Testosterone decline in men during that period (and yes, decades is a very short period of time in the context of health effects over time) would seem to corellate with phytoestrogen increase
I don't know if you knew this, but the "Keep calm and carry on" poster was rarely published in WW2 times: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_Calm_and_Carry_On
Yes, thanks. I have read the article too. :)

If American English isn’t your first language, please understand the emphasis in my phrasing of “one has to think...”
I feel like I _can_ do whatever I please with items I bought. I see the iPhone as an integrated product. There is no boundary between semiconductor, system board, operating system, application runtime, and the 3rd party app ecosystem. It is all one product. Being able to split this apart so I can tinker at the interfaces is not something I demand from something I pay for. Whatever I try to do outside of their expected use of the product is sort of a crapshoot. It says nothing about freedom.

Physical punishment is just a terrible comparison.
If we replaced SolarWinds with Splunk would you be reacting the same way?
By 5+, do you mean over 5 years of experience? Or is that a reference to the internal leveling structure?
How is it not 'property damage'? That's categorically different from attacks on persons, so clearly using the same term for both phenomena lacks nuance.
Too fast also causes the plane to drop out of the sky, as you start getting supersonic airflow over the wing causing it to lose lift AFAIK.
Most anagrams of English words don't themselves look like English words, so anagrams are not really a very fruitful way to find words that this algorithm will accept.

The real trick is to use common letter and vowel combinations, combined in ways which by happenstance don't correspond to actual words. Off the top of my head, I just generated BRECK, LUND, and ALOUGHT, all of which the AI accepted.

EDIT: Another fruitful strategy is words with common Greek or Latinate suffixes, mashed together at random. I just got ANACHROSIS and PERILATION. This seems to be particularly fruitful for generating long words for people looking to make those 50 point plays.
Non profit EINs are public knowledge. Perhaps they are non-profit?
I've seen one of the crashed U2 in the PLA museum in Beijing.

It's a very interesting museum, well worth a visit.
BCC meaning Bitcoin Cash? It is commonly called BCH now.
They are still around, with a few miners. They had a few forks which split and degraded their community significantly.

It is trading at about 0.013 BTC, which IMO is in line with their current impact.
Well, yeah. They are supposed to be in control of their vehicle. If they can’t stop in time, then they are driving too fast.
So they are the Prius of recent years?
Eh, don't bother, some people like the person you replied to just enjoy staying in a hotspot, and it makes no sense.

As someone who is "hispanic" it amazes me that someone would do such a thing when they are constantly in danger, and there are safer places to live, but medical and other cheap entertainment in MX is probably the reason why.

If he has spent two years in Tijuana and hasn't heard of the places you mentioned, or done any true traveling, well, yeah.

They're content. That's what they want. That's all they want.

> the most egregious offenders are software developers

Blame always rises. Management knows that any product without extensive review is going to be bad. They push it out the door without that review because quality costs. Stockholders know. Software is bad because you can't sue the companies that made it.
Same here. Its really exciting to see something you are waiting for go into the kernel. Are you waiting for the lenovo legion and patches by chance?
One thing you can do is stop buying clothes with nylon and polyester (which is hard to find but not impossible) since these release plastic particles when you wash them which eventually enters the sea and the food chain.
Investing in Slack – Seth's Blog
Luckily, it seems like he's mostly abandoned the spectacularly stupid hyperloop idea.

More tunnels would be cool, but I find it hard to believe there's really that much room for improvement over established companies.
"Systems with slack are more resilient. The few extra minutes of time aren’t wasted, the same way that a bike helmet isn’t wasted if you don’t have a crash today. That buffer will save the day, sooner or later." -- Seth Godin reminds us that creativity can happen in the space between. Set a system where slack can happen without leading to disappointment of not achieving enough progress.

I also want to know how much I am drinking - the mesh filter in my faucet catches a significant amount of visible flakes of plastic, ones big enough that that I can roll them between my fingers. I think it goes without saying there is a lot more in that water that I cannot see.
You know in advance that it's tbe persistent vector you want, because it's on millions of servers, so then you analyze it.

And since the vendor's motivation to write an agent is to "get 'er done ASAP", not necessarily securely, voila.

Apparently, people who saw fit to steal money from the people working for them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Why is that so mind blowing? Microsoft has a gigantic market share in basically every vertical. There are tons of software companies who make Windows-only products. The world is bigger than (and in fact is largely not) FAANG and startups.

It is so very appropriate that you found this on HN. LOL.
It's one of the bigger names in the network monitoring space. Most network and systems people that work for a big enough company will have at least heard of them.
Those J1772 stations are useless unless you've got hours to kill. They charge at under 20mph--usually 18mph, but sometimes 12mph. And, in my experience, fully half of them are broken at any given time. The supercharger network compares favorably against the CCS network.
Search is not reliable or reproducible. People search for things in different ways, and the content of a file is separate from the location while both are important.

And search systems today are still terrible. Different interfaces, searching different locations and content, with different ranking and relevance and operators. Much faster to just direct someone where something is and let their brain figure out the rest, because we're actually very good at that.
I read articles like this and think, "It's time to give up 3D printing as a hobby."

Do you have total freedom in how you use 20% time, or do you have to plan it out and tell your manager exactly what you're working on?

My company tried doing the 20% thing but they put so much process around it that no one does it.
What's false about it?
You either believe it or you don't. There have been instances where more details were released (the Clinton campaign hack, IIRC), and it just gave more opportunity for people who did not want to believe it to nitpick details.

Whoever does such things doesn't exactly sign their exploits to prove ownership. So the evidence might be something like IP addresses in log files: totally convincing if it's your log file, but so easy to manipulate it's useful to convince someone who does not trust you.

If anyone is interested, guifi.net has been functioning for years here in Spain / EU. Works good, we even have a internet provider that can connect you using guifi.net. Basically, it gives you access to their exit nodes instead of exits that are private. There is also ongoing fiber rollout in rural areas and some dark fiber usage in the city.
UNIX is not going away, you are the one trying to put words on my typing.

I am talking about the Apple developers culture, from those developers that care about Apple platforms, regardless of what powers the bottom layer of the OS.

UNIX can exist until the end of days at Apple, that is not what matters to Apple application developers.

As for GNOME and KDE, they are lego pieces on Linux, a fragmented experience where the command line is worshipped, for most users running something else doesn't matter, or they even change environment every couple of days, this is not what Apple culture is about.
This is absolutely my favorite thing. I at one point had a weeks long debate about what "patched" means with the vuln scanning team. They couldn't understand why I thought checking the running kernel in addition to the file on disk might matter.
This is a big one. I have been making diligent efforts to buy everything cotton and wool I possibly can, and telling retailers why I want cotton and wool products. Wool is an especially good alternative for active wear given its natural anti-odor properties.
Great, now try to make an application following Apple HIG with those POSIX calls.

Nihilistic cynicism sounds a lot like smartitude to stupid people.
Yes. Plastic often in them self contain endocrine disrupting or even cancerous chemicals but also plastic when released in to water has proven to bind itself to different toxins.For anyone interested in this subject I can recommend the book Plastic - A toxic love story by Susan Freinkel.
Unfortuantely, we don't know.

Generally speaking when it comes to health stuff, we know disappointingly little, and the stuff we do know is often from past mistakes (e.g. smoking). We don't have enough knowledge to say what the effects of something will be usually, so unless there are obvious correlations and an obvious control group (again think smoking) we might never really know.

What the FDA will do, with pesticides for example, is test an 1000x dose on a rat, and look for immediate effects. If they don't see immediate effects, then perhaps it doesn't do longterm damage to humans. It's not very convincing, but it historically things used to be much worse.
Yeah, I suppose that's true. It just seems like a company that focuses on another company's products seems... unpoetic. Not sure how else to phrase it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah and? That is not what devs care about when publishing applications on the Apple store, following Apple HIG.
The problem is right now in SF we have a strong bike lobby and we vote and it still isn’t enough. The idea that voting with a block is a way to forward policy goals in 2020 is quaint TBH. As far as I can tell pretty much all successful political movements in the US (NRA/guns rights, marriage equality etc) have made the most material progress with both direct action (protests) and lawsuits despite both movements being electorally unpopular and having no electoral success at the time of their greatest achievements. Voting is a necessary but insufficient ingredient in policy change and has never been the silver bullet centrist democrats claim it to be. We need to add some legal adventureism to the mix to push the ball forward here both through expanding common law in friendly ways against car centric policies as well as just making it more costly to not have bike lanes than to construct them for the city and its residents.
This is the real question. I get the sense saying "we're consuming plastics" causes concern because plastics are generally demonized and looked upon as "bad".

But we consume a lot of stuff unintentionally. Fine sand is blown around and deposited on food that we consume. But sand is "natural" so it's ok. But it's really just silicon dioxide mixed with other random minerals. Is that a problem? We know inhaling silicon dioxide is bad for you, but eating it? It is an approved food additive.
We don’t have that in then city I live in. I just remember the lines for H1N2 that went out the door and took an hour and required you to sit there for 10min in case you had a reaction.
You are just describing every IDF soldier ever?

They routinely kill and maim palestinian teenagers with 0 consequences, so there must be a huge part of society that agrees with such ideas that they are able to do so with impunity.
In India, Facebook Fears Crackdown on Hate Groups
At least in El Salvador, things are getting better.

The Salvadoran president, Najib Bukele, a 39 year old businessman is effectively controlling gang activity. He is a pretty cool guy, and serves his country without collecting his salary.

Gangs in Central America extort people with jobs, so that in the end it's too inconvenient to have a job, and more convenient to be a gangster. If you have a honest job, some random armed guy shows up to collect most of your money.

It's a self-reinforcing phonomenon that kills the economy and turns everyone into gangsters.
As a linux gamer the most exciting part about 5.10 for me is open source AMDGPU support for Vulkan for the old AMD HD 7000 series cards abandoned by AMD (ie, HD 7950). Because Valve went back on their promise for Vive VR OpenGl support and only supported Vulkan my Vive HMD has been a paperweight on linux until now.

> I'd imagine that a large number of those 91 million are people who hold membership for the purpose of group identification and virtue signalling, not because they have a specific role in a hierarchy.

You're correct that most party members have "have [no] specific role in a hierarchy," but "group identification and virtue signalling," seriously? That feels like an inappropriate transfer of some stereotypes of the English-speaking left to the CCP.

My understanding is that most people who join do so because being a member offers small privileges, like preferences in hiring.
The policy still exists (it is still encouraged, me & my coworkers used it in the last ~2 years).
The "120%" issue is up to individual / manager (like many things at Google), I just took Fridays off of my main project, other people have different approaches.

Whether doing 20% impacts performance / promotion - it again depends on the individual and their level, two data points:

- I used 20% to start a team / role transfer, ended up on a very interesting project & team which helped my career growth

- one of my coworkers used 20% to start & maintain an internal feature of a large product that directly helped his promotion case

so I think 20% is great for Google and its employees (when applied wisely).
Defaults are much worse than inflation. They stop the economic machine by randomly taking players out.

Inflation can be managed.
In any other field we see the same thing happen exactly the same way 20 time we assume it to be a hard rule until proven otherwise. For some reason with economics every government comes along and thinks they can guide the beast when no one has ever done so in history. I refuse to believe that a currency having 1/6 the buying power over 50 years is a good thing. Yet, under 150 years of gold standard the dollar maintained the same purchasing power.

Inflation does encourage spending. But, it also discourages saving. Everybody wants to get rid of their paper before it becomes worth less. Saving is a healthy part of an economy.
By today's standards the code of the old task manager (as most of the code in Windows) is a big pile of stinking Underfined Behavior.

For example:

void COptions::SetDefaultValues() {
ZeroMemory(this, sizeof(COptions));

is a great way to overwrite a vtbl pointer and end up with a invalid object state. There is a safe and perfectly Standard compliant way to reset the object to its default state: `*this = COptions()`
In general, I agree that most bad things happen by accident, but I think generally it's an unhelpful statement. You should be slightly more suspicious of someone claiming innocence when they clearly experience benefits from the consequences of their actions.
It's worthwhile pointing out that there have been significant changes to aviation since, most notably the move to twin-engine aircraft. But ultimately that was made possible through small incremental improvements in engine design (and material sciences and manufacturing). There haven't been similar leaps forward since.

The Boeing 747-8 is 29% more fuel efficient than the 747-100 in absolute terms before you even start considering the extra space it has as a larger aircraft. Some of that is aerodynamic refinement (and they're limited by starting with the older airframe!) and some of that is newer engines. And the 747-8 is relatively poor compared with many newer airframe designs.
Really impressive! It'll be interesting to see how the malware got signed by SolarWinds...

I wonder what the cost of an attack like this is. It doesn't feel impossible for a small group (< 10) of very smart and motivated people to maybe achieve this in 12-18 months of work?

Of course they could be working on behalf of some nation state, but compared to let's say an ICBM attack, this is probably not out of the realm of non-nation-state actors to pull of.

An entrepreneurial crime syndicate would probably have the resources to do this (or outsource to some mercenary attackers).
I would rather it focused on the sources, so if the main source is drinking water, is it not being filtered out? What is the distribution around the whole US?
I can second the fact that the sandbaggers is a riveting watch with charmingly low production values.
Not really; the consensus view within the company was that the justin.tv website wasn’t long-term sustainable and the company needed a narrower focus.

There were three segments with sizeable viewer counts at the time: sports, video games, and social streams. The people streaming sports probably didn’t have the necessary permission from the copyright holders, so that was only possible through the DMCA safe-harbor provisions; obtaining the rights ourselves didn’t appear to be a viable option.

The entire company basically split into two divisions: the social division turned into SocialCam, which had some moderate success, and the gaming division turned into Twitch.
This magical search system doesn't exist. In reality we have dozens of different search backends searching different stuff in different places with different relevance and UIs and results. And if you're going to use labels then this is the same thing, except picking 1 major label to organize with.

It's why we have street numbers to find buildings. It's why libraries use catalogs to locate books. It's why financial systems use a chart of accounts with numbers and prefixes to organize transactions.

Location is important, and abstracting that away into a giant file share with search only makes things worse.

Even still on Earth, we're mining ~2% more gold annually. More gold in absolute terms is being mined than any other time in human history.

You just answered the quantum question yourself. We can upgrade the bitcoin protocol with quantum resistant cryptography. I very much doubt it would be a contentious fork. No need to bootstrap an entirely new value network.
> These names are all one-character long, rather than the standard two characters, and the surnames are some of the most common in China, so they end up having nonzero overlap.

Two character given names aren't standard. At least in some places, in some families, they alternate between one and two characters from generation to generation.
fwiw you’re asking how to build a reco engine without any of the necessary data needed to build one. Finding good data is the hard part. That’s the part that stops every HNer from building a reco engine as a hello world weekend project.
If min wage restriction is put below the market rate, it will have no effect. I think they are called called non-bounding limits in micro-econ
My point is that that is not the worst case. Example of a worse case: the attacker knows that + the first 2 characters of your password (real-life example).

The worst case would probably be something like "attacker knows hash, passwd algorithm, full state of machine at passwd generation time incl. random seed and all characters of the password but one". It is clearly far worse than your case, though I find your case more relevant than this one.
To be fair, all of the Enron shorts lost their shirts until they didn't. I'm not saying that TSLA is an Enron, but using performance thus far as an indicator of likely performance into the future is a famously poor idea.

TSLA has famously bad QA issues, etc etc I don't need to go on. Few (including some of those who are holding TSLA stock right now) would say that there is meaningful justification for the current valuation.

I mean, if one day Zig support those, that's definitely super awesome. Of course I'm aware that more menpower on that direction is needed :)
The more the Fed has bonds in their balance sheet, the more fragile they are in an inflationary crisis. If inflation goes up and interest rates go up, the fed's bonds go down in value. If the fed balance sheet becomes too much in the red, they need to print to make up the difference, which means more inflation.
Does anyone know whether Nvidia CUDA works with this latest kernel? I know for general use cases the Nvidia driver appeared to work again somewhere mid-November, but there still appeared to be issues with the nvidia-uvm kernel module.

I’ve seen hints that this has been fixed in 5.10, but wasn’t able to find any official source. Anyone that knows more about this?
Thank you. I am getting destroyed in this thread. I thought this was hacker news. I don't understand the level of confidence being accorded here to centralizing bodies.

The uncompetitiveness in manufacturing is due to two factors:

1. Regulations. Both the OSHA and EPA had a measurable negative impact on manufacturing productivity growth. [1] I suspect the most harmful regulations are those that constrain contract freedom by requiring employers to give unions a negotiating monopoly, aka collective bargaining, over any work unit where they emerge. This would devastate any of the bright spots in American industry today, whether it's Tesla, or Amazon, or Google. The threat of unionization also discourages these firms from expanding into areas that require employing high concentrations of less-skilled workers in immobile capital intensive projects, as these are the most susceptible to unionization.

2. The massive rise in social welfare spending [2], diverting capital from productive uses to unproductive ones.
