Because the world has been failing, for decades, to move grids away from carbon and towards zero emission technologies. And there is no end in sight.

If we could get all electricity generation to be zero emissions then climate change would be largely solved. And we'd be able to stop complain about btc. But until then...

I think the issue here is how well connected such a port would be. From Rotterdam you can go all the way to Germany through a river. Not sure you could do the same from a port in the Mediterranean, as the terrain tends to be mountainous there.

The electrive article even cites a very optimistic study that assumes a high share of renewables to fill the Tesla. Other studies see quite more modest gains of EVs, e.g. https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/comparative-l...

Edit: In contrast, the gains of public transit vs. individual car commutes are > 7x per km driven, before renewables: http://www.mobilitaet-in-deutschland.de/pdf/infas_Vortrag_if... , page 18 (German source, sorry, "Bus" == bus, "Bahn" == train)
>Advanced instrument makers tend to work closely with artists, while there's a much larger market for cheaper, utility builds than ever.

It's just a function of many instruments becoming commoditized, which is overall a good thing. I bought a new electric guitar for under $200 last year and it played great out of the box. That didn't used to be possible.

It is an estimate and an average. It might actually be in the low end.
I like this idea. I miss being in a separate environment from home, and prefer being around other people. I don't want to give up the options remote work gives you, living in a smaller town, so I could see co-working spaces and hub offices and the like being popular in the future.
Many of my colleagues work from there but afaict only support type roles perform well in that environment.
my lifestyle is middle class in the midwest. Why do you think a $1.99-$5.99 is a luxury?
You just made all of this up
They don't have to provide stories, just a working website, and most already do. The problem lies with authentication. Banks used to do authentication by providing a stand-alone card-reader for your debit card that basically generated OTP challenge responses using the private key on the chip.

But banks see this is an expense that can be cut if everyone would just use the Android or IOS smartphone they already own (conveniently making the customer pay for the hardware), and when you have that support in place, you would want to be able to do the actual banking on your smartphone too — not just authenticating. So now banks have two apps and a PWA they must maintain, along with the infrastructure for the dedicated card-readers.

So at this point your bank is asking all the people still using card-readers to please consider using the app, so they can kill off that feature. Dutch bank ING tried this when their old authentication method needed replacing (they where one of the last banks still using SMS tokens). Their approach was to nudge/annoy/scare customers into using their app for a year, but in the end they folded and grudgingly had to provide stand-alone card-readers as well.

Some of the newer small digital only banks in the Netherlands are 100% app only though, and the bigger banks are quite jealous, but can't just drop support for their existing customer base.
It raises questions of systemic injustice. If there is a demographic discrepancy, it is worth asking why.
>Why is everything politicized to extremes.

Everything is political, "politics" is just shorthand for "this is how I think people should be treated". Politics is about how we structure and interact with society, so of course it permeates everything.
There’s another obvious choice here: stay out of the road, or accept that it’s a dangerous place to be.

Is a pretty good testing framework that we use at my workplace for a dockerized microservice setup. Requires some config but has mocks for most of the big services (specifically RDS looks to be in their paid tier, but we get along w/ the free version just fine.)
Browsers accept a root CA with long lifetime. Certs signed by CAs installed by the user or admin also allow long lifetimes (probably will still for a while).
Cities generally want poor neigbourhoods to get developed and upgraded; if a poor neighbourhood becomes a rich neighbourhood, that's a win for the city, no matter if it's populated by the same or different inhabitants. Cities can focus and redirect development in various ways, but they are explicitly redirecting that development to the poor neighbourhoods because they don't want these neighbourhoods to stay poor.
What sarcasm? I was talking about the historian's epithet. This moderation by snark and bad faith doesn't engage readers.
Agreed. The most effective solution to this problem is designing infrastructure that intuitively trains people to drive better - narrower roads force people to pay more attention, for example. More speed bumps, more roundabouts, lower speed limits and better enforcement, etc.
Stop telling devs what to do
The FT makes no such claim, they state that the lots were destined for AZ distribution site in Belgium and that the local company has no further knowledge.

The comment about COVAX is a general concern about EU export restrictions and not connected to the lots discovered.
Because socioeconomic status is correlated to race due to a long history of racism. That socioeconomic status impacts where people live, street designs in those areas, parking availability, whether people drive, walk, or take public transport, etc. All of these impact how often somebody is on the squishy human side of a human vs car collision.

You can't improve a problem without first measuring its impact.
If you don't like the risk this poses, don't use the extension. Your ability to make informed decisions about risk vs reward keeps getting chipped away when Google pulls this kind of stuff off. Google should warn you about the security risks (edit: or just remove it from the public facing store and only keep the hard to guess URL active) but don't tell me what extensions I'm allowed to use or not. Even adding local extensions I make myself are treated like a security threat with a popup every time I open Chrome.

Totally agree about "The passion ethos" - nothing gets up my nose more people who claim to be passionate about things that it really isn't possible or sensible to be, and who don't seem to know the meaning of the word, but just use it because it is expected of them, or they think it is.
Comments here seem to be missing the point. "Reopening" just means allowing people to come back to the office if they want to, but the cat is out of the bag and there is never going to be a practical way to force everyone to come back to the office. The biggest upshot of the pandemic for me personally is I was able to go work for a Silicon Valley company, except I live in Texas. And I'm not moving. I made it clear to anyone who ever tried to hire me that relocation is not an option. These companies took advantage to open up their nets to the entire country if not the world. They can't make their actual remote workers move, so there is no fair way to force the people who live nearby to come back. If some people get to work from home, you have to give everyone the option or they're going to revolt.

If they want to put an office near me, I'm glad to show up every now and again. But I'm sure as shit not moving to San Francisco.

Companies have to weigh the tradeoffs between whatever benefit you get from people being physically together when they're working versus the benefit you get from being able to hire anyone and not just people who either live within X miles or who are under 25 with no house and no family and will gladly move across the country for you without you needing to pay them seven figures for it.
The 1/3 assume that the bitcoins are never going to be used again, that is a very bad assumption. Let's be very conservative and assume they will be used once per year for the next 10 years, so instead of the 20+6=26 tons of CO2 you get 20/10+6=8 tons of CO2. (And you get a bigger reduction if you assume more more exchange velocity or that bitcoins will be around for more time.)

Also, the 6 tons use the coefficient assume a 1% fee but with a $40,000 transaction, you don't have to pay a $400 fee. Probably $15, but let's be pessimistic and assume $40. So 20/10+6/10=2.6 tons of CO2, i.e. like 1/30 instead of 1/3.

(Being more optimistic, I think it can be reduced to 20/100+6/30=.4 tons of CO2, i.e 1/200 of the savings.)
I'm still astonished that someone was writing Javascript on the browser and found the experience so great that he thought "I also want to do it on the backend!".

More seriously, I'll admit I'm not a competent Node dev but the worst part for me is how convoluted you have to write large parts of code that don't need to be asynchronous or non-blocking in the first place. I also never figured why sometimes Node just silently ends without pointing my syntax error (and more importantly the line number).

Like the author, in my mind Elixir is a better Node (Go never clicked for me).

Some weeks ago I had to write a feature that was so perfect for Phoenix Channels, Presence etc that it was almost magical and quite fun. Nothing groundbreaking but I wrote about it here https://conradfr.github.io/ProgRadio/

This is simply not true. Out of the box Outlook install does not display images for senders not marked safe, nor does Outlook Web App.
a broken clock is right twice a day too, and we like to see what we want to see in data. even if what you believe were true, you’d have to show it wasn’t mere random coincidence. mathematical models are no match for human behavior. it’s easy to find a model that seems to match reality once or twice on a short time scale. it’s likely impossible (the P=NP problem) to find a reliable model long-term (see: trading algorithms, and economics in general). even more unlikely is that lockdown is the principle force behind any perceived matches.

if you look at the wealth of information we have with a skeptical eye, you’d see there isn’t much support for lockdowns for this pandemic (which is different from mitigations like context-sensitive distancing). what is quite evident is that a lot of people are scared out of their wits even a year on (e.g., people wearing 2 masks outside) and cynical about other people (trying to kill grandma with their selfishness), and as a result want to believe in technofascist panaceas with all their might.
There’s more to the world than USA, for a start. And more than just middle class.
I tried some development-related queries that I have recently done in Google.

Queries related to Go seem to mainly work only if using Go and not if using Golang (unless "go" + term is popular outside of Go as well). Usually people use Golang in search (to avoid confusion with the verb & game), but pages generally refer to Go. "go package XXXX" seems to work better in many cases.

With a bit of lesser known technologies, it was hard to find a query that would get me to the actual site. e.g. Python SDK for OCI. Lots of links to examples with various queries (python oci, python oci sdk, python oci api), but not really any direct link to GitHub or the official documentation.
Based on your source, that seems very much up for debate. Also, those statistics probably don't include civil liabilities which can be significant. But... this quote says it all:

"While 25 percent of pedestrian deaths are attributed to the driver’s failure to yield, pedestrian behavior looks pretty bad too — they lie down in the street, dart into the road, cross improperly, and so on"

So it would make sense, at least ostensibly, that the majority of drivers receive little punishment. Now, in a place like New York, I have a hard time believing that in the majority of instances drivers are the only witnesses.
We had a rather average amount of turnover which might be high considering the concerns about the economy. I think one possible contributor is that more remote roles are available.
Certainly seems plausible as a hypothesis, would be interesting to look at the fatality data by make.

The insurance companies should have this data and I would be interesting to FOIA it if it’s not public
Yes, if pedestrians want to slow the flow of traffic and create a hazard on the road then they should have a license plate attached to their backs and should be expected to register, take safety courses, maintain a license, and pay taxes for their obtuseness.
I don't worry about port scanners. If your infrastructure becomes less secure because of a port scanner, it's not very well secured. Sending a REJECT is cheap, no DDoS opportunity and helps browsers and other apps fail over fast.

The recommended practise I've heard everywhere is that an ICMP REJECT provides no opportunities for an attacker they wouldn't have with 10 minutes extra time (modern port scanners can be set aggressive enough that REJECT or DROP doesn't matter if they have a known open port they can obtain an ACCEPT timeline from).
But you have to admit that some behaviors are inherently more risky. If the pedestrian is actively engaging in high risk behaviors...why is it wrong to point out those behaviors are higher risk and therefore potentially more likely to be victims of an accident. If someone sprints across an intersection at a green light with no warning to the drivers, isn't that more irresponsible than waiting for the light?
A Memo from Fedland (2006)
From the HN guidelines:
> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

It would be useful if you explained how or why there's a problem with OP's post.
My opinion is that we lack a culture of automotive excellence, and driving as a real “skill” is long gone. People operate vehicles with the bare minimum of requirements on roads almost devoid of any practical safety policing; speeding tickets and DUIs aside, I rarely see an officer doing much more to encourage good driving habits, and on some level I get it. Traffic stops are deadly and police would like to avoid them....but how else do you police traffic? Letters in the mail perhaps?

Driving is a skill, and if it’s not taken seriously or encouraged then it atrophies like any other skill. One of the best refreshers I’ve ever had was my motorcycle safety course; while I hated it because it was mandatory, it did teach real skills to help keep you alive on the road, and even if I found it boring, most of the people in my class were in dire need of that refresher.
I'm not quite sure what the destination is with this phone. This particular model seems to be for hobbiests who will use it as a second device for development, or purists who value privacy over all else.

I would prefer to pay double or triple for a phone that has all the opensource and privacy goals but also competes in performance and build so it can be my daily driver. I realize that we also want open standards and privacy for the masses but they will be the last group to adopt not the first.

If this is the secondary 'dev device' now because the platform isn't complete enough to be a primary, the price point makes sense. Can't wait for when it can be a daily driver. How far can you get with a good phone+contacts (voice calls), sms, and excellent web browser? Pretty far. Other apps are nice but they can be the add-ons.
5 months is crazy generous in the news industry. Everyone I know in journalism over the years has generally gotten 0 days to prepare and 0 dollars to cushion any blow.
Sorry, communication gap. I was only referring to the part -

"> can spin up a http service in a day

Surely this is a typo?"

I thought we were contesting that point only.

I agree that a lot of frameworks can do that. On top Node/JS also allow developers to do web/native(ish with RN) and desktop apps with great tooling, libs etc. this combo is hard to beat.
See my other answer, I agree that any attempt to compete directly with Apple’s model will fail.

The answer is to do things they cannot do, or will be too slow to do. This is unlikely to be possible for a company like Microsoft.
I got really into Node for a backend around 2015. I loved it, its execution was fast enough, I could speed through feature implementations, it was so much easier to build things compared to the 5 million line Java project from my previous employer.

Then a not-so-competent team member joined and it made working in JS complete hell. I had to be so much more careful on code reviews because there was no compiler to catch common mistakes, and still issues slipped through.

TypeScript is here now and that's great, it solves some of the issues I mentioned, but I moved on to Rust (and stopped doing web stuff for the most part) and I'll trade my implementation speed for easier code reviews and majorly reduced debugging time.
I don't think that works out. The statistic is that pedestrian deaths are up 46% since 2010. There are possibly scenarios where vehicle mass or configuration makes a difference, but cars and trucks haven't changed that much in a decade. A spot check of an F150 and a Toyota Camry don't really yield any substantial change in that time frame.
But I'm told that the benefits of coming in is the face to face, networking opportunities!

It's actually amazing how everyone in favor of offices only ever talks about how it's better for socializing!
You can create groups in pihole and select which devices can bypass it.
I'm not sure if you can assign specific lists per group, though
If you like the article, read the report. Especially the section, "How Can We Reduce Pedestrian Fatalities and Injuries?" There are many things we can and are doing to make streets safer for pedestrians, so it's alarming to me that fatalities have been increasing for over a decade.

The easiest way around this is to install a secondary browser (or use a profile in firefox, but that is cumbersome) for work. They could use a different DNS provider in that browser. I use Brave for this and Firefox for my private stuff.

Or they could ask their employer to pay for a VPN services that comes with DNS. Your family member will then have an easy to understand and easy to spot (VPN is ON) way to 'go into work mode' and out of it for private.
One Year to Flatten Life as We Knew It
'single most important' is maybe a bit much, but..

Privacy is not the only concern, phones are massively used (about a 50% of population) and we all use them for all kinds of purposes - and that part is also growing.

Not to have an open-source option for someting this widespread is not a good idea by my opinion.

> People on this site like overestimate the avg. persons concern with ....

The "average person" concerns come from "average" understanding of the subject. Average person didn't even need a smartphone 20 or 30 years ago - SF toys :)
I'm betting on this article being controversial here somewhat.
The point on OSS is hilariously true though. Like, everyone does realize that the tech giants just found a way to make the community work for them and to make money off the backs of it right? OSS is great for almost everyone, don't get me wrong, but in whole, the largest tech companies in the world have gotten an entire community to test, fix, and develop software for them at zero dollars. Small devs can make some use of it, but the gains mostly go to FB, Google, MS, and more. Those OSS contributors who believe their work is bettering the community based on the (entirely moral good) concept of Free and OSS who have had their house gaslit against them do not get paid for their work that the large companies gain from.

I almost feel like that for-profit companies of a certain scale should be charged a reasonable licence to use OSS software and that money should be re-distributed. I know there is GitHub Sponsorships but now that MS runs that, well, there went that. Large companies are parasites that have zombified OSS with cute "X <3s OSS" icons and marketing.

Beyond that, the bit on passion being a weakness is incredibly important. I have been mulling that over the last few years in America. Extreme political movements tend to cater to a popular passion that they can then bend to their will (such as religion) that they then try to tie their movement to it. (E.g. "You are not a [religion/passion here] if you support [political opponent here]", even when the usurper's agenda is not clearly aligned to the religion.)
Maybe it's the jobs that I've worked, or the country I'm in ( UK ). But I've really not seen this shift towards looking at portfolios of open source work rather than CV's. Every company I've worked for has requested a CV, and often does some form of test or in person interview centred around programming problems. The tests vary in quality and depth.

I wouldn't think of myself as a passionate developer. I have a family, I value my free time. I spend work time growing my skill set as it's required, anything else I do is rarely related.

I have a feeling that there's a silent majority of developers such as myself, that do enjoy programming and have a "passion" for it, but do not let this passion dissuade them from family time, or having more varied down time.

I think for a lot of people it's a dangerous game to be spending every waking moment working for a company, then spending your down time scraping together stuff for open source contributions etc.

I salute those that can and do though.
