I couldn’t find numbers on tire wear, but road wear increases with the fourth power of vehicle mass [1]. I think it’s a fairly safe guess to assume tires wear similarly to roads at best.

Unfortunately, vehicles have been getting dramatically heavier [2] before even taking EVs into account. It doesn’t take too many people driving around in 9000 pound Hummer EVs to make a big difference. Using the fourth power law, a single 9000-pounder is going cause the equivalent of 81 3000-pound compact cars worth of road wear.

We may have to introduce some kind of vehicle weight tax!

> And so my prediction is that we will see a reversal to the mean of history, and cryptography become again a govt granted privilege with conditions attached.

Electronic financial transactions (banking, e-commerce,...) and commercial communications are two main reasons we won't see this. Too much impact on the economic levels and the government already have access to this data, so it will be just cons, no pro.

You won't catch bad actors, they will move to illegal services and protocols. I think the voice of reason just prevailed and they realized that it's a bad idea. The only next step I can see is the requirement for data persistence to be done inside the country.

I believe there are somewhat standard tools for scanning memory dumps for cryptographic material, which have been around since the cold boot attack era.

Economics doesn’t guarantee absolute efficiency just a reasonable approximation of efficiency.

Moderate unemployment is one such inefficiency, but so is misallocated labor. A worker moving to a higher paying job is hypothetically a more optimal allocation of resources because they can only be paid more if they are creating more value. However, the real world is messy and therefore the price signaling around pay isn’t perfect just as stock pricing isn’t perfect either…

The bizarre thing is in practice capitalism works so well despite these issues even before you consider government intervention, monopolies, incentives misalignment etc. However at some point it’s less about the system than the people operating it.
Employees don't have the same interests as their employer, which is why you can use the same methodology to show every big tech company actually loves Bernie Sanders.
people will continue to take cars whenever cars are faster than public transit. Compare your travel route options on Google maps. My partner commutes about 20 miles to work and driving takes 45 min to an hour and 1/4 depending on time of day. even though we live a mile and 1/2 from a major train stop, it would take her an 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours to use public transportation to get to work.

until public transit fixes the time inefficiency problem, it's fighting an uphill battle.
Honestly the biggest restriction most people probably have is lack of space. I'm not even allowed a grill at most apartments, let alone a fire hot enough to work steel. I've been waiting 15+ years to start at this point, so a few more until I can buy/rent a house won't kill me.

The two are in conflict. Redaction is a problem for logs as well. A longer retention period implies a more damaging vulnerability.

Right, by the same token, why should any relatively small carbon intensive country decarbonise x/y/z sector when China, India, Nigeria et cetera are still out there?

Tyres have costs that they successfully externalise. As a society we either accept them or we regulate them.

It’s incredible that whenever the externalised costs of motor vehicles come up someone will come in and say “ah but there’s no direct carbon emissions”. (This is a reference to another child comment, not yours specifically).

The context is that we exist in and depend on a biosphere that we don’t fully understand but we do know we are living through what amounts to a huge mass extinction where we are destroying assets that have taken about 66 million years to arise without having determined their true value. We seem to be in the middle of a demographic transition where we will gradually need less space and fewer resources as a society (all the while seemingly needing more care provided to us).

And it’s a conversation that’s been going on my whole 30 something years on this planet.

And from the article:

> “We also assessed the effectiveness of a stormwater treatment device to capture and remove these contaminants from stormwater and evaluated the role of a constructed stormwater wetland for capturing microplastics in the sediment, removing it from stormwater runoff.

> “The device is a bag made of 0.2 millimetre mesh which can be retrofitted to stormwater drains. Although originally designed to capture gross pollutants, sediment, litter and oil and grease, it significantly reduced microplastics from raw runoff, with up to 88% less microplastics in treated water which had passed through the device.”

They even have a partial solution to this problem that can be retrofitted to existing infrastructure.
Some of us would just rather invest in busses, bikes and trains if we're going to replace everything on the road right now.

The reality is yes of course EVs are better than ICE cars - eventually. It takes some 20-90,000 miles driven for them to break even in terms of CO2 emissions thanks to all the lithium and copper that goes into them. The tire wear is yet another new and interesting challenge.

They're being marketed as a panacea, but they're not. They're probably 1/2 to 1/4 as bad as a gas powered car for most people in most cases. For some people it's worse than a gas car - the ones who get big heavy cars like an electric hummer, or for people who don't put too many miles on their cars.

The best car is the one you don't need because you have public transit around. That way you can use the roads for neat stuff like restaurants, and walking.

I like embedding external resources such as bitmap images in SVG in CSS in HTML so that a document is truly portable and can be sent by email or messenger services. So I don't need a URL. The whole document has to be shared, not just a link to it.

I also found the favicon can be encoded in this way.

I don't do scripts, but a lot of fun can be had with HTML when you start doing unusual things with it. For CSS I also use my own units, just for fun. So no pixels, ems or points, but something else... CSS variables make this possible. I like to use full semantic elements and have minimal classes, styling the elements. This should confuse the front end developer more used to the 'painting by numbers' approach of typical website frontend work.

I have seen this video and in the examples he gives they clear the bike paths. Where I live when it snows it’s just impossible to bike. In heavy snow it’s like biking on the sand. And sometimes when the temperatures fluctuate there is black ice I have to worry about. Some bike paths get salted but not all so it’s not a safe continuous ride at least for my commute.
Some questions:

- Why are you mentioning Russia? You do realize they've been capitalist for 30 years now, and that it's transformation to a more fascist state happened in those decades?

- Do you think Cuba was a monarchy, ruled by king Batista, before it fell to communism?

> anywhere Marxism could be falsified it was

Ironically, this is a falsifiable statement. One of the key predictions of Marx is that under capitalism, wealth and property would be concentrated in an increasingly smaller group over time. I would not consider that one as having been falsified.

> I could bust out my old copy of the communist manifesto to check any more predictions he made

That's not a great source for predictions, tbh. It's more of a pamphlet aimed at workers, not so much a theoretical analysis of capitalism or communism. In all fairness though, the books you'd have to read for those predictions are super long and dry, and honestly who has time for that?

> Vegan activism is sucking the fun out of student life

What a ridiculous and trash article that does nothing to engage with the moral or ethical concerns that motivate "vegan activism". Maybe such concerns are wrong, maybe their arguments aren't good. This Harry Clynch fellow probably doesn't know because he hasn't bothered to actually understand the arguments. More likely, he is willfully obfuscating the issue by pretending like there is no cost to conscious life or that climate change that doesn't merit the utmost seriousness.

No, to him "fun" is more important. This is an article so morally autistic as to think that killing living things is ok simply by virtue of it contributing to human pleasure. He assumes that eating meat is somehow some benign default, whereas people who bring forth arguments against it are somehow evil. It's the typical modern "conservative" dribble of "anything smacking of self-abnegation or altruism or that otherwise causes me to confront my own moral failings or dial down my own selfishness is bad, and me firing my own pleasure neurons irrespective of the externalities is good"

I am not a vegan, but would gladly support such an initiative if I was still attending a university.
A Nazi who believes in and practices non-violence isn't actually a Nazi. Their entire ideology (or whatever you want to call it, it isn't actually logically consistent enough to be honestly called one) is based around a violent struggle for power and racial supremacy.

They might, however, be a 'useful idiot'. Which, in its original definition, is a person propagandizing for a bad cause, originating from a devious, ruthless source, without comprehending the cause's goals.

Sadly, there's no shortage of those people in mainstream discourse.

Agreed, but in the US I think we simultaneously need to invest in public safety and mental health facilities or no one is going to use the new mass transit facilities.
Fortunately, 9000 pound hummers are essentially exotics, and not something that will sell in large numbers.

I think a better context would be comparing the most popular EVs on our roads (e.g. Model 3, Y) with the most popular ICEV equivalents (RAV4? Camry?). And for extra data, box trucks and tractor-trailers.

Probably we should just tax trucks and skip the expense of trying to tax individual consumers.

I don't think it's "moving the goalposts" when you demand that you can understand, at least to a first-order approximation, what the code that you write is doing.

Yes, you could just treat IO as a black box and memorize a bunch of weird syntax rules, but you're going to have a hard time very quickly, especially when you change something and the compiler throws errors at you.

FWIW, I think that monads are a powerful abstraction, but they're certainly not incredibly natural and Haskell basically just throws them at you from day 1.
Sort of funny, because I remember in school we were taught "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" but maybe that simply doesn't work as a concept for most modern materials.

> Wilhelm II wanted vigorous & rapid expansion, to enlarge Germany's (and his) place in the sun. Bismark, who was getting a bit old & unsteady himself, was replaced in 1890 with a new German Chancellor, more to the young Kaiser's liking.

Otto von Bismarck was very adept at putting together treaties and alliances to hold things at bay or in stasis until Prussia could benefit. Bismarck understood to have limited objectives--Bismarck had a plan--Bismarck always had a plan.

> If unemployment did not exist, the capitalist class would have no power to make workers work harder using the threat of losing their jobs.

How so?

There could be 0% unemployment and anyone could find another job easily, but the other job could pay less, or have less flexibility, or be in a less convenient location, so you still prefer the job you have now.

Suppose unemployment is low because prices are high, so no one can afford to go without a job and will take jobs under unfavorable terms in order to make rent.

First and foremost, congratulations on launching such an innovative project! Your unique approach seems to significantly simplify the process of observing and gaining insights into Kubernetes clusters.

The actual problem is that “tolerance” is undefined in that statement. If you make it concrete the “paradox” either disappears or is obvious.

As an example, say the definition of tolerance is: “I will not physically harm based on spoken words.”. Then the phrase becomes: “I will not physically harm people based on spoken words unless that person will physically harm people based on spoken words.”. No paradox.

Say we define it as: “I will not initiate violence.”. “I will not initiate violence on a person unless that person initiates violence on people.”. No paradox.

“I will never harm a person unless that person harms people.” No paradox.

It is just a problem of lazy definitions and not defining your terms.

I mostly agree with the general trend of your post but TypeScript is definitely an extra layer of complexity. You no longer edit the code which your browser runs, you have another toolchain to maintain, and you need to deal with things like source maps everywhere.

Now, there’s a strong argument that this is more than balanced out by the things you mentioned. I personally agree with some of them but I do think that’s a legitimate point. I’ve seen every mitigating factor for TypeScript’s complexity fail so I’m not going to say it doesn’t happen.
