Our civilisation is a chaotically stable system - but we have already seen what even phantasmic disruption (i.e. the subprime triggered global crash) can cause, and we are already seeing the tremors of political unstability in nations where such a thing seemed unthinkable only a few years ago - and these things do not happen in a vacuum.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't require every human, every bureaucrat, every organ of state power to be utterly destroyed to bring about societal collapse - it actually requires rather little for affairs to descend into chaos. This is why we see governments investing increasingly in security apparatuses, as they realise that maintaining control now and in the future requires a firmer grasp than they have maintained. The US DoD saw climate change as a grave threat to national security over a decade ago, and they still do now. If you end up with mass migration from flooded areas, displaced people, you have crime and a need for greater enforcement - if you add food shortages to the mix, you end up with starving desperate people - again, not a majority, but enough to strain a system that operates within fine tolerances beyond its limits.

I don't think that we're going to see the annihilation of the species, I don't think we're going to see the annihilation of all technological society or anything of the sort - but I don't think that we will survive quite as we do now, and I think it's going to be a pretty rough ride from here to wherever we're going.
Making adjustments into your own life helps if it changes cultural norms. If not, you are just making it cheaper for others to consume C2O.

Pushing for carbon tax and carbon trade is the best overall option. Devil is in the details, of course. Carbon tax should be significant and carbon trade shouldn't have loopholes. It should prevent exporting carbon production to other countries (carbon tax for imported products). It should involve meat production (according to FAO meat consumption produces 17% of human carbon emissions, more than transportation).

Biggest problem is attitude against measures that are large enough. People accept measures against climate change only if they are sold with promises of immediate rewards.

Economic estimates of the cost of effective measures vary, but typical estimate is 0.5 - 1% reduction into world GDP. This is something we don't have political will to do and mentioning negatives is a taboo. Rational people just flatly refuse to acknowledge that it's possible that reducing carbon emissions might be net negative for economy next 20-40 years. Only our children would see the benefits.

most of it. but in the master-slave configuration the clients can only work if connecting to the master, and when the master switch, scripts needs to go to each clients and update their config. not immensely bad if you also use pgbouncer so you can do it on the fly without restarting the whole client, but exceptionally vulnerable to split brains and the like.

> I cannot trust Lenovo being competent at what they do after superfish, I wonder how can any of the readers of hacker news still think of buying from them.

It was certainly a giant blunder, but like all of these issues they are Windows only, and usually only if you use the factory OS image.

Like most(?) of the HN crowd not using Apple products, I run Linux, so that kind of stuff doesn't affect me at all. I assume the remaining ones reinstall using their own installation-media too?

It doesn't excuse Lenovo's behaviour and certainly can make you question their judgement, but all in all, I'm one of those who are putting less weight on this issue than others may do.

What matters most to me, are the practical aspects: what can this product do for me? And Carbon X1 Thinkpads are among the best lightweight laptops out there.
> This is largely irrelevant. The ART runtime is open, the class libraries are open. So, it is not very hard to add support for Android applications to another system.

This is only true in theory, it's much more difficult in practice. Look at the Jolla phones for example, they have a non-Android OS (called Sailfish) but it "can run" Android apps (without Google services, IIRC).

However, the quality is lacking. Not all apps work, many have annoying glitches and it's just not as good as advertised.

Also, I wouldn't exactly call Android "open". The source is available, but the development and the decisions are taken behind closed doors. Things can and have changed without advance warning. It takes a great amount of effort, time and money to maintain a non-Google Android version like the Chinese Androids.
Microsoft have many of the same weaknesses though. The new Windows Modern UI apps or whatever they call it now are awful. Mail? Calendar? Wow. Even Outlook Express was better.

And the new Settings app? Dear holy deity..
"I don't think anyone thinks of ZFS as a derivative work of the Linux kernel."

Yes, I wouldn't have thought so either, but the legal technicalities hinged on this, and this was the opinion of many, including Richard Stallman. He stated there was no way that ZFS could be bundled with a Linux distribution without infringing on the GPL. Ubuntu sought separate legal opinion and concluded differently. They are now shipping ZFS as part of their distribution. I think this is an example of why some people are averse to the GPL. Right-spirited use of GPL software could risk exposure to a lawsuit. I guess this could be called the "ten foot pole" argument in favor of more permissive licenses.
We basically need portable fusion, or micro-hydrogen turbines powered by hydrogen formed by electrolysis of seawater from purely renewable sources. It's quite an ask, given that, as you say, fossil is cheap and easy - although not as cheap as it used to be to get at - but artificially cheap on the market in a (in my view) desperate lunge to stave off the inevitable fall, as their real production costs catch up with them. There's a reason they're investing increasingly in "alternative" energy sources, and moving branding towards energy from fossil fuels. The market will act, but I fear too late.
Do you mean it could happen with, say, Firefox's built-in password manager?
Nicely enough, this is made possible by the freedoms in the current market (economic system.) One should not forget that the freedom to donate ones' work is also part of a free market. I like this interview with Linus Torvalds [0, 1] where he admits it was for his pleasure and thus for his personal gain that he made Linux. Rational self-interest does not require financial rewards to be satisfactory. It did make him a millionaire in the end though (because Red Hat gave him stock options). This also show how he can be a dick sometimes while still being of immeasurable value to the global economy. He does it because he likes it, not because he likes you or wants you to like him.

Dear TC: The word's "knockoff" not "rival".
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but lastpass uses the same 'zero-knowledge' method that spideroak uses, other than spider oak uses that term everywhere including their cloud backup offering.

Zero knowledge is merely the fact that spider oak only holds encrypted backups of your files and it has no way of seeing them. LastPass tells us the same thing.

I myself started to program at the age of 11. At that time my father bought a book and learned a little Visual Basic, he then got introduced it to me and I was hooked. After that I borrowed an old book he had on HTML/CSS (creating webpages) and after that I started picking up books in the library.

I think that you should try to let her learn to create webpages with HTML & CSS, and then later she could try to learn JavaScript. It's an relatively easy place to start, and you're learning real world skills. I tend to disagree with people who want children to learn "Python Scratch" or other toys that you'll never get any use for.

Theres a lot of resources online (ex. http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp), and on YouTube. But I will always recommend to start with a good book, the "For Dummies" series is usually very good (ex. "Beginning HTML5 and CSS3 For Dummies").

I memorised a very simple algorithm to construct passwords from the domain name of a site. Then I concatenate that with one of three fixed portions depending on how important I view the site (e.g. banks get the most secure one, then gmail, then everything else).

It works pretty well. Different password for each site, I only have to remember a few things, and it would take several compromises (and a weirdly dedicated attacker) to work out my algorithm.

For example, my 'insecure' fixed part might be 'Tenk5$' (I recommend including uppercase, lowercase, a number and a symbol in that part to get around idiotic password requirements). Then my algorithm could be 'the last 5 letters backwards, skip the first vowel'. In which case my password for HN would be 'Tenk5$rtani'.
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of these blog posts are very US-centric. There are still plenty of people in Europe living in poverty and their white privilege somehow didn't save them.

It's interesting how these racist ideas get tossed about proudly here and in the US media.

> distributed object store backed by ZFS called "Manta".

a) Is this the default for SmartOS installs, and is this how containers work by default on SmartOS? Is the method of setting this up seamelss?

b) Can you self host Manta.

c) What are you even arguing about, you're just pointing at an cloud service and declaring victory. You might want to elaborate a bit more.

> Do you have any more questions?

Yes. Apart from the fact that I could just use S3 to achieve the exact same thing, and the fact that you might not be able to store things as pure objects (since you can't do partial writes, etc etc) do you not see that as dodging the original point? Do zones provide a seamless way of mounting a particular set of manta objects into a container so that you can actually store secrets inside manta without also storing your credentials everywhere?

Also, out of interest, has Joyent liberated for Manta (I know that SmartDataCenter is free software, but I haven't checked if Manta is).

There are a few other things that GNU/Linux containers have that I think SmartOS Zones don't. Can you start application containers, or is the only mode for Zones a "boot" process with an init daemon? Also out of interest, do you have the concept of rootless zones -- zones entirely created by an unprivileged user?
Hi,

We've tried to create a heat-map of demand and salary for different skills in the US. We've tried to cover a range of skills for each state.

An analysis report on the data can be found at- www.aspiringminds.com/skillmap/.

Note:

- The salaries and demands are according to the salaries offered by the industries in different states.

- We are working on incorporating the living costs in the particular areas, which will give a higher intuition to job seekers about what s/he should earn to have a decent living.

Please suggest changes that might make it more intuitive and helpful to job seekers.

Cheers!
You're right, I glossed over that distinction. My use case is provisioning domain names for servers/containers the moment they come up, and it's not really feasable to batch that.
While I dislike these Javascript scroller pages, that must be one of the most simultaneously legible and pleasing designs I've ever seen.

To me, Xiaomi means quality, I have a Xiaomi battery pack, it's very solid and feels high quality. So does my OnePlus3, it seems like Chinese (designed) is no longer synonymous with cheap and low quality. They are ready to take over. They are removing the usp of western (designed) products. Admittedly they do it partly via copying. What is the next frontier for western companies? Responsible design? Environmentally friendly design/manufacturing? The robotic revolution can certainly bring parts of the manufacturing back here without increasing the prices. I'm curious to see how I.E. Apple responds to this trend.
Are you seriously forgetting OSX? Maybe you excluded it because it only runs on Apple hardware, in which case Android has no competition either.
Fair point. I'd accept the trade-off if it meant I could use quote-unquote Linux instead of macOS.

Problem is, that not all sites use the same style of passwort.

I think you see that trope mainly in hentais and very rarely in regular romcoms, as far as animes go.
That doesn't really answer the question though. You merely named a proxy - what you can do is support that other guy. It doesn't say what that other guy - the NGO - is supposed to do, it merely presupposes that the NGOs know what they are doing, without saying anything about what that is in concrete terms. I don't consider anything along the lines of "raising awareness" an answer, so just increasing the size of the movement (movement for and/or towards what?).

I don't see lowering energy consumption worldwide as a realistic goal, the opposite may happen and be necessary. In the coming decades the already waaayyyyy too warm regions of the earth like the Middle East will become even warmer, their only options are moving somewhere else or using energy to create livable spaces (i.e. AC). Just like they made cities like Phoenix, AZ, possible. Without greater energy use we will have another "Völkerwanderung". By the way, the problem of heat isn't just to survive it - doing any productive work, brain work or manual labor, requires lower temperatures than mere survival.

Given the advances in renewable energy technology that seems feasible.

Nor do I think restriction would significantly help, it seems we've already gone too far. It's like walking on ice and the path back now has so many cracks it's actually more dangerous than the path forward. Of course, which path forward still matters, but "use less energy" is the path back.

Not to mention psychology: Setting a goal of "go back to when we used less resources, limit yourself, live your life with as little impact as possible - don't move around (travel) so much, etc." doesn't sound nearly as appealing than a goal that encompasses activity and progress. Resources are finite - but our abilities to create actual cycles instead of one-way streets (to huge waste dumps) are not. I don't think the main message can or should be one of limitation and restriction, that's not what makes humans "tick" - no matter how you think about it (i.e. for better or worse).

That said, I think it's not outside the realm of possibilities that huge disruptions are possible and the death of a lot - and I mean a lot - of people. I don't know enough about agriculture, but I think our food production - and let's not forget water - are systems that are "anti-fragile", to use Taleb's term.
The temperature dropped in June in the sense that the rather than being 0.3 degrees warmer than the warmest equivalent month, now it's only 0.2 warmer than the warmest equivalent month ever recorded. That is an odd sort of progress.

Also, the records don't go back to 1979, most go back to the start of the instrumental record in the 1880's. And satellite data isn't a panacea, the process of getting from the direct measurements to a temperature distribution involves a significant amount of processing based on theoretical models, and corrections for factors like orbital decay, and different satellites and processing methodologies have historically shown a lot of disagreement. It's all useful data, but it's not as if satellites are perfect and everything that comes before is worthless.
If safety is your primary concern though, stick with just the command line client, which is a Bash script most HN-readers will be able to follow to the letter. It in turn uses GnuPG.

The lack of integration then with the rest of the OS is actually a security benefit.

Syria was the largest of source countries in 2015, with a particularly large number arriving in Germany as well as Sweden, but the migration is not at all restricted to Syrian refugees. E.g. in my country (Finland) Syrians were only 3 % of the applications.

For instance, in Britain, the largest numbers of asylum seekers came from Eritrea, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan and Syria as fifth. In Ireland, the largest groups were from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Albania, Nigeria and India. In Italy, the largest source countries were Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal and Bangladesh. In France: Sudan, Syria, Kosovo, Dem. Rep. of Congo, Bangladesh.

This is not proposing the end of fractional reserve banking. Money supply expansion happens through credit, and credit isn't going away any time soon.

The problem is that the normal "transmission mechanism" of monetary policy is to encourage credit, and both the commercial world and consumers are in a state where they either don't want or don't need credit.
Not using `document.location.host` stood out to me too. I think the takeaway here is don't use regex unless you absolutely have to and don't use it to parse things that have rigorous standards describing them. Emails, phone numbers, URLs come to mind.

Meh, I read everywhere that solar is taking over, electricity prices go negative, countries run for days on pure renewable energy and a solar company won a contract for a powerplant over all other contestants in Dubai. Electric cars are the future even it is was only for their performance, the increased amount of interior space and the ease of "fuel" distribution.

Admittedly, my country (Netherlands) is still fully on coal and the worst offender for CO2 emissions is apparently the large seafaring companies who we can only limit by buying more local (which is a trend anyway).

I'm not too worried, at least about the anthropocentric part of the deal. What will happen apart from that will happen anyway so also no need to worry about that.
I think its important to consider the context, which is clearly stated on the frontpage of Talos: "POWER is the only open, owner-controllable architecture that is competitive in performance".

There are other architectures that could be candidates for an owner-controllable system (see https://www.raptorengineering.com/TALOS/op_twbx86.php for a review of some other alternatives), but POWER8 is currently the one that can be competitive with x86-64 and could realistically build today.

2D barcodes solve a slightly different problem and end up wasting a lot of space on two things:

1 you don't need a header for every frame but these barcodes do.

2 (for QR this is the worst one) there is a lot of space wasted to help detect and correct perspective distortion.
I think it's closer to the other way around. People who can't score goals can still contribute in a football game, for example as goalkeepers. But if you select your team based on who's the best at scoring goals, they're not going to get a chance to demonstrate their goalkeeping ability.

Similarly, I think there are a lot of people who are bad at flirting but would make good romantic partners for the people they're interested in. But being bad at flirting means they often don't get a chance to demonstrate the other qualities they could bring to a relationship.
