How do you do this, without hurting people with 'clunkers' who need said 'clunker' to get to work or the market (because they live in a food desert), and can't really afford to upgrade to greener living because cost of living takes their whole paycheck, and they'd be homeless if they can't afford gas or their car breaks down unless they just started living out of their car?

I'm hesitant to think taxing gas at the pump makes any sense, I think maybe taxing diesel though could be a better thing because diesel is used more commercially by big rigs, which is a tax on commercial industries rather than consumers. Jet Fuel and such should have a very high tax, because that's something most people don't use, and isn't really a 'necessity'. Fuel at ports should also be taxed, and I think ports/airports should be under some global climate action 'congress' or something that ensures equal taxation and carbon offsets globally are being applied.

Though, if we were to use all the tax revenue or at least maybe 50% for UBI to say anyone with < 100k annual salary, I think it wouldn't matter if we taxed everything more evenly including gas at the pump, in fact that'd probably encourage more support for taxing carbon offsets since much of it goes to taxpayers as cash in their pocket.
Agreed, it doesn't strike me as very coherent.

Coincidentally, I was thinking about this very subject the other day. What makes an adult? I think it's multi-dimensional - not just a few but perhaps dozens. All of us mature in various ways, and what we call our "flaws" are merely those dimensions which we have not yet matured to adulthood.

For instance, I've always been a hard worker. I started working at my family's restaurant when I was 10, washing dishes. Along the "don't be lazy" dimension of the childhood/adulthood spectrum, I've been an adult since I was 10. But on the other hand, I still have a very hard time eating vegetables, and in that sense I'm still a child in a 38 year olds body.

> Google version of RCS would cripple iMessage.

Why?

> Basically google wants apple to use its own version of iMessage (conveniently calls it as RCS and make it looks like it is standard)

They want Apple to use RCS exclusively when an Apple user texts a non-Apple user, at which point the iPhone currently falls back to SMS. How is any version of RCS worse than SMS?
Imagine you search Amazon for “blue baseball cap”, they say they found 1,234 items and then you could only see and purchase 10…
Why say you have 10,000,000 search results if you only intend to show 100? What’s the use of the number 10,000,000? To inspire a sense of awe in the user, that you then cannot make good on? To inform the user on some technicality?

At amazon the engineer track has leadership level roles:

SDE I -> SDE II -> SDE III -> Principal Engineer (SDE IV) - you provide technical advisory and strategy across an organization -> Distinguished Engineer/Sr. Principal Engineer etc. (SDE V)

Some choose to stay at SDE III level until the end of their career though since it offers the most freedom to code. You absolutely don’t get fired for this.

This track exists at Oracle and Google. I am not familiar with the others.

There’s a whole book on this: https://staffeng.com/book

When I search for "How do elephants know what time it is", and Google tells me there are "Ungefähr 429.000.000 Ergebnisse" (about 429 million results), what is Google actually telling me?

Thanks for posting here. Some questions: can you confirm that the estimates are unbiased in the statistical sense? Do you have an API for accessing the other ones, the help page for my locale doesn't mention anything? If not, how do you justify showing a very high number of results that users can't access?
For me it was no more malloc and free for every stupid little thing inside every function I had to write (string processing, arrays, etc.) But I was already using Perl for web development (no malloc no free) and I wasn't overly interested in Java. I made some money out of it later on, probably none past 2012. Then always languages with garbage collection, possibly interpreted. I don't like to have to compile and build to deploy.
Thank you for sharing this. An expensive comment but one worth making.
That's a perfect analogy for Google. They only stay in business because they're able to plaster Coke (and other companies ads) all over their websites.
The transaction codes generally follow logic of similar stuff in same place.

But the table and column names are literal german abbreviations. E.g. table AUFK - "SAP Order master data" is named after "Auftrag" (=order).

Column "AUFART" = auftrag art = order type. And often more

When you go into the actual ABAP code of some transactions, it can have comments in German, made by programmers many years ago.

The core of this argument is that dependency == child. But when you really think about it, even radical dependency is implied by civilization [1]. Do what distinguishes the parent-child relationship then? Dependency, yes, but a mutual depend informed by love. An adult is not an adult because of some notion of radical independence, but because the adult accepts responsibility for things that they don’t necessarily control. They provide the space to make systems less strongly coupled.

I have the epub of the book right here. I read it as a result of Charles ascending the throne. It was easy to read it quickly because everything in it I have already read somewhere else.

It's trite, stupid, and surprisingly short. Very little in it is actively wrong (except for the weird mysticism) but absolutely nothing is novel.

It might be passable as a couple of chapters in a high-school textbook about environmental sustainability written by an entry-level copywriting intern. Oh, wait! It was written by two Harper-Collins textbook staffers and Charles' involvement was... well, who knows.

The chapter on the Fibonacci sequence in particular is disappointing and effectively plagiarized from countless "science for the masses" sources that we've all been exposed to before. The whole Fibonacci/nature connection has of course been debunked for about two decades.

I'm interested in your argument "if you dislike this book, you can't possibly have read it," but not very interested.

There isn't a single thing in this book that I and every moderately bright student of my acquaintance didn't already know at the age of 14, bar the details of Charles' own land-holdings and the few events in that have happened in the last three decades.

Oddly few events in the book happened in the last three decades, though.

To call him a "philosopher King" on the basis of this text is absolutely laughable and verges on shameful.

Edit: Perhaps my favorite gaffe in the whole book is the inclusion of a picture of the marbled cone snail (conus marmoreus) in a different chapter than the Fibonacci sequence nonsense.

Charles isn't even sufficiently up to date on his numerological woo to have gone on about the remarkable connection between the marbled and textile snails and cellular automata. Instead the caption just says "Marbled cone shell. The deadly poisons produced by this and other cone shells could provide major medical benefits, but only if we prevent the extinction of these remarkable creatures."

Further edit: I have been too hard on Charles. After reviewing the credits and references, as you recommended, I must conclude the book was ghost-written by two professional textbook authors employed by Harper-Collins and Charles' involvement was at most editorial. It is therefore indeed the creation of a "philosopher king" in that kings must be good at delegation.
But there are tons of trading firms using very sophisticated mathematical modelling. Surely a signal as simple as this is already widely used and therefore, the Alpha has been largely arbitraged out already?
> once a program proved correct

Now that's the incredibly difficult part, as bugs are no stranger to code, let alone code that tries to model the real world with assumptions.

The sin function is actually incredibly incredibly complex (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2284860/how-does-c-compu...) and implimentation are full of implicit and imperfect assumptions (like floating point). Under normal use these errors are silently propogated, and the floating point model well designed enough that for the majority it doesn't matter at all.

Being able to run a model whilst iterating is great, but at the end of the day it's still a model, and could break down.

After suspecting so (when I started receiving multiple reach out from the same Amazon recruiter in one day, all with 24 hour follow ups), I starter replying to some with a short “Sounds great!” or just “Ok” and literally never got a response.

Taking money from an organization that intends to do good and riding it into the ground is sabotage, not charity. At least Marissa Mayer fixed Yahoo up long enough to pull off a sale. Firefox alternates between stagnation and self-injury.
But you can know if it has halted. And if you're a linter, you know how long it took to halt last time. So you can keep track of the times and if it goes from 200ms to 210ms to to 215ms to 10s-and-counting you can let the user know that something significant has changed without being sure that it won't halt any second now.
If you freeze it, that doesn't happen (can get freezer burn but that's a different issue). Freezing a uncut loaf makes it very difficult to consume.
Ehhh, could have written this post and nixed the anecdote at the beginning, I feel like that weakened the insight. When you're married, there's certain gives and takes that you participate in. It doesn't make you childish for not crossing a boundary, however arbitrary it is.

For instance, my wife enjoys pollinator gardens. No, I do not allow noxious or quick spreading weeds despite how well they work for pollinators, and pull those up when I see them. She doesn't allow servers in the master bedroom closet. I keep her geology equipment in the garage. We've worked out non-negotiable boundaries so that we can stay sane, and created workarounds called compromises. I keep my servers upstairs, she cuts rock slabs in an A/C cooled area in the garage, I weed the flower beds and she plants less aggressive native pollinating flowers. If I were to tell someone about my servers, I might let slip that my wife doesn't let me keep them in my closet. Understanding boundaries in a relationship and compromising is probably one of the most adult things there is.
Lots of people are mentioning that you can host these types of things yourself, I want to say that that is not a solution at all.

The entire point of these hosted password services is that they are a turnkey solution - I could give them to my mom, who knows nothing about technology, and trust that they work. I like using a turnkey solution myself even though I could self-host because I don't want to spend brain cycles on solving the "syncing passwords across multiple devices" issue.

I don't quite understand why Bitwarden even needs to have you login in order to access the passwords. Surely you could just have the salted+hashed passwords on device, and Bitwarden just syncs that data from device to device. If you work in an organization and need to revoke access, just change the password. No need to manage whether or not someone is logged in to Bitwarden.
Everybody loves defense, though. As said in another comment: it's too vague. When even strict rules can be bent, vague rules don't mean anything.

(hit save too early): but that's thinking legally. As an inspiration, a way of seeing the world and your work, as a moral guide, it can help. And some people really should wonder if they have taken the right path.

This attitude typically isn't about the "best tool for the job", i.e. do I really need DL or are decision trees or some regression sufficient for what I need to achieve? But about the persistent "you don't need DL at all!" stance.

In a way I understand it, for example if somebody finished their computer vision PhD before Deep Learning and don't want to admit their knowledge is now next to useless for most industry cases...

That post on abuse is a good example of what I mean, tbh. It's proposing a tagged reputation system.

That means users choosing and updating tags, service-owners choosing and updating tags and taggers, taggers having to follow[1] purposes of tags and changing purposes of tags, eventually mime-type-like things for better specificity and disambiguation, etc. There is absolutely no way that that is a better non-technical / non-deeply-invested user experience than "the company checks on and deletes violating stuff for me so I don't see it".

I generally like it, reputation systems are a reasonable option for nearly everything in a federated or P2P system, and they're wonderfully flexible. But they're not simple. Any time you choose reputation, you're depending on a manually-selected pool of trusted actors (at the very least for bootstrapping), or putting highly-technical expectations on users. You can reduce the impact (significantly) with good UX, but you can't truly remove it.

[1]: or abuse! abuse of abuse-management systems is a huge problem.
> hence the nightmare in Europe right now.

How would being more reliant on fossil fuels help them now? The problem is they are struggling to import enough. If they had more fossil fuel plants and less wind and solar they'd have to import even more fossil fuels.

> That doesn't even factor in the fossil fuels and emissions that need to be expended to create those renewables (which are greater than the individual renewable will ever offset in its lifetime).

False. There have been dozens of lifecycle analysis studies they find a more than 10x advantage of solar and wind over gas per kwh.

That is just because you worked for long time with backend. Angular looks better for you - because it was developed to be easy adoptable by backend devs. But React is great, it just use different paradigm than is used for backend development. PS.I have also stared from those web early times.

Also re: the comparisons to AWS or Google Cloud - it's still totally different. This is more like your car being unable to start because it can't connect to the cloud.

The GP said that you should submit the best article on any given topic, not just the original study. In fact, they specifically called out the press release by the original authors (which can be viewed on Mt Sinai's blog: https://www.mountsinai.org/about/newsroom/2022/fesearchers-f...) as being "much better" then the original article. I'm not a researcher, but as a member of the public I also agree that the press release seems to do a good job at explaining things for the public while also not dumbing things down or exaggerating the findings too much. Nobody is saying you should just post the original study devoid of any context

Big Five is based on factor analysis, it's hard to call it pseudoscience.

Both options are available. I don't see the issue here.
Something can be a problem without being an emergency. For example, the U.S. and other countries have large national debts and ongoing deficits that are unsustainable. Since the U.S. can still borrow at low rates, this is not an "emergency". Whether the problems caused by climate change outweigh the costs of rapidly transitioning from hydrocarbons can be debated.
If no commercial bank is impacted by a CBDC

Commercial banks will be impacted --- in a good way. Interbank transactions will take place instantly 24/7/365 at zero cost.

Consumers will be impacted too --- in a good way. They'll be able to transfer money from their bank account to merchants, friends and family instantly 24/7/365 at zero cost --- no delays, no fees, no processors, no paper forms, no middlemen --- something that never existed before --- at least not in the USA.

Basically, a CBDC will make it possible to add digital wallet functionality to all bank accounts.

Like it or not, a CBDC is coming. The financial case for it is overwhelming.
