I'm very happy with Tresorit [0]. I used to use Spideroak but switched when their warrant canary got removed.

The big plus for me is end to end encryption. I use it for documents and scans and never felt okay having those in Dropbox.

I also have their cli client running on my Synology NAS so I get a local copy as well as in the cloud.

The only downside, it is a fair bit more pricey when you need a lot of storage.

Probably a combination of all three. Maybe with a video guide and text guide on the same page, with the latter also using images and short video clips to illustrate points too.

Video on its own is too slow, and often annoying to wade through if I need to find a particular point. Text on its own can be too vague, and can make it difficult to understand lengthy series of instructions if pictures and videos aren't included (a common problem with text based video game walkthroughs).
"Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Given Distribution of Relative Humidity" was published in the 1960s.[0] It aligns with current models.[1]

If you don't want to read them, then in summary, describing the 2017 report (itself a followup to a similar 2014 report) Ars mentions:

> If you’re wondering what could have changed since the last report in 2014, the new Assessment highlights a list of areas in which our understanding has improved. That includes the evaluation of the human contribution to individual extreme weather events, higher-resolution climate models producing better simulations of things like hurricanes, and studies of ice loss in Greenland and Antarctica that have bumped the worst-case sea level rise estimates upward.[2]

In other words, the conclusions are the same as they've always been, except we underestimated how bad things are going to be. There is no reputable scientific position to take that says climate change isn't happening or that it isn't human caused. Even Chevron accepts that conclusion at this point.[3]

If you're claming that you know more than both >90% of the scientific community and the actual oil industry, then you are alone in that belief.

Anyone interested in thinking about this should read Children of Time and the sequel Children of Ruin.

The first is about the (accidental) future uplift of spiders via genetic engineering and evolution, the sequel about octopuses. The author does an excellent job of imagining how this might come to pass.
>Why are some American colleges (entrance into which is the aim of taking the SAT in the first place) excellent, and others not? Why the acceptance of such disparities in educational quality?

Some people, such as Bryan Caplan, believe that college is mostly about signaling.[0] The idea is that most of the value college provides for individual students is to indicate to society that the student can jump through all the hoops necessary. It's much less about what the student actually learns in college. Essentially, college is mostly about being a filter - to weed out those that can't make it. This line of thinking would also explain college acceptance tests - they are the same type of filter, but applied before college. It's there to keep the college prestigious, so that more people will try getting into it, which will allow them to only pick the best of the best.

I think there's a lot of merit to the signaling idea, because a lot of what you learn in college doesn't have much practical value for the vast majority of students. College entrance tests are just one part of this whole process.

huh?!?

Unfortunately, you've got it backwards. The propaganda has exacerbated the division, almost in direct alignment with the removal of the fairness doctrine. All of the things you're describing are a consequence of growing up thinking that 'opposing views' are somehow validated and the problem is that people aren't listening.

It's true, they aren't listening to each other; But few people are saying anything worth listening to ( for example, having critical thoughts about ANY subject that isn't a regurgitation of talking points they heard/read/saw from their bubble ).

The propaganda has been successful enough that it's created a cultural viewpoint that starts with the premise that there ARE sides and that the other side won't listen so they're hopeless.
Accelerationism does not necessarily have to be specific to capitalism. There are those on the right who see the rise of identity politics and socialist thought; to them, the idea of accelerationism is to let socialism spread so that it too can be exposed as flawed.

Accelerationism can apply to any ideology taken to an extreme.
I do not believe that we can link to any sources that you have not yet already seen and disregarded. You'll just ignore them or find a different way to read plain English. Your time might be better spent finding a real conspiracy to uncover. If, of course, you really believe what you just said and are not just trolling to begin with in the hopes of wasting everyone's time.

In case I am wrong and you truly believe this stuff, I took the time to at least disprove the source that looked most trustworthy to me in another conspiracy theory comment of yours: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21084305
I probably don’t know what I’m talking about, but I believe there has been a consolidation of backends used by consumer banking systems. So, if you used to have to worry about interfacing with 100 different systems, maybe now you only have to worry about 10. I believe one of the biggest providers in this space is FISERV. I would shack out their site to see what you can learn.
I think you captured definitions really well, but I'm not sure you captured the spirit of a programming idiom.

The spirit is essentially pattern-like, that the specific syntax has a higher meaning in that language such that as soon as you see its shape you know what's up. Moreover, if you don't see that shape it doesn't register as "native" for that language.

In your explanation, the spirit is "entry point is main." It's true the mechanics are unusual to Python, but that's not necessary and not all that counts. If I did the name/main comparison some other way it wouldn't be idiomatic because that very specific construct is the idiom.

Some examples in other languages that aren't that hard to read mechanically:

param = param || default; // idiomatic for ES5 default

let bool = !!(whatever) // idiomatic for boolean coercion in JS

reversed_list = forward_list[::-1] # idiomatic for sequence reversal in Python

x = x >> 1 // idiomatic for x/2 in C

In some of those cases there are practical realities that also drive them (the bitshift divide in particular comes from embedded and other speed concerns) but they aren't constructs that you see elsewhere very much outside that language even if they're valid. That's what makes them idiomatic to that language.
The bad government that most likely has hundreds of millions of dollars invested in a company like tiktok to push their social and ideological ideals on the rest of the world?
"In 2015, the last year for which the Environmental Protection Agency has data, the United States generated 11.9 million tons — or about 75 pounds per person — of textile waste, most of which ended up in landfills."

That figure is not limited to consumer clothing. This article is NYT recasting the repercussions of bad industrial practices as something that customers should feel guilty about, when they are actually responsible for only a small proportion.

I know some really great people on 30 under 30 who do deserve to be there. For example my friend Susan Ho[1] who is not only a formidable founder, but also worked to expose some rampant sexual misconduct in venture capital in spite of the risks. Unfortunately I suspect folks like Susan are in the minority.

So this is basically an automated version of Cydia Impactor, with a few key new features: using WiFi Sync instead of USB connection to upload the apps, which enables automatic resigning without user input, and the ability to use a single provisioning profile for multiple apps, which bypasses the low app limit for free developer accounts.

Seems like a very nice job and will likely make Impactor and signing services like Tuta or AppValley obsolete.
The only source that I could find immediately is this one:

Entry 3508 talks about 35 degrees Celsius in May of 1892, which for Germany is freakin' hot.

Another entry calls 31 degrees Celsius in June 1818 exceptionally hot, which I would not consider exceptional at all.
Trump is president of the United States, not of the EU. It is the EU and its member states' onus to obtain similar changes, should they believe them desirable.

That you begin with a snarky remark about Trump, and then go on to say that he is at fault for not helping Belgium or Austria win the kind of changes that the US needed to seriously threaten to leave the UPU for, says more about you than about the US or Trump.
It is - I thought it remained excellent, but unlike Children of Time, missed the mark a bit on its potential.
I would say it goes the other way. Any program better ask me as the owner of the box to elevate to Admin. That is how it works on OS X. Any program that tries to get around this as a "user-experience thing" is a bigger danger than the threat it is protecting against.
Looks like it was originally named for the creator(Halligan) but I'm guessing someone people made the mistake of calling it hooligan and there wasn't enough pressure to correct them.

Obviously I can't prove this but I'd bet the inability to get into an emotionally stable (or any) relationship is one of the contributing factors to soaring youth crime across the world. It's not the only one (economy, political divide) but it's a biggie.

I don't understand the brouhaha around anti-vaxxers.

If some minority of children aren't vaccinated, how is that a threat to the rest who are? What's the point of the vaccinations if they aren't effective at protecting the vaccinated from the diseases carried by those who aren't?

I must be missing something, because it just looks like people meddling in the affairs of others. If a parent wants to have non-vaccinated children, I don't see how it's any different than a parent letting their children grow obese. It's their problem, live and let live.
Anecdotally, I think you've got the examples wrong.

For me, announcing specific projects that I'm working on definitely demotivates me. After announcing personal projects that may or may not fully happen, it feels like I'm then working for others who have expectations, rather than for myself. That's not fun.

But telling people about things like changes to my lifestyle are different. I feel like it almost even helps to have people ask me if I'm still working out, motivation to fulfill that expectation.

Maybe it's because in the first example, what I want to accomplish requires creativity, while in the second, it only requires regimen. Expectations of my regimen challenge me to work, expectations of my creativity feel like boundaries, which are antithetical to the creative process.
Indeed, most EU countries guarantee the same or better. But in the US (and most of the world, to be brutally honest) it's a different league.

The reason? That most vilified of ideas: socialism.

This. It is not long enough to gain wisdom and pass it to the next generation.
The skeptic can go and read the relevant papers and if they find flaws in them write their own paper. If their counterarguments are compelling they'd likely convince more than one or two percent of the climate scientists.

What about the intellectual property of those articles? How do you give credit to the author?
I suppose "significant" is subjective. Is it good enough for you if I adjust my statement to simply: "some people work better in open offices"?

Is there some threshhold of significance where it becomes acceptable to force everyone into an office space that doesn't work for everyone? Or can we just agree that we don't need to force everyone to work the same way, and people should be allowed to work in the office space that works for them?
Reading, by far.

It might impinge on GDP by 100% by ending human civilization. That 10% figure was the "median" outcome at the time, and increasingly it's looking like a hopelessly optimistic best case scenario.
Also, the 12-year deadline is a talking point for politicians. However the IPCC said there is not some “magic global mean temperature or total emissions that separate 'fine' from 'catastrophic’” [1]

Thanks for sharing this! Was mid bite of my lunch and just stopped with my mouth open.
During China's cultural revolution, for the sake of taking a Great Leap Forward, whole country-sides melted their metal housewares and cookware (trying to make steel) and killed all their sparrows ( to eliminate farm pests ) because the people were misinformed, but also mostly because the people were severely disincentivized from disagreeing. Going against the party line at that time meant you and your family going to work-camps for re-education, not simply just getting canceled. You don't always want to follow the masses, the 99%.

In your scenario, there's no way for the sovereign individual to go East unless he can find the ones in the 99% with the cognitive dissonance. Abandoning ship would be the metaphorical equivalent of becoming a hermit and giving up on society.
I'm unsure what you mean; intermediaries can absolutely cache responses regardless of whether they are retrieved with HTTP or HTTPS. One great example of this is Cloudflare itself, acting as a CDN for backing systems which serve content to Cloudflare protected with HTTPS.

If you are talking about a separate, non-intermediary cache service, this is neither part of HTTPS or HTTP. While there are certainly third party implementations that work this way, there isn't a generalized approach out there to solve this. Instead you have things like software caching services specific to a particular vendor, or things like Google AMP.
Well, they use this acronym in the article so it makes perfect sense in context.
I love HN, but this sounds incredibly limiting and a sure fire way of making sure you have an incredibly narrow view of things.
For most people, work is a necessity for living. Among those who work, it's usually a luxury to be able to decide how you work. For so many people, work is something that is imposed upon them. They must do as they are told, when they are told. I'm afraid Stoicism may not have much to offer them.

Notably, Stoics didn't really have a problem with slavery. The Greek Stoics mostly believed that anything that did happen to you was inherently "right", in that it must be a result of the logos.

My heart is heavy for you. This is a difficult thing to overcome. I am sure, given your comments, that you have tried high and low and have come to the same conclusion.
I was in the same boat, being highly addicted to porn and not desiring or enjoying sex with my wife. When we did have sex, my mind was elsewhere having sex with these women in my imagination and yes it was slowly killing my wife. She struggled with feelings of being unattractive. You think you are hiding it but it is a dark life that manifests itself in other ways. My addiction lasted 16 years and grew worse with time.

I tried to quit as much as I could but would always fall. Maybe I went a few days or a week at best.

Until I discovered Jesus Christ and gave myself fully to Him. I became born again and truly relinquished control to Him.

Hear me please, there is NO other way to overcome this as it is a spiritual battle that has been well thought out and efficiently deployed in these end times for the masses.

Take heed, just being born again didn't do it. I had to fully, 100%, give up myself and He showed up big time and broke those chains. That is the ONLY way that works. Now, I have no desire to watch porn nor do I look at girls lustfully and in fact, TV shows with nudity offend my spirit (hopefully you'll come to know what this means).

I realize this won't be popular here but having tried all other ways and failing, I invite you to try Him out (if you haven't already). Know that He loves you so much and is waiting for you to invite him into your heart.

Cry out to the Lord and invite Him into your heart. Cry out to Him and acknowledge that you, on your own means, are unable to overcome this spiritual onslaught and ask Him for grace to overcome. He will show up because He promised He would and is no man that He should lie. I am praying for you.

I actually enjoyed it a bit more than Children of Time. Both are great books.
I'm also horrified by the amount of comments delegitimizing this important issue. Even worse, we see governments doing it.

Yes, I agree with you, it's terrible. The challenge is indeed enormous. The future looks bleak, specially to young people who will actually have to deal with it. Even worse, people in poor countries will probably be the most affected by this crisis. Is it already to late? I wonder.

Nevertheless, it's good to see people fighting for awareness. The recent protests are very important. Also, we are always seeing new technologies, and even old technologies that can help being developed and improved.
I don't think it's universally accepted in accelerationist circles that humanity strictly has no agency. Jehu[1], a left-accelerationist, advocates for decreased working hours as that will apply pressure on the capitalist system to drive down labor value even more. This will lead to capitalism's collapse as that will disrupt capitalism's reliance on surplus value (profit) of goods and services produced from labor (based on the labor theory of value). The capitalists will eliminate each other through competition until only state capitalism is left, and then the nation state will be overthrown under the weight of its own contradictions. (This is in opposition to Marxists usually citing the state as a necessity for socialism.) Granted, this tendency will happen whether or not people push for it, but there is collective agency to accelerate towards the next phase of society.
