The Syrian civil war (if that's what you're referring to) is a result of the Arab Spring that started in 2010 in reaction to low standards of living in Tunisia, which spread to amongst others Syria.

That's the wiki summary anyway, which doesn't directly implicate the US or any particular president.

That said, general unrest in the middle-east can be attributed to meddling from the US that has been going on for decades, from the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, the US funding the Afghans during the Soviet/Afghan war, to the first and second gulf war, the Saudis, etc.

> I don't think I've ever seen a study which has said that the amount of carbon produced by these local changes in biomes is anywhere near the carbon saved by the move to renewables.

I recommend you read the paper for a review of research evidence that this might be true for large-scale wind energy installations.

4.2.4. Increase in Biological CO2 Emissions Caused by Wind Farms

"Typically, the annual emissions from soil respiration are roughly balanced by the absorption of CO2 via photosynthesis ... However, the total emissions from soil respiration are known to increase with temperature. Estimates of the exact rates of increase vary between studies, and there are many complexities in extrapolating from the results of e.g., a mid-latitude forest or a tropical region to global estimates ... Nonetheless, most studies suggest that the warming of soils generally leads to an increase in biological CO2 emissions from soil respiration. Therefore, given that the global CO2 emissions from soil respiration are an order of magnitude greater than anthropogenic emissions, we suggest that the increase in biological CO2 emissions caused by wind farms warming the night-time soil temperatures could potentially be similar in magnitude to the reduction in anthropogenic CO2 emissions from the wind farms."

That's like saying that cleaning my house means moving the dirt to somebody else's house.

> There is no other way.

That is not true. The other ways are:

1. Reduction of energy use per person.

2. Control of population growth - at the very least, stabilizing the Earth's population and theoretically a reduction.

3. Using Energy sources which are low-carbon, but expensive and/or difficult to deploy.

of course your way makes it a lot _easier_, but since reduction of greenhouse gasses is necessary regardless of the availability of a convenient energy solution, these are also relevant, and gradually are becoming necessary.

By the way - (1.) is already progressing relatively well in lots and lots of countries.

You are right that it basically just moves the pollution to the next developing country.

You are incorrect about your coal comment. You can see China spewing yellow smoke (it's an even dirtier type of coal than the two we have here). The cleaner tech only gets adopted if it's financially cheaper or has some other incentive like the government enforcing standard (which relies on the education/opinion of the people).
Nuclear, Solar, Wind and Wave energy are all there if we just were willing to do it (too bad about the Green lobby getting stuck up about Nuclear and the Coal/Oil lobby(+nimbyists) sabotaging everything else).

I can't believe that a country wanting to have a "comfortable standard of living" is seen as a "risk". Almost suggesting as if those countries don't deserve them and a comfortable standard of living should be reserved only for a select few countries.

I just can't fucking believe what I just read.

> How can we be cool, when everything that's happening is so very far away?

You are conflicted here. On the one hand there's a whole new world available to tinkerers and poor people alike:
low cost SBCs and rich ecosystems of knowledge, peripherals, open source software packages, and maker communities. OTOH consumerism turns once cool and magical things into mundane commodities for the masses.

Being cool is no longer expressed by being able to wield the magic wand of exclusive and arcane insider knowledge or access to hardware.

Being cool means creating your own semi-autonomous robot. It means providing teaching tools to the less fortunate at affordable prices. It can be achieved by realising your creative potential in new and unexpected ways (smart mirrors, automated hydroponic gardens, interactive art, ...).

Many of the things you mentioned regarding applications moving away from us (and into the "cloud") were never even cool to begin with. Streaming is just TV in new clothes. Social media is just the digital equivalent of high school hallway gossip. [edit]I understand you never mentioned these particular applications by name, but it's what most people actually use the cloud and computers for these days[/edit]

The difference between cool and consumerism can be little things: a digital picture frame is boring consumerism. A digital picture frame that has a motion sensor, a camera and facial recognition that only turns on if you move towards it, identifies you, tries to guess your current mood and picks an image accordingly, however, would be something I'd consider to be pretty cool.

The best part about it is that you can probably build something like that for less than $100 and it'll work offline using OSS components only.

So consumerism is both a blessing and a curse - it enables products to be affordable for a general audience; at the same time it takes away the "magic aura" surrounding incredible technology and its applications.
One would think that banks, who are the prime target for every person that "wants to hack", would be leading the way in terms of bug bounty programs and benefiting from smart people finding gaping holes in their systems.

This bank could have gotten into serious trouble with regulators if a bad actor exploited this bug and stole millions.

Don't expect them to adjust their behavior any time soon, but the "HN effect" might make them undo this action to avoid bad PR and make a few vague promises about "fixing the issue to avoid it happening in the future".
Hi all! thanks for sharing the news! At Quaternium we are very excited to see that our project is raising so much interest! There are already many accurate comments on this thread. But just to give you some context.
Quaternium was the first company in the world to demonstrate a hybrid power system for a drone, with a flight over 3 hours back in 2015. Right now, our latest record is over 10 hours of hovering flight with HYBRiX multirotor (with an experimental setting with more fuel and no payload). A key element of this news is that the drone is <25 kg MTOW, (bigger aircrafts have obviously longer flight times).
The fuel engine acts as a range-extender, it is a series hybrid, like the BMW i3. And we develop the power system, in collaboration with Löweheiser company (https://loweheiser.com/) using a 2-stroke Zenoah engine that we adapt to the drone needs. Our product uses the engine on a very different duty-cycle, comparing to the standard application, so we do a lot of work on it and got a much better performance compared to other competitors.
Multirotors are the most popular drones for several reasons, that some users have already mentioned. They are much more versatile because they can hover, do not need launching platforms and are quite easy to operate. They are also mechanically simpler than helicopters, reducing failure points.
Our goal with HYBRiX is to being able to replace manned helicopters for aerial imaging operations, not to replace planes or fix-wings, which are more efficient for the applications that do not require hovering. As for convertible VTOLS / fix-wings, they are cool but not so versatile, because their hovering endurance is very limited, only useful for VTOL take-off / launch. That makes it possible to take-off from smaller areas than planes, but do not have a performance comparable to a multirotor. Hope this clarifies some doubts mentioned on the thread.
And that board is like 10x faster than my router, which does similar things with a 560 MHz single core MIPS processor, 128 MB of RAM and USB attached storage.
I have no explanation other than they try to bring back antisemitism. The lawyers, not bitchute. Because if you shut down a platform that has such content, other people might also lessen their opinion. Because you crashed a platform for a single issue. Stepping away would be sensible.
I don't think the studios care either, it's the artists that are at the forefront. As long as their image is not spoiled the rest doesn't really matter, I doubt many people buy (or don't buy) an album because it's published by Sony Music or Universal.

Don't show that to climate action skeptic. They will think, the world looks almost the same even for 60m. Each country is affected differently, most by a small percentage of land, some not at all. People will adapt.
I think relationships have always been hard, but it has never been easier to leave one, or to be tempted by alternative partners.

I'd be much happier with this if it was platonic co-adoption.
It can absolutely happen, yes, but note that this is nothing that anyone alive today will witness (barring progress in life extension technology).

Sea level rise is projected to be around 2.4 meters by 2100 in the worst scenarios. Maybe it'll be a bit higher than that but not by much. And by the time the oceans do rise by that level, maybe we'll have reclaimed most of the continental shelves anyways by building dams, so we'll have a firm grip on the technology needed to build dams at scale.

There are far graver consequences of climate change that affect humans immediately, this decade, this year, this century.
> Scala is limited mostly to JVM...

No, it's not. You can call native (C) functions from the JVM.
China is able to look at the rest of the world and see trends and where they want to be. Most oil people who really look see that electric cars will have a place in the future world (as oil people they want to minimize it, but they are forced to admit there is a place for it). China doesn't have the built up oil infrastructure that the rest of the world has, and is seeing the affects of pollution in their cities. Thus it makes sense for China to adopt electric cars faster than the rest of the world: if you don't have infrastructure in place it is easier to justify building electric over oil, as opposed to US/Europe which needs to justify replacing otherwise working find oil infrastructure. If you can't be confident that you can fill your gas car on a long trip anyway you are going to prefer a gas car for those rare long trips, and so lack of charging infrastructure doesn't mean as much. This of course means more demand for electric car charging stations over gas stations and the effect can snowball into gas not being viable to use for long trips in China.

The above is speculation of course. It seems reasonable, but only time will tell.
The reality is that production just moved to China. It isn’t better for the planet.

It’s a deal that’s been hijacked by business interests; just like the Cali proposition written by Uber that’s “for drivers”.

You will never get a hundred countries to voluntarily agree to prioritising climate change over prioritising business interests.
I think you're right! I misread it.

> If we want 8 billion people living in comfort, we need more energy

This is not true. It is possible for 8 Billion people to live in comfort (of course, for a reasonable definition of comfort, which isn't typical US lifestyle at the moment), with the amount of Energy produced right now. _If_ production and distribution, political and economic structures, transportation and habitation systems etc. were to change significantly.

(This is regardless of the Nuclear yes/no discussion.)

Isn't it bunk to apply extrapolation to two countries that start from a different per capita base?

Germany is significantly lower in per capita emissions so their reduction is (I'm assuming) a lot harder to achieve. It's like comparing fat loss between someone who starts overweight vs someone who is starting neutral bmi.

https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/united-states?country... and add Germany.

Happy to hear why I'm wrong, I'm certainly not an expert in stats or emissions.

I feel lucky that I had a class in college "Methods in Binary Analysis" that was centered around reading new research every week in binary analysis, presenting what you learned from the paper and then as a final project attempt to produce novel work from what had been read. Together with a professor who made a point to teach us how to effectively read a paper with many of the tips in this article being something that professor taught us.
Internal repo that does caching of images is rather obvious and a good practice, but it still doesn't mean that 100 pulls are that many.

Maybe we understand something different by a "small" team, but IMHO a smaller team uses more ready public images, to save time and costs. Also even not that big project on Kubernetes that includes internal software will also have a lot of other software.

Let's speculate: I had a look at some teams I know and how they work (or they would like to work soon) and it's easily 15-30 images in a CI/CD pipeline. Plus tools used to develop, but not exactly released in a build (source code management, PM, communication etc). All teams I know have 2-3 cycles developed at all times (next release, hotfix, future release after the next one). This means a lot of these tools are multiplied by 2-3 (upgrading tools as well, so multiple versions of same tool needed). If you have a few clusters that have different requirements it can also be multiplied by 2 or 3.

I would not dare to think what would happen if someone used "latest" tag in their daily work, or organized a docker/kubernetes workshop for new people :)

I don´t know why people overvalue Musk an Tesla that much for reducing emissions. When I ran the numbers last year, a single city in China(Guangzhou) was enough to reduce emissions more than entire Tesla sales, just by replacing all of their busses with electrical ones.
Don’t apply emotions to science. Ending COVID19 is a risk to global emissions, because the pandemic‘s lockdowns has reduced emissions.

Risk doesn’t mean emotional judgment or anything about who deserves what.
It is a lot like reading levels. Go feels like a grade 5 reading level. This means most people can read it. It also means complex concepts take a lot longer to explain because you have to avoid all sophistication.

Slack Expands Surveillance Features
Yes, it requires a reasonably large amount of memory and runs for 40-50s per invocation. $0.12/month seems pretty reasonable to me. In our case, it also interacts with other GCP APIs, so the security model where we can just grant the Cloud Function service account granular access is extra convenient and would require extra engineering to duplicate if there were a free host somewhere that we could run the same code. GCP has a free tier and if that were the only thing we ran there, it would probably be covered. I really don't know about what's included in their free tier though because the other services we run on GCP put us well past whatever it might include.
Why exactly?

China has shown time and time again that China will do what China feels like doing.

Meaning them committing to doing something 10 years doesn't mean they will do it at all.

We clearly don't really care about climate change or stuff like this would be about taxing pollution through tariffs and other means. Rules like this just move the manufacturing and thus pollution to different countries. Which is pointless when the goal is to reduce climate change.
> ... change their perspective once they become parents and few regret it

Citation needed. Psychological research clearly shows otherwise. Plenty of parents show symptoms of resentfulness, guilt and depression.
>USA per capita CO2 emissions are large, but at least they have been coming down moderately fast. From 2007 to 2017, USA reduced emissions by 20%, whereas if we take Germany as an example of a country with strong "green" element in politics, Germany reduced by 8%.

Which is primarily due to Obama era regulations that Trump has done everything he can to roll back. Had the price of gas not skyrocketed and the mortgage crisis not hit, we would've had almost no improvements from 2000-2008.

If you look at the data available from 2016-2018 we went BACKWARDS. You can't extrapolate the data from Obama's regulations that have rolled back and say: look it'll take care of itself.
As my logical view, the one who is emitting and can afford to reduce, should work on it.
Why did you report it in the first place? What did you expect to happen? Let's say they did not terminate your accounts but sent a thank you letter, would that be satisfactory?

I'm interested in why do security researchers or bug hunters do this kind of work for free. It really devalues the proposition long term imo, but I don't have a horse in the race. My POV is megacorps with bottomless pockets and armies of highly paid engineers miss these critical security issues all the time, and the best reporters can hope is chump change (if not abuse).

edit: Even more specifically I'm wondering why can't the security community work together, denounce the current practice of exchanging bugs potentially worth $$$ for ~nerd cred? Make some high profile disclosure if that is what it takes to take the work seriously. Wouldn't it work out better in the long run?
True, but misleading. Last year Iowa got more than 60% of their electric from renewable sources (almost entirely wind). The natural gas plants are not for base load, but for backup when the wind isn't blowing.
That's not a given. Stem cell treatment could be the ticket and it only costs ~5-20k USD today for treatment.
