Depending on what’s grown it can be affected if it’s part of a global marketplace. Oil for example doesn’t care where it’s produced but a drop in production anywhere will cause a spike in prices everywhere except for places that subsidize the price (Venezuela and Iran for example).
Well it will be a source if fines that they love, which will be handy in paying all those subsidies they are giving other large companies like Intel to build a fab.

Just wished they were proactive about such things instead of letting them fester on in the public eye's for years, but then - how would they make all that lovely income from large fines and PR.
Wow I didn't even know that happened until right now. At least they're advertising for Rings of Power.
Instead of sitting back and reciting some patriotic nonsense about how much we love America, I think we should work to make the USA as nice as it can potentially be.

"If you dislike it so much you should leave" is apathetic bullshit. It's the act of making excuses for the failures of this country. To you, it's just so great here that any criticism is unjustified. That attitude is dangerous and, quite frankly, it's a propagandistic tool used by politicians to discourage pressure to reform.

On top of that, "just leaving" sounds so easy, but that's not really how it works, especially for the poorest people.

For one thing, leaving any country is a huge commitment in terms of social and familial ties.

Secondly, you can't just magically move to another country and live there automatically. You have to apply for permanent residence status before you can even work in another country, which usually means having an employer sponsor you.

I imagine that wouldn't be very easy to accomplish if you work in a high school-educated field like retail or fast food. What McDonald's franchise would sponsor an employee? How many countries want high school-educated people to immigrate?

If the USA continues to regress, maybe I will take you up on your suggestion and leave. Maybe I could find a job to sponsor me in Ireland or The Netherlands, since I'm an educated professional with multiple degrees. That does nothing to help the working class, though.
Export less food. Where food is mainly cattle and poultry. The Netherlands exports a lot of food at the cost of the local environment. That has not been sustainable for a long time and the current government is being forced to act after having declined to do so for many years.
Maybe. People are going to drown if we do not act to reduce nitrogen emissions

(And eating less meat would significantly reduce emissions, but that seems unlikely to happen on a large scale)
By sheer numbers this has likely been the "peak centralized control of lives".

Clearly that's the prominent fact and claim to be proved out.

It is certainly the most important claim discussed, but it's concerning that we have to wonder whether you intend to question the shifting of opinions instead of the claim.

I, too, enjoy pet servers over cattle. But when important parts of modern life depends on servers, I can definitely see the rationale for cattle.
Hopefully it doesn't turn into the dreck that the Wheel of Time series has turned out to be. And no, I'm not referring to the garbage "anti-woke" drivel that racists have peddled about the show. I'm simply referring to the fact that the series is so far removed from the actual story that claiming the series is "based on" the books is even a stretch. It's basically a completely different story that uses the same character names and some terminology.
To understand the nitrogen crisis (Nitrogen Oxides and Ammonia) in the Netherlands you have to see the nitrogen dioxide map:

https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2019/03/Nitrogen_d...

And most of it is from agriculture (landbouw) 46% and abroad (buitenland)

https://www.rivm.nl/sites/default/files/2019-09/grafiek_herk...

Because the Netherlands is the second largest food exporter in the world after the USA:

So something has to be done to lessen output of Ammonia and Nitrogen Oxides as they are destroying the local nature ecosystems.

I'm going to need a citation on that. Sources that I read from a quick web search indicate that Apple is spending an average of $10 million per episode on its shows. How "Severance" could cost $300 million, when it takes place almost entirely on an indoor office set, defies plausibility.
You're thinking about a peak's prominence. A lot of people put a lot of thought into that, which is summed up by Wikipedia [1], including a list of talles peaks by prominence. By definition, Mount Everest wins again, as there is no col to be considered it's parent.

I'm not sure why this is on HN, but since it's here now, let me add a bit of the details of what's behind the situation in the Netherlands, because the description in the original article is incorrect.

A long time ago, NL signed a couple of European agreements that forced them to designate a number of area's for which the natural diversity should be preserved. NL did this very diligently: no less than 162 of such area's were assigned.
About 10 years after signing the contract, an environment organization started a lawsuit against a farm next to such an area that wanted to expand. It won the lawsuit and the farm's expansion was forbidden. The ground for the verdict was that the expansion would increase the farm's emission of nitrogen; a gas that when it ends up in the soil, favors a limited number of plants such as nettles and grass, most other species will die out.

Once this precedent was created, many more lawsuits followed. Eventually the Dutch government decided to make a plan to regulate nitrogen emissions nationally. A map was published that showed estimated levels of nitrogen emission in the country. In many area's the emissions were too high, and the most obvious way to bring it down was to close nearby farms.
This is the reason for the farmer's protests.

Interestingly, very little is known about how much emitted nitrogen eventually ends up in the soil. The RIVM, the Dutch institution that made the map, only started doing some measurements of deposits in 2020. There's also a lot of criticism on the way the emissions are measured and on other aspects of the model that was used to create the nitrogen map.
Fairly sure this was scheduled to happen today, July 5th.
We need to distinguish between being trusting versus naive then.
California has a net metering plan that has only gotten worse over time. We're on the verge of enacting NEM 3.0 which will make just having solar have a much higher monthly connection fee, but also will reduce even further the amount of credit you get for sending power to the grid.
The Netherlands is a small, densely populated country with a huge farming export surplus, with a very large industry (and lobby) behind them. This also isn’t about plantations, but livestock. Cows mostly. So nothing related to fertilisers at all.

A few years ago a judge ruled that the way the government calculated the emissions were incorrect, and now the government is basically forced to act. As these livestock farms account for a huge amount of nitrogen compound emissions, the most pain will be felt here. This was known for many years though, but now the reality is here and shit hit the fan.

In general, I think all this is also a symptom of the general distrust in the government, frustration that has been building up, and there’s quite some overlap in this protesting community and the “covid is a hoax” group. It attracts some very weird people.
So the lack of food being imported from this export needs to be balanced somewhere else, no? This would mean no reduction in emission. Only emission within this locale. I guess that's a win to make local numbers look good. This is so pointless. Not to mention we are taking away livelihoods from people.
Apple has completely forgotten their privacy bargains in China when their profits were threatened. They've also special-cased their own Ad data collection (a business that's growing in revenue) to be opt-out. So your trust in Apple collectively bargaining in your interest is misplaced because they ALREADY haven't proven themselves to be trustworthy (and they repeatedly lied and misled in their marketing and court hearings when it trusted them).
They're an unaccountable and unelected corporation, not a government.

I prefer to put my trust in "collectively bargained" and voted for GDPR (and similar) legislation which affects all apps, all corporations. This gives us both choice (critical for freedom), market competition (critical for healthy economy and society - growing up in socialist single-choice markets wasn't fun) AND privacy across the board.

I honestly don't understand your penchant to cross your fingers and hope a for-profit corporation will protect you over actually ensuring they do via privacy legislation.

Not necessarily true; previous income, lifestyle preferences, and assets all matter here.

Not all people are “grandparents” or “strangers”. And the people involved in carrying for your children can very quickly stop being strangers even if they start out that way.

The internet doesn't cause Autism or AD(H)D.

> the world is already over-populated, and however hard it is for you to compete with your peers, it'll be even harder for your children

The world isn't overpopulated. Competition in capitalist economies may generally be exacerbated by various factors that concentrate rewards more over time, but there are enough other social forces at play that it's pretty hard to make any concrete prediction about prospects for any particular person's offspring a few decades down the road.

> I'm looking for new perspectives on why one should choose to procreate nowadays.

Why? This is so heavily dependent on your personal preferences and priorities that there isn't a whole lot of useful information directly on the question that anyone else can give you.

To the extent that there are beliefs on matters of fact underlying your existing position or questions of fact that would help resolve that position, that's probably a more valuable place to seek outside information than arguments directly for having children which necessarily presume a particular value framework which may or may not be yours.
I've yet to find two proponents of "true" MVC who can agree what goes in the model and what goes in the controller.
They're completely different. This is solely for intimidation purposes.

Cameras previously would show a wide angle view of the store so you can see when someone put something under their jacket, etc. I can understand and accept this.

In comparison these new cameras have a very swallow angle of view, they're zoomed in on your face and they're in portrait. They would be completely useless if you wanted to see if someone was, say, putting something under their jacket at checkout.

These are there to purposefully record your face and let you know that they're doing that full colour and HD whether you like it or not. It's vile and extremely rude. I've never signed an agreement accepting such an obtrusive and unreasonable violation of my privacy when I enter a supermarket - at least online I'd have to accept T&Cs before placing my order.
It depends on how the world is going to react. If cattle farms shut down, large swathes of land suddenly become available to more efficient food production as the need for farm animal feed decreases.

Huge amounts of food is being processed into animal feed which in turn ends up producing relatively little food. I like my meats as much as the next guy, but in a world hit by a food shortage caused the Russian invasion, using more arable land to feed people instead of cows seems like the obvious choice.
Oh, I'm sure Apple can drag this out for years and year in the courts lobbing health and safty arguments etc.
Eh, this is the one thing I hoped would push non-tech people like my wife into a more active stance. I showed her one of the related articles discussing apps tracking menstrual cycles and poor HIPAA protections in today's world, but the result was sadly the opposite to what I hoped for. In that particular case, addiction to her favorite games clearly outweighed espoused concern of Roe vs Wade impact.

It is odd. I was sure it would make more of an impact. Maybe habits are stronger than proclaimed views.
Yup. Language learning falls in this bucket. We don’t have repeatable processes for making someone fluent in another language. It’s very luck based for the people who succeed which are a very small percent of people who try.
> The protests coincided with a parliamentary vote on a proposed £22bn programme to halve agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide and ammonia by 2030.…close to nature reserves, the policy is tougher still, with 70-95% reductions targeted… Netherlands House of Representatives released a statement which said: “The honest message is that not all farmers will continue in business. Those who do will have to farm differently.”

What does “farm differently” actually look like? Are there viable replacements for the chemicals being targeted? (Guessing not, given the farmers’ reaction.)
Oh nice! Had no idea they added that behavior.

They are doing the rational thing and there is no going back.

HNers need to get their heads around this: the economies of the could represent a fundamental, secular shift.

Imagine if Fedex designed and made their own delivery vehicles. Then they 'outsourced' that to Ford/GM. You might say 'look at Ford's amazing margins, look at the money being left on the table' - but in reality, it's still more cost effective to 'buy vehicles' the to 'DIY' them.

In the 'long run' those Azure/AWS margins will erode - and/or - the long tail will creep up on them. Basically data centers offering less, for less, and companies realizing they don't need the complexity of AWS do do basic things.

What that will look like is hard to say.

With hardware it meant 'pivot to Asia'.

Will this happen again? Chinese companies creating large data centres in the US with minimal staffing, monitored and operated out of China?

If we were not in a giant geostrategic kerfluffle with them, then yes, I would say that is the future. But given security issues etc. it's probably not.

Can India do that? Maybe.
This is mostly a fair criticism. I've seen the common, 'my body my rights' used in both vaccines and abortion rights. I would point out however, that the vaccine is less deadly, with fewer side effects than carrying a baby to birth. But also, vaccines give herd immunity, which is a direct benefit to the people around you. So they wouldn't be the same.
Vaccines and climate change are not comparable in any way. And just to state, you can be pro-government and anti-government in certain areas of life/society simultaneously without being a hypocrite. Government is and can be expansive and everyone has their limits. Unless you also like pointing out that people live in houses but still go outside?(What is that all about? like come on, you either love living indoors or outdoors you can't do both /s)

I played around with Amazon's Rekognition software. I took one of those youtube videos where someone takes a picture of themselves every day for 10 years. It was fairly ideal conditions (consistent lighting, same pose for the most part) but the kid also went from 12 years old to 22, so his face definitely changed a lot. I used the first image as the image to compare the rest to (12 years old at the time), and I was surprised that it got pretty much almost all of them with a high degree of confidence (80%+). And the 80% ones were terrible lighting, sunglasses or an image of his girlfriend he slipped in there.

Even the sunglasses, beard, face paint, bad lighting or puberty didn't throw off the model.

The open source dlib model was considerably worse, but AWS Rekognition was incredible

Are you aware of the "degree of protesting" that has been going on? Threatening children is not OK in my book, even if their parents are government ministers in charge of the policy you disagree with.
So true! Sometimes to scratch my itches I have joined first timers- I guess me “LARPing” as a garage developer. It usually becomes clear they will never even finish a prototype.

Once I joined a team that was making a space ship combat game. All they worked on was 2d buttons, sliders, etc. Building a whole GUI from scratch for months. I stuck my head up to say maybe we could try some gameplay ideas? No it was important to get the menus right.
It's as if we are no longer able to perform inductive reasoning.
I'm really happy that it's other countries that are experimenting with these disastrous "pro-climate" policies (but really anti-progressive and anti-civilisation).

Such as Netherlands experimenting with "low-food" (anti-meat) regimes and Germany experimenting with "low-energy" (anti-nuclear, pro-solar) policies.

We can then learn from their mistakes.
Oh, makes sense, thanks!

I would expect that the more food shortages become severe, the more different types of food become fungible.

You might think this happens only in extreme cases, but as a "poor" Uni student I don't remember eating expensive food very often. And I was living in one of the richest countries on earth.

Single parents, people in disadvantaged communities etc., even in first-world countries, have the problem of putting food on the plate, and they don't really have the luxury to think about what type of food that is.
From previous comments on the subject I gathered that farmers had apparently been exempted from or allowed to skirt many of the previous rules and regulations as well, despite a major if not the main source of pollution in the country.

But not this time, this time they're asked to put in the work same as everyone else, and that makes them very unhappy.
Correct, but in the Netherlands the problem is that they're killing our existing flora and fauna. Especially in areas where nature reserves and farming are close together, this causes issues. The Netherlands is the 2nd biggest food exporter in the world, after the US. But we're only the 134th largest by land mass and 69th largest by population.

The amount of farming we do in our tiny country is pushing the limit of what you can do to nature and it's causing issues on a local scale. The unfortunate thing is that we're about the most efficient producer in the world too, so on a global scale, cutting down production here would probably be a bad thing.
How could it make more financial sense to withdraw?

Maybe they're trying to say that the full-remote salaries are "1.9x more" than the full-office salaries and they don't understand that it doesn't work that way. That would mean that if full-office salaries were $50,000 then full-remote be $95,000 more, for a total of $145,000.

PaaS is great till it isn't, seen plenty of companies hit the edges of PaaS and then need to move to k8s

Again this is great till it isn't (see heroku) and then people move to k8s. Having control and understanding of the underlying infrastructure is important unless your just running some basic web app
