The latter really. Lawns themselves are perfectly fine - if you need some drainage and soil retention assistance. It need not be the crazed monoculture but it can serve a function if you treat it as such. Going xeroscaped in areas with significant rain is a good way to lose your soil to run-off.
Well in case of public policy it's rather lack of trust in public policy. And in cases like Covid public policy should be ahead of science anyway, because there is no time to wait.
I think people abhor change in general. I grew up in Florida, and local Floridians hated the retirees and snowbirds moving in. Former rural communities with orange groves and cow pastures were replaced with massive planned communities that altered the character and culture of the area.

The Austin-Statesman noted that people in Austin have been complaining about change in the city since at least 1884:

"A few years hence the citizen of thirty years ago will be a comparative stranger in the home of his youth with no familiar objects to greet his eye save the eternal hills on which the capitol city sits enthroned as a queen in her royal beauty and the sparkling Colorado at her feet."

In a letter (not at all dramatically) titled “Passing Away” sent to the American-Statesman 135 years ago and signed “Old Citizen,” an Austin resident expressed dismay at the news that “the buildings on the north side of Pecan Street, between Brazos Street and the alley next to the Avenue would be sold and removed.”
Old Citizen lamented that “one by one the old land-marks leave us and but few of the original houses of Austin remain.”

You're not wrong.. but honestly I don't understand what people expect when _browsing the internet_. If "all my household devices come from the same IP" is a privacy requirement for you then you're always going to need NAT. And the advantage of your scenario disappears if any of those devices actually communicate with google's servers because then you can profile the requests, look at user agent, probably get different tokens, etc. Your nit seems so marginal to me I don't understand how championing this type of privacy paranoia is beneficial for internet technology. If you're worried about google seeing your traffic the answer is simple: don't send it to them.
In 1972, NASA landed astronauts on the moon for the last time. Coincidence?

Yes.

Edited to add: when you think of all the myriad social, demographic, economic, and political changes that have occurred in the last 50 years, focusing on some shiny yellow metal as some sort of first cause is an abdication of reason.

It actually pisses me off that someone is peddling this horse manure to promote their private money scams, and they have the brass neck to blame all the world’s ills on public monetary policy in order to enrich themselves.

Economics may well be the dismal science, but it is luminary enough to instruct us that restoring gold convertibility to the US dollar has zero chance of solving problems such inequality and government budget deficits.
It astounds me to this day that AWS doesn't have a heroku-style "five clicks to have a github repo deploying at a url" PaaS offerring.

Beanstalk ain't it, and they cloned DO's "create a VM wizard" (Lightsail) but still no simple GitHub oauth webhook build/deploy.

PaaS is such a great and convenient model. It seems a major oversight to me on AWS's part.

The difference with CS is that there's no one to trust. Everything you need is right there.

Other disciplines have people fake results. You can't fake a result in CS since people only really attack decidable problems, and you need no empirical results for any. It's like how even though mathematicians ultimately do make errors, Mathematics has no replication crisis.

However, most so-called 'hard' science are also full of knowledge that poorly models the world. Sadly, since most people who say this are also climate kooks, everyone will label you as a climate kook if you say this, though.

But anyway, here's a fun thread https://twitter.com/MicrobiomDigest/status/13740469245510328...

People constantly downvote me on HN for claiming that there are photoshopped papers out there. I'm not complaining about the downvotes. We make the culture of this place together and I can accept if I say things that you believe aren't right. But I am right.

Edit since rate limited: oh, I didn't consider ML. Okay, consider my position reversed. Yeah, the empirical sciences do have reproducibility issues.

I'm vegetarian and try my best to reduce milk and egg products (while having to feed kids and eat in canteens on occasion). But I don't really see any compelling reason to stop eating honey
Yes, some bees die during 'harvesting', especially when you go to the industrial scale. But just eat local honey from a beekeeper you know and that problem is minimal. More importantly there is simply no way to avoid insects dying for out food, unlrss you hand-plant and hand-harvest everything, and probably even then its impossible. I eat organic as much as possible. The best standards can guarantee that there is no toxins leaking into the ground, killing frogs, polluting rivers and seas, and making the soil a barren dessert, but it simply cannot work without bees.

I think the most bee-friendly thing we could all do is to eat as much (locally/small-scale produced) honey.
Space stations would also be practical, yes, but I'm not sure how desirable they'd be (for long-term habitation). Also, we don't really know the long-term effects of low gravity, whereas earth and Venus have similar gravity wells.

That left over bit is technically also pyrolyzed material because very hot fires create anaerobic conditions. Integrating it into the soil seems like a good idea.
A good deal of it probably has to do with how crazy customs gets in every single port, and how to properly insure goods. (Lloyd’s of London got its start in marine insurance.)

If your paperwork is mostly driven by other actors tech probably won’t help all that much. Tech has not made significant inroads in disrupting American health insurance, for example.

I find it kind of weird to have a different word for the same object depending on where it is. As I understand it, Jupiter would be a brown dwarf except that the presence of the Sun disqualifies it.
>(Also, this is the US military messing with itself. Someone in some skunk works hanger in Nevada has some secret weapon and they want to test it out on a real navy.)

This would seem to be a pretty likely explanation (near-infinitely more likely than ETs, at least). It'd also perfectly explain David Fravor's story of spotting strange vehicles during a Navy training exercise (e.g. how the craft seemed to have advance knowledge of a Navy meeting spot, and the reaction from his superiors).

He thinks it couldn't be US military, but if it's some covert/intelligence thing, doesn't seem too implausible that they may try to do a realistic, unannounced red team exercise during a routine training exercise. That wouldn't explain his claims of it performing gravity-defying maneuvers, but there's no evidence of that besides his and some of his colleagues' testimonies, though.
If we work under this assumption, then I’d expect all the living material out there to be of the same chemistry and origin - again unproven conjecture but I’ll be surprised if two life forms of completely different chemistries can compete on comparable levels in the same environment - one will probably always be more efficient than other due to fundamental limits on the chemistry of their constituent molecules; I feel like new life of any chemistry can only form in a sterile environment since pre existing life seems to find ways to harness all available energy in any environment quite soon. Thus if we have life of a particular form floating ready to contaminate any new planet, then it’s possible that life of no other form can form in that galactic neighbourhood!

So the Star Trek episode where they discover why all the species around the galaxy all have DNA based genetics is probably on the money if you ask me!
He’s onto us !

What the hell is wrong with A/B testing?
This debate comes up repeatedly on HN - HN is really not a good spot for it I don't think.

HIGHLY predictable behavior - some users like that. The apple walled garden, the apple billing flow, the AMP subset of HTML etc - all hated here.

Too many users have been burned by developers flying interstitial ads over the content (still happens) with a tiny unhittable x in a corner that comes in 10 seconds later. It's not the size of the content (that was already ranked), it's the absolute crap that hackers and developers shove down users throats.

I get it, you don't see or chose not to see the value in this. But there is value, at least for me and I'm sure many others started learning that the AMP icons meant less crap.
> So when it says Venus was hospitable for billions of years, let’s say 2 billion years, that amounts already to 14% of all there was and will ever be.

You're right. We're probably going to see an attack on a stadium full of people that involves a drone swarm crop dusting the crowd with a combination of pesticides and nail bombs.

It's amazing when you see it all, isn't it? IMO the slow process is communicating to product owners and IPv4-locked technical architects about how these things are actually supposed to work.
We're going towards Venus rather than Mars, though. So "veneraforming".

> Languages without strong typing, like Elixir.

Have you ever actually worked with elixir? In practice the (strong) dynamic typing of elixir is not a problem. I have not written a type error that has made it to prod in tens of thousands of lines of code. The last type error I made only showed up extremely rarely (once a week or so) and it didn't matter because the supervisory tree restarted the process that threw it. Guess what? I didn't fix it. No one will die and $0 will be lost.

There's very little ambiguity about falsely values and you can't arbitrarily coerce from one value to the next. That in and of itself cuts down on the type confusion, and also the fact that there are only about ten types. Even struct field names are compile-time checked for you, and I get little squiggly lines warning me about statically checked type errors in elixir-ls. Sure it's not perfect, but saying it's a cognitive burden is just... Silly.

> China just has a disproportionate impact because of the size.

Hugh no, fake papers and total disregard to ethics in general has always been a huge problem in China. Remember, China is still a poor contrary to what they claim, and its academic population is therefore small in comparison the rest of the developed world.
I think the parallel story lines in Godfather 2 almost make it incomparable to 1. 2 is also a bit slower but I feel the screenplay warranted it.

Either stuff could be manufactured in space or, light could be beamed down to the planet; I wasn't thinking of a solar array of photo-voltaic panels, but rather an array of mirrors and something to condense it into a deathray / beam.

The great thing about a solar array in space is it can be in sunlight 100% of the time, without needing to change orientation, and the shadow it casts needn't be on earth (i.e. nothing is deprived of sunlight).

The difficulty is that since the earth spins, and we couldn't beam down to the same location, so maybe we'd need an array of geo-statically orbiting beam relay stations to switch between.
Three questions:

1. How easy would it be to pay a container ship’s captain to do that ?
2. Can you then bet on short term commodity futures to benefits from the event significantly?
3. Do you think this is what’s happening ?
Out of interest, when would that code be used? When compiling for an architecture that doesn’t have intrinsics defined?

Bamboo sounds like something worth investigating.
I think, in Plan9 philosophy, if the desktop has a driver and it is started in the current namespace, it is represented as a file too (like /dev/my-printer/print-pdf). But it quickly becomes confusing for me:

1. Nowadays we can represent the essence of this approach with FUSE and SSH/SSHFS. Sadly, nobody does: local servers (i3, dbus, ..., vscode) use domain sockets and client executables, probably due to the lack of private namespace support by default.

2. The difference between hypothetical "/dev/my-printer/print-pdf" and almost-like-real-world "my-printer-print-pdf /dev/my-printer" looks similar to binding the first argument in OOP-style vs the explicit C-like call syntax.

It seems surprising that they took no action other than observing. The US Navy seems to get upset when other boats come near them, yet were tolerant of a UAV over their helipad?

Wouldn't a solar shield get heated up by a force equal to the amount of energy it's providing shielding for minus whatever it can reflect away? That would require some significant cooling even if the shield is 99
9999% reflective. How would you stop it getting too hot and eventually breaking down?
It really makes me realize HN is not user focused. You can have tiny code and fly a popover ad into a users face with a 20 second cooldown before the x to close appears. Users HATE this. Pages are ALREADY scored on speed etc. AMP was a subset of HTML that simply removed entire classes of features that hackers and developers abused to shove crap at folks. Honestly, the size difference, request count differences also were FAR higher than I expected on the AMP side as well - which also illustrated that developers left to their own devices will push whatever garbage they can - go to the media sites pushing the anti-google messaging - you are SLAMMED with trackers and crap on their regular sites. Privacy they yell as they track everything with MULTIPLE trackers.

There was a win with the AMP user experience. The fact that it had to come from google is embarrassing.
Yes, now just port Docker to Plan 9.

Of course society should accept a broader view of maleness and femaleness. Of course butches should be able to live as women if that's what they are. That is exactly the direction I want the world to go in. Why in the world would you think I or any other trans person would think differently?

My problem with GCs (in their strongest firm) is the policy prescriptions. Making medical transition harder. Making it harder to get updated documents. Opposing anti-harassment laws in our workplaces and schools. Not letting us use the bathroom in peace. GCs do a really slimy shift from policy to philosophy and back that indicates a deep disrespect for our experiences.

I know trans women who present quite masculine while being on estrogen and having changed their name and pronouns. They're butch dykes living as women, not men. They're literally exactly what GCs claim to want. But would GCs think so? No, because their brain is warped by oppositional sexism.

The GC position is absurd, untenable, and simply does not fit with the available evidence about humanity.
`cw` repo is https://github.com/Freaky/cw

`bat` is definitely a `cat` replacement as it has the essential functionality of concatenating files. The automatic paging is only for printing to standard output and it doesn't meddle with this functionality.

By the way, zsh built-in pager (invoked with `<`) has this behavior. It prints output to display but it pipes it to an actual pager if size is large.
Isn’t Snapchat also running on GAE ?
I may talk out of my arse, but my understanding is that the majority of the heat is coming from the inner planet core which can't cool to space due to the insulating blanket of CO2, not from illumination from the sun (something like an order of magnitude more)

so nothing will be practically solved with a sun heat shield, we need to find a way to break the CO2 somewhat quickly

but then we have the same challenge here on Earth....
I dont think this is as strong defense of that law as you think. It still makes fixing car or geeking on car punisheable. It still is absurd limitation of what I would expect to be a freedom.
No, it cannot. There is not a single instance reported of spontaneous plasma formation in a defect in a crystal, charged or otherwise. The electric field within a conductor is effectively zero: you cannot have the kind electric field required.

This would be very easy to see if it were happening: the brutal expansion of the plasma would create huge stresses and its high temperature would melt the material locally. This is just not happening.

You are also moving the goalposts again: there is no such thing as protons getting accelerated by a MeV just by interacting with defects; the mass of a proton is irrelevant; and you don’t have spontaneous plasma in a crystal. Nothing you’ve written in this thread is supported by reality.

I'm with you in that I refuse to have a back-and-forth conversation via text.

And most of the time, I love to have a phone conversation.

But, the mental state is not always there for it. I may may be in a low mood, or emotionally exhausted, or a host of other reasons why a voice conversation would not be ideal right now. When I talk to a friend I like to be able to engage with them and give them my best. Sometimes, it's just not the time.

So in such a case I would prefer to speak to them later, perhaps the next day after a good night's sleep. It shouldn't be a big deal unless someone makes it into one.

To have a complete accounting of the entire universe, we need at some point to have a mathematical model of the human mind and human society. If we did, we could then give a formal definition of "what it means to be American" or "what does seeing green feel like", and indeed "what is consciousness".

Regardless of what you think the mind is (if you believe, like me, that it is fundamentally a physical computer, or if you believe it is something else entirely), our picture of the universe is never going to be satisfactory until we can account for how we integrate with it. So yes, for every made up human notion, there needs to be some way to physically define that human notion, if we had a physical model of the human mind (even if that definition is as simple as "an illusion caused by such and such series of events").

It may well be that consciousness is not a fundamental concept in the sense that it is a uniquely human illusion, not something that could not be properly extended to non-human agents. But even if that is true, it doesn't mean that there can't be a precise definition of how the feeling of consciousness arises in humans, what properties of our minds make us think that we have this property and that it is important.
So I agree with this on a personal level, but I wonder if this is true for certain markets. There are a lot of businesses out there with opaque pricing (AWS is a good example, but there are smaller ones) and it seems like there are some areas where you can get quite far with very opaque pricing as long as the person buying is not the person signing the check, and the product is Mission Critical (tm) (even if it really isn't).
