Not only is CO2 continuing to rise, but it's rate of growth appears to be accelerating, from ~1.5ppm/year in the 80s/90s to 2ppm/year earlier this decade and now as much as 2.5-3ppm/year average now.

If this continues, we'll hit 420ppm within a couple years, 430ppm maybe 4 years after that, over 440ppm if not nearing 450ppm by the end of the 2020s with no slowdown in sight.

Truly, truly alarming.

It seems to me that a lot of people of a certain generation have issues with the idea that different meanings of a word can co-exist.

Many words have dictionary entries with multiple definitions. And if you Google a word you are curious about, you will probably find an online page with one or more definition.

But nobody has any motivation to make such an entry complete or accurate - it only exists like everything else to get clicks.

So for some reason people have become very dogmatic that any definition missing from the current top hit for a word doesn't exist, because the internet is their reality. They don't seem to have any idea how thoroughly their reality is being distorted.

As far as my personal experience goes, in the 80s and 90s, CPU was used to mean the box containing the processor, where the computer was not an "all-in-one" like the original Macintosh, and it was also used to mean the chip. I don't remember using the former meaning, but neither was I ever confused.

I don't think it's reasonable to argue that one or the other definition is illegitimate, because I think they share a common thread. The modern CPU has multiple processors and other things on-die, so it is "processor plus stuff" just like the CPU-as-main-chassis. I think they are both examples of one basic concept.
Unbound supports DoT as well.
It's a gigantic amount. For context Hoffman took around 300mcg and was clearly tripping very hard (based on his account); that's around 4X street acid at 75mcg per tab.

Even if you were to measure a single tab as 150mcg the OP is claiming they took nearly 10 tabs, which is a massive amount, you'd be out of your mind for days.

Modern day jihadist groups are now utilizing Telegram, Whatsapp, and TikTok to preserve and spread material. It’s quite easy to gain access to them — i’ve heard — as many researchers are gaining access to these messages to preserve said materials. Plus these apps give them an ability to easily communicate transcontinentally.

There's this concept of punching up or down. The little guy shouldn't be punched down to - in conventional politically correct culture.

Mostly the legal system is not encouraged to be politically correct.

Mr. Snowden broke his oath and leaked confidential data. His defense is the greater good. That should prevent prosecution.

Mr. Clapper lied to Congress when he said "Not Wittingly."

Mrs. Clinton failed to safeguard confidential data.

Others have broken the law, and they are not prosecuted.

We should prosecute those who break the law. They should defend themselves accordingly.

The real solution to this mess is for Congress to pass a law that exposing illegal activities is allowed. Wait - they did! The whistleblower protections don't work. More corruption.
At least that'll help with ocean acidification, though, right?
wasn't the (purported) motivation for Safari's change performance?

Maybe, but what kind of performance hit will letting all the ads and nonsense through be? I probably could aim to find a trusty ad blocker for Safari, keeping in mind that Apple has left the disingenuously named uBlock up in their extension store. Or I could just stick with uBlock Origin and a browser that works with it.

I've got ~2000 tabs open in Firefox right now and don't feel like performance or battery life is a problem. I use 1Blocker on iOS, but it's clunkier, less effective, and more expensive than uBlock Origin (and I still get tons of in-app ads). That's not something I'm in any hurry to bring over to the desktop.
Wasn’t there a pin on his account?
It's certainly something that some EU data protection regulators are looking into. Here's a related story, this time in the context of Windows 10, from earlier this month:

But if you have a list of 1000 beefy cache nodes who do you send the ransom letters to?

How about if each beefy cache node has 1000 IPs instead of 1?

What if each client was sticky, so if Comcast buys a Netflix account they only end up on one beefy cache node?

Hell if pushed hard enough maybe netflix would enable p2p (encrypted with DRM of course) for content delivery. I'd happily hook up a 1TB usb to my roku if it improved the playback experience.

Of course DoT is not perfect, but it does seem like it would help, so much so that Comcast is lobbying against it.
That would make a lot of sense to folks who are unfamiliar with hit.... also me.

> My father worked a minimum wage job most of his life and was able to retire a multi-millionaire simply because he saved and invested his disposable income.

Inflation-adjusted federal minimum wage is lower today than it has been most of the time since the 1956, and if you measure against minimal needs it's even worse because CPI also includes hedonic adjustment. Sure, by historical standards (both before and since) the “Lost" Generation, the Boomers, and (to a lesser extent) the leading edge of Gen X spent all or a substantial share of their adulthood in times where, especially if you were a White man at least, there was unusually strong economic opportunity for the working class.
Here's a cheap thing they can do: you don't have to stop commingling entirely, but you can give me a way to opt out of it. Either via account settings or letting me specify during checkout.

Sometimes I may not care which seller it comes from and just want the closest one. Other times, I'm OK with waiting if it means I am more sure of what I'm getting.

Yellow-jacketed CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing used for natural gas) must also be bonded. This was added to the code in the mid-2000s so homes built from the mid-nineties when CSST became available till around 2005 when bonding requirements for it were added may not have it. I had to retrofit it to my 2004 home.

This loops back into the ongoing "why academic publishing is terrible" conversation. And why we're probably heading towards scientists needing to run for office again, like what happened after the Great Depression.
You don't need telemetry or telepathy to hear the chorus of users screaming at the top of their lungs where to shove your telemetry feature.
Employees are able to override the pin entering requirement. There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop this from happening if you happen to get targeted. (Speaking from experience)
There's also a problem with patronage, which is that people may not end up producing content that would infuriate the people directly paying them.

News organizations pre-Internet got around this by being too big to ignore for marketers, and by attempting to firewall newsrooms and advertising.
>> the fact that co2 in the atmosphere is growing indicates we're overwhelming these

>No, it doesn't, it just indicates different timescales for CO2 emissions vs. uptake.

It's not clear to me what the distinction is you're trying to make here? If the time scale for emissions vs. uptake is different such that emissions are exceeding uptake capacity due to the different timescales, isn't the previous comment correct?

This is the case pretty much everywhere, and is unrelated to sea level rise.
"Would you say the blog is not idiomatic Go?"

Yes, it's a contrived example to make the point in the blog. Blog samples have to be taken that way. The vast majority of the time real code decorates in Go, it's with either A: an interface of 1 method or B: something sufficiently local in concern that this sort of thing isn't a concern, beyond it just being a bug (a compiler forcing you to specify an override won't save you from just sticking the minimal stub in). Part of why this can be a problem in Java is you tend to get a certain sprawl to your class hierarchy that doesn't occur in Go. Or most other languages, used well. Java's got some unique weaknesses in this area that do not generally translate.

Startup WeWork's cofounder got richer. But its employees lost out
Thanks to SoftBank, WeWork's cofounder, Adam Neumann, is now $1.7B richer. As an entrepreneur, this is a great personal story for him and his family, and perhaps inspirational to other entrepreneurs. But what about WeWork's employees? Doesn't what's happening to those employees undermine the excitement of working for a startup?

Aside from the fact that thousands are slated to be laid off, the equity compensation of employees has virtually been wiped out. Briefly, this is what I know per my review of the news:
In January 2019 WeWork's vaulting valuation was $47B. As of this week, that valuation has plummeted to $8B. Based on this week's deal, SoftBank now owns 80% of WeWork, which means that most WeWork's employees' stock options are now underwater (at $20-a-share according to WSJ).

So some of the winners here are Mr. Neumann, SoftBank and some early investors such as JPM's asset management division and VCs such as Benchmark Capital.
If anyone has more details about the winners and losers of WeWork's deal, please share.
I hope he is remembered and his bravery resonates through time. There was Martin Luther and 100’s of years later there was Martin Luther King. Generations from now our descendants could be well served by an EdwaRd Snowden.
> Sometimes it's just the right word for the situation

Sometimes. I wouldn't expect that 95% of recruiters would be 'impressed' by my resumé all of a sudden in 2019, unless my name were John Carmack or something. And even then, why the sudden change?
Except... A lot of enterprises use github enterprise, which I would imagine has similar telemetry? I don't actually know so perhaps I'm wrong...
For your YOE the low end of the range is somewhere between low and average, and the high end is high. Specific business and technology results should drive the negotiation though, not YOE. If YOE is your lever, I'd expect you to land in the bottom third.

My sense of low and high here is relative to other offers, not compensation generally (i.e. what you'd find on levels.fyi). Plenty of people with roughly the same YOE make a lot more thanks to RSU appreciation.

I think the value-add with this service is the notification sending just by exposing an endpoint. I don't see any mention of not needing backend infrastructure (they even call out "connect your web service").

I think this is aimed at people who already are or can expose data via an HTTP endpoint and want notifications when that changes/updates. This includes the wide array of software developers who work on large OS projects that support sending notifications via services like PushBullet/Pushover/etc. Also, presumably, web services would just add a new endpoint with some auth token to easily send push notifications to their users without managing an app and everything else needed (push tokens, certs, GCM/FCM, apns, it can be a headache, trust me).

Personally I see pushover-type services (I use pushover so I'm only speaking from that experience) as more useful since I can "push" out of my networks much easier than a service can "poll" me. That said pushover has always been a little clunky IMHO with trying to get a service to send me notifications. So a simple "Paste this url into the refl.me app to get notifications from us" is a pretty attractive alternative for certain use cases.
Likewise Amazon removing books from its site is much more effective than any book burning.
There's a significant amount of deeply technical requirements in the back-ends of real-time platforms (which Valve is going to need to stop Google from stealing their pie) - especially if Google's super-real-time predictive magic is a believable seemless experience.

That will require a great deal of innovation - just not the sort of end user facing magic that the Valve of old produced.

Unfortunately I fully expect the external visage of the new Valve to be a smooth and greasy risk-adverse PR experience - but hopefully they can provide a platform that someone else can use to produce Half-Life caliber games in the future.

I wish him the best of luck but considering AT&T was a party in the big Supreme Court decision setting the precedent, I predict this falls down the dark hole of mandatory, binding arbitration about twelve minutes after the first hearing on a motion to dismiss and compel arbitration.

We’ve collectively given up our rights to sue in many instances (including when signing up for HN-backed services run by people who should know better).
I was surprised to have my new audiologist describe it as neurological, and it can be the result of the brain trying to fill in "missing gaps" of auditory signals- like the static on analog TVs. Then said new studies show hearing aids can reduce the severity of tinnitus, even when hearing loss is moderate.

She's fairly fresh out of school, and I haven't been able to filter out yet whether there is any new science, or if it's more of a trendy academic topic included in new textbooks, or even a new sales tactic by the hearing aid companies.
Foxconn has purchased a number of buildings, but hasn't quite figured out what it wants to do with them. Simply put, it's a huge, multi-billion dollar global company with many, many more things going on that just Wisconsin, and as such a combination of things- most likely internal politics and / or misaligned management- have slowed down, but not stopped, their plans to expand.

For example, they're in the process of purchasing a property in Eau Claire, have delayed their plans for madison and green bay, and have a stated goal of a 2020 opening for the data center portion for the mount pleasant office building:

https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/north-america/foxconn-s-...

Of course, they're getting a lot more in tax breaks per job created in WI than the original plan was (along with fewer total jobs expected), and it's taking longer, so people are understandably upset.

I'm wondering if the new plans- datacenter, plus "innovation centers" and basically white collar service jobs- aren't a better long term deal for WI anyway. We tend to lose a lot of those types to Chicago and Minneapolis / St. Paul, and if they actually pan out might slow that drain. The 13k manufacturing jobs certainly would have been nice, nonetheless.

Some people hallucinate without drugs. There's a range of this, in terms of intensity and type.

Some people take drugs.

They tend to onset around the same age (adolescence to early adulthood).

Ergo, by base rates, some will start around the same time completely by chance.

Also, I get the sense that some hallucinations are "amplifications" of various types of pre-existing sensory experiences. I wouldn't be surprised if some people just started noticing certain things they were doing already but hadn't noticed before.

Not really arguing against the idea/phenomenon of [semi-]permanent drug-induced hallucinations. Just suggesting that it's hard to interpret the data in some cases because of various alternative explanations.

microplastics aggregate in longer lived predators organisms, killing sharks before plankton. Lowering the maximum size of animal paradoxically increases total biomass, though it's unclear by how much, and it's a pretty unstable proposition at its core what happens to humans in a mass extinction of large organisms.
Most disassociatives like nitrous can cause hallucinations but they are more of an intense dreamlike state than what lsd causes.

With LSD hallucinations you are very much still present in the world even if you interpret things in a strange way.

With the kinds of hallucinations you have with disassociatives you may be partially conscious but you aren’t present in a meaningful way.

I have a vivid memory of a ketamine trip where I was physically in a hotel room but mentally I was flying through some alien crystalline planet. I was awake and apparently talking to people but it was definitely not the same as a psychedelic hallucination.

LSD hallucinations are more like the deep dream images where you have more or less correct sensory input, but anything that looks vaguely eye-like, for example, your brain can’t help interpreting it like an actual eye. The way your brain builds a model of reality just becomes broken and you make all these connections between things that are not normally connected.
Really, "that time the FBI tried to blackmail Martin Luther King into committing suicide" is too far back to count as an example of TLA overreach? We only know about that whole escapade because radicals physically broke into an FBI office and stole evidence of it, this isn't the kind of thing the government willingly admits to us. The CIA destroyed most of the MK-ULTRA documents when they realised Congress was getting ready to ask for them, but we still know that they were drugging unconsenting US citizens with LSD and secretly recording them having sex with hookers (they called it "Operation Midnight Climax") just to see what would happen, but I guess that's old news, too, or maybe it just isn't politcial enough to care about. We probably won't know that they killed Michael Hastings for another couple decades, and then that will be old news, too, so who cares?

This has been reinforced recently for those in and around the bay area. When the power goes out in your neighborhood, or when an emergency situation is developing, it is surprisingly nice to be able to turn on an FM radio and get hourly live updates on the situation, no interaction needed.
