Been "from home" for the last 20 years as I am an ISV and pretty much "enjoy some social life" without any commuting to work.

I have to completely disagree with this. We absolutely can make better concrete. In fact, we can make cars super fast, super reliable, and bulletproof too. The question is - why would we.

Things cost money. The hoover dam is made of concrete, is a hundred years old, and is doing just fine. For most concrete applications we are comparing the roman construction to, we use a balance of cost and utility. And here's the fun thing: when we need much better structural integrity, we don't even use concrete, we use other things.

So this question then becomes "the puritans had better horse carriages than we build now, why?" Well, it's not because we can't build a better horse carriage. It's because when we need to move a lot of heavy things, we use a truck.

There is no demand for expensive long-lasting concrete, except in rare cases like a big dam - where we do use long-lasting concrete.

And yes, Roman concrete was luck, not science. Because they have very little understanding of material sciences compared to what we know now. In fact, if I remember correctly they built a bunch of stuff out of sandstone, which burns, and burned down Jerusalem. But I may be misremembering something the tour guide said.

The fact is, without material sciences, you simply cannot run a bunch of experiments using trial and error to test things for over a century. Because while they improved over centuries, they could only test a couple of things to last those centuries (because you have to wait a hundred years for the results).

Lots of cultures tried concrete. One got it randomly right. There are people that go to a hundred palm readers, who all say random things. They find one that correctly predicts an event. Their takeaway is "that palm reader is real." That's called survivorship bias.

Old stuff is fun and mythical. They discovered some very basic facts about the universe. Extremely basic by modern standards. Their top scientists did what kids in 9th grade now know. Saying otherwise - that's just romanticizing the past.
I was unaware of that. Thank you for the bit of knowledge!

>It certainly wasn't the case for Portal or any other site I've seen that used this feature.

What do you mean? The only change Chrome is making is limiting it from http:// sites. If Portal is saying Chrome is breaking them, then they must have been making connections from http:// sites. The mixed content limitations have been there for a long time already, which must be why they were using http:// . I've never used Portal myself so I don't have direct evidence they were using http:// , but this is the only logical explanation I can come up with for why they would say Chrome is breaking them.

Than its obviously a junk opinion, unless you want to live in a medical apartheid state. Are you seriously suggesting because of this opinion the government has the right to put anything in your body they want, for no matter how low the threshold risk. You want to live under such laws?

I'll ask you a second question. Hypothetically, do you think the government has a right to kill 1% of the people to save a another preferred 1% of the people? Would it matter if it was 2%?

Tangential, but what I appreciate about Elixir/Erlang is that you have ETS out of the box that is basically a key-value store on a lightweight Erlang process (without socket access or network calls) with flexible 'types', and then DETS brings persistence, mnesia adds schemas, queries, transactions, replication and other DBMS-like features... all this and you can use Erlang's actor model to cluster and horizontally scale, or just use it like a simple L1 cache, as described in the article
Partly because devs tend to labour under the misapprehension that:

b) …and it won't be difficult to do.

The Walmart app actually has that information, but it’s got some kind of strange ‘in the store’ detection that doesn’t work most of the time. So you’ll be using the app to try to find things, there’s zero stock or aisle location information and then 10 minutes later you’ll get a screen pop that says something along the lines of welcome to store X and then you can get stock and location information for products.

Lowes is trying to do as good as Home Depot but they seem to have a bunch of strange undocumented locations like N50 that nobody knows about.

Even if these forecasts on the Democrats losing in 2022 or 2024 are true, isn’t it only a temporary outcome? The younger generations (Gen Z) skew a lot more left than previous ones (including Millennials), and their polling on policing, gender, immigration, socialism, and so on reflects this. There are also many institutions that drive that trend: Social media is skewed leftward systemically (due to moderation policies from left-leaning tech companies), colleges skew leftward (see voting patterns among professors), K-12 schools skew leftward (see injection of progressive viewpoints into curricula by the NEA), and culture skews leftward (see Hollywood). Add to that other structural changes like declining birth rates among Americans and birthright citizenship for offspring of illegal immigrants, and it feels to me like there is no way the GOP has political viability beyond the next couple cycles. So does 2022 or 2024 matter? Is it really much of a signal for Democrats to be more moderate? Or is the Democratic platform just a bit ahead of its time to shine?
> because of this opinion the government has the right to put anything in your body they want, for no matter how low the threshold risk

No, I don't, and neither is that what Jacobson or the Occupational Safety and Health Act say.

"There was no provision for actually forcing vaccination on any person," just a monetary penalty [1]. It relied on "the opinion of the Board of Health" finding it was "necessary for the public health or the public safety" to mandate the vaccine. It evaluated how the Board of Health made that decision, and found it was "qualified to make that judgment" and "did not act in an unreasonable, arbitrary or oppressive manner."

In short, a fact specific, scoped and expert-guided standard that "would probably be upheld as long as (1) the disease still exists in the population where it can spread and cause serious injury to those infected, and (2) a safe and effective vaccine could prevent transmission to others."

I am not comparing covid deaths with the entire population, only with the number of people that die from some cause. In a given year, most people do not die, other than for really old age groups.

For example, 13463 50yo females died from some cause since Jan 2020. Out of those deaths, 1605 were deaths with covid, for a 11.9% fraction. For comparison, cancer is 22% of deaths in 45-55 age group and heart disease 19.5%, making covid third cause of death for this age group, with accidents the fourth at 8.3%

It seems we're both pretty good at hyperbole.

> Can't even protest in a responsible covid-safe manner

Breaking lockdown to protest lockdown kinda misses the point of a lockdown. I understand people's frustration but once you compare the number of covid-related deaths to other countries you can reasonably conclude that the overall effort of fighting the pandemic was successful. Were there some badly implemented measures from the local governments? Possibly. But the idea behind them was to preserve life, which seems to have happened. I don't know of any country that managed to somehow allow people free movement and keep covid-related deaths to a minimum, so it's a trade-off between the two.

> You know nothing about the toll of the world's longest lockdown

Well, I know that in any democratic society citizens have not only rights but also responsibilities. Lockdowns are a way in which the community temporarily sacrifices some freedom in order to protect vulnerable people, and I believe that this must be done in any civilized society. Yes, it will take a toll on people, and it's the right thing to do. We've known it since Socrates.
The reason I'm calling it a Kmart riot is because I can see the avalanche of social media comments by your average Joe, radicalised in his own bubble to believe that Australia is creating the fourth Reich because he has to wear a mask. Another very common lockdown complaint is "my kids are bored they want to go out". Yeah, sorry, I can't take this seriously. I'm sure there are some real dramas out there, I have empathy for people who experience hardship, but the majority (totality?) of the complaints I've heard are just laughable.

> Would it please you if more than 250,000 marched though the city like they did in protest of committing Australian troops to the war on terror?

Yes it would, but my minimum standards would be to have a social media response of at least the same magnitude as the one to the lockdowns. That's an easy way to gauge public opinion these days, just count the number of articles, likes and comments on Facebook and YouTube.
Bonus points for writing letters to MPs, government and journalists to inquire on the progress of the investigation, if there are enough resources allocated for it and what is being done to protect the witnesses, for example.
Edit: I'm not against war, sometimes it's absolutely necessary. Targeting civilians however is simply abominable and it's not clear to me how one can be at peace knowing unconvicted murderers are walking around in the community. If morality isn't an issue, at the very least we have the practical concern of whether they'll murder civilians again. Brushing this off seems not very prudent.

That isn't my experience. There are in fact quite a lot of Chinese people that jump over the firewall. Most of the time, their opinions are quite different from the mainstream western perspective. But when they voice such opinions on western platforms, they tend to be labelled as shills. Only negative, dissenting opinions about China are accepted.

I am in favor of relaxing the firewall. Yet I hold no illusions about that yielding a better outcome when it comes to inter-cultural understanding: it think all in all it's just going to lead to more flamewars.
My reply was too short in light of your lengthy message, I

The central idea of the european carbon pricing system is NOT that we set a price for carbon and hope that it works to decrease emissions.

Instead, we set a certain amount of emissions per year that we allow, and auction the emission rights. And there is a set rate of relative decrease in the annual tonnage of floated emission rights. The annual decrease is currently 2.2%, which is a steepening compared to the pre-2021 1.7%. [1]

So, as long as the mechanism is working (and it is), it makes limited sense to talk about measuring how much emissions happened under the emission trading scheme, since that's a set parameter assigned by political decisionmaking. [2]

But a better critique / caveat about the system is that not everything is covered by the emission trading system. Some big sectors, eg transport, have emission reductions enacted by other mechanisms in more traditional ways.

To tackle your argument of "a lot of pain and political capital expended for very small gains in terms of CO2/GDP" - this is I feel a tangent and feels a bit like moving the goalposts and it would be hard to productively debate this - my opinion is that the gains are big, not only because we've effectively reducing emissions today, but also because we have a robust system for the years to come that we know can cap emissions, steered by the democratic process. You also brought up efficiency in your later comment. My main argument is not really efficiency, although economists do usually tend to think that these kinds of emission auction systems do shine in department too. Efficiency and pain (aka fairness) are often in opposing cups of the scale.
