I think China is doing more for renewable energy than any other country combined. Bar maybe India.

They are building solar panel, wind turbines at a frantic pace, pushing really hard for electrification because of said pollution.

Yes they are still building new coal stations, yes atrocious things are happening there, but renewable energy? China is the reason it's so cheap

If you've got money to eat, you can afford to wait. If you know people in your area follow through on their contracts, research, etc, you can trust that you'll actually see the money in a year. And if you're confident you'll still have money to eat in six months, you don't need it now for a rainy day fund. (And if you know you'll have the same address in a year, you can expect to get found with the money; Nicaragua isn't crimson just because people are impatient.)

Ask HN: How to recover disabled Facebook account?
My Facebook account, about 15 years old (yes, going back to the days when it was only open to those at certain colleges), was disabled without warning:

Your Account Has Been Disabled
For more information, or if you think your account was disabled by mistake, please visit the Help Center.

The Help Center link says:

Why was my account disabled?
Your account was disabled for violating Facebook's Terms. Please review our Community Standards to learn more about what's allowed on Facebook. If you think your account was disabled by mistake, please let us know.

The "let us know" link gives me a form which I've filled out with a copy of my driver's license (and heard nothing back), but based on what it says I don't think it's the right outlet. When searching for "disabled" in Help Center, I see

Why is my account disabled?
We disable Facebook accounts that don't follow the Facebook Terms.
Some examples include:
Posting content that doesn't follow the Facebook Terms.
Using a fake name.
Impersonating someone.
Continuing behavior that's not allowed on Facebook by violating our Community Standards.
Contacting other people for the purpose of harassment, advertising, promoting, or other conduct that's not allowed.

I do not believe any of the above applies to me:

* I almost never posted anything to Facebook, much less anything political/controversial. Mostly I used the account to sometimes "Like" companies when required to enter giveaways.

* I used my real name.

* I never contacted anyone other than a couple of times to request customer support for non Facebook-related products.

I do not know anyone who works at Facebook. Suggestions?

Yeah, ......._ (what a strange nickname!), they might have a good-faith belief that the software is bug-free and without security holes, but such a belief is likely mistaken. It's not absolutely guaranteed to be mistaken — earlier in the thread, someone compared BootOS to some Woz code, and as far as I know nobody has ever found a bug in Woz's Apple Integer BASIC — but it's very likely to be mistaken.

Exactly. SoftEther is also one of the only linux servers I know of that can do Microsoft's SSTP protocol, which is convenient since it's built in to Windows and looks like HTTPS. I'm not sure SoftEther's own SSL protocol is widely used, or it's more used for site-to-site.

That depends to which tier of hospital you go. On the other end, of course, I have a friend who had to get treatment in Italy and was required to bring her own needles. This was in-patient surgery.

I don't see how 1.5 billion trees is enough to offset the UK's carbon emission rate. If you go by a tree sequestering a ton of carbon over a 40 year lifetime, and the UK emitting 368 megatons per year... you're sequestering on average 37.5 million tons per year (less when they're young, more when they're old), which is only one tenth of what the UK emits in one year.

Plant 15 billion trees and then you're carbon neutral, on average, for the 40 years, and carbon negative if they live longer. But isn't that like planting trees on half of the land of the UK?
No, news and media companies use paywalls and still bombard you with ads. Activist and independent journalist likely just care about spreading truth for the betterment of humanity.
The Patented Medicine Prices Review Board [1] regulates drug prices in Canada. Politically it's easier for the US Government to look at band-aid solutions, such as this, rather than address the issue through regulation.

I am not an expert so this is an uneducated guess, but probably because it's easier to allow competition than to force lower prices on a market riddled with regulatory capture.

Only to a certain extent. It's largely outweighed by the amount of benefit your credit score is receiving by eventually having multiple aged accounts.

Haswell wasn't quite out yet when the article was written, so that was true at the time.
Because Americans don't "save" their money in traditional savings accounts anymore. They shove it in investment accounts of varying types (less common) or retirement accounts (more common). When there's an emergency we tend to put it on credit and then use the time that buys to get money out of one of those other accounts and pay down the balance. Even many people who are living paycheck to paycheck are making some sort of 401k contribution which, while not a proper "savings" slush fund, can serve the same purpose of being able to cover an emergency expense if needed.

> Doesn't opening that many accounts every year hurt your credit score?

Yes.

However, you'll still be in the 80th+ percentile of credit scores. Additionally, the number of applications you've made contribute only around 10% to your credit score.
Honestly I think there are lot of people making enough money but just spend it all and not save for a rainy day. Just how many high end trucks and SUV you see people driving. Or expensive phones. Or eating out at expensive places.
MOST PEOPLE dont undersand what is or isnt correct demarcation, and what order to read things in.

. / - _ (dot, slash, dash, underscore) all mean very specific things, and different things in different context (period specifically), and if you dont have their meanings memorized and what order to read things in, (right to left from the tld, pausing at each period, then left to right from the first slash, pausing at each slash) then URLs look like illegible nonsense.

As another credit card churner, there are a couple of notes I can add:
1. Always pay your card in full on time.

2. Signup bonuses are the only aspect of churning that is worth it to most people. If you can manage to spend $3000 on a credit card in 3 months, you can get signup bonuses that are definitely worth your time. $4000 or $5000 levels in 3 months exist as well and are better. Typical signup bonuses can be worth $500 at the $3000 level, representing a 16% discount on everything you buy.

3. You can pay your federal taxes on a credit card for a 2% surcharge, and most state taxes as well for a similar charge. This is best done as estimated quarterly taxes. Minimize your withholding at work to maximize the value of this. You can pay your utility bills ahead of time for free as well.

4. If you don't go for airline miles, the other option is cash back rewards.

5. An easy way to keep track of the cards: every time you apply for a card, take screenshots of the date and bonus criteria from the signup website. Save this in a google drive folder with the date in YYYY-MM-DD as the start of the folder name. Now you can easily track cards by date, and cancel them as needed.

Well now I hope I've made a few people a bit more savvy.
To give the most sympathetic explanation, Epstein's clearly shows sociopathic tendencies, or at least extreme talent as a conman, and probably lulled his billionaire buddies into a misguided sense of trust. it's very hard to justify remaining close to him after his first conviction, but there are plenty of examples of people remaining connected after other celebrities committed similarly heinous crimes, R Kelly for example.

It may very well be that some people were complicit with Epstein, but none of us are in any way qualified to speculate on that end
No? Independent is unusual, most journalists work for an organization. Activist is also unusual and probably somewhat controversial; I'm guessing many journalists would say their job is to be objective, not to be an activist.
I hate Electron apps as much as the next person, but it's indisputable that to get a simple desktop app deployed, Electron is easier, and to me that signifies that it serves a purpose, at least in the prototyping space.

I have like 10 ESP32's lying around my house, they're fun to tinker with, but my Raspberry Pis get a lot more attention from me because there is a substantially lower cognitive overhead with them than the ESPs. If I had a plan on selling my stuff, then yeah, the Raspberry Pi might be overkill and I'd consider going for an MCU module. However, for a fun little DIY project, I don't see how an RPi is a problem.

EDIT:
Realized I forgot to mention another point; not everyone really wants to muck with pointer arithmetic for simple things; this app was written in Python, and as far as I know, the ESP32 chips are mostly C/Arduino; I realize that there exists NodeMCU and such variants, but due to the Raspberry Pi being "Just a computer", you have access to virtually every language under the sun.

Prices are low in Canada because they have the negotiating power of the entire country behind their single payer system driving prices down. To do the same in the US would require taking on the very powerful (because they have huge piles of cash from drug prices being so high) pharma lobby and getting it past the rabidly pro business Republican party. The only real way to do it would be a) move to a more centralized insurance system to negotiate prices (did you know Medicare the largest insurance in the US can't legally negotiate the prices it will pay for drugs?) or b) have legal limits on the prices of drugs set by fiat.

I'm dubious this is going anywhere, it seems like a ploy to get some talking points for the election in 2020.
I’m patiently waiting for a Pi Zero format for new Pi 4B (or something close...).

Regarding the size of B series, unless I need the ports, I almost always snip out the ports — don’t bother desoldering it, the ground plane in Pi acts as a massive heat sink. Instead, I snip slowly and carefully the metal housing of ports, and then wiggle the plastic bits until the break away. Reduces the size, and leaves sufficient space to put small modules in place.

It's basic rent-seeking.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking

> The word "rent" does not refer specifically to payment on a lease but rather to Adam Smith's division of incomes into profit, wage, and rent.[4] The origin of the term refers to gaining control of land or other natural resources.

Our current regulatory environment sets up a situation where you can only buy medication from either one manufacturer, or a limited set of manufacturers, who then charge whatever they want.

But, going into more detail is very political, and much more political than I think is appropriate for a Hacker News discussion.
The issue is that it's patience at age 4, so kids have had maybe two years to learn even very basic expectation-and-outcome patterns. The effect people often describe where adult poverty teaches you to spend now before you lose your money isn't going to have kicked in yet.

That doesn't rule out food insecurity or other unfulfilled commitments teaching kids this result, but it has to be something earlier and more subtle than the established patterns of wealth in adults.
Fixed precision decimal works as well and may (or may not) require less cognitive load. The nice thing (imho) about using decimal types in code is that since they're uncommon they act as a signal to treat things carefully.

As for tree planting - absolutely necessary, but without a political solution, it won't do much but buy a bit of time. And that is ONLY true if we stop ongoing, accelerating deforestation.

A political solution would likely be better than individuals trying to plant a few trees.
Amen to that. It's easy to trade away free time and benefits when you're 25. Once that means not seeing your kids as much, money doesn't seem so important. As my ex's dad used to say: "Not a lot of people lie on their deathbed wishing they had spent more time in the office."

Journalists are supposed to have ethics. They are supposed to report the facts. About as activist as you could get without ditching ethics would be to only do real journalism on what you think matters. I bet it would be fairly easy to create a tool nowadays that reads articles and highlights objective journalism vs subjective activism. Most 'journalism' nowadays is thinly veiled propaganda.
That reminds me of the seen in the first Antonio Banderas Zorro movie. Anthony Hopkins' character asks the wannabe Zorro how to fence, and wannabe Zorro says you stick the pointy end in the other guy. The "basic" stuff is actually everything you have to master to avoid getting killed in your very first duel.
That sounds like defeat to me.
Why not Mexico also? I'm guessing racism or people will say they are fake drugs. Since I moved to Mexico about 10 months ago my health problems have been treated with Mexican-bought medication only and my symptoms have not gotten any worse. Except for when I run out and need to get more.

I mean there are places like Walmart, some pretty large pharmacy chains, etc. It seems like people would not tolerate a significant amount of counterfeit medication.

When I was growing up, until I was about 16, my parents never, ever went on vacations (their only vacation in their life had been going on honeymoon, 1 week to a city 300Km away... and staying in a room in their relative's house).

Now, after working all their life, they can afford some middle range vacations every year.

This is what people that take responsibility for their life do, I guess, so I can't see any problem with 28% of people not being able to afford something that is basically a luxury.
