It's the "proper" part that's the problem. Even the Yosemite finish is problematic. Google for "deaths from climbing with bowline" and you'll find lots of veteran climbers who have died or been seriously injured from their bowline coming undone, either because they did it messily and it capsized, or they screwed it up and didn't realize it until they took a fall.
If priced accurately, why do you think the externalities of CO2 are anywhere near enough to destroy demand for meat?

I only perennially bring this up, because one time I was interested in what the numbers might be, and I looked up the National Resources Defense Council estimates were for the economic impact of global warming in ~a half century. The rather startling figures were only a few dollars per gallon of gas. Not to be at all precise, by "a few" I mean 1-10. Not, it seems to me, qualitatively different that the difference between US and European gas prices. Obviously people still eat meat in the EU and haven't radically changed their lifestyle.

I'm not saying that therefore we should not stop climate change, just that as far as I know, the NRDC is reasonably reputable, not a nest of deniers, and they didn't seem to be supporting an economic case for major changes to everyone's lifestyle. That should be shocking, or at least require some resolution.

Some people do have the opinion that mainstream sources downplay the consequences of global warming so as not to be too alarmist, and in fact we can't be too alarmist because it really is too late. Maybe that is correct, but when there is such a disconnect and people just don't talk about it most of the time, it deeply worries me. Not just the idea that the world might be ending and we aren't resolving how to prevent it, but that maybe nobody who is talking about these things is serious at all.

Most companies have line managers. Line managers are not directors, they are managers. There are also senior managers. I think your schedule is good but I think you should add at least 1 layer maybe two.
Signal really tries hard to not be trustworthy.

The way they defend WhatsApp is heart-breaking. It's cute to see them saying there is no backdoor when it can't be proven to be the case, since it's all proprietary. They can't show the server side wasn't tampered with. Same with Skype.

The only thing I can find is a Reddit post saying it's fake. Got something substantial instead?

Given the Chinese previously broke the record 2 years ago with 1300 and Intel broke it again just recently with over 2000 why exactly do you think it's fake?

I suspect that their intention is to just put the activists etc. at rest as opposed to actually cut down pollution. They can't just say that they'll continue to use coal power plants in their current state, considering that our current emission norms are not at par with that of the world. The statement is just a consolation for the world so that the govt. does not appear too callous.

Does Big Business Hate Your Family?
Hello all! Based on the feedback I've received in the last day I've made some improvements:

I'm now making use of Samir's Secret Sharing Scheme meaning you can now specify a threshold of horcruxes required to resurrect the original file (hopefully putting me in better standing among the HP crowd)

If your threshold equals the total number of horcruxes, I'll divide the content evenly between each horcrux to reduce file size. Otherwise each horcrux will contain the same encrypted content

As I've mentioned in another comment I no longer load files into memory so the program runs pretty fast

Thanks for the valuable feedback everyone!
> Their downfall is thinking they actually knew what they were doing and therein lies their problem.

I read an interview with the PlentyOfFish founder and he alluded to this.

People would ask him why his site looked so bad compared to other dating sites. He said he he was afraid trying to make it better would make it worse. In reality he didn't know why people liked his site so much but it was working.

So he ended up working a couple hours each morning checking for spam and paying bills and took the rest of the day off instead of trying to constantly "improve" the site.
> let's blame it all on other people

Unfortunately we can't blame it on ourselves as our carbon emissions, assuming it's even relevant, have decreased massively compared to predictions.
In the last year of the 2010s Chennai ran out of water.

In the last month of 2010s, UK voters have affirmed their xenophobia.

Predicting mass misplacement of peoples from poorer countries trying to live in increasingly xenophobic Western countries besieged by terror attacks, cyber and IRL both doesn't require a Nostradamus.

He's talking about it being flagged on Github, not HN.
This is fun. Here are some of my predictions:

By 2030:

1. Google shuts down at least one of Pixel Phones, Gmail, Google Cloud. Even after a decade, Google is not able to make a successful social-network or messaging application.

2. Stock market: Microsoft and Amazon at-least doubles in MarketCap. AMD will be at-least 4 times what it is now. Tesla will be 5 times by the end of the decade. FB stays about the same!

3. Facebook.com usage goes down considerably (at least by half)

4. Climate change causes mass migrations and wars. Corporations start buying/acquiring massive amounts of land. At least one private company tries to "buy a country". Major wars will be fought over immigration.

5. Bitcoin adoption increases due improvements in usability. Still used only for niche use-cases though.

6. Electric cars will go above 50% share of new car sales. Tesla will be the leader. Self driving cars will be common. Car ownership in general will reduce.

In 2006 the Indian Supreme Court ordered the central and state governments to implement police reforms [1]. In the 14 years none of the governments, whether left leaning or right leaning implemented the reforms in the way they were intended. Police remain an extension to of whoever is in power.

No, what I’m saying is without the iMac the company would have sunk before OS X could do anything to save it
> Doesn’t a single centralized monopoly providing everyone’s healthcare seem like a bad idea?

No. It doesn’t “seem” like a bad idea. Go look at actual countries that do it - it works fine and it’s vastly cheaper than the US’s failed “system”.

That said, you don’t have to go all the way and have a single healthcare provider: a single insurer will do just fine - it works for Germany!

Also: what the heck is a non-monopoly government even supposed to be? Of course a government is a monopoly (it is all of us), you want lots of competing governments running the same things? Now that does seem like a bad idea.

That is not the way to think about it - Imagine if Android didn't exist or faltered like Symbian, RIM, Windows Mobile etc. Google would have been paying way more than 8 billion. Android is definitely worth more than the money accounted towards it.
> A first-level manager passed over for promotion wouldn't be dismissed

This system will encourage first-level managers to do everything in their power to be "passed over" every single time. I can imagine the ridiculous shenanigans they'd pull, walking the fine line between not being too competent lest you get promoted, without being too incompetent that you get fired outright. Sounds like the making of a truly middling culture: questionably competent-ish, but not ambitious.

I think I'd watch a Office Space/Silicon-Valley-type show based on this premise. The overachiever character perennially delegated to bug triage, doing endless interviews for a perpetually open position on the team and being sabotaged when they manage to put some real work in after-hours (for comic relief. In real life, they'd get fired)
Wisdom Bar: Quotes on Entrepreneurship and Life, Right in Your Mac-Menu-Bar
"but at least Zuckerberg &co. have some skin in the game when standing for their values". Is this really the case, can you expand on this?
An “appeal to authority” argument isn’t automatically a fallacy.

On the other hand, there’s been a rise in activist workers who believe they’re victims of authoritarianism whenever their subjective demands are not met immediately and in full. They often present themselves moral authorities, and by using an “appeal to authority” fallacy, they justify breaking policies, speaking on behalf of their coworkers, doxxing coworkers whom they don’t agree with, making false claims in the press, etc.

Whether or not I’m aligned with the underlying cause, the tactics and behavior on display has become increasingly indefensible.

Some people will, but most will own super-charge electric, service stations will pivot into being food-first. Avocado and toast will be available on the freeways along R66.

Interesting prediction about Tesla and one that I share because I think we will see leaps in progress by most traditional automotive companies as they finally catch up. Tesla could then be acquired, after changing the automotive landscape for good. Mission accomplished.

Yes, Ive was absolute shit, which is why Steve Jobs (widely known as a cuddly man who never had a sharp word to say), said

"If I had a spiritual partner at Apple, it's Jony. Jony and I think up most of the products together and then pull others in and say, 'Hey, what do you think about this?' He gets the picture as well as the most infinitesimal details about each product. And he understands that Apple is a product company. He's not just a designer. That's why he works directly for me. He has more operational power than anyone else at Apple except me."

But sure. I prefer the clunky beige form that ruled the world before Apple started making big design waves in computers.

1. China overtakes the USA GDP by 2029

2. Trump wins reelection

3. The United States has a recession by 2021.

4. Inflation becomes an issue in the United States because of high debt, increased military spending as a result of great power competition and huge pension debts/promises coming due with baby boomers retiring. The best investments (other then great startups of course) becomes Gold (because of the proclivity to favor spenders over savors.)

5. The United States will focus on big infrastructure spending.

6. Google develops a competitor to Huawei's Safe City project for the United States and its geopolitical allies

7. Humanity will reach mars

8. Humanity will turn the corner on Carbon pollution

9. San Francisco reaches a breaking point and elects moderates whose focus is building more housing.

10. The United States will join the TPP

11. Chinese culture and media breaks out and becomes popular in a similar way Hollywood and American culture is popular in other places

12. Amazon will be bigger than today

13. TikTok will have regulatory problems, and with those a Facebook TikTok clone will emerge, and gain local traction.

14. Autonomous trucks will displace millions of works, but some may find a niche doing last mile trucking.

15. Go will be a top 10 language
It's always been Indian government's arguments that India can't do as much as the developed countries when it comes to climate change, specially around energy needs. So this step is hardly surprising.
There's an additional advantage to the Kobo. The whole operating system is just on an SD card, unencrypted. You can copy it, image it, edit, modify it and so on very, very easily and it's impossible to brick it as long as you made a copy of the SD card.

Companies in developed countries have been exporting emissions to developing countries. Those companies are profiting while people like you and I point fingers at each other. Pretty funny. Anyway if you look at the emission metrics per capita it's still developed countries at the top.

What I'm finding kind of interesting is that in the 2010 predictions here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1025681, most folks were only offering one or a few predictions. In this thread, most people are putting out 8 to 10 predictions. I wonder what that says about us now as opposed to back then.
No I'm talking about being flagged here on HN, sorry if that wasn't clear.

And I apologize but the first few times the post didn't get any traction (really due to the Readme being very sparse). But last time I posted with a nice Readme and it went pretty viral and now I can't post about my lifetime historic moment of reaching #1 on GH trending? I've been working my butt off on this I'm just trying to hustle and show some people (and people are very appreciative so where's the harm?)
In the EU that is probably true due to mature policies and infrastructure. But in many other countries, they still need government interventions to make initiatives. I anticipate that market-driven growth will become prevalent throughout the world.

By 2030.

1. There will be more electric cars bought than non-electric. Countries start banning petrol diesel cars.

2. Huge wave of internet content moderation/censoring. New laws passed across countries to moderate content.

3. Bitcoins gain traction, everyone starts using them, although it's value go down considerably.
I think it's tempting to attribute to structure what can be better explained by accident.

You obviously have more context, but from my experience developing product, there are almost always ways to change direction incrementally and in a manner that allows you to get your toe wet to test the temperature, and not dive in unshielded.

Although I realize now you may be saying that change was inevitable, but catastrophe wasn't.

That's interesting! In Australia, the Navara that the Titan was borne from was always a 4 cylinder turbo diesel. Other markets using the smaller turbo diesels is what inspired Cummins to bring out their 4 cylinder crate motor in the US for project 4x4 swaps. The idea is they're a great alternative to petrol V8s and a much more efficient and lightweight package than a Cummins 6 or 8. You can get all the torque you could ever want for 4x4 out of a 2.5 litre turbo diesel, and they'll fit in anything. I suspect the Titan is more aimed at towing though, so no surprise they've got the bigger Cummins.
It could even be once a week and it would still have a dramatic effect on GHG emissions. But as others have noted, it's too big a problem to rely on individually motivated behavior change. The price has to go up for it to be considered precious.
It's pretty common to have neural networks that have both recurrent nets processing text input and convolutional layers. A classic example would be visual question answering (is there a duck in this picture?). That would be a simple example involving looping over one part of the model. Ideally you want that looping to be done as locally as possible to avoid wasting time having a program on a CPU dispatching, waiting for results and controlling data flow.

Having talked to someone at Cerebras, I also know that they don't just want to do inference with this, they want to accelerate training as well. That can involve much more complex control flow than you think. Start reading about automatic differentiation and you will soon realize that it's complex enough to basically be its own subfield of compiler design. There have been multiple entire books written on the topic, and I can guarantee you there can be control-flow driven optimizations in there (eg: if x == 0 then don't compute this large subgraph).
