Not really aware of anyone against charcoal other than the industry where we destroy american forests to make charcoal that we ship to europe to burn. Which 1) wastes energy from shipping that almost certainly isn't green and 2) destroys ecosystems that we need to begin rejuvenating in order to stabilize the climate system

Except you did. There are pretty specific legal definitions of "on call", what it means and when you get paid for it in almost every jurisidiction. I've never seen one that pays you time and a half for being "on call". This is not the same if you get called and actually work overtime; that's regular rules. How a company entices (or doesn't) for taking a shift is up to them.

How are then the institutions going to sell us the narrative that all is well and growth is always good, once we realize poor people stay poor and rich people get richer?
In my opinion, the web in general should be retired. It's ultimately a technology originally designed for rich documents that has been feature-creeped to be a general-purpose application platform, and that results in a variety of issues. I think we should move towards using domain-specific open standards.

I've been very careful to not wade into one of these threads too readily, as when I read them, I almost always find a huge range of variability around what people understand or don't understand about forests, soils, or ecosystem scale biogeochemical cycling. There also seem to be some very assertive, and often very uninformed claims around voluntary versus compliance marketplaces, and what role nature based mitigation efforts play currently or might play in the future.

However, it's becoming increasingly clear that most authors in the pop science journalism space have a limited capacity for understanding the nuance or uncertainties associated with remote sensing models and principles of biogeochemistry. As well, the armchair analysts make many wrong assumptions about forests, forestry, or how carbon cycling works.

Number one, is that forests work as long term carbon storage and sinks. There are often claims made around what forests can or cant do with regards to carbon cycling, and almost always they tend to fundementally misunderstand how carbon cycling, and nutrient cycling work in relationship to long term carbon stability. Not used taking advantage of forests and their ability to represent both (relatively, 10's-100's yr) short term stores of carbon, as well as less labile longer term storage pools (100's-1000's yr). We've been basically mining the world's forests and haven't even remotely attempted using natural ecosystems ability to not only sequester carbon, but to provide significant opportunities for climate resilience.

Granted, we have an extraordinary limited understanding of the upper and lower bounds of many of these systems, but that's hardly any argument that we can't engage with and begin learning about the potential of these systems.

I have been trying not to comment on any of this discussion, but You just hit a nerve for me (in a good way!).

resolv.conf: near and dear to my heart

Don't edit manually...: if it is cattle (most servers and IoT) - ok, I move on. If it is a pet (any of my main laptops), whoa. Stop what I'm doing and track down the software that did this. Purge it or re-write the offending code to not mess with stuff. Track down what was relying on this behaviour and purge. Rinse, repeat.

FWIW, I am running Slackware, OpenBSD, and sometimes FreeBSD on my pets (they are all installed it's just that I mostly live in the first two). Also, I find it hard to not have all the different man pages always available (no, I don't have a constant Internet connection - Security policies).
I was an extra in an indie film because a friend asked me to help out. Lo and behold - I now have an IMDB page - presumably the film producer added me.

Fast forward a year and now there are 5 films credited to my name. I had nothing to do with 4 of them. I am unclear how and why this is happening.
Because you don't ever sign an agreement with them. They just collect your data from all the other entities you do business with. Your bank, your landlord, your employer, your credit card company, etc.
A bit of topic. Does anyone know, why the english Wikipedia site about the JFK movie does not talk about what was fiction, what was true in the movie and what is unknow? On the german page about the movie, they have a lot about it.

I understand there are differences in languages. But in this case, in english, the most important information is missing. So it's just a movie, all fiction?!?

Tax the fucking carbon
You write that in a tone of contradiction, but I don't see what in my comment contradicts that.
One thing that this article is also kinda missing is the base compensation. Some companies (e.g. FB) are in the top 90th percentile or so of the industry but then don't pay on-call compensation..

But that means that in one case you make 200k base, have an on-call and don't get any extra on-call money.
In the other case you make 140k base, have an on-call and get 10k extra on-call money.

Ultimately you end up doing the same work but one of them gets paid less.

Deglobalization -- In the US, we're about to be forced to rebuild all the manufacturing we outsourced since the 1970s. It's not going to go well for thos countries dependent on imported food or energy.

It's possible a billion people will face famine in the next year or two as a result of the loss of grain from Russia and Ukraine, along with the loss of Fertilizers (or being priced out of them)

Energy Blindness -- We're so used to having free flowing oil cheap enough to burn for energy, it's an assumption built into everything. Unless we plan for the end of easy to reach oil, we could have supply chains collapsing everywhere.
It's pretty unlikely this will do anything to improve that
> If we want to be honest and about what is effective, it's not taking that flight and keeping that oil in the ground.

Engine noise inside the vehicle is horrible and I don't know why anyone would want it. Engine noise outside the vehicle probably reduces the rates at which collisions occur.
Hardware Opus decoders are completely unnecessary for desktops, and probably so for laptops or even phones I think. It's possible it substantially improves battery life in small-battery headphones and such, or it's physically impossible for headphone Bluetooth chips to support CPU decoding. But I doubt Opus is any harder to implement in hardware (or DSP firmware) than LC3 (which I don't know if it's easy to implement, but I assume they're trying to get hardware to support it).

This country was founded on the principle of separation of church and state. It's not a Christian country. It's a country that happens to have Christians living in it.

> 74 million people voted in 2020 for a loudly Christian president and vice president.

Actually, 155 million people voted for a Christian president and VP. It's just that the Christian that got 81 million votes has a largely opposite take on this question.

> As for secular morality preachers, I didn't know they exist.

Literally anyone who gives moral advice without couching it in religion would qualify. Secular humanism enjoys some popularity.

> I wonder how they deal with moral standards if they're not set in stone, as they're believed to be in the Bible.

I don't think you have a good grasp on morality. Or on religion.

Nothing about the interpretation of the Bible is set in stone. It is interpreted this way and that to suit the the zeitgeist, or the personal interests of the chap behind the pulpit (or his friends).

Twenty different people look at it, and come up with completely contradictory conclusions about completely basic, fundamental things. And the vision that wins out is often the one with more guns and spearpoints and dollars behind it.

> Tomorrow killing Jews might become the moral thing to do.

Tomorrow?

Why not look at yesterday? Christian persecution of Jews is a millenia-old on-and-off tradition, which is a little difficult to reconcile with the so-called involatile morality. As would the heavily-Christian South, that only a century and a half ago fought a civil war with the heavily-Christian North over the right to enslave black people.

When the exact same founding documents produce such radically different conclusions, I think it's pretty clear that religious morality is about as involatile and set in stone as quicksand.
Rape and murder are extreme crimes and of course no financial loss is equal to them but there are other violent crimes that have less of an impact compared to losing money.

You might be thinking about someone stealing a person's TV but what about their life savings. What about a corporation that goes bankrupt because of financial misdeeds and people lose their jobs? My dad lost his job in the mid 90s and the effects on my family involved massive stress for years.

Financial concerns/economy seems to be the most important issue to voters in almost every election ever.

It's the 5th highest reason for divorce at 36% (https://www.insider.com/why-people-get-divorced-2019-1)

It can also can result in physical issues. Maybe you can't afford healthy food, maybe you can't afford health care due to financial loss.

I couldn't find statistics but I can't imagine that in cases of theft being repaid 100% or even 50% of your loss occurs that frequency (but no source so..)

In other words some financial crimes are worse than violent crimes.
> Almost but not quite linear in shape.

Seems like the intended meaning based on context.

> Some companies hire dedicated tech people whose only job is to be oncall, handle alerts, and improve the oncall infrastructure. This role is called ‘DevOps Engineer’ at some companies, SRE (Site Reliability Engineer) at others, and may also be called ‘Operations Engineer.’

Any company that I've seen put SRE/"DevOps"/... as the sole primary on-call rotation basically just created a glorified operations team.

Unless you have shared pain for botched releases, you will never get rid of these problems.
Then maybe they should pay people to be ready to fix bugs 24/7.

They won’t. No one will. They want their salaried employees to also be firefighters and the premise is absurd.

I don’t take calls at night; you cannot reach me. What are they gonna do, fire me?

Good joke. I run interviews and staffing someone who knows their left hand from their right is nearly impossible. Leverage works wonders.

- The enemies have randomized speed and use lead pursuit; this is quite effective at preventing them from stacking up behind the player like they do in similar games

- Enemies only turn left and will turn all the way around in order to turn right -- you can make them dance in the middle of the map by circling clockwise along the wall, or stall them by moving back and forth

- It's pretty common to make players slide along walls when moving against them at an angle. That does make less sense for a tank, though.
It's common for firefighters to work 24 hour shifts.
SRE actually aligns pretty neatly with systems administration (and thus, in principle ITSM)

DevOps itself as a concept was born in nebulous circumstances (“dev-ops days” being where the verbiage comes from but the founder of that conference called the job “agile systems administration; and the concepts espoused by the devops movement being almost exclusively borne out of the “10+ deploys a day” talk from Flickr).

Anyway, SRE is not materially different than Sysadmins except in three dimensions:

1. Hire only programmers, none of those operators who click buttons.

2. Treat reliability as if it is its own feature.

3. Solidify the contract between feature folks and people focusing on reliability.

I’d like Ben Treynor-Sloss to weigh in here as he likely knows best, but that’s the most condense version of what I understood

You’re right about the exchange people, but they too suffered title inflation, the exchange folks used to be called IT technicians.

The people automating AD deployments across sites and managing reliability were sysadmins, and they programmed in the most ugliest of languages to achieve that, autounattended.xml and bat files for days.

The tools are better now, but the work that devops/SRE’s do in most companies today is why sysadmins used to do in 2008-
The deep ocean is a great place to look for such mysteries too, we have such a limited view of it, and it's _such_ an alien place in a lot of ways.
I wouldn't say it's scary. There's always been full transparency with the caveats and they're being lifted incrementally. https://twitter.com/l0kod/status/1556378406983458818 The workarounds are perfectly reasonable. Also take into consideration that Landlock is so simple as a security tool, that it really opens itself up to people like us being able to focus in on the opportunities for improvement. A lot of security stuff, like containers, is so byzantine that no one would enjoy having open discussions about their design. Landlock has felt different to me, simply because we are having these conversations, and it's been so engaging that it really makes me want to believe in Torvald's whole mythology about the many eyeballs.

Email me if there's anything I can do to help Ninja adopt Landlock. The Cosmopolitan Libc pledge() and unveil() implementations are written to be relatively easy to transplant into other codebases. I'd love to see a broader audience benefiting from our work.
These kind of opinions are increasing in frequency and they all seem poorly reasoned to me. Yes, there are standards organizations to make sure that, for instance, tree farms aren't just logging their trees and selling the same plots for offsets again. The author makes the point that the timeframes are too long, but that just strikes me as thinking similar to "planting trees doesn't work, we need x instead!" When the point is that every little bit helps.

Given good enough standards, it just means that while carbon offset opportunities are plentiful, they'll be cheap - and as they become more popular, the price will increase, and this is a good thing.

I also really dislike the "corporations are trying to avoid responsibility by passing it on to the people!" argument, because it just seems a lazy argument designed to remove any personal agency. Corporations are made out of people. If people didn't exist, neither would the corporations. If demand for a corporations products or services dried up, the corporation would cease to exist. As corporations reduce their emissions, the per-person carbon footprint shrinks. In the US, the per-person carbon footprint is lower than it used to be. They're related. Communicating a per-person carbon footprint increases people demanding corporations reduce emissions. If the per-person carbon footprint were a scheme developed by corporations to avoid accountability, it seems a very poorly-thought-out and ineffective scheme from those corporations.
I keep a somewhat updated page on my personal site for this exact question.

"Scholars say the biggest reason for Japan's very high conviction rate is the country's low prosecution rate and the way Japan calculates its conviction rate is different from other countries.[2][3][4] According to them, Japanese prosecutors will prosecute only the very few cases in which they are most likely to be guilty and not many others."

You can write whatever tartufferie you want to hide the fact.

You didn’t even understand the basic of negative interest. By inverting who pays who.

Surely you avoided that negative oil barrel price events showing how much those smart ads financial boys can be more stupid than common sense.

After that you talk about unemployment which was not the topic here and is irrelevant in this talk. When there is free money you don’t need to fight to get it. I hope this is something easy to understand.
Most of the time the free money is injected into market to buy back stock and keep value at top. In order to fake the reality that most company aren’t sustainable without this free money.

You should read about John Law and the conclusion of the first attempt of printing money for free…

But if not, then you are welcome to stay in your fantasy financial bubble and keep your sarcasm to your other brainwashed mates.

> It is a data serialization format intended to be read by software.

This really... doesn't matter. Humans read and write it all the time. If everybody is getting annoyed at it because they're reading it, they have every right to wish it was more human-readable, hence trying to make it so. There's nothing wrong with that.
I don't think most people here understand how labour laws work. "On call" is a well defined concept and IME universally allowed. Any Western jurisidictions DOES require you to pay someone when they actually get called. If it's overtime or not follows the regular rules for how that's calculated, same with time off and maximum work periods.

What we're discussing here is how companies encourage and reward (or don't) for the inconvenience and impact of staying near your computer, not going out of town, or being woken up in the middle of the night. None are going to pay you time and a half on regular work commitments because you might get called.

Jobs like a fire fighter are completely different. They work a scheduled shift and either respond to calls OR do other work during that time. They're not really on-call as much as prioritizing work. They also don't get 1.5x for their regular scheduled work.
The two Constantines are two different people, even though they’re played by the same actress. Morpheus explicitly calls out working with her ancestor, who is the one we saw in Hobbs story.

More importantly she doesn’t recognize Morpheus despite working with him.
I can think of at least one nation that disagrees: Germany.

To quote Wikipedia "In some other places like Germany and a number of other countries, it is considered human nature to want to escape from a prison and it is considered as a violation of the right of freedom, so escape is not penalized in itself (in the absence of other factors such as threats of violence, actual violence, or property damage)."

I don't think you understand how scams work. They're engineered so that somebody will fall for them. If we made everybody 10% smarter, scammers would just make their scams 10% cleverer.

I also think a linear "smartness" model misses it. Both intelligence and knowledge are multidimensional. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses, and well-run scams target particular weaknesses.
Okay, so you're saying that everyone but you is too stupid to understand the question. But you also don't understand that the question here is about carbon credits, not about carbon sequestration or any biological process.
Because, and I can't stress this enough, if I am at home cooking dinner or reading or playing video games, I am not working, so 2/3 of my entire weekend is more than 3/2 of time worked unless I am working 9-5 all day Sunday responding to pages, which no one is.

Time and a half for hours worked is only > that 2/3 for time not worked if you're working 50% of the time, which you aren't, at least not regularly.
Well, Google is explicitly listed (about halfway down) as paying a percentage, and they're the only ones that are. In my (very limited) experience, it's generally been a flat rate regardless of salary, so I'd go the other way and believe that the majority do, indeed, do that.

Your second point is definitely a major concern, though - the author talks about it (calling out Amazon and Twilio as particularly bad), but doesn't provide any sort of hard data on what the workload is like, possibly because it varies heavily even between teams or groups within the same company.
