No, we drive only a little less. Miles driven fell only 13% in 2020 vs 2019, and people drive more in 2021 than they had in 2020.

Well, since 'global warming' is only concerned about the damage resulting from greenhouse gas emissions, that term is not to bad, actually. I like 'global warming' much better than the 'green'washed term 'climate change' we've had to use in the last 15 years because, you know, part of the earth got cooler, sometimes, and who even believes in 'global warming'? Even the term 'global warming' is/was considered political. What the heck...

To collect all the consequences and processes you mentioned, I usually like to use the term "predatory ecosystem exploitation", because that pretty much describes what we're doing to our life support system.

Not too early to ask, but too early to require. You should already know if the company allows remote before you get to the interview. Interviewing is part of a negotiation process, and you are probably better off waiting until you have an offer (i.e. in a stronger negotiating position) before making demands.

Look at it another way: During early interviews you may be competing with a lot of other candidates. Once you get to the short list, or have an offer, the employer has invested time in you and has made a decision to bring you on. That's when you are in a good position to negotiate salary, benefits, and perks like working remotely. If you get surprised at that point because the company won't negotiate with you on your needs and requirements you probably didn't research the job carefully enough.

If you're a senior-level programmer, or someone with experience in any field, and you get to an in-person interview without knowing if the company permits remote working you didn't do your homework.

Interesting side note. That's true for property, but not for cash.

Cash is legally considered fungible. So, if someone steals a bunch of cash and buys something from you with it, even though that specific cash technically belonged to someone else before theft, it can't be reclaimed even if they can prove it.

I can't imagine that the overlap between those using Scikit-Learn and those willing to buy and integrate ML-specialized hardware is that high. I think a lot of real-world usage of simpler ML libraries like Scikit-Learn is deploying small models onto an already existing x86 or ARM system which had cycles to spare for some basic classification or regression.
Hmm maybe the answer would be to be negative about things you can actually influence, and not bother with things you cannot. That's quite zen, if you want.

The places that can weather climate change well will be overrun by refugees from poorer countries that can't.

For most first world countries the first order effects are mostly a drag on infrastructure costs and costs of living. Even absurd things like damming in the entire North Sea to protect against sea level rise are viable with enough political will [1]. But places that can't afford that will lose population centers to sea level rise, will be unable to produce enough water for drinking and agriculture, or just become too hot in the summer months to be livable without AC everywhere. And all those people won't just keel over and die, they will have the same thought you just expressed.

IDK. I'm over 50 and still do it most days.
Agreed. It's why over the years I've come up with experiments like the above that I can give to capable yet deluded people to check things on their own. It amazes me how many otherwise smart people eat the huge amount of crappy, conspiratorial economic nonsense widespread on many forums, including unfortunately a lot of HN and Reddit threads.

"every company does bad things and therefore they're all equally bad, phew, now I don't have to leave my cushy $300K FAANG job where I push microtransactions to little kids" is not very convincing.

It comes down to greed and prestige; that's all.
This is hilarious. Taking money away from anyone stupid enough to "invest" in cryptocurrency is almost a public service. It's like confiscating booze and car keys from 16 year olds.

What are you basing this on? The President of the Commission is, by law, proposed by the European Council and validated or not by the European Parliament. Since there was no single majority party after the election, it's not completely surprising that backroom deals led to a different president than the desire of the party holding the most seats.

I don't think that's an accurate interpretation of what americans think. The majority of Americans don't think the Government is doing enough.

"About two-thirds of U.S. adults (67%) say the federal government is doing too little to reduce the effects of climate change"

According to this: 59% of Americans see it as a major threat and 23% see it as a minor threat. This is close to the Australia (60% and 29%) and UK (66% and 23%) numbers.

I think the media discussion in America on many issues (policing, masks/vaccines, climate change) presents a distorted view of what the majority believes, because sensational, clashing talking heads drive more ad dollars. So why don't we see more action on climate change in America? Well, some reasons: 1) Lobbying efforts often push back or at least water down any change. 3) America's two party system plays to the extremes in both camps rather than the majority viewpoint, which gets lost. 1) most people have more pressing near term concerns that dominate their choices.
"I've got a successful vision in one thing, so all my ideas are good. You're not rich so your opinion (love) doesn't matter to me. "

The only reason people listen to this man en masse is that is he good at getting rich, which affords power. But I would never want a building designed only by a Heart Surgeon, a Chef, or a Professional Athlete just because they are good at their job, so why are we listening to a banker? Any profession will just optimize for things dealing with their speciality. Money is all about productivity and collaboration, so that is what he is trying to encourage, but misses the point by forcing it by making living conditions so unbearable. Might as well force workers into shitty conditions so they would rather be on a factory floor than at home.

I can't believe the greedy administrators that OKed this project. There is a reason no one wants to live in what are essentially cells given a choice, its miserable.

I don't think Facebook's version of a metaverse will succeed simply because only a fool would strap an eye-ball-tracking ad delivery system to their face that is owned and controlled by Zuckerberg and his addictive algorithms. Kinda reminds me of an "Alien" egg detecting a warm body nearby...

Plus Zuck's polyanna vision of his metaverse just sounds like an attempt to pivot away from all the troubles he and his platform have caused. Like car salesman trying to keep you in your seat with promises of new and better.

To be up front, I do have a FB account (for name squatting) but never login or use it (starve the beast). Better things to do with my time and attention.

I did try a friend's Occulus awhile back and it was cool to geo-travel to 360 environments, play light sabers, etc. I can see some potential for certain applications. But after an hour of immersion it left me feeling weird, disoriented. Probably due to my proprioception being severely messed with.

The metaverse has potential idea but only if it's Halliday's vision and not coporately co-opted by the likes Sorrento. Or put in real-world terms, if it's Tim Berners-Lee's vision and not Zuckerberg's.
Turnstile | Early Team | US/Canada/Mexico | REMOTE ONLY

We're a team of repeat founders and seasoned operators solving a hair-on-fire problem in SaaS. We're still in stealth, but we're in the general space of B2B revenue infrastructure.

Our last company, Second Measure, raised $25M from Y Combinator, Bessemer, Goldman Sachs, and other top investors, scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in annual revenue, and was acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders — mid-level ICs through senior leadership — to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Founding Engineers (backend/platform/infrastructure/data/frontend)
- Founding Designer
- Founding Product Manager

We're well-funded, fully distributed, and building intentional culture that puts our people first. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility, and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm a founder (mike@). If interested, shoot jobs@ and me an email (tryturnstile.com).
I should have used single quotes. I was actually paraphrasing from a course that was offered to math teachers by the Oregon Dept of Education. The coursebook was authored by an organization called "A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction"[1]. The first book of the course contains the following [2,3]:

"As a visual indicator, we italicize the terms used to identify white supremacy characteristics as defined by Jones and Okun (2001). They are as follows:

• Perfectionism

• Sense of Urgency

• Defensiveness

• Quantity Over Quality

• Worship of the Written Word

• Paternalism

• Either/Or Thinking

• Power Hoarding

• Fear of Open Conflict

• Individualism

• Only One Right Way

• Progress is Bigger, More

• Objectivity

• Right to Comfort"

And:

"While there is some value in students being able to complete work independently, when this is the only or most common avenue for learning or practicing, it reinforces individualism and the notion that I’m the only one. This does not give value to collectivism and community understanding, and fosters conditions for competition and individual success, which perpetuates the idea that if a student is failing it is because they are not trying hard enough or that they don’t care."

[1] https://equitablemath.org

[2] * https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11... *, 6

[3] Ibid, 63

As an aside, I don't even think the attempt to slander "individualism" as white supremacy is nearly the most alarming or offensive thing on a list that also degrades objectivity, promotes open conflict, and bashes writing - the most basic defining feature of civilization. As a Jewish person, I also can't help thinking that "Worship of the Written Word" is a direct assault on Judaism, a religion in which the sanctity of life and the sanctity of the written word go hand in hand. In fact, disrespect for the written word calls directly to mind the white supremacists who burned Jewish books in Nazi Germany.
> doesn't that shift the problem to impersonating the LLC?

Correct, but as the grandparent comment says, the likelihood of identifying info of your LLC (that could be fraudulently used) to appear in as many data leaks is way less than that of your personal info.

Plus, even if this type of fraud is still technically possible with LLC (albeit with much more difficult steps), just the fact that it is more difficult should discourage the criminals (unless they have some personal vendetta against you). Similar to all the nigerian prince emails, why would they go for a target that is more protected, as opposed to going for any much less secured targets? Hence why they intentionally make their scam emails as obvious as possible, so that they know if the person took the bait, then they are super likely to follow through with the scam until the very end. No reason for fraudsters to make their own lives more difficult.

> The light/dark cycle of the sun has a powerful effect on the circadian clock, sleep, and alertness. If you understand these effects, you can manipulate light exposure to help yourself sleep better at night and be more alert during the day. Keep in mind your circadian clock uses light and dark signals to predict what to do in the future: when to prepare you to be active and when to prepare you to sleep.

Noon corresponds to light. Traditional time keeping has been built around light forever for reasons that are still relevant even though we now have plenty of artificial light. There is no reason why we cannot adjust when we work, keep places open, and share waking hours around the sun, but we cannot adjust the sun.
