The most destructive California laws I’ve seen (prop 13, disbanding mental health care for homeless, etc) were pushed through by conservatives long ago. (For example, Ronald Regan made it essentially impossible for mentally ill homeless to get health care, regardless of public funding or even their own personal wealth.)

Silicon Valley types haven’t been in the state long enough to have voted for those polices, and are (in my experience) strongly against them.

There is some really dumb stuff happening now in the name of progressives (like a state mandate that all cities reduce the number of commuter miles the road infrastructure supports), but they’re thinly-veiled NIMBY regulations that prop up property values for our landed gentry.

Silicon Valley types leaving the state typically don’t hold their dynastic wealth by hoarding California housing.
> Arguing about how many people the earth can sustain is pointless without defining what kind of life you expect people to be living. How many billions can capitalism + western rates of consumption sustain and for how long vs a simpler way of life.

Not really, 10 billion "simpler way of life" people have huge catastrophic footprints as well. Farming being a major one. But the point was not to come to a precise figure and metrics, it's an unhinged kneejerk reaction to any suggestion that the population is not sustainable. Which it is not.

> and neither are all the people deemed excess by your world view,

This false ad hominem suggests you are one of the people my original post refers to.

_My_ world view deems no person "excess". It acknowledges a simple reality that our population is not sustainable and reducing it or limiting growth is critically important for the environment and makes all other environmental efforts simpler or less severe.

> which is probably the part people get riled up about.

No, it's not. They get unhinged about the idea that population is a serious environmental problem at its current levels let alone increased levels. The (baseless and unfounded) claims they make being that it's not a problem "because earth's carrying capacity is 50 billion people" or other absurd statements along those lines.
But what do I mean by being cynical? When you’re conversing with someone, it often easy to detect the frame through which they view the world and the interaction with you. Cynics think that the world is never changing on a fundamental level, but it only changes cosmetically, and superficially. Cynics may look at some new trend and call it “lipstick on a pig”. According to cynics, the world operates in a certain way, the elites are always the same, and will always be the same. The cynics think we are always playing the same game that has always been played. For example, a cynic may think that media’s only purpose is to sells your attention to advertisers - like I did here. And often they might be right.

What is wrong with that. I would rather be a cynic and have the correct framing of the world than be too optimistic and deluded. Success at investing for example requires looking at things objectively.

It is also just general reading comprehension, as the post begins with what appears to be a fairly accurate summary of the study:

All of which also mirrors stuff like plastic recycling and water pollution. Individual actions are so incredibly dwarfed by industrial actions that it's almost pointless. We need legislation, not feel-good individual ethics.

No it's not that at all actually. It's a plain head-in-sand denial of reality that I'm talking about encountering.

Same kinds of thinking cause the exact same kinds of knee jerk reactions, denialism, conspiracy theories, etc. when you suggest green house gas emissions are not sustainable and should be reduced too.

And I should say that you're wrong about that genocide assertion too. In most of the countries with the highest consumption and environmental footprints, populations are naturally in slight decline on their own. No genocide or suffering needed to reduce populations in those places.
> Moderns OS have a chain of trust

Which means the OS loaded what it was configured to load by someone with rights to the OS not that the anti-cheat controls the OS's chain of trust before it has loaded.

> On windows, the drivers starts and all drivers know the other loaded drivers, and they whitelist the drivers.

Unless you tell your trustfully signed (legitimately or via insecure mode and then hiding that with your cheat) anti-anti-cheat driver to load first in which case what the anti-cheat sees is whatever you tell it to see - just make sure it's 100% consistent with what a normal setup would report.

It'll get harder with Windows 11 anti-cheats mandating secureboot and TPM (I think Riot's was the first to announce these plans) but even that generation won't be infallible, just less feasible for something a normal user can realistically install and run to cheat in a game. Until the anti-cheat is loaded before Windows and is the only thing the bootloader trusts to load then the anti-cheat can never trust Windows chain of trust as it didn't see the start of the chain.
The difference between the "obrigado" in Portuguese example and the "me llamo" in Spanish example is that "obrigado" is probably an adjective while "llamo" is a verb. An equivalent Spanish example would be "estoy obligado" ("I am obligated" with male speaker) and "estoy obligada" ("I am obligated" with female speaker).

As an aside, I don't think Spanish has a word that's quite like "obliged". Maybe "endeudado", but that's just "in debt" and is not particularly about favors.

The bigger problems are still radiation and lack of (Earth) weight. For both we have ideas, some data and results, and both need to be addressed more. Other issues, like meteoroids on the way there and back again, or lack of resources, seem to be of a lesser caliber.

It's also so much more complicated than this. I've known more than one person who didn't act as a cynic, they outwardly preached and proselytized this sort of "change the world" viewpoint, in order to attract attention and twitter followers. In a professional context they wanted to play the part of a "visionary" or whatever, and always acted positive about change. Yet, if you really get to know them and manage to ask the right question in a vulnerable moment, you would suddenly realize that their internal worldview is just about as cynical as it's possible to be.
Thank you again for the informative reply. I saw two dbus-daemons running on my Ubuntu server; I killed the user d-bus daemon process running as me and nothing seems to break, so while it’s there, it doesn’t seem to be used by anything on my server.

While I do note that systemd man page, it goes in to no detail about how dbus leaks the environment.

Looking at the D-Bus specification [1], org.freedesktop.DBus.UpdateActivationEnvironment is the only thing which concerns itself about the environment. It says that the “session bus activated services inherit the environment of the bus daemon”, so it looks like the D-Bus leakage is any system-level environmental variables set when the D-Bus daemons are started, or any variables set using UpdateActivationEnvironment.

The concern here appears to be that system-level environmental variables aren’t safe. I don’t see anything about a user process setting something like export FOO="top secret password" being more unsafe than a chmod 700 or chmod 600 file.

I have already noted the various ways environmental variables can leak on this page:

https://github.com/samboy/rg32hash/blob/master/C/microrg32.m...

I will update the D-Bus information there based on what I read in the D-Bus spec.

I didn't know this story so I looked it up [0]. According to Plutarch, it's true: Caesar was captured by pirates in his twenties, and was insulted by their lowball ransom of 20 talents--he thought he was worth at least 50. He told the pirates they should up the ransom and that once it was delivered and he was freed, he'd have them all crucified. They thought it was a pretty good joke. He wasn't joking. Once free, he raised an army and a fleet and went back to the pirate's camp, capturing them and having them thrown in prison. Apparently he showed them mercy by having their throats cut before they were crucified, however.

Greenhouse (specifically carbon dioxide) specifically might be solved, because trees exist and are pretty good at what they do, but I absolutely do not believe that a 95% reduction in population would lead to a consistently-healthy world. I think you dramatically underestimate our ability to pollute in small populations. Consider how bad air pollution was in London during the 1700s and 1800s.

That's more the weakness of the 3rd than the 4th. The third movie felt like there was a whole volume between part 2 and part 3 that was missing - I get the appeal of telling the story from Shinji's perspective and starting in media res, but you can't just use terms like "failed infinities" and the "chamber of guf" without a little establishing context.

The 4th brings it back somewhat, but ultimately the finale is still the typical Eva "here's a bunch of religious babble half-explaining what happens overlaid with crazy imagery" which imho had its last hurrah in EoE.

Is the log4j vulnerability any worse in terms of potential length of consequences than 2014's Shellshock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellshock_(software_bug)), or the PHP-run-as-CGI bug (https://www.praetorian.com/blog/php-cgi-remote-command-execu...)? Both of those were extremely widespread, but active exploitation seems to have died out.

I'm sure that the occasional abandoned WordPress VPS falls prey to the PHP-as-CGI problem, but these "ubiquitous" vulnerabilities tend to get used up pretty quickly.

I completely disagree with this. This is the number one reason why I will not move away from a science believing/respecting area. I don't want the headache of people with lack of basic common sense on top of everything life throws at you. If the pandemic has taught us anything trusting science is amazing and that many people are willing to blatantly abuse it.
But the author doesn't say "don't only try to turn implicit knowledge into explicit knowledge", he says "you shouldn't even bother".

To me that sounds like a direct analog to "nobody will ever understanding everything about the source code without reading it, so we shouldn't bother with documentation".

Obviously we can't / shouldn't document everything, but creating documentation as you learn an undocumented legacy code base can be of great value (as can asking other developers to explicate their implicit knowledge).

Over and over the Author ignores the unexplicated but explicable and assumes that implicit knowledge is inexplicable.

Huh, interesting. I’m visiting Nashville from Seattle. There’s definitely not as much Asian/Fusion food or Indian food in Nashville, but overall there are tons more restaurants - just not Pho or chicken tikka masala everywhere.

I’ve spent some time in Nashville and visited Brentwood, Franklin, Nolensville, and further east towards Murfreesboro and Smyrna. In a week, I felt like there’s a restaurant metric you’d measure in some metric like restaurants per square mile. There’s just food everywhere, and even on a Monday night, restaurants are packed.

No disagreement at all obviously on the politics. IMO, Seattle is too liberal for me (you committed a crime? It’s okay. You’re actually the victim) while in TN they’re maybe an extreme on the other end. I will say though that politics aside, people in and around the Nashville are are waaayyyy more friendly. It’s not even a comparison.

I do see tons and tons of new construction in Nashville and surrounding areas. On the other hand, the liberal, equal rights and affordable housing/healthcare/childcare crowd is drowning in NIMBYism.
I don't know how this can be laid at the feet of progressives. It's mainly NIMBYs who oppose outdoor dining. Here in Portland, progressivism and anti-car, pro-biking/walking dogma has been hitched to the expansion if outdoor dining that in some cases shuts down whole streets, as another way of intentionally making it hard on us evil people who insist on owning cars. As a neighbor of one of the proposed streets to be shut down, who already deals with a lack of parking and a lot of drunk kids staggering around at 2am on Saturdays, I opposed the total street shutdown because while I'd love to live in Paris, I don't particularly want to live in Amsterdam. But the "parklets" in Portland have taken their place beside the many (wonderful) food cart pods, and definitely seem here to stay. Which is great. It absolutely saved a lot of struggling restaurants during the pandemic, and it adds another layer of life to the streets.
Or perhaps others disagree with that view? It's not complicated - some people liked the content enough to upvote it.
Right, I should have said that Jobs had extreme contempt toward Gassée.
My suburbia is trending the same way. Almost all new construction is on a lot of 5000 sq ft max. Most is closer to 3000 or multi-family. The trouble is that the old way of zoning still prevails and all of this semi-dense housing sits multiple miles away from the retail and job centers in the town. Everyone still needs one car per working adult, so really nothing of substance has changed.
Don't worry, you can make the argument that the exact opposite things happens vs. what I said. Make sure you're following a watch order than includes the movies instead of just watching straight through the last two episodes.
Cassandra was always right, and always powerless to change anything. If you are speculating (not investing) and nothing more, then sure, you only want to see what is.

If you're creating, executing, advising, or actually investing, anchoring on what "is" risks losing to competition that suffers no such limitations.

If you believe you have no power to change things, then it's a self fulfilling prophecy. If you believe you can change things, you might be wrong. Which game you prefer to play is up to you.
I love the bracelet idea, I might use that for other purposes.
If you were ever a depressed and lonely 14 year old kid, then yes. Watch the original TV series. It perfectly captures the isolation of being a young outcast full of hormones and mental health problems, mixed with a twisted cross-pollination of Japanese "monster of the week" giant robot Sentai framing and a biblical apocalyptic subtext. Watch the first 24 22-minute episodes, then skip the last 2 and watch the film versions of those "End of Evangelion".

A more recent version is the Rebuild movies (unrelated to the old finale movie EoE). The rebuild movies are beautiful and modern and tell a new story (after the first one which is almost a straight reshoot) but they just not as visceral as the original. They're called 1.11, 2.22, 3.33, and 3.0+1.0. Watch those after the original show if you're craving more.

Exactly. Many stores have been donating their recently-expired goods to nonprofits like Second Harvest. In one of the videos, she claims that the items were thrown away before they reached their expiration dates (maybe due to being left unrefrigerated?), but in other ones, you can clearly see that they have red tags on them, which looks like they were in some kind of markdown area. So I think there's more to this than what's being claimed by the OP's title.

I think this might be the key.

Have you heard this expression before:

Disappointment = expectations - reality

Unfortunately I'm not sure offhand where that saying originated, but I think it is true, at least for me.

>As for warning time, Amazon got between 11 and 21 minutes of lead time[1]. Enough time to walk a mile, or drive 15.

Tornado warnings don't have pinpoint accuracy. There is just high of a chance for tornado to touch down on your car on the road. Staying in an existing build's shelter absolutely is the right thing to do. No business/organizations send their employees out of the door when there is a tornado warning. THAT, would be corporate manslaughter.
It certainly does. An architecture isn't just about the ISA, but the culture around it too. The culture around ARM mobile phones and tablets heavily emphasized bootloader locking, which accelerated its spread to x86 too - which works contrary to the notion of openness.
