How do you install not-iOS on an iPhone?

How do you install applications on iOS without involving Apple?

How do you transfer your iOS apps over to non-iPhones?

Until there is a compelling answer to all three of those then Apple is still a monopolist (when it comes to phones, but similar lists apply to their other product segments).

> Has it yet been absolutely proven 100% that a gas comprising 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere is the main culprit/control knob which controls climate(s) around the Earth?

Aside from the hyperbole, pretty much yeah.

Oxygen and Nitrogen aren't important when considering the greenhouse effect since they're diatomic molecules with tighter absorption bands and don't have the broad bands in the IR so that 99.96% of the atmosphere just doesn't matter (Argon is monoatomic which is even more dismissable. H2O matters but gas-vs-droplets is complicated and took decades to sort out).

It is all the rest of it that matters. And for example, satellite measurements of the absorption bands in the atmosphere show that CO2 absorption has been widening which explains the satellite observed reduction in IR emission from the Earth which explains warming as an imbalance in the heat budget of the entire planet.

The increase in CO2 coming from humans is also established via analysing the isotopes of carbon in the CO2 in the atmosphere and we can see that it is coming from carbon that we dig up out of the ground (protected from cosmic ray radiation) vs. the CO2 that was in the atmosphere. We can also measure that only about half the carbon we emit stays in the atmosphere, while the other half does get captured by the natural carbon cycle. But that's enough to disturb the balance. Small deviations in the budget add up over time.

And these questions are very, very basic. We wouldn't be discussing climate change if scientists didn't have the answers more or less nailed down.

I'd also recommend Ruddiman's undergraduate text on climate:

https://www.amazon.com/William-F-Ruddiman-Earths-Climate/dp/...

Although for $287 for the paperback, maybe rip it off on libgen. I think back when I bought the first edition it was $80 which seemed steep. Fuck science publishers, seriously.
Right, but that's a global cost for a localized benefit... which is kind of the whole deal here. In any case, basically every mitigation is still going to involve massive amounts of concrete- and diesel-related emissions, whether it's new housing, flood control measures, new energy sources, carbon capture, etc etc.

Yeah, no one ever looks down at people, or companies, that put their own personal interests (money) above that of society.
We want cheap stuff above non-polluting stuff, so we make them do the polluting. If we really cared about pollution we would put a stipulation that the stuff is made a certain way, and we would send someone to actually check this. The way it's done now there's a wink and a nudge, and the Chinese know perfectly well what the deal is.

Note that labor would still be cheaper there, so we could still have cheaper stuff, we just want it even cheaper, to hell with the consequences that we don't see anyway.

It's not just energy either, there's various chemicals and safety concerns that people discovered in the west a long time ago. It's just that the allure of cheap stuff is so great, it was fine to just stop making it in the west and pretend that standards overseas were acceptable.
Representation Won’t Save Us, but It Can Hurt Pretty Bad
> Interesting. Can you be a bit more specific? What in POSIX does systemd explicitly reject? And might there be a reason for that?

The project specifically rejects "caring about POSIX" in its entirety. Poettering has discussed this at length[1].

I'm not criticizing systemd here, I'm merely pointing out that Debian is already perfectly fine with shipping non-portable, aPOSIX or even anti-POSIX software by default (which I think is fine), and that the sudden pearl-clutching around `which` not being POSIX is completely inconsistent with many other decisions the project makes and has made.

[1]: https://archive.fosdem.org/2011/interview/lennart-poettering...

"In fact, the way I see things the Linux API has been taking the role of the POSIX API and Linux is the focal point of all Free Software development. Due to that I can only recommend developers to try to hack with only Linux in mind and experience the freedom and the opportunities this offers you. So, get yourself a copy of The Linux Programming Interface, ignore everything it says about POSIX compatibility and hack away your amazing Linux software. It's quite relieving!"

The interview notes various POSIX-incompatibilities as they existed in 2011. They have grown enormously since. It surfaces in userland in a huge number of ways, and *BSD ports maintainers have noted that it's increasingly hard to port any number of things due to the systemd-isms (which now extend to logging, cron, home directories, and many other core functionality replacements) they're baking in.

Again, this is not intended to criticize systemd, but this is precisely the sort of effect that people are hand-wringing about wrt `which` in bash scripts, but nobody is insisting that systemd needs be removed from Debian for having similar POSIX portability impacts. POSIX compatibility has simply never been a meaningful goal of Debian

TIL the term "wet-bulb temperature": https://www.iflscience.com/environment/why-is-everybody-talk...

tl;dr: It's essentially just a humidity-adjusted temperature, like wind chill factor for hot weather. The important figure to know is that a wet-bulb temperature of 35°C / 95°F (equivalent to that temperature at 100% humidity, or higher temperatures with lower humidities) will kill everyone.

This makes me wonder if it is (or will become) economical for cities to use renewable energy to dehumidify the outdoors, and if so whether the yield of water would actually be useful.

Thank you! So compact too. I can’t afford not to buy one.
I think the two “stories” were edited down a bit too much and are missing background information that isn’t technically relevant to the story but makes it difficult to follow because we have no context.

Once I read the linked stories in points 1. and 2. at the top the rest made a lot more sense. I don’t think it’s fair to assume readers will click on links and read the linked material in full though. Most readers don’t even finish reading the article they’re currently reading!
yea their change is to force coal producers to limit price and to increase production, unban Australian coal and buy more.... plus buy a massive amount of LNG from the USA... China is increasing its carbon output while still having to massively ration electricity... not so sure if they are taking this so seriously nor the world.

> Every major company has things they do that are bad

I am sorry, but funding random shows that people might not like as Netflix does is quite below the "evilness" meter of setting up ways to target 6 year Olds.....

The fact that you are even trying to equate these as being anywhere the same, at least in my eyes strongly strongly undermines your capacity to make moral judgments
This result seems bizarre.

You can always increase the dimension of an equation in trivial ways.

Why would injection of a dummy variable into a quadratic, to make it cubic, make it more tractable?

*edit: a couple of notes from the article that point towards hints, maybe?

"Could they do it for cubic optimization problems that carry the simplifying condition that they incorporate no constraints?"

"Knowing that both “apple” and “orange” appear would make you more confident, but you could still be wrong (Orange is a company too). A third term like “melon” introduces a cubic relationship and might allow you to confidently conclude the text is talking about produce."

Seems like it's related to context, there maybe too little context in a quadratic equation to optimize it well.

sunk cost fallacy, just because money was spent doesnt mean more money spent is justifiable
> Culture is important, and it starts at the top.

Over my career it is somewhat impressive how true this has been. Across companies that say very similar things about what it means to be an employee of X, the behavior of execs and senior leadership ripples through the ranks in obvious ways. When statements from high-level people are empty or specious, you can expect to encounter the same in your own management chain.

It only takes a moment to remember this each time a FB recruiter pings me. Couldn't I be one of the people working on solving these big problems and making XX% more while doing it? It's a false choice.
Ah, I assumed it was just a realistic looking exercise. If they actually used code written by the applicant, I can definitely see all kinds of problems!
> btw one man's whataboutism is another man's uncovering of hypocrisy.

They didn't say anything about the USA hegemony being bad just that they didn't want a Chinese one. How is that hypocrisy?
"They paid me $400k a year when similar companies for similar positions paid me $320k" is a very different story.
> already believer

Hrm. So, if one follows the scientific consensus[0] and actually takes into consideration the political and social consequences of the scientific consensus one is a ... believer?

I think at that point, you really have to ask yourself where the burden of proof really is. And if not the ones not-"believing" in the fact of global warming are the ones following some kind of believe system.

> 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.

Dude, that bullshit and you know it. We know what's happening. We've known it for a very long time. The scientists employed by companies like Exxon, BP, Total et all recognized in the seventies that there's a huge problem and that we are wreaking havoc with our dependence on fossil fuels. So don't 'We don't know what's happening" me.

We know what's happening, we can model it and we can use these models to create predictions. And the picture is not nice, you know. Funny thing; the predictions by previously mentioned scientists from world-famous oil producers actually created very accurate models that hold up today.

It's only political meddling that 'softened' these models to to make climate change and global warming not appear as drastic as it is.

> doing changing anything in their daily lives.

That's a fallacy. I can doing changing everything in my life and it will not change a iota. This is not some kind of personal responsibility-issue. This needs a concentrated global effort. Not some backyard hippies doing composting.

These are all the POSIX standardized commands:

It's also interesting that POSIX specified a job queue environment that nobody seems to use (entry with the qsub command), separate from the simple job system that originated in Bill Joy's C shell. The systemd oneshot service modifier comes to mind as an alternative to qsub.

Very pessimistic, but very true... I'd love to see a detailed analysis about - given continuing climate change - where the best places to live would be. This would be both geographically, in terms of climate, but perhaps also politically, about being able to scramble and, I dunno, keep everyone after me out, heh.

I'm actually sort of mildly positive about living outside Chicago right now since 1) my vague sense is that winters will get less severe (those crazy polar vortexes we've had a couple times now notwithstanding), 2) there's a fair bit of agriculture in the region that's not on the cusp of failing, 3) the elevation is high-ish and we're not on the coast, and 3) we're next to most of the world's fresh water. That said, I'm sure since this isn't a super well considered position, I'm probably missing a ton.
You're blatantly ignoring the "backed by humongous amounts of soft power" part.
I feel like the numbers sound so low they probably do more harm than good regardless.Even 3°C is well within normal variation from day to day, so unless you're already concerned about the secondary effects, vicious cycles etc, the number alone is reassuring if anything.
DST is a sloppy attempt to shift the clock to make the time of sunrise more fixed instead of just rather than fixing the time of solar noon. We should just go all in and define 00:00 as sunrise rather than 12:00 as solar noon.

Schools and shops would open around 01:00 or maybe 02:00 sunrise time. Typical office workers head home around 10:00. Where I am the sun would set around 09:00 in the winter and 15:30 in the summer.

And of course anything on the internet or that requires cross-region coordination would be scheduled in UTC, perhaps with a user's local sunrise time displayed as a parenthetical. To decide when to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne I'd look up his local time as I do today, but if we scheduled a call ahead of time we'd schedule it in UTC.

> Politicians "committing" to things that will happen after they are out of office, are mostly just saying pretty words.

And these same politicians are taking private jets and massive motorcades to summits when there's a much more carbon footprint-friendly alternative available (hint: we've all been doing it for the last 18 months).

They tell us we're "past the point of no return" w.r.t. sea levels rising to the point that some large percentage of our coastal cities will be underwater, yet haven't started building sea walls to at least attempt to prevent the flooding.

And these same politicians are hellbent on importing unlimited numbers of third world immigrants into first world countries, instantly elevating the carbon footprint of those people. All while telling Joe Blow in the first world that he should stop having children, think of the carbon footprint they're producing! How could you be so selfish!

This is why I don't take this stuff seriously. We get lectured about carbon footprint this and "past the point of no return" that by people doing the complete opposite of what should be done to reduce carbon footprint or try to mitigate the disaster that we're too late to prevent.
The performance of a student is mostly dependent on the student's ability themselves, their social groups and how much their parents are able to give a shit, especially in today's age of the internet where access to information is not a limiting factor. A good school district that performs well is mostly a function of how much of the population is composed of that kind of student & parent combo and safe environment.

Beyond a bare minimum service level of functioning buildings, adequate nutrition, adequate medical care, adequate psychological testing, some basic school supplies and semi-competent, non-abusive teachers the finances do not matter.

If a classroom has a 1:10 ratio or 1:40 ratio or a 10 year old building vs a 90 year old building, big fancy gym vs an empty field, cool robotics lab or none at all, that barely matters in comparison and that what shows up as the difference in a well funded district vs a badly funded one.

A well funded good school district causes a shift in the student population, it's not the money that causes improvements in outcomes compared to population shift, so it is easy to mix the two.

Because the USA has a history of the above statement also being used for crypto-racist segregative bullshit, everyone thinks this really saying racist shit, but this applies the world over, including places without a long history of racism.

Lmao, this one had me dying!
Criminal law in England and Wales is between the Crown (represented by a prosecutor, often but not always an arm of the state) and the alleged criminal. So the question 'who is the technical victim' isn't usually very interesting. The three salient questions here are:

1) Has the person committed an offence (probably yes: fraud by false representation, contrary to s.2 Fraud Act 2006);

2) Is there a reasonable prospect of conviction? (Who knows: will depend on the evidence); and

3) Is it in the public interest to prosecute? (Almost certainly yes).

'Who has been defrauded' doesn't even matter for establishing (1), only that the fraudster intended to make a gain for himself or a loss for someone else by making a false representation (in this case that he was the owner of the house). So in this case it really is a bit crappy from the police: if a fraud has been committed it doesn't in principle matter who complains about it, they should investigate (or at least register the crime) anyway.
>what people generally think of the company

which is what exactly? if they didn't like it, they'd be leaving in droves. tech nerds are really the only ones upset about anything that FB has done/is doing.

instead, the average person looks at what they get from FB. most of them never, not once, think at about what cost. to them it is free to use, and that's all that matters. raising privacy concerns goes no where. manipulating people's emotions isn't really doing much negatively to FB either. addicts are like that though. deep down, they might actually be aware that what they are doing is not good for them, but that isn't strong enough to fight the addiction.
