You can have a carbon tax with a border adjustment. If goods are imported from a country without an equivalent (or stronger) carbon tax, then those goods would be subject to a fee at the border. The EU is considering is a system like this, which could be very impactful since they're the 2nd largest economy in the world.

If the US, the world's largest economy, also implemented such a system, then there would undoubtedly be a large global impact in reducing emissions. Creating the political will to do so is difficult of course. Citizens' Climate Lobby has been working on trying to pass a carbon fee with a border adjustment since 2007, though unfortunately with increasing political polarization it has been difficult.
I wouldn't rule out the possibility though — political change can be very slow in the US, but CCL is clearly a group with extreme patience and a focused goal, but is willing to be pragmatic and advocate for any improvements as opposed to taking nothing. Admittedly I haven't volunteered for them in a quite some time, but in the past (at least at where I was at the time), the people I worked with seemed level headed and goal oriented — they may not have always personally liked the Representatives or staff that they were meeting, but they kept personal opinions to themselves and were laser focused on trying to convince them of joining the Climate Solutions Caucus and sponsoring a carbon fee. Perhaps the EU looking to implement one with a border fee adjustment may be the push the US needs to make it happen here.
Which outcomes in particular are you referring to? Wealth inequality? Because I don't think that's what the parent comment meant.

One Youtuber used a phrase that stuck with me: "Manufactured E-Waste". That is, the item is so poorly made, with such terrible security or electrical fire hazard, that no one should use it. The item was created new, but can never safely deliver any value to anyone. It goes directly from the factory to the trash heap.

Anyone who knows anything at all about suicide prevention is unsurprised by this. We know that observation does not work because staff cannot maintain it. This is true whether it's 15 minute obs, 5 minute obs, permanent line of sight obs, arms length obs, two to one arms length obs: they do not work.

There are countless examples of staff in hospital, on duty, doing obs, knowing their patient is at increased risk of suicide, falling asleep.
First of all, there are no more spots.

Second, if there are spots, they're 2x the price they were in 2019.
Agreed, but how is that Bitcoin's problem? Is it Bitcoin's fault our politicians are so corrupt they do not want to put up taxes on carbon emissions and fossil fuels?

This is what I find annoying. If Bitcoin were to disappear tomorrow, we would still run on non-renewables, and pollute our soil and waters. Why isn't this the primary concern, and we look at a single industry downstream that is completely independent on how clean the energy it uses, and in fact, is more profitable with renewables as I mentioned in a sibling comment?

It is not dissimilar to the misplaced hope to reduce the catastrophic disaster of microplastics in our water stream by banning plastic straws. Or demonising meat consumption when it is such a drop in the ocean compared to all our energy and pollution problems, caused by transportation, heavy industries and corruption.

The only things people really care about these days is what fits easily in a Twitter post of fake outrage, without stopping to see the bigger picture.
Arguably, all I have are a bunch of unfinished projects.

Some are just "on hold", the subject still interests me, though the passion has dwindled.

Some are just dead, they served their purpose.

Some are "in production", in that I use them but don't "work on them". They're good enough.

Back in the day, we were using a tool that facilitated rapid iteration and development. The premise (way before any of this stuff became really fad-ish) was to get the customer involved. Fast results, early demonstrations, fast feedback. You know the drill.

But the key take away was the analogy he promoted. Simply "it's one thing to have sheet music, it's another to hear it". The premise being you can write the music all you want with notes and staves and what not, but it's not real until you hear it.

And, I don't know anything about music, so I can't speak to how actually writing music works for folks. But the point was made. You can make all the slide shows you want, but running code, hands on experience speaks volumes more than shouting at each other in a room with a whiteboard.

Of course, like everything, it's nuanced. But the point is made.

Recently, my friend had a need, and we came up with a pretty cool database type of system. No reason to go into details, but it was pretty cool, we came up with some great concepts, we thought through some hard problems, we started pounding out code, wrote up a nice rough draft of the query language.

In the end though, we felt that we were working on a trap with no mouse. The need wasn't that great. So we shelved it. We were close, but not quite to the most minimal MVP. To prove the core tenet. But, even close we felt it wasn't worth pursuing.

So, we stopped, and really haven't looked back.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Learn, move on.

That said, it behooves to make honest appraisal of why something is being stopped. Sometimes, and it's hard to tell when, but sometimes it's worth pushing through whatever barrier has come up and push on. Maybe with a little more work, you'll find that whatever was stopping you was surpassed and is no longer holding you back. Perhaps some new wind will fill your sails.
Bing has cached pages though?
>You’re holding him to a standard that you at least in part don’t believe in

In part. but CEOs have a lot more money and PR on the line than some WalMart worker who may not even be recognized by regular shoppers at that store.

And yes, some of it is spite. We're in a period of time where the economy is crashing and such C level execs will drop thousands of jobs at the drop of a hat, for people who did nothing wrong and probably made the company millions, billions. I don't really sympathize when suddenly they screw up on their own volition and may be given the sack themselves.
So the guy has crazy ideas and doesn't hate himself, what's the problem?

Of all the f'd up people in the world this guy seems very much on the "so what" end of the spectrum.
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Is software prevalent in manufactured products? Certainly. Are there standards that govern their designs? Of course.
Many of the people working for Bezos, Musk, Jobs, Zuckerberg, Larry and Sergey, etc. have made a lot of money and live very comfortable life styles.

So I don't accept it as a given that becoming wealthy requires inhumane exploitation.
I'm quite sad to see the removal of cached pages. The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is a great alternative, but they don't have the massive reach that the Google crawler does.

At the same time though, this decision makes so much sense from a business perspective. That feature must have occupied huge amounts of extra storage, and I'm guessing that usage is quite low.

Ah, found a good discussion of how it works in Linux https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/08/13/how-statically-link...

Is it materially different in openbsd?
There’s no could about it. Dutch food advisory is already to limit eating fish to once a week because of PFAS.

And eggs from chickens kept in your own yard are considered unsafe to eat, in a pretty big area. Unless you want to have them tested regularly at ~€600 each time.
I try to buy whichever is considered the best at the time and consider a TV to be a 2000Euro upwards purchase. But every TV needs the settings tweaked and a lot of its processing turned off. The quickest way to get there is to start with the tweaks others have done from video forums. Get to that to a reference point.

Then buy a good source like an Apple TV for streaming, a BluRay HD if you like disks or a OSMC Vero to run kodi. They should require very little changes or setup.

I think the audio is more challenging.
Because however much overall conditions improve, the people at the bottom of the new system will still be considered poor.
You don't give people enough credit. Yes, there's a lot of gaslighting and propaganda, like cherry picking favorable economic statistics (as here), but people generally see through it.

Interestingly, we also see both recency bias and confirmation bias here as well. This very recent statistic confirms what some people would like to believe.
That is still out of scope. And as parents you have to accept that you cannot keep control of everything. Your child might see stuff in the streets, might see stuff on someone else's device for which you weren't prepared, or find ways to circumvent any limitation you put to his life.

And being educated != being in jail.
Library relinking, mimmutable(2), xonly, along with other recent developments such as the removal of indirect syscall(2), make syscall pinning all the more interesting, and raise the bar against attackers significantly.

One can only hope that more will eventually find its way into Linux, like with how paid employees at Google have been spending the past ~6 months cloning mimmutable (which HN characters decried as "useless") to make mseal() for defending Chrome.

My hot take here is that this split exists because of the way that Linux development works differently than other Unices and other operating systems. Essentially, it's an example of Conway's Law.

As always, things are about API boundaries: what is internal to you, and what is exposed externally to your users.

With Linux, well, we all know the rms copypasta: "I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux." This is a joke, but it also points to something real and serious: Linux, being just a kernel, means that they provide a stable kernel API. glibc, being written by a different organization, builds on top of that API and adds its own stable API.

By contrast, many other operating systems are developed as a full operating system. They don't produce a kernel as a standalone component. As such, they choose some other sort of boundary as the API for the OS. On unices, that's often the libc. On Windows, that's the Windows API, of which win32 is an example.

There are good reasons to not make the kernel your API boundary. Different systems make different choices, and that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
This was a great video. I had always assumed that what fired a Magicube was a spark, like from flint, and not a percussion initiated explosive charge.
I appreciate the accuracy in your comment but do please edit out swipes like "Wtf are you talking about"—those spread bad feeling, and when we're talking about the community itself it's even more important not to do that.

2 stays max is not officially written anywhere but about 180 days is the rule of thumb people usually go by.
The issue here is the genericity if money. I think hardly anyone would argue that he shouldn't make decisions for Amazon. He is probably the best individual for this. The issue is that controlling Amazon also comes with the possibility of getting out of it and somehow be allowed to control vast amount of resources completely independent of it and possibly built decades or even centuries before Amazon even existed.
A Visa fact sheet [0] claims 276 billion transactions in a 12-month period, which would be less than 9,000 per second, but still an impressive figure.

Fedwire, the settlement system operated by the Federal Reserve, processed 196 million settlements in 2022, each about $5.4 million, for a total of over $1,000 trillion. [1] That would be about 16 settlements per second. Visa handles many more smaller, individual transactions; aggregates and nets them; and uses Fedwire to settle them between member banks.

Bitcoin could be used in a similar manner, handling a relatively small number of larger settlements; leaving other systems to handle smaller, individual transactions.

> Will we have to segregate all our trash and pay for our community to have a hazmat disposal truck come around along with the regular trash truck?

We could pose all of your same questions about, say, asbestos.

The superficial answer:

Yes, there are indeed times when human screwups necessitate hazmat disposal trucks in residential areas.

The deeper answer:

The optimal solution to a compounding problem is not to politicize it with absurd rhetoric.

It is to stop whatever's feeding into the compounding as quickly as possible. Because that is the only reliable way to reduce the long term costs that you'll ultimately have to pay.
There’s a lot of comments in here straw manning a book that I would guess very few have actually read. I don’t know if it’s a good argument or not but I’m sure the author is intelligent enough to have considered incentives and the case of central planning in the USSR and it’s not dunking on the author to just blindly bring these cases up as if they disqualify their whole argument. If this three paragraph summary of a 300 page book is so enraging then there’s maybe some deep seated biases to confront first.
this is cool!

Or it can also collect the backend and DB latency data related to a frontend interaction?

I don't have to imagine, since I have flown these and similar aircraft. It really does not make a difference. I prefer a mechanical cockpit, but the choice between MFDs and touchscreens is not much of a choice. There are so many buttons on MFDs that you don't really operate by feel.

I would agree if the choice were between mechanical cockpits and either of the other two, but that's not the choice at hand, since most Blackhawks were upgraded to MFDs year and years ago, to the point anyone flying in the military today would be nearing retirement if they had much experience in the original cockpits.
Wow, it’s “mind-boggling” now. Interesting choice of words. I wonder who comes up with these points and what is the mechanism for distributing them to the news outlets worldwide?
Zero is the natural interest rate? That’s ludicrous.

A dollar today is always going to be worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
>What are our collective priorities? Human leaders capable of leading humans? Or perfection which effectively translates to no edges, risk adverse, and ultimately flacid and unfollowable?

Sure, I'd take humans leading humans. Probably is we're in an era of humans trying to exploit other humans to appeal to semi-human stock market dynamics (likely funded by rich humans who have much better financial security).

I want empathy, and representation of the people's needs. Not some infeasible goal to keep growing profits even amidst a potential recession. I don't know Tan that well, but nothing in the conversation I've read over the past few days has even mentioned him being like that.

I don't necessarily have any vested interests here, but I definitely don't have sympathy.
Carl Weathers has died

Child mortality has dropped from 50% to 1%.

We had a world-wide plague, and far less 10% of the population died.

We have computers. We have the internet. We have an infinite wealth of media.

We fixed the hole in the ozone.

We eliminated lead poisoning.

We are constantly making progress against world poverty.

We got rid of kings and monarchs and tyrants.

War is so rare, we don't even bother with the draft despite the army struggling massively with recruitment.

Believe it or not, the -12V is used for the audio! Maybe not the GP's technobabble.

http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/amiga-power-supply-guide/

> What is the -12V supply on the Amiga used for?

> It is used for the RS232 transceiver chips and to power the Op-Amps in the audio circuits.

So the Amiga's audio just won't have that oomph without that -12V power.
You are correct, economic activity under capitalism is positive-sum. And that makes the exploitative behavior of megacorporations and their leaders that much worse. The economic pie is growing rapidly, but ruthless cost-focused management that treats employees as "resources" keeps unskilled laborers continually on the edge.

The larger the organization, the more the leaders can insulate themselves from the human reality on the ground, which in turn makes it easier to justify policies that fail to treat workers with basic human decency, let alone provide them the opportunity to share in the the economic surplus they produce.

It takes work and discipline for leaders to avoid this without external coercion, and that is in demonstrably short supply.
> If all the philosophers, mathematicians and scientists and doctors were put in charge of running all the world's companies, we'd be in big trouble. Totally different skill sets.

Eh, worked well enough for Singapore.

Also it worked well enough for the founding of many great companies.

Ford, GE, Intel, Microsoft, Google, companies started by people who were experts in their field.

Traditionally that is how things went. Sadly the meme of a dedicated management class has taken hold on America and we've decided that people who actually understand what a business does aren't needed to run the business.

That leads to crap like airplanes falling apart, software companies who are just barely able to release software, and hospitals that are so misran they are unable to afford actually treating patients.
It is also sometimes called request collapsing.
> Getting lots of people to make lots of small decisions is not easy and the masses are not necessarily that sensible. Delegating decision making to a chosen representative is the least bad system seen so far, but has a way to go.

I'm with William F. Buckley on this one:

For an organization that is not well-funded, it has taken some remarkably risky actions that few nonprofits or commercial ventures would ever attempt.

When the medical field phases out masks because they "have no benefit" I will believe that masking was useless. Also keep in the mind that the primary reason for studies showing masks not working is that people don't wear it correctly or at all.
Again, this misses the point. A better statement would speak to how many of those recalls pertain to well-established regulations that were not implemented by the manufacturer. I drew that distinction earlier when I wrote of recalls that relate to non-standardized issues. This was a recall about a highly standardized requirement that was not implemented. So the question is why wasn’t it implemented? Lack of competence/ignorance of the requirements? Lack of quality control? A designer unilaterally deciding the requirements didn’t matter?
Jesus this is a stupid argument.

"Don’t dump chemicals in water or on land" is a perfectly logical and defensible statement.
You now get charged for ipv4 addresses as well. Less than nat, yes, but now ipv4 addresses are no longer free either.
Today you have to futz around with NAT, but you wouldn't have to if you simply never made any connections to the public internet. And for many services that's completely fine.
Are you alluding to real estate taxes, or something else? I know that you have to pay property tax to keep your land, but you have to pay property tax to keep your car, and I don't see how that means that the state owns your car.

I think the current system, and specifically the Supreme Court under Roberts has done an excellent job protecting individual property rights from the state. The Roberts court gets criticized for protecting those rights too much.

I'm a Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience in the tech industry, specializing in developing and maintaining Android applications using Kotlin and Clean Architecture. Furthermore, I have 5 years of experience as an Android Lead Developer and 2 years of experience as a Tech Lead for a very mixed team in a couple of IoT and Windows Desktop projects.
