They probably will fall fast into tragedy of the commons kind of situations. We developed most of our civilization while there was enough room for growing and big decisions were centralized, and started to get into bad troubles when things

Learned programming with Pascal, and Turbo Pascal (not the language itself) was what blew my mind back then. The Swag libraries weren't the language itself neither, but for pre-internet age they were a jump forward. Then had to do thin

The devil is in the details. It would be just the global internet? What would want to have in our local (continent, country, city, home, etc) internet provided that I have enough resources? The balkanization of Internet is still in the menu

There are measures to prevent or at least mitigate that, like RPKI. But having a sensible improvement doesn’t mean that everyone is using it, look at IPv6.

The trie approach seemed to be a bit plain. Tries are particularly good for storing netblocks, and see if a particular IP belongs to some block stored there. But is better to use binary values instead of strings, and to use patricia or radi

It means “every couple of years” by now. Maybe not in the very exact place, but that phrase has been used to describe a lot of extreme weather events in the last few years.

“His lips are moving” is a fireproof detection method. At least for politicians and marketers.

The whole picture will be far more complex. In any case, we will go from the mostly stable system we had for the last 15-20k years to an increasingly more unstable one.

Schools should ban the teaching of math so future criminals won’t be able to use encryption for their evil deeds. It is not a thin line the one you are crossing.

And there are different kinds of big fish. You may be in a bad neighborhood, sharing IP with misbehaved actors on the digital or real world. You may get blocked, banned or snooped because there is or was a target, an attacker or someone wit

Not just this water cycle will be disrupted, most of the other “stable” cycles on which the global ecosystem and the human civilization are based on will get disrupted too. Pushing the system off balance will make things harder to survive w

Don't look forward but look back. A secure open format with many possible open source frontends (like keepass/keepassx/keepassxc) and maybe cloud sync.

This kind of writing reminds me the different churches "knowing" how something that they describe as almighty, omniscient and eternal thinks.

Taleb's Skin in the Game seem to be related to this, but from a different optic. Goodhart's Law is also mentioned, but is not the core argument. In the end, is about agency, who have it, and system dynamics to get rid of responsib

The explanation more than a single factor could be all over the place, positive feedback loops are adding their own weight to emissions and direct warming. Less ice and permafrost, more forest fires, warming waters and so on may be having b

It was a weaker El Niño than I.e. 2016 one. And it ended, by May, but still temperatures are far higher than what they should be. There are still record breaking months or only surpassed by 2023 ones.

It should be a Murphy Law about complex system having a perverse way of developing if you take them out of balance, or at least of the way they used to be by their own.

I’m more fan of BorgBackup, but you have to couple it with I.e. rclone for it to make backups to cloud object storage. But that opinion is based on my particular use case, probably would be using restic if direct to cloud was a better choi

Like with the Murphy’s Law, you are looking at the wrong side of the stick. It’s like the Texas sharpshooter fallacy, you paint the target after the shots has been made. I remember some critics on Ringworld’s Teela Brown superpower, that wa

For fiction it would be Dan Simmons’s Hyperion for me, it would be a great short stories anthology, but is far more than that. Regarding Non-Fiction, my current bet would be Antifragile by Taleb.

Everything happening around the poles, that is where the biggest increases in average temperature have happened, should be worrying. When you replace ice/snow (that is good reflecting light and heat from the sun) with something darker

Nokia had a chance for greatness around 2010 with Maemo and Meego. And either by stupidity or malice they ruined that. It was the right moment to have a chance, the smartphone game was still starting up, Nokia was still very influential in

Used BorgBackup 1.x with rclone, backing up in a local repository and then sending it to S3 with Rclone. For the way that borg works with files, most of the historic data lies on old, untouched files in the repository, only a catalog and th

The problem is not how much solar we add, but that it is not corresponded with a reduction of demand of fossil fuels. Not sure about 2024, but at least for the years of the ourworldindata info it was still on its way up. And the solution is

So far we are still increasing the rate at which we extract fossil fuels, even with all the investment in renewables and alternate power sources in the last decades ( https://ourworldindata.org/fossil-fuels ). The Jevon parad

There are or were this kind of fertilizer shipments from other dates or countries that weren’t cataloged as megabombs? Maybe even bigger. A weapon is a weapon no matter who holds it. If coming from other sources, maybe in even bigger amount

If the floor have 0º of inclination you can walk up and down without risk of falling down, 10º is still good, 20º? probably on. But there is some point after which most people could slip down. There, that is boundary. It is not a meaningles

Maybe some may fall into the IOT/Embedded category. Wouldn't be very surprise if i.e. a cheap wifi camera have cups installed just because and jumps out in this scan.
