It’s more important to subsidize new technologies. Now that solar panels have a foothold, the economic case has gotten dramatically stronger because they’re cheaper. Even if electric bills change, I thinks uptake would continue.

How about every single company? The better ones give 10% or 20% bonus annually, so really easy to get there, even while unaware of it.

I worked in startups. I've seen first hands employees being abused and leaving in drove after 1-2 years to get significantly more, literally anywhere else. Name any company in London, probably have some ex colleagues there.

That being said, I am talking about developers who can handle a HackerRank test and a coding interview on the whiteboard. It's not a high bar by any means but it is something.
It also makes the Kessel run in 1.21 JiggaParsecs.

To be clear -- and I see maybe my post wasn't -- I think many Warhammer* players are too trigger-happy about labeling other players "WAAC" simply because they don't follow the unwritten rules of what they consider "sportsmanlike" behavior. In the extreme case, they'll call WAAC anyone who plays to win using the actual written rules instead of playing thematically rich but underperforming armies or strategies, which they consider The Right Way To Play (but which is not what the actual rules dictate). That is, they are playing an arbitrarily different game where the objective is not to win, and dislike people who play to win.

* I say Warhammer but I mean Warhammer, Age of Sigmar, Warhammer 40K and the whole family of games.
That is EXACTLY what yahoo turned into!
You don't actually remove the entry, you just mark it as deleted.

Eventually if too many things are deleted you repack the array. Still amortized O(1). (No different than a hash table in general, which will need to recopy the underlying array when it grows.)
Yeah I agree. I wasn’t suggesting that it is or should be illegal and banned. I’m just saying that the economics for that business are so different than every other creative and performing art that it really distorts what non-adult content creators can expect to make from their patrons.
Please try to be charitable online and consider not engaging if you can't bring yourself to. Nobody can give 100% of the context needed to satisfy everyone that might be reading it. We all seem to want everybody to read our own contributions charitably but don't want to give others the same benefit. Makes interaction not fun.
Wow. The page source is gold.

No kidding. Firefox's inspector tool just crashed (went white and unresponsive) while I was making a list of the worst offenses:

- h2, h4, h5 used interchangeably

- embedded wav file loading an image

- loading all JavaScript just below body tag
I gave up giving anything other than 5 because if I do that, I get hounded for an explanation. I know they think this "proves" their dedication to excellence!!1!, but it mostly proves that the ratings are essentially bullshit.
The often cited reason is that young people are easier to manipulate and exploit (overtime, passion, kool-aid about the company "mission" etc.), or more charitably phrased are more "adaptable" and less set in their ways.
They have fewer responsibilities, no family etc. They are more idealistic and don't have the same cynical/sour/realist/seeing-through-the-bullshit outlook that older people have.
I bought a System76 workstation last year. Everything about it is great except for one big thing that makes me hate using it: the air cooling is terrible and loud.

My room sounds like a wind tunnel even at idle. The response at the time was to futz around with fan controller firmware and I never got anywhere.

I don't understand why they don't move to liquid cooling.
I have built a lot of desktops over the years. I've run into lots of strange issues. One machine would bsod like once a week and I never worked out why. Once a video card was somehow not compatible with the system despite being fine on paper.
It's just an issue of how you value time. I have no time for those sort of way issues these days. When a hard dusk fails I want to call a vendor and have them show up with a part, not screw around with some return to base arrangement.
I emailed about this but since it seems there may be a NIST employee reading: the "your device clock" does not respect the 24 hour clock display option.
For us all toys from birthday go in a cupboard and we take out only one toy each month and they have to take out one toy for thrift store/NGO/younger relatives.
That doesn’t make sense. The person on the phone you most likely know where they live. If you are on an 800 number how do you contact the correct authorities? A public account on tiktok can’t tell you who to call... unless it has a video of ghostbusters, but that won’t help.
Why does time.gov need analytics? None of the usual reasons businesses cite as requiring them are valid here.
Whenever people make a comment about references like that, or with sports teams, it makes me think:

- If it was common to make references like that in Germany to Jewish institutions, groups, or tribes, ambiguously "honoring" them, would that be a bad thing? Would it be gloating over victimizing them, or commemorating their bravery?

- Given that (my impression is) they don't, what does the cultural difference really signify? Are Germans entitled to feel superior for it?

Like, I can imagine a world where there were sports teams called the "Maccabees" or the "Ghetto Fighters". I think that German cars do make reference to groups in ways that surely someone could find offensive, like the VW Touareg. Is this better/worse/as bad as using "Cherokee" as a name?
just a data point: i moved to the USA in the late 90s, H-1B. flew into Nashville because it was the nearest intl entry point to Little Rock, AR, my destination at the time. i flew in with a very large suitcase, a large bag and a pretty expensive mountain bike. among the two bags were wrapped gifts for the family who would be putting me up. Nashville i believe was a fairly new international point of entry back then. the INS (at the time) gave me a hell of a welcome. the H-1B was questioned. i was taken aside and left in a small room for many hours. when they eventually released me, it had been about five fours and my mountain bike was almost completely dismantled. the forks were out of the front tube, all wheels were off. they said they had to check the frame for drugs. all my wrapped gifts were ripped open. i had to repack everything in a drafty arrivals hall after being held for (as i could discern) absolutely no reason, a fresh grad with a valid visa heading off to work and pay taxes in booming late 90s America. that was my welcome to the USA. honestly. each welcome since hasn’t been much better. i say this even knowing i am a very lucky white guy. i can’t imagine how much worse it is for anyone who isn’t white these days. YMMV.
Avalanche is specifically known for it's anti emulation code.

Previously they've had to deal with a piece of code that is designed only to work with the gamecube's L2 cache, and crashes emulators that don't emulate the cache layers close enough. Which emulators rarely do as it's prohibitively expensive; you're looking at somewhere between an order of magnitude and two lower perf. This code doesn't do anything in the good case, and doesn't have any reason to exist except to be an anti-emulation check.
Thanks to non-separation of head of state and head of government, a protest against unethical behavior by the president can be conveniently claimed to be insubordination when it suits him. Examples: Yovanovitch, Vindman.

Gotta love the rationalization too. “Oh we allowed your data to be sold on the public market so we’ll just get it there”
Every site on tripod could probably be stored on a single micro sd card
Excite loads for me, then immediately disappears. There is a JS error in the console: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: t.apply is not a function
How difficult would it be to flesh out this rough spot? For others, it seems like a FreeBSD dev might not at all be able to get ac support for hardware with the drivers as locked down as they are. But if I knew the problem was tractable I might try my hand at it someday. Could be a good resume driven project.
There is also a Navajo enclave within that Hopi reservation/enclave: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-May/023665.html

We should start a rating boycott where we rate highest for all ratings.
The accountability of government to the people would be the primary reason, the idea being to show the value for the money you're being taxed.

But to answer your specific question, regardless of whether it's needed or not, it's mandatory. https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/omb/me... requirement #2
> Star Wars isn't worth billions because of the movies, it's worth billions because of the branded products.

Counterpoint: Scarcity of baby Yoda merch. The show purposefully withheld information about the character from marketing departments for fear of spoiling the story. Star Wars wants to make tons of money, sure. But it's not why they're huge.
Gasoline is taxed in most places. How do you know gas taxes don't internalize the costs?

FreeBSD vm for everything within a Linux host for hardware support.
TBF I wouldn't use a product I knew was hosted at Rackspace. Their entire security posture falls apart once you realize it's easy to circumvent by calling their support line and talking your way past one minimum wage call center employee.
The game of the goose sounds a lot like Candy Land.

> A race governed purely by chance, the competition involves “not the slightest element of skill or true player interaction towards the winning of stakes

This seems to describe the gameplay of candy land: literally no way to make your self lose any more than you already are. You are simply at the whim of where the next card you draw tells you to go.
Was the bedside clock set correctly or was intelligent enough for you to make it on time for the tour? It’s not clear to me from your story what happened with the tour.
I tried the search which I used a few weeks ago when someone here claimed that DDG was pretty good. Google found what I wanted above the fold. DDG found it at hit #87 or so (click “next” 7 times). Lycos didn’t find it in the first 100 at least.

I used to like Lycos but there’s a reason everyone migrated to Google.
Regarding sources, I came across this article in the Sinocism newsletter from Bill Bishop. I only subscribe to the free version, but during the coronavirus crisis he's been making the full version free. It's a pretty broad survey of both Chinese and English language sources, usually with an economic and political focus. It's at sinocism.com.
Would this process also be useful for filtering polluted water?

Several pollutants I have in mind are VOCs and fluorine compounds.

Hopefully there is someone here that is qualified to answer this question.
Don't forget the venerable <blink> tag and the obligatory "Under Construction" GIF.
The typical HNer passed 95 in all those things you listed?

I think you're vastly overestimating the readers of this forum. Just by the numbers, you can't have so many people who aced through top-5% in Ivy League schools and darted through the corporate ladder in a top SV company. Not to mention that not everyone is American here.
For hiring discrimination? I mean, that’s kind of a hard question to answer.

Personally I think there are lots of people who have an idea in their head (not always consciously) of what a hotshot developer looks like. And it’s not the old guy. And I think this manifests as concerns about “culture fit” or being overqualified or other vague objections.

We ALL have biases. It’s on hiring managers and HR departments and all of us to actively work to minimize their effects. This is hard to do and, unfortunately, some people don’t care to try.

But certainly there are other reasons too. Bias in hiring is a tough problem.
You understand that proving causation is extremely difficult in a complex system where you can't run controlled experiments? You essentially have to have a correct model. But how do you verify your model is correct? You still can't run experiments to test it because there's only one Earth. You can use historical data but if your model was designed using that data, then you can't use it again to test it. This is one of the hardest types of task in science. Not "unimpeachable" by any means.
Maybe the varying results can be explained by your searches being routed to different servers, with each server having slightly different indexes or algorithms?

Do you see the same issue when disconnected from the web?
Well it does apply to retail software; oem means you have to resell the hardware too. Everything else is subscription which is the real meaning of licensed.
Whoever developed the javascript could benefit from a formatter. Also, synchronous ajax calls?
Think a little deeper about that: the government doesn’t need to sell things but that doesn’t mean that the people building sites don’t care about knowing who’s visiting, what they do, or how the site performed. For example, when do you stop spending more money supporting old browsers?

There’s even an open source project around the public analytics.usa.gov dashboard:

With a giant Texas flag down the side. I wonder why Texas.
I think there is a bigger issue with the idea that, just because they don't remote-brick your cars today just because they feel like it doesn't mean they can't or won't someday in the future.

I 100% won't buy a Tesla because you have no way of knowing what you own, and might find out that you own nothing at all someday of you make Elon unhappy.
Snowflake does something similar since it's a metadata store and cloning is mainly copying the metadata. It does scale with data volumes though so it doesn't seem like it's be as quick.

Really great idea here!
hmm i got a blocked (3rd party) url from nod32.
Exactly. That's also what deliberate practice means in the ten thousand hours rule. You keep push yourself or getting pushed and you improve really quickly. People like Carmack can push themselves rigorously so they are the first tier. After all it's bery expensive to hire someone to keep pushing you.
That whole Next% feels like they named it due to a email software glitch that didn't replace a variable name. lol
The map actually simplifies the situation significantly. There are two Hopi enclaves within the Navajo Nation, the larger of which has a Navajo enclave nested within it.

Because of all this, you can travel less than 100 miles in a straight line and have to change your clock six times...
Indiana had some differences like this before April 2006, with most counties following DST and some not following it. Now it’s just most counties using Eastern Time and some using Central Time, with all of them following DST changes.
I'm aware of the terms "bog" and "bog-standard", but not being from the UK, I'm not sure what is so standard about bogs.
Doesn't it maintain it's own index on certain terms based on user actions/feedback that changes the bing results resulted? I thought there was an improvement feedback loop.
> LEGAL obligation to act in the interests of the Corporation

This is a myth. The only time this applies is if there's an actual written contract of fiduciary duty. Running a company or having investors does not magically enact some federal law.
Firefox adds about 100 milliseconds.
Interesting.

AllTheWeb === Yahoo now.

The few test queries I tried on Lycos seem to be identical (almost down to the ordering) when I tried them on looksmart.com.
I actually turn off all the annoying web targets, I’m mainly interested in launching apps (which frankly should simplify the problem and make reliable results more likely).
Even though this is true, Caixin has been allowed some leniency, especially in reporting this outbreak. Some reports have been very distinct from the official reporting, although it appears that some articles have also been retracted.

In times of a crisis like this, some signal will get through.
For the alt right, that sounds oddly selective? Do you have a source?
Same. I wonder how well they worked; I've never seen one made.

It surely would require fairly specific conditions to work well; a wet ground and low humidity.
Mobile safari says can’t connect to the server. Is it down or does it not have a web interface ?
I also use O&O shutup. It's portable and needs to be run only once and perhaps after a windows update. Lately, the windows updates doesn't seem to alter the changes I made using shutup.

It's a convenience tool. If you look up everything you can do it all manually.
We'll have to see the numbers. I bet the (US) olympic trials feb 29 will be interesting.
A functional and easy to read government website?

Well that’s not something you see every day.
Lessons learned from guile, the ancient and spry
Yeah totally. I don't mean that as a slight against the kids, but they do have poor executive decision making skills and they are not amazing at learning. As did I in high school and middle school. Brain development plays a factor. The commonly cited fact is that executive function is still developing in teenagers and young adults. I'd also argue that teenagers are often sleep deprived or facing other challenges that make school hard to prioritize (dating, drama in social life, change in familial dynamics, etc).

I think schools and many adults have it completely backwards when they see that kids struggle to get their homework done, get enough sleep, handle extracurriculars and have some sort of social life, and blame the kids' lack of organization or lack of proper education. Blaming a teenager's lack of organization is like blaming a toddler struggling to walk. They're still developing the necessary coping mechanisms and discipline to handle adult life.
Wouldn't any shoe, and especially any running show of the last 40 years, return some level of energy? I mean, the entire concept of a shoe is a mechanical enhancement over running barefoot. Any equipment at all is a defacto enhancement above and beyond a "pure" non-mechanically aided base line. So if you accept and level of equipment, then it all becomes about where to draw the line, which type of enhancements are sanctioned, which not, etc.
> Why not go straight to securitizing senior tranches of your recurring revenue, and moving it off your balance sheet? You could imagine a high-quality startup financing its growth this way: raise your initial equity to establish your product, go-to-market, and first big cohort of users. Once you understand that first cohort of users really well, securitize the first X% of the cash flows they generate, get em off your balance sheet, and then use that money to create your next cohort of users.

... that will be a great customer experience. "Thanks for being one of our first customers! we've sold you on: good luck with the anonymous financial instrument now contracted to serve you."

Great article.
I solved the camera problem by buying a good dslr. Sure I don't always have it on me and then have to do with my substandard phone but the pictures I do take with the dslr are the ones worth printing and will be the ones I'll still look at when I'm old. The phone camera is more for updates and showing friends and family funny but disposable stuff.

It's a compromise i'd prefer not to be forced to make but it's the best solution atm imo.
I’d need a source for this, because this seems incorrect. Most of the captured carbon would enter a food cycle, and while some of it might become methane, much more of it would be constantly cycled in the ecosystem, and some would end up as calcium carbonate.
That happened to me too.
I would be sad to be the worker subject to that shift planning
You can't notice it personally without doing science. You can't just remember how hot it was when you were a kid and know that global warming is happening. That's what the GP was talking about and what I'm responding to. Obviously scientists can measure it with suitable instruments and techniques but casual observers can't. I think you're arguing with a strawman by bringing floods and fires into it. But even if you want to go there, experiencing one flood in your life doesn't tell you that the frequency is higher than it was 30 years ago. There just isn't enough data or valid statistics in one person's personal experience and feelings.
Spotlight search is 100% local unless "Spotlight Suggestions" is enabled. Even then, the search works exactly the same but is augmented with online content (like sports scores, weather, suggested websites, etc) where relevant.
What scarcity? They may have played that close to the vest to not spoil the story, but just look at Disney run with it now[1]. It's hard to imagine a scenario where they weren't fully aware of the demand for merch that the character would generate.

We made it :)

It was an old school alarm clock, so you could expect it to at least be consistent, which is all that mattered. I don't remember if we set it ahead, or left it where it was, but we knew where it would be tour time. Whereas we could not trust our phones to not do something funky. Or to do something funky and undesired.
Apparently Software Tool & Die is still active, if you want to flash back even earlier than that (my first email account was on ‘The World’).
Mixing cultures makes everyone nicer.
Lol I work at ms and got this wrong, oops! I think this is a recent occurrence though right?
uh...yeah... esr is basically Alex Jones if he were half as articulate and twice as ugly.

I read the post because I’m an idiot with too much time to kill. But basically it makes many extraordinary claims, in complete contradiction to reputable sources such as the CDC, supported by likely doctored “evidence” from internet trolls.

Later in the comments see him expertly proclaim that a video on YouTube is evidence of “chorea” which looks nothing like chorea. What a dipshit.
Ah, what a lovely mid-2000s time capsule
I think he pretty much fucked that up to...
Doing all those things is possible and there are clear plans to do them, at significant economical costs but nothing that our economies can't handle. This is the technological solution: transition out of oil and carbon in general! We already have I'd say 90% of the technological capability to achieve it and sufficient economic resources (in fact it's happening even without subsidies in many places).

Europe is already on IPCC 2C targets, and it's clearly not starving, its economy is fine. What they need to do is show the rest of the world how we're toast without action.

Just look at the 3 or 4C targets -- that themselves largely predict quick oil phase out! Civilization runs real risk of collapse before the end of the century in those targets, and 3 decades from now it'll already start looking bleak. Imagine if we do nothing.

I guess the most dark humor thing is (most) people imagining their kids living in happy wonderlands, making retirement plans, etc. while the world is literally going to hell.

It really feels like a failure of science, technology and engineering community. We're failing at communicating. Because I owe to and admire so much of our scientific history and people, I'll gladly campaign for climate action to my last day (or at least until we're at a somewhat sane track).
Probably depends on the vapor pressureS of the VOCs; if less than water, then no.
Thanks. It would be nice to have similarity methods that are not dependent on spatial locality to detect DDoS like attacks.
That doesn't seem to be the case; the only reason they use r.duckduckgo.com is for redirecting without the REFERER according to their docs, so there doesn't seem to be a way for them to do that.
