To only look at only emissions by weight is a trap many fall into and vastly underestimates the impact animal agriculture has on 'climate change' when accounting for all factors. It drives around 75% of rain forest degredation [0], is the single biggest driver of habitat loss [1] and accounts for approximately 55% of land erosion [2], which all have massive escalatory effects on global warming.

Animal agriculture specifically represents 44 percent of anthropogenic methane emissions, the primary driver of climate change related to livestock, as methane is 34 times more potent than carbon dioxide over 100 years[3]; comprises 44 percent of all anthropogenic nitrous oxide emissions, the most potent GHG[3]; and
makes up 75-80 percent of total agricultural emissions.[4]

Looking at emissions by metric tonnes is not just ignorant - it sets the completely wrong precedent of how we should view animal agriculture. Animal agriculture in its current state is dangerous, and should be treated with as much disdain as fossils fuels are.

They mention the relay attack. You hav an antenna amd amp. You press a button and the car challenges the key. The amp makes it reach the key.
If it can be made faster then it's fine, BUT that colleague needs to write a test first if it wasn't there yet (and I think it was given how you're fixing wrong results / debugging).
Western society rose to prominence because of a few values: respect for property rights, intellectual property and personal freedom. America is far from perfect but was based on these ideals.

It's maybe a simplistic view of the world and East vs West... But the recent HK protests can be rationalized through this lens.

I think respect for intellectual property and human rights will determine whether China continues it's march forward or not...
My original comment was quite ignorant, then, and I apologize for it. They’ve got quite a few at my Micro Center for $449 if you purchase a compatible motherboard, so I was (incorrectly) assuming that this applied to the rest of the world too.
Good feedback.

I struggled with deciding if I should write activities that illustrate the full algorithm for derivatives and antiderivatives. At this time I left it out, but I do have the materials...

The book was written with a bit of a promise to keep the algebra out, and overdoing it on Monkey Rules (derivatives) and Lucifer's Rules (antiderivatives) breaks that promise. That said, calculating derivatives and antiderivatives is the fundamental algebraic task of a calculus student.

I'm thinking about your feedback right now... and will likely make adjustments in the near future to introduce optional tracks for extra practice on this.
The reality is that there is very little actual innovation happening in programming. Most of the ideas in use today have been discovered decades ago. The big reason for churn is that people don't bother learning about what's been done before, and keep reinventing the wheel.

You don't see in other disciplines such as physics or chemistry where people spend years learning about existing research before actually starting to contribute.

With programming the barrier to starting to write code is much lower than to actually learning the background research. People don't bother looking at what's been done already, and just start "inventing" things.

More often than not this result in half baked ideas because the authors of projects don't really think about the full scope of the problem. Then once the project starts hitting limits in practice, people start kludging things on top of it, and eventually it becomes unwieldy to use. Then somebody comes by and does the same thing simplistically again, and the cycle repeats. Nothing new is learned in this process, and you get churn for the sake of churn.
Employees == Company
How would the victims quoted here have any idea if their cars were opened with a relay attack? Someone grabbed your bag? It’s more likely that you forgot to lock your car than that you were a relay attack victim. Especially if you were in such a bad state that one of you literally passed out at the airport.

But also how are manufacturers still selling vulnerable cars? This seems like a class-action lawsuit waiting to happen. Relay attacks have been a known vulnerability with known solutions for years.

I didn't know that. Still, somebody would have to build capacity to handle demand and it won't be much faster just because it is TSMC/GF.
It's not the getting in part that's the problem, it's starting the car that is. When key-based immobilisers got introduced in the 90s the rate of car theft has dropped through the floor, because suddenly thieves couldn't start the car as easily as before. The keyless relay attack allows thieves not only to open but also to start the car within seconds, all of which without triggering the alarm.
>Food microwaved in borosilicate glass food containers is unlikely to pick up plasticizers.

Just make sure you don't use Pyrex if you want to use borosilicate glass. Unless it's decades old, Pyrex isn't borosilicate any more, even though they charge prices as if they were. It's a total rip-off. To get borosilicate these days, it seems you have to buy it from China.
The first half of the statement is a load of crap because forest fires will accelerate glacial melt and climate instability. Heck, Thunderf00t just debunked the recent Somalia virtue-signaling as completely futile. What needs to happen is net zero carbon emissions with large-scale permanent carbon sequestration. Tens of trillions of USD to get back to pre-industrial levels of GHGs is affordable and vital.

- Curtail use of fossil-fuels and animal agriculture

- Switch from carbon-polluting Portland cement manufacturing to carbon neutral or negative cement production

- Iron seed the oceans to spur seaweed blooms

- Seaweed: Salvage, closed-system burn and bury carbon emissions deep

- Also, separate CO2 from air and bury it

- Reintroduce large managed herds of grazing animals at the interface of desertification to restore grassland soil health

- Resurrect wooly mammoth hybrids in large herds to deforest arboreal tundra back to grassland tundra to stop carbon and land loss
In the US, that would be title II of the 1964 civil rights act, taking the broad view of it that has developed in case law over the years. I would also support new FCC net neutrality style regulations or even new acts of Congress that strengthened this.
Its been good samsung, but a jack is not negotiable. Its looking more and more like I will just buy a pile of spares for my phone and soldier on. None of the newer offerings can even boast parity with the features I value. Physical buttons, jacks, removable sim and sd cards, removable battery, waterproof, rugged, good camera, and an ir blaster. Bonus is a good D/A converter, great camera, great battery life, and backlight with a huge range from dark to intense.

Its weird. I really want to buy a new phone, cash in hand, but am beyond disappointed in what is available now. Everyone seems like they are still trying to copy apple, but missing the usability tradeoff on bloated android roms (lookin at you samsung). If you don't mind giving me a clunky but useful OS, why not a clunky but useful phone? I feel like I must be the only person in the market not buying a fashion accessory, wealth signaling device or a burner. Just give me something ugly and practical, im going to put a case on it anyway. Please.

Law firms are usually organized as LLPs, LLCs, or PCs these days, but bottom line that means ownership shares can't be freely transferred. You can't sell your stake, so there's no opportunity for a major liquidity event like you might experience as an employee compensated in stock at a corporation when the stock increases in value dramatically and you sell.

Worse yet, lawyers have to keep working to continue to receive equity compensation in the overwhelming majority of cases. So you can't retire and continue to make money from your equity stake. You can't even really cut back on the crazy hours. This answer covers it pretty thoroughly: https://www.quora.com/Do-partners-in-law-firms-keep-a-share-...

I think that people tend to perceive HN as overwhelmingly believing whatever the opposite of their opinion is any time there is a significant debate on something. Unless there is overwhelming support for our own position, we feel that we are in a hostile environment.
> ...grew into startup culture, not FOSS/copyleft culture

Your comment there is quite powerful - and i believe true! So, ok, what are next steps in discovering similar high quality content like Linux Journal? Because as it happens, my discovery mode for finding good content is hacker news...though half of the things i ignore because they tend to shift the way of startup culture, which while entertaining, isn't as fulfilling as true FOSS/copyleft culture. So, do you - or anyone else here - have any recommendations to find good content like Linux Journal or any other FOSS/copyleft culture content but through an aggregated site like hacker news? (I use HN not because i'm lazy but because of lack of time; again half of stuff discovered is meh, the other half is good.)
The problem isn't the libraries. The problem is you don't have CI (with a dashboard your team is paying attention to). Check-in -> automatic build -> automatic unit test execution -> signals if the build is ready
You can probably rest assured that that won't happen. The type of thieves interested in quickly/easily/silently breaking into your car are probably not the same as the type of thieves who are willing to turn it into a violent crime. Probably.

Why? If your dog is a pet, it should be neutered. Sperm quality shouldn't be an issue.
The chip could keep encryption keys in RAM (since it’s always powered by the battery and there’s always gonna be enough juice in there to power it given its tiny power consumption) and if the chip loses power (due to being desoldered) the keys are lost preventing the phone from authenticating it.
The idea that the 'doers' are the only ones that matter, and that drawing attention to issues is mere posturing for social standing is a bad-faith critique of many people who act with good intentions.

Yes, there are always those seeking to attach their names to worthy causes for their own gains. However people have taken that legitimate critique and amplified it to the degree that "If you aren't fixing the problem, you have zero right to complain about it" which is flatly ridiculous. You can be in a position where helping fix a given problem is simply not possible for any one of thousands of understandable reasons, but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to speak about it, if for no other reason than so the other people who are able to help might know about it.

People like to rip on others for the perception that they only draw awareness to issues and nothing more, but what exactly is a 20-something in college supposed to do? They often don't have disposable income, they often lack the means to travel to places, unless they are in the right college chances are they can't join a protest, the one resource they have in abundance is time. And so they use what they have to generate whatever impact they can.

However small it might be, that impact is still worlds more helpful than the collected caws of "WhY aReN'T yoU fIxINg iT YOuRseLf?!"

I think Google pays a lot of its "tech professionals" a huge salary – it's just easier to break out and analyse for a single unit like DeepMind.
A RISC-V mainframe would be an interesting and funny outcome.
And freedom of speech. Without that, code will become the domain of only big industry. Code is speech. And when speech is free, even when dangerous, so is code.
You've just voiced the thing I dislike most about the HN. And I do not fully agree with "Gackle and Bell, by contrast, practice a personal, focussed, and slow approach to moderation". The faceless "we" they love so much does not appear very personal to me.

Disclaimer: I have an axe to grind having my account with 9k+ karma and dating back to 2009 banned for whatever. Despite that I am trying my best to look at the situation objectively and I still do not like it.

It is popular to compare reddit with HN and my take would be like this: reddit is like a part of the Universe where stars are still (maybe moving a bit past this though) born, and there is life and dynamics. HN, otoh, seems to be inching closer and closer to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe
Probably because their margins are roughly -100%.
At a micro level, I would say that a rubber V-belt on a pulley which is transferring significant force is slipping as an unavoidable element of delivering that force.

What traction control/ABS does is keep the the tire slip ratio in the right range to optimize acceleration. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Typical-tire-longitudina...

What we intuit about whether or not we're slipping our tires every time we brake for and then drive away from a traffic light "without slipping them" is not actually correct at a micro level. With respect to this thread, it is the micro level that is relevant to tire wear and resulting particulate emissions from that slippage.
> drug dealers and petty crime thrived because there was poor access for police vehicles and other types of law enforcement

Interesting take, not supported by the Wikipedia article. Don't Canadian police have access to bikes, motorcycles, or (gasp) horses that might access areas where cars can't go?

What the Wikipedia article does say is this: "The apartments lacked appeal though, poorly constructed, and with a lack of amenities to support the density spike; many prospective tenants instead moved to suburban houses in the developing areas of Scarborough, Etobicoke and North York. The area quickly became much poorer. Four buildings were later built by the province to provide public housing."

Shoddy housing attracts those who can't afford better, and poverty breeds petty crime, that much is true. Blaming it on missing car access is original. Personally I would be more worried about access difficulties for firefighters.
Both my neighbours either side of my house had their cars stolen by this on the same night. One was a Jaguar, think the other was an Audi.

They didn't touch my car even though it was newer, probably because it was a Kia. I am happy with my choice.
If they are registering the name for the purpose of competition (or coercive cooperation) isn't it a slam-dunk infringement lawsuit?
100% Absolutely this. When I hear companies talking about their "devops" team I cringe. The entire concept of DevOps is lost when we throw up even more silos. And then I go bang my head on the wall.
The point made is that "Responsible" implies an ethical obligation to tell a vendor before telling the public.

It's not clear at all that this is reasonable, and IMO, this seems to highlight the lack of incentive (or even perverse incentive) for vendors to secure their systems.
A lot of new car "innovations" remind me of my issues with the newer iPhones and Macbook Pros (no headphone jack, thinness above all else, etc):

I like having a physical key to start the engine. There was never any confusion in our household about "who has the keys" like there is now.

I despise the start-stop nonsense. Let me use the pedals to start and stop.

I don't need my car to broadcast a wifi signal.

Etc etc etc

Sometimes manufacturers should just "version-lock" their devices and keep going with it -- a lot of customers would be happier.
> A seat-belt is a really bad comparison because there's almost zero cost to enabling it.

Watch some documentaries about the time wearing seatbelts became mandatory and listen to people bitch how inconvenient, uncomfortable and dangerous (what if the car catches fire and the seatbelt gets stuck???) they are...

Beating Intel using their own codec! That's gotta hurt.
> It's tested all the time.

That's not testing. That's just a real life interaction. You can't isolate the variables in supply & demand, so we can only theorize that supply & demand is universally true. If I mix copper and tin in a bowl, I will infinitely get bronze as a result. This can be tested again and again with no variation. I simply cannot reproduce people's behavior in a vacuum. We can only observe it in the real world and draw the conclusion. This goes for my comments about anchoring, etc. as well.

Leaving the car unlocked wouldn't explain how they were able to start the car and drive off with it.

As someone who has built multiple things using React Native I can absolutely relate to the churn, but each time I willfully wade into it and each time I get better at handling all the pains that come along. I also can't think of a better way to improve debugging skills than to use a tech stack that gives rise to issues not easily solved via StackOverflow.

This is hardly a full lifecycle assessment.

The assertion is true only for cyclists eating a mad diet and only if:

1. Motorists really do eat less food than cyclists, controlling for other factors.

2. You only count transit-energy emissions (not construction or recycling or road maintenance or healthcare etc).

To my knowledge, there is no evidence that active travel modes are associated with greater calorie consumption. There is plenty of evidence that all kinds of important externalities are worse for any kind of car-travel versus cycling.

You can perhaps make an argument based on average lifespan that motoring is better for the environment because it costs more life years per km, but advocating for shorter lives in the name of carbon emissions is not going to be popular (and if so, there are less polluting ways to do it).

Its still amazing to me how bad modern construction is. Paris was build with no electricity, no cars/trucks, no computers, no massive cranes and they can build a city that is more beautiful than any modern city. Even in the US pre-war apartment buildings are more solid, higher ceilings and more ornate than anything built in the last 50 years.
The first thing that came to mind when I read the opening paragraphs regarding churn is developing mobile applications. I find myself losing a day or two just to get my apps to compile if I ever go a month or two without spending any time on them. It's brutal how quickly things can break and dependencies need to be updated.

Is it possible to do modern mobile dev without churn (coming from a situation where my clients often go months without requesting features)?
That seems like a pretty big mistake that might cost them.
I'm sorry -- you lost me at UNIX, LISP, The Web, Emacs, TeX. There is a reason UNIX and Linux is so fragmented - it was the thing that was churning for so long! In some respects, it continues to churn (I'm looking at you, Linus Torvalds).

It is one thing to steal a car. Another to break in and threaten someone. Escalating that much is a lot more dangerous. Firstly, now you might know what they look like, or at least partially. But you can also bet that the police will put more time into finding thieves that threaten people in their homes over simple car thieves. Which is definitely not what they want.

If you find a burglar in your home, the burglar is generally more likely to flee as quickly as possible, than pull a gun on you. Escalating to (the threat of) violence will likely make it harder for them, not easier.
