Moderation seems like a long-lost concept in this space; mid-rise with mixed use, as most cities around the world implement, is perfectly fine, but must be discarded because of zoning for single families at one extreme and skyscrapers at the other with no in between.

I wouldnt consider myself a climate sceptic, but I do think we’ve learned something about the utility of governments (poor) when we see that on the one hand they swear “we’ll be swimming to work” while on the other doing nothing about… say… sea defences. This should inform us of their expected usefulness in other types of crisis.

This may be a silly question. But could you give a couple examples of how you implement something in JS now vs. how you would have implemented it 18 months ago?
The Internet homogenizes everything.
Yes, the footprint per capita. My post was already becoming uncomfortably long..

Ex: A religious person goes to a developing country, promotes birth control, and comes back to be rewarded for preventing excess births to the degree of 100 children. They then proceed to have 2 children of their own. Given that the developing country has a footprint per capita two orders of magnitude less than that of the proselytizer (i.e. 5 versus 800, to use circa 2000 numbers), that person has in effect only slightly mitigated the cascading impact of their own actions.

It's more about raising everyone alive not just to our collective higher standards of living but also in reducing footprint.
I remember arguing with people who said I should be lockdowned, but then balking at my suggestion that people should do mandatory park runs at the weekend, to lessen the chance of getting seriously ill with COVID.
In what way are covid or climate change imaginary?
With practice, I’m sure you can become as good as you can imagine. Habit forming is the trick, in my experience, prioritizing it and sticking to it. It might help to focus on ways to enjoy hiking, by starting small and having goals. Do easy 2km hikes somewhere beautiful or fun once a week until you’re longing to go harder and further, and then increase your length & difficulty slowly. You can set a destination. In the city, maybe your destination is a new sandwich shop across town, and you can enjoy some lunch and be less exhausted.

I’m also in my 40s. My typical day hikes are around 10km in the mountains, but I like to walk around in the city as well. Some hikes are shorter (~3km), and some are occasionally longer (~20km) if I have all day. On summer nights, instead of sitting on the couch, I like to download a movie and take a “Netflix walk”. In the mountains, I like exploring and seeing new places. My longest hike was about 80km through a mountain range. I went with a friend and it took 3 days because our packs had about 20kg of camping gear and food. That’s more backpacking than hiking, but I guess I’m saying that once you’re hiking a lot and you really enjoy it you can hike as far as you want, the limiter might be more time & motivation than distance.
Exactly. Many of these people may have twice that amount in credit card debt. And while it's great to pay that down, it won't change much immediately.

I’m currently (literally: I just switched apps from kindle to browsing HN moments ago) reading “Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned”, chapter 8, “Unchaining Innovation” and they are currently pointing out how consensus leads to a washed-out, bland sameness.

A corollary that they wrote is that if you want to explore innovative ideas, you could look for something that splits expert opinions sharply.
Visiting a single unencrypted website allows anyone who controls the connection (your government/ISP/WiFi provider) to cause your browser to silently execute malicious code and download malicious content. Compromising the security of 99.9% of users for the benefit of the 0.1% isn't even remotely worth it. Those 0.1% also have a simple workaround of using a proxy if needed.

The reason why the West emissions are (slowly) decreasing is not because it's getting more sober or efficient, but because it is exporting emitting activities to the rest if the world.

We are shuffling emissions around, which at a global scale is pointless.
I know copying from Stackoverflow is like a running gag for programmers at this point, but how does this extension deal with the fact that snippets on Stackoverflow do have a license (https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing)? It seems it should add attribution automatically given it is copying results verbatim.

Unrelated to that, I’m concerned that people use Stackoverflow this way. It’s not the code on its own but the context and explanation that usually help me figure out my problem.
This is a very common problem with politics in canada these days.

Whatever "current event" has a negative outcome, attribute it to the politician you currently don't like.

Post office in the high-arctic is closing, must be "politician i don't like's" fault.

Never mind basic logic as you posted, these are not new problems. JT hasn't done anything to address the issues, nor did his predecessors.

> A contemporary CPU and/or GPU is 'a bunch of connections that are pre-encoded' - just not in DNA, but in silicon.

No, CPUs/GPUs are not relevant if we are interested in the speed of learning in relation to the quantity of stimuli processed. You could even compute an ANN's learning algorithm with a pen and paper and it wouldn't change its "learning speed" within that definition. Pre-trained weights would.

Regardless, this head start is probably not sufficient to explain the disparity between the brain's capacity to learn and modern ANNs. ANNs are probably just not a very good approximation of how the brain works, for now at least.
It's a disturbing trend and indicative of failing health / vibrancy of political systems. Same with running Hilary Clinton.

Half of the entire point of the democratic turn in western states after the enlightenment and the French revolution was to attempt take power away from powerful families and abolish heritable power.

I found it very alarming when Trudeau Jr was plucked out of relative obscurity and turned into a political figure here, and I found it quite absurd that he won with hardly any experience or qualification beyond his family name.

Especially when the other centre-left opposition candidate at the time (Mulcair&the NDP) was very strong, an extremely competent opposition leader with strong support in Quebec, a long political history and a strong base, and the NDP were polling in majority territory prior to (and in the early part) the election. Honestly, I'm still bitter about that election and its results. I think it's actually turned out disastrous for Canada.
"We need to stop pretending we can prevent the imminent collapse of civilization."

Maybe it will collapse when rising ocean acidification causes the base of the ocean ecosystem to collapse, eliminating a billion peoples' access to protein, leading to global war.

Maybe it will collapse when, in multiple regions, agriculture fails, and just being outside on certain days is fatal, so 200M people who happen to live there are obliged to go where other people already live, crossing borders and triggering rise of fascist governments, thus shortly global thermonuclear war.

Any other imminent inevitable global collapse scenarios as consequences of failure to contain global climate catastrophe? One suffices. So whichever is first matters. Events after will be much less predictable.

Certainly some people will survive the collapse, most likely even millions, maybe even a billion or more. But anyway major releases of CO2 would cease along with international trade and concrete construction.

Getting existing excess CO2 back out of the atmosphere would be beyond the capabilities of the remnant population, but waiting a couple of centuries would take care of that.

I've spent more hours modding Morrowind, Skyrim, and the Fallouts than I did playing the games. About 80% of that time is debugging various combinations of USER-GENERATED mods that would reveal bugs Bethesda has certainly worked to sweep under the rug.

But that's not a failure. It's not some packaging problem that has persisted because of narcissism. I ENJOYED that time, getting to play with the very concept of the game in addition to playing the game itself.

The Nexus mods community is a godsend to a world that was so disjoint and chaotic, most people thought modding a game was just an urban legend. Thanks to Nexusmods, nontechnical players could mod their games with a single click on a website -- They created a mod management system on top of a game that didn't care to think of it -- and you're upset about it?

Contrary to your narrative, the modding community is filled with love and is built on sharing -- far moreso than the open source community. That you could see it as the opposite really just shows you've missed the history of just how far it's come -- all the while, being little more than a curiosity for a fraction of the gaming community.
Discourse around climate change is about problems, not solutions.
Ahhh... the simplicity, readability, and inherent responsiveness of a webpage that's just text and some images.
Make average human lifespan 150 by solving aging and we'll solve the climate problem tomorrow. Otherwise there is no incentive for people to conserve anything.

This 100%. The thing I like about his videos is that he decomposes songs into their individual pieces and lays them out to show you what they are. As a music loving non-musician, there are so many layers to songs that I never realized were there (did you know there were female vocals in Foo Fighters’ Everlong? I didn’t, until Rick showed me). Anyone looking for Rick to point at a specific thing and say “this is what makes this particular song great” is missing the point. He’s taking the song apart and showing you all of the different pieces that together make it a great song. You may not ever have noticed many of those elements before, but without them that song wouldn’t be as good.
Hiking is good exercise, and an exercise that you can continue to do throughout your lifetime.

I distinctly remembering as a sixth grader camper watching in utter disbelief as a 70 yo man charged up the mountain ahead of us while us kids lagged behind, and whined how tired out our legs were.

As for age ... I can hike better and further now as a non-smoker in my later forties than I did when I was in my twenties and smoking a pack a day.
Plus python programs are hard to use on windows.
I hiked the pct, 4000 km.
Yes, it's rather a source
Comcast used to do this, Verizon too I think (as well as DNS hijacking).
Yes indeed. And if you really want to go down a rabbit hole, test it out on the subjects that find the likes of CNN & FOX agreeing in lockstep. More often than not it's to hide the truth than to report it.

He does but it's inferred.

Song writing is an art it's not like a technology where you can point to power usage and how v 2 is better than v1 to show the thing is now better, great.

He goes into great detail about the entire songs it's never just "point to a thing" and say "there it is". He'll describe how the choice of the wording, the chords, what scale e.g. "mixolydian vs dorian", how it all combines to make the song great.
We should stop fossil-fuel driven emissions out of necessity.
That was Einstein's view, but it was disproved in the seventies by experimental measurements of Bell's inequality. I'm just a computer guy, so someone else can chime in with a more detailed explanation. It's also easy to find more info on Google.

This is repeatedly reported news, not one journalist.

According to Japanese police, the shooter claimed Abe's religious group association was the motive. At least two other papers have linked that group to the Family Federation (formerly Unification Church) and the Family Federation issued a PR newswire about the shooting yesterday after refusing to comment.

"I don't think you can generalize [the study] to everybody, but really for people that have risk factors for severe disease," he says, because veterans tend to be older and have more health conditions."

This is not a controlled study, its comparative across number of reinfections. There can be a correlation between overall health and ability to be reinfected. If your health is poor you will be overall more likely to experience death etc as well as symptomatic Covid infection.
The point is acknowledging that over a million people die per year on the roads due to human error and trying to help beta test software that would help bring that number down over 90% so that our kids can have a better future.
I'm guessing the other one, besides Falun Gong and the Unification Church, is Olivet Church, a Korean messianic sect that bought Newsweek.

You’ve missed the previous sentence.

> One of the main issues is that for residential pays a flat rate all the time. There is no incentive for people not to use electricity during those huge peaks

I’ve you’ve got a lower rate at night, then you dont’t have flat rate tariff. Something very common in most of the world. Having a lower night rate means you obviously have an incentive, that’s the entire reason it’s offered.

I wouldn’t own a 4K monitor that was over 24” and I don’t use monitors that are under 25” anymore. So yes, that means the entire market for monitors I’d own is around 6 in total, which is ridiculous being that it’s 2022, but that’s the world we live in.
Im quite young(under 21) but hiking as been a huge outlet for my stress. During the first lockdown, weekly hiking was my time of self care.
Its also super good for your cardio vascular system. My Vo2 Max raised around 10-15 points from hiking alone along with my overall speed.
Hiking is also one of those thing where it indirectly teaches you life skills; sometimes zigzags are the fastest route or slow and steady is faster then going fast and taking breaks.

>Freedom means also that you have to earn it

Freedom isn't earned, authority is. Freedom is the default nature of man. Those in power who seek to limit freedom, must earn that right. And it can be quickly withdrawn.
In my 30's. I do roughly 30-40km a day with around 20kg pack.

If you want to get better, load water or any weight into a bag and walk around hilly areas.
You can certainly do 20-25 kms/day if you work on it for 6-12 months.
I agree, the whole package is the difference.
I'm trying to use DDG as much as possible, but I live in Italy and for local stuff Google services are still unbeatable.
E.g. Apple Maps used by DDG are a no go where a live for all but plain directions. OSM data used by many map apps is good, non commercial data sometimes even better than GMaps, but businesses data is only on GMaps, there's no way around that.
Blocking sunlight by whatever means would hasten collapse.

Are you implying that covid and climate change are "imaginary problems"?

Doctors say my uncle died of covid. He didn't worry about wearing masks or avoiding crowds.

If covid was an "imaginary problem" then why he died? Why would doctors lie?
"Covid has affected and killed enough "younger" people - by which I mean folks younger than 40."

If that were true, it would have happened everywhere. If we steelman the COVID policy case by looking at Sweden, which should theoretically be the worst hit place, what we see is that there was no excess death for under 75s in 2020.

There have been many claims that COVID kills the young. But these claims must be exaggerated because it doesn't show up in the data, at least not for Europe. If we look at Euromomo, so incorporating countries with far harsher restrictions and worse healthcare systems, then we also cannot see any mortality under 40:

https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

The first age range where mortality is seen is 45-64 years. But even there, we are talking about a change from ~9k deaths a week (normal) to ~11k deaths a week in each wave, which for a place the size of Europe is hardly a crisis level change.

You can get a lot better at it, if you want. Start slow and ramp up slow or you will end up with foot and leg issues. In a few years you'll be walking over mountains.
There is a difference for the business though – although the data may be exposed, the business may still be able to maintain continuity. I believe it is the lack of business continuity that has made ransomware so powerful – when a business can no longer function it will do anything to get that back. If the business could continue to operate they would be in a much better position to refuse to pay the ransom. If all businesses refused to pay the ransoms, ransomware would stop.

Obviously it’s still really bad if sensitive information is exposed. But also consider that some of the information essential for business continuity would be less sensitive in a public exposure scenario.

So in some cases it is just as effective, but in many cases it is not. As I understand it, most ransomware providers still attempt both encryption and exfiltration. Exfiltration is now standard not because it is easier but because more companies are able to restore operations from backup.

> HTTPS only, combined with almost everyone only using LetsEncrypt (a great service), leads to massive concentration of value for any internal corruption at LE or external political (or other) pressures on LE.

Well where are all the other free SSL/TLS certificate providers, then?

ZeroSSL sometimes gets mentioned, though they are also pretty keen to charge you, which is the exact reason why many go for Let's Encrypt: https://zerossl.com/pricing/ (admittedly, they're much cheaper than most alternatives, but you can't beat free)

Most of the other paid providers out there do see like they're just running a racket in comparison:

https://www.ssl.com/certificates/basicssl/
https://www.digicert.com/tls-ssl/basic-tls-ssl-certificates
https://www.godaddy.com/en-uk/web-security/ssl-certificate

It's an order of magnitude more expensive than just getting a domain, my expenses would be in the hundreds of dollars per year if I wanted to get the certificates from them, which I can't really afford while working in Latvia and having 30+ sites to manage across different domains.

Let's Encrypt works and once it stops working (should that ever happen, which you kind of need to include in your risk analysis), I'm kind of screwed.

This is wishful thinking.

Climate change is well researched. A lot of predictions made about it in the 80s and 90s were only off because the reality is much worse.

> Humans will adapt to the earth’s conditions

It's tough to adapt to drastically lower crop yield and a huge reduction in fertile soil. Water will be a big problem too.

> If places become uninhabitable, then humans will migrate elsewhere as we always have.

In Europe we've struggled with that when it's on the scale of millions. With climate change we're potentially looking at billions of refuges.

Ignoring the problem and saying "eh we'll manage" is just about the worst thing we could do.
