> Well what a surprise climate change is real and it is to late to do anything about it.

Climate change isn't a boolean that just switched to "true", if we took global actions now we could slow it down, if we give up and consider it's too late we'll only make things worse
Weather is not a random number pick.
And your proof is wrong it's not if the number is higher than the previous one, but higher than all the previous ones. This means that you should have a curve getting flat, or potentially no curve at all if your first draw is 100.
The mechanism to add an exception in i3 is called for_window but virtually all utility windows will already float automatically in i3.
My guess is that a man known for sleeping at the office is literally doing just that except with a bed instead of on the floor.
How is it possible that the demonstration video with three albums took over a second to return a result for a word search?

According to the code, beets maintains an sqlite3 db. Searching that should be super fast.
The machine is way more than superficial stuff. Our government, legal process, financial system, medical, communication networks, food production, media, on and on - are part of the machine.

Machines require maintenance. And at this point the machine is so big we can barely keep it going at 40 hours a week. Automation may save us, but it seems like we automate just enough to open up new capability that itself requires maintenance.
Empty words and token sanctions are not going to stop the CCP's blatant takeover of HK and trashing of the '1 country 2 systems' agreement.

Real action - offer US citizenship to Hong Kong era that want it. Then go recognize the Republic of Taiwan as an independent country.

Unfortunately the CCP is probably right in their assumption that our politicians are to greedy and spineless to make anything beyond a soundbite gesture. They'll keep expanding their borders, putting minorities in concentration camps, forced organ harvesting and researching interesting new viruses.

We're all complicit, sickening really.
Some apps rely on optional JRE features or even private APIs.

Newer Java versions have started blocking private API usage. You can override the block but hopefully, it helps developers become aware of what they’re doing.
As long as the software is coded to trigger reset only on that signal, it probably didn't matter.
Demystifying data models and query language
To note, buying from the sellers website can be a blessing or a curse.

It is true in sometimes unexpected ways. For instance some sellers just don't care about notifications; it might be because they usually work with professional buyers who work on a long timescale ("I need it for this quarter") and will contact the seller on a regular basis if they care.

Some sellers just don't want to deal with you. I had a "mom and pop" for who my business wasn't really a priority (well, fine), sent me random junk after misreading my order, and it was a PITA to sort the situation.

Basically, going out of Amazon (the new Alibaba as you say) is also returning to the Wild Wild West. There is no real choice than to deal with both, but god is it a pain.
> Cheap slave labor is the main factor that allowed PRC to grow into a superpower.

Developed countries used the same model as well.
Actually, Alibaba appears to have higher standards for their product listings, because pages are never merged. So the review takeover described in this post would not be possible on Alibaba ^_^
In short, yes.
If a seller (like me) has not trademarked his/her brand, and has not registered with Amazon's Brand Registry, then the listing can be hijacked.
Of course, hijackers will only considers taking listings with many five-star reviews extending over several years.
Thanks. So, it sounds like not necessarily just a pejorative.
DoD has a parallel internet inaccessible from outside secure sites. They can follow the same approach with NATO computing needs.

mRNA vaccines are not "hugely outperforming other technologies in COVID". Sputnik V has around the same efficacy after 1 dosis that Biontech has after 2. That's 1-0 for Sputnik in my book.

Climate is never finished, we will never wake up one day and see "breaking news: climate change is done", it's a continuous process
> the idea that conspiracies themselves are [..] a typology through which people who lack definite or satisfactory narratives as citizens explain to themselves [..]

I really like this idea. To me it means that conspiracy theories create modern day mythology. Ancient people used myths to explain to themselves things they either didn't understand or feared. I've always wondered how did they come with these outrageous ideas but it now makes sense.
I've read your book a couple of years ago. When I saw your name on hacker news I thought it sounded familiar!
It is notable that very few seem to have taken this path.

Yet many seem to be protesting, despite it really looking like they have hardly any chance of their protests getting anything they want.

There must be more to the story that I'm not seeing...
@CliffStoll : fyi, at the bottom of the linked page on your website there is a link "TOP OF PAGE" that is broken!

It goes to a not found page.
Hey Cliff, I just have to say thanks. I read the Cuckoo's Egg in the early 90s and while I was already interested in computers, the idea that there were "networks" of them out there... well... it blew my mind.

I immediately went to my school librarian and said I wanted to try to connect computers together, or try to dial-up to library information services, etc. We started learning together.

You were a huge inspiration, thanks.
Hi Nick, And thank you for your kind note. I'm in the embarrassing position of asking you to wait a few months, as I'm very low in stock; I hope to have more glass Klein bottles by late summer. (Klein bottle hats & Mobius scarves, happily, I have plenty).
As a Canadian I would strongly prefer that we didn't live in a world where there are climate 'winners' and 'losers' even if that means that I am likely to win.
It looks to be such a small, and insignificant detail :)

Hey folks, author here! Happy to discuss + explore any of the points raised.
That's how cutting edge research is organized. Surely no one in the US believes sending their kid to Harvard for a bachelor means any of the work done by PhD candidates somehow majorly transcends onto them?
> What happens when you move the fuel?

It stops reacting. If you blow up a nuclear reactor you've made a nice radiological hazard (though Uranium/Thorium themselves aren't particularly hazardous), but as soon as the fuel stops being contained inside of the appropriate neutron-mediating environment and is scattered, it will become subcritical.

The question of whether or not deploying nuclear reactors in warzones is a good idea is entirely different from the question of whether meltdowns are a realistic possibility. A critical nuclear reaction can be sustained with neutron reflectors and moderators using an amount of fuel that would otherwise be subcritical. Any "reconfiguration" only reduces the criticality factor of such a reactor.

Kirill, you've put your finger on the central problem. Amazon should check that a product which is claimed by a Brand is actually covered by the "goods & services" listed under that trademark.
"Amazon has now become the Alibaba of the west"

Alibaba is much better than Amazon about seller verification. Look up, say, "PC power supply". On Amazon, you're lucky if you get the address of the seller and a product image.

Alibaba gives you multiple detailed pictures of the object, including its data plate. You get the full address of the seller, and whether it's the manufacturer or a reseller. There's usually a picture of the factory, info about their annual sales and number of employees, whether that's been verified by a third party, how fast they usually respond to inquries. Sometimes even what production equipment they use.
What certifications they have and who does their certifications.

Many of those companies will accept an order for one unit.
A little bit off-topic, but it's quite interesting how the name of the law and the intentions behind it is quite the same as in Egypt. Both were installed to actively seize means of opposition media and capture any persons involved for an indefinite period of time. For more context on the Egyptian side, it was the effective law of land during the nearly 30-year tenure of former dictator Hosni Mubarak and then got reinstated after another Coup d'etat by current dictator El-Sisi.
Backup generators operate during short intervals, not 24/7 for years. Even the pollution created during backup testing runs get documented and is a real point of concern for hospitals. The benefit however of having consistent power outweigh the drawback of temporary pollution.

I don't understand this knee-jerk pro-fossil fuel arguments, using your words. Fossil fuels, especially those in backup generators, are very harmful if run long term. We are currently in a pandemic where one of the primary causes of death is the inability to take up oxygen, and in this context we want to add air pollution?
Kind of comical to open a rebuttal with “if”, showing you don’t in fact know. That aside - no, you don’t know necessarily.
There's no NATO related data there - it's just a project for NATO.

If poisoned images were to be deployed into NATO datacenter, hackers would have no access to it as it's physically separated from internet.
Nationalism is a reaction of Chinese society that predates the CCP. The CCP is a product of it, not the cause. Indeed they know that they have to show achievements in that area because that's what the people want. As a matter of fact that have actually being successful in that regards when the Nationalists had failed.

On the world stage the focus is on the CCP and China's political regime because it makes selling anti-China campaigns and measures to the public much easier but it is a red herring. If tomorrow the whole of China became a democracy very little to nothing of their key policies and aims would change, the difference would be that the US would have a harder time explaining to us why China is "evil" (the reason being simply that they are getting too powerful for the West).
What are those assumptions?
Exactly. That's why I was dumbfounded; it just seemed too ridiculous to be real. These companies really don't give a shit about people; they just continue to recite something about "customer obsession" and return to patting themselves on the back.
“Would you think the big car companies would scramble for electric cars if not for Tesla?”

Yes, I would. Technological progress gives lawgivers room to tighten emission rules, and that’s what drives car makers. Tesla sped up that process, but not by much, IMO.

I also don’t think ‘scramble’ is the right word. Tesla was (maybe even is: they make a
profit from selling emission rights, and a big buyer says they don’t need them anymore. See https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-emissions-credits-sale...) wiling to sell at a loss in order to get market share and brand awareness. The big companies need neither, so they stepped in later.
The point of the CCP BRI debt traps are:

1) to funnel unaccounted money from US capital markets ($2+ trillion) into

2) projects that use Chinese steel and cement, that drive down mfg. costs by 20% every time volume doubles then

3) to gain influence in foreign countries, leveraged on world bodies (UN, WHO, etc.) with their votes (ie. Greece already votes with the CCP)

4) then either profit or repo the foreign infrastructure, especially ports so that

5) the CCP can occupy the ports ("string of pearls") with the world's largest navy and commercial fleets, totalling 20,000 ships.

Trump/Pompeo were squeezing #1, which would have caused the whole BRI house of cards to collapse. But now we just have Biden and his puppet masters.

The above is a very clever scheme. I wonder if the CCP has a million functionaries sitting around dreaming this stuff up?

They've been donated, you don't seem to have much choice or you wouldn't be relying on donated hardware.

You could solicit money or other hardware donations.

Perhaps find out the system specs and purchase additional RAM and SSDs to eke out the best performance (IME, the issue with hardware like that can often be brought to a more than reasonable level by just addressing those two elements).

Set up a server for the heavier weight stuff like dealing with Docker and server instances.

If the alternative is they have no way to participate, you don't really have many other options.
Does it really require all that much coordination?

Some top-level military exec(s) want the military to get more funding. They're in contact with Bin Laden. Bin Laden gets a bit of money to put a couple of arabs on a "work-trip" to the US.
The military-execs offer a couple of pilots a "crazy increase to their life insurance". Check their schedules to coordinate the day of the attack.

I know there's a lot of detail left out and a lot of assumptions made, but I'm not convinced that it has to be an extremely complex and coordinated plan.
My recent experience with Manjaro has been extremely good as well, so that although I'm still using Debian for tinkering, I now put Manjaro on all other new Linux users PCs.

I don't know what to tell you, just don't do this?

I've been working professionally for years in React and have never encountered this particular issue. Once I've gotten to to it this morning with fresh eyes it's taken me like 5min to understand - React sees this as a list of the same element, which requires keys - this on the other hand is extremely common and well documented, so even a junior could intuit it.

This is a contrived example and as a moderately experienced developer you would almost certainly reach for the idiom, which would be rendering the input as a list with a map, in which case you would see clearly what's going on, get a warning, and a clear mapping to the official docs [1]

As far as footguns go, I think this is a weak and contrived example. I get why one would not want to work with React - maybe they don't like JSX, or the lack of baked-in state management, that there are a million ways to do the same thing, the general philosophy of the framework, etc.

But I've worked with many other technologies on the front and the back end and not only have I seen infinitely worse than this, I can't think of a technology where if you try really hard to break it, you won't find ways to do so.

Thank you Mr. Varenc and Mr. Code, Yes, that's what's left of what used to be my Amazon Klein bottle listing. Note that what used to be Klein Bottle by Cliff Stoll is now Amvoom Klein Bottle.
Although I created the listing 4 or 5 years ago, I'm now unable to edit or change the listing. I've bumped up my price sufficiently high, in hopes that nobody will buy from there.
Thanks for the tip. On mobile means using Materialistic for me, no way to edit there.

This is a short article but the way it introduces the concepts of control plane and data plane is worth thinking about.

To elaborate:

In the abstract, the control plane is just anything that's not in the critical data path, it's safety critical but not performance critical, whereas the data plane has the inverse profile. For example, it would be fine to have (and one would want) plenty of assertions in the control plane for safety.

Whereas the data plane is in the critical path with huge volumes flowing through it. Here in the data plane one would want to optimize for performance: cache misses, context switches, branch mispredicts etc. The data plane would be like a water mains pipeline, there's nothing inside to obstruct flow. The control plane would be all the safety checks you do outside the pipeline as an operator, the little control box that adjusts pressure and controls the pipeline.

Having this clean split between control plane and data plane in the design provides both safety and performance without compromising either.

As a concrete example of this technique, in TigerBeetle [1], we have around 10,000 financial transactions in a batch. A single-threaded control plane is responsible for switching each of these batches through the consensus protocol, and we amortize all runtime bounds checks, assertions, syscalls and I/O across the batch, so that these become almost free, yet we have literally hundreds of assertions, and we're doing O_DSYNC on every write. And of course, all of this is running through io_uring so we can drive decent io depth to NVME or SSD without the overhead of context switches and complexity of any user space thread pool.

io_uring is such a great design. Not only because it's fast, but because it's so simple with such a clean separation between control and data planes. It makes pure thread-per-core designs easily achievable with fantastic performance.

> Chomsky responds with the typical comment that it would take an unprecedented amount of coordination to have so many people keep the secret that it doesn't even make sense.

Let's say that someone came out tomorrow and said, "9/11 was an inside job, and in my role as Undersecretary of the Army I was instructed by Donald Rumsfeld to do X, Y, and Z to help carry it out." What is it, exactly, that Noam Chomsky believes would happen? Does he think this whistleblower would get a segment on 60 Minutes? Fawning mugshots on the cover of Time magazine? No, they'd be easily marginalized, pathologized as a crank, and ultimately disposed of. What would even be the incentive for someone to throw themselves into the buzzsaw of our complicit media and its credulous consumers?

This is something ignorant people (including Chomsky himself) also will often say about the JFK assassination, "oh someone would have come forward and said something." Well, people did come forward and say things, dozens of them, and they were ignored, mocked, harassed, and sometimes killed. With this kind of intimidation down to a science and communications channels more thoroughly surveilled than ever, coordinating a large action (especially with the standard spycraft techniques of compartmentalization and need-to-know) is probably easier than ever.

The lies are never foolproof, they're just delivered within a resilient system which controls how (and whether) the lies are talked about.

The OP is about the flaw of using record highs or lows to show a rising/falling trend. Not temperature changes in general.

You can indeed cherry pick decades long periods of both cooling and warming which would show a biased in the last 100 years. In the 80s, scientists thought there was Global Cooling. There was also an Ice age that shows temperatures were indeed cooler.

At least understand what is being discussed before you make a response and downvote.
Four senators ask Biden to clear Oppenheimer’s name
No need, here is the current state https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gnome-40.html
I've spent many years creating statistical analysis and models about a large business's operations. There is always at least one statistic that someone produces that purports to show the opposite of what a balanced analysis shows. In this case the lowest recorded temperature is not a solid indication of cooling or even of "not warming" because it is a localised measurement; it's about one small area - and one small area in a remote and hard to access place.

As our civilization has become more powerful we are able to put sensors in many more places, some of those places were inaccessible to previous generations of sensor programs. Sensors now operate autonomously and the data is collected remotely. This would create a strong bias towards detecting lower temperatures. It would be possible to estimate and control for this bias in the number - but I haven't done that as it's a bit of work!

As a not expert (not ever involved in any climate analysis) if I were asked to create a meaningful statistic I would try to do an analysis that tries to see things as they are (rather than supporting an opinion) and would look at the mean and median temperatures recorded at sensor locations over time, and would also look at the evolution of temperature aggregates across representative populations of sensors deployed - which would include sensors in cities and deserts as well as those in Antarctica. For example I would take random samples of 10% of the sensor population that was available at a given time point. I have no idea how the climate scientists do this - but I am confident that they will have methods that are far more reliable than my silly homebrew idea - if you are interested in the topic it would be good to look into how they do it.
I have started with a similar approach but my deal breaker were math symbols and pictures.
