> Taiwan is an integral part of the Chinese nation

No it isn't. China under the Communist Party has never ruled or controlled Taiwan (since 1949). Taiwan democratized, developed, and got wealthy first, completely independently of China. Taiwan has never in modern history been an integral part of China.
As another commenter pointed out, plasticizers are not plastics. It's disingenuous to link health issues with plasticizers to microplastics. Additionally, we should not extrapolate concerns with BPA plastics releasing chemicals when placed under specific stressors (e.g. heat) to all plastics in the environment. There have been no studies I'm aware of that link microplastics to endocrine disruption. Even the first article you linked specifically states that the primary concern with microplastics is likely a physical (not chemical) one.

The slowdown in population growth has been a topic of world leaders for quite some time. This isn't a topic of interest because world leaders are somehow concerned about the cause (e.g. chemicals in the environment). In fact, the cause is well known and due to fairly straight forward anthropologic factors. As quality of life improves, population growth declines. This happens in nature as well. Populations under stress tend to reproduce more. World leaders are interested in modeling/understanding this as it has macroeconomic effects (e.g. Japan's decade long struggles with stock market decline). This is also why the US and the west in general has went so heavy on quantitative easing for the past decade. They are trying to stave off deflation. Unfortunately, COVID and the associated supply shocks caused that plan to go off the rails a bit...

Finally, I'm not sure what climate change policy has to do with any of this.
Exactly. And the TSMC chair said it best:

TSMC would be rendered "not operable," TSMC Chair Mark Liu said.
My wife and I plan to have all our kids before 30. We're doing well above average financially, and we want to be young while our kids are young. She is currently pregnant with our first.

It helps that she is not very career-minded, I have the opportunity to work from home, and I'm working a role where I earn well and never need to do overtime.
I am in awe.
> 2. Pads use bluetooth or wire to connect. If I use bluetooth, then my headphones must be wired. So there is a tradeoff there. Headphone are necessary for meetings.

Recently entered the iOS/ipadOS world and still having a lot of trouble adapting, but are you suggesting that the ipad can only connect to one bluetooth accessory at a time? Or that the bluetooth connection become unstable when too many devices are connected?
I'll rather hang myself then going to a nursery home now and even more so in the future. I'm living a happy life and looking forward to tomorrow - and yet I am dead serious about that. I've seen enough people in those places. Did you notice that one thing you learned while growing up and maturing was that you started to notice when the party is over and it's time to leave instead of hanging on until the very dire end - it's the same thing with life.

Also neither is yourself getting children or other people getting some a guarantee for a dignified existence in a future nursery home nor is such utilitarian thinking a good basis for deciding on whether or not to bring someone into the world.

Humans will eventually go the way of the Dodo - and that's okay. Because we are not special. Not at all.
I still do, and lethal police robots seem as good an argument as any.
My employer didn't have enough (challenging) work for me anymore. According to my employer I had to find my work in the organization myself. Which IMHO is a load of BS. This had be going on for close to a year, and before I realized it, it was too late. Although I have mentioned this every sprint retrospective and with every performance review, nothing was done about it.
thatDot | Remote | Full Time | https://www.thatdot.com
The project you'd work on: https://quine.io
Frontend Engineers with Scala experience: Mid- and Senior- Levels

thatDot has created the world's first Streaming Graph, called "Quine" to make interpreting high-volume data streams dramatically faster and easier [1]. After 7 years of DARPA-funded research and development with a fantastic team of engineers, it's a game-changing core infrastructure technology. Our products are used by major security companies to do real-time behavioral analysis, monitor and triage their alarms, and automate remediation of security threats.

We're an early-stage venture backed company, and now is a great time to join! We believe strongly that each person should get more from their job than just a paycheck! It should be interesting, provide a chance to learn new things, help advance your career, work with amazing and kind people, and be fun! A person ≠ their opinions. We value individual people who know how to disagree productively with each other so we can all learn. We deliberately cultivate a space where learning new things is the goal. Non-traditional backgrounds (i.e. non-CS degrees) are strongly encouraged; philosophy majors wanted!

Tools in our stack - NOT REQUIRED if you're willing to learn:
- Scala. We happily use pragmatic functional programming on the JVM.
- Akka. The Actor model is at the heart of what we do.
- Akka Streams. Backpressure is the ideal way to approach streaming data.
- Databases like Cassandra, RocksDB, and more.
- …and the right tool for the job.

> My bet is within 20 years we'll see it as the more immediate problem than global warming.

I don't want to diminish the importance of a paradigm shift in how regulators treat various chemicals, but I don't think this will be anywhere near as severe and immediate threat as climate change.

Ultimately, if there is a substantial pool of people who's fertility is not adversely impacted by some yet to be identified chemical, then it will be those people who's genes will pass on. Within a generation we as a species will have developed resistance to at least the impact on fertility by some unregulated chemical.
I notice very significant latency with my Moonlander Mk1, but that is most likely caused by the software and fancy layered kemaps I have created.

When I use the Moonlander, mainly for development, I end up typing a lot slower but producing the same output. I also have a lot fewer keyboard shortcut contortions, so my hands are happier.

Still it feels like we are trying to maximize the wrong thing, especially when writing software. It still feels very low level and mechanical, when the concepts and patterns are pretty well established. We just don't have a great interface for calling those up and making minor adjustments to suit our specific need.

I haven't used copilot, but from seeing devs on Youtube who have it enabled, I'm not sure it is the answer. The visual distraction from seeing possible but often slightly wrong solutions appear and then change seems like trading one chore for another.
Knowledge of bicycle riding, judo fall and swimming is stickier than buzzword bingo fads. SJ used the bicycle of the mind metaphor for computing. There is a specialist word for that kind of knowledge and there is a multivolume bookset on knowledge. The monkey business world of HR seems to corner the use of the word knowledge as in KM.
Consumers can voluntarily reduce their exposure to phthalates AND the industry can be regulated. Regulators aren't going to save consumers if consumers refuse to get educated or practice restraint.
I'll just say that whatever it is, it has to be corruption-proof. And in the current environment, I regularly see gaming the sorts of things you're suggesting.
It IS declining in western countries though, which is where all the “stop having children, you’re killing the earth!” propaganda is concentrated. ALL the population growth is happening in Africa and parts of Asia, that’s it. But curiously, no one is chiding poor Africans for having so many children.

> proof-carrying code within Wasm

That's a legitimately neat idea. There are couple of projects to improve safety of Wasm code using linear memory (such as RichWasm by Amal Ahmed and MSWasm by a number of folks at Stanford, UCSD, and CMU). Obviously unrestricted aliasing of the giant byte array that is memory makes this more difficult. I hope that Wasm GC can offer an abstraction base to express even more invariants. In some sense that will be a study in adding more powerful types and more powerful proof constructs that are either on the side or embedded in the code. So, exciting future directions!

Yep. I got the all the time. Co workers, spouse, etc.

> The majority of scientists reacted negatively to The Skeptical Environmentalist and he was formally accused of scientific misconduct over the book; the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty concluded in an evaluation of the book that "one couldn't prove that Lomborg had deliberately been scientifically dishonest, although he had broken the rules of scientific practice in that he interpreted results beyond the conclusions of the authors he cited." His positions on climate change have been challenged by experts and characterised as cherry picking.

Ehh.

If we were actually on a positive trajectory with a glimmer of hope on the horizon, I might agree with you. But we're not. Things are bad and the trends are only getting worse. Many places will become uninhabitable; the residents will emigrate elsewhere; the places being migrated to will react by electing right-wing nationalists; some resource or border conflict will result in war. It's gonna be bad. I'm not going to feed more lives into that meat grinder.

Darkhive | United States | REMOTE | Darkhive.com

Public safety and military robotics systems are unintegrated with existing equipment and applications. They require too much specialized training on, making them incredibly niche and significantly inhibiting broad adoption.

Darkhive is creating an autonomy software stack that will enable military and public safety users to intuitively interact with robotics platforms in order to more rapidly understand their common environment and make decisions together when it matters most. In addition to our core software suite, Darkhive is creating a palm-sized, autonomous drone optimized to demonstrate the capabilities of our software stack. The integrated software and hardware solution are key to realizing the full potential of the product in our target markets.

We're looking for an early hire to build out our SLAM stack. Our robots are designed and built in the USA. Let's make drones more affordable and accessible to public safety, humanitarian, and defense applications.

- Position can be 100% remote (US Only).
- We do in person meetings for fun/coordination when needed. Still a very small team!

- We're a startup, but we have funding and contracts. We're all mid-career so we want a sustainable, mature, diverse working environment.

- This position will involve defense work. However, we will never build drones that can harm people.

This is a curious observation which spawns so many new questions in my mind.

What is the cost of living in the places of the world where $900 USD is average income of its populace.

From which I would ask: in those parts of the world, where does and income of $900 USD put someone in terms of poverty or prosperity. What is their social mobility?

Then I would ask: do the people living in these parts of the world feel the same urge to be parents as people living in rich countries like the US? Are the more social pressures in rich countries that make parenthood a desirable goal?

Is there a correlation between a country's wealth and conception rate ?
I do assert that political representatives can be bought, but of course they're not exactly going to stay bought when the industry goes bust and the checks stop coming in.

I think a higher rate of miscarriages also limits post-30s fertility for many women. A miscarriage is at least one and often multiple months of time lost, while the clock is ticking.
I don't think that is how IVF works, you can't induce an adult female to produce eggs in any medically approved way. Apparently mammals are born with a finite number of eggs that just get used up as they get older.

Building for the Inevitable Next Cloud Outage
Every few months we read about the widespread impact of a major cloud outage. These events are unpredictable and inevitable, and, quite frankly, keep site reliability engineering (SRE) teams up at night. No matter your type of business, it is prohibitively expensive to deploy your applications everywhere around the world at the same time while still ensuring high availability.

Public cloud remains the most popular data center approach among the cloud native community, with multi-cloud growing in adoption. However, adopting a multi-cloud strategy isn’t as simple as hitting the “go” button. What’s more, despite best efforts at building out redundancy, the cloud providers cannot guarantee 100% uptime. As such, it’s not a question of if your servers or services will go down but rather when. And it will probably happen when you are either not prepared or least expect it (hello middle of the night support calls).

This is true for a number of reasons. For one, there are external factors, such as your Domain Name System (DNS) going down or upstream internet provider connectivity issues, that are outside the control of the public clouds. Then, too, there are the human factors involved, like when we make mistakes in code deployment that can be difficult to roll back. Of course, there are also natural disasters that can take down entire regions or cause significant headaches for services around the globe.

As a result, organizations spend a significant amount of time and money prepping disaster recovery plans while preparing for that next inevitable cloud outage.

The following is based on a talk by Section’s Pavel Nikolov at the KubeCon+CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 event. This first post will discuss the challenges in building for the next cloud outage. Part Two will demonstrate how to deploy a Kubernetes application across clusters in multiple clouds and regions with built-in failover to automatically adapt to cloud outages. You can also read Pavel’s column on this topic in TechBeacon.

> People really now consider children to be more somewhat a burden to things they want to do in life.

I think that goes back to decades of negative propaganda.
interesting that they didn’t publish the emails - that’s suggests that they somehow don’t support the narrative
“ After emailing him, they were told the meeting was specifically for residents of Chideock, but Mr Loder replied: “Let me know which villager has invited you and I will come back to you to see what we can do.”

Which implies the two women claimed to have been invited by one of the villagers eligible to attend the meeting? Strange that that wouldn’t be explained in the article if it was true, suggesting the claim was NOT true. And that I think could reasonably be seen as unusual by someone responsible for security for an event.
What is greatest marginal effect associated with this decrease? I see a lot of talk about plastics and endocrine disruptors. Maybe they are linked. But let's be real here, bodyweight, shitty diets, and little exercise are probably the main drivers.
I'm currently working on an isometric city builder game. It took me awhile to figure out how to depth sort all assets properly and quickly. I have walls that sit on the edge of a tile, i.e. they take up almost no floor space. Since my game will display the interior of buildings, this means the typical approach of sorting everything by the screen.y position (so long as every asset is a cube (or stack of cubes), or broken up into cubes) fails, because the bottom of the wall texture can be a whole tile-size away from the bottom of the asset.

I had to implement "snap to grid" calculations in the background for moving units inside buildings, meaning for the depth sorting algorithm, I pretend they are on a different tile (when needed). Unfortunately I dont have a video of this yet.

As for efficiency, I implemented static quads (for non moving items) and only draw items within the quads on screen. And for units/vehicles, I do a rectangle collision check (unit rectangle compare to screen space rectangle). It's very fast!
