There was serious evidence regarding PFOA, and a scandal relating to hiding information about toxicity.

The chemical companies claim that what they replaced it with is safer alternatives, but after reading this article I seriously wouldn’t trust them.

Do you mean to construct a defense of the "cannibal rapist Neandertal orcs" idea on the post-factualist basis that, well, there's no actually knowing anything, so we may as well pick whatever just-so story we like?

That's a pretty weak defense, is why I'm asking. Almost anything else would be more convincing. So maybe it's worth asking whether you've got anything else to offer.
This is wrong. April and May was peak anger about the coronavirus response. Around that time, the political conversations among Germans was entirely about the virus and how sick of it they were, and they were blaming the party in power. People care far more about being stuck at home for another summer than they care about corruption, or the media splash made by Baerbock. Plus, von der Leyen serves as a convenient symbol of an EU bureaucracy run as a retirement home for the incompetent and well-connected, and she's a CDU politician. Baerbock's appeal was that she would be a change from a status quo that failed.

But then since mid-May they administered 40 million doses, and everything is forgiven. Just subjectively, it went from no one I know is vaccinated, to everyone is either vaccinated or has an appointment to be vaccinated. Summer isn't canceled after all.
If you're not a scientist, and have basically no clue what you're saying, why even comment?
The Greens had and squandered the oppportunity to present themselves as being fresh, unencumbered, honest, evidence-based, non-corrupt. Baerbock's resume problems and the plagiarized book sections destroyed that hope, as well as her election as a women over an obviously more qualified man (Habeck). So the Greens lost their advantage in that regard, now they are just one bad option among other bad ones with regards to political ethics.

At the same time, the CDU started to enact some Green policies like raising fuel prices, but doing so with the hint that they would look out for the economy and the little man and be more responsible than the Greens. Since the greens also include some pretty radical eco-deindustrialist people, that move made the CDU look like a better alternative while still soothing peoples' bad eco conscience.

So yes, bad PR work by the Greens, good PR work by the CDU/CSU.
In PCIe gen 3 it is already possible to saturate the PCI lanes with NAND. Even in gen 4 you get 6 GB/s. You gain some in latency but you really need to invest in the software to eke out that latency gain.

3DXpoint really shines in persistent memory but that requires investing quite a bit to change software to make use of it and the problem is that of a single vendor and high prices.

There are users for it but I havent seen anything to convince me its really viable.
Show HN: Tesla road trip planner in the US. Set My Tesla as car option
China and India are bad examples. These are deeply multicultural countries, despite the authoritarian centralisation under a Han Mandarin leadership in China.

If you said Japan or Hungary then you'd have a point.
I really like the node based workflow used by Blender for creating materials, compositing and now for generating geometry.
This is where I think visual programming works best, realtime interactive tweaking of something actually visual.

It's also generally kept simple and is powerful enough to get the job done.

I've always hated LabView however, it grows too unwieldy quickly and the limited nature of its visual display doesn't help. I remember once going to a NI training session around 2008 that was actually a sales session and their guy tried to convince us that LabView was easily parallelisable by drawing two empty while loops and showing them maxing out both CPUs on his laptop. The mind boggles.
I would go eve further and say that having a PK mindset is the real problem today.
The question is not Brit-specific so to speak. Saying "based off of" to mean "based on" and "based out of" to mean "based in" etc started relatively recently in the U.S. In the NYC area, people also say "waiting on line" instead of "in line" which grates me to this day, but at least I could find that usage special-case in a foot thick Webster dictionary back when I first encountered.

I believe the "based off of" and "based out of" were popularized among the hipster brogrammers of early 21st century, but I might be wrong.

I am not a native speaker.
Exactly. These are restrictions that have been viewed as favorable for security purposes for decades. It’s nice to see a mainstream OS actually implementing them.

The resistance to them seems to be largely due to lazy developers: it would be EASIER if the system let a developer do whatever they want with a “trust me, I’m smart” justification. But we can’t design for the occasional safe and smart developer: we need to design for the sloppy ones and the malicious ones. The smart and safe ones can find a way to work within the constraints. As for lazy and sloppy ones who can’t adapt to the constraints - adapt.
I drink distilled water all the time, it's not toxic in normal quantities.
> Another point, which may matter to some people, is that while Migadu may be a Swiss company, the data centers where the mails are hosted were in France (this was the case at least a year ago). So the situation is somewhat comparable (not entirely though) to Fastmail being an Australian company with data centers in the U.S. being used.

> For those who want multi-domain email services for a lower (flat) price, look at mxroute. It's based out of the U.S. though, which may not be an option for people who want certain services outside Five Eyes jurisdictions.

Weird speaking that, but I would be more of concerned of (an accidental) breach of privacy by some Migadu employee than some <country-name> burreau. Not saying about some typical script kiddie or some hacker-magician getting in possession of logins with passwords as leak. It is likely new on the market and I am tempted to say it has near-zero reputation for anyone looking for a private mail right now. Location do matter, but execution more.
Bezos’ Exit Is One of Many Among Amazon’s Top Ranks
The book mentions population density but quickly discards population density as the primary factor. Instead it focuses on domesticated animals. Eurasians had many domesticated animals and often lived in close quarters with them. The New World had an extreme paucity of domesticable animals and therefore much less exposure to disease vectors and therefore no major disease capable of wiping out populations. (pg 212-213)
> Also, the great thing about CD is that mistakes can be fixed really quickly: push another commit.

If the change messes up your database and you don't discover it immediately, it is not always possible to simply rollback the database.

CD to a staging environment is fine, but I would regard it more as a form of CI.
I guess eventually someone will start publicly logging the messages, I wonder if that will change the dynamic you describe.
> Why—exactly—do you reason that someone is willing to pay $109 per user per year for their order flow?

Adverse selection is scary and knowing your counterparty is worth a lot. This is not as sinister as you're making it out to be.
The biggest missing bits in all of these analyses are, to me:

1. How many people under consideration ("famous people") did not posses the quality brought up in the premise ("agency from early age")?

2. How many people did posses the quality ("agency"), but did not achieve the desired result ("fame")?

Without that, we are pretending to show data to support a premise, whereas it's just an opinion with cherry-picked data.

Granted, it's hard to get numbers for 1 and 2 (esp 2, I guess), but I don't even see anyone trying before considering their premise "proven" or at least worth sharing. :/
You might enjoy reading 1491 and learning more about the cultures of the Americas. There is way more there than "tech from 1500 BC", and I don't feel like just quoting from the book because I want people to go read it.

It is important to realise that there are recent estimates that mention 9 out of 10 people all over the Americas dying of diseases. Remember that diseases travel faster than European invaders, so by the time they arrive at those locations the population is already in kind of chaos and traumatised.

There were a lot of people living in the Americas. A lot. The first chronicles mention large cities and populations, other chroniclers passing the same regions some years later see nothing. In certain areas, such as the Amazon, where people built things out of wood, almost nothing remains.

It is also important to remember than in many cultures, part of the healing process for a disease involved family and loved ones doing wakes and staying close to the afflicted. This causes a havoc as contagious diseases such as pox spread and claimed whole families, and then the next family, and so on. Pox was not common, nor was flu.

Many variations of pox are associated with use beasts of burden, most of the indigenous cultures didn't use them. So no resistance to cowpox, smallpox, etc

> I doubt that the indigenous Americans would have been able to adopt European technology fast enough to succeed in beating the Europeans back.

Please, read that book. You'll see the indigenous population of North America adapting quite fast to European technology to the point of managing sailboats. Also, sidenote the Spanish first met the Inca not on land but on the sea, they bumped into one of their large sailboats. Europeans adopting indigenous technologies in South America because theirs didn't work. This happened everywhere. Everyone was adapting.

Many of us learned different stuff in school and uni, mostly because it takes a very long time for research to trickle into school curriculum, and also because of the bias of those telling the stories who century after century create a narrative that favours them.

There a lot of recent research that throws away a lot of what was taught to me in school. Unfortunately, the usual reaction from people is that "this is not what I was taught, so it must be wrong!" and then proceed to repeat fairy tales about technology superiority which is a positivist way of seeing things that is very flawed.

"Beating Europeans back" is not the only possible outcome. It is not about beating people back to the other side of the Atlantic. If so many native people had not died of diseases, the Americas would look much different today.
"Save As..." action has been replaced with "Duplicate" (at least in Apple tools), no idea what's the reasoning behind this is

If I had to guess, it's because Apple wants to remind you they already have your data in their cloud, so saving anything locally is creating a duplicate.

It very much can exceed 100% and it’s not a measure invented for click bait purposes.

Look up heat pumps. You can make things hotter by moving heat than you could by directly heating it by burning fuel.
Steve jobs sales talent is so great it’s often called a reality distortion field

On another note
The iPod and iTunes are what pulled the company out of bankruptcy
It does not work for all units though: e.g. temperature units (degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin)
Does Walmart operate outside the US? Because Amazon is pretty much everywhere around the world. If Amazon were to die tomorrow, I'd have a real problem getting a lot of equipment for various projects, especially PC hardware, in a timely manner. As much as I hate how things have gone downhill lately, it doesn't seem to be as bad (yet) over here in Europe with getting fake items. The main issue I see here, is that there's been a huge influx of cheap Chinese items which flood out all the known brands that I usually buy from, making it hard to find actual quality items. Prime is also still 69€/year. And they offer delivery to their own containers which you can unlock with a barcode on your phone to get your package 24/7, avoiding house delivery altogether, which is a huge reason why I still use them as opposed to competition, since where I live in is a real pain to find and often delivery people just give up trying to find me and just send the items back, or drop it at some shop at the end of their shift, which is often at the opposite side of the city.

In fact it seems most of the issues I see people complaining about on HN are US-centric issues? Perhaps all this brand-hijacking is happening over there because of the market size and thus pay-off to do the "dirty" work?
For $70/year Microsoft lets me point up to 99 domains at a cloud exchange server. This has been working well for me.
The US is still a nation. American culture is arguably far more homogeneous now than at any point in it's history.

The difference now is that everyone is able to see what remains of the differences between different groups of people, including the ugliness - such as racism and bigotry - that was hidden when the average person only had access three television channels and a local news paper.

Yes, that is key! The lack of beasts of burden and domesticated animals in the Americas. People often overlook this when talking about "how could a whole continent be wiped out by pox"

IFIR the sharp dip was around the time when the Greens announced their election program, which included rising petrol prices and some other things that are not all too popular with car owners. Still a big no-no in Germany apparently (funny enough the CDU has roughly the same goals, but I guess their PR is better).
DHS adds hundreds of new cyber professionals to its ranks
I vehemently disagree that rolling releases are a good idea.

I've found myself disabling auto updates on quite a few applications as of late, because I am tired of constant interruptions to my workflow, breakages and UI changes.

Being able to at least concentrate those inevitable annoyances and interruptions into one point in time is a good thing for me. The alternative has turned out to be death by a thousand papercuts.
The service I work on emails users(B) after their email address has been input by another user(A) of our service. This would allow us to check that the email is reachable before we attempt to send the email. If it is not we can ask user(A) to check before they proceed.
Ask HN: It's your first day as an Incident Response Manager, what do you ask?
Say you are starting a new role at a company as an cyber incident response manager.

What are the first questions you would ask?
Do it sometime when you're free. Its worth it. I had it bookmarked for quite a while before I read it because it seemed so long.
Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer (m/f/d) – Remote
I also don't. I only use Macs, not iOS as that's too limited for me. I also use many desktop OSes mixed together (also Windows, Linux, FreeBSD) so many of Apple's cloud services are irrelevant to me as I can't use them on the other platforms. I just need the Mac to be a good desktop computer. I already stopped using Safari for this reason also, as its sync only works on Apple platforms.

However I do think I'm an outlyer. Most people go all-in on an ecosystem. This will never work for me. I used to use iOS too until Android caught up and really started being good for power users. I already stopped using Macs privately because they became too locked-down. I always loved macOS (since 2004) for being a powerful POSIX system with a consistent UI and third party app support. But it's becoming too much like an "iPad Plus" now. Something like that has no place in my life, sadly.
Wouldn't fuzix be a better alternative on a 286? not that expect using a 286. if i'm going to a more simple processor i would do it for the low power consumption it'd could bring

Probably it's more convenient for them to trust X big players rather than checking one by one. And somehow an empty spam folder looks better than a full one, as it gives the user the feeling that the service itself doesn't receive spam or does a very good job at preventing it.
Acknowledging the weight of passive factors (disease) shouldn't be at the cost of disqualifying the role of active ones like technology (military, political, administrative, trades).

The Spanish had plenty of military engagements in the early colonization of the Americas that were easily solved purely because of their overwhelming technological advantages.
I ended up doing the same for the exact same reason. And even when using fastmail, my email still sometimes gets blocked.
Why the fixation on religion of founders?
As another comment pointed out, it’s usually called the Coefficient of Performance in this case.

Which is to say this is click bait, because saying it has a COP of 3.85 isn’t anywhere near as sexy, whilst being technically more accurate.
I've long thought that, in practical terms, we all pretty much are. The universe is, to all intents and purposes a figment of my [and your] imaginations.

We have no experience of its existence from before we were born. We can be told and shown things that supposedly happened back then. But with no 'cogito ergo sum' first hand experience of them, how do we know any of that is real?

When we die, our own personal universe will wink out of existence for us and, again, we're being asked to believe that it will somehow continue outside of our ability to experience it.

Which kind of segués into another of my philosophical mind-benders; how did the universe exist before there was even the most primitive form of life anywhere? Because, how can something 'be' when nothing exists to experience it?
Yep. I've lived in several countries, and from what I've seen, there's more cultural heterogeneity between many EU towns that are 100km or more apart in the same member state than there is across almost all of the US - not including obvious outliers.
> Low Power Mode. Inspired by the iPhone, the Mac now has a Low Power Mode—and it’s available on both Intel and M1 Macs. Low Power Mode forcibly dims your display and underclocks your processor, all in the hopes of reducing battery drain.

My Macs have been doing that since forever when battery enters <= 5%. The machine crawls to a slow grind, and the battery suddenly lasts forever. Its just not communicated to the user.

Also, according to [1] (linked to from source), some features require the Neural Engine of M1 so are not available on Intel Macs.

I read somewhere that disease prevented European colonizers from overtaking larger parts of southern Africa. I cannot remember the source though.
Ecological sustainability, sexual equality, integration policies for immigrants... All I've seen just from skimming through their PDF
Life expectancy has (mostly) risen during that time, not dropped.
It's really a function of the amount of species that can be domesticated, the Americas has only few of them. Domesticated species end up living in close proximity to humans and create a perfect environment for disease.
There were diseases in the Americas, they were deadly too. One thing to consider is how they spread and if they are contagious between humans. Malaria is horrible, but you don't catch it from other people, pox on the other hand will spread between humans. This is just one example. Being mostly exposed to nasty diseases that are not contagious will lead a culture to have different behaviour when dealing with the sick. These practices will often involve taking close care of the sick. Such practices will prove horrible for dealing with highly lethal contagious diseases from Europe.
laschet wants immigration, he is left. The CDU is not conservative.
Sorry, what? Pure water isn't toxic. And you can get minerals from other sources.

That's like saying tap water is toxic because it doesn't contain a balanced diet of vitamins.
Well, I still lock the front door with the deadbolt at night although it won't stop a mob from breaking in, it's good enough to keep me reasonably safe against normal threats.

Also, actively circumvent protection devices is proof of malice and possibly even criminal intent (remember DMCA?) so I don't see your point.
> toxic individualism

> Not to mention the concept of democracy, which is probably not going to survive this decade here.

These seem to be related. Democracy requires a high focused on individuals, right? Individual choice, individual voting, etc. The movement towards being more "democratic" seems highly correlated to the increase in "toxic individualism"
While I appreciate a lot of the sentiment, this is precisely what the author opens discussion with: the fact that “nation” is often a metonym, or even, as in the parent’s comment, a metaphor.
Is this Chrome catching up to Firefox's Quantum projects? I.e. Stylo and WebRender? It puzzles me a bit that Firefox, Chrome, etc. don't reuse each others components. Obviously Chrome can't just plop in WebRender, but is it really more effort to integrate it than to write your own? Same for Firefox and V8. I'm not saying all browsers should be the same, but (and this is a big assumption) if reuse is possible, then wouldn't it make more sense to focus on your team's strengths and use external components for the rest?
There's a 101 East episode on Al Jazeera on that topic: https://www.aljazeera.com/program/101-east/2021/7/1/forgotte...
If the rate of people defecting for their own benefit, and groups of people acting in their groups best interest rather than the country, is high enough then it's a loss to not defect.and prioritize yourself.

Western liberalism is ideologically incapable of viewing selfish defection and in group bias that is harmful for the whole society as anything other than good in my opinion.

I will continue to a be toxic individualist until I have reasonable expectation that other people can be trusted to not fuck me if I cooperate.

My whole adult life has been nothing but the escalting erosion of that trust, so good luck with restablishing that.
