"In general geology is one of the forgotten natural sciences"

Forgotten or hidden? Almost all the good jobs involve working for the fossil fuel industry, which then treats discoveries as industrial secrets. If you want to be a well paid geologist, you will end up working for an oil company, but for the most part you won't be allowed to talk about your research, except when the research is discovering a negative. For instance, in the 1970s, the oil companies decided they would no longer look for deposits in layers dating to the 50 million years after the Permian Triassic extinction -- there is nothing for them to find at that level, because there wasn't enough life to create fossil fuels. That kind of research is released to the public, but positive finds are not.

I just had a look on Ahrefs, and yes it seems he's using some crappy blog comment spam with Xrumer/GSA, but he also has a few powerful backlinks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case

Also note, this guy could be using PBN's, most people who build PBN block the SEO tools(Ahrefs, Majestic, SEMRush, Moz) spider user agents for looking at their site.

Also, he only has 585 referring domains compared to 748k backlinks, so the majority of his backlinks are sitewide backlinks.
> A lot of the time I’m like you, or I see that the person is starting a long train of thoughts based on a faulty premise...

When talking about new angles of view it is quite unusual that the whole argument/"paragraph" is 100% logically sound. In fact that is quite an exception when talking. Maybe there is more than one argument for the other position that would still follow.

I think a lot about problems and details at work that have a lot of impact. These things cannot be summarized in single sentences and I don't have the time to follow higher standards in organizing my speech than others. So in the end I often ended up repeating my standpoint through various meetings until managers realized that this is indeed a thing.

> Some people take a very, very long time to get to a point they’ve already telegraphed long before.

Many people often take a very, very long time to troubleshoot problems, perhaps even work overtime because of that. I prefer to solve things by talking when this is possible and spent engineering time on the really interesting things.

(Also it might be an organizational problem if there are no meetings to discuss things in-depth with large rounds. Dailies are surely not the place for that.)

So you're saying that the browser client will now be regularly sending secure information on a regular basis to a predictable IP, across HTTP (hopefully S, but I'm sure there will be a fallback), via dynamic path and across an unknown number of hops for transit. And this is supposed to be more secure.

I'm sure there's nothing to go wrong with that wonderful plan! Taking control away from the user is a great idea!

I'm bias because I prefer YC companies, but I just signed up and started donating to offset me and my family's carbon impact. When I ran through the calculator and saw how much damage we were doing (the "if everyone lived like you the planet would have X months" was VERY effective) that really pushed me over the edge. Now that I've donated I feel great. I just have to pay a little bit more (relative to my income/standard of living) and I can live guilt free?? Sign me up!

And I note that this sounds pretty shilly, but seriously, if you don't donate to wren go donate to some other reputable climate change mitigating org. Just donate to something, even for the selfish feeling of smugness and guilt-removal it brings.

I used to work for a company that got hit up by Monotype for a six figure fine to pay for using one of their fonts. The previous head of design hadn’t bothered to sort tricky things like paying for fonts, mainly, I think, because he knew senior management wouldn’t spring for it.

We switched them out for free alternatives and negotiated down the fee, but they still had to part with a good amount of cash.

Dofollow and nofollow don't matter as much as the did a few years ago. It will look like unnatural link building if 100% of your backlinks are dofollow.

Why TCP Over TCP Is A Bad Idea

The PGP team openly and enthusiastically discusses how they've advised dissidents in places like Venezuela, about which just recently the NYT ran an expose of death squads sponsored by the Maduro administration. What they're telling dissidents to do has to work. It demonstrably doesn't. Pretending otherwise, because everyone else does it, is malpractice. I don't understand where the wiggle room people are finding on this issue is.

While you have a point about behavior, let’s not forget that the library is _free_. Maintaining such projects is often a hard, thankless job.

The only obligation any maintainer has is to abide by whatever terms they release their code under. I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect professional support from any project maintained by a single individual.
To me, that's a sign of the engineering discipline having matured (as well as average computational needs not keeping pace with computational power). My first job out of college was at Google, and I remember being somewhat disappointed the first time I was told to replace some elegant, dense logic with something more readable. After years of having to read other people's prematurely optimized or unnecessarily compact code in large engineering systems in complex problem domains, I'm more than bought into the idea that readability is one of the primary goals of good code.

This doesn't preclude compromising readability for hacks when you need to squeeze performance out of some logic (just look at Tensorflow code), but you'd expect a maturing computational environment and engineering culture to reduce the number of clever hacks needed or present.

When people realize the self driving cars are better the damage claims from human accidents can go up. Right now if you kill a kid with your car you get 7 months in jail and your insurance company pays a $150,000 (these are real numbers from a 3 year old that I was really close to). If self driving cars are really that much better courts will start handing out much larger judgments.
Am I the only one who's terrified of the security implications of such a system? You're talking about running (from the car's perspective) untrusted code on a fleet of cars, dynamically and in real time. Even if it's cryptographically signed or whatever, you're one or a handful of exploits away from remote attackers having the capability to crash every autonomous car, simultaneously, at least in a geographical region and possibly (inter)nationally.

If security matters today, it's going to matter orders of magnitude more in a world with autonomous cars.

"Extra 10 minutes of travel time"?

Sir I believe you are misinformed on typical public transportation travel times. The median wait time for a bus usually exceeds 10 minutes. Factor in the fact that a proper grocery store may not be on the bus line that gets you out of the neighborhood and you're easily looking at hours on a bus there and back to shop at a proper grocery store.
That's a fair point, I'll update my comment to reflect that.
Too late. They've already tried to do this.
> Accepting the built-in device software is also an "experiment."

An experiment with substantial testing and one that is legally backed if something is wrong. These are class 3 FDA approved devices, which means they have rigorous testing. They aren't just FDA cleared.

So calling them an "experiment" is really understating it. There's a huge difference between an experiment with one participant and done by someone without formal medical knowledge and many experiments with large sample sizes performed by several medical professionals who are experts on the specific device at hand. The two aren't comparable, and it's a ridiculous notion to equate them.

In the context of my statement, being conservative means accepting lower risk.
not if each one can fail. What if call #1 and call #3 can return the same error.. how does the caller know which one failed? This is the same as wrapping a bunch of calls with a catch (Exception) ... you lose context of what failed and can't behave differently for different failures. All you can do is perform a generic "something went wrong" behavior.

I only recall running into about 3 kinds of uses for Flash:

1. Video and animation. We have native browser video tags.

2. Brochureware (static pages, like restaurant websites). Looking back, I think this was done to work around the fact that browsers didn't render things the same. We have much better CSS standards and implementations today.

3. Games. Javascript is much faster today, and there's WebGL.

I never was a big chat user, but WebRTC and sockets seem to cover those uses, too.

Unless I'm missing a whole bunch of things, there's not much reason to keep Flash around on the open web. The security issues alone make it quite a headache.

I've been reading some of Joseph Campbell's Oriental Mythology and he goes into some of the early burial rituals. It's truly fascinating stuff. Did you know that a lot of the early rulers of the area were buried with their entire retinue (10s or 100+ servants) alive? Including sometimes the ruler himself. Gruesome stuff, but also quite fascinating.

EDIT: Seeing some other responses, perhaps she didn't want it up in the first place. Too little information to speculate.
I had non arithmetic syntax in mind when making this comment, such as indexing. Those can be simple as in get the i'th element or get elements corresponding to a mask etc. This makes it easy to write, less easy to know what's actually happening later.

If the repo is the source for the website then the license is de facto forbidding people from open sourcing their websites if they pay for a font for it.

However the license does not explicitly limit the tools you can use to build the website, and the website is allowed by the license to have the font. The argument could be made by licensing the font for a website they have implicitly licensed it to be on github because it is a widely used tool for managing the source code of websites and if they (the font owners) wanted to restrict its usage they should have specified.

I actually had to make the exact same jump a couple months ago. My 2013 MBP wasn't really slowing me down but I was giving it away to my family instead. I had a lot of hesitation when it came to touch bar but the that was way too much easier to get used to than what I thought.

The keyboard I'd say is a lot better than the 2018 versions. I've used a friends 2018 MBP where I had issue with repetitive keystrokes or no keystrokes at all, it's been two months I'm using mine and haven't had a single issue yet.

I think if you need it now you should go for it. There are always gonna be changes, updates, redesigns just like how it has been since 2013. If you're in need it of the tool now it's less like that the next update will have a meaningful impact on your work that's worth to wait.
Happy to hear it. One thing to mention though: We don't think offsetting is a license to live guilt free. We still have to do more! Hopefully the carbon footprint calculator will give you some ideas for how you can cut down your footprint pretty easily—often something as simple as cutting out red meat or using public transit more often can make a big difference. Also, progress from political action will likely be necessary.

That said, we need to pursue all solutions aggressively right now and we obviously think carbon offsets are a key part of the portfolio that will save humanity from climate change :)
