Good on you. I've drastically reduced the amount of meat I eat to about once a week, for many reasons including environmental. I feel western society almost worships meat (especially in America - bacon, anyone?) and links it to masculinity. I think most people would rather watch the world burn than give up meat.

When Google Code shutdown, people just needed to add another git remote and push their code up there. There wasn't any vendor lock-in there either. The Go community managed to migrate everything to GitHub without any real losses.
So much for reproducible builds. What if the internet connection flakes on your build server. Or if the source to the library is deleted from wherever you're pulling it from.

Why the reluctance to add ALL SOURCE REQUIRED TO BUILD YOUR APP to your source repository. I don't get it.

Also, no matter what vendor tool you use, please use one such that I can "go get" your command (main package).

Although we're really at the point where I don't care what tool is used, so long as the community can pick one.

My argument is simply.... If you leave technical advancement alone and provide people freedom - not government oppression or try to kill innovation underneath of some set social theory... It works out, and it works out better in the long run. What would have happened if someone was regulating our speech right now in this forum? Would you stand for such oppression in the name of social correctness? It's going to work out... Just not in the old framework of the way you envision. Have a little faith.

If you have a little extra money one super easy thing you can do is buy a carbon offset for the carbon you produce each year. There's plenty of websites that can do this if you google for something like "offset my carbon emissions".

They will then invest this money in companies that will plant trees, build alternate power or something similar to permanently remove the CO2 you produced ensuring you are carbon neutral for the year.

Also my electricity company has a program where you can pay 10% more and all the electricity will be sourced from renewable sources that are carbon neutral. I switched many years ago and barely noticed the increase.

These are all basically enacting a carbon tax on yourself, and if enough people do it it will encourage the polluters to invest in more renewable forms of energy (as their profits will continually drop) and lead to a better world.

It's also why Valve have invested in the Steam Machine. At the moment it's not a serious competitive prospect, but it's there ready as an escape valve.

After all, only one company can get a 10-30% cut of games sold to run on Windows, and Microsoft don't see why it shouldn't be them.

Microsoft do phase things out, but only slowly, with long migration times for business users.
Anecdotally, contactless is supported in a majority of places in Europe – even though Apple Pay has yet to roll out to many European banks. As a result, I use Apple Pay at most places in Switzerland and Poland, yet it's always the merchant's first time seeing Apple Pay used. In fact, most of them weren't aware it's a thing since their credit card / bank doesn't offer it.

You obviously wouldn't take an actuarial exam if you don't plan on working in Insurance. However, if you do plan doing something like predictive modeling for an insurance company then it would have to do it.

You're right. I didn't address the primary issue. And Apple's services have plenty of room for improvement.

Making US$20BN in revenue gives runway to make those improvements.

The other US$200BN+ / year and cash warchest means they're able and willing to make new markets. Even if their car doesn't work, they'll be worth watching. Cars can be much better than they are, and I welcome the competition.

> all natural distributions follow that curve

No, they don't. Many approximate that curve. Others do not. For examples:

"Bimodal distribution of flowering time in a natural hybrid population of daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) and nightlily (Hemerocallis citrina)" - http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10265-005-0241-3 .

http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Bimodal_distribution lists other bimodal distributions: "the time between eruptions of certain geysers, the color of galaxies, the size of worker weaver ants, the age of incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma, the speed of inactivation of the drug isoniazid in US adults, the absolute magnitude of novae, and the circadian activity patterns of those crepuscular animals that are active both in morning and evening twilight"

A large number of natural distributions follow a power-law distribution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law#Examples gives many examples.

That said, you do not need that broad claim to make your argument.

While Win32 is hard to phase out, DirectX is more flexible and crucially not critical to business users of Windows. There was already a mini-version of this fiasco when DX11 launched for 7 but not Vista. Microsoft could quite easily say that e.g. DX16 would require UWP, distribution through the Windows store, telemetry, ad insertion, whatever.

(Let's not also forget the disaster that was Games For Windows Live)
If you do the math, best case scenario: Tesla's budget model will have twice the range (~200 miles) of the Nissan Leaf at the same price point ($30k). This assumes that Tesla is capable of a $35k model today. My estimate for a 200 mile battery power pack today is around $20,000 going by what amateur EV enthusiasts have managed, using the same 18650 cells.
Principle #41 has a name in academia: the just-world hypothesis [1] (occasionally the just-world fallacy, largely from atheist and feminist sources). It has surprisingly widespread consequences and implications. Conservative politicians and pundits play on it when they tout "personal responsibility" in the face of systemic bias. Abusers use it to convince their victims that they "deserve" the abuse. Religiously devout people use it to minimize tragedies (not to mention crimes) as "part of God's plan", and so on.

Yes. It's a terrible mess. But as of GopherCon a couple of weeks ago, the way forward is becoming clear. Most important, the Go Team is now in direct communication with the authors of the most widely used vendoring tools, and it seemed to be widely acknowledged that this is a severe problem, that a standard is needed, and that even things like "go get" might have to change. I'm very hopeful.
I stand corrected. I included inflation when I shouldn't have.

My claim is true for interest rates, however. Here's one chart: http://www.businessinsider.com/us-treasury-yields-at-histori...

We have a 100-year long period here, starting around 1820, where interest rates basically moved within a band of 3-6%. The 100 years following that are a very different story. Here we see the interest rate move from 2% to 15% and back to 2% in 75 years, from 1945 to now.
Hi, newbie sec researcher here. Just wanna ask, how do we actually ask for a bounty considering that sometimes the severity of the breach is BIG (this, Shell Access, etc).

MacBook Air was designed for portability. Heat and CPU throttling mean it's not really suitable for use as a workhorse....

Author here, quick summary since I know HN likes that kind of thing:

Curve25519:

- is in Chrome now

- is in OpenSSL 1.1, which is running late but scheduled for release any day now

- will be in Windows cryptoAPI (and hence Edge) shortly

No word on FF or Safari yet.

Safecurves are simpler than traditional ECC curves, so implementations are smaller and more likely to be robust.
>It's not fun to work right up at the limit of your ability, you have no hope of bullshitting through that level of difficulty

This isn't just for programmers. Pretty much any occupation where you're routinely in a situation where you are responsible for making decisions based on incomplete information or with a large element of chance/luck affecting the outcome will wear you down fairly quickly.

No, it's not only if you use the factory OS image: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/12/lenovo_firmware_nast... - it is, indeed, only if you use Windows for now. But there was a time where pressing the "restore" key on the IdeaPad (yes, there was one, that starts a windows restore) would bork a Linux install.

ThinkPad hardware is OK, but it's very hard to trust Lenovo with anything these days. A good summary I found while looking for the above link is http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/now-three-pre-installed-malware...

Sweeney provides this as Microsoft's alleged strategy to get rid of Steam:

"Slowly, over the next five years, they will force-patch Windows 10 to make Steam progressively worse and more broken. They’ll never completely break it, but will continue to break it until, in five years, people are so fed up that Steam is buggy that the Windows Store seems like an ideal alternative. That’s exactly what they did to their previous competitors in other areas. Now they’re doing it to Steam. It’s only just starting to become visible. Microsoft might not be competent enough to succeed with their plan, but they’re certainly trying."

What previous competitors is he talking about?
And some of the Google tools are way better than their clones.
There's already an open standard for the core functionality of code hosting sites: Git. Projects migrate between GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and other alternatives all the time by simply changing the Git remote. There's some lock-in via extras like issue trackers and wikis but that's not difficult to migrate, especially with Markdown as a common standard so markup can be preserved.

I'm not really sure why you think that's relevant to this. Google Code simply failed to compete with the alternatives and was obsoleted. It has nothing to do with lock-in.

Lost me here:

"Therefore, our true purpose is to express the intentions of our clients using as little code as reasonably possible, accompanied with lots of documentation and lots of tests (testing code and unit tests don't count as LOC). We should distrust every line of code written by ourselves as well as those written by others. The best code has 0 lines. Because in zero lines of code, there is room for exactly zero bugs."

Less code does not necessarily mean less bugs.
That is too slow. We have a little more than twenty years at current production levels to stop producing GHGs [1]. Reducing the population (to 0?) takes a lot longer.

No, that is not at all what a bug bounty is meant to do. We are not expected to pay people to avoid them launching criminal conspiracies against us.

The purpose of a bug bounty is to incentivize researchers to target specific pieces of software so that vendors can benefit from that attention.
I don't think the two sides you describe are correct, at least globally. In the UK, 70-80% of people agree that anthropogenic climate change is happening, and the Green party (who have the kind of position you're describing) only get 5% of the vote. You're presenting everyone who thinks that action needs to be taken as part of a much smaller, unrepresentative group.

Also, I agree that flat blocking of nuclear is unreasonable. But in my opinion disagreement on the issue is a relatively marginal issue in the general sweep of tackling climate change. Again, in the UK, we're just at the end of an open commissioning process for new nuclear, led by the centre right party, with agreement across all major parties.

Despite that level of political support, and a complete lack of protectionism (to the extent that one of the leading bids is funded by a Chinese state-owned energy company!) it is still going to be very expensive, and has a very long development and construction time.

Undoubtedly it's sensible for baseline demand (i.e. continuous 24hr demand which doesn't require scaling up or down), but to me it's not going to be a make or break solution either way. It's not sensible to completely tie yourself in to an expensive, monolithic technology to come online in 20 years, and operate for 50 years thereafter. It's an important hedge which we should definitely take up, but it's not the total solution which people present.
Macbooks are not Bugattis though.

>I think it is genuinely difficult

Yes. It's difficult to say, but you can make estimates and they have been done. Estimates made by economists are better than wishful thinking.

>You could see 40 years of extraordinary technological and economic progres

We don't have time. We have used our carbon budget. Doing things in hurry is what increases the cost.

To stop global warming below 2 C requires that our emissions are cut into fraction of current levels within 15 years. That's incredibly short time. We should be shutting down coal plants already and companies should write off their investments. There is no time for smooth transition.

Major estimates agree that that avoiding climate change is affordable can can be done, but time has run out (not running out, has run out). U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that the cost would be 13 trillion trough 2030 using idealized scenarios. It would reduce GDP just 0.1%. Big task but clearly affordable. The bad new is that there is no sign that there is will to invest even close that much. There is no political will to do that. IEA estimates say that the cost is around $30 trillion.

Things like GOP's "clean carbon" policy take out the possible and all idealized scenarios. There is no change in hell that GOP ruled House does anything significant to make "perfectly possible" happen. 4 years from now cost has increased again.

>I think ultimately we just have to do our best to price in the externalized costs and to a certain extent to set the hard limits of the amount of damage we are willing to inflict, and let the economy adjust to the reality of the situation.

Yes. I think 4 degrees is what is going to happen. Horrible cost for humanity and nature. Show your kids coral reefs when they are still there.
Couldn't agree more with this. It's something I repeat at work almost once every week. Look I'm average, most of us at work will be average. The question is how to we design our processes to take that into account? instead of constantly pointing fingers for mistakes that happened.
You probably weren't a culture fit :P

I actually prefer getting feedback about why someone chooses not to go forward with me as it helps me improve. For that reason I think interviewing at Bridgewater can be valuable as you can explicitly ask them what you did right and wrong and they'll tell you without sugar coating it.

And don't forget, the reason most companies don't give this kind of feedback is to prevent any allegations of discrimination, so they're not exactly heroes either.

I don't really understand why it bothers game makers? Either it's Steam that takes a 30% cut or it's Microsoft?

Sure you can sell your games standalone and I doubt that will never change but most games benefit on being on a platform like Steam or Microsoft Store. For me as a consumer, I like that there is competition.

I tried Recon's skiing goggles and found their HUD awful.

A true HUD doesn't need you to look away, or refocus your eyes. The Recon screen's position (near the bottom of the goggles) means you have to almost go cross-eyed to read it, and focus on short-distance…absolutely not what you want when you're skiing!

Their handbook says it should only be looked at when stationary.

BMW's HUD looks like the way forward : a sunken dash-mounted display, which projects the data onto the windscreen. In other words a true HUD: directly in your line of sight, no need to refocus your eyes.

I'd be interested to understand if there's some technical limitation preventing this approach with goggles/helmets.
