Impressive achievement. It still sounds like callee's have more knowledge of callers than is justified. Is it a security property or a component functionality property? How do those interact?

A centralised graph representation of the security/functionality properties would be a better way to represent this information, so it can catch adding interfaces which should be forbidden. Also able to be configuration managed as sets of microservices.

If you have a connectivity graph it would be good to do taint analysis to see how far bad information can propagate.
You raise a good point. To answer your question: No, that is absolutely not okay.

I'm afraid I don't have a good solution for that.
Articles about Climate Change seem to get very few comments on Hacker News. I think nearly every other article on the home page right now has more comments including an articles about building a flying taxi (47 comments).

Honest Question: Why is there seemingly such little interest in what very well could be a huge threat to the survival of humanity?

I asked a similar question here - and it got 0 comments!

> (CTEC) found that extremist groups can use GPT-2 for misuse, specifically by fine-tuning GPT-2 models on four ideological positions: white supremacy, Marxism, jihadist Islamism, and anarchism. CTEC demonstrated that it’s possible to create models that can generate synthetic propaganda for these ideologies

I wonder how they tested that

Isn't the other view that this is exactly why Google employees aren't objecting?

Not just in a "biting the hand that feeds you" sense, either. There's a selection effect in place: anyone currently working at Google either developed those practices, supported their use, or wasn't upset enough to avoid working there. Working with oil and surveillance gets protested precisely because it's not central to what Google employees do; it makes those projects easier to stop, and means that there are people who both work at Google and reject those projects.
Assuming you're in the position of power, you have to clean house in your company / department and weed out all the bad management / policies that drove people out in the first place. Then, you in theory will have a large amount of budget to work with (since people have left, and people have been fired/let go) and you can use that budget to incentivize good people to work there. Competitive salaries, equity, benefits etc. A lot of good engineers like small teams / companies because they believe they can make a bigger impact on the culture and direction of the company.
The very fact that those papers made it to the publications means they were peer-reviewed and agreed to be redistributed by public institutions. Anonymous internet sites are not peer-reviewed.
Climate Change is an existential threat. Period.
Fwiw, we kinda had the opposite experience when trying to get them to fix the a11y of their product.

It has been a constant struggle on all platforms to get the stripe widgets to behave correctly.

You are right, the average car trip is covered by plugin hybrids.
I was referring to business trips, i.e. the typical clientele of the car types in my OP. The average business driving distance (not commute) is twice the average of all drives. (source: Chapter 3.2 in [1])
If only businessmen/fieldstaff/etc. are taken into account and no craftsmen/tradesmen numbers would be even higher. (read: drivers of said premium hybrids vs. box wagons)

> The overhead from the consensus algorithm serves no purpose and will only limit throughput of the whole system, and appears to be there here no reason other than apparently cargo culting public blockchain technology which is not designed for this use case.

I may be behind on Libra news, but my understanding was that the permissioned blockchain governance model would only exist during the bootstrapping phase to launch Libra and would eventually evolve into a public blockchain once it reaches some arbitrary point of stability. If that is still the case, then wouldn't Byzantine fault tolerance be required from the get-go, assuming Facebook wants to avoid a hard fork of Libra?
Actually OP is more right than even he knows, because the small towns themselves should never have been built but for massive federal government land subsidies for railroads in the 19th century - huge sections of which were never sustainable even when built, let alone a century later.
If it was just one column, that would be easy enough. Or if one object was on one row, it would be easy enough. In my case, up to 6 rows could be required to represent one object, and I had to slice 3 columns with an arbitrary number of slices.

Oh, and there were two types of sub-record per object, and they had to be processed in database order.
Honestly, the only problem I ran into with Stripe ever was administrating subscriptions. IIRC even via the API there were a lot of limitations with what state you could put a subscription in, limiting our ability to seamlessly transition from Recurly to Stripe; we ended up duplicating a lot of the subscription logic in the end.

I know subscriptions have been significantly rehauled since then, but this was my only gripe. Stripe was absolutely excellent back when I used it.

This is fundamentally different from regulation in that there is no regulator to influence.

Its a highly politicized topic.

The two major political parties in the United States are arguing over the validity of the claims.

I use Joplin[0], mostly because it's the only thing I've found that has a client that works offline on Linux. (There's also TagSpaces, but the UI never really clicked with me).

I've often wished to have a "graph" feature where notes could be linked together, and you could see some kind of cluster, or maybe do queries based on number of edges from something. Stuff like that.

It sounds like this tool would offer something like that. But just the front-page doesn't really show enough to be sure if I would find it useful or not. I'm not going to create an account to spent 5 minutes fooling with something I may wind up not liking and never using again.

If the Roam people are reading this thread, maybe think about adding a screenshot gallery, an interactive demo that doesn't need an account, and/or a demo video showing off the key features.

I would potentially be willing to pay for a notes app, but as others have noted SAAS has some problems. The data portability / vendor lock-in aspect can be solved by supporting export into common formats, but this also functionally precludes offline use. That would be a non-starter for me personally.

Another question : what can I do to make things change ?
You can use the cpu cgroup controller to starve your program of CPU time. Use the cpu.cfs_quota_us and cpu.cfs_period_us knobs.

Now if only there was a way to use the blkio controller to emulate the performance characteristics of spinning rust (reasonable sequential IO performance but with a big penalty for random access...)
I have a 4k monitor and a 2k monitor. If I could go back and do it over, I'd just get a 2k ultra-wide. The 4k monitor has caused me a lot of headaches trying to get hardware / software to support it with dual displays.
The topic is very politically divisive, because half the country refuses to acknowledge it. It's unfortunate that such controversies occur here. We're supposed to be an "idea lab".
There are legitimate reasons to report non-GAAP numbers next to the required GAAP numbers. When it was required to recognize revenue phone sales over 2 years, Apple included non-GAAP numbers to give investors a better sense of how sales were actually growing, and reported it as "Adjusted Sales" and "Adjusted Net Income." These were completely made up terms, but they did give a vastly more accurate image of where the company was going than the GAAP numbers did.

> The climate crisis is closely linked to excessive consumption of the wealthy lifestyle.

> Excessive extraction of materials and overexploitation of ecosystems, driven by economic growth, must be quickly curtailed to maintain long-term sustainability of the biosphere.

> Profoundly troubling signs from human activities include sustained increases in both human and ruminant livestock populations, per capita meat production, world gross domestic product, global tree cover loss, fossil fuel consumption, the number of air passengers carried, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and per capita CO2 emissions since 2000

There's the rub. The vast majority of people in the developing world want the wealthy, Western lifestyle. People like eating meat. People like having technology and air conditioning and transportation and using airplanes to visit far off places.

No leader of a developing country is going to go to their people and say, "Sorry, for the sake of the planet we are going to remain poor." And no leader of developed country is going to go to their people and say, "Sorry, for the sake of the planet, we are going to have to give up our lifestyle, and curtail our economic growth."

> Exactly 40 years ago, scientists from 50 nations met at the First World Climate Conference (in Geneva 1979) and agreed that alarming trends for climate change made it urgently necessary to act.

My guess is that 40 years from now, this group of scientists will put out a paper talking about how they have been warning us for the last 80 years, and we still haven't done anything.
True - but then there is no reason the counties those companies operate in should continue to trade with the US or supply the resources it needs.

Yeah, this isn't really a relevant critique in farm country. You can live in a town and walk to the grocery store, but then you need to drive to work. Or else you can live on a farm and drive to a town to buy groceries. But in no scenario does farming and density work together. Industrial-scale farming doesn't happen without car travel. Subsistence farming does, but if all the farmers are subsistence farmers then the cities don't get fed.

If you want to be a proponent of dense urban living, that's great. Dense urban living is good. But dense urban living is only feasible because farm country exists.
it says worldwide, but we all know who this is aimed at. Global North countries with excess consumption are distinctly to blame. Why then, the emphasis on coordinated global action? Broad demands, like moving away from GDP and doing nice sustainable things instead are not productive. But when these kinds of alliances insist on ignoring the overwhelming burden of the US and friends on the climate crisis, instead asking for aid in moving developing countries and their minuscule footprint away from fossil fuels, its the only way to go about it. We need to understand that, as the developing world, this is not “our” fault. It is -their- fault. That’s why this will fizzle out like all the agreements before it. If these thousands of scientists want to make a change, they need to throw their weight behind specific policy proposals in specific guilty countries and get political, using their numbers as focused power and not as vague alarmism calling for impossible policy.
I think the issue is that people feel hopeless. A lot of people probably wonder what’s the point of anything or programming in general if the planet itself is currently under siege.

I think it’s hard to know what to do as a software engineer which is what most of hacker news readers are.

The most we can really do right now is live as sustainable as possible and lead sustainable lives.

What is kind of sad is many of us are chasing higher comp all the time and workin at companies whose missions we really don't align with, when sustainable lifestyles probably require much less than we think we need.

The fashion industry is fragmented, hugely fragmented, and I don't see people claiming everyone should wear just Adidas or Nike.

What big corps are creating is just this plutocrat monopsony where about 100-200 families control the planet finances. So here's where I and my love for the big corp tend to go sour.

But when you say:

>many company's goals are not aligned with the interests of society at large or the state. The thing to do is to regulate them, provide incentives and rules to fix their problems even if it comes at the cost of competition

You go back to where we are now.

The solution for the big corps isn't to regulate them, is to regulate their commodities.

People need to be able to create. That's what we do as humans. Big corps are blocking us here. Big automation is coming, so what then?

Wanna keep Nestle accountable for bottling our water? Regulate access to it.

Wanna curb Facebook data monopoly? Make them erase all their data and start over, now any company can make a new Facebook.

Wanna curb big pharma? Stop acting like fools with the patent trolling.

We have all means in the world to promote healthy economics, everyone is just too busy getting richer while enabling big corps to promote their entry deterrence as business as usual. No.

I’m interested in the term “distributed monolith” and why shared libraries are bad, can you elaborate? (I’m an experienced dev who’s never worked on micro services). Say a service that consumed 6 other services became a service that consumed 3 other services and 3 libraries. The interfaces were the same, the libraries are consumed via package management and have good test coverage. Why is that worse?

I’m actually not surprised you have a service for handling working days. The list of UK bank holidays should ideally be stored in one place, with everything else consuming that. But not all of the 1500 services have their own data stores, do they?

igammarays seems to be most concerned with "bad ideas" being spread by the recently unfettered access given to the common person to publish to the world at large. There was probably a similar grievance during the development of the printing press, and given that many people here would probably disagree with the "mainstream" ideas of even the recent past, it's hard for me to imagine how a renewed effort at gatekeeping will really solve the issue.

Given the quote from Mill listed in that article, I expect the biggest quibble Mill would have with the use of social media not the dissemination of "fake news", but with how outrage culture has been used to deprive people of their jobs (e.g. "dongle-gate") or how people have been "doxxed" and then harassed in person by lawless thugs (e.g. antifa showing up at Tucker Carlson's house).
