Bikes work in some cities, and I'm a big fan of bikes in general. Especially in the US, it would benefit a lot of people to get a bit of daily exercise.

However, I can't imagine riding a bike to work on where I live. First, it's too dangerous. The modern age of cell phones is very different that the days when I grew up when parents allowed kids to ride their bikes in the street to school every day. Distracted drivers now seem to mow down bicyclists regularly.

Furthermore, the cities I've lived in have weather too extreme to ride in:

Buffalo -- on average it snows during 6 months of the year, around 90+ inches/year (242cm/year).

Boston -- very cold four months of the year. I recall 30 consecutive days with a high below freezing. It also has high winter wind speeds (some days as high as 14mph (23km/hr) in December) and rainfall.

Dallas -- averages 97 days per year with a high over 90 degrees (32 degrees Celsius)

Houston -- averages 99 days per year with a high over 90 degrees (32 degrees Celsius) and very humid. Its also 637.4 square miles (1,651 km^2) in size making it very likely that one will have a long sweaty commute.

Austin -- averages 108 days per year with a high over 90 degrees (32 degrees Celsius)

Detroit -- one block from home I was beaten off of my bike by an organized gang of bicycle thieves that took my bike and were never caught. The weather isn't concussive to bike riding either.

There are cities in the US that have better weather. I enjoyed walking to school the year I lived in Marin County in California.
Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. Can definitely see the utility in that.
It's not Twitter.

The problem is vindictive people in positions of authority, with no constraints, and heavy ideology aka Universities.

Most American corporations are not ideological, the public sector is a highly constrained place.

Universities allow profs to have their petty adult beefs with each other, veiled in intellectual language or moralisms etc..
> Kids need to learn to learn but they also need to be taught.

I have no children (so grain of salt), but what I think kids need is more what you'd call "guidance".

Not necessarily teaching them, but more showing them how to learn, and how to discover interests and pursue them, which may lead them down a life path.

I had it easy. My dad just had to leave some computers lying around. None of my other siblings went into tech. 2/3 of my siblings did a bunch of different things before settling into their current careers.
Tone? No, my concerns are purely with the rubber-stamped form of the argument. It's as ineffective in this incarnation as it is in its other forms.
I have found it much more difficult to tune fan curves for quiet operation on Ryzen than on Intel chips. There are frequent short surges in fan speed, presumably caused by frequent short surges in core temperature. This happens at normal load just above idle, e.g just web browsing and YouTube.

This has happened with a few different brands of motherboards, in multiple chassis with different brands of fans, so I think it's a characteristic of the Ryzen platform rather than a specific motherboard brand or BIOS.

It's really odd and annoying, and I've resorted to fan curves that keep the fan on low RPM until just before the CPU hits 90C -- basically flat with a big hockey stick inflection at the end.

A simple scooter gets 80 MPG - 90 MPG, can use all existing transportation infrastructure, and anybody can ride (if you can ride a bike then you can ride a scooter), and has low acquisition costs. Get states on board with allowing those having a drivers license to be able to legally ride a scooter, where presently many states require getting a motorcycle endorsement which is a definite obstacle. I'm really surprised the U.S. isn't pursuing this harder seeing as how we've built so much infrastructure for motorized vehicles. I'm an engineer - we don't need nirvana, we need improvement.

> this card can be used on any computer.

With the small caveat that you need enough space around the port; on other computers, it might block other nearby ports, or even not fit if there's any protuberance. Passive USB-C plug to USB-C socket cables (that is, USB-C "extension cords") are AFAIK forbidden by the standard (and ignoring the standard and making one anyway would, as far as I understand, allow for dangerous combinations like putting 5A into a 3A cable), so they cannot be used to workaround this limitation.
I did that in Go although it was "only" caching the markdown rendering - the page templates were written in Go (via some lib that gave tools to make that mangeable) and compiled with the app so the whole template building was blazingly fast.
Our intent with the compiler in Buf is to match protoc as perfectly as we can. We want to instill maximum confidence in our users that Buf is a trustworthy tool and a suitable replacement for protoc. And to do that, we need the behavior to match.

But we do hope that eventually the official definition of the language will be a proper specification, not a particular implementation. (And maybe this document could be the start of that shift.)

So while there are multiple implementations (Buf, Square/Wire, probably others), the protoc implementation is canon.
Not so—significant dieting, zero soda or desserts, etc. But that's not as comparatively interesting for the argument as "can go on 10 mile hikes any weekend, yet made no progress". My point is directly intended to respond not just with anecdata, but that we have more work to do in research, diagnosis, and treatment of it.

I don’t mean this to be rude, but it sounds like you jumped to a quick conclusion based on preexisting simple expectations about obesity?
> There's a difference between disagreeing about something in theory, and acting maliciously in order to exclude someone from your group

The main difference is that preventing malicious actions is generally feasible, via tweaking institutional rules (such as by outright forbidding tests of religious/ideological conformity like the ones OP discusses). That's still not enforcing anything in any substantial sense; it's just a direct tweak to the "rules of the game", meant to drive improved outcomes.

I don't oppose AI-generated images in the slightest. I love them and I genuinely think they will be a very important part of our future. Effectively, it will take more effort to make a living as an artist, especially a mediocre one, because AI is now a decent mediocre artist. It's a stupendous artist for some prompts, too.

However, I can understand that if I can just spit out image after image, there must be a way to "limit" my submission of these images. In that sense, I "get" banning AI-generated images, as a way to stop spam.
My guess is that it's less about the environmental harm, and more about spiting preachy evangelists.
> * I live where it gets over 100f in the summer routinely. Even a 3 mile bike ride at that point means you're drenched in sweat*

You're certainly not drenched in sweat on an ebike, and you're probably not either if the terrain is flat and you're not in a big hurry.
I would say that the more important critique I have is of the reasoning style.
Sorry for any confusion, I was responding to this:

> if you believe humanity can successfully navigate a demographic inversion the likes of which it has never seen before, while managing the changing climate.

I agree with the comment above mine, I do not believe we can manage this. With less population, specialization, and attention available among the polluting countries, I see those countries (such as Italy) reverting to things that are easier to manage.

Likely more stuff we can just grab out of the ground and burn.

Zoltan Pozsar and Perry Mehrling Debate Bretton Woods 3.0
Credit Suisse strategist Zoltan Pozsar has found a new level of fame over the last year, arguing that we're witnessing the birth of a new currency regime that he calls "Bretton Woods 3.0". In this new era, the centrality of the dollar will fade, in favor of commodities or commodity-backed currencies. But not everyone is convinced. And in fact one skeptic is Pozsar's own close collaborator Perry Mehrling, who is now a professor at Boston University. In a special live episode of the podcast, recorded in front of an audience, we were joined by Pozsar and Mehrling, who debated Pozsar's thesis and the future of the dollar more broadly.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There are two pieces typically with SAAS apps (that may or may not be applicable to static pages): authorisation and authentication.

In most cases, I see B2B offerings supporting SAML + SCIM which helps cover the authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ) pieces of the puzzle. Or you use oAuth.

Most SAAS products also need to map users to what they can do within the app so they need the concept of roles, permissions, etc. It can get quite complex, quite quickly. Something you typically don't need with single user accounts.
So the actual challenge is to convince those car drivers that they really should be pushing for more bike lanes, since it really is in their best interest. O:-)

You don't need to be a vegetarian or vegan. Just eating less meat helps significantly with the things you mentioned. For example if everyone ate say 50% less meat we'd make a noticeable impact on climate change.

I am a vegan myself, but of course everyone can find the right tradeoff for themselves. I do think it's clear though that reducing meat consumption by some amount is just better overall for the planet, to avoid animal suffering, and for our health.

Does meat in this context also includes fish and chicken? Or is it meat only from cows, buffalo, pig etc?

Yeah, no doubt it's attractive for money laundering, but the thing is that it's impossible to stop at this point. There are entire digital currencies built on top of zero-knowledge transactions at this point and they aren't hard to get your hands on those coins in my experience.

With that in mind, if in fact it's impossible to stop, it seems rather arbitrary to pick and choose which products get targeted and serves no real purpose to even slow down the undesired behavior.
Is that per type of digestive cancer? They were testing 5 different ones.

The bar for publishing in a blog is much lower than an academic paper.

I don't know much about this particular professor, but part of converging towards the truth is to start somewhere which might be incorrect, then debate the flaws of that and come up with a better reasoning. Avoiding discussing or publishing thoughts that are not fully baked would be detrimental to that process, I believe.

In the introduction to the study they include this statement, which I think agrees with your comment:

"This study systematically searched two databases and included six cohort studies included with limited types of digestive system cancers. Therefore, the evidence is not sufficiently strong to evaluate the relationship between digestive system cancers and plant-based diets. Comprehensive evaluations are scarce, especially for various digestive system cancers and multiple dietary patterns."
Twitter is not an 'agent' of the US Government, that's completely ridiculous, as is the lawsuit alleging that somehow the government (really political entity) somehow 'forced' Twitter to do something political. There's nothing there.
I believe both DAC and fiber draw about the same power, but DAC obviously has very limited cable lengths. I’m not entirely sure why regular ethernet draws more power, I just know this is a fairly consistent thing wherever I look.

Handling the SFP module itself will more directly expose you to the heat than an integrated ethernet port, so maybe that’s the difference.

Diffusion does not mean equality.

However, I would be surprised if more than a mere few million humans alive today are sufficiently harmless to the ecosystem that they can be counted as blameless. While I would of course accept that minors can’t be counted as at fault due to lack of power or awareness, I would say that in practice this also applies to virtually everyone, given the safe emissions level is 0.1% of actual emissions and that this means that even most eco-friendly food production isn’t friendly enough yet, let alone all the other things.

Still, I recon we can get there without loss of quality of life. I may be pessimistic about politics, but I’m optimistic about technology.
No part of my argument depends on invalidating your most intuitive definition of the term "diversity".

> fill the rest of the laptop with the usual set of ports in a motherboard that I can easily repair.

Where exactly does "easily repair" mean? It all depends on who the end user is. Consider three very different users:

1. Expert: Replacing connectors on motherboards is not particularly hard for someone with experiencing soldering surface mount components.

2. Intermediate: Many laptops have modular barrel connector subcomponents that are easy to replace for anyone who is comfortable opening laptops.

3. Non-technical: Many consumers are uncomfortable opening laptops at all. Many have thrown away laptops with modular batteries.

Because there are lots of different users on different levels of technical ability, creating a "repairable" laptop can mean a lot of different things depending on where you draw the line.
That cheary voice claiming the retro thrust success, turned me really off. There was no deceleration at all. All that dust was impact dust. It would have been much better to see that in silence, rather than hearing a forced attempt to feign success...
Dear Mr. President: Seriously, please stop with these science “moonshots”
Honestly, it depends on the kind of component. It's easier to get CPU that support android than more lambda one for example, and that's without speaking about sub component. This lead to strange situations to say the least (partial bom delivery for example, so no power, no ethernet, 2G instead of 3G/4G modem...).
USA had been like this: import duties, use taxes, no income tax.

Now with USA fiat money there is no financial need to have personal income tax.
It also depends on context. You can't bring a kitchen knife on an airplane. You will get funny looks from most if you walk around outside with one, even if that isn't specifically banned, but laws evolve out of social convention, so if enough people did it, you could plausibly see it legislated. I'd bet that if you committed some other offense like public intoxication or indecent exposure, and then resisted arrest, you'd have a couple knock on charges regarding said knife.

So here's the context for TD AFAICT: crypto is a competitor to fiat currency and all the hegemony that comes with it. It is a power play, and power doesn't come for free, and often is ultimately paid for with blood. Governments aren't just going to let a new wild west open up on that without any say-so. I think crypto enthusiasts either don't understand the implications of the tech or reject them on philosophical grounds, which I sympathize with but understand that doesn't change the reality as far as every stakeholder is involved.
No you're missing the point. The hub itself is built into the chassis so even if it is thunderbolt, anything non-trivial I would want to connect over that bus doesn't have enough physical space in the computer unless it fits inside that tiny connector design:

https://d3t0tbmlie281e.cloudfront.net/igi/framework/t5KLkw4x...

I'd rather either have a bank of ports that can be removed as one module and replaced with a single large component or just drop the concept and put more battery in there. These tiny individual modules waste space and don't accomplish much.
I think the "backlash" is more so for the presumptive and dismmissive America-centric view of the world
It probably come out wrong.

> removing traffic lights would drive cars' average speed up

is that knowing that cars are slow because there are a lot of traffic lights to stop at, it's not very helpful.

The only thing that we can logically conclude with that information is that traffic lights take down average speed.

On the other hand, being bikes' top speeds much lower than cars and being subject at the same traffic lights, the only thing that we can conclude is that they don't stop at traffic lights as much or they pass cars stuck in traffic, even if it's probably forbidden.

Which is okay, everybody does that, but, again, not very helpful.

It only says that bikes don't respect every traffic laws in the book.

Not a big deal, but we can't use that information to optimize traffic.
I fail to see how it's "undetectable" or "can't be stopped".

Yes, but.

The problem with OS file caches has ever been that people look at a box, see that the programs aren't consuming all of the available memory, and argue that they should be able to cram more shit on the box because it's 'underutilized'.

There are very reasonable and sane system architectures that let the OS handle caching, but you need a way to defend against these sorts of situations.

The performance falloff for this failure mode is exponential, so people try it a few times, and not getting any negative feedback, they add it to their toolbox only to get lectured months later once the bad behavior has not only become standard for them but also spread to other people.

It almost begs for a different system call that can earmark the memory usage by the app in a way that's easier for people to see.
I found it surprising how little lithium goes into an electric car, vs. e.g. copper, nickel, and graphite, and how much zinc goes into a wind turbine. The zinc is for corrosion control.

I don’t mind eating less meat in order to try and be healthier.

It really comes down to finding tasty meals to have instead. I’ll get a nice risotto instead of a steak more often these days, and I now make it myself.

Probably impossible for me to completely give up meat but I try to make it a less frequent option.
I'd suggest that if a reader is less successful at grasping the crux of an essay due solely to the writing style, that merely points out a failing of the reader. Digesting essays of varying styles is an important skill that one needs as an academic. That skill needs to be fostered.
