> the article talks amount their investments causing 40% of their emissions, so not directly causing it.

I don't think it's investment in real estate, but more: a 0.05% stake in GM for instance. If the 40% is as a result of investments in companies that pollute, then I fail to see the point of the article. It makes little difference if those positions are held by the richest 10% or the poorest, the environmental impact is the same.

There is a question of whether climate change is a minor concern for the wealthiest individuals, compared to the middle class. Most evidence seems to show that the rich simply do not care or at least do not feel like they should make changes to their lifestyle.

Currently taxing seems like the only viable solution, but can we really tax a private jet enough that those who use them the most would scale back? I doubt it. What would a flight from San Jose to San Francisco need to cost to stop someone like Elon Musk from firing up the jet?

Got some good examples?
At the time he studied in the U.K., about 5% of the population went to University, and today it’s nearly 50%.

To play devils advocate, it’s hard to see a way of keeping the system the same when your intake and thus the intake for postgrad courses is so much higher.
Because we eat ourselves to death.
Most people want something really quick, thoughtless and comforting so they feel good about starting the day and establish a routine.
They have to introduce that argument in order to create a tenuous chain of logic to their goal:

> Results suggest an alternative income or shareholder-based carbon tax, focused on investments, may have equity advantages over traditional consumer-facing cap-and-trade or carbon tax options and be a useful policy tool to encourage decarbonization while raising revenue for climate finance.
Caddy is amazing. I accidentally wiped my fairly complex nginx configuration (yay apt-get purge) and have been so spoiled by Guix that I did not care about etckeeper or ansible on my one Debian server.

Anyway I decided to try Caddy to quickly get up and running and had a good setup in minutes including certificates for multiple domains. Even added wildcard certificates which I never figured out with Lets Encrypt, just because I could.

Thanks for this amazing software :-)
Tell this to the advertising algorithms that want to always advertise whatever I've most recently purchased.
There's part of me thinks just let the worst happen and let it end half of humanity, that way we might learn to live more in harmony with our environment. Currently we're a pox on this planet.
Funny you mention religion, the deniers also have their own religion, disputing facts with their own "facts" and "truth".

So what about 1981? Do you think it means it could've been lower than right now in, say, the 1970s, but the liars conveniently only started counting from the decade after? Given we have temperature data from further back and we know higher temperature = ice melts, the scientific mind would conclude there's a correlation. But oh nooo, jiofj knows better, there could be something else affecting it!
Java 21 doesn't retrofit green threads though. Quasar [0] is a library that implemented fibers for Java and the main developer pron has joined the OpenJDK development team. All that was necessary for first party support is to make the JDK libraries yield when blocking.

Adopting async isn't impossible at all, there is very little demand for it.

At (traditional) this is causing me to develop feature and then throw it again and then implement it again slightly differently because someone said something in the chain without thinking and sometimes to fight with management teams for doing something insane. And in one case why throwed out 3,5 months of development work, because some exec was mistaken.

But at (SV startup company) this caused at least for my team complete chaos, what should we do, who should be doing the integration, talking to customers, why are we doing this.

Usually at SV startup company I was like 2-4 times more productive, but often output of my work wasn't really significant, as in traditional company so small dumb feature was raking in money and really improved large customer base.
The animals need to be fed - a great deal of crop yield goes into making meat.
It is so disingenuous to snip out the reason they gave and then pose a sanctimonious question as if it wasn't clear. They said it's to increase supply and lower labour costs.

You can argue with that or not but don't pretend you do not understand the capitalist ideal of an excess supply of labour so that salaries and benefits can be driven to legal minimums with desperate people still waiting to be hired no matter the indignity. Creating Labour surpluses to reduce Labour power and enable exploitation is not a "net benefit to humanity", it only benefits capital.

In our shitty world, you are only valued if you are in a position of more demand than the supply. You might get that by being lucky but most only get it by gatekeeping whether it's doctors or delivery drivers or companies buying up their competitors. If you stand idly by, the world will punish you.
Take some responsibility for yourself. You're a grown up with some level of agency.

What health benefits? Sugar is incredibly addictive (I struggled with it for decades). Cereal companies know to use compelling marketing, add some fiber and niacin to claim it's "healthy" and enough people will get addicted.

Interestingly Mexico is leading in many ways to address it by prohibiting cartoons on sugary cereals (and more health warnings on labeling). Kelloggs has been fighting it in court.

You can increase the number of hops to make it very difficult. Guard nodes are pinned, so they might know who uses and who doesnt use Tor (doesnt matter if you arent using a bridge).

You can also set up your own exit/guard node and configure Tor accordingly. While not a recommended setup, it works pretty reliably.
As you get wealthier, you believe you need things, like a 3 br home where each kid has their own room. If money gets tight, you realize a 2 br is actually fine. Problem is, when you consider downgrading you feel that need a lot more than if you’d never had it. Same goes for the jet. That 2 hr trip suddenly feels really critical compared to just planning your travel better.
Wasn’t there a post here recently where Musk redirected his cousin’s plane to go unplug some servers? Where was he going that was so important in the middle of the night? And could that detour have waited for a normal flight booking? And apparently the decision turned out do be a mistake according ti Musk himself.

So to answer, money determines needs.
As a mature professional who stopped counting learned programming languages and frameworks long ago (I’m familiar with Kotlin too), I can tell you that Java is a modern tool by all measures. It may lack some features of other languages and platforms, but it is not features what defines relevance for modern applications. Your advocacy is important, we of course need progress and testing new concepts. Yet what ultimately matters is business value and user experience. Java is pretty good in delivering it and many professionals choose it for that reason, leaving new stuff to pet projects at home. It is not diehard conservatism that lets us make this choice, but a mere pragmatism. For me it is not obvious that Kotlin is better. There are risks associated with less mature platform that already costed one of my teams a couple of wasted sprints. Productivity and quality impact isn’t really noticeable (the biggest factor in those two measures is always communication, not tools).
Well, nothing truly horrible but here are things I find inconvenient (but working nevertheless) when using the sdk.

1. NodeJS-based utilities. The tooling around js doesn't lean itself well to integration with with the dev's environment.

2. The sdk itself is a mix of Rust, javascript and C. I'd say that this is at least one language too many - makes it harder to contribute. Ideally such fundamental projects should be as simple and homogeneous as possible.

3. I keep wondering if generating languages other than C should be supported.

The core idea of the library is brilliant either way so it sort of compensates all of the above.
> I went with DNS based Let's Encrypt for internal certificates, since I'm okay leaking my internal DNS names.

Lets Encrypt offers wildcard certificates, there is no reason to have internal DNS records exposed.

The thing to remember, though, is that Nixon did this while dealing with the fact that the Eurodollar system had already been pumping up the money supply; his move was mostly just to avoid handing out all the gold which was already minimal relative to overall monetary supply.

Bretton Woods was doomed from the start in a world where independent offshore banks were free to create ledger money and settle up with each other however they like like, but meanwhile the Treasury had the obligation to settle in gold.
A household would need to earn an annual income of around $200k to be in the top 10%. Are you saying most people here earn that amount of money?
I mean you're not wrong, but if we take that view the only permanent solution if to capture the CO2 and stuff it back into the ground, preferably as a relatively stable substance such as coal or oil.

Most of the worlds large forests are no more, many European countries are stripped of their old forests, so replanting those are required anyway, for other environmental concerns. They could on a permanent basis capture some percentage of the CO2. It is permanent if you view it as a forest and not individual tree.

Thank you! With the CPU usage, it seems like every season will be summertime.
It really depends on how you define and measure security. A Windows install's attack surface is massive with tons of legacy crap there for backwards compatibility that is very hard to secure properly. Having a TPM and hardware attestation can only get you so far.

A random Linux distribution can be a very minimal one, and can have sandboxing too, which is what I presume what you equate to security.

But async/await is special syntax. I agree it's a nice improvement over using Task APIs directly.
Also in recent times the biggest DDoS attacks are done by Linux-based botnets. Typically the botnet operators use SSH brute forcing to infect everything from IoT devices to big servers.

However Linux is not to blame that it's used in idiotic IoT and server configurations.
Mostly plant-based, move along.

Vegan is the church.

My local animal rights group changed their marketing 15 years ago from mainly using the term “vegan” to “plant-based” which is free from the cult-like elements of veganism, such as disapproval of anything but “100%”. The term “vegan” is back now that it has become more mainstream.
Same here. I get all sorts of nonsensical suggestions when swiping now that I never used to get. It changed a few years pre-covid, so yeah, 5-6 years ago. I assumed it was stunting to do with a list lawsuit against samsung or something
> Brown recognised, following Foucault, that many of the neoliberal intellectuals of the 1930s and 1940s, horrified by fascism, advocated markets as a defence against politics. Yet they continued to look to the state to implement their projects as forcefully as possible, and eventually got what they wanted, starting in Chile in the 1970s, then the UK and the US in the 1980s. Expanding the reach of economics and markets into otherwise ‘non-economic’ domains of life is the signal ambition of neoliberalism, and distinguishes it from the Enlightenment liberalism in which ‘market’, ‘state’ and ‘society’ are imagined, as Weber would have appreciated, as three separate spheres of existence.

Which is exactly what is happening today in the entire world, and magnified hundredfold by the megaphone of social media. Due to the faults of the state in 2007, that once again applied its forceful hand on the delicate, chaotic balance of the market, we've seen an acceleration towards inequality and lowered standard of living, apart from the ultra-rich and mega-corporations that are able to benefit and gain from zero interest rates. And what do academics and laymen alike ask to get out of the tar pit? More state. More politics. A move towards left and right authoritarianism.

What caused the 2007 crisis and all other crises is not the market. The market is a convenient scapegoat upon which politicians, even the most neo-liberal ones, can place all the blame. The market is an autonomous process which is controlled and manipulated by the people in the palace with their laws to favour their lobbyist friends. You don't accumulate trillions of dollars without help from the people writing the laws.

These days it's almost become blasphemous and paints a target on your back to ask for actually free markets. These days everybody wants even more state, stuck in this media-powered Stockholm Syndrome for the political circus. Every election a new fever dream that the next party will solve all the ills in our world. Even young people are becoming politicised, participating and promoting the same old game for rich, old people.

We are further and further away from that Enlightened liberal dream, from the true separation of state and market.
RDR2 was good for its time, but is it really state of the art these days? Seems like other games have pretty good grass...

If we grow our resource use to such a point that we reach a ceiling, then we are exactly like a pox, or any other organism that breeds until its niche is filled.

Those who want to make us live sustainably now or previously are hoping that we can be smarter than that. We're supposed to be a smart species. Can we limit ourselves artificially to preserve a better quality of life?

Easy to be pessimistic about this now(!)

Cleaning pollution is hard, carbon capture is insanely expensive.
We could take this take money and instead of storing that carbon (as other comments suggest) we could further the transformation of grid from fossil fuels to green energy, R&D and to make impact more meaningful provide "carbon tax" to developing countries to ditch fossil fuel as so on.
Kamaji: The Kubernetes Control Plane Manager
Kamaji, the opensource Kubernetes Control Plane Manager, is a game changer in the Kubernetes Multi Cluster Management. Why? Most of the existing multi-cluster management solutions provision specific infrastructure for the control plane, in most cases dedicated machines. Kamaji is special because the control plane of the downstream clusters are regular pods running in the management cluster. This solution makes running multiple Control Planes cheaper and easier to deploy and operate.

Welcome to the real world?

Everybody has to raise funds, either by being long term valuable to investors or by being valuable now.

The fundamental issues in most of public unis (not the UK) is that you can afford to do non profitable endeavours (both on the research and in generating earning potential for the students) while being funded with my taxes.

Of course the incentives are not aligned and the system is doomed to failure.

I really can't wait for useful universities alternatives made by productive people (some of which are in academia, most of them are in the private sector) and not the old academia dinosaurs.
Half of humanity is not going to die from climate change. It is going to die from other people who consider humanity itself to be a pox.

To me “product focussed” is the situation the article describes, everyone thinks about the product (and therefore the business by extension)

Those who don’t like that work environment (so would prefer the latter two of my three dev jobs) would be tech focussed in my book.

It’s all semantics though
When I watched this TV show where real estate agents were selling massive houses to the rich and famous in Beverly Hills, expansive multi-million dollar homes, I just though of all the concrete and materials used to build such homes (all of which emit CO2 when made) and the heating and cooling bills associated with that.

It's all unnecessary stuff, you don't need a collosal mansion, that's the sort of thing which contributes to these figures. Their extremely vapid, "luxurious" lives ... It's sad

> if we take that view the only permanent solution [is] to capture the CO2 and stuff it back into the ground

I think that's basically correct on the scale that's needed. I don't even think turning trees into building materials is enough.

Planting a lot of trees and letting forests grow has the advantage that it's obviously possible with current tech, while the forest is expanding in mass that CO2 is being scrubbed, and it's conspicuously visible to people (garnering feelings of goodwill and participation), but I don't believe the relatively small amount of incremental forest that we could reasonably create will make a meaningful change on a 100-year basis.
We have tried this before and it wasn't great.

step 0: Make sure your marketing is relevant. I receive hundreds of "marketing" emails per day, mostly of products I use, and they are so irrelevant they go straight to spam or the trash.

If you need to push your marketing onto users by clickbaiting them or using shady practices like starting it with "hey, this is Anne, ...", or spamming them outright (multiple emails a day), then maybe its utterly fucking irrelevant.

Dont use my full name in marketing emails, dont go "<Full name>, how to ...", and for the live of god dont use emojis in your subject.

If your email is irrelevant, please dont send it.

If I am understanding correctly, this is a very dishonest study:

If Elon Musk owns 30% of Tesla, and Tesla produces 1 Gigaton of CO2 each year the study would assign 300 Megatons to Musk, even though the cars are produced for someone else(!).

It seems entirely genuine, and yes, it is possible to be very precise with just eye measure/hand held tools, which does not mean that it is not difficult and a lot of experience is needed (i.e. it is not something that anyone can do).

Source: something very like this was my father second job from the '60's to the '90's, while the largest part was architectural models (buildings) he made also quite a few "mechanical" models (not in PVC, mainly in wood and/or tin/metal, though perspex/plexiglass was also largely used).

Comparably complex/detailed projects were only a few ones that I can remember, because the cost (number of hours needed for this kind of builds) was rarely affordable by the customer.

I remember (in the late 70's or maybe early 80's!) a model of a set of solar panels mounted on a circular rail that could tilt and rotate to follow the sun, fully working (a strong lamp was used to simulate the position of the sun and the model "followed" it).

Still all he had in his workshop were three or four small table saws, a couple alternating ones, three or four electric drills, a small electric router, more files, planers, pliers and manual tools than you can imagine, some soldering irons and little more.

I often helped him after school, I was usually tasked to make "repetitive" (simple) pieces, he would prepare a sort of template and/or show me how to make the specific little component and I would then make them or help him with assembling the more complex ones.
I would like to sort it by how common this issue is, so I don't look for the top of documention for edge cases or very old/rare issues.

What's disingenuous, is people in traffic complaining there's traffic. It's sounds like you got "yours" and then you wanna kick down the ladder behind you.
