There are several sources that measure with this in mind, focusing on production and non-supervisory workers, or by breaking it down by sector. Here's one such: https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/

I haven't yet seen a source, whether it's a total average measure or bucketed, that doesn't at least show that productivity has always continued increasing year-over-year - not always at pace with GDP growth, but "productivity at an all-time high" still holds true. I think this tracks intuitively too, given that we continue to add infrastructure and technology to support production and services.

The key point is that lowest earner's share of income has consistently decreased at the same time. That discrepancy alone, and the fact that the discrepancy has been allowed to widen for many decades now, is what gets us to the situation we're in today.

It's accurate but not complete. The long term (600k year) climatic history of this planet is sobering, and if only climate change was just our fault. Believe me, there is nothing humanity has so far achieved that comes close to matching what nature does to this planet on a pretty regular schedule. We don't know nearly enough about this by the way, and we especially don't know enough about conditions about the end of the last inter-glacial. For the last 20 odd years we can't even discuss it rationally, because to bring up the non-anthromorphic aspects just gets some innocent scientist labelled a denier.

That volcano that went off in the pacific this January appears to have increased the amount of water vapour in the entire atmosphere by 10%. Sit back and contemplate that for a moment, because it is pretty awesome, and also the satellite pictures were quite something, and then take another look at what's happened in Pakistan and Italy. All our fault? We can wish.

There is so much more to this than shifting away from fossil fuels - that's the easy one, get rid of your car, and get a bicycle.

> C++ runs a real risk of surviving only in the embedded/realtime space in the next 10 years.

Embedded/realtime? No way. The people I know in embedded won't touch C++ with your 10 foot pole.

Most of my embedded code is wrangling various "stacks" into cooperation with one another, and C++ helps me not one whit with that. At the other side, when I'm just poking sensors, C is more than enough.

And, as much I would really like embedded communication stacks to be in Rust, all that would happen would be the vendors slapping "unsafe" on everything so they would basically be writing C anyway.

I had Cartoon Network (I think?) on the television one day when I was creating a character in EQ. The Smurfs was on. Gargamel's nephew (not his nephew, his apprentice, had to look it up after making this comment) was in the episode and his name was "Scruple" and I've used it ever since. I guess that must've been back in 2000 or early 2001.
That doesn't sound like a "goody bag". Also wouldn't having nothing be the same?
I think it is a fine number. In my experience people need a ton of reminders. More than you think. I would contact people multiple times and always someone would forget. If you are not top of their memory stack, they don't remember.

I've been on a Discworld kick lately, and have been reminded thoroughly of his genius/greatness. On top of the humor and genuinely interesting fantasy plotlines, there's a real humanity and hear to Sir Terry's writing.

After reading a few I picked up The Amazing Maurice as our bedtime reading book. It's maybe for slightly older kids than mine, but I've just been enjoying it immensely, especially the little snippets of philosophical conversation between the rats.
A fairly simple argument for this position is: This speech (the content posted to social media) is either speech by the poster or speech by the social media company; you can't have it both ways. If the social media company isn't responsible for illegal content, then ipso facto it must be the user's speech. But then the company doesn't have first amendment rights attached to that speech itself, such as the right against compelled speech that would be implicated by this law. (Note that this law doesn't by any plausible interpretation limit anyone's speech acts.)

I think everyone intuitively understands you can't assert 4A rights on contraband held by the police while also denying owning that contraband to dodge criminal responsibility. This thing with social media is the same thing but with 1A instead of 4A.

I would consider myself a first amendment absolutist; and yet I don't have a 1A problem with the concept of this law [0] insofar as social media companies choose the position that user speech isn't their speech. The problem is that they won't come out and state that position, they intentionally flipflop on whose speech their websites host exactly depending on what is most convenient. So of course it looks like this is a massively overreaching law when the position flops to "company speech". And if a company came out and said okay we accept responsibility for what's posted on our platform, then I'd be the first in line to say that the government can't force them to publish certain content.

Contrast traditional publishers who definitely have first amendment rights to publish or not to publish things. Well, yes, they do, but they also have legal responsibility for what they publish. The rights follow the responsibility.

I’m surprised to hear your opinion on this. I have around 12 years of python experience and I find metaprogramming to be, by far, the most important part of Python.

The Middle of the World sea is mostly land locked. Close to land the winds run off shore (away from the shore) in the morning and then back to on shore (point towards the shore) in the afternoon. This is because in the morning the land is relatively cool and in the afternoon it is relatively warm. The thermal gradient above the land and sea then determines the wind direction. This pattern is mostly seen in the summer and less so in the other three seasons, when it gets a bit more random.

Now it all gets a bit complicated depending on which bit of sea is being affected by which bit of land. On top of that the Med has weather systems just like everywhere else and they can get a bit feisty. Early in the (Christian) New Year you get the big old winds like the Ghibli and co dumping sand into your Brandy Sour.

I lived in Cyprus for two years back in the 1980s and spent quite a lot of that time in and on the water.
The precautionary principle is attractive, but it ignores the possibility that lost opportunity costs can exceed those of the risk being avoided. Turning on the lhc was considered by some to have a miniscule risk of turning earth into a tiny black hole that would last a moment before evaporating. My particle physics friends laughed and agreed there was a non zero risk. The notion that an action with a tiny yet finite risk of an event with infinite cost should itself have infinite cost would preclude most everyday activities. Not that climate change or emissions fit that category I think the risks aren't that small, just saying be careful with the precautionary principle.

Some amount of climate change would probably be beneficial to some nations. Russia would vome to mind with more arable land potentially becoming available, but some models show it being borderline too dry to grow on. Those same models show a net benefit to agriculture in Midwestern US. I wonder if xkcd or 538 could whip us up a map of climate change winner/losers and areas that support co2 policies?
> we should all actively be fighting against Conway's law

I think the inverse of that, the org mirroring the code, happens as well. And maybe Conway really meant that, too.

I would argue that we should be organizing code in a way that we'd like our teams to be organized. We should use this as a tool for devs to self-organize. Eventually, management will see the cost savings in organizing the people similarly.

https://empoweringpumps.com/5-ways-to-make-mining-more-susta...

are both nice entry points for basic research. Mining tech has changed quite a bit since the early days- waste management is probably the biggest factor in whether a mine is relatively neutral or harmful to the environment.

The other major factor between countries is the extent to which regulations are in place to ensure that old mines are also managed- ensuring water runoff doesn't flow into and through them (picking up excess metal waste), etc.

A final note is many countries do not have the regulatory strength to catch all illegal mining operations, which may have no waste management or treatment in place at all.

Even with all of the regulations in place, it would still be economically feasible to mine here- otherwise, the mining companies wouldn't be spending decades trying to open these mines up in the first place.
Rare dark/calm periods can be countered by storage technologies other than batteries. These technologies typically have lower efficiency than batteries, but that doesn't matter when they're only rarely called on. For these technologies, low per-energy-stored capital cost is much more important than high efficiency. As an example: hydrogen can be stored in solution-mined salt caverns for as little as $1/kWh of storage capacity.
> 1. The sound mix has a huge dynamic range now, and lots of action scenes are mixed in with quiet conversation. Set the volume down, and you miss the dialogue. Set the volume up, and you wake up the neighbors.

I've also noticed a prevalence of mixing background noise/music into dialogue scenes which often overpowers the main dialogue, or overlaps in audio range enough to make it hard to hear. Add in sub-par audio equipment, or equipment which is compelled to emphasize one end of the audio over the other - and you have a recipe for difficult to understand dialogue.

Turning on the closed captions is an easier solution than fussing with the audio in many cases.

The cost to "collect" space junk is astronomical. The issue is relative velocities of their orbits combined with the fact that even LEO has a lot of separation between objects.

It's very similar to the issue of extracting CO2 from the air - once it's in the air, you first have to add the energy of entropy to un-diffuse it and then you need collect it. That entropic energy is ENORMOUS. And you can easily generate more CO2 to create the energy to overcome it than you are extracting because most energy generation is still fossil-fuel sourced.

There's a very similar entropy problem with space junk. The energy requires is far higher.

They're free to ban bots. That would clearly be a viewpoint-neutral restriction on content/behavior. "Using a bot" isn't a viewpoint, and banning bots is not a viewpoint-based restriction on user expression.

This is a very well-explored area of law, and nobody is confused about the definitions of the terms used here. Even the government has reasonable authority to restrict speech based on time, place, or manner (e.g. by disallowing amplified sound systems).

Oh, okay. Let's ignore social determinants of health then and just say yes, Canada's system is prima facie superior. Case closed! Let's all adopt Canada's system

Outcomes aren't uniformly better, by the way. Canada routinely ranks near the bottom of the OECD and like one notch above America, but in America you can get the best healthcare in the world (Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, etc.)

Canada has no equivalent - the small Cleveland Clinic presence in Canada hasn't bothered trying to open a hospital because it would basically be impossible, unlike in the UK where private hospitals still exist.

The healthcare professionals in Canada are very well-trained, but there are too few of them and they're smothered in useless bureaucracy.
I pick thicker phone.

My 'thin' phone came with a case anyway.

I'm not even particularly convinced of the tradeoff. My old windows phone the back just pried off so no extra thickness there. You have potential savings from being able to move the sim and SD cards.

Further if it was that 'hyper' optimised, why could I get a phone in the 00s where the battery lasted a week, and today I'm lucky to get a day. There are obviously other considerations than battery life, and I would contend battery life is far down the list.
