Data spans vary considerably.

There are detailed contemporary human observations dating back a couple of centuries, on both land (at specific locations) and sea (mostly via ships logs). These can provide extensive direct measurement and are useful in calibrating other sources.

Remote satellite sensing of course dates back only to the late 1950s, and for the most part useful measurements to the 1970s and 80s. These are useful in being global and detailed, but of course offer limited timespans.

Proxy measures from an incredible array of biological and geological factors and indicators can provide strong indicia of extant conditions ranging from 100s to 1,000s to 1,000,000s of years. Among some that I'm aware of are isotope ratios in trapped gasses (found in ice cores, ranging back ~800,000 years), mineralisation of seashells and seashell-derived limestones (dating back 100s of millions of years), tree-ring data and pollen deposition in lakes and bogs (both dating back 10s of thousands of years), and again isotopic patterns in geological strata (cruder but ranging back billions of years), as well as signs of glaciation (indicating sub-freezing surface temperatures), of ancient seas, lakes, or rivers (indicating sea levels and precipitation patterns), dust deposition in seafloor strata (drill cores from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge were pivotal in determining periods of desertification and temperate climates in the Sahara / North African region), amongst others.

It's of course tricky to directly compare two different data series, but it's possible, and the narrative which emerges is both generally consistent and points to the critical role of atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gasses.

Oil is much, much more valuable in the long term as a material commodity, not a fuel commodity. This can be realized if we bring down the price of power, which is happening, albeit in only part of the globe.
This article would be easier to believe if their two examples weren't laughable Web3/Crypto products. It's also a bit change they're comparing 2016 and 2020 values - funding dropping to 2020 levels doesn't really seem like major cause for alarm, to me.

Exactly! This has been my own head canon too since like decades! I was actually surprised to read in this thread that "infamous" is a negative interpretation of famous which seems like a revisionist and recent interpretation. The English language also evolves through the ages and so do the meanings and interpretations.
When it comes to a product decision, those are very different in my book. The default position should be not to change or intervene. In the case of a new product or feature that means not shipping the product unless it is tested along the way and continues to meet predefined targets. Anything less risks committing resources to a project that at best isn't valuable and at worst is a net drain on the company.

In this case, Twitter after Elon acquired it decided to continue with the beta feature. I have no idea how that decision was made internally and can't peg it on Elon, though I can assume he had the authority to spike the project if he wanted to. Assuming Twitter has competent PMs, they made the active choise to move the project out of beta when the testing phase was complete and they evaluated whether it met goals.
“Apologetic coverage of authoritarian …” good lord. Just dripping with partisan hate. I suspect that political opponents of the article’s author do not agree. Orwellian to think this person likely chides others for bias. Really reads like any other Wikipedia page of a person that goes against the radical progressive ideology that infects Wikipedia. It’s really sad that Wikipedia can’t observe the current trust in mainstream media and recognize an overtly partisan site will eventually lose all credibility. Any of these hit piece articles can be better summed up “the hive mind that controls Wikipedia disagrees politically with this person so they are literally a Nazi”. Reading any of those talk pages is an exercise in suppressing nausea.
Whats the validity of the logs when they can be boiled down to metrics instead way more concisely (at least with olap-like storage).

For traces, as mentioned elsewhere sampling is key. Some systems use % of requests, and other systems cap traces to traces/sec.

Logs are just expensive but easy to use, so the best strategy is to lean on filtering to avoid a bunch of pointless repetition which don't add value.

TLDR, metrics require more planning but can end up being much cheaper than logs.
no. but flying cars aren't a really good solution for a bunch of reasons.

That's not the only solution. Another solution would be to come up with a better energy technology that's cheaper than fossil fuels.

Maybe the question is "can you avoid contributing to the risk of igniting a wildfire?".

Suppose you have a crash (due to a leak or something?); is there a high danger that you would set off a wildfire if you landed in an area of dry vegetation?

People are very conscious of this because it's wildfire season right now in many places, and electrical utilities (some of your customers) are increasingly being accused of having a role in triggering wildfires. Although in some cases that involves their failure to perform adequate inspections, so you would probably be helping reduce that risk overall by performing useful and rapid inspections.
If a link is established, would it mean that workers who get tinnitus correlated with wearing noise canceling headphones all day to focus in “open office” environments might have standing to claim damages/recompense under OSHA?

They're saying that these clouds have blunted the impact of CO2 emissions. Most of the CO2 increase (to ~420ppm) above pre-industrial levels (from ~275ppm) has occurred over the past 100 years; about half of it has only been since ~1990 (then ~350ppm).

Fully agreed. These people have put millions to billions of people out of a job over the last few decades across the entire spectrum from office work to physical labor of all kinds. They deserve no job security of their own.

That's a very twisted definition of Unix.

1) This is not done by every tool. Instead, there are tools built for specific parsing purposes, and each tool is only in charge of interpreting its command-line arguments or, optionally, stdin in some suitable way. Tools are agnostic of the output of previous tools, and only care about processing data that makes sense to them. It's the task of the user to ensure this data is structured correctly.

2) Where are you getting these limits? Shell limits can be controlled by ulimit(1p), but the standard file descriptors function as unlimited streams of data.

3) Again, every process is free to choose the best way to output data. Some have flags that make processing the output easier by another tool, otherwise they default to what makes sense for the user.

You seem to have a bone to pick with the fact that the data shared between processes is unstructured, and that the user must handle this on their own, but this is what enables building independent tools that "do one thing well", yet are still able to work together. Sure, in a tightly controlled environment, tools can share structured data (e.g. objects in PowerShell, JSON in NuShell, Murex, etc.), but this comes at the expense of added complexity, since each tool needs to handle this specific format, encoding, etc. This is difficult to coordinate and scale, and arguably the rich Unix ecosystem wouldn't exist if some arcane format was chosen 40+ years ago, or if a new one needs to be supported whenever something "better" than JSON comes along. Leaving the data unstructured and up to each process and user to handle, ensures both past and future compatibility.
Sometimes it's the flat, nonemotional, and direct accounts which have the strongest impact as one comes to realise just what it is that they're saying.

Read through, say, an official air crash report or industrial accident investigation, and slowly realise that what you're reading is an account of how some dozens of souls ended their existence. Often with a chain of events such that once the process had begun, the fate was inevitable, though it might have played out over many minutes or hours, possibly even longer.

In some ways it's an ultimate example of "show, don't tell".
The title is misleading and made me think there was a new open source database.
Except worker cooperatives are noted for being particularly resilient against closures - Wikipedia links to a number of studies and analyses here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative#Research_on...

For example there's a British study that shows that 76% of worker cooperatives tend to survive the first five years, compared to 42% of all companies overall, making them particularly stable businesses.

You've also got typically higher job satisfaction from the employees (so less likely to have the ex-employees to create competitors out of), and more productive employees overall.

Honestly that sounds like a pretty good model for businesses overall to me.
Amen. The anti-crypto crowd in 2023 are now the more belligerent of the two (since the crypto crowd have largely gone quiet.)

You can ideologically disagree with it's use a money and I could understand that, but decentralized databases could be used nicely to circumvent the steam store 5% marketplace fees. That's value removed consumers wallet and sent to Bellevue at 99.9999% profit.

It's not a technical problem at this point with the low fee + fast transactions + negative carbon DeDBs out there. It's an incentive problem - no game studio wants to give up their cash cow, and consumers are, rightfully, wary of web3. IMO, it's going to be a long climb back for what we now call 'blockchain', but in 5 or 10 years I believe there will be advocacy for SOME data to be (including digital collectibles) free and open. Ironically, I think AI will speed this up as the major platforms throw up higher and higher walls to keep AI out -- people will realize the only options for control of their public facing works is to self host or use some form of decentralized database. That or we all start using github for social media.

I won’t pretend that capacitor is all sunshine and roses, but it’s vastly superior to Cordova in that you commit the iOS and Android projects themselves instead of generating them from scratch. It means that you can make edits in Xcode or Android Studio, and they are persisted so that when you go to build the app on a build server it works pretty much the same as locally.

Toss Fastlane into the mix and local dev, working as a team, and using a build server is a breeze.

I write apps that process hundreds of thousands of dollars through them using Quasar+Capacitor (both taking payment through the app as a customer and using the app to talk to a Bluetooth card reader to process payments as a vendor) and without being able to share a codebase I could never have accomplished this as a solo founder.
Weren't there a couple of other companies recently using UAVs to detect and/or fight wildfires?

I wonder if there would ever be a way to get paid both to detect wildfires and to perform utility line inspections at the same time. I'm guessing this would be hard because the best altitude for the former application is probably quite a lot higher than for the latter.

Seems net income per employee is only ~$120,000, though. The way you put it might leave people thinking they have $2.4 million to give to each employee, when in reality they have bills to pay.
Could we feasibly just pump a bunch of clouds into the sky and put most of earth into a permanent overcast resembling Seattle?

In this case, if those working from home got a 40% raise after joining, the others who came to office on their own might start getting ideas! They may also consider working from home in future and then try to negotiate their "office coming" in lieu of additional compensation. Companies and their HR must have realized this.

Personally, I think additional compensation or an allowance is totally fair and deserving for candidates who join office. After all, they do have to make sacrifices like travel expense, time spent on travelling to office (opportunity cost), time spent away from the family, relocation to a place near office (if needed), etc.
Oh and the operational overhead of performing full trace recording of 2k/requests a sec are non-trivial. You'll start to feel the overhead of adding extra telemetry.
Not really. These days, if you have talent, spreading your work is as easy as making a Reddit or HN post and get traction in no time at all. What sinks probably isn't worth much attention. Of course, works are also made and not published anywhere, but people are free to stay a hermit and not publish their work.
If I’m honest, my concerns are way more selfish - climate change is making my city just way too hot and humid to live in. While I’m certainly concerned about the environment, I’m more concerned about my ability to live comfortably for the 3-4 months of increasingly stretched out summers.
That really makes the distinction of am "authoritarian liberal" pointless at that point. One is a ideology and the other is a political party, the combination of the two is completely irrelevant as any party could align with one specific ideology.
How to kill solar with this cool trick
You don't have to do that explicitly. Tax all products by carbon emissions. Tariff all nations that do not participate in such a program.

You don't have to tax beef explicitly when you tax carbon because beef is carbon intensive and so the tax is implicit.

The problem is that carbon pricing is a political 3rd rail and also has no moat, so it's trivially easy for the a conservative government to pander and throw it out.
That is not really a solution in itself though. As soon as it becomes cheaper, fossil fuel prices will drop due to a drop in demand for them, especially in developing countries. Moreover, more clean energy might mitigate the CO2 problem somewhat but it does not necessarily mitigate our expansion into natural habitats, an expansion that destroys them.

It is simple-minded to think that a single technological breakthrough will suddenly make the problem of climate change go away.
The problem with llama is that it's not really open. So it's not really "for the rest of us".

I would trace it back much further than that.

Restaurants are often started as a family business with a “boss” who simply continues to be a boss even as more employees come on board.

What are the limitations on adding documents to your system? Your website doesn't particularly highlight that feature set, which it probably should if you support it!
And then feast ravenously on the remains when the battle is over.
Hi! Just wanted to let you know I'm getting a 500 error on your docs page.

This is great to hear! Congrats.

We're looking at this a bit differently because the scale opportunity is available to us. The market we are in is huge, and growing, and we have a unique take.

But that doesn't mean default profitable should be ignored. It shouldn't be an either or.

I guess I'm likening it to a fire to keep you warm enough to survive in the cold vs a bonfire.

Build the fire to keep you alive, THEN put huge amounts of wood and fuel on it to grow huge.

I feel like the VC model is "we'll get a bunch of stuff that might burn, throw gas on it, light it up, and then see if the stuff we put in will actually burn or not".

We had a VC turn us down, not because he didn't believe in the market or the opportunity, but he didn't believe we could grow fast enough.
Either side of this debate asserting the other side is categorically wrong/going away is just foolish.
If you want to go down this route I would argue that no office worker is ever very productive relative to what a blue collar employee deals with every day. You won't make them work harder by dragging them into the office, it will simply burn them out faster (1-2 hours more per day devoted to commute and cooloff from work once getting home) and employees forced into office will just steal time by taking long bathroom breaks/long lunch/sitting around chatting with buddies.
But nobody is saying that everyone has to be equal. Coops have measurable pay ratios just like everyone else, they just tend not to be as large as non-coops. More important (or harder to find) roles will obviously get paid more.

At the end of the day, most people want to get paid, and to get paid, at least in the long term, you need a viable business. So workers tend to make choices that ensure the business is able to survive, because that is more valuable in the long run than lining their own pockets right now and not having a job to go to tomorrow.
Not necessarily, but my rants are also not usually prefaced with "I don't really know much about this topic, but here are my opinions regardless."
Your pricing seems to eliminate some use cases, including mine.

Rather than wanting to import N documents per month, I would want to import M documents all at once, then use that set of documents until at some future time I want to import another batch of K documents (probably a lot smaller than M) or just one document once in a while.

By limiting it to a fixed amount of documents per month, it eliminates all the applications where you need to import a complete corpus before the service is useful.

How can you send email from users' email accounts?
If you were to create a service that emailed on behalf of users, using their own personal emails, how would you go about that?

Is it as simple as using a service like AWS SES, and just having the end-users verify/authorize their emails via a verification flow? (So it is pretty much up to end-users to exercise due caution when allowing such services to access?)

As it came from a no reply address.

They have "If you prefer to opt out of letting Fi use and share your CPNI with Alphabet and Google services, you can do so by replying here" text in the email with "here" being a hyperlink that takes me to my main google fi profile page but doesn't even turn off the opt-in.

Looking forward to absolutely nothing happening! Is there even a private right of action?
> more employees diluted the pie

why should this new employee automatically dilute the pie before their "worth" is made real (by virtue of working and contributing to the bottom line)?

if adding this new employee creates more value, the existing owners shouldn't have a problem with adding. Of course, unless the employee start owning their share before being first able to be vetted.
Because of the big leap involved in "worker owned cooperatives that have been created by workers buying a business." Either the workers are unusually wealthy and dedicated or a rich owner is doing a bit of charity, in both cases their odds are way better with a corp too. If you're starting with nothing, it'll be difficult to find investment for a co-op.
I do wonder about selection criteria biases, it's not like both types of business were started with the same set of circumstances. I.e. if you flipped a coin on a non-cooperative and if heads made it a cooperative would it's probability of success increase or decrease.
