This crisis is about natural gas, not oil, as described in the article.

The USA imports ~0% of its natural gas from Russia, >98% from Canada, all dwarfed by its exports though making it one of the LNG sellers Asia and Europe are turning to, as described in the article.

That’s assuming the DoE doesn’t at some point need to prioritize domestic needs over exports like Russia did however, as described in the article.

My comment was also about North America, which includes Mexico and critically Canada. But if you’d like more about the US, here’s a nice recent overview of its natural gas trade: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=49156

If there is no congestion, there is no railway connection, because the number of commuters is too low to support one.

A 10 km commute by train typically takes 30-40 minutes door-to-door. For driving, the normal time might be 20-30 minutes, but the variance is often much higher than by train. If driving is consistently faster or slower than that, people tend to switch between train and car or otherwise change their commuting habits until congestion is back to "normal".

No discussion about this? Was hoping for someone to try debunk this, at least.

It's too hard getting sound opinions. Most of the internet is a shit show. Hacker News usually comes through. Covid topics are the hardest to find proper discussion on. There's not even a good tl;dr. Officially published stuff directed at the general population is too brief. These sources don't educate, they only try to build trust. With covid being a risky topic, I understand why these sources are extremely focused on "safe" facts, while topics that could be taken wrongly are omitted. I think I'm ready to read about these topics, but accredited sources only leave you with thousands of papers as the only alternative to the general population stuff. I don't have a relevant background and therefore lack the necessary skills to understand these papers. This only leaves me with unaccredited sources like the letter posted here. Health's the most important thing one has, and I want to protect it as best as I can. I think there's no proper discussion regarding covid and vaccines anywhere on the internet. I would like to be proven wrong though.

This is extremely important, and something I think many people don't realize. Charging a fee might make it possible for a company to be profitable without needing ad revenue, but it likely won't change the underlying economics such that also showing ads won't be even more profitable. The only ways around this that I can see are 1) a company steadfastly choosing to forgo the ad revenue, 2) a company maintaining a customer base that is willing to pay the subscription fee and has a principled opposition to ads such that introducing ads wouldn't be viable, or 3) somehow reorganizing the economy such that the negative externalities of advertising are greatly reduced.
This attitude willfully ignores real-world constraints. There are plenty of "shoulds", but at the end of the day, changing behavior is changing behavior. Maybe it's worth it, maybe it isn't. But it's never free.

Just an observation - many people on HN work in the tech or similar industries which can be performed by working from home. They have a hard time relating to others who don’t have the same luxury.
Agreed. It is totally messed up when it is just easier to cancel the credit card the charge goes to instead of the actual charge.
But nobody can quantify the cost of those externalities
Someone who works as a delivery guy needs to drive a car a lot, such person would have to pay big climate dividend. Is that ok? Probably not.

Taxation is a road to nowhere as rich people will always either find the way to avoid taxes or find the way to throw the costs of those taxes on the poor. This happens with every kind of tax.

The only solution to decrease CO2 emission is to behave in a rational way and use the only practical, tested and available now clean energy source - nuclear power plants. No amount of eco-talk will change reality that neither solar nor wind energy plants will be able to power modern economy. Europe is learning this the hard way right now.

Maybe Europe will do the suicidal jump with the ideas like "Fit for 55", and will kill its economy to lower global emission by 0.05% but the rest of the World, which emits much more CO2 and will emit even more when all production will be moved from Europe to Asia or USA cannot care less.

Cellular baseband modem is especially evil since lack of software freedom is mandated by law.

I apologize for the error. Do you have an answer to the question?
That's assuming you're varying only speed and not e.g. following distance. I try to leave at least 3 seconds' distance pretty much always (often more), so I have a pretty consistent amount of time to react regardless if I'm driving 30 mph or 55 mph.

Additionally, most of the metrics are cut-offs. It doesn't matter if you brake very gradually or if you brake very close to the area where it penalizes you. Based on my driving so far, the hard braking threshold is pretty forgiving. Yesterday, I let off the accelerator completely and went full-regen braking and it didn't care.

Anyway, I've driven 99 miles (highway/city mix) with the Safety Score thing turned on, and I'm still at score 100. I haven't slowed down at all.

It's almost a certainty that at least enriched U-235 gun-type weapons would be made regardless of the Manhattan Project as the relatively simple technology of uranium enrichment came online. It's almost literally a cannon shooting a U-235 bullet into a U-235 sphere welded to the end of the cannon. Given the pure material (which you can make by spinning natural uranium in a tube), it's basically easy. Heck, the Manhattan Project people didn't even bother testing it like they did with the far more complex plutonium implosion device (Trinity).
My BMW Z4 shut down in the middle of a busy 8 lane road in my town. Temperature sensor went out and the engine shuts off when this happens. I have never been honked and yelled at some many times in my life. Nothing I could do. I had to wait for a tow. It was daytime so it could have been worse.

We already hit wavelength transfer limits (though in transmitter accuracy/viability) and can pretty easily circumvent that by transmitting different wave lengths on the same fiber. So you need to multiply this by the amount of distinct wavelengths we can use.

> This is almost impossible to quantify because we can't determine how the pandemic would have played out without lockdowns.

There is a wide spread of pandemic responses from different countries and regions, so yes, we can make pretty good guesses as to what the effect would have been.

All the various lockdown-supporting studies compare lockdowns to a do-nothing base scenario, where people are essentially assumed to be rolling around naked in a big heap, licking everything and everyone. This is completely false, because people everywhere acted on their own to protect themselves from spread.

And when you compare the effects of the decreased mobility due to ordered lockdowns vs. what people voluntarily achieve anyway, the effect is zero. No benefit, all harm.
Crypto handouts have been called "tips" for several years, long before Twitter was involved. There's of course even a crypto called TIPS[1] dating back to 2014. During that time Bitcoin and Dogecoin tips were common on Reddit crypto communities (and even other subreddits).

Yes, this is a good point. Everything is messier in real life than a few paragraphs can properly portray.

But my main point is that the difference between the national healthcare you see in Europe versus the U.S. is not the level of public spending, but the universal nature of service delivery achieved for roughly the same total public spending. The same thing for university education.

In both cases, the government spends an enormous amount and in Europe that covers a baseline of service (with private spending optional to supplement it) but in the US that covers maybe 1/2-1/3 of your bill, leaving private citizens to still face huge costs for things that are fully covered in Europe. The natural solution -- to cut employment and wages on the part of US healthcare or education workers so that they make do with the public funds they are already receiving -- is rarely advocated by those who want a more european-style system of social insurance.

Absolutely! It's a humorous take but still presents an excellent way to frame the situation through the lens of perverse incentives of board members of a private company in a smoke-and-mirrors industry such as media.

I’m sure it is, but this misses the point. If someone can work from home or have a conference call rather than travel for a meeting, the emissions savings are huge.

> How did I start it when you were the one who made a blanket statement that managers don't do "real work"?

That wasn't to you directly, it was to OP. You felt compelled to take it personally, though.

> I never took any shots at you, I only reacted to the words you wrote and gave you a different viewpoint, but you come back with shots at my skills, my experience, my career path, etc... you made it personal for no good reason.

Seemed like it was personal, with you essentially offering counseling and guidance with "Happy to discuss my experience and give further pointers (although I certainly don't have all the answers) if you want." Pointers? What swaggering arrogance from an essentially new manager!

And also this howler:

> Maybe an idea would be to use the list I made to formulate some questions for your next round of interviews

As someone else mentioned, "It’s a little telling that 90% of what you describe is undoing the actions of other managers." I agree, and to me that means you're part of the problem perpetuating a broken system.

> Maybe self-awareness is something else to stick on your personal roadmap.

Perhaps you should take this advice, before feeling that you can advise others.
I think this is being too light on the impact of covid. In places like NYC, where they had refrigerated trucks full of bodies because their morgues were full, or India where the oxygen shortage killed many many people from Delta infection...

I would argue the severe aversion in reaction to the news coming out of NYC wasn't unreasonable, even if it was an overreaction.

Shades of Theranos with this one. It's so sad that hard working, smart technologists struggle through and at best maybe make a decent living at a good tech company, yet smooth-talking phonies like these guys and Elizabeth Holmes and Adam Neumann just get money thrown at them and can never fail. Why? Because they wear turtlenecks and have the right prestigious college names on their resume?

You know doing it from the start of things is a bit misleading, right? Of course you do. You do it because it misleads.

Do the daily average. Do it since April.

Because that's what it means when one says "we're approaching". Things are changing in two different directions.

You only think it's foolish to disregard the rolling average rather than the cumulative deaths because it's only by considering the cumulative deaths can you ignore the pattern forming.

COVID is becoming an epidemic of the unvaccinated. Even with daily variations, the trends are moving in two directions. That's what the facts are showing. Disregard them at your own peril.
Closing schools and lockdown exacerbate the inequality that has already been in place. Instead of seriously looking at how to address the problems, we blame it on lockdowns. We're taught to think that opening schools will fix the problems. The US government printed 16k per individuals. Each person gets 1.4k. The rest goes into "recovery". We just want to find convenient ways to bury the real problems.
Pay engineers to optimize a number and they will, that is all you need to do. In this case they told engineers to optimize the number of ads clicked and then the engineers self organized and did the rest.

There is a solution for the waste: deep burial in stable geological conditions. The only people saying there are no solution do not have any other argument better “dangerous green-glowing slime makes me afraid, Greenpeace plz help”.

IP packets are variable size... which is why everyone measures the data rate of the underlying system.
I always viewed Scrum as training wheels. I've imposed it on teams who were dysfunctional as a way to get them on the rails. Hands and feet inside the car. Child safety locks engaged. It's a bit patronizing, but if you've ever worked with an unengaged team, it can be necessary. If you do it well, the team gets the feel for what agile delivery feels like and don't need the rituals to know what kind of touchpoints are actually required. Like the bottom of the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition. If you're "Big Tech" and have only hired the best and brightest and are working on enthralling problems, you tend to get people at the top of the pyramid who just run agile even when you don't tell them to.
I found a ghost tree on Google Street View
I just happened to be looking at this (serendipitous) location on Street View, "walking" down the road, when I found a spot which (for some reason) displays an older photo (current are 2018, this one is from 2014). It's hard to find the exact location (hint: try stepping toward Spencer St, then back toward Orchard; you'll see the seasonal lighting change when you get the right spot). It's a technical curiosity (why is this one location absent from the most recent photo set?), but the image itself is quite moving: a lone, dead tree, surreal in its gray contrast with the color around it; now vanished from the world. It is, literally, a ghost tree, a remnant of the past, only visible if you look just the right way. We are all that tree: we will all be forgotten, but yet live on, ghosts in the machine. https://imgur.com/gallery/7TqLMGv
