Yes, this ilmost exactly what I had in mind. If I could buy a "cheap" car today knowing that I could get extra range this way, I'd happily choose EV over an ICE without any anxiety. It would be nicer on the environment as well because not all cars are lugging around unnecessary battery they didn't need.

I seriously wonder why the same company - Gogoro didn't extend their reach to cars(at least partnered with one of the major car manufacturers eyeing the EV market).

The difference in our thinking is that I look outside the scope of our singular species and also take into account what it does to this amazing planet, its habitats, and the millions of other species it houses. We're raping and wrecking this place.

All of the accomplishments you list are for our own species, whilst you dismiss anything else. I think humans are an amazing species, as well as a catastrophe. Or maybe it's technically not that humans are awful, rather our "systems" are, our endless growth machine of short term optimization.

I didn't advocate for dying out. There's quite a lot of wiggle room between the predicted 10 billion peak and zero. I would welcome a population decline if it is voluntary and think it's better both for people and for the planet.
Sure, it's a sketch of a research design, not a complete one. The point is that this paper makes little sense, because people will say any old thing.

Just to try and help explain why people think you have a negative tone: written words tend to be interpreted negatively by default since you can't hear the person's tone of voice, so you have to use extra words to reinforce your positive intentions, and avoid using phrases that can be construed as positive with the right tone but have negative connotations by default.

For example, "Why do X when you could do Y" assumes they were aware of Y and consciously chose X over Y. It is overly presumptuous especially since you don't know them. It also carries the implication that you think Y is a better "default" choice and comes across as a prompt for them to defend why they chose X instead. It might be better phrased as "Had you considered Y instead of X, and if so, I am curious why you chose X instead?"

Also the phrase "Why would you do X" kind of comes across as "Who in their right mind would do X". A better way to say it is something like "Curious about the use of X? In my experience Y works better, have you had a chance to try that yet?"
I am not sure if parsing XML is better than parsing JSON. Many languages or libraries' XML parser are dangerous by default. You usually need to manually configure your XML parser to be secure from XML-related attacks. Fortunately, some languages and libraries are going to make XML have a securer defaults, this is a good change. IMO, I think XML shouldn't have include many questionable features from security perspective.
I agree with you as a concept, but "higher inflation" is actually a stated goal of most central banks. They try to keep it in the 2-3 % range.

The explanatory "basic stuff get more expensive for ordinary Joe" is a little deceptive, but still speaks to the point? It gets more expensive for everyone, but "ordinary Joe" who has less money as his lack of assets didn't go up with price, ends up paying more relative to his net worth.

It also _is_ creating bubbles in the economy, but that is _not_ a stated purpose and he isn't saying it is.

AFAIK Luxembourg and Ireland's focuses are slightly different. They both have very low rates of corporation tax, and that is starting to be addressed by things like the US plan for a minimum tax level.

For me there are three big reasons:

* The pure stress of having a child, which I don't think I could handle, and the associated limitation on my own life due to that

* Loss of any sense of social pressure and lack of any ideal that it is something I should do

* I also can't escape the idea that for me it would be a fundamentally selfish act, I would only be doing it because I'm scared of regretting not doing it, which for me is reason enough to _not_ do it

MIT Wants to Replace Lights with Glowing Plants
How much carbon does having a child emit?

I've seen suggestions that it is about 60t a year that sounds absolutely absurd when the average per adult is 13t (in the UK).

So a child that is physically much smaller than me (and so needs less food to eat, less material for clothing etc), and lives in the same house as me (so benefits from the same heating that I have on anyway, the same lighting that I have on anyway) and goes to the same places as me when I drive around anyway, somehow emits over 400% carbon in the process?

How does that work out?
Because they, like many others, are extremely scared of what the future will bring to their children
"brazen disregard of the law being applied to elites degrades the reliability of justice. People pick up on this"

Not just the elites. Law enforcement and prosecutorial discretion can be (is) abused at all levels. It can create bias based on income, race, status (ie if you are part of that same system as a LEO etc), political identity, etc. Rule of law has become a joke and it's essentially an oligarchy since the people in power can choose to ignore the law and we lack proper oversight of the people who run the system.

> You mentioned changing the order of two elements in a list, such that one comes after the other.

Putting B after A is not swapping them, it is putting the element B so it is right after A. You could technically interpret it as you did, but only a contrarian would do that. If you want more people to support rust then you should stop being a contrarian. If you want me and others to assume that the Rust community is full of hard to work with people then please continue, but that wont make people more likely to pick up rust.

If instead of behaving like you do here people would just say "Sure thing, in order to get that performance in rust you just do X and Y!" I bet people would be way more supportive of rust. But if working in the language means that people like you will come and argue like this then why not just write a C library, and then someone will write a Rust wrapper and people are happy? While if they'd write it in unsafe Rust people would come and complain like hell.

One way of looking at "Statistically significant" is that it's statement about confidence in measurement. Consider a couple scenarios involving unfair coins:

In scenario 1, you have a coin that's weighted towards head with a probability of 75%. You want to confirm that it really is an unfair coin, so you flip it 10 times and get 7 heads. In casual conversation, you or I might say that 75% is significantly more than 50% you get with a normal coin. However the result of your experiment isn't statistically significant; a fair coin could have easily given the same results by chance.

In scenario 2, you have an unfair coin that comes up heads with probability 50.1%. You flip it one billion times, and 501 million of those are heads. Now we have the opposite situation: the difference between 50% and 50.1% is insignificant in most contexts. But the results of this experiment are unambiguous; over 1 billion flips, it would be extremely unlikely for a fair coin to show that large of a skew. So the results of our experiment are statistically significant and we can conclude that the coin really is unfair.
True though that may be, it does not answer the question - why?
PTO usage generally needs to be approved, I can't imagine Southwest approving enough time off to shut down their operations.

If employees are using PTO by claiming they're sick (assuming there's no separate "sick days" they would normally use), Southwest might have recourse to deny paying PTO but whether or not they will is another question.

This is specifically why, in the case of these exact protests, the police gave the crowd ample opportunity to leave the area without being arrested, around 5pm, after allowing them to protest peacefully the entire day.

Half the crowd left, then the remaining crowd pumped themselves up and attacked the police after being peaceful the entire day.

Seems to me like the reasonable ones left and the remainders were assholes. The extremists were the ones being shot with rubber bullets. Anyone that wasn't an extremist and still got shot is an idiot, they had every opportunity to voice their opinion peacefully.

But all I hear from the fucking yanks on HN is them projecting their own politics onto what's happening over here. There's so much misinformation in threads like these and everyone laps it up like idiots. Like I said before, I watched the entire day live on my second monitor, from livestreams run by the protestors themselves. I got their viewpoint, which shows clearly what happened. Whereas the people trying to argue against policy brutality here are doing so with Fox News rhetoric, not with facts.

We need more eyes on the police, at all times. But we need that scrutiny to come with facts. I have no love for Victoria Police, but I'm sick of them and our liberal (small L) government being the focal point of a debate half way across the world that completely misses the mark. HN seems like it skews left on privacy and surveillance issues, but because of it's American focus, the people here just spew dangerous rhetoric that risks cutting the head off the lesser evil, when we have an ultra conservative federal government pushing the most authoritarian tech surveillance laws in the western world. They're on opposite sides here. As long as there's no realistic chance of getting the average person to vote for a third party, if it's all the same, I'd prefer if you all stop letting an American media invasion turn us into the 4th fucking reich.

People fail to realize that modern economic activity is a small veneer on top of vast energy consumption. Coal & gas prices exploding will reflect into exploding inflation, which will reflect into imploding purchasing power before long.
inb4: "inflation helps people in debt and the poor are in debt"

- the most poor in society don't have banking and can't be in debt. They're usually also VERY price sensitive.

- typically the poor who have weak access to financial products are participating in e.g. payday lending, which has very high "APR"s and this debt is not intended to be amortized on "inflationary" timescales (you're supposed to pay back at the end of the month).

Above them, much debt is revolving debt at high rates (double-digit APR) and those rates are still both intended for money to be kept at for short periods and not helped by inflation.

Just about the only "class" of "poor" folks who are helped by inflation are those that own houses that were purchased by a mortgage, and we are clearly seeing that homeownership is being pushed further and further upmarket. I guess there are some "poor" people on some sort of banking small business loan, but my gut feeling is that is sort of "princess and the frog" thing is today a very quaint notion, and not actually that common anymore.

The rich, also greatly benefit from easy money and lending with low interest rates. Not directly, but, because they are able to maximize their return on capital through financial instruments like shorts, Forex, etc, whose mechanisms require "lending" in some form or another. These instruments would be more expensive in a regime with less QE.

I don't think they're that reluctant, honestly.

But it goes beyond credit card companies too. It applies to the whole banking system.

It will soon be the case where the majority of Americans live in states where recreational cannabis is legal (it was ~1 in 3 last year but NY, NJ and others will push it over). Yet you can't use a credit card to buy cannabis pretty much anywhere AFAIK.

Worse, dispensaries have to operate on an all-cash basis because they simply can't get bank accounts.

Granted, the legality of cannabis is a grey area since states allow it but the Federal government still maintains it as illegal.

I personally don't like the financial system being gatekept for legal activity this way.

Whether or not they could is a legal question. It seems though they're happy to appease politicians and "values" voters by virtue signaling on these issues, however.

As for sex work, in particular, this one is tricky. While I fully support body autonomy and in an ideal world, sex-for-money and the like should be legal, it's not that simple in reality. Why? Because the sex industry is deeply tied to human trafficking. I have no idea how to solve that problem.
Yes, but at the point 'degrowth' surviving companies will likely be the most productive companies bar government bailouts. I don't really disagree with you for the most part. I just really see negative birth rates as inherently bad things.
If you want to run their on-demand scanner you need to install a root level program that auto runs every time you turn on the computer.

It installs a half dozen always-on background processes, even on Mac. These processes are constantly phoning home [with an obfuscated payload].

I have written to them to ask why a on demand scanner is doing this and got no response.

I suspect that they have are highly regarded mostly because of good marketing.

By the way, they call themselves "Malware Bytes". History says that when someone tells you they have nefarious intentions, you should believe them.

However, none of that is related to this article, which is just them using some open source software without bothering to keep the license requirements.

First time I see a table about having children that is not assuming your kids and the next 20 generations will have the same CO2 emissions as you, interesting :)

Okay, wow. So they're indifferent to the notion of homo sapiens becoming extinct?
Maybe because they don't stop emitting carbon when they move out at 18? And then go on to have kids and grandkids of their own, who in turn also emit more carbon?
Okay so you didn't do any research before making your comment, cool.

The issue is scaling and evenness. If the land tax is crushing, it will definitely pull in enough revenue, but the people will revolt so it shouldn’t be that. Now it has to be adjusted to somewhat fair, but since it isn’t geared towards the value of buildings on top, it isn’t related to infrastructure needs, so the money to fund those will probably have to at least partially come from other tax sources. And it’s not like we throw all the money into one pot and then distribute as needed (though maybe we should?).

Property tax today scales with improvements, which are more correlated to infrastructure needs. That leads to unbalance as well, as richer districts can get more revenue while poorer ones (whose property are worth less) can starve.

So if there is a bug, you can fix it yourself, whether or not the provisioning company has a(n) (un)paid plan for you that fixes it. This makes sense - otherwise you could once in a while let a bug "slip" to production intentionally and then ransom your users for more payment.
