Yeah, but its thinking of things I'm likely to enjoy that I may not even be aware of are options and researching the options for that activity and which providers are worthwhile that makes it time consuming. Some people enjoy that aspect. I don't.

But that's the idea behind the biomass burning.

If you just burn all the forests an be done with it it's a bad idea. But if you replant the forests with fast growing species you can cut them down every 5-10 years and have a lot of biomass to burn in basically a closed cycle.

> We cannot just allow all resources to be owned by organizations or people with no willingness to use them.

Should we allow people to use resources really, really slowly? Like can you buy natural gas wells and instead of capping them (an expensive operation required by regulation when you're done) just extract a tiny amount of gas? The story in https://www.bloomberg.com/features/diversified-energy-natura... was fascinating because it's not clear that that company has done anything illegal, just found a very profitable niche.

the hard part is that currently electrical to optical conversions take a fair amount of space which would make them hard to do on CPU. it might be practical for storage to ram though, which would be really cool.

How do you measure whether these investment vehicles are having the desired effect? I think folks were generally not thrilled about driving a train full of biofuel back and forth between the US and Canadian border even though it apparently generated a very profitable amount of renewable identification number credits ( https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/biofuel-credits-behind-myster... ).
They benefited hugely from this and I have to this day not seen a public commitment to change things to make sure this does not happen. Even if Amazon was unaware of what they were doing, the fact that afterwards they mostly just papered over it and went on with their lives lends it a tacit approval ("don't get caught again"). If you don't see how this makes them evil, I think we just will never agree on it :)

That's because Google remains Alphabet's most used product. I've theorized for years that Facebook massively benefits from all the negative coverage because Facebook itself isn't that popular anymore.

I would guess that if you were to split up FB into FB business pages, FB personal pages, Instagram, and Whatsapp, that FB personal pages would be the lowest-used product by a sizeable margin. If they rebrand along those lines, I'm guessing they could convince the public of that as well and lawmakers wouldn't be able to get their grubby regulating hands on it.

seems like you've made up your mind so doesn't make sense to engage, but if anybody else comes across this comment - it's pretty much tribalistic bs. lightning network works, it's a system that preserves Bitcoin's security guarantees while decoupling value transfers from onchain settlements. this is how you scale global distributed systems - you localize them into lots of smaller systems that can change state independently in a consistent manner.
True, but if you mean borrowing against them, then you risk getting margin called and having a forced sale at a far worse price.

I’m not sure you’re demonstrating any appreciable sense of objectivity here.

Hackers was an absolute joke of a movie; an exaggerated snapshot of ridiculous, misinformed 1990s pop culture thinking on technology.

Ready Player One is pop culture fan service, played out amidst a dystopian corporate future. It’s not even really trying to discuss technology at all.

> Does that $65K represent a trade against USD or a trade against Tether?

A fair question to ask, but there are quite a few places where BTC can be traded against actual cold hard cash and not monopoly money (insofar as you consider USD not monopoly money, a shaky proposition in itself).

So yes, USD, not Tether.
In long term it should replace other forms of money and assets that are used for storing value. Demand stops growing when everyone uses it, and the value will stabilize.

This is true on the scale of decades, but the problem with climate change is we don't need carbon neutrality for O(50 years). We need carbon neutrality today.

Yes maybe those forests would eventually release carbon in 2050 is all well and good, but very likely we'll have total clean tech solutions by then anyway. In contrast we only have a short window to reduce atmospheric carbon substantially to prevent significant warming by the end of the century. To the extent possible if we can keep carbon sequestered today and pay by having it released in 30 years that's a very good deal. Because it stops the runaway warming today, and it gives us three decades of investment to start sequestering atmospheric carbon.

This is very controversial, but as long as someone accepts that Bitcoin is better money than fiat currencies (which I believe) with a 2x/year adoption rate (right now it’s hundreds of millions of people), fiat currencies will hyperinflate in 2030.

The lack of focus at Facebook is reminding me of Yahoo and AOL and their gradual refusal to evolve their core product, instead expanding into a multitude of side-products, and slowly moving out of relevance.

This alarmism (or optimism) hardly ever pays off, but I wonder what the social media landscape and accompanying 'metaverse' will look like ten years from now, and how Facebook will fit into it, if at all.
I never expect to hold zero Bitcoin, but I do plan on selling some in 2022 just to rebalance into other investments / reduce risk exposure.

Not to derail the topic at hand, but it was the Segway that proved the concept of dynamic stabilization, which in turn led to drones, bipedal robots, SpaceX’s reentry boosters, and much much more.

Disagree. If anything else there are more roadblocks setup to protect wealthy individuals. Even talking about raising their taxes marginally causes what can be charitably described as an institutional freak out.

Perhaps related, but after ~10 years or so of experience working as a software developer I tend to value the following:

- I care much more about modularity and clear boundaries between systems than about code quality within individual systems

I know modularity and code quality may be related, but most of the time we can clearly distinguish them. I don't care much about variable naming, abstract classes vs interfaces, functional programming patterns, SOLID, DDD... as long as we are talking about a system (or module) that is contained and has well defined boundaries to the outside world (or to other systems/modules). Yeah, I know, DDD should touch on the topic about clear boundaries and the like, but in my experience people use DDD as an excuse to introduce CQRS, event buses, a huge myriad of directory layers...

The typical example is the monolith that is developed early on in a startup: it has no boundaries, no clear scope, but every engineer cares deeply about "hey, you should not use inheritance there! Let's use interfaces instead", "uh, that variable name doesn't look right", "oh, that's not restful enough", etc., ... but everybody ignores the elephant in the room that is going to cost the company a fortune (if they survive long enough): no modularity at all.

Give me any day of the week N modular systems with clear interfaces (but written poorly inside) over 1 monolith that has no clear boundaries but follows whatever is newest in Fowler's blog.

Furthermore, interactive zsh totally breaks vim-like input mode.

I'm not surprised at all. Good/bad, un/readable code can be produced in any language. Ruby fans crowed about its beauty then created incomprehensible DSLs of awkward Yoda code. But norms and values do differ between language communities, and APL is not exactly noted for a strict emphasis on readability.

> Every team needs a therapist, it would seem.

I have really come to appreciate the need for regular retros on a team. That a team needs a very safe space to explore failures and difficulties. It helps to have someone who can facilitate, but cam be successful without. It should be long enough to feel slighty awkward, so that people have time to articulate thoughts, and there should be no manager for at least half an hour, so that grievances about them can be aired.

I’ve seen teams really come together and vastly improve with regular safe meetings. I’ve also seen teams start to fall apart when the retro format changed to make it harder to delve into some of the emotional parts.

The Segway in some ways succeeded, but it came in the form of electric scooters and EUCs. The thesis was right - personal electric vehicles - but you can’t rebuild cities.

It is not a useful analogy in any case, for a variety of reasons. The question you need to be asking is if video games will be able to break into reality once a certain level of capability and UX is met. You may be too old: AR may be a young person’s reality.
Old versions get deprecated in libraries, you don’t just cut over to a new way and break your callers on upgrade.

If you own all the callers of your api in the same repo, you probably don’t want this, you just replace all the old callers along with the implementation.

Looking at individuals adds detail and concreteness that makes it difficult to hate on or criticise. Bezos, Musk, Gates, even Thiel etc are just as human as we are. We could have done the things they did, but we didn't. Our children could do they things they did. They may be arrogant, unethical, they might jump through loopholes, etc, but they're just like us in that way too. We do the same on smaller scales.

Looking at a group removes the humanity from what we're looking at, makes it abstract. And abstractions are easy to hate. They don't exist in reality, they are not a reflection of ourselves. It's very easy to hate or throw stones at an abstraction.

It's possible to hate the abstraction and love the people in the abstraction at the same time. This is not self-contradictory.
The idea would be to add first class support for it in the OS. Your ISP DHCP could add an addtional option specifying your upstream ISP address as well as your local address for example.
