The professor has without doubt heard the question thousands of times, by those with dishonest intent.

Because the answer is always no. There are no natural phenomena that coincide precisely with the industrial revolution. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere tracks exactly the amount of fossil fuels being dug out of the ground. CO2 levels had been stable for millennia before that, and then they changed sharply. Nothing natural has gone on to change that.

If the question were intended honestly, you wouldn't call it "disagreement". You'd be asking for information and would make your decision after you had it.

If your description is correct, that's why your professor scolded you. The name for disagreeing without knowledge is "denial". The name for asking questions that you don't really intend to listen to the answers is "sea lioning", which is a tactic for wasting time and frustrating people. It's dishonest and rude.

If the situation was as I understood it from your description, I'm not surprised that they spoke sharply to you.
no one but the press is talking about it now either
Not a single one? That seems strange. Its almost like "cancel culture" is really just "repercussions for my terrible views" but that can't be it, right?
Kafka Based Timers
Ah yes, of course the stupid savage just doesn't understand simple intent...

This is the most overused bullshit response by your ilk, sticking me with the most radical take possible where none was implied then tearing it down.

This guy didn't lose his job just because he said the N-word without negative intent.

By his own estimation he brashly lived on the edge of what was ok but never went to far. All of this "I can be an asshole".

Turns out people tend to have charitable views of themselves. Judging by how much exposition he needs to wrap it up in and how someone was willing to call him "the end of the asshole era" something tells me the "few" times he was an asshole stuck with people.

-

You're free to toe the line of what's ok, but yeah this is exactly what happens eventually:

A messy situation shows up and instead of others defaulting to treating him charitably they defaulted to treating him as a liability.

He signed his own firing papers with that asinine cryptic "Don't believe everything you read", but you know, even in such a serious situation he couldn't resist one more bit of snark.

I mean, serious laughing my ass off, imagine trying to "flippantly" convey anything in that middle of that shitstorm.

He lived by the sword and he died by the sword, pity.
Why the downvotes?...

At this level, this is directly the consequences of either a choice (that Apple services would behave like this), either a lack of design/thinking through the whole user path.

Whichever it is, it does not sound very "Apple", but brutal and complex.
"limiting profits is bad" says the worlds biggest pro-capital megaphone while referencing a company that usually does paid pro-business questionnaires.

"As expected, rents in Berlin’s regulated market plummeted in relative terms." and "Newly built apartments have therefore become even more unaffordable for most people."
They are not directly lying, but I'd count this as dishonesty by omission. Newly built apartments in Berlin's city center were already impossible to finance for most people before the regulation started. So their complaint is like saying "most people cannot afford a home in Pacific Heights" which is true, but irrelevant to the regulation.

"There was also an acceleration of apartments going up for sale, as landlords tried to cash out of their now less profitable investments." You know, for the families trying to live there, that is amazing news!

"the landlord tends to sell the unit rather than re-let it" Wasn't that the goal of the regulation, to increase home ownership by those living there?

"The biggest question is whether this episode of left-wing populism has damaged confidence in Berlin’s real-estate market permanently. If investors fear that local property rights will be put at risk in every election, they might stop building houses in the city at all." Oh wow. I'd wager that 99% of those living in Berlin won't mind if international investment corporations build their overly shiny and overpriced apartments somewhere else.

And lastly, this article appears to not mention one critical thing about Berlin at all, which is "Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft". Regular families joining a non-profit to construct apartment buildings for their own use together. One of the goals of this regulation was to boost that, and scaring away for-profit investors might just be the way to make space for non-profit investments.

I don't blame Bloomberg and Ifo Institute for delivering what their customer base wants to read. But it would be foolish to treat this as objective reporting.
science is limiting...

precisely because it merely builds models.
I added some example code to the post, because, again, I kind of can't get over how easy this turns out to be. And if you follow the link into Jason's `wireguard-go` code, until you hit gVisor itself, it's not much more complicated under the hood.

Having complete control of TCP/IP in userland like this, with so little code, is so valuable I feel like there needs to be some special name for the technique.

The whole thing is kind of a vindication for Go's standard library network interface, which I have always hated.
Whether or not this succeeds or is a disaster a) depends on what wants the outcome to be like, and b) when this is settled in court. As of now house owners (and remember: we talk mostly investment companies, not individual persons) are encouraged to speculate that the court overrules rent controls and (somewhat illegally) hold back appartments from the market. Once this is settled one way or the other these flats will be available on the market again, and if rent control survives, at somewhat acceptables prices.

Remember that rents did increase ~300% or so over the last 15 years, but income maybe only 10 or 20%.
Presumably if there are multiple overlords they need some accounting mechanism to allocate resources among themselves.
You also need to look at how many formerly rent controlled apartments have been sold and taken off the market. The charts don't really show that, but the articles suggests that is happening
Maybe China could go for a double tap - limited flagged strikes with the calculation that the USA would refrain from involvement or 1-1 retaliate (which China could eat). Wait 18 mths for the chip shortage to erode capability and then really go for it.
I just don't get why people think that uploading all their passwords that are protecting some potentially extremely sensitive data to some random internet company is a good idea.

And then wonder when they are being extorted ("you better subscribe and pay or else!"), datamined (article) or have their data stolen (LastPass was hacked before).

People, stop giving these businesses the loaded guns to hold at your head! There are plenty of offline password managers that will do you equal or better service than this.
I look at it this way..

if people had actually locked down hard everywhere for two or three weeks over a year ago, this damn virus and the common cold would be history.

The problem is not the lock downs, its the failure of the lockdowns because of the people who don't do it.
One thing you can do if you're running Linux is to not run a compositing window manager. Use something old-school like fvwm, fluxbox, or WindowMaker. i3 is also good. When the X server draws directly to the display, it is FAST and there is not the delay of at least one frame, possibly several, that compositing WMs have. You run the risk of tearing, but I think most open source X video drivers let you turn tearing off.
How do labels facilitate reasoning in this context? If a politician, for example, says that universal basic income would empower poorer people to become larger contributors to the economy thus having a strong ROI while raising quality of life (all of this is hypothetical I don't care to debate UBI here) - I'm lost on how knowing whether this is a left vs right policy is beneficial to anyone trying to decide if this is useful policy.
> At which point the data could be taken and leaked. That would end the company, protocol, and platform forever.

First of all, Could and is are two different things. Second of all, if the protocol and company are so badly designed that "could" is equal to "leaked" then it should be the end of the the protocol and the company.

> I think having lost data is better than having it stolen and lost...

Not "stolen" vs. "lost" but "possibly stolen" vs. "definitely lost". It is up to a user to establish if they think that "possibly stolen" is worse than "definitely lost"

> But saying "the users should have the choice" simply would have opened up the risk of a more serious attack at the whim of whoever was doing the attack...

Absolutely not. That's the trade off that one makes when deciding to handle user data. Encryption and backup strategies come into play there. The company in question had not bothered to think about it.
> as demand from new arrivals far outstripped supply

This is mischaracterizing what is going on. There is rampant speculation by multinationals buying up old housing stock and attempting to do the New York City model of hyperluxury renovations at the expense of existing residents.
> In the US, President Biden now promises four years of pushing for expanded renewable energy. And the economics are in place

Why do you need President's promises and pushing if the economics are in place? Laughable.

Risk Protection Program: Moving from Shared Responsibility to Shared Fate
I don’t know what that means. Everyone is merely building models.
The University of Medicine where I got my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering is now teaching a course in Homeopathy. So, yeah.... there is also a need for "scientists" to know how science works.
I'm not referring to Hitler personally as part of the left, I'm talking about the support he received from so many socialists on the left.

Hitler himself was, I think, a megalomaniac who wanted nothing but his own power, and a delusional madman intent on killing almost everyone. He doesn't belong on the left-right spectrum, because he was motivated by nothing other than his own madness.
Wow, did not know this, I'm going to go and have a deeper look at it now. Thanks to all in this comment thread!
Def agree! Might try to look into doing this in the future.

Thank you for the writing prompt! I appreciate a chance to explain a little bit, which gives me a chance to make sure that I understood it as well :)
it's a bit crazy how easy it is to upload executables
Yeah, my understanding is when ARM support is added, we'll add a field to the pkgdef file that you can specify architecture. Any apps missing that field can be assumed to be x64.

spk and vagrant-spk definitely take the "grab what the app needs" approach, but Ian is in agreement with you in wanting something more reproducible and well-defined. (vagrant-spk is mostly reproducible because VMs made with it should be roughly the same, spk is not remotely reproducible).

docker-spk is a tool he wrote that creates Sandstorm app packages from specially-crafted Docker images (you still have to be writing a Sandstorm package here, it won't convert a traditional Dockerfile to work on Sandstorm, for instance). He has also repeatedly expressed interest in building a nix-spk tool that uses Nix packages. ;)
Except a bank run on this sort of endeavor would bankrupt Coinbase in a few hours. The "threat" of taking delivery of actual BTC will strongly push against entities that want to fractionally reserve BTC.

"not your keys not your Bitcoin" has been a mantra from the beginning. You can track BTC withdrawals from exchanges. Ability to possess your own BTC quickly and easily is a primary feature of Bitcoin that separates it from gold and fractionally reserved fiat.

Fractionally reserved Gold happens because gold is heavy, hard to transport, store, and secure. This leads to centralized storage and then fractional reserve. You do see how the lack of physical properties, especially in contrast to gold, make the comparison much different in regards to willingness and ability to withdraw BTC and self store?

Again, a physical gold bank run, vs a BTC bank run are so massively different due to fundamental properties that this is a comically absurd threat comparison.
The alternative proposed by the article is basically : let it unregulated, the market will provide.
Which is how it was before. Was the problem solved? No. Maybe it is not the right solution but I doubt very much the author is concerned by the problem.
The article says only some places have their rent capped so the rents of the uncapped ones are skyrocketing. I am not convinced it is a solution cause I don't claim to be competent in the matter but how about all rents be capped? This is a solution the article does not even bother to discuss. So it's just yet another piece telling you that things are how they are (that is to your disadvantage) and nothing should be done about it. The article put right wing populism and left wing populism on a equal footing but as far as I can see one tries to give access to a decent life and public services, the other leaves to fend for yourself while blaming any minority group for it.
It's completely useless when you move away from the center. The left/right spectrum bastardizes politics to only one dimension and every extreme is trying to redefine what it means, ie. "pick whichever side sounds better to you and then redefine it as the thing you care most about". And you end up with basically good/bad spectrum. Like libertarians, socialists and nationalists have completely different definitions just to exclude from it everyone else.
Unwrapping Use-Site Targets in Kotlin
This looks like someone trying to replicate Alex Birsan's attack on Apple, Microsoft, and others but through package confusion instead of version squatting. Reasonable speculation:

1. Host thousands of typo packages that phone home every time they are installed. Store IPs.

2. Find which companies own those IPs, filter out residential

3. Report vulnerabilities

At this point I think the only sane way to interact with these companies is to make sure that your life can go on if they decide to lock down your account. Never be too dependent on any single company or account.

Which is why as Apple is trying to make their ecosystem increasingly sticky I am doing my best to diversify away from their services.
Recently reading Graham Greene's The Human Factor, its portrayal of Western Intelligence agencies being mired in moral ambiguity and beurocratic confusions was compelling reading. I hear it was even made into a rather successful film.

Why not pre-register? Why wouldn't attacker pre-register?
Maybe some billionaire could set up an institution to keep scientists honest. Like it wouldn't try to do any original research, it would be purely dedicated to finding whether published research replicates, verifying the statistical analyses on which published research rests, and busting academic fraud (eg. citation rings). Over time legitimate scientists would crave its stamp of approval and make their research easier to verify (eg. publish the source code). It would be a good training ground and employment scheme too.
Discovery and search. Looking through my YouTube subscription, well over half of the people there are people I discovered via YouTube, either by searching for a video about a thing or by having it recommended to me. YouTube has the best tools for building an audience, and that is what a competitor has to replicate, not the video hosting functionality.
Those aren’t really analogous. Doctors aren’t pro-vaccine because it’s good for their business interests. They’re pro-vaccine because their community agrees that they work and are produced safely. In the case being discussed, the argument is the anti-rent-control folks are letting business interests drive their argument.
> but basically our brains can figure out the fundamental note based on the harmonics alone, even if we don't hear the fundamental frequency itself

I guess this is valid for trained musicians. For me, I can't possibly identify the same note in different instruments, as all these sound very different to me.

The only thing I seem to be able to do is to identify a song based on the very first second or two. Because they are different sounds, not just notes.

Watch the video. They state that they had MFA turned on before, and that they renewed their password and MFA within five minutes after the supposed security breach.
As Karunamon said in a sibling comment, labels facilitate reasoning. Yes, labels have their inherent risks, especially such vague labels as left and right (as applied to politics).

But we live in an age of political parties. It seems we can't do representative democracy without them, for better or worse: And given that, we need a language to talk about parties' politics in broad terms. And then we inevitably come up with various axes such as left/right, authoritarian/liberal, and so forth to describe them. So long as we remember that these are rough categories, I think it is useful and harmless. But of course, once fronts harden and the tribal impulse sets in, that important caveat may be the first to go out the window.
"Price changes in the regulated market dropped relative to those in the 13 other cities. That’s because real estate loses value if its future cash flows to landlords are capped. There was also an acceleration of apartments going up for sale, as landlords tried to cash out of their now less profitable investments." & "And whenever somebody does move out — when moving to another city, for example — the landlord tends to sell the unit rather than re-let it."

Sounds like it is a massive success? Those units don't magically disappear, they are bought - by homeowners. It seems like the landlords were artificially driving up the housing market while not adding any value.

The only problem here is that they limited it to pre-2014 apartments. Maybe they should just extend it to all apartments instead.
Wouldn't they just use a 3rd party payment processor these days (e.g. stripe or similar)? I can't imagine taxes, chargebacks and other things being such a huge issue now for a small independent who could likely leverage one of the many available payment platforms.

Marketing seems to be the biggest draw for using a publisher these days. That and getting easy access to partner management with sony and microsoft. My understanding is that some publishers are even quite good at social media now, helping indies get exposure on twitch and youtube.
Feel free to point to these cases where people scaled 1000x when they hit the HN frontpage. Especially their database.
Speed is a cop out. Engineers love to focus on performance.
I agree, I phrased that badly. I've now edited it to "limiting profits is bad".
The IDE is an extreme case of user interface.

You type in a letter and that starts off a cascade of computations, incremental compilation, table lookups, and such to support syntax highlighting, completion, etc. and then it updates whatever parts of a dynamic UI (the user decides which widgets are on the screen and where) need to be updated.

It almost has to be done in a "managed language" whether that is Emacs Lisp, Java, etc. and is likely to have an extension facility that might let the user add updating operations that could use unbounded time and space. (I am wary to add any plug-ins to Eclipse)

I usually use a powerful Windows laptop and notice that IDE responsiveness is very much affected by the power state: if I turn down the power use because it is getting too warm for my lap, the keypress lag increases greatly.
> “Bastion - an actor framework for Rust”

This would have been less accurate and far less interesting. A title that somehow referenced the Erlang roots of the design might be an improvement, but without comparing to an existing project I don't see a better way to summarize the project's full value proposition than exactly the title we saw. But of course if you don't actually read the article you can't find that out. You're allowed to think the title is stupid and not read the article, but then don't come here and pretend your ignorance is insight. That's why the top level deserved to be flagged to oblivion, though FWIW I only would have downvoted.

He's (or she's) talking about Scientism, which is a reliance in the outcomes and institutions of science, rather than the process of science itself.
Yeah the internals of the `sst start` command are a little complicated. But it only needs to setup it up initially, from that point on it simply connects to the WebSocket API.

SST is open source and runs on your AWS account. We don't charge you for it and it's most likely going to be within the free tier on AWS.

Well at the end of the day they're both libraries for doing heterogeneous parallel compute (CPU + GPU w/ one API).

oneAPI might be more general but at the end of the day heterogeneous HPC converges on linear algebra. So it might have different ergonomics but it's very similar.
Remember the 1990s when everyone mocked MS Outlook for downloading and running unverified software automatically?

[Python-Django-React Fullstack Developer]

My expertise lies in automated web scraping of difficult to obtain data, websites with bare bones structures and complex to parse, large scale websites, including those using 'scraping protection' services and sites that simply put - are hard for most to scrape. I use a variety of methods for getting the data and aim to obtain the data as quickly, accurately and efficiently as possible.
I don't know but I love it! I started as a sysadmin and I like organizing and categorizing things, setting up config, writing docs, managing CI/CD systems, setting up git processes, etc. all that stuff is my jam even now that I spend most of my time managing or doing full-stack dev stuff.
