It agrees to negotiate on various trade and territorial issues, which apparently fell through, but that doesn't invalidate its terms.
> Using flash for a website animation was never a good choice, at least not for the end user.

And yet Flash persisted across the web, until a giant like Apple decided to de-platform them in favor of its own lock-in solution.

Consumers for the most part have no idea what tech lies under the hood for the websites they visit.
> Not saying they do not happen, just that I can't recall any. Do you have some examples?

You're gonna have to search for news from those countries instead. Try "нарушение воздушного пространства россии" on yandex, or "侵犯中国领空的行为" on baidu. English news hardly ever write about English-speaking countries violating other countries airspace, while the opposite is true too, you won't find news about Russians violating other countries airspace in Russian news.

60% of new generation is a good start but it should be higher than that. We also need to retire more old generation and upgrade our transmission lines / grid infrastructure for more efficient use of energy / lower our energy losses. Any major non-renewable investment stands to be at least 20 years of pollution before being retired unless it becomes financially ineffective.

Why build more when we have cost effective/low pollution energy available and we know that the costs of climate change are only increasing. It's a ridiculous economic bargain.
Yet they laid off nearly 100 us based support reps.

5.4B is more than a 100 years worth of wages for those laid off.
Yes, hydrogen comes with its own challenges, but batteries and hydrogen are synergistic. Each covers the weak point of the other. Most of the energy stored goes through batteries (efficiency), while most of the energy storage capacity is in hydrogen (capital cost). So the system ends up being cheaper. You do not actually increase the needed generation all that much, because most of the stored energy is still going through batteries, not hydrogen. And in particular, unlike the only-battery solution you don't need to ludicrously use batteries for seasonal energy storage or rare event backup.
Is this like Peppa Pig teaching racist because animals may be inter-species friends but never intermarry. Or the Good Dinosaur where each group can enjoy each others company, but they must go back to their kind.
Now we know exactly why that doesn't work.
They can do that already.
If I knew this was my last day alive, I wouldn't be here sitting at work. Living every minute as if it was your last is actually pretty difficult to do. Or perhaps it means coming up with the understanding that it's not worth your time to stress about work. Just do the work and focus on what makes you happy. Maybe even quit and live a simpler life with less income? But you usually have houses to pay, kids to raise... it can become a prison of its own kind. There's always some magical reward waiting just around the corner, be it retirement, kids moving out, when you can finally focus on yourself again. How does one truly live every moment like it was their last?
Peppa Pig is clearly somewhat authoritarian. Peppa has to do what Doctor Brown says, or else; likewise, Peppa needs to do what her parents say, and what her teacher says… What have they done to earn that authority? They've had it as long as Peppa has been alive, and will likely continue to do so forever.

Baby Shark is anarchist: “Baby Shark do do do do do” has no unjust hierarchies. It's not libertarian, though, because “sharks eat all the other fish” seems like a violation of the Non-Aggression Principle. (Then again, the sharks don't eat other sharks, so maybe there's a libertarian shark society that just doesn't consider the other fish to be people.) It's also anti-capitalist: “Baby Shark do do do do do” has no money, and no corporations. This places it in the lower left corner of the political compass.
I'm sure it has something to do with using ad blockers and other extensions. I don't use Firefox for its cutting edge speed so I didn't really think too much of it.
> Your perception of religious people is outdated, ignorant, and generalizing. Should we not let any tradition modernize? Should all tradition and culture be discarded because it was once done differently at one point in time?

You can't simultaneously claim that it's valuable because it's a tradition but my perception of it is outdated. Either you're practicing traditional religion - in which case you need to stand by the literal meaning of your religion's teaching. Or you're practicing something new, at most loosely inspired by past religious practices - in which case your new practice should be evaluated solely on its own merits, which are limited to say the least.

> No one is trying to claim anything, they are practicing their beliefs that make them feel good.

Doing something because it makes you feel good is not an approach with a good reputation (indeed it's something religious people often vigorously oppose). If it's just a set of practices and not a factual claim, why do you care about other people pointing out that it's not factually true?

> Or you can keep judging something you know nothing about and generalizing billions of people.

Ironic to accuse me of judging or generalising while falsely and ignorantly claiming I know nothing about religion - I guess it's fine for you to judge and generalise people you know nothing about, hmm.
There is anti artillery radar, i.e. radar that helps position artillery so you can counterattack with your own artillery, drones etc. But it requires your own offensive capability.
I don’t think the algo had an ideology lean though. It just showed you more of what you’ve already watched. Also not great.
Oh the irony. You've dug up a truly horrible comment that Slashdot's own moderation system hid and then shared it to a far larger audience than even unflagged content on Slashdot threads get by posting its direct link to a higher traffic site.

And apparently you've done this out of a belief that such comments shouldn't be discoverable, even by those observing a record of moderation decisions.

Are you similarly upset by HN's "showdead" option? Will you be sharing some truly objectionable comments from here on a large social media account?

They perform incident response and forensics for organizations that are compromised. Incident response is the highest bill rate infosec consulting you can do. It requires travel (used to, still does some today) and decently high technical skills.

There is a blurry line between "new use case" and "more of the same old", I believe.

In transportation for example : cheaper fuel makes it easy to import exotic fruits from far away (avocado?). It is arguably a new use case : we did not eat those fruits before. On the other hand it does somewhat replace some local food (assuming we ingest the same amount of calories).

I did sometimes turn normal incandescent lights by day when I feel the light is too low. Now the threshold for "too low" seems to move slightly.
Neither of your statements is true. Mixed use developments are extremely popular and are growing, at least in urbanish areas. And NYC famously has them mixed, with restaurants/shops in the bottom and housing on top. A lot of tv shows were filmed around that. Heck, a former president lived in a tower with his name on it where the lowest floors were all ssholping and restaurants

In fact, I'm trying to remember the last proposed development I saw that wasn't mixed use, unless it was a 5 minute walk from a shopping district. Well, except for the suburbs.
vcpkg is quite good too. The manifest mode works really well and lets one succinctly describe their products dependencies.
Li-Ion has dropped in price to the point where it is cheaper than lead-acid. To come up with a realistic lifetime cost you have to factor in:

- Cycle count (lead-acid ~500, li-ion 1000-3000)
- Usable capacity (lead-acid 50%, li-ion 80%)
- purchase cost (lead-acid $n, li-ion > $n)

I'm about to over-generalize, but to get good lifetime out of your batteries, you only discharge lead-acid to 50% of its rated capacity, whereas li-ion has good cycle life working between 10-90% state of charge. You have to buy more lead-acid than you do li-ion to get the same usable storage. Then, your lead-acid batteries will degrade significantly after 500 charge-discharge cycles. The li-ion batteries will tolerate 2-6 times more cycles before significant capacity loss.

Environmental friendliness is sort of a wash. Lead-acid is more toxic, but recovery and reuse is like 99%. Lithium is less toxic, but recycling is difficult.

So did you think it's practical buy a soccer stadium well-exposed south space and spend the money of a supercar just to be able to munge few more W in cloudy days? Of course also counting snowy days when you still get 0 output + you eventually need to clean-up your panels?

Beside the willingness and the price, who many in the world can do something similar? Especially in EU where most people live in dense city, so apartments?
It was briefly a touch point for the insane edges on either side of the spectrum that need to log off twitter a bit more often. The ultra-right was convinced liberal cancel culture was going to take it away from our kids. The ultra left saw it as a symbol of the police state. Meanwhile, most people don't give the show a second thought unless they have an 8 year old.

It's wild to see horse shoe theory play out over something so silly.

Did you read the last IPCC report? There are many denialist press articles, but there are also many alarmist press articles.

Some sanity checks:

* What is the expected increase of the sea level in 2100 compared to 2022?

* What is the usual difference between the high tide and the low tide in you city? (Or the nearest city with sea, or you favorite vacation beach)

Also, remember that a lot of things will change before 2100. It's difficult to guess, but we can compare with the world 80 years ago. No transistors, only a few huge low capacity computers with vacuum tubes. Only wire phone. No nuclear, solar or wind electricity generators.
> There can be no NATO intervention without triggering WW3. Any sanctions left would be oil which the economy of most western countries likely cant stomach.

I wonder how you picture NATO intervention without WW3, could you explain? IMO Nato intervention means a military confrontation between NATO and Russian forces.

Also I don't agree with your second point. 'Any sanctions left' here means actually more than the entire packet of sanctions that the West has taken so far. The West spends hundreds of billions each year on Russion gas and oil. Sanctioning this would seriously hurt the Russian economy and Putin's war chest.
Yes, it would also hurt the European economy, but surely many magnitudes less than a WW3.

I recently discovered Glide Apps [0], which takes an spreadsheet-first approach to no-code app development, and it's totally changed how I understand programming concepts. I know HTML/CSS and just enough PHP for WP sites, and not much else. But seeing how data in Google Sheets visually populated specific field containers in my app UI got me looking into the Fetch API for JS, which allows me to do the same thing using JSON.

That paints a veneer of effortlessness over everything that I don't much care for. Sure, we could in theory trace back our every impulse to some preceding energy or interaction, but it doesn't much help in the moment when you're trying to push hard to get done that last mile of your run. Even if the universe already knows if you're going to fail or not by the end of the run doesn't mean you do nor should you accept the easy result in the moment.
I've seen plenty of product engineers not understand this fundamental aspect of queues and just add them because it "felt right" or "for scale" or something silly...

I think one of the comments sums up the issue perfectly:

> Come to San Francisco, ask me or any of my long-time neighbors if we feel safe? We will talk your ears off. The data calestenics you've done means zilch.

This essentially comes down to "I feel unsafe, your data be damned." Feelings do matter, but we don't make laws depending on what the media is trying to make people of the city feel like.
Your "the suburbs" dismisses most small cities and large towns in the US.

Reminds me of whoever it was that bootstrapped a "fact" into Wikipedia "truth" by ninja-editing some obscure public figure's wiki page with a fabricated piece of trivia just as they hit the headlines for whatever reason, which made it into a published (if hastily researched) article about the figure. Then when a Wikipedia editor reverted the edit, they re-added it, citing the article as a source.

This is as good time as any to introduce parents to [0]Blippi whom, apparently, kids adore. He is also known as Steezy Grossman, who among other accomplishments, pooped on his friend when [1]harlem shake was the rage.

EDIT: it's interesting that majority assume that my post was negative of Blippi. Personally I would not want my children to watch any adult pretending to be a child as a main source of entertainment (or education?). I thought his history, which he himself appears to be ashamed of, was interesting and an example of how you never know who really is behind the tube.

> best possible outcome at this time is that this war is ended as soon as possible even when this means handing a few victory points to Russia

why for the love of god would the West support Russia and not the wishes of the Ukrainian people?

I don't understand this reasoning and have even heard it among some of my ultra-religious friends or extended family members. None of them has any skin in the game other than steep gas prices and lot of fear, so they just parrot "war is bad please stap!". But none of them contributes how that would impact the people. If you force them to comment it always turns out to be a trolley-problem that they have pulled the lever on for others: with silly arguments like we must do it because "claiming 100K dead people is still better than 10MM".

And this is where this hypothesis gets hairy because that decision is easier to make for others but a lot harder to say: "I and my partner with 2 toddlers will volunteer to be in the pool of those who die."

I'm only speaking for myself but there isn't a thing in the world I wouldn't do if I'd have to defend my own family even that means wiping out half of humanity. If I'd think very hard about I'd even wipe out part of my own blood to ensure survival of my own offspring. Luckily this is only a hypothetical scenario. Sure I'd never recover from it emotionally or psychologically but it is what I would do. This is obviously flippant and hypothetical but no better way to illustrate the hypocrisy at play here.

Edit: The only part I agree is the rest of the world will be massively hurt by it too. Egypt, Tunesia, Yemen, etc are totally screwed as it's the biggest consumer of UA/RU grain https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/mar/07/w...

> The islands are barely inhabited.

It's not about the inhabitants, it's about the 200 nautical mile radius around the islands that becomes yours for economic purposes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_economic_zone
I do something far shorter: heating water in the sunny days to have it in the cloudy ones, but that's definitively far from sufficient for heating the entire house and to scale at the entire house needs well... It's cheaper run on grid electricity, even these days.
The first country on that list is Australia.

Does anyone here think Australia is more polluted than say India?

And also all the top countries in that list are all part of the more developed world, where pollution levels in general are much less than say other parts of the world.

While pollution might still be an issue it could also be that people living in developed countries have more access to healthcare and so their detection rates are higher.
And would that include whaling? If so, I'm opposed to this and hope the islands stay with Russia.
Russia proposes nationalising foreign-owned factories that shut operations
That was a reasonably good summary. In general suspect anything that is foreign in nature( eg. plastics) to be harmful. The bar to deem them safe must be really high. Of course everything natural need not be safe either ( example green potatoes)

One important thing to add: Vegetables are not the super food that they are made out to be, and red meat isn't a carcinogen, It's the opposite. Good quality red meat is one of the superfoods and vegetables must be carefully chosen/cooked to negate their bad effect.
Why does it have to be all or nothing? Why do you think putting up superblocks necessitates tearing down every single other block? Why do you think this gets rid of suburbs and low density housing outside of the city's core?
Environmental impact is way more complex than carbon emission. Stop focusing on carbon emissions.

It was proven over and over again, that the more you give to Russia, the more they will take next time. We have to stop them now or never. War is already on going between Russia and the west (Putin himself and his chief of spies already said, that they deem sanctions akin declaration of war), hiding from this fact won't help.
It would be interesting to hear from somebody in the Chrome group how they deal with this conflict of interest.
> Being on this planet for a limited time period makes it more important to make the right choices, because we have only one life.

The thought may be freeing to you, but many others become paralysed by it, obsessing about “the right choices” at every moment.

An alternate view: it is because we only have one limited life that our choices don’t matter. We and everyone our choices touch will die, and nothing will have mattered. Depending on your situation, that thought can fill you with dread or be profoundly calming.

> Make the best of every minute you have, and live it as if it were your last.

That is both impossible and (I’d argue) unhealthy. I wouldn’t waste my last minute cooking a meal, yet I need to spend an hour doing it now to survive another day. “The right choice” and living every moment as if it were the last seldom overlap.
