It's not only meat, it's everything - you name a resource and we've plundered, overexploited and or not bothered to recycle it. Add in exponential population growth and you've a recipe for disaster.

Every sort of remedial action we've taken to date has only slowed but not stopped the progression. Our attempts at rectifying things so far have been little more than tokenism - and we're still just pissing around the edges.

Pessimistic yes, but factually true.

Ever since Paul Ehrlich and his book The Population Bomb (1968) many have been circumspect about discussing population growth.

Too outspoken for his own good, Ehrlich hit a very raw nerve when he mentioned human reproduction and overpopulation together, as for many - perhaps even the majority - these are not only incompatible concepts but they simply don't compute for the very reason that the desire to reproduce is about as strong and fundamental as it gets. At this point logic flies out the window.

Most humans aren't ready to confront their guilt about adding additional environmental damage to the planet by having children
in the same light of their intrinsic (and very natural and overwhelming) desire to do so.

And who can blame them? Certainty not me (at last count I was found to be human too).

That's why such discussion is off the table.

This is very likely:

'It was not until October that the first plausible explanation for “The Year without a Summer” was suggested. Friedrich Bessel, a German astronomer, reported seeing thick clouds of dust in the upper atmosphere. He theorized that these dust particles screened portions of Earth from the warming rays of the sun. It was discovered that in April 1815, Mount Tambora, an Indonesian volcano, had erupted with such force that it had sent an estimated 100 cubic miles of fine dust into the atmosphere. Witnesses to the eruption reported that the sky remained dark for two days. The dust then rose high into the stratosphere, where it encircled the world for several years to come.'

'Skeptics in 1816 doubted that a faraway volcano could steal their summer. However, most present-day researchers believe Bessel’s explanation to be generally correct, demonstrating the global nature of weather. The dust in the atmosphere eventually settled, and the spring of 1817 was back to normal.'

From https://shsatsunset.org/answers/q55-the-year-without-a-summe...

(I don't know the original source.)

Bessel could quite easily have used his math skills to try to explain a local earthquake as a consequence of this eruption.

That's right. It's for co-decision, so the Council and Parliament jointly need to agree a final outcome. This vote does not 'ban targeted ads' so much as lay down a marker that the Parliament wants targeted ads banned as part of the package, and instruct their representatives to argue for it.

Anyway, breaking the workflow when switching tools is generally expected. It's a moment to review your assertions.
There are also other things beyond vendor lock-in which facilitate rent-seeking:

- Cronyism. The only way to get a big B2B customer for you SaaS product is if you are friends with an executive at a big tech corporation. Otherwise your chances are nil - No matter how good your product is.

- Regulatory capture. Big corporations have an advantage because they can use their connections to politicians to change the regulatory environment in their favor.

- Monetary capture. The monetary system reinforces the dominance of big corporations because they and their customers (from which their revenue is derived) have access to easy money from huge government contracts and banks (since they can borrow at lower interest rates than others).

- Limited liability. Corporations are legal constructs which are not liable for crimes (especially negligence) in the same was as people are. Corporations don't go to jail for example; they can always replace executives who have been committing crimes on their behalf, pay a small fine and keep going as if nothing happened. This creates an incentive for executives to commit crimes on behalf of corporate shareholders and then shareholders have an incentive to use their aggregate political connections to shield executives as much as possible from personal liability... They will throw them under the bus in extreme cases but then repeat and keep trying to normalize misconduct.

So with vendor lock-in, there are 5 factors which rig the markets - Each one is very powerful on its own but apparently still insufficient to keep the economy running as it is...

Unfortunately in this case, the UI/UX of LibreOffice not even comes close to MS Office's one.

Some FOSS products are that great, but if you come from MS Office, LibreOffice feels a lot like an early 2000's downgrade.

The compatibility and robustness of LibreOffice is excellent, but the UI/UX and something as simple as the default design templates that come with it, it's just not up to the level of MS Office, and customers do judge by that criteria.

I wish LibreOffice was up that standard, so there would be more consumer choice. I even tried LibreOffice as my daily driver for sometime, and I just couldn't stand it.
That's great, but using a load of poor countries to alpha test your new OS ideas seems a bit dodgy.

Street plowing is only really happening in the big Swedish cities and on highways anyway. On the countryside, everyone has studded tires on their cars, so they only put gravel on the roads.

Edit: As several answers point out, snow is being cleared, just not all the way to the asphalt. Which is what I meant as well, apologies if that wasn't clear.
If you own your own hardware, for a given service you probably have enough hardware for the production workload, plus maybe 50% more for dev, test, staging, experiments, etc. All those other environments will probably be scaled down versions. Sure, they can be used in an emergency situation, but they can't withstand the full production load, and anyway they're likely on a separate physical hardware and network (usually you want good isolation between production and test environments).

If you use AWS, then you probably on average use the same day to day, but in an emergency you can spin up 5 versions of full production scale to test 5 things at once, and just edit a configfile to direct production traffic to any.
> beliefs that a group of actors are colluding in secret to reach a malevolent goal

Given the subjectivity of malevolence, which I would scrap, that would fit cartels, think tanks, corporations, book clubs, political parties, pack of wolves, prison gangs and whatnot. Malevolence for some can be self-interest for others.

Of course it gets more arcane with some people and the study describes what many would expect. My former math teacher would eviscerate me for the diagrams and lacking legend though.

After 3 months, you can apply for a short-term visa to search for work for a further 3 months [0] or you can apply for residence without gainful employment [1].

To my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong please), the performance issues from WASM only exist in the context of moving things back into the DOM.
I was always of the understanding that WASM itself is super performant and if it's possible to run a WASM application without going through the DOM you'd get native performance, making it a valid choice for things like gaming.

Most devs would obviously still use unreal engine etc, but these engines will be able to give you improved performance of your games by utilizing WASM

Of course, my point here is mostly about the intentions. The intentions here are not to protect children, as that would make very, very little sense.

I even abstract from both reasons of why the intent might be lacking. Are they outright evil? For example, are they using this as a deception to either push their own projects or even to sell real estate to these government efforts? Are lawmakers amoral? In the sense that they utterly don't care what they do, just how it'll be received. Or are they dumb/deluded? I imagine it's a combination of all 3 in reality.

It's just that maybe some of the lawmakers involved are deluded about what this does, but that's the most charitable interpretation possible.
I don't understand the dichotomy here - don't you use different equipment to clear the sidewalks than you use to clean the roads? Sidewalks are usually too small for street size plows.
The puzzles are interesting but I'm not sure how much they overlap with the field of linguistics in general. They seem better described as problems in computational linguistics.

In all the questions there is the implicit assumption that the grammar of a language is based on a set of rules that can be reproduced and reapplied. This is hardly the case with natural languages, which, rather than sets of rules, are more like vast sets of exceptions to very few rules. While tools such as statistical analysis have been succesfully applied to analyzing languages, expecting linguistics to work like mathematics seems unnecessarily limiting.

To illustrate with an example, think of a similarly-constructed problem in English. Can you correctly deduce the missing words just by reproducing the patterns below?

ox - oxen / box - ?

mouse - mice / grouse - ?

dish - dishes / fish - ?

Separately, there's also the broader issue that languages are primarily what we speak, to which the writing conventions are secondary. In these examples, we're only looking at how things are written, which is yet another filter that gives an incomplete view.
Can facebook still target any content based on anything? In other words only outsiders are are restricted from buying some of the manipulation power of facebook but not fb and its strategic partners?

that's indeed very likely if they're using standard versions of their respective languages.

I'm looking into learning a new programming language or framework. I have only seriously worked with Javascript/Typescript for the past 6 years.

Sadly that seems to be the norm in Scandinavia. Oslo has the same problem (although they don't even try to prioritize sidewalks). They simply plow the bulk of the snow off the sidewalks and they might lay down gravel. It leaves significant slick spots and really you're just counting down the days until you take a tumble.
It will be interesting to see the higher order long term effects of the policy. For example if snow plow drivers (men?) typically reach their vehicles by car they may only start their work delayed due to slower traffic. So it could be a net negative.

But definitely an interesting experiment to try!

>This sort of began when we all got the impression that software should be free, or that we pay a low price once and get indefinite free upgrades.

Blame the victim?

We din't get any impression, as we don't set the prices. The companies set those prices.

For example Adobe customers never got or set any impression that "software should be free/low price". They paid 100s to 1000s of dollars for each update or package respectively, and they still got the mandatory subscription (and were some of the first users to be hit with one).

>How do you achieve super cheap products made by people making super high pay? Money doesn’t just materialize out of thin air to make that work.

We don't want "super cheap products", we want reasonably priced products we own after we buy.
Dump these sorts of products and use FOSS replacements instead, preferably ones licensed under the AGPL so that SaaS-ification doesn't take us right back to where we are now.
