That works well if your brain is specialized correctly to actually keep track of all this. During my undergraduate, I personally was semi-regularly accosted by strangers who knew me and, only after at least half a minute's conversation, I finally recognized as not-strangers. I don't handle people well (but computers are far easier to debug), so the more of it I can offload externally so that I can focus my brain on what really matters, the better. Comparative advantage.
I suspect you're wrong.
Clean water is fairly distinct from climate change. Greenhouse gasses are mostly harmless aside from their warming effect, and the stuff that makes air and water unhealthy doesn’t warm the planet.

Sometimes these two things go together, such as when replacing coal power plants with renewables. But sometimes they’re in opposition. For example, the Volkswagen emissions scandal was that they increased particulate pollution in order to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. In diesel engines, there’s a tradeoff between CO2 emissions and other emissions.
Well, until someone can find the actual reason (which apparently Twitter isn’t giving) then we’re all just speculating.
I'm pretty sure this little accident happened as a result of a trap street near where I used to live:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-22158829

The 'trap' was that on google maps it was made to look like a regular street when it clearly wasn't.
For 100GB of important data I'd be willing to buy an extra hard drive.

When doing 3-5 day water fasts, I don't do much work from the 2nd day. If you're doing the 12-16 hour kind of fast, then stopping food intake at around 4 pm doesn't affect the work day.

I get tired when doing alternate day fasting (alternating the on-off switch at around 4 pm), but can still work.

The torrent download sounds like a great application for this -- hopefully it can take some strain off your servers as well. Linux distributions mostly do this. Only thing is how you want to deal with updates to the dataset.
Following that link I learned about an ICO and then had some marketing content. Honestly I wanted to learn from the link “how” you were going to change things- maybe technical content?- instead I got this flashback when a bunch of years ago you would see these land pages of gurus selling you books about how they got rich online...
Erm, VW, decreased particulate emissions during testing in order to pass the testing and have the vehicles be higher powered (and more polluting) under normal use. They did it to sell cars and make profit; they weren't doing it to save the planet.
Would using defer instead of async fix this issue? The latter allows the page to continue parsing, but will still run as soon as it's loaded (possibly before the rest of the page is parsed). The latter always waits until the page is fully loaded before running.
I personally find human drivers even scarier. Our society pushes us to multitask and paradoxically we need to stop multitasking while driving (ie avoid texting/phone calls/ etc...).

In a not-so-distant future, kids will be flabbergasted to hear humans used to be the one driving on roads.
In fairness one "random DevOps dude" might be equally capable and less expensive for your infrastructure. Generally speaking any software company can succeed without a cloud provider's infrastructure, it's just a matter of cost and developing that competency in-house. There are many site reliability engineers who specialize in high availability and downtime resolution on baremetal hardware. StackExchange notably has this competency internally.

To me, WeWork seems like a business model that works great when the economy is growing and terribly when the economy is shrinking.

I assume the the draw of selling a 10-20 year lease is that it mitigates the business cycle risk for the property owner (there are other advantages but this would seem to be the main one). This allows the building owner to cut prices for the long-term lease relative to a short-term one.

Thus, when the economy is booming and businesses need space, WeWork looks fantastic--real estate arbitrage! ... And then when the economy goes into a recession, WeWork is stuck with a long-term lease that you can't exit and a dearth of subtenants that destroys your revenue stream.

WeWork has only experienced the former on its short life so far. I'm interested to see how it manages the latter.
Er, they communicate numbers thru language though. Whether someone can come up with the idea of abacus without a language for numbers is an open question, I think.
That must be American Exceptionalism. Wow.
Why is that? Did I say everyone had to adopt it? You don't think there's value in someone in a low-income situation being able to experiment with and use a full development experience without having to upfront invest in computing power?

Have you tried any of this tooling? It's hard to notice that I'm not in VS Code at times. I'd be curious what you find so dystopic.

Probably referred to Windows CE 4.1. But not encouraging given that this is their writer focusing on the cybers.

And yes, it's important to be precise when you're reporting on something. It's the details that make the story. What happened if he said "Windows 4.0"? Would people think Windows CE 4.0 (supported until 2012) or Windows NT 4.0 (out of support for well over a decade).
You're getting downvoted, probably because you're bringing politics into a political issue, and generalizing when clearly there are many educated republicans who believe in climate change, maybe more than there are climate change deniers. But you also raise a fair point, how many democrat climate change deniers are there? A very rare species indeed. Bottom line, identity politics suck!
> Solitude is normally something you choose while loneliness is a product of circumstance

Suicide is also something people choose. Being killed is something that happens to them.

If a person suicides to not be torced and then killed my the enemies. How is that different from choosing soltitude over loneliness?
Because you cannot commit voter fraud nearly as easily with Voter ID, and a disturbing portion of the nation and establishment media (and their purse holders) will tell you literally anything that can stick to the wall in an attempt to continue to hijack the nation.

It is horrendously racist to claim that any race is "incapable" to be able to get an ID, and the math doesn't work out in its favor anyway. But it's the current argument du jour that allows the power to be removed from the people, so it continues to play.

Anything else discussed in this thread with respect to the lack of American voter ID is just avoiding these facts. If the people want to take this nation back, they must pass voter ID and vote out (if they possibly can) those who oppose it.

Nearley is amazing. The authors even implemented Joop Leo's optimization. If the other published optimizations were implemented as well, Nearley would probably become the Earley parser implementation. There is an issue suggesting this but it's marked as wontfix.
Ok... so if I’m getting the idea here... C is more limited, but also dangerous because it gives direct access to memory and pointers making it dangerous.

Man... to listen to hackernews tell it... no one should use C!

I wonder how many comments describing how bad C is are from people on Linux machines?

I really don't understand what the media is trying to accomplish by pushing this narrative. This fear mongering will create distrust in elections and the election results, undermining democracy.

Why would you think that Turkey would retaliate against Trump's tweets by taking down reddit and GNU.org? I don't think that the Turkish government has nearly enough technical knowledge to pull of something like that. That is the problem with Turkey right now, it seems to me that the government doesn't want to work with qualified people.
As that argument's name suggests, that's invoking a shell (or whatever the `shell` env var is set to, IIRC).

Shells are excellent at invoking commands and piping, as I said.

Doing things like piping with Python instead of a shell is indeed more complicated than it needs to be. That was my point ;)
> We can completely ignore the fact that over the years the average location of all the contributing stations has moved slightly northward to colder territory[.]

Woah, that's not something I'd considered. Are weather stations that contribute to NOAA operated by the volunteer public, kind of like Weather Underground? Either way, that's pretty interesting that there's a distinct northward migration in at least one "demographic."
I recently switched from Pocket to Instapaper. Instapaper is more stable without a doubt. When I used the pocket app on my phone, MULTIPLE PHONES/TABLETS (at least 5), I would get stuck in home screen loops that I was unable to exit out of without rebooting. I tried contacting their support but they were not effective. When it works, it was my favorite app. I got top %5 reader awards from them 3 years in a row.

I would have gladly paid for a premium edition but their lack of support, victim blaming, and passive aggressive responses to features I suggested left me with a bad taste in my mouth. So far, Instapaper is everything I was hoping pocket to be. The text to speech feature actually works, it's stable, and the interface is much cleaner and easier to use.

I don't usually write yelp tier reviews like this on HN but I figured I would express myself just in case someone has the same sentiment as me (they should immediately switch to Instapaper).

It is night and day in terms of quality.
> ...figuring it out for herself.

Fixed that for you.
Isn't this doing the opposite by showing how one can play tricks with various time windows and such. The exact kind of stuff deniers would do to "prove" their point.
If I encourage you to murder someone, and you do it, I'm party to murder. If I don't care about you either way and you murder someone, I'm not party to murder.

The result is the same (you murdered somebody), but it very much matters if and how I was involved.

> in a country with a bias towards savings

that's a myth that keeps being persisted, much like their consistent 6-7% gdp growth every year.

if you read the article, it mentions that 'He and his family had invested 7 million yuan - their life savings'.

"The Myth Of China's 'Excess Savings' Is Weighed Down By Excessive Debt. Bank balances offset against enormous, rapidly rising, bad debts, a property bubble out of all contact with reality, a closed capital account to prevent money draining overseas while it still can, and an unregulated shadow banking sector where vast pools of notional value endlessly gyrate on air currents of uncertain origin"

https://www.forbes.com/sites/douglasbulloch/2017/04/26/the-m...

The average Chinese citizens savings have now been engulfed in bitcoin crash, stock market crash, real estate bubble, p2p lending, and gold crash. When money can't leave China because of capital controls for average citizens, money goes into a risky bubble (otherwise it gets eaten away by inflation).

The biggest bubble, China's real estate, which has "$202 per square foot. That's 38 percent higher than the median price per square foot in the U.S., where per-capita income is more than 700 percent higher than in China." https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-06-24/why-china..., is at a dangerous size. And it could be bursted by any external factors: Trump's threat to tax $500B Chinese imports, manufacturers hastened exist from China, Fed raises the interest rate a few more times, faster capital outflow from China, one of the emerging market's collapse, one of the more indebted private firm collapses, triggering a wave of collection, etc.
The population in the west is already declining. Life extension would probably be beneficial and make the birthday decline even further.

The alternative to cryonics is total destruction of the human body with no possibility of being brought back. When given the choice between no chance at all and a chance, no matter how remote, of survival, picking the latter is the most rational approach (assuming your goal is not to die, of course).

You seem to be under the misconception that cryonics promises bringing you back to life. It does not. It simply preserves your body, in the hope that future technology will be able to do that.

What makes it a fad diet? All it says is to cut out second helpings, empty carbs and snacks. That's it.

It doesn't try to set up weird rules or "superfoods". It's simple and straight-forward, which makes it much easier to adhere to. It's not a diet, it's a permanent lifestyle change.
They did it to meet fuel economy numbers. CO2 emitted scales pretty much with fuel burned.

We really need to do something now! The summer has been un-fucking-believably hot. Climate change is not something that will happen in the "future" -- we have to avoid a global ecosystem collapse in the next 10-15 years. :(
The panic and economic damage from just Lehman Brothers failing shows that the fear was reasonable.

Finance is as important as energy, communications and food to the global economy.

I think the key is just making sure the bail out hurts nearly as much as actual bankruptcy.

The edge, as used most often in my experience, is the entry point that connects the public and private internet. It rarely has anything to do with location (in almost all cases it's implied the edge is regionalized to be the closest data center to the target).

For AWS: a Lambda at the edge, for example, may be a Lambda behind an API Gateway that acts as the public entrypoint into infrastructure behind a VPC. That Lambda is at the edge.

Nice! I hacked something together to do this 12-odd years ago. I had something to save the pages I visit to folder, and then a desktop search tool dtSearch that I bought to index them. It was invaluable when I really needed it, but too awkward to be really useful. Often it ended up being easier to find the page again with Google if I remembered something unique about it.

This extension looks like it could finally make it convenient enough to be more commonly useful, and privacy focused enough that I'm willing to try it. Great work! Are you planning to charge something for this in the future, or for extra features? I would definitely be willing to pay for it.

The Greenspan put was an expectation from the '80s into the Great Recession: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspan_put

The problem is that not bailing out may have been more painful than anything involved. The only US guide for this was when Hoover let the banks go into free-fall in 1929, which didn't get resolved until Roosevelt stabilized them in 1933. Are we willing to pay the price to do the right thing?

Editorial control is about capability of checking and filtering others' content, not your own.

Platforms can also use their own products (ISPs themselves use internet or Amazon also uses AWS).

Platforms are shielded by CDA exactly because they do not care about the content that goes through it. The moment you demonstrate that you have the capability and intent to filter, you will get responsible for doing so.

So no, they still are not both. By editorializing others' content, the CDA protections are void.
That graph is...questionable. The entire Y axis only covers 55 kilometers. I’m sure the NOAA has more principled ways of accounting for station movement.
Intel is working on chiplets connected by EMIB, but it's not clear whether they would be cheaper than a monolithic die. Intel's ring and mesh interconnects with shared L3 cache have far better performance than AMD's CCX+crossbar arrangement so there's no reason for them to go backwards.
Bayesian attempts to give probability empirical meaning [do not] make sense in these types of one off situations, though.

I agreed with your comment until this. What do you mean?
It seems to me to be a continuation of the pattern of labor 'Going Postal' in the labor hostile environment that has emerged since Reagan.

This should be a wake-up call to everyone in the country. We can't survive without being able to trust and respect each other as human beings. Part of that is recognizing that even the most humble occupations deserve a fair wage and chance at advancement in life.

If we can't respect the people who put in 8 hour days on our behalf and fulfill our obligations to them as responsible business owners/organizers, we are doomed to see repeats of this type of tragedy.

People seek purpose, and many are content to do even the more "mundane" jobs so long as the compensation is fair. Too many places seek to be successful on Wall Street's terms rather than in providing a service to their community.

I'm sure an MBA will surface and tell me I'm wrong, but I've not encountered a workplace that didn't marginalize their workers and generated a tragedy of the likes that has become a hallmark of the last 50 years.

That last one is not denialism (maybe defeatism) and from my vantage point isn't too far from reality. I have yet to see any realistic proposed solution(s) to climate change.
The US was allowed a crash at least. As for how much we will pay for low interest rates later, I'm sure it will be something bad in the next crash.

China has kept pumping up its bubble unreasonably so since the mid-2000s. It has a third-world problem compared to the USA's first-world one.
Politics aside, I'm aware of precisely one prominent organization in the world that promotes climate change denial.
After searching my history for years using the awesomebar, I am pretty confident Firefox also keeps track of the queries themselves, and the choice you make in relation to the query.

Say there's two websites I visit regularly with similar names? If I usually load one after typing three characters, but load the other one after typing four characters, Firefox will present the former first in the first case, and the latter first in the second case.
I agree with this being a valuable heuristic. Not for whether or not the food tastes delicious in terms of seasoning or flavor, but are they moving product. It’s easier to think of it in terms of a butcher shop. You don’t want to buy meat from a butcher shop that gets few customers (yes exceptions for boutique expensive butcher shops). You want the busiest butcher shop you can find that meets your other parameters. It’s only one factor, but I consider it a rather important one.

I’ve seen too many episodes of Kitchen Nightmares and similar shows to take a chance on a low volume restaurant that isn’t low volume due to an intentional design decision.

The problem is that China's economy is based on keeping the genie in the bottle. The moment they let it out, all hell will break loose, and it'll be 1998 all over again.
Honestly? Because decentralized social networks are usually implemented by people who have an inaccurate mental model of what the population at large wants in a social network. There's a lot of noise online about how this feature or that feature is addictive tracking-based anti-civilization satancode or something, but outside a loud and hardcore fringe, users actually want this stuff. Good feed ranking depends, for example, on building accurate models of user preferences.

If you listen to the loud fringe, you'll end up with a product only the fringe wants to use.
