I don't consider a phone that hasn't received security updates in 2.5 years "perfectly fine". I'm all for extending the life of older devices, don't misunderstand me, but that requires software updates. My phone is probably much older than those of most HN'ers (been using it for over 3 years now) and I used my last laptop for 7 years. But I don't run ancient unsupported software on either.

What I'm saying is "you shouldn't run Android 4.x in 2020", not "you shouldn't use a device from 2014 in 2020". Whether it be through better manufacturer support or a custom ROM like LineageOS, these ancient versions need to die.
They do have chemical gradients, but the mechanisms is not even comparable to simple backpropagation...
Author, I'm a sucker for spelling. (edit: removed).

Good blog post. When I was programming Java, I also used Checkstyle. It's a long-running and reliable project.
We have similar issues in Berlin with wildly exploited workers... the only thing that keeps it one step above here is that they are all bicycle driven, so fuel costs are not a factor.
I think it's cute.
Why the atmosphere? Deep ocean water is already super cold right? Plus water does a good job of absorbing heat.basically transfer the surface heat energy to deep waters,that way surface level glaciers are kept frozen?
Imagine they forecast their release "During the harvest" or "when the bushfires stop" or something. It's just weird.
If you cannot do it without filming public space, then you don't. Simple as that.

I think demand for fossil fuel free holdings is more of a risk reduction strategy greenwashed as something more.
There's plenty of database administration tools that do just that. I guess they could use work in the UX department to make it more user friendly though.

But beyond pure data access you'll want features like access rights (SQL servers will offer that to a point), validations, and data/context specific visualizations.
Surprised with the scenario of losing code for a binary that is still running. In which software domains is this common ?
As a user who's tested Firefox Preview and loved extension support in Firefox for Android: it's been good enough for me to have somewhat naturally transitioned to using it as my main browser. The built-in tracking protection blocks practically everything that I used uBlock Origin for (though I'd still appreciate the real thing coming), I haven't really experienced bugs, and it's really quite snappy.

There's certainly still a number of features missing (I'm personally eagerly awaiting the return of the home screen), but it's certainly not as dire as some here make it sound, and it's been progressing pretty rapidly.
And why do you believe the current non-intelligent ML is sufficient?

As it is, ML is running away rather fast from the integrator model by introducing explicit gating and nonlinearities in the neurons.

Yet it is still a toy compared to a nematode.
>The current benchmark for climate change problems is "were things different 10-15 years ago".

Only if one has their head in the sand. Historically higher temperatures year after year, massive loss of arctic ice, etc.

All of those things weren't "always changing", except if you go back to thousands to millions of years. And even then, they didn't get there with the same rate of change we have now.
The "to space" method has the smallest probability of backfiring in surprising ways. For instance, heating deep ocean waters could disrupt the local ecosystem down there, and we don't fully understand yet how the deep ocean is connected to everything else on an ecological level.
Akin to his adventure, black [0] for Python does one thing and does it very well: It formats my code. It's pretty, it's legible, it's consistent, it works; and you cannot customise it. Has been a great experience since the day I switched from autopep8.

Most people don't want a much slower processor. As soon as you have a pipeline the concepts of "now" and "next" become smeared out in time.
People here seem to "hope" that extension support will be implemented.

If my stable Firefox for Android gets updated into a browser without uBlock Origin I will immediately switch to some chromish alternative with adblocking. There's no reason for firefox for android once extension support is gone, featurewise.
I agree laws should be based on principles, but I do wonder where to draw the line. I've noticed that any system that is built up from axiomatic principles and reasoning usually ends up out of touch with reality as well. It's likely we need to have evidence feeding back into a principled-based system.

> Germany didn't even have a minimum wage until fairly recently

We don't really have a minimum wage in Austria either, but wages are regulated per industry. So employers are still required to pay certain wages, even though we don't have a general minimum wage.

And there's no such thing as including tips in the wage, tips are always extra.

(There is one major loophole, of course, which is hiring people as contractors, but that requires convincing the authorities that your employees are not really employees)
I don't think most of them were in a situation to say "I want to work for free" and then chose DoorDash (per definition a for-profit job) over volunteering for charity (per definition a non-profit job). I could imagine they found the job, it generated some cash flow and only they later realized that the math doesn't work out.
Something other than the atmosphere and surface ocean water? A mile or so under the earth crust, or 5k meter+ under ocean water heat release/transfer
60 mi range is pretty good for lots of use cases.
The minimum wage ensures that those 'poor people' can afford to eat.

The countries you mention don't need minimum wages set because they have other mechanisms or even just social norms that ensure nobody is having to work 8 jobs to try to feed their kids.
Change the simulation unit from neurons to dendrites. Miss different kinds of gate and nonlinear activations.

Which is what's being done lately, but then we know next to nothing about the topology of real neural nets nor electrochemical communication inside a neuron.
i guess that was wishful thinking on my part. Although it's not clear what 'security projects' will be allowed.

It was that way from very beginning. It's Artificial _Intelligence_ , not an Artificial Human.
Even if the grid was completely overhauled into some kind of futuristic design, our current understanding does not allow it to work with a majority of the power coming from distributed tiny producers (like rooftop solar) or majority renewable configurations. The existing examples you see of states or countries that claim to be mostly renewable, only work having the entire grid backed up with non-renewables for when shit hits the fan.

We still don't have answers for relay desensitization and ferroresonance in particular.

The bigger renewable producing projects pose less problems, but still don't replace baseload in the grid or serve to stabilise the grid. They can only follow the grid within a given tolerance.

The worst part is that the powers that be are likely to ignore all of the above and roll out anyway. The grid will have already been syncronized by the things they turn off and things will for the most part roll along fine (service disruptions just becoming a part of daily life)... until something happens that requires a grid restart (think along the lines of a cyber attack or a natural disaster). That's when shit really hits the fans. Restarting the grid is a pretty manual and time consuming process, and renewables simply add too many variables to the equation to make this process possible. They would need to split the grid into lots of micro-grids, but then they would need interconnectors between each micro-grid that will be constantly tripping and incur substantial maintenance costs in normal operation.

I am aware that you are not the original commenter I was responding to, but I can't help noticing that you did not respond to the main thrust of my previous comment though, about metallurgical coal.

Thanks for the comment. I am a sucker for spelling indeed. I usually spend about 1h after publishing each post, to fix typos (I never notice them until it's published, no matter how hard I try).
Reddit, Facebook, Amazon, Youtube and Googles search ads aren't affected by the built-in tracking protection at all.

That alone are half the pages most non-tech people (like my parents) usually browse.
True, the situation at the surface seems much more dire and urgent though.

I don't think the system will fix itself by banning tips. That doesn't help anyone.

What society should do is require a decent base pay (regardless of tip). That way I know that my server can make ends meet if I tip them or not, and tipping them becomes a curtesy, not a necessity.

Thanks for the detailed response, 'archaic' is not necessarily the best word to describe the problems with it, and hanzi seems to be more straightforward than Kanji

But dealing with a huge alphabet is more complicated than one with (much) fewer characters as the Latin, Arabic and Korean ones.

The English spelling problem is annoying, but most languages don't have such a disparity in writing (which, for the most part, is not that big).
Brilliant! For example, something like 180.7 could then be understood by the kernel to "userland wants to call 70% open and 30% unlink" in one go!
I find when I write, the free http://hemingwayapp.com website is really useful for fixing basic spelling, punctuation and grammar errors.
It's not up to customers if the laws in the US are changed to stop the (IMHO abusive) practice of paying below minimum and then expecting tips to make up the shortfall.

That is true, and I considered this approach. But DB procedures cannot link to each other and the target users are different - giving some people a DB procedure is much harder than giving them a web interface.
I’m sure most people would prefer more money. But if service workers were paid “normal” wages people wouldn’t feel guilted into tipping.

Minimum wage in NYC is $15/hour and $10/hour for food service workers. Some restaurants have started paying their servers more and not allowing tips. But are the employees actually earning more? I doubt it.

Why do I keep expecting Canada to be better than it actually is?

Although, a quick web search shows that at least in Quebec, minimum wage for tipped workers is 1.9$ lower vs. not applying at all in many US states - better, but still sad.
1. Navigation: subjective so gonna let that slide.
2. Downright bullshit. You are starting to whine.
3. Subjective but far from something that makes the IDE a "piece of crap"
4. You are starying to sound like you are in the wrong industry.
5. No. Change the .csproj and drop the AssemblyInfo.cs usually work for something that can actually be migrated. If you expect any project that targeted Windows to just migrate to cross platform using a NNF you are an idiot.

At the very least you could have given an example of an IDE that you consider is better. You were just talking out of your arse.
Hello Jonathan,
A security warning. The signup/login page lacks SSL (https). All passwords will be sent in clear text and can be easily stolen.
In the rest of life, we don't consider security flaws impose an obligation to replace something. For instance, your average home's door - fundamentally a security device! - is flimsy and does not offer much resistance. More durable doors are available, but not normally considered worth it.

Considering how many Android 4 devices are still in use today, Google and the manufacturers are behaving incredibly unreasonably in not supporting them. Nothing about Android 4 means it should die, any more in 2020 than in 2014. Google could suddenly grow a conscience and stop being evil tomorrow if they wanted; the fact that they have not updated in in several years does not mean they cannot start updating it again. It is not incumbent on the owners of any phone to discard it.

Please do not confuse the intrinsic properties of a product with business decisions. Corporations need to be responsible for the products that they release. Google is no less of a polluter than the company that releases waste chemicals into the local river.

(LineageOS is no be all end all. Many devices are not supported at all, and volunteers have no obligation to clean up for lazy private companies with no sense of obligation to the communities that make them their profits.)

I find it strange that senior developers would laugh at the idea of using quality control gates in a CI/CD pipeline. I know a lot of people don't bother with these things, but most seniors I've worked with would at least aspire to (or say they aspire to) using such techniques.

But I guess that's the difference between a senior who knows lots of syntax, and a senior that that knows how to deliver quality.

Starlight, not stars. Starlight on a moonless night, as in general illumination. So, the satellites would help the critters you refer to.

The only hazards these satellites will provide are.
1. more space junk (hazard to critters IN space)
2. more earth junk an pollution when the fall back down.

As for astronomy, we need to move that outside the atmosphere anyhow.

If we have this level of surplus energy, we should be using it to first replace all fossil fuel consumption and then secondarily start drawing CO2 down from the air. We can't out-cool the sun.
Cool! I always wished somebody would create something like BrainWorkshop but not boring. In fact I myself implemented the BrainWorkshop-like 2n-back game (and it helped me a lot) immediately as the paper behind it got published, when no publicly available implementations existed but I'm not good at graphics and game design so a non-boring version was not something I could make.
Afaik The Silmarillion was more of a backstory, not really fit for publishing at Tolkiens death. Christopher was the one I believe who collected all the materials into its current form. Don’t forget Tolkien himself was a master linguist!
Conversely my uncle could not walk because a disc was bulging against his leg nerve (sciatica?). He tried no surgical methods for a year of hell because everyone had read articles like this. Then he had his back operated on and suddenly can work his leg again like a miracle. So in his case he should have had more surgical intervention. It's really tricky.
Same. Like with Nikola Tesla or H. P. Lovecraft, who died more or less impoverished and were nowhere as cherished in their lifetime as they are now, and many others like them who only received posthumous appreciated, it's like they were cheated by fate. It makes me angry at how the world treated people like them.

Underground is generally warmer than the surface, and warming the ocean causes problems of its own. But really the problem is that the amount of heat you'd have to move is absolutely massive - the best we can do is alter the atmosphere to increase the amount of heat radiated to space, because we can't out-cool the sun.
wow. setup and hold times have been demoted to 'demystification only' and not something that is part of the formal curriculum. when I helped teach this course in the 90's, it was a major section and if you could not answer basic questions about synchronous clock discipline, you could not get an A. It was as important as stack-based calling conventions.

I mean, I guess most 'computer science' folks today can have a fecund and profitable career and have never heard of these concepts, but... I hope some people still wonder, why do we have clock speeds, and what other alternatives might exist?
United States is somewhat bigger than France, which is why it somewhat works. Somewhat because the base load achievable by such balancing is rather small. And by adding more plants you make the crest factor in this estimate higher...

Sadly, I can't say the same of my experience with the Defy+. I found it quite disappointing. Small screen, bulky case (that was fragile and broke around the external screws), and not much more wear and water resistant than a regular phone.

I'm a bit torn on the latter idea, actually: as much as I would love it if Mozilla would give such a well-deserved middle finger to the advertising world for their bad behavior, I also think it would create a kind of relationship between gorhill and Mozilla that would result in an unhealthy power dynamic.

The claims Hansen made are contained in his research papers. So you'd have to cite them, though in most of the papers I've read they tend not quote absolute numbers.

In https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/2010/2010_Hansen_ha00510u.pd... paragraph 6:

"""
6] One consequence of working only with temperature change is that our analysis does not produce estimates of absolute temperature. For the sake of users who require anabsolute global mean temperature, we have estimated the 1951–1980 global mean surface air temperature as 14°C with uncertainty several tenths of a degree Celsius. That value was obtained by using a global climate model[Hansen et al., 2007] to fill in temperatures at grid points without observations, but it is consistent with results of Jones et al.[1999] based on observational data. The review paper of Jones et al.[1999] includes maps of absolute temperature as well as extensive background information on studies of both absolute temperature and surface temperature change.
"""

The 2007 paper is https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/2007/2007_Hansen_ha09210n.pd...

Jones' paper https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1029/1999...

Section 6 discusses the anomaly vs absolute temp.

https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/19595636.pdf Introduction gives a brief history and list of the historically calculated values.

So he was probably using the best value they had at the time. I don't know why any specific number was printed in the popular press at any given time though.

The 90's "pause" is still reflected in the data (depending on how you long you want to average over), then temps started increasing again.
