I'm quite worried about the viability of CO2 offset markets in the absence of legislative action from the US. Since the Supreme Court and Joe Manchin seem to have doomed our chances for stricter CO2 emissions regulation, what's going to incentive companies to purchase more offsets? Is there hope from Europe? China?

I've been calling them "Lessons from the Lunar Landings". Today, I've published an index of sorts and I'd like to share it with you, in hope that it's of interest.

Google's push notification framework is baked into the kernel. There is no way to make a competing framework as efficient as Google's solution in Android, so next to no app supports something else.

Every app you see working without Google's tools is simply using good old long polling or periodically looks for new messages. Both are very inefficient and slow.

I work in a union shop, and ive been in shops that have unionized.

before the inks dried the company is going to throw every single thing they have at you to fight. youll get calls, youll get meetings, youll get your hours chopped stretched and moved all over the place. management will tell you what youre doing is illegal, that they can close the shop and walk away, that all your benefits will go away.

and in the end, youll take a 15k raise, pick up some nice new PPE, sit at the same table as management and ask them to recall why they said all these things that werent true while they tell you they do not comment on any prior business conducted outside of a union agreement.

our union ended mandatory overtime, slashed shift injuries, got healthier vending machines, and got health insurance for everyone.

Not to argue for or against unions.

But in the US the history of unions often ended up with ties to organized crime. In addition unions seemed to become more interested in serving the needs of the union rather than the well being of the workers. One example is a buddy of mine that had to be party of a bag boys union who had to end up paying basically the entirety of a pay check in union dues each month simply to be employed, without him getting anything from it.

From what I understand there is a literal and figurative ocean of difference between the unions in the EU and the US.

I'll further add that trying to conflate the two is a tactic I've often seen used by dishonest people to manipulate the conversation.
> Far more busses operated in Chicago/NYC etc in 1970 than streetcars in 1920.

Different times, the system now evolved from a state where streetcars were removed so they can't be compared in that way. Chicago/NYC was a very different place than it was in 1920, itself would change in ways because of a bus system vs streetcars.
Traffic lights can be tied to bus traffic - if a bus approaches give it way (both by letting other traffic flow away as well as keeping green till the bus crossed) Doesn't work for all situations but can give 80% green wave, even where bus lines cross.

However then bus is still slower than a subway on long distance. A subway can take a more or less straight line, while busses have to follow roads. Also passengers typically expect denser stops with busses. Also by being alone on the track a subway can go faster as max speed.

But even with subway on long distance, bus can connect with high density to subway, so that more people can reach the station.

You're putting up a bit of a strawman, early. I didn't say it "should be banned," at least not yet. It is possible for something to be evil -- or let's put it lighter -- a net negative, and still one could see that trying to ban it is a bad thing.

There's nothing new about that model; having a client interpret an application from a server is as old as computing itself.

> I think the uniform interface and the benefits of a RESTful network architecture are useful even if the software you are using isn't a "browser".

Except it can't be used for anything other than a "browser" either a real browser or something like hyperview. That's fine but it hardly suggests that it should be necessary.
I don't see why anyone would agree to that. In fact, I can see it being far more likely that chess experts believe it ends in a win for white considering that today white is favored, to the point where if offered a quick draw, black will almost certainly take it (unless they need a win to move up a rank in a tournament, etc).
So there's actually three different components involved with this. Someone else has already mentioned the possibility of cars that just lie to your phone and say you pressed the play button because "well the user connected their phone they must want music".

The OS itself is also responsible for managing where that "play" command goes, and because this is a mobile device it also manages what apps are in memory, which one owns media playback, etc. If nothing is currently playing, it has to pick something, because you pressed the play button and you're currently driving down an overextended highway at unconscionably American speeds and can't be arsed to care about what app's play button needs to be pressed.

Individual apps can also grab or drop the media playback role at any time. Maybe that game has some background sync nonsense to send you a bunch of notifications, and whenever it gets woken up to do that the game engine it was written on immediately tries to start media playback because nobody tested it for background use.

Music's inconsistent behavior sounds like someone didn't implement state resumption correctly.

The underlying problem is that nobody owns the whole experience and this all is supposed to happen without projecting selection UI to the user. The phone just hears "PLAY MUSIC DAMN YOU" and makes a shitty guess as to what you meant.
I'm not any of those guys, and of those 3 rust is by far the least garbage. Garbagicity is a spectrum.

> Btw who would use remote logging to begin with?

It's not about remote logging like "we log to somewhere else" but rather about including information from remote sources (specifically JDNI) in your log messages. If you are ingesting logs from a bunch of microservices, it would obviously be desirable to know which instance you're in, and just include that in the logger pattern. Or if you have multiple containers in a single tomcat instance, you might want to have the log message include which container it's coming from (especially for the console). Multi-container tomcat used to be VERY common in pet-style legacy java deployments - it's much slimmer on memory, although it does come with the caveat that GC pauses affect all containers. But that container/server information isn't built into the jar, it's runtime data, and the easiest source for getting that information is... connecting to the tomcat server via JNDI and pulling instance information.

But oops, they populated the JDNI string values after the message was already built, meaning that any log message that included a JDNI handle would be executed automatically on its own. And JNDI is basically a whole inner-platform, including the ability to classload arbitrary code from remote sources, because "lol why not, it's java enterprise code, we're building the future here!", so basically any user-controlled log message could include a JDNI link to arbitrary code and it would be downloaded and run.

(the JDNI being built after the rest of the message was populated was obviously the wrong place to do it for exactly this reason... that is really the core problem here, user-controlled JDNI is absolutely not acceptable given the capabilities, but, it's not like I've never written bad code... there but by the grace of god, go I. Although again, that one is pretty obviously a problem just conceptually.)

Incidentally though "remote logging" really isn't inherently insane as a concept, it's conceptually reasonable that some kinds of important messages might want to be logged into Kafka or JDBC, and 15 years ago there wasn't the overwhelming consensus on "write to disk first, ingest it later" being the right way to get it there. If you want to be really really sure that certain super-important messages are committed, and you don't mind the latency, why not just poke it directly? Then you never have to worry about logs getting dropped on disk/etc and not making it there. And by running it through log4j you don't have to do anything special at an application level, you just define certain packages and message levels as being important and you don't have to re-invent the wheel on the message-building framework/etc. And sure log4j ended up having vulnerabilities but your personal implementation may have vulnerabilities too - how sure are you about your string handling and escaping, could a message spoof what looks like a valid log entry? that's a common one. It just turns out that JDNI was a vastly bigger attack surface than initially realized...

This is completely normal for laws.

Tournament jobs is the general term. [1] It's also the case that some professions have a rather limited number of slots that offer someone a decent living of which professional sports leagues are a good example. Basically being the 300th best software developer (or engineer or chemist etc.) probably means you can get a pretty good job. Being the 300th best basketball player may mean you're a car salesman or teaching high school gym classes.

Streetcar companies were universally reviled (as most effective monopolies tend to be, like US cable or power companies), and their status quo actually was worse than what was being introduced for cars, because they pretty much all had flat price caps and were expected to pay maintenance for city streets they operated on.

It also doesn't help that a fair amount of streetcars were just land speculation plays (let's sell all this land that's newly accessible!). When they needed full replacement and renewal, they no longer had anything to finance it with.

Blackberry was never "massive" in the same way that either Android or Apple are today. Blackberry had about 85 million users at its peak and while that sounds like a lot, it was essentially a fancy phone for checking emails and such, and is nowhere near the pervasive penetration in all aspects of society that have happened since then. All sorts of daily activities are harder – or even outright impossible – without an Android or iPhone.

> At the same time, a lot of us who are “working” are actually doing bullshit nonsense that is created just to keep us busy.

I am not going to argue that some work is more essential than other work, but I disagree that some jobs are created just to keep people busy. Why would anyone hire someone just to make sure they stayed busy? That is simply not happening. The people who control the money aren't worried about keeping people busy, they are worried about making more money.

Now, is there a large part of our economy that only exists because people who have capital will pursue anything in order to grow their capital? Yes, absolutely, but those jobs still exist because someone else will give them money to obtain what the job produces. Companies aren't sitting around thinking, "oh man, too many people in the world aren't busy... let's create some more useless jobs"

Uhhhhhh. My portable ac requires a window to vent to. Not for a thermos amount of air but a constant stream of lots of air. What are you asking? The condensation? Not all build enough to actually need to be emptied. Read the manuals for them.

Like, ok, here is what happens with an AC. A condenser unit pressurizes gas that gets cold and hot. Fan moves air over the cold part that blows into the dwelling. Fan moves over the hot part where air is expelled and is vented. This air is isolated. Condensation happens in all of this and is used to further cool the hot section and that is collected and recirculated in some models. In others it is actively drained.

This is an oversimplification you don't need to correct me also, nerds.
>Then there would be viable alternatives to Facebook and all of the sudden their business model based on hostile tracking becomes completely unsustainable because there's meaningful competition that actually respects their users.

This assumes my problem is with Facebook and Facebook alone. My problem is with ad-tech and more generally all other developers. I know Apple exersts influence beyond their customers and I'm not sympathetic to developers who cry about Apple not letting them run $program.

What the web has shown is that given a free-for-all platform, users lose and any new technology is used to fingerprint people on the web. Apple has provided an option that, sure is a walled garden, but I can be reasonably confident isn't doing something I'm not interested in.

I'm not sure what "harmful effects" of green bubbles are but I'm sure envy isn't as bad as every ad tech company having an NSA style citizen database.

Around 150k per year formally relinquishing Indian citizenship, which may be almost fully accounted for by US, UK, Australia and German immigrants formally renouncing their Indian Citizenship (India does not allow dual citizenship and requires people to give up their Indian passports in exchange for permanent travel privileges to India: https://www.cgisf.gov.in/page/general-information/).

In other words, nothing new. The 25k per person is almost certainly an underestimation: its much more likely to be 50k or above, and India would not have gotten any of that anyway, whether the emigrants gave up Indian Citizenship or not, and pales in comparison to the orders of magnitude higher number of emigrants who have chosen a country other than India to build their futures and produce economic value. Too bad, but people are the primary export of high-population countries such as India, China, the Philippines, and so on, and "loss" of GDP is the normal consequence of that.

> A lot of people say they have a passion what they have is an interest. Anyone who has a real honest to God burning passion is going to be doing it regardless of anything else just because they love it.

You're confusing "would you be pursuing that passion regardless of other factors" with "would/should you sacrifice other aspects of your life if you could still follow that one passion".

It's not about the circumstances under which you're willing to still follow your passion. It's about what sacrifices you're willing to make in your life, regardless of your passion. e.g., you might be willing to go to prison or live in a dumpster and still love writing books so much that you'd continue doing that, but your love for writing books doesn't imply you should be willing to go live in a dumpster. The other factors still matter in your life. They just won't get in the way of you writing, is all.
