Can I just get FIDO2 1-factor-secure auth? I know Yubikeys only store 25 slots for this but I feel if more services adopted it we would see that 25 go to 250 in the next rev.
Disagree with the swamp part. See it as a staging area for the warehouse and data science. If you use your data lake as the source for your warehouse then you’re forced to keep it clean. Also, for data science use cases you need access to the raw data and the what’s in the warehouse, much easier if the data lake can be used as opposed to essentially building one anyway.
Natural ecological processes rarely play out to this extent on a 10 year scale though. And the problem with the bull kelp species is that it is in and of itself a complete ecosystem to so many sub species below it.

Yes.

I disagree that DST is as bad as personal rescheduling. People aren't currently having to reschedule work, school, daycare, etc, twice a year.

Yes there are some problems, but they don't end up in disagreements like "sorry, I can't let you adjust your shift" or "sorry, this daycare doesn't have those hours, you'll have to find a new daycare" or "sorry, this bus only operates at these times".

Now I'm not saying removing DST is actually that bad. We could remove DST without expecting people to reschedule everything. We would lose daylight during some periods of time, gain it in others, that's it.
Airbnb and Stripe are both W09 and S09, respectively. Brian Armstrong worked at Airbnb before cofounding Coinbase, which was S12.
> Some people don't want to engage in those discussions because they're hard and/or unpleasant. They not required to, and can freely leave them and ignore them.

They did leave, and then they made the new space where those discussion are not tolerated. We are talking inside one of such places.

Some people don't want to understand that there are discussion places which limit certain topics. They are not required to, and can freely leave and ignore them. They have plenty of other places where uncensored discussions can occur.
Hi, I think it's quite popular for crypto startups employees get paid by crypto currency, either by stablecoin like USDT, or other volatility assets like BNB (many Binance employees accept BNB as a payment for salary).

Besides that, it's also common for cross border payment, which is much cheaper and faster. Here I mean stablecoins.

I prefer my jacket News with moderation. Section 230 is what allows sites to moderate. Without it you have to have either no moderation, or perfect moderation.
It's open source, you can provide your own distribution of it.
I've noticed it getting worse over the past couple years. It's annoying af!
I think the point here isn't whether this is ready for commercialization and practical consumer use immediately. The point is they made something that works and is easily comprehensible as to the kinds of things it makes possible. That's really impressive!
180 Euros for that? That doesn't seem right.
Our system was originally based on noon, not midnight.

I don't think most people really care about sunrise. Humans don't seem to naturally rise with the sun. I don't know anyone who plans their day based on when the sun rose.

You'd have 3+ hour swings in what time meant from December to June.

Seems worse than even daylight savings time.
> I believe the first time I landed on the website it was not published under an open source licence, which at the time was a deal breaker for me

For the record, this was never really true. The backend of dmd (the "main" D compiler) was unfortunately not under the same licence as the rest of the compiler, but the code has always been available. The GNU and LLVM backends are both fully open source and are faster anyway.
"Manage Your AWS Account from AWS Lambda with AWS Chalice" certainly sounds a bit kafkaesque. To make everything simple you just have to put an AWS thing in your other AWS thing to manage your AWS account ...
While I agree with you I still think much "lack of progress" is down to mismanagement.

I enjoyed MWO a bit. But after sooo long it didn't go anywhere other than team deathmatch.

Really?!? A whole universe of lore. Of heroic stories and legendary characters. Many novels (some better than others admittedly) in the same universe. A whole aerotech and space warfare angle never properly explored.

So. Friggin'. Much. They. Could. Do.

And they stopped at team deathmatch.

The owners strangled the IP with zero ambition and maximum "for the dollar" care...

HBS - who seem to be good at the story telling side - seem to be convincing them otherwise but it is well past due.

Played Battletech game for many hours. Much of it with mods made by the people who care.

I am still waiting to buy the latest Mechwarrior, after it comes out on Steam. And after the modders fix it. Maybe September.
The modern central banking/inflation/'debasement' conspiracy theorist is interested in a return to a gold standard - that is, paper currency that is backed by reserves of gold, as (kind of, sometimes) existed from ~1850 to 1950, rather than a return to currency actually physically containing gold (or, more usually, a metal other than gold).

They are not the same, but speaking about them at a high level abstraction allows one to pretend that there was some continuous system in place that was abruptly overturned in recent times, for ostensibly nefarious reasons.
I just find it amusing that the very source of the problem (humans) are themselves positing that they are also part of the solution.

Why kid ourselves? 8+ billion humans are going to consume, and keep consuming, endlessly. The ONLY actual solution that involves humans is expansion. We either expand to another planet / galaxy, or we ride this one out to its (and our) death.

That's why we should prioritize science more as a collective. We need more Elon Musks with giant aspirations to really move the needle.
Does anything have value besides your feelings? Then yes.
This would have been a lot better with examples in the form of rendered images or perhaps even a video. Maybe it's just my lack of background in graphics, but I had a lot of trouble grasping what the author was attempting to communicate without a concrete example.
Sensational title.

> every euro invested in new nuclear power plants makes the climate crisis worse because now this money cannot be used to invest in efficient climate protection options.

This is a weak argument.

The article makes a good point, which is that renewable costs in some countries are lower than nuclear operating costs. But this alone does not justify the claim that nuclear power makes the climate crisis worse.

Then the article delves into politicking. I get the feeling that that was the original intended goal of the piece.
> It's pretty clearly not bad, given how many successful languages use it. Java, C#, C++, Kotlin. Windows, macOS, KDE, GNOME. They're all mainstream OO and for good reasons.

C++ is more of a multi paradigm language where the designers (eg Alexandrescu) actually publish books telling you to focus on algorithms and generic programming rather than object trees. KDE/Qt reinvent messaging on top of the default OO, don’t they? There’s something about slots.

> There's no comparison between a clean OO API and the de-facto standard state before that, e.g. POSIX, Win32, Carbon.

Don’t know about Windows but POSIX and Carbon were as OO as they needed to be - a function where the first parameter is a “file” or “context” is being object oriented. There were actually several attempts to replace Carbon with more OO APIs, that used heavy implementation inheritance, like Taligent and MacApp and they failed because they were too complicated. Cocoa succeeded by using messaging and composition instead like Alan Kay wanted.
I think it tastes just fine, and from my plebeian uncultured perspective it's just as good as a $20 bottle. Better, even, because you're not paying a huge mark up. I'm half convinced that wine connoisseurs are fooling themselves when they claim that they can tell the difference between cheap and expensive wines.

It also doesn't take an economist to figure out why this product sells well. The only other place I've seen wine this cheap is in Italy.

What's wrong with the good old method, "separate communities"?

A group of people talking about sports will reject (or moderate) people who want to talk about latest programming languages.

A group of people talking about computer-related stuff will downvote and flag non-computer news about latest sport game.

The global discussion forum without any moderation does not live long. We can moderate the entire world if we split it into many small parts and give member power to do so.
I think that correlation can be somewhat misleading, given that there has got be a strong correlation between timing of when those companies launched and their choice of initial programming languages.

I mean, nearly all of the top companies in that list were started in the very late '00s and early '10s time frame, when Ruby (and to a lesser extent Rails) was (a) very well established and (b) known for being a high-productivity language for small teams.

For example, NodeJS and Go barely existed when many of those companies were founded (or, in some cases like AirBnB, didn't exist), so I definitely think there is likely to be a different list of languages for top startups in 10 years time.

I do think, though, that it is definitely no accident that languages like Java and C++ appear way under-represented given their prevalence in the industry at large. My personal theory is that what is most important for developer productivity is the feedback loop between making a code change and being able to see that change in a running application. Scripting languages make it often as trivial as saving a file and refreshing, while compiled languages can, in addition to having a costly compile step, also have a very costly deployment step. I remember in the early 00s the painful experience of editing Java code and waiting nearly minutes for a local deploy step to get that code running again.
I wouldn't mind if it were one of the modern meltdown resistant designs.
As the article makes very clear, the problem isn’t the change, but DST not aligning with circadian rhythms. DST is fundamentally hostile to human health. The entire second half of the article, starting just before the section labeled “Time Out of Time,” goes into the science on this. Conclusions:

“‘It’s not one hour twice a year. It’s a misalignment of our biologic clocks for eight months of the year,’ says Beth Ann Malow, professor of neurology and pediatrics at Vanderbilt University.”

“The American Academy of Sleep Medicine published a position statement on the subject in October. ‘Permanent, year-round standard time is the best choice to most closely match our circadian sleep-wake cycle,’ said lead author M. Adeel Rishi, a specialist at the Mayo Clinic.”
Why do you need beasts of burden to develop industrialized society?

In terms of agricultural resources, you don't need the plow to effectively farm the land in most of urbanized Pre-Columbian America (the Great Plains are a different matter). Aquaculture is a wonderful supplement--it's suggested that the founding agricultural crop in the Norte Chico region may be a flax instead of a staple food crop, and the early date of its monumental architecture may predate agriculture for food (although this is very much in debate right now). In terms of population, Tenochtitlan achieved a size greater than all but the very largest cities in Europe, and had no issues feeding its population out of the resources in the Central Mexican Valley.

It's also not necessary for trade: the vast trade networks of North America are pretty well-documented, and they continue down into the Caribbean, Mesoamerica, and South America. Indeed, it's been suggested that pottery was introduced to the Mississippians via trade with Amazon tribes across the Caribbean. Waterborne transport makes a lot more sense in the Americas: the Mississippi and its tributaries provides a strong link for much of North America, and of course the Amazon region even today relies almost entirely on water transport. If you look at Andean civilizations instead, the topography makes any form of cart completely impractical, and llamas and alpacas were already domesticated for use as pack animals.
You use a brushed DC motor where the field coil is in series with multi tap resistor bank controlled by the throttle. That's how it was done with electric golf carts before 1990.

Basically you use resistors to control the current in the motors field coil. Because the field windings have a lot of turns the current is much lower than in the armature. The armature is connected directly to the battery via a forward reverse switch.
> Why should I have to endure life threating extra risk for something that's a trivial inconvenience on your part like wearing a mask?

This question can be reasonably applied to any restriction on anyone’s liberty and the answer is that we always have to strike a balance and there will always be people like yourself who are unhappy with where that balance lies.

> I have to say that this kind of me-first libertarian thinking is a big part of the reason I choose not to live in the US anymore.

I’m glad that you sought out a community that strikes a balance more to your liking but you should probably consider that libertarians in the US do not consider the balance between personal freedom and social risk in the US to be representative of their values. The US is a neoliberal country, not a libertarian country. And that’s fine, and that’s also not for everyone, people who find themselves too far from the center of discourse should find a community where they are more at home. The world is a big place.

Why not have a little dinghy where the operator is and then under the water, like 10ft deep (or deepers, or adjustable length) you have an underwater pod carrying the load along with supplementary motors that are tied into the dinghy's onboard motor?

I really like Google Cloud. I use docker and deploy it on cloud-run which works like a charm since it auto-scales and I never had any problems with it. I also find Google Cloud environment easier to work with than AWS. I've never tried Azure so I cannot judge.
I don't know anything about GDPR, but I guess at most it will protect students. If they only record professors while giving lectures, that can't be illegal, can it? And I'm sure the professor cannot withdraw consent for sharing the video anymore than an actor can withdraw consent from appearing in a film he had played in 10 years ago.
Well funnily you still have never heard him speak.

The video description mentions that Gould had to be overdubbed with someone else’s voice because his original English language audio had been tossed out. The video is from a Russian TV program that had dubbed him in Russia and had no use for the original audio.
Domestically building something like this and maintaining it is almost impossible. People have freedom and they will switch to Google (or a better site when it happens) irrespective of what Govt desires.
And that's why we have driver licences, clean air laws, NRC.

You can't just subject other people to risk because you want to, since it is the community who is going to pay the price, it is the community that decides how to restrict the rights.

(Granted, the process for making that decision is not always the best, but unfortunately this is the only one we have)

Super happy for the Stripe team. They deserve this.

I have worked in payments for over 10 years and I can tell you Stripe changed the game, made payments better and made it accessible to all.

Before Stripe payment processing was a nightmare. Payment processors had overly complicated APIs and poor documentation(if at all). The fee structures were intentionally not clear and plenty of them had minimum processing amounts and/or monthly fees which made payments processing (outside of PayPal) inaccessible to companies or individuals that lacked capital.

Stripe fixed the sh*t show that was payments by creating a really good payments API with clear documentation and a fee structure that was clear and affordable for even the smallest of companies.

Next Stripe created Atlas. Now let me tell you something, as someone that does not live in the US, but had a startup, this was huge. When I had a startup, and was looking for a local payment processor that could process in the US, they wanted to charge me thousands of dollars just to get started and that is when I personally knew a large chunk of their senior management.

Atlas (which I have never been a customer of) made the opening of a company in the US easy a which gives me and countless others access to Stripe, an affordable high quality payment processor.

And I can go on and on about the other things Stripe has done to make payments and finance on the internet better (connect, capital etc.).

Watching the Stripe rocket ship from a far has been amazing. They are changing payments and finance and I look forward to seeing them continue to innovate and push the limits of what can be done.

Congrats Patrick, John and the Stripe team.

Which I get, but why not choose a displacement hull that's designed to ride through the water as opposed to the over it? Even fewer problems to solve. They could use a smaller, quieter engine with no stern drive I/O leg needed (more reliable, less moving parts etc). My only theory is that these boats may be designed to plane (once the ballast has been dumped) to get away from threats at higher speeds.

Damn, as someone who has been working on a side-project for the past 7 months and have been releasing it through the past one month, this resonated with me a lot. I actually work part time for a company which treats me really well and appreciates my inputs and I have very constraints when working there and they encourage the things I come up with.

Recently I've been thinking about fundraising but I haven't figured out a monetisation strategy yet so I've been pondering about it. But I work 4 hours a day on my side-project and I read your article and had the epiphany that I can work part-time on this till I figure out monetisation on my side-project. Really appreciate you taking your time to write this!

I started free diving for abalone along the Sonoma coast in 2008. The first few years of diving were plentiful and majestic. But my friends and I noticed the changes around 2015. Less sunflower stars and star fish. After some red tide events, the abalone die offs were crazy. Coves that used to have abs stacked on top of each other were almost empty. Finding a 9” abalone became a chore. The thinner kelp forests meant less fish, less life. It’s been difficult to watch first hand. I get sad thinking about the reality that my children will most likely never see the underwater forests that filled my soul and gave me a deep love of the ocean. I hope we can help the system get back in balance.
But that's not what I said.
This is in fact a common strategy. Often the “submersibles” aren’t self-propelled and are basically underwater barges trailing a fishing or leisure boat.
