I talked with Rivian recently. 100% got the impression they're trying to pump candidates for relevant IP from their previous employers.

"Put together a detailed presentation on something you worked on. The more detailed the better - code, schematics, block diagrams".

Um, excuse me? Did you just ask for IP from my previous employer, directly?
That's quite a gap, though. Windows 95 could (but you wouldn't want to) run on a 386 with 4 MB of RAM. 8 MB was recommended. New PCs were still being sold in 1995 with less than 8 MB of RAM. Both NT 3.51 and 4.0 had a minimum requirement of 12 MB just to start. You'd want more to have breathing room. Few new machines could meet that in '96, let alone the large base of 486 and even 386 machines still kicking around.

I figure that if Microsoft had released NT as a consumer OS that early (with 3.5 or 4.0) it would have been a disaster. There wasn't much of a market for a new OS that required twice the specs of the average new PC while having mediocre backwards compatibility. Even if it didn't crash much.
2K was awesome - the main reason to steal XP drivers is that video cards often didn’t have 2K, only 98SE and XP.
My understanding is that they basically got FSF to provide them a statement that regardless of what GPLv3 might be read to require, the FSF indicates it could not be used to force key disclosure in the Ubuntu situation.

This worked, because FSF ALSO owned the copyright to Grub2 - so was allowed to modify (if needed) the copyright license or give up rights. So by having FSF as copyright owner provide them this statement - I think they (reasonably) felt covered in case FSF later changed their mind.

The FSF I think also had to do this with GCC - didn't they do a runtime license exception or something because there were lots of concerns about using GCC when license moved up (CLang benefited at the time).

I think FSF realized it was just a terrible look if the GPLv3 drove a group like Ubuntu onto a microsoft solution.

Illustrates a bit how tricky / scary the (relatively long) GPLv3 can be.
A. "serious bicycle or transit prioritization in our major (US) urban areas" will not make a dent in the world global emissions.

B. The level of cuts required to bring the world to sustainable emissions level, combined with global population growth and global equity, would require that everybody to live with under 1.7t/year CO2 emissions by 2050. This is the level of Albania, Colombia or Morocco, complete political dead end on both left and right.

The crux of the problem is that there are no solutions. Even the 'we should do something about it' crowd is utterly incapable in articulating the depth of the cuts needed avert disaster, or articulate the life of the average American after such cuts. Hint: the Great Depression would be 'the good times' in comparison.
This is exactly it. People in Canada I often see blindly pushing for this stuff but they don't realize a lot of police departments here already have had these kinds of resources they utilize and have been having success with them before the BLM stuff got popular. But now the BLM stuff surrounding it makes it focused on the wrong goals and creates controversy and drama and it's rather annoying.
Safe space in the real world is way, way more unrealistic and absurd.
I'd rather prefer my surgeon, should I ever need one, be one of those "asinine miniscule" top 1526 applicants selected based on pure merit.
This is not surprising. The police are not really interested in helping people, rather just blindly enforcing the law, and let's not even talk about prejudices.

If we tried to help people instead of chastise them, we would be a much more utopian civilisation. Happy to see experiments being done by governments in this regard.
NT4 was great if you were running anything aside from games.

I remember there was some kludged up gravis ultrasound drivers for NT where you had to boot into DOS to set the card up and then soft reset into windows NT for it to work.

I then realized I could cut the reset trace on the ISA B2 reset pin on the gravis card and wire it through a switch so I only had to boot into DOS once to set the card up and could reboot as many times as I wanted as long as I didn't turn the PSU off. good times...

> "or even XP"

XP had a fair number of issues at release. It didn't really become stable until around the timeframe of Service Pack 2, which was also around the time hardware manufacturers had finally mostly gotten their act together writing proper XP device drivers.
Ick, yeah, you're right: might've been thinking hash-then-sign, but backwards.
You seem to have misunderstood my comment.
> As an aside, I really dislike the increasing use of "tipping points"

Tipping points have been part of the conversation all along. They are a reality we have to deal with. Sounds to me like you need to come to terms with that reality: that we have a huge problem barreling towards us and we need to respond urgently, immediately and dramatically.
Why have Linus and company not embraced some version of AGPL based on GPLv2? I really don't understand why such a license doesn't exists. It sounds like it'd be right up their alley.

Companies use and modify his code, building their businesses on them, and then are not distributing their changes back. Arguably the whole cloud revolution has been built on this. Better make a SaaS and freeload on other people's work than make client side software and be forced to share your work (and technical advantage)

"could run" is a very apt phrase - I remember installing office upgrades in that era, users would go to lunch when we started the upgrade and it would still be installing an hour later.

Mostly it was just constant disk thrashing due to the lack of ram.

Machines were usable otherwise as users mostly just ran word, outlook, and a bunch of telnet sessions. Most users took the NT option as windows 95 was so unstable.
So even if we accept that 25% increase, why are people eating 25% more than they were before? It sounds like this paper is pointing to some possible answers.

Had naively hoped the title (“prevent world from hitting 1.5 degree Celsius”) was suggesting unexpected good news (e.g. not reaching a 1.5C rise) rather than reinforcing the apparent impossibility of achieving “only” a 1.5 degree increase (i.e. “prevent world from hitting 1.5C target”).
Chernobyl is one of the main reasons the USSR collapsed.

Communist parties, as always, cover up disasters to maintain "stability" (ie. credibility as the only governing party.)

The Chernobyl coverup became public, discrediting the party as incompetent at governing.

I have one of these too (including the terrible logitech portrait) and I think the important verification going on is that 1) once you're approved, your passport number is linked and the book can be cross-referenced and 2) I believe DHS is now doing facial recognition at global entry terminals, which does away with the card totally.
No reason to single out California farmers, all of the aquifers in the western United States have seen serious depletion. Rain water reclamation will help but it seriously jeopardizes the wildlife that depend on streams and tributaries.

When it diverts funding away from mainstream policing then it would be very strongly opposed by police unions.

And it does not need simply a lack of opposition. It needs people to actively support it, and be motivated to support it as it requires funding.

And there’s a bunch of straw manning in your arguments that is quite distasteful.
When explained the way decisions are made in Japan, I encountered a notion that I wish was more considered: the idea that taking a decision is a separate process than applying the decision.

Since then, I have wondered why no companies tried to make the processes separate, like we do in democratic countries by separating legislative, judiciary and executive branches.

It explains the horrific clickbait, manipulative editing to omit critical information, impartiality breaches and the total garbage articles you see on most of their so-called "News" sections.

I've been thinking why media and politicians use so radical language. My guess is that moderate language will be seen by their voters as a conspiracy of some sort. You say "mental health responders" but the radical voters read it as "hmm.. by not demanding to defund police he must be secretly supporting police, so he must be a republican and we don't want any of those here". There was an HN post explaining this idea better, why there are no moderate centrists these days: those would be ousted by both hard left and hard right.

While I'm a proponent of strengthening individuals to be resilient to online bullies like this I would agree that Kiwi Farms is a problem. They were sharing video of the Christchurch shooting shortly after the attack.

I'm also a strong proponent of freedom of speech and association. I'm not sure the best way to handle groups like this. Hate speech laws, IMO, cause more harm than good. In this case however there is another angle of attack, this was targeted harassment. This should and can be cracked down on much harder than it is.

I'm truly saddened that this dev committed suicide and hope that others will not suffer the same fate.

Seriously, most of the gains you get from test prep are from taking a few practice tests to get comfortable with the format and the question types. I found a $20 test prep book more useful than the course I took (which mostly consisted of giving us a practice tests anyway). If I’d needed help with fundamental Algebra and Geometry, to the point of needing tutoring, a selective college would not have been the right place for me, frankly.

The problem is much more fundamental, we need to try to solve the severe economic stresses for underprivileged kids’ families if we want them to have a fair shot at higher education and the success it supposedly grants, not these little tactical band-aids. They need economic opportunities and safety nets.
I have some really tasty carp recipes :)

I like to eat random fishes and Carp has been one of the hardest to figure out how to accent correctly. It has lots of bones and the flavor of really "in the dirt" catfish. So far Fish Sauce, Cumin, Curry and a few other things really work well. Also kinda have to cook it slow so everything absorbs.
Then the question becomes why did people start eating more food in the 80's than they did before? What changed in their environment that caused this change in behavior? And how is it that this change is apparently in the whole developed world, and also effects other animals, not just humans?

The argument in response is that it is legitimate for the government to legislate to promote the health of its citizens, as we are seeing with lockdown laws in COVID-19. That people break lockdown laws is not a reason not to have lockdown laws. So the argument involves a bit more analysis than simply accepting that 'prohibition doesn’t stop teens from drinking'.

So, this just invites the same perennial arguments frequently made in relation to drug decriminilisation.

On my part, had the drinking age been 21 where I live, I wouldn't have started drinking until I was 21.
The most likely explanation for this is some combination of 1) lab animals being fed more over time because researchers themsevles have been normalized to bigger food portions, 2) incomparable data of lab animals feeding over time, and 3) fraud because of the pressure to show unusual results.
I forget what it was my wife and I were applying for, but we had to produce a "certified copy" of our marriage license. We were just like "yeah, whatever" and toted along the real thing. This was shot down because they needed a certified copy, which turned out to be a completely bland and unremarkable printout that could have come from anywhere.
From working at a att store for a while, I'll say that there is far more fraud than most would think. Perhaps it was because I worked in a little bit of a poorer area, but we actively turned away 25-40% of customers on any given day out of suspicion of fraud. If a customer stopped paying for their phone we would have that commission taken back next month. Even with that many people being turned down you still lost a lot of commission every month.

Regarding your fascination about western history ‘beginning with the Greeks’ I would say the reason why is fairly obvious if you follow the history.

Despite the locus of civilisation being in Mesopotamia and Egypt from 5-6000BCE to 500BCE by the time of this discovery (1-200BCE) Egypt had been conquered by Alexander and the (Mid East and Eastern Mediterranean) world divided between his generals.
Additionally, whilst there is so much we don’t know of the thought and philiosophy of the area, what has survived to us today in terms of philosophy and law comes from the Greeks and Romans.

So for the very early antiquity, you had mathematics and other vestiges of civilisation flowing from Egypt and Mesopotamia to other parts of the world, and then later the conquest of these areas by the Greeks first and then others.

Anyway, your comments mark you as being well informed on the history so I am sure you don’t need a lesson from me, maybe the other point I’d make is that the breadth and detail of history makes generalisations such as ‘western history begins with the Greeks’ a more palatable launchpad for consumption than breaking down the nuance that inevitably unfolds on more profound study
Speaking of mental health. Many of the people that have been arrested for Jan 6th, are currently held in 23 hour solitary confinement and likely will be there until 2022, since so many cases will be delayed due to how many people have been arrested.

The UNs Mandela rules dictate that being in solitary for more than 15 days is torture.

Since those arrested are political prisoners, they fall under the UN umbrella.
