One thing I don't understand is how US, Japan and S.Korea led high-tech outsourced manufacturing efforts in China. As far as I understand everything is hunky dory starting with _Good will_ from Deng, until China became world's manufacuting hub. Only then it became a huge issue. My question is didn't any one consider China's current rise in late 80's and early 90's when they started outsourcing manufacturing?
I think the idea was to let china do the dirty work of manufacturing and staying at that. That didn't work as we we can now see. And I'm blaming the west's confidence of conveniently outsourcing the production to China thinking they'll always be in control.
Correlated to that US would also lose its huge influence in financial institutions world wide. Right now US influnce is preventing World Bank funds from being used to pay for One Belt projects. Few countries want to pay off loans for One belt project using Western loans. If China had been sole superpower, it would have bulldozed even more on projects similar to One Belt project than it is currently doing now.
At the timescale and costs needed to combat climate change, trees will be prohibitively expensive(land, fresh water) and slow. If reducing global carbon with plants was easy, governments wouldn't probably be complaining about protocols, solutions for almost 3 decades starting with Kyoto discussions. Can we stop mentioning planting trees as ultimate solution everytime carbon capture research comes up?
> Can we stop mentioning planting trees as ultimate solution everytime carbon capture research comes up?
Fine, but by the same token, the absence of progress on climate change is because there is no political will, not because it is hard. With enough adults in the room, we could have solved this problem 20 or 30 years ago at comparatively little cost.
We can manage grassland and savanah. Grasses exudate a lot of their sugars (carbon) into the ground feeding the microbes. Holistically managed grassing is all about timing the regrowth and recycling the nutrients and fibers through the cow.
The prairies are amazing ecosystem pumping carbon into the ground when properly managed.
But, are the meaningful changed regarding information, education etc. caused by US or inspite of US? Technology and Science improving tremendously in 20th century had more to do with these changes. I would say WWI and WWII caused more of these technology and travel being available.
One of the stated goals of Go2 is forward and backward compatibility. We have to see how well this pans out when Go2 is released.
> Go 2 must also bring along all the existing Go 1 source code. We must not split the Go ecosystem. Mixed programs, in which packages written in Go 2 import packages written in Go 1 and vice versa, must work effortlessly during a transition period of multiple years. We'll have to figure out exactly how to do that; automated tooling like go fix will certainly play a part.
It's an admirable goal, and we'll see whether it works out in practice. Remember, this entire thread is about JDK updates. Java also explicitly has forward and backward compatibility as a design goal, but then sun.misc.Unsafe turned out to be a bigger headache than most people thought, and upgrading to Java 11 will require many companies to update core dependencies, and unfortunately a lot of companies would rather pay for Java 8 support than put in the maintenance effort.
Even if there's 99% compatibility, if upgrading requires anything more than updating the compiler, even if it's just adding a runtime flag and the upgrade effort should be minimal, you're going to see significant resistance from companies with large codebases.
Can you back up that lynching/WhatsApp with some numbers or statistics? Riots used to happen left and right in India for before 90's. A famous politician or actor died, a politician resigned or doing protest, religious demonstrations etc. Lot of the city will be closed. This situation got a lot better after economic liberalization and what followed. Is there a reversal to this trend that you are talking about?
First, regarding the tweet you posted: It ignores the recent years. There are still local maximas in that graph. Second, it only concerns riots and leaves out any other type of violence. But that will be more clear upon how the author interprets 'riots'. It is just a graph without any explanation. Third, I could not find source of the data myself, as the graph is not from a peer reviewed journal so it can be easily discarded. Fourth, tweet is from a person who serves in the current government aka it is like Sarah Sanders, a vested interest always defending the government.
Communal violence under Modi has increased, even if it is a local maxima but their rhetoric is acerbic towards minorities and it shows. Now onto the communal violence sources:-
I'm not so sure the first Mars colonists will wait that long. If humanity's Terran history is any indicator, they'll ferment every last drop of it into space hooch.
I'm not confident that Unions would work for huge issue that is coming up - Mass Mechanization. There will be very few jobs Robotics will not be able to replace in a decade or so. This will easily facilitate few people owning large chunks of means of production. I don't see any serious solutions to this issue on the horizon.
It's not just about throwing garbage into trash can. The main question is about how much of garbage is being recycled? And who will pay for the recycling if you mandate 5 different types of garbage and mandate maximum possible recycling? Many of the European countries have major focus on percentage of garbage being recycled. Some countries even reached 70% or so and have plans to increase it even further.
Again, I don't disagree with anything you are saying here, it just seemed you were implying before that corporations hold some kind of responsibility to ensure trash doesn't end up on the ground.
When in my (limited) experience, 99% of trash on the ground is from the public, while 99% of pollution of the water ways (edit: and landfills) is from corporations/industry/government. (1% being the exceptions, and these being made up numbers anyways...)
Same here. In addition, if I think I will visit certain website only once, I open it in private mode and disable umatrix for all domains in the site for a quick view.
I use Firefox containers along with cookie autodelete so each tab gets a clean slate unless I've auto-mapped it to a container (where I've white-listed cookies - eg. a Facebook container where I only visit facebook.com)
Much safer to disable umatrix in the normal tabs then.
I think you can obtain the same result with just uMatrix. Block cookies by default, and whitelist them in individual scopes so that they don't follow you anywhere else. Do containers provide any further benefit over this?
