>Climate change and greed were the motivations you originally provided for attacking bitcoin, but now you claim those things don't matter at all. You're being evasive.

False. The very first comment I wrote in reply to you was unsuccessful in its attempt to steer the conversation away from energy. Still, I never mentioned the environment nor climate change.

As for greed, I never said it didn't matter. However, you did try to misrepresent my argument and frame it as some type of war with preference for old money. That you knew my goals or some such.

Since you seem focused on my motivations, here they are:

a) I find people hoarding scarce resources to be extremely selfish and in poor taste. Especially when the intended use for said resources is intellectual in nature.

b) I believe the demand placed upon the GPU market by cryptomining fundamentally differs from the demand created by gaming. The former may never be satiable, due to perverse incentives that promote greed. With the latter, a single person is typically satisfied by one GPU every two years. They're two very different dynamics.

>The US is a market economy, and like in any other market economy, the solution is to increase supply rather to attack demand.

The problem arises when manufacturers are unable to increase supply to meet demand. Sometimes it makes sense to attack frivolous demand if that demand involves the hoarding of scarce resources. Government-sanctioned rationing is not unprecedented in the United States, nor outlawing ownership.

That said, I doubt that'll ever become a reality. However, I do hope manufacturers lock down their hardware such that cryptomining is rendered inefficient. Free market solutions and such.
Please see my other comment. I did further research and the problem comes because of drift. The lunar calendar would drift away from astronomical events, and this was a known problem, so they would occasionally add a 13th month to a year, but it wasn't done systematically. Also, there have been several attempts among scholars to create conversion tables for dates, and each of them have errors, sometimes up to 4 weeks. So which table did the researchers use? We don't know. And all of the conversion tables have errors, which brings me to my original point: making a claim that "this year is the earliest day of blossoming since the 800s in Japan" is scientifically unverifiable, because we cannot link historical calendar dates to current gregorian dates accurately before 1863, when Japan converted to the gregorian calendar.
the paper[0] mentions two other papers that go through the process of recreating the data and synchronizing it to the Gregorian calendar.

here's one of them : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00484-009-0272-x

> We really take the stability of our climate for granted. I'm sure future generations will not have that luxury.

But the climate was never stable. I don't understand why there is this inherent want of people to keep the climate as it is. There can be huge ecologic events (e.g. volcanic eruption, meteor impact, ...) that could impact the climate much more and much quicker than what human produced carbon emissions can achieve right now.

Isn't it a better idea to learn to adapt to climate change as opposed to trying to constrain the climate within some range we currently regard as ideal?

And just for clarity: I am not saying we should do nothing with regards to CO2 emissions. But I do feel we are very impractical at the moment due to the unwillingness to use nuclear energy, which seems the most practical source of CO2 free energy to me.

But at the same time it might be a good idea to be more prepared for climate changes and invest in building higher and stronger dikes in areas with huge populations, better systems to drain excess rainwater from cities and the like.

What critical functionality are you thinking of?

We used FOSS Kafka for yonks without hitting any limitations - At one point we were looking at Confluent Replicator, but decided it was just easier to go with Mirror Maker 1 (and you know, no massive licensing fees) - and Mirror Maker 2 largely emulates Replicator in terms of functionality.

I'm aware of a few other things like the MQTT KC Connector, but that was never part of Kafka in the first instance, it's something that Confluent built for paying customers.

And I could argue that the StreamNative "critical functionality" that they lock away behind enterprise agreements is "quick bug fixes for the many bugs we're still finding", if I was feeling mean spirited.

But anyway, it seems your preference for Pulsar is due to Confluent, but they're not the only ones offering managed Kafkas - AWS, IBM, RedHat, etc. etc.
The US government plainly said that they don't sanction high-level leaders when the Khashoggi Report identified Mohammed bin Salman's culpability in that murder.

The lesson we can take away from this is that if you want to murder someone, start climbing the ladder of elected (or monarchical) office. No wonder Trump could confidently say he could kill someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a voter.
He's literally spent >8 years of his life posting free videos teaching people how to repair electronics, which is a worthy cause in itself. And he's been doing this actively against his own business's interests. And if you watch him you know he hardly ever even asks for financial help. He's put up with a lot of battles through the years and he's had trillion dollar companies try to shut his business down, and his no-nonsense attitude has kept him going to the point where he has a respectable business that now lets him devote 2 more years of his own life to fight this cause. You really feel your evaluation of him is accurate?
False dichotomy - they never said he was inconsequential, just that his workers have done the majority of the work - which is objectively true.

If Bezos didn't need those workers - if he genuinely created every cent of value in his empire on his own, picked and boxed and delivered every book himself - why did he ever hire anybody?

As I understand it the aircraft has a quite complex relationship with trim because of fundamental aerodynamic flaws (engines are too far forward). Am I right in saying other aircraft e.g. an A320 would handle this sort of failure without as much risk to the plane?
Why though?

It's worth noting that Twitter built their own system (EventBus) that Apache Pulsar largely mimics in design (and the people who started Pulsar at Yahoo had worked on EventBus prior), with brokers decoupled from storage, and then eventually just decided to get rid of it and use Kafka.

https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/insights/2...

> One catch to this is that for extremely bandwidth-heavy workloads (very high fanout-reads), EventBus theoretically might be more efficient since we can scale out the serving layer independently. However, we’ve found in practice that our fanout is not extreme enough to merit separating the serving layer, especially given the bandwidth available on modern hardware.
That is already possible in ST4. It is controlled using the `relative_line_numbers` setting.
>I just tried it on a few sites and it either doesn't change much/anything or breaks stuff

This tells you you're visiting a site who's designer(s) don't want the user to control their browser. Ask them and dollars to donuts they'll treat it like the "doctor, it hurts when I do this" joke.

Look at the vitriol in the comments here, there is unmistakeable antipathy toward the user. Nobody is going to say they pride themselves on a user-hostile approach to web design, but a duck is still a duck and the vast majority of designers are still going to think in terms of pixel-perfect.

NATS is just ephemeral at-most-once pub/sub. It needs NATS Streaming or the new Jetstream for at-least-once persisted data and still has different semantics.

Apache Pulsar offers the same distributed log offering with a fundamentally better architecture, but Kafka has closed most of the gaps now and has far more integrations and a bigger ecosystem.
Configure and autoreconf may not be the fastest, but they aren't run frequently enough to really bother me. I'd have to disagree with the generated makefile being slow though, I still find it by far the fastest build system.

I've done the whole custom makefiles as well, but by the time you have tests, installation, etc it just becomes a burden to maintain them.
At a risk of sounding holier-than-thou, this is why I never cared to apply to FAANG like my fellow CS students did. You can spend your entire career doing useful, impactful work that helps millions of people and all it takes is one out of touch bozo in management to pull some embarrassing stunt like this to ruin all the trust you've built with disadvantaged communities. Of course this is true for all large companies, but nobody fights fire with astroturfing quite like big tech. I wish these people would get it together so we wouldn't have to be ashamed of working for them.
They had a coherent point and it wasn't buried in word salad. If you disagree, maybe you could express that with a few less whatever-words yourself.

On the other hand, steam will not stop collecting data about you if you ask.

GOG has much better policies.

For example, GOG sells some games that try to phone home. Many of these were games/franchises that did business with GOG, then were bought.

Take a look at the reviews for Kerbal Space Program, or Stellaris for some of the shenanigans that happened after a game was released.

But because their stance is no-drm and you can play all their games offline, you can block them and the game will still run.

There is no such stance with steam.
I thought they used surface-tension / capillary-action to move the fuel. Like with passive geosatellite heat distribution.

Think a radiator, lots of tiny fins, but all inward pointing in a tube. Coat the fins so they are '-philic' to the liquid. Get creative with the geometries of the fins. Surface tension / capillary-action spread over a lot of the fins in the tube will move the liquid to a sink, like the combustion chamber.
Original post has a comment by a possible 'black hat' who claims to have sold a cURL exploit [1]:

>[ZERO_DAYS_4_EVA] LMFAO, $100 isn’t much of a reward, especially since we sold a curl exploit to a third-party broker for much, much, MUCH more than that a few months ago. This exploit has survived multiple patches and your OSS fuzzer because the code isn’t being actively fuzzed.

'quite easy' is relative, and just because you can find some file that matches the hash, there is also a very high likelihood that the file will be useless. The chances of generating a USEFUL file(where useful means it does something, like compile, nefarious or not) and causes a SHA1 hash collision are very low... currently.

So to get a nefarious file that puts in an exploit or something useful for an attacker AND causes a SHA1 collision is a very very high bar to meet, currently.

Hopefully they replace SHA1 with SHA256/etc before the capability becomes feasible.
I guess it comes down to the question: Is programming an art or is it engineering?

I suppose not, if you are considering "we" as "the set of people that designed languages like Go or justify the design decisions made by such group".

It can be "a little of column A and a little of column B." Conditions being generally worse will hit some people harder than others.

Maybe it was at least partly general conditions. And I couldn't see that because my life being derailed was very in my face and I just figured that was the entire explanation.
Ask HN: How can I address confirmation bias on HN?
I joined the HN community fairly recently, and I've been really enjoying this as Reddit but reasonable, but I'm aware that surrounding myself in an online community where everyone has roughly the same interests and roughly agrees with me is a bad idea --- I specifically find that what gets to the front page often reinforces my beliefs on everything. For instance, todays top post, "Whistleblower: Ubiquiti Breach 'Catastrophic''', reinforced essentially (though somewhat tangentially) all of my thoughts about modern technology and politics regarding security, IoT, and often unethical, obfuscating, and opaque behavior in large corporations, among others. Overall, I've experienced far less dissent here than I would expect for a random sample of articles and posts at the scale of HN.

I view this as something worth being concerned about, given the frequency of high-profile conspiracy theories spread on social media (though predominantly Facebook). I think HN's capacity for conspiracy theories is significantly lower than something like Facebook, where groups of like-minded people are encouraged at small scales, but an echo chamber on any scale will have an adverse effect, at least in my view.

The common-sense counter-measure is to introduce more sources of news and information, but I'm simply not aware of one that won't use algorithms to dynamically determine the articles I read, introducing an identical variation of the problem.

I suppose I'm in part asking for a software reccomendation: a preferably open source, transparent, non-user-base driven news aggregator, but I also want to know if anyone has larger and more widely-applicable advice.

Thanks so much!

> Besides RaTG13 and RmYN02, very recently SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses were isolated from two Rhinolophus shamelibats (RshSTT200 and RshSTT182). These animals were sampled in Cambodia in 2010, and samples were processed for sequencing recently.(55) The whole genome comparisons indicated that these viruses overall shared the nucleotide identity of 92.6% with SARS-CoV-2. The results suggest that the geographical distribution of SARS-CoV-2 related viruses is much wider than previously expected.(55)Another study found related viruses in Thailand, in Rhinolophus acuminatus bats, where near identical viruses were found in five animals from a single colony, suggesting a colony-specific sequence signature.(55a)The above-mentioned bat viruses differ in their ability to bind to the human ACE2 receptor from RmYN02, but both RmYN02 and RshSTT200/182 share part of the furin-cleavage site unique to SARS-CoV-2. There is evidence of recombination in the evolutionary history of these Thailand bat coronaviruses.

So now there's two bat sarbecoviruses which share part of the furin cleavage site with SARS-CoV-2 and which show genetic evidence of recombination.

Combined with the fact that HCoV-OC43 an HCoV-HKU1 both also have furin cleavage sites and either coronaviruses are naturally swapping genetic material via recombination or else there is parallel evolution happening due to selection for that genetic coding and its arisen multiple times naturally:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187350612...

That pretty much kills the idea that the furin cleavage site "diff" between SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 is necessarily evidence of human laboratory experiments. Nature has apparently done that in many coronaviruses, including SARS-related ones.
I understand why you’d expect me to be dismissive, but I appreciate your taking the time to write this. Errors are certainly verbose, but I personally find the benefit to debuggability and readability (where could this function possibly fail?) worth it. I think the considered and hand crafted error messages knock stack traces out of the park. I think the pain of unwrapping a Result type, and the pain of annotatingbit with function specific failure information, would be a step down from gos error handling.

Again, I understand why my comment came off as a trap, but trapping you is only one of my intentions! I’m also interested in understanding where you’re coming from, so thank you.

They only state that they took the dates from old records and converted them to Gregorian dates. They do not say what method they used to convert the dates, and as noted here http://www.yukikurete.de/nengo_chronology.htm, old historical Japanese dates are not reliable and cannot be considered astronomically accurate. This whole paper is written assuming the dates in old records correspond to the Gregorian calendar, and that's simply not the case.

The historical Japanese calendar suffered from drift away from seasonal events because the months had either 29 or 30 days in them, but the actual lunar calendar is 29.53... days long. This was a known problem, and they would occasionally add a 13th month to the year to compensate, but this was only done when either the Emperor died, or when the Emperor said to do it (usually to commemorate some significant battle). Both of those situations means that the leap months were not added in a systematic way, so trying to back-calculate dates has errors. Several attempts have been made over the last 75 years by scholars to create conversion tables for this, but they all have errors and can be inaccurate up to 4 weeks.
Guys, this is a very common and well-known problem. It's been around for over 4 years now. The good news is that instead of nosediving into the ground the 737s can now land and be swapped out. The main take away here is that there are no more fatal crashes. This is a solid improvement for Boeing.
