I'm not contesting it no. And I'm saying it's a perfectly valid use of energy. It will use even more energy in future. And it's worth it. Energy use doesn't need defending and isn't a bad thing. Energy secures the financial network, it's doing that work, even if the network isn't useful to you. Disincentivising fossil fuel use for every purpose needs to happen, not just Bitcoin.

It could also be possible that the electric outage happened after you filled up at the gas station and the gas station ran out of power.

Anyone else excited for de-globalization and slower economies/development? I can't think of any negative consequences of these.

On the other hand, these seems to be positives for me:

- less diversity

- less multiculturalism

- less polarization (due to 2 above)

- hopefully more inward progress looking/more defensive nations and less invasive nations

- slower tech/innovation, people can catch up with life, lawmakers can catch up with regulations

- better for the environment

> Remember Trump's first impeachment? It was literally about withholding military aid to Ukraine

Don't fall for left-wing propaganda. The impeachment was all about politics, the "withholding military aid" was just a convenient excuse.

The actual fact is, Trump provided way more military aid to Ukraine than e.g. Obama.

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/16/politics/us-ukraine-aid-f... (ignore the title, focus on the text:)

> While the Trump administration was the first willing to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine, the Obama administration did provide defense and military equipment.
Isn't there something besides water that could be used that would be more effective at putting out battery fires? I doubt this is Tesla-specific and the number of EVBs is growing.

I usually carry my passport as well (though now I also have a national ID card which I think can take its place within the EU while traveling).

But I don't think that being able to travel with the thing is a requirement for it to be acceptable as an "additional photo ID" for the kinds of validation we're talking about here. Even if I can't travel with my Skatteverket or residence permit cards, they have been regularly accepted as ID verification for services based outside of Sweden. They've been sufficient when it comes to showing that I do indeed have the relevant Swedish identification documents and reside here. I think once, possibly for E-trade, this was coupled with having to provide a bill sent to my Swedish address. But that shouldn't really be a big issue either for anyone actually residing in another country.
Is the "white men" phrase relevant or needed in the article? No.

This is the result of "more bits-per-inch", which is the natural result of going from 4TB-per-drive to 20TB-per-drive.

Yes, I'm skipping a few steps, but that's the fundamental issue at play here. There's more platters, more bits per inch, more read / write speed at the same 7200 RPM.

I don't think this is how we reach people. The antivax people I know aren't won over by seeing a public health official on TV or in the news. The person most likely to reach them is their physician -- but only if they are a strong personality.

I'm not sure what "it" is in this context. I have a Pixel 2 which is (consults list) registered at Google, Login.gov, DropBox and GitHub. Most other places I have only my physical Security Keys registered, but those I added the Pixel 2. In particular it isn't registered at Facebook because I only book faces inside the dedicated Firefox container on a single machine in a single location, so as to reduce my exposure.

In my experience as the phone gets older features start to "deteriorate". For example, the previous phone didn't make or receive telephone calls after a few weeks without rebooting, this Pixel 2 ceases to work as a Contactless payment device after a few days without rebooting, and FIDO is the same way, so, maybe try rebooting? I figure that one day Google will rewrite their core systems in Rust or some other language that reduces the rate of heisenbugs and they'll have fewer features that "deteriorate" in this way. Also I should buy a new phone at some point.
I wholeheartedly agree with all of what you said, but this stands out:

> And then each tweet needs to be punchy enough in 240 characters to keep people reading which produces a particularly annoying writing style.

I also find this writing style insufferable (every sentence a punchline), but though it may seem obvious in hindsight, the explanation that otherwise people won't keep reading had escaped me. I thought that was just a "Twitter" thing.

Twitter revolutionized online discourse. However, for whatever progression it brought us, it also brought with it a degeneration of interpersonal communication. Everything is a punchline, one-upping, echo chambers, Twitter mobs, brigadiering, and the half-life of a lot of information deserving of thoughtful processing has been reduced to hours.

>Al Gore never claimed that, btw,

GORE: “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country’s economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.”

There are three ways to read the first sentence, two of which take the presumption that Al Gore invented the internet.

Snopes is so half-wrong that it's getting to be easy to ignore.

In other words , he did say that, he just didn't mean for people to interpret his ambiguous statement in that fashion.

aside : the word of the day is initiative.

Even direct fighting between NATO forces and Russia isn't likely to escalate to a nuclear exchange. It's unlikely that NATO would invade or occupy (actual, not recently annexed) Russian territory, so it poses little existential risk to Russia or her government.

The nukes will be a serious issue when the fall of Russia is imminent.
Even worse -- the horrors of having to find a book in the library to answer your question.

>there is a lot of healthy food that can cause people to being fat if they eat enough

Okay, but unhealthy food is unhealthy because it is easy to eat large quantities of it. No one is getting fat because they are overeating fruits and veggies.
> but are you okay with your livelihood being making shoes? If you're capable of doing higher-value work then isn't it a "waste" for you to be doing lower-value work?

This assumes that everyone can do the higher-value work per their standards, right? US is probably the most educated country in the world, while in the meantime we still have millions adults[1] who don't have college degree. We still have millions of kids who struggle with basic algebra. And per my interaction with kids and college students in the past many years, I have to conclude that not everyone can or like to take on "high-end" jobs. In any class except those magnetic schools, you can see the bottom 20% or more students are hopeless in learning STEM or sophisticated writing. However, they may get decent jobs if there are other demand in the market.

Expecting China to run out of people is a strange idea. In the last few decades, the PLA has shrunk, but has become much better equipped.

You do realize that a very _very_ large number of us here use OpenBSD code literally all day every day?

Who do you think wrote OpenSSH? Or do you remember Heartbleed, when everyone switched or thought about switching to LibreSSL?

Just because most of us don't run OpenBSD-the-OS very often doesn't mean we don't all frequently use it's code.
Sure sure, but this is a whole new dimension. Got to be one of the most misleading headlines of all time.

I'm not commenting on whether he deserved to be impeached, only that we have proof that the state department thought it was very important to provide Ukraine with military aid.

Either way though, the crimean invasion happen 6 years into Obama's term. Not surprising that Trump gave them more aid.

What is this supposed to get people thinking about beyond "Did R.L. Stine use ghostwriters for his Goosebumps and Fear Street series?" It's pretty much the only thing brought up in the post. How could the answer to that question be irrelevant?

I'll admit that this reads like a journal entry and it's pointless to try to hold a random blogger to the research expectations we might have for actual journalists, but if this post was intended to get people thinking or engaged in discussion there's really not much there to work with outside of the "Did R.L. Stine use ghostwriters for his Goosebumps and Fear Street series?" question which makes the answer pretty relevant.

If this post was intended to provoke discussion or thought it might have been better to address the concept of ghostwriting. The morality of ghostwriting, the impact it has on the quality of literature, the importance of branding, the economics of it etc. As it is, there's not much food for thought.

The latter mostly for techniques to keep programs structured even when writing mostly in template soup (like php, asp, coldfusion etc).

I was thinking of the price of shoes in the late 80s when Canada and US had not outsourced their shoe manufacturing, and my mom told me that it would cost more than $200 to buy a pair of decent shoes. Now adding inflation and subtracting tech improvements, I came up with the $300 number. The point is that I'm willing to pay more to see US as productive as when it was in post-WWII era.

I do think the global temperature is rising, but you can't say things like 'what I considered hot as a kid is different than what I now consider hot' and be taking seriously scientifically. Its an interesting anecdotal point but that's about it. I'm sure the data for where you grew up as a kid is available for the last 50 years, so get the data and give a real numbers to numbers comparison.

I have actually done this in terms of snow. I said to myself, it seems like there were bigger snow storms (in termps of inches of snow) when I was a kid. so I got the data to verify it, and yes, not only were the snow as a kid much higher, they were also historical high - a couple record snowfalls when I was a kid. The point of this story isn't meant to tie anything to climate change, but rather be more curious and get data to back up your thoughts.

I think you're overstating just how "obvious" this adverse selection problem is, because we haven't seen this play out historically. It sounds like a purely theoretical problem.

Canada established its single payer system provincially, one-by-one, and they didn't have this adverse selection problem. Saskatchewan was the first Province to offer single payer in 1947, followed by Alberta in 1951, etc. By 1961, all Provinces had some form of a single payer healthcare system.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3110239/

> Taxpayer-funded medicare in Canada did not appear at a single point in time: it emerged over a quarter century from 1962, when physician services were covered across Saskatchewan, to 1987, when the demise of optional “full billing” in Ontario began.

So at any given point in time between 1962 and 1987, there was (in theory) this adverse selection problem among certain provinces; and yet that was never really a major problem in Canada. Even to this day, the Canada Health Transfer which provides block funding to Provinces by the Federal government for the purpose of funding these single payer systems covers ~22% of the cost (https://www.cmaj.ca/content/192/45/E1408).

Additionally, even in present day, the European Union has open borders and free immigration between member states, and certain member states have far more generous welfare systems than others, and you still don't have this adverse selection problem, at least in a manner that meaningfully renders those welfare systems unsustainable. Even domestically, we didn't really see dramatic net migration from states that refused to take the Medicaid expansion to those that did.

The reality is that people don't choose where to live strictly on the basis of which state provides taxpayer funded healthcare. In fact, those that are most likely to do that (poor people) are likely already covered by Medicaid or heavily subsidized ACA plans (https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/millions-of-uninsured-ameri...).

And even if one were to engage with the purely theoretical problem, there are ways to mitigate the adverse selection, e.g. by requiring a minimum number of years of residency in order to qualify. This is what US States do today to establish residency for the purpose of in-state university tuition. Given the plethora of historical (and current) data points that suggests that this isn't really a problem, States can choose to cross that bridge if/when they get there.
