I'm not sure the Paris agreement optimises for "far cheaper" but for a maximum temperature increase instead. The consumer can't be expected to individually take one for the team (as it is presumably cheaper in the long run to not deal with a globally failing ecosystem) so through legislation and incentives we'd transition to clean energy, not necessarily by making something cheaper.

Of course, where possible the solution is to just use batteries, but try telling frequent fliers that they'll need to take a train in the future. We're going to need some synthetic fuels where energy density is paramount.

> True friendship comes mostly from shared struggle. Think sports teams, military, small teams at work, even childhood friends and the experience growing up.

Have two "forever" friendships over 20 years, where we talk almost every day & have been around for good & bad in each other's lives, even though on different continents for past 12 years.

You have to believe me when I profess that such friendships are 'forged over blood, sweat, rum and tears'.
I'm 58, female, never married, no kids. I'm not raising the next generation but my coworkers with kids are. I want to be supportive of a group of people who have chosen to do something - and someone has to do it - I have chosen not to do. If I stay late at work to finish a project and my coworker with kids leaves to pick up her kids, why is that a problem? When child-free workers fail to understand their responsibility - paying taxes for public schools, supporting parental leave, staying late so a parent can pick up their kid - in helping to ensure that children have parents who are available to them, they fail to understand the role we all need to play in creating and nurturing a community. I would make the same argument for coworkers caring for aging parents.
Interesting, but not surprising.

So what you’re saying is that actually, you are perfectly fine with imposing completely arbitrary rules unto others, that restrict their liberties, with the only justification being ‘because I say so’. You’re perfectly happy with restricting other people’s lives, even though it does not even affect you whatsoever.

But, if the rules now somehow affect you instead, even if the justification is “this is safe for surgeons, and current data suggest that we can safe hundreds of thousands of lives (and we could have, the US are by far the country with the most COVID cases and deaths)” this is now somehow authoritarian? More authoritarian than a completely arbitrary rule? Even though this massively impacts other people’s health?

You may want to read up on which opinion is actually closer to what the Nazis did.
We're in the baby years of social media. I have some hope that humanity will figure some it out.

I also have a great deal of dread that we will not. We are not guaranteed to have nice things, and a few bad actors can do quite a lot of harm.
I am 100% okay with this. YouTube has no obligation to be a champion of free speech. And promoting anything other than getting vaccinated, distancing and wearing masks where appropriate lead to unnecessary covid deaths. So... the math adds up for me -- take down content that needlessly leads to death.
I previously lived next to a cement plant, actually, in Brooklyn - the Ferrara Brothers one, now shut down. It was literally adjacent to my apartment, out the back window. And you know what? I didn’t mind one bit. I really loved that neighborhood.
You can have a little park between grocery stores and houses. I live in a neighborhood like this and have all necessary amenities in 5-10 minutes of walk.
I don’t believe in a free Internet because I don’t think a good Internet can be free. I wish I could subscribe to Instagram if it meant all the crap ads would disappear. But I also don’t respect firewalls because I’m a hypocrite. I do try to mitigate this by funding sites online that could use the money, like Wikipedia way back when, or some blogs/newsletters
in a closed system, at some point the containers stuck in the US would become valuable enough in china that the ships would prioritize shipping them back, yes. but it's not a closed system, the chinese are building new shipping containers as fast as they can, and every new container they build lessens the demand for those containers stuck in the US.

Critical mass events are incredibly disruptive and are an offensively aggressive act to those who are just trying to go about their day and use the infrastructure for its funded intent - which is to say, cars and other motorized vehicles that move at higher speeds. It’s one thing to advocate for changes through proper political channels. It’s another thing entirely to hijack infrastructure, clog intersections by circling up, and violently harass drivers (what I’ve seen in SF). That’s not a protest, but a riot, and participants should be arrested and charged.
Yeah, basically there's only one solution to the CO2 problem that's also the solution with the least political will to push it through: deindustrialization.

Everything else relies on miracles and/or unobtainium.

> A carbon tax is essentially going to hit the average person hard.

I think that is just an excuse to not make changes that are necessary. Saying that something will hit the poor/average person/working family is an argument about wealth/cost distribution, which is separate from the actual problem.

When we, as humanity, have the natural resources, the technology and the labor required to do something that is objectively necessary, the only thing that can stand in the way is cost/wealth distribution: who gets to pay the bill.

So when objectively necessary changes do not happen, the only possible reason for that is that maintaining wealth/power are more important than suffering the consequences of not implementing the change.

Although I sympathize with this line of thought, remember that we’re all uninitiated by the standards of a few decades ago. The time was when you were uninitiated if you couldn’t hand assemble your programs to a series of hex digits. Indeed, I own a copy of a book aimed at children that teaches you how to do just that for the BBC Micro and ZX Spectrum. (The publisher released it as a free PDF if anyone is curious: https://yurichev.com/mirrors/machine-code-for-beginners.pdf)
Average US driver goes 13.5kmi/year. This is about 36mi/ day. Most cars will get 2-4 mi/kWh, so this is about 12kWh/day. Average charging of like 8 hours gives about 1.5 kW over night. This isn't nothing, but it's a bunch less than people think about. I was regularly driving off of what a standard 120v socket would supply. (Not right now, because I can no longer charge overnight, due to a recall)

Also grid power can become more green if more green sources come online, but your gas powered car will always be gas powered.
Car pollute, are extremely dangerous to other road users, and take a lot of space on the road. Cars in city should be the exception, not the rule.
While I understand the concern with curl | bash, this method is used in many different open source product installations. The sh file is coming from github - pretty trustful source. You can always watch it in the browser (github will not trick you into different version) but you can also curl it or just download the source from the repository (just half a page above).
You can also always review and rebuild the entire tool - another beauty of the open source.
But most people just want to use the tool as fast and as simple as it can be. I guess there are options for any possible taste.

That cuts both ways; why should somebody be allowed to induce a negative impact on property that they are not paying for?
Zoning is not the same as regulation. We shouldn’t be spewing carcinogenic PCBs anywhere.

Gigantic factories don’t want to be on small residential streets anyway because they cant fit the trucks in, so I think that argument cuts the other way - there are natural forces that deter that stuff.
There is also an android port of this app. It is pay to play but you can easily copy over presets from the original source and aftermarket presets. I run it on my android headunit which brings back the nostalgia of 90s aftermarket stereos with a simple visualization that plays on loop (except this one is interactive and fills a 9" touch screen :D)
Two thoughts.
(1) Wrangling YAML is still coding; you’re using the API for a software system it’s just exposed in declarative YAML. I suspect your definition of coding may be a bit narrower than mine, which is fine.

(2) I can’t help but thank of “no-code” solutions. They work great if you’re using the platform how the developers thought you would. However; beware when you start to improv/hack things around because you’ll find little support and extension points.

All this said I do agree with the sentiment that there are tool builders and tool users, and the tool user shouldn’t always be expected to know how to build tools.

You said, and I quote:
“GPS, moon landings, space stations, space shuttles, and most of the rest of the history of space are hardly status quo solutions! It's not like space has been stuck, waiting for Elon Musk to save the day.”

But again, that’s precisely what happened. There was a decades-long, post-Cold-War stagnation in the government-led space industry (to the extent that NASA used a higher inflation rate to calculate aerospace project costs… ie aerospace technology was becoming MORE expensive over time for the same capability), particularly for launch technology (commercial launch was fleeing the US and going to cheaper foreign launchers like Russia), and it was SpaceX who ultimately broke the impasse and proved reusable launch was feasible. It is a huge impact, too. Consider SLS or, more to the point, the reference HLS lander versus Starship, which was selected for NASA’s commercial HLS bid. Starship is approximately 10 times larger in capability than the reference design or Apollo. NASA literally couldn’t afford any other option for Artemis to meet the 2024 landing goal.

SLS vs Starship is a very illustrative comparison of what a single, monolithic, government-led solution vs a more competitive, commercial led solution is.

(And government vs commercial ISN’T a good framing, here. NASA has been super important in commercialization of this stuff by fostering competition, serving as an anchor customer for new entrants, and providing valuable insight and consultation. And even in the Soviet era, there was competition between firms in the Soviet launch sector… single, monolithic solutions are just not a very efficient approach…).
Sure, the thing is that it started as civic movement aimed at 'reclaiming' the streets from cars, which was very similar to what OP posted.

Eventually it got quite large, i.e. thousands of people on each gathering, and it became some sort of peaceful rally that happened every week. In the end, the govt. had no choice but to concede them certain things like ciclovías, cycling roads, legislation, etc.

I lived in the city for a while and let me tell you, it is AMAZING to have all that much space just for walking around, talking, having coffee, whatever, even if it's only for one day a week.

I want to emphasize on the scale and impact of said project, it is ~30 km of roads that are completely closed for cars for the whole day. The roads that close are (check this out!) the most important ones, running through the middle of the city. At the beginning, people were worried that this would have some negative effect as, you know, the main roads would be completely closed; but today, a decade later, there have been zero negative consequences for that. Most people that live nearby just run their errands walking because they know they can't use their car anyway. Cars are not as important as people seem to believe and I would argue that they're more harmful as a whole than if they weren't there at all.

I am super thrilled about projects like -> https://culdesac.com/, hopefully I can retire to a place like that.
Ah, that is interesting. I admit that I was unaware that so many of Microsoft’s extensions were proprietary.

You're misinterpreting the word "news" in the name to mean the same thing as journalism / news reporting, which HN plainly is not. It's a place where readers post and discuss links they find interesting. Sometimes those are articles from news publications, sometimes they're blog posts, sometimes they're a lot of things. HN is a conversation place—an online watercooler, basically. That's not a journalistic operation. If anything it's more of an entertainment site.

There's certainly a conversation to be had about how we manage YC's interests vis-à-vis community interests—I've discussed that with many users over the years [1, 2], the principles have been well-established for a long time, and I'm always happy to explain more. But not on the basis of a giant non sequitur!

If a developer is stupid to overbuild, then let them take that risk and that loss. We don't have to zone away risk. As for money laundering, you're using an example of one Trump Tower out of millions of apartments buildings to say it's "more likely" that every apartment building built is just used for money laundering. That's just silly.

As for structural safety, no one is arguing to reduce building codes or safety regulations so that's just a straw man argument. If an apartment building is built unsafe then the government should have done a better job inspecting and enforcing/expanding their regulations, it's not really an argument to not build.
What I would like to know is how it ever got to this breaking point? Is there no planning for such cases or continuous optimization? Or were plans presented to the government which just sat on it until it was too late?
I interpreted the comment to be about the number of customers in a store as opposed to stock levels. Anecdotally, Traders Joes does seem to have a higher base level of customers at any given time. However, I readily acknowledge that perception may be to their relatively smaller footprints and reduced operating hours.
The UK’s planning system is very slow, unpredictable and inefficient. It also is not great at preventing suburban sprawl either. Probably Spain, the Netherlands or Japan would be more interesting to look at.

Assaulting Asian people isn't incompatible with an explicit whitehouse policy initiative and in that example the artist wasn't wearing an "impeach biden" shirt.

Edit: People keep responding to this comment claiming that the video didn't feature an impeach biden shirt, then deleting their comments when they realized what they saw was a video using the same name exploiting the fact that the real video is hidden. :) If you feel the urge to make that reply, instead just update this counter instead:
IIRC Overwatch has a setting that attempts to delay work on a frame until the last possible moment to reduce latency.

Edit: I noticed that the thread about the previous article also mentions Overwatch, although only its audio. Curiously, it doesn't mention the huge audio latency (around 150ms) Overwatch has. It even got some comments from top Quake (I think) players at the time. They might have fixed it since then, I haven't played much in the last few years.

Somewhat related, but more to do with motion blur:
If one has more control over the hardware, it might be interesting to take a look at emulating arcade style beam racing. Blurbusters has some articles and threads about this. ZisWorks used to sell a prototype display that had a strobing backlight with progressive refresh -- the display would refresh with the backlight off, then, once a quarter of the frame was displayed, the backlight in that quarter of the display would turn on briefly.

Black frame insertion is another interesting technique, used with console emulators and high refresh rate displays. This is also used in Sharp's flagship phones -- the ones that supposedly have 240Hz refresh rates, it's actually just 120Hz with black frame insertion.

I'm not against abstraction in principal, but in my opinion it should be intentional and measured.

Progress isn't only about building and endlessly taller stack of abstractions such that we eventually can't see the computer underneath. Sometimes it's about looking at the stack we have, and building a smaller and smarter one based on the lessons we learned along the way.
For clarity, which of the following are you saying is a horseman / precondition for dystopia:

A) Social injustices and systematic oppression of marginalized groups.

B) The cultural and media emphasis on these injustices in attempt to dismantle systematic oppression.
