Perhaps consider that a "Senior" Product Manager at a mid-size company doesn't have the same perspectives of actual engineers at much larger companies.
I see your point about mask compliance, but I would argue that tackling climate change requires the opposite approach. The best solutions are top-down economic agreements, requiring little to no buy in from individuals.

What's more is that it's a cumulative problem, so every little bit helps. Factoring in carbon capture, good actors can even cancel out bad ones. Very unlike the pandemic, where a few bad actors have outsized power to make things terrible for everybody.
OpenSpace.ai | https://openspace.ai | Electron Software Engineer, Java/Kotlin BE Engineer | San Francisco | Remote | Full Time

At OpenSpace, we’re using cutting-edge technology — think the perception and navigation AI systems used in self-driving cars — to allow people out in the real world to efficiently capture their work, analyze it, and get things done. We’re building virtual time machines for every construction job site.

I am currently looking for:
1) An experienced Electron engineer to own our existing desktop sync app (plug in a 360-camera and we automagically upload what we need). This currently works but it needs some love and someone to own adding new features and applying Electron best practices.
2) An experienced BE/Kotlin backend product engineer. We use Spring, AWS, Postgres.

If you're interested please reach out to me (the hiring manager): jack@openspace.ai please put "HN whoishiring" somewhere in the subject line.

> 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.

Well people will likely first start cooling and lowering the humidity indoors with their ACs. The condensate might be used to feed the household hydroponic systems.
I can't cite that example, I just have a friend whose parents are there tell me a story about how they were saying how pretty the snow flurries were and how he had to inform them about how ominous it was for there to be snow there. It's possible that they were referring to the frost that Sao Paolo got (which is still pretty crazy), and the videos of snow from further south.

It's 2021, if you really, genuinely don't understand the power of network effects by now then there truly is no hope for you.
Except you can search by state?

Just type in the state abbreviation.
You are kind of right and wrong at the same time.

You should definitely assume that a late-winter polar vortex is an annual occurrence. Summers will get warmer, rain storms will get more intense. So you definitely are going to need to adapt. And flooding is an issue, so you better make sure to be in a FEMA X zone.

On the other hand, Illinois and Chicago are really, really low on the climate migration desirability index. Yet there is excellent soil for agriculture and the state is doing a decent job of incentivizing farmers to protect it. There is a huge amount of good water. Etc. You probably don't have to worry too much about being priced out of a house.
I wonder what version of POSIX "command -v" conforms to, and if which might have become widespread before it.

[Edit:
* Some googling suggests maybe this made it into posix circa 1995? Base specification issue 4.

* Wikipedia says which came about in 3BSD which was from the late 70s -- OpenBSD manpage also says this.

* My FreeBSD machine's manpage says FreeBSD 2.1 which is also 1995.]

I have an old Solaris box I don't power on, which I purchased for the novelty more than 20 years ago. It has which. Its semantics are slightly different from a typical Linux or *BSD implementation, but it's there.
Why lectures don't work.
"Lectures don’t work because the medium lacks a functioning cognitive model. It’s (implicitly) built on a faulty idea about how people learn—transmissionism—which we can caricaturize as “lecturer says words describing an idea; students hear words; then they understand.” When lectures do work, it’s generally as part of a broader learning context (e.g. projects, problem sets) with a better cognitive model. But the lectures aren’t pulling their weight. If we really wanted to adopt the better model, we’d ditch the lectures, and indeed, that’s what’s been happening in US K–12 education."

Why books don't work
"In this section we’ve seen that, like lectures, non-fiction books don’t work because they lack a functioning cognitive model. Instead, like lectures, they’re (accidentally, invisibly) built on a faulty idea about how people learn: transmissionism. When books do work, it’s generally for readers who deploy skillful metacognition to engage effectively with the book’s ideas. This kind of metacognition is unavailable to many readers and taxing for the rest. Books aren’t pulling their weight. Textbooks do more to help, but they still foist most of the metacognition onto the reader, and they ignore many important ideas about how people learn."

So, that's a 25% pay cut. What makes you think that people who make 400k can afford to take a 25% pay cut?
The thing about shortages is they are caused by anti-gouging laws.

> Would you feel the same way if you or your SO had some awful disease, and someone was buying all the medication and selling it at a price out of your reach?

What is your proposed mechanism for deciding who gets it and who doesn't?
My understanding is that there were some impurities in the original sources that made the stuff work. Purer ingredients likely didn't react the same way.

The same behavior was noted when recreating the "spark of life" experiments from the 1950s in non-borosilicate containers. It turned out that the containers themselves played a role.

A similar situation occurs with sonoluminescence, where the trace ingredients of air have to be dissolved in the water to get it to work. (argon and co2)
Do you think that it might be more complicated than the scenario you've devised, or do you believe it is as simple and foolproof as you say?
> So in a broader sense, we don't know what will happen, even if the models are sufficiently accurate.

I'm not really sure if this is tongue-in-cheek, if you're just trolling or if that's a serious argument. I'll try to treat it as a serious argument, just to be sure.

Sure, there are tons and tons of failure modes that are not included in the models. Galactic gamma ray bursts! Rogue black holes throwing the Earth out of orbit! Alien invasion (probably not)!

The question is if they are relevant in the topic of modeling the consequences of continued greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere - and the answer is: no.

So, while philosophically your statement is true that "we don't know what will happen, even if the models are sufficiently accurate" - you still get out of bed in the morning and go to work, not wasting any (much?) time thinking about that gamma ray burst coming our way.

> We also don't know what eventually people will do to mitigate or change the climate actively. So again, what will happen is not set in stone, independent of current decarbonization efforts (and their success or failure).

The IPCC has several modes of mitigation that model possible scenarios. That's covered.
This sort of scam is really common in Kenya. Walking around you'll see plenty of houses with large spray-painted letters stating 'THIS HOUSE IS NOT FOR SALE.'
My comment doesn't support your characterization of it. :)

My original remark was about rising above tribalism for sake of the environment. I was specifically thinking about the line in the article:

> Or buy your meat locally and get pasture raised animals, which actually is a carbon REDUCING activity.

Are you sure?

https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/08/13/746576239/is...

"A number of past studies have found lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with the feedlot system. One reason is that grass-fed cows gain weight more slowly, so they produce more methane (mostly in the form of belches) over their longer lifespans."

https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local

"‘Eating local’ is a recommendation you hear often – even from prominent sources, including the United Nations. While it might make sense intuitively – after all, transport does lead to emissions – it is one of the most misguided pieces of advice. Eating locally would only have a significant impact if transport was responsible for a large share of food’s final carbon footprint. For most foods, this is not the case. GHG emissions from transportation make up a very small amount of the emissions from food and what you eat is far more important than where your food traveled from."

> Unlike quite a bit of industrial farming including growing most vegan staples.

Like what?

https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local

"Many of the foods people assume to come by air are actually transported by boat – avocados and almonds are prime examples. Shipping one kilogram of avocados from Mexico to the United Kingdom would generate 0.21kg CO2eq in transport emissions. This is only around 8% of avocados’ total footprint. Even when shipped at great distances, its emissions are much less than locally-produced animal products."
Why does our society allow for a company like this to exist?
Triggered much? There are safe spaces for such. There all can gather where they belong. To impose your sensibilities on all others is just wrong.
Note that how we calculate inflation has actually changed since the Carter Years - most importantly the substitution of housing in the inflation basket with OER (owner-equivalent rent).

If we had the previous inflation measure (same as 1970s), CPI would be closer to double digits now (because of housing appreciation over the last year).

https://www.wsj.com/articles/inflation-numbers-1970s-cpi-hou...
For now, small demo prototypes. Anything going to manufacturing would be below 100 (probably a dozen) units so saving a few bucks helps but not immensely.

My main concerns are dev support and easy designs.
Rather than just storing a ledger of transactions in a decentralized manner (already a huge innovation), Ethereum allowed the execution of arbitrary code by the distributed system. Smart contracts can be thought of for the uninitiated like event-based lambdas that are immutable, publicly visible, and you don’t have to pay for the compute or storage (the user does via fees per usage). One cool use case for this is a decentralized exchange - an exchange wherein no centralized party controls the prices or flows. Another is flash loans.

It's worth noting that the quality of games currently released on the Nintendo Switch is currently pretty abysmal[1], with as many Unity asset flips and low-effort 'games' as on Steam.

Perhaps it's not as bad as the situation on mobile, but a quick look through the recently released list on the eShop shows how bad things have gotten.

This is true in practice pretty much everywhere governments exist though, it's not really a monarchy versus republic thing. The stick is no less painful if it's called "society's stick" rather than "the King's stick" if the government of the day decide to beat you with it.
>Language that is meant to intimidate?

So like "Eat the rich?" or is it more like "I hope antivaxxers actually get covid"? Does "Fuck you" count?
At first I thought this sounded like another scam coin, but the devs created the squid token and marbles only "earned by taking part in the project’s play-to-earn game. Only those who have accrued Marbles actually have the ability to sell their SQUID on the open market. "

And then to play the game you need to wager 456 squid which you might lose. That's hilarious. I wondered how a "play to earn" scheme might work but this is basically gambling.

Who cares about "investors" who are too dumb to do research. This isn't investing by buying non-direct shares of a Chinese company with sketchy accounting, those I would feel bad for. This is "investing" by buying a joke coin and hoping some sucker buys it from you.
At our peril.
Yep. The FDA recommended temperatures are very conservative and reflect something like the temperature at which almost all dangerous pathogens would be killed nearly instantaneously. Holding for a minute at 155F, or even 140F for a long while (easy to do with sous vide), has the same pasteurizing effect and is perfectly safe, while not totally ruining the texture† as cooking to 170F would do.

Serious Eats has a great explanation. "Food safety is a function of both temperature and time." https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-complete-guide-to-s...

† (personally, I find 140F chicken breast a bit weird, though)
That I very much doubt. The average outrage timer is 48 hours, then everybody forgets and jumps to a new controversy. As for Facebook, many of my relatives still use it, either indirectly through WhatsApp or Instagram, or directly. Maybe my technically minded friends would care if I worked for Facebook, but even then those are far and few between. I barely remember my coworkers from 10 years ago.

Because the issue is that the state is forbidding academics from speaking at trials, and you are roping in right-wing disdain for academia under the guise of "bias".
The rest of the world gets an extremely biased view of what’s happening in America. They may view “liberal election workers and would be reformers” as the good guys based on that, but the best way to tell what they think is reasonable is from the rules they impose on themselves. French people might not like Georgia Republicans, but France banned mail in voting in the 1970s, while Georgia has extensive mail in voting. Germans might not like Georgia Republicans either, but residency registration there—which is required for voting—requires shlepping down to a citizens office in person with a bunch of paperwork. Meanwhile you can register to vote in Georgia completely online.

You can see this for many other issues as well. International media portrays American Republicans as crazy religious fundamentalists. But Mississippi’s 15-week abortion law is less restrictive than the laws in France or Germany. (In the latter country, abortion is technically still illegal under the basic law, though not punished.)

I agree referencing international norms is a good way to sanity-check what’s within bounds. But obviously the way to do that is to look at the actual rules in place in other liberal democracies, not how people in those countries perceive Americans. On that front, the American left is outside the liberal democratic mainstream on many issues: voting, abortion, religious education, etc.
As someone who has to do UI/UX work on Windows, I prefer the way macOS handles it, the issue is, if I use a non-HiDPI aware app on Windows, I have no idea what my UI elements will look like - on MacOS, they may show up blury, but I know exactly what they'll look like - another issue is, Windows does UI scaling on non-HiDPI screens by default.
Bitcoin is pretty easy to trace.

$80k a year is still a big raise even from $320k. But the bigger issue is that in most cases it wouldn't be easy to establish high confidence that the company offering the $320k salary is significantly less bad for the world than Facebook is (for whatever one's own definitions may be for "bad").
First of all, your numbers are wrong[1]. And second, thanks to Trump, R's lost a lot of seats in CA by close margins. Before Trump, the CA delegation was more balanced. It should also be said that CA Democrats are a super majority. Once you get into super majority territory, it would essentially require a reverse gerrymander to protect minority seats.

CA uses a nonpartisan process to create their congressional maps. If and when the Republicans manage to claw their way out of super minority status, I fully expect that the congressional delegation will return to a more balanced state.
