Great initiative!

I offset my emissions with Wren (https://wren.co – I am not affiliated) and wonder how it compares to Carbon Removed. My current plan there is ~$23 to offset 200% of my emissions for a total of 1.3 tons of CO2/month (if that seems low: I have no car, no commute, live in a 1-bedroom apartment and rarely eat meat).

The plans for Carbon Removed are at $15 for 100 kg, $42 for 300 kg, and $65 for 500 kg. Why such a difference? That's $0.13-0.15/kg for Carbon Removed and $0.018/kg at Wren.

Where is the difference coming from?
It's not fair to equate war deaths with genocide deaths
That works for a temporary development environment in e.g. shell.nix. But what about the global environment?
The rumors from rumor sources are that the M1X or M2 was expected to be released at WWDC but delayed because of delays sourcing Mini LED panels. Obviously that's based on rumors, but it's a lot more plausible than the hypothesis that Apple, a company which has executed a very similar platform transition before while maintaining internal builds for their target platform, vastly overestimated their own capabilities.
The politico article only says “work with SMS providers”. Not sure what “mete out” refers to in the tweet, but it’s Twitter, so prone to capturing random verbiage. Still “working with” needs explaining.

Don’t forget Obama expanded surveillance. Looking at your comms is bipartisan.
I took the bait when you said you were Jewish and acknowledged that Jewish culture has a bad habit of trying to invalidate and censor people, as this is what you are trying to do. It is becoming less convincing to the international community and I am now willing to test that theory.

I quickly edited that to say more generally that your surroundings and influences likely are what make you think that bad habit is a solution, and that its due for introspection. I dont know if you are Jewish and this was an attempt to be diplomatic and reduce the further derailing of the conversation, as it seemed unlikely you would ever engage or defend your actual positions.

It remains accurate that you are aiming to invalidate and censor me for my message, instead of identify specific points of inaccuracy and discuss them. It remains accurate that you have not elaborated on your position.
Interesting article, I'm not sure if it applies to my situation or not. I use ImprovMX to forward several domains to one of my other domains.

I think one thing the article doesn't really mention is that the domain sending the email is only one (potentially small) factor in classifying email as spam or not. Gmail has done just fine classifying different emails as spam that are being forwarded from the same domain. After all think of how much spam is sent from the gmail.com domain.

Every point here applies to both vaccinated and unvaccinated. Point 3 ignores the role of natural immunity which has been shown to be just as effective as the vaccine. Ultimately, this has become a political issue. And like all political issues, people find all sorts of strawman arguments to demonize people who don't agree with them.
Then you need to help me write the queries . Then you need to help me with the API calls. And yes I will shadow IT all day long until you work with me on a better solution then just downloading CSV files. If you aren’t going to help me and do your best to get me a solution, Even if not perfect, I am definitely skeptical of your requests and need to watch out for empire building. I’m not writing SELECT * queries man - I have very specific data requests and have an MS in Comp Sci so while I’m far from a DBA, I’m respectful of things I don’t know. You can’t just say “no we aren’t writing requests today”.

I don’t think people should install just any program willy nilly, but why in the fuck can’t I install SSIS from Microsoft to help me deal with shitty “here’s some csv’s” service I sometimes get? Literally no reason ever ever to not be able to download that.
Sure. But the article isn't wrong to link them.
Apple’s OS optimization for their processors doesn’t really look like what you’re describing, it’s more general-purpose than that except for a handful of hardware accelerators for extremely hot code.
abandon all hope and do not even think about starting working on a cpu without the full register documentation (which is often not available without an NDA)

The OP specifically said:

> COVID is becoming more deadly over time because there is a selective pressure towards more transmissibility. More transmissibility can increase the severity of illness if the virus more readily replicates or more easy infects human cells.

I read that as talking about infection fatality rate (IFR). I'm not aware of any evidence that covid's IFR is increasing.
Yeah it may be better to try to make it on youtube or to participate in productions that go to youtube, to get into the field.
Macs are not phones, I don’t see why they need to be updated in the same cycle.
Perfectly reasonable, hope you find good talent :)
It is unfortunate you had such a bad experience. It's even more unfortunate that there a many more such companies out there.

As a CFO, I want to earn a seat at the table where decisions are made. Finance frequently has access to a significant amount of data about the company and if the Finance team does it job well, they turn that into useful information. Bringing key information to the executive team (and entire company at times) to facilitate the decision-making process is one part of how to earn that seat.

Finance does not have all of the information. The Technology (IT/Engineering/Product Dev/etc) team will have a unique perspective. Marketing will have a unique perspective. The People team will have a unique perspective. I think a company with a strong culture figures out how to embrace all of these perspectives and collaborates to develop world class products and services.

Finance does get tasked with evaluating the ROI question - does the proposed investment opportunity create more financial benefit (can be expansively evaluated) than the investment. That should be to ensure a consistent process and is frequently because Finance is viewed as independent from the group requesting the investment.

A good CFO, heck an average CFO, wants to support good investments. It is always more exciting to say 'yes' than 'no' and importantly the company grows by making smart investments. I have never seen a compensation structure for a CFO that provides for increased compensation for always saying 'no.'
Yep, I came here to mention the QuickTime volume control wheel, which was strangely missing from the article. Skeuomorphism gone mad.

That's because the prosecution only go for cases they are very certain about. That alone is bad, but on top of that it breeds a culture of them 'always being right and how dare you question us'.

Sorry, but it's a sign of a justice system very out of whack and not something to defend.

People are only okay with it because most people don't have any interaction with law enforcement, let alone the justice system.
We're headed towards that, anyway, but don't get too excited for Pfizer. The mRNA vaccines are selling for $15-$20 per dose, but flu shots are $2. There's a competitor in the market, and it's a new technology, so prices will drop fast.
No, I was trying to prevent poor quality replies that blamed him. Because most people’s first instinct for a lot of general pandemic countermeasures skepticism is to think “trump”. I actually think Trump’s vaccine procurement was one of the best things his administration did.

As for your theory, is isn’t that convincing. Lots of government skeptic states had vaccination programs. Only now that that has become political are they cutting them.

I’m wondering how it came to be so political and more specifically how the politicians purposefully make their own lives harder.

Something like business lockdowns or a mask mandate at the least have costs: you get pandemic control but restrict people.

However, bringing vaccines to people who want them is basically a free lunch for a govt: you save much more than you spend and coerce no one. So what are the incentives driving this?
I'd guess 99+% of Arduino projects use the C/C++ thing the Arduino IDE uses.

Micro Python and Circuit Python will run on a lot of the same boards Arduino IDE works with, but it's a much much smaller scene then Arduino/C++ I think.
yes, exactly. avoid the middle part - fresh and refrigerated food is on the outside usually. Processed in the middle. Anything that has a nutrition label on it, is probably not nutritious is my rule of thumb, there are exceptions of course, frozen vegetables, canned veg, grains etc.
There’s also a global pandemic going on that’s affecting the supply chain for a bunch of components.
Or it’s possible that your public school helped make you into the person your professor thought had potential.

Re: Seattle. I didn’t say “the public school system is perfect and never does anything stupid.” I said, “it is a net-good for the government to provide free education, which people can then improve upon with more expensive private or family options.” Surely that distinction will not be lost on a Caltech grad :)
The fact that they address it doesn't change the fact that it's a ridiculous distinction to make.

The idea that you can even "solicit" a child to receive vaccines (as if they're an addictive pharmaceutical rather than a baseline preventative measure in the developed world) is farcical. Making the state's medical infrastructure contort itself to avoid referring to children in the second person reeks of politics over public health.
Makes you wonder about those sex-ed teachers, eh?

> You forgot the part where the US bribes the queen to dissolve the parliament so that Boris doesn't nationalize British Petroleum

Also the part where the CIA pays for and stages a coup attempt just so that it can use it as a pretext to use other forces that it is also paying to suppress the armed uprising on behalf of the Queen, with the resulting security situation being the public pretext used for the disillusion of parliament.
Definitely SAP. If you believe the movie, Facebook. Trello/Stack Exchange (Foghat)
Knowing some of these people and having candid conversations with them, the answers I hear (which I pretty much 100% disagree with) are:

Mask requirements in a pandemic? = attack on personal freedom/liberty

Taxes? = not a problem… trump took care of that.

Cancel culture? = stupid lib tears.

Seat belt laws? = attack on personal freedom/liberty… same as helmet laws for motorcyclists.

Gun buying restrictions? = attack on personal freedom/liberty

Brown neighbors? (actually not a big problem in the south since most neighborhoods are “voluntarily” segregated, but…) = the community will go to hell and property values will decrease.
Shoot just make the MBP 16 with 2 M1’s that are designed to run in parallel and only fire up #2 when you need it.
I worked in the film industry for about six years post college (camera: loader, 2nd AC mostly) and a member of the Cinematographers Guild. The apprenticeship model is still largely in place and folks come into the industry from all sides. That said, above the line and below the line are different worlds, and people I knew who came from money/Hollywood legacy did seem to have real advantages there. I ultimately left because the lifestyle wouldn’t be good for me long term (even if it was fun in my 20’s).
So that has created an incentive for the local politicians to make their own lives harder, more or less? Plausible.

What’s driving Carlson’s incentives?
So apparently the kerfuffle started when someone posted a memo to social media, according to (now fired) official Michelle Fiscus: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/health/2021/07/12/covi...

Someone thought this memo, which was a technical legal document distributed to medical providers, was undermining parents choice. A lot of Tennessians agreed, called their state senators, etc, and now this happens.

The argument that it undermines parental authority is stupid, and I won't talk about that. What's more interesting is that this is a very clear cut case of the real-world harm social media can do.

The tide of outrage and ignorance can be powerful and is unchecked by its own absurdity. The emotional appeal to Trumpians who already feel victimized, bitter, and antagonistic to government, especially WRT healthcare, is unmistakable. It doesn't matter if it makes sense logically, or is inconsistent with Trumps own statements. The outrage is the point. The people in power who encourage ride these tidal waves of dangerous ignorance endanger us all in a very real way. Since all forms of self-restraint are now passe, apparently, it's time to consider options for restraining them.
People don't like the government telling them how to live their lives. They especially don't like the government telling them how to parent. And they extra especially don't like the government going behind their backs and telling their kids that their parents don't know how to parent.

The wording is "stop vaccine outreach to kids" not "stop vaccine outreach to parents"

This really doesn't seem that surprising to me.
That might even show that over time the Japanese system does a better job deterring crime
I'd suggest picking all three of those. Each has advantages and disadvantages for different types of project, and experience with all three will definitely be a good thing.

My suggestion is think up or choose a project you think might be fun, then work out (or ask for advice) on which of those three choices is most suitable, and go learn how to build it.
> If we follow that premise, then advertising or giving alcohol to minors should be illegal too.. and it is!

Alcohol and Tobacco etc are generally regulated substances.

They cannot be obtained even by Adults in all circumstances, for example legislation may prohibit the sale of alcohol at certain venues or require a license to do so. The premise on advertising has less to do with consent I would say, but rather the health and social implications of such substances.

While the issue at hand with the vaccines maybe one of consent, it is a different situation.

This also seems to step farther than this, in its intent to restrict the use of school property to host vaccination drives. This serves no public good as far as I can imagine, it has nothing to do with consent either.

While the concept of consent should be obtained by parents in many situations, the idea that this is solicitation is a long bow and goes in general against the public good.
Should have sorted out moving to a country that wouldn't extradite them in their deal with Ghosn then.

Ghosn would have been desperate enough to provide it.
Very true. I got lucky living in the International House which is a big dorm. 7.5x10ft rooms for $750/month with food included. I didn't mind it but I can't fathom folks who have families or want to live alone manage that.
Stripping liability protection from vaccine manufacturers would inspire confidence.
‘Dystopian nightmare’: The unlikely opponents of working from home
Living in Chattanooga, and watching as TN politics continue to leave me dumbfounded, I've come to believe that no matter where you are in this country, rural is rural and urban is urban. Upstate NY is just like rural TN. Sure, the state government seems to be more liberal, but it has many scandals and the same political sleaze as TN.

In the end, the best thing we can do is to insulate ourselves and our loved ones from government intervention, focus on local politics, and take control of our own consumption i.e. we can't rely on the government to do what's best for our children.

We should use these high paying remote jobs to buy nice homes with lots of space and access to good schools and healthcare. The rest of it will sort of work itself out.

And if we're being honest, climate change will get us before the government here can /shrug
FP&A agrees. For what it’s worth, I never did MBA. I did finance undergrad and it just felt duplicative to do it again. It can be limiting to an extent but it’s also meritocratic once you’re in. It’s a screening question for many employers at the manager/director level and up but if you haven’t built a strong enough network by then than something is off anyways. (Make friends with recruiters.)
> I would bet that Japanese in the U.S. evince rates of criminality more similar to those of Japanese in Japan than to the rest of American society

What makes you believe that? If true, what might cause that to be the case?
Nope, I am saying that there are many individuals in those functions that a solution creates more work for them, so they default to “no”. Hard no’s are understood in some cases - i.e. installing random nonsense from the internet. However, A “No, here’s why. But...” is way more helpful and generates a lot of respect from business partners.

I believe that in this case it's simply convenience/laziness to have a single notifications codebase across both operating systems? That and Windows didn't have native notifications when it was first developed. Not that it excuses a big chat application from MS behaving this way, just saying that they probably didn't deliberately choose to re-implement notifications just because they didn't like the OS ones.

How do you deal with meat leftovers? You can compost plant remains but meat becomes another issue.
I went to Columbia. Many reasons folks wind up in General Studies. Two common ones are you didn’t get into good schools but your dad is both loaded and encouraging that a Columbia degree is worth it. Another is you’re between 40 and 60 and trying to reinvent yourself and/or your love life.

It’s a cash cow, akin to the Learning Annex.

Apologies, I misunderstood your tone.

I disagree with that point. Where I live, there has been a very strong coercion angle. It's very obviously government sponsored.

Vermont is one of my favorite states in the union. The state motto is "freedom and unity" and you get the feeling that everyone is on the same team there.

New Hampshire's state motto is "live free or die." If you die in New Hampshire, it's probably because someone else was living free.
The whole damn last year and a half has been nothing but raw appeals to authority. Critical thinking and healthy skepticism has been met with extreme vitriol.
there's still a lot of cool stuff that could be done in silicon:

1) cross execution caching of unchanged segments of code: if the ram state doesn't change across runs for a set of instructions, could execution be sped up by caching that ram state with os and silicon support for applying it?

2) assured computing: cryptographic guarantees about exactly which instructions executed, on which physical machine with what inputs

3) hardware support for accelerated vms emulating other architectures

4) more efficiency gains by having more stuff like the low power cores for light workloads

5) more of the cool specialty cores for accelerating ml/dsp/linalg

6) better in-silicon multitenant separation for security

7) in-silicon support for reducing memory costs of running multiple versions that are mostly similar of libraries (hardware support for containers)

are just a few... apple is in a great place because their vertical integration makes some of these possible. (and the good stuff of course would eventually make it to commodity hardware)
Please correct me if I’m wrong but (s)he’s saying running docker inside a single Linux VM is more efficient than running the Docker beta (multiple VMs). You seem to be saying that Docker runs inside a Linux VM either way which no one is disputing…
Seems a bit premature, honestly. If you’ve been paying attention to iPhones, Apple has been pushing steady improvements year after year. Some years it’s more, some year it’s less, but every year they have a new microarchitecture and it’s faster than the one from last year. I see no reason for Apple to suddenly stop being able to improve performance in their next generation chips, especially as they clearly have much more thermal and multicore headroom to spend.
The few times I've been to a Comcast store in person have been surprisingly helpful and pleasant. I'm sure it depends on the location, but it was a much better experience than calling/online.

"solicit" has a few definitions.

In this case, I think it's used as in "advertising" or "pitching" versus "encouraging illegal behavior" so I think they're using it neutrally vs nefarious.
I wonder if they can't ship the same M1 but with some external RAM and GPU. It won't speed up some apps, but it'll help with Pro apps.

I'm going to be honest: while the author certainly has credibility, and whilst there's nothing really factually wrong with any technicals mentioned here, the opinions here seem nonsensical and show a lack of understanding of how chips are made.

Apple's chip design team is working on M3 if not M4 right now.
Wtf would Mossad get involved, and if they did why would they send him to Japan.

Ask HN: Non-Tech People on HN?
Hello everybody! The other day on a thread I meet an electrician on HN, and TBH I was pleasantly surprised.

I might have formed an idea of the stereotypical HN crowd that is too narrow of naive, but now I'm curious... who are y'all? I'm quite aware of the academics, software/hardware engineers, founders, etc... but, who else is here? What do you do for a living?

I'll start, I was a pastor :-) but it wasn't until I started in software that I came across this community.
