The wording of the current title is unnecessarily insulting. The point of the article is that Germans don't use electricity to heat their homes because the weird economics plus possibly some sunk costs favor natural gas or oil. Germans aren't sitting around in the cold winters wearing parkas and shaking their thrifty fists at the powers that be.
No, it wouldn't help.

The typical scenario is Comcast asking "startup X" for money to allow them to reach you.

You wouldn't have to pay more, nor would you necessarily notice: established sites would be exempt because customers expect them to work. But nobody will be missing a new company they have never heard of.

Since you will not (immediately) feel the impact, there will be no incentive for you to chose a different ISP.

Conversely, that startup doesn't get a choice: your ISP is the only route to get to you, and they have to pay or forfeit the chance to do business with you.

ISPs would be in a position to claim the vast majority of any internet-based business' profits. As a data-intensive startup, you would also be faced with the prospect of negotiating contracts with every single significant ISP. You'd get to make decisions such as "should we fire ten people, or go dark in Florida for the rest of the month?"
This is an excellent course. That's where I first learned about the "column picture" of matrix multiplication... and this after 10+ using linear algebra and teaching. Overall LA can be a complicated subject, but Strang does a good job at making it seem like common sense.

For more linear algebra goodness, check out the 3Blue1Brown playlist, which provides a lot of the important geometric intuition: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2x...

Another good book with visuals and manipulatives is http://immersivemath.com/ila/index.html

And this is a short tutorial that I wrote that summarizes some of the main ideas of LA in just four pages: https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/linear_algebra_in...
You can print this and enjoy with your weekend coffee tomorrow. For bonus points, you can also learn how to do LA using SymPy here https://github.com/minireference/sympytut_notebooks/blob/mas...
Thanks for that, my comment was:

Just as the commission has always held it was the responsibility and duty of all users of a particular part of the spectrum from intentionally or unintentionally interfering with any other legitimate users, the commission should make rulings that require that providers of Internet service (ISPs) shall not intentionally or unintentionally interfere with any legitimate use of the network bandwidth between the end user and the service provider communicating with that end user. Such policies of equal access for all legitimate uses has been a bedrock of FCC policy since the commission was established.

For people trying to fill out the form, use 17-108 as the proceeding you are commenting on.
Sorry, was only talking about the tax situation. In a progressive system each dollar is taxed at the rate of its bracket. For example (hypothetical), dollars 1-25,000 are taxed at 5%, 25,001-50,000 at 6%, 50,001-75,000 at 7%, etc. You can never gain by making less.

If you actually paid less in taxes on _every_ dollar by dropping a bracket, then you'd have been making more all along in a progressive system. Are you certain that was the case? Just curious.
(Totally unrelated, but I've added ">" to the start of your comment so it didn't get formatted as code and thus break the layout of the page. Not your fault - this is a bug of ours. Perhaps the most commonly complained about bug.)
I'm going to do that now and fuck what my manager thinks honestly.
Thanks for the feedback so far. I didn't even notice that the app had this many problems.

I'm embarrassed to show you an incomplete app, but anyway I think now I've fixed all the parts which received the feedback, Including proofreading the entire contents of the landing page.
Proprietary project management tools - slack, github issues, PRs, discussions, etc are terrible places to host OSS communications. Use open source tools.
It's very simple: unless you're using an E2E encrypted channel with a trusted person, don't say anything in a social platform that you wouldn't say in person to your friends, family and coworkers.

The internet is not private by default; it's public by default.
Being condescending doesn't help you win arguments, it just makes you look like an asshole. Rather than actually answer my question with data or a study you instead decided to use a high-school level "thought experiment" to try and explain economics. Not cool. I understand economics quite well. I know how inflation works and how money supplies work. I didn't ask for explanations of those things.

At this point, I seriously doubt you've even tried to see what the actual impacts of UBI would be before you decided it was a bad thing and decided to favor welfare. If you favor welfare because you think people should have to work, that's fine and it's an opinion I can respect. But please don't try and use garbage arguments to convince people your opinion is right. If you care to read some actual data, take a look at [1], in which a UBI equivalent in Mexico caused less than 1% inflation. As for your Kuwait example, I don't think you actually followed the long-term impact, in which inflation for non-food items was a non-issue after the initial spike [2] and continued to be a non-issue in the following year [3]. From the link:

"With a great deal of public spending coming on-stream, and the effects of the substantial “Amiri” grant of KD1000 ($3605) awarded to every Kuwaiti, inflationary pressure is a concern. However, inflation dropped to an 11-month low of 4.6% in July, the last month for which figures were available, and the rate is expected to average 4.7% for full-year 2011, according to international press reports using figures from Kuwait’s Central Statistics Office.

Food price inflation, at 9.7%, was worryingly high, but is likely to abate over the remainder of the year as international prices fall. Increases in housing costs – the biggest single component of Kuwait’s consumer price index (CPI) – are also cooling off, as much-needed new supply becomes available."

Yes, but it has its own crappy spyware installed.
Users nearly always post workarounds in the threads. You can find such a link in this thread. Admittedly it can be a pain to look for, once many comments have appeared.
Definitely a welcome addition, but it's funny that after all this time the solution was just to copy-paste the Issues tab and rename it. In fact in our public repos we have a "Discussion" label for such issues and it has worked pretty well.
Or since it's so easy for tall people to date offline, they choose OKCupid because it's even easier due to the asynchronous model and network effect. They get more out of the algorithms than shorter people since more people are attracted to them.
In addition to OP's reply, I guess it also keeps people from turning it into a long weekend if it's not a Monday or Friday.
Yep! We're going to try it out in a few interested communities, and if people like it, we'll make it available GitHub-wide. It's early, though, and we want a chance to learn what works and iterate on a smaller scale before introducing it to everyone.
As Wowfunhappy explained, it's actually a feature not a bug that your repost made it through. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. I'm trying not to have to post like this every time:

... but it's beginning to look like maybe we need to.
You are right of course.

However the OP said (in their original post): In short industrial civilization will be non-viable in the tropics by the 2050s and world wide by the 2100s.

I took it in that context. I'd also note the there are multiple causes of mass extinction of which climate change is one.
In terms of displaying content, asking questions is a very different thing to discussion. If you've ever had to trawl through forum threads trying to find answers, it is a nightmare. StackOverflow is much more heavily moderated and curated to keep the answers from being buried.

In general, you aren't going to be able to discuss something on SO, and people aren't going to find answers in discussion boards because they don't make it easy to find those answers.
Our comments aren’t conflicting. I was mostly saying that at some point the continued growth of the GDP means turning every aspect of human interaction into an economic interaction, where everything becomes commoditized.
Home cooked meals or housing my aging mother aren’t impactful on the GDP like supporting the restaurant and retirement home industries, but I’d say it’s a healthier way of life.
A sleepy town may not be booming but I’d prefer it to a high GDP output city.
> that doesn't hand over your data to a company to be monetized

Slack, Discord & Gitter don't monetize data either, so that's a pretty weak argument.

Somewhat related is the aquaculture company Natural Shrimp, Inc (SHMP) in Texas.

"That said, I suspect that whatever Huawei does will be just as bad (or worse?) for user privacy and control than what Google currently does."

Of course, from my experience—having removed both GApps and Huawei crapware from its phones in the past—you are absolutely correct. Not only is this time-consuming and difficult (as one has to root the phone) but also it's usually outside the capability (or desire) of most users. Even then, one has to assume it's not a complete solution but only an amelioration thereof (as we don't have access to the source code).

My rationale is that often one finds that solutions to problems are quite circuitous and things can actually get worse along the way before improving. Whether that's likely in this instance remains to be seen (it seems to me that taking any possible opportunity was better than none).
The prevalent advice here is don't invest in individual stocks, even though in general you have a ton of information on a public company from financials to track record of key players to good market and product info. With startups it's suddenly OK to invest often half of your potential money into a stock surrogate with none of the above. There are many reasons to join a startup striking it rich from equity is def not a good one.
No. Anki permanently modifies the ease value of the card. “Good” just grades it with no changes. You would have to hit “easy” or manually modify it.

This is why people who use Anki long term recommend not hitting the Easy button: it’s a permanent +15% modifier.

This algorithm -does- show you certain cards sooner or later but it does it in a nonintuitive way.

Cards marked “Hard” like this will end up being seen way too often. This picture (1) explains the problem.

VPN services, Tor and I2P do a pretty good job at blocking "molecular wakes". But even that will fail, as the devices that people use incorporate GC (and eventually, GC-MS) sensors.

As I am wont to say, privacy in meatspace is dead. Or at least, getting deader every day.

I don't want to make the same comment repeatedly, but anyone saying this aims at SO is fundamentally misunderstanding why SO is successful and what it offers.

SO is literally anti-discussion, the whole point is it is about questions and answers, not discussion, because finding answers to questions on forums was a nightmare. No one wants to read through a thread of context to maybe find an answer.

That isn't to say discussion isn't useful or valuable, it absolutely is, it is just a completely different thing. This is competing with Discourse, not SO.
I don’t know if we’re talking about the same Linpack test but I’m able to run it on my AMD TR 3970X without issues.
I thought that this was the case but I did some reading and I was very surprised at how little HVDC lines lose - roughly 3% per 1000km (a lot less than AC transmission).

The new Ultra high voltage lines in China and elsewhere are even more efficient.

This explains why the Chinese are able to keep their power generation capacity so far away from their main population centres.

The money comes from the money that would normally be kicked back to the pharmacy benefit manager[0] as a “rebate” from the pharmaceutical company. The retail prices are jacked up—at least in part—for the benefit of PBMs to extract money from the system[1]. My understanding is that GoodRX gets the negotiated “discount” price from a PBM like every other insurer and then makes a profit from the kickback.

The single-uop FMA instructions beg to differ. As well as ADC, SBB, CMOVcc, etc, since Broadwell: 1 uop, 3 inputs. LEA itself has consisted of 1 uop for a very long time...but the complex 3-input version gets sent to a different place than the simple one.

The PBLENDVB case is interesting: the VEX-encoded variant takes 2 uops in every uarch, but 1 uops (since Skylake) in the non-VEX encoded variant that takes XMM0 as a hardcoded input.

But it's not just a matter of wasting transistors and silicon. The ancient x86 modes are like old legacy code in a software package you have to maintain. They add complexity. Intel hasn't exactly been cranking out an endless series of bug-free chips lately. It might behoove them to make a line of chips which are pure x86-64.
Looks like it's a DDOS attack. I'm guessing the attackers figured out that there's a lot processing is required to generate a repo download (and thus using it as a L7 attack).

I'd say most of us probably are. I am suffering from chronic overwork at this point. I'm thinking of just quitting and taking 6 mos. off and maybe never going back to tech at all. Dow 30 company, total fucking mess.
Congrats on shipping!

I like how quickly GitHub is shipping new features now, compared to earlier: the mobile app, Actions, Sponsors, security scanning, etc.

That said, I was a little disappointed that Discussions is essentially identical to Issues :(.

While I can't pinpoint any specific issues I've had with Issues for discussions, I was hoping GitHub found, and found solutions for, pain points that users didn't know they had with Issues.
Why?

It seems to me the real thing open source projects ought to have is control over their data / autonomy - having some service control your forums and publish the code they use to run them doesn't seem like much of an advantage, if you can't apply patches to their system. For instance, while it helps Debian that their GitLab instance salsa.debian.org is open source, how does it help a non-Debian-affiliated project that happens to use that service?

So there are two separate things you could be interested in. One is, am I running my own service? Most people don't want to be 24/7 volunteer sysadmins, it turns out. (A few do, like the people who run salsa.debian.org: more power to them. A few open source projects can pay sysadmins, which also solves the problem.)

The other question is, can I get my project's data out of someone else's service if I want to migrate? It turns out that you can do that for many closed-source forums.

Quite ironic for you to place so much hope in Huawei to end Google monopoly. Huawei as an entity with ties to China government (someone who has one of the worst human rights and privacy track records in the world ) should deserve less trust and hope than Google. I don't know how you can think otherwise.
> but never sold anything because the amount of money they offer wasn't worth it to me.

Ok, so this is a serious problem, wont you agree? But is it an unavoidable one? Would it be possible to get something in-between, where it's both a good deal and adds a lot of trust? I suspect the physical presence part is a big driver of cost. Both because of rent, but also wages. And because the camera is not displayed to the whole country, worse matching of buyer and seller.
What if the payment is made to their wallet? Do they "freeze" their own wallet?
Your comment is useful, bold, and correct.
The paranoid in me says there’s no point in installing the web store version unless you download and inspect /it/. The source code published isn’t necessarily the version distributed, though obviously injecting code in the CI pipeline would be... excessive. This goes back to the trusting trust problem. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/01/countering_tr... If someone managed to skip an exploit into a release of webpack, well, there goes the Internet ;-)
Sure, but B&H is probably going to take a good 30% premium in that transaction, if not more. Which is certainly better than losing a camera and getting 0% back...

Over 1000 transactions, you’d do better selling on Amazon. On one transaction, your statistical outcome is still the same, but you run the risk of hitting that one bad outcome.
I can't wait for stack overflow to fall out of favor. There's few places as beginner-hostile as SO. If you get enough points, you get the close button, which effectively is telling newcomers to RTFM in nicer words.
It's a little different. You can mark which comment answers a question, and comments can be voted. We will probably find some other things we want Discussions to do differently, too, as we iterate.

Show HN: Strategr – cross-platform time management application written in C++
It will depend on (a) the state [upgrade status] of your phone and (b) the version of GApps.

If you have both a phone and GApps of similar vintage (similar/compatible release dates, etc.) which were developed and released before this imposition was forced upon Google then it should update.

The way I read that document is that code generated from now on will test the hardware and if it's found to be incompatible with the directive then it will not install. Simply, I read this statement to mean that for the foreseeable future you will not be able to sideload current or newer release of GApps onto Huawei phones.

The only true way to find out is to try it.

Isn't this how mortgage escrow essentially works?
It still competes with SO because now you'd post the question about a certain framework or library on its repo's discussions. Also, isn't it kind of explicitly doing that because discussions can elect an "accepted" answer?
Software devs face so many struggles nowadays I do not think they have control over anything anymore. Most are coding against high-level APIs on top of memory hungry operating systems that are doing god knows what in the background. caching is everywhere and the things you think are realtime are often smoke and mirrors. what todo? wait until a new update comes out? throw more hardware at it?
Indeed, they did seize bitcoins. I thought the dollar equivalent would be obvious to those who read the article. Also, the CAB would absolutely (and has) seized foreign currency. They will seize cars, watches, real estate, documents, laptops, mobile phones, designer coats...pretty much anything they think they can auction.

You might be interested to learn that the price in euros or dollars is not hypothetical at all and is traded daily, 24 hours a day, on exchanges all across the world.

They did not seize nothing. As the article mentions, they seized the wallets which contain the private keys. Presumably, they are missing the password(s) to unlock the wallets.
GitHub bought Spectrum (spectrum.chat) in 2018:

But I would caution against integrating too many tools into GitHub. As a user, I like that GitHub errors on the side of saying no. You don't want to end up with a bloated product.
I agree. I basically fall back to a subroutine with try and subprocess.check_output() as shorthand.

However I like this lots:

subprocess.call(['cmd','with','precise','args',file1])
I never understand these studies. I'm bootstrapping a startup and my work output scales linearly with hours until about 60 hours per week. 60 hours per week is comfortable with 4x12 hour days and then 12 hours over two shorter days. To accomplish errands and the like I just do things before 2pm which is plenty of time.

For me personally more time working = more output. What am I missing?

I should note that I have no family, no commute, and my gym is in my home so I'm able to save some hours on those things. I could see how in those cases one would have less time for work.
The nice thing about Bash which can obviously not be said about Python is that Bash scripts will keep working (assuming whatever they call is also there of course) since Bash goes out of its way to preserve backwards compatibility. Considering its legacy, Bash can run scripts more than a decade before Python even existed.

The only other scripting language i know of that has similar backwards compatibility is Tcl. Perhaps Perl too (ignoring Perl 6 that was renamed to something else again due to it being practically a different language).
