With data from 2020 the comparison would be unfair and even worse, look e.g. at chart 2 in [1] about how transportation emissions changed in recent years. I can't find good worldwide numbers newer than 2016, but my statement should have plenty of margin to hold for a couple of years after 2016.

> That amount of percentage change is rather low for the disproportionate impact it would have

That's the neat thing about artificial meat (what this whole thread was about): at its best it promises to slash the need for livestock without requiring any change in consumer behavior. The consumer shouldn't even notice that it's not real meat they are eating.

Of course there's impact on farmers, but that's no different from the petroleum industry being harmed from the move to EVs.

Your usage is different than mine: I have a 18TB disk in my desktop tower so all my data is always available and have a second tower with 10x2TB disks in raid 6 for backups (all my old disks).

I switch on the second tower once a week and rsync everything from my desktop.

I don't have a solution if both fail at the same time but the probability of it happening is low enough that I accept the risk.

Ideally I would need a third backup rig somewhere outside my house, but I can't afford this level of safety.
Asimov's first real published story was in 1939 (his high school "published" a story earlier).

The Foundation stories were written in 1941-1950. In 1951 Asimov stopped writing fiction for thirty years.

So it's not "early Asimov" by any means.

When he came back to write Foundation sequels his characters and dialog hadn't improved.

Asimov was always an author only of ideas. His best dialog was the terrible and deliberately corny dialog in the Azazel fantasy-comedy stories, very much done in imitation of P.G. Wodehouse's cleverer banter.

Excerpt from one of the 80's foundation books:

“Is not all this an extraordinary concatenation of coincidence ?” Pelorat said, “If you list it like that.”

“List it any way you please,” said Trevize. “I don’t believe in extraordinary concatenations of coincidence.”

Cringe.

That's not true, especially considering they took down the site as soon as it was noticed it was publicly facing.

If a company misconfigures a VPN and you're able to access an internal tool that would not be otherwise available to the public, but uses GPL code, that would not entitle you to the sources. Especially if the company immediately fixed the issue of the public having access to said internal tool, any reasonable court would side with them.

If the site re-launches without fixing the issue, though, that is a very different story.

They seem to be flipping the houses fast and hard around my neighborhood. One of my favorite things to do is walk around with the dog and see houses go up for sale. Lately, I noticed houses sold only to be relisted by Zillow like 30 days later at $50k+ the original price. And they actually seem to be able to sell them that high. My house is currently worth 3x what I paid for it back in summer of 2013.

rsync over ssh works perfectly (i.e. with the rsync option --rsh="ssh").

Not only it works much faster than scp or sftp, but it also does not lose any file metadata.

I have not verified if newer ssh versions have corrected this, but a few years ago scp and sftp failed to copy extended attributes and on some file systems they truncated timestamps.
Just remember that Mozilla gets over 90% of its revenue from Google.

https://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html

In 2018 Mitchell Baker (Mozilla CEO) received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008. On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salary she stated "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to."

By 2020 her salary had risen to over $3 million, while in the same year the Mozilla Corporation had to lay off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues. Baker blamed this on the Coronavirus pandemic.

I disagree, on video chat, telephone, AND car usage. Some folks (often (although certainly not always) older with a lower tolerance for UI changes) just don't use them very often.

My mother, for example, still prefers correspondence via snail mail. She has learned to tolerate FaceTime, but Zoom is always a bit of a hassle and requires a separate phone-call to her landline to help her walk through the steps to get connected. I don't think she's unusual. It's a big world, with lots of kinds of people in it.

It might not be ideal for you, but you can always use escape codes in your string literals so it is at least possible to avoid all non-ascii characters in your code.
Excellent example. My first thought when I hear the word "camera" is a bunch of sensors on the back of my phone... so maybe sands will shift again, and we'll have "dedicated camera".
The backing of stable coins is not an issue. The real issue is:

1) Anyone can send a stablecoin to anyone without any permission. People do it currently at a large scale. That is not acceptable to the governments because it takes a crucial element of control away from them.

2) Unlike bitcoin, all stable coins have a single point of failure - a bank account that holds funds can be frozen, a CEO of a company can be arrested.

That's why all centralized stable coins will be decommissioned sooner or later.

As an example, from "Water footprint of crop and animal products: a comparison" [0]...

Litre per kilogram - vegetables: 322, bovine meat: 15415 (47x more water required for meat)
Litre per kilocalorie - vegetables: 1.34, bovine meat: 10.19 (7.6x more water required for meat)
Litre per gram of protein - vegetables: 26, bovine meat: 112 (4.3x more water required for meat)
Litre per gram of fat - vegetables: 154, bovine meat: 153 (1.006535948x more water required for vegetables)

It seems that with respect to water consumption bovine meat requires, in a way the particularly concerning word is often used, exponentially more for similar output - in most (3 out of 4) cases described by the article.

I remember when we got a fancy TV with a…wired…remote.

It was amazing.

Of course the wire was about 2 feet too short. So it was still my job to sit on the floor and in the middle of the room to be the “wireless” portion of the remote. But still, was so much better than having to walk up every 5 minutes (my dad loved making me flip channels during commercials, even though often commercials were often synced between abc, nbc, and cbs). But then came PBS

I've been using Debian for both server and desktop work for years (wow, actually decades) now. I like that I don't have to fiddle with it. Once set up, it just works well, basically forever. No fear of running apt-get dist-upgrade and having to shave yaks for an afternoon getting everything working again. I have no need to live on the bleeding edge of every package update, and not a big fan of some of the choices made by Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions, so Debian is perfect for me. I didn't even know Drama among the project maintainers existed, so they seem to have managed to keep personnel issues out of the actual software distribution, which is also a bonus.
They deprecated the "brew cask install" then completely removed it only ~20 days later (in late December!), breaking many other projects in the process.

I'm a bit wary on relying on it now. It's a shame, because it's a really useful tool (and I actually like the auto-update).

There's a huge difference between tidying an apartment and hiding your real opinion, especially when your real opinion fundamentally runs in opposition to my morals.

This is more like having kidnapped people in your house and hiding them so when someone comes over for dinner, no one can see them. I'm not morally opposed to a cluttered counter.

My old Pixel 2 still worked very well, the only reason I upgraded was I use my phone for business and the lack of security upgrades on the old phone forced me to get the new one.

Firefox may not be perfect, but I'm glad they exist and are making continuous improvements.

That was the line from the small fraction of boot licking legalization advocates, wanting to make a Faustian bargain with the state.

Well you'd better not make that too apparent and instead let the overly egotistical doctor think they've figured it out all by themselves - lest they instead decide that you're engaging in "drug seeking behavior".

If you can accept technology changes over time (goodbye horse and carriage), and that society changes over time (hello LGBTQI rights), why is it unreasonable to accept the price you pay for goods will change? Naturally, its a given that's not the only change. The materials to build have changed, transporting them has changed, wages have changed. Prices are not going to be the same.
> I believe the enforcement is federal (ATF).

It is not. The Feds, if they legalized could put federal enforcement there, or somewhere else.

In California, enforcement is in the Department of Cannabis Control.

> ATF also has some pretty sweeping powers that may be tough to replicate (legally) on a state by state basis.

Because the federal government is mote Constitutionally restrained than state governments and has a Constitution that is more difficult to change, its much easier to create state agencies with sweeping powers (within the state) than federal ones.

My biggest problem is that it's not version-controlled. I don't use home-manager, and (still) haven't looked into Nix flakes.

Instead, I put `export PATH="/path/to/my/repo/result/bin:$PATH"` in my ~/.bashrc, and inside that repo I have a default.nix file:

buildEnv {
name = "my-packages";
paths = [ foo bar baz ... ];
}

Running `nix-build` will update the result/bin symlink to point at the new applications.

I letande 3d modeling on an SGI O2 back in the late '90s, and subsequently also got started with programming on it. I still remember the joy and rush when my programs compiled successfully, and then half the time wondering how the heck they would build in the first place. Not much has changed since. ;o)

I still have that O2, it's packed up in its original box in my apartment. I also have two of those old SGI flat panel displays, which was pretty amazing back then when flat panels where basically unheard of. I think one of them is broken though, sadly.

I've been meaning to boot it back into action, to see if any of my old "art" is still on there. If it even starts, that is.

Just wondering, what is the benefit of doing this over nix-env for system-wide applications?

For project specific environments, I usually use `shell.nix` (maybe I should switch to flakes now) together with direnv that runs nix-shell automatically when you enter the directory.

For beginners to Nix, I think they should do the transition gradually, there are so many concepts in Nix that may be unfamiliar to them. I think getting a system to work quickly (maybe in a not so idiomatic way) is more encouraging than asking them to read Nix Pills and understand how packaging works in Nix :)
OP here, thanks for clarifying this - I can imagine it's a super complex problem and I truly appreciate all the work that you (and other contributors) have put into this project.

My only point (and a source of confusion) here is that I never anticipated the cascading effect that installing a single package can have on seemingly unrelated parts of the system. I've been using homebrew for many years and as far as I remember, the only time anything broke like this was when I explicitly ran update/upgrade.

I'm going to try HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_UPGRADE/HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE — it does seem like a more intuitive default, but again, I don't know anything about how homebrew works under the hood.

Thanks again!
This is true, but it's important to consider also things which might artificially constrain supply, such as laws that make it harder to build housing or policy which incentivizes buying homes as an investment. A commonly repeated statistic, there are more empty homes than there are homeless persons in the US (around 17 million empty homes vs. around 600,000 homeless).
