> Remember that only 100 companies are responsible for 71% of climate change.

That has to be one of the most misleading statistics I've ever heard. The source of this appears to be here[0], they are assigning all emissions of products to the source company. e.g. the emissions from the gas an individual uses is assigned to the company that pulled the oil out of the ground.

Software Engineer/CTO looking for a part time gig. I would like to work remotely few hours a week (depends on the project). I can write code but also do project management and lead a development team.

I can pick up new technologies pretty quick. Let's talk soon.
US Government agencies tailor bids to favor companies every single day. We call them "wired bids."

Government agencies are made up of people. Those people develop relationships with their providers, when they like them. They've been around long enough to have seen good providers and bad providers. When they find a good one, they hang on to them for a while.

Eventually someone above them shakes things up a little, and a new provider upsets the incumbent and takes over the work. After a few tries - or the first if they're lucky - they'll find another good provider, and the cycle starts over.

That's why bidding on a job isn't where the opportunity is won. You almost always win or lose the job before the solicitation is released. You win by building relationships with the people that make up these agencies. Do research, set up meetings, go talk to people, figure out what gives them heartburn, and develop a solution to their problems.

That solution becomes the framework for the new solicitation. You have then influenced the requirements. And congratulations, the bid has now been tailored to favor your company. You will probably win!
> Frequently this kind of expression is the result of solving an equation

Some time ago I’ve stopped solving equations, using software for that. Nowadays, when I need them solved, I sometimes don’t even write code, here’s an example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1351746/find-a-tangent-p...

Symbolic math software does more “optimizations” than even offline compilers. For example, I have never saw an optimizer which is aware that sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 = 1.
It looks like a Golf 2, which was a very very popular car here in Europe.
~70 years versus ~30 years, dying of cancer or old age vs. starvation or resource-motivated violence. They really are not comparable.
The interesting thing here is that I find many young engineers want to work on the newest tech, however, they also want the 10-5 schedule.

If you want to work on new and exciting, you have to be willing to own the consequences and stay up late digging into the bugs, learning the ins and outs, and committing to delivering what you said would be delivered. </endrant>

TLDR: If you want to work on interesting, it'll take more commitment.

Here's the original issue: https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/cloud-networking/19...

Not sure why they closed that one at 9:12 just to open a new one at 10:25. We didn't see any traffic coming to us-east1 during that time period so I would assume the original issue is still the root cause.
Fanny pack, ugly shirt, shorts with too many pockets, shoes (which look silly with shorts). Can spot the typical American tourist from a mile away. Euro tourists look a bit different, but still almost always dress the same as each other.

The gist of it is, tourists typically are carrying way more shit than they need and look silly more often than not. It's also nice to just walk around with the same amount of shit as you would if you were walking around your home city.
Yes. We have "customer personas" that we bucket companies into and allow custom rules on top of that... though we don't believe they're usually actually necessary.

Seriously, wild life matters much much more, pets have no benefit for the ecosystem, actually a negative impact

It's time to change lifestyles, pets, x-mas, makeup, .. all those unnecessary things

Edit: answering one of your reply, I knew about their pest control effect, they were also used in old Egypt times against snakes. Now 'residential' cats impact mostly birds, lizards, some insects probably, which all is very bad.

But the worse of their environmental impact is from their consumption (their food, healthcare, ..). It's less than of a human, but still significant. I don't know how many tonnes of pets food are produced every year, and how many kilometers of transport they do on average, ...
I didn't want to make the post even bigger and deal with other browsers but that's a good idea for a follow-up.
Isn't the benefit of React/Vue the shadowDOM and not needing to do full page prints with every change? Honest question, I'm just going off what I hear everyone else saying so the vanilla JS, while the code may be more efficient, sounds less efficient since you'll need to re-print the entire page with every change.
> No, the blog post was just an example of yet another attempt to halt the crucial work towards managing the current climate crisis, not an honest attempt at advancing science.

A really unfortunate reality of climate science is that it’s inextricably tied to the work of combatting climate change (if it exists). The normal scientific prices can’t work when any criticism of one set of results can be reframed in political terms.
That's a very market-centric viewpoint. I agree individuals should reduce their footprint, however govts and corporations are very thirsty for energy-hungry activities (military, infrastructure, not to mention subsidies/corruption) that the people themselves had no say in. Consumers are important, but many other factors drive carbon emissions, too.

Ideally, we'd just have a carbon tax on any emitting behavior, that way govts, corporations, and citizens alike are all incentivized to clean up their act.
Yeah I suspect that was it.

Oddly, I don't think a lot of this stuff really accounts for the complexities in air travel.

Like I literally couldn't rent certain types of cars ... and the no cars.... all in the name of saving money.

But I could take a taxi everywhere for 150% of the cost of car rental (at least) because you still had to get from A to B.

The end result was "don't check that box!" but any other box was ok even if it did the same thing or worse.

Fixed dimensions is also good for UX, it would suck trying to read a table changing 10x a second and seeing the columns shifting back and forth.
You have misunderstood the point. I'm not saying "stop creating new frameworks". Create anything you want, I don't care.

When I am talking about "settling down", I'm talking about the people that implement real systems for businesses to use. Those people have to make decisions on the technology they're pushing.

If those people can't settle on a stack and keep changing their minds on how to implement a user interface, somebody has to pay for that. This is akin to a "little fire" in a very real sense - it's burning money that could be used otherwise.

So telling me that "I don't have to use it" is besides the point. I don't run the whole show by myself. Developers need to be reasonably comfortable with their stack. If you are using <outdated stack X> but the whole industry is shifting towards <shiny new stack Y>, people will just quit on you.

The underlying cause of both companies' issues is the same, and it's not organizational size and style. It's complexity. Bugs and edge cases grow exponentially, not linearly, with complexity, and both Tesla's cars and the 737 MAX are far more complex than previous products.

It's similar to the "featureitis" that causes complex software products and platforms to crumble and die over time. Part of why we keep rewriting the universe in software is the need to repeatedly start over to escape a mountain of accreted complexity in some old system. At some point the cost of rewriting the parts we need is lower than the cost of just maintaining the bloat.

You can dive down and learn the inner workings, the same as you can dive down and learn how the svelte compiler works, but it's not needed for either one. Understanding the concept is more important.
The author does, explicitly, consider benign intentions. But beyond serving as a read receipt it also includes location data and timestamps for each 'read' which is much harder to consider as due to a benign intention (from the perspective of the recipients).

Other email clients support 'read receipts' without using tracking pixels. It's not impossible that Superhuman chose to use tracking pixels for a good reason, but I can't think of one and I haven't read of one either.
Point free form? Ditch your variable names.

Do you have sources to back up the claim that these people left because of safety or ethical concerns?

From what I've heard, it's a grueling job working long hours and that people get burned out pretty quickly, which is a different issue from saying there are legal, safety, or ethical concerns.

Part of the problem is that many people who are on the right side of climate change support efforts to combat climate change because they’re also in favor of a “global society” and “social cooperation.” If world government isn’t your cup of tea, then the harm isn’t asymmetric. If we’re wrong about climate change, we will have constructed these global, top-down structures that will stamp out what little autonomy and freedom people have left.
Tesla's cars are a heck of a lot less complex than normal ICE vehicles considering that they lack a transmission and emissions system.

Edit: Fanboys, this isn't an insult, it's a statement of fact. An EV simply doesn't have all the additional mechanical, electrical and software complexity that comes with those systems.
There must exist a point where it becomes unethical to have children.
Now that Tesla have broken ground there are a lot of electric car startups. So these people are in demand.
Looks good! Kubernetes has historically been a huge pain to deal with; If this smooths out the process I might use it for my next project.
What email client loads images by default in 2019? I've used Thunderbird for years and I am pretty sure it has been disabled for a long time, Outlook at work doesn't load anything outside of the firm's domain, and I also remember big news on HN from a while ago saying gmail will start to proxy images which should prevent these things from working.

Tracking pixels are so widespread that surely it must work, so what do people use to view their emails?!
Spoilers, people. ;)

Cory Doctorow has often said that good sci-fi doesn't predict the future so much as anticipate the present.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that Cryptonomicon came out in 1999. While there were early cryptocurrencies that all went nowhere, Stephenson was a good decade ahead of the BTC paper.

It could also be argued that his particular focus on the obliteration of sensitive emails being kept on private servers was unnervingly prescient, too.
It says the devices were unlocked then the device was connected. I would assume the device is in the custody of the Chinese authority at this point. Thus, they can just go into Settings and trust the cert.

Fun, interesting, you learn stuff, what's not to like?
Actually you need ventilation also for the actual humans.

A common "standard" for mines/tunnelling is:

3 Cubic meters/minute per worker

4 cubic meters/minute per diesel HP (calculated on the max power output of the engines)

Electric vehicles (battery powered) are usually not considered as they normally represent a fraction of the power involved in the construction/digging.

The large machines that are electrically powered (via cable/wire) are not included as they do not produce exhaust fumes nor particles/vapours, but they may be considered in some cases for the amount of heat they produce.
Where did the truism "you can't stop the progress of science" come from in the first place? I think we're going to have to reexamine it pretty soon.

> There's no question that Amazon and Google are the most capable (perhaps the only viable) choices for a contract of this scope. But giving them 10 billion dollars and relative corporate invinciblity (Amazon will not go under unless the US government decides so/collapses) is just exacerbating the problem.

it may be exacerbating a problem within the FTC’s domain of responsibility for market competition, but defense (or government more generally) procurement, even in an ideal world , would not involve systematic accommodation for providers less capable of delivering the requirements.

> A government concerned with preserving the free market (and thus the prosperity/happiness of their citizens) should be stimulating smaller competitors

A government concerned with maintaining free markets will, by definition, buy things from the market based on most cost effective fit for needs, not choosing which vendors should be promoted on other grounds.

What you are suggesting may be promoting some concept of healthy markets at the direct expense of free markets by direct government intervention, but it's not helping free markets.
I don't think it's like that at all. I just sent my self an email from a gmail account, yahoo account and outlook live account. Not one of them included my IP address in the headers. I think your information is a bit out of date.
This is quite timely, as I'm just about to finish Neal Stephenson's new novel: Fall, or Dodge In Hell. https://n.pr/30EFA4l

That story revolves around scanning the brains of deceased humans into a computer simulation. Initially this technology is only available as a "get out of jail" card for rich people, as the scanning process and subsequent ops costs of running the simulation are, well, astronomical. Eventually the process is dumbed down to the level of a certain kind of "life insurance", and many more dead people join the simulation. That's when the floodgates open for real. I know I run the risk of spoiling the story, but I'll just say that this is one way the singularity can get started.
Apologies for being negative, but... Is it just me or does it look like a bad abstraction trying to solve a problem that was created by SQL not being direct enough in the first place?

I had been working with a couple billion-row-scale PostgreSQL setups and trying to please query planner was sometimes a project in itself. Many times I just wished I could specify an algorithm on my own instead of having SQL interpreted as one plan for one variable, but as another if I replace it. Did anyone else have a similar impression?

Hi HN! We've been impressed with the response here. Y'all must love travel.

If you use Slack and want to get started using Carry for your team, we've created a temporary link while we're on the front page to go ahead and install Carry. Here's the flow:

- Go to https://carry.travel/hnpromo

- Select your team's workspace in the top right

- For "Post to", select "Slackbot" or anything (this step is annoying, sorry-- we'll fix)

- Click "Install" (You may have to ask an administrator depending on your settings)

- Send a _direct message_ to @Carry on Slack saying anything

If your team uses another platform or wants to get in touch, schedule a demo (under the request access button, https://carry.travel/) or email tejas [at] carry [dot] travel, and we'll be in touch.

Bad News About Those Constant Campaign Emails–They Work
I guess the final question, and I forgot to address this in my initial comment, is whether or not consciousness can function with this set up at all.

My bet is that insanity will creep in almost no matter what we do. Like the theories on if we got rid of sleep. Our consciousness might have developed in a way that requires a type of balance that eternal life doesn't afford.

Even if you did some memory stuff, would the constant thread of consciousness be able to maintain over time?

I don't know but I'm 100% sure there are people willing to find out!
