> subsidizing fossil fuels to 7 trillion a year globally

This is misleading. See https://www.slowboring.com/i/145942190/the-case-of-the-myste...

> The vast majority of the “subsidies” are “implicit subsidies,” which include “undercharging for environmental costs.” In other words, they are characterizing governments’ failure to impose a carbon tax as a “subsidy” for fossil fuel use.

I think Wikipedia has it wrong actually after reading more closely. It’s not a way to solve the year 10,000 problem, as in a date formatting issue akin to Y2K, as Wikipedia suggests.

Instead it’s to get you thinking of the long term future.

The Wikipedia article does say that is the goal of the Long Now Foundation, but not how the leading 0 is related.

Guessing it’s from following the style of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Now_Foundation

The noughties!

When I sign up for a service, I don’t expect them to break the law on my behalf, regardless of their advertising.

I pay for both, use them for different things, but to be clear, fastmail does not have the encryption features that ProtonMail does. Not a direct replacement if you’re interested in the privacy aspects.

I’ve used the iPhone app daily for almost 10 years at this point and it is reliable for me. What problems do you have?

One of the best TV shows of all time, I second your recommendation. Rare show that gets better with each season.

> You're on a ship going between destinations, but there's no light-speed shortcut, or jump-cut to the destination. Instead, you have to maintain the ship for the entire duration of the journey.

Neptune's Pride [0] is a fantastic real-time strategy game that has this feature without the maintenance part. You play the game over the course of days instead of minutes or hours. And it may take hours for your ships to reach their destinations. A ton of fun with friends.

Yes

In NYC, you typically need to earn 40x the monthly rent in annual income to not need a guarantor. 73k / 40 = $1825/month in rent.

The median 1 bedroom apartment in NYC is $3,263 according to Zillow https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/new-york...

“In a word, no.” I thought this was crazy.

This is John Britton, not Jeff Lawson, but an example of the live coding. Epic demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VuXIgp9S7o

Woah! I love Neptune’s Pride, thanks for the game!

While in college, I stayed at a hacker house airbnb over the summer with a bunch of newly befriended tech friends, and I got us all playing. I have fond memories of changing the trajectories of my ships as soon as people went to bed, double-crossing alliances. Good times.

I find it amusing that you live somewhere known for such an obscure tendency.

They’re joking. The cliché in criminal investigations is the suspect needs means, motive, and opportunity to commit the crime. You gave motive, so means and opportunity remain.

Since you said you don’t know much about licenses, I suggest you check out https://writefreesoftware.org/learn/copyleft

AGPL is a copyleft license, MIT is not. There’s good reasons for a developer to prefer copyleft.

In New York, reservations are often necessary. A lot of restaurants don't do walk-ins.

We can just put them on the street, replacing parking spots.

Yeah, in monopoly you don’t have to pay rent if the property owner doesn’t notice.

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ to run Steam Link to stream games from my desktop computer upstairs to the TV in the living room. I managed to connect some XBox series controllers to it using Bluetooth by installing xpadneo drivers.

Totally off topic, but I just got two Xbox Series Controllers working over Bluetooth flawlessly, connected to a Raspberry Pi, using xpadneo driver. Can highly recommend that driver.

I think those two are the most reputable VPNs. I’ve used ProtonVPN for years just since I wasn’t aware of Mullvad at the time and can’t be bothered to switch. I believe ProtonVPN hasn’t had infrastructure audits, which Mullvad has had.

I use DDG and never feel the need to add !g, but if you do, try using !sp instead. Startpage takes Google’s results and proxies them.

I’m curious how this works with AGPL. Do they not have to release the source of the paid version?

Even Blu Ray isn’t DRM free unfortunately. Hard to own movies at all.

I've written about this phenomenon specifically with regard to intuitions and vegetarianism. Our intuitions are from system 1 thinking, which includes (for you and me) "yuck, meat". But those intuitions are downstream from things we have worked out from deliberate system 2 thinking.

So when I went vegetarian, it was very much not from an intuitive repulsion from meat (I loved meat), but from deliberate reasoning (system 2). But now that time has passed, I do have the "yuck, meat" response. It's like when you learn 12 x 12 = 144 for the first time, it takes work and effort. But then it becomes intuitive because you're so used to it, and your brain wants to cache that work.

So I imagine that after you reason about it for long enough (system 2), eventually your intuitions will update (system 1).

Maybe they can’t be so fully separated. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity
