I grabbed this article and replaced:

- "carpenter" with "data scientist"

- "brown" with "machine learning"

- "walnut" with "AI" and

- "rock" with "Kubernetes"

It was perfectly up to date regarding my neck of the woods :)

Hiring a good carpenter is probably way easier than hiring a good programmer.

The dizzying but invisible depth of modern computers
The Industrial Revolution -- and all of the CO2 put in the atmosphere since then - was basically "climate engineering". It was unintended, unplanned climate engineering, but that is what it was. We took a stick and poked at the climate system enough to cause measurable shifts in it (climate change).

Many of the solutions being proposed are simply more thoughtful forms of climate engineering, designed with a better understanding of the system's inputs and outputs.

The law of unintended consequences will play a big part here, because the climate is a terrifyingly complex system. But, at this point, it is reasonable to make assertions about big picture inputs and outputs (eg., more/less CO2 = warmer/cooler global temperatures).

So, climate engineering is something that has been going on for a very long time, even if it was not called that. It will continue being a thing, albeit hopefully in a much more directed and thoughtful way.
Classical Greek civilization was the high point of the 'city-state', but the poleis could only survive if there was no strong nation-state messing around with them. They rallied together to prevent Persia moving Westwards, but simply could not get their act together to stop an old-fashioned imperial kingdom, Macedonia. And once the Romans expanded, they had no hope of regaining autonomy.
Dunno, I spent close to a week trying to get it to compile with and without encryption on Windows to no avail.

I still think that the "project" directory is best, but I'm glad that Pip is moving to local-by-default in any case. It won't take away from the necessity of virtualenv for cases of different dependency versions, e.g. Django 1.4 and 1.10, I think, unfortunately, but it's definitely better than global by default.
"The recruiter did mean UNIX-like systems."

Nope. The hiring manager meant that.

The recruiter in this case is a pattern-matching engine with no internal semantics, as a result of Facebook hiring them and training them but not educating them.

One area where I am not keen to see IPv6 spreading is SMTP traffic. IP reputation while not perfect is still a useful layer of lipstick on the SMTP pig.

One area where I am keen to see IPv6 spreading is IoT. I don't know if we can ever secure those things, but it will certainly make scanning the IP address space for vulnerable devices impractical.
I don't see a lot of "why" in this supposed solution. If what the author says is true, it sounds like an incredibly painstaking process to encode all of this, especially when it was something so tedious (it would make more sense if the source material were interesting or salacious!). I can sort of understand abbreviating the long plant names to individual symbols, referenced from an index, and I can understand ligatures for things like "etiam", but why make each and every single character represent a whole word? Surely the end result is that the manuscript, even with the index, becomes very, very hard to read?

And is there a good explanation for why this document apparently stands alone in history as the only manuscript written in this way? Were there others, and we just lost them? Was this just a particularly egregious example of this forgotten art, and others written in this manner were easier to decipher? Lastly, there's a whole Wikipedia page about "scribal abbreviations" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribal_abbreviation - if decoding the Voynich manuscript were so easy as the author makes out ("It became obvious...") then why has some other medieval expert not already figured it out in the near-century people have been studying this manuscript?

I don't know. I think you're probably correct. But really the assertion would be might stronger if there was more than anecdotal evidence to back it up.

This is what I'm trying to say the data presented in the article, is on the level of anecdotal evidence. Which, tends to weaken the argument rather than strengthen it.

Right, but a one time energy cost of removal?

Our environment built itself out of eons of incremental changes using self replicating systems using the entirety of habitable surface area.

I think its extremely unlikely that there will be a single one time way of removing carbon from the air (I'd bet on it).

So we will be left with constant and continuous systems cleaning the air.

Instead of not mucking it up in the first place.

----

You should also consider that the moment people start selling Geo engineering, they will also sell permission to keep doing what we are doing.

So the solution seems to be to spend more on cleaning the air, and allowing us to pollute it further at the same time.

In such a scenario I see things going MORE wrong, with unanticipated effects going on to create more damage.

> Interviewer: How long have you been doing it?
> Carpenter: Ten years.

Now if that were 20 years, instead of the rock it would be a complex, slow hammering machine that employed tumbled-smooth colored rocks.

Those rocks would pulled from a shared quarry at the point in time when they were needed.

The new way to provide such rocks would be to order a large truck carrying the rock hammering machine and a set of subcontractors you'd previously had to train by showing them videos on an old VHS tape player. However, the truck would still need to be loaded after each materialization for the job. The truck usually would contain the same supplies, but sometimes some of the rocks would be replaced by scorpions.

Whether or not to use the truck at a job and which trucking company would be a point of debate. Google Building Co. would make the best fleets of trucks with laser targeting systems that made sense to the highly-intelligent, fluffy bears that worked there. Microsoft Building Co. also had two versions of trucks: the old truck that was much slower but worked with existing technology and the new truck which worked if you used a Danish truck and better smaller rocks that few people could find. All of their workers swore like sailors. A subcontracting team all wearing red baseball caps worked with both companies, but supplied their own equipment that was all transparent, and you could either pay for it or not, depending on whether or not you got it from someone else they gave it to.

...there was something about nails, but I forget.
Look, cars that have specific features cost more than cars that don't have those features. That's objective. Stocks of companies that are very profitable, like google are more expensive than stocks of companies that are not. That's objective. Right ?

Thanks. Pressing the "reader" button also does the trick.
That's not necessarily because you could do it in a single frame; a lot of the old touch controllers would maintain high levels of hysteresis as a really crude technique to mitigate low SNR. Couple that with a fairly dumb implementation of pointer tracking and you end up easily fooling touchpad into thinking the two pointers are the same. Note also that this is a much rarer and more user-friendly failure scenario than choosing to have the software err in the other direction (erroneously splitting a moving finger into two separate pointers, one of which may look like a tap gesture).

Source: I occasionally work with touchscreens, many of which experienced the same issue in early devices.
The web is not Internet, also all website servers would be IPv4/6 compatible but most clients would still use IPv4 to access the website and they largely outnumber servers.

I thought I'd get used to it but after struggling with the dongle at first to use my preferred headphones (Cheapish Sony earbuds that I've found sound better than apple and last 2 years), then losing the dongle and resorting to earpods.

I now just carry two pairs of headphones everywhere, one for my Apple laptop and one for my Apple iPhone.

Even tried the Beats X, W1 chip was all hype it's barely any different from regular bluetooth and juggling with then UI to turn headphones on and off is more tedious than just plugging something in and living with a cable, so those are collecting dust now.

Didn't want to buy another dongle because that would just prove to Apple that people are happy with the dongle.

What is climate denial? Please define. I hope this is a reference to the debate regarding the magnitude of the climate sensitivity parameter. If not, then what is it? No one of any consequence (least of all, someone like Richard Lindzen) denies that there is such a parameter and that it is central to the climate question. So what value would you go for and why? I guess a climate denialist would say it has a value of zero (denies science as we understand climate at present) but we can conclude that Arrhenius (at '5') went too high. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_sensitivity
So it lies somewhere in between.

There's basically an independent part of the administration that oversees elections. Voting points are manned by volunteers and counting happens by volunteers as well. Every citizen is allowed to witness the counting and visit the voting point. Since it's all paper ballots, this doesn't require any knowledge beyond mostly simple math (local elections can have some more elaborate rules on what constitutes a valid vote, but federal elections are fairly simple in that regard.) The tally is announced locally before transferred to the regional and higher offices.

I'd be surprised if someone manages to slip in an invalid count and not be detected: Most crucial voting points are monitored by people from polling institutes that want results as early as possible. Significant differences would likely raise flags. (I did that a few times for infratest, it's actually fairly ok paid for sitting there and watching).

n.B.: The software seems to be an absolute clusterfuck and it's probably possible to sow discord and confusion, I just don't believe that you can actually change the election result with these issues - just make people question it, which is bad enough.

You can buy the cases without phone internals easily in the markets in Shenzhen.

Citizens are asked to manage the voting process and counting.

I've helped in this role for a long time, but considered my duty done as it sometimes was a lot of work deep into the nights especially if several elections and referendums where conducted at the same time.

Everyone can attend the voting process and counting process.

Schools etc. for places to vote, voting booths, paper etc. is supplied by the administration as is the selection of citizens who manage the voting and counting process. The Federal Returning Officer is responsible for organizing elections (for federal elections, similar posts exists for state elections and I assume local ones).

I don't understand the whole problem.

If everyone who actually cared about it bought e.g. the S8 from Samsung instead, I'm sure Apple would get the message - and bring it back. Since people are still buying it in droves it must not be a real clincher to most people.

The S8+ has a great DAC (as tested on my range of Audio Technica headphones), still supports Bluetooth audio - latest spec, and is a fantastic phone overall, with a design far surpassing the headphone-less iPhone 7.

IMO, Apple engineers have gotten lazy. They removed the port without adding value.

Oh don't get me wrong. I think that global warming activists have lost, and that the end goal for the planet is set.

I'm not campaigning, I'm cooking near the fire.

I make assumptions about the world, and in the end I realized the best way for me to hold myself honest, is to make a prediction and then see how it pans out.

This is one of the predictions I am confident enough about that I can moan about it on HN.

I hope I am wrong, that either some technique is actually found where pumping MORE heat into a heat engine makes it cooler, or people ditch the idea.

But this is not about conservation or global warming campaigning. I think the ship has sailed on that one.

This is just a prediction about a new product.
I wish we were only hiring experienced developers, hiring right out of school and having a manager that only wants experience out of school people is insane. Do you know what oop is?

Have you used the inspector on a web browser before? Get half right and have a sense of humor and you're probably hired but we hire 2 in 20 interviews a year.
