For CO2 I'm satisfied with airthings sensor. Hard to say how accurate the readings are because I didn't compare it to anything, it self-calibrated for a week first. From random tests I can see it reacts properly in indoor/outdoor/open window/few people sitting in unventilated room/someone exercising/cooking scenarios. Integrates with HomeAssistant through their cloud and seems like it's being pooled for readings so it's not perfect but not why I bought it.

The main takeaway is that it takes more than I thought to keep indoor CO2 at bay, especially during winter when you have to deal with low temp/air pollution outside.

Somewhat un-guixy-but-easy way to get started in:

$ mkdir -p ~/profiles
$ guix package -p ~/profiles/developer -i gcc-toolchain gfortran-toolchain emacs
$ guix shell -p ~/profiles/developer --check
(env)$ cd yourproject # which has guix.scm inside
(env)$ emacs
(have emacs do "guix build -f guix.scm" in there from time to time)

This creates a new profile "developer" (you might want that to be more granular eventually, but whatever) with the 3 packages inside and then starts a shell inside that profile. You will have access to those inside that shell (only guarded by PATH etc), but you will ALSO have access to all the tools-outside-that-shell.

If you want to containerize, you can do that, too. Note that then you won't have any of the usual packages, including coreutils, available (no "ls" :) ):

(env)$ exit
$ guix shell -C -p ~/profiles/developer --check
(env)$ ls
sh: ls: command not found
(env)$ exit
$ guix package -p ~/profiles/developer -i coreutils
$ guix shell -C -p ~/profiles/developer --check
(env)$ ls

It works!

(env)$ guix
sh: guix: command not found

Well, that can't be good.

(env)$ exit
$ guix package -p ~/profiles/developer -i guix
$ guix shell -C -p ~/profiles/developer --check
(env)$ guix build -f guix.scm

It works!

Note that the "-C" automatically also exposes the current directory that "guix shell" saw when starting up to the container.
Our remote teams have this culture that you say is impossible. They're in their chats or voice calls all day communicating, and measurably crush the in-office teams' productivity, maybe due to the efficiencies gained by going async, or maybe due to the type of people (people who find interactions through text more meaningful than in person or verbal, and insist upon it)

The in office teams on the other hand seem to rely on synchronous work and so they block each other, and this seems to mean the group can only finish a small number of tasks per day, whereas our remote teams complete bigger work more frequently.

I also find a lot of our juniors or quieter folk are a lot more confident talking to people in the remote setting.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I think I might gonna read up a bit more on the topic, it’s quite interesting.

I think my personal stance is more on the idea that there is a lot we share as a species (from words, to symbols and human basics) and that could be grouped as common sense. But perhaps my grasp of english fails me here.

Looking at the etymology it also seemed to stem from “community” , what is common among a community. I would wager things were very common for his peers when Thomas Payne wrote his book “Common Sense” , a world to him that was largely very the same in style and substance.

Perhaps that concept simply can longer apply in a pluralistic global world or in a modern sense like you point out with your examples.

We didn't have rainmeter back when hard drives were used as boot drives. I have a pretty large set of windows performance monitor and HWInfo readouts running on all of my windows machines with modified versions of the simpleperfmeter and now rainformer skins.

No need to have uncontrolled diagnostic feedback when you can make it be exactly what you want in a much more rich/dense format. Clicking doesn't tell you much compared to time traces of read and write activity, drive temperature, and page fault rate.
Based on how they've spent years ignoring what moderators ask for to help manage communities; I'm sure they don't give a shit as long as they can cash out.
To add to this, the assumptions behind any use of statistics here are wild when applied to pyschology.

1. We assume that people have stable measurable independent properties f1(x1.., t), f2(x1.., t), ...

2. We assume these are modelled by a linear model, f1(t) = ax + b, etc.

3. We assume the parameters (a, b) of this model causally determine `f1` st. each corresponds to an independent cause of `f1`

4. We assume that we have some reliable measurement process, say m, which measures each property producing samples of that a,b: m(f1) = random samples of a,b

5. Then we assume that these samples are representative of the true values, ie., that mean(a samples) = a + random_error

The problem with the field is that (1 - 4) are false -- arguing about 5 is a little like arguing what time a broken clock should be set to.

Psychology gets a bad reputation because it is still new. Remember, Astrology turned into Astronomy, Alchemy became Chemistry, and Philosophy (old) became Math and Physics.

Psychology is still a newcomer, and study of the mind and the human animal is difficult because it is complex and hard to measure. That doesn’t mean you can’t start somewhere.
As an Eastern European - that's actually not true.

Any form of this comes from abusing the temporary work and contractor system(not exclusive to Eastern Europe, but here it's common).

But still - even as a pretend temp worker you normally don't get fired on the spot without notice because with the current demographic situation employers can't afford to do this and will usually include some form of notice in the contract to protect their interests.

Also illegal employment, especially in construction, is still very much a thing around here and I would think that, if anything, is a greater factor.

Easier to get ahead when you're cheating.

This isn't necessarily true.

Regulations that create exceptions for key big players entrench them further and their poor business practices against competitors that wish to usurp their market dominance. New entrants have to play by the rules, but established ones get preferential treatment.

A snapshot of current conditions is as follows:

After two centuries of decline, the area of US forestland stabilized in about 1920 and has since increased slightly. The forest area of the US is about two-thirds what it was in 1600.
The area consumed by wildfire each year has fallen 90 percent; it was between eight and twenty million hectares (20-50 million acres) in the early 1900s and is between one and two million hectares (2-5 million acres) today.
Forest growth nationally has exceeded harvest since the 1940s. By 1997 forest growth exceeded harvest by 42 percent and the volume of forest growth was 380 percent greater than it had been in 1920.

> The relationship between Reddit and it's community is very delicate, so it seems pretty silly for Reddit to decide to crash it into a wall shortly before their IPO. They might get the IPO pop they want - I doubt it, they're smashing the long term viability of the company.

I'm guessing someone looked at the data and figured that losing x% of users is worth it if they can extract an extra y% profit from the remaining users. We'll shortly see if they are right!

If I was in their position, I would just restrict 3rd party app access to Reddit gold subscribers. You would probably lose less users that way, and extract at least some money from them. You'd need to figure out some heuristic to detect when people are "abusing" their reddit gold to scrape all data. And also work with 3rd party developers to reduce the number of API calls they make rather than just being condescending dicks [0].

If they did all that, they could probably even milk it a bit, something like: "We heard the community and we are listening!".

> If the passkey is truly secure, you don’t get your key bak if you lose the passkey. If you make a copy of the passkey, the passkey purists will say it’s not “secure”.

That's an uncharitable interpretation. A more charitable way to say this is:

You can choose between secure/uncloneable and less secure but more flexible. Passkeys let you make the choice and don't dictate it for you. Choose whatever better suits your use case.

EDIT: I've written a short post to clarify a few misconceptions:

What kind of NOx and SOx readings do you get? (I assume the AirGradient sensors can measure that?). Do you think an activated charcoal filter is a worthwhile addition?
This isn't a guessing game, really. You have some prior knowledge of the expected effect size - that allows you to calculate the sample size required for your statistical test to have a certain power. That is an essential and very simple part of a good experimental design which, unfortunately, is very often ignored.
My experience has aligned with the person you're responding too. Often the best ideas came out of lunch conversations, slam diagramming on hallway white-boards....

I wish there was a succinct way to communicate this. Lots of people I know revere psychologists' word as end-all be all, beyond doubt. To question it makes them think I'm questioning physics.

There are good ideas in the field, to be sure. But on the other hand...
At my company, I recently joined a team that meets in the office once per week. I haven’t been to an office in years. It looks incredibly expensive, two floors in a very nice office building with every bell and whistle you can imagine. I saw maybe 30 people there total (including my once-a-week team). The rent plus the cost of operating the place… I can’t even guess how much money is being wasted. Shareholders would be pissed.
There are solar ETF's, green energy ETF's and battery ETF's.
There is no fixed size of samples that guarantees a result is statistically significant. How many samples are needed depends on the desired p-value among other things, which in turn depends on prior assumptions, and on the quantities being measured. "Typically accepted sizes" are nothing but cargo cult science.

That's precisely why psychologists take statistics classes as part of their education. I get that those aren't everyone's cup of tea, but people who don't even understand the basics have no business conducting and publishing studies. In fact, well-designed scientific studies typically start with a discussion of p-values, sample sizes, possible sources of biases, etc. If you don't see any mention of those in a study, you know you're looking at junk.

Currently the vast majority of hydrogen produced for industrial purposes is from natural gas, and the resulting CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere. Until that changes it's not a "green" fuel.
Most useful values frameworks have inherent tension in them.

I don't work at Amazon, but their LPs are well-published, so I'll use them as an example. "Bias for Action" is in tension with "Dive Deep" and "Insist on the Highest Standards". If Amazon takes an action that is quick but didn't dive as deep as literally possible or achieve the highest possible standard, have they violated two of their LPs, or did they just use judgment and prioritize bias for action over those other two?

> IMO you lose so much more by sacrificing spontaneous conversation & ideation that results.

People repeat this like a mantra when defending open floor plans (usually managers), but I very much doubt it. Most people seem to hate open floor plans. The subject seems to have gone by the wayside with the pandemic (then it was a question of finding a quiet place to work in a house shared with other people). I'm sure it varies by occupation, but the cost of distraction relative to whatever benefit you might gain from conversation is like investing money in the lottery. Yeah, you might win something, but you mostly won't and the cost will be enormous. I sense a bit of classic FOMO opportunism motivating such rationalizations.

The problem ultimately isn't about renewables vs. nuclear, it is that countries like Germany tore down their nuclear power plants and replaced them with coal power plants.

If we had just old right-wing men as the opponents, then there wouldn't be much of a problem at all. The real issue is that young left-wing men are just as stupid, and this part is completely unacknowledged.
That’s a bit of a strawman position. I don’t think anyone is claiming there should be absolute equality.

What they are saying is a particular group should not be scapegoated, particularly when that group is taken advantage of to subsidize the quality of life of those that are demonizing them.

It comes down to having a nuanced understanding of the issue and rejecting overly simplistic (and wrong) mental models.

Renewables haven't solved storage in any way. You need to solve for worst case - December, with barely any sun and barely any increase of wind.

You can produce 300% or even 3000% of need in the middle of day in June or July and it still does not mean pure renewable fantasy is feasible.

The Grand Vision of Mumbai Metro: What the Advanced Transit System Will Bring
Agree.

20+ years ago, it was considered good office manners to send an IM asking if someone if they were available before interrupting them with your physical presence.
Such a remote scenario also heavily favors "extroverts" and other such people that are happy to "hop on a meeting" with someone. The key is that it's not "hop on a meeting", that's easy for an extrovert, it's that you're interrupting someone and taking time out of their day, and you don't want to disturb etc etc. Introverts, "shy" and other such non-people people, will struggle with that and they'll have t re-learn working in a work environment.

You get people that are "selfish" in that regard (yes you get introverts like that too) and don't mind taking up someone else's time or interrupting them. WFH heavily favors those people, and no one is speaking up about this.
And it is just a repeat of diesel cars taking off in sales when BEVs where just getting started.

How much verification of content on social media have you seen over the past 8 years? Expect similar levels (i.e. close to 0) of verification.

The vast majority of people don't fact check anything they read online. The scary part about ChatGPT/AI is not the technology or accuracy, its the fact that there are so many people that will take its output at face value and others that will abuse that.
