That's because we're stuck with loads of dirty energy. The ultimate goal should be unlimited energy for everyone, but only sustainable energy. That first portion is rarely mentioned in the climate change community.
In my limited experience, I'd say the immutable spins are even better for non-developers. Getting developer tooling going in Silverblue was enough of a hassle for me to disregard it, for the time being.
This is just not true at all.

> For the childless WFH-er trying to concentrate, it's not much fun when kids noisily use the communal areas of apartment buildings as a playground.

Personally, I love the sound of kids - it creates an atmosphere of energy, joy, love, a lack of cynicism (such as found in certain HN posts :) ) ... It's a wonderful work environment and a palliative for working with (many) adults.

(Sadly, they grow up to be adults like the rest. How does that happen? We suck at raising kids - they come out worse than when they were at 6 or 10 years old.)
heh - I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it takes more vehicle volume to move 35 billion tons of feathers. As Vehicle volume is correlated to vehicle weight, moving feathers will be more expensive :P

but in all seriousness, the correspondence to rocks is beneficial as it's not obvious just how much mass industry moves in 2023. If you add in waste rock at quarries the numbers rise precipitously. A single shovel bucket can move 20 tons.
I'm keenly aware of their operations as my last company looked into hosting in their facility and I know people who have hosted there too. I have also physically been there. Too bad HN doesn't allow photos, I've got some good ones.

The map shows what I'm talking about very clearly... all of the power is either used for the local Alcoa plants (there are several) or gets exported elsewhere.

There is little usage for that power locally (it is in the middle of nowhere, frozen in the winters and otherwise wasteland surrounded by superfund sites thanks to the smelting).

It also isn't like you can just plug in 115kv line into a 230kv line and call it a day. It would require new construction to send that power somewhere else, which is expensive and hard to justify over someone just paying for the power to stay right there.

I never said anything about 'generating capacity'. The dam, where I also went for a tour, is ~2k mw total, part goes to Canada and the rest to the US. The Massena facility has an allocation of that power.

The networks could not overlap if the given range does not route. Anyways, that misses the point as the challenges of configuring the corresponding routing table would be trivial compared to managing 16 million devices on a single internal network.

Everything was built in the 40’s-60’s and the average amount of insulation is 0. I live in the mildest part of CA, the San Francisco Bay Area. Today the overnight lows were in the mid 30’s and the high will be about 50. Without heating my indoor temperature would be around 50 which I find unacceptable.

I’m not sure what your bogeyman “progressive” bandwagon has to do with not wanting to live in 50° living spaces?
For the same reason people in California install heat and air conditioning? Heat pumps aren't a new product market, they're a more efficient variant of products the market already buys.
> We also need to get to a place, culturally, where we can have calm rational conversations about how many people we can reasonably ask this planet to support.

I disagree, that's a dangerous trap. Oh, sure, it seems reasonable and sagacious at first glance, but that's what makes the eventual misdirection/procrastination so insidious! Long-term planning is not automatically wise planning.

________

To illustrate, imagine that:

1. There's a local park with houses around it.

2. Some people periodically dump their trash in it.

3. The trash-piles are getting kind of big and stinky now.

4. A well-meaning neighbor says: "What we really need is to get a place, as a community, where we can have calm rational conversations bout how many people can live near this park."

5. (Bonus) Many of the biggest trash dumpers agree: "Exactly, literally everybody here is to blame, and especially people moving in and/or having too many kids! The only way forward is a very thorough and lengthy symposium with multiple committees to develop recommendations to stop that kind of thing."

________

In that analogy, it's easier to see that your neighbor's proposal is--er--less than practical, because (A) the immediate problem isn't actually total visitor count,(B) we'll never reach full consensus, and (C) any consensus number would still meaninglessly unenforceable.

So it can't really help, but it can harm by creating unnecessary discord and will prevent/delay practical changes like "Anything you bring must be taken back out", or "Littering: $X fine."

> Datacenters used less than 0.1 petawatt-hours in 2020 [4], or about 2% of total energy consumption.

FWIW, that's a projection from 2016, but it should still be in the right ballpark.

Comparing Bitcoin power usage to all other data center power usage is also enlightening. Those data centers are hosting the majority of the world's online services as well as providing services used by physical businesses; they're doing a lot more useful work, for more people, than Bitcoin is.
Not really. You replace your existing AC with a split heat pump. It's not a mix-and-match situation, but the heat pump will both heat and cool and, if you already have existing ductwork that's correctly sized, you should be fine to just drop in a heat pump. (In an extreme heating dominated climate, you could have ducts that are too small for a heat pump, but adequately sized for AC and a furnace. That's pretty uncommon though.)
My ex-wife had a two-day power outage last month (it was only a few hours at my apartment) during a cold snap. She has gas heat, but the problem is that the heat gets circulated by fans¹ which are powered by—electricity.

She had to get a hotel room for the night because she wasn’t comfortable sleeping with the gas fireplace on.

⸻

1. I would guess that thermostats also powered by electricity not working would add to the complication.
The government isn't something that exists off to the side. It is literally just the people. The laws in force are simply what the people choose to recognize.

Indeed, Quebec tradition ensures that most people will choose to recognize the laws crafted under the given framework and not beyond. But they can also choose to look beyond it if they so wish. Of course, they don't have to either.

> And most IPV4 addresses are vague and only give a coarse location of where you are

That's not true, you can request/compel Frontier to tell you what specific customer that IP was assigned to at a given time.

> and they're typically shared among many others so an IP is not a guaranteed signal that it was 'you' who pirated stuff.

Most residential ISPs in the states have 1 ipv4 (and possibly ipv6) assigned per customer and don't CGNAT, from my brief research Frontier doesn't seem to use CGNAT at least for residential internet.
The current admissions to Ivy League schools were influenced by affirmative action policies, which boosted black numbers. Whites are not under-represented because of black students, but because of Asian students, who have a much stronger cultural push to academic achievement.

In the future, the number of black students will likely fall. Whites will still likely be under-represented because of over-representation of Asians, but that's a cultural matter. Whites do still benefit from legacy admissions; it's just not sufficient to overcome the cultural push.

I'll admit I'm suspicious that you couldn't figure it out for yourself. Surely my point was clear: a program that benefited blacks was canceled, while leaving in place one that benefits non-blacks. It's the conflict between the two that exemplifies the example of systemic racism.

> "Non-regrettable" attrition means either that the person was fired or laid off.

No. Every leaver is classified as a regrettable/non-regrettable case - this was a part of my last exit interview when I quit the job."non regrettable" just means you have very low chances of being hired by the company again.
Had exactly the same experience recently. It seems like there are plenty of good mini-split heatpump systems that will work down to 0F (or even lower) without any kind of backup heat source. But if you're replacing a forced air furnace that feeds an existing ducts the only options are heatpumps that need to have backup heat under 30F. So essentially you're buying 2 furnaces in one which increases the cost. I'm in the PNW where it rarely goes below 10F so the minisplit systems would work fine without backup.
I'm not convinced. I'm sure some of the people talking about alignment have commercial motives, but it's a minority. For most, it's a philosophical/ideological position.

So far I've been finding myself bringing product marketing to companies that don't already do it (they bring me in to improve engagement and product marketing is the low hanging fruit). I really don't want to get pigeon holed into that though.

> I know of no evidence in favor of the first point.

Do you know of any case where a ratio higher than 10000x was ever tested? Because there have been several that were tossed out as disproportionate at a much lower ratio than that.

> Your second point is patently false because TXO is about speech - it's literally a disparagement case.

It was a case of negotiating in bad faith by slandering a title, and the damages were awarded on the basis that TXO had engaged in similar nefarious behavior across the country while negotiating other deals. That's substantially different in character from a series of unsavory opinion pieces, and within the realm of types of speech that we typically do regulate—it's more akin to fraud than it is to personal slander/libel.

From the ruling:

> [T]he record shows that this was not an isolated incident on TXO’s part—a mere excess of zeal by poorly supervised, low level employees—but rather part of a pattern and practice by TXO to defraud and coerce those in positions of unequal bargaining power.
> There is an absolutely vast literature studying the effects of context and context changes on many different forms of cognition, going back decades. Your posts really adds little of value, and relies on some over-broad stereotypes of the soundness of psychology research. Do some google scholar searches.

In four words, the above comment is: harsh, judgmental, not curious.

Below, I hope to (a) offer another point of view about how your comment may be perceived and (b) demonstrate to you that the sample sizes and replicated studies regarding the Doorway Theory are unimpressive.

First, you made this discussion personal, and it wasn't particularly constructive. It is hard to say what goals you might have, but if your goal is curious conversation, I don't think this is the way. Do you? What is your experience/philosophy/science of productive conversation? Based only on this interaction, I wonder if you may not have thought about this very much and/or you aren't putting it into practice and/or you're taking something out on me.

Second, the word "stereotypes" gets casually thrown around. Empirically, how often would you say that using it advances constructive conversation?

Third, using this definition of stereotype: "a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing." ... why would you think my view of this is "fixed" or unchanging? I don't see a rational reason for seeing that based on what I wrote.

Fourth, for people that think in a Bayesian way -- and I think such a model is fairly useful in modeling how people actually operate -- we all have priors. Please do not accuse me of stereotyping when I'm only sharing a prior. One key question is what we do with them as we gain more information.

Fifth, on what basis would you validly say that my prior regarding my confidence in psychological studies is an "over-broad stereotype"? I've tried, but I don't think you can. You can disagree with my prior -- that's fair game. And we can talk empirically and rationally about how/why we have different priors.

Sixth, your comment shifts away the context I intended (I hope it was clear given the context, but maybe it was not) and criticizes a straw man. You wrote "There is an absolutely vast literature studying the effects of context and context changes on many different forms of cognition, going back decades". Perhaps this literature is largely sound and replicable. But that's not what I was referring to here; I was discussing the Doorway Effect in particular. From what I've seen so far, there were two early studies, both at Notre Dame, consisting of about 90 people in total. This alone certainly isn't enough in my mind to give high credence to the results. At least one subsequent attempt to replicate was mixed. So, please don't tell me to "do some google scholar searches". That is rather presumptive.

Well, even that depends, the overhead to do microservices well is a lot - versioning of what services are deployed and guarantees around compatibility between said deployments can be a huge amount of work. I’ve seen systems where 2 month old containers are just floating around still being sent incompatible messages. Then there’s teaching developers about CAP theory properly, at Netflix great everyone is sharp enough to get it but at AverageCompanyX, well my experience is 30% of developers actually can’t reason about eventual consistency.

Therefore I would question the assumption that things are simpler, code certainly, infrastructure, debugging and deployment certainly not.

I would say breaking things down into services, slowly, as it makes sense is enough. They don’t need to be micro.
You don't have to go outside the industry, or even the company. Apple computers from the start of the company up to the early 21st century are often still functional to this day and most were modular and easy to repair. Likewise, you can install modern Linux kernels on PCs (and Macs) going back to something like the i486 from 1989, and even supported versions of Windows can be installed on PCs that are ~20 years old.

The market for mobile phones is abnormally dysfunctional.

One source has been posted thus far, and it contradicts what you've said. In fact, the entire first page of Google's search results for "pigs vs dogs intelligence" brings up nothing to support your point. (Low-quality sources, but again, it's currently low-quality vs no-quality.)

I suppose it's possible the poster's IP is stored in the post metadata itself, along with the date, username, and so forth. Don't know if that's how Reddit works but in that case it'll be retained forever.

As for the reason for 7 years worth of data, I think that's because the firm wants to go back and search for infringing acitivity on all those IP addresses due to dynamic IP updates and so forth. If the user is still active on Reddit the more recent IP addresses probably are enough to identify him if a warrant is served to the ISP. The ISPs I know only retain a link from a dynamic IP to a subscriber for one to two years max.

You are the one trying to include "all things like file pointers" as colors, as a strawman. But nobody is trying to say that.

Context is tacked on to goroutines to control async stuff, unlike e.g. filepointers or database-handles.

Using context.Background() is fine and great for tests or e.g. some CLI program. But consider deeply nesting functions that all do context.Background().

Go just smudges everything as gray and calls it a day.

Edit: what I'm trying to say is that go has not completely solved the colored function problem, which I think is what you're implying.
There’s nothing obsolete about devolving power from top level political units or splitting them up into politically more homogenous units.
