I would say that it depends in many factors. It could be that a single wealthy person in a city in USA consumes and produces waste as a family of 10 in a rural area in Africa. Thus seems that there are plenty of other ways to diminish your impact.
As a vendor you can add a license / subscription for your stack in your 1-Click App image. Some vendors –such as Plesk and cPanel– are already doing this today. We plan to make this easier for both you and your users this year with direct billing.
I agree that having companies owned by smaller numbers of people (and having more of them be privately owned) would help, yes. However, that's also subject to the free market. Right now the free market appears to be producing lots of IPOs driven by the needs of venture capital. I hope that's a temporary phenomenon that will correct eventually.
Sorry, you kidding on HN? : Running a downloaded bash script of 47-lines just to add 2 Lines into “/etc/tor/torrc”?? What type od skript-kiddie would do this?

1. Takes more time to download and use this than editing /etc/tor/torrc manualy:)

2. What if I run it twice?

3. Will fail to work on Fedora, Arch, Gentoo , BSDs, MacOS ;)

4. Would’t be simpler to explain how Tor/Socks/Onion/HiddenService/Routing and “torrc” works in less than 47 lines??? :)

5. No explanation of what it does... and why....

Quite funny post. I think it’s just a “gist” for one person.
paying $9.7 million to adjust pay for 10,677 employees

So an average of $908? That sort of rounding error pay adjustment isn't really what people are discussing when the topic of unfair pay comes up.
But k8s does live inside third party. And then there's stuff like tensorflow, where the source of truth is in the monorepo, but PRs via github are accepted and merged in.

I used to work in financial and it's pretty easy to get frozen in time technology-wise.

It would do some good to learn modern CICD. Take a look at CircleCI and see if you can wrap your head around it. These days the tolerance for a developer that can't build/deploy their own code is getting low.

Also while it's a good idea to learn Docker/Kubernetes, its primary use-case will become making older applications easier to manage on cloud providers. The demand for people who know Kubernetes is still increasing however the skillset is becoming a commodity.

The current trajectory for new development work is leaning towards solutions like App Engine and other cloud-specific solutions. As a python developer I'd pick up any python-centric offering from AWS and GCP and make a weekend project out of it.

Think there is a different explanation depending on the country. In China, for instance, production is usually ramped up in the months leading up to Lunar New Year which occurs in Jan/Feb.
See here for an example: https://gitian.org/. As I understand it's used to build a (the?) Bitcoin client.
Conquest is anachronistic.

The decline of agriculture as a proportion of the economy of advanced nations means that territory no longer has the value that it once did. Population is not as important as it used to be for military power. Physical capital (factories, labour, land) is now less valuable, certainly in the developed world, than human capital (education, skills, networks). This means the gains of conquest have reduced drastically.

Meanwhile, the costs of war have increased markedly.
Only a small group of states can afford to build technologically competitive militaries. Nuclear war has made the cost of great power war mutual annihalation. Modern low intensity warfare, on the other hand, makes it extremely difficult for great powers to permanently occupy even small powers (e.g. the US in Vietnam, USSR in Afghanistan). This means that the costs far outweigh the benefits in almost all circumstances. Add to this that in the counterfactual, states can gain most of the economic benefits of war through peaceful means, i.e. trade, at a far lower cost. There's also simply a greater spread of uncertainty in war: it's a dictum of war studies that war is inherently unpredictable.

If international war breaks out in the near future, it will be a fight over global hegemony (US-China), regional hegemony (Iran-Saudi Arabia), revanchism (Russia, Taiwan), or most likely - by accident.
Agree but pomodoro is a good way to get into DW. The truth is most of us are actually not able to focus on a single task for an hour or two. There’s such a thing as an attention muscle. Pomodoro helps with that by starting at 25 mins with a break.
I took this as his key point:

> Instead, we see a thriving software industry that largely
ignores research, and a research community that writes papers
rather than software.

Although, from the rest of the slides, he also laments a lack of research, he is (was?) disappointed that research didn't end up in the market like it used to. I've certainly read papers that claim to solve a problem I have, but been unable to apply them, because I really need software and not a paper (or because the software works for exactly the example data and nothing else).

Research that produces another layer of abstraction is unlikely to be super useful. Research that produces different layers might be. Rob wanted to see whole operating systems and cool demos, but I'm happy to see things like data structure and locking changes in tcp stacks that allow for significantly better multicore performance. (That's unfortunately likely to go away with MPTCP or QUIC style TCP over multiple in time UDP sockets --- making that perform well is a good target of research too)
That sounds like the compiler vs interpreter flamewar, rather than the strong vs weak or static vs dynamic typing flamewars ;) Is there a Scala interpreter to compare performance against?

I've not used Scala much, but I know that while Haskell's de facto implementation is the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, there are also (unmaintained) interpreters like HUGS, so compilation isn't a necessity.

Plus there's the whole spectrum of Futamura projections, JITs, etc. ;)
It gives access to your name, email and profile picture (if you have one). I don't consider it any different than if the same was asked with a signup form.

Having implemented Google Logins in the past, I always choose that option on sites I see: The site doesn't need to store any kind of password for you. This site also appears to be using the new Google "Cross Account Protection" feature, which will for example automatically log you out of the third party site if you report to Google that your account is compromised.

What is your point? In a swapping scenario the same would apply.

Plenty of people sell on secondary markets. If everyone was restricted then those businesses wouldn't exist.
It’s a rhetorical question.
In reality, a liberal bribing policy to get business done, to protect profits and increase margins, along with a solid policy to push wages down and reduce the workforce is what's best for every country... at least for the ones who pull the strings in said country.
I have a wonderful thing that Creative used to make, now discontinued I believe. It consists of a USB dongle that appears as a pair of USB stereo speakers to the computer but is actually a radio transmitter, and a matching receiver unit that has stereo line level outputs.

No need for any special drivers, or any special support on the part of music player apps. As long as whatever the player is running on knows how to use USB speakers, I can get the sound to end up at my A/V receiver.

I don't know why this approach was not more popular.
That would take extra calories, that's where the balance is

What needs clarification? The article’s title and content make it quite clear it is about compensation for the same role.
This is actually an annoying challenge of reproducible builds. In many cases it is actually useful to have a build timestamp, git sha, or build number available for debug output from the program. I've often gone as far as embedding a sha and/or timestamp into a file on export into a tgz which allows it to be reproducible from the tarfile, although builds directly out of source control would not be.
It may not, if any such system is very energetically taxing, or would confer a host of other issues. Such a system would, downsides taken into account, have to confer a net advantage. It may be that sleep in some form is best system with the fewest downsides.
AIDS cannot be forgotten or ignored, even once a cure is discovered and is effective. AIDS wiped out an entire generation of LGBTQ people. It wiped out a generation of artists and creatives. It destroyed so many peoples lives. It would be hugely disrespectful and a dishonor to those people and their memory.

As important as a cure is, and I have a feeling it will happen in our lifetimes, I think the history of what AIDS destroyed is incredibly important. I rarely recommend a TV show, but Pose(on FX) did an incredible job of showing how everyone reacted and dealt with AIDS and death in the early 90's, especially in minority communities. It's truly heartbreaking and as a young LGBTQ person, it's such a stark contrast to how the world views these kinds of things today.
> Okay, not quite. You actually also need to know that the frequency ratios of all pairs of keys n keys apart should be the same, for all n.

We could have made a different second assumption instead, and remembered that not only is the note an octave higher twice the frequency, but also, the note a perfect fifth higher is one-and-a-half times the frequency. Propagating these axioms to tune all the notes would lead to Pythagorean tuning, which has some nicer-sounding intervals but makes playing in certain keys sound bad, since you can't make all n-key intervals exactly the same size.
They’ve been doing that for years though. I remember a NYT article from over a decade ago about the women who sit at computers and look at images of USPS mail all day, every day, trying to interpret hand-written names and addresses.
Side-Chain 2.0 for Dummies
I understand this makes a great headline, but it might be because they don't promote women as quickly as men, leaving the women 'overpaid' compared to the other men at their level.

A better comparison might be to trace the trajectories of men and women who started out in similar jobs and at similar pay levels, and the see how many women appear overpaid.

I bet you won't find too many.
Why would it adjust for that? It's ok to pay H1Bs less? H1B isn't supposed to be cheap labor even though it is often abused.
I don't think this is accurate.

The risk of business failure is similar to the risk of divorce yet people don't consider starting a business a "fiction entirely based on irrational emotions." It's not, just like marriage is not.

And since more unmarried couples split up than married couples, you're actually arguing against romantic relationships entirely.

Using this logic, since you usually lose touch with many friends over the years, why have friends at all then? You're probably going to outlive your pet, so why get a pet at all if it's just going to die?

Just because something ends doesn't mean it wasn't worth it for the time it lasted and even if it wasn't, taking some risk isn't entirely irrational.

If you define the problem as excluding things a large percentage of real-world build systems do by default, then it's not very interesting. The interesting part of Debian's and others work here is making this work with small, unintrusive changes to such systems.
Throwaway of a googler here.
These results could be explained by not promoting women as fast as men, because every year it is expected you will get a CoL and performance based raise if you exceeed expectations for your role, regardless if you exceed enough to convince a promo committee of a level change.

So this could mean that women stay at lower job titles longer.

It could also mean that they sign into the company with higher base salaries. I have seen that maybe happen once in my experience for the same experience level but I have no way of correcting that for their interview performance or how well they negotiated.

Basically I don’t think this data point is super useful on its own.
Are you suggesting that Google's analysis is flawed?

Review of Skunk Works
Old? You're hardly even middle age! Someone who is actually on the later stage of their working life might take issue with you calling yourself old.

I'm sorry that the jobs you've hit up made you feel old, but please keep in mind that that is more a property of the places where you've interviewed rather than a property of you. Plenty of places will have interviewers in their 40s or 50s if that's what you're after. Maybe start looking at more established organizations rather than the nimble upstarts?

It's probably expected that any sysadmin style role knows their way around Python and the other stuff you mention, but nobody is an expert on everything. It's probably more likely that you are priced out rather than skilled out if you've done this for a while. That's not strange in itself. Experience breeds specialization, and the more specialized you are the longer you will have to look.

The answer is never to sell yourself cheap. Find out what your specialization looks like and find someone who might find it valuable.

I always heard that surprisingly they could top China on some days - apparently poor farming practices involving mass burns could make it seasonally extra bad.

Given their reputation of being farming, IT/call centers, and chemical/plastic factories as opposed to heavy industrial China - granted both are more nuanced than the stereotypes because they are nations of over a billion and a third each. If you ask about them having a non-fictional industry the answer is probably yes.
One thing that works many times is to download the deb source package from a newer distro and rebuild it in the desired system.

If there’s no newer package available you can try to reuse the debian directory from the older source package to build from the newer source.

Sometimes this works in the first attempt, but if you need this for a lot of packages, it’ll be a lot of work.

Google employs more men than women. Even if a higher percentage of women are underpaid, we could see a situation where more men get raises in an equalization.
H1Bs at Google do not get paid less.
Well of course it's abused but I would argue that if H1Bs are paid less, they should raise the rates of H1Bs and discourage their use as cheap labor. We shouldn't be adjusting for it in the data here.
Nobody's gonna cure cancer. We'll be able to prevent some cancers and treat others, but cancer is a large number of distinct diseases with different causes and outcomes and you can't eradicate it.

That said you don't need to be good at biochemistry to help treat cancer. The bottleneck in pharma research right now is essentially finding big enough patient groups for clinical trials, I'm sure Javascript can help with that. (And the "best ad minds" of the generation as well). What about tracking habits that may increase cancer rates? Hmmm, Javascript can help with that. What about mapping out locations that have abnormal occurences of cancer due to possible environmental factors so nobody buys a house somewhere the local plant is dumping waste into the nearby water supply? Well, there again...

Also, you can just study biochemistry and become good at it. I did just that. It's perfectly attainable and does not require extraordinary skill.
The future for them is very bleak. The pros/cons of facing it is a hard decision to make. Personally, I'd hate to make that decision for someone else, let alone a person I would end up caring about the most.

This isn't facebook's fault but for me SMS and then social media after I feel as worked the opposite. I maybe keep mildly aware of people I haven't seen in months or year because of social media but close friends I used to call daily or weekly and have long talks. Now it feels like bad manners to call someone which might disrupt their time when I could have messaged, emailed, slacked, tweeted instead. The result is I get/have no talks. Just a few short messages over a week or month.
I think that knowing frequencies and hearing frequencies still leaves one a long way from being able to tweak a string to match that frequency.

Question for piano tuners: Does tuning the piano require multiple iterations? When re-tuning my 12-string to or from an open (where some or all of the strings are tuned to a specific chord) I sometimes have to go back and tweak each string a couple times. I think this is due to the change in stress on the top and neck of the guitar.
There's a big problem with your idea of letting cars drive faster: the drivers.

German drivers are simply not like American drivers. American drivers have almost no training at all, and certainly don't have the training or discipline necessary to drive at Autobahn speeds. American drivers can't even practice proper lane etiquette (staying right except to pass), and really don't understand it.

The last thing American roads need is any assumption that American drivers are remotely like German drivers in ability.

Remember, in America, almost everyone drives because there's no public transit in most places, and even where it exists, it's kinda lousy at best. In Germany, it's perfectly possible to get around without a car, unless you're going to small villages or towns or rural places. Because of this, not all Germans drive! It costs a lot of money to get the private training required to obtain a license there, and driver testing is strict. None of this is true in America.

Finally, if you want bullet trains, build bullet trains. Bullet trains are very safe at speed because they're on rails, and are maintained by professionals on a strict schedule. You don't get that with privately-owned vehicles. And cars are horrifically bad for pollution and fuel economy compared to trains when operating at high speeds. We're spewing way too much carbon into the atmosphere as it is. If you want to move people around faster, you need to build the proper infrastructure for this, like the Japanese have with the Shinkansen.

My understanding is that AWS TimeSync and the current GCP time daemon implementation are the equivalent of TrueTime, is that incorrect?

I guess what I’m saying is it seems like Fauna is using atomic clocks as FUD against Spanner and CockroachDB, when they aren’t really a problem. Based on my reading of the Calvin paper, the main advantage of Calvin style systems is higher throughout under contention. But for some reason the Fauna marketing team has chosen not to emphasize that, which makes me suspicious that maybe Fauna hasn’t yet realized that advantage in its implementation.
