The world isn't burning. Look, for example, at http://scotese.com/climate.htm . "ICE HOUSE or HOT HOUSE?" The atmosphere has varied for billions of years between an average temperature of 10C and 25C. The atmosphere had been in its "ice house" phase for quite a while recently, so even without any human activity whatsoever, we'd still expect for it to warm up. We know that because... it's actually done it several times.

Please, STOP SPREADING FEAR PROPAGANDA. Yes, that's exactly what this is. It is ENDLESSLY promoting a FALSE IDEA that the world is extremely hot. Look at history to place current events in proper context. When we post articles like this, we are giving money to companies in exchange for them LYING TO INCREASE FEAR.

DIGEX was Doug Humphrey's nickname long before he started an ISP using that name.

Doug had a KA10 in the living room of his apartment in a high rise tower in Maryland, near where I used to live.

He had to take it up the elevator in two pieces, and the elevator had a hard time aligning with the floor because of the weight, so he had to lift it up a foot to get it out the door.

The apartment didn't have the right two phase 220 volt power outlet, but it was possible for two people to simultaneously plug it into two different 110 volt outlets at opposite ends of the apartment that were on different phases to get it to work.

It didn't have any memory except for the registers, but you could load a loop of code into the registers and run it really fast (since they were mapped to low memory), to keep the apartment nice and cozy warm.

Good thing electricity was included in the rent!
It’s happened multiple times for me, all with extremely well known VC backed companies. Once at later stage, but applying for a very senior role, and another at an early stage, where there was a good fit.

It can be a tough sell, and recruiters are trained to just say no, but persistence pays off. Same thing applies to getting jobs in general. If you aren’t persistent in your application process and aggressive in your negotiation process, you simply won’t have the best outcomes. It just becomes easy to turn you down.
> The freedom of speech matters.

If it matters to you, you should find out what the First Amendment actually says and what it means.

Here is the entire First Amendment:

> "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Did you notice that it is a restriction on "Congress" and "the Government"? It is not a restriction on private companies banning individuals from their platforms, whether the reasons are ideological or not.

This lawsuit is a marketing tactic for Trump. It will be laughed out of court because it is utterly unconstitutional.

The intended benefit of this lawsuit is to help Trump raise money and to create yet another story to vilify people who dampen his authoritarianism.

As a not-American, what is the racial aspect? This is a legitimate question, I only know about SF from HN, and this is the first time I've seen a reference to race.
I played the game by restricting everything except a full lockdown and by doing nothing. The first time I had less than 200 deaths, the second time almost 150 k. The government survived in both cases, actually a little better in the latter. I'm not surprised because I don't remember a single government having to resign because of covid, even where the pandemic hit hard. Somebody had lost elections but it's difficult to assess the impact of covid mismanagement of the outcome of any election.

I often find developers jump to async too early. Clearly a million native threads is too many, but on modern processors a couple thousand mostly idle (due to IO blocking) Java threads are fine (e.g. one per request in a typical middle tier). While Java's stack sizes are large, if a thread's stack isn't deep, most of that memory is never actually allocated.

What is that breaking point where developers should switch to more scalable models? From the article:

The key is that Wallmart does not prohibit your product from listing its wholesale price on the label. A clause like that should be illegal.
I've heard many horrific stories and first-hand accounts where Tamil people were tortured, raped and had their entire families wiped out.

The Sri Lankan Government burned down the Jaffna Library in an attempt to erase Tamil history. They wiped out entire villages with bombs and forced generations to leave Sri Lanka forever.

The British were horrific but let's not ignore what the Sri Lankan Government did to its Tamil people.

LTTE committed war crimes. But, the Tamil people are not the LTTE. Sri Lankan government committed genocide. They bombed UN medical camps and safe zones setup by the Government.
>In Australia, it appears some early models predicted between 50k to 150k lives lost assuming no response. A statistical life is valued at over $4m, meaning a cost of $200bn to $600bn.

That is the value of an "average" life. But the average age of death from covid is over 75, so the actual economic cost would be much less (which is accounted for when using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality-adjusted_life_year, the standard way of measuring these things).

In a beautiful thread on Twitter, one of the participants related how her grandmother’s recipes only made sense once she talked with the her grandmother about her measurements. A cup? That was the blue cup she kept over there. A tablespoon? Why, that’s this one. A handful? Here ya go, honey. It’s not that those measurements are “wildly imprecise,“ necessarily, it’s that they are quite particular to the cook.
Most people look distinctly male or female. I think they meant someone who looks distinctly male and presents a passport marked female should be assumed an impostor. Not it would break anyone's brain.

I have mixed feelings about a lot of Sargent (it is hard to dislike some, like "Madame X" but it caused a huge stink at the time), but this painting is impossible to just walk past. In terms of its composition I think its wonderful. The picture is clearly designed to provoke "the blind leading the blind" and might also get to "Lions led by donkeys" or even "jesus only had 12 and one was a double"

If you compare Sargent to the War art of Stanley Spencer, Stylistically they're poles apart, but not (I think) by intent.

Or the post-war cartoons of Grotz.

I think at root, all of them are trying to say "this is what the war cost"

There's a super portrait group of the war leaders in the National Portrait Gallery in London. I'm amazed it hasn't been mutilated by now. And.. guess who painted it...

I think what happened with "social media" is a digital equivalent of land enclosures. In the past, there was Internet content, let's simplify it to blogs, which was available publicly for anybody to see, and then there was content aggregators/filters (search engines, blog aggregators) which selected and curated the content. But anybody could come and do that.

Social media effectively "privatized" the content, now you have the content within their walled garden, and only they have monopoly on content filtering and aggregation (within their realm). This allowed them to monetize the advertisements on this content.

So I believe wanting "social media as common carriers" really means going back to the state before they existed, where anybody could host content and anybody could filter content. I don't think it will happen, because then the business model is dead, and the force of capitalism will not allow it (just like there is very little public land now).

Right. There are also things called Optical Illusions which do not really explain anything but mislead you into thinking you see something which is not there.

BGP in a Nutshell
Your builds are not reproducible with anything related to npm. Neither npm nor any bundler that I'm aware of guarantees that.

Unless we're not talking about the same reproducibility property. Also I don't know what "hermetic" means in this context but I doubt it's anything that npm solves correctly.
I get what you're saying but that's only because teenagers in their bedroom are unlikely to get enough attention, not because they don't have enough influence.

It's totally possible for a bedroom-made startup to grow to the point where the lack of GDPR enforcement could be directly harmful to customers, for example. True it's unlike they'd get noticed, but I don't think that's a strong argument here.

I want reasonable widespread application of GDPR, ADA, etc with explicitly carved out safeguards for small operations like this teenager.

Thanks for finding that — that does make sense then. Seems like the sort of thing that ought to be mentioned on the landing page though!
How do you know that was the reason?
Not entirely correct.

The Soviet Union supported government of Afghanistan fell very quickly, and only after, Soviet aid was cut in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I think the point of the art is to show people how difficult it is to do the best you can with the tools available, and also to instruct them how to over-adjust with those tools and ease off them. To over-steer and then realign the direction of flight. What you're suggesting is: Give everyone an automatic transmission so no one ever shifts gears at the wrong time. What this game shows is: Here is how you shift gears before a curve, and what to expect if you shift too soon or too late. That is a fantastically more complicated and important thing to take away from a simulation than, "if we just turn everything on, problem solved."

Also note that as of right now, Sweden has half the number of deaths/capita compared to Czechia, and is below the EU average, despite having had the least restrictive policy.

This game perpetuates the gigantic fallacy that government intervention is the biggest factor determining spread and outcome, when in reality it's geography, structural differences, and enormous amounts of luck.
Many people die of cold and many die of heat each year. If you raise the temperature, the extra heat both reduces cold deaths and increases heat deaths. Lowering temperature (or preventing its rise) would also both prevent and cause deaths. If, as statistics seem to indicate, there are far more cold deaths than heat deaths, the extra heat is more likely to produce a net saving of lives, not a net loss. But even if not, any article that uses extra heat deaths as an argument without so much as mentioning concomitant prevention of cold deaths is not reliable if your goal is to save lives.

Sure, but they would if they could.

Dozens of states target Google's app store in antitrust suit
>> Not sure about Google, but Apple has deliberately prohibited developers from itemizing the 30% fee for consumers.

> As a consumer, I don't care if the fee is 30%. I have no idea if that's a lot

I think you're right about this particular example. But that's because rebelos identified the wrong problem. I would identify a different gag as the problem -- Apple prohibits you from directing your customers to other payment methods.

"Make your in-app purchase as conveniently as possible, right here and right now" vs "Pay 25% less by visiting our website" would kneecap Apple's app store revenue. Itemizing the fee is pointless.
Sort of. The broken optics famously got fixed in the first HST shuttle mission, and there have been other replacements over time. A lot of it is the same, though.

And of course, the HST is in LEO, which means it is reachable with current rocket tech, which the James Webb, being situated at L2 won't be. But that's not to say you could not have a large platform at L2 (or another Lagrange point) that could be serviced by robots, or even manned craft, if it was designed that way.

> school comes with bullying, peer pressure and a lot of other negatives in socialization that only the "normal" kids will get through relatively unscathed.

So does real life. People need experience dealing with these situations. IMO, it would be better to deal with them at school where you have parents & teachers to fall back on, rather than than waiting until you are an adult without nearly as much support.
Something I don't see mentioned in the sibling comments is that this can also put the employee in a bad position when they don't like their job but are in the mid to late stages if their first year. You either tough it out the remaining _X_ months or quit and take a huge hit in income because you're leaving before the equity cliff.
>The atmosphere has varied for billions of years between an average temperature of 10C and 25C.

Which we could not care less about. Humanity didn't exist for "billions of years" and for most of the time it did exist it existed in an animal like state and died by the droves with bad weather conditions.

It also didn't have to sustain a fragile modern infrastructure, megacities, argiculture to feed 8 billion, and so on.

So whether 1 billion years ago it was also "50 degrees C" or "5 degrees C" is irrelevant as to our predicament now.

And that's without considering other aspects of environmental issues, like microplastics, overfishing, polluted water systems, and so on, that are 100% man-made.

>Look at history to place current events in proper context.

Your "billions" of years ago, or even 10.000 years ago, is not history, it's pre-history.
> This is a problem in the same sense that the sun going red giant is a problem

To be fair to OP, at the point we're concerned about Exxon Valdez circa 2400 dumping an atmosphere of hydrogen into space and the Sun's expansion, we could solve one problem with the other and bring the Sun's mass over.

There are absolutely no guarantees with mushrooms, regardless of set, setting, sitters, professionals or not. To say nothing about the persistent hallucinatory disorder you are risking ever time you imbibe.

Even McKenna swore off mushrooms after he went through a hellishly intense existential nightmare. His brother wrote a book about it: The brotherhood of the screaming abyss. It’s not all rainbows and happy elves, there are trips so devastatingly dark that make death seem like a merciful release.
Sure! But your notifications are liable to be killed off in the background, as you shouldn't be relying on Google Play Services while shipping on Super-Awesome-Store.

And if you want your users to install your app store, they'll have to know where to go and tell the OS "I want this installed, it's not malware".

And every time any single app through there requires an update, it must be manually approved and installed by the user. Google's evergreen background updates are exclusive to them.

And if Google Play Protect decides you store is malware because it distributes apps that Google thinks harms users, any user with (the heavily pushed) Google Play Protect turned on likely won't be using your store for long.

But it is technically possible.
I've been a Sr. developing a Jr/ engineers in a distributed and mostly remote (technical consulting) organization for about 7 years now. It can definitely be done and IMO the "you won't learn things you get just being around Srs" meme is overstated. It can also be mitigated by lots of pairing and strong expectations on mentoring for the Srs. We've developed our talent well and those who have chosen gone to go do other things have had success outside the org, in in-person environments or remote environments.

However, if the org is not fully remote first (and sometimes even if it is) it is valuable to travel the mothership on occasion and have develop relationships in person. About one week a quarter is a good. I'd ask if they have plans and budget to do something like that.

Finally "Hybrid" teams with a majority of people spending most of their time in the office but with some remote employees can be very problematic. I'd avoid those if you can, unless you are VERY proactive and unshy about make your presence known.
Listing wholesale prices on the product is vanishingly rare, possibly nonexistent. I wouldn't be surprised if it infuriated retailers to the point that they refused to stock your product.

Eh? Who has suggested it does? Disregard for the moment that it's Donald Trump so that we can speak without partisanism mucking things up. It doesn't take a mind reader to gauge the intent of another person based on their actions. Just basic empathic ability and critical thinking.

If you disagree with the conclusion then okay, go ahead and make an actual counterpoint. That's the whole point of discussion. Don't go accusing people of such outrageously ridiculous things as thinking that they have telepathic powers. You know perfectly well that sort of hyperbolic nonsense won't sway anyone.
Teaching Lego Boost: A Beginner's Guide (2020)
If you get multiple offers, you can play them off of each other. Specifics on that: don't give your current salary to the companies making you an offer; if you really feel pinned into a corner to say a number, use levels.fyi or other market research that supports a very high number for you to give. Then once multiple companies have given you an offer, you can use those offers, or even particularly appealing parts of the offer, to ask for more. My most recent negotiation I had a higher cash comp (but lower total comp) at my 2nd choice company; I told my first choice that if they could beat the cash comp from other-offer, then I would sign on. I was expecting them to drop the equity a bit but they actually bumped that up, too. The line of "I will sign if..." is very powerful, but you should only use it if you mean it.

A piece that's addressed less is how to get multiple offers. I treated my job search like a funnel - I talked to as many potentially-interesting places as I could, either through my network or looking back through all my old LinkedIn cold outreach messages (and marking myself "open to offers" there).

Then I did maybe 6-7 pre-onsite "interviews" - sometimes this is a technical screen, sometimes this is coffee & in-depth conversation with the hiring manager, depending on company size and how the manager likes to hire. I tried to schedule these clustered together, to keep all my potential jobs at the same stage of the funnel.

Then I did 3 full-day onsites within a week and a half - I was working full-time so even that felt like a stretch. I only chose to onsite at places that I was really excited to work at, and where I felt very good at my chances in the onsite interviews. And luckily that resulted in 2 offers so I could negotiate.

I did actually try this funnel approach unsuccessfully a few months beforehand - I ended up with only 1 onsite I was excited enough about to take a vacation day for and then didn't pass it, so it's certainly not a fool-proof plan. But, it did work out for me in the end.

You can push on recruiters for slow companies if somewhere you're excited about is lagging behind your "funnel" - you can let them know that you've moved to onsite with 2 or more other companies but you're super excited about them so definitely want to get your phone screen scheduled asap; or you heard you're going to receive an offer and will probably need to decide within a week; is it possible to move up your onsite before that deadline? Having other interested companies is a strong signal, and recruiters will pretty much always want to rush you through if they think you're likely to be a "hire" decision from the team.
