It looks like if methane emissions were completely capped, we would still have above normal temperatures for decades before 20th century temperature norms were restored.

Who would be best to explain that in laymen terms?

Organics may offset some co2, so rainforest regrowth in brazil and other largescale projects may manage the aftereffects better.
Locomotives than run on diesel have diesel-electric transmissions - basically the diesel engine acts as a generator, with electricity that turns electric motors.

When the UK electrified a lot of its railways in the 1970s, some diesel locomotives were converted so they could run on diesel or electric. If they really wanted, US railroad companies could electrify their tracks in stages, and continue to use their existing rolling stock.

Not all of them. A data processing/computation job running for tens or hundreds of hours is usually not a service. What is "long-running" anyway? Again, people used nohup for running their jobs for decades without being logged in. That is the standard usage of nohup, systemd broke it.

C'mon; we all know the 50 Shades of Grey was Twilight fan fiction, but it is also original work... Likewise all of fantasy, which is footnotes on Tolkien. You're suggesting a much higher bar than we apply for humans, which leads to bad places... Do we raise copyright to the point that no one can produce new work, or accept a world where generative art lowers the bar for making art?

To explore what wealth is I recommend The Origin Of Wealth by Eric D. Beinhocker.

In essence, wealth is a process that creates low entropy.

He posits three conditions that need to be met:

All value creating economic transformations and transactions

1) Irreversibility - are thermodynamically irreversible

2) Entropy - reduce entropy locally while increasing it globally

3) Fitness - need to be fit for human purposes.

On my recent trip, I saw mountains being broken and shipped off to distant places for construction. If it goes on, within a few decades they will cease to exist. The last one tells us that we can define what wealth means - to some the mountains and the ecosystem they harbour are wealth, to some the buildings and the resulting economic activity is wealth.
> the UN had an independent report done

"the UN" had done a lot of reports related to the Angloamerican propaganda in the past as well, and the results of each precisely reflected the agenda of whichever country was leading that particular commission at that given moment. This includes all the 'genocides' attributed to the enemies of the US.

Even worse, there were points in which entire institutions of the UN were subverted based on the clout of the country that ran enough commissions - so much that the UK literally awarded the presidency of the human rights commission to Saudi Arabia at that point, thanks to the vote power it had from 'countries' like Cayman Islands, Marshall Islands etc.

So, sorry, but I shall pass that as a source as well.

From the Pricing JSON page, on the 'Why Each Plan Must Have At Least One Feature' question, it says:

> Without this restriction, it would be significantly more expensive to fetch your pricing model from Stripe's data.

I didn't quite get that. I understood that application code should reference features (and not plans directly) so it becomes easier to change plan structure (via https://priceops.org/4-entitlement), but that's not the reasoning laid out here, is it?
Thanks, appreciate links, clearly spent time researching topic, curious what you found of use, and will check out all the links.

That said, to me feels like you’re making claims, then when confronted about them not actually addressing them.

Yes, there are situations systems like this work, for example, when there’s finite volume of inventory and market is willing to pay more to gain access to that inventory as the availability of that inventory shrinks; hotels, taxis, tickets, AD inventory, etc.

On flip side, long list of businesses that adding your code would provide provide no significant value, but instead just add technically debt.

In my experience, even in situations where yield management makes sense, it’s rarely a defining path to product market fit, but an opportunity to optimization revenue.

my brother, the www as a whole is federated and people eat that shit up. visit foo.net and it loads fonts from google.com, embeds from twitter.com or reddit.com, images from some-other.site, and forwards a user to another-place.org when they perform an action, and all these sites will happily back-link to you.

maybe hopping from one site to another really is more annoying than hopping between pages on the same site, and you install a monolithic app to avoid having to interact with more than one site. bad news for you my friend, your packets are still being sent through internet exchanges following some route based on which providers choose to federate (peer) with each other!

i don't think people are necessarily annoyed by federation: they're annoyed by obstructive UX. make it so they don't notice, or that it feels natural, and they won't be annoyed.
Not a single mention of Greg Rutkowski in this thread?
Not OP. But definitely yes. I feel that person is maybe important and if they are talking about lets say tech/vidya I lookup their names on google to find out more about them.

No offense, but to me I interpret your perspective as: "People with stuff to get rid of tell me its good to dump it in the ocean. They said it's a good thing, so I take their word for it without critically analyzing its actual environmental impact-- plastics, metals, chemicals used in subway cars or vehicles... hey, they said it's ok, so it must be ok!"

I ain't buying it :D But then again I am an environmentalist & conservationist-- I am concerned about the apparently infinitely growing ubiquity of synthetic chemicals, due to aforementioned actions mentioned and the apparently common lack of objection (if people are even aware it is happening).
Why do you elevate "significance"? In terms of the number of developers who care, "significant sites" are a minor niche. The web obeys a power law; there are only 1000 "significant" websites in the world, and far more "insignificant" ones.

Most of the world's web developers are creating blogs, business-card-ware (e.g. restaurant websites that let you see the menu as a PDF but don't let you order from it), and HTML-based CRUD UIs for backoffice software (i.e. the thing you get from bog-standard no-other-libraries-needed Django or Rails.) You don't need the aria- tag attributes when building any of those. To achieve accessibility with these, you just need a ca. 2001 CSS Zen Garden-esque understanding of semantic HTML.
I agree with you. When I post, I quite often correct the title that HN culls, because otherwise the sense of the title becomes quite different.

creating content that goes viral is probably a good example

yes people pay for it, but they get value from that time and money

though long term you capitalizing on a specific set of content takes away revenue from others looking to do the same, almost like a pyramid (i.e. MKBHD and Linus Tech Tips making loads of money for their reviews making it almost impossible to make a successful reviews channel, at least on YouTube. Same with the beauty vloggers like Tati), so I suppose all wealth generation approximates to positive-sum

Technically this GitHub license term means you grant an extra license to GitHub whenever you upload it:

https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

As in " including improving the Service over time...parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers" is the provision that grants them the ability to train CoPilot.

(also, in case you're wondering what happens if you upload someone else's code: "If you're posting anything you did not create yourself or do not own the rights to, you agree that you are responsible for any Content you post; that you will only submit Content that you have the right to post; and that you will fully comply with any third party licenses relating to Content you post.")
> businesses will pass that on by raising prices

Businesses can only successfully pass on the higher cost of inputs if there are more dollars available to bid after the higher prices. Each economic good is different in this regard but if capital is made more expensive then fewer dollars are chasing after those goods which is deflationary.
I don't think the communication problems are inherent to the internet but I'm sympathetic to your greater point.

I think the gamification of communication on the Internet is one of the worst inventions, feeding into a lot of very negative neural architecture. Encourages people to seek quick validation from there like-minded peers, and encourages a sense of superiority people can only get from knocking down strawman. This is exacerbated by brief and content without any Nuance or resemblance to reality. In a lot of ways, Twitter incorporates the worst aspects of this. Reddit is arguably worse in terms of gamification, but at least it doesn't have a 144 character limit and tools to curate your consumption.

Lowering interest rates wasn't to encourage consumer spending. It was to prevent businesses from going bankrupt. If you owned a perfectly sustainable business pre-pandemic that happened to owe debt, you'd be completely screwed when your revenue plunged during the pandemic. The only way to stay operational is to take on more debt, but that may not be possible if interest rates are too high.

Lowering interest rates during a pandemic makes sense. What doesn't make sense is lowering interest rates when the economy was perfectly healthy in 2019.

I would expect the VC providers will be the issuing authorities - you won't get a digital driving license from Facebook, you'll get it from the DMV.

Now they might not be running their own infrastructure, but they still have to be the one who authorized the credential to be minted. A faux digital National ID card issued from a random social network will likely not let you get access to government services or let you open a bank account, even if the data itself is all correct.

It is more likely that you'll have "trust frameworks" describing technical and logistical interoperability, and verifiers will accept any issuer that falls under that umbrella. In the US with driving licenses and state identification cards for example, that would likely be AAMVA.
> Aside from the IP issues, it’s absolutely going to be used by bad actors: models fine-tuned on images of exes, co-workers, and, of course, popular targets of online harassment campaigns. Combining those with any of the emerging NSFW models trained on large corpuses of porn is a disturbing inevitability.

I'm wondering when the destruction of the traditional internet and trust networks, ala Neal Stephenson's "Fall, or, Dodge in Hell" is brought about. In the book (spoilers I suppose), an engineer develops a set of tools to cheaply and easily generate an internet hoax, the example the engineer uses to demonstrate the technology being a fake nuking of a town in if I remember correctly Ohio. Through sockpuppeting and a few choice hiring of actors (and just a teensy bit of image and video manipulation), he's able to convince the world for about a day that the USA has lost a remote town to a nuclear strike, and in fact it remains a conspiracy for decades after whether the town actually was nuked or not.

The point that I'm thinking about now though is the engineer develops these tools a bit further, then, after (with consent) targeting them wholesale on a single person, releases them to the world, which basically completely destroys the modern internet as misinformation and information become perfectly interchangeable.

A lot of reviews leave out how important this plot point was for the development of the various technologies that feed the main plot of the novel, that being an mind-upload scifi, namely technology around anonymous distributed ledger identification based on traits only AI can accurately tie to a person (i imagined it as like, millions of subtle characteristics such as how someone used their mouse, the pauses between typing certain characters, etc).

Long story short it become impossible to trust anything viewed directly on the internet without extensive editor (in the publication sense of the word) support.
The idea that what matters most is having the most followers is very arbitrary and not relevant to many strategies for enjoying Twitter. In my experience, Twitter is best as a place to have conversations, and this is optimal at some number of followers below 10k. There are many accounts out there having an amazing time at small numbers, having curated a medium-sized following of people who are interested in talking with them about the things they want to talk about.

systemd is usually a root process, regular user does not control it. Whether user being logged off means no such user processes should run is a policy question that has different answer on different systems and depends on the user as well. Systemd "unified solution" - killing user processes on logout - is not working well for many people especially on shared machines.
Your rabid devotion to your philosophy

There is nothing 'rabid' in what I wrote. Im not Angloamerican, and such manner of speaking is pretty normal where I am.

Lets say for a moment that it was 'rabid'. That is precisely what is needed in Angloamerica to prevent such things from remaining as foreign policy. The sole reason why such things continue is because Angloamericans are WAY too tolerant and accepting of such outright sociopathy.

> in fact, agree that America and the Western power hegemony has done enormous evil in the world

You dont:

> I was simply stating that, no, Putin and the Russian power structures (and China or any other powerful, large organization) are not any better, they are simply using the facts about the West's evils to mask their own

...because you are just equalizing the unspeakable, systematic, cold blooded sociopathy of an establishment that is committed for the sake of profit with the alleged, even imagined evil deeds of its enemies. There isnt any equivalence in between the Angloamerican establishment and anyone else. Objectively so.

> Maybe you need to go take a walk and cool down a bit

Maybe you need to stop being so repressed a bit?

Again there is nothing wrong or odd about the way I wrote. Im not English. Not American. Not Scandinavian or Northern European.

> understand the person on the other side of the screen

There is nothing left that still needs 'understanding' after the events of the last 2 decades. Atrocity propaganda in Anglosphere is as alive as it was during Ww I, Angloamerican public is disposed to buy it as much as they were back in 1914, and that is the only reason why that establishment is able to keep its late 19th century, brutal imperialism going just like it was 1899.

I always choose w3schools over MDN because:

* w3school's examples are no-nonsense and much easier to understand, with simple working examples. MDN's pages typically read more like academic references.

* w3schools typically choose compatibility over the most "modern" way to write something, and compatibility matters a lot to me. MDN basically ignores most browsers that are not in the dominant majority.

* w3schools pages are simple and load faster and are less gimmicky. MDN has weird markup with multiple scrollable areas on the same page, which is completely inaccessible to me.
> The economic contraction was due to governments instructing people to shut their businesses down and simply lifting those was all that was necessary to revive the economy.

Governments told people they couldn't go to work. Two thirds of the country live paycheck to paycheck. In order to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads many had to go deep into debt and/or eat into their savings which weren't always so great to start with since around 25% of Americans have no savings at all.

Forcing a great number of people into huge amounts of debt and desperation was bound to slow spending long after the bars reopened, and to add to that you had many households where breadwinners were suddenly dead or unable to go back to work either due to illness or unexpected childcare expenses since schools weren't able to perform their role as babysitter while parents worked all day.

Some financial support was (and still is) needed for families who suffered heavy economic losses because of the pandemic and the restrictions it necessitated. Consumer spending was doomed to suffer for a whole lot of Americans. Even after the restrictions were lifted it's pretty hard to stimulate consumer spending when people are trying to dig themselves out of a hole and avoid eviction. All of that was at least somewhat offset by the desperation of the wealthy to get back to spending on the goods and services they were denied while the nation was locked down though. People who were able to stay employed and had large sums of money in the bank throughout the pandemic were very quick to get back to spending. Unfortunately, most Americans didn't come out of the situation in such great shape. After all of the emotional trauma they were every bit as desperate for some familiar comforts and a return to normalcy but they were forced further into debt to get them.
