For the host of reasons listed in other comments (and others too), it will never pass that everyone plants a giant sequoia. This means the “ideal” proposed solution is not possible.

Therefore, why not aim for a more realistic goal:
1. plant trees in vacant spaces (such as highway medians), any kind of tree
2. Plant 1 extra tree instead of more lawn in your yard.

I’d guess these goals are more attainable and though would not offer a full solution, would be better than no option.
Because it's art moreso than science or engineering, thus much less subject to constraints like physical limitations.

One thing watching Thai daily soaps has taught me is that nobody in Thailand uses pronouns like "I" or "me" - everyone just refers to them in the third person by name as if there is a copy of them standing right there. I thought it was totally weird but maybe they are just wiser :)
You would probably need to use sensing to improve stabilization there. The output of the approach here is just a position (I'm assuming) trajectory. They manage to do that because they have a good enough model of the beams and masses. I imagine it's harder to get a comparable model of the disturbances in a drone.
I'm glad that modern eugenicists now feel comfortable enough to once again openly make the argument that their privileged position is due to their genetic superiority to "lower-achieving" forms of human life. It certainly clarifies the stakes.
Interestingly, there's currently a big debate in the UK about including imported goods in its carbon statistics and for its zero-carbon goals.
If it were actually the case that these detection methods were not known when they shipped the in-memory storage solution.. I would find that incredible.
The question is why it's the right choice for the underlying blockchains not to have a central authority. There are costs and benefits to decentralization, and I've very rarely seen a blockchain startup weigh the two rather than just touting the benefits.

(I know this is a high standard for any new technology; I'm not saying I expect it on the front page of their website.)
Somewhat related - when I was working at Union Pacific in 2011, there was a hugely expensive effort to replace the old 1024x768 monitors in the locomotives with 1080p equivalents, including redesigning a lot of the UIs to work in a wide screen form factor.

After the rollout completed, all the feedback was negative, saying that the fonts were too small to read on the new displays, especially when the locomotive began vibrating at speed.

In the end, the whole fleet had a software update pushed out that set the resolution back to 1024x760, and all the UIs looked stretched. The engineers (train, not software) were ecstatic.

Lesson to take away is that with user interaction, it’s important to look at how humans will actually be using the system. That seems self evident, but given stories like these clearly isn’t.
> Don't forget that (at least in the OECD) you can still drive on a reasonable road, send a letter, buy something via the Internet and probably receive it in working order, drink water from the tap, etc.

Note that most of that is local rather than federal/EU government, and even to the extent that it involves interstate commerce (e.g. UPS deliveries), it would still basically work without any central government involvement in the same way that packages are fairly reliably delivered from China to the US or EU even though multiple independent jurisdictions are involved.
I can definitely see that. Whereas doing something in vim requires multiple keybinds which may take a while to trigger, using mouse and some menu shortcut may take exactly the same amount of time. The shortcut version of vi just feels shorter because you’re doing something the whole time.
Tips for Hyper Local SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
That's why the companies had to respond, yes. But by responding with personal data without first verifying the identity of the requestor, they breached the GDPR by exposing that personal data.
Except that displaying unexpected content interrupts the driver’s attention and takes it way from where it needs to be.

It’s certainly not important enough to distract someone performing any delicate maneuver.

Just recently I wrote a brief post about how the title of ‘DevOps Engineer’ (and similar) were irking me, especially when looking for new roles / opportunities. DevOps isn’t a job title - it’s a culture and making click-bate / hipster job titles isn’t helping recruiters or business gain the value or plug the gaps they need:

On the surface this sounds like a good approach. The overhead of encryption should be very consistent and get buried in general file-system latency.
Would the downvoters please explain why you think I'm wrong? Or is this just the typical GDPR hate that seems to infest HN such that I defend the GDPR ergo I'm automatically downvoted?
Ironic that every single ad on that page is also inflammatory bullshit. "this one vegetable literally destroys you from the inside" "this new York woman won millions playing this app"
Glad to hear it! I think they look great. Out of curiosity, will this one incident at all change how you charge, park, or otherwise treat your vehicle? I have a plug-in hybrid and would certainly take precautions if this story had been about the model I have.
Plus a few hours every week to chase down reports of emails not being delivered, spam, etc.

As someone with many servers and a previous career managing an email service for a university, I would never run my email through anything except G Suite or Office 365. The benefits of those services being "too big to block" is immeasurable.
You could say the same thing about SQL databases, but all billion-dollar companies are built on them.

In 50 years there won’t be a single Fortune 500 company that isn’t built on DLT.
Permanent goods cost more, so there will be less money for travel and food. If your point is that in the long run permanent goods cost less and people will have more disposable income, then I can't agree with that. Who's going to pay that income? Companies that no longer have money?

Asking people to do something for the greater good won't lead you anywhere. People are driven by greed that capitalism wisely directs into something productive. This powerful stream of greed won't disappear anywhere, but it's possible to redirect it somewhere else.
I notice the pattern that any opinions stating that this is not a GDPR issue, it is a end-company issue, get downvoted. Oh how much would the US companies like to get rid of GDOR and go back to a system where everything is up for grabs, with zero accountability and rampant abuse. I think GDPR is one of the best things that have happened to Europeans/European consumers since the inception of internet, in the data ownership and privacy space.

What Pavur managed, is a wake up call for companies to further clean up their act, and that is positive step to making GDPR stronger but not to remove it.

One cannot blame the whole system for some/many bad actors. If improvements are needed in the identifying mechanisms, so be it, but as a system, it is built to work FOR the people.

Also (without reducing the effort and results of Pavur) anything you read on UK media condemning anything EU-made, take it with a pinch of salt, a no-deal Brexit may be coming and some media will do their best to demonize all-things-EU. Agendas will be served.
I commend you on your attention to detail under every circumstance, but not everyone masters the windshield defogger (to the point where they don’t have to look at it) the moment they sit down in a rental car.
Compare number of applicants per year from India (250K H1 + some amount L1) to the green card caps (140K). And their population growth is still positive (>1% year).

Even if Congress kicks out all the rest of nationalities and gives 100% cap to Indians, the wait times will drop only once but then keep growing indefinitely. (And this does not yet account to how many more will be inspired by that, as right now long wait times presumably deter a lot from even trying.)

There is no fix for this that does not involve a huge lot of Indians failing at their immigration attempt. The core problem is that they are just trying too hard: India applies 8.5x more people per %population than France, 14x more than Germany etc. No Congress can fix that.

Sure, 7% cap for a country that makes 17% of the world seems a bit unfair. But increasing it to the fair 17% or even to unfair 100% will still be peanuts in the long run. The reality is that a person born in India is being screwed not as much by bias in immigration policies but only by other persons born in India.
> It's relevant to the political problem of defeating their opposition, sure, but not relevant to the merits of the policy.

This seems... unlikely.
I had a top model Mazda 3 2014 before (manual Astina) as the #2 and everything about it was just first class usability wise.

The rotary navigation knob let me do everything on the screen, and all the buttons for everything else were in intuitive places. Also a great radar cruise control, simple yet highly functional HUD, and things like rear cross alert which is amazing when backing out of 45 degree parking spots next to some big trucks.

As much as I'd love a Tesla as my next car I'm not sure if their UI is where I want to go.

The only remaining legal way to separate is via money. In other words: fuck the poor, they are not allowed to decide with whom they associate.

Instead of trying to fix the problem by allowing non-monetary ways to segregate, which would be available to everyone, people are busy trying to universalize the problem.

To answer your question: you're not an asshole, but you're the only one without a broken leg... and we'll break it to make things fair to everyone.
I'm not sure what unbiased randomness is. I haven't heard that phrase before. For Kolmogorov randomness, I was using Wikipedia's description of it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity#Kolmogor...), although there are more technical descriptions available.

The academic math types with no ML experience don't fare much better than the no-math practitioners with experience from what I've seen. They generally have terrible mental models of how the math behaves when applied to real data.

IME the competent data scientist needs to have a high-level understanding of the concepts underlying ML (stats, optimization, central limit theorem) and to be comfortable reading math to understand the low-level details when they are relevant. In addition to actually understanding the ML techniques they're using obviously.

On top of that, I would rather work with someone who can code well than a pure mathematician with a ton of experience proving theorems (and no coding ability). Outside of a few industry research jobs, the cost:benefit ratio of making substantial theoretical breakthroughs in most everyday ML work doesn't justify a lot of time doing theoretical proofs.
You have to ask yourself those questions sometimes.

Staying in a toxic workplace because you have a mortgage, debts or a family to support could seem to an outsider like you've slipped into a Stockholm Syndrome-like mindset where you just don't want to think about it.
It's easy for founders to get stuck in the short-term thinking of "how do I keep my startup alive" and, after months or years of this, end up with a business that isn't going to grow and they don't enjoy or feel passionate about running. I believe this is what Aaron means when he talks about "Zombie startups". It's a pretty common state for startups to get into.

In those situations, it's better to shut it down and move onto something else then stay working on it simply because of momentum. Every year of your life is a huge opportunity cost.
A dilettante complains about something they "learned," as opposed to committing to mastering it with real use and then forming an informed opinion. PEBKAC seems the more likely explanation.
That sounds really neat! Good luck!
Google is an advertising company and everything they do is to improve the core ad-business. If Google had it their way every website would be using AMP, allowing google to have more control over the web, allowing them to become the only ad-network.
I like [e]vi[l] because there is less to learn. In normal mode if you learn N movements and M actions, then you've actually learned N*M things, not N+M. That means a little bit of studying pays off huge.
Looks amazing! How often can we expect new issues and do you expect around the same volume of content each issue ?

Similarly, you have a better sense of the cost of different materials in a car, but pricing React vs Vue vs jQuery is a lot fuzzier. Especially since software may or may not get extended whereas a car doesn't get updated a lot after being purchased.
There's an easy solution to that — massively increase foreign aid! Encourage remittances! Fix historical injustices. Pay reparations.

I bet H-1Bs are the only time many people get so bothered about the global poor. Imperialism and colonialism have caused much more harm to poor people in India or wherever than a bunch of smart people seeking a better life.

It's similar to how unauthorized immigration is the only time many right-wing people start caring about homeless US citizens. US tax and transfer policy has caused much more harm than all unauthorized immigrants combined, of course. Right-wing arguments here can at best be described as motivated reasoning.
Sometimes I think there should be a law that states products should be accurately described in advertisements.

If such a law were enacted, this product might be called Fucked Up Encryption. I say that because the first law of encryption is that you don't roll it yourself. You can build things that use known encryption in non-standard ways, and even that can lead to things that were unexpected - like side channel attacks.
What do scrapers and indexing engines have to do with it? Is it normal for them to run a full headless browser in incognito mode?

I was under the impression that they're either just doing straight HTTP requests for HTML only... or they're running a full headless browser in normal mode.

So I'm not getting what's different here?

Sites have a long history of serving up different content to different users, e.g. to paying users, or blocking certain countries based on content contracts. It's certainly not part of the "web's contract" that scrapers get paywalled content they haven't paid for.
the book, 'the strangest man' (graham-farmelo), is an excellent biographical account of p.a.m.d

Being able to do your job is always the number 1 requirement of doing your job. Being able to communicate and think critically are nice-to-haves. A data scientist who doesn't know data science is useless.
>The only reason the selected families moved to the better neighborhood is because a team of experts were paid to intervene on their behalf.

>Unless such families make the effort to change their circumstance and save enough to move to the preferable area, programs like this one rob them of their free will.

This is a bizarre claim. Participants were given advice, not forcibly relocated:

>They would also be given information on which neighborhoods promise the most opportunity for their kids, based on the research data. They’d also be assigned “navigators” whose job it was to walk them through the apartment application process, and receive additional financial assistance with down payments if necessary.
Can't say that for sure. I am myself a published author with a traditional publisher and I didn't make anything beyond the advance aand the revenue share was only 10% for me.

If $9.99 makes more people buy it and the share is better, I am all up for it.
Just generalised Monday morning cynicism...

It happens with _everything_ else in this stupid industry, what're the chances of it not happening just the same when the tech industry targets the military industrial complex???
That’s not correct. TN visa is a non-immigrant intent visa. The path from TN to green card (which I’ve done) is TN -> H1B (dual intent) -> green card.
Sucks for you if you got ramdisk/optane, or have fsync disabled, I guess.
Perfect the settings? I've never driven a modern car that can't do it perfectly well when you hit the demister button. You're well overthinking things.
Racial segregation in the US is at least partly a direct descendant of New Deal and postwar housing policy that mandated segregated housing projects. Segregation was a deliberate policy and a massive social engineering effort.

There is nothing natural about the current amount of segregation in the US.
They all used authentication systems though don't they? The problem is any bad actor can exploit GDPR to get information on anyone else.

Awesome! I have a write-up I've been meaning to finish/submit somewhere, maybe I'll try to fit it into a page and send it your way.
Of course they're genetically inferior. To argue otherwise would be to deny the theory of evolution.

Income is one of the most important factors determining sexual value. Natural selection is clearly going to select for the traits that increase income.
There is a fair bit of social pressure to drink in a bar though, it isn't exactly a place to just "be" in that regard.
Did you attempt to consume the article in Safari's Reader View, perchance?

I did not have difficulty with the site on an iPhone (though there could be locally attributable reasons for that), but I just checked and things look lovely in Reader View.
It’s much easier to get a TN because there is no quota. Because the H1B is subject to lottery because more people apply than the quota, you have to apply in April to start a job in October. That’s generally not welcome by most employers.
"[The poor] are not allowed to decide with whom they associate."

That's exactly what this study ISN'T saying. The entire point of this research is to determine if the reason very poor people stay in very poor neighborhoods is personal preference or other factors. This study found that many poor people would in fact prefer to move from very poor neighborhoods.
OK, this article was not what I expected. I use incognito mode whenever doing online banking, searching for medical information, etc. I don’t care if a web site knows I am in incognito mode. Indeed, I think it is a web site’s right to know because they may need to enforce free access quotas, etc.
Blockchain allows protocols for finance. Derivative contracts like perpetual futures are inherently better than old-school futures. The innovation is much more rapid. Building a new exchange becomes permissionless. Assets can flow from old exchanges to new, or be moved around to many rapidly. All of this is simply better than the current exchange situation - 24/7 trading, low fees, rapid innovation, easy capital formation. Finance will move to the crypto rails because it’s better.
"How is X a Y?" is a trollish trope to begin with, but "Serious question - do you know what a monopoly is?" crosses into personal swipe and that breaks the site guidelines. Would you please not post in this style to HN? We're trying for a bit better than internet default.

uMatrix is a must have add-on and nothing else comes close to matching its functionality. It pairs well with uBlock Origin (same dev). Add-ons like Decentraleyes is also good as it prevents persistent tracking from shared web libraries, like Google ajax, that everyone seems to use... it's free and widely available for a reason.

Google is also working to update Chrome APIs that will cripple privacy centric add-ons and those that allow ad-blocking, like uMatrix and uBlock origin soon, so enjoy it all while it lasts.

Wow, what a way to waste money and time.

Build a machine that no-one could program and refuse to build machines that you could build because it was not your dream machine.

If instead they had built the machines people wanted and could program they would have made enough profit to also build their dream machine and learn how to program it.
> In both countries disregard for enviroment and citizens health is just sad. Toxic haze, toxic water, pollution, trash.

That was trash that was illegally dumped there by UK, Australia, and other Western countries, right after China stopped accepting Western trash. https://asklegal.my/p/waste-dumping-malaysia-canada-pollutio...

You use a strong sentence "disregard for environment". What facts lead you say that? Wouldn't the behavior of the Western countries shipping trash over to poorer countries indicate a much stronger disregard for the environment? Or are you implying the environment/nature can be split into one that is local to Western countries and another that is present in developing/poorer countries?
They can paywall / block incognito all they want.

Just delist the (paywall'd) articles. That's the annoying thing - when articles come up on Google and you can't read them. Please fix this.

If people want to pay, that's fine. Perhaps ISP's should pay for these websites via their plans so there's no more need to login.

I don't want to login to something just to browse a feed. I believe people would be happy to pay for these websites, but in a convenient way, ahead of time. Allow IP ranges, create a browser plugin that reauthorizes the site session even in incognito / w/o password saving. Innovate like Spotify did.

Annoying and badgering the user is 101 UX antipattern. One reason some don't buy is they don't want to encourage it.

It's fair to hold them to a high standard because many of these websites are articles and presentation is supposed to be a forte. You don't battle the adblockers and incognito modes - you fight to make it easier and more convenient for your readership.
Instant money transfer is not cutting edge. Some countries have had it for decades (albeit at a premium cost).

I jumped on the UNIX track when I found Coherent 3.1 in 1991. It opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking. Within a year or two, I used AT&T Unix SVR(3?4?) and then Novell's Unixware and on to SUN's Solaris. Then finally to Linux in 2001.

I skipped the whole 'Windows as Personal Desktop' thing. I had a look at Windows 3.x in the early 90s and classed it as 'useless' - because I was already using the equivalent of Windows 2000 while everybody else was enthralled with non-networked Windows 3.0

So I have a very soft spot in my heart for Coherent. Without Coherent, I would have missed out on so much.
Safari has already started introducing protections for attacks like font profiling and knowing the Chrome security team I would be surprised if they haven’t at least considered that as well.
