Facebook per se? No. But I'm a math grad. Yet I ALSO have this ability to read English (and Spanish and some Portuguese, but I'm not here to brag.) Wow. Look at that, I've mastered a couple different sets of syntax that enable semantic understanding.

And there are books written in English that talk to the social history of the species. History, physics, etc, being subsets of English syntax (or other "human languages") tailored to describe specific semantics.

A casual look at what happened over the years as various social bubbles suddenly slammed into each other; Columbus and Americas, repeated conquering of Europe and further east.

Doesn't seem a stretch to think "information network could be used for malicious shit." And it has been for years, depending on who talk to (content piracy, trafficking, AI guided weapons, etc) before Facebook. So there's a plain history in contemporary times too. No need to dig that far back into history.

And it's not advocating for binning the abstract research, or avoiding making these things concretely. It advocates for fostering a conversation about the potential pitfalls.

Like programmers do before considering a change.

Deep knowledge of the specifics isn't necessary, IMO. We code heads are already aware of "change in system may have bad side effects. Let's avoid it as much as possible." Emotional consideration is already there.

This thread is devolving into childish attitudes about having to be part of society. Division of labor taken to its extreme, leads people to just disregard they are a part of a bigger picture (society). What did Adam Smith have to say about such things? All the way back in the 1700s. And he had no where near modern formal training. Seems rather spot on here.
> The secret is letting them heat up before using them; not getting them too hot, and using a little oil or butter.

And "before using them" means also: before putting on that oil. Heat empty first, then oil.

I mostly agree.

That plastic produce CO2 when decomposed is not a surprise if you have a tiiiiiny knowledge of chemistry. They say that they will discuss the CO2 in another article. (There are some problems, "bad" plastics that last foever and accumulate will produce a small amount of CO2 each year that is good; and "good" plastic that are biodegradable will produce more CO2 each year that is bad. It's difficult to be good in all metrics.)

In the article they discuss that some plastic also release methane that is much worse for the greenhouse effect. (And ethylene that I'm not sure how bad it is.) I guess it is not very surprising, but it is slightly more surprising than CO2. I didn't find a good discussion about how much worse it is, because the press article lacks any technical information. It could be important or not, but the press article prefer to say "at an alarming rate. (Is there any other kind of rate?)" than to give good information.
That's my understanding as well. Bacteria cannot survive in alcohol because the lipid structure in their cell membranes are disrupted and their proteins become denatured

There's a sense in which summary views are the real data. If I asked Spotify to share my data, and they just sent me a 250 MB file of every interaction they've ever recorded, I would conclude they're trying to obfuscate which data they actually use and how they use it.
The various Unixes had growing pains there, too. They took 20 to 40 years to get at a state where all greps behaved more or less the same, and they haven’t even reached a state where regular expressions are standardized.
They don't take care of this issue most of the time, and in Clojurescript they are meaningless. In Clojure, only hints on primitive Java types (integer, etc) do something meaningful, so any custom Clojure types or your own "types" have no such checking, and in particular keywords are always valid if they are mistyped which results in a running program with no errors that creates nil and null pointer exceptions and undefined and other things all over the place.

It's a tradeoff for using an expressive dynamic language, I guess.

Some folks below are replying to the contrary, however, in my 10 years of working in NYC restaurants, from your local bar/pub to fine dinning and BRGuest, I have never seen a non stick pan in the kitchen.

Chefs take their frustration out on pans and slam, toss, and scrape them to oblivion.

Edit: adding an anecdote about cooking eggs:

In one restaurant I worked, it was part of the interview process to ask a chef to make an omelette. If the eggs got stuck to the pan or the omelette was destroyed, they didn’t get hired.

When I asked our Sous Chef why this was so difficult he explained that it’s a basic skill that every chef should have and understand the chemical reaction of proteins in a high heat pan with oil.

This is just so bloody predictable. Recycling isn't a new thing. It's been common "forever" to recycle paper and metals. But you had to keep stuff separate: steel, copper, brass, newspaper, bond paper, etc.

But to increase participation in modern consumer society, commingled "recycling" became the norm. And it just doesn't work. Broken glass makes paper useless, because it damages machines. And once commingled recyclables go through the collection process, with crushing and shearing, separation becomes virtually impossible.

Anyway, the only hope is source separation. And that's problematic. Because most people don't want to bother. And because there are just too many categories. Too many kinds of plastics. Packaging with multiple layers, including paper, metal and plastic.

It would be interesting to know if men are more lonely than women as everything I've seen has shown that it's easier for women to join social circles and find dates whereas most men struggle with this. As a result, I wonder if this connects to the much high suicide rate for men.

Central Illinois is a big, flat, boring, methamphetamized prairie too, but I'd still rather live in Chicago than on either coast. Most places you could think of wanting to live are surrounded by boring places.

As in many other cases you assume the companies are not doing illegal stuff and you act when someone reports them.
A developer that is asked to do something illegal like hiding something from the exported data can report it .
I'm curious if this is a direct result of the internet and smartphones. The two make us feel more connected, more global, but I think it makes us more isolated. I miss talking to my friends on the phone, and hanging out in the 90s. Everything, especially how humans interact, is so digital today.

Bioaccumulation can cause harm in a number of different ways.

One of the biggest risks is cancer. For example, lung cancer is often caused (in part) by accumulation of soot in your lungs, or asbestos particles, that your body cannot remove. And yes, they say there is no safe exposure level to smoking or asbestos.

Other effects include mental illness, diseases of the liver or kidneys, often seen with heavy metals.

When foreign objects get in protected nooks and crannies of your body, like vital organs, and stay there for the rest of your life, bad things happen.

I don't think everyone agrees people have the right to claim ownership to all data exchanged in a multi-party interaction. Further I don't think anyone understands Identity well enough to be able to provide transitively collected data without breaching confidence of similar third-parties.

And once you land on those country crossroads, you can continue exploring the area at the street level. It's really an incredible tool for sating wanderlust - just pop over to some place you've wanted to visit and wander the streets via streetview, all from the comfort of your seat!

Speaking of which, GeoGuessr [1] is a great example of how to enjoy Google Maps. You start at some random streetview and try to figure out where in the world you are by walking around (and hoping to see a sign or two)! A lot of times you end up in dirt roads in small countries, and it's really cool to see what it looks like there.

> don't use your home address.

Why not? Addresses are public information anyway.
I agree with that, a big part of the "puzzle" aspect is that it shoudl get _HARD_. There are plenty of platform puzzle games (trine comes to mind) which are fun, but they aren't really hard. As a child of the 80's games I really find game reviewers that complain about how hard games are to be silly. That was a time when the idea of saving your progress was foreign. There is nothing like having to play a game for an hour to get back to the point where you died.

I think a good recommendation might be FEZ for a game with physical puzzles that get incredibly difficult.

Although, even machinarium (which was in humble bundle2 with braid) has some pretty fun puzzles in the form of a point and click adventure.
I read your post twice and you didn't mention rebooting. Were you rebooting because of docking?

Most of your gripes come from running Linux on a laptop machine. If you are a person who likes to work on powerful desk workstations, Linux behaves great on those. Granted, some things, such as multifunction printers (which are mostly software-driven) don't have support. You do have to be careful when selecting hardware, unfortunately.

It really isn't. It gives competitors ability to take you down at whim with no control.

The right compromise is forced time horizons which are reasonable, and parallel execution, with significant penalties. Natural monopolies are a huge problem that does need regulation, but this goes to far for me to be comfortable with, and I worked at independent ISPs for like 10 years.
Hand sanitisers in offices etc. should be outlawed. There's simply no reason for their existence and using them probably weakens your immune system anyway. They are useful for situations like camping but that is all.
We had a rough plan of getting into the rental\sales listing game, using our map and search engine as the killer feature. Turns out to make any headway at all in that game you need big bucks as it's entirety marketing driven. We had way more features than this product and made exactly 0 money from it. We were pretty young and commercially incompetant though.
I got a trainer for winter riding, and it ate my tires. Also a good spin bike does a better job at keeping momentum which makes it feel more like a normal ride outside.

I think like most things the amount of use really determines what you should do. If you are going to ride outside most of the time, and just want an indoor option then a trainer is a great choice, but if you are going to be riding daily, spend the extra money and get a real spin bike.
I've had the opposite experience with my Fidelity card. I've accidentally swiped it a few times with no consequences, just had to insert the chip afterward.
Their fraud detection has been spot on. I must've gotten skimmed and incurred a fraudulent charge. The card was immediately cancelled, I was notified, and three days later I had a new card in the mail.
Ask HN: New boss I respect, same company. Should I stay?
I joined my current employer just over four years ago, and was told that I'd be hired as a Senior Dev then promoted to a Director when the department was reorganized, within 90 days.

During my few months as a (presumed) Director, I'd tried to hire some new developers, some who were highly qualified. All were rejected by the VP for reasons I was never able to pin down exactly. It's probably my fault for not "going to bat" for the hires I wanted, but I was trying to be sensitive to the culture of the new company.

When the reorg came, I was told I was more of a "Software Architect" and not given the position of Director. Two other long-time employees were promoted to Director. I reported to one of them.

The same VP very publicly presented to the board of directors shortly after I'd arrived that we'd have a complete rewrite of our application within ten months, against my advice. In the meantime, anticipating a complete failure to deliver anything at all, I found a way to update the look and feel of the existing application while slowly replacing views. The actual delivery time was around four years (there were numerous "shiny things" distractions). Senior management didn't seem to care, and there were no repercussions for the VP.

There is much, much more.

Now a newer (one year plus) employee has been given the Director role I'd originally been slated for. I have great respect for this person, and our VP and Directors actually seem to listen to them. This Director is asking me to consider an actual role as architect, within the next few months.

My question is: Given the experience I've had so far, should I stick around? I already feel like I've "sunk costs" on this one for way to long. I have little to no trust the VP or legacy Directors, and there are no other employees who have an Architect role. While I do respect my new boss, I'm concerned that my new role will be essentially a "lame duck" position. And the job market is very hot right now.
OP could have Googled it with less effort than it took to write his whiny comment.
The workers were not given any protective gear, these were mainly homeless workers. So, no, I think that it's exploitation. If they had been protected from the radiation, and then got exposed I would agree with you.
> I do still think it's worthwhile for us to have the conversation about growth rate regardless of what we could handle in the long run.

Of course, good to point out. I would call this a scientific discussion. Not that we necessarily only need to have this conversation on scientific conferences and the like but keeping it scientific as much as possible is the extent to which such a discussion is useful, in my opinion.
Hmm, I don't have the latest figures on 4k TV market penetration, but I think we can all agree 1080p is still the standard.

Taking this into consideration, and the current generation of consoles, maybe the question should be : does the GPU need to be at the level of a GTX 1060, with all the costs it has?

The bulk of PC Gamers are playing Fortnite, League of Legends, so I don't see the part of "Big name game" at 4k maximum settings being the major share - now one thing I will agree, they are the share with the highest profit margin, and that is where AMD takes blows from NVIDIA - NVIDIA marginal upper hand performance in mid-to-high-end GPUs takes high margin consumers from AMD.

To stay it's not AMD strong suit its kind of ... meh... it's either NVIDIA or AMD. Those are the players. Intel, PowerVR, whatever, are not even in the same game.

If you said "That's not AMD competitive advantage" I would agree - it's a major selling point, but to say they're not strong in high-end GPUs is undermining their technology.

Making a rough generalization, and not undermining NVIDIA work and tech, but in the gaming market, NVIDIA greatest win is the marketing arguments.

Do you have examples of such proper landfill, as well as their cost vs capacity? It sounds awfully expensive for a trash stock pile.
It's "Open source". That's the whole point of open sourcing code. As long as the lab attached the license provided it's good. This is completely different than copying code from private internal repositories.
Their post is more ad hominem cynicism than reasoned critique.
No - it is the gains that are taxed to pay for the losses. Traders who won will have slightly smaller rewards. This is actually better solution than the traditional way of forcing the losers to cover the whole loss. When you make a position there you make slightly different bet then on traditional exchanges - but the system is more stable this way.
This is an unfinished demo from a while back, but I made vector and raster map tiles in a WGS84 projection, so McMurdo is included — though you have to find it yourself [1]

I'm unlikely to work on the globe, it's cool[2] but we don't really need it. Maybe when OpenLayers Cesium[3] gets support for vector tiles, so we don't have to see fuzzy, distorted raster tiles.

The real point I always see when looking at the problem is Packaging.

Packaging should be required to be as literally minimal as actually possible, consuming the least amount of resources in every phase of the lifecycle as possible.

Excessive packaging should be as illegal as it is immoral and anti-environmental.

Inks, Paper, Plastic, Wraps, Ties, ALL of it should be as eliminated as possible.

Think of the time, energy, resources (power, fuel, transport, machinery, engineering etc) all that has been put into the creation of waste.
>Also, landfills are able to capture and sell the methane produced from paper as it decomposes, so it makes a lot more economical and environmental sense to just throw it away.

The price of natural gas has plummeted due to fracking. So much so, that nowadays it is often more economical for drillers to burn the methane off than to build the infrastructure to sell it. I expect the same economics apply to landfills. Plus, methane is 25x as potent as CO2 as a greenhouse gas (hence why it is better to burn methane than release it), so if capturing methane from landfills is at all less than perfect, decomposing paper products are still a significant environmental liability, not to mention an explosion risk. And that's just for paper, one of the most benign things you can throw away...
Sure, this seems reasonable. But this wasn't around radioactive material, it was just trash burners to make electricity. Consider the ramifications of what that means.

Also, they weren't given any protective gear, so what use is a badge saying you've been over exposed if it's guaranteed everyone will eventually hit the limit?
