I don't know if this is exactly it, but your idea for designing a system that encourages fewer but much higher-quality interactions is a good one.
Lies repeated enough become truth which becomes common sense.

> Literally nothing stops first-world consumers from not buying stuff that requires emission of greenhouse gases except for their lifestyle preferences.

Literally nothing. Uh-huh as if we’re talking about buying a monster truck compared to a Volvo instead of the lifeblood of the whole modern (inefficient) supply chain.

> Yep, you bought into the idea that you don't have to change your lifestyle because it is all fault of the big oil.

Via what money?
The energy consumption of proof of stake is inherently less of an issue because, unlike proof of work, it does not itself incentivize waste in an escalating vicious feedback loop. In other words, an industry where energy expenditure is an input is categorically different than an industry where energy expenditure is an output, which is the real existential crisis of proof of work.

Still waiting on that global consciousnesses. It’s a nice idea though.
I wonder if a lawsuit like this could ultimately indemnify petrochemical companies for a known and finite amount, with the most lasting "benefit" being warning signs on gas pumps and anything else produced using petrochemicals:

"WARNING: This product is known to the territory of Puerto Rico to cause more and more severe meteorological events."

Then at some later time in the inevitable march to Idiocracy, bright minds at low margin businesses will start tossing some food grade paraffin on everything so they don't have to distinguish between SKUs that need the sign and those that don't.
I live in Florida and new-build homes are relatively well-insulated. Older stuff can be anywhere from very poor to surprisingly good (e.g. old, small concrete block housing). And yes, the idea is broadly the same, although insulation doesn't help with de-humidification.
Absolutely. I was tested for IQ at the age of 9 because of antisocial behavioral issues at school (mostly disruptive things). Thankfully, no midlife alcohol issues. Don't remember the details but apparently high IQ and "below average" spatial intelligence, which somewhat tracks. I cannot draw or paint to save my life, and have a hard time with estimating distances, levelness, etc.

I'm curious what the specific bounds were before and after this proof.
Dating apps have problems for the businesses that own them or try to make them, but they still overall make a lot of money when you get it right. And the user experience, while full of annoying money grabs, is honestly perfectly functional if you're attractive and present yourself well to the people you want to attract. If you don't, that's not really a problem with the app, it's just a problem with not liking your dating experience.

I don't think you can claim they don't work well when the number one way people meet these days is via apps.
I keep reading about how dating apps don’t work, but at least from my own personal experience and from my friends’ experience, they work very well.

The key, I think, is to

1. live in a big city with lots of single people your age

2. pay (if you’re a guy)

I don’t consider myself anything special, but following these 2 steps I literally had more dates than I could handle (with women I actually wanted to meet). 3 of those ended up being long term 1y+ relationships.

> It also makes the CERN's strategic decision to go full Open Source less appealing by time. Although there are many examples on how proprietary hurt us too (I see you there oracle).

Surely FOSS is overwhelmingly preferable precisely for this reason - if you use github and they decide to screw you over you're stuck. If gitlab does decide to screw you over then you still have the source code for the last good version, and 1. you can patch/fork it yourselves, 2. you can hire someone else to patch/fork it, and 3. if there's a decent-size community then probably someone else will fork it. Or more concretely, yeah the CentOS thing sucked, but there are multiple replacement forks, which never would have been an option if it wasn't open source.
Where is the incentive to do otherwise?

Whom is going to fund multiple executive and legislative candidates to get this done?

Not trying to dismiss your point outright, just while it's a good notion, I for one do not see a practical way of changing towards that on a large national level across multiple industries.
I won’t contest you entirely, but I do ask this: if society functions like a school environment, why do we need a school environment to learn social interaction? It seems at best a secondary or tertiary benefit of a structure that should primarily be focused on intellectual learning. It’s a facsimile of the real world, and facsimiles are always lacking.

Also, I think the biggest thing that present in school environments but missing from other environments is the forced segregation by age range, which prevents the more organic tribal self-organizational practices to which humans have adapted over tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

And I would also add that there are degrees of artificiality and what really matters is not so much whether we have constructed our environments so much as whether or not they have stood the test of time, and adapted to us as much as we’ve adapted to them.
Thank you for the feedback. Agree that most of the features are offered as https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-diff..., unfortunately i haven't played with it. Will improve the landing page to focus on the pieces different from what is offered by Github.

Sorry about that, will work on not using cards :( I do not have much design/UI experience, and the lack of it shows here.
UK courts can also order a newspaper to publish a retraction or an apology, and can specify the prominence that should be given to it.
I do agree with this. They stifled progress as much as they could but that only slows things down, and because we don't truly know what would have happened, it's not productive to play the blame game and say we'd have a spotless utopia if it weren't for the oil companies. Who knows, not enough people at that time may not have cared or maybe we would have the utopia we all want. It's all guesswork and at this point we need to spend our energy moving forward instead of focusing on the past.
Epistemic uncertainty: I wasn't alive back then and haven't done a deep dive on the historical evidence to form a strong view on the claim.

However, Sabine Hossenfelder recently made a post about that [0]. My understanding is that there was still a lot of uncertainty in the scientific community during the 80s, although around the 90s there was a movement by oil companies to downplay the impact of climate change.

With that being said, whether or not oil companies were aware back then doesn't mean they cannot still be held accountable in the present. And we definitely have evidence of oil companies engaging in bad faith since the turn of the millennium to obfuscate our understanding of climate science.

Sorry, I didn't see the "much softer targets" remark but I disagree anyway.

Marketing on HN can be very powerful. The mindshare gain can be enormous. Niches in general are very rewarding if the underlying platform (Google/Facebook/Amazon/Ebay) doesn't deplatform you.

I don't have time to look it up but I'm sure minimaxir (Certified HN Influencer) has made a study on it.

PG remarked on it in What I've Learned from Hacker News[1]:

"But what happened to Reddit won't inevitably happen to HN. There are several local maxima. There can be places that are free for alls and places that are more thoughtful, just as there are in the real world; and people will behave differently depending on which they're in, just as they do in the real world.

I've observed this in the wild. I've seen people cross-posting on Reddit and Hacker News who actually took the trouble to write two versions, a flame for Reddit and a more subdued version for HN."

Anecdata: just today I reactivated an account on a startup I learned about from a Show HN[2]

I've been wanting to request an Anki feature for a while that is in this vein (and would enable this style): allowing cards within a deck to be tagged with a trigger, which would activate when all (or some portion of) cards within a deck also tagged with that trigger reach "maturity." When activated, it can add a tagged batch of cards from the deck as new cards for review, or more generally it could change their state (from/to Young, Mature, Suspended, etc.).

This would allow cards to be automatically introduced in groups, rather than the "just give me 10 new cards every day" thing. It could also allow a default suspended deck style, where all but a few cards begin suspended, and they are unsuspended in an orderly way based on one's progress with the active cards. That could be a pattern that works for drilling hierarchies of knowledge.

There's a deck style called the KOFI (conjugation first) system for learning Romance conjugations that would really benefit from that, which now depends on people manipulating the decks manually with the aid of an abused deck description field describing that manipulation.

Anki is pretty hostile to order, because spaced repetition is all about moving individual cards optimally and without regard to other cards, but the order in which information is introduced can be important. At this point you can only choose between introducing cards in a linear order, or completely at random. There's no way to deviate from that without the user having to learn to juggle things manually. A deck creator can't just suggest a schedule programmatically, even if the deck was designed around that schedule.

The other half of this, where cards that duplicate combinations of other cards are automatically strengthened when their related cards are strengthened (or vice versa) is interesting. Seems like a neuron model.
That's a shakedown amount. You can't even build 1 nuclear power plant with $1 billion.

I remember following the guides to get OS X 10.3 installed on G3 machines...

What was the reason for that bug preventing OS X booting on older machines?
Where I live, few installers have specialized in heat pump water heaters, and it's still seen as a niche technology. This means the cost increase compared to a standard electric or gas water heater is high and installation issues are common. You also run into a lot of situations where the water heater is placed in conditioned space which makes any energy savings a lot more sketchy.

Adding different systems to the mix, to where we now need the HVAC guy, plumber, etc. to all set up a working system together seems like a recipe for disaster.
No one will ever accuse me of being an optimist, but I'm beginning to have a hard time seeing how this doesn't end with human extinction, and I wonder how that balances on the spreadsheet. It's quite depressing.
Anti-intellectualism and the push to the right is a drive to prevent a global consciousnesses. The best thing we can do is encourage critical thinking regardless of ideology. Education cures all ills.

My two cents.

Math it's way easier than you think it is, it greatly depends on how you approach it. I really like the style of Robert Ghrist videos on YouTube.

A great tutor/video goes a long way. I wish I could share some resources but am a bit outdated on that.

The overall idea is that some people can explain math concepts in a very clear and straightforward way, while some others will write up a bunch of symbols and let you figure them out. Avoid the latter. As a note, those are usually the lowest performers in academia, lol.
Github does offer deployments https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-diff... which is similar in comparison, but i feel there are lot of steps to go through to get this working and creating pipeline for simple workflows makes it hard.

Azure pipelines offered this by setting up reviewers, approvals, but reading more about Github deployments, they might be similar.

I’ve had multiple purchases recently where the product I ordered (new) arrived in obviously-used condition. First was a metal kitchen trash can that had scratches and small dents on it. Second was a stroller cover for the airplane that arrived with tons of dirt and black streak marks all over it. In both cases I got a refund but it makes me wonder how many other “new” products I’m getting from Amazon that are likely used.
It's what fits my use case quite well.
I do believe too that it is going to fail. Technology won't solve it. And people who got emissions now are not ready to do enough. And people who do not want the same things that people who do.

Outside rather small segment of population not enough people are ready to either substantially lower their standards of living or not increase them.

This dynamic makes fantasy sports a second-order game, and predicting regular sports outcomes is hard enough. You're not just trying to pick the best players for the best price, you also have to consider the scenarios those players will be in any given week.

I thought about using custom tags before for components (not web components, which have a few gotchas) but it came down to SEO. If there were more certainty on the impact of custom tag on SEO I'd already be doing this.
I have more faith in Chinese will and engineering culture than American C suites, MBAs, and financialization. I wish this was not the case, but the inmates are running the asylum.

The US should not stop trying, but it's going to be a hot minute before execs across industries are flushed out into retirement (1.8M people 55+ age out every year in the US, roughly half of which are in the labor force participation rate) and new blood steps into those positions. Culture comes from the top.
Residency isn't independent study, it's pretty tightly directed by the hierarchy.

And I'd hire a math major with limited software experience over a boot camp or self-taught person that only knows code any day. In fact, I'd take a math major over most people with MS in CompSci. They know how to learn very difficult stuff, and didn't do it in an environment that is mostly people wanting to be highly paid, but mostly people that have a love of complicated but beautiful abstract structures (hence less weird resume lying and so on; also, tends to be a bit of a salary arbitrage opportunity). (Hiring for experienced people is of course a different problem.)

Of course, trying for a professor job in the US is very likely to a difficult career path; I'm taking some math classes just for fun and the professors are usually grading our papers at insane hours, 3 am and then office hours at 9 am). I could not have done that much work and been a good parent.

But academia is great training. One of the best project managers I've worked with had a PhD in Anglo-Saxon english; her dissertation was on masculinity in the court of the Anglo-Saxon king (or something, I've not worked with her in a long time); surprisingly relevant to trying to get the mostly male dev teams to coordinate to finish projects when she didin't have the feudal power of the technical managers, just the soft power of the travelling minstral.
Are these bacteria causal or merely associated?
so... if would be better for them if they never had those benefits how?
Don't need a language then, just compile down to "return 4". No instructions needed.
Without user input it's not really useful. How about returning maximum value of user-privided array of int64 values? If array is static, just return final value and that's all. Smart compiler for the win!

P.S. precomputing even a single int64 space is going to be really really hard, 2^64 possible values is a lot

Historical fun fact:

In the original version of Objective-C and NextStep (1988-1994), the common base class (Object) provided an implementation of `copyFromZone:` that did an exact memcpy of the object, a la NSCopyObject. In other words, NSCopyObject was the default behavior for all Obj-C objects.

It was still up to each subclass to ensure that copyFromZone: worked correctly with its own data (not all classes supported it).

AppKit's `Cell` class provided this implementation:

- copyFromZone:(NXZone *)zone
{
Cell *retval;
retval = [super copyFromZone:zone];
if (cFlags1.freeText && contents)
retval->contents = NXCopyStringBufferFromZone(contents, zone);
return retval;
}

Here it needs to make a copy of its `contents` string, using NXCopyStringBufferFromZone, when the copy of Cell is expecting to free that memory (cFlags1.freeText).

OpenStep introduced reference counting and the NSCopying protocol, and removed the `copyWithZone:` implementation in NSObject.

So the equivalent implementation in OpenStep's NSCell class could be:

- (id)copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone
{
NSCell *retval;
retval = NSCopyObject(self, 0, zone);
[retval->contents retain];
return retval;
}

they sell... Oil, gas and other minerals that make our life go around... It makes that computer your typing on, and gets 90% of us to work/ around.

I get it, use of gas and oil causes pollution... But that's on the end user, no? I know people love to villify gas companies, but they are some of the most productive engines of society.
In this talk, Tom applies functional programming ideas to the problem of building an interactive music sequencer. Be sure to watch to the end; the demo is amazing! (PS: if you're out there Tom, I hope you're doing well!)

Well that's the beauty of it, isn't it - right now even if the real Satoshi came out and said it was him all along, no one would believe him. It's the ultimate anonimity.
As I said in a parallel thread, if you're going for "most number of facts you can recite per hour of time spent studying", I can well believe flashcards with a 70% failure rate are "optimum". But if you're trying to have a conversation, watch a movie, or read a newspaper article, and there's a 30% chance you're not going to recognize any given word, you're going to have a hard time.

What you really want is an appropriate level of difficulty for an entire thing you're trying to understand. This could be either because you have one completely new word per paragraph, or because you have 5 moderately difficult words, or 10 not-too-hard words. The fact that the rest of the words might already be super easy for you doesn't mean you aren't still reinforcing them.

That's basically what my algorithm is trying to do: hand you something to read (a sentence, paragraph, section, chapter, whatever) that's at the "right level" of effort for you.

Greatest Educational Life Hack is getting your children to love going to school.
I would say the opposite; talk to your child only in your native language. Kids will learn English by themselves in school anyway, and if they don't learn your language from you, they for sure won't learn it elsewhere.

Source: as a kid I was in that situation, at first my parent spoke only in English with me and I started to forget Portuguese. After my parents realized that they pivoted to speaking Portuguese. I learned English fine at school and never had problems with either languages. Now I'm a parent of a 2yo and 1yo and am speaking Portuguese with both.

It's...interesting.

Liberals are generally supportive of Big Tech, and the so-called MAGA (or right-wing) aren't. We've seen Elon Musk dig deep into GOP support and Tesla now has two quarters of year-over-year sales declines. In this age of such polarizing politics in the US, is it wise for a company or their founders to make such endorsements - especially when it's out of step with the majority of their market and the people supporting them?

This happens both ways, too. We saw what happened to Bud Light when they ran a pride campaign - from which they're still recovering. Tractor Supply Company is currently reeling from their "woke" campaign. Both companies have right-wing majority markets and they lost significant sales and market share.

In light of this - why make such endorsements?

If anything, compare and contrast policies - and be specific. No hand-waving. Then regardless of who becomes president they understand your business concerns without you risking alienating a significant portion of your customer base.
Not really clear who is actually moving here but seems like an insanely bad idea if it's actually a remarkable amount of the engineers that do the work.

No one will want to move, the very best will have the strongest ability to pivot into a new gig, and effectively he'd just be 1) culling many of the most quality workers out of the company and 2) massively losing institutional memory.
