Many of these beyond a surface-level inspection break down upon a closer inspection

Inefficient land and resource use

Land degradation

Loss of biodiversity

Soil erosion

In the US, most of the land used for grazing is already insufficient for farming most crops. You take cows and such off of them, you're left with near-useless land.

Chemical runoff from pesticides and fertilizers

Not exclusive to livestock and their feed, feels weird to attribute it to just them.

Widely-available meat in the Western world is a Pandora's Box; it's just not going away. It's better to find ways to make it more efficient than to go all pissed-off-vegan and want to ban meat everywhere in favor of ultra-processed replacement monstrosities. You'll win more people to your side too.

Furthermore, attacking the end-consumer does absolutely nothing. It's like banning plastic bags/straws, It just makes liberal lawmakers feel good about themselves. You want to really change our diets? Go after the billions in subsidies handed out to farmers for growing corn/soybeans/dairy and such in order to stay competitive against cheaper products overseas. Good luck.
'fast fashion' is not the same as utter garbage unless you just want to be a snob about things. People buy stuff from Ikea non-stop and it is perfectly ok to have 'fast fashion'.
Citation/examples needed.

There have been numerous talks at security conferences and solid research done on the security of Teslas. I don’t think you realize how sophisticated these things are. The infotainment system and the CAM bus are not the same software, for example. And attackers aren’t gaining remote access to them either (Teslas use stronger ssh keys than you do). So I’m not sure how this mega backdoor FUD even plausibly exists. A car isn’t a safe either, if law enforcement has a warrant for my car, or house, they’re going to forcibly break in if needed (heck they’ll even do that for a safe). Seems better to have Tesla legally complying/cooperating with law enforcement than the alternative where people use force.

I’m not saying we should build backdoors into everything for the kids, just to be clear. But I can be a happy consumer/user of a car with remote unlock functionality that’s implemented more responsibly than your npm account without devolving into “zomg Tesla backdoors your life to give you that feature” histrionics. That’s just not true. Like you, I would love to see, just like I argue for phones, the ability for enthusiasts and/or hyper paranoid people to install their own software roots in a supported manner if they don't want another party having access or if they want to delegate to a different 3rd party. And let me turn it on/off, sure. But having a car with remote unlock is not some gateway drug selling your digital soul.
I feel your pain, however, it's probably driven mostly by demand, and that demand just isn't high enough when you have limited resources for production.
I would replace Raskolnikov with a state-sanctioned executioner, and ask what sin their religion or society would ascribe to them? Often the answer has been "none".

There's a certain "turtles all the way down" weakness there, of course - how legitimate is the government, how aligned morality-wise is the society, do we hit absolutes at some point instead? When is the revolutionary actually justified? etc.

But I feel that generally a democratic state has a wide latitude to take action without needing to feel guilt over sin.

EDIT: And that a tendency towards excess guilt-feeling causes other problems of its own (which itself can be seen in some of the more extreme current liberal-white-person responses to the racial situation in the US). That's the particular point that originally got me on this thread.
Similar to others, mine was moving incredibly slowly trying to escape a monster in childhood fever dreams.
Well, fossil fuels are obviously finite so there will always be a peak. The concept itself is sound.

The question is when and where it will occur. On one side more difficult extractions become viable, on the other side green energy makes the oil economy less viable (though notably most plastics are still fossil based)
I believe Garmin ticks all the boxes, depending on your definitions of "vibrant" and "robust" at the end there.

I had a Pebble, which I really enjoyed, but my Garmin 945 is much better at everything I actually wanted the Pebble to do (and much more).

I honestly don't actually care about third party apps, because the device does everything I want it to without them.
There are flea markets and party stores where you can buy the same in the US. I don't really think it leads to people buying more of the legitimate stuff. Except in the case where the bootleg quality is really, really bad (hand-held camera in a theatre vs a DVD rip for example)
I mean, let's not overrate the lobbying of the Oil and Gas industry. They don't even crack the top 5 sources of lobbying dollars in the US. They are there right alongside lobbyists for solar and wind and nuclear and etc. (And let's also not set aside that most of the oil extracted in the world is not done by private companies but by government ventures).

And again, their lobbying is a drop in the bucket as to their actual discovery expenditures.

I don't think it's a helpful narrative that oil companies are hell bent on forcing oil down our throats unwillingly. Sure, they will do whatever to make a buck, but they would gladly switch to green energy if they thought it was more profitable. We have even seen this when Exxon (briefly) was the number one spender on solar R&D in the world.

I think people see the lobbying and underrate the extent that it's a two-way street. Politicians NEED low oil prices. Voters WANT low oil prices. And to a certain extent, oil companies have all the cards because of the demand.
Realistically speaking, all signs are pointing to things not being okay.
Climate is not a "solvable problem" anymore, we are past the point of no return (several of them). Damage control is all we can do now, and we are not doing it.

If you think things will be okay because historically has been so, let me remind you that a permanent change of this scale is a catastrophe that is unmatched and unprecedented in human history. Maybe nuclear conflict was as scary, but its solution was comparatively much simpler, and it never passed the point of no return.

More than that, things usually do not turn out okay except for the class of people who initially benefited from bringing about the problem. Many peoples have faced horrors that were not and could not be undone, though it's easy to forget that while living in the society built on their ashes. Things always turn out to be okay... for the colonizer, the wealthy, the powerful

Statistically speaking, commenting on this platform firmly places you in a category that will likely survive climate change (at least in the medium term...) and probably profit from it, so excuse me for calling out your reasons for believing that technology will save us.

By the way, it is my understanding that the scientific consensus is that technological solutions are not going to be able to save us (as they are impractical, too far off, and harder to implement than just stopping the use of fossil fuels).

Also if you think that "spouting predictions of the apocalypse" is comforting, you severely misunderstand the psychological issues that (especially the younger generations) are facing in light of terrifying powerlessness against climate change

Ultimately, this is a political problem, and assuring everyone that "things will be okay" only makes it less likely that any action will be taken in time.

Now is the time to panic, and do something about it. If we are able to turn the tide and somehow make things okay... great! The panic was well placed.

> At the top the diagram contains, "inhabited by [...] trolls", and at the bottom "the only way into 8chan"

Your comment seemed sensible to me, until I realized that it's likely because we are both old and think about trolls as being on 8chan.

But if you look at pretty much any time since about 2015, the most notable trolls have been large public figures with an extremely wide reach, saying the same sort of things that get a rise out of people on 8chan and Reddit. To take the most recent example, Elon Musk's upending of Reddit can be seen at least partially as an instance of a large public trolling. On a more distributed plane, phrases like "own the libs" are common enough in the public consciousness to be used by angry 45-year old commenters on Facebook who have never been to 4/8chan.

That is why trolls are at the top of the diagram, because it's a diagram as of 2023 -- whereas you're thinking of trolling from 2013 or maybe even 2003.
I found this a little difficult to follow, because you show a table and say that it contains a typo, but you don't directly say which part of the text needs to be changed.

I think the words "V is visible only if TE is not T" are intended to replace the entire text in the bottom-right cell of Table 2; is that right?
Oh, this is so ripe for a totally unproductive flame-war. I don't know how anyone with eyes can walk around Warsaw and think it should look more like Minsk. And their "fascist" movements are... well... not quite as "fascist" as some would like you to think.

> many of which consider themselves the peers of communist parties in other states

At least we can agree that the socialist parties in Poland are closer allies to Russia than to the West! Moral implication heavily implied.

Stockholders are not supposed to get anything if the company they're holding goes to zero, that's not a bug, that's literally how stocks work.
As a paying user, I wish the toggles were decoupled. For free users, I understand the lack of control. If you want to not have your conversations used in training, you also have to turn off chat history. Or I wish they would allow a toggle on a per chat basis, not on every chat. Step in the right direction though.
Because for Apple, there‘s a financial incentive for keeping the „we care about your privacy“ narrative alive.
Don't they have a chat channel? I thought you could always just hop on the chat and ask for an invite.
You could also add the -t option for direct piping to kill.

> All things equal, if you can complete the problem in 10 minutes and the company can hire somebody that can complete it in 9, then objectively the other candidate is the stronger one.

They are stronger in the specific problem space you’re testing for. If your business has a lot of novel coding problems that need to be solved in under 9 minutes, then sure, this is a great measurement.

On the other hand, if your business has a lot of hard problems that take days, weeks, or quarters to solve, measuring someone’s ability to solve a 9 minute problem is a terrible metric. If anything it’s a counter signal, since it tends to select for candidates that optimize short term thinking over long term planning and problem solving.
Anecdotally, the last time I went to Bed Bath and Beyond, it was an absolute ghost town.

No one was there, the prices were absolutely garbage, and the inventory was no better than anything you'd find literally anywhere else.

I looked around and thought to myself, "Wow, I bet their corporate rent costs a fortune to just be here, and they're probably burning cash hand over fist."

I'm not surprised in the slightest. Constantly amazed by businesses who seem to "still be in business," but the writing is on the wall and they're clearly zombie companies[1] or two feet in the grave.

Butler Lampson quoted some Xerox executive at the time as saying, "We don't want to be a holding company!"

Nonetheless. Damn, WHAT a holding company!
Getting mad won't fix it.

You putting quotes around words such as "buy" and "ownership" push people away from your view, and any view like it, unless they have already adopted it that view or a similar one.

if you want this to change, stop ranting, stop scare-quoting normal English words because you disagree with the way they are used, and approach the problem logically. asking rhetorical questions and being angry is not how you get people thinking about this.

state your case, (we know it, but state it anyway) without emotion of any kind, and without unanswered questions. start by verifying what this article is claiming using your own device. the entire article could be BS designed to enrage people and to see how far it spreads before it is fact-checked.

it is very difficult to listen to someone who is ranting and who is speaking from a point of emotion unless you are emotionally invested yourself. it is much easier to ask someone to think about facts than it is to ask them to feel about emotions if you want them to think about what you are trying to say.
I understand. Hope you make it through your current difficult situation, and get to a better place. Wish you the best of luck!

I just wanted to point out that to consider yourself a failure because you're "only" making 100k is a bit ridiculous. Going by that metric, 99% of the world's population is a failure. You're not a failure. You've just fallen through some hard times. Try your best, and you'll be out of them soon enough.

Virtual hug.

To be honest, anyone who used Ocaml understands immediately that the author gave it no chance and went looking for problems. It’s obvious because the post lingers a lot about things which are not actually issues like type conversion but don’t talk about the very real issues Ocaml has (opam is not great, dune is weird).
Could we stop Yellowstone from erupting with a giant geothermal power plant?
I drive a Prius C. I adore it, see them everywhere and of course it was canceled. I live in Wisconsin and so see so many full sized trucks that have never touched a dirt road or been to a Home Depot. If everybody got 50mpg in a little economy car we wouldn't even need EVs.
No, but allegedly if you get two adapters you can use a supercharger for free (with a Tesla)

You need a Tesla to CCS2, and then a CCS2 back to Tesla. I've only seen videos of this, haven't had the opportunity to test myself.

Makes me wonder what could be done to trick it into charging another EV for free.
Seems to be another case of Microsoft's broken "Modern Standby".

This is a large part of the problem. When we went house hunting, we wanted to live in a denser area. But we just plain couldn't afford it, so suburbs it was.
countless people are constantly harassed without consequences as a result of their names being known and participating in civics

that seems like a worse alternative, especially considering it's hard to change your entire identity offline, and the harassment includes actual physical violence
> Why do you not appreciate this sentiment? Inconvenient truths tend to not feel very good, but that doesn’t make them incorrect.

Is this a genuine question?

We're social animals and calling someone immoral is going to be perceived as a social attack by non-neurodivergent people.

> I mean this with all respect, but this really sounds like “well, the world hasn’t stopped abusing animals yet, so I really don’t have a choice but to participate, and it’s really tiresome when people point that out”.

If you think this is just about animals you're missing most of the picture. In the modern day people are told they are immoral for many many reasons: driving cars, not turning off lights when they leave the room, not going to that BLM protest, not signing the anti-abortion petition, not going to church, using shampoo, not donating to ukraine/save the children/deworm the world, etc etc

It's an extremely common tactic used by every activist on every topic.
If you google "OSI model" you'll find tons of resources of varying levels of technical difficulty. Pick the one that suits you best!

Maybe I am the weird one but I use a diary / planner what ever you want to call it. I'll never get locked out of it, I don't have to pay a monthly fee. Personally I think that I have enough screen time as it is.

Ok yeah the search feature is somewhat lacking but from the sounds of it most of these organise your life SaaS products have the same issue.

Sure I could lose it but I'd argue that losing your access to Notion et al. is worse because you know where your data is but you're not allowed in.
I fail to see why, in the absence of rigorous technical evidence, my benefit of the doubt should be with QualComm by default.
The most obvious one would be WFH. We had a global feasibility test, and from the worker's perspective consensus is that it was overall a positive experience. Then damn near every company out there made up some nebulous claims about "lost productivity" citing some internal study, and now nearly everyone is back to commuting at least partially.

We know we can live without the commute, we have actual data on its impact on CO2 thanks to the pandemic, and now we're mostly back to commuting. I don't see how anyone could argue that's not a real, tangible change that could've easily stayed.
Net Zero 2050[1], the very public and very well publicly elaborated plan by the United Nations and many climate groups and other NGOs to have zero net carbon emissions by 2050, is such a ridiculously extreme set of targets that it kind of looks more like a Peak Oil mitigation plan than an implementable piece of public policy. Peak Oil production was in 2018, and it hasn't gotten back there since.

Basically, I couldn't imagine Net Zero 2050 getting implemented in a democratic society. Personal automobiles and single family homes are ridiculously popular. If the amount of oil production is going to decline precipitously anyway, no matter what anyone says, why not have everyone prepare for it and make plans pretending they are doing it voluntarily. If global leaders talked about Peak Oil, that would promote nations to stop exporting oil and would stoke nationalism and make the problem dramatically worse for oil importing countries. Instead this Climate Change narrative brings countries together in a global regulatory framework.

I think part of the Ukraine war is that Russia, being one of the last big oil exporters, is probably aware of the real situation and wants to use their energy reserves in their own national interest. China wants to partner with Russia to benefit from those interests. The West would rather have the Russian natural resources come under the influence of a leadership team more amenable to distributing those resources in a way more in-line with a global government working to manage the energy transition. Soros said in a recent speech that finishing the Ukraine War will help us move on to tackling Climate Change[2]. Recent Russian estimates show the war continuing on till at least 2027. At that point we'll be much further along the possible oil depletion curve and Russia's economic power will only increase.

I would look for negligible attempts at carbon capture and sequestration, steady "voluntary" OPEC output cuts and a growing reliance on coal as tells that this is a Peak Oil mitigation plan and not about Climate Change. Look at China[3] lately going all-in on coal energy production for example.

Thanks, that’s news to me!
Does the APY fluctuate much? That is, is there a good chance they’ll drop it to 0 next month?
Markets dont follow logic because central banks pump incredible amounts of dollars via money creation.

Quantitative easing, 0% interest, massive inflation - are all just facets of the same problem - that central banks dont work for the common people.

Market looks irrational, but it is rational - money is "free" - so zombie companies can exist. Inflation just ruins the low and middle class, but who cares - it is convenient for governments.

Market was artificially pumped by quantitive easing. Also money is not free for normal people, banks earn interest and that interest comes back as inflafion.

Licence to create money out of thin air is like license to steal.
>Do you really just use your bank's app to transfer money to anyone, though?

yes, in canada the process to transfer money to somebody is to go to the "e-transfer" section in your bank's app or website, enter the email address to send to and an amount, and hit send. you don't need to know account numbers or anything like that.
> Anyone with an ounce of sense knows exactly what bans and prohibition lead to.

Just a counter example, muslims have been very successfull in prohibiton of all kinds of drugs and alcohol since 15 centuries.
But worse, it's like being required to own a Tesla because it's the only car available.
I remember having to deal with Kermit on the dialup line to the university. The connection wasn't 8-bit clean and IIRC XON/XOFF wouldn't work either on their modem, so it was very finicky and flaky whenever you wanted to transfer something.

Aren't brains amazing, storing all those ancient unused acronyms for decades?
I have been quite happy with Obsidian + Tasks.org (synced via nextcloud). I don't connect them in any way.

I used TickTick for several years and quite liked it (still recommend it) but at some point they started nerfing the free version and I became more concerned about privacy and supportively of open source so tried a few alternatives and found them to be great.

I mostly use Todo list to keep track of things I need to follow up on (like volunteer work) and homework.

Unfortunately, I still use Notion for a few things like Wikipedia page ideas because I simply don't like the way "databases" feel to edit in Obsidian with the available plugins.

Obsidian for me is mostly a daily journal plus a few pages that are like notes about cities I visited or my thoughts on the language learning apps I've experimented with.
Does stuff like this help anyone?

I still haven’t forgiven CGP Grey for changing the title to his 2017 ML video to “How AIs, like ChatGPT, learn”. The video is about genetic algorithms and has nothing to do with ChatGPT. (or with anything else in modern AI)
