It is just a battery, and not a very good one. The energy efficiency is only 20% - meaning you have to use 4 times the energy to run the reaction and convert the CO2 as you will get from burning the ethanol. And of course burning the ethanol releases the CO2. If you want to sequestor carbon I don't think this is a promising route to take.
Looks like it is a paid CMS. Is it much different from Grav and Pico? I have used Pico for a project and it is amazing.
>The title is very misleading.

I agree the title originally as submitted[1] is not helpful. When the author submitted[2] it to Intel DZ, he re-used the same vague title as the original PVS-Studio article from April 2016: http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0391/

HN admins already edit titles with [YEAR] to signify an old article. In the same vein, I do wish the admins (or the original submitters to save the admins the effort) went even further and exercised editorial judgement to add [NON-CUTE SUBTITLE] to negate the effects of cute-but-meaningless titles.

In this case, there would be a "[C/C++ refactoring tips]" like you suggested appended to the end of the title.

This happens because it's not as simple as facts vs. fiction. Yes, he does get some facts wrong. But the media does pick what facts to report on to always paint him in a bad light. This is why I said it's not so simple.

While I'm at it, please explain why science has become so politicized by the political right.

A question I've pondered many, many times. I believe it's because they are angry that businesses have to lose any profits dealing with the effects of producing less pollution.

The rest of your rant sounds like thoughts I've had going on in my mind. In a loop. It drives me crazy some days.
I don't understand how your comment is disagreeing.
I don't really care whether it's legal. It's just a bad idea, morally and realistically. Alienating people is what turns them into terrorists. To paraphrase a line from "Legally Blonde" (I know I'm really helping my case here), "Happy people just don't kill people, they just don't."

I don't know if Trump doesn't understand this or if he really does understand it and wants another terrorist attack on the US so he can gain more power.

No it wasn't. No reason to invent stuff that I supposedly said. You can re-read all my answers in this thread if you want.
My biggest fear today is that we're already screwed and just don't know it. This article turned out to be a "We expected this and now we've found it" but every morning I worry I'll see a headline like this and it'll be "We turned over this one rock and found something we didn't expect. Prepare for global famine in 2 years."

On our current course I'm quite optimistic that we'll be able to turn the ship around - I think between tech accelerating and the climate itself starting to put the screws on us, we'll have powerful enough tools and enough resources poured into them to save ourselves. However, that's if we stay on the apparent current course. I'm really scared we'll hit a discontinuity of some sort.
I don't fully understand what this is.

I tend to prefer wikipedia over traditional news outlets since their editors actually cares about unbiased truth instead of sensationalist garbage. If I could find a news outlet that had the same quality as good wikipedia articles then I would be happy, but even supposedly respected outlets like WSJ publishes crap like this:

The sooner traditional sensationalist journalism dies the better.
This. From the article:

You are absolutely right that getting traffic inside the cluster is probably one of most difficult tasks in Kubernetes. The standard ingress objects are too simple when you have a complex deployment. So, we wrote our own Ingress Third Party Resource to fit the needs of our deployment. We use HAProxy. We have been using this in prod for almost a year. You can find it here: https://github.com/appscode/voyager

If you find any issues or have questions, please file Github issues.
Your ignorance doesn't put a burden on me. Spend 15 minutes to do some googling.

Fire safety is the most obvious example. A modern hotel is engineered to slow down the spread of fire and preserve life. Sprinklers, fire resistant doors and walls, etc.

Airbnb is an awesome thing when it does what it initially did -- handle house rentals. When that business model failed to provide growth, they pivoted to the current model where they've become the eBay of real estate by turning a blind eye to obvious fraud and abuse.
Or maybe the jump from biological to technological is actually really really ridiculously hard. We didn't evolve in a vacuum...we share and shared the earth with many other vicious species and environmental effects, and we had to come out on top. We had to evolve certain behaviors to even make it to the technological point. And the persistence of those behaviors in our evolutionary memory is what ensured we survived. And now we're just supposed to shed them off because of 100 years of technology? People are thinking too micro. Change does not happen that fast. You can't shed off in-group preferences, general selfishness, and combativeness because those are the things that literally pushed us into these higher stages of evolution.

Personally I think the earth isn't fit for a long term evolution of a technological species, if its environment starts collapsing so soon. Again, 100 years is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and people are arguing that 100 years of technology is destroying the earth. We need a lot longer than 100 years to get anywhere useful.

No, small personal decisions are the way forward. As that accumulates opinion which then changes which party and policies people vote for, their buying patterns, etc and therefore changes government/corporations.
My point is that your argument is clearly incorrect - you don't actually find the same argument convincing when applied to a case where it clearly applies, but which contradicts your intuitions.

I.e., it's a rationalization, not a reason.
> One cannot give 1-2 hours of money, when he has to pay for his rent, bills and family.

Hopefully you're also saving for retirement, rainy day funds, etc. - some of these bills are flexible.

> There is noone who can decide to work one hour more at his workplace and get paid for it, then donate the money to charity.

Anyone freelancing can take on more client work. Save less and retire later. Kick more ass at work to get more promotions or other job opportunities. I could take shorter breaks between jobs.

It's not perfectly interchangeable, but the whole point of work is to trade time for money - "not interchangeable at all" is a strong enough phrase I'd argue work-for-pay alone contradicts it.

Freedom of Speech is one of the most fundamental principles in political philosophy, not just an optional decoration.

It contributes to sustainability of a democratic system by guaranteeing that no issue or critic of the government could be silenced or hushed up.

The independent press, free information laws and freedom of speech as the main principle is the immune system of a democratic society, so to speak, which defends it from deceases such as the one US got a few months ago.

You can volunteer even for a weekend project, and it makes a real difference.

PlasticRoad - A revolution in building roads
My apologies to fiedzia. I did not realize you were a non-native English speaker.
True, what you can do is plant trees and stop cutting trees. Plant trees that suck more CO2.

Amazon rainforest is being cut enormously. About 90% of cut Amazon is solely for beef production and soy exports for USA beef production.

Of course, the enormous convenient life of average USA citizen might need more government control (24/7 AC, cars everywhere, heavy reliance on animal agriculture etc.) and that stuff costs but it is long-term investment. Of course, no one sees 100 years as long-term, 100 years is invisible. Huge amount of forest also cut for palm oil. The new plant oil that ends up everywhere (sunflower oil turned out more expensive in this millenia).

I've heard from many parents that they don't care if their lifestyle habits promote the business-as-usual culture.
All 3 examples are readable but I prefer middle, with dark grey. Pure black and pure white is not great, most displays have enough contrast to make it painful.
I was once gifted an electric mattress pad. Once I got over my own eyerolling it turned out to be pretty amazing. I was lying in a drafty, poorly insulated farmhouse in Wisconsin at the time (so maintaining a comfortable sleeping temp. was difficult). The ability to warm up the bed before getting in was very helpful (as is being able to "dial in" sleeping temp. separately from the thickness of blankets).

I think that's a disingenuous comparison.

While a dam failure may kill more people, a nuclear disaster can leave a place uninhabitable for a thousand years. Radiation sickness and damage is also arguably scarier to the public than risk of physical harm from a dam failure.

A lot of people have some religious argument against Nuclear power - I'm not one of them, but a lot of other people seem to downplay the real risks.
Mill's great, but this essay misses the essential point in our current culture wars where free speech is concerned, namely: whose speech is being protected? For the latter half of the 20th century we adopted an extremist standard, where we tested our commitment to freedom of expression by protecting the most extreme examples we could--racism, pornography, pseudoscience--under the belief that this would shelter all other, less extreme versions. But what we've found is a tyranny of the grossest: the loudest, most attention grabbing, least useful speech drowns out the quieter and more moderate voices. Privileging the extreme edge of freedom of speech has the practical consequence of disempowering the middle.
> Instead, you must define a bunch of structs and use a dummy interface that all nodes implement.

This point interests me. I personally eschew 'dummy' interfaces in my Go code, preferring to work with the commonalities of such an algebraic type.

For your Node example, I'd look for things that all of the nodes do or represent and work from there. The interface type built on that would have other bound functions using those commonalities to synthesize common functionality.

Remember that in Go interfaces allow one to add disjoint configurations, such as things that (to borrow from webdriver) accept Click() (like buttons) or Set() (input fields). Those interfaces can apply independently from the meat of being a webelement. By implementing (or mixing in) the behavior, you can have a richer whole.

>when nuclear power fails, it tends to fail catastrophically.

Nuclear fission, right? And let's not forget that coal mining accidents are equally catastrophic for the families of the victims.

>theres no clear reason why humans should be consuming so much electricity and energy

On the contrary, we have no choice but to consume more power. This isn't just a matter of wanting more things: it's about survival.

The talk is about climate change and animal extinctions right now but there's an unlimited number of additional environmental problems to solve if we and our fellow organisms are to survive. Warming, meteor strikes, supervolcanoes, the next ice age -- these are are just four of the known problems.

So we have no choice but to continue to increase our scientific knowledge, technology and wealth. This entails the efficient and safe wielding of greater and greater quantities of energy.
IT lessons for your grandma, cool. Just my grandma does not care much, maybe that's why he does not get much views. Also posting 5 videos in a single day does not help. It's better to take some time and produce one good-quality video, even if it takes couple of days.
Salviati: "It is morally wrong to pass a law saying my neighbor cannot rent his home to negroes, and those advocating for such laws are bad people."

Simplicio (historical): "In the US the answer is clearly 'yes you can regulate his private business'. In many US cities renting out a home to a negro is a violation of the local zoning code."

Do you see the fallacy of this argument? I'm arguing "should", not "is".
Yeah interesting but we will likely never get anything close to a number.
Rather misleading headline since this is basically an advertisement for react-lite, which is the author's own library.
Ask HN: How to make sure my code requires fewer changes when reviewed by a senior
I'm a junior SE at a startup; most of the time, my code requires quite some changes during the code review process. It really frustrates me and make me feel like a fraud.
From your experiences, how can I make sure that my code is solid enough that it does not require too many changes when reviewed by a Senior Engineer. Any advices, and book recommendations are welcome. Thanks

Aren't switch-case statements widely accepted in C++ and inherently repeated blocks of code? No one would tell you to not copy-paste and then edit just the different parts in a switch-case block.

And to support both our arguments -- that example first mentions copy-pasting being the likely cause of the error and then provides a rewritten example that doesn't use the same code repeatedly (your point).

But a switch-case statement is a counter-example that you would copy-paste code and isn't abstracted into variable array indexes.

Counter-counter-argument: switch-cases have more obvious differences in a (only potentially) multi-character string.

Another potential catch is that they will graudually throttle your cpu speed if you load it too much. I guess this is not unreasonable for the price, but they don't mention it anywhere on the site and market it as "guaranteed" or "dedicated" cpu, which is definitely misleading.

If you want a budget vps and willing to do your due dilligence I recommend looking at lowendtalk[0]. If you check out the the customer reviews and the quarterly top provider poll results, you can often find offers comparable to the bigger providers for a fraction of the price.

Are your views consistent with the sum total of human behavioral history? If so, I'd say you're not being pessimistic at all.
Well I think it's because people understand what happens when a dam fails vs when nuclear fails its all this horrible radiation that goes out, or other mysterious and harmful effects.
I will (for argument sake) concede every point you made. Every point.

Two questions to ponder -

Is climate change "good" or "bad"?
What causes climate change?

I suspect that the largest driver is solar activity.

Anyway, please keep "left" vs "right" out of this.
I just read the stuff on johhnydecimal.com and am near-instantly hooked!

> why would scientists around the world spend years studying complicated subjects, and then decades doing research, and NEARLY ALL accept a bribe from the leftists of YOUR country to sabotage their own sensors and models and data?

Because the human mind is extremely susceptible to delusion. Delusions which are more important to the holder than reality.

It's hard to admit that you might very well be wrong. That your well-intentioned actions may very well be causing damage not only to the world, but to you yourself. It's much easier to deny that, and claim (evidence to the contrary) that your intentions are well and good.

Otherwise intelligent and functional people can hold dear the most ludicrous delusions. Because they're emotionally important.

And in the end, emotion over-rules reason for most cases.

Edit No, I don't mean the scientists are delusional. I mean the climate change deniers are. Pay attention, people.
"While I'm at it, please explain why science has become so politicized by the political right."

I hope I can answer this from a neutral perspective.

The left gave up on implementing global socialism; it was rejecting by the populations of almost every country in the world, when given a democratic choice.

Then climate change came along and with it solid scientific evidence. The left jumped on it as a reason to implement a global anti-capitalist societal change towards the left. Therefore green issues were hijacked by the left, and the right responded by being anti-green.

And that's how we ended up in the absurd situation we are in now.
Yes, that's it, a few seconds after the 36 minutes mark. I think you're right, and it does look a lot smaller upon rewatching!
It has nothing to do with nuclear power failing catastrophically. As another commenter points out, the failure of damns can be even more destructive.

I think the issue is that nuclear power is intimately linked to nuclear weapons. As a result, you end up with images like these in the public imagination (Simpsons clips), which have no foundation in reality:

The author cites research that ties a downfall in civic engagement to the demise of local news coverage. While I find this correlation to be obvious (to my line of thinking), she assigns no responsibility for this demise to her peers -- the ones writing news and opinion.

In the large Midwestern cities in which I have lived, local newspapers generally choose to align themselves on the side of local governments and chambers-of-commerce on virtually every new development subsidy or tax deal regardless of the costs to be incurred by local residents and businesses and/or the sketchiness of the scheme.

Readers look to the fourth estate for a voice when elected representatives collude with special interests. If they are merely mouthpieces and cheerleaders for those in power, readers will look elsewhere or disengage.
Meh, these recommendations basically boil down to: "pay attention"
Sometimes when the rights of sellers and the rights of buyers clash, it becomes obvious that the rights of buyers should be protected by the government through regulation since the market isn't fully free due to monopolistic or oligopolistic market forces. Even Mr. Pai can see that this is stupid, but is unwilling to require manufacturers to do the right thing. This is one of those cases where libertarianism loses its appeal.
Your method is what I was doing before I started steaming them recently, though I generally let them stand in the hot water for a couple minutes longer. If doing this, older eggs are much easier to peel. You might also try peeling after just 5 minutes in an ice bath.

Steaming them makes even the ones done with new eggs easy to peel, and they cook without an air pocket in my recent experience.
This is nice and an interesting overview, but it still leaves me confused whether one should even use k8s. We currently use a docker-compose to set up and run multi-container services (django, celery & workers, nginx, cron/backup), yet I'm somewhat unconvinced of why we should invest in "upgrading" to kubernetes.

My understanding is that it will make the system deal automatically with failing containers, though docker-compose already does that for us. Load balancing is another strength, though that is currently not an issue for us. It might automate certain container managing scripts, but that is less of an issue right now

In other words, I currently don't see an actual benefit of k8s over even docker-compose (not docker-swarm, which I understand is the direct k8s alternative). Anyone able to elaborate?!

Since you are the most scientific person here, could you talk about the oxygenation levels during interglacial periods? Also, what did humans do then to reduce CO2 emissions?
