Methane has a short half-life, and is a small fraction of atmospheric particles compared to the other gases, and when methane decomposes it turns into carbon dioxide and water which is a less potent green house gas.

Even if you release all the methane stored in permafrost, that effect will be short lived on a geologic timescale.
I saw one attached to a vending machine in Germany. The vending machine sold alcohol and the ID scan was only for alcohol purchases.

I live on the East Coast, I've traveled around the country a fair bit, and I go to bars. I've only seen an ID scanner literally once in my life.
All of these complaints are MacOS problems. On my Debian laptop, "openssl --help" actually displays some help (despite --help not being a real flag), "man openssl" works as expected, and "openssl genrsa" uses a 2048-bit modulus... and "openssl verison" confirms it's actually openssl.
More like people in charge have been coming after me my whole life, and now they are up to this.

It's a mute issue until China and India do something about it. They don't, not because of centuries of social injustice. More like the corrupt reality of this second. The gasoline stops coming from the naive leaders, the naive leaders go bye bye.

Funny how the talk of global warming goes away when we talk about dumping trillions of QE in the wallets of people in charge.

There are ways to get conservatives aboard. Naval treaties, leadership, mutual realignment. They're not done because this isn't about solving problems.

I see it as a way to explain why all this money is going to research, without alarming people of something good on the horizon, which in many ways is more destructive than ominous threat.
can you ask marketing if they can just remove salesforce from my company
Totally agree with you.

It's another sad case, of many that seem to have hit the HN front page in recent months, of a developer having to resort to social media (i.e. blog, Twitter, HN, etc.) to try to get sufficient attention to get a problem fixed by (Apple/Google/etc).
This is one of those put up or shut up things. We should be able to see through trial where people actually prefer getting services from and keep what's not broken.

This is a VERY bad faith argument. You are assuming the only people who disagree with you are either malicious or brainwashed.

This, this, this.

Our education system does a great job of teaching value production. It does an absolutely terrible job of teaching value capture.

It would be really nice if the two were always aligned. But for most people, most of the time, they're not. The best solution for most people, IMO, is to divorce the two: to work at a job, and serve the community in off-hours. And to aim for independence so the two can be joined.
I do think it would be a good idea for the libressl.org site to put a link on the left "sidebar" with the text "Documentation" (which shows a page of links at minimum), just to make it obvious where to find it.

That was the first thing I looked for, and it took me a while to realize that the links "libcrypto", "libssl", etc on the main page were links to the documentation for each command. In fact, the only reason I found them was the fact that your post said "It _is_ linked to in their front page.", so I went back to find them.

Yeah, if I'd needed it right now, I would have figured it out eventually, but I think making it a bit more explicit (for lack of a better term) would be a good thing.
>When you're in a Walmart, you can only buy from Walmart. Nothing is stopping you from going to Costco.

The laws of physics are not anti-competitive. What would be an anti-trust issue is if Walmart took steps to prevent their customers from shopping at Costco.

Apple is stopping iPhone owners from going to the equivalent of Costco by banning competing app stores. That's a pretty clear violation of U.S. antitrust laws.
This is one of the primary ways that the culture's general knowledge is lagging behind technology. Our culture still thinks in terms of "notoriety," as was known in Julius Caesar's day. Andy Warhol was a bit more advanced. ("Everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame.") In 2019, the mental model should change to encompass algorithmic and viral discovery.

In 2019, it's not just reputation which matters. It's not just the ability to merely publish which matters. It's the ability to leverage algorithmic and viral discovery which truly matters. In 2019, the people who control algorithmic and viral discovery are the ones who hold the reins of cultural and commercial power behind the scenes.

In 2019, having the ability to publish, but not having a solid strategy over discovery, is like in 1960, concentrating on the newspapers and neglecting television. In 2019, ceding control over algorithmic and viral discovery to a few megacorporations is handing over the keys to the most potent commercial and cultural power.
> With global warming, this risk of an unusual or unplanned/unlikely event for that geographic region increases.

This isn't true. Global warming, as the name suggests, affects the entire world, as its mechanism is via long term changes to the atmosphere. Also, it's most severe effects won't be in the form of unlikely "events", but gradual increases in sea level and changes in climate which will put cities underwater and make others too hot to live in.
Open Banking is a big buzzword at the moment. It is good to distinguish different aspects of it:

1) Regulation. What you heard as "PSD2" - is essentially a directive by European Commission and EBA demanding banks to open up access to accounts data and payment initiation. Neither it defines by what means this access should be provided, nor when it should be available - each European country Central Bank can decide on its own.

2) Technical Specification. Examples are OpenBanking UK specification or The Berlin Group - would be groups of banks or local regulators trying to define common standards. Think of interface definition that describes both APIs as well as journeys/workflows.

3) Compliance. In the EU some of the banks (mostly large ones) are now required to be PSD2 compliant, which means they would need to expose their APIs through the standards described above. In the US, where there is no such requirement - the only way to access the bank account is to emulate a browser.

4) Third-Party Providers or Aggregators (Plaid, Teller, Tink, SaltEdge, Bud...) - would essentially provide access to the accounts of multiple banks via APIs. If you look at Plaid in the US - their codebase is probably 50%+ screenscraping/user emulation scripts in order to retrieve your accounts from e.g. Bank of America. For the EU fin-techs its a bit better, but still depends per country (remember Berlin Group vs UK OpenBanking?).

I would report that. All of the UberX rides that I had in Delihi were taxis who didn't have the meter on. I've had a few that were just not great, butyou shouldn't be having that big of an issue with Uber there. English is an offical language in India.
I mean, like with everything these rules aren't 100%. That's just been my experience over the last decade across several renovation projects, some successful, and some catastrophic disaster. In this city, it seems like the good ones make names for themselves very _very_ quickly.

My painter is an exception... I've been tipping him like 50% because he undercharges like crazy but does absolutely amazing work. Maybe he'll get the hint eventually (I don't like underpaying people who do great work for me).
I hope that Apple will soon give an explanation. I suspect your app is not the only one to take a hit.

Trade-offs are that binary in real life -- for everyone who would need UBI.

If you are wealthy, you can choose to "forgo a bigger house". If you are middle-class or lower-class, the options are pretty much binary already, today, in the real world. You eat, or you don't. You have a roof over your head, or you don't. You get medical treatment, or you don't.

There's no way to "penny-pinch" , when you are already at the bottom, because all possible savings an individual could make are already priced in. Comparison-shopping isn't a choice, when you are already priced out of all but one of the options.

----

Unless UBI ends up being some huge amount of money (like say, $60k USD/yr/person), there won't be any meaningful non-binary trade-offs for any of those folks to make, regardless of whether UBI happens or not.

As someone who actually understands what is going on here I only partly agree.

The commands aren't meaningless, but OpenSSL approaches the problem from a perspective that isn't what any ordinary user will want. Imagine you want to post a package to Brazil. You see a shop selling postage stamps - perfect. But of course such a shop is for stamp collectors.

They've got lots of Brazilian stamps (you don't need those at all). They've got stamps from every decade (you need current stamps). They have rare stamps (you don't want to pay extra!) and they have lots of used stamps (no longer valid).

Until relatively recently OpenSSL would default to creating CSRs by urging you to fill out largely irrelevant X.500 Distinguished Name and not even mention SAN dnsNames even though most users who want a CSR want it for a TLS server (e.g. web server) where the former is unimportant and the latter is vital.

When it comes to writing TLS client software you probably know the name of the server you want to talk to. A sane API would let you tell the library this once and do all the rest for you. But OpenSSL reflects the interesting (to stamp collectors) half dozen different places that server names are involved in different versions of the protocols, not this sane but boring API.

If you are a student of cryptographic history OpenSSL is great. If you are a application developer it's... poor. If you're a regular end user it's awful.
> `openssl help` does work on OSX (I literally just tested it).

For anyone else interested, I just tested it as well. It appears that it prints a listing of all the commands offered by openssl (split into sections "Standard commands", "Message Digest commands", and "Cipher commands"), with no other descriptions or usage instructions. I tried `openssl help bf` to get more information, and it prints the options available to that command and their descriptions. I did not see any way to actually figure out what a command does, but it is possible I missed it.

> Nuclear is the only energy source where we have a 100% plan for the byproduct of energy.

What about wind? The only direct byproduct is a bit of turbulence, and if you also include the infrastructure (generator, control systems, building, etc), it's probably less complex to dismantle than nuclear.
At the risk of invoking (not from you specifically) the "if you haven't got anything to hide, you have nothing to worry about" argument:

The data can be used against you by the legal system (both civil and criminal), various authorities (like customs agents) and anyone else who has access to your passcode (a jealous spouse for example).

In the West, it's much less of an issue. But imagine you're a gay Chechen, a Chinese dissident, or a Burmese journalist and you find out the hard way your phone has been tracking your every move.

Here's an interesting read from a forensics specialist who calls the data "a proverbial gold mine" and references insurance industry attorneys who use the info -

(Spoiler: To Apple's credit, the investigator is not able to extract any of the encrypted data without the passcode.)

Personally, I've left it on since I agree it's a useful feature. And while I don't think there's any nefarious intent on Apple's part, I am really surprised that it's enabled by default and buried so deeply in the UI.
Angular is too abstract / has a steep learning curve. You need to learn too many design patterns at once (factory, provider, service, singleton, pipes, directives, observable, component, container, dependency injection). Trying something simple is trivial, but trying something more complex is overly difficult.
On an article titled "Plaid Launches in the UK" I would assume the most relevant territory is "the UK".

But if instead the question is "what's the alternative" the answer is "government intervention" as shown by the UK.
I have nearly an identical setup in my bus home, with 300Ah of CALB LiFePO4 batteries (half the price of BattleBorn) and 1800W of solar.

First, good linters and syntax highlighters are supposed to work in embedded code. It works for HTML, JS, CSS. It works for docstring in Python, regex or f-strings. But the tooling state of SQL is quite terrible.

Secondly, you can do that with Path.read_text() and pass it to SQLalchemy-core if a query is so complex you want to (although you would lose many other architectural benefits by doing so, it is sometime necessary).

But writing your entire program like that seems very slow, SQL being verbose, and you having to write additional wrappers on top of it anyway.
What's clearly broken here is the sudden changeover. If things were working correctly, placement would change gradually, based on a shift in the marketplace. From the information in the post, it looks like Apple just decided, "Okay, your turn is over! Next!"
Phrasing it that way is a little misleading.

At 400 ppm CO2 is only 0.04% of the total atmosphere. Increasing from 0.028% to 0.04% is a 42% increase, but 0.04% is too low to directly poison plants.

The climate change effects will be a problem long before plants and animals start getting poisoned by it.
Indeed, the major issue that is always conveniently forgotten is population growth.

Stopping it should at the top of our priorities along with renewable energies.
Related to "Customers who know what they are looking for will search for it in the way you expect", many people don't understand that a search engine works by matching text strings (albeit in an often sophisticated way). They see it as sending commands that the search engine understands, and will then find results for...
No, you're conflating "Apple has a monopoly on app stores in general" with "Apple has a monopoly on what they sell to their customers." The former is an anti-trust concern; the latter is just the basics of how a retail operation works. Which themagician has been patiently trying to explain.

I understand that a lot of people really want to use Apple phones, because they feel that they are superior to Android phones. But this is not a monopoly, it's literally how the market is supposed to work.

You can't walk into a Walmart physical store and ask to see their embedded Target store. Hardware, software, and inventory are bundled into an experience by every retailer in existence.
So called 'Business apps', is an umbrella term for relatively basic apps that usually used for standard business functions. For instance, today I got a sign off for a so called app that will be used to store QA info on sales calls. The QA person will listen to a call, enter info on the system,which them allows to summarize info in reports and dasbords,print QA sheet,etc.Everything stored in one place.It took me just a few days to do it all and it is easy to customise.
I feel the pricing structure of MailChimp has become very complex. It reminds me of the pricing structure of intercom. Very difficult to clearly understand what am I being charged for. I don't know why they are doing this. They should work on making new features and charge more for that.
They actively removed and refuse FIPS mode as policy.

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=139819485423701&w=2

No one that cares enough to use LibreSSL over OpenSSL would want FIPS as reintroducing it would make LibreSSL demonstrably worse. Anyone that requires FIPS doesn't know or care enough about security to have a dog in the fight.

That's your clue. Go for it.
I dare them to block ad blockers.
> Are you fing kidding? Sponsored articles are ads.

Kinda, but not necessarily in a way that subverts the quality of the article. I used to work in media (and I'm thankfully out of it now), so I do have some inside perspective on this.

Sponsored articles (or more colloquially, "native advertising") don't mean "we write what the brand wants us to". It's usually "Oh, Samsung wants non-display advertising for the Galaxy S10, so they cut a deal with us where we'll write a series of 10 human interest stories about things related to how peoples' lives are improved by mobile technology, and it'll be prominently brought to you by the Samsung Galaxy S10". The story isn't about Samsung's product. It's more about attaching the product and brand name to a topically-related story than it is about shilling a particular brand or product - at least when it's done right. The brand shouldn't have any editorial control over the article, other than a high-level agreement as to the topic. When it's done well, your ad department sells the contract, editorial gets their story series topic, and then there's a hard line between editorial and advertising that isn't breached.

It's obviously still advertising, but it doesn't _have_ to be integrity-free shilling.

Given the massive hemorrhaging of display advertising revenue, the utter collapse of video-based advertising, and the disappointing returns on donation and paywall models, well-disclosed, editorially-independent native advertising often turns out to be the most reliable (and maybe even most stomachable) revenue stream for a lot of outfits.

Of course, the temptation is obviously "well, just let us see the article before you run it..." which slips into editorial control, and then you are just straight-up shilling. That happens, it's ugly, and it is just naked advertising. But it isn't necessarily that bad.
Somewhat fair if we are talking about Walmart stores. But Walmart.com still charges fees just to sell on there, and they don’t (necessarily) buy anything. Same for Amazon.com.

If Apple’s policies are an antitrust violation then it will likely extend to Amazon, Walmart, and any other retailer that also sells their own product. It would also impact Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.

I’m not actually again inst that. I just find the Spotify case to be particularly weak.
TypeScript Interface vs. Type
That is the real discussion we (US society) should be having. Unfortunately, things like giving up fancy new facilities or making admissions stricter are a very hard sell as nobody is willing to make those sacrifices, so the conversation revolves almost exclusively around who should be paying for an increasingly unsustainable system.
It is terrifying when things go wrong. The "Chernobyl" series definitely shows that. For the circumstances, the number of deaths Chernobyl contributed to were much lower than the worst case it could have been.

It's not surprising the public responds trepidatiously in the aftermath of a large-scale disaster (see trends of nuclear plant operation in the aftermath of Chernobyl and Fukushima: https://sites.utexas.edu/mecc/files/2014/05/Worldwide-Reacto...).

Nuclear bombs also caused quite a public scare in the 40s-60s following WWII after images of the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki could be seen. The magnitudes of destruction scared people enough to build fallout shelters.

While nuclear power has brought a lot of good, it has also brought a lot of bad. Witnessing the bad changes people. If things go wrong either intentionally or unintentionally, the negative response is going to exceed the positive response, and those responsible for the nuclear plant are going to get the blame for bringing disaster upon everyone else.

"Nuclear" is a tough sentiment to paint positively, when so many unspecialized members of the public think straight to disasters associated with "nuclear".

There's pros and cons to many different energy sources, whether fossil fuel, nuclear, solar/wind, hydro, geothermal, etc. Each decision means accepting the possible consequences that could happen. No one solution is an obvious panacea.

If you want to go build a house out there, it’s hardly rocket science to put the panels on top of it.
Mercury probably has one from insolation and tidal forces from the sun. Venus might still have one thanks to its thermal insulation blanket. Earth and Moon flex each other with tidal forces, and Earth also has a much thinner insulation blanket. Mars might still have one, but its moons don't have much tidal influence, and its blanket is even thinner than Earth's.

So if Mars still has one, chances are good that all the inner planets also have one. They would all be warmed some by radioactive decay, too.

Io (vulcanism) and Ganymede (magnetic field) probably have layers of molten rock/metal in their cores, from tidal forces with Jupiter. Icy moons Europa and Callisto probably have a liquid water layer for the same reason.
Funny thing is I’m a huge Apple fan. I’m interested in modern propaganda and how it works. Few are as good as Apple.
This is why I think every app should be sold in a subscription model. The current users of this app are very happy with it, and yet they will suffer when the developer can't make enough new sales. It's like a Ponzi scheme: everything falls down if you can't enroll enough new users. That's not sustainable.
