There is no life anywhere on Earth that is able to survive 90 atm and 500 deg C, like the surface of Venus. And fwiw, the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs is one of the milder mass extinction events in Earth's history. We are on trajectories in excess of those that predated the worst mass die-offs in Earth's history, and more resemble the lead-up to Venusian conditions.
Plot twist: aliens have already come to visit us on earth, but sadly humanity seems to forget, or struggles to distinguish between evidence and hoax.

I JUST ran into this. It's not good for tech searches for this very reason. I was trying to look up an issue with an application, and every link I clicked on was from 7 years ago.

I switched to google and instantly grabbed some ones from 2019
The switch should include a simple series resistor of a few hundred ohm to protect this pin against over-voltage.
Thanks, I didn't know that detail. `chcp 65001` seems to work.

I like the way they handle it in Python 3.6. They use their own internal encoding, then bypass the regular console byte API when they need to output a string, allowing full Unicode.
When I worked at Best Buy years ago our Inventory/LP manager was fired (and later arrested from what I heard) because he was involved in a theft ring with other Inventory/LP managers/supervisors across the district. If I remember correctly, they were transferring items between stores and then saying they never arrived.
Yup, thanks for that, this is what I meant.
> suppose someone had broken into my house over the last 5 years and stolen something from one of those receptacles that was eventually thrown out. should I be upset? now note that I'm not asking if I'm legally entitled to being upset but whether it would be rational to be upset.

A person's response to being burglarized is never purely rational. You've got the distress of the initial discovery, followed by the subsequent process of figuring out what (if anything) they stole, modified, or left behind, and the process of reporting the crime to authorities. Then you'll deal with self-blame about not investing more in home security and uncertainty about whether these thieves will come back for what they left behind (did they break in knowing you were gone, or did they mistakenly think you were home...?). Even if you had excellent video surveillance coverage that proved that they only took stuff you'd forgotten about, the burglar(s) violated your personal space, which obviously feels pretty awful, and may have broken something on their way in. The negativity of getting burglarized is irrational in nature and difficult to quantify in economic terms, but is nevertheless real.

In conclusion, I'd say every victim of B&E has great reasons to be upset, regardless of what (if anything) was stolen.

The best/worst parts:

- Valuing innovation while saying that nothing should ever change in their relationships with employees

- Using the words "vulnerability to organizing" and "dangers of organizing" as if it's a terrible disease

- Saying that unionizing employees aren't displaying "normal behavior"

- Calling the phrase "living wage" a warning sign

- Refusing to explain why it is that employees might want to unionize
Uhm, modern Germany? Many companies have labor representatives on board (for example Volkswagen). The country is just fine.

Who would do such a thing! We should get back to my grandfather times, he was happy because he was a child, and children did not only get a few potatoes to eat per day, but also a little bit of oil with it. Also I suppose it's kind of romantic to have sex with a stranger on the barricades before being shot to death and having your body join the decomposing pile of bodies in the streets.

I am writing a short manual on SSL/TLS/HTTPS/Cryptography and i am wanting to know what people would like to see in such an ebook.
I want to think of it as a "missing manual" that you could hand to someone to quickly read up on the subject and have all the basic knowledge needed to join discussions in the field. Or to start a course that touches on the subject and required basic knowledge.
By short i mean about 20,000 to 25,000 words.
Not this.

When using DDG a couple of years back, I noticed that after a while, throwing in a !g became my default so I figured I might as well switch back to Google. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to love DDG but for my searches, I would simply have to revert to Google too often.
When an E.T race becomes capable of utilizing the amount of energy it would take to do interstellar travel in a reasonable amount of time, they can probably, accidently, or on purpose, use that energy to cause a lot of damage to a planet.

For example, an interstellar traffic accident at near light speed of a sufficiently massive object would cause a lot of damage to a planet.
all of that is certainly true but not the point of my thought experiment because I'm sure Amazon the corporation doesn't experience emotional distress from having its personal space violated (so I'm sure that there won't be punitive damages for emotional distress in their sentences).
Yes, I am. The sort of network architecture you describe works great, but unless I'm seriously misunderstanding the article (which maybe I am!), all the use cases where you'd want VXLAN or Wireguard on IPv4 are incompatible with such an architecture on IPv6.

I will grant that IPv6 + ULAs + BGP + flat networks is easier to think about than IPv4 + 10.0.i++.0/24 + BGP + flat network because you have basically unlimited ULAs, but "You have to pick a unique 10.0.i++.0 for each machine, and that's annoying" doesn't seem like the primary thing the article is trying to forget. If you can do a hierarchical routed IPv6 network, you can almost certainly do it with IPv4, too.
It would seem we are both ridiculously lucky and also quite unfortunate to have fossil fuels.

Carl Sagan rationalized the Fermi paradox in terms of nuclear annihilation in one of his Cosmos episodes, which was created during endgame of the cold war. The same episode introduced the Drake equation too.

This article framing the paradox in context of climate change is simply doing the same thing, framing it in context of our most pressing existential threats of the day. Also, like Sagan, implicitly overstating the impacts of those threats to us as a species.

Its a useless exercise and brings no new information to understanding the Fermi paradox and doesn't bring us anywhere closer to resolving it.

Edit and clarification, since I think some people take issue with what I wrote above:

========

Existential threats I mentioned, nuclear and climate change, are in their worst possible realizations will be planetary wide catastrophes which have the power to cause us, as a species, enormous harm.

But they do not measure up as the existential threats implied by Sagan or author of this article : so they are not answers to the Fermi paradox.

I am looking at these two things strictly from POV of the paradox, not as pressing policy issues.
What if we have met them, but anyone who admits to it is dismissed as crazy?

What if we have met them, but they routinely sedate their subjects and administer a memory block?

What if we have met them, but only as random test subjects because they have no respect for us whatsoever, so they see no point in trying to establish diplomatic contact?

Besides, it's not like we have a world government yet. "Stupid primitives."

> still have no chance

Is that proven? I highly doubt it.
If you don't have a null, then you have to set aside some value for the type as the default value. With null, you get a seg fault if you try and use it.

Without a null, you'll need to create a special default value which performs the same function - giving an error if you try to use it.

Floating point values have NaN for this, UTF-8 code units have 0xFF. The D programming language uses NaN and 0xFF to default initialize these types. NaN is good because it is "sticky", meaning if a result is computed that depended on a NaN, the result is NaN as well.

Some people complain about this, wanting floats to be 0.0 default initialized. But then it would be nearly impossible to tell if an unintended 0.0 crept into the calculation.

> More like "String and null"

Null's replacement, Maybe and Optional, still have the extra check.

Anecdata: people are spoiled with google. Context-aware search queries are rampant in younger folks.

If I recall correctly, I had a $400 HP Pavilion with a CD-RW around 2000 and used CoolEdit Pro ($20) to create fitness mixes. I used it to cross fade and beat match. CoolEdit was since bought by Adobe and is now Adobe Audition.

But if all you wanted to do was create mix CDs. While not especially cheap, parallel port CD writers were available for PCs for less than $300 by 1999 and bundled with Eazy CD Creator. This was also around the time where ISPs were giving away PCs to sign up for dial up.
limit javascript to 640K of memory. so easy to implement and would fix most sites. Some other things like custom fonts could be removed from mobile browsers. The rest should be OK - 2 or 3 more seconds to load a page are not important really. After all, reading an article usually takes entire minutes, so shaving off the initial 2 seconds of reading is immaterial.
I would have thought this was parody if it hadn't recently featured in John Oliver's Last Week Tonight...

AMP still includes javascript that does many retarded things, including hiding the site contents until the JS is loaded, often from 3rd party CDNs. So if you're blocking the amp JS then the site just shows a blank screen, until some CSS animation trickery blends it in a few seconds later.

In other words if you use a content blocker AMP can be slower than the page would be without it.
I will have to take the other side of that golden rule. Not sure where it came from. But when one has a decent handle on the tools at hand, they work wonderously well.

I have bare metal servers tied together with L3 routing via Free Range Routing running BGP/VxLAN. It Just Works.

No hard coded vlans between physical machines. Just point-point L3 links. Vlans are tortuous between machines as a Layer 2 protocol, given spanning tree and all of its slow to converge madness.

Therefore a different Golden Rule:

Always. Overlay. Your. Network.

> extra vapers, but fewer smokers

That does not seem to follow. Based on existing trends you just get extra vapers without fewer young people smoking.

In terms of health issues for young teenagers vaping is fairly high on the list largely due to simple numbers. If we need to have young teens taking nicotine, why not the patch or gum which seem to be safer.
This is badly conflating things. Few care how any particular family divides up their responsibilities. It's only the gender part, the lack of agency, that is criticized.

A woman shouldn't have to be a homemaker and a man shouldn't have to be a breadwinner but it's fine if they choose those things for themselves in a society that will accept and respect them regardless.
Seattle's second tallest tower rises on steel plates, without rebar
Light takes 4 years to reach the next closest star.

And yes, someone in a vessel traveling near-light speeds won't age all 4 of those years. But we do. It will be, for us, 8 years before someone hops to the next closest star and back.

Same with information from an unmanned probe. Even if we can beam it back at light speed, it will take years to get back here. And we're talking about going somewhere we know about.

In terms of exploration, forget it. Space is kind of infinite. Not knowing if there would be something when you get there is going to be a waste of years back here on Earth.
> Dragonfly is the invention of a guy named Dan Harkins. Dan Harkins took it upon himself to retrofit elliptic curves onto first-generation multiplicative-group PAKEs like SRP. We’re losing you here but bear with me: there were PAKE protocols that used the same simple math as Diffie Hellman, and Dan Harkins tried to design one that used ECC. Anyways, when Harkins tried to get his new PAKE included in TLS, Trevor Perrin broke it in a mailing list post. The story goes on and involves the NSA and a bunch of intrigue and is worth looking into. Oh how we laughed.

> And then WPA3 was released and, oh look, there’s Harkins’ Dragonfly protocol, right there in our wireless handshakes.

> It’s pretty clear to us that the WiFi standards groups triggered some ancient mummy curse, because the WiFi standards by themselves are a master class in everything that can go wrong with a crypto protocol. And, as Vanhoef and Ronen show, WPA3 is by itself a lesson in everything that can go wrong with a single handshake: invalid curve attacks! Protocol downgrade attacks! Timing attacks! They’ll teach this one in schools, unless the WiFi people come up with WPA4 or something, which will surely be even worse.

This can’t be real.

Are the WiFi standards groups really as incompetent as this page makes them out to be? These are the standards that everybody uses, right?
If Amazon's work force unionizes, Amazon will cease to be a dynamic company that sees rapid foreign expansion and growth in export revenue it earns for the US.

The US will see yet another major driver of innovation and production growth, this time the tech industry, succumb to social activists and their rent-seeking-motivated ideological narratives.

A century of pro-union-monopoly advocacy will not change the fact that unions as generally conceived are anti-market interventions and thus economically unsound.
In one of the many debates on this topic I've participated in, one of my favorite (because it is optimistic) scenario is that we are not alone and the other civilizations are waiting to see if we kill ourselves or not before they stop by to chat.

That line of reasoning started with, "If we knew then, what we know now, would we have claimed the new world for conquest?" There are examples that we would not, for example protecting Brazilian indigenous peoples who have not contacted the outside world from being visited by people. Would "modern" western Europeans wait for the native Americans to sail east and meet them? One could hope they would. With a careful understanding of infectious diseases and respecting their traditions and culture.

It is arguably the case that we have lost much in terms of culture, ideas, and diversity through genocidal colonialism. Would a more enlightened civilization decide not to go there? I would like to think so.

> If anything is important enough, I'll visit the Reddit live thread

Reddit uses AMP. If you search via Google for a Reddit thread, you'll get an AMP link. I sometimes see Redditors posting AMP links to other Reddit threads, presumably because Google search is more effective than Reddit's own search.

> or if it's not time sensitive, it will be in the news 2-3 weeks later, at which point it's probably worth reading

Google shows AMP for all search results, not just the current-news carousel. If I search for 'Sandy Hook shooting' on my phone, I see a Wikipedia onebox, the first search result which is Wikipedia (no AMP), a handful of news articles from the last few weeks, and then the remainder of the actual search results: a Business Insider article from December 2018 (AMP), an ABC article from 2014 (AMP), a Reuters article from a few weeks ago (AMP), an NBC article from a few weeks ago (AMP), a CBS News article from 2017 (AMP), a Britannica article (no AMP), and two YouTube videos (no AMP).

AMP is a defense against the increasing noise about copyright violation by including snippets and caching. It lets them say "But, Your Honor, they provided an AMP version knowing that it's intended specifically for this purpose."

The solution to the Fermi paradox can't be be something that most civilizations fail, it has to be a challenge that's impossible to pass.

The Fermi paradox posits that there should have been huge numbers of spacefaring civilizations for millions of years before mankind evolved. If you postulate a candidate great filter that lies ahead of humanity then it must have filtered out every single expansionist civilization in our galaxy up till now.

The solution that makes most sense to me is simply that we did the stats wrong when combining estimates of the factors of the equation, and our best guesses predict very few other civilizations: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/07/03/ssc-journal-club-disso...
Look into the Broken Windows theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

If you let criminals get away with breaking into someone's house and stealing things, it sends a message to other people that crime is allowed. Crime rates start to rise because no one is doing anything about it. People who were not criminals before are now comfortable being criminals because they know they won't be caught.

If you don't prosecute the small crimes, it often leads to bigger crimes.
