> Ranchers in general get a pretty sweet deal from the feds.

See, this is the problem mindset, and the reason people are protesting. The mindset should not be "oh, it's all owned by the federal government, and everything they choose to give you you should be grateful for"

The land is literally supposed to be held in trust for the public, and free to use. The BLM prevents abuse, but it's not supposed to be making a profit from the public. For the vast majority of the country's history, fees to use public lands were token, because it was land owned _collectively by the people_

Now that a small minority of the country actually uses the land, because people have moved to the cities, nobody notices that this contract is being slowly changed, to the detriment of people who have relied on this public access for a long time.
So Republicans don't want people to vote?

Real question, I'm in Australia and don't know.
The problem I have with these reports is that they are based on self reports and feelings. If you constantly tell people that their group is being victimized, they will start interpreting everything that happens to them through victim-colored glasses and will interpret many actions from actual discrimination to non-descriminatory actions as descrimination. We need objective measures of discrimination not feelings and self reports. Teaching people to interpret everything as discrimination by default actively harms them because it robs them of the opportunity of attributing the cause to their own shortcomings (when that is actually the cause) and therefore being able to come to the conclusion that they need to change to overcome the circumstance. If the desired goal is success at the individual level, it is simply not productive/constructive to arrive at any conclusion where you externalize blame.

FWIW, I'm an engineer from Latin America myself. Latin America will never be as well represented as people from Asia, especially from China, India, Korea and Japan, because those countries academically value (1) engineering and (2) English more highly than any country in Latin America. Until countries in Latin America start doing the same, I don't expect this to change.

>So every tor ip is hostile to cloudflare sites?

OP blog post claims 96% of the traffic going to their tor hidden service is hostile. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me at all that every tor ip is hostile.
Your first sentence is exactly what I've asked myself recently. What do I think about once I'm no longer sitting at my desk? What kind of problems does my brain try to solve?

Incongruously, I think mostly about non coding related problems. Still, if I understand the code base and its frameworks, the degree of coding related thinking increases substantially.

But normally, I automatically think more about "How to improve the reviewing process? How to improve onboarding? How to calculate costs? How to organize / improve our customer support?" and similiar problems. Those topics are all more in the project manager department. Maybe I'm better suited for that kind of role, but I can't take myself seriously if I haven't build a strong tecnical skillset.
We definitely humanise cars and planes, it's just different due to how we interact with each of them. Early fighter pilots and race car drivers did a lot more hands on maintenance than their modern counterparts and the way they talked about their cars and planes definitely shows they were humanising them.
Coca-Cola lists caffeine as an ingredient in the UK.

I don't know why caffeine was originally added - maybe for flavour, maybe for the stimulant effects, possibly because of having to not have cocaine in it anymore...
It wasn't just the 70s, my father's picked up on it from all the conspiracy theory YouTube channels and rants on about it today.

Add the success of "Da Vinci Code" which has no specific relation. But then add it's prequel "Angels & Demons" which uses antimatter from CERN to destroy Vatican.

Then add the crap about LHC creating a black hole and destroying the universe and you have 500 TV stations at the launch of a particle accelerator. The specific experiment that was happening at the time didn't matter much.
I think these estimates are very conservative, try to imagine what the sales curve for "cars burning unleaded gasoline" would look like. Once the technology becomes comparable, including infrastructure for battery swaps, regulation will take over.

I imagine large cities will just say "no fossil fuel burning vehicles in the downtown core" and "taxis must all be electric" and those numbers will change dramatically. Fossil fuel cars will simply be banned in many (most?) countries.

That's not even accounting for the role self-driving vehicles will play, which will kick in long before 2040. There is no need for a full level 4 vehicle to ever be fossil fuel powered.

The market still wants Win32 because metro/uwp was crippled, limited. Or more precisely, apps built on the new platform were not powerful. Microsoft Edge which was built as a tech demonstrator still had to rely on private APIs.

Second reason: The only place to discover and install the new apps is on the store which has bad, awful, pitiful search to using google or even bing. I don't know why MS doesn't leverage Bing in the store.

Lastly, in my locale and surrounding countries, sharing EXES is still necessary because of internet speed and data limits.

Ms removed the Small text size download links in the store. And their TOS prohibits development of apps to download them.

To give a context of importance of UWP/Metro installation files downloadability:

A customer walks into my shop and buys a new Android phone. And after that asks me to fill up the phone with apps like dictionary, bible, WhatsApp, anti-virus, games... for a fee.

The same happens with Windows desktop portion. But this isn't feasible with the new apps - internet cost and download time.

And it was one chief reason why Windows Phone didn't take off - at least in my country.

A friend return a chrome book last year simply because he couldn't just copy apps from others (like on windows).
Pollution in the UK is measured using NOx, PPM10, and PPM2.5

Pollution from brake and tyre particles is something that will not be tackled.

I do think the key is lack of choice. People feel, given the design of our roads, that they have no choice but to get into a steel box and drive around.

For the vast majority of the country's history, fees to use public lands were token, because it was land owned _collectively by the people_

The BLM doesn't make a profit. Actually they (rather, the Dept. of the Interior) don't charge enough for things like mineral extraction. Think of it this way. You and I and everyone else owns those minerals. The US should make sure that we as taxpayers are getting our fair share of their value. It is the same thought process behind the FCC and spectrum auctions. When there is a public good involved, the government needs to make sure it is being put to the best use for all of the citizens. Not just the first people in the door or the well connected.

>Now that a small minority of the country actually uses the land, because people have moved to the cities, nobody notices that this contract is being slowly changed, to the detriment of people who have relied on this public access for a long time.

This is an erroneous statement. Where did you read this?

More people are using BLM land, especially in the Bears Ears area than ever before. This is because of population growth and increased awareness of BLM land. In the past, it was just ranchers and hunters using the land. Now people go hiking, ride ATVs, ride horses (for fun, not work like in the past), etc.

How do you learn anything tangible from this? It's just a bunch of successful people talking about what they did. Without more context this is just survivorship bias, most of these aren't even serial entrepreneurs.
I've always viewed that as an excuse not to teach it in school, and I've never quite understood. Same with personal finance.

How are you supposed to learn something from your parents if the parents do not cook or are not responsible with their money or refuse to share financials with the child? We know some kids are in that situation and teaching such things is a preventative measure.

Leaf driver (bought second hand), and DIY electric motorbike builder here.

The commercial chargers are all waterproof, with connectors rated IP67 or similar, usually with a drain outlet for any water that does somehow manage to get in the connector. The cables are similarly rated.

The lowest rated cable I own is the "home charge" kit, which takes a normal (UK) 3 pin wall socket and imitates a "proper" EVSE charger for the car with a J1772 connector at the car end. The wall plug bit I currently solved by fitting a waterproof outdoor socket and use that when I need to charge at home.

At some point I should take advantage of the government grants for fitting a proper home charger akin to the commercial ones...

Ask HN: Does the lack of female speakers at conferences bother you?
Does it really bother people that conferences are dominated by male speakers?

Is the content and delivery not more important than the person speaking?

What is the most important thing to you; Who the speaker is? Or the topic?

Personally I go to conferences to learn new things and connect with people, I don't care if the speakers are male or female as long as the topics are interesting and the delivery is good.

What are your thoughts?
I've been on HN for a long time (this is not my first account even) but I had completely forgotten about pagination on HN. Even when you talked about it I only get a vague feeling that I've seen it ever. Probably I have seen it but still it feels like the sort of memory that one has of something that didn't actually happen but which you have a "memory" of because someone told you it happened.

I guess I usually simply stop scrolling before I get to the very bottom of HN.

Just to be clear though, are we talking about a "next" link at the bottom of the page, or Reddit-style "continue" links for subtrees of comments beyond a certain depth?
Surely that's the whole point - it's a dialect, so it has the same core but not 100% so you have to translate some of it to get to the other.

The dialects of Dutch in Belgium contain completely different words and phrases - but the core is still Dutch.

But for large parts of the speech they are recognisably similar.

So I'd say yes all the lisps you mentioned are dialects of Lisp. You can't run one directly in the other, but they are reconisably similar programming constructs.
> producing them, providing the energy, and finally handling the waste at the end

All of those produce environmental effects that for EVs are now:

- local instead of spread out
- largely decoupled from the vehicle

This is a huge architectural change because we're factoring environmental effects out of the vehicle, which allows for accelerated improvements without changing the car itself as well as economies of scale resulting in better environmental efficiency. Switch from coal to nuke and all currently running EVs stop emitting a lot of CO2 at once. Switch to wind+solar and they're suddenly all nuke-waste-free too. The same car could change to more recyclable battery tech (swappable batteries, battery rental...) over the course of its life and become progressively cleaner. So even if it provides an increase right now (which it doesn't, plus we're just living on a huge carbon credit card anyway) it certainly won't on the medium to long term.

I live in an apartment, in a Megacity[0], and none of my friends have cars[1].

I see no reason to suspect that city life diminishes interest in nature. If anything, it's more of an experience because it's different. Come summer, my Facebook feed is filled with nature, and I've personally crossed the Alps on bicycle, usually camping the forests at night.

Upkeep of a few roads isn't actually that expensive, and to some degree costs are proportional to use. Take a look at a map of Australia to see many roads that may only see a few cars per week. Even if a National Park were only accessible by gravel road, I'd argue it'd enhance the experience.

With regards to cars, I get the sense that the most realistic future is no longer mass-transit only, but includes self-driving electric car-sharing. That allows people to continue enjoying the benefits of individual cars (privacy, carrying stuff, direct point-to-point, use of existing infrastructure worth billions) while still enabling the kind of transformation previously attributed to mass transit. For example, autonomous driving and car-sharing reduces the need for parking spaces and allows parking spaces to move to less-desirable areas, freeing up 1/3 of your typical city street.

I recently visited the US and I thought the process was going to be hell after reading a lot of these threads on HN. Turns out it was pretty chill, got some questions before boarding and was selected for extra security check. Then upon landing I got like 3 questions from the officer, how long I would stay, where my friends were and what the purpose of my trip was.

Sure they didn't seem very friendly but it wasn't a big of a hassle. I didn't bring my laptop though because I don't want it searched.

EVs solve part of the problem. Self driving taxi (SDT) fleets solve a large part of the rest. Things you don't need in a SDT world include store parking lots, personal garages and driveways, commuter parking in the daytime, and one car per person.

EV+SDT gets you a world where enormous amounts of space can be released for either urban development or rewilding, and where you can breathe the air. It also gives you, conveniently, a world where it's much safer to cycle. SDTs will not drive dangerously, and they don't have blind spots.

Since becoming an entrepreneur, I have never had a "vacation" - Sure, I went to different places, but always with laptop and a bag full of assorted devices in tow.

Sounds like classical Planning Fallacy to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_fallacy

In a nutshell, the theory is that people tend to plan too optimistically because they look at the (usually small) probability of each problem, but fail to consider the much larger probability of there being problems at all.

> I find manual work required by the latter to be 100% worthwhile and usually necessary

Roughly the same experience. Automatic generation for anything more than trivial examples always seems to lead to the need for more and more configuration to keep everything in line, to the point where just writing everything by hand becomes less work. This is likely due to the type of software we use it for, but still, the amount of time I lost on SWIG really seems wasted instead of leaving the feeling of having learnt at least something. It was all not very pleasant. The Python side of our software gets exposed to less tech-savvy users and is meant to be a more friendly layer over C++ functions and classes. But the C++ side isn't really an API in the sense there is no hard distinction between the 'internal' layer and the API layer. Some class which is only used internally might the next day also be wrapped to be available in Python. So there's no single directory or so one can point to and say 'everything in there is the API'. Also given a C++ class, sometimes only a couple of methods have to get exposed to the users, sometimes with a different name even, or some arguments defaulted etc. Preferrably without having to write a wrapper just for the sake of exposing it. All this turned out to be a nightmare in SWIG. Just manually writing one or more lines for registering the function manually (not Boost.Python but similar) is usually a one-time-almost-never-look-back thing which, for us, is way less work in the end. Even with the hundreds of functions we have already. And of course performance is the other advantage.

What is meant by page rank?
My parents have used a Brita filter for years.

For them it started out because they were fed up of descaling the kettle, as they live in a very hard water area (lots of dissolved minerals) and the kettle would scale up easily. But they also always use the filtered water for drinking, because they prefer the taste now.

My sister doesn't, she drinks it straight from the tap when she's visiting.

But it's not at all about water safety. It's just about flavour and the longevity of the kettle (and the iron).
Page Rank is the algorithm of Google Search Engine which is invented by Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Page rank determines the importance of web page. It evaluates the quantity and quality of links to determine the score of web page authority between 0 to 10.
This is not necessarily true, and all structures must be removed (though the timeframe is flexible).

For some platforms you're absolutely correct; those with gravity-base foundations whose foundations were used for hydrocarbon storage are a technical and environmental nightmare. Unfortunately it's damned if you do, damned it you don't; removing them completely risks catastrophic spillage, leaving it in place also risks damage in decades to come. It was regretfully not well-considered in the wild west days of offshore drilling when many of these concrete-base platforms were installed.

Many (most, but I haven't checked the numbers) other platforms are supported by steel towers, and these did not use their foundations for any sort of chemical storage. By law (in the North Sea at least) when these are removed they must be fully removed. Challenging, but not a considerable environmental risk.

I have been to the US multiple times with a B1-Business Visa and didn't do any of this stuff. I just showed up and the customs officer asked a bunch of questions about my purpose of visit and that's about it. I didn't need any invitation letter or hotel bookings, etc.

Hotel bookings and a LOT of other documentation is required when applying for a tourist / business visa for Europe or UK, but traveling to the US has always been fairly straightforward (except that you need to make two visits the US embassy or consulate twice for the visa formalities).

At all times, I had my company laptop with all the data + source code.
