Per capita is such a messy measurement. China manufactures goods for the entire world. The United States grows food for the entire world. The people in each country aren't simply driving the emissions and enjoying the fruits of it.

uBlock Origin doesn't work on mobile Chrome. I don't understand this perspective. At the very least you would want to use an alternative Chromium browser on Android, even if you weren't willing to install Firefox. You're upset about not being able to run every extension and so you're running none of them?

Look, I will absolutely criticize Mozilla for some of its policies. Pretty much every issue you've raised there is spot-on, in fact I'll go a step further and remind everyone that Pocket was kind of supposed to be Open Source by now, and it still isn't.

But it's cutting off your nose to spite your face to use Chrome. Google is less receptive to criticism than Mozilla is, has worse extension APIs and is more restrictive of how extensions get installed, has worse privacy features, allows for no extensions on phones, is more directly tied into an advertising network, and is actively trying to make the web worse.

Use Firefox.

I am not telling you to be complacent or to ignore Mozilla's problems, I am telling you not to lend support to the browser that is actively trying to make the web worse. We're all very happy for you that you're very principled about not just picking the better of two bad options. We're happy that you have those standards. But we're less thrilled about your policy of picking the worst of two bad options. At the very heckin least you're not even going to use a Chromium fork? You're just going to make the worst browser choice you can make for the Open web?
When it uses computers, networking protocols, the internet, etc. then it is a technology. The scale by which these virtual town squares can grow is something that sets them apart from real town squares. In a real town square people have to contend with societal views of what is socially acceptable. This provides a needed moderating influence. In a real town square one can’t be too inflammatory without fear of being attacked.
> hiking backpacks

Outdoor-themed Veblen goods are the new hotness for certain segments of the upper middle class. Yesterday I saw a guy with a haulbag... themed?... backpack that had a laptop sleeve and couldn't help but giggle. Remote work is great but taking a conference call from Big Sandy seems a bit silly, lol.

(At least it's only $99 which actually isn't bad at all for a quality backpack, but still.)
Firefox may not be _as_ fast as Chrome, but it's a fairly negligible difference nowadays. rendering speed hasn't been a limiting factor for a while, and i feel like network latency and poor application optimization has been more the culprit there. you can only squeeze so much blood from the optimizing inefficient JS stone, and no amount of rendering engine optimization will ever fix shitty backend API response times

Firefox fails because there is no actual industry pressure to build a better browser. you simply can't sell a browser alone anymore: the free offerings have been good enough since the early 2000s.

Safari only needs to be good enough for iOS users to not abandon the platform entirely, and the ecosystem wants to push you into native apps anyway (Apple wants their IAP cut).

Chredge is, well, _there_, but basically just a minimum batteries included that maybe funnels some set of users into other Microsoft offerings, but it isn't the core product.

Chrome is, well, Chrome.

Firefox is comfortably supported by Google funding as an antitrust action shield. there's no real pressure for them to try and beat Chrome in market share because they're explicitly paid to be minority market share, and aren't really going to lose that share because they already have all of the "intentionally don't want to use Chrome" market. Mozilla faffs about making also-ran internet services (idk, whatever the heck that VPN offering was, etc.) because they fundamentally can't lose their main revenue stream so long as Google wants to avoid antitrust action, and have no real pressure to offer a competitive product.

What do you mean to suggest by "industrial revolution starter and all that"? I would not expect emissions at the very beginning of the industrial revolution to hold a candle to peak industrialization. Being the first to industrialize seems entirely irrelevant.

It’s entirely possible to do this digitally and have it working seamlessly.

In Denmark we have a thing called “MitID” (MyID) which is basically a government login and which you can use to sign and also login to all kinds of things that need to confirm your identity (e.g. Phone subscription, taxes, 3DS verification for Credit Card transactions, etc).

It’s essentially 2FA, works by the site sending a confirmation to an app on your phone that is behind PIN code. The analog version is a paper slip with 100 lookup codes.

This kind of thing, studying the history of a complex system in order to try to derive generalizable conclusions about large, complex systems in general, seems to me to be such a fool’s errand. Much better to study it in all the richness and complexity of its historical context to understand how it, specifically, came about, not to try to predict how future complex systems will evolve.
Actually the planet doesn't care about anything, including emissions. Humans do.

You’re not entirely wrong, although I don’t personally know of anyone who would use Notion for any kind of serious document authoring. Notion isn’t terribly original, it’s quite opinionated, and it’s hardly a panacea of productivity—but it manages to find an acceptable middle ground in several key software categories in a way that its competitors never have that, when combined effectively, add up to something more than the sum of its parts. For a lot of people who have been longing for such a product, it can feel special even if there’s not anything particularly special about any one thing it does.

I think the thing that Notion managed to do that truly sets it apart from Office, as well as a lot of its note-taking/productivity app peers, is to make a very simple and intuitive method for anyone at any skill level to create and utilize a “relational database” (I realize there are oceans of meaningful distinctions between Notion’s databases and proper ones). For me, Notion became something of a phenomenon because after years of getting excited about things like Evernote and Asana (or anything in Google Docs) only to be sorely disappointed to find that all of them could do a lot of general things fairly well, not one of them could adapt to my specific workflow in a way that made them essential. Notion’s paradigm of combining Airtable’s customizable database-lite functionality with Evernote’s note-taking/knowledge gathering wasn’t the most original recipe, but they executed it pretty well, and maintain a good pace of improvement, and it’s become the only note/task/productivity app that I have ever used consistently enough to experience value from it.

I started using it during their initial public beta, and my workspace currently has over half a million blocks of information inside, with some of my early original databases for things like contacts serving continuously to this day. As a freelance IT consultant, Notion’s functionality along with years of my data makes it easily the most useful and powerful application I use today. I’m sure that probably sounds horrifying to many of HN’s users, and I 100% understand and share the concerns. I have tried dozens of alternatives, from Access to more direct OSS clones like Focalboard, and even a few attempts to roll-my-own using traditional relational databases and a variety of frontends, but none of these have come close to meeting my needs with the ease and efficacy that Notion does, and does well.

All that said, there does seem to be an over-abundance of hype surrounding it in the last year or two, and it’s certainly got plenty of problem areas that are ripe for legitimate criticism (cross-compatibility/vendor lock-in, lack of data backups, questionable data security, performance issues, bloat, monumental feature creep, etc., etc.).
Random interesting tidbit: Kuwait's emissions peaked in 1991... at 367.93t per person.

(There's a reason it got that high, and it actually isn't even Kuwait's fault: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwaiti_oil_fires).
Let's rephrase that...

"That is because without Web Integrity, there is no guarantee that the site requested is being delivered as the site intends. For example, a browser extension could remove ads or modify content on the page."

See where this slippery slope is heading? We DO NOT want what "the site intends". We want to be in control of the content we consume.
DietPi creates a RAM disk for storing logs to reduce SD card writes.
Just from eyeballing the dates on the chart, I’m guessing a lot of those extra emissions are due to the oil industry and the long history of production within the United States. The US was the number one producer for a while, never really fell that far behind Russia or Saudi Arabia, and became (and I believe is still) the top producer again.
The politicians will probably only care when they themselves become the victims.
OpenBSD isn't materially more secure than Linux, these days.

They've shipped several RCEs over the years, in software included in base, but because the software is not enabled by default they don't update their security slogan.

It gives the impression of an OS that is free of vulns which is not true. The "default install" is not useful for much as IIRC it only has ssh enabled which means their claim of only two remote holes in $time_period is really just a claim against their TCP/IP stack and OpenSSH, not the entire OS.

It's deliberately misleading.
Google has almost become a government, and one that we didn't explicitly vote for.
Per capita consumption would likely be a better measurement? Obviously much harder to measure.
Interconnection queues are overloaded. But most of all:

> There is a reason we spend a lot of money on transmission

This should be in the past tense. Transmission was the only option, because generation needed to be centralized to be anywhere near cost effective. And transmission is suuuuuper expensive, by far the biggest part of my solar bill.

Further, it's used ineffectively, often with capacity factors far below 30% because it's sized for peak, not for average use.

As the cost of generation gets lower and lower, the cost of transmission and distribution becomes an ever higher fraction of power costs, and the next thing to minimize.

Big transmission across the continent makes the most sense. But it's also the hardest to build. We are likely stuck repowering existing transmission to higher capactities.

Sure, we will need a lot more transmission capacity, but the less we can get away with will probably lower costs.

(And transmission is only geographic arbitrage, we will soon have time arbitrage with batteries that will rival nearly all transmission costs. Transition is not getting cheaper, but storage solar and wind are.)

I dont use it but I suppose the benefits are the same as anything else in the cloud. Your dev environment is totally decoupled from your machine. You can access it from anywhere. That's a real benefit.
I expect they want a judgement for a specific damage, then when they can’t collect they have insurance to cover that specific amount. Without a judgement for an amount, their insurance would pay out a lesser amount.

> Thankfully the exploit is highly dependent on a specific asm routine so exploiting it from JS or WASM in a browser should be extremely difficult.

I assume that once/if a method is found it will be applicable broadly though. At the same time, hopefully software patches in V8 and SpiderMonkey will be able to mitigate this further and sooner.

But a JS exploit would require some way to exfiltrate data and presumably doing that would be quite difficult to hide entirely.

> but the default configuration on many ISP-supplied routers has no firewalling beyond what NAT offers

Repeat after me: NAT does not provide firewalling in any way.

What you think as 'firewalling' is just inability to route packets to your LAN[0] for someone further than your immediate gateway and this is true only until you have no active inbound NAT sessions.

If for some reason there is a session what allows anyone to contact the machine on your LAN (ie Full Cone NAT) then... anyone can contact your machine behind the NAT. I'm not sure there any router or appliance what would do that automatically anymore (because by default outbound session would create a thing called Address and Port Restricted NAT in TFA) but it's quite easy to do this by misconfiguration or some automatic mechanism, like UPnP.

If the problem is in the 'default configuration of many ISP-supplied routers' then you really should address that and not treat NAT as a firewall.

And last, but not least: every modern OS comes with a built-in firewall. Even Windows' one is pretty decent to block anything not explicitly allowed. There is no network scanning in IPv6, it's pointless or requires to sit on the wire to listen for NDP - and at this point NAT wouldn't help, too.

[0] or sometimes the packets are routed pretty fine in, it's just the absence of the state and/or proper rules what forbids the answer to be routed back. If you ever needed to troubleshoot an assymetric NAT you would know this.

ADD: this should had been a reply for your further comment, of course, but I leave it here.
Haha, looks like I’m going bankrupt a few years after retirement :(

Or I hope it’s just a bug… the cash flow chart lists “House” with something that looks like my mortgage amount. But then, it also lists mortgage payment separately. Is it double counting it?

Fair enough; it may just be how it looks from my vantage point as a non-Israeli. I should also have said "major voice" instead of "leading figure" but that might also be wrong.

>Gamifying reputation was one of the worst things

Agreed and I don't know this for sure but the points lust, it seems to me, is not limited to questioners and answers, some of the behaviour I've seen from mods seems to be driven by that too.

Just to repeat, I don't know that because I don't know what gets you points but the behaviour is hard to understand otherwise.

I had a question where I had finished with a one word sentence "Thanks." . A mod had removed that part of the question, when I looked at their record they had an awful lot of edits which consisted of similar, tiny, non-substantive changes. It did make me wonder about their motivation.

Anyway, yes, imho gamification not a good idea.
