Surely of the things that need to reduce their use of fossil fuels air travel is the lowest priority. From memory its less than 10% global CO2 emissions but provides a near irreplaceable utility. Covid hysteria has already caused a long term ramp up in costs and removal of this utility from millions of people's affordability - which in a very global world is a huge step backwards.

Not to mention the reconfiguration of the entire industry prompts questions about safety - how feasible is it to replicate 60 years of conservative engineering changes to current commercial airplane designs? In principle they can design to modern regulated standards, but the reality is those standards are based off millions of hours of flying time per manufacturer/design/model as evidence for effectiveness followed by iterations on those already proven designs.

> Can you please elaborate...

Certainly. Intel (amongst others) supply consumer grade CPUs for a
"multimedia" market, to service music and movie playback.

The movie and music industry apply intense pressure and lobbying
against the computing industry to protect their profits. They see
users having control over media, and thus ability to copy, recode,
edit or time-shift content as a threat, which they dub "piracy".

Under this pressure to implement "Digital Rights/Restriction
Management" within their hardware, semiconductor manufacturers have
been making microprocessors increasingly hostile to end users, since
if users were able to access and examine device functions they would
naturally disable or reject what is not in their interests.

Hiding undocumented functionality to take over, examine or exfiltrate
data from systems via backdoors etc is a natural progression of this
subterfuge and tension between manufacturer and user. This situation
of cat-and-mouse hostility should not exist in anything recognisable
as a "free market", and hence I deem it "protectionism".

Now the real problem is that these same "multimedia" processors are
used in other areas, automotive, aviation, health and even military
applications. The "risk-tradeoffs" bought by big media bleed into
these sectors.

Therefore it's clear to me that measures for the protection of
"intellectual property" are directly at odds with computer security
generally, and are increasingly leading to problems for the sake one
relatively small sector. Sure, the digital entertainments industry is
worth many trillions of dollars, but pales within the larger picture
of human affairs. At some point we may have to choose. Hollywood or
national security?

I did an EE degree first, then CS; I like EE and I enjoy the tinkering. My father taught me electronics since I was young (5) and I always like the smell of soldering and my hands have many battle scars. However, cs always paid so much more that I lost electronics for a while until I worked on smarter-payment card product and the other payment products we did. It was a lot of fun prototyping and optimising every cpu cycle and memory storage bit to push down the cost 1 cent at a time, but also being able to swap in and out parts to save more costs and make it more robust and better quality. I wish I could do it fulltime but SE just pays a lot more, especially as senior and I also like that a lot.

Even though on paper the average tech worker might have 20+ days off, if the culture is not there, peer pressure will kind of force you to compromise in other ways.

This is indeed disappointing at it's expecting the companies to 'regulate themselves' and protect people, however completely failing to notice that the industry would already have done so, which is why the report was needed in the first place.

This is correct, and strongly typed languages don't help.

Often your data validation process does things like running descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, etc) on particular columns and making sure they are within reasonable ranges.

Strongly typed languages don't have any particular advantage for this kind of thing.
I think you're missing a little historical context here, but maybe you were already more experienced back then than I was, for example (which means your bubble was in the know and the unwashed masses weren't). I started making websites in 1998 and earning money with it in 2001ish (that's the year Wikipedia launched) and imho back then it was a lot harder to find the 'correct' way with teaching yourself. I saw REST/RESTful and best practices for the web mostly develop after 2005-2008 (yeah, around the time there was the great Rails exodus as well) and people started to standardize more. What I'm trying to say is that it was all more the Wild West in web development and by the time people had more insight, the naming/switch to JSON had already begun. I also don't remember when I read the REST dissertation first, probably only much later than 2001.

Living with a soon to be self sustaining tumor that your brain chemicals are telling you to be emotionally attached to for 9mo is an f-ing rounding error compared to the following years that either/both parent will have to expend either directly or indirectly (child support payments) raising the kid.

If a woman can unilaterally abdicate her upcoming responsibility to raise a child then a man should be able to abdicate his obligation to raise the thing in a similar manner. Or you can frame it the opposite way. A man should not be able to unilaterally burden a women with the responsibility of raising a kid and a woman should not be able to do the same to a man.

It's absolutely mind boggling that you do not see the double standard you are advocating for.

Part of older generation does live in Russian media sphere. Tiny part of younger generation too. But combined that's definitely not a big part.

There're plenty of polls about views on Russian-Ukraine war. And views are pretty one sided.

Another division is people who were moved here by soviet government. It's not uncommon that the old generation, born outside of Lithuania, lives in Russian media, sometimes not even speaking Lithuanian after decades of living here. Yet their (grand)children are well integrated into Lithuanian society, including anti-Russian notion.

.... and then we have our own bunch of Russofiles for various reasons. Including among youth, and even what you'd call liberal youth. Some famous people now do incredible stunts to cover pre-Russian-invasion actions. While others stick to their guns.

To get back to topic - here in Germany, we have introduced a special law, the "Maßnahmengesetz" [1], to bypass the usual permit processes and NIMBY/BANANA bullshit for twelve major infrastructure process. Basically, the law is explicitly saying that the projects in its scope are of major national/european importance, have been decided upon democratically and so do not need additional layers of checks and balances. Unfortunately, the EU Commission decided in all its glory that this idea of short-cutting the NIMBYs is a violation of EU law and so everything is under question again [2]

My experience (datapoint 1, working on ecocar in college a decade ago) was that they are exceedingly defensive revealing info about the CAN message format. It would likely require reverse engineering the protocol in order to make any apps that actually interface with the car somehow. Making a fully standalone app would be possible, but limited in usefulness.
Nothing because it's a nonsense government press release "project" that will likely never happen, and if it does happen it won't be because politicians helped in any way.

The developers may not be aware of the full consequences of what they've been asked to do.

I was recently discussing the Uber revelations in an ethical tech group that I run. The most shocking part for me was that at one time the app was designed to behave differently depending on whether the user was categorised as law enforcement based on their usage history.

This surely required complicity at all levels, from management down to engineers and testers.

But someone point out quite astutely that such a feature can be generically framed as "optimise/adapt behaviour based on historical usage". It makes business sense to categorise a user's profession and alter ride costs based on that. All that's needed then is to give a higher-up the control over a dial that effectively nullifies law enforcement's ability to get a ride.

> the average US citizen would still be better off than the average Chinese citizen

By what metrics? As an example, longevity is slightly higher in China than in US (77.30 years vs 77), it is GROWING in China while decreasing in US, or china has a transportation system that is orders of magnitude better than the US one. Ever heard of the high speed train system and how quickly was it built?

Median income alone isn't enough to judge the quality of life of a country. I'd rather be poorer but live longer and in a country that works also for non-millionaires, but you can take more money with the lower longevity if you prefer.

The rest of your comment doesn't back that up. The hyperloop potentially solves the problem of air travel out competing railways even though air travel has enormous environmental costs and generally sucks due to overhead in transits and small cabins.

The problem with hyperloop is as you say actually building it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't solve a problem. It just means it has its own practical problems that aren't even technical.

I love bare metal work, and part of me would love to go back to it, but it's really hard to justify: hardware product cycles are extremely slow, full-time remote positions are unheard-of, and pay is no more than half of what you can get for much cushier work in the software world. It makes more sense as a hobby than a profession.

I think that's far to vague to be workable and sounds incredibly expensive (unless everyone uses those loopholes).

Storing data on user's devices isn't great, it takes up storage space (adding cost) and relies on the user to manage the backups (which lots of folks don't do). Users also switch between devices, so you'd need some sort of cross-device syncing or something.

e2ee implies that the data can only be decrypted by the user's key. If the user loses their key, they lose data access. Since keys are user managed you need to deal with user support/education and build interfaces to support key management. e2ee isn't something you can bolt on an existing system. This sounds quite expensive to implement, so you'll shift significant funds away from other development (destroying innovation).

If today I'm running a Django site that allows users to message each other, do I need to change from my server-side template rendered system to a client-side rendered system?

For loop holes, I'd expect people to claim that they can't rely on device storage, need to support multiple devices, need to support customers who can't manage keys, perform heavy-weight rendering that would consume too much device battery and run slowly, etc.

These ideas are very 2020s focused. As the software industry evolves, would we need to convince politicians to allow us to use better technology that challenges assumptions we have today?
