Sometimes my dad sends me photos over Whatsapp, and I have noticed that they appear in my Photos app before I have opened/viewed the actual Whatsapp message. I assume that this is happening because i have given Whatsapp access to my Photos. But, it does appear that attachment/image processing is happening via Whatsapp without my control/without my viewing the message + its attachments.
I would assume they import fuel so this makes sense too.
I overlooked the URL. Seeing that or the original title I would have understood what this was.

But now, my first guess was actually that this was about some much debated football match and that the floating point bug was present in some software used by the referees when reviewing replays.
I use Yabai without disabling SIP. It basically means some of the functionality won't work, but the main tiling stuff still works great. For me, the main feature that won't work without disabling SIP is commands to manipulate spaces and move windows between them, but I've got used to just using one workspace per monitor and hiding/showing windows as needed now anyway.
Well, it ran for half a century and we never had anything within the atmosphere destroyed by a solar storm.
They’re not the total biomass. Are you intentionally clowning me here? Just because a couple species types have declined by X%, the total global biomass has not declined by that much.

This paper tries to measure the thing you claimed as 75% over the last hundred or so years as actually being around 45% over the last 5,000 years. http://vaclavsmil.com/wp-content/uploads/PDR37-4.Smil_.pgs61... I found this on the greenpeace website, so if anything this is probably a gross overestimate.
Oh come on... spend 10 minutes on YouTube and you'll find tons of it.

There have been countless articles and posts written about this problem over the last several years.

I would challenge _you_ to go educate yourself on this rather than ask others to bring this widely available and widely accepted information to you.
One side deliberately conflates legal and illegal immigration.

I'm not saying that you're arguing anything.

> Who are you quoting here?

Nobody. But if the fact that Google reserves the right to ban people for reasons described in its ToS is an argument for something, I'd like to know what else it could be an argument for. Who cares what Google reserves?

edit: I'm being sloppy. "Google reserved the right to delete for this reason," and "private things that reserve rights get them", and "Google is private" equals "Google gains this right." This would be an argument you could make. However, you haven't made this argument.

Are you making an argument about choosing youtube? I might be mistaking a pragmatic observation for a political/legal discussion.
Does an AMD Chiplet Have a Core Count Limit?
There are lots of Ask HN submissions that never get to the Ask HN section. As mentioned by others, all submissions to Ask HN need to cross a threshold. I don't know if the threshold is different from the front (news) page. I suspect yes.

There are also lots of Ask HN submissions that remain a bit stagnant in the Ask HN section for days without much comment. Unlike the fast-moving news homepage, I suspect Ask HN entries need at least a few days to attract attention and comments.

Occasionally, the Ask HN section includes entries that have nothing to do with Ask HN. For example, as I write this message, there is an entry in the Ask HN section (without using the Ask HN title) which is in fact a Show HN entry. (The submission is Python Functional-streams A Library to write concise functional code.) I'm not sure how these entries make their way into Ask HN - perhaps the author edited the title to remove 'Ask HN'?.
> Economics 101

Economics isn't a science, so this class is essentially as valuable as any art or philosophy class at prediction reality or informing us of how we are supposed to act: Not at all, unless you put significant amounts of personal effort in.
This is really sad to see. This seems like a potentially good idea (long term) that was horribly executed. Reminds me of the Munich Linux fiasco [1].

How’s this for irony. My high school guidance counselor told me that’d never pass college and now I’m teaching at one!

I don’t get to decide who has the ability to learn algebra. All I get to do in this regard is determine who knows enough to pass.
The current “ivermectin is a dangerous horse dewormer” debacle has been the biggest example of a moment where I’m not sure whether everyone is lying at this point. YouTube censored a few videos with actual experts and doctors who were discussing ivm.

Yes we had issues with HCQ in the beginning, but ivm is being actually studied right now by Oxford Uni/NHS in their big covid trials in the UK… it’s amazing what a hit job the media is doing on it.
Not all college is not expensive. Diploma mills and elite colleges and pseudo-elite private colleges are expensive. Liberal arts degrees are expensive.
Your local public community/technical college has great ROI for a career-related field. In most states, your public university has a great ROI as well. (If you are paying full price, it may be because you are on the "diploma mills" track within a multi-track school)
I can personally attest to creating and fixing floating point bugs to do with real life football games.
Latency makes a bigger impact on UX than throughput for general browsing. A TLS handshake can be multiple roundtrips that greatly benefit from lower latency, especially mobile devices.

Modern CDNs also provide lots of functionality from security (firewall, DDOS) to application delivery (image optimization, partial requests).
The point is, in middle eastern societies, the realities of working in STEM don't impact the choices women make for their college majors as much. Most of them go to college before marriage with the expectation of not having a long term career in what they study (public colleges are almost always free there, btw). They decide what to do considering different sets of pressures in comparison to women in the west.

Women in more egalitarian societies make their choices under different pressures. They need more of a long-term plan for their career choice and they don't have as many children or marry or leave the workforce as early nor as often as women in the middle east.

Do note though that as more women get into STEM, the experienced and perceived discrimination levels drop dramatically and even more women make the switch. Also, I think it's useful to note that there has been a systemic reduction in what I call the level of "generational misogyny." I can confirm from my own experience that there is a huge difference in how older vs younger (<40yo) men interact with women.

Younger folks are way more egalitarian and some of them assume that they all get the same treatment from older folks but that is just not true. A 30 years old male researcher could have entirely pleasant and productive working relationships with both female researchers in his generation and male researchers in their 60s. He might not expect or understand the degree of hostility or discrimination his female colleagues face when dealing with these very same older researchers. I believe that as time passes and the egalitarian culture actually gets to the "top of the food chain," we will see a distribution that is more representative of male and female preferences without the added discriminatory pressure.
They literally have. That's exactly what nearly all of history has been. Women face an entire pipeline of people trying to stop them from pursuing anything beyond a family. My wife, in high school, was directly told never to take any math in college because girls can't do math. From the moment they are born, most women were told they can't do things boys can do. Yes, these days a fair amount of girls are finally told they can do things, but they still face discrimination. A man fails at something and they'll be told to stand back up and keep trying. A woman fails, and they get told, "well, nice try, you did your best! Go ahead and start a family!"

As another anecdote, I have friends that are married and both in the same science field in academia. Both work at the same university. The woman was told that she needed to prove that she wasn't just hired because of her husband. The man was not told the same.
If there was a clear alternative that’d be one thing, but there isn’t, and I suspect this creator is one of those high-quality-but-small-audience channels where they don’t have enough pull to bootstrap an alternative themselves. So it seems kind of naive to say “that can only be a good thing”.
The funny thing is, while advertising all of that, they're not providing free SMTP service that actually allow you to send properly GPG encrypted emails to protect your privacy.

So for me, ProtonMail is basically a web email service, a nice web email service to be completely fair, but without perks. I will never call them an "encrypted email" service.
And in 1970 direct deposit did not exist, everyone was paid by check and could go cash it at the issuing bank, which was always local. Man or woman. Whether you had an account or not.

Indymedia UK didn't log the IPs of website visitors. They used an Apache module that stripped IPs from Apache log messages. I know this, because I had root on the server.

Indymedia was widely infiltrated, I think; certainly there were some infiltrators, and they often trolled that Indymedia loggeed IP addresses.

There was a tool we could use to capture addresses; they were captured to memory only, and the tool could only be switched on for a limited time; it usually got switched on for less than an hour - long enough to find and block the addresses of particularly egregious spammers and trolls.

An SMTP server could be run without address logging; but a commercial SMTP server would be damned hard to administer without IP addresses in the logs.

[Edit] Indymedia had two servers seized in the UK; one was the property of Bristol Indymedia, and didn't run Apache. The other was run by Indy UK, and didn't log addresses. There was therefore no fallout from the seizure, except that the cops hung onto it for about 5 years. When we finally got it back, we retired it - we couldn't trust it, and it was by then obsolete kit anyway.
So they lied ... not surprising companies promise things just to betray their customers in a second. I still remember when Facebook won the social media war by promising to never allow advertisement.
My perception is both the manufacturer and I were the victims of fraud, while Amazon was the enabler. Now, I wish the company didn't fulfill through Amazon, but that's not a crime or a fraud.

All posts I'm seeing here are highly critical of organic farming.

And most are based on a very short-term picture, which ignores the long-term costs of chemical-based farming: the incredible soil depletion and insect population depletion.

Chem-based clearly gives higher yields for a period of 50-80 years, but what happens after that?

Organic/permaculture is sustainable and possible even for our large populations. It presents challenges to some other assumptions of our highly industrialized food supply chain, but that doesn't mean it can't feed the globe.

It just makes it harder for one or two companies to monopolize everything.

In a large scale enterprise environment, say 100k+ seats with a mix of MS Office, scientific/engineering use-cases, Windows, Linux & OSX, Windows is still the way to go for the forest, tying it in with JAMF and Linux integrations.

On the contrary - I'm not sure of the exact definition, but the meaning of a nuclear family, at least to me, has morphed into a traditional family structure with an at home mother and working father.

If anything, a structure like this would facilitate and encourage visits from and to relatives. Seems like a much nicer life than a situation where both parents work.
It's a peer-to-peer video client, with part of it's data being directly shared (similarly to torrents) and part via a blockchain. This makes it highly resistant to censorship and thus is where many people are moving their channels to.
Times when capitalism has been unhindered have led to market crashes, galloping inequality and depressions. Times when capitalism has been balanced with progressive policies have led to stability and growth, not only for the already rich.
As a reference, currently 20% of Sweden's area used for crops is organic.

Edit: and 17% of milk production.
having a degree is no guarantee that you possess employable skills.

Germany is much better at shunting people away from university who are not qualified to be there. Generally, they go to trade schools and apprenticeships.

A potential benefit is figuring out how to make us smarter. For instance, let's say for the sake of argument that a group of people who all have gene seem to have lower IQ. We research the gene and discover it's a malformed enzyme that doesn't function as well. We give them all free supplements of the enzyme and as a result they get back to average IQ and everyone is better off.
For anyone who didn't get the reference: https://youtu.be/t2c-X8HiBng
> stated: "No personal information is required to create your secure email account. By default, we do not keep any IP logs which can be linked to your anonymous email account. Your privacy comes first."

And it still holds!!

What it didn't stat is that while _by default_ no such information is logged, but if they are legally compelled to they will log such the neseccary information for the email (account?) they are required to log them for.

Its honestly surprising for me that anyone though that a fully legally (in Swiss)operating service would protect their privacy beyond the point they are allowed to by Swiss law. But luckily for us Swiss law is pretty neat wrt. privacy, at least currently.
I can also imagine that it doesn't look like propaganda to average Americans

It looks like propaganda to us too.

We're not quite as dumb as the rest of the world thinks. That said, I suppose everyone's a bit dumber than they think they are, so take my statement with a grain of salt.
I think the Republic of Rose Island is more interesting in that respect. Sealand is in British waters, and not recognised by HMG or any other state.

Progressives know genetics matter,

e.g. there are essentially zero people with downs in Denmark because laws stipulate that you must genetically test the unborn.

Those few that make it through this eugenics program are the result of false negatives.
Is the issue higher education (colleges/universities) or higher education finance? Sounds like the latter.
Capital One is a great place to work. When it comes to corporate behemoths it doesn't have much competition that I know of. Very supportive culture that is obsessively focused on improving teams, the culture, and processes.
College degrees are either incredibly overpriced, or incredibly good value for money, depending on how you analyse them.

If you look at some CS graduate making $200,000 a year and assume they'd have made $50,000 without the degree, college looks like an incredibly good investment.

On the other hand, if you look at someone paying $1000 per credit hour for online video lectures? I've seen online video at 1% that price being described as overpriced.
>> According to experts, three scientifically rigorous meta-analyses of organic-conventional crop yield comparisons indicate that across all crops, the mean yield reduction in organic agriculture in Sri Lanka is around 19-25 per cent.

For a country that is a "net food importer" it seems obvious that would cause some kind of shock. The other stuff:

>> Eminent researchers have also noted that organic farming increases farmland due to its low yields. This results in deforestation, leading to large scale extinction of species and a rise in greenhouse emissions.

Longer term. Not relevant to this situation. There is also research showing the opposite, but again that's not the immediate isse.

>> organic agriculture generates more air pollutants and environmental emissions in the crop production process for a unit of food than chemical farming.

Not relevant. Notice the exclusion of pollutants in the chemical (fertilizer) production process. But again, not relevant to the current situation.

>> organic farming has exponentially higher monetary input costs due to a lack of usage of pest and pathogen-resistant chemicals, which increases manual labour, according to experts

"exponentially" is an exaggeration. The formerly mentioned increase in area means increase in labor.

>> The additional processing and marketing costs of organic produce is also significantly higher, analysts said.

You don't really need to do ANY marketing when the government mandated that everyone do it.

There's a lot here that's basically anti-organic, but the real problem is that it's simply more expensive, requiring a more land and labor and they didn't account for any of that in the rapid transition.
I believe science is a democratic process. If someone has the correct idea but communicates it poorly, so poorly that others in the field disagree, then this person is doing it wrong. (Thinking specifically of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinichi_Mochizuki )
Yeah, that's what we're all taught.

But, the actual incentive structure of "who controls the corporation?" is not shareholders, whose ownership is a) so diffuse as to be unknowable, sans documentation from a stock exchange b) very often held by proxies, with voting rights exercised by those proxies as well [1], c) nearly impossible to coordinate, even when the majority of shares in in private hands, and d) frequently bought back and owned by management itself. Looking at this structure, one can say that the actual control of the corporation is held a) by the people that manage it, b) by the people that capitalize it (not the same thing as stockholdership) and c) by the people that regulate it. c) is very clearly the government. You could make a very good case that b) is indirectly the government as well, since it comes from banking institutions who receive money to lend from the federal government, or rather, the ability to create debt.

My point is that, given the diffusion and non-coordination of ownership of a publicly traded company, combined with the effect of regulation, (and if you know anything about regulatory capture), the coordination of regulation with the large interests being regulated, public corporations may be treated, quite reasonably as public.

[1] Something to the tune of a fifth of all shares of Fortune 500 companies are held by Blackrock, Fidelity and Vanguard, as a part of how they issue index funds. These financial institutions are the ones who execute the voting rights on those shares, not the people who bought the index funds.

The vicious cycle is true (source: Sri Lankan, but not actively living there).

The current president isn't the only one to blame, though. For the past 15 or so years, the government relied more and more on China to basically keep its wheels moving at the comfort of endless projects funded by China. Sri Lanka used to manufacture a lot of things such as tyre, sugar, paper, etc. The over reliance on imported goods didn't play out well, and things such as tyre, sugar, and paper are now at a shortage because the government simply didn't bother to improve the local manufacturing of said goods.
2. was missing when the activist started using PM.
3. also missing (unless there is strong evidence of presence).
So no, no fraud. PM has to follow Swiss law and they have stated this long before the incident pretty clearly.
I don't think that's actually something progressives generally believe. Do you have any evidence?
You think you host your PI data in the EU, but in fact it is sitting on US soil.
IQ matters less than people think at some things, like chess. However, it does matter for other things, like mathematical analysis. Moreover, there is a correlation between IQ or proxies of IQ (like test scores) and income. While it isn't a super-strong relationship, there are few other variables that have as strong an impact.

> If huge chunks of future generations skip college because it’s unaffordable, that will be bad for us as a society. It would be much better to reduce the cost of college so that it’s more valuable for more people, rather than having younger generations opt out due to the high cost.

You'd think so. But then again look at healthcare in the US.
Try factoring this with the quadratic formula x^5+5x^4+10x^3+10x^2+5x+1. Or try guess and check with -1,0,1. The issue with formula's is that they constrain the space of the problems and ones mind especially. the problem above is factoring is (x+1)^5 but there exists no (and there cannot exist) formula to that can tell you that from the equation. Algebra is taught poorly not because kids don't learn the steps but because it stunts people into viewing math as if you only had the formula its easier. I'm not saying you should know that there cannot exist a 5'th or greater degree integer formula for factoring equations because to say that is very hard. But when it leaves students with very little scaffolding to use when things go wrong / don't fit the formula neatly
There are definitely benefits to having large companies as well, though. Economies of scale are a real thing for one, and especially in the semiconductor industry the price of modern production facilities (>20 bn per fab) is well outside the reach of any company you could still call "small".
As an Australian, I absolutely appreciate knowing an online company is located somewhere that isn’t here.
I think this is the main point:

>In the latest piece, Soros said BlackRock appeared to misunderstand Xi, whose administration he said regarded all Chinese companies as “instruments of the one-party state.”

New CCP guidelines calls education of private businesspeople to weaponize their minds with Xi's socialism ideology. "firmly listen to the party and follow the party." Chinese private sector is part of strategic "united front" of China. CEO's must follow orders from the party and the government and work as part of the whole.
