Perhaps a somewhat naive question... could someone explain how this could be enforced against companies that are not based in Florida?

Who cares? Everyone is fixated on Bitcoin... there are tons of energy inefficient processes out there. The solution has nothing to do with Bitcoin... environmental impact needs to be priced into energy itself, whatever the application. This

I'm not sure how many climate scientists there are specifically, but scientists will see impacts even if they're not studying climate change specifically. Biologists are noticing changes, eg. trees flowering earlier than normal [1

Since you can go from diffs to snapshots, and snapshots to diffs, aren't they basically equivalent? I'm struggling to see the important consequences at the user level.

Everyone, let's have this "secure" service where we put _ALL_ of our sensitive data!! Including export controlled materials? To be honest, it seems like PII including SSN leak regularly. Whatever... freeze your credit and get

I used to love DO. It was like 3 clicks to set up a VPS. You paid $5/month. Then they started adding support for object store, managed databases, projects, etc, etc. Now the interface is more complicated. I guess competition with other

In no way detracting from your awesome toy project, intrigued people might also want to check out vitetris. Very similar tetris in the terminal with ncruses, but also supports network play! https://github.com/vicgeralds&#x2F

Pretty cool terminal visualizations, but tbh straight unix tools allow you to do this (might be different than 4th column for you depending on history format): `history | awk '{print $4}' | sort | uniq -c | sort` 56 tree

This reminds me of "The Mundanity of Excellence" [1] which similarly argues that talent is a useless concept: - Talent just obfuscates the qualitative attributes that contribute to excellence. - Individuals are identified as talen

This is also concerning because it contradicts the general sentiment here on HN that You Should Be Blogging . Maybe you shouldn't... or at very least, there's more to consider than first appears.

Yes, echoing the enthusiasm for gnucash! I'm just passing 3 years tracking every credit card purchase over to investment allocations in gnucash. At the end of the day, double entry accounting is double entry accounting and you should b

So, it’s more like you observe somewhere in the range of 5-10 cars for the duration of the commute depending on how densely you’re surrounded on average? That’s really interesting, and if you see 1 mistake per commute, then the average driv

This seems like a pretty good idea on the surface. I'm curious how the SAT and ACT standardized testing in the US came into the position of almost de-facto standardized college entrance exam. On the other hand, I've wondered why a

The article mentions that microplastics are found at the bottom of the Mariana trench, but fails to mention that even plastic bags and candy wrappers have been found [1]. No need to look at Carbon-14 to find far reaching impacts of humans.

I was tempted to say this, but am conflicted because I still think it's important for individuals to be conscientious about their actions. Individual actions accumulate to potentially large impacts. However, in general, I agree with yo

Nitpicking the 25000 metric tons of CO2 quoted in glass manufacturing is essentially inconsequential. Whereas according to [1] aviation produced 915 million metric tonnes of CO2 in 2019 and estimates globally 43 billion tonnes of CO2 produc

I'm sure the reasons for this trend are incredibly complex, but I suspect that undergraduate degrees are increasingly failing to accurately signal competence, pushing those wishing to distinguish themselves to pursue graduate studies.

There's also https://github.com/google/latexify_py out there. Handcalcs seems to have a more extensive readme at least. Does anyone have a comparison?

Your sibling comments are seem to be mostly trying to poke holes in the statement about COVID. Independent of our performance modeling COVID, we need to admit that we get things wrong and this is applicable to climate modeling. AND there&#x

Basically every piece of advice on negotiating a promotion says something like "I just bought a car, and I need more money" is not a good argument in support of a promotion. But now the employer is using the same reasoning against
