Can you point to a renewables piece which is more substantive than this one?

Because I found this one pretty information free.

For example, does Reason have a position on the goal of net zero emissions by 2050? Is it a valid goal? A search now mostly finds criticism that it can be reached, and an argument that top-down regulations are much worse than rapid economic growth and a free market.

But that's an evaluation of the political success, not the need for success. And most of the content I find is that things will get worse, but we can let the free market solve the problems.

And with a touch of its own rah-rah hypemongering, for example, that "small modular nuclear reactors paired with molten salt storage" will come to the rescue, and we won't have to change our existing habits.

Their solution seems well summarized at https://reason.com/2021/11/18/will-glasgow-climate-promises-... :

] All of the ongoing trends toward the adoption of lower emissions energy sources and technologies would be dramatically accelerated if policymakers adopt clean free market policies instead of the top-down mandates popular at COP26. Unlike subsidies and mandates that target specific technologies, clean tax cuts are a technology-neutral tool that rewards innovators and encourages competition to develop and deploy low emissions energy supplies and infrastructure.

because, "Cutting taxes is nearly always a good thing “for any excuse whatsoever.”" says https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.153/ab1.df9.myftpuplo... , and ... no, I am not going to read dumb-ass libertarian policies statements like this, based in the premise that The Free Market Solves Everything.

Same here. I use Git at work, but anything I control I use hg. The only factor making me more likely to use Git is Magit, and no good equivalent for hg in Emacs.
It’s worth considering that this is likely not the whole story. If he was corrupt enough to do this himself, there’s a non-negligible chance he had plenty of other family and/or friends who were also likely trading on privileged information and which he may have had some other beneficial deals with that haven’t been found out
What I really want to do with Git, but haven't found a way to do, is to compare diffs. Often I have a merged a feature on some main develop, but need to backport these changes to some older release branch. The backport has some merge conflicts, indicating that much has changed on develop since. Now I want to see that the set of changes (the diff) on main develop is basically the same as the set of changes (the diff) on the old release branch. I want to diff their diffs. Anybody any ideas?

It makes it easy to jump to other lines on your screen, e.g. maybe you want to split out half the code from a loop to another function. You can't use di{ to delete everything in the {} because you only want half of it, but if you can see that the loop contents end on line 98 you can go d98G
I don't think that's at question in this case. It was decided in Massachusetts v. EPA that EPA is required to make that determination itself. Three years after that decision, EPA basically answered "we think it is."

The court isn't bringing any of that up in this opinion. They are looking only at whether Congress specifically delegated EPA the power to regulate emissions by means of "generation shifting". The majority opinion was "no, they didn't."

If we're guessing that this is all fraud anyway, why would we think that a law against phone spam would be where the spammers draw the line, the crime they're not willing to commit? Won't they keep spamming, just like they're already defrauding?

MicroPython is totally fine for initial prototyping or for slow embedded control.

Here's a good example of a project of mine where I used MicroPython: https://twitter.com/tom_verbeure/status/1536127568931217408.

I needed a way to quickly drive a bunch LEDs but I didn't want to dive into C yet. Too about 20min to install MicroPython on the RP2040 (no clue why you're bringing up Linux) and get my LEDs going. Perfect!

In a later phase, I'll convert to C, once MicroPython runs out of steam.

For a lot of slow control projects, that will never be necessary.
> it's fairly easy to switch to another Git based host.

> if you want to convince people to give up Github you should at least be prepared to give an alternative that offers a great deal of feature parity.

These can't both be true. In fact Github is hard to switch away from, because of all the Github features. This is the lock-in. Github then monetizes this by charging for large files (https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/m...), private repos, etc. So the SFC argument is that you should switch away from Github now and get the alternatives to feature parity, to avoid Github getting a monopoly.

The ruling doesn't claim the EPA didn't take into the cost of achieving the reduction in pollutants; it claims that Congress didn't appropriately delegate to the EPA the authority to implement systems to reduce the pollutants.
>Speed

Bitcoin has Lightning network which is peer-to-peer and is quite fast.

>Security

It is up to you on how to generate your keys. You can use your passport number combined with whatever, you can split your secret between notaries (which would require your ID just like banks), etc.

> Privacy

Bitcoin has Lightning network which is offchain.

Here you equate Coinbase with Bitcoin. I think it is wrong to do that, on the brink of logical fallacy.

and your second (valid) point doesn't change by one iota the fact that black on black violent crime is extremely pervasive in these communities and also the cause of the vast majority of murders of african americans. The FBI Uniform crime statistics, derived in part from solved murders and other violent crimes bear this out too. What you say about racist policies may be true but no white outsider is putting a gun into the hands of certain blacks and making them shoot other blacks. One sound criticism of BLM has been exactly this, a complete aversion for political ideological reasons to placing any focus on things that black communities themselves can work to change internally.

I wouldn't say smartphones are bad - they are an amazing platform that can make people's life better and open a lot of possibilities that weren't there before.

The problem is the "attention economy". It used to be that you made money mostly from selling something that people found valuable. In the past decade or so however, the market has been turned upside down and you can make more money just hoovering up user data and wasting their time with ads - a lot of consumer tech eventually became a glorified ad serving machine (right down to the world's most popular desktop operating system).

However that is clearly unsustainable - advertising is ultimately there to drive demand for real, paid products, and its value is directly correlated to how effective they are at doing that. The market has been propped up by VCs (you could start a company that would never become profitable and still get tons of VC money to live off as long as you could show "growth & engagement") but that's now coming to an end and the market is readjusting.

I think the issue with Java's API was actually terribly explained even by Oracle's lawyers, Google stole that API, first because it already had a large amount of developers familiar with it so they could benefit of cheap code monkeys developing for their platform, added modifications (memory management) which under Java's open source licence (Oracle owns java yet it is still open source) they should have made public for everyone's benefit (in a true Open Source spirit), modified the packaging mechanism (slightly, you know .apk), so instead of you know having a package (jar) that can run on a desktop or rather on any JVM it could only run on the devices with their* OS (or rather dalvik implementation) and guess what, now that there are some options to run those on other environments the "casually" decided to change it again instead of letting people benefit from the rich APK ecosystem somewhere else than Android

> Speed - 1s vs 10 mins for Bitcoin

This is a clear indicator that you aren't at all familiar with the payments industry, and probably not familiar with Bitcoin either. There is no extant fiat payment system that settles in 1 second. You are the "Casual user" I was talking about who doesn't know how e.g. credit cards work behind the scenes.

If you want any semblance of payment finality in a fiat system, it's going to take days to months. Bitcoin is ~10 minutes on chain, <1s on Lightning.

> Security - Money guaranteed by banks and governments vs do your own security or trust a dodgy exchange

"Guaranteed" is pulling a lot of weight here. What, exactly, do you think "guaranteed" means?

> Private transactions vs public ledger

"Private" transaction visible to any government agency, the bank's data/ad partners, in any of the abundantly available financial data leaks, vs a public ledger with strong pseudonymity or a totally opaque mesh network on Lightning.

> Trust - counter-parties from merchants to banks are known and have a stake in the system

I trust asymmetric key crypto more than I trust HSBC.

> Fees - free instant transfers vs $1-2 per tx

Fiat transfers are neither 'free' nor 'instant', in any meaningful capacity. Do some research on e.g. credit card settlement cycles. "Months" is more accurate. Credit card (along with most other widely used fiat payment gateways) charge usually something like 25 cents + 2.5%. Bitcoin is (on-chain) a few cents + 0%. Lightning is something like 0.01 cents + 0%.

It only looks cheaper because the details of what's actually going on have been (intentionally, for marketing purposes) hidden from casual users.

> The speed you decry as fictitious is there because of trusted counterparties and is very real.

Again, look up how payment settlement cycles work. You are the type of person I was describing who believes in the fiction. I don't blame you; unless you are a "power user" of the fiat system or have done a lot of research, it's not clear why you would notice.

You've perfectly hit why "Smart Contracts" are perhaps literally the worst named thing in tech. They're not smart, and they're not contracts.

In real life, the things we "Contracts" are not the the execution of the transaction itself, they are the written statement that attempts to describe the intent of the parties and most importantly -- what you do if things go wrong.

Despite what I've said above, I will definitely go full Luddite and say we are not remotely close to a world in which the lawyers are not needed.

What the court is engaged in is an extreme case of motivated reasoning, sinking almost to the level of what the legal profession calls parallel construction. In fact there were many logically consistent arguments for this decision, and many logically consistent arguments for the dissent. They're all right there, both sides, in the text. It's why dissents are written and preserved. Often a point raised in a dissent for one case becomes more important than the ruling itself. Anyone who gets too carried away with the logical consistency of the majority opinion is ignoring the record. Which brings us to the terms I introduced earlier.

When contradictory evidence or arguments are present, it's easy to pick those that support your predetermined position and ignore those that don't. It's nothing to be proud of, and in fact it's usually considered shameful. In formal debate it's a sure route to an ignominious loss. Parallel construction is the equivalent in the legal world, and equally condemned. It's when the prosecution comes into possession of evidence illegally, and then makes up an alternative provenance or reasoning because admitting the truth would get their case summarily thrown out.

This is what the conservative wing of the supreme court has been doing. They're picking and choosing, highlighting pretty dubious arguments and ignoring those which its own principles (e.g. judicial restraint, stare decisis) would give more weight. It's even more despicable for them than it is for prosecutors. Anyone who praises the "consistency" of this decision is at best falling for the trick, or just as often repeating it themselves because the decision supports a view they held long before they ever heard of this case. This discussion is full of such motivated reasoning, as most here are, and I'm pretty sure that's the cause of parent's contempt. If this is truly supposed to be hacker news full of curious people and not just another political rag disguised as a tech-news site, you all need to do better.

Because in the US privacy doesn't seem to be a high priority for federal politicians (of either party if you ask me).

Such things have been regulated by national and European law for ages over here, and the GDPR was the latest brick in that wall.

I recall that in particular Americans were very surprised when it passed, while for most Europeans it was simply the harmonization and continuation of very similar earlier laws.

While the GDPR (and predecessors and co-laws) is certainly not perfect, sometimes it works very well.
To summarize: If you use a Logitech bluetooth device, it creates enough interference that high-bandwidth products like the Airpods will not function correctly.

If you switch the Logitech device to use their "unifying" adapter, which doesn't use bluetooth but a different proprietary wireless protocol, the problem goes away.

Logitech acknowledged the problem about six months ago but thus far have deflected any further questions about a fix.

It is dark at night, and black is dark. The one thing that's clear is "white" human skin ain't white, and "black" ain't black either.
So... saying black or white to categorize any member of the human race is incorrect, using "blacklist" for something that can't see the light is kinda correct.

You could always ingest other bacteria that can digest and break down lactose and rely on probiotics to digest the lactose for you instead of having a gene.

Yes, no argument from me that the fiat system is adequate for buying a bagel.

If all you're ever doing is engaging in small-scale consumption, there's not a ton of reason you personally would care about or even notice a transition away from fiat payment systems.

Realistically, the UX of payments and money management will not change for 90% of people (who aren't doing anything interesting with money and don't have a lot of it). This is fine; we're talking about swapping out the back-end for people who actually have to deal with it.
