I don’t think that’s correct either. The undeveloped world is improving well and it’s way better now than 50 years ago with projections for continued improved standard of living.

Climate change is making this harder, but most of the undeveloped world today is going to be much better off in 100 years in terms of disease, war, and opportunity.

So making catastrophic statements like this are as credible as saying that vaping is going to kill kids.
> You know what the world was like when the developed world acutally intentinoally supressed the under developed world? Slavery and the slaugther of millions, colonizers forcing people to work on their land and not get the benefits of their People getting their hands cut off if they didn't work enough in the slavers mines.

You really ought to look at what France is currently doing in Africa. If you want to disagree with the parent that Africans or those in the developing world are intentionally oppressed, just because millions are no longer slaughtered is no mitigation of their point.
We have an aluminium Bialetti, but I really hate the feel of the aluminium after a while; I touch it with my fingers but I feel it in my teeth, I honestly can't stand it, just thinking about it puts my teeth on edge.

Long story short, we bought a stainless steel version, and I love it so much. Probably made 3,000 coffees with it, and it's almost as good as the day we bought it. No a single part replaced or damaged.

Yes, and it can't be ignored.
A carbon tax is universal

I don't get your whining on the middle class.
Everyone can strive for a climate friendly life style.
This generates a demand on a big scale, thus also solutions.

A dividend would help people having not much money and still need to use carbon intensive products (until there are alternatives), because they have a small footprint anyways

Do you think the natural game theoretic result might be "carbon havens"?

Areas that have the worst carbon enforcement / corruption (so issuing certificates to avoid tariffs etc without real action) would be more competitive than areas with effective enforcement so they will attract the most manufacturing.

I don't think importing from countries without a carbon price will be a problem (border taxes seem like they can work).

I suspect the problem will be that for countries that DO set a carbon price it is in everyone's interest within that country that the system not actually be effective.

No, Google has per-country versions… which in turn support different languages. My preferred language is always English but Google normally redirects me to “Google Argentina” (.com.ar, in Spanish by default) from the .com based on my IP and I have to fight it to switch back to English. In some platforms / scenarios this means clicking on a “use google.com” link (or setting it in my Google settings), and in others I never managed to fix it. Google is a very frustrating case because it forces a redirect trying to be “smart” and there’s no way (I know of) to explicitly indicate through the URL that you want the default and not the regional variation.
If you would like to add all these FISH things to ZSH:

- file/dir highlighting

- commands coloring and stuff

Then check 'UPDATE 1' from here:

I can not use FISH as it does not honor the POSIX syntax for loops and stuff and I often type 'for' and 'while' POSIX loops at command line so I use ZSH. Besides that FISH is really nice shell.

Actually this is true, I live in Brazil and European countries really try to dictate what we can and cannot do with our Amazon, nobody should interfere in our internal affairs, that region is the most underdeveloped region of Brazil because nobody has courage to face European lobbies.

Also, is clear that the anti-petro propaganda will slow down the growth of poor/developing countries.

It's only a better strategy if your goal is to increase the wealth and power of the largest entities, i.e. corporations and the rich. If your goals include "popular" ideas like human rights and a non-polluted biosphere, then it can be better to make market participants share their power with elected politicians.

Median salaries are actually quite bad. It's not worth joining most careers unless you can reasonably hit top 1% or be around top 10% within a few years.

But being a mediocre IT person is far better than being a mediocre welder. So if your kid has no passion for anything, let them at least get a job they hate that pays better. But if they aspire to be a top 1% novelist, let them.

Does that mean they'll be happy? Hell no. The HN community consists of people who are great at their jobs but hate them. We complain about too many JS frameworks but the mediocre programmer out there hasn't figured out how to not store passwords in plaintext.

Someone out there who can be a best selling novelist will probably still hate her job, but again, she's getting paid well, and probably happier than being a starving mediocre programmer.
I want to challenge an implicit assumption there - that someone can control their own life to the point where it is all quiet, comfortable and easy.

That isn't in tune with reality. Maybe a lot of people are lucky enough to experience a life where nothing goes wrong - I doubt it - but there are a lot of disasters in the world where a life can just fall apart. And if you love anything, you're going to lose it and that will really hurt. The options are basically suffering or a monk-like abstinence from emotion and attachment.

Someone having a chaotic, even shambolic, life doesn't disqualify them from giving life advice. That is just normal. The best and worst of us have objectively horrible existences filled with disasters. Most people don't talk about the sheer number of things that go wrong because it makes for distressing chit-chat.

Peterson does good work in being open about some of that stuff. That is part of why he is popular.
Personally, the amount of substances I need to consume in order to enjoy a party is inversely proportional to the quality of the party.

I hate hedges. Selfishly.

It is great for animals and birds, probably good for farmers, but suck for people.

I live in South England, in Hampshire, in the South Downs, which is full of undulated countryside full of fields with hedges.

It is pretty. But also I never see any of it as the massive overgrown hedges blocks all views. And make it unnecessarily dark. I might as well live in a city or suburbia. Apart from in the winters when the leaves are gone it is bearable.

I have lived in other countries with none to minor fences by paths and roads. And I have also lived further north in England, in the Peak District, which use more stone/rock walls which are not that high. A drive or even better a bike ride is then wonderful. And not dangerous as you can can see when a car comes the other way round a sharp corner.

We need to be wary of counter-productive moralising:

> the rich will be relatively unaffected and can continue polluting

If the tax revenue is spent on cleanup/offsetting/etc. then that doesn't matter. That's the point of the tax.

In fact, if the tax is set slightly higher than the net cleanup cost, that (a) acts as a disincentive (rather than just 'cost of doing business'), and (b) we would want the rich to pollute even more, since they would be paying to clean up more than just their own mess.

For comparison: I take care to avoid making a mess at home, since it would take me a lot of time and effort clean up. The rich can just throw money at cleaners. Now imagine that some Global Cleaners Union sets the price-per-hour of cleaning to cover 61 minutes of work; those extra minutes are aggregated and spent on charitable activities. In such a situation, we would want the rich to make more mess.

> Such a regressive tax, levied on basic things like energy, fuel etc. that are fundamental to normal life seems incredibly likely to trigger political unrest as we saw in France.

This is mentioned in the article:

> In the UK, carbon dioxide emissions are less than six tonnes per person per year, plus two or three tonnes more to reflect the carbon footprint of imported goods. A £100/tonne tax that covered those emissions would raise the cost of living by just over £2 a day, and cover more than 5 per cent of UK tax revenue. That’s not nothing: the government would be wise to send everyone a monthly lump sum in compensation.
On the other hand if you can't get the common man out of their polluting activities then you aren't going to solve the problem.
Nature is not a person that has emotions and will be fine with any amount of carbon -- 200 million years ago there were no icecaps and it was a flourishing time for life, with 2000 ppm carbon in the air as well as huge amounts of other greenhouse gases and it led to an explosion of life.

We are talking about adopting policies that promote human flourishing, and I guarantee you that rising fertilizer prices and fuel prices will kill many more people than rising sea levels. It's just that the people who die of rising fertilizer prices live in Africa and India, not NYC, LA, or Miami.
This claim is in the same category of Al-Gore's response that Artic Ice would vanish by 2020.

This isn't the problem. The problem is the lack of algebra in 8th grade.

It's also schools that won't look at far more successful schools in Europe and Asia and how they reach higher standards. The "invented here" education ideas are stupid. If you want to succeed the look at successful programs.

> because there's so few of them that it won't matter

What do you mean?? Literally, you could redistribute billionaire/millionaire wealth and it would be more useful than taxing the average person tens/hundreds of euros more, when they can barely afford to survive.

In fact, ongoing taxation that reduces the loopholes that elites get away with, would be even more beneficial.
1) Tax carbon at the source - yes, that means every oil well and coal mine pays a whopping great tax before any fossil energy leaves the front gate. Prices will adjust all the way down the supply chain

2) Use this huge income source as global helicopter money, the dividend every person in the world gets from allowing other people to destroy their global shared ecosystem

3) Create various green energy projects into which citizens can invest their dividend

4) Planet does not become unliveable mad-max hell within our lifetimes?

Promoting Learnings in Incidents
This is so true. There's a lot of hype surrounding "programming" jobs and a frankly bizzare push to get everyone into one. I think it's incredibly damaging to effectively tell children they haven't "made it" unless they can code. From my personal experience, there's very few truly interesting or particularly profitable jobs in computer science and they take a huge investment to get there - maybe 5% of people with CS PhDs get to actually do something interesting. No, that 1 week scam coding bootcamp isn't going to get you anywhere anymore than you can learn a programming language from one of those 24hr books. Everyone else is doing mind numbing repetitive tasks that often don't even involve writing code after training (testing/data entry etc.).

I personally love computer science and have since a young age, but the career as a whole often isn't particularly meaningful or profitable. I'll do it anyway, because I love it. Objectively, there's much better things I could be doing. Previous generations had the same obsession with their children being lawyers and bankers (although I believe they probable are at least quite lucrative). Hopefully one day we'll learn and let our children be what they want to be. I'd hate to think we might be disuading some aspiring surgeons for example, with the promise of being wealthy "rock star programmers", only for them to end up in an unfulfilling job in data entry.
> The 2-pot Bialetti I have takes a long while to heat

Do you put cold water in the bottom thingy and heat it up on the stove? When I started using moka pots, I read that you should put pre-boiled hot water in there and then put it on medium to low heat on the stove. Even with that I still find it a bit too quick sometimes.

If you're able to inject SQL, and the return value of the SQL query is not directly displayed to the user, you may use a timing-based side channel to exfiltrate data.

E.g. in order to exfiltrate the string "Test123" you would go character-by-character, starting with the first character "T". For each ASCII character you would wait 10ms, as "T" is ASCII #84 [1] you'd sleep() for 84*10=840ms. This sleep() can be measured from the attacker side because the SQL query will block the HTTP response.

This way, without "seeing" a result, the attacker is able to return data.

Overcoming Data Silos
I never suggested anything of the sort.

I would think a reading of history - ie the book "How Asia Works" has a lot of material on this - shows that there is a hybrid model where intervention of the govt is needed to "steer" the direction of things in order to ensure sustainable income and economic growth. I highly recommend reading that book for an alternative history on how Germany, Korea, Japan and China have succeeded while the West has mostly stagnated.
In terms of access to poor people...maybe. In the UK trades jobs can be picked up and pay well if you work hard and have an aptitude. Factory work paid very well for skilled / semi-skilled workers AND had good benefits. Anyone can access programming as a career, but not so easy to access accountancy/finance/law etc.
To be fair to the kids, Germany is still a capitalist country, and if food prices go up, people (including kids) at the bottom of the social pyramid will go hungry.

Obviously, that's a political choice. States can have free school meals as a easy target for budget cuts, or as a cornerstone of their responsibility towards child welfare. That'll still be true even if we hit 2 degrees of global warming.

The point is, given the way politics works at the moment, it would absolutely not be surprising if children were dying of starvation in Europe in a future of catastrophic global warming. In the UK, the number of children admitted to hospital with malnutrition in 2020 was almost 2,500. Obviously, the UK is an extreme case, but you can imagine in a state of extreme crisis, food supply shocks, and displacement (wildfires, etc) this could become endemic in europe in general.

wars caused by climate change, or wars caused by actions taken (in good faith) against climate change?

I believe there is a risk that the current activistic climate movement will do similar harm to the society in general as the last decades aggressive movement to liberalism in the "west part" of the world. The liberalistic movement is like running with a rubber band - it will force the societies to become repressive. I hope I'm wrong, but the climate change movement will similar cause (negative) unplanned effects..
One problem with google is its ridiculous, and absurd word substitution.

This started more than a decade ago, with things such as 'Bob" being aliased to "Robert". Back then, before the annoying Google Plus came onto the scene, the + could be used to insist that a word is never aliased, always present in search results.

This was deprecated due to conflicts with Google Plus searches for name+ or whatever, and half-assed replaced with 'use quotes they're the same', which of course they are NOT the same. Google just gives slightly higher precedence to quoted text, and will chose to ignore its existence and alias if required.

Thus, 'verbatim' search was created, under a hard to find menu item, doesn't work with things such as date matching, isn't available until after you search, and is only a partial replacement for the now missing + (which only did one word).

These days, google auto-aliases everything. Debian is aliased to ubuntu, and others. dhclient is aliased to dhcp (due to dhcpd/dhcpcd), and on and on, so searching for the precise thing is only even remotely possible with verbatim.

Of course, verbatim itself often breaks now, randomly still aliases things, and is just a PITA to use.

The reason behind all of this, is voice search, plain and simple.

How can you search for 'here' 'hear' via voice, without aliasing? Even searching for 'tanya' via voice, means people might want 'tania' 'tanyah' or whatever other close sounding word is the case.

So, google continues to destroy search results for those wanting precision, because google thinks the code should be the same.

One of the richest companies on the planet, can't manage a few extra coder cycles, pulled away from whatever advertising scheme they're working on, to slap in a few if statements for 'text' or 'voice' differentiation.
