I don't really want to relocate globally, so my criteria is: stay away from known flood zones and coastal areas (both due to sea level rise and more frequent/destructive tropical storms). Be prepared with to live off grid in weather more severe than expected in the area for a week or more when weather knocks out the power. Oh, and stay away from urban areas for the same reason - a week long power outage in a city is not going to go well no matter how prepared you are yourself.
They probably don't plan on having poor grandchildren.
Siberia recently suffered some of the worst wildfires on the entire planet haha. I think probably the safest would be East Canada as they're cold enough but not as tree-like.
I think the difference is there are documents showing Facebook is aware their platform harms teenage children. If Disney did studies that showed their products were psychologically damaging their consumers I think we would be right in 'witch hunting' them too. Honestly I think marketing to children is predatory in general and it's kind of crazy that we don't have more checks on this.
Thank you for this clarification. This topic has been previously discussed on HN and sadly the top comments seem to always result in poorly informed pitchfork parties against the EU and its institutions.

I would urge people to read the linked texts in your comment. I think they will see that it is entirely possible to follow the (imperfect) thought process of the EU Commission from these primary sources, since they are quite readable.
Mass migration to New Zealand or Siberia would entail would mean more construction work causing more carbon to be released.

Rather adapt existing buildings to the changing climate.
IIRC both Stasi and KGB did aim for an almost full coverage of surveillance and informants, not just limiting to a small fraction of the population. Stasi had 500000+ informants (3% or more of population) which had done monitoring, and obviously they wrote reports on much more people than that.

Similarly for KGB; I believe that standard practice was to recruit secret informants e.g. from every course group in universities, so any student activities would be fully covered and you could get a personal report about every student; for 100% of any trips abroad the group had an agent/informant or multiple within the group. So you'd have a small fraction (multiple percent?) of population actively involved in the monitoring, and a majority of people being at least occasionally monitored - as the archives later revealed, an average person should expect that your colleagues, friends and relatives will [have to] write reports on you (corroborated by the fact that any group might include two or more informants, so any omissions would be obvious and cause consequences for the false reporter) and note any expressions of anti-government sentiment.

The aim was to effectively keep a gun aimed at everyone, and they were somewhat successful in achieving that (or at least maintaining that belief) even without modern technologies.
Everything is a major political issue in the United States.
Siberia will be continuous forest fires. Much like Canada's north.

I'm partial to the northern half of the great lakes.
"They paid me $400k a year whereas the median income in the US was like $30k a year" would be enough for a lot of people to forgive you for the egregious crime of working for Facebook.

Biohacking/biotech is an interesting example, since you can scale down to individual biohackers or up to farms (in which those farms very clearly have manufacturing/process that is hard to replicate).

However, biology also has the ability to adapt to its circumstances and replicate itself. Though that ability is usually annoying, it just might enable manufacturing/scale up that is easy to copy, something that is fundamentally different from all other kinds of high-tech manufacturing.
> I know we're in a post-truth world,

We're not in a post-truth world; people have always made stuff up. We've just got the cultural values of the scientists, applied to our good ol' traditional behaviour, so people are a little more credulous at the moment than they usually are.
What did the dinosaurs do when this happened to them?
If lead from avgas was an acute problem, literally everyone who lives near GA airports would have high lead levels. I've not heard of such a situation, though.

I think that evidence points to plenty of cases of lead poisoning from lead paint and, yes, lead in water. I have yet to hear of anyone getting lead poisoning from living near a GA airport.

Do note that lead paint also leads to contamination of surfaces and soils, as deteriorating paint turns into dust.

I don't think water contamination is similar to air dispersal at all. People consume a certain amount of water out of the tap every day, and whatever is in the water ends up in the body. There is a much less clear absorption chain from lead emitted into the air to the body.

Edit: I did the math based on the numbers above: Within 1 mile of an airport (typical pattern size) with 100 take-offs per day, each using 1 gallon of avgas so emitting 1g of lead will, over a decade, deposit ~50ug of lead per m^2.

If we say a yard is 100m^2, that's 5mg of lead. That's the equivalent lead content of < 1g of lead-based paint.

I'm not disputing that if you live in a new house, far away from a highway, but near a GA airport, avgas might be the major contribution to your lead exposure. But compared to the lead exposure risk from houses still containing lead paint, it seems completely insignificant.
We can make either time the permanent one and adjust accordingly, it’s the twice a year disruption that people hate. Especially difficult to explain to a child why their bedtime suddenly shifted despite established circadian rhythms.

It’s weirder to me that so many people care about which arbitrary number on the clock correlates to the position of the sun.
I dont think you understand how valuable this information is for someone who is a layman. I really appreciate the response!

Oh shit so the math and detection gets stupid difficult at higher mag fields because of wavelength/scale and complex environments. I cant imagine how interesting those patterns for B1+ ≠ B1-* are from a diagnostic perspective /s. But as an academic pretty damn cool with a lot of opportunities.

Heating the patient sounds like a bad idea. So the higher mag field incurs a lot of problems due to physical properties and the sample media being the human body. It does look like we are innovating a lot to make this work. I'm thoroughly enjoying reading so far.
Two ways I would argue for Netflix being a tech company.

A critical question is, how and how much do they pay their developers (and other tech folks)? I believe Netflix compensates their tech workers more richly than the average media company. I am certain of it if you take an average over the past 10 years.

The other argument is, when we say tech, we really mean qualitative innovation. Did Netflix disrupt an existing 800 pound gorilla using technology? The answer is yes, they killed Blockbuster by embracing tech.
The last 1.5 years has shown humans are just too tribal to come to a consensus on something as obvious as COVID. There is zero chance we are going to all agree on climate change. Most companies and politicians think in short term intervals because of the systems we have devised.

It seems to be that the most obvious solutions will be make amazing technology and make it as cheap or cheaper than the dirty competitors -- eventually, even the people that dont believe in climate change will be driving EVs, have solar panels on their roofs, and eating fake meat.

Also, we should all be hoping there are some breakthroughs in nuclear (cheaper + safer reactors that leads to less regulation and allow nuclear to be more ubiquitous )
Pfizer adds ingredient used to stabilize heart attack victims to kids' vaccine
Part of the problem is, packages have different names on different systems, and many are missing altogether (is it libxml-dev or libxml-devel or does your OS simply not have that package, because the package repository owners are in a state of gang warfare with the libxml devs?)
Please don't throw around accusations of victim-blaming like this.

No one is claiming that the victim is at fault. But I do think it's useful information to pass along that it's possible to get notified of things like this before they become big problems.

It's like... it's not my fault if I get mugged at 3am in a part of the city known for being full of violent crime, but I also should have known better than to be walking around in a part of the city known for violent crime at 3 in the morning. Just because I am the victim, it doesn't mean I couldn't have avoided an incident if I'd used common sense.

It's about outcomes and reality: sometimes we have to take on a little extra responsibility in order to make it less likely a bad thing will happen. That's not fair or just, but it's the way the world works.
An interesting and certainly effective approach. Still need a solid resume and skills but I can see this saving a ton of time.
I made an app to enjoy Halloween
Similar situation here. When I was younger, there was plenty of these specific pine trees close to a local cinema (back in France). We wouldn't go often, but before / after the movie we would pick the shelled nuts off the ground and crack them open. I got surprised to see how expensive these are the first time I found them in a shop given that, as kids, we would just pick these off the ground.
Well, I doubt Siberia will be ok. Northern passage will become commercially viable but the Taiga forest itself will most likely be burning for the next couple decades until it's all gone. So unless people walk 24h in oxygen masks it will not be a nice place to live.
> no shortage of other opportunities available to them

well clearly there aren't better opportunities because no one is loyal like that - they would have obviously quit if there were better opportunities.
The fact that the video is posted using peertube gives me a breath of hope.

Considering how it is currently not very popular, I don't have high hopes that this video will last longer than it could be had it been posted on youtube. Nevertheless, this is a step in the right direction.
What that really means is that people will try geoengineering to reduce the temperature, absorb CO2, or block sunlight. No sure why this is always assumed to not happen.

This will come with its own risks, but at the time in future when this is done, the risk-reward characteristics might not be so bad.
This is in contrast to the tone that I've heard from various experts. In particular, there seems to be a lot of concern about the collapse of our ability to reliably produce food and other essentials.
The speed of light puts a hard constraint in the simultaneity of data availability in a network. You can't have data replicated faster than c no matter how fast is your hardware.
Apple is the farthest from cool and actually is a borderline embarrassment if you own their products for the majority of my friends. I know we are the minority though.
No one said "totally impossible to do anything".

We want to do things on the sun. We don't want to have to carry torch. We want to get what little vitamin D we can get from more then just pills.

It is cool to see outside without having to go where floodlights are. Taking walk and see around, for example.
It should be a lot of emergent weather events and other affected areas if global warming goes so high.

The predictions of this article is pretty dry in that sense, sea rise, normal heatwaves, droughts, stronger storms, in general the same but stronger, more of it.

It is a safe bet, but the global system is pretty complex and interconnected, and a big change will affect most subsystems in ways that it may not look so obvious now, but that will be in hindsight.

We are already seeing some weird things, like the disruption of the polar vortex, the disproportionate heat near the poles where some of the most dangerous positive feedback loops happens, or the heath dome of some months ago, and still we are pretty low in the change scale.

And all the road to any line set in the sand will be bumpy and with a lot of bad surprises. And it won't be an way back, only forward, no matter at which bad event people decide that it shouldn't happen again.

We keep doing things worse, and faster than ever, there is no hope while no meaningful and disruptive actions are taken. But we will prefer to not cut our leg now, and be left having no way to stop our body dying later.
I also believe that sharing interests - here a drink (even if non-alcoholic) or a sport is a great way to find minds alike. Meetups are a very convenient and very underrated online tool helping the lonely soul with that.
Thanks for the feedback. The site is still young and smart pointers are definitely on the list of things to discuss. I’ve bumped their priority.
That is what the Senate is for. A minority party should never get control of all three branches of government with only 46% of the popular vote. Control of one branch of government is sufficient to exert influence on the legislative process. In our current setup, the minority party has zero reason to appeal to the median voter. This results in increasing polarization as the two parties are no longer competing against each other for voters, but instead are trying to drive turnout.
Since it was not sold by the owner it is difficult to argue for the legality of the transaction. Whoever claims bought something has nothing in fact, the person they've been in business with had nothing to sell. Selling nothing is nothing. The records are false!

If the authorities assume things are in order here they should also be prosecuted for negligence or being accomplice and at least revert the FALSE transfer of ownership. (are we sure here that the 'buyer' is an unsuspecting party theyself?...)
They expect to have grandchildren that are sufficiently powerful enough to choose their own geography.
We do find it odd how some will dig into a poser's history for the apparent purpose of rendering judgement on those expressing diverse views.
It's not really a question of trust though is it? Did you really think we blindly trusted every piece of kit they sold us until the US government kicked up a stink?

It's a question of eye watering costs of ripping out ALL of the very expensive hardware vs. simply vetting it & ripping out some of the more complex stuff that cant be vetted.

Nope. Scorched earth.

I have no doubt that they would have already bugged the west if they thought we wouldnt catch them in the act.

Which we likely would have.

Hence, probably economic, not national security (unless its about america wanting to install its own bugs in which case lord help us).
A coworker added coroutines to KJ [1] so for our purposes it’s “made it”. It’ll be more broadly useful obviously with library support in the standard. I think that’s targeted for c++23

While this is true, some of it is because voters are ignorant and prefer politicians who lie to them. Oh sure, they'll say they want honest politicians, but then the ones who promise them the moon are the ones they'll actually vote for. Someone telling them, "sorry but your policy idea is hideously impractical and would be extremely expensive for little benefit" won't get their vote, even if it's true.
this is a bizarrely fatalistic and defeatist perspective

you may think you're being a realist, but really it just sounds like you're giving up because it's easier
Baudot Code
yea with China's energy crisis problem its increasing coal production and consumption.. plus a massive increase in LNG
FB interview standards are extremely high. People who work there, probably about 95% of them could work at any other tech company if they choose to. What keeps a majority of the people there I would assume is 2 things,

#1. The pay is very close to top in the industry, hedgefunds/netflix pay usually more.

#2. Getting to work on products/features that are used by millions and sometimes billions of users, not many companies can offer that to a candidate.

I personally am hounded by their recruiters but will never work there due to moral objections about their leadership and their companies effect on society. That being said I am not judging people for working there, everyone has a free choice to make and some people may not have my convictions and there are many great people who do work there.
What about it? Seemed pretty straightforward to me.
> The person's qualifications and achievements will be largely taken into consideration, together with their loyalty to the Party, who their parents are, friends in high places who vouched for them, favors that need to be returned, etc... Not that much different from the capitalism.

One's loyalty to the Party is not often taken into consideration under capitalism.
I think your comment is a bit too glib; your point though I think is entirely correct. You can't compare the average living standard in China to the US and claim bad faith on their part.
Hmm, sort of, in a 'fool and his money are swiftly parted' way, but when you take the car keys away, you're preventing something terrible from happening, where ripping off easy marks just leaves them unable to eat or pay the rent (that is, either way something terrible happens).
> sunlight which can be a precious commodity here in the Pacific Northwest

Oddly for this DST shill, I envy you that. I despise unfiltered sunlight. I just don't want it replaced with darkness.

I really don't want to deflect to "which party is worse"--to do so would be to completely miss my point. Let's tackle the existential threat first and then we can resume politics-as-sport.

>I think people who regularly get rape threats and racial abuse, many of whom are calling for such legislation ( recently there have been numerous cases with black footballers and also some with female journalists), have a slightly higher priority than people who just want to insult freely without fear of consequences.

They don't have higher priority than the rest of society, which enjoy an important lack of authoritarianism in this regard. It's not about wanting to insult freely, but about the right to offend.
The list of her accomplishments is absolutely hilarious. The very fact that recruiters bit on it is a damning indictment on them. They collect brands and that's their entire job.
Your last paragraph has definitely increased my optimism. I wish i had more time to reply. I might have to wait for another weekend for this.

>there are also a huge number of opportunities -- it is (hopefully!) going to make it possible to image at higher spatial resolution, and also be much better for MR spectroscopy, and reveal information about low concentrations of biomolecules. But I guess the main point of my comment originally last night was trying to convey "the journey is really just beginning" and not "expect this in your local hospital in five years time".

What specifically in your estimation will aid in detecting low concentration biomolecules?

That paper is on my to read list.

No way we can stop this now - even with a New Zero Carbon breakthrough, like fusion. The people and entities that could fix this just don't have the incentives.

See you all in 2050 in our CO2-filtered bedrooms :) Live your lives, folks, we only have so much of it. Earth is beautiful, take it in while you still can.
How embarrassing...
No, that’s not correct in the US. If you buy stolen property unknowingly, it can be taken away from you.

Had my TV stolen, it ended up in a pawn shop. Luckily, I had receipt and serial number. There was some paperwork and court order but pawnshop had to return TV to me.
To the contrary I would suggest that the market will end up being the purest form of direct democracy ever to exist. This is only possible because modern technology lets everyone participate from anywhere.
Yep. Just like the George Floyd trial "if they don't find him guilty, we'll burn the city down."
The article doesn't support your characterization of it.

Nuclear isn't rejected by the left because of tribalism, as you seem to imply. It is rejected for other reasons, completely unrelated to tribalism, as the article points out. And many on the right reject nuclear for the exact same reasons.
