More like half-millennia that we'll be dealing with the fallout from climate change. The next 50 years won't even be the fastest paced period of change. It's pretty bleak.

If there's a silver lining it's that on time scales of tens of millennia we might have avoided descending into another glacial period - which would be disaster for the northern hemisphere, erase Russia and Canada, and wipe out a sizable or even majority share of current crop production. It's tough to say if that would even matter to humans so far into the future, but maybe it's a small consolation.

The next ten generations or so are going to have some incredible challenges to overcome.
Specifically why I added the caveat of "at least in the EU or NATO". If you don't think they'd show up to defend Poland or Greece against attack, I'd love to see your rationale.

Does Emacs count? I don't know Clojure, but I learned elisp for programming emacs and I discovered myself the power of evaluating any part of the code I write on the fly, experimenting with it. It's really useful in practice.
Sadly, Ubiquiti. Since I was already buying access points from them I decided open source wasn't worth dealing with assholes and just bought an edge router x
Pycharm is a neat IDE. I know some people do not like IDEs but all the debug tools Pycharm comes with are killer and helps greatly when debugging on a local environment.
Wouldn't that happen in perpetuity for every generation growing up in technology? We want to shield our children from the rest of the internet, and so children grow up with an internet framed for them. Then, as they grow, they are forced to deal with the concept of the internet not being framed anymore and may therefore have some time in their teenage to young adult years where they may be susceptible to shit like eg. outrage culture.
Not your line of thinking, but I believe ferrofluids were developed to provide control over fuel in zero-g (i.e. a material that is elastic and strong, but that gets mixed with the fuel instead of encasing it)

I would like to know too. When sn8 crashed I googled and saw a quora article saying it costs $180 mil for each prototype. But this article says ~10 mil. Im assuming to ~180 mil number is the production version?

https://qr.ae/pGRZv0

It makes sense at $10 mil since they are pumping these out like mad.

Also NASA awarded $135 mil for the starship design so it can’t cost $100 for each of these sn’s right!?

Here's the thing: sometimes the lock screen on Windows 10 doesn't work and you can get back to the desktop simply by swiping up even when you think you should have to re-enter your password or PIN.

Note that I have face ID disabled because I got really fed up of my computer unlocking itself just because I'd gone back to my desk to pick up something I'd forgotten when I locked it and walked away. This always seemed incredibly insecure to me, not to mention very annoying.
Until you own the rights to the underlying object, it's not. Blockchains don't have anyway to enforce contracts. That's the rub.
Converting from epub to mobi or azw3 which are consumed by Kindle is easy. Calibre can do it and it can be even run from commandline. Problem with Kindle/Amazon is the "Kindle Unlimited" program which although profitable for authors, is bad for people who want to avoid Amazon's clutches, because it doesn't allow authors to sell ebooks elsewhere.
I don't see a strawman here. Care to elaborate?
Oh come on, this entire article is obviously about Latin typography. Other scripts are simply out of scope.

You'll find that nearly all typography articles focus on a single script they way. Often that's Latin because of its widespread use in the west, but not always.

It remains to be seen whether the Fed can, or will unwind the QE that they’ve performed. It’s not a given.
Actually yes - it implies that if the read/write executes, then the read/write was successful.

In practice, in cases where a nil read/write could happen, a default "fall through" option on a select statement is used.

They could have made the original interface return a possible error for reading/writing, in line with regular go error handling, but opted instead to use more channel-based conventions.
It turns out that they did.

I actually recently bought that last ever Airport Extreme with Time Capsule and wow, I'm pleased with it for the price I paid on ebay. Plus now I have backups of my personal and work computers! The only issue I've noticed is that you can't set discrete DHCP settings for your personal vs. guest networks, so my guests have to manually set their DNS since they can't reach my pi-hole that's on my personal wifi. But that's pretty acceptable since I don't want people to get too comfy on my guest network.

I would really love to see Airport come back with a 1-3 year old A-series chip, kind of like what they did with the HomePod. Except without all the AI/always-on microphone crap.

Not knowing the specifics, I'd imagine trust has just completely eroded for the workers where they always assume Amazon is nefariously working against them. Pure speculation on my part, but it's easy to understand psychologically.

This is also a matter of degree. How long a market takes to fully reflect available information is a range, from "immediately" to "never"
The free market dynamics you explained force the squeezing of margin which in turn squeezes time and energy from humans with a eventual race to the bottom to share that margin with shareholders. There are plenty of companies who decided to intervene and have learned to compete while balancing the interest of their workers, customers, and shareholders. Amazon is not one of these. The business model and Amazon’s key value of always thinking of the customer first will prevent the model from also considering the employee.

Global emissions are higher than they were in 1990, and higher than the average over these last 30 years. And still increasing.

Classic. But historically, advances in wages and advantages tightly follow the economic curve: Employers increase wages when skills and economic development gets better. Not correlated with unionization, even when the union is here when the paper is signed and brandish it as a success (looking at you, Congé Payés in France in 1936, many companies were already doing it when the union gathered with the bosses to say “We do it”).

Welp, looks like this turned sour again. Whoops! But hey, I tried, I guess.

> Can recommend again that you turn to books on this subject

Got any recommendations? In fact, I asked you this already, the last time you dickishly suggested I go read books (as if I haven't done that already).

Then go read Alcubierre's paper[1]. Expanding spacetime on one side of an object and contracting it on another is exactly what's being described. Maybe "without acceleration in the local frame of reference" rather than "without movement" makes more sense to you?

Now, I tried to be civil, and even went so far as to recognize when I stopped being civil, apologized for it, and tried again. Yet you still insist on being an asshole about it. Well guess what:

> There's no math here, just waffle.

Yep, "just waffle" is all you've contributed to this discussion, and by the looks of it all you intended to contribute. Gotta flex your intellectual superiority, right? Too bad you're - like me - just another guy on the Internet, so any such superiority you think you might have is illusory, at best.

> and I don't mind being a Jerk now

You clearly didn't mind being a jerk from the get-go. Probably because that's all you can contribute, but here I was hoping that maybe you'd contribute something else.

Oh well. Have a good one, I guess. Maybe next time we run into each other it'll be on more civil terms.
>I’ve considered trying to find ePub versions and then converting them to work on my Kindle—is that possible?

Calibre does this perfectly.

Alternatively, if you have a jailbroken Kindle - KOReader lets you directly read EPUBs.
Restarting is easy. But you know how it is. You get to your breakpoint, go forward carefully, and then step over something you should have stepped into. Oops, start again.
> I mean, as you point out, it's not always all that great for those within the US's pole, either. But to me, China and Russia seem to be more aggressive in asserting themselves in dominance over others.

Tell that to Latin America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...) and the Middle East.

China uses economic leverage. Russia uses subterfuge. America uses those with an extra helping of bombs.
Uh, back in high school a schoolmate found a huuge genitalia as desktop background on their laptop since they left it unattended and unlocked.

I can tell you, that person never left that thing unlocked ever again.
What you call "bad information" I call "a difference of opinion." And I call your attempts to institute mass re-education in "digital literacy" to "combat" this "bad information" suppression of free thought and oppression of contrarian and non-mainstream voices.

I wish sites would prefer browser-provided location to services like these. I'm constantly being placed in some random city five or six hundred km away, where my ISP also happens to have customers, even though I have Firefox configured to report accurately (geo.provider.network.url = data:application/json,{"location":{"lat":43.5,"lng":-80.5},"accuracy":1000}).
I may misunderstand, but I read it this way: The "pro-science" team is so obviously and transparently hypocritical and self-serving in their use of logic, become extremely defensive to any kind of criticism, and basically resort to name-calling ("they're stupid") anyone out side of the bubble.

This basically sets the scene that anyone can make any logic work and no one really needs to really think anything through - it's all just window dressing for the agenda. We act like it's only Trump that does it but he's just goofiest-looking, that's all.

I thought it was really funny in the picture accompanying the article, an anti-vaxer waved a sign that said something like "Respect my bodily autonomy" - we know where that kind of logic came from. Also, since that group was clearly anti-abortion, we knew it was just really poking fun at the "window dressing" logic that of pro-choicers that it is really about "autonomy".

I believe at the end of the day we've entered the phase of words mean nothing any more, we all just have our agendas, we want what we want, and we'll all just wrap it in whatever bullshit we want.
You want to turn off your device? What is next ? you want to read content that we do not approve( think at the children and your grandma)?

Seriously, this makes me think that soon you will not be allowed to really turn off your phone and other smart devices, then you will really have no choice then put them in your fridge when you waZnt to have a true private conversation/action.

I remember when the database guys were the high priests of software development and did their secret performance rituals in secret. Nowadays 99% of developers use databases without having a clue how they work and they are fine.

I expect the same for AI. 99% of use cases will be commoditized and easily accessible for devs and only a very small number of people who understand it in depth will be needed. You already can do a lot of cool stuff by copying code with some tweaks and I see this trend only continuing.
Amazon's proposal may be entirely reasonable. But I could easily imagine that it's part of a very sophisticated strategy on Amazon's part to ultimately undermine a legitimate vote.

I have trouble guessing which approach approach is more desirable in this situation.
>to track down someone physically, in real life.

That's not the same as having a consistent identity on the internet. You can easily think of an identity provider on the web that doesn't expose who you physically are, think of like a crypto wallet, or something like Urbit attempts. Having a consistent identity is what matters with an incentive to be a good member, we don't need to expose your real world name at all.

>It should be very difficult to keep others that you don't like out.

No, it should be very easy to keep people out, because that's the fundamental mechanism behind any community, defining its borders and limits. That's what freedom of assembly is. There should be many different communities and they all should easily be able to set differentiated rules for who can participate and who can't. This is the basis for pluralism.

A sort of free-wheeling over-connected hivemind like Twitter where it's either call the police or post what you want doesn't work precisely because it is not a community at all. The reason discourse has gone to hell is because there literally is only one and everyone's part of it.

That's why we're having a somewhat sane conversation on hackernews right now. Because this community is smaller, it's moderated, and we can to a degree escape from the shitstorm of mass social media. And that's only because the rules here are much more strict than they are on Twitter.
Yep, true on both counts.

Once upon a time, there were manuals and stuff that might have taught this sort of thing. Now, it's assumed to be intuitively obvious.
Starting comments with "lol ok" isn't in keeping with HN guidelines, by the way.

Some things cycle, and some things trend. Look up the CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and tell us: is that cycling or is it trending upwards? Look up the temperature in the past 100 years and tell us: is that cycling or trending upwards?

Judging based on your "lol ok", you may not be here to advance the dialogue.

Did you live like this for a period of more than 5 years? You just gave a snapshot from an ideal situation. Fact is, income is always less, spendings are always more. Don't know about the US, but in Europe living on minimum wage, trying to cut all costs, there is very little you can save.
Twitter is a walled garden service and is hostile to both their users and to people in the developer ecosystem. It does not even pretend to interoperate.

While this doesn't address the number one issue (the kid on the keyboard) it does provide a certain amount of accountability and transparency into how a public sector agency pushes their communications out into the world / digital commons.
Everyone knows that all “world records” are only since record keeping began. The difference is that in the US that means about 200 years while in Japan it means more than a thousand.
Doesn't every car manufacturer (except maybe Tesla) expose primates (humans) to vehicle emissions?
This totally makes sense. The US House is about 1000 (or more) members short.
Because they have calculated that turnover is more profitable than the cost of quality recruiting, training and on boarding. Firing people is super costly. The math of the churn and burn model is working.
On top of that even if we made cars (and other things) less polluting we still use xxx% more than 50 years ago.

I always use the plane engine analogy, 10 years of research gives you a 3% boost in fuel efficiency, during the same time you doubled the number of flights per day ....

Twitter expects users to control their own editorial process. There are apps to manage this. If none are suitable for government agencies such as US Strategic Command (!), this is low hanging fruit for a small startup to build suitable twitter publishing infra
Everything said above is true.

Supabase started Open Source , their GitHub repo had tutorials on how to host the platform yourself with a bit of documentation.
Basically from what I understood they've been growing SO FAST ( they raise 10+$M IIRC ) they had to make a choice between "Growth" or "Integrity".

Obviously it's a YC company , the market they're going after is massive , they chose growth over integrity and doing things "that don't scale" but that have "traction".

I agree with the author , the founders should come clear about the marketing and the status of Self Hosting and Open Source...
Supabase is no where near Open Source as it promised when it was published on HN few months ago... It's getting closer to a "MuleSoft/Serverless Inc" type of thing that lets you connect your own providers...

Don't get me wrong , I'm saying this because I'm an Enterprise Architect in one of the largest Bank in Europe , I desperately need an Open Source Firebase Clone to move 300+ Developers and Business Analyst into a Cloud First / Product Focus model away from legacy Cobol Enterprise App, Supabase seemed the ideal candidate.

Unfortunately it has been a huge deception.
Read the grand parent comment for the practice I was referring to. Or are you just trolling?
here's the thing too though... even if it doesn't kill you there are many food borne illnesses that don't show their effects until many days later some even over a month later so the pizza borne illness wouldn't be tracked back to that. it's almost impossible to track those back to their sources unless you have an outbreak of it. now a quick acting food borne illness would have a more quick cause and effect that would aid in diagnosis.

For whatever reason, fruit trees are really ascetically pleasing. I suspect because humans have been selectively breeding them for so long. Interesting bark, flowers, leaves, and colourful tasty fruit. I think they are remarkable achievements of human innovation. Cherry blossom trees no longer produce edible size cherries just flowers. But I noticed how much longer cherry blossoms last on the West coast, which I believe is due to longer cooler summers.

In addition to radar, gps, gyro.. they likely also have terminal guidance radio very similar to what airports use for guiding airplanes to the runway in fog/cloud. See Instrument Landing System. They may use active radar reflectors, and if they do, I'd say that's a different form of the same basic idea (using fixed radio sources to calculate an expected landing position.)
Which Corolla did you drive as the new ones are pretty performant? I've got the 2 litre hybrid with 200nm torque from each engine and a combined bhp of 186 (could be ~305bhp and 400nm of torque if remapped as it has a 2 litre 200bhp petrol engine with 200nm of torque and a 105bhp electric engine with 195nm of torque but you'll lose linear acceleration and the fuel efficiency that Toyota equipped it with) with good mpg, MacPherson suspension at the front, and multi linked individual suspension at the back, lower centre of gravity and 52.5:47.5 weight distribution for better cornering (and cornering assist). All in all a nice car that is pretty performant and has good features.
