Systematic problems are solved by political action. Political consensus to change the status quo emerges from a some group of society taking individual responsibility, and then demanding/voting that society changes to their model.

If no one ever takes the shitty public transit, how will politicians know that they should invest in better transit. Individuals pay the price of taking that shitty public transit and then demonstrate/campaign for better.

If fast fashion is to be ended, you don't keep buying the latest outfits from The Gap every year. You individually pay high prices for the lasting products from niche stores. Then you use your demand as material to go campaign publicly to change norms and/or ask politicians to tax/regulate fast fashion items.

Sure, there are some places where politicians can judge general sentiment and make laws ahead of public sentiment change, but in a lot of cases its the other way around.

It is the day after Google's 25th birthday, where we celebrated not only 25 years of ruining the Internet, but also the 289 products they brought to market and then unceremoniously dumped away.

Power plants are rated in power so I chose that, but maybe energy content is better.
This is a bummer, I use Jamboard (the software not the hardware) to draw diagrams during Zoom calls and send the link to participants after. I mostly use a Wacom tablet to do the actual drawing.

Any good free alternatives out there ?

Edit: The proposed alternatives they mention in the update (FigJam, Lucidspark, and Miro) really don't fit that workflow.
I wager that over the next century, more human lives will be harmed by efforts to counter climate change than will be by the changing climate itself.

The WMO estimates[0] that over the 50 years from 1970 to 2019, global climate-related deaths dropped to one-third. Not one-third per capita; one-third in absolute number of deaths, even as the world population more than doubled. This can be mostly attributed to the rising standard of living in developing countries, through the use of cheap energy from fossil fuels, which lets people better master their environment.

On the other side, we have the example of Sri Lanka, which banned chemical fertilizer (produced from fossil fuels) and pesticides partly out of environmental concerns[1], and is now undergoing widespread hunger.

>I took this to mean

Silly me took the clearly defined term literal.

>Honestly your response here feels like I'm talking to the Men in Black and you want me to just wipe my understanding of the real world.

Claiming racial categories to be racist is nonsense. You quoting long since removed videos with bad sounding placeholder titles doesnt show that.

>Where did illegal come from here?

From the report, its what we are discussing here.

>when it was removed in 2019.

I am glad we that we could come to an agreement that the study is referencing something that doesnt exist anymore. Might explain why the article is flagged.

I really hope you can see how ludicrous it is to make these kind of claims. There are some serious concerns with the structure of the porn industry and exploitation of sex workers, especially with the videos produced for freesites, derailing with these hyperboles is extremely counterproductive. Without credibility there is no basis for communication. There is no room for overstating for effect.

edit: Even if you could take the report serious (no), arguing with the state of pre 2019 and presenting it as current is disingenuous and shows a clear lack of credibility.
Wait no- comments like this are what I enjoy. I personally struggle with the whole dichotomy of "marketing led" writing and then balancing that with just spending 2,000 words talking through test frameworks and cases. Maybe for a future blogpost, but the idea of stateful state tracking is a rabbit hole I can get buried under.

To address your main point, I think Git is in the same camp of Python's origins. Powerful despite the creator's initial intentions. Where like it or not, it becomes a powerful mental API to interact with domains. (Git -> Changesets, Python -> Notebooks/Repls)

When I was working on the material for the feature, I kept on trying to find a parallel that fit within people's mental model without it being a leaky abstraction. (Of course my colleague helps make me sound sane.) Other ideas to get people's attention was talking a bit about YAML, but to your point- I hate the bashing that most DevOps companies do that say: K8s is EVIL!!11!!!. Or end DevOps11!!!!!! - it's a series of practices that help you for an outcome, in the same way how Git, SVN, Mercurial, help you and a team track changes.

Changesets is just one way to maintain a production/infra practice a suite of recommendations that a team can adopt.

Thanks for commenting and I hope it was an interesting read :3

I don’t think it’s that radical in a sense but trying to argue it is.

When you think about it though, we kind of know that e.g. the founders of the U.S. had some sort of guilty conscience going on with regards to slavery. So we have folks like Washington freeing the slaves in his will, which of course his wife walked back on, and he probably had an idea that she might do that too.

And yet people are able to jump through mental hoops to justify it anyway. We tell ourselves, well it was okay during their time. They probably said the same thing to themselves too. One day I’m sure our ancestors will curse us for bringing about the environmental disaster that was the end of days.

Yes, there are physical facts, most moral relativists are physical realists.

But that is also exactly where the moral relativism originates. You _do_ have physical laws, you _do not_ have moral laws. You can _test_ physical laws, you _can not test_ moral laws.

Once you axiomatically ordain some set of rules as "moral truths" or some measure of "moral truth" then the physical apparatus comes in, and you get to use it. But you have to pick the framework of morality first!
Give me a lookup table of 50 petabytes, let me seed that LUT with billions of files, and I, too, can write an amazingly efficient compression algorithm.
I'd be surprised if reselling through authorized sellers isn't much simpler and problem-free than selling them directly.

I also expect that using resellers ensures better odds of protecting the brand/project goodwill. Resellers deal with problems like "I paid a ton of cash for a board and it arrived late and/or broken". Support alone is a nightmare, and I recall that raspberry Pi struggled with PR when they started out. I vaguely recall Liz Upton being behind some ill-advised episodes that didn't improved Raspberry Pi's image and would get anyone other PR person sacked.
You are constantly exposed to the right people, whether you recognize that fact or not.
"The next phase of digital whiteboarding for Google Workspace"

A classic Google cancellation title if I've ever seen one.
There used to be an app that would scan the ip and mac addresses on the network that were already connected to the internet. You could then change your settings to one of the mac addresses and when they were done you'd get the connection to yourself.

I used to travel a lot for work and just refused to pay for WiFi. This was good in airports and coffeeshops when you still had to pay to connect.

Now it's hardly needed, but I could see how it would be helpful where there's still a cost to connect.

You need the phone upside down in your pocket to plug it in and a new USB headset to boot. The Apple and Samsungs of the world in their ubiquity have changed the ecosystem.

It's not surprising that if you make using my old headset difficult, I and millions of others will move to buying a wireless alternative — they're counting on it. That's what happened and the sales numbers mirror that. People throw away way more audio equipment today than they ever have.

The fact that these Sony earbuds happen to be replaceable is quite a bit different than them being _designed_ as user-replicable. You found a community member that uploaded a video showing you how to do it, now show me the manufacturer's documentation explaining how it's done.

This exists for watches and cameras, but we have been lulled into throwing battery operated things away as a cultural migration pattern and Fairphone is aware and complicit in this indirectly and unnecessarily.

Yes, that one is weird... Using the device to set volume usually helps get it "unstuck" in my case, but to be honest, I didn't investigate more than that. Annoying, but easily fixable (for me).

People have been reasoning about this stuff for thousands of years and SWEs act like they can just make shit up. Same for psychology of mind and consciousness.

This doesn't need to solve the issue of plastic to be a good way of diverting some away from landfill or reusing them. It's a type of reply/thinking I see on HN a lot, along the lines of "well this doesn't solve the entire issue", incremental progress and partial solutions are good, trying to come up with the uber solution to solve the entirety of the climate and waste issues just leads to analysis paralysis and solutions too large to effectively implement.

Does that mean I'll need to start a session locally before I can connect via RDP or will it be like Windows RDP where it starts a session on-demand?
Having kids outside marriage is frowned upon in general in any civilization, and marriage correlates strongly with having children. Also a contemptuous view of "housewife" shows a disregard for how demanding motherhood is (or fatherhood is, for that matter). This is a worldwide problem, save maybe for Africa, something we also see in the liberal West. People have just become comfortable and hedonistic. Having children is not comfortable. It is demanding. It requires thinking of someone other than yourself (as does marriage, also affected by this mentality). Given the choice between a nicer house and another child, many today in the West would choose the house. Consumerism, hedonistic views of sex, keeping up with the Joneses, all these contribute to reduced birth rates. Japan is clearly about as demoralized as the West, whatever the precise causes.
Indeed. To remotely manage or service a computer, RDP is more suited for the purpose.

Climate and weather are cyclic, not linear.
I originally started with one of those semi-DIY companies (not Unbound, but similar) where they build a site plan, give you a permit packet, and offer to sell you the hardware in a kit, but I found it to be not worthwhile. They mismeasured the roof via poor quality areal photography, and the BOM they came up with was low to midrange hardware with a large markup.

I just rolled it myself and found suppliers for the panels, inverters, racking, did the roof CAD layout & branch structure, and permitting (single line diagrams + some paperwork) myself. Saved a bunch of money and ended up with a nicer install that way.
Indeed, it translates into and out of JSON quite well, and is much more human readable. A much much saner format than YAML. However, EDN is less hospitable to non-Lisp code blobs and heredocs, which limits its adoption IMO.
There are reasons to prefer a Pi over a used mini PC, but it is not reliability. The fact is that with Pis or PCs, _if_ you're still running after a week, you're highly, highly, likely to survive past the point of usefulness.

Reasons to prefer a pi over a mini PC - easy access to GPIO pins; small(er) form factor; power efficiency; lower weight; still cost if you can work with zeros.

Reasons to prefer a mini PC over a Pi - price to performance ratio is often far, far better; size is "good enough" for people just after a small computer (rather than an electronics project, POC, etc); you are, in fact, reducing ewaste.

In short, if you just need something to run Home Assistant or Plex on ProxMox or similar, you would find more reward in a mini PC than a Pi, particularly in performance.

The bias at play is that people see "old" and equate it with "bad performance". That heuristic only works when comparing like for like - yesterday's mini-PC to today's mini-PC.
Silicon Valley was an underrated show full of such jems.
My job is all in on google. Gmail, meets, gcp, everything. Never heard of jamboard. We'd probably have been using it too, if we ever knew it existed! How is it that closure announcements are when we find out about these things? Especially from a company whose revenue comes from advertising?
I'm in Canada. It is a bit of an awkward topic, but turns out half of families I know had some sort of fertility treatment. Whether just some pills to help out with hormones or sperm count, or IUI, or IVF. It's covered by provincial insurance and is a medical procedure like any other.

As our fertility challenges increase (from biological issues like decrease in male sperm counts and fertility to social ones like longer student loans, getting together later, and strong emergence of non-cis-hetero families), it seems increasingly a must to preserve a modern society at least in the Interim. But yeah, people don't / didn't talk about it much. A lot of older generations or particularly zealously religious still don't - we like to find exciting ways to taboo and isolate each other :-/.

"Men in Japan do fewer hours of housework and child care than in any of the world’s richest nations. That keeps women from getting better jobs and holds back the economy."

This is actually a good idea. I have a hard time believing it actually performs well though
In cases where the Wi-Fi is provided as a value-add or is bought via another channel than the Wi-Fi network itself, I think you can just generate one-time WPA Enterprise credentials, with a QR code to facilitate data entry?

In case of in-flight Wi-Fi, the credentials/QR code can be printed on the boarding pass, or available in the app (the app caches it in advance while it's still on the ground, so when in the air you can use those credentials to connect).

This doesn't cover 100% of use-cases but it would at least cover a big one (a significant amount of public Wi-Fi is "value add" to another service - whether restaurants, hotels, flights, etc where there's an existing channel to provide one-off wi-Fi credentials over), it's a shame nobody deploys this.
I agree. I find working with templated YAML so cumbersome that I ended up creating a tool (Cels - https://github.com/pacha/cels) because of it. I like Jsonnet and Starlark but in practice I don’t usually need a new programming language for most use cases. Most of the time I just want to create a base document and apply patches to do modifications. That simplifies everything a lot.
The experience of writing pure YAML is actually not that bad (a couple of things about the format are really questionable, but it is workable). I find that problems appear from the complexity of the solutions you have to add to adapt documents to different environments.
I don't think the major universities - the ones that could have publishing houses that matter - are too broke to be able to keep the publishing house running.
I think the point is that if you're a moral relativist across the range of morals encountered in human societies you're hardly a moral relativist at all because from the space of all possible moral positions you've accepted as equally valid the tiny subset that have organically originated from the extreme restraints of human culture. It's far rarer to see moral relativists for example who think the moral positions of serial killers and humanitarians are equally valid, but even that range is small across the landscape of all possible moral positions.
I'm fairly certain that our local library has a 3d printer. They are definitely trying to take on different ways for people to learn and gather information, but wood/metal working equipment seems like it would be a liability nightmare.

> Most of the information is digitized, which has better reach.

Previously, when university libraries had books and paper journals, anyone could read them. Now, members of the general public are not licensed to read electronic content there.

So digitization has reduced the reach of the content, not increased it.
That's pretty impressive. Certainly helps bridge some of the gap lost from remote 2D video collaboration/discussion.
My PM will be in shambles. How will we ever do retrospectives now???
Saying someone is ignorant is not saying someone is dumb. Ignorance can be remedied with information, being dumb cannot. One is meant as a personal indictment of intelligence, the other is just saying you may not have the right perspective. If you took personal slight from the phrasing, it wasn’t intended.

There is no root cause claim there so you’re not saying much, other than strawmanning. If you look at a modern economy car, it weighs more than economy cars of the past or non-approved models for the US, despite using lighter weight materials for comparable components. So where does the extra weight come from? Mandatory safety features and options. That’s all the “disproportionate” statement is saying. It also wasn’t a comment to you, so a bit cringey that you try to search for any weak handhold to make your point.

You also picked a different comment to illustrate the context rather than your actual post, so I’m not sure your point. But it certainly lends credence to the idea of you moving the goalposts just to avoid being wrong.

I’ll give you more perspective since you missed the point. If the data contains zero it means it ranges from saying the US cars are safer to saying they are less safe. Zero is contained because it’s within this range. In other words, you can’t make strong claims at all. Again, data literacy is important.
