Which frequent flyers are telling everyone else to cut down emissions? Do you mean just those rich enough to use private jets?

While I think this is useful, I am skeptical of the numbers given the recent satellite measurements.

Incentivizing the development of suburbs and lots of driving is unnecessary.

Obviously. What I don’t understand is why those who claim to be concerned are focused on one and ignoring the other, bigger problem. We should be prioritizing efficiency in emissions.

While I am completely convinced that humans are changing the climate, I am not convinced that air travel is the big contributor claimed by many. We are only now getting satellite evidence of the amount of methane venting being done industri

These ratios are still much better than state prisons. I have visited both kinds.

It is generally true that Federal prisons are less unpleasant than state prisons. Federal prisons have people convicted of things like interstate wire fraud. State prisons have most of the rapists and murderers, as these are rarely Federal

I am not optimistic that there will not be some other resource or reason for which governments will eschew principles.

I use these images to remind me not to waste time on things like Facebook and Twitter. This makes me realize I should add Hacker News to the list.

Why would they have to be based on the calls? Facebook already knows a lot about the participants.

And now they are like other bad organizations (e.g., police departments that have a history of shooting unarmed people) in the respect that nobody wants to be associated with them, so they can only recruit from the bottom.

Impact is a good way to put it. At least dumb, unwise people have less impact.

You were okay with him calling a stranger a "pedo guy"?

by mcculley 4y ago
No way. He is undoubtedly smart and well-documented as unwise. I have seen enough organizations run by smart, unwise people.

Do you happen to know when Apple will be able to put a modem into a MacBook Pro?

This presupposes that humanity is better off with fewer humans. I am far from convinced that this is the case.

Luddite is not the best term. The way I have been putting it: We are all Amish now, forced to evaluate each new technology we use lest it use us.

Sarcasm should be downvoted.

I appreciate you digging this up. It is still unclear to me how a Weixin ID corresponds to a government issued ID and how an app would know that a user is a minor. The Chinese mandate you linked to describes the same rules as elsewhere, but

I am only 50. I have only been legally working for 34 years. I have been advised by HR at various companies to avoid relationships with coworkers for more than "the last ten years". While I find the notion of "inappropriate r

I wrote relationships, not friendships. I maintain that having sex with coworkers is ill-advised, but not for the same reasons as employers and their HR departments.

by mcculley 4y ago
Many people are young, single, and don't yet have a family. They want more opportunities to meet people. Not that I think work should be where people find relationships, but rather that different age groups have different needs and des

Every app is using WeChat? TikTok coordinates with WeChat? Or uses the same API? Is this documented somewhere?

by mcculley 4y ago
Yes, coordination between apps would be the hard part and I see no evidence that it exists. There is a lot of writing in English that does not point to anything canonical from China. It does not make clear exactly what obligations are place
