If you divide people into generations, most of them are not in the center and maximally separated from the adjoining generations. The thing about talking of generations is that it implies being near the boundaries is much less common than being far from the boundaries, which isn't true.

Being out of step with your peers is a separate issue.
About 6 million Floridians will need to move inland by century’s end to avoid inundation, according to Hauer, the demographer, in a 2016 paper. By then, about 80% of the nearby Keys, the archipelago that includes the tourist mecca of Key West, will be underwater. About 3.5 million people would be flooded in South Florida’s Miami-Dade and Broward, the two counties with America’s biggest exposed populations.

The article then shows a chart predicting population displacement caused by a 1.8-meter sea level rise.

Is that the accepted consensus, that the sea level is rising ~6 feet?
Air France 447, Qantas 32, and Qantas 72 all highlighted significant flaws in Airbus' Guidance/Nav/Controls subsystems and their automation approach. That doesn't make the article's criticisms of Boeing the slightest bit less valid.
I feel like Tensorflow tends to allocate scratch space in GPU RAM for the result of every math operation.

So if you have a big tensor and want to do math on it, you need space to effectively store multiple copies of the tensor.

I think TF does this for speed reasons.
wow. You must be a prolific game programmer like Casey Muratori, right?

You understand that he is an extremely successful programmer in his field and has the respect of thousands of programmers world wide?

>Writing super secure code is usually not a requirement for gamedev

Many consoles have been "jailbroken" by making buggy games load specially crafted savegames that ended up in code execution.

That also extends to players downloading innocent-looking maps, savegames, models. etc that exploit bugs and end up in code execution too.

Also if you have an online game then you can have RCE bugs, especially if players are expected to be able to connect to 3rd party servers.

California is bleeding, on average over the past 10 years, 60,000 people per year to Texas and that number is growing. California's total population continues to climb though (Texas is growing faster still though by about 2.5x). At the same time it appears Texas GDP per capita is growing twice as fast as California and will surpass California before the next census.

None of the data present, in either the article or the comments, align with Texas or California. Together those two are about 20.6% of the total US population. While there probably is a growing divergence exactly as the article claims it appears the described cause of that divergence is completely out of alignment with what the article claims.

"just" might not be the right word here. Electric cars existed in the 1890s but their range was too short. Which is exactly the same problem they have today. The problem of non-existent cheap energy storage has been around for more than a century.
This was my response to a similar comment on reddit:
Personally, I think a professional is someone with training and experience who is paid by someone to build something for them. We have no training (except youtube videos), very little previous experience (built out a campervan before) who built a yurt with our friends and family for us to live in.

But I’ll add, I’m a professional filmmaker and producer which is maybe why some people are thrown off because the images are a step up from the normal iphone/dslr photos and videos people typically post. Ideally, the quality of the documentation is appreciated, especially for something that is free and hopefully useful for people trying to do something similar.

Instead of attacking the content of the leaks or his claimed motives you are mainly attacking his character.

It should be obvious that he planned to take the data. Taking it without a plan would be a good way for him to fail to accomplish anything. The main detraction I can see is that he leaked without regard to content, even considering he may not have had time to look over what he had taken (e.g. there is some top level stuff about drones that probably could have been redacted with a quick scan of the documents).

He likely avoided commenting on improvements to remain apolitical; if he had not, it would be more ammunition for character assassination. Other countries may be doing roughly the same but most people's issue is not with the fact spying was occurring but that it was largely turned inward.[1] You do not know he would throw away the whole system. As previously mentioned, he likely had no time to figure out what documents were what and the impact of their release would be.

In any case, he was acting as if he expected his own government to completely ignore the protections it had built in to defend its citizens. That some of the domestic programs he exposed were since cancelled due to public outrage is telling.

---

[1]: Besides the unconstitutionality of inwards-facing spying it is also a red herring. We repeatedly see little in the way of domestic terrorism but because inward spying is so much easier to do it seems to make up a disproportionate amount of the information generated; information that is likely not representative of real threats.

As an immigrant in the US, I'm not surprised. The word immigration/immigrant has been subverted by the popular media in the US to refer mostly to "illegal immigrants escaping violent regimes" or some such fantasy. You'll rarely see a discussion of H1B visas or the length of the legal immigration queues discussed in the popular media.

The popular media in the US also violently opposes opportunity or skills-based immigration even though that's what the majority of the world does. The liberal fantasy of immigration is a variation of the white man's burden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Man%27s_Burden) where it is the US's role to save the oppressed and the downtrodden by welcoming them to the US. Allowing immigration to be determined by talent or education is "racist".

"workers are better off" is a statistical nonsense regardless of what's written in that pdf. This type of arguments can convince only non technical or not very smart people. A proper analysis would split workers into subgroups and give specific numbers for each subgroup. A proper analysis would use words like percentiles, median and distribution. When I see that "something is better on average" I always think that I'm being lied to.

> It's more a case of people having built homes in a very flat, easily flooded place that has always been really, really shitty for living due to the dangers of extremely bad hurricane damage (something that has been the case since Europeans settled the region).

I don't know how to say this politically but this is something that took me back when the call-to-arms came about for the Bahamas recently given the latest hurricane.

Isn't it kind of a broken system? Every hurricane season, the Bahamas stands to get absolutely hammered. It's devastating, but... almost on a schedule?

Cheaper to replace a yurt than a roof on a traditional home, which you are supposed to do in a range of time similar to your predicted lifespan of a yurt. And that includes the entire yurt, when in reality you'd probably only have to replace the plastic and frabric which is considerably less expensive than the entire yurt.

I'm not sure if I'm under-thinking this or if you guys are.

My claim is not that WeWork has some economic advantage in how they distribute alcohol to workers, merely that they have a product that is appealing to 20-30 year olds, and companies want to (presumably) piggy back off it to hire top young talent. It’s the entire package, things like interior decoration, tech, locations, name brand, etc.

What’s that worth is debatable but I think it’s worth more than zero.

I live in the Keys (Summerland Key), so I think I have some skin the the game here. These is not and climate change exodus happening there is a real economic issue in the keys with workforce affordability, the average rent in the keys sits very near the average rent for San Francisco. A decent home for rent will run you between $3500 to $4000 a month. Meanwhile the average non-skilled job pays about $10 an hour in the keys. This has been going on long before Irma hit us. Irma exacerbated the problem by destroying most of the ground level homes built before 1979 as well as Mobile homes and RV's. The exact homes that where the most affordable to the workforce. These people are leaving due to economics not because Irma was somehow a freak of climate change.

Article on work force housing issue and how Irma made it worse:
https://therealdeal.com/miami/2019/07/21/many-residents-of-t...

I have lived in Florida for 44 years and have seen storms far nastier than Irma long before climate change was a thing. It's the nature of the beast here, and homes can and are being built to withstand these storms. They do a lot of damage, but they are not these cyclones of death that the media makes them out to be. At CAT 4 or 5 storm is a serious storm don't get me wrong. I took a lot of damage from Irma due to a roof hatch failing, but it was all water damage, structurally my house is fine. But it also sits 9 foot above sea level as far as ground and then 14 foot pier foundation above that. Storm surge here can be up to 15 ft. If you are not above that your house is going to flood in a serious storm. If you are above that, and your house is built to code, it is going to survive the storm. If you are ground level, anywhere on the islands other than by the cemetery in Key west, which IIRC is 15 to 20 ft above sea level, you are going to flood.

Take a look at the 1935 Labor day storm that hit us, look at the devastation, compare it to Irma and you will see that these storms come and go, The 1935 storm was the worst storm to have ever have made landfall.

One strategy might be to correlate CPU affinity with spatial proximity. That is: two entities that are close together are more likely to mutate one another than two entities far apart, so the two close together should be on the same CPU/core/thread and the other should be on a different thread (probably with other entities closer to it).

I work with these large aerospace primes and see no consistent display of vision, long-term thinking, or integrity among them. I'm not saying these qualities don't exist within their ranks, just that they never become overriding management values. Take a look at the qualifications of Lockheed Martin's CEO or the President of Boeing Defense & Space. Yet, as the article notes, despite being helmed by non-engineers in undoubtedly one of the most technically-demanding sectors in society, these companies are richly rewarded in the public marketplace. Wall Street clearly does not give a shit that these "leaders" don't even truly understand their products.

Pretending that all these companies need to do is Adam Smith harder is crazy. As long as they have $300-$400+ share prices, there is no market incentive for them to not suck.

An interest rate is not only a proxy for credit risk but also is driven by demand and supply.

If like here many banks request overnight money then the interest rate goes up (interest rates are just prices for money in the future quoted differently -- high price to the lender = low interest rate). The same market forces apply to the good "money redeemable in n days".

People worried about rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere should note that gas is not just out competing nuclear power but also coal which emits twice the amount of CO2 per energy unit produced. All in all it is probably a net positive wrt. decreasing CO2 emissions.
See my post below, Bahamas is no different, most of those houses that where destroyed where built pre-codes. I have a lot of family in the Bahamas, there houses are all on stilts and cat 5 rated. All of their houses survived.

Hurricanes are nothing new, we have endured them all of our lives, they are not getting worse or more frequent.

My family has been in Florida and the Bahamas for 14 generations along the way it just became second nature to instruct the next generation on what to look for in a house that will survive the storm. My original family homestead is still standing and was built in the 1700's, it has seen many storms some worse that Irma and Dorean.

I would certainly like to add some more detail that goes into a lot of what you mentioned. Just havent had the time yet. I agree with most of what you say. But I think there’s a spectrum of acceptable living conditions that maybe extends past what most current building codes allow. Some people are okay roughing it more than others. Of course, if that were to be accepted it could also be taken advantage of by unscrupulous landlords, developers, etc.

There are counties in the US that do permit yurts even for full-time use. These gurts are signed off by a structural engineer and are typically in more temperate climates. Yurts can last quite a long time. Most of the exterior material has a 15 year warranty. Beyond that, it will depend on the climate and how well the structure is maintained. There are yurts that were constructed by the OG yurt companies back in the late 70s that are still in use today. And the materials and engineering has only gotten better over the decades. Yurts are not perfect for every environment, but they are an interesting option in specific use cases.
Yes, just saw this too. This is showing across all service types for me. Anything that is billed based on a unit of time has exactly 2x the consumption than has happened so far month-to-date.
I suspect GP's point is that a networked game should be limited in access to only parts of one's home directory relevant for that game (that is: the game's own save data or configuration files or what have you). It is absolutely the job of the operating system to provide that sort of sandboxing/isolation.

For anyone looking for a meditation app, Sam Harris's "Waking up" app may frame things in a way more palatable to the average HN reader. No woo, attempts to explain what's actually going on, clear demarcation between helpful cues vs facts vs opinions. Other guided meditation instructors blur these things a bit more liberally, and that can be distracting for some people (including me).
Sure. That's great. That also breaks down sometimes, too.

Defense in depth. Write good, sane, secure, fail-closed code when you want to ship that code to other people--or don't write code.
Also worth noting is the House Aviation Subcommittee's take on the problem:

The panel’s majority members were best embodied by subcommittee Chairman Rick Larsen, an ex-lobbyist New Democrat who delivered an opening statement of head-scratching insipidness: “As I have said before, if the public does not feel safe about flying then they won’t fly; if they don’t fly, airlines don’t need to buy airplanes; if they don’t need to buy airplanes, then airplanes don’t need to be built; and if there is no need to build airplanes, then there will be no jobs in aviation.”

Followed by Congressman Paul Mitchell's lambasting of Captain Dan Carey, the outgoing president of the Allied Pilots Association, for having the temerity to go public with his concerns: "What’s the value [of releasing a secret recording] to the system or the families?... Explain to me what warranted that, sir!" Clearly, the problem here is that the travelling public, and victims' families, have come to learn about MCAS and its role in recent crashes.

When you are trying to spin a story, however, it can be difficult to keep it straight. Here's Sam Graves, ranking Republican on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee:

“It’s not the plane I’m concerned about; I think the plane is very safe. We need to concentrate on the pilot ... being trained [for] the aircraft, and being able to fly a plane and not just fly the computer.”

His blame-the-pilots rhetoric does not look so good for Boeing now that we are learning the lengths it went to in order to avoid there being any additional training for pilots.

I think a standard <ad> web component built into browsers is a good idea. This gives the user back control, and allows optimisation directly in the browser with C++ - also allows us to say: load only X ads with Y performance constraints and no more than Z bandwidth before they get dropped.

Yes, it does ultimately make it easier to block ads, but

1) Users who want to do that are always going to, and I'll always stay on the side of freedom for the user. We might as well ditch ad blockers and their performance issues if we can.

2) We have a standard way for publications to respectfully say no to serving content to blocking users rather than the JavaScript, anti-ad-blocker monstrosities we've got today - I respect the freedom of companies too, and they're always going to try and do this - likewise, we might as well ditch the awful performance/battery issues with this.

3) Performance and privacy can be kept in the hands of the user. This also means GDPR consent and a whole host of other stuff can be handled directly by the browser too. Asking the user to allow ads can be built right in and privacy is preserved if they say no which is better than all the consent dialogs we've got today.

Would be interested in everyone's thoughts on this. My approach probably will result in it being more difficult to ask content, but it preserves privacy and performance to the extent the user is willing.

“As you have probably noticed, I didn’t say anything about information. That’s because really the reference to information in “black hole information loss” is entirely unnecessary and just causes confusion. The problem of black hole “information loss” really has nothing to do with just exactly what you mean by information. It’s just a term that loosely speaking says you can’t tell from the final state what was the exact initial state.“
