very simple ways I've found to implement them that nevertheless worked pretty well. And, maybe as importantly, it may not be hard to have better UX than 25 lines of shell scripts, but it's even easier to have worse UX, so this is kind of the minimum bar for acceptability.

In principle your arguments are reasonable, but i don't think they are achievable.

Trust is cool, but it's a system designed for friends and family. Can you trust 300 million people with you internet banking password? It's statistically inevitable that some or them are dumb, evil, crazy, or all of the above.

"isn't really an argument for/against privacy... it's an argument for reform."

I don't think its possible to reduce laws to such an extent, lawyers can't know all the laws in the same way developers can't know all the code, and you can't fit all the code of a modern computer into something manageable. Every country I know of is in a similar situation.

Basically thats why we have warrants for search, right to silence and make dragnets illegal.

Also world without privacy is a world where anyone can impersonate you and commit fraud, and anyone can sue you, and even if they loose, financially ruin you.

> your audience still comments on social media and so your discussion remains there.

Discussion should remain on social media. This avoids the problems of moderation and spam that plagued blogs.

> it is far too simple to just use social media directly

Yes to succeed the blog platform should be super easy to setup and to link.

There are benefits that can then attract people:

- if you have several social accounts, on the same or different platforms, then having a centralized way of publishing on all of them is a nice perk

- social media platform impose a lot of rules, but on your blog, you can do whatever you want. So for problematic content, you can tease on social networks, and bring people on your blog for the real uncensored thing.

- the source of truth that the blog would be is a fine touch in this era of fake news

- you can add paid sections to the blog and make money directly with your biggest fans

Well, is that factoid wrong though? Sometimes personal responsibility is just a smokescreen pushed by bigger fish to guilt the smaller ones, red herrings. Same situation as the California water shortage where personal use is massively dwarfed by agricultural use of water.

It can be done, but it had weird moments of stuff breaking and being difficult to debug due to complexity, with only some dead forum threads as "help".
"Combustible" doesn't matter. Nor, really, does "impact" in the sense of one objectively solid body striking another objectively solid body. Think Chelyabinsk - the actual "thing hitting the ground" impact was a relative nothingburger, and all of the excitement happened at altitude.

Given that we don't totally understand reality, is it not a little premature to be taking the "magic" out of it? I mean, what if the base substrate of all that is (underlying subatomic particles, at the tiniest levels we don't have the technology yet to explore) is actually what we commonly consider to be "magic"? :-D

In my nearly 40 years of being alive, I've personally encountered 3 broad "categories" of people so far:

1. Religious types, who are super uncomfortable with the unknown and wave it away by pointing to "God".

2. Scientism adherents, who are also super uncomfortable with the unknown, and wave it away with, what looks to me like, a magical belief in science ("science can't explain this, but I totally trust that it eventually will"). They like to denigrate people in category (1) without realizing they're guilty of a similar kind of magical thinking.

3. Mystics. They appreciate science and its shortcomings and don't resort to magical thinking. They're capable of non-dualistic thinking. They don't resort to "God" or "science" to wave away the unknown. They're comfortable with being uncomfortable as just yet another part of the human experience. They accept their personal limitations and make no declarations about the existence or non-existence of things about which they could not possibly know.

Yep, position of power implies relationship structure that brings completely different social dynamics than the equals. That’s also the exact same dynamics that makes something abuse or not abuse. The recent “Me too” movement was essentially based on it. I’m sure there could be another kind of “Me too” movement that’s not sexual but business or career centric.

I was in my #AMERICAn frame of mind writing that comment. I was thinking along the lines of "Not produced by an adversarial country, slave labor, or a country with relaxed environment regulation."

It's the reason why so many products advertise 'sustainability' or 'fair trade'. It differentiates the product. I was trying to make the general point that how items are produced does actually matter to consumers, and a large population are willing to pay for moral manufacturing, myself included.

As mentioned by another comment, both host and guest submit their review before seeing the other's review. And they rarely interact again. Having looked at many property listings, and stayed at places with marginal reviews, I'm quite sure bad hosts get bad reviews. And I am pretty sure the same is true of guests.

Furthermore, guests and hosts submit a review a very high fraction of stays, and one cannot submit a review without actually hosting or actually spending substantial money as a guest, so AirBnN avoids most of the problems that Amazon reviews have.
Well? Do you have any links, or why even bring up a popular notion only to debunk it offhandedly?
This is insane. How do they even figure such things out? Is it by accident or careful research of schematics?
edonkey and napster required bootstrap nodes, I think? and sending your search terms out to other peers on the network could be considered less private, depending on your view.

You can search bittorrent via DHT in a similar manner (I'm unsure if the bootstrap nodes there are strictly required) or search an indexer website from one IP then use the magnet link to download from another IP.
Where this all falls down is in the assumption that human minds are consistent systems. I have to wonder if anyone who thinks such a thing has ever met any actual humans. Even a brief interrogation of a typical human as to their beliefs and assumptions about the world should rapidly disabuse us of the thought.

Humans are perfectly capable of assuming unproved axioms, changing their set of axioms, and accepting contradictory axioms. We do these things all the time, applying one axiom in one situation, and it's opposite in another. Just ask someone about their political beliefs for a while.

The fact is human intelligence is not an end in itself, it's a tool we use to achieve goals set by our evolutionary priorities, as encoded into our emotions and needs. These are the things that drive us, not logical axioms and proven truths. Even smart people have an emotional need to be correct, and many will resist having their beliefs challenged and changed tooth and nail. It takes constant effort and self discipline to maintain an open mind to new ideas and the rejection of existing assumptions, and certainly doesn't come naturally to us.

So this systematic theorising all seems somewhat beside the point. Don't get me wrong. It's interesting and useful philosophical work, no question, but it's not really applicable to actual human minds.
Ah yes, you're right: professionals simply ignore any data that contradicts them. Only the amateurs are doing any actual science in epidemiology these days.

Sweden was never at any point as tough as most other countries, and even if they had adopted e.g. UK style measures afterwards (which they didn't), it wouldn't matter: they should have still ended up worse than other countries due to their early stance.

What actually happened is that Sweden has significantly lower per-capita COVID mortality than the EU average.

Seeing how desperately people try to rationalize this is fundamentally very depressing. Lockdowns do not work. Masks do not work. They have never worked. Swedes are not biologically different to Brits or the French. You don't actually need Sweden to see this, there are many other examples from the USA, e.g. the differences between North and South Dakota (no outcome differences, very different policies). Or just look at graphs of case curves. You cannot figure out from looking at cases when policies were changed, even though being able to do so was the only goal of the changes. These policies directly failed on their own terms, and no studies or inter-country comparisons are even needed to prove that.
