Flights being cancelled? Sure, that happens to anyone operating mechanical equipment with required crews (and duty limits) and in variable weather.

I've never felt jerked around with any of the majors when it came to rebooking travel. They can't conjure up an empty seat that doesn't exist, but I've also never been required to pay a higher fare for them to take me on the itinerary that I originally booked.

Delta in particular I think is quite good at recovery from irregular ops (at least for their higher tier frequent fliers), but on the few instances with other carriers, I expect (and have received) decent and fee-free service when the airline cancelled a flight or missed a connection due to airline fault. I fully expect to have a crappy experience on Spirit whether or not they cancel the original flight.

Bureaus of various flavors are delegated their authority by Congress. It was done to let specialists in the various fields make rules according to their domain knowledge. They're not elected so they, theoretically, don't have a political agenda they try and fulfill at the cost of their domain.

And honestly, even if these laws had to be rubber stamped by congress or the judiciary, they would be deferring to the very same specialists.

As an aside, in our Democratic Republic, laws are also created by judges, who are not generally elected into their positions.

We are doing very well at replacing CO2 emitting power plants with wind and solar in some places. NIMBY is the major limit right now, so there is plenty you can do about that. Anything you do locally helps scale production of clean energy over dirty.

Electric cars are coming which are a big improvement (fueled by above wind/solar). No changes needed. Though most of us would find our lives improved by the better if we replaced cars with great transit (not to be confused with the terrible transit most of us are familiar with) even though it would be a behavior change.
I don't believe the person you replied to meant to convey that such a change will be positive or negative for him, but merely that the status quo will likely change in the coming decades

"BSD compiler toolchain" is just a GNU toolchain that is a decade plus old.

It will be probably twenty years before someone programming on BSD will have some code wrongly deleted as unreachable because it comes after realloc(ptr, 0).

And, that's obviously fun, because with LLMs, you have the LLM itself which cost hundreds of thousands in compute to train, but given you have the weights it's eminently fine-tunable. So it's actually not really like Linux - rather it's closer to something like a car, where you had no hope of making it in the first place but now you have it, maybe you can modify it.

And we'll continue to for a long while I bet. I honestly wish that the end result was either a spectacular fiery apocalypse or an utopia where AGI figures it all out and fixes the problems somehow because that would at least be definitive.

But the reality is that we're mobilizing just enough effort to keep ourselves from the worst consequences, and also not nearly enough to prevent widespread damage that's already deteriorating quality of life below what we had yesterday. A banal depressing existence stretching into the pointless forever as we continue to scrape by.

>Apple Watches aren't free either, the point is access to the tech.

It's not the people's fault they loose access to the tech if Apple hasn't paid the ones who invented it. Apple also has access to the tech, they need to pay for it, and not sell people tech they don't have rights over.
If you are a lite traveler .. fly with clothes in book bag then Spirit is the way to go and it's cheap. If you expect same experience you get from the others ..free checked luggage, refund or credit if you missed your flight, free peanuts and a soda, quick user interface / experience to book a flight, customer service rep to talk with and possibly free wifi you shouldn't bother with Spirit (spend more money for those things).

As a lite traveler Spirit fits my needs and I have more money in my pocket for my trip(s). As well I'm off the plane with my book bag and out of the airport quickly! I always get an aisle seat up front.
I'm guessing based on the OPs location, there is a very real possibility of being overrun by Russia if it weren't for America(or NATO). So this isn't some person shouting "America is #1" without having any idea of the outside world, it seems like a very pragmatic preference based on the alternative if the preference wasn't available.

Let's pose a hypothetical, let's say they are bad, but it takes us 25 years to figure that out. Take asbestos for example. What exactly do we do when it's suddenly too late? Is preventative action for a possibility not worth it?

We do tons of stuff to prevent extremely rare possibilities from happening, why is doing something for "microplastics" suddenly not a big deal?

> It's really easier for me, individually to try and deal with the consequences than to have to set up and supervise a system that might help me if I screw up.

Aye, there's the rub: you're you: smart, handsome, successful. You're intelligent enough to know what you're doing or at least to figure out how to fix something if you do happen to make a mistake.

Conversely, I'm me: the average user. It's a miracle I can think (for a broad definition of think) and breathe at the same time. For the one time in a decade that my one brain cell overexerts itself and I try to do something 'clever' it's really helpful if the system can limit the amount of damage I cause. And I think that for the average pseudo-sentient troglodyte like myself it's better to have a system which is awkward to use but hard to break rather than something that gives enough rope.

It's kinda like the difference between a programming language with manual memory management and something like Rust (with the borrow checker) or Lisp (with garbage collection). For someone with a modicum of intelligence C is fine, but the majority of people are better off with a language that keeps the sharp objects locked safely (if you'll pardon the pun) away.
It depends on the audience. If the PR isn't working on you, it could be bad... but in this case, I think it is just that you're not the target audience.

As you note, it's very well researched. The problem is that "good" research showing the negative effects of climate changes has been around for decades, but simplistic disinformation that argues either 1) we can ignore the science or 2) we can take our time has been winning in terms of awareness and public opinion for all that time. The challenge is to make the direness of our situation understandable enough so that people will feel compelled to take action NOW, rather than sooner... or later.
I'm not sure we are living in a unipolar world anymore. We are, at the very least, heading towards a multipolar world with the US, China, and Russia as the three great powers.

Definitely not, though I was just demonstrating the kind of cashflow you can get from a (default) risk free bond.

The days of buying an index and selling 4%/year being your best strategy are past. At least until/when yields decline again.

If you're strategic and barbell your portfolio somewhat, you can generate around 10% with moderate risk (and this is 10% distributions/dividends, not including any capital gains).

The best outcome for retirees is to build a solid income portfolio and then hope that inflation really does subside and valuation multiples compress again, which would leave you with significant capital gains while portfolio income is preserved.

If inflation resurges or remains moderately high, capital gains will be more limited.

Voters have no power if they just stick to orderly voting every X years.

If they start boycotting and sabotaging established interests, to the point that they cannot be ignored or suppressed, they do have (collective) power.

Democracy is participation. The less you participate (not just in voting - in party meetings, demos, etc), the less power you have. Elites will always exist and do their own thing, but they can be forced to do the right thing by applying enough external force.

Looks like WSJ has another dumb RTO policy that makes life miserable for everyone, likely without actually any real benefit to the company.
That's because it's supposed to be a doom article. Nobody has any idea, it's not something you can quantify (well you can, but if 99 of the 100 simulations say nothing and 1 says we all die, what does that mean?). And when it does happen it will largely be too late to do anything. Which is why we get doom articles like this. It's purpose is to attempt to get people to care.

The earth could just fix itself. It is very capable of doing so, and has done so in the past. It may not be able to sustain us anymore, but life will live on in some form.

That's not the way legal cases went. Indeed, they went all over the place.

That's the reason you see "IANAL" disclaimers all over the internet. Legal advice from non-lawyers can be problematic in many ways. Some jurisdictions, although not where I live, you can even go to jail for giving bad legal advice without being a licensed lawyer.
I understand that you're passionate about this issue, but please don't just reply to all of my posts with essentially the same reply, especially as an interjection.
Is it? The source for these things tends to be from the waste of the things society throws away after using once. If we weren't comfortable with it, we'd make changes to make the discomfort go away. If we feel some discomfort but choose to ignore it, we're lazy.
If we're continuing the analogy, the compute required to turn the source into binaries costs millions of dollars. Not a license fee for the compiler, but the actual time on a computer.

I've found that learning entirely new fields of study to be easier as I get older (although I'm "only" 33); I think going to college straight after high school is a disservice to those of us whose brains developed more slowly than others. Long-term thinking and impulse control are some of the last things to develop.

Is this a good faith question? Or is it intended as a "gotcha"? I'm fine to spend a few minutes if you find this sort of thing fun.

I think I could, given the universe of people P, a set of belief frameworks E and a mapping B(belief) from P -> set(E). I would then try to say that my prior about B is that there's no E shared by all P.

Put another way, I think it's very likely there's nothing you can say that will convince everyone.

This would be an overly simplified model of reality because merely stating a valid argument in framework E held by some P is not sufficient to "convince" them. Also "epistemological frameworks" don't really exist, they're just a shorthand we can use to describe clusters of beliefs that often go together. Lots of other things about the argument matter, like how complex it is (reduces trust) or who is presenting it. Also, a given argument might be "valid" in multiple belief systems at once. Maybe we could add in the idea that a particular statement of an argument (call it A) which means different things in E1 and E2 is really two different arguments A1 and A2. How far you want to go with modelling is a matter of taste.

Do we disagree? Where? Maybe we can find a mutually acceptable model if you are interested.

If your overall point is that often people write complete garbage in the shape of a formal argument and then act like they've "proven" something - I 100% agree with you. We can't "mathematically prove" non-trivial things about reality but we can construct models and use tools to reason about them. I do believe that the activity of stating your model and then using tools can be helpful.

Nassau County, for sure. I know there's at least one town that is a known breast cancer hotspot.

I was attending a gathering, about two years ago, that had a lot of folks (about 40), attending remotely. Mostly women; many immuno-compromised.

I remember looking at the remote attendees screen, and counting the women that were currently getting, or had just gotten over, cancer treatment.

I counted six. I also knew of a couple of men, sitting in the room with me, that had had treatment, over a year, previously.

I don't know what the average is supposed to be, but I think 6/60 (10%), is a wee bit high.

> But individual action has always been meaningless. What matters is collective action.

I think this actually misses the key point.

1. Every person only has control of their individual action, and has to find a way for it to be meaningful.

2. Individual action can't meaningfully address a problem like plastic pollution by acting against it directly.

3. The individual actions which do matter are mostly those which drive collective action. That means individuals need to learn to organize and do the work of organizing. It's hard work though.

4. People should be trained not to agonize over every individual food choice, or to rage at home about how bad things are, but to organize. Learn to do it, learn to teach it, and do the work.

Things will be much worse than any projection, because by the very nature of Science, any and all projections must be backed up with verified, reproducible data. This typically leaves 99.999+% of all data on the cutting room floor, and what little that gets used is so conservative in nature that any extrapolations that arise from it ends up vastly undershooting what actually happens.

Right now, we are already projecting massive issues in the latter half of the century, including chaotic weather leading to world-wide parallel famines that could easily eviscerate modern infrastructure, collapse international trade, and even cause a significant collapse in the human population. Lethally high wet-bulb temperatures will make large swaths of the equatorial regions uninhabitable for significant chunks of the year, forcing the migration of billions into temperate zones. This alone will set us up for massively lethal conflicts between residents and refugees, as the refugees overwhelm all available resources in an apocalyptic manner.

Yeah, this is the conservative, pie-in-the-sky forecast. In reality, it’s going to be much, much worse.

I strongly suspect that most people born after 1990 are going to experience a brutish and painfully short latter-most ⅓ of their lives.

Fairly frequently android alternatives are discussed here, but I've not tried them yet. None of them are without flaws.
