The whole US. I found it hard to believe how little diesel emissions are regulated in the EU, especially after the huge deal made of VW testing scandal.

For all of the rhetoric, I'd have thought the issue was more strenuously regulated.
> "At national level, this right has been shown to empower people, particularly those most vulnerable to environmental damage or climate change, to drive change and hold governments to account"

Right, so one of the consequences would be that the US gives a bunch of activists permission to use the legal system to harass anything that they like — not just new projects, but everything that exists in the world. Perhaps we could go all Keystone XL on some Google data center for polluting the world with CO2 and global warming. You don't even need to believe in the cause, you just need to hate Google.

Meanwhile nations like China spewing godawful particulates all over Shanghai will surely WILL FOLLOW THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW AND ALLOW THE LITTLE GUY TO SPEAK UP AGAINST THE ABUSES OF THEIR STATE RUN INDUSTRY. Mmmhmm.

it's all stupid power games in the end, and this is NOT an effective way to get kids out of the NYCHA apartments slathered with lead paint (to use a local example)
> Is there any work on smaller scale, "home" or "neighborhood" carbon capture technologies that could work with some extra energy laying around?

Gardening.

If you garden without fertilizers, and compost garden waste, then you are capturing carbon in the soil. If you use a composting toilet too, you capture even more.

If you compost only the garden waste, and only( spread that compost on your garden, then the amount of stored carbon won't increase much, because a lot of what goes into your compost must have come from the soil. But if you also compost food-waste, and if you add soil-conditioners such as farmyard manure, then the amount of stored carbon will increase steadily.

But as has been noted up-comment, the easiest, cheapest way to get carbon into the ground is to not dig it up in the first place.

They can certainly screw up and be victim to a leak like this as well.

Environmental concerns are important, human rights are important too, and they are not comparable. You can't compensate for the lack of human and civil rights by polluting less or buying carbon credits. Putting everything in the "human rights" bucket create an impression that you can.

> People seem to take the unity of U.S. for granted. But there is nothing granted about it.

I agree completely. It’s hard for us to imagine seeing it break up but there is nothing that prevents that except our general desire to live together.

I think large democracies with functioning governments are very unstable over long time horizons. The reason I mention functioning is that if the government of a large democracy is largely non-functional than you can mostly keep doing whatever you want with whatever cultural norms you have where you live. But a functional one will actually pass laws and actually enact things that affect your life that you may disagree with - look at the current abortion stuff. There is no reconciliation to be had on many of these issues. Or look at the Republicans rhetoric around the debt limit “they’ll have to do it without us” - yikes.

The US has lasted as long as it has because for most of the time the country was somewhat homogenous and where it wasn’t you could “go fuck off into the woods” and nobody would bother you. With that being less of a possibility the country was always on a collision course for instability, but WW2 and the Cold War kept people united around a common enemy that threatened basically held beliefs. With that gone we will either have a new uniting enemy, or we’ll eventually just form some different governments.

There is 푸르다 which can refer to green or blue. Specifically “맑은 가을 하늘이나 깊은 바다, 싱싱한 풀의 빛깔과 같이 밝고 선명하다”.

I have no idea what’s up with that article title though. Clearly there is 파랗다/파란색 etc? Edit: the title should be “languages don’t map colors exactly the same and can have more or less words for a color” would be a better title. But I think most people already know that.
> They are conservative in the sense that they look after the interests of the old aristocracy and a coalition of the rich.

I thought this was the literal definition of right wing? The side that supported the king against the democratic will of the people?

And is there anyone who has a rhetoric of "less taxes" who actually intends everyone to benefit? That seems like a mirage and it's all done in service of the rich and powerful.

Which is a hard policy to sell to ordinary people, unless you wrap it in some cheap bigotry to confuse them.

I would define curiosity as a fundamental biological (and human) need. It's what drives the mouses in Tolman's experiments to explore the labyrinth even when satiated.
It is a need because - from an evolutionary point of view - being curious increases the odds to gain useful knowledge and survive and thrive.
Therefore, curiosity, in this perspective, is the intrinsically motivated drive to gain knowledge.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned good old H. Ross Perot, the Texas billionaire who made Bill Clinton president in 1992. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot)

Perot peeled off enough libertarian voters from the Republicans to enable a Democratic victory. It odd looking back at him. He was not a proto-Trump exactly but he ran against the NAFTA free trade agreement in a way that looks a lot like how Trump ran against shipping all heavy industry to China.

My first reaction was that Yang is going to splinter the Democratic coalition thus enable Trump to get a second term. But maybe he can pull moderates away from the Republican side (especially in Arizona).

After looking at it for a second time, it looks really out-of-touch with reality and will not have a significant impact. Political polarization isn't a product of a broken political system. People are angry for a damn good reason. It's a reflection of all of the economic gains of the last 40 years going to the billionaires.

Someone has got to take control of the country back from the 0.1% like FDR did. That someone will likely be an unknown politician in the Democratic party who makes them pay for the costs of addressing climate crisis. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon.

I wouldn't conflate Java and Python in the boilerplate camp. Python can be very boilerplate-y, but it tends to only happen in the hands of Java developers.

That said, even clean, idiomatic Python isn't as terse as sh. It also isn't as terse as perl. Many would argue that's a good thing. The optimum point for readability isn't found at either of the extremes. Not entirely unlike how the most readable way of writing English is neither shorthand nor blackletter.

It's not better than nothing. Entirely corrupting the definition of human rights by routinely putting the worst human rights offenders on the human rights council, is worse than doing nothing. It gives sanction to those human rights offenses by pretending those nations deserve to be on the human rights council, that they have earned equal representation on such a matter.

The UN would be doing the same thing if this context were to become real. Nobody will be inspecting China, Russia or 37 other dictatorships for environmental human rights abuses.

> You can't compensate for the lack of human and civil rights by polluting less or buying carbon credits.

To an extent, you can – obviously not by buying carbon credits, though. Doing things that actually improve (or, reduce less slowly) the living conditions of humans is comparable to poor living conditions of humans.
Anecdatally, on OMAD for 6 months (23h daily fast), with just espresso in the morning, and one meal late in the day, net have lost about 30 lbs. The weight loss slows down as your metabolism adapts. It is a way to get my total caloric intake down, as I just enjoyed eating too much and having to exercise discipline 3x+ a day is a losing battle. Out of sight, out of mind, etc.

Any perception of new mental clarity comes from how I relate to hunger, which I can mentally translate to a kind of excitement, similar to what some people can also do with fear. The clarity could easily be attributed to attitude and a choice that mitigates suffering. There probably isn't nutritional magic involved.
So because China won’t follow the rules, they shouldn’t exist and we should all spew as many particulates in the air as we can? Those activists are the only thing standing up for the interests of the people; the corporations have all the pull in the legislative world.

Nihilism is a good way to justify acting against the common good, which is exactly why we need more drastic positive action against climate change. China will do what it’s gonna do, but we can choose a better path for ourselves.
Yes, there is vhost negotiation happening in TLS before session is setup, and the webserver selects the apropriate certificate. The loss of privacy is minimal, since without this system you would be forced to use one IP per TLS host (or disable TLS), and DNS binding those IPs to websites are public.

For the second concern, it can be in principle automated to the point where you only need to inform the webserver of its hostname(s). If the DNS A records are correctly configured, it's trivial for the DNS server to verify the IP address and sign the CRL generated by the webserver on the fly. Like a letsencrypt operated by your DNS provider that simply works.

I've been really surprised at how simple it can be to configure complex ICs with basic pull up / pull down resistors and voltage dividers.

The (older) books I was reading got me really nervous about needing to design all kinds of complicated circuits, but most things these days are just finding an available IC and configuring it.

Well... It's not so trivial to find an "available" IC this year, but hopefully this too shall pass.
I’m smiling a bit while reading your comment. You are completely correct that that estimate is virtually meaningless. And yet… that doesn’t mean it’s completely useless!

I’ve been using a somewhat meaningless Monto Carlo inspired approach to project planning for a while in my consulting company. The vast majority of the projects I do have only a small amount in common with previous projects, so when I’m estimating I’m informed by past estimate vs actual numbers, but not really relying on much other than intuition and gut feelings from past work.

My basic approach is to estimate 2- or 3-sigma upper/lower estimates for each task, modelled (incorrectly) as a Normal distribution in hours, and then sum the random variables to come up with a final distribution (whose variance is quite a bit smaller than what you see on the original bag of tasks). From there, if I am making a quote, I’ll quote at +3-sigma x hourly rate as a high-end effort estimate. If it seems like a very meeting-heavy client, I’ll either add meetings in as development tasks or just pad it out by a %age or fixed hours/week.

This technique has worked amazingly well for me, and it’s been quite rare that I blow the estimate, and in the… one time I can think of, we missed by very little and there were tasks that we hadn’t thought of when we did the estimate.

To your point though (with walking the dog), there’s a really key thing that this process doesn’t capture, somewhat on purpose: the resulting estimate is in effort-hours, not delivery date. While modelling per-task effort hours as Normal is suspect, modelling task delivery dates as Normal is completely irrecoverably wrong: delivery dates, in my experience, only ever slide in one direction. People get sick and the project slips a week; people don’t ever get super healthy and effectively knock out 80 or 120 hours worth of tasks in a week.

I honestly haven’t found a good way to estimate delivery dates very well. At one point I did put together some regression on my “actual billed hours per week” based on my billing, but ran into the same problem. “Oh, my dog died and my mother-in-law got sick during that project.”

Someone who’s better at statistics might have a better way to model that as a high-skew distribution, but when I tried doing that myself I ended up with a distribution that didn’t feel like it did a good job of capturing the non-negligible long tail of things that slow down calendar estimates without burning hours.
I am confused. This seems to be the same post. Your comment from 1 hour ago is the only one on the post from 4 days ago.

The Greek for sky (ουρανός/Uranus) is etymologically related to words for rain (see: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BF%E1%BD%90%CF%81%CE%B1...). Greece isn't known for its abundant rainfall.

It is actually fairly normal to name the sky for the things it has in it (clouds, rain, etc), and it is not a strong indicator of how good the weather is.

One of the speed sucks I've noticed is that on the posts listing page (and perhaps pages, WC products, and other CPTs as well, I haven't yet checked) is that the quick-edit feature needs a join to the taxonomies, and that can show up in Query Monitor.

Futhermore, from what I recall, even if you disable Quick Edit, it gets removed from the UI but the now unnecessary query / join continues to happen.
What service?
I found that Chrome destabilized and black-screened a lot when I had 1500+ tabs open, but Opera oddly enough did not. Opera seems to have slightly better memory management and background tab handling. (Puts them to sleep better.) That said, it does still take a very long time to reopen that many tabs. That's where stability comes in... you don't want to have to close and reopen your web browser throughout the day, if you can avoid it.

Opera does indeed have switch to tab, FYI - and open tab searching.

Would I argue that the societal value of Amazon is actually huge (AUC-wise). Amazon positively impacts all of it's employees, consumers as well as other companies (my company wouldn't exists if AWS hadn't paved the wave for cheap cloud computing).

Anyway, it is certainly a mistake to equate generating socieltal value with financial gains. In many settings there is a strong positive correlation (Amazon IMO), others where it's weak (research) and yet others where it's negative (drug dealing).
This is it exactly. Western country have to actually follow the international laws that are put into place. Countries like China just have to claim they follow the laws.
I mean let's look:

- 2012 - Obama

- 2008 - Obama

- 2004 - Bush

- 2000 - Bush

- 1996 - Clinton

- 1992 - Clinton

I'd think that Bush represented a socially conservative position, and I'm not entirely certain that Trump was any more conservative on particular social issues. Additionally, I think Clinton represented a middle of the road approach to social issues (RFRA, massive deregulation, "begrudgingly" signed Defense of Marriage Act, etc.) On economic issues, they all fall somewhere between middle of the road and hardline neoliberalism.
I agree it is a problem, but by "nothing" I mean the state before UN declaration of human rights, i.e. before 1948. I think we can agree that as of 2021 humanity has made some progress since then?
