> Your anecdote is what popular attempts at curbing bullying have been trying to address.

Popular where? At least the popular anti-bullying attempts in Finland assume that there's "2 sides to the story" and seek to find fault in the bullied party. Maybe you live in a country with different anti-bullying programs?

> Nobody is saying to excuse it or free adults from responsibility.

Let's just say we strongly disagree on that point.
This happens all the time. Many axioms people take for granted have been arrived at by simple osmosis coupled with a desire to conform. Truly independent thought can lead you to conclusions that are simply unacceptable in polite company. This can make you rich but it can also cancel you.

Burning all the fossil fuel reserves we have (know about), would add over 200 ppm CO2 to the atmosphere (mostly from 1 trillion tons of coal). The additions from oil and gas are smaller. We'd then have over 500 ppm CO2.

"Recoverable" coal is about 20 times proven reserves, so burning all that would add 4000 ppm CO2. Now the total would be 4500 ppm CO2, or almost 0.5 percent! Likely to be quite unhealthy.

Cryptocurrencies don't have market cap, unless the purport to be a security in which case SEC comes knocking (see XRP).

I really wish people would stop using this term to describe the price. It is really meaningless as a measure of current or future value. There is zero residual or fundamental value because there are no fundamentals.

Calling the product of number of tokens and current price of tokens a market cap makes about as much sense as calling a current a voltage.
Sometimes the point of behavioral psych and sociology research is to take “what’s obvious” and collect the data to put a hard number on it. That way policy makers can justify putting money behind different approaches to address the problem...

I'm sorry, but where's your argument here? Virtually every stable system humanity has ever devised is stable precisely because that stability is adversarial.

Your argument against people becoming hostage negotiators relies, as far as I can tell, on this being an extreme state for humans, and therefore totally unsustainable, but like... why? It's like arguing that bridges can't stand up because they are subject to extreme forces from all sides.

The sanity to which you speak is actually just passivity, In the hostage negotiator analogy, it is what happens when the hostage negotiator hangs up before the negoatiation is over. In the bridge analogy, it is what happens when one of the forces acting on the bridge stops acting on the bridge.

Sustained human existence is work, your proposed sanity preserving option is just nihilism, and it is unsustainable, or at least mutually unsustainable with existence.
>People seem to think that if they don’t experience a bug, it’s an “extreme edge case”

And they're usually right. From millions of units sold, a small number usually has a bug, unless it's an OS bug independent of the hardware (and also not dependent on the use of a specific software setup, e.g. some ACE plugin or some app messing with some system).

1000 people having the problem and 100 reporting it and some news sites picking it up can make for a big fuss in blogs and posts, but it's still around 1 / 2000 people having the issue in a 2M production run.

That's awesome! Well met.

I want to emphasis that NLP "is" lots of different things depending on who you ask. The most important aspect IMO is the act of "going meta-" to your own psychology, learning to "reprogram" your "biocomputer".

It's a fundamental shift. People talk about education that adds facts to your store of knowledge vs. education that changes who you are. Learning to operate your own mind+body changes your self-image in a deep way, and raises the level on which you operate.

What excites me is the possibility that enough people learn to take responsibility for their own thoughts and emotional reactions, and we can collectively get over our shit and make e.g. some sort of cool Star Trek future, where humans are mostly sane and healthy. (And "we can hang out with cool aliens that like us." ~Dude, Where's My Car?)

Wow that 43% of people who get online orders have experienced a theft seems super high to me.

I'm trying to think of the lowest tech solution to this that would work. Maybe plexiglass lockboxes that are secured to the floor but left unlocked. Package delivery workers can put them in the boxes with little effort (important or won't be done) but only residents can open them up.

Just enough to deter casual/opportunistic theft.

AirTrain JFK exists because

- the circle of terminals is too wide to be well served by one or two stations without significant walking, but too small to have a full length subway or commuter train stop every terminal. If you built a direct heavy rail link, you would probably need something like the AirTrain still; BART has a similar setup at SFO, as does DFW

- JFK itself is located awkwardly. It is too far away from straight path rail lines. So you are either diverting everyone passing through on a time consuming detour via every terminal, or you are splitting frequency upstream and depriving commuters of train capacity they used to have.
Alternative interpretation is that we've reached a limit on the globalization and scaling. Had countries been much more independent of each other, and open about the pandemic, an early lockdown/quarantine would have contained pandemic to a single region.

Also careful with meat guilt. Our brains have an inherent need for setting hard-to-achieve goals that require overcoming hardships. That's how humanity progressed from living in caves to what we have now. The concept is widely studied in ancient philosophy. Google up eudaimonia if you want. It used to translate to people setting hard constructive goals (like building a house in a frontier land or inventing a car to replace horse carriages). Except now that we automated most constructive things to do, this part of our brain is capturing guilt-driven self-restricting goals. Don't eat meat, don't have a nice house, don't drive out, don't have a vacation, don't have family/kids, don't pick friends you like... Except these goals are divisive by definition. You can't make everyone accept every possible "don't", so people are forced to argue about whether their set of self-stigmas is holier than their neighbor's. This is textbook medieval tribalism and it's unfortunately a very stable (and grim) state of the human society.

I'm not trying to bash anyone, I'm just saying be careful with your goals, as they may not always bring the happiness you want.
Electricity to heat conversion is 100% efficient by definition (entropy), so it’s theoretically no worse than if OP bought a plug in electric heater afaik.
It is pretty hard to imagine any particular set of conditions short of total planetary surface destruction that would make all extremophiles go extinct - and as long there is enough of them, they will start spreading again.

Any particular species, including humans that lives on Earth is unlikely to survive catastrophic changes - but life will come back and spread into the newly freed and opened niches, just as it did before multiple times.
While the bug is unfortunate it is also easily avoided: always delete a volume group together. Don't leave some volumes from the group laying around.
Did you read the article to the end?
Just so everyone knows, in CA your assertions are false. CA courts have ruled that if a company protects documents or email systems then they earn the status of a trade secret. Theft of trade secrets is a felony criminal offence in CA. Do I think the CA AG is going to charge her? Unlikely. But there’s no need to demonstrate damages here like in a civil suit.

Illegally exfiltrating documents to your lawyer is also, illegal. Such documents would not be admissible in court and should be obtained through the usual lawful channels of legal discovery.

In short, don’t do this. It’s theft.

> Apple makes it clear in big bold letters that you're compromising security by using alternative booting technology.

Can you give an example(s) of how you are compromising security?

If I make my own boot drive and boot from it how am I compromising security?

I can think of scenarios like the following but the way I see it this would be a corner case:

"I somehow social engineer making a clone of a person's (say my wife/coworker (not computer literate)) hard/ssd drive. I then figure out a way to make their machine only boot from that drive by simply choosing that as the startup disk. I have installed some malware on that external drive that grabs or does something nefarious". In that case though with that kind of access I could have done similar on their internal drive since I have access to it already."

My point is why do we assume that the external boot drive is compromised if it is being created by the person who owns the hardware? This seems like some kind of government or large company protection applied to the entire apple customer base. Why couldn't the device ship with the ability to turn off this protection?
This is light on details. Blizzard had their own channel up and was playing the music. This clip is from Twitch's channel. Lots of streamers were restreaming the event and right before this performance, there was a message that said, "The upcoming musical performance is subject to copyright protection by the applicable copyright holder." I imagine only Blizzard themselves had the rights to stream it. You can watch it on Blizzard's channel https://www.twitch.tv/videos/920697882?t=1h24m52s

>The truth is, however, that there is nothing “pro” about Apple products anymore.

The truth this is a tired of chessnut that we've been hearing for 15+ years...

And yet, judging from their laptop choices at conferences, developer videos, and so on, over half of industry leading devs across many communities (from Node to Java, and from Go to Rust and whatever else) use those laptops.

Not my experience. That said, you're free to use the non-broken Windows and/or Linux OSes!

Emphasis mine. The author doesn't bother figuring out what exactly the danger is, he just throws words like "subversion" around.

Coinbase will make a lot on their staking products, I can see huge growth there!

I am surprised by this multiple but I can see it, as the law of diminishing returns has not set in and won't for a while.

Pretty much all aspects of this require growth in other parts of the market to support, but they are all things I agree with.

For example, Coinbase should be allowing people to pool their REN to run hosted darknodes - darknodes function as a progressively more trustless exchange letting people move assets across blockchains. Coinbase already lists REN. Taking a cut of that as the volume grows there will essentially allow Coinbase to double dip. They get the transaction fees when people trade, move funds off of their exchange, and a cut when people move funds to other blockchains through RenVM, which will be a many-to-many relationship. The Forex market does several trillion $ a day in trades, so another mere order of magnitude in growth of the crypto economy would support the growth of all the infrastructure projects inside of the economy.

There's not much you can iterate on Venus. It's a pressure cooker down there hot enough to melt lead. There's no way a probe can last more than a few minutes on the ground. With a huge investment, you could maybe double that, but in any case you're going to hit diminishing returns really fast. I'm not sure we would even know how to design a refrigeration system that would work at those temps, let alone how to power it, and I'm also pretty sure we don't know how to make anything electronic that works at those temps.
Imagine having a interactive choose your own adventure story read to you while you lucid dream. That would be insane.
I'm glad you're here, but OTOH I say it can be good to accelerate at your leisure.
Especially when you're running a company that facilitates the exchange of high-price trading cards. If those cards are popular and expensive, and the market thinks you're worth 22% as much as JP Morgan, it's a great time to cash out. They might be eyeing a direct listing because institutional investors know that price is ridiculous, but also because they see Coinbase as something of a competitor, so the only interest will be from retail investors.
Ah, but once a deadline is set, it is very hard to un-set. Apple does not exist in a vacuum, it communicates its schedules to others and huge efforts are made by many people and companies to meet that deadline; it is not a trivial thing to change.
Schiphol also is one of the largest examples of a one-terminal airport, though.

This approach would work less well at, say, JFK, which features terminals arranged in a circle that is too wide to serve with a station or two without significant walking, but too small to have trains feasibly stop often enough to eliminate the walking problem.
I think both of these things are a direct consequence of the natural-language-like syntax, libraries, and lack of boilerplate.
Came here to say that.

Also note that with libstdc++ that bug is actually a use-after-free bug, which has grave security implications on top of being a regular old bug.

Show HN: I wrote a book about distributed systems
Hey HN!

I'm excited to share Understanding Distributed Systems: a modern introduction to building distributed large scale applications that brings together theory and real-world practice
[1]. It's the guide I wish existed when I first started out.

Although there is plenty of information out there — like academic papers, engineering blogs, and even books on the subject — if you were to put it on a spectrum from theory to practice, you would find that there is a lot of material at the two ends, but not much in the middle. The book tries to fill that space.

The book is divided into 5 parts (communication, coordination, scalability, resiliency, testing, and operations) and 21 chapters. Although it's complete in its current form, I plan to add a lot more content to it in the future (e.g., CRDTs, control planes, and Byzantine consensus). You can download a sample with the first two chapters from the book's landing page [1].

I would appreciate any feedback!

People just can't let something from 21 years ago go, can they? The band's done a complete 180 on everything regarding digital distribution, and it's been this way for years (I'm sure owning their masters and own label has something to do with it).

Also, if it weren't Metallica, it would have been someone else; virtually every big artist at the time felt the same way but didn't speak up.

Full disclosure: I'm the CEO of BetterUptime.com.

One thing you can do is to properly configure your monitoring software.

1. Pick the right alert sensitivity + notification channel:
If your app is well-built and never goes down, 30 second checks and getting alerted after the very first failed request works well. However, if another legacy app is unreliable and often goes down for ~5 minutes when making DB backups, configure your monitoring so that you only get alerted when the legacy service goes down for at least 10 minutes.

2. Get phone calls for high urgent alerts (e.g. homepage is down)

3. Push notification/Slack message for low urgency alerts (e.g. background processing queue has too many tasks enqueued). If you're at a dinner with friends and you get a low-urgency alert you can just ignore it.

4. Don't take it too seriously! Odds are it's not a life/death situation when your app goes down. Downtime happens to everyone!

5. Pick a reliable uptime monitoring provider so that you never get a false incident at 4am in the morning (shameless plug! :)
