They cannot afford to stockpile fuel.

I listen to a podcast by a man who grew up on that reservation. While he was back visiting his grandmother, a propane truck was filling her tank. He told the driver, "Whoa! Stop! We can't afford that much!" The driver told him, "Don't worry, it's free. Venezuela is paying to fill everyone's tank."

Those propane tanks are mostly empty unless Venezuela is paying (before Venezuelan oil revenues dropped, Venezuela provided free propane and heating oil to the desperately poor throughout the US [and many other countries]-- in solidarity. The illegal sanctions by the US and the US's illegal seizure of Venezuela's foreign assets, that have crippled the Venezuelan economy mean it is highly unlikely this Venezuelan program will return.)

Edit: Corrected initial cause of the termination of Venezuela's heating fuel program-- per child comment by vorpalhex.
I find people around using short video apps more. But either way it is mindless consumption.
I love how whenever this argument comes up, everyone gives a free pass to oil, as if its supply is infinite and extracting it is preferable to mining battery materials. Somehow, burning a larger quantity of oil in inefficient individualized engines is better than building batteries that have potential and financial incentive to be recyclable.

Lithium mining is supposed to be bad but we all seem to gloss over the fact that oil extraction is no different than mining. BEVs plain and simple use less total energy per mile by a long shot, and you can generate that energy however you prefer.

Compare replacing the weight of your battery every 10 years with the weight and volume of all the fuel you’ve burned in 10 years of ICE driving. There’s no such thing as recycling gasoline.

The charts in this article illustrate the issue nicely. Even with non-ideal unimproved current-state EV technology, the massive amount of oil burned in your gas tank is the biggest problem:

I guess you don’t understand how things work outside of your circle. They’re not software engineers on ridiculous salaries. Lots of people live day to day, not knowing where their next meal is coming from, never mind prepping a huge stockpile for storm events, or being able to spend thousands moving elsewhere & being able to afford said move/rent elsewhere/get work etc.

People’s biggest problems are mostly not how to pass a FAANG interview.
You don't have to have anything in a movie. The question isn't "why include hip things", the question is "were those hip things just tacked in". They weren't. They served a purpose.

You could replace them with some generic thing, I suppose. But how would that make the movie better?

Meanwhile, if you eliminate them, the story gets worse. Unlike most product placements, which are at best removable background and at worse make the movie worse.

Meanwhile, I imagine Zoom arose naturally to solve the speakerphone but still need to see characters issue. I'm guessing Among Us was added because someone on the set played it and thought it would add something, and Twitch seems like the best real-life example of someplace that you would expect a modern tech mogul to help someone set up a streaming channel. Far from being tacked in, those seem like the best possible solutions to those problems.

And COVID is a fact now. You could release a movie in NYC in 2003 with the Twin Towers still in them, but I don't think people would claim you were being "hip" removing them. They would say you seem out of touch for leaving them in. Even if the story was set in "indefinite past time when they still could have existed"

So now you're no longer just responsible for your own prejudice and your own actions, but also responsible for other people's prejudice and other people's actions.

It's also funny that scientists are often quick to criticize non-experts for weighing in on their area of expertise, but seem comfortable claiming authoritative knowledge of the historical facts and ethical arguments in this case, while ignoring the judgment of actual historians.

> Taiwan isn't surrounded by US yes-men countries.

Taiwan is close to key US allies (Japan and Korea) and several other nations that aren't huge fans of China lately. It's also more protected than Ukraine by natural features, i.e. a strait the Chinese invasion force would have to cross in an amphibious assault.

The deterrent from Ukraine is that conflict's showing how effective large numbers of man-portable anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles can be on an invasion force.

Yes, it’s more difficult to prove, but it doesn’t matter at all. There are already similar laws in US, and everywhere in the world, that are very difficult to prove that somebody broke it. Especially doesn’t matter in the context of social norms.

Yes, that‘s the conclusion I drew after a number of interactions. “It tried to convince me” was shorthand for that it persistently argued for that. I don’t attribute any actual agency to ChatGPT, of course.

The lack of self-reflection, of logical reasoning ability and associated memory is what makes ChatGPT useless for the use cases I’d actually find interesting.
> Those things you mentioned are indeed not worth celebrating

Landing on the moon is not worth celebrating? Wow.
I support enforcing laws both inside and outside prison, but would not be at all surprised to find the base rate of law-breaking inside a prison was higher, giving that the reason prison exists is to segregate proven past committers-of-crime away from free society under a premise that they are likely to do so again.

We should work to reduce that in-prison crime, but not at the crime-risk expense of the never-convicted. Perhaps stricter law enforcement inside prisons is needed if you’re saying that the reforming-to-ongoing-law-abiding within are being victimized by on-going criminal activity.

Indeed. For most it's nor ideology, but a genuine difference of opinion regarding how bad CO2 climate change will be in the next 100 years and how easy it will be to mitigate.

That said, there's a fairly large degrowth faction who are very underrepresented in debate/discussion forums like this who would genuinely want to reduce energy consumption and fossil fuel consumption even if they didn't cause climate change. I encounter them a fair bit in the real world.

> one doesn't need to run some sort of enormous study to establish the point that these code assistants are not a magic gateway to quality code at any experience level

You just have to use it a couple times to figure this out. It’s pretty obvious what the limitations are and most programmers are smart enough to understand what it is and what it isn’t.

This is why I’m skeptical it will be a problem, it’s not being sold that way and after using it that will be obvious.

So anyone dumb enough to treat it like that and trust the output blind probably wasn’t a good programmer before. And if they keep doing it they don’t have proper incentive structures to not produce buggy code (senior devs, bosses, customers etc will notice that output is getting worse at a minimum when the product breaks or doing QA).
It’s unfair to lump in all activists with dishonorable, lying ones. There will always be parasites who glob onto any movement purely for the status, but that shouldn’t alone discredit the movement.

Most smartphones now have USBOTG, mean, limited usb host, so You could try to connect ordinary usb mouse with simple cheap connector "microusb otg" or in Your case, "USB-C otg", and it will emulate touchscreen (just appear mouse coursor and than interface will work very like Apple single-button mouse interface, sure multitouch gestures will not work, or attached to other buttons/dial).

You only need somehow turn on smartphone, so it will boot system and show SYSTEM login/lock screen.

BTW I'm not sure, what You talked about "pin code". I mean, classically, smartphone boot Android, and it have running usb-otg drivers, etc.
But exists "feature-phones", like samsungs with "secure-boot" included directly into SoC, so it's boot loader have some interactivity with very limited interface (like grub), and it does not have usb drivers/etc.
I usually avoid such interfaces, prefer to use less secure, but more reliable stock Android.

Other options need to do some things before crash - install app, install alternative boot, activate developer mode, backup all to cloud.

Good luck!
It's not "ideological" to want to stop setting the planet on fire so we can continue to live opulently and conveniently. Matter of fact, it's most practical to do so.

Besides, there is only so much readily extractible fossil fuel anyway, and for some forms (petroleum) we are near or past that limit, after which costs start going up... which can be a real bitch if you're dependent on those forms.

Okay, I do agree this qualifies as opting out of the housing market.

> Believe it or not, people with ethics and willpower to follow through still exist

Sure. I'm there myself on a few topics, and have lived them for quite some time. But you need to understand that this puts you at odds with 99% of society, and as such your example isn't going to be found as actionable advice by the sheer majority of people - even people who agree with you 90% of the way.

Would you mind sharing your numbers? If I just spitball with a 10kBTU/hr design load, a heat pump COP of 3, and assume that your heating requirements are entirely taken care of by that design load for 8 hours at night, that's still like 3 Powerwalls to last 3 nights. I'd say there are better ways to spend those resources, especially considering that batteries wear out like everything else.
I would encourage Eschaton to re-read the words they typed and consider the irony. "F your peace of mind. It is a narrow banded one." I am not religious, but your hostility smacks of the "narrow bandedness" your post is so quick to call out.
Social media is distinct in that it's not one thing, one experience.

It's many different experiences, that users are cut between, exposed to. Where-as calling a friend every hour doesnt make sense & would get repetitive, one can just drop into the feed of experiences whenever they want.

Your point remains, certainly. But I do think there's a kind of unbridled access to novelty & other-peoples-creativeness that is indeed remarkably blunting when compared to most personal lives & options we'd have.
Why does every feature of every living thing have to have an evolutionary explanation? The author struggles to look for a natural selection explanation for honeybee stingers and then hand-waves away all that useless speculation by simply noting that other species of bees and wasps "followed a different evolutionary path". Why even bother speculate then? Different things are just different, I don't need an evolutionary explanation for that.

In fact, I would say this cult-like insistence on making up an evolutionary explanation for everything, which cannot be tested or falsified, and employing mental gymnastics to find any reason to fit the theory (instead of testing hypotheses by experimentation) sounds more like a conspiracy theory than science.

That seems equivalent to a graph to me, and yes, I'm unaware of any kind of search that a graph does not permit. Indeed it could be the basis for a system that, in my opinion, would dominate any of the existing knowledge graph / tool for thought products. It would consist of three more pieces:

* A database for backlinks. (Links from file X to file Y would only be possible when X has an appropriate file format -- `.txt`, `.md`, `.org`, etc.)

* A search grammar with the following primitives:

* find children of (links from) query results
* find parents of (links into) query results
* take the disjunction (OR) of queries
* take the conjunction (AND) of queries
* group queries with parentheses

* The ability to pipe files found via ordinary shell commands into that grammar.

Given the size of most peoples' knowledge graphs, you wouldn't even need to keep a text index (ala Lucene) -- `find` and `grep` would be more than sufficient.
Yes, looks kind of quaint, but if Pete Townsend of The Who uses it, I’m in!
The whole problem with social media is the feed. Remove that feed and replace it with something that is not the mechanism to keep users captive and most of the issues with social media are solved.

One of the ways to achieve that is to make people at the center of app. The user chooses avatar from multiple avatars on main screen and view their updates. Once they have viewed someone's update they can go back do it for other, it becomes boring very fast and discourages app usage. No social media company is going to do this but something of this sort needs to happen.
Agreed that context is extremely important. Income is an imperfect measure of buying power, since prices vary significantly based on geography, but it is still a measure, and in the context of globally traded commodities such as energy or fertilizer it is quite important. The price of oil or fertilizer is likely very similar (if not more expensive) in Cambodia compared to a place like the US.

I wonder which modern heroes will have their statues torn down by future generations.

I was watching Jackass the other day and they have a new disclaimer that it contains outdated social norms. I like this approach but at the same time, why does anybody need to be told this? Nobody is perfect and social norms change with time.

Why do people need to be told that we are celebrating achievements, and not political beliefs?

There is a severe deficit of autonomous thought in the modern US.
> The funny thing about homelessness is that its a material issue.

This is funny indeed. But for a different reason than you think. Bay Area progressives like yourself became so embedded into capitalist thinking that they discarded everything else from a working social system. Everything is solved with money (i.e. capital). Homelessness - money. Mental illness - money. Drug addiction - money. Racism - money. Crime - money.

It's no surprise that you did not understand my last statement - you are the prime example of it. Marxist because it's a class war, we just need to get rid of the rich and everything will be great. Capitalist because we can solve _everything_ with more money (ignore social responsibilities, opportunities, community, fairness). Wokeist because all inequality is caused by racism, sexism and other -isms. It's an amalgamation so intoxicating that even when you read the description, you don't realise it's about you.

Added onto "must pass" legislation.

The market does not wait. The natural result of this legislation is more discrimination against hiring women. Pregnancy is and should be a choice.

Overwhelmingly the workplaces that discriminate in this manner are paying along the poverty line. We do not need more children, much less children intentionally brought into the abuse that is poverty. Cities are full, schools are full. Social programs are a failure, ask any of us that have been through them.

By having higher quality skilled work you eliminate these problems. Bargaining power. Reward the pursuit of this and you will also achieve tangible change.
My Mum did this with magpies in Australia. She lives alone in a small rural town and started feeding these two magpies, that seemed to like her garden, with small pieces of meat.

Over the course of a couple of years, the magpie pair even brought their chicks along for a free feed. At one point there were six or seven regular breakfast guests.

One of the original magpies would practically eat our of my mother's hand, the other wasn't quite so bold.

Sadly, they stopped coming at one point. My mum heard from a neighbour that a large number of local birds, including magpies, had been poisoned. I guess that's what happened to them.

There definitely is a limit to US support for Ukraine, but currently Ukraine’s only hope is that Russia’s willingness to fight will run out before either US support or Ukrainian willingness to fight does. So, hopefully we’ve had serious discussions behind closed doors with Ukraine about how far we’re willing to go. But signaling that publicly would weaken Ukraine’s position (by giving Russia a light at the end of the tunnel).

My understanding of the situation is that realistically the US has a lot of latitude to influence Ukraine, but should not go behind their back and negotiate with Russia. Any diplomacy that routes around Ukraine means their priorities will be given less emphasis. Since they are the ones actually paying in blood and human suffering, we owe them deference when it comes to when and how to negotiate. We’re spending money but it is the sort of spending we can handle for a while.

You end-up with fragmentation of corporations not fragmentation of the internet.

If Google sets a self governed license based entity in Europe with staff from Europe(executives including the CEO etc) then you have two separate entities playing by different rules(EU based or U.S based) linked just through a licensing deal. Think of it like Microsoft sells On-premise Azure instalations to governments.

The EU and US entities would share no internal data b/c they would be two different companies that use the same software for different clients.
