Not everything can be measured with carbon emissions. For example, assuming the paper industry emits as much CO2 as the computing industry, does it mean they're equally polluting? Micro-electronics require hundreds of different chemicals/ore which means polluting many more extraction sites and using their local water supplies... then comes all of the ore refinement processes which itself requires considerable amounts of water pollution. Then of course, there's waste disposal which incurs even more pollution because to this day electronics aren't being recycled (because they're designed for performance/miniatureness not recyclability).

Overall, the IT industry has a much higher ecological impact.
Missing the point, which is that unless you can distinguish, then an action that stops low-skilled workers from getting through will stop those people whether or not they're doing it for fraud or because they're a genuine customer.

It's probably not their intent to stop the latter, but the effect is still discriminatory.
One thing I always wondered as a hedge fund guy was where all the reports of VC/PE doing badly went. You always hear about some hedge fund blowing up or having a terrible month, but I seem to never hear any bad news from the private markets world. In fact it's all "we returned 10x capital" which is pretty good even if it takes a few years, especially if there's no losses. Even Softbank seems to be doing okay considering the sheer scale of bad press.

Of course PE is a bit different to VC in the leverage, and might be a candidate for Minsky moments through the traditional credit spiral.

This essay gives a plausible alternative route for VC and clarifies what actually makes the spiral happen.

But for both I just struggle to think of many bad events other than WeWork, which hasn't even died.
Mitchell Baker made 2,698,800.00 USD in 2020 according to the IRS form[0] mozilla foundation filed, but not from the foundation but from the "related for-profit", i.e. mozilla corperation where she was and still is CEO as well (she is CEO of both, the non-profit foundation and the for-profit subsidiary at the moment). There is no such public IRS form available for 2021 yet.

Thanks for the response. I knew of this talk, and had delved into the code base years ago. I did not want to deal with that specific issue in the article because it diverted from the main discussion. My assumption this was a known aspect of the code base, from that talk to the security review Kubernetes received. Obviously it not a known, when I roll out an update to the webpage I will link to that fosdem talk.

In the old days, servers could still share data with third parties, so in that sense, there never was any way to be sure.
*flippant comment warning...

three things coming together:
1.things like sharepoint and powerapps getting better
2.more exposure to programming/abstractions/scripting in the general populous
3.widespead documentation / agreement of standard business processes (maybe in the form of templates for number 1)

underlying all of this is when people wake up to the fact that data and process matters, software doesnt.

there will still be developer jobs but they will look more like how infra jobs look under cloud computing - higher skilled, harder, bigger implications when you mess up.

There is value in a few amazing coders out there but IMHO most developers add most value by getting to know how to abstract thier particular customers business.

EDIT:formatting
No, this is not the way. The proper way to handle it is that each client trying to update the property tries to get a write lock on it; that write lock has to wait for any other write lock to complete, and if it can't get a lock it needs to let the client know it failed to update. At a bare minimum this is what has to happen to maintain any kind of data integrity.

But by all means, if you think it's basically a race condition any time you have ten clients trying to update the same row in a database and you don't care which one wins, you should be able to write a very compelling and unusual poker website.
I think we have to ask ourselves:

What do we want to achieve by protecting our online identity?

For me, escaping the pervasive tracking and profiling by FAANG is one goal. I'm sure that tracking me across the internet is a lot more difficult (not impossible) than tracking the average user. Hopefully it can't be done in an automated fashion. That way tracking me is hopefully just not worth doing just for a few advertising dollars.
I don't mean to imply it's Walmart workers stealing steaks, just that wage-suppression (which Walmart does engage in) causes widespread problems in communities which leads to situations where stealing steaks either to eat or sell becomes a viable thing.

If they (and others) started paying people properly, they likely wouldn't need to locking up steaks. Unfortunately it's cheaper for them to lock up steaks than do the right thing.
There is an interesting conversation to be had here.

Open source software requires that developers have the ability to spend time to contribute code. People need to get paid so they can support themselves, and as they get older, their families.

There are very few successful open source models, basically:
* advertising
* professional services related to the OSS offering
* enterprise licensing
* direct user support and contribution

Anything that is not one of these four models is either a student or hobby project, or is subsidized by the businesses that are paying the developers to contribute (either explicitly by hiring folks that work on the projects, or by employing and assigning people to work on features that eventually make their way back into the ecosystem).

If you don't support people getting paid to contribute to open source software, you are ceding the role of OSS developers to people in privileged positions, or demanding that they be paupers.

And in the interest of keeping the conversation non confrontational, folks suggesting patches shouldn't remove the UI elements from the code, they should provide a UI toggle to disable the nags; choosing to support the software or not, financially speaking, is an option for users, but be very explicit if the user chooses not to support it :)

Here's the result, using the ad/tracker sort:

https://imgur.com/CXrWsJr

It does say that there are ads and trackers on a variety of those. Though I see for example that it says 0 detected for espn, which is .. uh, dubious I guess. But then again privacy badger blocks nothing there so maybe it's correct?

It also says Twitter and Facebook have no trackers. I think that's technically correct, if they mean "third party" trackers. Difficult to say; I don't disagree with that approach.

> I've been meaning to write a small native GUI app for fun

Windows + Visual Studio Community + C# + WinForms = you can drag a button on to a panel, double-click it and edit the code behind, and start gluing a native app together in minutes.

The install is large, and the limitation of WinForms is that it's not dpi-aware and tends not to be resizable either, but the development experience is still pretty great. And if you somehow like the Windows 3.1 experience, all the C code from that era should still compile and run on a 2022 system. You can learn what a window procedure is; I believe people call this "immediate mode" GUI these days.

Oh, and as always, you can have native XOR portable.
No, because it's zoned for being a hotel. What's happening with AirBnB is completely different as you're having people (1) buy up existing housing to convert it to AirBnB and (2) it's not zoned for tourists. Believe it or not, tourists are considered in city planning, and that's why they have special zoning laws for hotels and hostels. What's happening is tourists now feel they have the right to 'live as a local', and that eats up the housing supply the locals would use, which is zoned for residential use. Thus forcing the locals out. To suggest hostels/hotels suffer from the same issues is to ignore the fact that they're often planned into the city to accommodate tourists, whereas residential housing is, well, for residents.
> Things that used to be air flights are now video calls.

I'm skeptical. What used to be a phone call is now a video chat, which arguably consumes more resources (more bandwidth = more infrastructure).

> Videotapes, DVDs and video stores replaced by efficient streaming.

This is entirely wrong. Efficient streaming uses peer-to-peer connections so if your neighbor has the video you're looking for you won't have to cross half your country/continent to reach a Netflix caching server. The cloud is the opposite of eco-friendly IT which is best represented by low-consumption services reusing existing devices/infrastructure.
> There's actually decent [...] nazis

This is literally impossible, you cannot be a decent human when you think others are subhuman because they are coloured a different shade from you. If you're willing to ignore that, that's your prerogative. But don't sell that as "well they're decent humans when you get to know them!" because this is fundamentally impossible.
SC2 is by far the hardest (in terms of time investment & deliberate practice) to achieve. The amount of practice required to not get demolished by 16-19 year olds in a PC cafe in Seoul was ...yikes.

Games like CSGO/OW, where teamwork above speeds viable for human to human communication is required, can often topple "individual rockstars" with superior team coordination (each member of a team reacts to an event within 150-350ms knowing exactly how their teammates will react, and this is executed in tandem). The biggest difference between Top .1% and professionals is very similar to the difference between good and excellent engineers in terms of organizational efficacy: while their individual raw skill levels may be quite similar, the ability to communicate / coordinate makes a world of difference. A well-oiled team, in gaming and in software, will almost always run circles around a disjoined one comprised of people who have an otherwise higher skill level individually.

The other insane anti-pattern I see in US cities is to have the bike lane directly next to on-street parking. So if someone parks and opens the driver's side door it opens directly into the path of any oncoming cyclists. Almost every regular bike commuter I know has a story of being "car doored" or at least having several close calls.

I lived in a dorm for 2 years in college. Not only did I not have a private bathroom, but I also had a roommate, so really I had no reliably private place at all. It was fine. I mean occasionally privacy would be nice, but I also enjoyed the increased sense of community in the dorms.

Maybe you'd hate this, but that doesn't make it a violation of human rights or anything.

Psychological stimulation is addictive?

DailyMail type press / alt-righty YouTube channels / etc etc are all very good at telling their audience that someone is out to get them - that their way of life is being judged by powers beyond their control & that they should be angry about it.

To be fair, I've also seen this from the business side. A great number of ill thought out unsuccessful projects, that are dispiriting to work on, as you know from the beginning that they will not be a success for concrete reasons, e.g. using an immature piece of software that doesn't support the features required.
> If you wanted whatever it was your grammar accepted

It is one-line, two-rule PEG grammar. What does it accept, and why? If we can't state this with confidence in such a tiny example, what makes us have any confidence in larger, more complex grammars? We should understand our tools. PEG pretends to be simple and understandable, but it's much less so than it might seem on the surface.
The rules for pedestrians haven't changed - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/rules-for-pedes...

The "rules" for cars (and cycles) have been clarified, not that most car drivers even know the highway code. Turning into a side road where a pedestrian is stepping out into the road is where a car must now give way. But then they always had to - the paint on the ground is the same that delineates lanes on a dual carriageway or motorway (single-dashed), and you don't have the right to just move into another lane when there's traffic already there.
In most of the cases you mentioned, that would be considered a handicap though. In such cases it's a failing on adding an accesability option or secondary option.

Among people, who aren't straight up unable due to handicaps, who couldn't solve them? It seems easy enough that mostly anyone could.

Well those folks experiencing silent hunger certainly aren’t getting the fish you’re promoting that we eat, so that doesn’t seem to be a good reason to continue doing it.

Human beings already grow enough food to feed the planet. In fact we grow enough food to feed to hundreds of billions of animals we slaughter every year. We could easily give up fishing and factory farming AND eradicate hunger, but it requires significant change to folks priorities and supply chains. It’s possible though, and we should work towards it ASAP

> The article sets out to explain the use of the term to allow more objective introspection but then only gives satirical examples. That's a bit disappointing.

The quotes in the article don't strike me as inherently satirical. They are an attempt to write in a completely distant fashion, applying the same anthropological rules to US culture from outside as they would any other strange culture.

It's just that modern media has so many examples of satirically exploring our own culture in this way that they inevitably read that way.

For example, in Bones, though Bones herself does not usually do it satirically, she does it earnestly; the satire emerges from the disconnect between her and her colleagues.

It may not be possible to do this sort of thing without evoking satire, but there are many attempts lately to encourage US readers to consider how, for example, the Trump era would have been described by US foreign correspondents if it was happening in another nation.

But then, almost anything reads like satire if you choose to read it as satire. Food packaging for example. "Serving suggestion"
> it is very common to see cyclists running red lights

This must be a cultural thing. I have seen two cyclists run red lights where I live in the past decade. I see motorists do the same thing every day.

> or cycling the wrong way down one-way streets.

I regularly see this happening on a quiet residential street. It's annoying, yet motorists also do the same. While this is a mistake in some cases, it is difficult to see how local residents doing so on a regular basis is a mistake. It also doesn't explain the people who zip along the road in reverse. (By that I mean they are moving in the wrong direction, but at least the car is facing the right way!)

If registration had anything to do with safety, roads would be much safer places. Motor vehicles are already registered, yet people are frequently maimed or killed due to unsafe driving. Some motorists feel free to harass or intentionally endanger the lives of cyclists. Yet police rarely do anything unless someone ends up in a hospital or a morgue. Why should we expect it to be any different for cyclists? If there is an expectation that it will change the behaviour of cyclists, wouldn't the double standard over enforcement reflect a form of harassment?

I am not claiming that cyclists are perfect. Far from it. They are people just as motorists are. They have their bad days. There are also some who refuse to respect the traffic regulations. But at the end of the day I consider the failure to reflect upon the dangers posed by far more dangerous motor vehicles and a desire to focus upon bicycles as ignorant, arrogant, or deliberate acts of malice.
This is only true due to bad protocols and network infrastructure. As long as ISPs have incentives to make Netflix go fast and the connection to your actual neighbors go slow, P2P can't take off. Also multicast networks could easily outperform cloud infrastructure in many setups, but something something business incentives.
