I'm not so sure that Villeneuve is such a great fit. I find the dominant feeling in his films is always one of dread or disgust, or both. In a way, I'd rather have a more "neutral" director tackle this. Take Carl Sagan's Contact for example. I know it's not exactly like Story of Your Life, but it's something of a reference in the way it was adapted to cinema. One of the things that give the movie its power and beauty is the director's humility: he doesn't try to make a cinematic experiment out of it. Granted, the fact that Sagan was involved in the production and originally intended the story to be adapted to cinema is also an important factor.

In fact, the best thing would probably be Ted Chiang getting similarly involved in the production!
1. I learned years ago that just because someone has a PhD, does not mean they're not also an idiot. Work with enough PhDs and you'd agree.

2. The comments are a reaction to the story, not a reflection on the character of the author. Most comments are about interviewers that make the same mistake the author did before the author realized their erroneous assumption. They're engaging in group validation of an immediate opinion or feeling without thorough analysis, or what is also known as "commenting on the internet".

3. Remember one of the cardinal rules of HN about meta-commenting? Yeah, it doesn't really help.
Reminds me of the first episode of Twin Peaks where there is reflection of key evidence in the eyes of a character in a video recording...
Question: what's the best way to show support for this kind of answer? Should I simply send them a mail saying "hey thanks"?
I found this interview with former chief scientific advisor for climate change to the UK Government and Oxford professor Sir David King both timely and relevant to your point. He now works at the Centre of Climate Repair at Cambridge.

> Agricultural and industrial emissions across the board account for the rest.

Agricultural and industrial emissions only exist because of consumer demand. If consumers stop consuming the things that cause those emissions the producers will stop making them.
I really like the "standing on the shoulders of giants" quote because it brings into perspective the fact that direct comparison doesn't make a lot of sense, especially in fields that are continuously growing and evolving (like science and art) and every generation starts where the previous ones left off.

Is Einstein a greater scientist than Newton? Are both of them better than Galileo? Now that would be a fun discussion at the pub, but with no real value. All of these guys benefited from previous work done by other "masters" and this helped them reach even greater heights.

Even in sports like chess, where it's a lot easier to compare matches and ratings across decades and even centuries you could debate that the old masters had a fraction of the resources available to current masters so the comparison doesn't really hold.
I must be one of the few that doesn't favor tiling as well. Kinda. My setup is unusual. Allow me two paragraphs to describe it and then why tiling wouldn't work for me.

I usually have 3 windows open at a given time, either a terminal/IM/notes program at the bottom right corner, vlc/deadbeef/copyq/scrcpy at the top right corner, and everything else is the main program I'm working with (2/3rds of the screen width, 100% of height, so stuff like Firefox, Krusader, vscode, Godot, Blender/Krita/GIMP/Inkscape, Audacity, qemu/Virtualbox, etc). I use 3 hotkeys to put a window into one of those 3 spots, via wmctrl, everything else is floating. If things get messy (like if I need a few virtual machines and seeing their contents all at once) I use virtual desktops.
I also assigned hotkeys that either open or focus specific programs (like meta+X to focus Konsole or launch it if it doesn't exist, meta+E for Krusader...) so I can quickly switch to them even if they are at the bottom of the stack or aren't opened yet. Got all sorts of custom launchers, clipboard processing and a lot more functions available to key combinations I can do with my left hand only (it's the "alt+tab" hand so I extended it to all important shortcuts).
The layout is a standard Windows style bottom panel (Used to have an Unity-style left sidebar but that gave me whiplash when using other computers) full of info/alert plasmoids, including custom ones. All support scripts are fairly universal and mostly work in other desktops, but KDE has nice configuration options to automate window settings, so it works better with it. Also got custom themes but I have no idea how to port them out of KDE. So KDE it is.

Anyway with the description out of the way, tiling might work fine if all you work with is terminals, a browser and other text sources, but for that I'd rather just have tmux managing the important stuff and extra Konsole tabs for the minor operations (or to passively display output of updates in a new self-destructing tab so it gets rid of itself if I forget to close after seeing the output). Because I work with many visual tools that need plenty of space (and don't like sudden resizing) the tiling workflow just can't work for me, anyway. I can see why some would prefer it, though. As I said my use case is unusual.
(Yeah I know artists would rather use Windows or Macs but my job requires Linux. My creative things are a hobby, but I wanted to have my cake and eat it. KDE has enough flexibility to let me hack it into submission, so it's not bad at all.)
I think many who have 'adult' ADHD probably had a form of it as a child, but had early interventions or other mitigating factors that made them not assessed as a child. Such as being poor, or being an ADHD inattentive type, or a girl (ADHD can show up differently in girls vs boys), or an inattentive 'twice exceptional' who is also highly intelligent, so they were well behaved and did 'good enough' in school that nobody really thought to give them a neuro-psychological assessment. Or their undiagnosed ADHD parents think their ADHD kid is normal, because it's close to their behavior set and thus never really thought of it being an issue.
Haskell's slogan was "avoid (success at all cost)", so it's hardly surprising that it's been considered niche since its inception.

It's seen adoption among at least a couple of large companies: Standard Chartered, and Facebook uses it to make a DSL for spam filtering. The key point for at least those adopters is that it has a fast turnaround time for quickly changing code and still having it be correct.

Is this objective data? No, certainly not, but it's probably better than pure speculation.

I personally speculate that it has a lot to do with what type of problem you're solving. If you're solving difficult/intricate problems language matters a great deal, but if you're just doing CRUD the language choice probably matters much less. Or if, as above, you're working in a domain where being correct the first time matters a lot.
A cryptocurrency scam isn't super reputable IMO.
Sure we “need to do that” but you know it won’t ever happen right?

Scientists have already said if we stop all emissions tomorrow, across the globe, we’re still hitting catastrophic climate change.

The boat to fix this left decades ago.

As much as I want this to be true, it's not. `io` is one of those libraries. That's going to break a lot of stuff, probably.

Very interesting to see how tech-giant employees are recognising their positions of leverage and feeling compelled to take a stance for what they believe in, even if they are unsure of what the implications may be.

A Turing machine is just one of many ways in which you could make a computing device. It is one of the easiest to mechanize and program for, which is why we use them but there is absolutely no reason to believe it is the only way of doing things. GP was getting at a more basic form of computation than the specific one performed by Turing machines. From a mathematical perspective the tape, the registers and instruction tables are all implementation details.
"Irrational exuberance" was ~1995, if I recall correctly, so obviously skepticism at the highest levels doesn't prevent bubbles.
Isn't it funny how most governments become less brutal as the technology and knowledge to influence and manipulate people becomes available to said governments. Not to sound too bleak, the flipside to this is that technology also enables people to coordinate and inform eachother of the actions of governments.

I don't think that they are the experts in this kind of trade-offs.
The infosec definition of trust is not really the same as the colloquial meaning of trust.

The infosec "trust" is not something earned or even verified, but an assumption that something is not malicious. Imagine a fortress: inside of the walls is called "trusted", outside of the walls is "untrusted". So a trusted CA merely means a certificate inside your fortress' walls that an attacker can't modify.
Video calls are available in any UMTS network (read 3G, without any extension) since they were deployed (i.e. early 2000). They do not involve any setup, just selecting "video call" instead of "audio call" when choosing contact and the phone number. To this day, any 3G phone with front-faced camera does support it.

Despite this, the adoption is near zero. I remember that I tried it once, just for the novelty and have quickly forgotten about it. Most people didn't even try it, despite the ad campaign by mobile companies.

So what makes you think, that when Apple comes with some features decades later, with many more limitations and complications (Am I on the wifi? Does the contact have iPhone? What it was called? Face-what?), that it will be more popular than zero-setup and seamless compatibility in billions of Nokias, Sony-Ericssons, Samsungs and LGs already shipped and used daily?
If somebody convinced my that the world isn't complicated, it would trigger a couple of warning flags of their own. Most likely, they fooled me.
Thank you in advance for putting my kids through college.
It's a really good implementation built by really smart people who are making a calamitous mistake with how they market their work, because, like Colin Percival on Hacker News, they don't fully appreciate how badly generalist developers will abuse this code. "Oh boy!", they don't realize those developers will think, "now I don't have to buy an SSL certificate!".
Many of the iPad news apps have functionality similar to this, but also give you a 'front page' like a website. For instance, the USA Today app allows you to browse the 'front' page, but once you select a story, a flick to the left or right moves to the next or previous story, while up and down scrolls the current story.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I have no idea where it is (and it would be on tape... transferring that would be another issue). I have fond memories of it - but of the writing, not the playing. :-)
Adobe InDesign is the way to go if you've already got it (It's not cheap). There's a lot you can do with it, but learning the basics is easy enough. There's also plenty of great looking InDesign templates available on the internet. OpenOffice could be used I suppose but that's going to be more trouble than it's worth.

My recommendation: Hire someone off oDesk or purchase a premium template for InDesign. I'm not sure exactly hat you mean by seperating layout from content. Anytime the content changes by a reasonable amount it's going to need adjustments of the design no matter what program you use.
Or the English saying, 'better to be a big fish in a small pond'?
iPhone SDK doc: "In iPhone OS there is a distinction between the coordinates you specify in your drawing code and the pixels of the underlying device. When using native drawing technologies such as Quartz, UIKit, and Core Animation, you specify coordinate values using a logical coordinate space, which measures distances in points. This logical coordinate system is decoupled from the device coordinate space used by the system frameworks to manage the pixels on the screen."

I am not familiar with Android SDK. Do you mean you can write one UI code that runs on all Android devices irregardless of their screen resolution? Such as on Nexus one and a tablet running Android?
Such galaxies already exist [1]. They appear to be natural, but who knows for sure.

The temperature of the Dyson Sphere will determine the wave length the star apears to shine at. If the sphere is designed to capture the maximum energy possible then the temperature will be close to the cosmic background radiation temperature (2.73K) and so would be very hard to detect.

I admire Stallman. He is someone who really made a difference. That said, I find myself slightly disagreeing with him on web services:

It seems like in most cases the criticism of web services mostly are in loss of privacy and digital security. On the other hand to me the point of the (A)GPL is ensuring that computer users have the right to inspect and modify the software running on their own systems.

I understand that there is some overlap: using free software is likely (I think) to increase one's privacy and digital security.
>Does Acura offer an upgrade path for this?

Neither does my iPhone 1. Lets hold off on this comparison until Tesla is still supporting 11 year old vehicles.
Is there any evidence what so ever that the financing arm of automakers is causing a systemic problem in their business ? Because I haven't seen it. And if it was a problem they would simply spin off a company like BMW does (BMW Financial Services).

And it's a bit early to be taking about how fantastic Tesla's cash flow situation is when they have been losing so much money in recent years. And they have so much cash locked up in a Supercharger network that has a questionable future (proprietary standard, embrace/extend model, no interest from other automakers).

Not OP, but I do (a fair amount of) HPDE/TT with an m240i, converted to the cup car spec.

Running costs for me are ~$500 / 2-hour day on 100-TW tires. These cars aren't exactly light, so they eat through consumables. Tires are the largest part, then repairs, then brakes. This doesn't count fuel.

If I had to guess for OP in PWC, 50-100% more, mostly driven by slick costs.

EDIT: added fuel note
I had several critical issues with a 2018 Dell XPS 13 w/Ubuntu 18.10 preloaded; namely the wifi would frequently not return after hibernation (needed reboot) and sometimes the entire system wouldn't come back after hibernation.

I tried many fixes, including new kernels, to no avail. Finally I upgraded to 19.04 and everything has worked flawlessly for the past 6 months.

If covid isnt foodborne, then the produce sitting out at the grocery store is also safe.

But it seems really unlikely that it immediately disappears when it comes in contact with food. "Not food borne" usually just means that food isn't a better conductor of the virus that the average surface is.
This feels like the end of the arc beginning with the nonsensical article "The End of Theory"[1] in 2008. The language game of working with models and concepts is far richer than just "input in, output out."

No, though I do use it.
It is a fact that many embryos go through stages similar to portions of that organism's evolutionary history. This fact alone justifies the cautious phrasing of the great-grandparents comment, in my opinion. Since this fact is also indicated in the excerpted quote you criticize, I think the quote served it purpose. (Though I would agree the 'reflect' can be misinterpreted).
crude, but probably very true. just remember that confessions of a TSA agent blog. I can't imagine it would be any different (if not worse, because the people aren't actually present).

If you assume that the only way that the NSA could get a bug into apple products is by making a call to Apple execs and asking them to do it. What do you think of the possibility of them approaching someone who already codes at Apple, possibly someone who they've had previous contact with, or have leverage against that would guarantee that they won't go public about an (unsuccessful) approach from the NSA, and employing them to find places to insert deniable vulnerabilities into Apple products?

It's unlikely that Apple would agree to sabotage their own products in a way that will eventually be detected and affect their own credibility. That's restricting the argument that people are making to a straw man, though. Have spies ever worked that way? What people are mostly speculating about is whether this was an intentionally introduced vulnerability, not the mechanism by which that would come about.

Perhaps, but a well-designed URL structure is helpful when one sees a deep link to the site and wants to know what they'll find.

example.com/how-to-bar-the-foo-v1

docs.example.com/en/1.0/foo#bar

The latter form clearly presents the possibility of jumping straight to a different version's foo docs, to the docs homepage, etc. I'd consider this a quality of good UX.
Indeed, and I certainly don't need $100K either. I don't even live in an area where the cost of living is especially high, but I currently make less than what I was earning working on an assembly line in a factory. While I'm not dirt-poor I'm unable to make any savings or plans for the future. As I don't have much aside, I can't really try my luck in a better area as moving is not free. At least I'm only responsible for myself, so there's that.
It's not, but the only state without a paper trail for everything which went Biden in the last election is New Jersey (The other 7 states which have some level of exposure to digital manipulation voted Trump).

There was much resistance to quotas in South African rugby through the late 90s and noughts. But this was the team which won the 2019 rugby World Cup: https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/south-africa-win-rugby-wo....

I’m really not an expert here, but I think partly what happened is that quotas force a rethink on the part of the establishment: “what do we need to do to make sure we can meet these quotas with high quality players/managers?”. And then there is system change around that.

The parallel is when we set ourselves sales targets at work, we then put in place the structures to meet those targets.

"Information diet" is a useful analogy. Imagine you eat a diverse diet of candy, ice cream, potato chips, cookies, doughnuts, and fruits and vegetables. You can make your own analogies about what news sources are junk food, but you can see how trying a little bit of everything in an environment that is full of bad choices is detrimental. We all have limited stomach space and attention.

You always can drive cost concessions from sales, especially for base workloads where you have time flexibility.

For a big company, cloud rarely saves money for many categories of expense. In a normal market, it is almost always faster time to market to rent, and always cheaper TCO to own.

Further, I think microservices can encourages devs to stay in their own little walled garden and they're quick to say "everything's working on my end, must be somebody else's problem".

Very few people, if any, have a complete understanding of the system and this is often by design which may not necessarily be a good thing. Reasoning between microservices feels harder to me than reasoning within a monolith.
