There is a plan which, surprisingly perhaps, came before the headlines, and it's pretty well thought out. The cross party Committee on Climate Change has been working on a plan for a few years, see updates here:

The 2050 net zero report, was published 6 weeks back:

Which led to the Chancellor saying pft, too expensive last month, and Theresa "committing" to it this month. Though she immediately backed away from simply adopting the report and muttered something about carbon offsets (avoiding the issue).

I agree. To get anything but the most superficial understanding of someone's problems is going to take a huge investment in time, that's what therapists get paid to do with varying levels of success. It's a very real cost to actually understand someone. I think it's very difficult to even understand yourself and your own actions, and that's with a lifetime of first hand experiences.

I say indirect because I do not see any evidence of any firm hiring this way...yes MS has stories of hiring someone based on CS or Math level skills BUT we are at a place in time where in fact due to emphasis on UX and cognitive science where Liberal Arts skills is a more important gauge of learning abilities when facing new frameworks and challenges.

Actually, I think it's worse than that. If it were all about making money for shareholders, they would have made sure this PR nightmare (which will likely result in many lost sales) didn't happen. The long term monetary incentive is to avoid crashes.

The more fundamental problem is that corporations are run by people who, mostly, care more about themselves than the company they are running, and more about this year than the future. Boeing needed to suck it up and accept a couple years' poor sales, in order to get an effective competitor to Airbus' latest. In the long run, or even the medium run, this would give the best monetary results, as well as save lives.

But, it would mean bad financial results this year and next year, and the corporate business environment is biased against that. If the CEO makes decisions which give worse results this year and next, but better results later, he will not be around in his job to enjoy those better results. So, he optimizes for the near term, and rolls the dice (with other people's lives).

The biggest exception to this would be companies where the CEO is the founder, who usually has the ability to retain his job through a bad year or two.

Of course, the CEO should have made the right decision anyway, and accepted the consequences, because people's lives are at stake and anyway it's not like he would starve if he got fired next year. But, if we're talking about incentives and conflicts of interest, that's the real issue, not money vs. lives (because both point in the same direction, of making the plane safe), but short term vs. long term and CEO vs. the company as a whole.
If it's connected via HDMI you can actually do that. There's a package called ddccontrol. For example, here is my code to toggle my 4th monitor between hdmi and displayport (hooked up to desktop or hooked up to a client laptop - this also switches out my synergy config at the same time later in the toggle script).

CURRENT=$(sudo ddccontrol -r 0x60 dev:/dev/i2c-3 | tail -1)

if [[ $CURRENT == *"+/15/3"* ]]; then
sudo ddccontrol -r 0x60 -w 17 dev:/dev/i2c-3
else
sudo ddccontrol -r 0x60 -w 15 dev:/dev/i2c-3
fi

By passing other parameters you can control brightness, volume, power, etc.
I remember, back in my university days, being somewhat loosely involved with the "POPsource" (Prince of Persia source code recovery). The team drove down to Jordan Mechner's place with a DiscFerret and a bunch of other magnetic media reading gear.

Given that DiscFerret was "new on the scene" at that point, that was pretty fun to watch (from my seat on the other side of the pond). Shame Wired didn't bother to get the facts right and their editor wasn't concerned (in the slightest) with fixing the mistakes!

Still, it was mindblowing to be even a minor part of that.

(Only saying "the team" because I can't remember the names of all involved, and I'd rather not risk missing someone out)

I too got 0.1 even though I'm not on a VPN, and have a stock FF installation with just uBlock addon. I think my ISP may have some part in it but still 0.1 score is 100% bot right?

I'm also logged into google and fb which also doesn't affect my score. Only shows how broken their algorithm is :(

edit: just tried it with chrome and my score jumped to 0.9! So definitely not my ISP. It's just my browser that Recaptcha doesn't like. If you put two and two together that's really evil shit, even for Google!

I'd like to know HN opinion on using the first form to pull in and display a pre-selected identification image or statement. Basically to show the user something associated with their account that a phishing site would not have access to, before they've typed in their password.

This checkbox is extra confusing because it enables 2FA for all users. I'm not sure how everyone else gets credentials when you do that, so I unchecked it after I figured out what I had done. Luckily, I kept the credentials in my 2FA app because someone else later re-checked it.
I have the same experience, some pages don't work on FF but fine on Chrome. I like to apply Occam's Razor, but with so many users it seems to me as if that's either by design, or certainly there is little desire to fix the issue.
The new thinkpads are not very repairable at all, especially the thin ones like the X1 Carbon. Even the T490 is terrible in this aspect, and it's not a super thin ultrabook.

Awk is kinda my new favorite scripting language.
I've been using it for the master's thesis I'm writing and am amazed at how quickly I can script in it. And how easy it was to learn.
From the beginning out results-visualisation pipeline of awk+gnuplot was just supposed to be a quick hack to get something we could look at but it has kept up the whole thesis through and just been extended and made better instead of switching. We still use python when we need some lib help to get some data right but damn it goes quick to handle well structured data with awk. Sad I didn't learn it earlier.
I really like Dan and have been following his stuff since the mid-2000s, but it's hard to apply this advice generally.

#2 and #3 are only effective if you're Dan Cederholm. He already had a reputation which put him in a very luxurious position to essentially choose his first users and have them actually use it. The same goes for #3 – imagine if all of the "people you want on your platform" got tshirts and postcards from every startup that wanted them?

Probably with a good lens.
I see multiple complaints about breaking password manager workflows, but Keepass has allowed me for years to use any simulated input sequence for credentials.

I have many passwords configured with:

1. Type username
2. Type <ret>
3. Pause 750ms
4. Type password
5. Type <ret>

Some need an extra tab in there to give the password field focus for input. I have a short template for this, so I can just copy-paste the input sequence into any new password.

If I sign out of my google account in Chrome it drops from 0.9 to 0.7.

I could have sworn I'd never signed in to Chrome using my google account, but I guess I must have mistakenly signed in to gmail or something.

I use FF as my main browser, only ever drop back to Chrome sporadically, or when I really want tabs to be completely isolated (there are some annoyingly CPU/power intensive stuff I do from time to time, and I can just renice Chrome while I get on with other stuff.)
I seem to recall X.400/X.500 did a lot of work on how to represent names.

Well the deeper problem may be that both mapping directions are impossible. No one has proved that natural languages can be fully represented in a Turing machine, eh? In other words, ASCII is not an encoding of English. It's a fluke (or perhaps a prerequisite) that a file of bytes can represent as much of English as it does.

Have you considered using AWS EC2 Spot Instances? The price can be 50 to 70% cheaper.

You would have to add some additional reliability to your pipeline so it could continue processing when instances are unexpectedly terminated. But this might be well worth it as it sounds like your research group is cost-constrained.

AWS made some changes this year so the spot prices are more stable and instances don't get shut down as frequently.

It appears the Court is not satisfied with the State's criteria/legal reasoning to justify justicable action against the districting plans. They hold the measure must be politically neutral, and have some basis in being legally addressed.

They go at length to describe circumstances to describe cases with inherent justicability (districting along racial demographics), but offer no hints or grasps as to a measure of degree at which political gerrymandering becomes "excessive".

It looks like Maryland attempted to use "likelihood of persistence" of the gerrymandered district, but this was dismissed on allowability based on previous precedent. "Intent" was also singled out in a couple different wordings, but did not hold satisfactorally for the Court.

Of particular concern was of the Federal Courts to support State Court's particular measures on what constitutes excessive gerrymandering. It seems the Court is nudging State populations to appeal to the Federal Legislature to oversee malconduct in individual State districting. I find this concerning, seeing as our Federal Legislature has enough on it's plate with getting things passed, and the last thing we want is to start having the different levels trying to micromanage each other.

I can sort of see some tiny speck of Wisdom in their judgement. I don't necessarily find it satisfying, but I have to grudgingly admit they at least reasoned it out.

First sign of the author's confusion:

>a square of copper two millimeters on a side has the same resistance as a square of copper ten millimeters on a side. It’s counter-intuitive.

The phenomenon is perfectly intuitive for anyone who understands DC resistance of metals, and the geometric assumptions of the "sheet resistance" thought experiment.

Resistance is proportional to conducter length divided by cross-sectional area. For a sheet conductor, cross-sectional area is thickness times width. A necessary assumption, unstated in the article, is that the hypothetical test circuit somehow makes perfect, uniform electrical contact over the entirety of both of the sheet's chosen "width" edges.

Google consistently gives me the impression of a company that (I suppose) has tons of smart people in it, but has badly broken management & incentive structures leading them to constantly do bafflingly stupid stuff at both large and small scales, even by the standards of a bigcorp, to the point that they survive only because they've got one hell of a golden goose.

Ask HN: How do you flag features in your codebase?
I am an engineering manager at a 30 person startup in New York. Recently, we found a last minute bug in our code as we were preparing a deployment for our biggest client. This happened on a Friday after everyone left, so I begun to message each engineer individually (9 staffed on this project) to track down the source of the bug and figure out a solution. Luckily, it only took an hour to figure out where the bug was occurring and which engineer had originally developed the code for it.
This ordeal made me think about a better way to manage dependancies in code - specifically, some system to keep track of WHO has special knowledge about a specific feature in our codebase.

At any given moment, I have a general idea of who is working on what, but I don't know who is working on what parts, i.e. Bob and Charlie might both be working on a billing system together, but I don't know which one of them is working on the DB models and which one is working on the Stripe API.

Git Blame is a theoretical solution to this problem, but it is only useful once I have isolated a bug to a specific point in the code. Ideally, I would like a Git Blame-like system at the repo level so that I (and my non-technical colleagues) can quickly track down which engineers are responsible for specific features in my codebase.

How do people manage this process in their organizations?

Fun fact: the original Assassin's Creed game was originally a sequel to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time called Prince of Persia: Assassin. In the original concept, you protected the prince instead of playing the prince himself, playing in an open-world environment.

Ubisoft didn't like the idea of not playing the prince himself, so they spun it out into a separate property and came up with all the other plot points (genetic memory and Assassins vs. Knights Templar).
