I think we're still puzzling it out, as there's both radiative forcing and contrails (the vapor, or condensation trails planes emit).

If you check out these two emission factors from the UK government, one taking radiative forcing and contrails into effect and one not:

Small EVs and their riders are a city menace. They hardly ever use roads--though they are allowed to, just like bicyclists are--and instead roam the sidewalks, expecting pedestrians to get out of the way and getting angry if they don't.

The cities that get it right, in my opinion, divide all vehicles into either unpowered or powered. Powered vehicles use roads and are subject to regulations; those that do not fit any regulated class (eg. being too new) are illegal by default.

TIL evolutionary psychology is a thing :/

Well, I don't believe that evolution has anything to do with psychology, except being a huge random factor. While evolution had impact on human psychology, it is not something that can be explored with science, there are no reasons (or: too many), no concepts (or: all of them too blurry to be useful), no laws, and no way to verify anything.

Irish also, but different perspective. (Have lived away for past 5 years & reflected from afar on our relationship to alcohol)

- Strongly dislike the cultural glorification of getting excessively drunk, but can't deny it's there - the stereotype is not based on fiction.
- Also strongly like the international reputation we have as being hospitable, fun, and friendly (as evidenced by the comment above), which is essentially a positive stereotype.
- In my experience when meeting new people, acknowledgement-that-the-Irish-are-drinkers (in a non-antagonistic way) is not in itself harmful, and can often be a good ice breaker and rapport builder. As in, the stereotype itself is not the harmful part. Most people I've encountered tend not to make negative assumptions, are smart enough to reason about group vs individual behaviour, and give the benefit-of-the-doubt, and those who don't have a being-an-asshole problem, not a infected-by-a-stereotype problem.
- My reading of the comment above was that the spirit was non-asshole-y.

It's reminiscent of socialist realism -- with a modern, tech twist. The favored art-style of woke companies. It's their vision of utopia: a rainbow of skin tones, but everyone belonging to the same global monoculture.

that's a joke based on a particular economic theory, by humor the flaws in the theory are indicated, I'm pretty sure every economist walking by 20 bucks on the sidewalk will pick it up.

I don't think farmers have any particular theory that land growing grass cannot grow anything else or their parents would already have done that. So the analogy is really stretched thin.
A couple of months ago I read on various SEO blogs (they all seem to mostly copy and paste each other with little original research) that these days it is less about keywords and technical things like semantic html, but if and how long people engage with the search result.

E.g. if a link to your page is shown to the user in search and they don't click or they return to search page too quickly, Google sees this as a signal that the result was not helpful.
Most people will not host their own. They'd still be in someone else's garden.

I think both can be correct. Some people tend to exaggerate their wealth by buying stupid expensive shit (like clothes/car/etc..). Some people hide their riches by going cheap and not talking about their investments or second-houses.

If you get to know the person more, you can actually know/guess. Usually, it's a redflag that deviates from what their standard is. (ie: A big purchase, having significant instruments that are only accessible to privileged people, or struggling to pay a small a bill when they have an expensive car)
I've seen thousands of toilets in my life, my policy to finding a toilet in a music festival would be to choose the first one that's "good enough", no need to choose the best one.

In my point of view, this policy is more relevant if you have no prior knowledge about the subject you are evaluating. Even when choosing secretaries, how often it is that you want to find the absolute best one?

> 6. 3 modifiers on the left, 3 right please! (not 4-left/2-right)

One of the first things I look at. Not very easy to find…
I know it's boring and too simple for people to cope with, but a carbon tax solves this problem.

At the correct carbon price, which would only be about 10% more for flights, you could just take whatever transport was cheapest and that's it. Job done, planet saved.

The trains and boats and planes would compete to offer faster, cheaper transport. Some people would choose to do other things.

It's systemic change we need, not individuals re-arranging their travel plans on what they vaguely feel is a better way.

Most of the changes are utterly boring, like apparently cargo ships can save money and carbon by going 10% slower.

Business cases for little plane sized hydrofoil boats will open up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT26zF6Y2Bs

Or e-methanol powered ships or whatever. It doesn't really matter what the eventual solution is, what matters is that we start pricing in the externalities.

Luckily, we as a global society are actually doing this, and having far more impact than any individual ever could, but we could have done this faster and cheaper, and we still could accelerate it if we understand this.

On the particular topic of transatlantic flights, regional air mobility looks likely to be a thing, so this same plan could work just with electric planes at either end rather than/as well as trains. And carbon taxes would probably push us in that direction.
No that's the worst rule of thumb. That's how you end up with lynch mobs, witch burning etc.
> Proprietary software simply isn't part of the project and discussing stuff that are besides the project goals on project channels is not welcome.

Yes, and I believe that this attitude harms community building, education and adoption efforts. You specifically use the words "not welcome". Other, more welcoming projects typically don't use such language outside of a Code of Conduct policy document. I'm pointing out that I've been made to feel unwelcome and you're saying that is entirely harmless.

Do you see the problem?
Very cool, I know it looked like an aside but it really was cool to see all of that information in the blog post!
The physical nature of sexuality isn't an issue that affects many

> the frequency of intersex is almost certainly less than 0.02%

is the quote in the paper.

( More broadly, the 'restricted' definition falls just under that percentage:

> "conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female", the prevalence of intersex is about 0.018%
)

However on a societal scale it is sufficient number of people to present issues that need addressing.

1 in 2,000 is 10 in 20,000 is 100 in 200,000 is 1,000 in 2 million (the ~ pop. of my state capital city) is 10,000 at least in Australia (now well past 20 million).

This is more than enough to justify the changes to the Australian passport system made decades ago, expanding what was previously a forced binary choice to better represent actual reality.

And yet, our author of the linked paper still moves to claim:

> This has not stopped the misconception that “sex is not binary” from spreading, ...

mere paragraphs after agreeing on the frequency of the clearly non binary people.
I hope this works. Unfortunately the skeptic / realist in me is concerned it will be the new recycled plastic. That is, we recycle a very small percentage. But we rationalize increasing our dependence on plastic by believing "oh, we'll just recycle it."

In fact, I believe there were rumours of Big Plastic promoting and manipulating the narrative around recycling to its advantage.

Why would PFASs be any different?
Oh, there are plenty. First of all, actual energy production with fossil fuel. Second, better insulation/ventilation of existing houses to reduce heating/AC costs. While we are at it, we can fit solar panels on roofs, it will give us more electricity hence less fossil fuel to burn. Electric cars too, the tech is already there. Steel production (and other heavy industry) accounts for 8% of global emissions afaik. Meat production estimates vary a lot: from 9% to 35% or so.

I know it is very controversial, but I'd rather go vegan than give up air travel.

The lack of failures, felt pain, time to reflect.. in combination with the hubris of 20-smth youth isn't a recipe for good software engineering I don't think.
It's only a part of it that is multiple choice, the "outrage" exists because answering all the multiple choice questions randomly can get you a passing grade.

The reason being the passing grade was already low, close to 30% of the entire test and was lowered even more in 2022.

There is also some ranting about some cherry-picked questions that are really reading a graph. I had a look at the test linked by another comment, and I have to say the guy is over reacting, the test is age appropriate, the passing score is super low, but so what, I don't even get why the test has a passing score, you could just get a score.

Also this is a test for children finishing junior high, there is no reason to have a high bar, it probably does not matter.
Nazi warcrimes were punished retroactively for a number or reasons, political and not. One of the most important ones was that what the Nazis did was blatanly wrong. You can't seriously claim that killing millions of people can be justified simply because there isn't a law about it, it's something so intrinsically evil that you can't rely on pure formality.

Arguably, refusing to publish literally every single document pertaining to proprietary hardware is not on the same level of obivous malpractice as a genocide, so I think you could have proposed a milder example to argue your point.
Maybe on a "does it compile" and "does it work" level you might be the same as a fresh grad, but I'm sure you have years of experiences that help you make decisions and think of possible pitfalls. Plus each new language over the years is easier and easier to pick up.

The bank secrecy act, which required financial institutions to start tracking and reporting to the government large or suspicious cash transactions, was passed in 1970. So unless your dad completely avoided banks, you are misinformed about what privacy he had.

Honestly, a researcher should know better to not plagiarize or to give attribution better than that. This is core in their job. If they do exactly this in their papers, it's going to be bad for them and they know it.

It's good they linked to the original post and that the link is the first thing we see, but nothing says that it's the source, and no paragraph explains that the content comes from elsewhere.

I also don't see why the content should be copy-pasted instead of just a link.

Abstracts should be less than a page in any discipline (at least the ones I've encountered - computer science, maths, geography, linguistics, Eng. lit...).

Good "unstructured" (section-less) abstracts are about three paragraphs long and follow the structucture "what is the problem?" - "What is the state of the art regarding solution proposals?" - "Shortcomings of these that motivated this paper" - "What is proposed here as an alternative?" - [What are the key results?].

People are divided as to whether results should go into the abstract: some say the abstract should be a teaser that entices people to read the paper, others say the abstract should be a self-contained distillation of the paper itself.

Structured abstracts are often nearly a page (common in the life sciences): they have explicit section headings like "Method", "Data", "Findings" etc., which is a great idea and should be embraced in all empirical disciplines at least, IMHO.

As per someone above:

">emissions tend to do more damage at high altitude than they do at ground level

I've always been a bit dismissive of aviation as a carbon emissions contributor because globally it only accounts for around 2%. Thanks for pointing this out, I was unaware of this fact. Is the relationship between altitude and warming effect known? Are we talking linear or something worse?"
Not all pastoral land is able to yield crops though.

There's a reason that Wyoming is home so many ranches, while San Joaquin valley is overwhelmingly money crops like grapes, almonds, and pistachios.

Some fertility problems (hardening, soil compaction) can be fixed in places like the Steppe and the northern American plains, but retention, drainage, and composition are inherent to the environment, and crop yield is one of those things that's damn near exponential to its inputs.

Honestly I'm glad that the terrain is at least useful for some purpose, out in the Appalachian mountains the % of land that can either support crops or livestock is incredibly small.

Have you looked for jobs at companies where you are already working with their product? e.g. Gitlab, VSCode, Ubuntu, Firefox, Grafana, Kafka etc.

I recently got a job at a company where I was already using their product, and I now feel that I'm actually working on a product that I think is worth working on. It's worth remembering though that at the end of the day work is work, and maybe you ended up doing what you do because you loved doing it when you were younger (e.g. programming). As a professional your day to day work isn't going to be 100% doing something that you love, but there's all sorts of other things going on that need your attention.
> Why would PFASs be any different?

Aren't PFAS actually dangerous on their own, regardless of their persistence in the environment? Far more so than plastics. I can't speak for others, but when I avoid PFAS, it's entirely due to the dangers; I don't think about the persistence at all when I'm trying to avoid PFAS (though this isn't to say I don't care about it).
> i don't remember hopper being part of the story (although i've never been one for names).

You are right, I might have been mistaken in understanding her sentence “We finally located...”. I’ve added a note about it that at the end of my comment:

> Edit 2: the comment by psychoslave links to the Wikipedia page without further context, and there it says that Hopper was not present when the moth was found: [...]

> I haven’t been able to find any clear mention by Grace Hopper on whether she was there when the moth was found: in the video I linked at the top she might have said “They finally located” instead of “We finally located” as I heard. If she wasn’t there, then Lunduke’s article would be, AFAICT, completely correct. It is in any case way more correct than others I’ve read.
History shows that in many cases the community would blame the victim instead.
