You have to scroll to the right
Because it's actually 99% content? It's a slightly jarring look when you're used to "I know you're trying to read this, but here's 10 more articles that look better on our engagement rates than simply scrolling".

It's a major newspaper in Spain. First or second in the country depending on whether you're counting by online or print readership. It doesn't exist just for one article.

(Although with a little clicking around, it does appear most articles have a sidebar, and this one doesn't. No idea there.)
The upper left of the SVG is empty (blank or white) so if your viewport is relatively small then you will be looking at a white page.

Did you try scrolling? It's a comment thread rendered as a graph; the root comment is in the top center.
It always intrigued me: why is it somebody else's job to secure a company's website? This is completely backwards. Rather than investing into security, they let somebody else fix the problems while leaving their users exposed. At this point, it is more ethical to sell whatever vulnerabilities you find to the black market than to "ethically" disclose them.
I had to zoom out to 25% of the original zoom level to see anything.

Unfortunately, its not programmers making these decisions. It's non-technical, marketing, and HR departments that copy and paste the terms from the most recent treatise on wokeness.
Ah, the pedantic bait and switch, one of my favorite rhetorical foibles!
True, but the rest of the story says that it was a mistake:

Out of the loop: what genie are they trying to stuff back in the bottle? Googling reveals that his transfer contract with full prices etc was leaked, but that appears to have been a few years ago.
They started processing a portion of Amazon.com's purchases back in 2017 and I'm guessing that portion has probably grown since then.
This SVG is possibly the most insane format for a forum I've ever seen. What CMS produces this, and um...why?
The collateral damage would be unacceptable. Goodbye any comment section, goodbye bulletin boards and forums; the damage may even extend to things like MMORPGs.
The currently linked SVG view is not plausibly readable, in my opinion.

Would this not be a better link?

I think if they want to operate in China, the Chinese government will tell them all traffic from Chinese customers has to be routed through a Chinese government controlled backbone operator, and the surveillance and censorship will be applied there. So Starlink won't have to directly apply any censorship. They will not be able to use laser links to route traffic of Chinese users to other countries. (Possibly the Chinese government might make an exception to that restriction for business use, such as low latency connections for financial markets.)

I'm not sure if China will let them operate though – nothing to do with censorship, to do with protectionism. They might want to reserve the Chinese market for a future Chinese controlled constellation.

Until such time as they are approved by the Chinese government to operate in China, they are going to geofence their satellites to refuse connections from terminals located on Chinese territory.
Bets on how long until this makes it into exam rooms??
No it doesn't, you'll still need someone moderating to approve posts 24 hours a day or else the site stops working. No one wants to have a conversation through hours-long gaps in a moderation queue.
Yeah, they were getting 8 down 3 up in a rural area via a locally run ISP. Starlink is insanely disruptive in that market.
iirc dogs are also equivalent to the average emissions of a person in Vietnam. So best to cut them out as well.
Yes. The big secret is they're hybrid windmills ;) The grain mills are separated from the wind turbines by electrical lines, unlike their mechanically-linked Dutch grain mill predecessors. Any excess electricity goes into BitFlour, a cryptocurrency that's "milled" instead of "mined".

(For those who missed it, the parent is asserting that "windmill" should be reserved for wind-powered mills.)
I think Krotov’s is the one that I have tried. The package includes (or used to include) a simple IDE (a code editor) also written in Oberon, which provides another good example.

Lol, this is actually being discussed at major tech companies and the comment is downvoted. 'Black Friday' is also frowned upon as well.

Reddit and HN both support searching by url and there are extensions that e.g. replace youtube comments with reddit comments.

Good read. It seems like a good plot for 'Miami Vice'.
>Comment sections on news sources are mostly a dumpster fire

Except for substack. In an interesting twist the comment sections on substack are thoughtful and polite with the authors chiming in -- at least in my experience. Don't know how to explain that compared to most sites. Maybe is because only paid subscribers are allowed to comment.
Ada was a real bear of a language. When it was introduced as the language of instruction in some class at UIC back in the 80s, students had to work on teams as a single compilation was enough to consume the weekly CPU time allocation for a student account on the VM/CMS mainframe. They had to set up file sharing between accounts and move to a new account with each new day's login. I think there were a few cases where students ran out of CPU time even with pooled accounts before they could complete an assignment.

Great point about TIPS! Effectively everyone who's arguing that we're in for catastrophic inflation doesn't trust the wisdom of the market as much as their own reasoning based on Economics 101 models.

As mentioned near the end of your comment: typically a workaround (possibly with temporary files instead) E.G.

find /path | sort | bsdtar -c -f OUTPUT -n --files-from /dev/stdin ...Args

I prefer the second version which terminates paths with the NULL character. Both include -n to not-recurse.

find /path -s -print0 | bsdtar -c -f OUTPUT --null -n --files-from /dev/stdin ...Args

From the BSD manpage: -s Cause find to traverse the file hierarchies in lexicographical order, i.e., alphabetical order within each directory. Note: `find -s' and `find | sort' may give different results.
Sorry, I didn't realize that. I only posted it because ubi like systems tend to be a topic that gets brought up on hn a fair amount and I haven't seen many large proposed ubi type bills like this before, even if it's not likely to pass.

I figured the proposed ideas may warrant discussion.
> Personally, I think this article raises great points. If we could rewrite history and have built a thriving nuclear power industry 20 years ago, we'd probably be in much better shape now, at least with respect to climate change

France did that. It is not perfect but I would call it a success. France CO2 emissions are low [1], electricity is affordable, and suffered no major accident. France is even able to recycle nuclear fuel, and is generally among the world leaders of everything nuclear.

> The only thing you moderate are those things deemed illegal by the Federal government, anything else is fair game

Why?

It is certainly legal in the USA to be a KKK member as long as you aren't participating in the domestic terrorism. Yet I have no interest in conversation with KKK members and would will choose to freely leave websites where they hang out. So many people agree with me that a website owner decides he needs the traffic of anti-KKK people and starts banning legal Klan members.

Why must the website owner keep Klan members who have not broken any laws? Why should everything besides what is deemed illegal by the federal government be fair game?
I spent a lot of time kayaking around Monterey in 2016.

A couple of observations.

We were constantly reminded to maintain distance from endangered Sea Otters.

The Sea Otters were pretty cool, but it quickly became annoying at trying to avoid and maintain distance from them as they seemed to be as common as cockroaches.

And the kelp.

Trying to avoid the aforementioned Sea Otters required kayaking thru massive kelp beds, which was like kayaking thru spaghetti.

This was along Cannery Row and the local Marine Reserve.

I certainly hope it’s as frustratingly awesome full of sea otters and kelp like it was 5 years ago.

Super cool, and long may it continue.

I only wish I could have dived it.
It's not a bait and switch, it was my only comment here. But it's reasonable to expect people to get the genders correct for the subjects of their sentences. Use a neutral term like "they" if you don't know and don't want to or can't find out.
But HN has active moderators, and also is a much different subset of people than the people who are reading the article. Also you don't see HN comments by default on articles, so even if the comments are bad they won't detract from the article itself.
The republican party in its present incarnation is a deplorable group with no ethics and bad intentions. It embodies none of the virtues it purports to represents and many vices. The only non deplorable reason to support it is to obtain tax breaks which still means that you are putting a lower tax rate ahead of everything else including ethics, your fellow man, and even basic competence.

Deplorable aptly wraps this up in a bow whereas the converse charges of "Marxist" "Communist" "Anarchist" are entirely detached from reality.
Reading thru the thread, it appears the browser they are referring to may be Cutebrowser.
For my home projects I generate parquet (columnar and very well suited for DW like queries) files with pyarrow and use Dremio (Direct SQL on data lake): https://github.com/dremio/dremio-oss (https://www.dremio.com/on-prem/) to query them (minio or just local disk or s3) and use Apache Superset for quick charts or dashboards.
For the downvoters I only wish you could see the discussions on a couple of company wikis concerning which references to rely upon for the lists. There a hoot.
> Critics however claim that if adopted all year round, this would result in darker winter mornings which would be more dangerous for children going to school

This drives me bananas. If you're worried about this, the right answer is not to force everyone to change their clocks, it's to change the school schedule to start an hour later.
> Fix what you have when you need to.

Not possible to do myself, and it's not feasible to pay someone to do it. I don't have the tools, the electronics, nor the replacement parts (not to mention knowledge or time) to keep a modern car going for the remaining 30-50 years of my lifetime. Attempting to fix it at the point where everything is falling apart becomes impractical (as I keep trying to tell my dad when he's spending even more money to make a '79 truck run).

Not to mention that getting those parts custom made or shipped to you from across the country incurs its own environmental penalty.

> Eat less meat.

I've found that, to keep a balanced diet without meat, it's quite a bit more expensive, and exceptionally more time consuming. Then there's the health issues (like those outlined in the scar study featured on HN a week or so ago).

I absolutely could compromise my health and lifespan for the sake of the world, but I'm not going to.

> Consuming less, buying less.

There's a lower limit to how much less you can do and still remain as a healthy, productive adult, but I agree that it's a good thing to do for many reasons; it's something I try and do.

Even if I took every step outlined, it would have, effectively, no impact on the environment.
I agree the BigQuery and Snowflake are very nice options for an analytical database.

I've used Postgres's FDWs for an analytical DB at a past job. The reason we used them was because we needed minimal analytics for the projects, and didn't want to deal with a more complex data pipeline solution. It sounds like the author was also trying to avoid a more sophisticated data pipeline solution for as long as possible.
Ah yes, welcome to 1998 again.
Terrible companies doing stupid things to filter out browsers instead of making browser companies do the right thing.
I'm really not clear on what you're advocating here. Going out in public without a mask increases the risk of transmitting the virus to other people, possibly killing them. In this case one person's freedoms impinge on another's.
The LaTeX / katex embedding appears to be broken. I thought maybe they hadn't checked it in Firefox, but it also didn't work in chrome.

But, uh, looking at the geodesics page, the LaTeX in it appears to just be deriving the equation describing a geodesic, and then, not saying anything using that equation? Kind of odd.

In the main page, it makes and argument that, doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
It says that it uses the "insight" that the accelerations are too large to be actual accelerations, and therefore it must not actually be accelerating, but instead is following a geodesic, and therefore, in order for the path it takes to be a geodesic, it must be able to influence which things are geodesics.
I feel like this is essentially assuming the conclusion, and then from the assumption which is essentially the same as the conclusion, actually concludes the conclusion, and then calls the conclusion from the assumption which is essentially the same as the conclusion, "elegant", as if it is the major step.

It seems to me like the actual main step here, is concluding "the acceleration (wrt earth coordinates) is not actually an acceleration (in a relativity sense)", because if they were, they would be "too large".

Like, what do you mean "too large"? Huh? I mean, maybe they are too large for normal explanations for a physical object moving around under its own power. But that seems like it would be the thing to argue! Argue that it is both a real thing which is actually accelerating (in one sense) so fast, and also that a real thing couldn't possibly be accelerating (in the other sense) so fast.

If A and B together straightforwardly imply C, showing that A and B imply C, doesn't mean you've shown C. You have to show A and B.

Edit: Ok, read the rest of it.
It doesn’t do anything quantitative. It talks about quantum gravity, but just says “maybe it could use light in order to alter the quantum correlations/entanglement between different points in space, in order to warp spacetime”. This doesn’t seem likely to me. I would assume that the quantum entanglement depends not only on the photon field, but on all the fields.

Also, huh, it seems like the author is inspired by Stephen Wolfram, and Wolfram’s current physics* project. It talks about “branchial space” and such.

It, does raise the question of “if spacetime is connected up through entanglement, what would it take to exploit that?” though..
> The US army is considering scrapping its new gender neutral fitness test because women have been failing in much larger numbers than men.

> Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions.

> An early Pentagon study showed women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65 per cent, compared with 10 per cent for men. Congress has halted implementation of the new test and the army has begun an independent review into whether it is fair. It has been suggested that the standard test could be evaluated differently for men and women.

Biology is a fact and for some jobs — like combat in the army — that biological difference matters and will manifest in any unbiased test.

I’m concerned by our inability to talk about facts.

If you're not allowing all cookies and allowing all JavaScript, today's web is pretty much in shambles.

I browse just with cookies limited to sites I have a relationship with, and it's… not pretty. A fair number of websites fail to load, or fail to load pictures. Twitter is hit or miss.

I'm working on a Web Extension that pretends cookies are enabled, and just black-holes them, or holds them in RAM for the single load of the page.
Mycle Schneider isn’t a trustworthy source. He’s an anti-nuclear activist with a clear agenda and a history of misrepresenting or obfuscating facts about the industry and its inherent danger.
You may have read some kind of normative judgment into my post which absolutely wasn't present. I wasn't trying to take any kind of side regarding any aspect of the Israel-Palestine situation whatsoever.

I'm just thinking in terms of technology and possible outcomes, from a purely pragmatic point of view. You might have just started reading my post by trying to guess which side I was more likely to be on, and then confirmation bias may have just caused you to interpret the way I said things to validate that guess. (I could easily see someone also coming to the opposite conclusion from that post, for example. But you and they would both be wrong.)

I don't think the language I used was "othering". I just think sometimes some things are talked about from an abstract, realpolitik-esque, mechanistic perspective, and sometimes things are talked about from a human and moral perspective. It's only a problem if you're trying to do the latter and you end up sounding like the former.

However, you do make a valid point. I only brought up the afterlife component, but due to what you say, they may feel cornered, like they have less to lose and are making a last stand of sorts, which might further bolster determination and willingness to risk death. So that's another factor.
Yep, took me a bit to figure that out.
I'd never heard of it, sounds like a fun way to find broken websites though...
I wasn't suggesting anything other than what I said. When the cost of conflict is high, people are less likely to want it. I personally don't have any strong opinions on the conflict in Palestine, especially not anything prescriptive.

The one response I'll give your perspective is: I think a better way of framing it is organized vs fragmented as opposed to rational vs irrational. Israel has a stable, empowered, central authority, while Palestine does not. To call the latter simply 'irrational' ignores the fact that it isn't a single entity, and may be composed of many rational actors with differing incentives. Even a single person can act rationally at all points in time and still appear irrational over some window. The more chaotic an environment, the less rational it's constituents will appear over a given window of time or geography.
Hmm, given its position in that sequence, it looks like it means a floating-point type larger than a double.
Even if Musk didn't own Tesla, I don't think SpaceX wants to pick a fight with the Chinese government unnecessarily. It would be a distraction from their core mission – which is to drive down the cost of access to space. Starlink's role in that is to provide a guaranteed customer to increase scale, and to provide profits which can be directed into further space ventures. Picking a fight with the Chinese government doesn't serve that mission in any way. If Starlink gets a reputation for being a thorn in the side of the world's governments, that's going to damage its success in countries other than China, by reducing the likelihood those other countries' governments will approve it.

SpaceX may or may not decide to bring Starlink to China. But either they will bring it to China following the Chinese government's rules, or they will geofence it so it can't be accessed from Chinese territory.
