I currently work in a unicorn which recently IPOed and can confirm that I have the same experience as the author of this article.

I also had a very similiar experience at my previous employer which was also a valley based company which IPOed.

I have multiple colleagues who are in the same boat, both current and former, and while I realize this data is anecdotal, from my perspective, work culture in the valley is just plain broken.

People are not robots, they need time to rest and adjust.
Unfortunately, his main point is 100% correct. According to the recent IPCC report, if we want to limit warming to 1.5C, we need to be at zero net carbon by 2025. But, we literally can't build the plants fast enough to accomplish that. See my comment a few weeks ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27835924

I agree with you, but I do believe there's a large cohort of people that either believe that data centers were never trustable, or they believe strongly against any kind of data collection so strongly that there is a hope everything will get pushed back out to user's devices.
I think the problem with (UK) retail parks is that they're all large and chain owned units. My point is that not far from me there is a farm that chose to convert itself into a retail park of sorts. The tenants are limited by size, and the owners chose a couple of food places, a butchers, bakers, and grocers. All independents. Ironically everything a small town or village used to have.

And business is roaring. There's clearly pent up demand for (perceived) quality and old-fashioned shops.

I made a comment on another thread, but I think the UK planners should aim for this kind of thing, a smaller retail park with traditional (food) shops, not one massive supermarket. Basically almost a satellite 'village' around a typical town.

I'd walk past a dozen Tescos for a decent butcher and baker where I live. Perhaps it's an age thing.

Macbeth isn't actually being emphasised in that sentence, rather it is using italics to demarcate the title of a work. A music album or movie's name would also appear italicised. (If they've done it right Macbeth should only be in an <i>, or <span class="art-title">, rather than an <em>, though who knows what their CMS allows/is capable of)
It's quite common practice to write the title of something in italics. I think this is just that, not an emphasis.

Objective-C (and I guess Swift too?) has ARC (see link in grandparent) which attempts to statically track the lifetime of objects at compile time. This essentially results in a "move operation" if the compiler detects that the original reference isn't used anymore after the assigment. It's basically halfway between C++'s shared_ptr-vs-unique_ptr approach, and Rust's lifetime and ownership tracking.

To clarify the special case in Rust ( 0._0 ), it's due to te definition of identifiers: https://doc.bccnsoft.com/docs/rust-1.36.0-docs-html/referenc.... _0 is an identifier, as it's an underscore followed by one alphanumeric character. Thus, 0._0 means "the field _0 of 0". Since it's an identifier starting with _, you won't get any warnings if you don't use it. Small example: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...
You should not be downvoted as you are correct. While all UK schools known as "public schools" are private, most private schools are not public schools.

I think Discord bots bots have a huge security and privacy issue where there are these mega (and less mega, but still large) bots that are just unnecessarily slurping up all private conversations in a lot of servers, without a lot of people's knowledge.

As a user in a server, you don't really have a way to consent to whatever third party bots reading your message. You've just got to hope you see that the bot was added, or see it in the user list. The server admins consent to the bot being added (and as an admin you still need to hope and trust that they're not doing anything dodgy with all the unnecessary information they're getting), but no one else in the server gets to consent or is made aware of the new audience they're broadcasting to.

I think for the broader Discord community - which is pretty broad with a lot of younger and non-technical folk - making reading messages a privilege intent is the right move.
> "And if we're talking about the construction of new power plants, then nuclear power is simply excluded. Not just because it is the most expensive form of electricity generation today, but, above all, because it takes a long time to build reactors. In other words, every euro invested in new nuclear power plants makes the climate crisis worse because now this money cannot be used to invest in efficient climate protection options."

The economic arguments in the article might be right, that nuclear just isn't price competitive anymore. But I think the argument that "anything spent on option A is taking away from option B" isn't really all that convincing. I mean, we could take money away from other things, like subsidies to fossil fuel companies and build some new nuclear power plants. Or we could build fewer aircraft carriers, or raise the tax rate on capital gains.

The main problem here isn't that we're spending too much on nuclear power plants, it's that we need to drastically expand our use of solar and wind. (And while we're at it start building out more utility-scale large battery banks, and/or build high-capacity transcontinental HVDC lines so most of the world can buy power at all times from wherever the sun is shining right then.)

It's sort of like saying that paying a thousand dollars to provide rent for someone whose house burned down is killing a bunch of people in Africa because you could have spent that money more efficiently on mosquito nets. I understand the argument, but people everywhere have needs and it's better I think in the long run to help with all the ones we can than to sort all the needs in priority order based on cost/benefit ratio.
China? They are having the worst floods and rains in a 1.000 year. I think the jury is still out there if they are going to be one of the worst affected by climate change.
There's also just the mathematical probability operating at large corporations.

E.g. the chance of having, in the same organization, PHP4 being used somewhere and at the same time, in a totally different team, the latest and greatest tensorflow ML with all the shiny new tools is quite high.

By extension usage of morally doubtful data sources is also highly probable so an organization of this size must have explicit policies and frequent reminders they condone such activities to combat that.
They don't really do it "for the company" though, they get a large paycheck to do it.

The other types exist, but they're typically in non-profits (like, the real kind, not the one where a small team is lining their pockets) and overwork themselves because they believe in the mission.

But if you make 4-10 times the national average, and you start out in your first year making more than most people will at the peak of their career, that's the biggest incentive. You absolutely can semi-retire after five years of doing that and dramatically scale down the amount of work you do because you'll have more savings than most people will have at the end of their career.
Activist politics are the product of the Board of Supervisors and the school board for the same reason that activist politics are more popular in the House than in the Senate: the boards are elected district-by-district, and don't need to tend to the views of larger masses of people. They answer to a small group of constituents, and that's it. If you have a small voter pool, being an outspoken, controversial activist helps (as long as you don't cross the specific lines your district cares about): it raises your profile because you're controversial, and since you don't need to please everyone, you're more free to say or promote ideas that many other people — who aren't in your district! — view as outrageous.

You don't really need cabals to explain it. And it's unclear to me what mechanism the cabals supposedly have to choose the mayor; why they'd choose London Breed over say, Angela Alioto (a member of the "old money elite"); why they can choose the mayor but failed to choose their desired DA in the same election cycle; etc.

Shops in general have been struggling. It is unrelated to COVID.

Rent and rates are too high. Simple as that. My dad was talking to our local hairdresser, and she explained the huge costs involved for such a simple business. Water rates were well beyond what she considered reasonable. She closed her business (before COVID), which is sad.

Rent is, presumably, something fixable by the market (although there's scant evidence of it so far). Rates, not so much. When I explained online that business rates needed to come down I was greeted by the response "but councils NEED that money". It didn't seem to occur to the woman online that business people make business decisions. If it's not profitable to run a business, then they won't. Businesses are not geese that lay golden eggs in the quantities required. You throttle their necks too hard, then they die. Then you get nothing.

There's no doubt, of course, that Amazon has had a huge effect. I can get things that would be very difficult to get otherwise.

> Canada, Russia seem to be the big winners of climate change.

Less "big winner" and more "least losers". Very much a "I'd rather be a king in hell than a beggar in heaven" kind of things.

Climate change will alter what latitudes crops can be grown in, but between the more erratic climate patterns (which make it harder to grow crops at all) and the absence of any built-up quality soil high up, it will mostly lead agricultural output to drop precipitously.

Heavy subsidence from melting permafrost and cratering from methane explosion won't help either.

And then, obviously, modern industrial agriculture is not just a bloke going out on a field and throwing a few seeds they found in their pantry or in a rock crack, there's an entire chain of supplies and knowledge undergirding it.

> China seem to be the big winners of climate change.

Have you ever looked what altitude China's major population and agriculture centers are? The north china plain is barely 50m above sea level at its highest point.

Now that doesn't mean it can't be leveraged e.g. the CCP may well be planning to use this in order to, say, declare emergencies, draft everyone and prosecute massive expansion wars, but I wouldn't say "China" in the sense of its people would be a big winner of that.

One of the things that psychedelics teach you, is that what your mind perceives to be reality, is your reality at that point in time. In other words, as conscious beings experiencing the world through qualia, the phrase "it's all in your mind" is deeply true. The world as experienced during a trip does not match the cold, concrete day-to-day external world, but these psychedelic experiences do not interact with that world, they interact with the soft, malleable, subjective internal world.

If these people have built up an expectation that psychedelic use will trigger a revelatory change in perspective, and it does - whether by placebo or neurochemical means - then isn't it fair to say that they are working as intended?

Before the usual ignorant HN thread postings:

We know:

- exactly what the WIV labs were for - to make corona viruses using humanized mice - their lungs were modified to be similar to humans, and papers were published on findings of the lab.

- that the WIV labs withdrew 2 sets of online corona databases in 2020: the NIH repo and their own online repo in excel format. The NIH set has been partially recovered, although NIH itself could have backups.

- that Batlady said in her first interview after the pandemic started that she needed to check if it came from her lab

- that the public upload of the COVID-19 genome was unauthorized

- Wuhan people don't eat bats

- Fauci and Daszak were involved in funding WIV, and covered it up.

- a Chinese general took over the lab shortly after the Wuhan outbreak

I could go on for another 20 facts, but the point is we know WIV is at the center of the pandemic through a multitude of indirect facts. (This is called the "ledger" theory that WIV was responsible.)

I expect batteries could get pretty cheap if made in the volume we'd need to power whole cities through the night. But for now there's not so much reason to build those because the proportion of power that comes from renewables is so low that excess production is rarely a problem. There's not much incentive to store solar power for the nighttime when you can sell all that power during the day and people still have to run fossil fuel and nuclear to make up the difference. I suppose as the proportion of solar goes up, the price of daytime electricity will drop and it'll be more attractive to use batteries.

(Places with significant hydroelectric might not even need much storage if they just run water through the turbines at night, or whenever they have a shortfall. Or even pump water back uphill when there's a surplus.)
First of all, this wasn't about a service on the internet, but a P2P network. I want to download and upload data over BitTorrent, or to have conversations over TeamSpeak, but that doesn't mean I want to manage my PC like a public server.

Having a public server on the path, which is what hole-punching does, helps with this, especially in the area of DDoS, since attackers first have to fool the hole-punch server before attacking any specific peer directly.

Is shooting back up into the air after dropping cargo a problem, or an opportunity?

If you need to pick up other cargo then some way to cleverly swap the weight from one to the other could be good, but if it's mostly outgoing weight then that doesn't seem to be an actual problem as long as all the connections let go at the same time.
You have two problems here. The first is "dumb af". If you actually want a discussion, remain civil. The second is that climate change is a much longer and more variable process than 20 years. Although you may not have intended it, this comes across a bit like Trump pointing to the fact that there's still snow despite "global warming". Perhaps this is the coldest year in 20 years, but (a) that doesn't change the fact that average temperatures are going up and (b) that the predictions of climate change are a less predictable climate, not just steady year-on-year rises in a single place.
