Someone sensitive to this kind of thing may already perceive this comment as offensive (because it contains an arguably overreaching suggestion and a hint of disgust), which seems like a good explanation for the strong response.

Because I'm not directly emotionally involved I can make the following response:

> he should probably just own it if it is indeed him

Well, maybe, but consider that he may just not want to. That should be respected.

> listing virtual avatars as members is strange

Not at all, really. Publishing under a pseudonym is the norm rather than the exception online, so is having multiple of them. Multiple on the same project may be unusual, but so what. They can do whatever the hell they want.

I agree on your other points and believe that a clear "we will leave this question open and would like you to stop wondering about it" would go further towards the goal than what's currently happening.
It’s hard indeed but after what happened in other companies, I’d expect everyone in tech to be mindful about the layoff possibility. It’s been months of serial layoffs.

Personally, I wouldn’t feel surprised if I were to get laid off tomorrow.
Thank you for taking the time to reply! Genuinely appreciate it.
Apple is against open source marketplaces, they would fight tooth and nail that something like F-droid could never happen on iOS. They spread FUD on their conferences that open source hobbyist software is full security holes and people should be afraid to use those, the "device owners" are actually renters for them.
I think the sort of people who read books can probably cope. It sounds like the publishers are making allowances for the sort of people who don’t do much reading anyway.

I would think that people who spend a large part of their lives outside working a small farm/ranch after their day jobs would recognize a cloud if they saw one no matter the time of day.

I acknowledge that a cloud would block the view of everything behind it but in this case I'm pretty sure it wasn't a cloud.
> I'm not, and likely won't ever be, in the market for a gaming PC. I can't justify the purchase.

Coincidentally you are in the market every couple of years for new Apple hardware because of planned obsolescence. Why? Because Apple designs proprietary metal that they are unwilling / unable to support every few years because they instead develop new hardware that completely breaks backwards compatibility. Then release updates to sandbag your older hardware when you still refuse to upgrade.

I just think it's funny that you'll buy three highly proprietary Mac computers every three years but you won't buy one industry standardized PC that does it all and can be upgraded. And Apple banks on you doing that and takes you to the cleaners every chance they can. And you still bag on PC's citing the economical sensibility of Apple.
Yes, I assume in regions with an ideal climate, sugar cane crops average around 50 tonnes/acre or roughly 125 t/Ha. [Note ^1 - average over all in Brazil this year is 70.5t/Ha] Using this lower average, if the yield averages around 14 ccs (roughly 1/7 sugar) the 70.5 tonnes translates to about 10 tonnes of sugar. Going the ethanol route under ideal conditions would derive around half that weight as ethanol, but ethanol is relatively easy to handle as a fuel source since the petro industry already has much of the infrastructure in place, as well as letting older engines that don't have much use remain in service. (I suspect that older pre fuel injection engines would be fine with 80% ethanol, 20% water.) However since electric cars are now not the stuff of science fiction, it maybe makes more sense to investigate and use sugar to power a fuel cell instead.

They get HOW MUCH for that thing?!? And people pay that???
In the northeast / midwest / great lakes basin, mastodons definitely helped clear underbrush, from what I've read. Not sure how common they were through the eastern woodlands, but they were definitely here (and likely hunted to extinction). You can see plants that have historical adaptation to their form of browsing; black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) has spikes along its younger, more tender branches that don't effectively deter deer but would be nasty on a trunk, for example.

First nations here also did controlled burns to open cultivation for maize agriculture and to encourage open grazing areas for deer.

Regardless, the forests that are burning in this case causing smoke in the northeast are quite far north, in Northern Quebec mostly, in what is boreal forest; pine & spruce mainly, on thin granite soils (Canadian shield).
I appreciated it.

He doesn't go so far as to say "optimal," but Janan Ganesh recently made a similar point in the Financial Times:

Health policy aside, we clearly stimulated too much, but if you look at what the administration and lawmakers were saying back then they said things like "we'd rather err on the side of too much stimulus rather than too little," a sentiment that I think most people agreed with at the time, and, well, that's what we got.
Pretty much has to. Since everyone alive will eventually die, the way to minimize deaths is to prevent future life.
I’ve heard anecdotally that ghosting is a popular thing in Japan. For some cultural reason they are anxious to break up any sort of relationship and instead prefer to just disappear. Considering that companies are like families peppered with stress, not surprising.
> "Someone claims that someone else told him material exists that is from aliens."

I think I take your point: he doesn't have firsthand experience seeing the evidence.

That said, the quote "Someone claims that someone else told him material exists that is from aliens." doesn't by itself convey the significance of these other people being high ranking intelligence officials. A trained intelligence professional has much more analytical skill and credibility than a person randomly sampled from the U.S. population.

> The Debrief reported that Grusch’s knowledge of non-human materials and vehicles was based on “extensive interviews with high-level intelligence officials”. He said he had reported the existence of a UFO material “recovery program” to Congress.

> “Grusch said that the craft recovery operations are ongoing at various levels of activity and that he knows the specific individuals, current and former, who are involved,” the Debrief reported.

> In the Debrief article, Grusch does not say he has personally seen alien vehicles, nor does he say where they may be being stored. He asked the Debrief to withhold details of retaliation by government officials due to an ongoing investigation.

picking stuff from bins is a far stretch from a full assembly line production. Latest generation arms are surely being developed but the are far from fitting affordability profiles for the average American factory. It sounds great when you are reading it but fabrication is not like picking stuff from bins. The colossal amount of programming for every human task that is performed in a factory that builds compressors would be a dauntingly expensive enterprise even without counting the physical robotic equipement that would be needed. Theory and practice don't always correlate.
Support is a big part of what you get. Red Hat uses a similar model. You also get some niceties like state management/locking in the cloud.

I'd be paying but it's too expensive for what you get. Cost prohibitive for a small shop.
I use bing on my gaming PC not my work computer. I use it specifically for the rewards which I redeem for a an occasional Game Pass month.

I do use edge for my work. It has a few key features that I quite like:

- a very nice inbuilt vertical tab implementation for support for auto-suspending tabs with exclusion rules.
- uBlock Origin Support (at least for a while longer, I’ll re-evaluate if things change).
- Familiar dev tools
- no google tracking built-in. I know I’m trading this for a Microsoft tracking but I trust Microsoft more than google nowadays. All my companies stuff is tied into Office365/Active Directory anyways so it’s not like I can avoid it.
The percentage of people who use a third party app to read reddit is likely relatively small. They're also the most likely to be invested in the platform. Why make these users angry? Why even take the risk that some of your users might leave for another platform?

If the issue is displaying ads or gathering analytics you can deal with both of those without cutting off third party apps. If you are concerned that others are building big data tools or bots off your free API you can also just grandfather the existing popular clients as free or with a very large discount.

For that matter you can also just set different price tiers for API clients that are used interactively by real people to interact with subreddits vs anyone else.

The social media game is all about network effects. Putting up barriers to making reddit a core service is only a bad thing. What positive gain is reddit expecting from killing third party clients here? As I said ads and analytics can be handled by the license agreement. You can even require them to link a library you provide that does the ad displays and analytics by pulling code from your servers so if you really must have deep control of that experience you can.

> Making a cargo.toml is simple and frankly you don’t do it so often as to be a burden.

But is it so simple that it can be done often without having to go back to the docs and look up something, then making sure everything in the crate makes the build system happy? We get better at doing things the more often we do them, of course, so there's some inflection point where "often enough to remember how to do it" and "simple enough to be able to recall" cross.

With Go, making a new module is just creating a new directory, something programmers have done countless times, and requires no cooperation from the build tool. The only requirement is that files in directory have the same package declaration.
A friend of mine that works with crypto gaming companies frequently expresses frustration that every game they see is gambling, slightly disguised gambling, or terrible.
This is a seriously misinformed comment.

Total fire suppression dates to the early 20th century, not the 1960s. It was driven largely by the forest / wood products industry, not environmentalists. Formal adoption of "the 10 am rule" (all fires must be suppressed by 10 am the following morning) was in 1935. Formal adoption of prescribed burns by the USFS was in 1978.

<https://web.archive.org/web/20070810191055/http://www.nifc.g...>

California has had numerous controlled-burn projects for decades. They are limited in scope, and opposed, usually by local residents and businesses, for ... somewhat understandable reasons, though in the long run more-frequent controlled burns are better than the megafires of the past few decades.

Genocide of the indigenous North American population, especially in California, was transacted first by Spanish and Mexican missionaries, then by Americans, both private citizens and government agents (mostly military), and was largely completed by 1873.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_genocide>

The US Forest Service was not organised until 1905. Its antecedents date only as far back as 1875, after the dates given above for the California genocide.

Yes, controlled burns would help with some of California's wildfire issues, but evidence from elsewhere, including Canada and Siberia in which total fire suppression was never policy or effectively achieve, recent history suggests that megafires are not strictly dependent on overgrowth and fuel accumulation. Regions of California such as Santa Barbara experience recurring fires over the same terrain at intervals of a decade or two, suggesting that even short-term fuel-load accumulation is sufficient to give rise to huge and uncontrollable fires which intrude well into the urban region, and are not limited to remote bush or the urban-wildland interface. See particularly the 2017 Tubbs Fire which obliterated a Santa Rosa neighbourhood, and Thomas Fire, also 2017, which reached downtown Ventura.

> Deaths attributed to malnutrition more than doubled, from about 650 in 2018 to roughly 1,400 in 2022, according to preliminary death certificate data from the California Department of Public Health. The same trend occurred nationwide, with malnutrition deaths more than doubling, from about 9,300 deaths in 2018 to roughly 20,500 in 2022, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

> Malnutrition is particularly common among older people, especially those who are ill, low-income, homebound, or without reliable access to healthy food or medical services. It can result from not eating enough but also from poor eating habits that lead to nutritional deficiencies. The majority of deaths in California from malnutrition last year occurred in residents 85 and older.
I think there's a terminology problem with this article. "The best thinkers" isn't well-defined, but if you're thinking of Einstein or Feynman or people like that, they're marked by a clarity of vision and the ability to ask the right question. They're not entrepreneurs or driven individuals outside their self-chosen scientific fields. They're curious, they want to know more and they know what is known and not known. Feynman's "what is inertia" story about his father. Einstein's "what do you see when you ride a beam of light?".

And keep in mind one of the most significant indications of what Einstein was able to do was his four 1905 papers, followed by general relativity in 1915. If you want to define "thinker", doing a set of publications that were good enough for the Nobel in Physics as individual papers rather than as a multi-decade set. Hell, they didn't even mention Relativity in his citation!

Gleick's biography of Feynman included the story that he could "climb Mount Blanc barefoot" in his discussion of genius. Feynman was inefficient, as he ignored the literature so as to figure things out himself. Yet he was able to see a visual solution to QCD that Dyson showed was the same as the wall of mathematics of Schwinger and Tomonaga. He avoided the trappings of academia, and didn't even raise many grad students or postdocs. He wanted to do physics and he wanted to convey this to others.

If "great thinkers" make large constructions, start businesses or change industrial or technical processes, people like Einstein and Feynman weren't in consideration. Such activities would bore them, probably quite quickly. They wanted to know why. Physicists could not always follow their trains of thought. They were fortunate to be active when great discoveries were being made and they lived long enough to create and disseminate information.
Julian Assange suffered a worse fate for doing much less and nothing illegal. The 'crime' of both was revealing information inconvenient to the powerful. The powerful had their MSM focus on the messenger rather than the message and smear them any way they could.

Most of my commercial transactions are still in fiat. I do use crypto when I can, and yes it's done straight from a local wallet. I use an android app called Cake Wallet and the private key stays locally on the device. I keep as much on my phone as I would paper cash in a leather wallet, under $100. The rest is on a hardware wallet.

I use an exchange occasionally, but I don't keep money parked there long-term like a bank. Deposit fiat, trade for crypto, withdraw crypto. I'm never exposed for more than an hour.

Well, we don't need to get into details, but most pro-union folks I know don't consider police unions to be workers' unions. Either way, as I said, it's not an intrinsic property of unions. It's that way because police unions exist to hold the public hostage, not because unions are bad.
As for the browser alternatives I can use on my work machine are

- Chrome (I’m already being tracked by Microsoft through my office365/Active Directory everywhere, might as well not give it all to google too).
- Safari I might consider trying this again starting in the next MacOS version once PWA support lands. Right now I avoid having to install multiple Electron apps with the PWA support.
- Firefox I’ve been off and on with. If uBlock origin support is finally gutted from chromium I’ll switch to this again, but I find the Firefox dev tools inferior and I quite dislike their interface in recent iterations.

Well, let me tell you the difference between those protests and this one - Reddit had nothing to lose by giving in to those demands, only something to gain from better PR.

They have everything to lose by giving into demands here, losing out on corpos paying bank to have access to all their data. They gained nothing from allowing third party apps, they just serve their content with the ads stripped (thus only lose revenue). While I do pity them, they should have expected this to happen at some point.

There is one giant issue with Rust crates vs modules, and it's not "crates are harder to make."

The real problem is that you can't use crates to improve incrementalism when you have a type in one logical part of the module hierarchy implement a trait from another logical part. Due to orphan rules and coherence, it is not possible to implement a foreign trait for a foreign type.

And that said, just because the compilation unit is a crate doesn't mean it can't be compiled incrementally or with parallelism. That's a separate problem.

My gut instinct is to agree. I also feel the same about the fossil fuel industry for the most part.

I am curious which one of those two death wishes would lead to more negative economic impact in the short term.

Based on my ignorant googling of relative values, I think erasing the fossil fuel industry would be much less devastating to investors in general, correct?
I actually completely agree with this, but I didn't bring that up specifically because, as an autistic person with ADHD, I have gotten pretty poor responses in the past from saying my needs should be considered by UI/UX designers. There's not a lot of public will to consider autism and ADHD to be "real" disabilities and I'd love to see that change.
