"Up to 5.3 metres / 17 feet."

From the article:

"West Antarctica is already the continent’s largest contributor to global sea level rise and has enough ice to raise sea levels by an average of 5.3 meters, or more than 17 feet. It’s home to the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the “Doomsday glacier,” because its collapse could raise sea levels by several feet, forcing coastal communities and low-lying island nations to either build around sea level rise or abandon these places"
About 0.2 degrees C.

Your second question is reminiscent of Baldrick asking how the war started. Do you mean "above what average?" The average of the last few years.
> Israel killed over 1000 Palestinians from 2018 until before Operation al-Aqsa Flood. There's nothing really unusual about it from.that context. And Israel us currently massacring civilians in Gaza every day.

Hamas makes no distinction between their soldiers and civilians deaths. And given their blatant lies about the supposed IDF attack on a hospital this week (actually caused by a Palestinian rocket which failed) and impossibly high and fast death count, and the whole being a terrorist organization, they can't be trusted.

Israel attempts to avoid civilians casualties via roof knocks and phone messages. The only exceptions here tend to be people storming the border. You are comparing that against designed, intentional murder, rape, and torture of civilians by Hamas.

> Israelis murdered people on an aid flotilla a few years ago, and are evicting West Bank Palestinians from their homes with settlers, as the Israelis parade around the al-Aqsa mosque.

That flotilla was trying to break a blockade and had been warned against it. When the ships were boarded, there was violent resistance, which resulted in some of the fighters being killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_flotilla_raid

Evicting Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank is obviously vile behavior. It's hard to get a liberal government elected in Israel to stop it given the state of the conflict.

About the mosque: It was the holiest site in Judaism for a thousand years before Islam existed.
I just used their pmtiles tool to grab a map of just the area around Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco.

I grabbed the latest macOS Go binary from https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles/releases

I found a rough bounding box using http://bboxfinder.com/#37.373977,-122.593346,37.570977,-122....

Then I ran this:

pmtiles extract https://build.protomaps.com/20231023.pmtiles hmb.pmtiles \
--bbox=-122.593346,37.373977,-122.400055,37.570977

The result was a 2MB hmb.pmtiles file which, when dragged onto the "drop zone" on https://maps.protomaps.com/ showed me a detailed zoomable map, with full OpenStreetMap metadata (airport polygons etc) - all the way down to individual building outlines level.

All that in 2MB! I'm really impressed.

>They lost billions in Iraq

You're absolutely correct, but I just want to emphasize the scale: trillion. That's over a thousand billions. It's an amount that's so huge it's truly hard to comprehend and visualize.

One option would be to just treat everyone. Every commercial pilot could have to complete 20 hours of therapy a year, with strict confidentiality so they can be open without jeopardizing their career. Or two mandatory hours per month with a psychologist, or whatever scheme works best.
> On the contrary, by being the only one who cares, I got promotions and salary raises.

This is definitely not always the case. I can think of cases in my own career where this attitude was actually detrimental to my success at the company.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to frame this problem as "we want to tax billionaires because they should pay more tax". While a small minority of people do actually feel that way, realistically the context is just about every government in the world is running a deficit nearly all the time and just about no one wants to lose programs they care about so we need some method of addressing that shortfall. Taxing the people who can most afford it, especially in ways that generate significant government revenue seems like the best solution to many.
> I assume there's a jealousy component.

Really?

I somehow doubt that. I'm not jealous of Bezos, Musk, etc. With my income, I have money left over after I buy the essentials and the non-essentials. I honestly have no idea what I would even do with a billion dollars except give almost all of it away. I don't want a mansion. I don't want a million dollar sports car. I don't want to pay a captain a full time salary to sit in a marina waiting on me to decide to take a cruise. I don't want any of that. I don't.

What I want if for kids to have free lunches and a great education. I want homeless to be taken in and given shelter and food. I wan't everyone to be able to just go see a doctor on a regular basis. Those are things I want. And the wealthy are keeping those things from happening. Either by electing (or being elected) people who won't do it or just not paying fair amount of taxes.
It has many different breakdowns, including why they marry, why they break up, and what they feel could have saved the relationship. It's more comprehensive than just divorce.

>Like, if infidelity lead you to never want to look at the other person again, you could just carry out the rest of your life pretending they don't exist.

Sure, not all infidelity leads to divorce, some stay together for the kids, others forgive or drop it, others "get even" and then forgive/drop it. Infidelity also isn't illegal and open relationships are a thing, so you can indeed remain legally married and proceed to date aroind as if you are single.

But general societal pressure dictate that if you want to properly separate you divorce. Which is probably why the top two reason come from not being a good partner (i.e. Being unable or unwilling to take care of the family or not being faithful).

Polygamy is also a problem: because while there's no real punishment for it in society for engaging in polygamy, you are legally not allowed to have multiple spouses. If you ever imagine re-marrying you want to get that divorce over with ASAP. And the process can take a while.

Itsme is one of the best apps I use on a daily basis, I understand it is starting to expand internationally, I suspect it will be extremely successful. Another good innovation is PEPPOL.
From that link:

In response to the incident and the circumstances of the co-pilot's involvement, aviation authorities in some countries implemented new regulations that require the presence of two authorised personnel in the cockpit at all times.

So if a pilot has to visit the lavatory, a flight attendant or some other qualified person has to replace the pilot on the flight deck (not in actual duty of course, just not leaving a single person alone there).
If you're interested in similar approaches to the space, I've been slowly migrating some of my blog content + structured data onto Keystatic (https://keystatic.com/). Very similar philosophy; used structured flat data, backed by Git, but with an admin interface.
There was also the (quite hard to find) 2.88 MB floppies, which actually had software support in the various OSes at the time.

LANs themselves had also come down in costs so even ad-hoc computers near each other often had Ethernet or similar, so the demand never really picked up.

Those who needed big transfers offsite used Zip (or Jaz, those things died like flies) until CD-Rs became cheap enough.

And then Apple killed it all.
> There are around 2,500 billionaires in the world right now, with a combined wealth of over £10 trillion. Just a fraction of that money is enough to, say, end global poverty, eradicate malaria and re-freeze the Arctic.

Does anyone know if any of these claims (about what we could do with a fraction of £10 trillion) are remotely true? I highly doubt we could come close to ending global poverty by simply throwing £10 trillion at the problem. Re-freezing the Arctic also seems technically infeasible but I don't know much about it. Eradicating malaria sounds somewhat more realistic I guess?

Etsy makes the same amount of money regardless which seller you order from, so they have little motivation to prevent sabotage amongst sellers
I was on this flight, I sat in the back and did not witness the initial events however I heard the pilot say we were diverting the flight to PDX and shortly after the jumpseat pilot was led to back of the plane.

I thought he was having a heart attack, or possibly diabetic because the flight attendants were telling him it was "going to be okay" and to "take deep breaths", the guy was acting scared and non-violent.

The flight attendant later announced it was a "medical emergency" which I thought it was weird because they never asked if there was a doctor on board. The pilot later explained that there was a "disturbance in the cockpit and we will likely board a new plane". Finally after we landed he was escorted by police.

I don't know whats a more intractable problem making the government more efficient or taxing "wealth".

I'm open to both but my gut instinct tells me that there would be less unintended side effects by just making the government more efficient.

However, I can imagine massive problems trying to do either.

In theory, a wealth tax is a perfect tax because it's a tax that incurs minimal deadweight loss. This is why lots of economists are proponents of land value taxes. The problem is that any sort of wealth that isn't tied to land or a commodity is completely subjective, so the ultra rich will always be able to find some loophole to any practical application of a wealth tax.
Would you have an issue if that someone subsequently refused to part with 0.001% of their thankyou notes in order to save someone else's life?

This is a terrible analogy because it captures the good reason why there are billionaires (we reward them for building something useful) and none of the problems that come with it (wealth and power inequality, economic externalities, etc.)
I did the same, switched back to npm in 2018/19 as I saw the majority of packages I was using doing the same.

Ultimately this is the consistent problem with the way we deal with mental health problems in general. The solution is to not let it get to crisis levels by proactively addressing problems the same way we deal with physical issues. Imagine if when someone sprained their ankle we demanded they keep walking on it until it rips, and only then do we try to do something about it (ineptly, of course).

Similar to that quote, it is self-evident. If you can be punished for stuff that you index (as a search engine), you will start to self-censor to avoid punishment.

Depends on a percentage, isn't it? Few people are quibbling about paying +/- 1% here. On the flip side, I heard of a guy who sold a business for 10M. He moved to Florida for a bit to avoid paying New York 10% - 1 million. When we're talking about 10%+ of your income, it begins to matter.

From the article:

> In England, which in this respect was typical of Europe, from the reign of Edward III in the Middle Ages until well into the 17th century, sumptuary laws dictated what colour and type of clothing, furs, fabrics, and trims were allowed to persons of various ranks or incomes.

That said, I would wonder how strictly these were enforced. Samuel Pepys' Diary would imply not very, at least towards the end; Sam's a rich commoner, but doesn't seem to hold back when it comes to fancy clothes (anyone who doubts that men were into fashion back then should give it a read...)

I think that quote by itself is easy to misinterpret. Here's the next 2 paragraphs:

"However, its conclusions do agree with previous research in the region, he told the Science Media Center, giving “confidence that this study needs to be taken in consideration for policymakers.”"

"Naughten and her colleagues acknowledged their study has limits — predicting future rates of melting in West Antarctica is very complex and it’s impossible to account for every possible future outcome. But, looking at the range of scenarios, the report authors said they were confident the melting of ice shelves is now unavoidable."
Then maybe "Connection reset by peer"? Or "Broken pipe".
Corporate profits are taxed the same with or without dividends, so obviously it's untrue to suggest that a company decision not to pay dividends doesn't reduce tax take.

Share prices are typically lower when firms suspend dividend payments due to financial issues. But ceteris paribus, a firm with a $100b pile of cash has a higher share price than one that disbursed that cash to shareholders. It's now quite fashionable to not pay dividends at all (even though the company is valued based entirely on the net present value of the future dividends investors believe it could pay) and to use alternatives like buybacks if they to return money to shareholders. Why do this? Because the different tax treatment generally favours shareholders.

>> Literally everything is not unique to marriage, or made _worse_ by marriage.

The words "literally" and"everything" have real meanings. Maybe go through "literally everything". The first two on the list, for example, and consider many different jurisdictions.

The cherry picked example is even wrong. In many jurisdictions couples are legally compelled to go to marriage counseling or similar. Australia has it for couples with kids, several US states have it. So there are all the regular reasons to try to resolve things, plus added reasons.

The anecdote is nothing more than that. No one is claiming marriage is a cure all for all relationships. No one is claiming only marriages are durable relationships. But the idea that there is no practical reason to get married is absurd. Just making a loud, expensive, public announcement that "I'll do x" is known to make it more likely that you'll do x.

We more or less did that too. We generate typed wrappers for every handler, and then we manually implement the internal logic for each endpoint. I doubt reliably generating 100% of the logic is possible, but even if it is, I would guess it's more work to do that than to do it manually.

For anyone who didn't see the '80s light sf movie, The Last Starfighter, the premise is appealing and classic: (minor SPOILERS) young adult kid stuck living and working in a trailer park, wants more, there's a Starfighter video arcade game set up in the park, one day he goes for the record on the game, and turns out the game was a recruitment tool for something much bigger than his humble trailer park, and he passed, rises to subsequent challenges, and becomes a hero.
