I presume this is also to protect human settlements from Wolves and Bears? Probably a bad idea to leave a bunch of corpses near humans...

You say "If you can't even satisfy such simple terms, it's your own fault." But you yourself fail to satisfy such simple terms as HN's Guidelines[1], which clearly state "Don't be snarky." </m

I've read "A Christmas Carol", not sure how it relates to what I wrote. Can you explain?

OK, I see, but it shows a different value for the absolute number of days, that's weird.

Is that a bug? I interpret it as from midnight 2016-04-04 to the first time which has the date 2019-01-31. That includes the full day of 2016-04-04 but nothing from 2019-01-31. This is contrasted with the opposite direction which is midnigh

For most of history most skilled workers worked from home or lived in the workplace: watchmakers, metal workers, shoemakers. Newton was working from home when he developed his version of calculus. While it is not new to have a study or a wo

You just have to stop using linked in unfortunately. My account got randomly locked with this id verification message, and even going through the id verification doesn't help. I wasted hours trying to get back in but its totally useles

The only expensive part is the hardwarevfor the elastic servers. Kafka is cheap to run. We have an on prem elastic db pulling in tens of thousands of events per second. On prem servers aren't that expensive. It's really just 6 s

At the company I work for we send json to kafka and subsiquently to Elastic search with great effect. That's basically 'wide events'. The magical thing about hooking up a bunch of pipelines with kafka is that all of a sudden

Underfinancialization also sucks. In Czechia there are tons of empty or uninsulated buildings that their owners could put to good economic use if only they could borrow money.

I can recommend Ellen Ulman, The Bug. She's a treat.

I have to say this is very well written. So much long form stuff is just fluff, but this had some nice narative, a beginning a middle AND an end.

I would simply tax the sale of fossil fuels. Sure, there are other major sources of carbon in agriculture, but for every gram of carbon from fossile fuels oil, gas or coal is bought or mined. I would go with the simple thing, I don't t

Rewarding emissions reductions is a pretty weird perverse incentive. Those who emit the most await the greatest reward. Carbon credits are in general pretty stupid, a carbon tax is what is needed. Sometimes I think we should have only an LV

What inertia do you mean? Demand or supply? Sure, decomissioning anuclear plant takes decades but a coal plant can be shut down in about 48 hours I think and at that point produces no new emissions...

Their legal argumentation is extremely weak. That said, if they do end up having to pay $2500 per violation they'll probably go bankrupt...
