>> The worst culprit for many people I know is flying. You can eat a lot of meat for the emissions of just one long-haul flight. (Which is sad because flying is great.)

And yet the total CO2 contribution of the world-wide aviation industry is 'only' 2%.

Based on that chart I would say having (more) children is by far the worst culprit. By now I'm really 100% convinced that the only way to save the earth is if everyone everywhere around the globe stops getting more than 2 children per couple, preferably not more than 1, so the world's population can shrink down back to somewhere around 1/10th of what it is now.

I'm 100% serious about this, and it makes me sad and angry nobody is actually really talking about this. Nothing we can do like eating less meat or skipping a holiday will help if the world's population doesn't shrink by a significant factor. It's a very unpopular opinion to have, because everyone likes children, they are the future, they are god's gift, it's a human right to make babies, bla bla, etc. But reduced to cold hard facts, there are simply way.too.many.people.

Yes I know this would absolutely kill our debt-based economies and probably significantly reduce the standard of living in many places, at least in the short-to-medium term, but that's a different topic. Completely destroying the earth will have much worse effect on the economy and standard of living anyway.

And despite this, YouTube thinks that even their incredibly sophisticated rights management system is too lenient to comply with Article 13 and not be subject to immense damages.
That's a funny take, considering my experience. I know some email servers are slow, of course, but they don't have to be. When I worked on Gmail, the majority of Gmail-to-Gmail messages were delivered in under a second, and not because they have a special internal protocol; even such internal messages are sent over SMTP. But Gchat was never that fast. 1 second was considered fast delivery by Gchat but it was long tail slow for Gmail.

Show HN: Routable – Simplest B2B Payments
If you keep spreading that last quote, eventually a Tibetan monk will read it and repeat it, and it’ll no longer be fake.
Hi HN!

I'm one of the creators of Routable, and I’m very excited to be posting here for the first time.

For the past year or so we’ve been laying low, working with and listening to our beta customers. This week marks the first time we’ve shared our platform with the world.

In short, Routable is a simple way for companies to send B2B payments (e.g. bill payments and invoices). We work with different providers to give your company flexible payment options without the worry of having to negotiate the rates yourself or having to think about building the integrations.

We decided to build this product after my co-founder and I built payment systems in-house at the companies we previously worked at. After conducting 300+ customer development interviews, we knew that this was a pain point for companies small and large.

When we show Routable to people, they often think “oh this looks like a modern version of my bank’s bill pay portal.” It’s a good comparison - but we do so much more. We really focus on our strong integrations with your accounting software and making B2B payments scalable.
Would love to hear your thoughts. :)

If you want to know how it all works, I’m happy to show a demo -- just give me a shout!

No, it's a client that uses your email account for purposes involving reading and sending email. Exactly like Thunderbird, or Evolution Mail, or Outlook, or Android Mail, or iOS Mail or countless other clients that have full access to your email client by design, and without issue.

People generally take issue with handing over access to their email account to third party services. People don't generally take issue with a client under your control accessing an account under your control.

Exactly. Also unlike C++, allocation is nearly free on the JVM, and garbage collection is cheap for short-lived ones.

No, not unless you allow user uploads from other users.
Probably not. I requires a memory allocation the size of the file for parsing.

However they have the ability to build a tape out of the json and find the interesting marks. Perhaps it can be adapted to make a fast parser than only parses the relevant stuff but zooms through the large file in blocks.
Reversing a Black Desert Online Dump: Restoring IAT with IDAPython and Flirt
Venice is actually perfect for making it hard to reach. Give inhabitants of the island a special permit that allows them to use the only bridge freely. Everyone else has to obtain the permit (which is a highly bureaucratic procedure) or literally swim there (boats also have to obtain the permit to use the piers).
Fair enough, though for what it's worth, I'm not interested in making an HN app that would make it super-smooth, pretty, and compulsively browseable, but rather a couple of power tools to make it easier to participate in and track discussions, and to enable a bit of a "batched, offline" experience.
You will be able to chat via email even if the IMAP backend does not (yet) support COI. You lose features, though.
True but huge caveat: their idea of success and the founder’s idea of success may differ wildly. If a modest exit makes the founder a few million and the VC just gets a single digit multiple, that’s not the kind of success they’re going to gravitate towards in their analysis. They may not label it a failure but they won’t be trying to identify how to replicate more of those, even if it will have changed the founder’s life and family for generations.

Great! Good luck to them.
Same. I've been using the Philips Wake-Up Light (HF3520) which simulates a gentle gradual sunrise for the past 2 years.

The main benefit I've noticed that it doesn't matter what season it is, the sun always rises at the same time, which makes for a happier circadian rhythm (for me at least).

(I live in the northern U.S where there are long winters and daylight saving is observed, which makes for variable sunrise times over the course of the year)

I don't use the alarm feature though -- my phone is my alarm.
The argument against this is that founding a startup, when factoring in the incredibly low success rate, may not be the best strategy to gain money. Joining an early stage startup (with equity) that's clearly on a growth path, or even working for a Google, Facebook, etc. is a much better bet for making money.

Also, startups, where startup means creating a new unproven solution intended to achieve exponential growth, are unfathomably hard. It's hard (in my experience) to stay motivated in the face of startup hardships when one's primary objective is money.
Would decentralized platforms be liable? Something like Mastodon still requires a host, so I assume the host would be expected to meet these standards. I suppose you could have shift towards human-curated platforms rather than platforms operating at scale.
We actually do get 60fps, but JSON parsing on the Swift side takes more than its share of total CPU load, affecting power consumption among other things. So (partly to address the trolls elsewhere in the thread), the choice of JSON does not preclude fast implementation (as the existence of simdjson proves), but it does make it dependent on the language having a performant JSON implementation. I made the assumption that this would be the case, and for Swift it isn't.

i did not see the clause that excluded people that did not grew in India.

Every time you take one label and you apply it to a large group of people that have something in common you have the potential to be labeled yourself as racist. IMHO that’s the definition of racism: you take a negative attribute and you map it to a class of people. usually you also imply that you/we are better than them.

here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

“prejudice against people based on their ethnicity”

i may have an idiosyncratic definition of racism or we may have different understandings but this definitely crosses the line.

if the claim was made that the guy’s manager is so and so, we would have left it at that. but the claim was targeted at all managers that are indian. that’s fucked up.
I went there in Sept 2017 and there were only a handful of people on the beach. I'm not sure how you restrict these places when you can pay a sailor $50 USD to take you to all of these places for the day. Overcrowded beaches are not a bad thing just have some sort of maintenance budget

We work with the great Delta Chat community and contribute to it. COI will enhance IMAP and the email formats for clients like DC to be able to provide more robust real-time chat and channel functionality and to make implementation of chat clients on email easier.
Yup. We still print out an annual photobook that we spend time making with all our favorite pics/memories from the year and the kids love going through the picture books every so often. There is something very different in the way they experience a physical picture book vs. viewing the images on a tablet/computer.

Ask HN: Company I Work for Is Interested in My Side Project
I've been working on a side project for the past couple of months and the company I work for is interested in probably building it out as a product that we can sell.

Since it's something that I have been building out on my free time, what are some precautions I should take to ensure that I keep a major ownership in the project and don't get sidewinded by the company? I don't think they would do that, but I've heard horror stories in the past.

> Freedom of speech is as protected in the EU as it is in the US, possibly more

It is absolutely not. That's a preposterous assumption. If it was the case then no European state could send people to prison or fine them for having an opinion, yet look at France, where insulting the president is a crime and denying "official" history has landed people in jail (I don't condone either of these, it's just about principle).

There is absolutely no equivalent to the US first amendment anywhere else on the planet.
>Maybe this will revitalize hosting of personal websites where there’s no “platform” to censor your free speech?

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland you are required to disclose your full name, address, telephone number and more if you publish a personal website. This makes it impossible to keep a personal and anonymous website.

That is why having platforms is important.

That's clearly a major impediment.

This is, more or less, the present and future of the EU on all matters. They are now trying to raise a supranational army (try to imagine what legitimate purpose that could have). They encourage member states to suppress political dissent, and wield power spitefully against those who oppose them (see all of the various cruel and malicious acts and positions EU leaders take against Britain for deigning to resist the expansion of EU powers).

The goal is quite clearly a Germanic empire ruling Europe, just a bit late because they had to pivot from their first approach.

Lessons from 20 Data Science Teams
Based on who's interpretation?

Civil actions by civilly-minded people has ranged throughout history, from the early alliances of warring Greek states, to the dogmatic ethics of religion, to the Enlightenment's person-centered morality and identity.

As you're familiar with Japan, you must know how in WWII the American population was shocked into supporting the war by stories of Japanese 'savages' cutting off heads of their victims - even though the Guillotine and hanging was seen as the more 'civil' form of execution by Westerners for centuries before. Today, if you use a cell phone on a train in Japan, literally everyone around you will leap towards you to scold you for using your phone - good luck getting that reaction in NYC.

Civility is nuanced and multifaceted, and it's hard to tell at any given time what all people consider 'civil'. My main point was, to that guy lecturing about bottled water, he probably thought he was being very civil.
I feel like headline bickering is endless.

But I also think there is a lot of difference between even draconian copyright laws.... and China, Russia, Venezuela....

Looks like native COI compatibility on the server makes life easier for a client, and adds advanced features as opposed to restricting some servers from the party:

>"A COI client should check for COI support from the server first. it will CAPABILITY after having logged into the IMAP service. If the returned capabilities list contains the "COI" capability, then the client does not need to filter messages on the client side. It will also have more advanced options at its disposal, see the server side specifications for details."

The requirements are just an IMAP (or JMAP) server that conforms to the IMAP RFC:

>"The IMAP server may or may not be COI-compatible. The IMAP service MUST be compatible with IMAP v4rev1 as defined in RFC 3501, which is the case for almost any IMAP service in production."
An SMTP service for sending messages. Sending services are also called Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs)."
Yes some cancer centers do this for some cancers. Some also send out to Foundation medicine I believe. Foundation has their own specific panels which may be different than the cancer center etc...

(Nice name)

The thing is, though, for many business models being able to accurately estimate time and cost is critical, and so is executing vs. that estimate.

It's nice to be able to say "I have no idea how long this will take," but it's also a luxury not available to many (most?) developers.
It's not fully charcoal (fully carbonized). Wood is mostly two compounds: cellulose and lignin. They undergo thermal decomposition at different temperatures. By partially burning the exterior, you decompose the cellulose, and when you attempt to set it on fire again, it's harder to light, because you no longer have the cellulose decomposition to provide fuel, but have to get to a higher temperature for the lignin to decompose.

It's charred, but not charcoal. And yes, mostly it just makes the ignition temperature go up. But that's half the battle for fireproofing. You're mostly not trying to stop it from ever burning, but giving people enough time to evacuate, or the firefighters to put it out with water.
There is no harm that I am aware of - but it may not be considered necessary depending on the source. For example, some insurance providers will only reimburse after you're at a certain stage. I can tell you that if I or someone I love was diagnosed, I would get CGP immediately. Potentially avoiding a round of chemo that probably wouldn't even work... that's worth it to me.

Right, that's what you think. Are you buying a house that's $1 million dollars? Are you paying $80,000 in taxes? Are you paying $2400 a month for daycare bills? Are you paying thousands for health care insurance? Are you paying $250 for car registration? Or another $1000+ for car insurance or transportation? There's a big SV envy going on from those in tech outside of SV, when one reads about the high salary they command over there, their expense is likewise accordingly.

I also think the stigma is GENERALLY true. The average 10yr software engineer from Phillipines is not going to be anywhere as good as the average software engineer in the Bay with 10yrs experience at these companies that pay good. Sure, there are exceptions, but we are talking about the average. Heck, the average 10yr software engineer in the US outside of the major tech cities can't keep up either. There's a reason most of the innovation and tools you are using are coming out from that side of the world. :-)

It's a problem that's been recognized in medicine for a very long time. That's why formal definitions of terms like disease and disorder usually aren't based solely on variation, and include a requirement that something actually interferes with a person's ability to function.
