We've privatized law enforcement. Your complaint is said private law enforcement needs to be paid, not just for the work she did on spec here, but also for the work that doesn't succeed or result in a payout.

The alternative to not paying private law enforcement is we get basically no law enforcement around labor codes if you make it not financially feasible for lawyers to take these cases.

Yes, we live with countless blessings. But this is in spite of continued industrial negligence and increasing international economic pressure.

Definitely. If it operated in a Manner similar to Mastodon then FB would be a lot more tempting to use for the limited purposes I feel I need access.
All I would like to use it for is to get an RSS feed of news from various clubs and to be able to reply to such posts (e.g. to confirm that I'll attend an event they've advertised).
Unfortunately, FB disabled the RSS feed some time ago and to use rss-bridge (https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge) requires configuring proxies or trying to solve captchas. Even browsing the public page for an event will shove login boxes or random captchas in my face, and the more it is rammed down my throat the more I wish to avoid it.

Given the scale of China's energy projects this isn't a whole lot. While China has more or less a "let's try it all" approach to energy, nuclear doesn't play any major role.

I seriously doubt that they've spent 10 years in the industry and would read this comment and go "Wait, what?? Oh shit! We fucked up!

A more valid wording for this comment would be "I wonder how they altered the design to accommodate for the siphon effect the gap generated," instead of implying they have no idea what they're doing.

This is my own objection to nuclear energy. It's arguably very safe. It could be made clean, even the by-products.

- the catastrophic climate prediction models have not proven effective at predicting climate

- we should expect moderate increases in warming, which can be beneficial (livable climate, crops etc)

- the unquestionable benefits of hydro carbon energy to bring people out of poverty and into modern prosperity (food, healthcare, modern technology)

Ask HN: What is the password management policy in your organization?
Without going into specifics obviously, generally, how are passwords handled in your workplace?

Asking because a while back my business started handling IT for some local businesses and we noticed it was so poorly handled that some of their clients would get emails from their official gmail account asking for money to be transferred to certain accounts. They suffered other types of attacks such as phishing attempts as well and for the most part, client and suppliers would be savvy enough to call in first when they got peculiar emails.

Just wondering whether this is an unexploited business opportunity or whether someone is already handling this using software; more so for the millions of small businesses that have staff of more than 10 people and it becomes unmanageable for them.
No. I don't back up backups, VM zvols, or media that's easily re-aquired or doesn't have very high value (eg commutes). And of course the NAS isn't full.
I've learned a tremendous amount from reading HN. Sure, there's lots of posts that are time wasters, but so much good information for a developer is concentrated in one place makes it valuable and useful.
The incentive is the premium. That's going to be based on the technical crappiness of a product.

Love that spin. The low end of predictions is that the most stable of ecosystems will regularly experience the extreme weather previously reserved for "once-in-a-century" events in the most volatile regions.

On the "high-end" is a drastic change in the Earth's shape due to gravity with a meter+ of sea level rise around the equator, runaway exponential heating feedback loops triggered in Siberia and like half the ocean floor, and the depletion of almost all potable fresh water currently supplying a population of over 7 billion.

But yeah, if "unlucky over the next century" means the sun will go supernova, we're f-ing peachy!

The problem is non-linearity. Moderate increases in temperatures can have catastrophic effects. While warming can be moderate at the planetary level, changes can be dramatic locally. Droughts and failing crops lead to massive migration (which we're already witnessing). Changing climate has brought tropical diseases to temperate climates.

Which would imply that there's a demand for people who know both COBOL, and whatever's the popular migration target for such systems these days (I assume Java?).
If both temperature and CO2 levels set new records every single year, then it's stoping sensational - it becomes expected. I'm still hoping to hear solid solutions that will work on a global level, and so far, there aren't any.

As a matter of fact, with the global rise of populism it looks like in some areas, the world is going backwards. Leaked UK government memo says the environmental protections and pollution limits will have to be scaled back for UK to remain competitive after brexit. Trump is actively fighting environment protection. Cutting down of the amazon forest has slowed down in the last 20 years due to huge amount of international pressure, only to accelerate to unprecedented levels now that most of this pressure is gone.

I mean sure, Americans and other wealthy nations buying millions of electric cars is going to help somewhat, but I almost think that the world truly needs to get fucked over this, so that people on every level feel the effects or they won't care. Countries will start caring once they start losing coastal cities, corporations will start caring once global warming destroys their profits. I'm almost certain there is no other way.
'Clickbait' has become a cliched term on sites like Reddit and HN. The purpose of a headline is to encourage people to read the article, not to provide a concise but accurate summary of the article.

The problem with clickbait is that the article doesn't live up to the promise of the headline. If I click on an article about "34 ways to get a flatter stomach - you won't believe number 7" but there's just a long list of debunked remedies and unfounded assertions, that's a problem with the article, not the headline. People then share the article without reading it, so crap articles end up polluting search result pages and newsfeeds. So now we've started to associate enticing headlines with poor quality articles, because so often it's true.

But getting rid of good headlines isn't going to solve the problem of poor quality articles, or people not reading content that they share.
Probably not any of that at all.

"I vote we kill you first"

If you're going to troll, at least get your science right. Breathing out CO2 adds zero net CO2 to the atmosphere, because it comes from food you ate, which itself came from CO2 in the atmosphere.

The oil and gas that an individual uses to survive, on the other hand, is literally deadly. So you are at the verge of having a point: we could lower CO2 usage by killing people.

However, a much more direct and reasonable fix to the problem is to disincentive the use and production of that particular poison. There are a couple ways to do this, but I'd argue a steep carbon tax, with proceeds used for funding sequestration research and programs, is the most humane solution to the monstrous evil of carbon pollution.
Does it really? Do you have any evidence of it costing more than one generation anything?

Wow! That's insanely good. You'd actually get to do one of two things; see the holes in your argument or see the holes in the opposing argument. Works both ways.
Why bother?

The IPCC, which is the official authority on climate change, says that over the next 200 years sea levels will rise by a meter or 2.

Damaging, for sure. Trillions of dollars in costs. But not exactly world ending.

Thats the scientific consensus. I look at the official statistics that the scientists provide, and I go "meh".

If I had the choice between magically stopping climate change forever, and stopping, I don't know, a single Iraq War (trillions in damages!), I'd have an awful hard time choosing between the 2.

You are right that it is an issue that is talked about and it was discussed in the lead up to the the 2016 election. However, since the election there has been very little attention paid to climate change and there is some evidence that Australia is on-track to be in violation of the Paris Agreement[1].

Australia chose to elect a party with policies that target greenhouse gas emissions the least, 26-28% 2005 levels by 2030, where the next most popular party has target of 45% 2005 levels by 2030.

The former Labor government introduced a tax on carbon emissions[2] and a mining resource rent tax[3] in 2012. These taxes were later repealed in 2014 by our current Liberal/National government. Since the repeal, our emissions have been steadily increasing[4].

Talk is cheap and when push comes to shove on climate change, the majority of Australian's give into the scaremongering of conservative politics.

I haven't read up on Intel's anti-trust cases, and even though I know they've done many of the things Qualcomm has done so far, I think Qualcomm is a much nastier company. Some proof for that is that multiple governments have already fined it or are about to fine it a billion dollar a piece.

If you've read some of my previous comments on Intel, you know I'm not a fan of the company (precisely because of the nasty monopolistic behavior it tends to employ as well). But Qualcomm scares me, and it makes me wonder whether I even want them to break Intel's monopoly in the PC market, only to be abused by an even worse company.

Granted, a new monopoly isn't necessarily the only outcome, and perhaps a more ideal (but also relatively realistic) situation would be something like Intel holding 40% of the PC market (as it retreats to more profitable up-markets), AMD holding 35% of the market (thanks to Ryzen and high value/buck), and Qualcomm 25% of the market (think low-budget high-volume $100 laptops in China, India and Africa).

Anyways, read-up on the things Qualcomm has done, especially the KFTC anti-trust case against Qualcomm. I actually read through the whole pdf file from KFTC recently, but they seem to have taken all anti-trust papers down from the past three years, likely because companies like Qualcomm complained that those papers would "hurt their image". However there is still another anti-trust case paper against Qualcomm from 2012, but I haven't read that one yet.
