The Bias Against the Indian Farmer Is a Deep and Troubling One
Well yes, he can't be so dumb as not have not realized this. I also it doesn't make sense, and the more benign reasons (more planets derisk) are related. I am just sure it came up at some point in discussion, and is still useful as a family of tall-tale narratives.

My mistake, I took your usage of QEMU as a shorthand for managing and manipulating VMs, and wanting to use VMware et al due to not wanting to use the “QEMU ecosystem”
>Capitalism has been making the earth sick for years. Its quest for profits and growth ultimately leads to an imbalance and sickness. The public purse has, and always will, fund the winners, whipe there debts and bail them out.

There is a kernel of truth to the fact that if an industry ignores everything except for short terms gains made every quarter, yes, you will end up with overtaxed oceans, polluted rivers, and smoggy skies. In that you are right, that unscrupulous mega corporations can exploit critical natural resources to the point of destruction. But considering the only meaningful rival to the capitalist system created the absurd ecological disaster that is the Aral Sea, I think there is more to the nature of the problem than 'capitalism bad.'
> it is quite unclear whether capitalism is capable of optimizing over the long term at all.

Do you have evidence that socialism/communism is better at it?

Politicians, for example, infamously "kick the can down the road" for the costs of their decisions. They don't care about consequences after the next election.
It's not JS or node that's the problem, it's the JS ecosystem. Badly or too broadly defined dependencies can (and do) lead to pulling a new version of a dep that introduced a breaking API change and tada, you have to start hunting for the right version.

Most projects don't define the node version that their project runs on either, so what ran in node 8 might not run in node 14 now.

What's wonderful to run into is non-JS dependencies: node-gyp happens to be used here and there. Sometimes the native lib will be pulled, sometimes it will be built, who knows why. And node-gyp might then depend on python2 which might not even be present on newer distros anymore.

And so on and so forth. If it doesn't come in an AppImage or docker image, there's no chance I'm getting myself into a node mess.

It was apparent in the group chat I was in that these guys were replacing heavy-duty mental healthcare with tips provided by unverified sources on TikTok. A chat where we went to vent about our frustrations turned into peer-to-peer mental health diagnosis informed by these TikTok doctors, telephoned through these regular, non-doctor participants.

It struck me as the kind of thing that leads people to, for example, ingeste chloroquine phosphate [0] on the advice of a celebrity.

California's grid is already at that point however.

Other locations have more flexibility, either due to natural gas peakers or the prevalence of water (pumped hydro is the best battery)
Yup, as much as I like the idea behind the original analysis of the experiment, another likely insight is that it more effectively tested for socio-economic class.

For someone in a wealthy and stable environment, it is rational to wait 20min for the larger reward, as there is a high expectation that the promised event will occur as planned. However, in a poor and unstable environment, it is often more rational to take the bird-in-the-hand, as there is considerable uncertainty about whether the promised 2nd marshmallow will actually arrive.
Ask HN: How can I increase my stress tolerance?
I experienced burnout after a hectic quarter around Nov/Dec 2020. I was scrum master / team lead at the time, but heavily involved in all parts of the team process - attend meetings, project manage, give status updates, coding...in the end it was too much.

I want to deep dive into team management and leadership, however I don't want to experience burn out again (even though I am certainly not over last year's events just yet).

Can stress tolerance be practices as a skill? Is there a way I can increase my stress tolerance? Or maybe I need to practice caring less when something goes wrong!
The article mentions three and four year update cycles for some android devices.

The "Android Enterprise Recommended" program provides "rugged devices" with five years of "90-day security updates". (see: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.android.com/e... )

The Nokia XR20 is one of these devices, it was released in August 2021. However according to https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/security-updates it is not guaranteed to receive security updates after August 2025. Something is wrong.
It makes sense to specify the language for open source software. A lot of us are devs who might actually fiddle with the source, if it's written in a language we like to fiddle with.

We should not blame him as he did nothing wrong and was victimised without reason.

On the other hand, it's relevant to remind everyone that replying to questions from the law enforcement can get you in trouble although you did nothing wrong. (I don't think anyone is blaming him for answering as that's the normal thing to do.)
As a migrant I get it and have done it, but there are humans who cannot do it even locally.

Take some single mother in a backwards part of a backwards state making near enough the absolute minimum wage. If her rights are curtailed even further, it’s not like she can just up and move.

You need:

- the means to move

- a network (or the skills to build one) at your destination

- the general knowledge to know where is good to go to

- the street smarts to not get exploited when you arrive

Though at the same time there are many who don’t dream and just get stuck in the drudgery and lose the will the fight despite having a good shot. Demoralized.

Is it the bureaucracy that we have a problem with? To me it seems to be more related to dichotomy between safety and freedom.

While an argument can be made from both a scientific and public health perspective that alcohol is bad, that doesn't necessarily mean a government should therefore force people to make the "right" decision about their health. People who are in favour of the legality of alcohol are not anti-science or against bureaucracy, they're just people who value freedom over public health in this specific instance.

We're living in a strange time at the moment where we claim to value democracy, yet we simultaneously don't believe the public are informed enough to have any opinion about much of anything. I saw this start around the time of Brexit when people were getting annoyed that the government decided to listen to the opinion of the public rather than just doing whatever economists advised them to do. Today with COVID we see this more than ever, but at least in the UK there has been a steady trend towards our elected officials just deferring to unelected and often untrusted experts instead of representing the views of their electorate. While I think it's important we have public experts offering their thoughts on complicated decisions, I also think in a democracy we should embrace our liberty to reject the opinions of those experts for whatever reason.

We have to acknowledge there is no expert arguing on the side of freedom despite the fact many of us quite strongly value being free.
The article adresses all these points on a small timescale.

Just population growth alone, using the current curve (1.1%), will hit 118 billion people in 250 years and 5,812,724,005,588 billion (not a typo) people in 2500 years. Compounding exponential growth is quite literally unimanigable.

We cannot continue on current curves. No matter how efficient you make houses, produce iPads or food: exponential growth is unsustainable. Literally and figuratively.
I'm not sure that YouTube will find a 1x1px embed satisfying enough to please their advertisers.
Developed economies are already not on an exponential path (as is made clear in the linked post if you would bother to read it). You are reasoning from a false premise.
I don't know who I would rather have design a city from scratch:

There's no national ID system to base it off?

The politics is odd; voters don't want mandatory ID cards, but they seem comfortable with legally requiring ID to rent or buy a house, have a job, have a bank account, and now voting.
If you read the Wikipedia article I linked, you'll see there is a strong need for storage right now because solar output falls to 0 right as demand peaks.

Again, the source article talks about this, but this is also not just a simple problem that can be wished away, and the only "fallacy" is pretending this problem doesn't exist.

From their blog post:

"Under no circumstances can our encryption be bypassed, meaning emails, attachments, calendars, files, etc. cannot be compromised by legal orders."

I hate this type of grandstanding. If the swiss authorities make a legal order demanding that protonmail include a rogue JS file when a specific IP address requests their inbox, they will have to do it. It reminds me of XKCD #538, All this advanced tech to make it so everyone trusts their email is encrypted no-matter-what and it all falls apart with one subpoena.

Oh, and apparently (According to this blog post) they 'wouldnt be able to fight or appeal' that type of order either. This is basically how PRISM was implemented back in the day, The NSA mandated various providers comply with code changes.
Before I started using source control and issue trackers I used a macro not unlike this, but as somewhat of a roadmap or bugfix Todo.

(TODO:by-version (0 1 1) "Fix crash on leap seconds")
(TODO:by-version (1 0 0) "Implent a sane CLI")

implemented with using a macro. That was actually quite useful for all those small projects I didn't code on weekly, and scaled well for the codebases I worked on (mostly alone), which were all less than 5k loc.
They claim to have exceptionally good Tor support, when in reality people have (rightly) been screaming at them for years now to fix their permabroken Tor signup flow.

1. It's impossible to create a paid account with cryptocurrency: You can only use it to pay for an existing account

2. It's impossible to anonymously create any account over Tor: You have to at least pass SMS / secondary email verification, and it better not be an easy to get address ("Email verification temporarily disabled for this email domain" etc.)

Lots of marketing and boxticking (.onion: check), but it looks curiously hostile to anonymity if you actually try to use it.
I'd love an actual legal opinion about whether or not it's okay to donate to SciHub in different countries. I know it's all crypto, but you could imagine that some places might have a dim view of financially supporting what is unfortunately likely to be viewed as a "serious" criminal enterprise.
For comparison, Linux LTS releases have up to around 6 years of support.

If a vendor supplies bad security updates after six years, I can demand proper updates or perhaps my money back in return for my insecure device.

If the software is open source i may not receive any updates regardless.

I may be mistaken but I seem to recall that when [Egyptian] pictograms were later adapted to be syllabic representations (letters) there was a crossover period where the pictogram was used both as a 'word' (representing the whole thing the pictogram showed, a horned viper say) and also used in the same text to represent a sound/syllable (f; which is a 90 degree rotated viper!).

I cannot recall where I got this from however, possibly from a YouTube lecture by Irvin Finkel (I think it was he) or from the recent Netflix on the Saqqara tomb (less likely)??

Well there was the well publicised case of Luther Rahman, the Tower Hamlets Mayor. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-32428648

But I'm more inclined to suspect postal fraud. There was talk of students voting twice but whether that was a big thing is unknown. But clearly there has been some level of election fraud going on.

Agreed for solar, but I don't see how a reduction of wind energy would contribute to the goal of keeping the temperature increase below a certain level. Kinetic energy is not driving temperature increase, is it?

Yes, you have to bring your block cipher unless you are 100% sure all the MTAs are using your e2ee scheme.

>I guess you're saying that an encrypted email could travel through a provider that keeps a copy of it in the hopes that quantum computers will one day be cheaply available enough that they can crack

No, I'm saying when you send the email, the next MTA might not use encrypted transport and any mailbox/mail spool/cache might not store the data encrypted in any way.

You can of course get E2EE if you use GPG (you always could), but if somebody doesn't know how to use GPG or uses it wrong, that is problematic.

You can also just broadcast your gpg block message via public/ham radio or even hire a skywriter to spend his day tracing out your GPG cyphertext as a huge QR code in the sky :-)
I haven't seen anyone claim 4 out of the 5 points. I don't quite understand the target audience for this article.
Just a few days ago, I made the mistake of telling the police how much cash I had with me after they stopped the taxi I was sitting in (a few hundred euros). This happened in the middle of the night in a foreign country (France), so I didn't dare to disobey their orders. They took the cash and drove away. It turned out they were not real officers, but only dressed up as such for the purpose of robbing gullible tourists...

Errrr yes! You're totally right. Thought I read that they were contributing, but I must've dreamed it.
Re 1, yes it’s sensible as law, but I imagine Big Tech freaking out at the possibility of having to maintain some security-only update branch for every version a user might have started with.
What's more did any of these planned communities ever pan out? There were plenty projects started in the 20th century alone. Guess Walt Disney's Epcot is the most well known failure.
The graph above shows that on non windy days where battery capacity and pumped storage is low you'll have to turn on the gas generators at 5pm.

Second hand phones are a shit-show, full of hidden costs (often at least new batteries and paying to check if it has been stolen) and people treat their phones like crap, meaning once the often one-month warrently you often get will not matter much once the phone starts bootlooping after three months from damage caused by the last owner.
you're right, these other people are just hater idiots. i got your comment, and it makes sense. if the "usg" has unlimited money like the previous person stated then yes, why indeed do they collect taxes.

He still should not have cooperated, of course. Any extra effort you force the cops to go through gives you some protection.
What makes it obvious that this is a worker’s rights or wage gap? Aren’t people able to demand higher than normal wages or simply not work because they are propped up by a host of COVID measures like stimulus payments and eviction moratoriums? That is skewing the market and being used to push for higher compensation. It’s not much different from cheap money supply at low interest rates increasing the price of assets.
Without know any details I can easily say 20 managers in a room for an hour giving updates is for sure not “agile”.

It also contributes to a lot of the other examples in this convo chain. Bad agile is bad. Just like bad waterfall is bad.

A key tenant to agile is the reduction of inefficient processes. So in the next retrospective I would nominate that there are no longer weekly 20 person meetings.
I imagine protonmail users would like to know exactly what types of data are provided to authorities if they are compelled to provide it.

Is it a list of access time, IP tuples? Is that it or more?
That's not what the current curve actually looks like though. The rate of increase is declining every year. There are a number of developed economies that already have shrinking populations.

There are a couple of different population projections out there and, of course, predictions about the future are hard. But all of them show a population peak around 2100 of maybe 10-12 billion people.
Migrating comes with its own dangers, risks, and unknowns. If those dangers, risks, and unknowns are deemed too high by an individual, they might choose to stay, but that doesn't mean their rights are not being violated.

Then they'll just have the same requirements outside the software and it'll be on the developers to manually track it. Then communicate it in hour long standup meetings or something. Or bother engineers every few hours to communicate them directly. Complex corporate processes predate Jira and exist in places where the only tracking is Excel documents.
> Almost all professionals working in fields that pay as high as software development have higher bars, whether it's law, medicine, finance. It's a myth that only software developers have to go through a kind of technical challenge in order to get a job. If anything, spending 90 minutes to solve basic technical questions and getting a 6 figure salary as a reward is among the least demanding and most objective systems that exist among professionals.

The more traditional professions do their own gatekeeping and have one, standard, set of exams to take. Once you've taken them you don't need to re-do them for every interview, although you may need to stay current.

In programming, every employer has a different, non re-usable, exam.
Shouldn't that be handled by tree-shaking?
> As the article explained, if he can provide evidence of how he came by the money legally, he gets it back. Otherwise the federal government is breaking the law, no?

Even on the face of it, that is a blatant violation of the presumption of innocence and it boggles the mind that this is deemed constitutional in the USA. Even the 90 day term is wildly unacceptable for taking someone's possessions without a clear cause - perhaps 90 minutes?

You say it's a superset of C that compiles to C. But why does your example with main() look like Python? It's certainly not valid C code.
I hope you're right. Is this true also if we were to replace all current nuclear and fossil energy?

There is also the effect (the name of which I currently can't remember) that consumption increases when people think it does no harm. Like when LED lights were introduced, energy usage allegedly actually increased. Because people were using LED lights for all kinds of things that were NOT using incandescent lights before, as the energy used was thought to be negligible.
It's hard to see why "economic growth involves doing more with less" would work on a small timescale but not a big one. Indeed the main point of the article is that if you wait long enough, this will kick in, but that in the short run we have a problem.

The same holds for population growth. As countries get richer the birth rate reduces. So there's very little chance that we'll stay on the current 1.1% curve, any more than we stayed on the analogous curve defined in 1950.
