> Anyone who believes that climate change is caused mostly by human activity should be concerned about this trend. The deeply political nature of the conversation has turned what should be a deliberate discussion about science and policy into a shouting match.

The problem isn’t the science as much as the proposed solutions. The more extreme solutions are more about income redistribution rather than actual science. Whether or not climate change is unequivocally human caused, there are those that would use “climate” as a means to enact economic proposals they favor regardless of the climate impact. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-failed-c...

For example, what about nuclear? If we are “serious” about climate change, nuclear is the best choice for large scale electrical production, but nuclear faces opposition from those that scream loudest about the danger of fossil fuels. What about the Paris climate meeting? The local airport was filled to the brim with private jets. To normal people like me, why should I set my thermostat to a higher temperature in summer when my energy use is just a blip compared to some “Climate official’s” own carbon footprint. Why should poor people have to pay a higher percentage of their income for energy taxes while the limousine liberals keendoing their thing? They aren’t personally consuming less or suffering the impact of their proposals. Buying “carbon credits” is a cop out — unless they are actually reducing their own energy consumption, they are still spitting CO2 into the air, no matter how much they pay for the privilege. To me, if the situation were so dire, there’d be a lot less hypocrisy. If the “experts” aren’t flying commercial or video conferencing, then clearly the problem isn’t a grave as they suggest. There is absolutely no rationale for climate officials taking a Gulfstream to a climate conference. The concern over the climate rings hollow compared to the bigger goals of redistributing the means of production.

Al Gore becoming a billionaire because of the climate industry also creates some skepticism since he and other like him have a vested financial interest in propagating his opinions. His Inconvinient Truth movie was full of blatant inaccuracies and the forecast FUD never materialized. We constantly hear things like “in 12 years the world will end” yet, here we are, not too much different than we were in 2000. In fact, it might be argued that the climate changes with or without human intervention. The “settled” science isn’t very settled to me, otherwise the predictions wouldn’t be so consistently wrong. I am loathe to support the attempted destruction of capitalism based on unreliable computer models. Those of us skeptical of climate politics — we live here too. It isn’t like we are genuinely interested in destroying the planet; but some of us don’t have a lot of trust in power that they are actually altruistic. Remember, Eugenics was “settled science” too and we saw how horribly that turned out.

Yes, you got technological advancement, but resources are pretty much down to zero. You are saddled with debt up to your eyeballs. Most of you will never be able to afford a house, if you somehow manage to buy one, you will be paying it off till your last breath. You will have no social blanket, boomers would have plowed through that.
I don't disagree, but this is a simple point and all the math language doesn't really add anything to it.
This is not a very strong argument – if privacy is a protected and regulated right, then it's totally reasonable that your inability to build a business model which meets the requirements of privacy regulations means that your business is no longer viable.

It's kind of like arguing that businesses should be free to dump toxic waste wherever they want, because they can't produce their products at a profit without doing so. They are free to either adjust their business models to compensate, or stop doing business.

The controls exist on many different planes, and their placement requires some muscle memory, such as moving your hand between the steering wheel and the shifter. Each individual interaction in the interface might be constrained to two degrees of freedom, but the interface requires operating on a spatial mental model.
Don’t make excuses to yourself when you know there is a problem with your code. Don’t say “well, it will only fail in these edge cases and I know not to use it that way.” You’ll forget, or someone else will use it the wrong way and it will break. The easiest time to fix it is when you are already working on the code and first notice the problem, not later.
A lot of variables involved. For me Win 10 17134, with an NVidia GTX 960, over displayport to Dell U2417H, I can see the two colors in Chrome and Firefox. I can't see the color difference in Microsoft Edge.
The ICC Profile for the monitor was automatically loaded by Windows. Everything is 32 bit.

I think the ICC profile is the only reason I can see it and it isn't a very strong difference on my monitor.

Edit: When I say 32bit, I mean 8 bit per RGB channel/24 bit "True Color"

For me personally, that works too. If the price points are comparable then I would prefer an offline experience for single player games at least. However, for multi-player games I could imagine some optimizations that could be happening in the cloud giving them an advantage.

Exactly. But the Tesla saga has taught me that the technology sector knows very little about the auto industry.

Ask HN: How to obtain a work visa as a Canadian founder?
Hey all,

I'm cofounding a startup with two other founders. I'm a Canadian citizen and one of the other founders is a US permanent resident.

Is it possible for me to obtain a work visa (TN, H1B etc) so that I can work on the startup while living in the US?

I've read on here that it might be possible when the following conditions are true:

- 3+ founders so that I don't have majority ownership of the company
- Company has revenue
- At least one founder is American

I'm looking for advice on how to make this happen. Preferably by someone that has gone down the same path.
>Possibly your experience in the 3rd richest zip code in the nation isn't generalizable to the rest of the world?

Your experience anywhere in the US isn't generalizable to the rest of the world. Just like your experience in China or South Africa isn't generalizable to the rest of the world. Which is why the parent comment pointed out his location to give some context.

Making a post like that without mentioning the location is absurd and makes things more confusing for everyone.

Obtaining the delta from two different images is actually non trivial. And contrary to what HN thinks, not every problem is trivially solved by machine learning.

Small point aside: an ultrasound scan -- even if it was every feasible at home -- would not be an MRI. MRI means you use the spin echo and relaxation of nucleii (mostly protons for medical MRI). It is not a generic word for "please give me a 3d image". Words have meanings, especially when they are technical jargon, and it is important to not dilute that if we want to be able to communicate efficiently and effectively.

Also: technology that is more mature than software tends to improve at a more measured pace, as all but the hardest breakthroughs have been obtained already. It is therefore unlikely that you will be able to replace a 10 million dollar machine by things in your home any time soon.
I completely agree, but my decisions on the subject would vary in proximity to the immediate distress of the subject and would in no way feature social media.
I think you maybe (or not, couldn't tell) misunderstand the point of the tax. The point is to build a profitable market they can buy from to avoid paying the tax.

With my climate hat on (not to be confused with the environmentalist hat), I have no problem with oil companies continuing to pump out oil as long as they put the Co2 back into the ground. If they prefer to pay a $100/ton tax to pump it out over paying someone else $80/ton offset/sequester the emissions, then they'll quickly go out of business to their competitors.

But, they need an incentive to pay that $80/ton. And the companies that want to put the Co2 back underground need the $80/ton to make it profitable. Right now they have none, but if the alternative is a $100/ton tax, then you can be fairly confident that the net emissions will converge towards zero.

x-pack is not FOSS which is why amazon can’t use it.
I feel that we can say a particular person has failed you, an organization has failed you, but saying that his generation has failed us implies that his generation has some control on the overall trajectory of humanity. I think that's a pretty bad assumption. When the sample is big enough, it almost becomes a random walk/ markov chain instead of deterministic algorithm.
I don't see how separate files forces you to think differently. It might aid in that effort, but it likely doesn't force it.
Had we enforced a full-body MRI for every patient, we would quickly amass enough imaging data to know which anomalies are malignant and which are not to a very high degree

These sorts of statements come across as naive optimism at best. And I like our long term odds of increasing clinical efficacy, and have designed and worked on several systems in this space that are in clinical use.
>These revenue lines are very high-margin

Any source for that? Auto repair is extremely competitive, and laws forbid manufacturers from restricting where repairs can be done. So how is it high margin?
So, almost decade later we are fixing one bad case of small disinformation that people have to make a mental effort to even recall it? why?!?
Well if you didn't like the terms you wouldn't have to get your free scan. :) I hear where you're coming from, but the data isn't nearly as useful if we don't get to find out what diseases you get later in life. The whole point is to train an AI so we need the future data to make it work.
Just remember, you're accepting the agreement if you blocked the overlay because that's the default if you ignored it.
Could you put that in terms that are less condescending and ad-hominem? My impression of HN is that it's not the place for that kind of tone.
This is a rebuke only to the extent that "the emperor enjoys the breeze" is a rebuke to someone pointing out that the emperor is naked.
But the law does allow for ads as payment. GDPR only regulates consent and privacy, not business models, and absolutely allows for PII as payment as long as consent is obtained and data is secure.

However it can't force a company that requires data to be processed for a service to still provide that service when the data is not consented to. That is impossible without breaking the very law that prevents it.

This whole thread is just people refusing that data can be necessary for the service, which is fine if that's your interpretation, but not what major law firms actually agree on and it's certainly not going to hold up in court.
I'm wondering - won't it trigger some antiscrape / antibot measures and lock account?
Below the game record are some comments. One of them asks "why not 31. Bg7?" and some discussion ensues. One commenter points out a line beginning with 31. ... Ke7 and ending up with W gaining the exchange but B having several extra (passed) pawns. (I haven't attempted to verify the accuracy of any of these comments.)
This thread is just going in endless circles.

If data processing is necessary to provide the service then the service cannot be provided without consent. This is perfectly allowed in GDPR. Ask a law firm for further details.
Sure, here are just a couple:

Having a kid seems like an economical suicide for me at the moment. However - I'm scared about what my life will look like when I'll be old and vulnerable.

Yeah, that sort of thing can make a climate scientist sad :/
An online poll. Huh.

What did I 'call him' that you disagree with?
from the paper's synposis, paraphrased -- consider two large groups of trees, one of which thrives in warm temperatures with moderate to high rainfall, another which thrives in strong seasonal changes including a cold and dry time of the year. Each of these two groups has co-evolved with respective microbes in the soil which do regulate the nutrition available from the roots. The physical areas in which these microbes appear, can change "relatively abruptly" over the land, and are sensitive to climate conditions.

The implication is, that if climate conditions like more rain or sustained hotter temperatures, change rapidly, then the microbes in the soil are increasingly out of synch with the weather conditions. I would guess that more stress and increased reproductive failures, to name two extinction drivers, become more pronounced with less available nutrition from the soils plus the new weather.

I've edited my previous message to give you a story about the difference from noise. It's an amazing story.

But it seems there are some readers still attracted to your answer, even if it's nonsensical. I'll prove now that claim of mine, that your answer above has no sense: you specifically quote:

"From the CMB data it is seen that the earth appears to be moving at 368±2 km/s relative to the reference frame of the CMB"

while defending you considering CMB to be 'ether' as this speed information could somehow confirm what you write.

But you can't cherry pick the scientific results like that: It's not a car in which you "just read the speedometer." For you to believe in that speed result which you quote you'd have to believe the formulas for the CMB are right, as the speed is the result of the application of the formulas. So either you believe in the formulas, quote the speed and simply can't call CMB 'ether', because the formulas are based on it not being and behaving as that, or you don't believe in the formulas, but then you are rejecting all the related science of last approximately 100 years, checked and verified unbelievably many times, and you also at the same time can't use the speed as a confirmation of anything you write. In both of these two possible cases your response is nonsensical as it contradicts itself in both cases from one sentence to another.
Personally, I'd rather be drafted than have to watch my kids and grand-kids go fight in pointless resource wars that will be the result of decades of unchecked climate change. Frankly, the attitude previous generations have had towards climate science has can best be described as criminally negligent.
Not at all. If anything, a lot of tech companies have only upped the stakes since then. Every single one of my friends who just graduated college and was actively interviewing recently had not only flights/hotels/transportation taken care of, but also got some nice perks like first class tickets or airline lounge access at the airport. Most also reimburse for food and any other expenses while you are in the city, up to a certain limit per day, which is usually very generous (the most common one I heard was $75/day for food).

I don't know of a single dev in real life who had to fly out for an interview and had to pay for flights/hotel out of their own pocket.
But power users are a very small minority also, nobody argues that IRC should disappear but is still not a replacement for most other messaging platforms.

I too would have liked an open protocol in principle, but looking at emails I am not sure it would have been a good thing. (As in eternal backwards compatibility and unchangeable architectural choices that might not suit a very different future use)

Yes, they aren't looking at real wages, that's the whole point of the comment: they are comparing the inflation of bread price with the nominal growth of median personal income.
Yes, that is bad. How bad though? To be both objective and realistic you would need to break that down as a cost increase, per capita, in portion to percentage increase of annual cost of living. There are real numbers to these things, and I suspect they are large, but I really don’t know. Objectively speaking until such numbers are simulated we are all just making things up and that is most depressing of all.
Thing is, though, most of those things are different systems. systemd-logind systemd, systemd-udevd, and journald (and others) are different systems in the same project. They're a bit tied together (through dbus and I'm not sure what else), but that doesn't mean they're the same system.
Have a better suggestion? You have to start somewhere.
PCIe might be good so you can use an used enterprise raid card in JBOD mode. Probably can attach way more drives that way.
Most other platforms have private groups. Or even private groups with moderation support.
> It really does not help we have tables with few hundred companies listed.

It helps so far that I (as a user) see upfront how much an article costs (in tracking data). I can then decide if I want to pay for it or not.
They don't owe it as much as they stole more than their share, and continue to build deficits and prevent housing for younger generations.
Privatization would make these sorts of problems worse, as schools compete more vigorously to sell signalling value to parents.

The fix is to monopolize signalling value through legal fiat - make it illegal to ask job applicants or allow applicants to disclose the school they attended, and replace it with an examination and/or interview based certification monopoly.
> The ntp and dns are easy to replace, they're not part of the actual systemd binary.

They really aren't. It took us a full week of work to get dnsmasq to work in place of systemd-resolved. The problem is that they are tied in to the dhcp client and it only seems to know how to update systemd-resolved's configuration. So getting our custom search path out of dhcp was a huge pain.

I like almost every other part of systemd, but trying to excise systemd-resolved from Ubuntu 18.04 was massively frustrating to the point where I started thinking, "maybe the systemd haters are right…"
Scientists Sound Alarm over 5G Health Effects
I have moved at least 15 times by now and the more places I lived in and saw from others, the more I became convinced that open kitchens are the new schmalz of interior architecture that someday hopefully a new Bauhau-esque change of directions will eradicate.

Some points:

- I don't want the smell in my living room

- Kids: It's good to be able to keep them distanced if needed. If they want to participate in cooking, there's https://www.puckdaddy.de/de/entdeckerturm/

- It clutters the interior design as your living room is always going to offer you a view of used dishes, open food packaging and kitchen utilities (Dare I say it's anti-zen?)

- living room is unusable noise-wise, when open kitchen is in use

- I don't want my guest to see every faux pas that happens in the kitchen.

- Energy usage

That's the practical stuff where the open design falls short. But what annoys me philosophically about them is that there's this cultural delusion: that you're going to have a house party every time you eat. Or that people want to see me cooking, because I'm really good at it.

My experience is, that most open kitchen users just don't cook that much (and dine out instead), so they don't recognize the flaws. And they don't recognize that using "a lot less space" also means that you're probably getting less space sold in the first place. Both of these points illustrate how the open kitchen was something that affluents, especially younger ones were prone to. Just the right peer group to cheer the rest of society into believing that this is something desirable.

Cooking is not a chore, true, not just. But in reality it is a lot of times – and that's perfectly fine!

PS: That's of course subjective. Hopefully my counter position to yours is not taken as offensive.
If it's how the service is paid for then it's necessary for the service.
There are a lot of people talking in this thread about the dangers of cooking in a kitchen that make it sound like a cheesy infomercial...

"Scalding your loved ones? Tired of shutting the oven door on your cat? Isn't there a better way? Closed floor plans!"

I've got kids. My number one complaint about my house is that I am shut off from everyone when I try to cook.
Try requesting an Uber in Latam on a low end android device. You’ll revise this opinion quickly.
Privatization shifts the signaling game theory from pandering to government funding to pandering to consumers. Given that consumers don’t have nearly as much time to research options individually as governments do collectively, this can and likely will create far worse outcomes on average.

edit: This comment has gone from 8 points to 4 points in about 10 minutes, so I can only assume this thread has become the target of a downvote brigade from some other web site. The joys of discussing politics in the age of 4chan!
I tend to agree, doctors is going to be the holy shit moment for society when we begin replacing them across the board. I mean we still might need 100 or so (nationwide in the usa), maybe keep the top 1000 doctors/surgeons for times when creativity and unique problem solving is needed and to 'sign off' on computers' work remotely (for awhile, till they're not needed at all anymore)...

If the only job left per se for doctors is to 'okay and sign off' on prescriptions that a computer recommends, after a computer does the entire intake/evaluation, then 1 doctor can replace 100 or 1000 for 20 second evals over skype.
Not has. They are failing us today. Boomers have all the money and political power yet are doing nothing. Dont say sorry for things you did yesturday. Stop doing what you are doing today. Stop talking and help us fix the problems.
