Reminds me of some old maths software we had to use in school which only ran in 'IE 6 or higher', but if you used IE 8 or above it would report the same 'use IE 6 or higher' message and not let you use the software. That software was also the only way to check whether your answers to the practise questions in the corresponding textbook were correct, which made revision pretty painful.
I keep saying this and getting downvoted for it, but there isn't any magic bullet technology fix. Even if commercial fusion were magically deployed at scale today, there's still too much CO2 in the air, still too many petrol vehicles on the road.

So, the person copy pasting shouldn’t do that, but....I would expect the volume of climate stories to get larger, not smaller.

The issue is growing in urgency and severity. By social convention people treat it like any other issue, but it drawfs anything else in terms of the scale of the problem.

So it’ll remain relevant to the forum, which tends to do a better joh weighting things based on importance. That said the discussions likely verge on repetitive.
I think what you're failing to consider (in the particular case of pharma) is the case where government doesn't dictate prices, but limits patents to reasonable maximum terms and only offers reimbursement for the cheapest market alternative.

The limitation in patent durations would disallow corporations milking old inventions and would incentivise them to keep innovating. It would also allow more competition, because the formulas end up in the public domain quicker, enabling actual market efficiency through improving production processes and so on. Parallels could be drawn to the entertainment and software sectors.

Stimulating the lowest market price would counteract predatory tenfold price hikes by allowing competitors to produce a generic variant at reasonable prices and outcompeting the bad behaviour.

The current regulatory framework incentivises big conglomarates to be anti-consumer because that's where the money lies. At the end of the day, we're talking about people's health.
As a developer I’d love to know how I could use my skills to help the environment. I feel like I remember seeing some topics on HN discussing this very thing but I can’t find any with a simple search.

You can't, because "man cannot live off bread alone". Wheat lacks many basic nutrients that meat contains. Calories are not fungible - you can live off meat essentially indefinitely (especially if you eat the organ meat), but you'll rapidly a nasty case of iron deficiency and scurvy if you try to live off wheat.

I feel this fact is often omitted from naive assessments of food efficiency. It's not nitpicking, it's a fundamental law - bioaccumulating reasonable levels of nutrient density will always take more energy that just building up raw calories. Vegans need to eat fatty, nutrient-dense plants like nuts and avocados to survive - these foods invariably have a much worse environmental footprint to wheat. I'd be interested to see comparative estimates of the impact of a "careless vegan" who eats exotic, problematic foods versus a "conscientious meat eater", who only eats locally sourced pasture-raised livestock.

I'd like to know as well.

I've got [capslock] mapped to [control] via system prefs already, and I'm not willing to give that up. As a Vim user, that puts me in a quandary for how to deal with the [escape] key should I ever move to a touchbar MBP, and is one of the reasons I'm still typing this on a 2012 MBPr. I live inside Vim all day every day.
I desperately hope this is true. I have the first MacBook Pro that came with the Touch Bar, and it's the worst computer I've ever owned. The keyboard has failed twice, and the Touch Bar is inferior to the old hardware keys in every way. I hate it. The only reason I got it is because the MacBook Air it replaced was dying and I couldn't wait any more. Assuming this report is true, my only remaining worry is that they won't offer a version of this new Pro without a Touch Bar, or that only a model with a smaller display will offer hardware function keys, like they've done in the past.
That's because their prices are ridiculously high. Sure, I want access to NY Times. But maybe I'll read 1-2 articles per day. Not the whole damn paper. Same for any other site.

While not me personally my brother is doing his best. He has been studying glaciers and their recession and surges to try and understand a bit more for the (worsening) predictions. Part of this has been sample collecting and some very interesting analysis of the results in R combined with GIS satellite images that have been captured over time.

Unfortunately he has been struggling to find work other than research and so I stepped in to try and help. I would be very interested to hear from anybody who has found gainful employment working to save the environment, especially if they are working in the IT/Geospatial sector.
There was no new checklist. (Arguably, this may be a problem.)

The existing checklist was unchanged from other 737s and the required actions were all "memory items" (items which must be recalled and implemented by the crew from memory, prior to referencing and completing the written checklist in the QRH). Any 737 crewmember would have had to have demonstrated those checklist items, from memory, prior to receiving their type-rating to fly the jet. Runaway trim is a "no joke" event in nearly any type and is a memory item in any type I'm familiar with.

The Ethiopian Air crew seemed to correctly diagnose the issue, got the aircraft somewhat under control and then, in an attempt to fix the trim issue, undid the corrective checklist item, ran the trim aircraft-nose-up using the thumb switch (so far, excellent!!) and then, inexplicably, left the stab trim power enabled without commanding further aircraft-nose-up. So, they diagnosed the issue, initially did all the right things, then undid them [with good reason], then failed to re-do them.

(I agree that Boeing still wears a lot of blame here. It's just not the case that the crews were helpless and unaware passengers.)
Yeah, I was very sceptical about both the keyboard and the touch bar until I actually got a new MBP for work. Now it's my favorite keyboard. Less effort pushing the keys seem to always mean swifter typing.

Waiting to replace my 2013 MBP someday... it has been wonderful (it has the old keyboard style) but please Apple, make it soon.
Bought an item that was supposed to be Prime and it apparently wasn’t.
> the news story you linked about outsized MBP sales was before the keyboard scandal hit the press.

Even then, there was similar snarfle about Apple "failing" when the new Touch Bar redesign was first revealed, where a few handful of people were opting to speak on everyone's behalf, saying that the new MBPs will flop and nobody will buy them.

Then again, this has been going on for over 20 years:

Yes, by "band asking the bar to play for free (i.e. the producer going to the advertiser)" I mean the band are the producers of the product, and the band are initiating a transaction with the bar who are the advertiser for that product. The only time I'd expect the transaction to be initiated the other way around, i.e. the bar going to the band, would be when the power dynamic was inverted, e.g. it was a less well known bar asking a more famous band to play there to try to attract custom to the bar, but in that case I would expect the band to be asking for payment not offering to play for free, and in doing so they would effectively switch roles, i.e. the band would take on something of an advertiser's role and the bar becomes more like the product that is being advertised, in which case I think the original point about it normally being the producers of a product initiating transactions with the advertisers of the product rather than the other way around would remain.

If a gaming magazine reviews a game they didn't pay for, or what about car reviewers buying cars they didn't pay for. These are generally referred to as journalism.

So I not sure its completely black and white.
So if I interpret you correctly, by "working on fixing the environment" you mean tech projects? I don't want to dismiss anyone's efforts but I have become convinced that believing in technological solution to the environment/climate problem at this stage is just another form of denial. We already have all the technology we can use in the short/medium term, and we don't have time for the long term fundamental breakthroughs any more. Improved energy efficiency won't help either[0]

We need fundamental cultural and policy change. The question is how to achieve it. Despite popular believe I don't think voting matters. Think about any significant societal change in the last century or so. Women suffrage, civil rights movement, anti-war movement, gay rights. None of these were initiated by the parliament. They all started as a popular rebellion and direct action.

So what are we to do.

- Change your lifestyle. Less flying, driving, meat.

- Divest fossil

- Get out of the techno bubble and get your hands dirty with direct action and civil disobedience. e.g. [1]

I still don't understand what's the problem with simply using "you" as second-person plural pronoun, most of the time it's perfectly clear from the context whether it's singular or plural. And if not, there's also "everybody" or "everyone".

In German we have "sie" which is both third-person singular female, third-person plural, and when written "Sie" also a formal second-person singular/plural. It works just fine.
Yeah, maybe.

It’s just more complicated than YouTube and free distribution.

The way in which people use free distribution provided the internet has changed, and will change a lot.

The problem with your ideas is that they are just concepts extrapolated from very current trends. You should get a wider scope, and make fewer lazy predictions.

As others stated, the submitted title of "Ad-Free Internet by Firefox" overstates what this actually is: pay $4.99/month for ad-free experience on a handful of media publishers' websites[1].

(I.e. it's not a universal ad blocker that lets you avoid ads on Youtube.)

The Firefox webpage itself doesn't oversell the feature as "ad-free internet" so not sure why writing a misleading title for HN was necessary.

(Edit to also mention Scroll doesn't have some popular news sites such as NYT, Washington Post, WSJ, etc -- probably because getting a fraction of $4.99/month is not enough money for them and it competes with their direct digital subscriptions.)

I work at Woods Hole Oceanographic Research - I started there two years ago. I run a lab that refurbishes the electronics that collects data from the sensors. Technology wise we are fairly slow to adopt new things, and making changes to the infrastructure can take a few years. It is incredibly interesting and fun! There is both a mix of real time issues that pop up that need nasa style engineering to fix (i.e. logging on remotely to a buoy and adding a script to control the power module as a clock that triggers the main loop in the microcontroller interrupt broke) and plenty of mysteries to solve (why did the mooring in the Irminger Sea disappear?)

The program I work for is OOI, where the goal is to have long term consistent readings of the ocean. We are funded by the NSF and deploy and recover over 20 moorings with sensors on the surface, along the riser column and at the anchor.

Before this job I made video games.. this is far more gratifying. I am redesigning and upgrading the electronics in the buoys one section at a time and already there has been a large improvement in uptime. Oceanography is a fairly new science and there are a lot of opportunities to make collecting and analyzing data easier and more accessible.

I bike to work along the ocean for 7 miles, take a small boat for 25 minutes, then another 3 miles along the ocean.

We always need engineers.. https://careers.whoi.edu/

How much CPU GC takes for any given GC implementation is largely down to the design of the application, its data structures and allocation graph.

So, in summary:

1. Cisco used Open Source software (OpenDaylight), without sanitizing publicly available (GitHub) certificates and private keys.

2. The screenshot in the source article mentions the subject of the certificate. Yet, the text refers to it as the signing party.

3. Somebody used a business name and an email address that is associated to Huawei, to generate a certificate.

Observations:

- Regarding (1): If any finger pointing or suggesting should be done here, it should not be at anyone but Cisco.

- Regarding (2): Either the original source article contains incorrect information, or these certificates were self-signed, which makes any information supplied in the certificate arbitrary and meaningless.

- Regarding (2): If the information is incorrect, and the certificate was signed by an accredited party, the person who put this on GitHub sure made a stupid mistake, rendering this private key essentially useless (to anyone, Huawei and Cisco included).

- Regarding (3), just because somebody uses (either real of fake) business information to generate a certificate, does not indicate that said business had any involvement whatsoever. Not unless the certificate is signed by a party that guarantees the vetting of that info.

Final thought: The title with "Huawei cryptographic keys" appears to be very misleading at best, simple incorrect more likely. I do not see the link between Huawei and these keys, other than somebody using arbitrary information to generate a (self-signed) certificate from a private key.
