Absolutely! If the author has written it for a general audience there should always be something to glean from it. If it's for a technical audience, and it's too dense, one may want to find something a little more general interest in that subject before returning to said book.

It's also worth it to give up reading a book one started. Unless it's for school, then one should talk to an instructor or fellow students.
It's worse than things they've come to love. It's things they think are normal and necessary.
If you wanted to make a more substantive comment, since this is HN, you could explain why you think either A) Islam has not made vast numbers of other cultures into victims of "cultural genocide", or B) that Islam will stop doing so on its own, or C) that it's disgusting for the Chinese to use "cultural genocide" to fight against a cultural system which has made vast numbers of other cultures into victims of "cultural genocide", and shows no signs of stopping on its own, in their own country, if that's what they want to do there.

Or you can flag/downvote as a way to show disagreement. Your choice.
Counterpoint: humans as a species have pretty much always been bad for this planet's biosphere, not just now but for tens of millennia. If you're looking for a species to save us, I'd recommend turning to trees instead :)
Calm down, there will be a war or virus or climate change itself will help us with the overpopulation problem.

If you killed every second person and planted a tree things will balance themselves out.
Do you have a source for this? I thought they were sourced was almost all rainfall both directly into the lake and from the streams and rivers that surround them
I think there's just more noise tbh. The overall output of good music is without a doubt much higher without the 5k barrier to entry - you just have to search harder to find it
The problem is, essentially the only thing anyone agrees on when it comes to "how much" is "its different for everyone".

So what's not different for everyone? Well, if your pee is dark, then you're probably dehydrated. Ok; now we have a useful signal. It's not perfect. It doesn't capture the subtleties of the entire situation. But it's USEFUL.
OT:

> On which countries and territories are U.S. government sanctions applied?

> Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.

Crimea? Isn't that part of Russia now, so what is the point of sanctions against Crimea? To affect Crimean policy wouldn't they need to sanction Russia, not Crimea?
You could try something like 5/3/1, which has you generally working at submaximal loads most of the time and only increases the weight every 2-3 weeks. One of Wendler's principles is that slow progress is still progress, something I agree with.

The problem is idealism.

> “I was very excited about the opportunity that Twitter represented,” Wetherell said, noting that he initially felt the retweet button would elevate voices from underrepresented communities.

The problem is that it didn't register to him, or anyone, that "racists" were an "underrepresented community", as were sexists, misogynists, homophobes, anti-intellectuals, quacks, and so on. When attempting to give a voice to minorities, they gave a voice to all "minorities", including people who had minority opinions. The idealism came in the form of expecting that these tools will, by default, be used for good... it wouldn't surprise me that people in the tech community, who have often come from privilege or at the very least live within privileged bubbles, are naive about what people are really capable of.

"A rising tide lifts all boats..." unfortunately some of those ships are full of pirates and disease.

It's sad, but you really need think about these things from a jaded and cynical perspective when building them, it's unfortunate that there's been a long crusade against cynicism. Being optimistic and feeling optimism about the world and humanity leads to problems like this.
But these things happen over long periods of time. It's not like China catches on fire and everyone burns to death (tongue in cheek). People get uncomfortable, natural disaster increase, so they migrate. At some point either migration itself becomes an issue, or the last of the poor are tired of being left behind and mass migrate, perhaps violently. So, a collapse is possible, but I think of it as more of a slow lean than a collapse, if it were to happen. And even that would take decades if not centuries. Civilization collapse is inevitable, we know that from the fact a stars life is finite, among other things. That shouldn't prevent anyone from trying to live a happy life, and passing on teachings to the next generation.
Rate could also mean people/year instead of %/year.

Ajax calls are one example. JQuery ajax works everywhere, while fetch() will never work in IE without polyfils.

Not to mention all the other ES6 features IE refuses to support. Not every project wants or needs a webpack/ babel build process.
I was keeping an eye on this in the hope that someone had a good answer for it. What features would you consider adequate for this kind of email search? At the moment I just have everything in Thunderbird and it does a passable full-text search on a ~5gb mailbox but I haven't experimented with anything fancier.
Guess some Texans have seen your post ;) Not in TX myself but after a recent Texas-like heat/humidity wave I found myself thinking how much more energized and comfortable I felt after it left, but it was still subjectively quite a high temperature. Such oppressive heat really does affect your quality of life in a big way. I lived in Europe for many years without air conditioning and was never more than mildly uncomfortable on the worst days. There was something very different about the heat...it may be as simple as humidity levels, but it was not particularly dry where I lived and visited either. Here I don't see many days that would be tolerable without AC.
Have you tried to tell them that they are constantly being watched? How receptive were they about recent articles on data breaches in facebook? What would happen if you only reply to them over SMS or Telegram?

I'm also struggling with this issue and I've been contemplating about either moving all of my interactions on a mailing list or a mastodon instance. I don't know how to move the network of my friends into that space.
I think it's not very clear from the article because the article doesn't claim that sipping water throughout the day isn't very good, just that it doesn't cause some neurons to fire.

Do you have any source for "sipping water throughout the day is not very good" and "sipping all day means the body never gets rest from the 'water intake mode'"?
Climate Crisis

Any news source that reports "record-breaking temperatures" is, deliberately or not, making these dangerously increasing temperatures sound like a good thing.

This extreme heat is costing us $$$
Part of it, I'm sure, is that the A350 bug is comprehensively root-caused and that root cause is understood to be completely bounded by rebooting the system, whereas MCAS reduces the number of points of failure to, in certain builds of the 737 MAX, a single sensor.

They probably make more money with the amount of advertising they have on FB as compared to Instagram. That will probably change over time but is likely true today, hence why they are worried about a FB exudes.
Or that the family that runs Accuweather has been deeply enmeshed with the party of climate denialism for the past few decades. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-06-14/trump-s-p...
I distinctly remember people typing "RT @whoever some fake tweet they never said" as a joke or to be purposefully misleading. It solved a real problem with the old fake RT system.
Climate change isn’t disputed by logic. It’s being disputed by the commercial entities that are protecting their $billion/$trillion industries who, otherwise, would have to face big losses. We all know the industries that are negatively impacting the environment. Their selfish stakeholders have managed to successfully create a reality distortion field of denial. This article, with lack of mentioning global warming, is proof.
The beginning of that paragraph explains exactly why (regardless of it's sanity) they did this:

>Breezewood is a deliberately awkward transition between Interstate 70 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, where they (almost) meet. Back in the 1950s, as I-70 was being built, a law prohibited spending federal funds to channel drivers directly from a free road to a toll road. The law was later overturned, but to comply with it, highway planners designed a looping interchange that lets drivers avoid the turnpike if they (hypothetically) want to.

More detail from Wikipedia:

>I-70 uses a surface road (part of US 30) with at-grade intersections to connect the freeway heading south to Hancock, Maryland with the ramp to I-76, which through this section is the Pennsylvania Turnpike toll road. According to the Federal Highway Administration the peculiar arrangement at Breezewood resulted because at the time I-70's toll-free segment was built, the state did not qualify for federal funds under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 to build a direct interchange, unless it agreed to cease collecting tolls on the Turnpike once the construction bonds were retired;[11] a direct interchange would have meant that a westbound driver on I-70 could not choose between the toll route and a free alternative, but would be forced to enter the Turnpike. However, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission was not willing to build the interchange with its own funds, due to the expected decrease in revenue once Interstate 80 was completed through the state.[11] Accordingly, the state chose to build the unusual Breezewood arrangement in lieu of a direct interchange, thus qualifying for federal funds because this arrangement gave drivers the option of continuing on the untolled US 30.[11]

The https://www.criticalfrequency.org/drilled podcast is a great primer on this.
I too have hit many traffic jams in Breezewood. I purposely don't stop there any more as I don't want to reward them for lobbying against a real interchange.

This is one of only a handful of locations in the US where a highway travels along regular roads. I've heard though the state has finally approved funding for an interchange to be done by 2025 (last I heard).
Terrifying in the "this is the new normal" sort of way.
And don't think that driving a Tesla will actually reduce carbon footprint ;) Also I am not sure if CO2 is really the most problematic greenhouse gas, I think it's methane. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
How feasible is for Github to create an EU organization, which is effectively mirror of github.com? So all commits, issues,... are cloned in both. But .eu usage is not governed by US law. Also, repos can be blacklisted from .com/.eu based on rules.
A big correction:

Director Ivan Reitman

That director worked with Arnold on other movies, but isn’t associated with Orion or James Cameron or Dino De Laurentis, which was producing the Conan movies that Arnold was also working on at the time.

Ivan Reitman was doing comedies at the time (1984), and didn’t work with Arnold until 1988.

Considering Ivan Reitman shot his movies on location in New York, while James Cameron was producing his movies on the west coast, it’s fairly certain the entire comment is completely ficitious.
In my opinion, a rejection is an expected outcome, and therefore should have a response code of 200. You're not asking, "Does this card exist?", and sending a 404 if you have no record. You're asking a remote system to do a job for you, and if that job completes successfully, it's a "Success" in the HTTP world.

At that point, you rely on the body content to tell you what the service correctly determined for you. A result that the user doesn't like is way different than a result that comes about because something was done wrong at the client side (4xx) or a failure on the server side (5xx).
Could someone please explain that joke. For people who have watched Star Wars series it will be hard joke to understand. I have seen the more recent Star Wars movie but not the older ones in the series, so I understand few things but not deeply enough.
Some people are just super stubborn about it because they don't want to be wrong. I used to work with a guy who said climate change wasn't real, then after about a year of being the only person at work with that viewpoint, he accepted that it was real, but with the caveat that it's a good thing. He said that man-made global warming was going to help hold off the next ice age, so warming the planet now will pre-emptively save lives in the future. That makes no sense though, because we're experiencing extreme weather and mass extinction right now, and the next ice age isn't supposed to happen for over a thousand years.
It's obviously hard to debate counterfactuals but I disagree. I think having a publicly successful alternative available made the impact of deiselgate much worse (for EV alternatives/better for the planet).

Just like Nuclear can get away with being "better than coal" but in the face of plummeting wind, solar and storage costs its drawbacks get looked at with new eyes.

Or in some parallel dimension where deiselgate led to trillions being wasted on hydrogen fuel celled vehicles which never replaced ICE.
Two things that I believe with a heavy heart are equally true:

1) This is a magnificent bit of writing that everyone on HN should read; and

2) It will shortly be flagged into oblivion by a small number of HN readers, and then left there by moderators who would prefer not to offend those readers.

(Which may, in fact, make the author's point just as eloquently as his own words do.)

Yes, they can be devistating to agriculture as well. Animals are just as susceptible to heat stroke and dehydration.

Plants are of course similarly susceptible to extreme temperatures. There are tactics farmers can apply such as coating their crops but there are limits.

Pro tip for people who do not have airconditioning in their houses:

1. Go to universities

2. Go to co-working spaces

Go to any place to flee the heat.

I'm at my university right now, and I'm not even noticing it's as hot as it is since the airconditioning is doing an amazing job here.
Well to be fair... They were limited by what they were allowed to do. Normally they just build a highway interchange and call it a day. But Breezewood lobbies against it.
I dunno. Maybe we could start trying to do something about it? If you hate these "damn it's even hotter now" messages maybe you could take steps to fix the underlying issue?
No, I think the point made above is that you can still choose punishment because even with no free will involved, the future decision calculations need to observe a strong penalty to deciding yes for murder. This doesn't require free will any more than an if-then I write in code requires it.
There's a really solvable answer to that, though: ban people who do it. Enforce some controls on your platform.

But the search for more money continues...
I disagree; it should be possible to have private conversations regarding work, while at work.
I feel like this article covered that fairly well. The developers had no idea that this simple feature addition (which did nothing more than formalize what users were already doing) would result in what we have today.

Maybe you see further than others, but the rest of us are subject to the law of unintended consequences.

YMMV.
The former accuweather CEO was appointed to head the National Weather Service by Donald Trump.

This man had in the past lobbied to forbid the NWS from releasing weather data directly to the public, and gotten Rick Santorum (his home state senator) to propose a bill to that effect.
It's disputed by the argument to consequences.

"If climate change were happening, we would feel morally compelled to control our CO2 emissions; we don't want to control our CO2 emissions, therefore, climate change must not be happening."
Fair, but the mere mention of the phrase "climate change" is better than pretending it's some anomaly and we have no idea why.

I know, I know - I don't want to soapbox here. But we're spiraling towards disaster in our lifetimes and I can't help but think that hundreds of millions are blissfully unaware.
Or maybe it's Europeans sweating in 40°C heat (>100°F) without AC.

>Because, otherwise, what's the point on having these "summer is hotter than it used to be" articles all day up?

Maybe let's do something about it or it will only get worse?
I think it's funny, this developer is calling his users 4-Year-Olds. Reminds me when we used to call them lusers.

Good luck! My wife and I were fond of Texas (well... really only Austin and select parts of Houston) -- but I was more fond of having four seasons than anything Austin had to offer. A move to Boston convinced her pretty easily and since then we're both on the same page about sticking to places with similar climates. We would love to see our friends in Texas more but ever moving back is a very hard no, both due to weather and politics.

I also grew up in Europe for a few years at least.
I don't actually believe that, though. I think they're confusing the effects that rapid growth and their own cowardice in refusing to slow that growth by kicking bad actors off the platform had with the effects of adding a button to do what users were doing already.
Reading through some of the comments here, it occurs to me that there's a moral trilemma at play here: you can have power, you can have righteousness, or you can have impartiality, but you must pick 2 out of 3. If you bring something new into the world that gives new voice or new capabilities to previously disenfranchised groups, then you have a choice between explicitly selecting who you bestow this power on (in which case you can preserve your righteousness, but sacrifice impartiality), or giving this gift away free to everyone who can make use of it (in which case you remain impartial, but will inevitably end up empowering people you find morally abhorrent). Or you can choose to do nothing and never bring anything useful into the world, which is also valid, but means you're eclipsed by people who do.

Silicon Valley (and science/tech in general) has traditionally selected power & impartiality, while nation-states and religions have traditionally selected power & righteousness. Many of the commenters here would seemingly select righteousness & impartiality, which perhaps speaks to why we're discussing this on a message board rather than bringing startups into the world.
I stopped at this exit a dozen times at least. I am genuinely surprised that I have as many distinct memories as I do about a meme about banal American suburbia. I, wildly unsuccessful, tried to flirt with a college crush in that gateway. I got a shitty sub from that quiznos. I was grumpy when I got woken up from a car nap here.

I hate suburbia more than most, but I have alot of memories from this meme of plastic America.
This. Tesla's carts do not work for me from practicality POV, but even if they released the most bestest car in the world, I will never, ever give Elon a red cent.
Do you realize you are employing typical defence of any conspiracy theory when facing the fact that an alleged conspiracy doesn't look consistent to be real? And I mean absolutely literally. That exact statement I heard from people who believe in ZOG.
I met Linus at the Linux BOF at the 1994 Boston USENIX. Very ironically, I have Linus to thank for a long career using FreeBSD. It sounds like a cheap shot, but please hear me out:

I was sysadmin'ing a university stats department at the time, and NFS use was very important. I had been trying to use Linux on 486's, but performance of xdvi (with NFS mounted fonts) was abysmal. A 486 would take minutes to render the same page that a wimpy DECStation could render in a second. From tcpdump, I figured out it was because Linux did not do any sort of NFS caching at the time, and xdvi wandered around font files one byte at a time.

I asked Linus at the BOF when they planned to implement NFS. He told me NFS was unimportant, nobody used it, and so on.

I then attended the FreeBSD BOF where a clean shaven guy in a collared shirt was giving a power point presentation. I asked about NFS there, and was told it should work fine. When I got home from the conference, I switched the 486 to FreeBSD, and it worked just fine.

I eventually did OS research on FreeBSD, was one of a few people to port FreeBSD to the DEC Alpha, and I now do kernel performance work for a large CDN, where we run FreeBSD.

How are they not normal and necessary? Are you willing to give up electricity for 6 hours of your day to combat climate change? I think most people aren't willing to do that. If you were to take the problem seriously you'd need to start doing things like that and no one wants for their quality of life to decrease that much.
