> The conclusion: climate has already increased the risk of armed conflict, but the effect is small relative to the effects of other factors such as unexpected economic events and scarcity of natural resources such as food.

The risk posed by climate change is that it will majorly disrupt economies and access to food and water. (Think widespread drought and famine). I find it strange that these experts draw a distinction between these factors.
Which is why I keep saying autonomous driving doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be better than humans. And that's a much lower bar, because we are lousy drivers.
I meant paying them the fair market rate and getting more than you would from the market. You can choose to pay double market rate and you'd get 2.2x the quality instead of 2x with a non minority.

I was being a little facetious, though.
This. Even 2GB is a world of difference.

One of the major issues I had was the master (control) node would start getting a little weird sometimes, and it was always due to memory pressure (even if not scheduling pods on the master Pi).

Kubernetes docs _say_ 1 GB is the minimum memory requirement, but 2 or 4 GB is more realistic, because at 1 GB and no swap you have precious little overhead.
I also see people making selfies with decorative street elements (simple installations and/or statues) that were installed, say, a year ago, and really mean nothing, but are perceived as if they had a history.

How do you know how other people perceive these things?
Trade barrier? Since when services offered through the web are paying taxes in the places where they are rendering their services. If anything, expect a lot more governments to wisen up, like the US did with Amazon and taxes, and create these barriers to have people actually play by local rules. That I don't agree with Chinese rules is one thing but it is their country.

But let's be perfectly clear that the Chinese did this out of censorship and the trade part happened to be a side-effect.
The article didn't claim it was a large factor.
Could. But that would mean AirBnB would have to stop playing the "we're only brokering" game.

Easy.

You can only install it on one brand of overpriced hardware. Does anyone really need to list another restriction to rightfully say that this OS is "too restricted"?

You can't tweak the system nearly as much as you can Linux or Windows. For instance, there is simply no access to certain APIs that Apple uses, such as changing NSScreen visibleFrame, which is why every replacement for the Dock fails with the same bug: Application windows show up behind the Dock replacement.

You can't even change the fucking mouse pointer color!!!!!!! from black to white or any other color that you desire...and there isn't even a third party tool that allows you to do this because of more hidden APIs.

Honestly, I could go on for days about all the restrictive qualities of macOS. I used to have a complete list somewhere, but I chose to simply stop using Macs (unless I have to compile something for iOS) instead of trying to convince others that it's a bad idea.

If you can bear to use it, great for you! Tons of people eat McDonald's too.
You're going to have a hard time convincing me that the browser as a runtime is a better solution than a runtime actually designed for running applications.
Exactly. And measures to get fare-payment or prevent evasion are very costly in themselves, e.g.:

Or china quietly takes direct control over the machines biult and run by google. Google then, from the user's perspective, has become that problem governmemt.
If Google had more business in China, the CCP could blackmail them into censoring their results in other countries as well. Just look at how the CCP bullied international airlines about Taiwan, the laws being awfully vague hasn't helped one bit.

Letting the CCP export its censorship back into the West in the hopes that Google will improve life in China is a hell of a gamble.
Personally I set up a dokku instance on a cheap vps. Very similar to heroku but allows multiple projects to be run. On commit gitlab pushes to my dokku instance and it's deployed.

What ever method you choose, I definitely recommend a CD pipeline on commit.

The common contrasting explanation is that DC is projecting power by limiting how ostentatious it is, but nevertheless restricting other buildings from being tall.

While the Capitol dome theory is a myth, the maximum height[1] allowed for building is set by law. It was due to safety concerns about then very new skyscrapers, but at the same time, the limit has persisted long after.

But then you have to ask the question: "Why is no one doing it if it is such an advantage ?".
The situation reminds me of the regulatory environment in aviation. Aviation in general is super regulated for the usual “people could die” set of reasons. If you buy a normal certificated airplane like one from Cessna or Piper, you are subject to heavy regulations around what you can do to it in terms of maintenance. You can’t do much as run a USB charger to the cockpit panel without the FAA coming down on you like a ton of bricks. You have to go to people with the right government $tamp to get anything fixed. It’s a huge burden but it’s all in the name of safety.

The FAA does however have a parallel track, called Experimental-Amateur Built (E-AB) where if you build the airplane yourself for educational or recreational purposes, it’s subject to a mostly separate set of rules. They are generally more relaxed in terms of what maintenance and modifications you can do but stricter in terms of what you can do while flying (can’t take passengers for hire, for example). Most pilots prefer the certified/safety-first/highly regulated track, but the government recognizes it’s a trade-off and offers the other option for those who prefer a more DIY-friendly world.

Not saying this would necessarily work for medical devices, but there is precedent for acknowledging the trade-offs when it comes to DIYing safety-critical stuff.
Apple's podcast app used to be great. I used to be able to easily subscribe and download all the episodes for a show, navigate to any show, and get back to what I was listening to all in a few taps.

As it stands now, if you want to add all of the episodes from a show that you have listened to for the past 14 years that somehow was not subscribed to on your device, you have to go to the show and subscribe, go to available episodes and tap on the + next to every.single.episode and even then sometimes episodes get lost.

You can set the custom settings to download all available, but it won't download the episodes of a subscribed podcast if you haven't explicitly added them (tap that + sign)

Also, can we just set the screen podcast app opens on to our own choice? I literally have to go through an extra menu just to see my show listing. Yes, I've created a "station" for the shows but that's immensely inconvenient if I want to listen to one show continuously without having to navigate to the shows page (guess I have to create a station for every show...)

I don't think the Apple funded shows will be bad. This article really seems to be creating a mountain out of nothing. Hopefully, this means that some lucky podcaster or media group makes $$$ off of a deal with Apple.
And how long exactly is that horizon?
Thanks, I'm checking it out atm. Btw., a varname is converted to string on your website: "medium_username@gmail.com"
What happens when you try? Does it pop up a message saying that your provider hasn't authorised it?

I used to use Vodafone NL, and apparently they used a SIM provider ID that matched Verizon or something in the US, so my phone (Pixel 1 at the time) would ask Verizon if this SIM was allowed to use tethering, and of course it said no. Part of the reason I moved carriers, also the new one has unlimited data which is better anyhow.

Vodafone had no idea what was going on, although they did try. Eventually they just said they couldn't help.

Anyway, maybe something similar going on for you.
That is both hilarious and incredibly sad.

ANY CHAIR is a bullet proof chair if you store your bullet proof vest on it.

Good example - deer.

But human drivers hit deer all the time, and it's often unavoidable. An autonomous driver is probably more likely to miss a deer than a human, due to substantially better reflex time.
Since you mentioned that this would be an internal web page for your friend's company Netlify does not seem to be the best answer for that. When there is already a working nginx just push it via FTP. If you know how this is done, do it like that.

Sure there are those "cool" new ways but when you know how this could be done in a way you are familiar with go for it.

But if you have the time and the page does not have to be running asap go that way with building it around Vue.js and webpack etc.
If you are in the Texas area , humansolution (https://www.thehumansolution.com) in Austin has a good selection of chairs. Not affiliated with them. I actually drove a few hours just to try out chairs before placing an order for my Leap.

Do you not realize that hundreds of millions of people deserve better than an authoritarian government? If you indeed want a better life for these people, censorship is something you must fight, not acquiesce to.
I have friends at google still working on this.
You cannot program missing buttons.

On the right side to the '0' and 'P' I need two more buttons, right from the 'L' and the 'M' three. (Also, on the left side of the 'Y' which on QWERTY is a 'Z', I also need another button. Without those buttons in those places all ergonomic advantages will be lost, since I have to remap those buttons somewhere not especially ergonomic.

The buttons in question are btw: ß´ü+öä#,.-< and it would be fantastic if there were even more buttons for stuff like []{}, which I can only reach via ALT GR. Maybe Capslock could make way to two buttons '[' and ']' which then could become '{' and '}' with one modifier key.

I'm on Linux, so I doubt the hardware will be easy to program.

If you think that video wasn't faked as you say that the other causes are the ostensible ones and this is the genuine cause. You've got the meaning of 'ostensible' the wrong way around.
Are you looking into some of the issues raised in the paper? Better use of register-memory instructions seems like it might be a relatively big win for relatively little effort.

The code in lines 35-37 in Figure 7(c) looks like you should be able to fold the memory operand even in a simple peephole pass before register allocation, no? (I know, I know, patches are probably welcome ;-))
Enabling censorship and oppression should not be a race to the bottom - which is what you are advocating for.

I don't understand how any search engine approved in China could be "surfacing better information in queries" - they are all effectively under the same authoritative control. Are you placing your believe in hopes and prayers that real information will be "accidentally" leaked to the oppressed masses in China? How cute.

Madagascar is about 100 to 120 miles from the African continent. Not too different from Cuba to Florida. In the same ballpark. But, I hear what you're saying. Deep sea vessels vs littoral hugging vessels.
> Because laws in this area are often vague, I can see that dragonfly would apply varying levels of censorships

It doesn't follow to me. The reverse actually. 'laws in this area are often vague' for a reason - so that You Can't Do That becomes not a judicial matter with precise as possible definition, but a matter of personal feeling. Then the rulers can come down hard on whoever just because they didn't like something.

That's more likely to pressure companies into being on the conservative side of things; censoring a little more rather than a litte less. And google's in it for the money in a big, rich market.
When read literally, there is no way that any system ever, human or automatic, will be able to drive on "any road" with "perfect safety". Crazy freak accidents happen, and human drivers regularly aren't able to handle them. On top of that, most people just can't safely drive in thick fog, icy conditions, or pouring rain. No amount of intelligence will allow a car to drive through a sufficiently flooded street.

Just like with human cars, the important metric is just whether they can drive acceptably safely in the environments that they attempt to go. There's enough low-hanging fruit from faster reaction times and 360 sensing to make that feasible without needing to solve the AI-complete problem. Nobody's asking them to be able to drive at 70 MPH through a fog bank in Alaska with ice on the road, even if that is technically part of the requirements for Level 5 that even humans can't obtain.
I get why OSM does this, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. The most important thing is being transparent about what format the data is in and always including that information in the metadata. the article touches on this point in this blurb:

We should inform data consumers, so that they can decide to convert the coordinates to WGS84 if they want to.

As someone who works in the GIS space, if we get data without this crucial information it’s sometimes very difficult to find the original datum to perform transformations and usually amounts to some form of educated guesswork based on the warp from WGS84 and the origin of the data “what datum/projection would I have used if I was the data creator?”

I still wonder what would happen if a full desktop-sized heatsink was coupled to the Pi 4's SOC.

In all likelihood, you'd see diminishing returns as you get bigger, but that would be quite the sight to see.

I've been tempted for a while to build a big case with some sort of mounting standard (maybe a Peek array?) so that I can add whatever hardware I want to it (mostly electronics). This seems like a job for that.

Ask HN: Resources about nutrition?
Hi HN,
recently I underwent infectious mononucleosis - a full-body disease that mainly takes a toll on the liver. Since I went on a liver diet for a while I had to learn about which foods I should and shouldn't eat. This made me realize that I have a poor understanding of how nutrition works. I'd like to learn how the body processes food, which vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are essential for what purpose, as well as coarsely what foods contain what. I expect this to be information that, once learned, will prove useful for the rest of my life. However I'm not interested in any specific diets. Is there any book HN would recommend on this topic?
Well I imagine the immediate downside is having companies that you dont care for trying to influence you with data you never gave them possibly quite on purpose.

In the end that's just a privacy concern again. I think the problem is always the scale. Knowing one persons data isn't to harmful to society. But knowing so many and having real incentive to use and abuse it has always been the problem. That type of data lead to Trumps election and Brexit both from the same person. So data can definitely move nations. I think the best option is to break the big tech companies up. On smaller scales they are less harmful.
I wonder if any patients in coma's were considered. I'd think it would be tremendously valuable to compare the difference between a living and a 'dead' brain.

*This might get into philosophical realm of brain dead vs alive. I'm just talking about 'active blood flow' and let the additional nuance about the other things be worried about by somebody who isn't me.
No money in it. My unsubstantiated guess is that being part of the search team became uncool a while back because it wasn't new and shiny.
Damaging temperatures are generally between 90-100°C. Throttling can happen at lower temps and those are usually CPU dependent (and cooler dependent). Also CPUs with less cores handle thermal throttling worse as they have less cores to fallback on if one overheats.
If you set up a hotspot so your friends can all (anti-socially) stream separate videos, that scales up beyond what one user would consume.

Most likely she is use reading of glucose level (which varies with emotions and activities) but that wouldn't sound as cool so she replaced that with some hand waving.
Relying on such a list also gives members of that list many more opportunities allowing them to get more practice with interviews and more offers.
Agreed. When I first started writing go I thought "Wtf is this caveman language"

And now years later I couldn't imagine going back to using exceptions. The non-linearity of exceptions creates such a cognitive load of picking up unfamiliar code, and this is where go really shines. I can dive into almost any go codebase and get a lay of the land very quickly.

On another note, I've been enjoying rust's approach with Result<T,E> / the ? operator. Same principle with less visual bloat.
That has been tried to great success with the rpi3, so I suspect it will at least make it less prone to throttling.

Edit: I just stacked a bunch of 10sec coins on the processor (without any thermal compound) brought the idle temperature down by 3 degrees C.

Edit2: Put an carbon tablet pipe on it, filled with coins. It is not up to heat yet, but right now it is idling at about 45C. It would probably be better with some fluid in it. I will probably keep this as my cooler.

Edit3: Seriously: I have wonderful thermal numbers. sysbench for 240 seconds, temperature 62C.

This is a rpi4 with a poe hat, so my passive cooling options are limited.
Yes, have a look at

https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/valhalla-dev/2019-Ju...

And follow the links from there, including the Wiki page describing the EA release, unfortunately my submission did not gather too much uptake.

It is taking all this this time because the team wants pre-value types world jars to keep running unmodified on the new world, not an easy engineering task.
It means that when you defraud investors over outlandish claims, even if you believe you can do what you are claiming, then you have destroyed trust and made it harder for everyone else in the industry (who isn't making shit up) to get the funding to do the real work that creates real progress.

You seem to have skipped/ignored the whole paragraph where I give Elon lots of credit and then the part where I how people were treating Holmes before it was common knowledge that she was making shit up.

I don't believe she did that because she wanted to defraud investors, she just believed her own hype and was willing to lie more than most to maintain that hype... if you don't think that these exact conditions affect Elon, or the people that feed him information, then I think maybe you're suffering from some the negative effects of excessive fandom.
Detractors of self-driving cars are always eager to lap up a story like this as proof that it will never happen or it would take decades...."Years" doesn't mean decades, even 10 yrs is a relative short time, i owned my last care for about 13 yrs.

Some proponents of self driving cars might have gotten too ahead of the hype train but nevertheless, self-driving is here and soon would be common place.

It would obviously take some time to turn over the current inventory of non-self-driving cars but even that would happen faster than most people anticipate. Americans already replace their cars quite often and it is hard to think of a more compelling nudge to replace your car than the prospect of not having to actively drive it.

As for the outstanding technical challenges, I am often baffled when people point to that as a reason for skepticism...it is the whole point of the endeavor, to solve those problems.
Bah. Standard methods with more careful monitoring, prediction and precision adjustments should still work while not being anywhere as risky. You can still use AI or other advanced statistics to program dose sizes and timing.

Semi-closed control "dumb" programmable pump, that is. Human is in the loop, it is not realtime so potentially worse... Or not. Few and predictable failure modes.
I agree with most of your points, but:

> So your forefathers did something great so you're entitled to untold riches?

Yes, the poster is entitled to the benefits of living in the country they were born in. Infinitely more so than foreigners are entitled to access to his country. A country has an obligation to its citizens, arguably more so to those who have sacrificed to allow it to exist, and none to outsiders who wish to join. Those outsiders' desire to join should be considered only insofar as they benefits the citizens of the country, and I think you've fairly illustrated where that can be the case.
The article is confusing. The headline/lede claim is about partial vertical scrolling. The middle is a long detour to partial horizontal scrolling (well documented, including SMB1), and then the end goes back to talk about partial vertical scrolling (Zelda).
Never underestimate sneakernet speeds. https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/

It can "move 100 petabytes of data in as little as a few weeks, plus transport time. That same transfer could take more than 20 years to accomplish over a direct connect line with a 1Gbps connection."
Given that the NES had NMI and the 2600 didn't, I think that NMI probably should have been wired to horizontal blank to begin with. I'm sure that there is some reason why this wasn't done, but I can't understand why.
FWIW, I'm keeping your name in the back of my head for when my current company inevitably fails at their big data revolution. Biggest product produces 10-15 PB/day that must be processed. Our existing solution is 20 years old and relies on navigating C code with function line counts on the orders of 10k. Rust would've saved me a lot of time from living in gdb.

Really enjoyed the article. Keep it up!
I think the difference is that there are so many more software engineers. That is, there is no doctor equivalent of a typical 50 year old developer that no one wants to hire because those doctors were filtered out through med school, residencies, etc. You're left with a few highly skilled set of doctors. While there is no such filtering process for software engineers and you're left with a large number of people of varying skills. A highly skilled 50 year old software engineer is still very hireable.
