Her credentials are her ability to rally support/interest in climate issues. What credentials would satisfy you? Folks with PhDs and political accolades have been speaking the same points for years, and clearly they haven't bread success.

Frankly a question to ask is why you feel a person like her isn't encouraged to speak out on these issues, and isn't worth listening to? Is she saying things that aren't true? If so it seems like the thing to do would be to speak to those misstatements.

Much more likely though, systemic sexism and ageism make it difficult for folks to accept young women in leadership roles, particularly when their message asks for change from the status quo.

So the reasons you should care about what this person is saying are 1) she is speaking truths about climate change 2) the truths are about existential threats to humanity and she is able to communicate the seriousness of those threats 3) she is able to rally groups of like minded people with a common vision of those threats and their seriousness 4) paying attention to her and uplifting her leadership role helps erode systemic sexism and ageism.

> EU is great for subsistence seekers

The fraction of people in EU countries who just want to exist on social welfare and have no aspirations is miniscule. That's just propaganda and a narrative spun by the rich to avoid paying taxes as much as possible. Not backed by any data.
But everyone does't do that and it's absolutely silly to suggest they will so your alarmism just that.
To be fair, this is also illogical, at least in a literal sense. It’s the Appeal to Authority fallacy. The reputation of the speaker doesn’t necessarily confirm or deny an assertion they make.

Granted, most people tend to use some combination of both logic and heuristics in practice to determine their own understanding of the truth, perceived reputation being a fairly common one.

How are people thinking about the future of the Moon?

If it turns out that economic opportunities are limited, will we still see attempts at building a Moon base?
Thanks for taking a look.

This is not entirely wrong, but is misleading. Yes, striking is supposed to be a protected worker right, but there are entire regulations to follow for that ("préavis" / "droit de retrait" etc). However, it was not always the case and for most of french history striking was illegal and heavily repressed. It's important to note, because in the past decade or so there's been massive retaliation against some organized workers in certain corporations and even in public services like La Poste. Striking is only protected as long as the balance of power shifts in our direction, and it's fair to say that the bourgeoisie has been gaining momentum while we have lost significant rights since Sarkozy, and our protests have been heavily repressed including maiming and murders by cops.

As for demonstrations, what you said is incorrect. There is no obligation for the prefecture to approve your request before you go on a demo. There is indeed an obligation to declare it but unless it's explicitly forbidden you are go. It used to be, not so long ago that undeclared demos were legal and i believe it was only under nazi occupation that they weren't. Sarkozy changed that to repress young people hanging out in public spaces by making 3 people or more hanging out together illegal.

It's important to understand that outlawing demonstrations in France (along with other obvious signs of growing fascism) are a rather recent phenomenon. Except for workers/ecologist or pro-Gaza demonstrations repressed in the past decade, the last forbidden demonstrations in France date from the 60s (in support of Algerian independence).

Still, they'll never stop our "manif sauvage" :)
>We are the problem, we the people who want more more, and do not accept the consequences of our actions

Ask why. Consider why it is that people do that. Is it really human nature? Can't we imagine a world, or even a country, where the cultural zeitgeist is different?

We certainly can have smaller communities where people accept the consequences of their actions, where people will hear about what else happens besides "more" when you ask for more. It's not that the human brain floating in a vacuum is incapable of understanding that actions have consequences. We develop that skill pretty early!

I think it's interesting to look at what separates these smaller groups from the bigger groups. I don't think it's people themselves being built of a different stuff. It's the inputs and the norms that differ.

I can certainly think of norms for a group that result in worse outcomes. I also don't think we're necessarily at an optimum in epistemics, looking around me. So optimistically, candidly, there's room to do somewhat better.
The amount of climate change denial in these comments is both concerning and absurd.

Anthropogenic climate change is real. It sucks, and we’re experiencing the results of it today. If you do not believe this, please consider who the experts on this very complex topic would be (climatologists, meteorologists, etc), and listen to what 99% of them are saying.
The majority of people aren't deniers, so the minority that wants super aggressive change in policies just has to realize that not everyone is a revolutionary, and people shift their voting very little so this needs to be done over generations.

Huh? Covid was tearing up northern Italy before it landed in the US and we did nothing to prevent it. Our politicians were telling people not to buy masks.

Trump sent shit tons of ventilators to Florida for no reason.

We allowed people from places that had confirmed cases of Covid to come into the US, they just had to make a layover.

The WHO refused to call Covid a pandemic until it was way too late.

Nursing homes were decimated. Schools decided that stay 6-feet apart meant "do nothing, its fine".

People were eating horse deworming paste instead of getting the vaccine. People lost their fucking shit over mask mandates.

Maybe you weren't in the US?
> Considering its corpus, to me it makes almost no sense for it to be more helpful when offered a tip.

I think, to be able to simulate humans, an internal state of desirable and undesirable, which is similar to human's, is helpful.
Is it ironic, though? "Right to repair" has to do with freedom, sure, but not free-as-in-beer. It doesn't mean "it costs me no money to repair things". It means "I am not prevented from repairing things". Selling stuff - including selling writing - is not incompatible with the right to repair.
Too bad they're not running the US, India, and China because poll results are meaningless if people have no actual ability to effect change and they don't.
> Another example of poor decision making is Germany which decided to start shutting down nuclear power plants while they were still burning coal. So last year hard coal and lignite still produced 35.3 percent in German power production (compared to 35.2% from renewables. (https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/coal-germany). Before the phase out of nuclear, it generated about 25% of the electricity. It is all really hard to believe...

That article is from January 2023, so the numbers in there are 2022, not last year, and even then it says that nuclear produced only 11.7%. In any case, comparing to the official numbers[0], those seem to be closer to the 2021 numbers than the actual 2022 numbers: 31.3% coal, 6% nuclear, and 44% renewable. For 2023, coal was down to 26.22%, nuclear (which was only phased out in April) was down to 1.5%, and renewables were at 56%. Nuclear has not contributed more than 20% to electricity generation since 2011[2].

> if it seems to work, that is good enough

I think that's where many people would disagree with you.

Also static types are not only about correctness. They also greatly help with understanding, documentation and navigation.

The two biggest third party codebases I've contributed to are VSCode and Gitlab. VSCode was about 10x easier than Gitlab simply because I spent so much time in Gitlab just trying to find the code that a function called, or the code that called a function. (I think Ruby also encourages ungreppable code styles which makes this even worse.)

In VSCode it was pretty much just one click. (Occasionally more because of abstract interfaces, but even then way way nicer.)

Anyway yeah obviously if you don't really care about your code working or being readable then you are going to feel like static types are a waste of your time. That's kind of like saying that showering is a waste of time because you don't need to be clean.
No, absolutely not. I would calculate their error percentage and make combative replies, because that's how I enjoy spending my time.
Most doctors will be able to turn around, pick the corresponding textbook from their library and show you where they learned something. Or point you to an actual clinical case they had to handle. If they had to, somehow.

>If you have so much data that you need to stream it, you probably shouldn't be using JSON, though...

Why not? I have a bunch of large/real-time files I'd like to read piece by piece and json is a convenient format for parsing it to something useful on the client. I understand using other, more efficient formats, but I think just wanting to stream the data isn't enough of a reason to move to them.

As is was already noted, scanline-level techniques were commonly used in Amiga games.

Never ever thought I'd see this argument. It's amusing in the same way you would be if you saw someone intentionally throw off all their safety gear before attempting a dangerous activity "just because".

Exactly, structs are also used as maps/dictionaries, and the current implementation of them in our VM is as hash maps. (We have optimizations planned for this.) You'd create a struct with tags (symbols) as keys to create a typical struct/class, and can use arbitrary keys if you want to use it as a more general map:

# A struct with two tags as keys mapping to functions
httpServerStruct = [GetNextRequest: { … }, Close: { … }]

# A map with text keys
capitalCitiesMap = ["Germany": "Berlin", "France": "Paris"]
It's not just about the warming. Can you name one source of water in your neighborhood that's not polluted and can be drunk? Are you aware of the massive desertification due to industrialized agriculture? There's more than isolated signs of civilisational collapse. The system will change that's for sure. The question is whether we'll choose a mildly-painful transition, or endure a deadly ecocidal hard reset.

Ecological problems are not coming for us in the 2100s. They're here now and keep getting worse.
Apple already did build a search engine; it's what gives you the top suggestion as you type in Safari/Spotlight.

It mostly just sends you to Wikipedia, which means it's already better than Google.
Laptops with soldered CPUs require replacing the entire mainboard when the CPU dies, while older socketed CPUs can be replaced for the cost of a new processor (as little as $10 on eBay for lower-spec CPU models, but prices rise exponentially as you get to higher-tier SKUs with more cores or clocks).

I think we might have a different understanding of what "upper class" means. Upper class is the likes of Trump/Bezos/Musk/.

apple also sells kits to repair (and components). Except they do so with high expense, such that they make the same or higher margins on those components than a new buy.

No, i don't believe that information should be gated. The right to repair requires free information, open standards, and commodity components.

> RSS is not the same thing as podcasts

Well, yeah. Not only is it not the same thing, the concepts aren't related in any way.

A podcast is an audio file. RSS is a format for publishing the information that you've updated your website.

>>> With podcasts, we now have an entire universe of media distribution that happens via an open protocol that is not controlled by any one company, which is a miracle.

We had that before podcasts. You go to a web page, and you download a file. The protocol is called "HTTP", the HyperText Transfer Protocol.

Where do podcasts come into this?
Einstein actually did have a tutor (Max Talmey). Any access to tutors at the time was exceptional, as the majority of families could not afford that.

Einstein was also raised in a family that can not be described as average.

His father had an interest in mathematics and founded 2 electrical engineering companies

His mother was well-educated and worked as a piano player. She made Albert begin violin lessons at the age of five.

It seems to me that Albert Einstein did not grow up under average conditions. His family had some financial issues, but was able to give him a good education.
> If they produced things, it would be a waste of resources, because the needs of the entire world are already satisfied. But that's exactly what they do. Do we really need fancy clothes, and fancy houses, and fancy food, and TV shows and music? Do we need art?

The majority of society’s basic needs have been catered for since ancient Mesopotamia. The only significant innovation we’ve had since then is modern medicine. In regards to needs, everything else since then has just been fine tuning and improving access.

The majority of human development since that period has primarily been delivering for wants. The basic premise of your argument here is “how about you do without _everything_ that you want”.

This also ignores the fact that no, we cannot make “enough” of only the needs, and just remove all of the wants, because they have the same supply chain. You might argue that I don’t need the spark plugs in my car, but a farmer would certainly need the spark plugs in their tractor.
