I really did go without Star Trek! I had some small exposure to Star Wars, but what really grabbed my attention was the Neuromancer novel, and later the Matrix film series. Of course I'm cherry-picking my experience but it's a valid observation of yours that while I'm a technologist through and through, I often focus at its ugly side.
Cardano (ADA) Still the Favorite Altcoin? Think Again
Cardano has always been the preferred altcoin. While Cardano always went heads-on with Ethereum, another cryptocurrency has taken the lead. Read more to find out.
Technological solutions just lead to lifestyle inflation rather than footprint reduction. Look at cars for example. Modern internal combustion engines and materials are a wonder compared to the cars of 50 years ago. But did people reduce their footprint? No. They got bigger cars with more power output, air conditioning, heated seats etc.
There is and has been a solution for decades but the greens are against it.
It was restricting antibiotic, without pesticides and not more animals than you can produce food for them, with than less nitrates/pesticides and antibiotics flows into the water.

Copy/Paste Translation:

Initial situation

Farmers receive direct payments from the federal government. However, they only receive the money if they comply with certain rules. These include, for example, the protection of biodiversity, rules on fertilizing and animal husbandry.

An initiative has been submitted to introduce additional rules for direct payments. That is why we are now voting on it.

What would change?

If the initiative is accepted, there will be additional rules for direct payments. Farmers will only receive direct payments if they:

set aside a certain amount of their land for the protection of biodiversity;
produce pesticide-free.
refrain from preventive or regular use of antibiotics on their animals.
keep only as many animals as they can feed with the feed they grow themselves. This reduces the amount of fertilizer used.

Agricultural research, consulting, investment aid and training are also geared to these goals.

Shouldn't you be able to test an IC?
Phase changes over time of single a single tone are audible. If there is a linearly changing tone and the phase is not tracking exactly (I believe it is square, I'd need to brush up on my chirp math), this will color the chirp in an audible way.

Also the relative phase of multiple tones affects what the actual shape looks like. A classic example is a square wave. Yes, it needs all odd harmonics at a sinc(f) magnitude, but it also needs all of those harmonics at specific phases.
How Can I Get B2B Industry Email List?
It's not really as simple as larger pool -> easy replacements though. You might find a great remote candidate with great technical skills; but there's an 8-hour timezone difference, they speak poor English (or whatever language your team mostly speaks), don't understand the market that you're working with etc. Granted that there's not much of a difference when it comes to Canadians VS USA-ians, but that's where labor laws might complicate things.

There's usually stringent laws when it comes to hiring people (depending on where you are, I guess). The company I work for, for example, had to sponsor my work permit in the Netherlands for it to be legal to hire me, since I'm not a EU citizen. That's a stressful, expensive and time consuming process for everyone involved, and in general it's just easier for them to hire local talent since they don't have to bother with all the extra steps. I'm not sure of how that works exactly in the US, but I can't imagine it's any simpler or more convenient.

Now, companies might move onto hiring more freelancer type workers to circumvent these issues, but that also has its slew of problems. They're usually more expensive, you have to spend time and resources onboarding them onto the project, they have to get used to the project and its intricacies, they have to learn how the team works, the process for paying them might be different than your usual workflow, they tend to leave just as quickly as they came which compounds the other issues even more.

I think things will mostly progress as they always have. Sure, there will be more competition, but that doesn't necessarily mean that hiring non-local talent is the easiest way to go for most companies, plus as can be seen from any discussion about WFH on HN, there's a sizable group of people that don't enjoy WFH and would rather stay in offices anyways. The WFH crowd like me will be free to pursue a company that suits their needs, and the ones that enjoy WFO will still be able to choose those companies that prefer that. Win-win, in my eyes.

What Is “Ships of the Northern Fleet”?
There has long been a set of tooling to make Infrastructure as code around how to interact with the Cloud Services or Deployed System , But the tooling around that only failed us. I can give example Terraform State file with multiple developers (Its never agile when multiple developers waiting on each other to get a change updated) . Also more bad when the apply failed and no rollback can be planned as it's only one way change. Then with kubernetes we designed helm , applied changes are very config driven and God save you if you use conditional flow for multi-env deployments. More bad when you start to model the hooks in helm to provide some safety but you end up in a real bad state as helm failure update is not really runtime driven . Also we try to be smart on providing some values while deploying the resources but ideally they are never runtime so it just a pipeline effort to go and do something from vault somewhere but that vault is being updated by some external pipeline so we never have a real fix that is dynamic , ideally we need to be able to have a dynamic values driving the software in modern cloud driven world. we only need to be able to scale up / down the infra binary to use some of the tooling. Like for ex: scale (this is a binary) that accept some parameter like up / down and it is consumed by cloud resources. But idea is clear we need more dynamic software for developing, deploying, rollback, Run . @krisNova pen down the great idea , may we build on that to add missing pieces.
Remember that in addition to HTTP requests for the image that might appear in httpd logs, DNS lookups for the domain containing the user's IP address as a subdomain would be exposed to anyone performing passive DNS monitoring. Also, shared DNS caches run by third parties are quite popular.
Why do you assume it was a good law? Just because of its title?
Technology isn't magic, you can't expect to throw technology at something and hope it solves the problem.

Some things like e-waste just can't be recycled economically as it costs more to separate and recycle than you'd get back from the raw materials so who's gonna pay for that?
was useful to read, tnx. I'm huge fan of Instagram and I don't approve hiding likes. I follow many famous people and not so long ago I found stalk instagram service here https://snoopreport.com/ . It is Instagram activity tracker that helps to see anyone's likes on Instagram and check Instagram activity history. It helps to know better people I care for. Useful tool today.
> The thing is, even when it’s defined as some absolute measure, it ends up being a moving target.

Even if, that's better then doing nothing. At least it would help people. I'd rather be a 'poverty' person with safe housing and full stomach, than a today's 'poverty' person.
I keep hearing this term "requires a runtime" when async execution is thrown around. And on first glance it makes sense. On deeper look, technically all languages have SOME runtime behavior. And I don't know why we're so objected to it.

Presumably it can get weird when you call into a library and just blocks you. Thus informing us of the need of a common event loop. OS level. Which GUIs had from the get go, but apparently it's not just about GUI.
The initiative proposed to "protect clean water" by toughening the conditions on farmers to receive federal subsidies. The first two conditions were not especially controversial, but the third was a totally unmanageable show stopper: that a farm could only feed their animals with feed grown in the farm itself. People either voted against because their party told them to (plenty of parties were against it) or because of the third condition.

I get that, I'm not saying that you might be making the same specific mistake that I did (large whiteboarding sessions).

I'm saying you might be making the same generic mistake I did (assuming that because I enjoy something, and no-one is complaining, the whole team enjoys it). And that's purely because when you described it, you sound a lot like I did before I learned that lesson.

As you say, I'm making assumptions. If you're sure that you're not making this mistake, I believe you. Well done, you're doing better than I did :)
Is this a statement related to:

Which speculates some sort of leak that is being covered up. So I guess if it is a cover-up then it is being covered up by the French company's official statements as well.

In the scheme of things, this is short term. Market incentives for pushing performance are currently minor, but will have increasing influence over the next decade. Factors such As processing power hitting physical limits and energy prices as a result of climate policy will force engineers to build more efficient systems.
A strong commitment to backwards compatibility means keeping your mistakes
The opposite, we (well the government) pay/supports farmers who make "high-performance" farming, with that law they have to produce more in line with nature if they still want to be supported.
To me a microservices application is a monolithic application, with unreliable network calls between the components. That can't possibly make things simpler to understand or maintain.
I wonder if it's more inherent than just culture. Women are more, for lack of a better word, desirable to men than vice versa. A man can value a woman who does nothing but exist. But a man needs something extra to provide some value to the partnership. (The previous sentences are, obviously, meant as an statistical tendency, not a universal truth.) Thus, while the negative constrains on women were mostly baseless in a modern society (with violence and manual labor being increasingly devalued), the negative expectations on men are not as baseless. Of course, in so far as monogamy and the roughly 50% sex ratio mandate some kind of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol%27s_cost_disease, these cultural expectations will lower over time, but I fear that the tradeoffs of the male sex will continue to become more and more out of touch with what is needed to prosper.
> Turn almost any Python command line program into a GUI application

Why would anybody need this? Xterm is already a GUI application and you can run the original program inside it. What benefit is there?

What I'd like is the inverse operation: turn an arbitrary GUI application into a command line program. Now, that would be really useful! That would allow a lot of automation that is difficult with GUI stuff. It seems a really, really hard problem though.
successful then, I’ve even been reported to the FBI! The outrage being generated is actually fascinating. Why do developers see their work as so special compared to other labor? For example many workers clock in/out. Fast food workers are tracked precisely. Uber drivers are paid precisely. I think it’s very interesting that the idea someone could watch exactly how much time they spend working at their computer, which they are paid to work on, would get them so incredibly outraged. Special butterflies it seems to me.
> We are doomed

Please consider the possibility that you've just been taken in by an apocalyptic cult.

Suppose that you just had to go by the various metrics of human well-being, stuff like poverty, literacy, infant mortality, on and on like that. Would it look like we were doomed? No. It would look like the opposite of doomed.

Suppose you just had a chart of earth's history of global average temperature and CO2 ppm, and somebody told you that over a hundred years, CO2 ppm had gone up by 100. From the chart, would that look like an impending disaster? No. First, CO2 ppm and temperature don't seem to have much if any correlation over long time periods. Second, earth spent almost all of its history at much higher CO2 ppm.
The clean water initiative would have denied public subsidies to farmers who didn’t drastically reduce pesticide use.

The farmers‘ lobby and the right wing parties representing a majority of the votes were against it. The outcome was not surprising.
For many parameters it's not practically possible once the chips are binned and packaged at factory.

It's a perfectly reasonable explanation, but it begs the question as to why people want to hold an asset (class) with those properties in the first place.

For that you probably need a psychologist more than an economist.
The compression is not wholesale adding or removing frequencies, it is selectively lowering the magnitude and SNR. Overall, the RMSE of 320 kbps mp3 against lossless of many common and simple waveforms is very low. Certainly it is acceptable for something like birdsong measurement.

I would like to register my scepticism that Indian languages have not changed their pronunciation over multiple millennia.

My wife had a professor from India who spoke Hindi as a mother tongue. His wife, also from India, also had Hindi as a mother tongue but was from a different village. The couple spoke only English at home because it was the only language they had in common. You do not get that kind of mutually-unintelligible divergence unless the language has had changes in pronunciation, and profound ones at that.

It's quite possible that among a small subset of elites that languages have remained unchanged, but I think even that is highly unlikely. The Latin spoken by the educated elites of Europe at the time of the renaissance would have been unintelligble to someone on the streets of the eternal city during the republic. I suspect that such an assertion that the languages have remained unchanged for millennia is just simply not backed by facts.
Sony MiniDisc: The (Not) Forgotten Audio Format That (Never) Failed
Low light performance is also very nice in some phones. But what I'd like to emphasize is how automatic it all is. Surely someone with an entry level DSLR and a bit of Lightroom know-how can outperform an iPhone 11, but it's work to carry it around and apply the postprocessing afterwards, while on the phone it's just a few taps. So what I'd like to say is that it's not an achievement in imaging, but a big leap forward in automation.
Those “money masters” are responding to market conditions. If the market demanded greater efficiency (eg. Through climate policy for example), we would quickly see a change in priorities.
I really suggest you read up on management styles and leadership.

Again, you sound a lot like I did before I got my eyes opened. And the leadership stuff in my MBA really helped me to see where I got this so badly wrong.
It is letting pitchers throw pitches that are on the edge of what they can control. Also, when pitchers throw balls the same way they have for years, changing the way balls move in ways the pitchers haven't been able to account for. The result is that the number of batters hit by pitches has gone up, and some of them have gotten seriously hurt (orbital bone fractures, broken noses, etc).

RISC-V Evolving to Address Supercomputers and AI
Good ideas are ridiculously hard to find really and also extremely important. However most people with ideas don't have good ideas, and they can't recognize that their ideas suck so we tell them that ideas doesn't matter rather than the truth that their ideas suck.

Example of a good idea without good execution: Minecraft. Billion dollar product that could have been made by any half competent game engine programmer with some game designer friend. If anyone have an idea like that I'd love to build it, but they almost surely don't.
Compare it to what? Compare it to assumptions? How do you test it? How would you know it's correct?
Many of the fakes almost work. Some are ghost parts. Some are recycled. Some are parts that failed QC or were binned as a lower tolerance part and remarked as a higher tolerance part. Testing for all those possibilities is not economically feasible, especially if you’re outsourcing assembly.

This is much more a “how do I know the 683rd chip on this reel will meet its sleep current specifications [so our device will make its battery life specs]?” rather than “how do I know this is an IC at all and not a fancy Lego brick?”

The EU has decided to be carbon neutral by 2050. That doesn't mean they will succeed, of course, but it's still somewhat bold to claim "no country will".

Also the USA have reentered the Paris climate accords. So at least the current government commits to decarbonisation.

I think there will be a significant problem for free trade when some nations put effort into decarbonisation and others do not and continue to use cheap energy. I do not, for instance, think that the EU will simply roll over and let relatively cheap US products flood the market when their own companies are not competitive anymore.

I believe I agree with the last paragraph and that the issue ends up becoming a status quo issue and unfairness.

I assume that’s what you mean by low status? Something that may be good, but isn’t of the status quo?

This is a much harder and rarely attacked or solved problem.

EDIT: it is all the harder when people like your sibling play the victim and say they are being oppressed. Which could be true for low status comments, but the oppressed/victim mindset/thinking is true across all quality of posts.
Sure, we can test a few when they come in, but we can't necessarily send them back or get our money back if buying from unknown sources in China. If we order samples, we're not necessarily guaranteed that there will be more available to purchase after we get the samples in, or that what we get in the next order will be good even if the samples were.

I'm 80% sure this is a Doc Ock reference, but not completely.
An interesting, yet somewhat unrelated discussion could be had about cases where one might want the type ID to not change when the type changes structurally. There are many structures in many ABI interfaces that are structurally different between releases, yet still binary compatible. This particular characteristic has always been defined adhoc, and I do wonder what a more formal system might mean. This almost feels like the issue of identity in distributed systems.
