> Most people don’t care much about climate

I don't think that's true.

> Huge sums of money have been spent in an effort to will into existence a mass social movement to tackle climate change, and it basically hasn’t worked.

I think it has worked. Numbers show overwhelmingly around the world people believe the science (even in extreme denier countries like Indonesia they number under 20%), and as your own quoted numbers show, people do want change.

> You can get people out to a march, but the people who come are all-purpose leftist activists, which is why you have incredible trouble imposing message discipline and preventing people from showing up with “Free Palestine” and “Defund Police” signs.

Most people don't go to "rallies" because they don't see them as having a significant benefit, and they've got other things to do. It doesn't mean they don't support action. Too few people showing up to rallies, or too many "defund the police" signs at them is not the reason really significant action on climate has not happened.

I don't buy the cost argument either -- costly, controversial and unpopular policies and legislation have been implemented in countries around the world with far less support than this. Democratic countries have been dragged into wars of aggression. Banks have been bailed out after causing economic crashes and destroying peoples' housing assets. Immigration policies are widely unpopular among many western countries. The list goes on. The ruling class has not had a problem pushing through their horrendously costly and unpopular agenda before, yet they're telling us the greatest problem facing humanity and their singular most important issue has somehow this one time been derailed by the selfishness of the commoners (or even more hilariously, the boogeyman all-powerful unemployed coal miner in West Virginia who doesn't believe the science and is usually a KKK member, a Nazi, perhaps a Russian agent as well, and is somehow pulling the strings of most politicians from both main political parties)

Garbage. It's their usual lies and divisiveness. Pretend to be battling valiantly and working themselves to the bone to solve this problem that they don't actually want solved, and blame your neighbor for their faux failures.

People need to stop the singular focus on this minority of boogeymen as though they somehow have the power to hold everyone to ransom and the only way to make progress is to reason, plead, or bully them until 100% of them think exactly the same we do. And focus on the real problem which means holding the ruling class to account. And yes, that is likely going to require some very difficult reflection of "your team" and very uncomfortable realization that they have repeatedly promised change and repeatedly failed to deliver it over the decades despite at many times having strong mandates in terms of electoral victories and holding positions of power to make changes if they actually wanted. And make bad, unpopular, and costly changes they did many times, all the while largely ignoring the problem they were repeatedly calling the greatest threat facing humanity.

“Most of them are the products of the Red Guard era, they don’t respect society or the environment,” said a young Chinese resident of Guiyang, who did not want to be named.

“Square dancing is a problem left over from history. Many elderly people feel that the whole China is built by their generation. They have the absolute voice and status. We young people have done nothing, and of course are not qualified to question them.”

Is this accurate?
I felt the same way about bullet journal-ing. Got very excited after seeing other people's awesome journals and then got very discouraged after seeing my ugly journal.
> Take the pointer in the vector right after A, and swap it with B. That way, A is now right before B, and B is now right after A.

This is a joke, right? I don't see how it can't be.

But in case it isn't, in almost all problems like this it is assumed that you don't want to change the order of the other elements.

For example, if you wrote a function MoveToDirectlyAfter(a, b), and it did move elements other than a or b people would say that your function contains bugs or that it doesn't do what it says.

Terrible article, saying that a stress explanation means the patient is crazy, and that we now know something biological is going on. Ever heard of stress hormones? Adrenaline? Cortisol? Of course stress is biological.

This article just discusses one small piece of the puzzle, but the evidence shows that stress is still a major trigger for many patients.

My wife used to have almost weekly migraines every weekend, but hasn't had one in years now after moving out of a stressful job.

I don't manufacture shoes, does this mean my decision endangers the continued existence of footware?
Very very true, but to clarify too, those roles aren't as cut and dry either - it's true hunting was mostly a job for boys and young men, but older less spry men were also crafters and fabricators for their societies. They were also, a lot of the time, the 'elites' I spoke of - spiritual leaders, chieftains, hunting group leaders (which probably formed the kernel of later period dedicated warrior groups), etc. Elderly women also fulfilled spiritual leadership roles occasionally.
I know it won't happen, but going back to a chronological ordered feed would solve so many problems! No algorithm.
Just putting things in context here, it is quite common to consider that we are worse off now than 20 years ago (Internet was better then, etc). But that's not the case.
I understand the legal _why_, but legal stuff is maleable, much like most things that people have created.

Is alternate-day fasting superior to calorie restriction in lean adults?
NO is not even the worst of it. `on`, like in github actions, is interpreted as True by PyYaml by default. You have to either quote it, "on", or set certain configs I haven't bothered with just yet.

I fully agree YAML is just...not good as a transport/interchange serde.

Personally, I actually really like HCL as a human-friendly config language, but it's got challenges in writing it, and thus support in most languages, if even present, is read-only.

Will look into strictyaml!
To get something else they wanted.

Veto power doesn't mean you can simply veto anything you don't like. Well, you can but then everybody else does the same thing and the net result is nothing. So in reality, you just give up something you want for something you want more. You compromise.

But now the UK isn't shackled by having to make concessions to 25+ other countries that can veto their agenda.
"Statistically significant" in science jargon just means p < 0.05.

So I think they're saying this was a better result than the standard care, but there is more than 5% probability that was by luck.

Yet the dancing grannies took over a soccer field, while a game was in play.

And what of the lost sleep, the stress of their anti-social ways, on the rest of society. They sound like thugs.
Honestly I doubt that's the reason. A large number of political donors using those loopholes on the other hand...
Haha, not sure about below 30, but below 18 both covid and vaccines have minuscule negative impact. Instead of arguing whether the impact is 1:100,000 or 1:90,000 (AHA, vaccine mandates for children are a moral imperative because after adjusting for adverse effects short term numbers lean oh so slightly in favor of vaccines), perhaps drop the conversation as irrelevant altogether? There are other concerns in life...
Vancouver may be big for China, but for Russian citizens it's too far and irrelevant. Toronto is much more attractive in that regard as a potential emigration direction.
A huge amount of things in the US seem to be go somewhere and pay money to use the space. Whether its taking a class somewhere, a gym, going to a mall/store. Even then outside a few major cities, most places you need to drive to public places.
Interesting... I've been to China a few times (Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, others...) and my experience has been a little different.

I didn't notice so much "just grannies", but couples, and it was mainly ballroom dance, not square dancing. I don't speak much Chinese, but ballroom styles are fairly universal, and the women were delighted to dance with a foreigner. Younger generations just kinda sat around on their phones but didn't seem bothered.
Not in SF. For me, very rare to see a kid in my neighborhood, and no one talks about them. Pros and cons, sure, but it's been a while since I've heard a discussion like this.
Perhaps they should impose rules that constrain the number of GPU resources you can use to achieve your result, that levels the playing field and keeps competitions like these open to everyone instead of just institutions with access to tons of capital. They do that for Formula 1 as well.
Climate change is making people think twice about having children
> decentralization => crypto

Banks already are a decentralized system, just not a very good one. I can send a SEPA transfer from any EU account to any other EU account no matter which banks they are with and there isn't a "SCT processing company" that handles that for me, the banks communicate with each other - the system is decentralized. But that transaction takes up to a day for pretty much no reason, so we use payment cards for most things. Those are centralized. If Visa/Mastercard doesn't want to handle my transaction, I'm screwed. If instead cards simply signed an SCT message and my bank refused to process it, I could simply switch banks.

> credit card companies

Yeah, my bad, I should've said payment card companies / card payment processors. For debit card transactions they don't provide any benefit, they are only middlemen between me, the merchant and our respective banks.
Who the clients of the bank are and where that money comes from is not visible when that bank buys treasuries.
no offense, but this is absurdly reductionist.

I guess its apropos for twitter.
Perforated steel tube is a readily available material and a ratchet is a cheaper and much lower skill tool than a welder. Also seems like customization is one of the project goals.

I would imagine that if wanted to weld it instead the design would also work for you.
It’s not how costs and prices work though.
Thanks. I am fail. After a bit of foraging and poking around, I couldn't figure this out. My best guess is there was an extension, now obsolete.

>>Vaccination is not 100% effective

Nothing is, but my risk from COVID post vaccination is less than other society risks we accept as normal risks of living in a free society, for example my risk of dying in an auto accident is many times greater than my risk from COVID post vaccination

>> Vaccinated people do still spread the infection, albeit to a smaller degree

I am not sure how this statement is relative to question on if an unvaccinated person poses a risk to me to the point where we must violate their body autonomy for forcibly inject them with a medication against their will

>>Some people cannot be vaccinated, and for others it's less effective

While true, this means those people should take additional risk mitigation, this however is NOT a justification for vaccine mandates, not in my view. These people should wear N95 Masks, take extra pro cations and be extra vigilant about social distancing and/or going to large public events.

>>For the above reasons, it's beneficial to me and society at large if as many people as possible are vaccinated.

Sure, but that is not what is being debated. The question is do those reasons justify the use of force,threats, and ultimately government violence to forcibly inject people.

I say no.
Probably nothing. I think we peaked in early 2000s and now we're floating on a plateau. I don't think progress will be restored during my lifetime unless we first meet a shared catastrophe on the level of WW2.

Money disappearing is a minor failure in the sense that it is easy to track. Banks do daily audits to check that money sent in one side is deposited in another. If there is any issue, they will track it and rectify within the 3 days grace period created exactly to work around these bugs.
I see events often as well, but in China its more like I saw these events in public squares, constantly. People dancing, or exercising, or playing badminton in pretty large groups. Its not there's a few events a week, like in the US. Its there are multiple events a day.
I’ve been using rapidapi for hotstoks.com and I’m not happy with it. The product is slow and full of glitches and discovery is non-existent. There are no alerts if users signup to your api and lots of other annoying product issues.
There were almost 1,000 patients in the study. If the drug combination actually made a major difference it should have shown up with this many patients.
I think you'll find more than one thing happened. As it happens the Nazis rise to power is just about the most studied period of human history.

Trying to generate some level of John Nash type synchronicity going from an invalid inference of similarity between wealth inequality in two separate periods of history to ww2 to impeding doom is absurd. Even more foolish to assert the great depression was so simply explained by inequality. That's obviously not the case.

This brings back memories. I grew up around smallholding farming during comunist regime when time was plentyful, but it was near to impossible to buy tractor for personal use. Almost every familly owned DIY home-grown tractor built from some old diesel motor donated from who knows where and scrap metal.
In my experience JSON allowed absence of codegen and superior schema definition capabilities to protobuf, and also nice transformations with parts of jq built into JSON libraries. Try to limit structure complexity to something which can be verified before usage, yes. YMMV.
In theory you are right but the reality of these dancing grannies is that they can be loud as hell. Like, disturbingly loud over a huge area and the noise pollution they introduce can be bad even by China's fairly noisy urban environments. Public spaces get tons of use without them, anyway. Also, sometimes they are fine and completely benign. It's the ones that become a local "thing" and draw huge crowds as well as that have no consideration for the surrounding residences that are a problem. I love the sounds of daily life in China (even the occasional new business opening fireworks extravaganza at 7am, lol) but the noisiest of these dancing granny groups are really a bit much.
CT isn't expected to help with key exposure (although, it does a bit, because you can probably maybe search by subject public key), its purpose is to make it easier/possible to find issued certificates that shouldn't have been issued. It does a pretty decent job of reducing the window between misissued certificate and CAB Forum discussion.

That doesn't protect privacy in specific cases, but it helps in aggregate.
Yes, that's the faustian bargain we've got when we decided journalism should be free on the internet.

It is annoying, regrettable, but is just the way things are today: clickbait or die.

But let's not this detail detract from the argument as it is solid and with serious possible implications that merit being discussed.
>Without good dental hygiene adults can expect to lose their teeth by age 40, at which point (in a foraging society with primitive tools) that adult is going to be more than slightly malnutritioned.

If you go camping, and forget your toothbrush/toothpaste, rub your finger on the blackened remains of last night's fire and rub it on your teeth, it does a more than adequate cleaning job, albeit without the nice minty flavor. I've started to notice "charcoal" as a highlighted additive in commercial toothpastes recently, although I suspect this little bit of folk wisdom predates recreational camping and the advertising industry by a considerable amount, and is pretty easy to "discover" again should the thread ever be broken.

Also, a diet high in vegetable matter that requires heavy chewing and salivating is ime very good for overall dental health, as is chewing on anything not-sugary or otherwise damaging to your teeth, modern example: sugar free gum. Dental surgery is something I would not want to do in the premodern era, but if modern toothpastes etc were to disappear, I suspect we wouldn't miss them very much.

Another thing I would add is full automation. Yeah it's unlikely I would live to see the automation of entire career paths, but not for my kids.

Right now, the working class is needed for it's labor. I'm sure you've all seen the hiring signs. That isn't going to last forever. Can you expect a better life for your kids if they may not have a job?

So much would have to change to make full automation a good thing for everyone.
when I said "their ideals and head of state" I was referring to the party, not the voters. I think what you wrote about coalitions in parliamentary system is useful for others, but doesn't add to our conversation. But to continue the discussion, my main counterpoint is that a coalition and coalition chosen head of state still dilutes what any particular voter wanted to happen, as opposed to satisfying at least 50% of the country at any given time.
Competition is alright, problem is that with the airlines, literally all competition in the last 2+ decades was entirely in price.

Given how cheap tickets today are, there so much that could be improved for the small and really non-decisive increases in prices (compared to the rest of average trip costs say hotel, taxi to/from airport, etc)! It's not that expensive to turn the modern day economy class experience - which is a truly an insult to human dignity - into something quite pleasant - in the structure of overall trip price it will be barely noticeable. But that won't happen because people pick entirely by PRICE alone. This is irrational and sad.

Compare with restaurants for example. There's also a ton of competition there, they go bust very frequently and have also very thin margins. But they don't try to compete ONLY in price, there is a great variety and customer experience is on average quite acceptable. Even closer point of comparison is hotels. There's nothing wrong going on with the hotels, while they are also a terribly competitive industry.
Well, that's the stuff unicorns are made of, folks.
An optimistic take is that the pessimists will have a smaller share of the future since they aren't reproducing.
The women of Afghanistan would most certainly stop having kids if they had the choice.

The only reason "people" of Afghanistan continue having kids is because the women there do not have a choice. They need access to effective and convenient birth control like IUDs, pills, vasectomies, condoms, and most importantly, women's financial independence.

Given these things, birth rates drop around the world in almost all cultures since childbirth is a very costly thing for women, and who only in recent decades have gained control of it.
My (guitar, hohner) trem will still drop the strings off the fretboard, and can raise the tuning up about a 4th.
Add lights in a show, over time..something might drift - or, in a jam (as in session) with no keyboards - the bass may drift out and you have to retune.
Happy to say, my strings are >15 years old! Dinged and dented, and very bent (fretwear), i refuse to change them only on principle. After all that, i have a piezo tuner, my pedals have tuners, but i much prefer (in a live situation, especially) using a my ears over a machine - an 'on' snaredrum will soon get those beats beating.

Systematically ruining people's lives for misguided attempts in preserving a society that only exists in their heads. And for fun and profit of course. I truly believe almost all kinds of bad things happening have had their seeds planted in this type of abuse a long time ago.

- limit the number of pitchers than can be in a regular length game

- reduce the number of fielders by one

- eliminate video replay challenges, which just slow the game

- put hit by pitch on second base, unless someone is already on first

- let games that are still tied by the 11th inning be ruled a loss for the home-team

- MLB be less tight-fisted about how you watch the games, and make them day games so kids can watch

- get rid of interleague play, and divide leagues by time-zone to make the game-times reasonable for fans.
I've been there, I get it. Sincerely. I know walking on a wire is. The difference is nature is not society. Homeless people are not struggling from efforts to gather food but from abandonment, rejection and inner circle crimes.
Not to mention the fact that Florida is notoriously older too.
In the case of ensembles with a piano, I've heard it's because you can't retune the piano in the minutes before the performance. So it makes no sense for musicians to tune to a fork (or using an electric tuner) and leave the piano out of tune, so they all take the key tone from the piano
