Except "Reduce Motion" is one of the most well-known and praised setting, it has been passed on as a tip to increase the overall snappiness for as long as the setting existed.
To the point people regularly ask for a stronger setting to straight disable animations and not just reduce them.
The original scope was "all of our operations and value chain", the new one " every grid where we operate", which is significantly smaller. It's also now limited to their electric ("grid") consumption.
From the top of my head, on the previous definition a Google Street View car running the streets for instance would have been required to be net-zero emissions, while in the new definition I read it as out of scope.
A few individuals lying wouldn't fly if the general public didn't buy/turn a blind eye on it.
Apart from the few who still straight believed the bullshit while every other country involved publicly called it, I think many in the US just believed it would benefit them in the long run (cheaper oil) or just didn't care that much about war (the Gulf War didn't cause that much political trauma after all)
> A few individuals lying wouldn't fly if the general public didn't buy/turn a blind eye on it.
It wasn’t a blind eye for years. The public was more trusting of institutions back then and it took a while of failed answers and excuses and then finally investigations and leaks for people to finally believe that their government lied to them.
It was a lot easier to believe that either you didn’t have all the facts or that was a mistake had been made vs believing that the institutions were actively, maliciously, telling falsehoods
And 60 years ago the US got into Vietnam on a completely fabricated incident.
People reading many books doesn't help when a few entities control all the information people get.
This is why the internet is so important and why people who want to save us from disinformation have more blood on their hands than every false news peddler outside the government.
If we want to be precise, the US got into Vietnam because the French left Vietnam (and someone made the argument that it couldn't possibly be left to the USSR and China).
To my knowledge, even before HP-48 level calculators came in the classroom nobody cared about arithmetic past middle school. The core of the teaching was proofs and a lot more theory, and that went on into CS for me.
I'd compare it to the ability to write and run basic assembly. We did it, and got checked on it, but that was not what we were there for.
yeah, lots of them. Every day. All the time. But you’d have to learn to understand that most of the problem you have with Jira has nothing to do with the tool and everything to do with how it’s been implemented.
I beg to differ. Jira can be used in a sensible way, but that absolutely not how the tool is pitched nor how it guides user and companies. I'd compare it to giving users a 30 tools swiss army knife when all they should be using is the + driver and the scissors.
The issue being that teams that have that maturity don't need to kitchen sink in the first place and will be combining their own selected tools. That's how so many teams can get by with Notion and Gitlab only.
I spent more than a decade in JIRA and the Atlassian suite and can't think of any synergy that I miss TBH. Confluence in particular was fine for the time but does it stand the current competition ?
Adding capacity isn't free either, in particular on environmental costs and/or additional risks. We haven't been trying to reduce consumption for a few decades now just to be cute, the tradeoff just wasn't worth it.
Maybe it is? The US has ample land and money to build out clean energy, there’s zero excuse not to be adding capacity.
It’s literally the governments job to build out the infrastructure for society to thrive. Don’t blame technology for getting better, blame the government for not doing their job.
The money part doesn't ring true given the current US political climate. That's not the president you elect when your future looks bright.
> society to thrive
Does society thrive on AI though ? And is the technology better ?
Those are real questions. My answers would be no, we have better use for our resources. If we need to sacrifice for something, at least be it worth it.
What would happen if you deeply insulted a cop at night during a routine check ?
What would be the impact on your life of publicly calling names your company's CEO on social media ? You make it sound like a defamation lawsuit is peanuts, when you'd probably be fighting against an army of lawyer while you're unemployed, if you're in the US that definitely sounds like a life defining event.
I also wonder if most authoritarian régimes even have prison camps ?
