> According to my father, until around the time he was doing Geology at university (late 1960s), the consensus was that these kinds of events (and mass wasting more generally) were geologic processes that no longer happened (and hadn't really happened throughout the Holocene). I don't know the history in detail there, but it does seem true that only relatively recently we've had a real appreciation for how active Earth's geology still is.

I can’t fathom how we could think that, surely as long as plates move around and stone weathers this sort of geological events can happen?

They’re certainly not common on historical timescales, so the odds you’d find yourself sharing time (let alone space) with one are low, but what would have made them stop?
Re: the adjustable rate mortgages, my neighbor also didn't refinance her (US) ARM to fixed-rate. I talked to her about it when rates were really low, we got quotes for 2.9%, but she didn't want to pay the $3K finance charge (that would have been bundled into the loan).

The rate went up once last year, then this year they were going to raise it again and she had an interest-only provision for 10 years that expired this year, so she was going to have to start making principle payments too. Her plan is to make interest-only payments until she dies, then sell the house and pay off the mortgage.

On the 2nd rate increase, we talked to the mortgage company on the phone and they said they couldn't do anything about the principle payments other than refinance the loan, and they no longer offer interest-only loans. So I wrote them a letter, included her most recent tax assessment and property valuation, and told them that if she couldn't keep making interest-only payments, she was going to pay off the loan. So far that has worked: they didn't do the 2nd rate increase or start principle repayment.

So if you still have an ARM and are getting strong-armed by the mortgage company, you might try threatening to pay off the loan, in writing. A mortgage company would rather get continuing, smaller interest payments vs no future interest.

No it’s bullshit, I’m not sure what your point is about “jumping around” or aridification because those aren’t the only effects or causes of high temperatures and regardless the point is that this data is not even a century old so claiming some point in it is “likely the highest in centuries” is facetious statistics.

Uncharted Territory only if you start your charts in the mid 19th century, at the end of the Little Ice Age. If you look at the full history, the Medieval Warm Period[0] was hotter than our current forecasts, and things got better. It ushered in global golden age for man.

Go back further and you can also include the Roman Warm Period, and the Late Bronze Warm Period. It's cyclical glacial/inter-glacial periods. Right now, we are in an inter-glacial period of an ice age. Overall, I'm enjoying the temperate weather, the longer growing seasons, and global-greening.

I guess the faux "creatives" will have to actually be creative now. If the content these humans created was so much better than what's generated by AI there wouldn't be any competition.

In this same comment section we see the denial.

"The content it generates is trash" and "We can't distinguish the content generated by AI vs content generated by humans."

I think that tells us all we need to know. Instead of fighting the tide, rise with it.

I agree for the most part, but the only thing that keeps me wholesale from this is the idea that all social media posts are US citizens.

What if, and I'm not suggesting it is, 100% of the posts in question where from foreign actors looking to disrupt the US? Is the government in no way allowed to step in? Is that even censorship?
What does that have to do with water treatment?
The entire field of "Economics" was created as a way for the wealthy elite to justify / rationalize their capitalist oppression of the working class, so it should come as no surprise that a publication that serves a mouthpiece for the wealthy elites and that is named after a field that was created to serve the wealthy elites espouses ideas that solely benefit the wealthy elite.

Anytime rich people say something is bad, one can generally assume that by bad they mean only for them and their entrenched wealth and power and so therefore is good for the rest of us.

Django is fantastic. It's much bigger than flask, and has one of the best ORMs I've ever used. Also comes with a built in admin panel which is always nice. You will want to use Django REST Framework to make REST APIs, but if getting a site up and running is all you want, it's perfect.

If you want to purely make APIs though, give FastAPI a try.

> PS Scaler Pro is $1.5 / GB, which is quite a lot. General purpose storage in AWS is only $0.115.

GP storage is pretty slow (relatively). I hope PS isn't giving us that out of the box and does provision more IOPs etc.

AWS bills for absolutely everything as PS mentioned in the article. This can include temporary files and what not that can take up a large chunk of your storage.

> because it doesn't specify the exact instance type used on the AWS side

That in a way is problematic because CPU generations matter and even if PS is using the "best" currently, how do we know if they'd keep up? Prices could swing the other way quite easily.
The third comment on the article is a great example of how this is widely misunderstood today:

>>> Only dumb people would write <div/> and expect it to be open. Don't change the language to accomodate people who can't understand basic syntax.

>> But it would be open. Is it a good language design if "only dumb people" get it right?

> I actually didn't know that <div/> is open, and can't believe this is so. So no, HTML is not a good language if this is possible. This makes the definition of open and closed tags meaningless.
Worth noting that this is a something of a misrepresentation of Flaherty's email[0] by the judge. Flaherty said

> All, especially given the Journal's reporting on your internal work on political violence spurred by Facebook groups, I am also curious about the new rules as part of the "overhaul."

Referring to this[1] WSJ article that details explicit calls to violence on FB. He then specifically quotes part of FB's response in his question

> I am seeing that you will no longer promote civic and health related groups, but I am wondering if the reforms here extend further?

So Flaherty was absolutely not accusing Facebook "of causing 'political violence' by failing to censor false COVID-19 claims", he was accusing FB of hosting actual calls to violence.

I don't disagree, there isn't exactly a test for abstract terms of bedlam and madness. So to whatever degree it already exists, AI will accelerate that an order of magnitude. It is the perfect tool to continue out the self destruction from our attention addiction.
Right, and that’s Tesler’s law restated. You’re really just shifting complexity and not reducing it.

Where it makes sense is from a sociocultural perspective. Under Taylorist management philosophy, management is to do the thinking, and workers are to do the doing. Structuring a project where managers take on the exploratory phase fits well within the set of assumptions taught in project management programs.

Companies exist and are allowed to operate only because the people (voters who vote for the government, who in turn issue business licenses and corporate charters) allow them to. It's about time that the people wake up and remember they permit companies to operate, and they can and should revoke that permission if the company is serving only itself and it's shareholders.

> Detroit was the wealthiest city in the US in 1950, with the highest per capita GDP in the country. Over the course of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the UAW union took over, with membership eventually peaking in 1978.

> What followed was industrial collapse, and eventually, Detroit becoming a ghost town.

East Michigan was wealthy in the 1950s, and the unionized workers like Larry Page's grandfather sent their children off to college.

Textile mills in the Carolinas had virtually no unionization.

Yes, manufacturing employment is down from Michigan's heyday. What about the textile plants from North Carolina's heyday? They closed down too. They never unionized, so what caused that to happen?

The difference is the Michigan factory worker entered the middle class, and owned a home, two cars and sent his kids off to college. The North Carolina textile worker's children did not get this education, and when the textile mills closed had no such luck.
Even then, “hundreds of years,” is not the hottest day in earth.
In legal systems with some basis in English Common Law the idea of an implied contract is fairly common.

Lets I buy some service from you and we sign some one-off contract. The next year I text you ‘same again please’ - you provide the same service to me. A reasonable person would conclude that there is an implied contact to provide the services under the terms perviously agreed. I can’t argue that I don’t have to pay because we didn’t sign a new set of terms.

Or you give me a quote and terms to build a house. If I let you start building it for me (and you can prove that I gave that instruction) there is an implied contract based the proposed terms even if we don’t sign any paperwork.

In the judgement here it seems to be a simpler assertion that the thumbs up in the context of asking about previously sent terms constitutes acceptance.
Incidents happen, that's life. You can hedge your bets, but some things are out of your control. Communicating with your customers however is entirely within your control. Fastmail did a poor job of it. Their status page was useless beyond an initial "we found an issue" and then nothing for almost 11hrs. Their Twitter account was the same story, didn't bother with the Mastodon account at all. Unfortunately they don't seem to realise or recognise that they dropped the ball on this and that goes entirely unaddressed.

I'm also not really charmed with how they try to minimise the importance of the incident by repeating it only affected 3-5% of the customers. That might very well be. But those are real people and real businesses that rely on your services that were unavailable for the whole of the EU workday and a significant part of the US workday. Everyone I know who was affected is a paying customer, none of us have received so much as a communication or apology for it.

For a company that's been on the internet since 1999, the single-homed setup is a little shocking. But fine, it's being addressed. But both the communication during and after the incident don't inspire a ton of confidence.
Like everyone else, they have to decide what they support – their core product pretty heavily depends on known file system semantics – and they gave advanced notice specifically so you didn’t have to “drop everything” if you for some reason cannot have a partition using a supported file system.

Put another way, do you think the combined users of file systems which aren’t supported ext4, xfs, btrfs, or zfs are willing to pay more or would quietly accept the possibility of data loss? I doubt the former is true and have absolute certainty that if there was a bug using an unsupported file system that would result in angry, hyperbolic blog posts saying Dropbox is unsafe and will lose your data.
> 1440p monitors can be referred to as 2k monitors and I did clarify the resolution.

I did not put forth a worst case scenario. I put forth an example of doing proper comparison.

Based on a figure I just saw from someone else describing their setup (1.75 COP at 5 deg F), and taking into account transmission losses etc, the worst case would seem to be significantly less efficient than burning natural gas directly in a condensing furnace.

This isn't meant as some sort of knock against heat pumps! In fact I'm tentatively planning to add a heat pump to my own home within the next several years. Focusing on a worst case is still not an overall comparison of performance, but rather just one data point in the evaluation of a given design.

Multiplying the cost of the energy source by the nameplate efficiency is indeed another sensible way of comparing across technologies. But that isn't what you did in your original comment, where you juxtaposed two different types of efficiency numbers. That was my only point in my original comment.
It is crazy to me how much our modern ideas on food and clothing are more modern than we realize. Always fun to point out that places that have what we call "spicy" food got there by import.

Even bread, I suspect, is probably a lot different than we realize. There is a wide range in what that can cover, with many of the types of bread that last longer being popular for their longevity in older times.

And that doesn't even get into the drastic shift in diet that came from rationing times. There are a lot of parts of the animal that we used to directly eat.
Ok, but quotes tend to imply something literal, or nearly-literal, and it's not something I said, nor did I imply it, at least not intentionally.

I've personally always hated when certain groups are "not allowed" to have an opinion on given topics, for whatever reason, and I have pretty actively said as much when people have told others to "sit down and shut up", so in your particular case you're responding to a straw man and assigning attributes to me that are not true.

EDIT:

You edited your response after the fact and didn't disclose that. I'm responding to your edits now.

> You didn’t explicitly say that because you know your own behavior is inappropriate — and pretend to condemn it in other contexts.

Do I know my own behavior is inappropriate? What behavior is that exactly?

> But Democrats are commonly hypocritical — eg, claiming to protect minority rights while being frothing mad they’re told they can’t use 1950s arguments about “too many Asians and Jews” to engage in systemic racism at universities.

I have very mixed feelings in regards to the way that universities do their recruiting, and even in regards to the recent supreme court decision. Again, you're assigning labels to me that don't really apply. I tend to vote left, so I guess it's fair to lump me in with Democrats in a consequentialist sense.
That one always baffles me.
The problem with using government to break up companies is regulatory capture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture). Companies have the interest and resources to influence the very government agencies that are meant to regulate them. They use these influences to steer the regulatory environment to prevent newcomers in the industry.

I don't want to talk you out of opposition to the Democratic party or to vilification of ANYONE, including the wealthy. But I DO have a perspective you might be missing:

You write:
> As someone who [...] worked their ass off to become a 1%er [...] I worked and studied when my classmates or coworkers were partying, made good choices, and now I enjoy a nice life because of it.

I, like you, work fairly hard and have become quite well-compensated. What I'd like to point out is that there are probably two categories of folks who are NOT "1%ers". There are those who were "partying" and making poor choices and therefore have a lower income. But there are also those who worked VERY hard but never had the opportunity to be rewarded for that work.

It is easy for me to feel entitled about my distinguished-software-engineer-level income if I think only of the first group, but if I compare myself to the second group I have to remember that many of them never had the chance to go to college, never had the opportunities I had and aren't in any way "undeserving". You probably already know everything I am saying here, but I wanted to share that this perspective is one I keep in mind when making statements so I don't come out sounding unreasonably entitled.
I just reached agreement to rent a house in the Netherlands and the agent was at pains to impress upon us that verbal agreements are binding and if you apply for a rental you are effectively bound to take it unless the landlord says no (or you retract your offer). Frustrating system, it puts a lot of power in the landlord's hands and lets them screw around and collect offers while you're limited to offering on one place at a time.
The only part of the daily rituals I like are seeing the people I work with face to face (in zoom). It builds good working relationships and trust!

I don't like verbalizing the work round-robin style, feels like a bit of a waste of time when we could just Slack it.
> So funny, did you miss the columbian journalism review destroying legacy media including the nytimes for partisan reporting?

Ooh, whataboutism.

If we were talking about the NYTimes, I'd have plenty to say about the specific factional bias of that outlet, which, yes, its just as intense as the WSJ’s. If the 1990’s neoliberal consensus (today, pretty much the dominant, though decreasingly so over the last decade, centrist corporate capitalist wing of the Democratic Party) was embodied in a newspaper, it would be the New York Times.

Doesn’t change anything about the WSJ.

Cleaning up? With what?

We've barely figured out how to even detect a tiny portion of PFAS, and even then can't quantify it, we don't have any way of removing PFAS specifically, the best general purpose technology we have is reverse osmosis which is not economical. If it's in the ground water it will be in the drinking water.

What we need to do (as in the human race because this stuff just propagates around the globe), is to stop manufacturing them, immediately, because this stuff accumulates. The mentality of "shoot and ask questions later" in the name of industry, technological progress and "my wallet" needs to stop. Prevention is the answer, not more technology to fix a technology that should have already have been deprecated over a decade ago - and to be clear i mean all PFAS, until individual formulas can be proven ecologically and biologically safe.

To prevent history from repeating itself new chemicals beyond the thousands of PFAS should go through ecological and biological testing before allowing them to be manufactured at scale and released into the environment. In the same way we test products for human consumption, we need to learn that the environment is an extension of us, and if we disregard it, it will come back to bite us.
I don't see the benefit in that everyone get off. Especially since that is not possible in a lot of cases.
