Let’s see, comparing a movement spawned by very clear science that we are endangering our future to an industrial lobby that is lying to maintain profits.

Sorry. Nope. That is intellectual dishonesty of the first rate.

Trust. Intentions. Truth.

So many things that underlie society’s ability to function, and one damages them at our collective peril.

The boy who cried wolf is a story that teaches which moral lesson ?

You stop and ask for directions, what if the person deliberately lied to you and sent you to a dangerous place?

There is an implicit web of trust and kindness that comes from our ancient past and underlies all of society. Capitalism and political posturing are poisoning the well of all our drinking water.

How strange that survival is something you have to convince people of the value of.

The mere fact that our collective behavior is what is causing this means that at some point there will be a fight for the steering wheel.

Humanity appears incapable of collective action. Any future historians, perhaps some kind of advanced insectoid races archeologists, will say that humanities Achilles heel was being incapable of collective action.

Piquing that uniquely human pride and arrogance is a deliberate strategy by some, but the consequences are dismissed by the same, as they are unable to grasp that this will lead to their own downfall too. Even the most dystopian arms dealer must eventually eat.

It’s anger turned inward. That anger should be directed at the mentality and behavior killing planet earth.

To the degree that you impede solutions to climate change, you deserve some of that anger

Does the phrase: the public interest, mean anything to you?

One profiteers externality is all of humanities shared future.

There is no planet B, and if we can’t take reasonable care of our home planet, we can’t be trusted with others.

I blame capitalism for incentivizing bad behavior and calling collective damage an externality

And your so-called-quality of life comes with the price of extinguishing any future above ground for our grandchildren, mass extinctions, and a whole lot of low quality of life for the vast majority of humanity.

We MUST prioritize R&D for precisely the things you mention, but the onus is on industry to adapt, not stymie necessary conversations and necessary change.

Get on board

I basically agree, I have. My account of my limited experience is above. I never managed to get recommendations beyond kids dancing to pop songs with their dog

I downloaded it, noticed that the initial content I was shown was some kids and their dog dancing to a pop song. Recorded myself drumming a fancy beat with some stick twirling, edited it to a short loop. (Not sure how these folks do anything musically related, the apps loop point setting was coarse and it took me ages to make it loop properly) I opened the app a few more times, saw more videos of people dancing to pop songs. Saw that I still had zero views two days later. I never managed to find any content that didn’t look like a line dance or a wanna be mc-hammer video. More kids dancing to pop music with their dogs. Never managed to find the addictive content.

YouTube has me fairly pegged, however, I can usually safely skip the channel welcome and plea for likes and subscribe and hit meaty content showing me some woodworking or culinary tricks, etc.

The takeaway for me is that a superficial ADHD format results in or best features superficial ADHD content. It’s not like I couldn’t see the restless nature of it and how it could thrive in our short attention span contemporary society, it’s that I felt it to be one more rung down a ladder shortcutting our race to be bottom.

But I’m atypical, admittedly. I have never owned a tv in my life. Don’t Netflix or HBO or whatever is on these days, and YouTube tutorials are about as “vegging out” as I get. I want less screen time in life, not more.

But yay for the tiktok devs, good job on the successful app

You won the internet today IMO

Humans already live in a collective hallucination known as social reality. It’s a distinct overlay, distinct from our physical contextual realities and the phenomena we derive our physical laws from etc. overlay of what? Don’t ask. Variously explained as wiggles or turtles all the way down, or so I was told. I just wanted to point out that we flap our gums or thumbs a lot and ping concepts in each other’s minds via language, but speaking about stuff is not the same as the stuff itself.

Come on, do you expect me to believe that this sort of activity would occur in a Facebook branded world? You’d be lucky to get anything done the rest of your life. Political arguments with 3 meter tall taking porpoises would occupy any time left as you dodge walking ads.

Life

That is very important context to know. Thanks

Both sides? The public vs NSO clients or what? Debate? It’s more like an exposé, hopefully followed by investigations and criminal trials or at least mega class action lawsuits. Their spyware was used for murdering countless humans. The list of target phone numbers was heavy on cartel victims etc, in case you hadn’t heard.

Are you essentially saying that nothing could convince you of the link between extreme weather becoming common and global warming? Because you sound skeptical of the link. The urgency is real. By the time holdouts from the big oil propaganda are convinced it will be too late. It’s likely already too late, but since there is no up to give, we shall die trying to solve this shame of our ignorant selfish generation.

Contact them as soon as possible. It preserves a character reference and you wouldn’t likely just get to keep it by some bookkeeping mistake, and could later prove troublesome

I would have downvoted here instead of arguing with you as I am doing, lol. I disagree. I strongly dislike moderation ( it feels like an unfair boss coming in and using tricky stuff to avoid directly addressing the moderated party. Cowardice. Injustice. Etc…and such lousy grammatical constructions as “you are posting too fast”. Someone inform the HN bot that quickly is an adverb and that fast is an adjective, many incorrectly written street signs notwithstanding.

Is there more than one Philz now?

I disagree. To me they are flavorless and overly sweet with no satisfying butteryness etc

Did you just claim that this recent pacific heatwave is not linked to climate change? That puts you in scientific fringe territory as an outlier. Such an event is statistically highly highly unlikely as a singular event. When you tie it into all the other One in a Million events such as extreme flooding in summertime Central Europe and China you start to really have to do a lot of handwaving to pretend that it’s not climate change caused by humans burning hundreds of millions of years of sequestered carbon.

Frankly, such radical statements as you made right here undermine this piece that we should be discussing here. It means that you are one of “those” people (climate change denialism in 2021 is an anachronism not supported by any substantive evidence) and it suggest that perhaps we shouldn’t take this piece here seriously, which is not what I grokked from reading it. You do this piece above an associative disservice if you truly hope it to be taken seriously you should refrain from attaching frivolous false commentary. The recent pacific heatwave would likely not have happened if we didn’t burn petroleum like there is no tomorrow.

This piece above, meanwhile, purports to debunk two studies that are claimed to be methodologically flawed. The author does not claim that neonicotinoids don’t harm insects, but rather targets the work of specific individuals. I only gave a cursory read, nor do I have access to the materials to evaluate, nor the domain knowledge.

Well, if you do decide to go for it, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair, as there’s a good possibility that you’ll meet some gentle people.

Are there more backend options than node?

It sounds like a positive incentive to cleanup the processes involved. Where there is a will,there is a way, etc. I don’t think that offshoring dirty industry is anything but NIMBYism and ultimately we need to cleanup electronics fabrication

While climate change denialists minimize and try to pretend that more analysis is needed before lifting our smallest finger to change the obvious problem (humans burning hundreds of millions of years of sequestered carbon in the span of 150 years)

It’s actually rather urgent that we collectively acted like the singular species we are, and acted yesterday already.

Don’t wait til 2030 to phase out whatever, let’s go full bore and do it now dedicating our full combined engineering might to tackle the problem. IS HUMANITY CAPABLE OF COLLECTIVE ACTION IF OUR LIVES DEPEND UPON IT?

You know those films with alien invasions where humanity comes together to fight it, can you imagine traitorous factions saying the alien invasion is just a myth? Undermining all that is needed for collective action

Not requiring ones next generation to be precisely from local genetic stock is a good start. Being able to absorb refugees into ones culture vs crying on and on about low domestic birth rates, that’s a pet peeve of mine

There is no historical precedent for the CO2 levels since well before mammalian life surged to the fore. Burning hundreds of millions of years of sequestered carbon in the span of 150 years turns out to have consequences. The carbon cycle has been known about for roughly the same time period that we’ve been in accelerated burning mode. Oil companies also extensively researched the likely impact of continued fossil fueled economic activity and the results confirmed what we know today. The oil companies decided to bury these findings and instead paid for the dissemination of rhetoric such as you are emitting here. It’s based on deceptive data and a tactic to always deny the link between human burning of fossil fuels and drastic climate change such as humans have never seen before.

Here, I see your untrue statement and raise you an info graphic https://xkcd.com/1732/

I blame it all on that one Beck song, plus that one Radiohead song

Gimme a fast compiler

You are on a roll, buddy. Don’t leave us hanging.

Since we are in anecdotal territory, let me state that I’ve been a heavy smoker since I was 13, and I’m 46 now. I find it difficult to concentrate on coding without weed. I have a very low resting heart rate and enjoy hill climbs on my bicycle and am quite fit, motivated, and not lazy, etc.

I generally suffer exclusively the singular negative effect of others finger wagging and disapproval of a rather pleasurable funcional vice or medication or whatever you wish to call it.

I’ve quit a few times for up to a year and always decided consciously to go back. One of the times I left tobacco behind. Countless studies will only ever have access to what users are willing to divulge, to the degree that it’s not an open regulated or at least informed market.

There is an interesting singular fact. Not one single overdose death has ever been conclusively linked to cannabis. The LD50 is something crazy like 15kg in the span of 15 minutes for a 75kg human.
