I do something similar, I ask the candidate what they do when three different people come to them with urgent needs that must be done immediately and there is no way that they can do them in the time given.

The answer I’m looking for is “I ask for help.” Or “I talk to my manager.” They don’t fail if they don’t answer it that way, but it’s a good starting point for a conversation about why they didn’t say that.

For me, interviewing is more about getting to know someone and how they think than checking off various skill boxes.

Ideally, yes, but in the debate about climate change, as with other issues like vaccines and whether the earth is round, there are bad actors who aren’t interested in having a rational debate no matter how many indisputable facts are put in their way.

There’s no point trying to engage with them; it’s just a waste of everyone’s time and energy. At least flat earthers can largely be ignored and we’re finally seeing community-preserving action against anti-vaxxers [1]. I don’t know what an equivalent action would be for bad-faith climate “debaters” because it’s not like we can leave them on this planet and go somewhere else.

If anyone has followed the Tesla/TESLAQ saga, at one point people on Twitter were decorating their avatars with clowns, mocking Elon. Well it turns out, according to the crazy left, that clowns are symbols for Nazism. Did you know that? I didn't. Tesla fans were literally accusing Tesla doubters of being White Supremacists, because clowns.
Indeed he does!

If everyone who wrote posts and articles about browser monoculture just started using Firefox, this would all be less a problem.
Compared to both of them Chrome was technically miles better as well. And no, Firefox was stagnant. It actually saved web from IE.
It’s really hard to build consumer-facing products solo these days!

I recently “gave up” on building my own site and just pay for a Shopify site now (only an option if you’re in e-commerce) and I’ve been blown away by how easy and high quality it is, and $30/month is honestly way cheaper than the time it’d take me to create and maintain a similar site. There are plenty of alternatives to Shopify that are competitive too I understand.

Perhaps it is worth your while to explore outsourcing so that your own time is not the limiting factor!
I had a similar experience: I used a Beeb in my teens and then started using PCs. My Beeb had (has, actually) Pascal installed as well. So I had Basic, colour graphics, built-in assembler, a word processor in ROM (Wordwise), and Pascal. All of it instantly accessible as soon as the machine turned on. So a PC, which had nothing available without loading DOS and then something else, was a horrible experience.

One thing I find really interesting about BBC Basic is that all the low-level routines (floating point, graphics, etc.) are available for your own assembly programs so you can use them even when you are not using Basic. I don't know if other 8 bit machines had this.
Lots if smaller companies have their own coins and did ICOs, Facebook is launching theirs now because they want to. Them wanting to do the thing is pretty much the driving force behind all of this.

>It's almost like society in the US (mainly) has become so fractured that some in-power-groups actually think they're the underdogs.

Well yes. White people believing they're underdogs oppressed by multiculturalism and shifting demographics, Christians believing they're underdogs oppressed by secularism, and men believing they're underdogs oppressed by feminism all form the spiritual and sociological genesis of modern alt-right and anti-progressive identity politics.

The most politically and culturally powerful demographic in human history (the straight white Christian American male) views itself as history's most existentially oppressed minority. When they look at the groups they perceive to be their enemies they see a consistent narrative of power being gained through struggle, and the solidarity that comes from the persecution complex.

Thus, every argument by those enemies is adopted, inverted and weaponized against them. Black people are oppressed by a racist system? No - black people are the oppressors, just look at BLM, they're shooting white people in the streets. Everyone hates white people now, but what's wrong with being white? Why don't all lives matter? Women are oppressed by a sexist, patriarchal society? No - women have gained so much power and control through feminism that the world is now effectively a global matriarchy and men are being oppressed so much that they're being cucked and driven to suicide en masse. LGBT people are being oppressed? No, society is being forced to accept these alternate lifestyles as normative due to the overwhelming influence of the gay agenda and constant pro-gay propaganda in the media pushing it down everyone's throats, and people who support traditional values are having their rights to free speech, association and religion suppressed. And also they're putting chemicals in the water to turn the frogs gay. Etc.

Interesting observation. Globalism includes ideas, as small interesting ideas grow the established more powerful and exploitive ideas can absorb the meme momentum then reassociate the imagery and ideas as their own.

Ask HN: How do I get a technology I created from my old company?
I created a neat system at my old company. It was a consulting company and I designed and built a prototype (all software) that met the stated needs of the client.
There client chose not to use the solution and it's now just sitting on the shelf, likely never to be used in it's existing form.
The technology can be applied to other situations. How should I go about getting rights or full ownership of the technology so that it can provide value to the outside world?

An emotional/moral argument will be a coinflip with these people.

That doesn't answer the marketing folks' concerns in GP. They don't hate HTML because they prefer markdown or whatever; they want a WYSIWYG/drag-and-drop site builder because it's what they're used to.

I keep seeing this argument that dnssec/dane puts more power in the hands of registrars, which are not as trustworthy as CAs.

Aren't most TLS certs domain validated anyways? The current TLS practice already puts full trust in registrars AND CAs.

Also, complaints that registrars can quietly change out sites without anyone noticing, is pretending that we cannot watch the state of the DNS over time. Don't we have certificate transparency already to solve a similar problem in the WebPKI?

If you want to help software related AI research, start compiling massive high quality training data sets and giving it away for free. Easier said than done though.

No immediate financial return? I hope you can accept no financial return, period. In general the easiest way for an individual to accelerate general research is through generous funding. But even then it’s not like a slider in a game where you provide more funding and things get done faster. There’s diminishing returns after a point. Not that I’m trying to discourage you, but I hope you’re thinking about it the right way before you waste a lot of time and money.

I suggest talking to actual researchers and asking them what they really need, and give them that. Basically the same as a startup going out and talking to customers. The only research probably being done around here is largely software related, and probably not changing the world much in ways that actually matter.
Because it's the first time you've seen JS lambdas, the "html`foo`" syntax, and/or JS string interpolation?

Are you just complaining about automatic updates? You can turn those off, or you can use linux, or you can build it into your workflow. These companies dont think your work is worthless, they just think that their upgrades are worth more, which frankly they probably are if it comes with security upgrades. They need to get better at dealing with upgrades, but interpreting their honest mistakes as some sort of war against you is a great way to accomplish nothing, theres no way to even have a conversation about this if they update your computer with security patches incorrectly and you respond with claims that they're flipping you the bird and think you are worthless.

Since the election isn't determined by popular vote, and hence candidates don't campaign with a strategy to earn the most votes, this is irrelevant to the outcome and by no means indication that Clinton would have won.
> indexing all open research with free unlimited access, similar to arxiv-sanity.com but better

This space is pretty crowded, in my opinion.

I don’t know much about biology, but I can tell you that in materials, it’s all about data. The materials design problem and predicting new materials comes down to knowing properties of other materials. A lot of progress has been made by using datasets generated by quantum mechanical calculations by the Materials Project, OQMD, AFLOW and NOMAD, but materials design is tricky because what we want to predict are the outliers that we haven’t seen yet: materials with the highest strength, etc..

There’s value to be created for materials researchers by curating experimental data in a digital, usable form, since so much is locked up in papers, but you really need domain expertise for this and there’s another problem that the experiments are so sparse and have so many features (chemistry, microstructure, thermal history, etc) that people have really only been successful when focusing on particular classes of materials.
They also introduced countless other things that are now standards. Do you call every attempt to experiment or make things better as"force down throats"? I find this attitude disigenuous and hypocritical.
A few years ago we were kayaking in Woods Lake (Arizona) and a naturalist told us that Eagle parents had just left the area, leaving behind their juvenile baby. This is normal behavior after parents have taught their offspring how to function. Anyway, the very young Eagle kept trying to catch a fish for about an hour until it snagged a small trout caught on just one talon. I quickly flew to shore looking like it was going to drop the fish and it looked like it eventually ate the entire fish. The same naturalist later told us that this initial 'being on their own' period is a bit dangerous for these young Eagles because they must catch sufficient food all on their own. Tough Eagle parent love.

I disagree. It's certainly not a fair comparison to look at these issues per capita. I should not be morally responsible for people that have way to many childrten with no regard for sustainability (be it environmental or economical).

Each country should be responsible to make their territory carbon neutral. If they have an high or low population density should be an irrelevant point.

To fix this, someone simply need to build a better browser. Chrome did this when they taking over IE domination. I'm not taking about new privacy conscious browser but something that me and many other people really care. Is it hard ? yes but chrome did it before.

Enterprise IT departments, for one. IT people hate having to install, maintain, update and troubleshoot desktop applications, for obvious reasons. It’s orders of magnitude easier to simply install the app on a web server and have users run it in their web browsers.
Arguably, JS should be methane, and HTML should be CO₂ - the gas that's an important building block of life, and to which methane eventually breaks down (after doing its thermal damage to the planet, of course).

(Then, web developers would be cows, and web fashion/standards would be food for said cows; unlike in real life, here we transitioned from algae-based food to whatever farmers shove into livestock today, making the cows start burping large amounts of methane in the process. NPM would be an open-air landfill.)

The data comes from weather stations all across the US, which I assume are managed or operated by NOAA. This project is at the World Meteorological Organization, an international organization of weather organizations - of which the NOAA is a member. Presumably this means it's official NOAA data.

With some minor effort you could extract the raw data, in JSON form, from https://www.wmo.int/cpdb/climate/climate_normal/per_country/...

If I remember correctly the data came from a CD-ROM with historical data. When we put it online the data was already 20 to 25 years old. It was nevertheless the most recent data that we had available, I don't remember the reason why we didn't have anything more recent. The PHP source is (or was) a CakePHP application, and honestly isn't that interesting. There was not more data in the PHP application than what is presented here.

EDIT: It was already a messy application when I got there, I cleaned it up as well as I could, but after I left it seems to have gone downhill again. Ah well. Not my problem anymore.
I think there's a lot of contradictions and circularity in your rationalizations here.

Obvious example: "your beliefs have in the past empowered violence against humans, you don't get to sit in the park with a megaphone and espouse them". Communist speech has "empowered violence against humans". If this was a guiding principle, you'd need to be a supporter of McCarthyist anti-Communist speech restrictions. But you're not; you're fine with May Day parades and communists in Hollywood. Which demonstrates that this isn't a guiding principle; it's a rationalization to harm your outgroup.

---

The way your beliefs go wrong is when words get expanded or shifted to apply to new things that they didn't before. E.g. you set up a rule where it's okay to commit aggressive/censorious acts against "Nazis". That's fine in 1944. But pretty soon, people who want to commit these acts anyway will just start using the word "Nazi" more and more broadly. This continues until 2019, when anyone supporting Bill Clinton's 1999 immigration policy is now considered a "Nazi", and thus fair game for all sorts of violence and censorship.

Same story with "oppression", "racism", "Islamophobia", "transphobia", and a whole vocabulary of other words specifically designed to terminate thought and justify aggression.

This pattern has happened over and over in history; it's at the root of countless tragedies, and I hope you'll reconsider how you're approaching these issues because otherwise there's a good chance you'll end up contributing, if only in a supporting/encouraging/justifying way, to some terrible historical crimes.
I would rather risk a small decrease in my standard of living today than cause a worldwide genocide within a few years.

You might be interested by "The Happiness-Energy Paradox: Energy Use is Unrelated to Subjective Well-Being".

Earth’s per capita energy use continues to grow, despite technological advances and widespread calls for reduction in energy consumption. The negative environmental consequences are well known: resource depletion, pollution, and global warming. However many remain reluctant to cut energy consumption because of the widespread, although, implicit, belief that a nation’s well being depends on its energy consumption. This article systematically examines the evidential support for the relationship between energy use and subjective well-being at the societal level, by integrating data from multiple sources, collected at multiple levels of government, and spanning four decades. This analysis reveals, surprisingly, that the most common measure of subjective well-being, life satisfaction, is unrelated to energy use -- whether measured at the national, state or county level.
