Can the collective HN wisdom also help me understand what is a 23 years old (as he was in 1942) supposed to do in the situation and stop the atrocities?

There's nothing he could have done to stop the atrocities, but he could have said no to having a part in them himself. That would have meant facing the death penalty for subversion[1], but there were Germans who did say no, and were executed.

Hi there,

We're licensing the Superpowered Media Server to OEMs who want to differentiate their Android build by bringing latency down to pro audio levels.

As we say in the article, we squeeze latency out of user space with our zero latency SDK as well as out service space with our new server.

Core problem: If contracts can be upgraded while in use, everything reduces to a game of Nomic.
CO2 emissions have remained relatively constant from energy producing sources since the 90's in the U.S.[1]. Obviously, this is not the case for China and the alike.

However, what we also don't consider is that cattle, swine, and most of all Humans digestion produce an exorbitant amount of those emissions. I just spend ~10 minutes searching and couldn't find a source regarding how much CO2 we as humans produce, but I would guess it's a lot more than other livestock.

CO2 levels have less of an impact than other chemicals on the atmosphere[2]:

> It (livestock) generates 65 per cent of human-related nitrous oxide, which has 296 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO2. Most of this comes from manure.

Justice isn't revenge. And to be honest, for a 94 year old, 5 years is effectively life long. (Germany has none of that "30,000 years prison term" silliness.)

> Can the collective HN wisdom also help me understand what is a 23 years old (as he was in 1942) supposed to do in the situation and stop the atrocities?

Not participating would be a good start (the SS was a volunteer organization at that point). Trying to get people out of it even better.

For some reason it's not particularly well-known, but the German populace did manage to sabotage one of the Nazis' genocide: Aktion T4 was scaled down and partially cancelled after broad resistance formed at every level of society and administration.

The holocaust wouldn't have been nearly as deadly if people had resisted more.
Huh.

Looking at the code snippets, I find this:

func g(a: Int -> Int) -> Int -> Int { ... } // old way, Swift 2

much easier to read than this:

func g(a: (Int) -> Int) -> (Int) -> Int { ... } // new way, Swift 3

The old way is obvious: g takes a function from Int to Int, along with an Int, and produces an Int -- and I can tell that it's curried. It reads just like a type signature from any given ML.

The new way confused me at a glance, because my eyes got lost in all the parens and I read (a: (Int) -> Int) as (a: (Int -> Int), with a missing paren, which threw everything after it off and made it confusing.

It just adds another, unnecessary layer of parens. Weird.

Several of our customers are Leamington tomato processors. I think part of it has to do with where the processing infrastructure is located. I doubt there is 1M+ square feet of tomato grading, sorting, processing and canning equipment other places in North Eastern North America. The whole downstream industry is built around Leamington and area (northern Michigan/southern Ontario). I would argue that building hydroponics near all the infrastructure makes sense then rebuilding the infrastructure somewhere more arid.

Honestly, the whole point of worrying about climate change is its impact to humans (the earth has survived far worse over its history, and will likely survive worse in the future). The suggestions you mentioned all have substantial negative impacts to humanity - arguably as much as climate change itself (i.e. doing nothing) - and has a huge upfront cost, to boot. Additionally, such extreme actions will result in large black markets that render those bans moot, and abide by very few or none of the laws and regulations we have in place to mitigate some small amount of impact to our climate, making the situation worse than it is now.

The only real solution is to innovate our way out of a large amount of our polluting habits, in a way that is cost-effective.

Also, I don't recall any governmental agency saying that we are taking appropriate action to save the planet. Most agencies are saying that we should start taking action, but that we've already passed the point of no return.

Just to be clear, I didn't mean my comment as a broad defense of zoning laws. Rather, I think it's only fair to consider that there's a very large difference between the relevance of zoning laws when the city is in its infancy and zoning laws when the city is pretty much entirely built up. When the city is, say, 97% built up, any zoning laws should reflect how its residents want the last 3% developed—if at all. I do realize it's more complicated than that (what about redevelopment, for example?), and I realize zoning is fraught with issues and controversy, but I don't think it logically follows that if present zoning laws in an older built-up area don't reflect the existing building stock, that the laws are illegitimate or corrupt. You may not like the zoning laws or the general concept of zoning (I'm not sure I do either, frankly), but that's not the same argument.

MotoGP HOSPITALITY FOR GP ASSEN

Assen is the only venue to have held a round of the Motorcycle World Championship every year since its creation in 1949. The circuit was purpose built for the Dutch TT in 1955, with previous events having been held on public roads. The track is narrow, with rapid changes in direction, and is fully surrounded by grass banks and grandstands, providing excellent viewing for the hundreds of thousands of fanatical spectators who are drawn to the most prestigious event in Dutch motorsport every year. A huge favourite with riders, Assen is well known for its festive and extravagant atmosphere. In 1999 the circuit was modified with a new grandstand, control tower, press centre and renovated boxes. Modifications to the Assen circuit over the winter of 2005/6 saw the length of the championship’s longest serving track cut from over 6km down to 4.555km/2.83miles.

Per capita, people in developing countries consume a small fraction of the amount of meat that people in the developed world do. That amount is growing rapidly as they gain wealth, so in the future much more land will need to be devoted to growing animal feed like corn and soybeans.

That said, this article has to do with vegetables which require much less land than animal feed crops. Its unlikely that they will be a major stress point in the future food system compared with commodity crops.

As this is putatively a children's illustrated guide, I will allow myself to say that I do not trust that owl at all. I do not like that owl which put the innocent and helpless giraffe down in the cargo hold of its exceptionally dodgy ship and kept it locked down there with all the other animals and brainwashed it into thinking that it is happy. I do not like that owl that smiles a benevolent smile and laughs a hearty laugh without twitching the beak on its expressionless face. The one which is incredibly obviously a pirate because of its hat. That one.

That said, the pictures are very nicely drawn, I would encourage the author to illustrate his writings in the future.

It's just a philosophical distinction. Suppose someone who had never built a software program in his life, successfully got a patent for "online marketplace for smartphone apps", and then went and successfully sued random weak-looking people for uploading their apps to the google play store.

Obviously he's abusing the system, and obviously he's a parasite preying on the weak with zero moral justification, in a way that threatens the very foundation of the tech industry... But what he's doing is not illegal; he's just exploiting a flaw.

Is he an attacker?

Impart: Communicate with your team and know it stuck
We just rolled out Impart. It's a simple tool for team leaders to send video messages to their team with a quiz/survey attached.

Team leaders are using it for quick weekly updates, replacing informational meetings, getting structured feedback from their team, sending quick how-to screencasts, and sharing thoughts from the road via video.

The format (video+questions) is effective for communication because it's more engaging than text and helps visual/audio learners understand better. Plus, the questions are great for reiterating important points and assessing understanding and buy-in.

I'd love for some team to try it out and offer some feedback! :)

This part of the Netflix story jumped out at me:

Five years later, McCord, her mentor, left. When I asked her why, she visibly flinched. She wouldn’t explain, but I learned later that Hastings had let her go.

McCord being the manager who instituted the aggressive cutting of employees that weren't good current fits for a position, which makes this somewhat ironic. Having an employee flinch when a prior employee's name is brought up seems like a major red flag to me. One of the negatives of aggressively removing people from positions like they do might be that many existing employees stress about their employment, possibly to an unhealthy degree. It sounds like sometimes there is little or no feedback as to performance before these removals.
