I understand the point you're making, and I have heard a number of the remarkable advances in "alternative" energy technologies. But I don't think that very many people believe that if the market were left to itself the climate will solve itself.
That would be an amazing sci-fi novel, if the concept hasn’t been done yet.
The hardest time I’ve had communicating at work has been with native English speakers from India. They have such a strong accent and such different idioms. Same to some extent with Singlish.

The problem is they really are speaking perfectly legal English, with grammar better than mine, but it’s a different dialect. Not true of ESL Indians.

EVs are "already" cheaper on TCO. You drive it for 10 years and you save money compared to ICE due to savings on gas and maintenance. They'll possibly never going to be cheaper on sticker price.

This is going to shock people, but the days of buying a new car every 3-5 years is over. It's not going to make financial sense. Used cars will be mostly worthless due to the batteries being shit. Financing is going to be different for low income people. Potentially just fewer car owners period. (which is great actually)
You're talking to the model right now.
I have a redirector extension in my browser that changes all requests to www.reddit.com/* to old.reddit.com/star so I literally never see it on my home machine. I am always startled by how awful it is the few times I ever open a reddit link at work
Products can be defective or even harmful without you noticing.

Does your multi vitamin actually contain every vitamin it says it does in the dosage it should? For many things you really depend on reputation and outside regulations as you’re hardly going to send random samples to a lab.

Even reputable companies make use of this. Look into how often SSD internals get downgrading without changing the product’s label.
There's plenty of greenwashing in tech, but I don't think it's hopeless. On an ops call this morning I heard about a team switching to a server type that saves ~40% on power, and their fleet is ~50k instances. Opportunities exist if you have the skills and this is an issue you care about.
It may also be that poor people have their services (drivers license renewal, K-12 school, apartment maintenance requests, welfare, job interviews) "improved" by AI while the affluent get to talk to a human

As someone familiar with insurer, provider, and facility IT systems, I'd offer an alternate explanation -- the data is bad because healthcare IT is understaffed (and often incompetent).

These are businesses that have squeezed most costs out, and IT is definitely a cost.

Imagine banking... if there were much less competitive pressure and an inability to offer services across state lines without substantial additional effort.

They received a mandate.

They tried to respond in the way that required the least amount of effort.

From someone in the industry, it's entirely plausible this is the best they can do.

Which usually means it takes CMS threatening to drop them for them to launch a multi-year project to finally fix the issue (somewhat).
More people die from NSAIDs than acetaminophen each year. An estimated 100,000 hospitalizations and somewhere between 1,000-15,000 deaths due to GI complications (bleeding).

On the other hand, plenty of software nowadays is permissively licensed (in fact, the overwhelming majority outside of Linux and the GNU project) and everyone from individuals to huge companies contributes to it for a variety of reasons.
Oh lord: the newspeak conflating "malware" of "they don't give me all of the source and all of their tools" with "ransomware encrypted all pictures of deceased grandma". I don't have a horse in this cockfight between religions because there are strengths and suck in each.

Windows annoys me because of prevalent active app stuttering and lag that has never been resolved with more soft-realtime IO and context schedulers to what the user is focused on. Debugging tools have somewhat improved but you have to be a nuclear engineer to locate what is impacting performance.
Bronze bushes work for bearings (still needs a lathe/ but not ball bearings). Chains can be belts of horsehair (or any civilisation with wire, tube and sheet metal can make a modern chain) or a treadle works okay. Spokes can be wooden.

The main limiting factor is probably the pnuematic tyre and smooth roads.

The “serverless” being referred to in the article is run using V8 isolates, whereas app engine runs full Node.js processes. Although they have limitations like not supporting raw TCP, isolates can start within a couple milliseconds and are much more CPU efficient than standalone processes.

We have no idea of what 27 or 27 million times smarter means functionally.

We could hope that “smarter” might mean “not interested in taking over the world, but rather in help maximize accomplishment, satisfaction, health span, and with a feeling of filial love toward its parents—-humanity, planet Earth, our sun, the laws of physics and chemistry, and the beautiful mess we call biology and evolution.”

Gently achieving those goals would be real indicator of high intelligence.

You are missing the point.

"One is my government, one is a hostile government."

This is a perfectly valid retort.

A hostile foreign government spying on Americans is a national security risk.

It is perfectly fine to care more about national security risks like that, even if both situations are arguably bad.

Hostile foreign governments doing it is simply worse and more important to regulate.

Please respond to this directly instead of talking around it.

Yea it is and it isn't a freaking competition. A chinese agent will not harm you unless there is a reason and even in the west they harm their own dissidents.

Did you actually read the article you linked? I ask because it was quite informative, and doesn't support what you're saying.

I don't really have the time to argue about it with you unfortunately, but if anybody else reads the above comment: yes, you can safely ignore it like the rest of the denialist comments that come from a place of ignorance. If you'd like to know why the commenter is speaking out of ignorance, the linked article is a great place to start, or look up tipping points.
All those oil changes PLUS changing the engine and/or transmission in 10 years (for me that’s about 150k miles). I drive a hybrid, which has some of the advantages and some of the disadvantages of both. I need to be able to do cross-country trips, but EV’s appeal to me on their lower long term costs and all the advantages others have mentioned.
Not OP but to me the ecosystem is too disjoint. To ship "production python", you need to figure out which of the "current" tools are to cobble together to build, test, and share your code.

`cargo` combines poetry, ruff, pipx, sphinx, pytest, etc. You might expect this to be worse. In some cases, it is (e.g. pytest). The super power is in being able to get a project up and going immediately without wasting time on figuring out which tools to use, scaffolding them together, setting up a host for your documentation, etc.

Then there comes the problem of distributing it where the target system has to have just the right version of Python.
Thanks for sharing this, I've added it to my reading list.

Honestly, library books tend to be better than random stuff in Barnes and Noble because if it wasn't checked out, it probably would've already been scrubbed from the selection (libraries have limited space), so instead of just getting whatever books were published in the last 2 years, you get books that were published in the last 200 years, and only the more interesting ones. Additionally, the Dewey Decimal system, or its replacement (don't remember what it's called), sorts stuff by similar topic, so if you're already in a section that is interesting to you, any nearby random book also is likely interesting.

This is why I like still going to physical libraries. Also, lack of user-hostile interfaces.

Just to add, a store person in Modesto Apple told me in order to get 0% apr for 24 months on new phone, that phone has to be tied/locked with a carrier for the duration of loan. I knew that was a load of crap, as 24 months is between me & bank/apple card/goldman. Its not like phone will be held as security. So I paid in full by apple card, and called apple card customer service right outside of store right away, and they made it a 0% apr 24 month plan, with no change to unlocked phone.
Don’t take it too much at face value.

This is the best they can do when all their incentives align so that being as opaque and disingenuous as possible about costs (and understaffing and often screwing it up helps with that!) helps them.

Hey ryanwaggoner, I do agree that this app is not meant to completely isolate you from everything and prevent all distractions, including distraction from smart phones. The one thing it does really well though is to help you setup goals and track all your tasks and reminders with ease. It also shows you your web apps in a single window with way less cluttered tabs. If you want to research or open any website, you can. You just open the command bar using CMD+1 shortcut (in mac) and just type the website you want to visit. By default, the command bar will open your websites or apps in split view so you don't lose focus of the work you were doing. But if going to a website is deliberate and you want to switch contexts fully, you can always press SHIFT+CMD+1 to open websites, apps, bookmarks etc in full view. Again, it is an extra but a deliberate step to switch contexts fully.

Basically, a lot of things are built into the app to help you focus by default. Even the daily productivity goals help you track your work habits and even tracks focus time by default. A lot of things in the app are done by default so you get to build atomic habits to achieve greater success in the long run and on a consistent basis.

Can you do all of this in other apps? Sure, you can do a lot of what this app offers by sticthing together many different and distinct apps. The problem is you will use those apps initially but revert back to your old habits. Since Floutwork helps you bring everything into one place, although it might feel restrictive at first, once you get used to it, you will realize you are able to focus way more. Would love for you to try it out. If it works, great! If it doesn't, at least you can say you tried ;-)

> Of course you need to have a structure within this codebase or you'll bump into the typical problems of large codebases.

I don't have the wherewithal to really dig into this now but to both those points I respond with a loving and resounding: "Duh!" (not directed at you)

What sort of project is it?
A trope means a common theme. I agree that it’s a trope because it occurs frequently (look at every climate change conference).

I think maybe you meant to say misconception or something like that where the reality is different than understanding. In this case reality is the same as understanding.
Part of the problem is that the former number is wildly variable depending on the type of food, the type of production and the amount of transportation to get it to where it is eaten.

Whereas oil-derived fuels are ... well, they vary but not as much. Certainly some food production models (e.g. alfalfa-raised cattle eating for meet thousands of miles from where they are raised) are truly horrible, and may indeed be worse than using fossil fuels.

That said, plant-centric, reasonably local food systems that don't use much in the way of synthetic fertilizer generate massively less carbon than any sort of oil production in terms of distance-travelled-per-unit-of-carbon.
Don’t bet on it.

There is enough (potential) money and incentive here that almost any system will be perverted eventually.

NHS is not known for speedy treatment, for instance.

It’s about ongoing oversight and a willingness and ability to cut through bullshit to fix things. That’s in short supply here and everywhere else.

The stories (first hand from relatives who use it) of blatant profiteering and abuse of the system in Medicare is mind boggling.
Plenty of companies including every one I’ve worked for maintain their own forks of open-source software, often while waiting for maintainers to apply patches.

I’ve also contributed patches upstream to open source software plenty of times and the majority of time the maintainers have been willing to accept it.

Tons of Linux distros maintain their own set of patches on top of loads of software to make it work better with the rest of their system.

Sure, there are examples where it’s infeasible to change things but in practice it’s a lot more likely than with proprietary software.

Reduce carbs to as little as possible. But eats lots of protein instead. Fats too. Bread, pasta and rice are 'killers' for me.

One doctor I know eats lean beef in 500G to 1KG amounts. I don't know that I could do that.

And only 'above-ground' vegetables, so no carrots or potatoes (which are stores of carbohydrates), but eat broccoli, peas, beans, tomatoes, etc. instead.
What are you imagining it should be?

You can see your doctor pretty much freely within the US for nearly any reason. This idea you cannot see your doctor in the US, or that you receive treatment from nurses or administrators is simply not true.

> insurances and especially hospitals

You may be confused, because some doctors operate private practices, while others choose to work for large hospital organizations. Private practices may be more akin to what some people's idea of a doctor should be. Most insurance plans offer a selection of hospitals and doctor networks, allowing you to chose the style and type that works best for you.

In all cases, you can see your doctor if needed, with very little lead time if any.
My score is always in 660-760 range over yearly view, and many of my cards are around 24 to 29 % apr. But as you said, I pay all of them every month, so zero interest paid since 2019. Only a credit unions rewards visa is 12%.
I’m not sure if you think you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me here.

I’m saying that it’s unrealistic to expect to pay $X in Manhattan and $X in Iowa and to get identical living arrangements. That’s it. If your employer is located in Manhattan and requires in-office work, your employer doesn’t care that you can’t afford the McMansion of your dreams in Midtown. You just need to make a choice that is realistic: move and get a smaller place and commute to the office or find a remote job and stay in Iowa.

This is how the third world operates, the government is the enforcement arm of the ruling party. Good to see it happening in the first world.
Microsoft has always had shit UX. MS-DOS 6.2x was an improvement over DOS 3.3. Windows 3.x wasn't as clean as it could've been. Windows 95 went too far on special effects. Windows NT was the successor to the failure of the OS/2 joint venture. OS/2 was quite an achievement and very stable. NT 3.1-3.5x had teething pains while NT 4 SP6 became solid. Windows 2000 was quite solid and preferable to XP.

Apple has had functionality that is moved and taken away in the quest for "perfect tomorrow someday" UX and functionality (merging macOS and iPadOS).

No Linux/GNU distro, not even Ubuntu, has reached a point to where functionality AND UX were both good enough for average non-engineer grandma.

FreeBSD usability is about in the Linux/GNU camp. There's less to manage under FreeBSD but it's not as ubiquitous.
Of course it's real. The Future of Life Institute is reputable and run by Max Tegmark. Most of the people I recognise have expressed compatible public opinions.

No, moderated groups weren't that rare; they were mostly unmoderated though.

For a while, social pressure kept things under control, as well as killfiles (allowing users to block each other). It was the beginning of the end when a pair of asshole lawyers decided to spam every unmoderated Usenet group with ads to help people enter the US green card lottery (in April 1994). This didn't immediately kill Usenet but started the downhill slide. For a while, admins worked to cancel spam messages but in the long term this was a losing battle.

Passenger cars are 33% of transport-related GHGs, the single largest category for transportation-related GHGs. Transportation-related GHGs is the largest category of GHGs in the whole pie for the US and comprises 27% of US GHGs. 33% of 27% is 8.9%. Light-duty trucks are 17.2% of transportation-related GHGs, so 4.6% of overall US GHGs. The US already has a heavily used freight-rail network.

Not going to argue. In their defense, I'd say insurers are more innovative (especially on the operations side and post-ACA) than the federal government.

IMHO, best of both worlds would be the federal government taking over and centralizing the most core services (rates, interchange, data systems, etc) and allowing private insurance companies to build offerings on top of that (customer service, servicing, product mix, etc).
