I can't imagine being surprised by this. Fundamentally, the true (teleological) purpose of carbon credit markets is threefold:

* Provide the public perception that Something Is Being Done about the looming threat of climate change while not actually forcing anyone to change anything in reality (aka "greenwashing")

* Enable a new class of speculative investment that can be used for profitable ends by the usurious class as they skim off the top

* Further shift the balance of power to larger corporations that can afford ESG sinecures and push policy so as to make it harder for smaller companies to meet regulatory compliance

The net result is not going to be much decrease in carbon - rather, if we are granting some amount of carbon credit to every area of land that presently absorbs carbon, we will just figure out a way to use it all up. Meanwhile, one can safely expect that this wealth transfer will be co-opted on the far end by all manner of corruption; the kickback schemes with this will be convoluted and inevitable.

The only actual solution to decarbonization is to actually make it make economic sense for individuals in the first world to not emit as much. This does not have to come in a form that enables countless others to skim off the top of the effort. Implementing zero-carbon electrical generation (e.g. nuclear) and getting people to switch to electricity-based energy consumption (from heat pumps to EVs) is the end goal regardless; a government with gumption and honesty would just do this directly rather than hoping some artificial "free market" will have the same result in a fashion where they cannot be blamed as quickly for failure.

Happened for a couple more guesses making me think there is another O eventually to realize there are no more spots and it’s a bug.

>It has killed more than 865,000 Americans

It looks like that's more Americans than have been killed in combat in all of the wars of the 20th century combined [1]

Granted it's less than the UK lost in WW1 alone, so it's perhaps more a testament to how few the US managed to loose in the world wars (compared to Europe), but it's still wild to realize.

“When last connected” is supposed to mean “if this phone is the last thing they were connected to when they were put away last time, connect to this phone when they are taken back out.” “Never” in that context would mean each time you put them in, you would have to go to your device and manually connect.

Of course if that’s not working, that’s a problem, but conceptually I think the options make sense.
No thanks, as a Google user, I’m happy that Google is descriptive.

Ideally, Google tells me what the page actually contains. I.e. if you title the page “Top TVs of 2022” and you’re reviewing cars, then it titles it appropriately. Google can’t do that right now, but every step closer is a good thing for me.

Old Internet was where the primary content was content.

Ads appeared as a curiosity in 1994 but didn't start taking over until around '96, which is when the ad networks started to become more industrialised with tracking and ROI metrics (of a sort).

New Internet is where the primary content is ads and behaviour mod. Virtually all big-reach content is only there to make the ads and behaviour mod work.

And of course the goal of Meta is to personalise ad delivery even further and make it even more intrusive and impossible to ignore.

This isn't just a technical difference. There's a huge difference in culture and motivation. Old Internet was about exploration, play, and sometimes debate. New Internet is about exploitation, driven by psychological and emotional manipulation.
True, I imagine that would be quite frightening and have a lot of data to support a number of initiatives that the population would vehemently disagree with.

Combining this rate with the rate seen by the article (rewritten 61% of the time, on the subset of 81,000 URLs they were interested in), I'd guess that some websites see a lot of rewrites and many other websites see none at all.

Not many ways you can convert crypto into money if the banks aren't in on it, or allowed to be in on it.

But for every other use of ethereum it is definitely harder to block, not that there are very many other uses right now.

This is a great post. When I moved away from the United States, and started to learn -- in earnest -- about other countries, I was surprised to learn about "freedom of speech" in other highly-developed, liberal democracies. Two specific things come to mind: slander/defamation/blasphemy and pro-Nazi (German National Socialist) material. Initially, I was aghast -- "Why isn't 'everything' allowed?". Over time, I began to understand that each nation and society needs to define their own version of "freedom of speech" -- and what it means to be a liberal democracy. As a good example: Read the Wiki page for Geert Wilders. He is a hateful person who says many dreadful, discriminatory things. More than once, he has lost court trials in Nederlands over hate speech. I recall once that he was fined zero euros. Complex! And, there are some nations where it feels like they voluntarily use "freedom of speech" less than Europe/US/CAN/AU/NZ/SouthAmerica -- like East Asia (Taiwan, Japan, South Korea) and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia -- don't get me started about Singapore!) And South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, etc.) are so culturally diverse and complex that I cannot begin to generalise.

You wrote: <<Technically true but the difference in how strong the laws are between Nordic countries and England is enormous.>>

I am sure you were thinking of a specific example when you wrote this post! Can you share it? It would be nice to learn.
I think it's more complicated than that because that trend has been going on for a long time with no connection to inflation or even supply chain snafus. Fixing it is going to require changing a thorny mess of policies constricting adequate housing construction, density, redevelopment, etc. and private investors piling into housing as a revenue stream. Housing really looks a lot like what you'd expect where there simply isn't enough supply for market forces to keep prices in check.
I really wish browsers would stop shrugging their shoulders at bad markup and display blank pages with errors in the consoles or even visible in the rendered page. It would force devs to clean up their act. But as long as 1 browser vendor doesn't do it, the end users will all just assume the strict browser is broken since there is another browser that does "work".
Obesity is a complicated disease that manifests through a variety of biological, behavioral, and environmental factors. These factors differ widely between individuals. I think there are mandates that could help make the disease less prevalent, but it is very much ingrained in our daily life, so I'm cynical as to the efficacy of such measures. It's very difficult to mandate behavioral (look at how many people don't even want to put a mask on) or environmental (think what foods are available in a region based on scarcity, culture etc - and yes this is a real factor in obesity) changes.

You're part of the second group I mentioned: the one that won't be computing much longer.

> Computer security really isn't THAT much of a nightmare for an average user.

"Average user" and "common idiot" are one and the same. Common idiots never see danger coming until it's too late.

> How many people do you know that got hacked lately, for any reason other than not using 2FA, or installing random garbage?

It's not about what has happened, it's about what easily CAN happen, and therefore WILL.

By the way, 2fa being forced down everyone's throat is not for your benefit. Notice how they never will allow you to use a voip number for 2fa? How could TPTB track your every move via GPS if you use voip?

> If you don't own cryptocurrency(That is more critical because it can't be reversed), you're probably way more at risk for physical theft than cyber crime.

LOL. Crypto is a scam. Bitcoin is going to crash to zero, and you're going to lose everything. Next TPTB will introduce their own Officially Approved digital currency, which is specially designed so that your account can be locked or restricted or emptied with the click of a mouse button, and so that you cannot possibly ever avoid any taxes.

You've got some tough lessons to learn about how the world works.

Meanwhile my use of physical, hard currency will keep me free and at liberty forever.

> In fact I think we are more secure than ever before because browser sandboxing actually works worth a crap, unlike 10 or so years ago.

If by "secure" you mean "in Google's firm grasp", you are correct. If you really meant "in control over your own computer", no, you are not.

> if you have attackers running as your user, you are already screwed.

You mean like the attackers you willingly give root access to your machine by allowing them to regularly stream arbitrary binary code to "your" (their) computer, and regular user access via metrics and update checks and every other sort of outgoing network connection on their schedule and not yours, any one of which could trigger a buffer overflow and code injection event? Yes, you are screwed six ways from Sunday.

Indeed, and I also sense a lot of Department of Healths at the state level will seek to track the yearly flu-shoot with this system as well. Not necessarily mandating it for public participation, but as a public health measure. The amount of productivity lost due to the seasonal flu is substantial, and the amount of data that can be gleaned from such a database is too tantalizing to ignore.
This is absolutely untrue.

AdMob Pro has the exact same license (https://github.com/floatinghotpot/cordova-admob-pro/blob/mas...) and I see no reason whatsoever why someone using a product named "AdMob Pro" would be unable to use it as free and open source without support, certainly the name of the product does not influence that.

The author has written their license poorly in a stupid manner that allows everyone to use their product for free - that's why lawyers are useful and why for small developers it's a very good recommendation to use one of standard licenses instead of trying to write their own from scratch. As of now, perhaps due to the author's legal incompetence, the license also allows free usage for commercial purposes.

Edit: In fact I already support a search engine with an independent index.

> But in TypeScript you can have as many Ord interfaces as you want. I may want to order some `User` type by last login, first login or whatever I want, but in Haskell you need to overcomplicate it and create a newtype.

I don't think that's accurate. Typescript only has one instance of Ord per type and it's inconveniently implemented through the method toString.

To usefully sort anything other than strings in Typescript, you are using a function where you provide your own comparator at runtime. That's more analogous to Haskell's `sortBy :: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> [a]` or `sortOn :: Ord b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> [a]` which don't put any type bounds on the type you're sorting.

Similarly, there's also "research" being done to decipher and understand Apple's hardware and software. It does seem like a waste of human brain cycles.
It was a side point, because it's always very rich people with iPhone 13 Max which are like "poor people should use 10 year old phones, but not me, I can't be seen on gram with that, I need credibility so I can speak out about the climate"

Modular phones were tried and were a complete market failure. Because they sacrifice thinness, robustness and water proofing.

Older standards are removed because they are not used anymore, so the bandwidth is freed for newer ones.

And "people don't really want it" remains just as true. Just like people didn't want small screens, until even Apple famously yielded.
This is ironic considering Russia and China are already quite authoritarian societies. China is especially heavy handed on the surveillance side of things.
Military contracting will always be frightfully hard.

Generals have to make judgement calls about what will work in the next conflict - talk about incomplete information - while the future enemy’s preparations and even identity is unknown. Then this has to be translated into something that can slot into existing military systems.

No, I didn't ask for a fucking GUI sudo with xml and javascript and local privilege escalation to root. I asked my computer to do something as basic as play sound, something that worked for decades without GUI sudo. Developers said they want to use pulseaudio for that. Whatever, if it finally plays audio without breaking every week. I don't have time to vet every package in every distro, and I didn't know it depends on a GUI sudo.

> If these libraries shipped with your distro, you asked for them.

If a bomb ships with a package you ordered, you asked for it.

Or maybe not? Maybe I didn't ask for it but a bunch of devs decided that (quoting you) "the users all want" it and I wasn't there to keep tabs on them.

And now that I know better, yes, I am looking for alternative distros because the ones I've been using include too many things I didn't ask for.
Can't say I agree.

I don't understand how you can say this in good faith. The state by state death rates were and are all over the map. Death rates seem to have far more to do with the prevalence of underlying conditions and some key decisions made regarding vulnerable sub groups early on.

To me, the "situation" is that `a[6]` is being assigned to. So I'd make the compiler ignore the situation, and omit line 3.

Then the compiler could optimize the remaining program, possibly by putting `a` into registers.

I think you have a different view on what the "situation" is, so that your view of ignoring it is different from mine (and CRConrads, etc).
