The issues with aviation are two-fold: First, the amounts of emissions are very high relative to total passenger throughput. Second, the issue is very difficult to address meaningfully, because heavier-than-air aircraft have inherently high energy requirements that must be fulfilled by very dense, high-quality fuel, which we have no way to sustainably produce in sufficient quantities.

This video series explains the issues well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k50qD40p3WU&list=PL_AaC0duf8...
Mirrors my experience. Despite living in a city known for being quite "cold" (the "Seattle Freeze"), I have found it far easier to make friends here than I ever did in the UK. Even in one of the supposedly most unfriendly cities in the US, I find the vibe far more friendly than in the UK on average.
I would bet that most environmentalists would prefer skyscrapers (dense housing) over suburban sprawl. The real problem is that your average middle-class citizen would rather have a nice suburban house and the car that must accompany it than an apartment in a skyscraper...

> stop wasting the water

You need to define that carefully. If I use water in a city, and dump it down the drain, that water is not wasted - it's cleaned, and then returned to the watershed for the next city downstream.

On the other hand, water used in an arid area to irrigate (especially flood irrigation) could be wasted - but it depends on where it ultimately rains. some places that extra water causes rain in places that need it, other places it rains in places that have plenty of rain.

Are you on septic? That seems like the water is wasted - it goes underground. But if it refills underground storage reservoirs, it's not actually wasted.

So defining "water waste" is much more complicated than it may appear.

Indeed. I was (arguably) too old by the time LAN parties were a thing -- my generations' LAN party consisted of a bunch of guys huddled around a (single) home computer. But I do recall the outcry when SC2 was released w/o support for IPX (which wasn't supported anymore by Windows) or other means to play against other gamers server-less in a LAN.

I think a bias against crypto is clouding your argument. Reading the whitepaper makes me wish Bitcoin had never existed, given I imagine plenty of people would apploud many of the ideas in it.

With all the flaws of npm, people do want to be able to have a immutable, mirrorable package-repository with a trust framework they can independently confirm. This does that, along with clever extras like "tasters" who stake a certain amount of value before confirming a package does x.

It's.. sad, that any tech that uses blockchain is now doomed to flag-death because of everything. I get it, but can't help but wonder how I'd have felt reading this paper 10 years ago.

Blink has custom silicon, which may be forcing competitors with generic SoCs to exaggerate. Blink's claims are precise, https://support.blinkforhome.com/en_US/f-a-q/how-long-do-the...

This is roughly 70 seconds per day. For the Indoor (gen 1) and XT cameras, 2 years of typical use is defined as 40,000 seconds of Motion Clips and Live View. This is approximately 50 seconds per day.

I don't think I understand. Fidelity 401k - Millions of people put in their paychecks, millions of people have withdrawn successfully in their retirement. An unsophisticated investor will not lose anything.

Crypto - no way to know what, if any, company is legit. If I use a hardware wallet and lose it I'm screwed. FTX seemed pretty legit a few weeks ago, they even had an NBA arena named after them! There are dozens of ways an unsophisticated investor can lose everything.
They're not going to do something like drivers license or a test. Right now being an "accredited" investor is solely based on wealth. Sometimes on a broker website you click a multiple choice questionnaire that says "are you sophisticated: yes or no". It's a broken system that's not going to change. Extending it is a bad idea. Nanny states are bad idea.

As I mentioned there, personally, once I switched to WFH once the pandemic started, this was a total non-issue for me. I even switched teams and had all brand new coworkers. They never saw me and I never saw them. Everyone's totally fine with it.

I mean, for many of us, we've often had to have meetings/calls with people in another geo anyway. People talk on the phone all the time and I've yet to hear someone say they didn't feel engaged talking to someone on the phone because they couldn't make eye contact. People fall in love that way all the time.

This seems glaringly obvious to me as well. A basic scrutiny of how the money is made reveals deep flaws. It should be clear to anyone who has money to invest that there is a reason why one investment vehicle pays 8% versus another which pays 2% (CD's).

I don't believe they should lose their money without recourse, but people shouldn't have zero responsibility for their financial decisions. Some risk and educational foundation must be assumed by the individual. It would be nice if regulators and journalists gave a clear picture, but everyone should remember, they likely have no financial stake on their findings.

This is correct.

Due to how long these power cuts have persisted a lot of businesses, industry and the middle class & up have almost habituated to the levels up to 4. Shopping centers have generators, business parks have full solar and retail stores have battery backup. For instance a local clothing chain (Foschini) installed 300+ Tesla powerwall setups so that all their locations can be totally uninterrupted even with 2.5/5/7.5 hours per day of power cuts. Cell towers, fiber infrastructure, hospitals, even traffic lights at busy intersections all have battery backup these days.

The reason this announcement is making the news is because levels above 4, like the two weeks or so of stage 6 we recently had are much more problematic. You start to run into issues where cell tower batteries can only charge like 80% back up with the number of hours powered per day - and so after a few days they no longer have enough charge to keep up with the interruptions and go offline, disrupting communications & internet access.

Additionally the provisions heavy industry has made over the years to deal with this become insufficient and you start to lose shifts and thus there's a lot of evidence the economy is very materially affected at these levels of cuts.

Of course the real weight of this crisis lands massively on the poor and disrupts job growth when it's desperately needed, curtails foreign and local investment etc. To discuss how parts of society can easily function with the lower stages of power cuts is not to miss how insane this all is... A society of 60 million people has largely stood by while this has happened for approx. 15 years now. And it's not like this is a matter of a poor nation without the ability to invest - approximately $40 billion USD has been spent by the power utility just in capex alone in this period - and afterwards they are producing less power than at the start... Quote from a local article: "It means that Eskom destroyed 46 GWh of power generation per R1 billion spent on increasing its power generation." [1]

This is issue of representative democracy, by design. Representatives, sometimes have too wide rights and have not strong enough constraints, hoping, elections will choose very good guy, who will use his opportunities wisely.

But unfortunately, in real world, exists deficit of good leaders, and it is much worse on local govt level, because this is like second league (supreme league are govt of country, country parliament, top scientific organizations, military tops, and tops of top corporations).

The issue I have with Matrix/IRC/IRCv3 compared to Discord is that they don't really work well with public communities.

Discord's server/channel/role system is amazing, and I don't know why everyone else isn't replicating it.

For instance, let's take the Pine64 Discord server. It has a grand total of 27 channels split into 10 categories (including top-level). Using Discord's permissions system, some of those channels are read-only like #announcements.

Pine64's server is also bridged to Matrix. Matrix requires every single channel to be bridged individually into their own Matrix chat, just look at this table (https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Main_Page#Chat_Platforms)! In fact, some of the channels aren't even bridged at all! Meanwhile on Discord, everything's all in one easy to use place. You just join the server, and that's it.

But what about Matrix spaces? Aren't those the equivalent of Discord servers? The issue is that rather than an integrated experience, Matrix servers are just a built-in version of the table I listed above. You still have to leave/join chats individually and it doesn't even have categories!

But that's all from a user's perspective, what about from a server admin's perspective? Discord's permission system is great and flexible, and Matrix's system is just kind of bad. In case you don't know Matrix's system from what i understand is basically: every user gets a permission level number, and users with certain levels can do certain things. That's it, no flexibility whatsoever.

Meanwhile on Discord, you can create roles which when given to users allow them to do certain things. Like anyone with a "Moderator" role can delete messages or ban people. But you could also make it so "moderators" can't delete messages, only ban people. And you can also make roles behave different on per-channel or per-category basis. You can even make it so users can't see a channel at all without a role (for instance, a server I'm an admin on has a #mod-chat channel and a #admin-chat channel).

Matrix's system just can't do that. And it really doesn't integrate with their Spaces system. There's no way to make it so only certain people can see certain channels in a Matrix Space. In fact, there's no way to manage permissions for an entire Matrix Space at all! It's limited to a per-chat basis.

And that long-winded rant is why I will stick with Discord.
Yeah that sounds good. Not actually limiting people. Make them responsible for their actions. But that is not in the same spirit as other commenters mentioning "accredited investors".

I dislike this argument because people find it so compelling. As if we should share an enormous guilt for the crimes of the elite who ruled our ancestors.

I think OP's point was that more directly transporting water to where it's used by humans is more efficient, and will also remove/reduce that particular consumers impact on existing rivers (therefore reducing impact on ecosystems).

To more directly address the OP's point - dumping water into existing resevoirs and rivers allow us to reuse existing infrastructure getting water from source to consumer (at the cost of other inefficiencies).

I'm certain the real answer is case by case and if such a system were to be implemented, we would see the whole spectrum of implementation deployed.
