WHO classifies work “burnout” as occupational phenomenon
5. Swear or pray (or both!)
I'm remembering back 40 years here. I worked in the engine room of a nuclear powered cruiser. We had a switch called something like "battle bypass" that would bypass all the auto scram functions. The military calls a shutdown scram while the commercial industry calls it trip. We had a captain rank captain and I believe all nuclear powered vessels had one.
Same. I kind of wish I had a need for this sort of thing.

Without this sort of library I would have zero chance of building this myself. Amazing.
I've created a pdf based on the available scans I could find on the site.

Added blank pages according to the a, b, and c pages.
Added table of contents for the major sections.
Also tried to do some ocr on it, it seems good enough for searching at least.

Global Payments, TSYS to Combine in $21.5B Deal
But what if you are encountering an alien life form from another planet? How will you know if it's basically like a leopard, in spite of being purple with green stripes, so stabby thing it is? Or maybe it's friendly and stabbing it would start an intergalactic war because it's actually a visiting diplomat.

It's my job to give such clues to the clueless. (Not intended to call anyone stupid. I used to routinely ask for clues for the clueless when asking questions for myself online and self identifyng as the clueless on topics where I lacked expertise.)
Wow. This is a nice execution of an idea. Very well done.
John Carmack can blog about ffmpeg bugs wherever he wants. Like there is no way stopping him from doing that is even remotely legal. He probably just posts on facebook because it's convenient and reaches a lot of people.

Food for thought...

I strongly suspect that this new OS will be coming from Huawei.

It makes sense that a Chinese company develops an OS for their own government. We are in the spyware era, afterall.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear, years later, that Huawei's "backup" effort was never to replace Android on consumer devices but to fork it for Chinese government use. It's too convenient an excuse to have so much work done on so many doomsday scenarios. Huawei, I think, was already tasked for the new OS(es) by China.

Similarly, their efforts to replace Windows[0] was to provide their government with a "homegrown" OS solution. Not unlike Sailfish in Russia[1].

As much as I like the idea of a new OS competing on the world stage, preferably based on Open Source... it's simply not going to happen coming from either Huawei or China. Control of data is the the overriding motivator among nearly every tech firm and government. When these transitions take place (gov and Huawei consumer), I might as well be running RedStar OS or a US-based commercial alternative.

I believe everything that Russ Cox says here and don't think it will make a whit of different either. But thats because he does not refute the assertion in the original document.

Go _is_ Google's project. They may let other people contribute but if Google's interests are not maintained, and further if the small core group who run it inside of Google disagree, you should not assume there is any way to override that. That's literally the point of what the original document was saying.

Lots and lots of us can live with that, but it would be much better if the golang contribution process was more explicit about that.
Saudis have also been sued for 9/11 which is still pending in courts 18 years later.
I use some CSS to alert me to paywalls, but I don't filter them out entirely. Sometimes you can find an alternate version of the article using HN's web link. A lot of sites with paywalls offer x number of free articles before the wall shows up, too, so it varies...

Also, content filter add-ons like uBlock Origin often get around paywalls. YMMV

I posted this CSS last time paywalls were discussed:

if you look at the distribution of folks most opposed to any action on climate change, they are also the most vulnerable to the effects of it (red state + poor). So I am not opposed to them feeling some heat (no pun intended) for their actions. if things get dire then IMO they'll less opposed to a tax on big corp that gives then some relief money. this may be a good way to nudge them into supporting action.

I mean even at a very base consumer level, why does someone buys a big V8 truck that's really bad for environment if they are poor. its because the price of polluting environment is not included in their operating costs. so other values take over their decision. if you change that equation, the people who have least amount of headroom are the ones having hardest time adopting. this is true for any equilibrium. So in short this argument can be used to attack any positive change. IMO it has no bearing & IMHO its better to remedy the effects by another positive change rather than discarding the original well built idea.
My deep resentment for corporate employment
As a software engineer, I have always sold a set of software revisions ("commits") that attempt to implement requirements/specifications.

It is important to talk about the actual delivery/product that you ship to your employer/customer, because that is what he is actually paying for. So, we are talking about commits against dollars, as a business model.

Quite a few corporations insist, however, that you come over to their offices to carry out the work on site.

Unfortunately, that drags in their HR policies, employee handbook, labour law, and other corporate rules and regulations. We are no longer merely talking about commits against dollars. Now it turns into supervising your whereabouts and activities for at least eight hours per day.

That is not the end of this series of side effects.

If you work at their offices, you also become subject to the country laws of the land surrounding their offices, including divorce laws. Therefore, we are no longer talking about a transaction where we merely exchange commits for dollars. No, the customer/employer now even insists on opening up your private life to a potential divorce rape.

I simply do not want to be subject to the often culturally Marxist laws in their location. Why can't they stick to the commits for dollars business model?

In software engineering, it is perfectly possible to use communication tools and constitute virtual teams across the globe. There is no need to force people to sit in the same location.

It has always disturbed me that the inability and outright ineptitude to use modern tools, is used as an excuse to force people to expose themselves to a divorce rape. I have lived for over 15 years now, far outside the West, going my own way, by working remotely. It has been a continuous war to prevent corporations from trying to drag me back to the plantation. I find their behaviour to be utmost detestable.
>an afterthought achieved by applying layers and layers of security ducktape

This is where you're missing the fundamental nature of the issue in this article. The sensible security model is there by default. An additional layer is added to make a resource available cross-origin, and the article merely serves to remind people that making a resource available cross-origin is still making it available cross-origin when the origin is localhost.

Congestion will increase assuming number of cars on the road is the only factor that causes congestion.

But it isn't. If you can reduce the number of idiots that don't know how to zipper merge and reduce the number of accidents that cause slowdowns and the rubberneckers that make it worse, I can imagine traffic getting a lot better.

And that doesn't even take into account the possibility of remote communication between the cars to better avoid busy streets and coordinate movements.
I have noticed that anyone talking about Google negatively on HN gets an inital barrage of downvotes and then after a few days reaches to around 1 or 2 points.

Folks in this thread may find this interesting, a 4 part documentary on Edward Bernays and the history of advertising and PR as we know it today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1M04

From the video description -

"The story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays. Bernays invented the public relations profession in the 1920s and was the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses. He showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn't need by systematically linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires.

Bernays was one of the main architects of the modern techniques of mass-consumer persuasion, using every trick in the book, from celebrity endorsement and outrageous PR stunts, to eroticising the motorcar.

His most notorious coup was breaking the taboo on women smoking by persuading them that cigarettes were a symbol of independence and freedom. But Bernays was convinced that this was more than just a way of selling consumer goods. It was a new political idea of how to control the masses. By satisfying the inner irrational desires that his uncle had identified, people could be made happy and thus docile.

It was the start of the all-consuming self which has come to dominate today's world."
In 2014, Tesla wrote to its investors [0]:

"...According to the agreement, Tesla will prepare, provide and manage the land, buildings and utilities. Panasonic will manufacture and supply cylindrical lithium-ion cells and invest in the associated equipment, machinery, and other manufacturing tools based on their mutual approval. A network of supplier partners is planned to produce the required precursor materials. Tesla will take the cells and other components to assemble battery modules and packs. To meet the projected demand for cells, Tesla will continue to purchase battery cells produced in Panasonic's factories in Japan. Tesla and Panasonic will continue to discuss the details of implementation including sales, operations and investment."

From a quick read of this press release and a few others, it seems that Panasonic is doing the real heavy lifting from a manufacturing perspective.

Metadata makes it an impossible wish. The act of sending or receiving anything provides companies the detailed information(phone, location, etc.) that you're trying to keep secret. Carriers like Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile also sell users location data outright.
Energy use and pollution are not exactly correlated. Neither is carbon footprint and pollution, these are all separate things that have to be managed almost separately.
I used to fly gliders (sailplanes). There are many cases of pilots landing on trees with minimal damage, sometimes even to the glider. Of course the huge wing span helps.

Big aviation has no such procedures because crash landing a Boeing or a fighter jet is not an option. Even landing on water (perfectly doable in a glider, though all instruments will be kaput) is a huge achievement in an airliner.
"Complete tornado records" don't go anywhere near as far back as 1950.

The modern NEXRAD system wasn't even deployed until the early 1990s, and has been upgraded since then. Also, we now have zillions of storm-chasers cruising the highways any time severe weather is in the offing.

https://www.weather.gov/gld/tornado-tornadographs

> In the early 1990s, a major modernization program within NWS took place, which included the deployment of Doppler radar and a more rigorous spotter training program. In addition, the 1990s saw an increasing number of storm chasers using video cameras and cell phones to document and report severe weather. These facts are likely responsible for the dramatic increase in annual tornadoes reported since 1990.

Also, as recently as 2014, we were in a three year record low period for tornadoes.

https://weather.com/safety/tornado/news/tornado-count-hits-r...

However, that wasn't worthy of sensationalistic headlines in the NYT.

Can you explain why we should place greater emphasis on an 11 day high than on a three year long low?
Unfortunately, I think your solution would effectively destroy democracy at any level other than mayor and dog-catcher in tiny cities.

Televised presidential debates? Those are advertising for party-sponsored candidates to the disadvantage of write-in candidates. If all publicity is good publicity, then the same holds true for all news articles about candidates running for any office. How is a newspaper editorial proclaiming that "Elected official X is bad for Y!" any different than a campaign ad in the same newspaper that "Elected official X is great for Y!"?

In one case, the newspaper makes money to put the content to be there, in the other, the newspaper makes money because the content is there.

The same goes for books: how is publishing a biography of someone not a form of advertisement for or against that person?

If I'm not mistaken, that happens to also be the heart of (at least one of the justices' deliberations on) the Citizens United case that declared corporate spending on elections to be covered under free speech.
Even if a thousands died from Chernobyl, it reflects the danger of the Soviet system, not of nuclear energy.

Just take the thing we learned in this week's episode: The design flaw on the RBMK reactors that caused the explosion had been observed before, but the report was classified to not put the glorious Soviet nuclear technology in a bad light!!!

In any remotely sane system, security risks are published and compensated for. The operators would have known about this risk, and not pressed the fateful AZ-5 button that caused the explosion
> since most of the information published by the Soviet authorities was intentionally incorrect or misleading

There's also the opposite - cold war era propaganda trying to make the Russians seem backwards and primitive. The Soviet Union at the time was also opening up through glasnost.

On top of this, fossil fuel companies had a lot to gain through scaremongering around nuclear energy. It worked as very well as almost all planned nuclear power plants were mothballed.
Dude. This idea is actually fantastic.

It will add political pressure to the discussion too.

Write a letter to your Senator. This is actually a great idea. Could be a great push to help quantify the climate change issue.

That is so interesting! It sounds very difficult to do speech to code for many of the most popular languages.

Do you think an intermediate language is necessary? For example, instead of trying to implement speech to code for JavaScript, implement it for "VoiceScript", some purpose built JS variant which is intended to be unambiguous to process speech, and which transpiles to Javascript
You need to lay off the fake science.
That was great, thanks for the detailed response!

I think it might be interesting also to talk about the quality of housing. You touch on a related topic "making the city less desirable to residents", but I think it's worth adding something to that.

If you segment the housing by housing deemed good enough by people with high incomes, and housing of a quality which they won't live in, you can achieve the goal of allowing in lower income people without satisfying the demand for all of the higher income people (either high income people won't work and live in the city, or they'll commute from somewhere with housing they want).

Additionally, you can lower the threshold for people living in the city to live outside the city by making commutes easier.

This could also be used to demonstrate how replacing old and lower quality housing with luxury housing could negatively impact people with lower incomes, even if you're building more luxury units than there were previously low quality units, since in this thought experiment the market for luxury units doesn't affect that for low quality units (this refutes a commonly posed argument that it's good to build luxury housing as long as it's lots of units).

I can't say for certain that they market actually segments like this, but it's not too hard to convince yourself that it does.

> If you don't want to use a project affiliated with Google, don't code in Go.

For what it's worth (and I say this is an outside observer who's never written any Go, so, grain of salt, etc.), I don't think the original post this responds to disagrees with your point. To wit, from that post:

> Or in short, Go has community contributions but it is not a community project. It is Google's project. This is an unarguable thing, whether you consider it to be good or bad, and it has effects that we need to accept. For example, if you want some significant thing to be accepted into Go, working to build consensus in the community is far less important than persuading the Go core team.

and

> PS: I like Go and have for a fair while now, and I'm basically okay with how the language has been evolving and how the Go core team has managed it.

I don't think he's saying "Go is bad" or even "the management of Go is bad," but rather something more like "people should be honest about the nature of the management of Go, and choose how to engage with the community and the process accordingly."
It was the place to mail order components too! If you were building a system back in those days, that was one of the better tomes to dig through to find deals.

I understand that, and agree from a conventional point of view the comment does look nutty.

However the notion that the current so-called 'growth' oriented global order threatens the very fabric of our living planet, while not yet quite mainstream in corporate media, is gaining currency fast. It's well inside the fringe in academia and on the streets.

And the notion that marketing's most fundamental aim is to create desires for more consumption (hence more fake 'growth' aka ecosystem destruction) isn't a conspiracy theory (contra your 'Truther' jibe). It's quite open: philosophically-inclined marketers have understood this for a long time. They even used the term 'consumer engineering' in the early 20th C.
