There may be overall support, but all of those stupid rednecks belong to the same political party. They make up a supermajority of that party, so even the ones who accept climate change won't vote for any action.

And since any action requires a supermajority, even when the redneck party does not control the government, action is impossible. Solutions to climate change are not trivial and there is reasonable disagreement even among those who aren't convinced it's all a Satanic hoax.

So there's plenty of blame to go around, but I'm going to start with 80 million delusional paranoiacs.
Garbage bags won't go away, even though they're a relatively modern invention and not actually necessary if you work at it a bit.

(Mainly, if you separate compostibles from your normal trash, you can just dump trash straight from an unlined can into the main can, though modern garbage trucks might cause a bit of a issue with the dump).
Why blocking outright might be not the right solution, it would be much easier if there was some standard for cookie banners, where once user chooses default parameters for all websites (all, none, or something in between), and later can adjust them per website basis if need be. There is already some consensus for mandatory, (extra) functionality, analytics and marketing categories, although many websites just dump everything in "mandatory".
Although, lately I'm seeing more and more "reject all" buttons right next to "accept all" on websites. Might be a first good step.
I think you are probably right about that. But I am making assumptions about GPs financial situation.

It is really an individual choice whether you want that financial cushion in the future, or you'd rather enjoy your life now.

I think there's a good chance, especially if you're in a lower financial bracket, that whatever you'd put in to a 401(k) might end up having no real benefit for you (due to inflation, financial collapse, or just that the value returned is too small or too late to make a difference in meaningful life outcomes for you).

It doesn't necessarily mean GP is imagining a sudden crashing collapse or nuclear war in 2030 or something.
Well, not "nothing", just not money directly. They still have to pay the loss in productivity during ramp up times. It's less of a big deal, but it's not nothing.
This is the comment I was looking for. I mean you don’t want your tv connected to Internet, then don’t. Just connect an external device like fire stick and let it handle your subscriptions.
I've seen this work well, especially with some flexibility. Had a very dramatic underperformer on a team that sat near me. His lead went down every paperwork rabbit hole to get him fired, and the improvement plan was the last step. He simply couldn't knock out a simple backlog item without a lot of help. I'm not sure how he graduated with a degree. But the improvement plan had him doing some ops work as well as development, and low and behold he was a natural born ops wizard... It all made sense to him. Had never heard of k8s or helm and was spitting out helm charts, docker files, conan files etc. in less than a month, burning down the whole teams ops backlog.
You are right, sorry if bothering you. I am expecting opinions from more people
I use a 42.5" LG 43UD79 4k monitor as a computer screen. It's fine for work/text and non-AAA gaming. For photorealism/movies the blacks or vividness of colours is not as dramatic as TVs so I don't use it much for that.

Why is a non-4k one preferred? I notice it's discontinued now and there are newer LG 43" monitors (with maybe better blacks/saturation).
They still have no API to allow me (as a seller) to check the status of a given subscription. Unbelievable.
> HN hates Amazon, HN also hates censorship, the question is which do we as a community hate more?

The most surprising thing about this is that the sensational journalists are getting a free pass. The journalists have now advertised this chemical to the world (including minors who read the news) far, far more than the little box on Amazon that shows related products.

How many people knew that this chemical combined with another medication was used for suicide? Probably not many, until journalists decided that this anti-Amazon story was the next big thing. Now it seems like everyone who follows tech news or sees this scrolling through their social media feed has been informed about this combination of chemicals and how it is used for suicide. Amazon isn't the only place to buy this chemical, and I doubt the recommendation algorithm was the impetus for people searching for the chemical in the first place.

The way this story is blowing up seems utterly dangerous in itself, yet most journalists aren't even bothering to try to hide the names of the chemicals. Amazon's recommendation algorithm didn't have any intent in this process, but all of these journalists broadcasting this information far and wide to boost their personal click rate certainly could have thought a little bit harder about what they were doing.
When you go through TSA, nobody thinks “oh, that person must be a terrorist because the TSA is screening them”. Because the TSA screens everyone.

When someone is on a PIP, the expectation is “that person is about to get fired”

This is the stigma we’re talking about.
FWIW, Windows is not a true RTOS, but it does get pretty darn close.

The true hallmarks of an RTOS kernel is hard-realtime scheduling usually with round-robin priorities, and support for priority inversion, which is when a low priority process blocks a high priority one, it inherits the high priority temporarily to meet the deadline.

Windows is threads have a priority, with the highest priority thread occupying the CPU - however there's a series of 'hacks' that allow it to emulate real time behavior.

Threads can get a priority boost in some cases, such as the aforementioned priority inversion case, when the user interacts with the program associated with the thread, when the thread hasn't run for a long time etc.

Additionally there's a set of 'real-time' priorities that can preempt all non-realtime priorities and you need admin or kernel access to set this prio level, as these threads will lock up your system because they can't be preempted.

While I wouldn't trust Windows to control an ICBM, but it's good enough at giving resources to user processes so the your UI feels responsive.
Why not ban the booklet? Then this whole discussion is moot.
Yes it's terrible but then again alot of package managers and dependencies are, however i think the sheer volume in javascript, and the accessibility for anyone to post to npm has it's own set of problems, one thing i noticed is that interfaces constantly change in NPM packages compared to others i work with, its very hard to not ending up locking to a specific version because of API updates.
If this is due to JS community or the ease of access to create packages, i dont know but it has something to do with it.
Back then 18 floppies added gravitas. Only big important things would take up this many disks.
You are plainly ignoring the seriousness of the decision and treating it like any other bodily autonomy discussion. Multiple people have told you about how people with suicidal ideation operate and how serious this topic is. Multiple times.

You choosing to ignore it all is, plain and simple, obtuse. Period. If you don't want to be called obtuse, don't be obtuse.
Keeping wake on LAN on will likely use less power than this ESP32 solution.
>This is bad, humans, and human crops and animals rely on boring predictable weather that they evolved for.

As an example: a comment on reddit mentioned a documentary highlighting animals becoming easier prey as their naturally occuring winter/summer coats were no longer helping them hide from their predators in their natural environment. Quite the opposite in fact, if you happen to have a white winter coat when there's no snow.
Yes, to be fair to Stripe I think much of this is domain complexity that there are no easy answers for.
> “but it snowed massively at N event, thus climate change is expected variance and false”

A lot of confusion in those comment could be cleared up by agreeing on this one simple fact:

CLIMATE CHANGE IS HAPPENING. We already know it, and it doesn't need to be proven again, because IT'S ALREADY PROVEN, beyond any reasonable doubt.

(Sorry for yelling.)

In other words, it's not like asking "Can we say the dice is loaded because we got three consecutive sixes?" It's more like asking, "OK, we know the dice is loaded, we understand the basic mechanism behind it, we even know who did it, and now we just got three consecutive sixes from this known loaded dice. What does it mean?"
I would think this information comes close to encouragement to suicide which is against the law in a lot of jurisdictions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_legislation
Is a variation in weather over the course of 40 years the same thing as a permanent shift, or even an indication of a trend, in terms of climate?

I’m sure you’re comfortable with whatever authoritarian bureaucratic nonsense would help calm your social media-induced panic attack if the hour, but that’s not a standard of evidence under which I’m willing to make the world a bit worse.

It sounds like we won’t agree on ethical fundamentals, much less this topic, so I wish you well, and hope you can source enough bubblewrap to feel safe existing in the world.
All things we do requires mental effort. Laying in bed and daydreaming also results in neurons firing. So, I think we're just discussing the amount of effort. My point was that self-help is usually written is such a way to make its reading very pleasant and to actually be a dopamine hit - it makes the reader imagine all the potential changes they can implement in their lives, it pumps them up with positive message etc. It feels good to read it. However, in vast majority of cases, people remember and try to apply the advice for a couple weeks at most, and after that life happens, habits take over and they're back to their default.

Exactly this, Amazon's recommendation engine doesn't have the domain knowledge about chemicals and such, what can be mixed with what. Their recommendation may mislead people.
This is cool! I was able to test in Safari and it really looks awesome, however it doesn't seem to work on Firefox. Any plans on supporting it? :)
Sure but at the same time, building a baseline relationships with people is important. It builds capital that can be used to diffuse misunderstandings and tense situations.

No, they are not. They have no clue what they are not consenting to.

$0 is small.
Same, being DINKs we literally save 85% of our monthly cash flow while maxing out two IRAs, two employer matched 401ks, and two HSAs, and carry no debt.

We don’t even make that much by US coastal standards.

My retired grandparents have total monthly expenses of $3k but make $12k/mo from their pensions plus around a million in retirement accounts. Their entire careers they barely made more than the median household income and had kids.

The advantage of making a lot of money in expensive cities is you get an amazing deal when you pay “world rates” for things. But living in cheap medium size cities gives you an absolutely fucktonne of purchasing power. Our total monthly expenses including rent, utilities, internet, food, insurances, gas is less than $2.5k and we live in a nice well appointed flat.

The biggest driver of weaponization of space is Putin's nuclear saber rattling, space companies have always been in service of defense contracts. You want to see a real budgetary boondoggle? I give you the United Launch Alliance.

Just like the biggest driver of EV car adoption at the policy level is Puting, current gas prices, inflaction, and OPEC trying for more profit mongering.

Frankly I'm mystified as to why Musk posted that weak tweet to ending the war. He's in the perfect situation to be a war profiteer, and he doesn't even provide weapons.

In many cases, depending where you live, withholding tips like that would be illegal.
This completely depends on the company. Where I work, PIPs really are designed to give extra structure to the people on them as to what is expected of them and they're designed to be achievable by the average employee without working extra hours. Of course, they're also private, so you only know someone has been on one if they choose to share that information.
I'm sorry, not sure I understand correctly. What are they supposed to do here exactly?

I understand and agree that if there is something ethically or morally wrong, we as humans should do something to avoid that, absolutely.

I'm just asking to have it clarified for myself what the actual problem is here, and what possible solutions there could be.
> There is no hard guarantee at runtime

You can get very close if you place fine-grained, well tested, type guards at IO boundaries, wrap poorly typed or overly dynamic dependencies, and have good discipline about internal boundaries. It’s a lot of work up front in a greenfield project, but it really pays off.

> The types are not used to produce faster code at runtime

Not directly, but in my experience good up front interface design tends to produce either immediately optimal JS (eg it tends to be monomorphic) or makes optimization much easier (as it makes any refactoring easier).

Edit:

> I like type systems as you can design with types and check things tie together before even running the code. This gives you very fast iteration cycles compared to CMD-R refreshing the browser/code.

I’d be remiss not to emphasize this! And not just skipping the reload cycle, it lets you skip a whole lot of test runs too. Type error in editor? Yep, those tests are gonna fail too.
Paper makes no sense for things that can leak. Which is the vast majority of the use cases for these bags. That’s everything from meat or poultry to a pack of berries. One bad pack or bump on the way home and it’s soaked through to all the rest of your groceries.

How did their children have unrestricted internet access, a credit card, an Amazon account, and the ability to place an order and have it shipped and delivered to their home without any form of parental review?

I’m not going to say it’s the parent’s fault, but they’re a hell of a lot more culpable than Amazon, which isn’t any more culpable than a hardware store selling rope.
Why do you think it's virtue signaling? You never explained why.

You also make the claim that in the last three years the amount of liter has increased , do you have evidence of this?
Insubordination is simply refusing a proper direct instruction; for example, refusing to turn on your webcam. I'd argue that instruction wasn't "proper". But one of the legitimate grounds for dismissal is refusing to do what you're told. After all, if you hire someone, and they won't do what you pay them to do, then natural justice would seem to say that you can stop paying them, and hire a replacement.

From what I've read, this employee was indeed insubordinate; but they were entitled to be insubordinate, because the instruction they were given wasn't proper. It would be wrong to court-martial a soldier, for example, if they refused an order to murder PoWs, even though prima facie that would be insubordination.

OT, even more, my youngest kid (aged 6) just started the first year of [primary] school, so is happily walking to and from school as is culturally acceptable here(!!)

It would be so easy to end up thinking that tracking all kids solves loads of problems, but I firmly believe it really, really doesn't. <expletive> to your child's school! They should be ashamed of themselves.

Lithium batteries at least you should be able to dump at any Home Depot. You can around here.

It'd be amusing if California law was such that they DIDN'T offer that in CA.
There are, but they are vastly outnumbered by the non-rational ones. There are extremely common drugs used to treat depression (SSRIs) that cause suicidal tendencies in people younger than 24, for example. Depression itself causes suicidal ideation, as do many psychosis.

If you actually want to help someone suffering from this, you must check that their desire to die persists for a long enough time, and is not simply a psychotic episode that they would regret later. This is often easily distinguishable, as people who start having thoughts of suicide are often terrified of actually following through just moments later.

It is also extremely well established fact that the vast majority of people whose suicide attempts are thwarted are thankful for it, and that cutting access to the easiest suicide methods drastically reduces the total rate of suicides: most people who commit suicide don't want to die, they are just having an irrational episode.
excellent, wouldn't expect anything less.
When you say you are doing nothing wrong and continue with an action then you are doing it on purpose.
There's no real API (certainly within the USA) for using bank transfers and being told that a payment has completed (even worse, most of the bank transfers are far from instant). So while this can work for a donation model, where the individual payments are not connected with access to services or goood, it really doesn't work where you (the provider of said services or goods) need to know that the payment has completed.
To what end? What do you want to obfuscate by doing this?
Close, maybe. Prosecutable, unlikely given the algorithm doesn't understand what is being recommended (products, not an idea) an would not meet mens rea.
I vaguely remember Ello being mentioned as the place to go that wasn't Google+, and I see that they have now pivoted to being an artist social network. kind of interesting.
15 to 20 extra strength Tylenol can kill most children - and it’s used quite frequently in intentional attempts - literally 100s of times more often than sodium nitrite. Your argument has no merit.
Not sure about the developers, but PHP and Javascript have a problem in common:

PHP has some sort of standard library but it's not intuitive (the function naming is a mess), sometimes outdated, wrong or broken (but the broken behavior has now ossified and will never be removed for backwards-compatibility reasons).

JS has basically no standard library at all.

Both of these issues mean everyone has to use third-party packages to make up for that, of which there are tons, each with their own issues, breaking changes, upgrades, etc.
This is one of the best, keep it up
It's probably part of about detection system which cf is usually trying to prevent for their customers. It'd be a relatively easy to detect metric to add to a score for that kind of thing. A bot using a browser use agent string but the wrong tls settings is probably very common.
Okay, so you're just going to continue doing the same thing without skipping a beat. Hence, you know, the word obtuse.

Good day, then. Talking to you is clearly useless.
I would have said 3-4 years as well, and I would have been certain beyond any doubt that it was more than 2 years. Crazy.
The produce bags are probably less likely to blow away, since you don't "unwrap" whatever was in it until you're in your house.

I've seen many a garbage bag tumbling along the road, but I can't recall seeing a produce bag.
Yes, but similar to high concentration hydrogen peroxide, when the higher concentration product is causing preventable harm and death they make only the more diluted version readily available to the public and keeps the higher concentration stuff just for the folks that truly need it (industry).
There is already a standard called Do Not Track. Businesses ignore it.
> I believe the case is specifically focusing on the promotion of the kits to underage children. As a society we have already embraced censorship for children

Underage children are already not allowed to have Amazon accounts (unless explicitly granted as a sub-account of their parents' account).

How, exactly, would you propose that Amazon determine if the person viewing a page and entering credit card information and a mailing address is a minor?

The only actual solution to this problem is to forbid selling of this specific product on Amazon, which I have no doubt is in process. Many chemicals and OTC medications have already disappeared from Amazon due to fears of abuse by minors.

> t seems reasonable that we should expect (and sadly now demand) that they not promote combinations of products to children that are designed to lead to their death.

There was no such intent in the recommendation algorithm. Did you know this combination of products could be used for suicide before it was blasted all over the internet by these news articles? I didn't, and I doubt anyone at Amazon was aware of it either (until now).

Are you also holding the journalists to the same standard? These articles about "suicide kits" have been filling my social media feeds and news outlets for the past day. The number of minors being exposed to this information by news outlets has to be many orders of magnitude higher than the number of minors who ever saw this combination of "recommended items" on Amazon. Keep in mind that Amazon wasn't just showing this to random shoppers, you had to search for specific ingredients to begin with. Journalists, on the other hand, have been advertising this combination far and wide to everyone who just wants to read news.
