> scientists holding back data (global warming)

I spent ten hour a week, during 3 months (lookdown helped) parsing data for global warming as well as economic data for model like DICE and others. Which data was held back please? I would really like to know? I might have been fooled by the treasure trove of data publicly available.

Is it that the atmosphere overall have the same average temperature[0]? Its not held back. Is it that the low troposphere warming is causing the artic circle to break more often? Nah, i still found the raw data too.

What was really surprising to me about the climate change denial is that the most well-know of "solar forcing" was debunked by physics college students circa 2004, and that despite that (and the cycle ending a while ago) it is still the argument i found the most often. The better argument, low-troposhpere CO2 concentration have a low effect on radiation, i hav seen exactly twice. Without the corollary, a c02 surplus at the surface level take between 20 and 30 year to reach the hgh troposphere/low stratosphere, so every emission right now will have almost no effect until 2040. This data is not held back, and is discussed quite often too.

Did i miss something important?

DIY for its own sake is often a "penny wise, pound foolish" approach. I recently needed a new TV stand, but I didn't feel like paying even what a cheap ikea version would cost. thinking myself quite clever, I bought a bunch of cinder blocks and a piece of particle board from home depot instead. the total cost was about $12, mostly for the board. it makes a very stable platform for the TV, but it weighs at least five times as much as the cheap ikea stand. it takes four trips to move the damn thing and it leaves cinderblock dust everywhere. I regret that decision every time I move or even rearrange my room.
You can thank toxic journalists who attacked youtube recommendations for being "toxic". You can also thank the toxic journalists for all the censorship on youtube.

Youtube recommendations 10 years ago was so amazing. Just a refresh or two and you'd get interesting stuff - obscure or popular, new or old. It didn't matter. Now, it's the same corporate, propaganda or popular vids over and over again. You bring up youtube and it's mostly the same exact recommendations from yesterday and the day before. They are literally cycling the same videos over and over again.

Why not make the default search and recommendations "PC" to appease the toxic journalists. But give the users the option to revert back to the "normal" search and recommendations.

Why can't they do it like they do search. "Safe", "Moderate", "The good old days" modes?
It tells the algorithm that you’re “not interested” in videos like that one?
If the site is mostly static then SPA isn't worth it. If you've got a lot of functionality SPA let's you make site way more interactive without hacks.

The best of both worlds is a static site sprinkled with React components where they make sense. Angular can't really do this, but react is designed to work in parts of pages.

So if your customer wants one really crazy sortable filterable list view you can do that in clean react code instead of a bunch of jacky jquery
> I'm not sure why you're limiting your number to professionals.

Because pretty much every one in Congress has a professional background? I guess this begs the question whether Congress should be more representative of the population as a whole. To take a (perhaps?) extreme example -- if 6 percent of Americans are high school drop-outs, should 6% of our lawmakers be as well?
You can make a great recommendation algorithm, certainly better than YouTube's, if you use a different criteria for success. YouTube's criteria is to recommend whatever causes you to watch a lot of YouTube.

It could be that most people's goal in life is not to watch the maximum amount of YouTube.

One thing I've wanted since I saw a prototype Joe Edelman made for Chrome, is after a video is played, prompt the user for a rating, and a reason for the rating. Joe had a taxonomy of human values for this, but it could also be a freeform tag based system.

Then when you go to YouTube next time, you say that the reason you're at YouTube is to "increase my knowledge of machine learning." Or maybe it's Friday evening and you just want to "make me laugh."

Most people probably won't pick "make me outraged or scared.", but that does give good engagement metrics...
does anyone know what headphones those are?
Yup, most MOSFETs will have no trouble running at 125C! The power supplies in some of our products occasionally run at 180C, without heat-sinking. But these aren't designed to last as long as a motherboard VRM.

In general cooler is better. At high temps you'll see temperature related aging accelerate (e.g. solder, PCB substrate, electromigration in the parts), but you'd probably be okay. The PC would become obsolete way before the VRM fails. The worst case I can imagine is the MOSFETs and inductors heat up, bringing the local temperature up to a point where the controller IC enters over-temperature shutdown, but it's unlikely.

Personally, if the current heatsink is too big I would just find smaller ones and attach them. I don't really have a good reason, I just like parts running cool :)

Unfortunately a legal solution is weaker because it has to enumerate the precise conditions that are unacceptable. Do you ban the logistic function? Tanh? Statistics?

Actuarial tables have been a part of decision-making for a very long time and it's not possible to form a comprehensive legal statement of "all decisions must be made in good faith with respect to inherent biases and to the most rigorous epistemological standards".
I would guess, altho I've since turned vegan and never tried it, that their flagship original recipe chicken is identical or similar.

But the wraps, burgers etc are very dry in the UK. The bun is dry and styrofoamy, the sauces are weird and seem out of place, overly sweet and too tangy, very artificial, and just the wrong choice. The vegetables seem less fresh and more flavourless.

The chips are unsalted and underseadoned and bland.

I tried it enough times to be sure it wasn't just a Covid induced lack of taste.

I've since stopped eating at large American chains and stopped eating animal products altogether, so it won't be a worry for me in the future.
This just changed about two weeks ago, right? The rate of suggested rewatches went up from like 5% to 20% for me. And surprisingly, it seems not to have tracked or not be displaying that I've seen it before (with the red progress bar on the thumbnail). I agree this is a bad change, especially deceiving me about my watch history.

This was around the time they changed the mobile progress bar behavior to require dragging to advance, rather than allowing you to jump to the point you select (i.e. away from the model used by the android brightness slider).

> Your mad technical skills no longer matter to them. If anything, humility and an openness to learning will show you in the best light.

I've been interviewing for the last couple of weeks and I agree with this. Being a "good" human being, i.e. candid, humble, kind, friendly, seems to be valued a lot more than what I thought before.

At the end of the day is people working with people, and the more humans that interactions can be, as opposed to a rigid, dry act, the better.

At least, that gives an idea of the company and if it's a fit for me.

Ask HN: What do you miss in uptime monitoring services?
I'm working on uptime monitoring service.

I know that there are a lot of them (more than 170).

Let's miss the part of the point of building yet another one, since I've already launched it and now, apart from fixing bugs I'm looking for unique selling proposition.

Maybe you use pingdom, uptimerobot and others, and you're not satisfied?

I wrote an article about something more-or-less unique https://victor-ponamariov.medium.com/a-way-of-detecting-if-your-site-was-hacked-1e7ad06ae4ab, but still not sure if it worth implementing it.

Another thing is "Transactional checks", when you can tell service that it should:

- visit your page

- submit a form

- see something as result

Similar to functional testing, like you have a set of actions.

This thing looks very promising thought Pingdom has it.
True. The blood-brain barrier is a relative barrier, not an absolute one. When we say it doesn't have (effect X), we mean "within the normal range of doses."

> misconfigured to not load unless googletagservices has finished loading.

Yep, this would be a website I'd just not use. For e-commerce, there's always another place. Ironically, sites which do their own tracking first party (Amazon.com) are much better than sites which do not, unless they're built on a standard platform like Shopify or BigCommerce.

I'd say your model for what makes an enjoyable web experience is different than mine. I care about content, not just getting sites to load. If a site is badly built enough and lacks so much respect for me as a user, I don't care what they have to say anymore and I move on. Your approach isn't necessarily wrong, but it certainly isn't conducive to whitelisting, because you'll end up whitelisting most of the things I'd actively want to block.

It's 2020, writing a website that works properly is easier than ever, and these businesses have no excuse for how bad their sites are.
Maybe you got married young because you both thought each other were sexually attractive in high school and you were young and stupid.

Turns out a year in you don’t have a lot in common.

Should you stay together and have kids together because you made a stupid decision based on sex?

Your partner doesn’t have to be a sociopath for someone to decide marriage was a mistake for both parties.
In my experience YouTube's recommendations are pretty predictable. If you watch a specific type of content it will keep recommending videos from that type until you search for something else. Sure, it makes some mistakes but you can always customize it to not show some type of videos or channels. If you are getting toxic recommendation all the time there is a high chance that you watch a lot of toxic content.

(1) To the best of my observation -- and I read Inside Higher Ed regularly -- this certainly happens but it's not common.

(2) AFAICT, when it does happen, it happens through known channels. e.g. there might be a few classes or majors which have a reputation as going easy on athletes, and instructors there might be asked to stay in line.

I'm not saying it never happens, but it's certainly uncommon enough that "grades are meaningless" isn't really true.

We don't have much control over what our desires are, even if we can focus our thoughts on how to attain them. In this sense, we are only superficially different from the schizophrenic mind you describe.
Being disconnected or connected or representative is not some magic bullet.

Obama has already proved you can connect with everyone and make no big dent on any hard issue. There are thousands of simpler examples if you study hard problems.

Imho the hardest problems (whether it involves a family or an org or a nation) require old people on the front lines.

Not because the front lines are going to drastically move (they take their own sweet time with hard probs), but because who ever is on the front line is going to take a hit or get slaughtered. Why send a young person or a newly wed or someone with kids or someone showing promise on simpler probs to that front line?

As soon as you have to deal with your first hard unsolvable problem, what you think matters and doesn't matter changes.
If you dig a layer deeper on payments for order flow, the majority of that revenue comes from options trading. Because they're more opaque, options carry fatter margins versus stock.

Ask HN: What are your new learnings from 2020?
> Feels akin to fixing a security breach by firing the dev who introduced the vulnerability.

How big is the breach? If it's a minor incident, sure, keep the dev. However, if the dev introduced a breach that caused the company millions of dollars in damages and likely an outside investigation, then that dev will likely be fired for incompetence.

> That seem ridiculous and unfair.

Not at all. That's how the media industry works: Factual errors are a cardinal sin.

The New York Times is the one of the most prestigious journalistic institutions in the world, one who touts its "Paper of Record" title with a reputation for thorough and accurate reporting.

Rukmini, Andy Mills, and their editors are expected to abide by those standards. With Caliphate, that went out the window. Not to mention the numerous red flags raised by other reporters and editors within The Times' Foreign team that pointed to questionable reporting and sourcing by to Rukmini.

Caliphate has collapsed under its weak reporting, forcing The Times to revoke and return several prestigious awards, including a Peabody and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, an embarrassing look for the paper. And, for that, heads should roll, from Rukmini and Mills to the editors overseeing the project.

However, this likely won't happen. Rukmini has already been reassigned to another section and will likely continue her work (in reality, The Times won't let go of one its
"star" reporters, and Rukmini won't find a more lucrative gig at a news organization with as much prestige and resources than The Times). Mills, however, will likely be fired, and not because of Caliphate: There are reports of Mills' predatory behavior toward young, female journalists, and many of them are coming forward. The outcry will likely reach a fever pitch and likely lead to his resignation next year.
Or a slightly different take on the it, that businesses with money at stake will claim "science" when they need support, though the business can't be trusted to tell the truth about the science. And the business is usually better at publicity than the scientists are.
Just for the record, I'm 57 and I don't want to talk to you on the phone either. That said, if we do, it will be great if it is a nice experience and it will be very, very bad if it's the opposite.
Improving Kubernetes and container security with user namespaces
Yes, this is the real answer. What you want to watch, or what you would like youtube to recommend to you, is at odds with what youtube would like you to watch (and potentially share), which is enraging, clickbaity, low quality material.

As a n=1 data point I'd like to add that I watch youtube mostly for music, and it that sense the algorithm is not so bad (since there isn't much room for "viral" clickbait), and my only complaint is that it usually shows me the same videos over and over, but it still shows me related videos that I usually like. Whenever I commit the mistake of clicking on a non-music video, my recommendations get polluted for something between one day and one week.

I never log in, so if for some reason my cookies get deleted or corrupted I suddenly get a fuckton of shit with celebrities, "outrageous" political opinions and so on. The recommendations don't get back to normal until at least 3 or 4 weeks. This has happened 2 or 3 times, and it's so infuriating that I wonder if youtube does it on purpose to nudge me into logging in and have a view history associated to my account.

That’s not a very helpful comment. Not everyone has a choice in what OS they use (especially if it’s at work)
Screen tearing is usually due to rendering faster than the display can support. So you wouldn't want to have it on by default since it likely impairs frame rate if I had to guess.
With the exception of Intel's ice lake CPUs (10th gen Core), everyone does thunderbolt on a discrete controller (in the case of this ASRock board it's a Titan Ridge controller). The x570 chipset runs very hot and is actively cooled regardless of the presence of an off-die thunderbolt controller hooked up to some of it's PCI-express lanes.
Well, it is a difficult question as linux is a bazaar-style ecosystem and while apple can change something fundamental at a whim, every significant change in linux will result in a split of the community (with different ratios) and the ‘winner’ will slowly swallow the other. But still then, noone has the incentive in open-source to start porting their app (and usually, since the new thing will be a smaller community at first, it creates a negative feedback loop) - fortunately those that depend on frameworks more often than not can simply be started in wayland mode and no change is required by the maintainer.
For more special clients (like a screen reader) you will need more time as these programs require special handling by the compositor so one has to create an extension for that and a/some DE should implement it then. It will take some time and maybe some niche program that relied heavily on the X implementation will never be ported, or will have to be recreated with wayland in mind (I mean those scripting little programs that read what is under the cursor and the like)

Also, most DEs have really good backwards compatibility thanks to xwayland - because frankly some app will never be ported. (Also, accessibility is unfortunately quite the last thought on even paid platforms - and last I heard it was not all that great to begin with on linux)
It's not so much there being something "wrong" with it, it's more that there are trade-offs. Look, for example, at https://tc39.es/ecma262 (the JS spec) and try to jump around the page: you'll notice that it takes quite a bit of time for some things to render simply because the document is absolutely humongous. BUT, once it does load completely, you can insta-search it with ctrl+f, it reflows/wraps correctly in a mobile browser and and if you throw your iphone's accessibility feature at it, it'll read the document for you. Being able to google the thing in the first place is also due to ability to programmatically crawl the document and analyze its contents. These are important features that are usually forgotten by the people proposing that everything should be a thin bitmap buffer on top of raw hardware.
