I agree with the gist of your argument, but I wouldn't phrase it as "totally solvable". Limiting it to 2 degrees is possible, limiting it to 3 is likely. Both are bad, both are locally catastrophic but neither are globally catastrophic.

I like my phrasing "millions will die". That works on numerate people, but most people can't really conceptualize the difference between a million and a billion. Any other suggestions?
Shortage of Labours at the desired salary of the hiring company, cue "Nobody wants to work anymore! (at $10 /hour)"
No. The decision of any individual consumer will always be millions of times less impactful than the decisions of the leaders in these organizations. They should be held to account - not the individual buying what they need to get through life.
I wonder if companies like VanMoof just had a very small window there where they were compelling.

I think when the VanMoof came out it was sleek and easy to use in a field of much more clunky eBikes. Now, if you want something that looks good on the road and is easy to operate, you have a lot of options, including ones from familiar bike manufacturers.

Suddenly VanMoof no longer had such a differentiating factor compared to everyone else.

Yeh I thought Terraform might not have been a direct target of the BSL license change (vault/consul etc are bigger fish) but this makes it clear this is not the case.
Overall I think this is related to a personal choice to consume or create. Of course with DVDs/streaming or social media, a lot of it is naturally going to be consumption no matter what. But the medium kind of steers you towards one or the other. Social media seemed like a way for you to express yourself, to create and share, but the algorithms nudged everyone into endless consumption scrolling. Creativity is only rewarded if it helps the money-making machines.

I don't want to push a value judgement upon creativity vs consumption, but I do think people should take it upon themselves to look critically at their own values, and what they want to spend their life doing - particularly how much of a balance they want between bringing something into this world vs. taking what they can get from it.

In creative pursuits, you want to "go" to the stuff that will be a tool or enabler of what you aspire to do. (And sure, you'll want some inspiration to "come to you".) You have to decide for yourself if you value "the machine" bringing everything to you more than you might value some individual pursuit.
Chained microservices exacerbate this and people give you blank looks when you say it. Then you have to draw a picture because if that gets blanks then they have no idea what the Central Limit Theorem is.
For sure don't enable. For many reasons but primarily because doing do grants the authorities the right to unlock your phone.
Respectfully, this seems like moving the goal posts.

Energy companies and governments are best positioned to hedge against future consequences of burning oil. It's exactly because we depend on them for a certain standard of living that they can shepherd change, but they serve stock prices not society.

It's a leadership problem where the actors with the most knowledge and resources to combat the problem can hide behind a version of "it's too big to fail" and then when it all falls apart leave everyone in the wind.

I'm genuinely curious - what is your account of how the hole in the ozone developed and how the problem was remedied?

We'll learn a lot about how you view climate crisis by learning about how you think about the ozone crisis.
We produce much more than we consume. That is the wasteful part.
I’d prefer to have all of them. I’ve never heard of free speech preventing having the others.
Ad hominem via loose guilt-by-association, the lowest form of "argument" and further evidence of the plague of anti-intellectualism.

Everyone agrees that they face systemic issues. People don't agree on what those systemic issues are.

As an example, the California math curriculum is being organized around more extreme versions of the idea of keeping grades together, even though some have not learned previous material. They point to the fact that blacks wind up staying in class to higher grade levels.

Troglodytes like myself point out that if someone is missing key concepts in math, it is absolutely essential that this not be glossed over. You have to go back and fix the foundation before trying to go on. Systemically not even trying to do this allows only the pretense of an education. People like me then point to poor test scores and adult outcomes as evidence that pretending people failed to learn doesn't work. We need to have more rigorous standards, offer more support, and be willing to go more slowly at first until people "get" concepts.

When you look at states by black/white disparities in the prison population, progressive states dominate the bad end of the spectrum, and conservative states dominate the better end. (No state is actually very good, but some are less bad than others.)

My opinion is this. Conservative states do a lot that's obviously bad. What progressive states do is not as obviously bad, but generates worse results. Rigid ideological lectures around equity don't change that. Most people think that we live in a more progressive and tolerant society than we did under Reagan. But black/white wealth disparities have been increasing, not decreasing. Not because of old problems like redlining. Which was banned in 1968. But because CURRENT policies passed since 1980 are bad.

So what would I change? First I would end the drug war. It was always a race war. Second, I would bring back school bussing. Data showed that it really worked.
The problem with the Canadian way is that we allow family reunification. As a Canadian taxpayer I don't want to pay for the economic emigrants parents and grandparents social security and health care.

For the refugees, I have no problem with family reunification because if the situation is bad enough to qualify for our humanitarian refugee program, chances are that it's also bad enough for the rest of that migrant family.
You can't imagine where X, owned by saudis and the world's richest man, got $6 million from?
Can't or doesn't... regardless, he isn't. I think his wealth is inflated. When he defaults on his twitter loan, lenders will sell their collateral aka Tesla shares, to make up the difference dragging Tesla down with it and eliminating a huge portion of his wealth and the wealth of people/shareholders invested in Tesla.

So what's the point of saying that it's large?
I'm using Goodreads to check the ratings for books, and it has better signal for that than Amazon (where the minimum book rating seems to be 4.4)
Can we at least agree on the premise that free speech should be absolute? The parent pointed out that the implementation has never been perfect, but the objective was correct?

Conditional upon that, why wouldn't we strive to correct the implementation? The opposite seems to be happening.
Just as a really common anglo example, my passport has my middle name, but I will not otherwise use that name unless it's explicitly requested. Even airlines are inconsistent about this, so for most purposes I'm just Firstname Lastname.

At one point I had cards from two different banks, one with my middle name and one without.
"Including this one" is a good example, for how the rules of how content is selected for presentation define the medium. Even with exactly the same people, exactly the same dang occasionally nudging people this way or that way, this place would be an entirely different if the effective feed composition wasn't the one it is. So much of the identity of these online communities is an emergent consequence of the mechanisms employed.
There's healthy skepticism and then there's tin-foil hattery.

UAE may actually be a decent fit because of the Indian labor it imports.

A lot of Dirhams are converted to Rupees as laborers send the money back to India, so this could help reduce costs for the workers, companies and the UAE.
Facebook's VR bet was exactly this.

Experiences come to you instead of you going to experiences.
I disagree with the angle on this about asking and how to go about things but mostly because complimenting in context is helpful.

When someone does great work, tell everyone, not just their manager. Do it in public and clearly in standups after they talk about what they did last day/week.

"I just want to mention, that work that Joe did on that module is fantastic, thanks!" It is so easy to be a force for good.

Being the person who does this evenly for all good work is a guaranteed way to make others feel better, work better, and to develop real friendships. People tend to know when they are working hard.

Compliment in public, correct in private.
What does that have to do with this discussion on free speech?
> So the problem with realism is why does Ukraine not have any agency of their own?

Before the war, US media agreed Ukraine was one of if not the most corrupt country in Europe. I mean, just look at what both Trump and the Bidens got away with.

There is also an enormous propaganda apparatus operating on Ukrainian minds. Look how Zelensky got essentially elected by a fictional TV show produced by a notorious oligarch.

So yes, it is correct to question how much genuine "Ukrainian" political will exists in relation to the whims of powerful oligarchs and foreign powers (US, Russia, EU).

You really want me to believe that it is the Ukrainian national will to be slaughtered to prevent the corrupt Russian-speaking guy in Kiev being replaced by a corrupt Russian-speaking guy in Moscow? And that it is purely a coincidence that faraway Washington+London are extremely enthusiastic about this outcome?

> In my opinion it is John Mearshiemer is misinformed. One thing he gets wrong is that he says Putin did not say anything about wanting to conquer Ukraine despite all evidence to the contrary.

He explicitly invited the audience to provide this "evidence". I invite you to do the same.
Not paying what you owe by contract is not "a negotiation tactic", it is either theft or looming bankruptcy.
What would the crime be? The most likely thing to have happened is the delivery person delivered it to the wrong location.
Then I'd need to watch three hours of videos to refresh the bits of rusty calculus. At least.
Right. It can and should restrict how the government uses those services, but not the service itself.
Even if 100% of the global population was on board with getting rid of oil it would take more than 2 decades to lower demand by even 30% without causing massive decline in living standards.
If you're using a tool like ledger, I don't think there's much ghostfolio could say to convert you. Seems like comparing apples to oranges. I'm not familiar with ledger, but at a glance, seems like it's made for a different audience with different needs.

Teaching with AI
It's my personal bar for someone/some group to be considered honest. I'm not sure what 'reaperman's threshold is but I doubt it's literally 100% or even 99.9%.
It's still around. I think primarily it's used in Podcasting right now, though a number of entities are trying to get rid of it (Spotify comes to mind specifically)
No different to Meta then. Yet also you should be complaining about LinkedIn or TikTok hoovering up your data as well.

Otherwise just delete your accounts on all these social networks already rather than continuing to complain here.
The CCP rules as much through soft power as through hard power (threat of being disappeared/jailed), WeChat is just another tool in their tool box. I don't think they are twisty mustache cartoon villains, but the CCP definitely are belligerent to anyone feeling personal liberty from the government beyond what they allow, and knowing you are always being watched is part of that.
I also think that's the intended interpretation (that it is showing reduced immune response to other pathogens).

I think the linkage with the showing of /increased/ immune response to pathogens unrelated to COVID-19 traces to a finding that, post-vaccine, there is an immediate and general reduction in mortality. (I may have summarised that imprecisely.) The presumption in anti-covid-vaccine-mandate circles is that it is a confounding factor, and the result of biases in how populations are segmented.

But the paper does highlight similar findings in the background ("In high-mortality settings, live-attenuated vaccines are associated with reductions in all-cause infant mortality greater than can be attributed to vaccine-specific protection alone (5–7)."), but it doesn't seem to revisit the topic. Which is a bummer. It would seem to be an important topic to address.
Jews have had full civil rights in Sweden since before 1910, and took in a large amount of refugees from the Holocaust (famously, the entire Jewish population of Denmark). Sounds like the did a good job there.
I think early on, there was no front page of the internet. It would have been your university's telnet or gopher server or something. But really there wasn't one. I don't think it was Usenet, certainly. With the early web, Yahoo might have been the closest thing. I don't think there could be anything like centralization or aggregation (I mean: a single place people went to by default) until the browser became ubiquitous, which in my personal history marks the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the middle phase of the internet. I agree that many people spent a lot of time on Usenet, but I think many more people couldn't be bothered.

I learned basic scripting by writing rooms and content for MUDs, I love them and sometimes wistfully think about starting one up.
The benefit of using Pyas instead of directly using the calendar APIs is that Pyas dramatically reduces the amount of time and development resources you would need when integrating with the calendar APIs themselves. Pyas handles things like refresh tokens, webhooks, etc.
But couldn't Apple release an update at any time that would allow access to the data?
One of the first things I do with a new Fedora install is turn down the speed in the control panel. It takes a little tweaking to get right for my tastes, but I find it a small price to pay. But I've also been using a trackpoint for years, and I don't think I remember how awkward it felt at first. It m8ght not be your thing, but I've found them to be very convenient and intuitive.
I chose to submit to this censorship, because HN is actually not very censored at all. The very fact that we're having this discussion right now proves that HN takes a light touch, but regardless: HN is not a government, nor a monopoly, so you can always go elsewhere.
>>The new policy for the service formerly known as Twitter says it will use collected biometric data for ‘safety, security, and identification purposes.’

Edging ever and ever closer to E(vil) Corp.
Fix that title: 'in US law'

The US has a long culture of endorsing freedom of speech in public, regardless of the presence or government. It's a US principle, which of course resulted in the insistence that the constitution be amended to support it in government activities.

By no means is Freedom of Speech supposed to begin and end with that amendment.
Yes thanks that is one of the things I am updating with the next release
Informative, but if you’re building ordinary consumer hardware please don’t enable secure boot on your ESP32 device. There’s a thriving ecosystem of open source software (for example ESPHome) that gives flexibility to how a device is used and long term support long after your project or company has failed. We don’t need more electronic landfill rubbish when motivated individuals could tinker with them instead.
Does the US Government use services with Google accounts to conduct official business?

You can fill out official government documents in WeChat.
I don't know how to interpret that.

Yes, historically Sweden has been overbearing consensus culture, including using so-called "race science" to justify their positions, as with the Tornedalians.

But didn't official policy change long before they accepted many poor refugees from the non-West, which is the criteria shrimp_emoji used at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37336674 ?

That change, as I understand it, included creating the autonomous Sámi parliament back in the 1990s, and recognizing the Tornedalians and Sweden Finns, yes?

Plus, by the time of the Middle Eastern refugees, Sweden had accepted Western refugees, like Chileans back in the 1970s and Balkan refugees of the 1990s?

How then is Sweden a still meaningfully a monoculture even by, say, 2005?

I mean, I can understand how a government can be a monoculture, even if the country is not (eg, Afrikaans and South Africa), but I took shrimp_emoji to refer to the overall population, not the government.
I hope I never have to work with you. I would be mortified if someone did this to me.
The first two words of your NASA link are "In 2022.." they established it.

NASA started way after artemis, which strongly suggests this is an afterthought. The documents are design and planning of the architecture, - nowhere near rollout.

Further, STMD doesn't even mention anything close to communications on it's home page (correct me if I missed it). It's also not listed on their Spacetech page [0]. Also, teh LNSS project only goes so far as a demonstration scheduled for 2028 that will test whether they can pick up earth-GPS signals on the moon. [1]

Communications is essential to growing work outside of earth orbit. Nowhere do I see that NASA has this as a "priority".

Now, it's possible that NASA has 1,000 priorities, but that just means they have none.

I appreciate the ESA link - glad to see they are doing something about this, but I was referring to the article about NASA and NASA priorities. I get that we share things, but really, there is nothing significantly there regarding NASA.

Even worse, it's N/2.1 rather than N/2 due to pre-child-bearing-age mortality.

OTOH, obviously 1000 people aren't going to be alive at the age of 80. In Korea life expectancy is 83, but if it was 80 then we'd have 500 people alive at the age of 80, not 1000.

It'd be interesting to redo your numbers with an actuarial table.
No, they could have succeeded if they didn't ship crappy quality. Vertical integration is doable if you deliver quality. If you don't then you will end up with more warranty work than you can handle because nobody else has access to your parts.
That would be a decent analogy, if only it wasn't said by someone who managed to do almost exactly that a hundred times over.

Who is more believable, a person who has built/built-up and runs several multi-billion dollar companies and accomplished more in his life than 99.999% of people that have ever lived?, or the random person on the internet who likes to anonymously criticize successful people?

Sounds a bit like jealousy to me.

My Task Management Using Emacs and Org-Mode
Hi all. I wrote a short post on how I use Emacs and Org mode daily to organize my work.
Hard pass!
The overpaying started right on day #1.
Your response sums up my objection to these kinds of policy. You frame my arguments as some kind of attachment to the most heinous crime in spite of any clarifications I make. Governments operate the same way. Any questionable policies they enforce, it's always for the people. Opposition are terrorists and child abusers.

I made my arguments very clear. I don't support crime, ever. But that doesn't mean I support taking away individual rights essential to a free society.
Round Robin can get weird when you have common factors between the number of subrequests for a single request and the number of servers. I’ve seen everything from certain pages reliably blowing up in prod to weird caching bugs that don’t trigger in preproduction because the same box sees all of the requests.

Developers have a nasty habit of assuming a glitch or someone else changed something and if a reload fixes it they don’t note the pattern.
I assume you were taking something less than full feeds, because on a full feed reader server, just keeping up with the inode demands for all the messages was a challenge; grepping would have taken for-fucking-ever.
