You're right, we have to be critical of what we're doing because this is such an important challenge for humanity. This is why we're doing it:

People who sign up for Wren usually were not previously considering offsetting their carbon footprint. In 1 month ~200 people have offset their footprint through Wren. We anticipate this number to grow exponentially, and think several million people offsetting their carbon footprint is a reasonable goal for the short term. This is nontrivial—it will be as impactful as the U.S. agreeing to go on track for the paris climate accord again. This would not happen if we did not take a fee.

Planting trees is one of many solutions we're focused on. Project Drawdown has 99 more: https://www.drawdown.org/ and if we were able to enact all of them we'd be carbon neutral as a planet.

We will certainly be doing more math and developing a better strategy. However we think that by launching Wren we have already learned more than months spent strategizing could have taught us—this is at its core a consumer behavior problem so we have to spend our time understanding people.

Keep us posted on more ideas and feedback for maximizing our impact
Call me old fashioned but I'm unconvinced about data's role in defining "good candidate" although if anyone could do it, Google is the perfect storm of data know how and applicant pool scale.

Fundamentally it is a human evaluating another human. Process and rubric can assist in eliminating bias but as human interaction is complex, a bit of pattern matching and whooly experience is going to go a long way and excels in these domains.

Let's also not forget that things that interpret data are subject to bias as they are built by humans too - see Amazon's case where filtering was accidentally sexist
This looks really interesting, potentially makes GraphBLAS much more accessible for exploratory work. A few questions for the author:

Does this work in blocking or non-blocking mode? Naively I imagine there might be more opportunity for the GraphBLAS implementation to optimize execution in non-blocking mode.

Is there a way to efficiently store and load matrices to and from files? Ideally in a such a way that the data is just mmap'ed or copied directly into memory on load?

Does this only work with SuiteSparse or could it potentially work with a GPU implementation like https://github.com/gunrock/graphblast too?
There is also python interpreters compiled to webassembly

Telling people to stop using the Internet because it is insecure is bad advice. It is extremely unrealistic, like telling people to stop using cars and trucks because driving kills people every year.

However suggesting that we should change things to eliminate the risk is good. We could eliminate car accidents completely if everyone went over the automatic driven cars that communicated as a mesh network. The Swedish "zero vision" could be achieved, maybe even with todays technology, but it would be a massive undertaking.

Replacing BGP would be a similar massive undertaking. Just switching away from ipv4 to ipv6 has so far taken 20 years and we have no date in sight when we can start deprecating ipv4. From what I have heard/seen, a lot of people are somewhat reluctant to issue backward incompatible replacements of core infrastructure because they look at ipv6 and fear that kind of process. Even seen some pessimistic talks that argue that it is impossible and the only way to achieve changes in core infrastructure is with incremental changes that are fully backward compatible. I am not really of the view but I do understand their fear.

My advice to people is not to abandon email, even if I doubt much people would heed to the warning that email is unsafe for government, business, people and their family. People will risk it regardless. Thus I focus on what may help, imperfect as those may be. In the past that was PGP in the form of enigma mail plugin. Today I am keeping an eye on the new pretty Easy privacy which hopefully can outsource the security to a library that attempts optimistic encryption when ever possible.

If you aren't profiting, you aren't reselling.

If they're going to offer "unlimited data", then they should give exactly that. If you want to share it with the whole neighborhood, that's your business. If that's a technical problem for them, then they shouldn't be offering "unlimited data" in the first place.

Love what the grails and groovy teams keep pushing out.
I'd say more like "redirect/rewire consumption". Oil demand is considered inelastic because we have minimal mass transit options in most North American cities. So, increase mass-transit and HVDC links combined with funded solar+wind sources and EV chargers to covert the fuel-demand into overall energy demand.

Also, the oil being consumed here is headed out to the global market. It's not being earmarked for local use. It's effectively fungible with global supply so the decrease here will simply have a small global price increase.

Unless they have some sort of military, no. The resistance has no leverage over China at the moment.

They may win temporarily, but Chinese party officials will now find ways to use their censorship tactics and Orwellian state to completely destroy any future ideas of resistance from within.

It's easy to find the leaders and make them disappear. Eventually, there will be nobody left to resist because they are dead or too scared and it will be back to business as usual.

I've been talking about the evils China for at least a decade. I've met too many people that have this thought that the US is somehow worse than China, so we shouldn't have a say when they stamp out religion, crush all resistance, and murder groups and people that are deemed enemies of the state.

Future generations will look back and wonder why we never did anything about these evils.

Since TV isn't intended to be listened to exclusively, it may just be a matter of the format not translating properly.

Have you tried radio plays? They aren't very popular in the US, but Britain seems to still make them. I'm curious if they are any better than your TV experience.
> preventing deforestation in the Amazon

Could you say a bit more about how this works in practice? I'm asking because of vague memories that much of the logging in the Amazon is done illegally anyway. So presumably just saying "we buy up land and then it's ours and nobody will log it because it's forbidden" would not be effective.

Am I misremembering things and this is not really a problem? Or do you have some effective way to ensure that land not meant to be logged is really left alone?
How sending clear login and passwords to a third party website is ever a good idea?
This comes down to the difference in underlying values of different cultures. Forcing what you think people should want onto others when it's not what they really want isn't effective, even despite your relative moral justifications. There are ways to accomplish notifying the user of censorship which isn't shoving it in their face.

Users simply won't use Google if it's beating them with a stick to remind them that websites are censored and that users should use a VPN. Chinese citizens know about the censorship and most, outside of specific provinces, simply don't care. Those who do already use a VPN.
The Federal Government or the policy makers in control of it, seem to believe that privatizing things is an approach for making them redundant, in a way.

Until we can step back from the belief that private corporations can solve every problem, we will be stuck with long-standing, and wasteful systems/situations like this.
These are great questions and topics I plan on addressing in a future blog post. SQL is a great convenience for simple analytical queries and it can be nice to be able to mix and match SQL and other access patterns (this is one thing I like with the Apache Spark DataFrame approach).

It's true that the Rust ecosystem for data science is not really there yet and I am trying to inspire people to start changing that. I think Rust does have some good potential here.

In the nearer term though I am exploring options around support user code in distributed query execution and I don't want to limit it to Rust.

It is important to understand why the person was fined. The person held a seminar titled "Basic Information about Islam". It was advertised with an impression of "objective information on Islam". The person described themselves as an expert in Islam doctrine too. During the seminar, the person made a judgment position without facts. The courts felt it was an intentional move meant to rile up participants and disturb peace.

You could have the same position as the fined person and you wouldn't be fined in Austria. The fine was imposed due to the context of the fora/background and the intent of communication, not the position itself.
Having been involved in a couple of startups (with exits) and having done an MBA at one of the top schools in North America, here's my two cents:

STARTUP
Adv's
- learn quickly
- get exposure to many different problems that need solving
- get exposure to many areas of business
- experience scale and rapid growth, if startup has good growth trajectory
- can be provide good upside, if equity is granted and an exit / IPO takes place
- can get exposure to insanely smart people if team members are really solid, which helps to grow network for follow-on opportunities and startups

DisAdv's
- many startups fail
- some startups have better founders / leaders to guide teams through tough times
- plan on working non-stop in early days
- even when startups raise initial rounds, many fail to raise follow-on rounds
- work environment can be volatile with high attrition, due to demands of working in a startup (startups aren't for everyone)
- startups are really, really hard to get traction with (early-on), which can be stressful for many people
- there are many unknown factors in the long-term success of a startup

MBA
Adv's
- learn lots and get exposure to topics that you might not be interested in exploring on your own
- opportunity to meet many new people who are talented, driven, and want to succeed
- opportunity to grow professional network with businesses and professors
- social proof of credibility in having worked hard to learn knowledge from a top school
- opportunity to change career paths, which sometimes isn't as easy when moving from one job to another (without school being a catalyst for it)

DisAdv's
- very expensive
- what you put in, is what you get out (as far as work goes)
- most MBA programs are 2 years in length, which is a long time to be out of the workforce (and learning on the front lines)
- much of the material is theoretical, as opposed to practically applicable
- focusing on grades is not always indicative of people's actual work performance
- less importance is being put on an MBA, given the current state of the startup world

OUTLOOK
- My education has served me well, but it was really expensive to pursue
- I have gained an immense amount of knowledge through being involved in high-growth startups

RECOMMENDATION
- Get involved in an early-stage startup and be a sponge
- Become a voracious consumer of business content (books, podcasts, videos, etc)
- Learn as much as you can about topics that you wouldn't normally, and hold yourself accountable to achieving certain goals with the content you're consuming

They're also building up a software stack to analyze the sensor output, complete with a user-facing smartphone app.
The problem is that feature would constitute something made explicitly for illegal uses, much like drug paraphernalia, so would expose them to huge liability.

Of course, it's only in some states (like Maryland) where recording conversations without permission is illegal, but that's enough.

Perhaps an indirect way of tackling the problem is increasing the quality and diversity of school lunch programs in low-income areas susceptible to obesity. Compared to lunch programs in some European countries, especially France, US lunch programs are unlikely to inspire much appreciation for healthy eating [0]. In short, get them while they're young. Also, bring back home economics programs for both boys and girls with an emphasis on healthy food preparation. It's a great life skill.

It's even more expensive, but worth every penny to me.
The application is whatever the developer made it to be. The majority of applications in `/system/apps` either (1) self-contained (this is the case for the ones in that directory plainly, e.g. Vision) or (2) are a folder (e.g. `/system/apps/BePDF`.) In either case it should be pretty clear to the user what to copy (the single file, or the whole directory) in the case they really want to do that.

The only things that put stuff outside of `apps` are, uh, non-applications (e.g. CLI tools with a command in `bin` and data in, well, `data`, libraries with headers in `develop` for GCC to find, etc.) Which the user should not know or care about.

Applications with binaries in `/system/apps` and data elsewhere are rare. Most ported applications with no headers or the like get put into `/system/apps` along with all of the libraries they ship and the like. (Of course Qt apps will need the Qt package, etc.; but native apps at least can just get copied out of /system/apps and will still work.)
My carrier started blocking requests from my tethered computer if they are made through a VPN ... that doesn't seem like it obviously fits into any category? Any guesses as to how they can do that?
I'm happy that Dragonfly is being terminated and I'm sure this is also the direct result of all Google employees who objected to it.

To the Chinese people here on HN try to understand that this is larger than the welfare of the Chinese.

China is now in a position to export its culture to the rest of the world due to its economic strength.

It can, for example, force companies like Google to censor information to the rest of the world and this is a fact.

How do I know this? Because us EU citizens already have to suffer the US views on sex and nudity, among others and the US has the strongest free speech protections of all countries.

The whataboutism on this discussion btw is interesting since this forum would be censored in China and this conversation wouldn't be possible. There's no comparison to be made in terms of free speech. In China you have none.

So I regret the situation, but many of us value our liberal freedoms and we don't want China to export its flavor of communism to us.

Yes I was born and raised in an ex-communist country, I know communism when I see it, I don't want any and I'm prepared to fight for my freedoms.

I do hope to see China become a liberal democracy. But I'm not holding my breath, because I also know what it takes for a revolution to happen and China won't be there for the foreseeable future.
Nope. Read the section on k-anonymity here: https://www.troyhunt.com/were-baking-have-i-been-pwned-into-...

Essentially, the client hashes the password and then only sends the first 5 characters of the hash to HIBP. HIBP then returns the hashes of every password whose hash begins with the same characters (approx 477 matches, according to the article), and then it's up to the client to determine if there's a match.

I would argue these are the only two things in your list that should be included in a Computer Science degree.

There's a limited amount of time to cram everything into a CS degree, and it should focus on the science, not the practice. The science is harder to learn than the practice. All of the practice items are picked up on your first job out of college.
Combining both of your models, maybe take a percentage but capped to 20% of the customer's footprint? The hero who wants to offset 200% of their footprint would still just pay 20% of their footprint, i.e., only 10% of their donation.

Google has become significantly less useful for me lately because of this. It’s like a distributed content farm.

Stack Overflow is terrible for it. More often than not the whole first page becomes a bunch of links to the same original SO post, just hosted in different places with different ads on top.

I’m not sure DDG and alternatives are any better, just because of the pure amount of noise that exists on the internet to beat google at their game.
TTL is a nice cheap trick. I figure you can bypass it by adjusting your TTL to be +1 on the computer, or by running a VPN client that acts as a proxy on the phone.

This is another excellent question from the earlier days of stackexchange that are all now "offtopic". Its sad to see it consistently lose informative questions. Stackexchange's policy shift toward marking any slightly general question as offtopic is a sad state of affairs.
This is exactly how we do it for few of our clients. Opencv + Python is provides a pretty successful solution for this.
Do you have a cite for the 60% loss? Perusing Google shows 8-15% average, so that's a hell of an outlier.

Gas engines on the other hand, have a maximum carnot efficiency of about 40% (that's 60%+ power loss there), which doesn't include extracting/transporting/storing as well as the kind of unplanned of losses this article talks about.
So apparently it's not a new idea. Good, and thanks.

I'm going to be the contrarian here and say that they quoted people and events from some of the laggards or less advanced companies (like Uber's crash, which was totally preventable). I see much more optimism from the leaders in the space, although it's not like they are planning 100% self-driving taxis next year.

Also, keep in mind that the fair comparison is whether the cars outperform the average rate of human drivers. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Also asking companies to conform to UN recognized sovereign states as bullying is pretty silly.

Your argument appears to be "an independent body also recognizes Taiwan as part of China so airlines should do the same". Here's the problem: the United Nations did so at the behest of China and thus your argument becomes "China dictated that the United Nations recognize Taiwan as part of China and the airlines should bow to the same request." This is circular logic at best.
It is a straightforward experience, having just bought a plan in May from T-Mobile, provided you are willing to accept that market-speak is the window dressing of Life in America and you are able to find a sales rep who is willing to switch from the corporate dialect to American English.

I bought a $75/month “unlimited” plan (soft cap is 50GB before throttling according to the sales rep) and that price tag includes any taxes or fees in my local jurisdiction. It is $70/month with autopay turned on, because you get a $5/month discount. The hotspot would suck if I used it, but I don’t, and FaceTime Audio works out of the box, no setup process, which was what I wanted to hear.
One of the creators of Spark apparently thinks Rust is worth pursuing:

> China is already blocking these censored websites- linking them in search results isn't going to magically allow the website to load in the browser.

Unless the user clicks the little down arrow next to the URL, which opens the popup menu with "Cached".

And even if that were also censored, the titles, URLs and the first couple of lines of text returned by Google would speak volumes about what's going on. Imagine googling Tiananmen and getting page after page of search results which all turn out to be inaccessible. What would that tell you?
