Not having a price on the emissions amounts to an enormous subsidy paid by everyone, though not equally.
Dude, what's with the snark? Can't we have a civilized discussion? You had a point there, but I'm not really inclined to engage with you after the last thing you said.
People make cheats for money, for online infamy, and for the challenge of it

People use cheats because it makes the game more enjoyable. In FPS, someone can shoot you before you have time to react. In RTS, someone can step out of the darkness with an army that traps yours at just the right moment. Cheats replace those unpleasant experiences with pleasant ones where you ambush the enemy and fight them with an advantage

Unfortunately cheating is a negative sum game. When both players cheat, it doesn't just even the odds once again, it makes the game you're playing significantly less enjoyable
What’s interesting is that Thai food in some east Asian countries is considered fancy and the price reflects that while in North America most of them (but not all) are the affordable kind —that is on par with other non-fancy food joints.
We are #1 in cumulative emissions.
The article was about food but glossed over one point: the kingdom of Siam was multi-ethnic, including various people with shared connections across borders (e.g. muslim Malays, Hmong, Karen, Chinese, etc). Switching to "Thai" land was intended to marginalize these other factions. I mention this because the name change was blandly listed along with mentioning the desire to dechinesify the noodles' origin.

This was very much the tenor of the times: Hungary had achieved dual status in the "Austro-Hungarian" empire half a century before; by the 30s "national" self determination was all the rage thanks to WW1, Woodrow Wilson, and picking apart the bones of the Ottoman Empire.

I am not a member of any of the groups involved with no axe to grind (at least in this regard!). But since the article was both a fun trivia piece but brushed against this topic I thought it worth clarifying.
Yeah I always sound like an ass this is why I have a lot of problem finding a job. However once I'm hired I really do work 70h a week for 38k€ (per year, yes) but still am treated like a piece of shit (the reason for that is pure discrimantion but I won't dwelve into this). Then I leave, and they ask me to come back, still treating me like a dog.

You shouldn't accept O(n log n) as the norm: radix sort often gives you O(n) in practice (yes it is really something like O(n log k) for key size k, but k is often fixed, e.g., at 64 bits).

I think radix sorts are probably less popular since, the standard for sorting has always been to provide a "comparator" that compares two objects, and radix sort wants something different entirely: an key you can extract bits from instead. So radix sort was never a drop-in replacement e.g., for qsort in C.

Often you can provide such a key object (and indeed in trivial cases like sorting integers, the entire object is simply the key), but sometimes it would need to be longer than 32 or 64 bits, so the best interface isn't clear: especially in oldschool languages like C which want to pass function pointers as the comprand.

This was kind of cemented when e.g., C++ standard library made == and < the standard things you need to implement not just for std::sort, but also std::map and std::set and many algorithms that rely on order. It's similar in a way to how std::unordered_set/map wasn't a thing until much later when the hashing concept was introduced.

When you can use it, though, radix sort is great: sometimes an order of magnitude faster than comparison sort.
Yes, essentially, if it hasn't otherwise been propagated. Also, the process for creating a new edible variety is fairly time and resource intensive, since it involves planting a lot of seeds and waiting a couple years to see if you get something worthwhile.

The story is also similar for rootstock. Apples are naturally a fairly large tree, which isn't convenient for harvesting. The rootstocks that apples are typically grafted onto are genetic variants that don't grow as large.
I was raided (secret service) thanks to a boneheaded roommate. Woke up to guns drawn and shouting. My advice:

There's a quantum leap in cryptography in WWII and it's a real shame that's so rarely explained even at Bletchley where they'd be well-placed to do it.

Engima (like most systems in use in the 1930s) is thinking about cryptography as being some sort of art in which the idea is to sort of stir letter symbols. Everything else often can't even be encrypted or must be elaborately transformed into letter symbols first. Bletchley has replica "Bombes" which would be used to attack this mechanically, replicating the function of the Enigma machine to defeat it.

Lorenz, which was also attacked at Bletchley using the Colossus, is a modern stream cipher. It XORs a pseudo-random stream against your plaintext bits (albeit in the 1940s these were in 5-bit ITA telegraph code) and so it isn't different in core principles from say RC4 or at a greater distance in time indeed Salsa20 - Lorenz just has about 56-bit keys where these modern ciphers have more and are better designed. Attacking this mechanically was impractical, and that's why a computer like Colossus was needed.

As a result it really isn't fair to compare 100 years ago. If we look back 50 years instead the difference is stark.

Not insignificant portions of the rest of the world's co2 is devoted to supporting the US's consumption. Whether through shipments, production of goods, or disposal of waste we offshore a huge amount of our carbon emissions.
Hmm. Say, the US, Canada, and western Europe, on a scatterplot that shows unemployment rate vs union membership rate. Anybody got that data somewhere?

Best I could find: Union rates: France 8.8%, Germany 16.5%, UK 23.4%, US 10.1%. Unemployment: France 8.9%, Germany 3.3%, UK 3.8%, US 3.5%. I must admit, that doesn't look much like correlation.

Fine. And I think I (and 1 or 2 other replies to your comment) have also addressed that a homeless shelter is not sufficient to put someone on a stable path to return to being a "productive member of society" (all hail capitalism, for productivity is the goal of life).

Or what do you want me to address in regards to this sentence? That you're not that heartless, because hey, the homeless in your world won't freeze to death, they can go to the shelter. Despite the fact that you think actually helping them long term by offering them the apartment (which the article says is cheaper than taking care of them as they remain homeless) and a path to normal life, that's just too much, and unfair?
Yep, in 2017 the US became the largest exporter of crude oil, surpassing Saudi Arabia because of fracking.

Fun challenge.

As a product it could be an independent video verification service.

On-demand: A client wants to release a video and make sure that it’s trusted. They contact the company first, some process is done to make sure that they represent who they say they represent, and the content is hashed and added to the blockchain prior to release.

Ongoing: when a client uploaded a video to the web, the system would automatically grab it, generate the hash, and add it to the blockchain along with the metadata of where it was found and who the client was.

For large clients, it could even include video cold storage.

For marketing/promotion, the company could automatically process public media from well-established social media feeds.
There are definitely preference changes over time. Another factor is how quickly the internet and browsers change... Even if your preferences remained the same, your needs will inevitably change too. It's wild to think of how much the internet and browsers have changed in the last 20 years.

Yet they still have the same basic back, forward, refresh, address bar, and bookmark components. I wonder if that'll ever change. Address bars have certainly come a long way.

I agree with the view that we'll see a rapid change when new renewables are cheaper than continued operation of existing fossil fuel plants. However, where is that threshold? We're seeing solar and wind with LCoE as low as $0.03/kWh. How much further do we have to go?
iron-dome shoots down bottle rockets comparatively speaking (i'm being hyperbolic). these missiles were ballistic missiles which have high arches. therefore they're hard to track (picture the difference between catching a fly ball and a line drive) and they have enormous kinetic energy coming down (tough to divert).

I don't particularly remember feeling romantic about processor naming schemes; I do remember certain processors for being workhorses. However, I would agree that today, one needs to acquire an informed view to discern processor design and performance, variously across different architectures and manufacturers, over a period of time.

National self-determination movements go back far before the 1930s and indeed that’s (one of the primary reasons) why the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires started to break up in the late 19th century. WW1 and its aftermath were just the final steps.

I dont think Iran wanted to kill any Americans. They knew that this strike helped them save face. Killing soldiers would have risked an escalation. The US also did not try to stop the missiles to allow the slap in in the face to happen. The US wanted to let them save face.
As far as full military, sure. But their rudimentary guided srbm's are not the best by any measure. Their best still use infrared or standard gps for guidance. That is early 90s tech by american standards.

You got downvoted but someone from Denmark told me something similar about their country.
Yes, it's incorrect. The long-term cost of nuclear is about the same as coal. That's why we're seeing nuclear plants closing years ahead of schedule, just like coal. Gas, onshore wind, and the latest solar all cost about half as much.

This comment will undoubtedly trigger rebuttals about fusion, thorium, and other technologies that do not actually exist at production scale and will not exist for at least another decade. Solar and wind (and for better or worse, fracked gas) are here NOW.

One interesting fact about Finland that I learned from "The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner" by Daniel Ellsberg is that in the event of a "general war" the US attack on the Soviet Union was expected to completely destroy Finland and kill at least 100 million in Western Europe.

>That's, like, just your opinion. For a lot of people it competes just fine.

Until it doesn't. A payment network is graded on how it handles disputes, not regular transactions. Bitcoin can't do refunds or chargebacks, making it rife for fraud.

Sure, you can implement escrow, but then it's no longer competitive like GP said.
> But when you consider the methane leaks from wellheads and pipelines and facilities it is roughly as bad as coal for climate.

This makes intuitive sense. But do you have a source for how that calculation was determined. My understanding is that the impact of methane viz-a-viz carbon is highly sensitive to the time frame that you're considering. Methane is highly potent in terms of warning but quickly breaks down in the atmosphere.

He's definitely pro-coal, the energy industry isn't pro-coal or anti-coal, they are pro-profits. Coal just isn't cost effective anymore so industry is building out natural gas instead of coal.
PTP can be useful for packet capture, since that lets you associate a high-precision timestap to each packet that you receive. Dedicated capture cards typically have some combination of PTP, IRIG, and PPS inputs.

I agree that it doesn't make sense at all for the US to trade breathing air for one time energy use, but in the abstract, trading breathing air for cheap energy in order to lift people out of poverty is far from absurd, it's an actual, difficult trade off that should be thought about carefully. A lot of people still live in homes constantly filled with wood smoke, for whom an electric coal-powered cooking stove would drastically improve their air quality.

Naturally coal is still terrible for the environment, but ours is a position of great privilege, to have clean air feel so much more important than the source of our energy.
There's a split between class and struct. Classes are reference types and have more 'features', and structs are a lot like C structs - you have complete control over their layout and allocation.

There's future plans to add more high-perf sugars like automating some SoA and AoSoA layouts, but you can do all that manually right now.

It seems like most things taught as note-taking methods are actually study methods. Obviously, the hope is to combine the two and automatically create a study tool, but I think that's usually a mistake.

In practice, the combination seems both difficult and ineffective. Most lectures are not perfectly clear and sequential - they have mistakes, backtracking, and questions. And much lecture content is not linear, especially in the sciences, so you get diagrams that don't naturally break into "read cue, reveal content". Trying to force the lecture into the note format distracts from comprehension, and produces notes that are good for retention but not for learning content you didn't understand. Even if you get past all that, there's a fundamental problem with trying to organize your study material before you know what's on the next slide, and trying to organize questions after writing down the answers.

Anki or any other after-the-fact study format lets you cut past all that. You can take notes fluidly, aiming at low-distraction completeness. And then you can rearrange the content for retention, not lecture-compatibility. Charts and non-linear content can be presented smoothly. Best of all, you can actually study with cues and content in a many-to-many relationship, linking dense info like a ternary diagram to many different prompts.
The point is to generate clicks and ad revenue. Listicles like this are great for clicks. Even better if they make unconventional / controversial choices.

Ask HN: How can I change my career trajectory as a PM?
Using a throwaway account here because my normal HN account uses my real name.

TL;DR: I want to upgrade my career trajectory as a product person from the ho-hum conservative company to a faster pace organization with smart people. How can I demonstrate my ambition as a job seeker?

I have about 6 years of experience in product roles, 4 years as a product owner and 2 as a product manager. My roles have been in companies that use technology extensively but don’t identify as “tech companies.” For instance, my first three years as a PO were at a major financial firm working on banking integrations and my most recent 3 years have been at a publishing company working on SaaS products that deliver the publisher’s content.

At the same time, I've launched a side project and made a couple of real B2B sales, which has been very rewarding, too. I am a self-taught programmer. I want to keep growing this side business.

I consider myself a top contributor and leader and I want to move into a more challenging product management role at a tech company because I'm frustrated by colleagues and executives that aren't very ambitious or technically skilled.

But I don't know how to switch into a PM role at a more aspirational company. The job applications are all about "how to do product" in the VC/SV sense of the discipline, which we distinctly don't do at my current company.

How can I demonstrate to potential employers that I'm the "right caliber" of PM to make this jump and get my career onto a higher trajectory?

I live in the Raleigh, NC area and cannot relocate.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

To qualify your statement I'll claim that nuclear is the only low-carbon energy source we know that can run 24/7 in a wide variety of locations. Hydro can run all night too, but is geographically limited.

This matters because filling in gaps of intermittency requires the production and maintenance of "nonproductive" equipment (like batteries) which takes energy to make, install, maintain, recycle at a scale that may challenge the energy return on investment in many renewable situations.

Iron Dome doesn't work against ballistic missiles. It's designed for much smaller, much shorter range projectiles.

One of the difficulties in ballistic missile defense is actually destroying the warhead. Because it is ballistic, hitting the missile and destroying the body during the terminal phase isn't good enough. The structure is essentially dead weight at that point; the warhead is still on track (roughly) to its target. That's why current ABM systems focus on boost-phase interception, because then a body hit completely throws off the missile trajectory.

When you account for construction and decommisioning, a modern combined cycle gas plant emits only a very tiny bit more co2 than a modern nuke plant per MW generated (ignoring the paper designs that haven't actually been built yet). And it does this at significantly less cost and time to first power.

The time for nuclear was 30 years ago, now it's too little far too late.
