As long as you've got a reasonable downpayment (or paid for some sort of default insurance), or you at least paid on the mortgage for a few years, the bank has little chance of losing their money. It's YOUR money at risk, not theirs.

If you default and your property value has dropped 20% due to rising seas - but you had a 20% downpayment - the bank will end up whole, only you will be wiped out.

In a well-constructed mortgage, the bank has essentially zero risk of loss.
Ad money of course.
Reminding folks that climate change will result in more frequent and extreme weather events after/during extreme weather events is not lying. If folks mis-interpret that to mean that the weather event in question was due to climate change, then that is their own fault.
> Either way, it wont suddenly turn "on" overnight. These things ramp up and down instantly on cosmological scales, which means many thousands/millions of years in our world.

Some supermassive black holes have been caught briefly turning on, over timescales on the order of weeks-months. Tidal disruption events, where a star wanders too close to a SMBH, can result in luminous accretion with significant accretion rates (e.g., Figure 3 of [0]). As the material of the star falls into the SMBH or is blown away, the luminosity drops off, with a predicted decay of t^(-5/3).

With how awful credit scoring is in the US, this is probably the only option going forward to actually fix it. Right now there's nothing stopping credit scores from being heavily politicized anyways, it's just a few bribes and favors away. Allowing private companies to control this information hasn't fixed anything at all and just left our information even more vulnerable to leaks or being sold.

The rest of his plan involves shrinking the usage of credit scores so that it doesn't affect employment, housing or insurance so I imagine this would lead (ideally) to the general phasing out of the ubiquitous credit scoring nonsense we have to deal with.
What is Unity’s STW time? Is it optimized for latency? If not, you’re using the wrong collector. The pain point it solves is time spent debugging memory issues and generally a slower pace of development, but of course if you’re using a collector optimized for throughout, you’ll have a bad time. Further, a low-latency GC will pay off more for people who haven’t been using C or C++ for 10 years than those who have.

Of course, this "TEM" thing is partly a face-saving move for our white, right neighbors by progressives who don't want to point to the racism/classism and a willingness to accept Pyhric victories that really drives a lot of anti-union sentiment.

Who will provide a guarantee that the caches are truly transparent and will not trigger any new bugs?

If it was 1 million GBP then maaaaaybe you'd be able to spend it somewhere (e.g. a casino might take it from a VIP high roller I guess?) but at 100 million I don't think you'd be able to do anything in practice besides take it back to the government directly.
Seems to be a common distinction, although GP is right with the addition that the production side of things is more demanding (and at least would suffer financial damage if problems occur to often) than the playback side formed by random consumer gear, and has some, especially low-level/synchronization-related, gear to hard standards. But often soft is enough, as long as it's reliable enough on average.
It definitely makes sense to report on the yield curve inversion; that certainly could be a possible indicator of a future recession. imo, It has really been taken to another level though with doomsday articles all over the place.
Populations keep growing and they are attracted by the jobs centralized in specific locations. Unfortunately, physical space both horizontal and vertical are limited.

It's fair. I don't know what anybody is going to do. But lending hasn't dried up and interest rates will be lower than ever letting businesses roll over any maturing debt for some time.

If people collectively decide to stop buying that stuff then yeah you'll get your crash, distressed companies, and massive layoffs. but with the European Central Bank starting up QEternity and the Federal Reserve about to start to QE4eva, they're going to be pumping all debt and holding it to maturity...

Or perhaps mainly consider your nationality.

There's a relatively small minority of the world population who live in one of the two countries with arms sufficient to "destroy the world" (although some of the runners up could certainly make life worldwide more miserable).

In practice people living in those countries have pretty much all the say in whether the world will get destroyed or not by choosing to vote for some nutcase in the next election. By comparison someone in <name pretty much any other country> has next to zero chance of moving the needle on potential world destruction.
I didn't say the criticisms weren't valid. Why isn't Airbus undergoing the same scrutiny? Causing a crash and losing everyone on board is just as serious a problem.
You can’t extrapolate like that. 15% is just a rule of thumb. I had to lookup the numbers to provide the reply, I didn’t know them off hand.

I wouldn't worry too much. Good working conditions are a boon to both the employer and the employee. A good union will negotiate that to the benefit of both. The reason is simple. If union negotiations lead to worse profits, then employees risk the whole business toppling, and then everyone loses. However, too much job security can actually make it harder to get a new job, once you need it, as it makes it harder to fire underperforming employees. The net effect of it, are employers who are extremely picky and careful about hiring anyone new, which is pretty muh bad for the whole economy.
I would also argue that processes and tools should supplement developer mistakes, negligence, or maliciousness. Unit tests, static analysis, fuzzing, integration tests, security audits, code reviews, principle of least privilege, etc. all have a part to play and yet this lapse in validation still managed to make it into production and infect all of the downstream libraries and applications.

I would argue that even if you could pin an accusation of negligence on the developer (I've not seen any evidence that could substantiate this accusation), it doesn't rest only with that one developer. The project itself lacked redundant checks. The downstream applications that import OpenSSL similarly failed to audit it.

I think in the whole scheme of things, the Open Source movement had a lot of momentum by the time that code was written, but the corporations that relied on the benefits of open source largely didn't contribute to paying to maintain highly secure coding practices. HeartBleed was one of the incidents that made the internet infrastructure/platform companies (among others) start paying for humans, tools, and reviews to help make these common libraries more secure. Google's Project Zero was started in July 2014, soon after HeartBleed was announced.

Python is a bad example to talk about gc, because it uses different garbage collector than most of languages. It is also the primary reason why getting rid of GIL and retaing performance is so hard. Python uses reference counters and as soon as the reference count drops to 0 it immediately frees the object, so in a way it is more predictable. It has also a traditional GC and I guess that's what was mentioned you can disable it. The reason for it is that reference count won't free memory of there is a loop (e.g. object A references B and B references A, in that case both have reference count 1 even though nothing is using them), do that's where the traditional GC steps in.
British the least??

Why then the long-infamous historical name for England as "Perfidious Albion"?

Were you aware that submarines used to stop shipping and search them, allowing ships not carrying contraband to proceed? That was before Britain's Churchill introduced the Q-ships.

The Q-ships were those that looked like unarmed cargo ships but had hidden guns to suddenly attack submarines that surfaced to do their searches. Since then submarines have always torpedoed ships without warning.
Google really has been pushing the limits of their customers tolerance for their advertising recently. Has there been some management change or is this just another stock boosting attempt to mask the plateauing which happens to every business?

I guess they've given up the constraint and minimalism that helped them get to #1 in the first place. Once again the obsession with never ending growth is compromising the utility of the top players and pressures the regulators to do something.

Google should be happy there are ad blockers, otherwise there'd be a lot more outcry and pushback from the influential tech community.

You sort of had me in the first part, but you lost me here.

It’s just a variation of arena allocation. You allocate everything for the current frame in an arena. When the frame is complete. You free the entire arena, without needing any heap walking.

A generational GC achieves a similar end result, but has to heuristically discover the generations, whereas an arena allocator achieves the same result deterministically And without extra heap walking.

Go was pushed as a C replacement, but very few C programmers switched to it, it seems like it took hearts of some of Python, Ruby, Java etc programmers.
Here are a few examples:
https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-voter-suppre...

It is more than just requiring proper ID when voting. Turns out that you have to be on a list of pre-approved voters. There can be many reasons why you didn't end up on that list and many ways to bump you off.

Its not like you show up on voting day, scan your ID, and the system magically determines your eligibility to vote based on your current address, criminal record, age etc.. retrieved from a federal database that no one can question. No, the lists are prepared and very easy to game.
I just happened to stumble upon this an hour ago and was able to catch the ISS passing over Boston shortly later! The street view integration is magic and made the ISS a piece of cake to find.

This is such a clever app, and the street view integration is very slick! I did notice that the button to notify me when other objects will be passing overhead didn't do anything (iOS safari)... would love to sign up for notifications when there are more sightings to be had.
It's interesting seeing the American perspective on this. The perpetual mistrust of government would, I think, be warranted were that government not elected by the populace.

You'd have to very solidly prove that in the wors-case a cache only ever make execution time equal to or faster than a processor not using cache and never causes anything to be slower.
For whoever built this app: I was checking HN in bed. I clicked your app and noticed the ISS would be passing overhead in less than a minute. My reaction was to immediately jump up, yell at my kids to run with me outside. We didn't know where to look, but then I figured out how to load the streetview and saw that it would be closer to the horizon and BOOM. We finally saw it zooming across the night sky, everybody started to cheer and yell. It was the most amazing thing we've done all week :).
Can we get a succinct thesis statement of this article? Was put off by the writing style of the portion I read.
I've used ClojureScript with re-frame professionally for over 2 years, and it's been the first time in over 20 years of development that I've enjoyed working on the front-end. Unidirectional data flow with a single app atom has been a dream to work with.
You don't "invest" in a 3x leveraged ETF -- they are day-trading instruments.
Heavens Above will give you a list of all satellites passing overhead. If you go to "Daily predictions of brighter satellites" it will give a big list of satellites that should be visible from your location. The lower the magnitude, the brighter it will be.

In a city you obviously aren't going to see much because of light pollution (although the ISS is one of the brightest objects, so it should be visible in most cities). If you go to the middle of nowhere, and give your eyes time to adjust to the darkness (around 30 mins), you will see satellites basically all the time and may even see the milky way (it looks like the pictures, but black and white as our eyes can't pick up enough light to detect the colour).

You are inter-mixing capitalism with the individual actors and humans that participate in it. Even Socialism relies on "idealistic human behaviour" in its more optimal states.

Capitalism with an egalitarian mindset can work wonders. But it requires humans to be egalitarian - which lets be honest - those with drive and real desire to win are rarely egalitarian.
Labor law in the United States is so obviously broken, I'm sort of amazed that it isn't talked about more.

Even beyond unionization, the fact that I had to waive my right to sue my employer for gender or racial discrimination in the courts (in favor of a private arbitrator they hire) as a condition of getting the job is just bullshit.
You can choose when and how and if to free resources rather than having it be rather opaque with the GC, that is the key.

The obvious connection to the climate crisis is that global warming is causing ice to melt and thus sea levels to rise. Rising seas are catastrophic for buildings and infrastructure in low-lying coastal areas, which because of its geography Florida has more of than anywhere else in the US.

The world is on the way to becoming uninhabitable for modern human civilization, and we're the cause. It happens that the majority of humanity lives in coastal areas that will be put underwater by the amount of sea level rise that's going to happen by the end of this century at current rates of warming. The current retreats from the most vulnerable areas in Florida are just a tiny, tiny taste to come of the massive climate refugeeism that is on the horizon.

It's not hysteria, this is what is going to happen unless we make massive changes.
The first group sees themselves as ascendant with the most powerful man in the world as their ally. It is foolish to dismiss the real problems of organized and politically powerful racism.
