How possibly could that concept be paternalistic? Is it just men that have a desire to travel and find their place in the greater environment/world? Why not women also?

Nobody says that you cannot have stability. But clearly you are in a stage of life that I have passed through. (Although, I did take my kids to a very new environment when they were 10-ish, and they got to experience snow skiing as a regular Friday activity, and hiking and mountain biking in good weather in the non-winter months.)

If your energy is focused on your family, and you are happy, and your job doesn't make you feel like your talents are wasted, then great! That's enviable. But it doesn't have anything to do with people who have experienced travel wanting to do more of it. It's a bit saying there's no value in trying foods other than what you grew up eating.
As an important addition to this - use a completely different line for calling the real company. If the suspicious call came from a cell, use another cell phone. If call came from landline, use a cell.
Errors identified in two dozen Apache Struts advisories
I really am surprised to hear this. I'm about 250 all in and I haven't heard of many software devs pulling over 200 all-in. This is for Boston and I'm 6 years out of my undergrad with no graduate degree (although I didn't go to college until my late twenties and I have noticed my maturity helps a little). Maybe on average it's the same but data scientist at the right company has a higher upper limit?
It's unclear, but as we've seen in normal IPOs of this calibre (e.g. Slack, Pintrest, Fastly), probably next month.

Interesting. For some reason rejection always finds its way to me in many aspects of life. When I was looking around for coding bootcamps 6 years ago I got rejected 8/9 times lol. I got into one, and upon finishing that bootcamp I went to get a CS degree. I have a CS degree now and I think I perform quite well, even in my DSA knowledge (I solved about 200 Leetcode questions by now, easy, medium and hard in total). I still find it hard to get even a phone interview at FAANG. My resume just got rejected, or ghosted by the recruiters.
The global conveyer belt is really important to global climate. There has been speculation that warming and CO2 absorption by oceans could cause it to slow or stop, triggering an ice age or other extreme catastrophic extinction-level events.

Fun to think about: maybe it's happened before after a similar industrial era, buried far below. (Unlikely but conceivable.)
The funny thing is that the example in README shows that this library works incorrectly:

EUR: 1.00
GBP: 0.92

const result = cashify.convert(10, {from: 'EUR', to: 'GBP'});
console.log(result); //=> 9.200000000000001

The correct result is 9.2. Due to IEEE floating point precision quirk, the library gives 9.200000000000001.
They've also had at least 5 general counsels... and were taken to court by another marketplace for scraping their database of programmers (ultimately settling out of court).

Or if you insist on keeping 9-5, then why not do it 4 days per week? After all, why do we only work 5 days/week? Could it be that maximizing the output of corporations is not the sole priority of a country?
That's only an output image though. The ability to interact with the console is always something I've missed from on-premises hypervisors.
Same theoretical capability; inferior performance and safety in general. Its versatility in the stack is, in my mind, its defining characteristic - unlike C++, it's a great scripting language that's easy to get started with- maybe the best. Like C++, it's a capable low-level, close-to-the-metal language. But I doubt it's the best choice for those cases. (We know what Linus said about C++ devs working on the kernel ... what would he say about python devs??)

Side bar, I wasn't aware it was a popular educational tool. I was taught type strong languages, and coming into Python felt like writing pseudocode. Too easy, as the Aussies would say!
I wouldn't be surprised if there were meetings where they distinctly decided that the user should not even be able to discover that liability, and chose their wording accordingly.

Looks like a typical seasonality curve. Things tend to repeat at the same period of the year (say, happy in summer, sad in winter). You can see similar patterns at different time scales (weekend vs week, day vs night etc)
Terrapass seems to say my CO2 emissions from flying so far this year are going to come in around 13 metric tons.

At $1000 per ton this isn't feasible. At $100 I'd think about it. At $10 it's not a question that I'd buy it.

At $1000 per ton I'd change my air spending habits. At $100 per ton built into the price per flight I would probably take the same trips.

tl;dr: get this price down an order of magnitude and I'm in.
The question that springs to my mind from this is 'could rings be interlinked?'

I'm not very familiar with chemistry. Are there other instances where other molecules can interlink in a way that, while not having bonds between them cannot be separated without breaking the bonds of one or the other?

At the very least it's fun to imagine a form of ringmail made of these.

> Not sure how that is fair.

Because the more money you make, the greater your ability to earn and retain that money (or the equivalent value) is dependent on the governnent and it's provision of law; in societies without substantial government, there either isn't much concentration of wealth or the people who start to gain some wealth end up spending a considerable share of it becoming a government just to protect their ability to concentrate wealth.

> A flat tax is fair and doesn’t punish success

Any tax with a marginal rate below 100% doesn't punish success.
You got downvotes, I hope because your tone isn't super productive, not because HN doesn't like the realist viewpoint you're taking.
Interesting topic, and perhaps the article/video that this article references is good, but the article in yaleclimateconnections.org is virtually devoid of any actual quantitative data. "May be"...how likely? "...slowing"...by how much? 1% chance of a 1% slowdown? 99% chance of a 99% slowdown? This article is virtually contentless.
I don't feel any less right about that statement. When you dumb things down to a single sentence - current AI really only is what I cyted..
It's fun to imagine. I'll admit I did as well, but you wouldn't want to wear it. Broken rings no doubt turn into nanotubes, and free carbon nanotubes have roughly the same properties as asbestos.
While it is absolutely valid to discuss Amazon's market power and the nature of monopoly in the modern era, the ideas that a featured product would be featured because it makes the company more money is in no way scandalous!

If any retail store has an end-cap product placement of an item that they are featuring, everyone presumes it is because it is a profit maximizer for them. Why is it presumed that Amazon must be a more impartial arbiter of quality versus traditional brick and mortar retail? In part it is because Amazon is a marketplace, but both are middlemen (except for private label products from your grocery store or Walmart/target).
I only skimmed it, so forgive me if I got this wrong. The causal model used here makes some incredibly strong (unlikely to be close enough to accurate) assumptions. Are these results valid if there are unobserved confounders or selection bias?
Oh my. A President that is enforcing laws that have been on the books for years.

Likelihood of becoming a public charge has been grounds for inadmissibility long befor Trump came along.

And, Clinton signed the law requiring sponsors to pay back any benefits their sponsored immigrant(s) may have used. (All legal immigrants require a sponsor who swears to cover any and all expenses associated with the immigrant in the case where the immigrant cannot pay themselves) The sponsor is on the hook until the immigrant naturalizes or has done 40 months of legal work in the US. Note, there are plenty of exceptions for refugees and such.

For every court room charmer or a loophole engineer a large firm will 100’s of associates digging through documents and filing motions in the background.

In fact if a top tier law firm does their job well they would likely never get to a court room.

The main “need” of large law firms is an army of motion bees and discovery drones.

If anything it shows that large firms have too much of an influence over school admissions rather than that legal hiring is broken.
You caught me. But it is bewildering that somebody in his questionable legal circumstances would willingly visit the USA. Most of the other people who run sites like 8chan relocate to obscure regions with no extradition.
FWIW, GCE have console. Another thing I miss in AWS is the ability to change instance user-data while running (GCE also allows this, including the ability to long-poll for changes)
not sure what your point is. pretty sure they use the average ms too in their estimate. this claim is the main driver of their business. they are basically saying their service is 3-4 times faster than blinking, which it is not. blinking is so fast you don't notice it, but that wasn't fast enough! so they amplified based on a dodgy source. false advertising gone nuts.

Don’t you then need to worry about enforcement mechanisms to keep those trees from getting cut down? If they’re all harvested after say n decades, there’s no net effect on climate.
Unrelated, but lately I'm frustrated that so many household items I want to buy are mostly available only in some kind of bulk pack. No, I don't want 6 bottles of dish soap if I don't yet know I like it. And it seems sometimes the bulk pack is even cheaper than a single item, like how a round-trip can be cheaper than a one-way. Also weird are the paid shipping options for me, even with Prime - most often if I chose to pay more for shipping it would schedule the package to arrive later than sooner, vs the free shipping being the fastest option. I don't know why I'm even presented with that choice.

(maybe I'm wrong and it does.)
Yup, ultimately the balance between simplicity and technical operations available will depend on one’s own specific use case.

That said, for technical applications, I think it makes sense to expose as much of your features as possible in terms of composable, atomic units and operations.

If Cmd-Z maps to a black box “undo” command, then anything on top of that will seem like it comes at an interface complexity cost.

If, however, Cmd-Z is a configurable shortcut like any other that, by default, happens to send a “undo 1 user operation” message to a “history” module, that’s a different story. Now your users can modify it to be “undo one high level operation” instead, or “undo all consecutive operations that are the same in kind”. Or perhaps they want Cmd-Z to undo the last discrete operation, and Cmd-Alt-Z to undo the last logical operation. Or maybe there’s a strong temporal dimension to their work and they want the undo logic to take that into account.

Likely not the kind of thing you’d want for a mobile photo sharing app meant for a wide audience; but maybe the kind of thing you’d want for a complex, specialized data processing tool on the desktop.

You would hope, right? It's actually a lot of shades of gray.

The most astounding part about it was once the scammers had this verbal consent, they check could print a check themselves against my grandmother's account and cash it.

We started with my grandmother's bank, WAMU, thinking surely they would cancel or reverse the withdrawal. Nope, they had their fraud department "investigate" and concluded that the withdrawal was legitimate. Blew my fucking mind.

I started documenting my efforts to do something about this on a blog and eventually ended up getting contacted by email by a NY Times reporter who was investigating the subject. Well, if you're not ticked off enough by this story, read on:

My grandmother was lucky in that she was only taken for a couple thousand dollars. But even that could have been extremely tough on her if she hadn't had family around to pitch in to make up the loss.

If you're Greenland, and you want to become independent in something like an Iceland or Singapore sense, you wouldn't want to become part of the US state system. You would want to forge a relationship with the US (and plausibly Canada simultaneously) that gives you maximum advantages with minimum downside (the downside of being part of the US state system is several fold right now, including the broken US healthcare system). Greenland would draw up its own terms, use the USD reserve currency, join USMCA (new NAFTA), and proceed to ride the dollar and US economic proximity to being the Singapore (or previously Hong Kong) of the greater US economic region. It could be a fascinating go-between entity with North America and Europe.

The big polluters, like airlines, energy, transportation, and chemical companies are the ones that will have to take these steps to see any effect. Every bit helps, of course, but the cost of implementing something like this is doable for some, while for many would mean extinction, or fundamental changes to their business model.

We can draw carbon from the atmosphere, sure. It's an inefficient process costing a lot of energy, but given they're making the final rings molecule by molecule, it isn't as if we'd need a lot.

...for the purposes of scrubbing CO2 from the air? There's absolutely no reason we'd use this as the final product. Graphite or diamond would do the trick just as well, and either is cheap to make.
By you do you mean 'I', or you as in 327 million individuals that make up the population of the United States? Do you think it's easy to convince a nations population to push for change, if it was then issues like climate change could be tackled overnight.

Democracy is a messy and flawed process, but it is the best we have. The fact still remains that no matter how much you bemoan the current state of affairs that there is a framework for changing things.
Sheesh, the fourth estate (whom Congress ultimately answers to) is really beating the drum around the democratization of media-incited violence. Disruption is a bitter pill to swallow!

The truth of the matter is that these recent senseless acts of violence are better seen as a scaling down of the status quo. Historically, mass media would rile up the entire country against a different whole country, creating an all-out war. This new trend is of isolated groups egging on lone members to directly commit an act of "war" at an intrinsically small scale.

The Iraq War was an act of media-incited senseless violence, with around 60,000 direct deaths. None of its cheerleaders were criminally prosecuted for speaking the untruths used to fuel it. Why are we panicking and abandoning our longstanding value of Free Speech over a comparatively tiny number of casualties from what are better described as ordinary crimes? Every single human death is its own tragedy, but wisdom cannot prevail when ignoring a sense of scale.

My issue with the original comment was the assumption that the ONLY reason you wouldn't want to wander is because you haven't done it enough. Some people have wandered, and just aren't drawn to it.

This goes for any statement like that; "If you don't like x it is just because you haven't had a good one" or "You only like y because you haven't tried x yet"

People have different preferences, and it is not always simply because of lack of experience or knowledge... people like different things.

Values are dependent upon hierarchy because values have to and enforced. The attempted removal of hierarchy minimizes and/or obscures the company's values and prevents them from being lauded.

Looks like a useful addition. What would be even better is if they provided a GDB stub to allow for full remote kernel debugging. Most hypervisors have support for a GDB stub, but for some reason it's not the norm for cloud providers to expose it to customers. It would be especially useful for unikernels. Most kernels of any type don't offer self-debugging over the network, because it's hard and unreliable (you have to ensure that any functions you might want to set a breakpoint on aren't needed by the debugger itself, which means you basically need a whole separate network stack). But they can at least allow debugging userland processes; that doesn't work with unikernels, which bake the entire system into the kernel.
