Do you have a recommendation for such a proxy? Is this something that could be accomplished at the router level without the need for additional configuration or hardware (on their part). Ideally, I’d love to flash OpenWRT or similar onto their router, enable some simple block lists and settings, and have reasonable assurance they’re protected (at least on their home network).

As I’m writing thing, I wonder if there is a “senior mode” distro/plugin for OpenWRT.
I don't recall where, but I recently saw something about the net effect on long-run global temperature being muddled if the tree's dark foliage absorbs more heat than baseline for the environment.

I'm not sure if that's just an asterisk indicating that the short-run effect may be a wash, or if it's clear enough to rule out some environments/tree species in favor of other choices.
Also there weren’t so many alternatives back then for getting articles and ads out. So the release schedule probably made sense and it was possible to make some profit off magazines. (Not that much though I think.)

These days the dynamics have changed a lot. Today many ads an articles would be outdated if they were written many months before being published.
I'd say work for my company (https://www.indigoag.com/join-us) but you work in Europe.

Look for agtech or renewable energy companies who need software engineers. You're helping tackle climate change by being a part of the solution.
> I believe Intel processors can't boost all cores.

And that's exactly what shereadsthenews's point is. They can't boost all cores, and they are not boosting any core beyond the all-core capacity if it's truly a CPU that runs at 5 GHz all the time.
Tons of great background in this talk, in particular I'm grateful to learn of the work of Thomas Vidick.
This is a salient point. I've personally found that most junior/intermediate people want to be mentored but it should always be done carefully and with consideration. I've had a couple of junior/intermediates, though, who, like you are saying, just did not want it. I think that most of them have moved on from the company but there is 1 person who is still around and who is now the type of person who has 5 years of experience but it's all the same year.
I feel that it's necessary that I post. I've been working as an energy consultant for large businesses and governments where I improve the energy efficiency of facilities, in effect reducing their carbon footprint. Climate change is a complex topic and what little I know helps me understand how complex of a challenge it is. The following is my bias and probably incorrect opinion.

The most effective way to reduce the effects of global warming is to implement a carbon tax. Use the power of the economic system we have to guide firms reduce their own carbon footprint. For example, in Canada, they implemented a revenue-neutral policy where carbon is taxed and the money made is refunded evenly per person. The only costs are the minimum administrative and the substitution/income effect (Slutsky equation).

As a person, it's difficult to know where to help. I would recommend to first promote the above and then look at the metric '$ per CO2 emission saved'. I believe it is the most important metric to reducing your carbon footprint.

Taking the bus instead of driving, moving to a smaller house, reducing meat consumption or updating to LED lighting in many cases has a negative $/CO2, meaning you save money and reduce CO2. With the money you saved, look at projects with positive but small $/CO2, this could be purchasing power from renewable sources, purchasing a more efficient heating and cooling system. This list is what I've seen in north america but changes greatly depending on region and what you are already doing.

Unfortunately it is a very complex challenge. I know I didn't answer your question. I would recommend starting with good information, the IPCC releases reports of the leading science of climate change and would recommend starting with the report for policy makers as a summary. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/syr/
I’d guess that the upper limit is stability rather than thermal capacity at that point
Do you happen to have a list of such books off the top of your head?
I completely disagree with 6]. Mobile app developers crank out high res throwaway games for less than $20k.
Nothing gets increased unless you think her customers just wouldn’t shop at all if it wasn’t for her, or would somehow do so in perfectly safe and carbon-neutral ways.
> Any sign Intel is losing market share?

Purely anecdotal but I just upgraded and consolidated 2 of my home-servers, and for me there was no doubt AMD was the right choice this time around.

All other enthusiasts I know also consider AMD only, and even consider that alone reason enough to build a new rig.

At work though we have a deal/partnership with Lenovo, so I can’t get AMD even if I threaten to quit.

So for now I’m stuck with 4 core CPUs at work, like it’s still 2010.
Is this the same iOS that recently allowed anybody to remotely activate the microphone and camera using Facetime?
Walk through privacytools.io with them for at least their browser and their browser extensions, and possibly the email portion. That 30 min lesson may do them years worth of good.

Can recommend Chromebook from personal experience.

Auto-updates painlessly. Probably worth getting one with touchscreen and ability to run Android Apps. I've just updated my mum's one to Acer Chromebook R11 CB5-132T (old one was no longer getting updates after c. 5 years)
Google's New Manager Student Workbook
I think the wording should be taken literally. It isn't that there actually are two selves, it's that there are considered to be two.

Obviously on some level you know the selves are one and the same. The idea is: don't apply this knowledge within the thought process about whatever issue you're trying to decide.

In other words, you can integrate / resolve all this knowledge into one cohesive whole (person X needs to decide whether to buy a new car, person X is me --> I need to decide whether to buy a new car; what should I do) or you can block that resolution process and proceed as if it is not yourself (person X needs to decide whether to buy a new car --> what should person X do).
I’m so sick of the software industry expecting developers to do the work of the entrepreneurs for them without any of the upside.

Why the fuck should I help the owner get rich by identifying how to grow their business by increasing conversion, retention, etc.? I don’t benefit at all.

At my current company we have weekly meetings where the owners tell us all the business metrics we should be driving and ask for ideas on how to increase them. I’ve learned to say “I don’t have any specific ideas right now.” because it’s insulting they expect me to do their work and get nothing for it.
iOS/macOS with 1blockerX/1blocker and keychain has worked wonders for my parents.
It's too tightly coupled, doesn't really follow best practices and is barely documented. When I wanted to improve it, it just wasn't very inviting :/

Fully agree with your 2nd paragraph though
The motivation behind using incentives instead of a ban is that there is a desire to lessen the pain of switching away from fossil fuels. Most people on HN could withstand maybe even an 8x increase in the cost of food, transportation and consumer goods without losing anything beyond the superficial (after all in SV the most expensive thing is rent on houses that have already been built). It would be virtually impossible to ruin HN-ers by banning carbon. However, there are people who are very sensitive to prices. They are hurt by trade wars and government interventions into the market's fairly efficient serivce of their basic needs. They are... the poor and lower middle class.
While I understand this will have superb latency, it's still not clear to me why would Starlink be cheaper than existing VSAT. VSAT is quite expensive (starting from ~thousand dollars per month):
http://www.melatnetworks.com/price-list.asp

Or those, with prices around 50usd/gb:
https://www.vsat-systems.com/service-offerings/VAR-VNO-Deale...

Even if Starlink is 10x cheaper than existing VSAT it does not come even close to LTE cost. And we have 5g on the horizon.
It may be a reasonable use after we get a lot of excess peak production but for now the more efficient storage (pumped hydro or battery) is probably the better use of our power. Someone with a better source on the numbers could definitely do the math for which removes more carbon; replacing replacing a nighttime power plant (coal/NG) or replacing some of the fuel supply. I can't imagine the CO_2 -> Fuel process is particularly efficient.
Something similar happened to me on May 23rd, 2019 (three days ago) [0], where I ended up losing my Twitter account.

Essentially, my t-mobile mobile phone number was hijacked (despite I had a PIN, which the attacker didn't need - poor security practice by t-mobile), and after that they proceed to change the password of my Twitter account using the phone.

Thankfully I was close to a t-mobile shop in San Francisco, and ~40 minutes later I regained control of my SIM card. Nothing else has been affected so far.

FYI, T-mobile can't be sued for damage resulting from something like this. We have to "thank" judge Scalia for this.

As of now, Twitter is slowly responding to my issue, despite I had a few friends there try to help.

> Do you think about the costs of production of oil, the refinement process, fuel delivery costs

These are internalized to the cost of fuel at the pump. There's no need or benefit to think about them as a consumer.
Is the Pareto distribution the way it is because on every time step the tail ends have exponentially more ability to pull away? Is there some sort of statistics concept that models time variation of distributions (first derivative?) or their acceleration (second derivative ?)
Even if astronomers wanted to, the cost of replacing all terrestrial optical telescopes by orbital ones would be astronomical. Especially if you include amateurs. Stargazing wouldn't be a thing anymore.

And illuminating all of earth? I don't want to imagine the damage that would cause to ecosystems. It would completely take away peoples' choice not to live in a place with street lighting, or even to have a vacation in such a place. Street lighting is bad enough for peoples' circadian rhythms as is.
Is it going to be that much faster? 300mhz faster than the current top one according to the article.
I've been using https://chessable.com for learning chess openings, tactics, strategy recently. It's spaced repetition forms of chess books and also courses made specifically for the platform. It works quite well.
Regarding sitting, most that do this likely don't drive far from home base. Once at the store, they are on their feet shopping, and hustling while they do it. When they get to the destination, it involves carrying packages up multiple flights of stairs, sometimes more than once. Better than a desk job, no?
Chromebooks are great, but there is certainly still some risk if extensions are enabled. My daughter was having problems with her Chromebook, and I found that a bunch of shady extensions had been installed (I had a flashback to the 90's and toolbars). Apparently they were masquerading as games and themes.
How do software developers use these kinds of tools? What are you putting into them? Surely not things like names of specific functions. How would a tool like this help me learn python vs just coding in python?

>> "I recycle and don't litter, why should I have to pay a carbon tax" as if those things are related.

The recycling part is as least a little related. The recycling of metal requires less energy than the creation of new metal from ore, especially for steel (cars) and a aluminum (cans). So recycling metal does contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions.
XTU allows setting different turbo multipliers for 1-4 active cores (but the difference from the nominal clock speed typically gets smaller as more cores become active).
Some of the 9900K chips are able to push 5.2Ghz, this is not a proper answer to the AMD's new lineup
No. There is quite a bit of income mobility in the US, and these types of reports never really explore it. Instead, they leave you with the idea that the top 10% today are the same people that were there 10 years ago. Which is false.
While it's true that speculation as a whole needs to be revisited, Intel is impacted to a much greater extent because they designed their hardware to speculate beyond permission barriers as a matter of routine. AMD did not [0] and consequently is affected only by the most general attacks on speculation, e.g., Spectre. As far as I understand, AMD chips are not impacted by Meltdown or any of the MDS attacks.

It'd be great to see Michael run the same benchmarks against an AMD chip that has all relevant mitigations enabled and compare the performance loss. I'd ballpark that AMD chips may have lost ~10% overall, whereas we see here that Intel chips have lost ~25%.

The night sky is impacted far more by blinking airplane lights and city light pollution than a few satellites.

This has been a thing since the dawn of space travel. These at least provide a service that most people would benefit from, either directly through service or indirectly through increased competition.

Honestly, I think more people enjoy watching Iridium satellites than are perturbed by them.

We’re not talking about pollution in the sense of significant changes in the brightness of the night sky (as we are with true light pollution from cities). We’re talking about the fact that they’re detectable with the naked eye.
Audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are easily manipulated, that's to change
There is a very simple reason for that, which I learned when I was in college: the end of Moore's law. During the 80s and 90s Moore's law was in full force, and every few months hardware doubled in speed and halved in price. This was the heyday of computing! With the end of Moore's law we won't see that happening again anytime soon, the future is to do incremental improvements in computer architectures, unless we find something fundamental to fuel the next generation of computing.
The Pareto principle strikes again!

It was not normal.

The demand for advertisements targeting readers interested in personal computers grew very quickly in 1979 and the early 1980s. Byte was able to capture much of the quickly growing advertising revenue because it took years for high-growth-capable competitors to Byte to get off the ground.

(Byte was mostly ads back then.)

PC Magazine started in Feb 1982. Its issues quickly became as thick or almost as thick and ad-filled as Byte's.

There were other magazines in the same market in the 1970s, e.g., Dr Dobb's Journal, but for some reason they never expanded their "portfolio" (terminology?) of advertisers the way that Byte did.

I guess the mainstream magazine publishers considered (probably rightly so at that stage of the industry) personal computers too niche to be worth their while. PC Magazine for example was started by an enthusiast, not a mainstream publisher.
Yawn, this idea of legislating process instead of taxing/punishing outcomes is so much worse because they always backfire when they meet people with incentives.

>(1) Burning more than 100kg of coal per year is illegal.

No problem, we’ll just burn bunker fuel instead, or 1000kg of wood. Too bad you didn’t just limit carbon instead.

>(2) All new houses must include 10m2 of solar panels per resident.

Nice, a tax on the poor to force a rollout of an energy source with no baseload story that won’t work on a huge chunk of homes due to location and/or orientation. Solution here is to obviously pick the cheapest possible thing that qualifies as a solar panel. Too bad you didn’t incentivize energy generation.

>(3) Windmills are, by law, not "an eyesore". No more complaining about them spoiling your retirement view.

This is a joke right? Legislating speech around the appearance of a pervasive man-made object? That’s as dumb as “CO2 is, by law, not ‘a problem’. No more complaining about it risking our future.” The best way to get people to talk about how ugly they are is to ban talking about how ugly they are.

>(4) Those who cannot articulate the difference between a millisievert and a microsievert, between fission and fusion, are not allowed anywhere near the planning meeting for any new power plant.

This sounds good on paper, but it’s the politicians that hold the ropes here and they are ignorant and listen to the populace. This is why things like the green new deal exclude nuclear energy and effectively accept fossil fuels as base-load by doing so. Politicians cater to their base, not what is right for society or what is logical.
Yes, equipping sattelites which are destined to decay back into the atmosphere with nuclear power sources sounds like a great idea. /Facepalm
Self-Care Is Not an Indulgence
The number one thing you can do to help them is talk to them about being conned / scammed. That's by far the most likely way for them to get victimized online, and the only way that's seriously affected anyone I know.

Since they're not technical, their natural self-defense against this kind of this has trouble functioning online. Talk to them about real world analogs to pop-up ads that look like virus scanner alerts, talk to them about people pretending to be someone they know. Hell, show them the movie "Catch me if you can" and explain the same psychological tactics get used online.

Get them to consider "what do I really know, and is this too good to be true" before they talk to anyone, click a link, or buy anything online -- and they will be fine, if their judgement is otherwise unimpaired.

If they're very late in life, or otherwise have trouble with this kind of thing in the real world, there is unfortunately not much you can do to help them, other than force them to only use pre-installed apps on a tablet that you've selected, like you might with a small child. If they're not willing to do that, then it's unfortunately on them. I've had this experience both with my grandfather and a friend who lives with a brain injury, who are responsible for themselves but don't have the judgement necessary to realize how impaired they are.

And of course, make sure the computer is auto-rebooting to get updates, and they know to call you if they get a virus / malware popup they think could be real.

"The tool exploits a vulnerability in unpatched software..."

It's a self inflicted wound by Baltimore.

Question is, what is the cost of actually maintaining their systems competently vs. the cost of the attack? Both are difficult to quantify, but if you factor in the likelihood of getting attacked I bet it's still cheaper in the long run to just run your IT dept fast and loose and let the chips fall where they may.

As a government entity, they are probably making the soundest decision based on budget. Disruption in services hurts the populace, not the government.

As an anecdotal aside, I once worked as a contractor for over a year for a state government entity, run by a young, ambitious, dept head who was all about the security and soundness of the software they used. But he needed a good sized budget, to convert buggy and insecure systems over to something more sound, and every single meeting with his superiors was about money. He argued so vehemently (I was in some of these meetings and he couldn't have been any more astute in his observations on the future of attacks) that eventually his superiors found a reason to fire him (using government bought software for personal use at home - for self education). And, no joke, literally all the work he and his team had done in the dept for years was just chucked when the next guy came in.

Government is about money, not security.
People in cities can’t see stars anymore, so this complaint about the new satellite constellation is almost academic.

In decades past, people began to be concerned about light pollution. The city of Phoenix, Arizona passed its first lighting ordinances around 1983. One of the goals was to reduce sky glow.

After all those politicians retired LED lighting came out. Because the politicians who worked on the sky glow problem were two generations back, the current politicians didn’t realize there are very good reasons for using amber low pressure sodium bulbs for the street lights, and replaced those lights with white LEDs. The quality of light from the LEDs is terrible, but the city saves a few pennies a year (electricity, maintenance), so they probably won’t be fixing the problem.

My friend told me of how she takes her grandkids out to look at the phases of the moon, and how sometimes they find a single star in the sky.
Advice I could have used five years ago. I don’t even know how to talk to my parents about current events/politics now because we don’t share a common base of facts.
