Yes but notice how there is no follow-on and no one else mentions WebVR or WebXR. This community is consistently disappointing in its technical judgement. Other places online are often even worse. But its surprising considering the background of most people on here.

People are sheep. When they see A-Frame or WebXR being touted by their friends, they will acknowledge it and try to build off of it. But more likely is they will let Facebook use their dominant position and takeover. Then they will claim there was never any alternative they could have built off of.

Predictions for the Future of NFTs, the Creator Economy, & User Generated Gaming
New YouTube series from the Browser related to bets about the future.

Sebastian Park places three bets:

1: The future of NFTs: No more than 2 of the top 50 NFT projects on OpenSea.io will still be there in October 2023 (Last 30 day trading volume)

2: The future of the Creator Economy. If you look at the top 10 web3 companies in 2023, less than 30% of the value will come platform companies.

3: The future of UGC gaming. By 2030, we will see the same fragmentation in gaming that we do in video. More hours of playtime for top UGC game platform more than the top studio game.
0.00000001% of the global population is less than one person.

Which is kind of the issue, we need a significant fraction of the global workforce to solve climate change. Inefficiency is useless because we lack the economic capacity to solve climate change inefficiently.
I assume they aren't breaking any laws and probably not the only company doing this? It's still a bit creepy. I'm sure at least a few of you are friends with some of the more notable stand-up comedians. I assume Joe Rogan / Jamie Vernon would find the topic interesting to discuss.

Could they instead target the parents of 6-year-olds? Parents should in theory have a better ability to make informed decisions.
> Most Christians believe that

Do you have any sort of statistics to back this up? A survey of some kind? From my own experience, most people who are Christian subscribe to the lifestyle and teachings, but do not accept 100% of the bible as truth.
I don't see how this won't pass. It's the EU. In the minds of many people the EU can do no wrong. And if they do something wrong it's okay and a small thing. And if it's not a small thing then you're just a conspiracy theorist that hates democracy.

In the past the EU passed a directive that required all ISPs to save what websites you visited. This was overturned years later, but it seems now they're trying again through a different angle.

65% of China's energy production is from coal. They're probably even less likely to have the political ability to meet these goals, given how much of the country's infrastructure relies on coal for basic functioning (like even home heating).
I the book "Collapse", it gives a survey of dozens of civilizations tackling problems like this and how they did, or didn't, solve them. There are many cases each of market or grassroots based solutions and top down government based solutions.

My conclusion from this empirical evidence is that there are many ways to arrive at solutions, what is important is that someone makes it happen. Anyone claiming that only government, or only free markets can do it, is probably wrong.

I work with an office closer to the equator; they don't observe DST ever, as there is no reason for them to do so.

So the offset between us changes twice a year.

I doubt you'll get the world to agree on no DST, though.
I do too, but I think that “empty promises” empower them. I also agree with Andrew Sullivan (https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/how-to-turn-the-gop-gr...) that conservatives could be persuaded to support climate initiatives if we on the left allow ourselves to prioritize climate above our own tribalism tendencies (those who would reply, “But conservatives aren’t prioritizing climate over tribalism” are missing the point entirely).
Even worse, most of these "commitments" are for after the politician's death. Xi Jingping isn't particularly old for a politician with his 68 years, but by the time 2060 rolls around he would be 107 years old.
> Even before investigations revealed that the company’s products were destroying teens’ mental health

This is tangential, but are we all just credulously swallowing this claim now? What's next, casual references to the obviously-stolen 2020 election? The Facebook study claimed nothing close to "destroying teens' mental health"; it didn't even show net harm! The topline claims were something like 30% of teens self-reporting that use made them feel worse... With 30% reporting no change and 30% reporting it made them feel better. That's ignoring the multiple other problems with the interpretations of the study that are floating around:

1) intentionally unrepresentative sample and minuscule sample size

2) self-reporting, which decades of higher-quality research has shown is not correlated with harm when it comes to the relationship between teens and media use (high-quality studies have so far shown a minimal relationship between phone/social media use and any objective measure of teen mental health)

3) other larger studies are even more positive than Facebook's internal study, showing almost 3x as many teens claiming an improvement in mental health from social media than a decline[1]

I know we're in a post-truth world, but it's a really jarring reminder how universally the rot has spread that this is an Ars Technica article posted on HN, both entities that I once considered to at least display a _pretense_ of intellectual honesty.

The weirdest part about all of this is that I hold and have always held a very low opinion of Facebook, and think their amoral reputation is fully deserved. It's just a more strongly-held belief that it's insane to barrel full-speed towards destroying any sense that we all live in the same reality. It's no more defensible when Ars+HN does it than when a QAnon Facebook group does.

We've already had 1.5C of that 3C increase, which mostly happened over 80 of the last 140 years. I'm not sure that saying "we're about to have the same amount of warming we just had for the last few generations" is a real rallying cry to action.

Maybe stop playing shell games with numbers and dates and just stick with what the IPCC says are the 2100 predictions. They're serious enough and don't make you look manipulative and untrustworthy.
Facebook should first understand that a lot of kids avoid Facebook specifically because their parents are on it. No kid wants mom & dad to read everything they write online.

TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram are all the rage among kids, and those apps are like the Wild West compared to Facebook and Twitter. TikTok is the fastest-growing app of them all, and the company don't seem to care at all what kids post online, who views the content, or whether kids are being harmed.

No, the politicians expect to be out of office or dead by the time their commitments either come to pass or (more likely) it becomes clear those commitments will never work.

It's a shell game to them, and they have exit plans.
The biggest problem with global warming is that it's such a stupid term. Global warming is only a small portion of a bunch of different kinds of abuse we put the planet through.

Plastics, destruction of the ocean plankton, topsoil etc. have all conveniently been put into a single term called global warming, which is just one symptom of many things.

As a result we still have these discussions whether global warming exists or not, when it's really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's okay. There aren't many people out there celebrating the fact that nutritional equivalent of sugar and sawdust is marketed and sold to children who don't understand the impact of nutrition on their health and well-being. There are plenty of people and groups that are against advertising to children, and who are against the proliferation of junk food.

That's great for you! That doesn't really have any bearing on the documented reality of republican disenfranchisement of voters.

Sometimes 'common media talking points' are talking points because a real and serious problem exists. There's plenty of evidence of the problem if you want to take the time to get educated on it.

republicans ARE out to destroy the right to vote. They are actively anti-democracy to the point of spreading outright lies about the 2020 Presidential election and attempting to overthrow the democratically elected candidate for US President. This really isn't a 'both sides' thing.

When you have to pretend that both sides are bad so as to appear fair, we call that 'enlightened centrism'. republicans represent a minority of Americans. They'd never have power again if we had fair democratic elections. Democrats represent the majority of Americans. They benefit greatly from fair democratic elections. It's just that simple.
Isn’t that different than ending DST? You’re proposing something entirely different…
What law have they broken that they should be punished under?

It just looks bad.

Doing things just because the law allows it is a sign of low-grade thinking. It's why big companies hire /and listen to/ external PR firms.
> I would think that the poor have no cash… that's why they're called "poor" after all.

They have contracts denominated in cash—for example, their wages from employment. That's where inflation tends to hurt the most since wages tend to trail behind inflation (or deflation). And of course being "poor" doesn't imply that you literally have zero savings, though you probably don't have enough to be worth the hassle and expense of a brokerage account to invest in stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds. For small amounts the transaction fees alone would be more than the gains.

Regarding the article you cited, it occurs to me that the authors never mentioned how long any given household remains in a particular category. If I took a year-long sabbatical from work, for example, then I would end up in that "lowest 20%" group with zero income while I lived off my savings, but that doesn't mean I'm experiencing any kind of financial difficulty. The same goes for students still receiving support from their parents, or for anyone who is retired and living off of a lifetime's worth of investments (though probably not pre-tax 401(k)/IRA, depending on the study methodology, since these distributions are generally considered "income" for tax purposes). "Lowest 20% by income" is not a fixed group. This is apparent simply from the fact that expenses cannot exceed income indefinitely; eventually you must either increase your income, at which point you are no longer counted in that statistic, or else decrease your expenses. But the idea of a shifting group of households which temporarily earn less than they spend paints a very different picture than the one the article implies.
I would expect the impact to be the way in which it would shape conversations afterwards by serving as a cultural touchpoint. Much like 1984 does.

I'd really like to simply reference a classic movie or book as a conversation ender every time this shit cropped up rather than explain abstract risks from scratch in a less than engaging fashion.

Anyway. This isnt a problem I can solve.
One of the things that is most worrying about global warming to me is what a 3C increase on a planetary scale means for the very nature of the reality we experience. What impact will all that energy / entropy have on the probability distribution of possible events and states of our world? Will reality become less predictable?
Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems to me that confining yourself to civil judgement via private arbitration removes your rights.
> Would you apply the same language to any other company that markets to kids?

Yes, I would.
Castro is named after José Castro, a governor of Alta California and Baja California; and a general.
These one-sided apocalyptical type of content are useless:

- They are porn for people who are already believer in global warming, and show more material to say "look that what I said will happen" without doing changing anything in their daily lives.

- They are maybe right but display a false negative picture of what is going to happen for people who tend to deny global warming.

The reality is we don't know what is going to happen, that's things we can't predict. So stop be sure about things, accept nuance.

EDIT: I'm not saying we are powerless or don't know at all what is going to happen. We have a feeling of what is going to happen (temperature increase, sea level increase and other things) but we cannot accurately predict what, when and how this is going to happen
Billionaire Munger responds to criticism of his mostly windowless mega-dorm
The ability of the partisan brain to consistently be outraged by the perceived foul play of the other side, while never bothering to check how one's own side is measuring up, is a fascinating phenomenon.

This is really easy to sanity check. For example CA, the best known blue state in the nation. 2020 elections, 79% of the Congressional delegation is D, while only (edit) 66% of the popular vote went for (edit) Ds.

But, but, but, the other guys are even worse than us. We won't stand for truth, fairness or justice, obviously the correct course of action is to out-foul them whenever we can. And then we wonder why the country is on the brink of an ugly divorce.
With enough studies, any narrative can be constructed and supported.

Only with access to all study results can one get an objective viewpoint.

That's the seduction of industry-funded and -controlled studies, and why we don't accept it as a practice in most places anymore.
