The time scale for wisening up is measuring in years, probably 5-10 years minimum, maybe more. People and societies take a while to clue in and adapt. It will happen though. Mass social media use is a relatively new thing.

Deepfakes wont be any more challenging to deal with than the struggle for accurate information in the pre-TV, or even pre-print days. People will learn to look for reputable sources, and propaganda will keep trying to trick people in new ways.

Beyond geopolitical concerns - as the tech becomes more widespread and easier to use, to the point where teenagers start using it to punk one another, no one will believe anything they see, hear or read ever again without an extremely robust digital provenance system (and who built that system? are they to be trusted? does it rely on intrusive measures? etc)

It's great the developers and researchers are taking pause - this is great tech that could be used positively and creatively in so many areas - and with any new tech comes pain from misuse.

If history is anything to go by, legislation is likely catch up slightly too late to stop the cultural impact, be overly broad, drag in a lot of relatively harmless outliers, undermine the positive use-cases and won't deter dedicated high-stakes bad actors.
Yes, we tend to follow the science here, rather than parrot any political party.
> Why would the ISP's network deliver a packet to the customer despite that packet having an IP address that doesn't match the IP address the customer leased?

It wouldn't under normal circumstances, but could in the case of a misconfiguration or a malicious actor.

> Does this require an adversary who is or who compromises the ISP, possibly by tapping into the coax/fiber/etc in the last mile or by pwning the related nodes?

Most likely. I also don't consider the scenario likely, because most NATs/firewalls are stateful in this day and age and if the ISP is compromised the attacker could also use TR-069 to upgrade the firmware on the custormer's router and place a malicious implant⁰.

My interpretation is it was a half-joke to test if management were serious about allowing anything.

Under the upcoming "investment" system they can even argue the line in the news article deserves a dividend...
Individuals would survive, but everyone could excuse their own bad behaviour with "I'm not in charge of myself, it's not me who's making this decision to rob/rape/kill etc.", which would lead to decline of society and, eventually, civilization.
No it doesn't.

The article refers to CO2 emissions. Nothing to see here.
In my experience, VCs are friendly, honest, helpful and understanding — and they absolutely will adjust their offers depending on whether you have time to shop around for better offers before you have to start laying off people or even closing altogether.
Because somehow the search function on SE mostly sucks. I tried a couple of times (especially when flagging duplicates) and it's really hard. I usually just revert to Google or ddg.
And you have compromises. Windows sucks as a tablet OS.
19% is the regular value added tax in Germany. Almost everything is taxed at that rate. Luxury tax is a thing but not in Germany. There is no luxury tax in Germany. There are a very few exceptions for some goods that are taxed at a lower rate. These are by and large basic necessities, public transport and copyrighted works. Books are one example of the last category, but books also have a mandatory fixed book price [1], so their price is not determined by supply and demand.

Probably a good analogy. And it's also incredibly slow so you need to have a good amount of RAM and CPU cache.
I think Casey hit the nail on the head here. We used to have hardware with standardized ABIs, some of which had extensions (like Tandy graphics compared to CGA). That made it relatively trivial to make OSs, which is what PC booter games did really. DOS itself barely abstracted anything at all, because you didn't need drivers for standardized hardware ABIs.

Unfortunately the only way to deal with that is to give up on the idea of running on a majority of existing PC hardware and target only a small subset of commodity hardware. Ideally it would all be open, to ensure it isn't going anywhere for a while, but sadly there is no such system.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks Users and Groups are the wrong abstraction for systems like this.
It doesn't perform well on my Mac.
No hw accelerated video (and still kinda slow) when I run Linux.

I've tried multiple times, and as much as I like what Mozilla is doing for privacy on the web, I keep coming back to Chromium.
OEMs had no choice, it was either that deal or they wouldn't be able to sell Microsoft OS licenses at all - this was something Microsoft did since the DOS days and they took advantage of their position as the #1 OS provider for IBM PC and the clones. A PC that cannot run DOS and later Windows would be worthless.
I am a web dev and react debug console matters a lot to me but on FF it does this weird scroll to the top thing every time I switch file tabs. And it’s in general buggy. Now it may have to do with the plugin dev but if you want to be a viable platform, dudes need to be writing good software on top.
I love the promise of FF and would want to make it my dev browser but using Chrome out of sheer necessity.
This workplace sounds super un-chill.
I already addressed an app crashing every time it loads in another comment.

My point wasn’t you can deliver an app that does nothing and succeed.

My point was bugginess is not what kills most start ups. Lack of bugginess is not a moat. Your competitors will not automatically fail because your app is the most stable one.
Then what else is it about?
But perhaps they wish companies became independent of the Federal Reserve, and more in control of the value of their own currency, both in terms of exchange rates and the ends to which they can be used or not.
This wasn’t like they hacked into the network so they could deface a website or pop up a “You’ve been hacked!” message on the machines.

Recall the Iranian attack on Saudi banks which encrypted 30,000 desktops and destroyed the backups?

The implication is that the attack caused permanent or difficult to repair damage to the systems. There is a quote that they expect it to take months to bring everything back online.
Sigh.

OK moorhosj, let's try to step through this.

What does that have to do with Chicago's life expectancy disparity being 30 years? Are you saying then, that what we should really be doing is comparing the life expectancy of people in Chinatown, with people in Chinatown, instead of comparing people across your whole city?

Because what I'm trying to explain to you guys is that, this is not how the rest of us outside Chicago think. If you were to ask me, I would say, yeah, it seems totally reasonable to compare life expectancies across the entire city of Madison for instance. (I'm from Wisconsin.) I'd wager if you'd ask someone from Nebraska, they'd say, "Yeah, it seems reasonable to compare life expectancies for people across the entire city of Lincoln." We're not coming up with some off the wall metric to try to make Chicago look bad here.

You and this "jostmey" guy are doing that for us.

Finally, look, for the average person, we see a black guy, we're gonna say he's black. Not "Two or more races". Not "Black with hispanic origin". Etc etc etc. So, going back to the original point, we didn't get hung up on that stuff 3 decades ago. In 70, 80,90, whatever, we, even the census,just called people black. (Maybe we might have called them mixed if they were mixed, but that's certainly not how our censuses would have counted them back then.) So, you throw the 2 or more ethnicities or whatever group in and you get, what? 33, 34% of what we in 1980 would have simply called "black"? I'd be willing to bet money that the two or more races / hispanic census stuff started right around the same time that the percentage of blacks in the census declined.

Point being, these ratios aren't really changing much. Only society's definitions of what is black has changed. Maybe that's good, maybe that's bad, maybe that's neither? The point I'm making is that demographics aren't changing much from 80, 90, 00 whatever. At least racially. Fewer total people, yes. But the ratios seem to be relatively constant. Now if you go back further, obviously you get radical change. But the original post said "last three decades". So you have to look at the last 3 decades, and not cherry pick.
First real benefit I guess. Yeah that's nice. Not worth it for me personally though.
There is definitely a point in a framework with strong structure where it becomes easier to read the code than google the problem. But if you aren't working on a single codebase for a while you are definitely better off with google on your side.

Some frameworks are written in a way that makes reading the code a pain in the ass too, with generation, magic methods, annotations and other meta coding techniques that turn conventions into code. In those cases even if you have a really niche problem google may still be faster than delving into the dark depths of non-code.

For js and js-adjacent technologies or libraries, there sometimes aren't any references to speak of, unfortunately. You're supposed to divine the information you need from task-oriented texts and code snippets.

The overlap is less than 2% of the total man made CO2 emissions.

Processing and transportation of animal products is 6% of the meat production emissions. Feed production also involves transportation, that would add maybe half of that (3%).

From the github README:

snmalloc is a research allocator. Its key design features are:

- Memory that is freed by the same thread that allocated it does not require any synchronising operations.

- Freeing memory in a different thread to initially allocated it, does not take any locks and instead uses a novel message passing scheme to return the memory to the original allocator, where it is recycled.

- The allocator uses large ranges of pages to reduce the amount of meta-data required.

Details about snmalloc's design can be found in the accompanying paper[OP]. Differences between the paper and the current implementation are described here[0].

Absolutely. Reducing the plume of soot belching over the North Pole, blackening our ice fields would be a good, useful and achievable start.

Personally, I hate SUVs because they are really shitty cars. Heavy, high center of gravity, high consumption, ugly (IMO), not even much storage space.
Because it's hard. Seriously. Go somewhere dry and grab a handful of dirt that contains no macroscopic biomass. A construction site with a big mound of just-exhumed dirt, maybe. Now... prove it's got "life" in it. I mean, it surely does, right? How do you do that?

You could try throwing it under a microscope, but environments like that have very few actual organisms per mass. You're looking for a needle in a haystack of tiny rocks.

One way that does work is that you take it to a lab, treat it appropriately to extract the soluble DNA or RNA and then dump the results into a giant PCR machine to sequence whatever comes out. The reaction amplifies whatever might be there, so you're guaranteed to get a partial sequence, which you can then match to a database of known organisms and see if you found anything new. In fact this is a real technique and new microbes are discovered regularly doing this.

Now put all that stuff on a 1000kg spacecraft.

The point is that you don't just "design a spacecraft to answer the question of whether there is life on Mars today". It's expensive, and you have to match your science to your budget. These instruments looking for biochemistry are a valid and useful first step.
Trees rotting produces compost and over time soil, soil which ultimately contains organic carbon. Perhaps overtime the organic carbon from the original tree is entirely gassed into the air somehow, but in the meantime you've been growing a second, third, and forth. Growing and composting plants does contribute to the sequestration of carbon and more importantly prevents methane production.
Virtualized environments are akin to using a separate and worse computer, just with the same keyboard, mouse and monitor. You cannot, e.g., copy/paste an image from a host app to a native app and back (or if you can it isn't as seamless).
Bugs get missed in testing because developers can't anticipate all the ways users can break it. That is why beta testing exists.

There are also bugs that are rare and take lots of effort to fix. You can first see how often that bug actually occurs in the wild before prioritizing it.

Sometimes it never occurs or if it does happen, the user can recover from it easily so it doesn't break your product.

> By the time W95 was out on the market P5 was the latest and greatest and a 486 was the low budget one. You might want to reconsider those memories.

Maybe the 486 was the low end of what you could buy at the time, but not everyone bought a new computer. My parents upgraded their 386 from Windows 3.1 to 95. It was slow, but usable.
Calcining will release CO2 from the lime plus CO2 from the fuel to heat it. Only the former will be reabsorbed over time.

And if the timescales are long enough the absorbtion still wouldn't bring you to net-zero because during the time the CO2 in the atmosphere it participated in positive feedback loops.

I suspect Google Search can no longer function as well as it once did without being informed by everything Google knows about you (malicious use of SEO might very well be the reason). You could try fiddling with the privacy settings in your account, especially if you blocked anything (edit: or remove privacy protections from your web browser), and see if that makes it better. I just use DDG for most things these days.

My personal definition of the term startup is "A relatively new business in search of a business model."

In many cases, this search requires venture capital but in some it doesn't.

A startup can very well be a lifestyle business. For example, I'd consider many of the companies listed on Indie Hackers to be startups. Only a minority of those has taken venture capital.

Missile interceptions with lasers isn't easy, and if you have two working lasers for interception, the adversary can always try firing four missiles at once.
on top of what others have said, continuing to put the onus on average individuals to stop climate change is not only insulting but also counter-productive. most of us who are educated about the issues are already doing what little we can to help. while the poor are just trying to survive in a more and more unequal world. and none of that has worked. it's time for the rich and powerful to step up, time for governments and corporations to start looking past their narrow self-interest. but apparently that's not going to happen.
People are considering that, but there’s the secondary challenge that food becomes harder to grow in that kind of scenario.
Right, so you mean everything outside "the west" never have any legitimate grievances and can thus be denied a voice in the name of protecting democracy?

Further, ignoring the global nature of the internet when it comes to the governance of it seems simply unwise, and is very clearly a political decision in itself and not neutral.

It is also clearly illiberal to explicitly deny agency to a multitude of affected stakeholders that have been allowed to join the network, despite their dirty track record.
I want to question this.
Sure there are many things where a google search brings up a better solution than the own spontaneous one (for example path finding algorithms for games).
But every problem beyond a trivial ‘getting started’ needs more thought than an algorithm one can copy and paste from google. Even if it’s only the glue code to bring all parts together or transferring the knowledge to the problem trying to solve.
Also what others already mentioned about noisy search results: Deciding which of the (hundreds of) possible solutions might bring the desired outcome is an engineering skill.
Another thing: When googling the same issue for the third time one should question why he has not memorized it by now (e.g. syntax of commonly used bash commandos etc.). And by internalizing one gets better as engineer every day without relying on google.

My first PC was bought with DR-DOS 5.0 on it, and at high school we were using a mix of MS-DOS 3.3 and PC-DOS.

Plus the market for Atari and Amiga was still kind of strong, before the respective companies started going astray with their business decisions.

And to make it actual, most Web devs have a choice, yet they decide to put Google in power with their Chrome-only focus in name of convenience.
realistically there is no way to "offset" carbon emissions today. there are plenty of people that will take your money, but to date they can be considered at best beta tests, not functioning solutions.

your choice is to vote hard environmentalist, agitate hard for immediate change, stop flying and stop driving and stop eating red meat.

I want to move on from Chrome, and Firefox's Containers have made Firefox an easy decision for me. But I am a huge fan of Chrome's aesthetic and don't want to give that up for the sake of privacy.

I am not one to do extensive tweaking to my machine, but this is important to me, so I spent an hour experimenting. And I have to say, I am pretty satisfied. Even though it isn't straightforward, Firefox actually can look nice and uncluttered.

If you're like me and want both privacy and aesthetics, here are some pointers:

- Switch to the light theme.
- Hide everything you can in the address/nav bar by clicking through the UI. Some settings are obscure, but you can get rid of a lot.
- Hide even more using userChrome.css [0], including the outdated blue bar at the top of an active tab.

My userChrome.css looks like this and works like a charm: https://gist.github.com/iamdamian/9efc271208bfb5ca52dc51572b...

Yeah, we're gonna need to start being a little clearer about what we mean by "pollution", or comparisons become meaningless. Is a ton of CO2 better or worse than 100g of mercury?
