Damn nice hate. OP was saying how he is losing sleep over climate change.

The requirements involved with contributing to slowing (or stopping) climate change do not include worrying about it. If you are losing sleep, you would benefit from changing your attitude towards it.

Civilisational decline is a constant. It is coming. Accept it now, and work to delay it if you can make a meaningful change. If not, don't lose sleep over it.

I'm doing what I can to invest in future green tech and trying to limit my consumption. I am NOT losing sleep over the fact that we probably don't have much more of a future as a race.
the actual .torrent file, itself, is 32mb, this is massively bigger then your 2tb 40 files 4k movie superpack, because this includes large directories and file paths as well as a larger number of files, each requiring the full file path be specified.
TL;DR Software doesn’t mess with people, people mess with people.

History of photoshop, quick mention of beauty industry. Nothing on actually problematic uses, which are rare. No mention of the growing ability to fake across many channels at once. I don’t mean to sound as if mimicking humans causes the end of the world, it’s just really superficial.
Well if you look at smoking, we did quite similar things. We let people smoke, it's not forbidden, but don't try to smoke within a restaurant, an indoor space, a flight, etc. Why? Because that's where your secondary smoke can start impacting other people. But smoke at home as much as you want!

Sounds familiar?
Biden administration moves to stave off shortage of monoclonal antibodies
People drastically decreasing consumption (i.e. moving less mass less distance) is the only way out in a realistic timeframe, if even possible now.
This is exactly what “whataboutism” is.
Yes, hence my second paragraph.
Another point overlooked in the implicit “why be 10% more efficient instead of 10x” is that we can’t all be Newtons. There is no advice to turn you into Newton, but that doesn’t make advice useless.

It’s reason to get what you can out of life, not to throw your hands up! And maybe one way to get more from life is to cut down on drudgery or do work faster so as to contribute more.
Ok, try this:

The money we spent on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars could have paid for true energy independence using renewables. We have a pending budge proposition to try and address it but some say we can't afford it.

How can we afford endless war but not afford investing in power that civilization needs but doesn't kill us?
Ok, HackerNews has either a serious algorithm ranking issue, or there is something super sketchy going on. *Edit: I should say I have no reason to distrust HN admins, merely stating the two possibilities.

This post is more recent, has more points, and more activity, yet is considerably below older posts with less engagement. I expect pg or dang to chime in here.

I love for await and async for but I can't seem to figure out whether it's going to be easy to understand for beginning programmers. Any thoughts?
> When did authorities lie? The position on masks changed over time as data was acquired. Unless you mean when the FDA/CDC was worried about a run on masks, which they were right about.

The fact that they say it was intended to prevent a run on masks proves that it was a lie and they knew it was a lie, which is inherently malicious in my book.
The Navajo Nation has one in DC, but its not really a true embassy with all the diplomatic privileges and it isn't considered part of the tribal land.

As to adding land, its complicated https://www.bia.gov/bia/ots https://www.fns.usda.gov/fdpir/distinction-between-reservati...
One advantage of being older is that you have a chance to see panics come and go. For example, it would be a challenge to convey to you the utter certainty and despair that existed in the 70s with the prevailing belief that we would be running out of oil in the next few decades and action was needed _now_ (pounds fist on the table). I think everyone then who held these views would be astonished by the oil capacity available to us today. This intense emotional certainty isn’t unique to that issue. It happens again and again. Some of us have seen these panics before. The worrisome part for me is that many people here are giving themselves anxiety in part because their information stream and commentary lacks balance.
Yes, exactly. It's 3am, I misread the comment. Sorry.
“Newton was a genius, yet the man spent most of his life doing alchemy, trying to forecast the future with the help of the bible, and chasing dragons in the Swiss Alps, put simply, he was batshit insane”

I generally agree with your comment but this sentence doesn’t do justice to Newton. During his time alchemy, predicting things from the Bible were generally accepted. If Newton had published papers about his successes in alchemy you could call him crazy but he just probed the accepted wisdom of his time. I bet in few hundred years a lot of our current conceptions of reality will also sound crazy. That doesn’t mean that current scientists are insane. They are just trying to expand our current knowledge. Which is the same Newton did. He did all kinds of crazy looking stuff because he was curious.
Maybe you thought that QSBS would keep being the way it was set. But there was a chance people would find QSBS written bad enough to change; I don't think analysis of that would show that no, QSBS is pretty close to being ideal from a point of view which well reflects opinions of people.

In a sense it's like an investment into an autocratic country - profits are high, but so also is uncertainty. In more developed countries uncertainty is lower - but it doesn't mean that laws are perfect.
A lot of people used epik because they seo'ed for lower transfer fees for a while and have been around for longer then it was known that they protect neo-nazis who register domains with them.

Not all of them knew about the parler and 8chan controversies, and even if they left when this all came out, it wouldn't stop them from appearing in this list, since it includes historical data.

So maybe leave judgements and punishments to the courts, and stop using your company to be a vigilant.
Despite Bobby Allyn's insistence on saying he lied; he isn't reporting any evidence of it. Misleading, maybe, though one has to follow to be led. Evasive, absolutely. That's not lying.

Alright, maybe his statement that he fixed old cars "for a living" could fade into being called a lie, or at least stated with intent to mislead.

It really feels like, some third-rate reporter got angry about being hoodwinked, and decided to get back at him by writing a puffy hit-piece. Really ugly look for NPR; this isn't news or even noteworthy.
I've worked in fintech (lending specifically) and your claim that "there is a (very) large number of people who do this" is simply not true.

To get access to the half decent rewards credit cards in the US will at a minimum require you to have an ITIN. To obtain an ITIN, you need to submit an application to the IRS and provide a bunch of documentation related to your identity and foreign status. This documentation needs to be original or certified. If you don't use your ITIN at least once to file a tax return in 3 years, it will expire.

If you jump through the hoops to get an ITIN, as I mentioned, financial institutions usually have a database of private mailbox addresses. Technically these are called CMRAs - commercial mail receiving agencies. If you use a CMRA address when applying for a credit card, there's a good chance it will be detected. So you're going to need a friend or family member in the US to let you use their address. Also, if you apply with a foreign IP address, this too will likely be detected. Use of a VPN can trigger extra scrutiny.

The American credit cards that offer attractive rewards have the highest requirements in terms of credit score. If you have no credit history, you will not be approved for these. The average non-resident foreign national isn't spending enough every year on their credit cards to gain any meaningful benefit from a crappy American rewards credit card, or to spend years building up a credit history to get a better card.

As for people moving around the world, it's imminently easier for American citizens to keep their credit cards and get new ones when they become expats, especially if they don't change their addresses or set up alternative US addresses (with friends or family) before they move abroad.
If you think a few months of mask wearing at school is bad for a child's psychology, just wait until you find out about social media!
I am always amazed at the level of denial among the people. I speak of the comments to this article, not the young people in question.

The IPCC reports are quite conservative. The reason the 2021 reports were so dire is because they began including some of the feedback loop modeling the scientists preparing the report have become more confident in. More is in the pipeline.

Somewhere along the line, it got political. Maybe it was always political. Hard to say that society needs to fundamentally change without people feeling it encroaches upon their world view.

You don't have to look very far to see our supply chain impacted by nature. Pandemics such as COVID were and are predicted to become more frequent. My local supermarket doesn't just have higher prices, the selection has gone down in many categories as the droughts and wildfires have impacted production. We are getting a taste of what has been long predicted. Deny all you want. I'm not saying the world will end this year, or next decade, but little by little, all the evidence I'm seeing is pointing towards the science being right. And it ain't pretty.

The level of ambition among our governments is quite low. The people are selfish, more concerned with their property values and if their neighbour mows their bylaw required lawn, than if the next generation will be able to have a similar quality of life. Why wouldn't you be cynical if you were young?

If you are a believer in conspiracies, what seems more likely to you? The climate scientists of the world conspiring to destroy the world economy? Or the powers that already be in this world desperately trying to hold onto their positions? I don't know about you, but I think the latter is far more likely.
Do you have knowledge about what they are discussing/researching at the CDC?
# Power Statement

!*Plowser*!* is in the 99th percentile of browsers by global user count!

# Fact Sheet

- sample size of browsers is 10,000 (this includes toy apps on GitHub and almost all browsers in the sample have no record of active users)

- those using !*Plowser*! have no choice as the developing company $*DendralRot Inc*$ forces all its employees, contractors and users of their enterprise '?_shuiteware_?' (a name derived by mashing |-->shite|software|suite<--| into one word) to use their browser

This is why revenue neutral carbon taxes are key. At tax year end, you pay out all carbon tax revenues divided between every taxpayer.

Individuals are still incentivised to make climate friendly consumption choices, but on net the population is no worse off financially.
Yeah, I'm afraid we're didn't do the right thing when the Saudis extorted the world for more expensive energy. Instead of making dirty deals with them, we should have sought policies to end reliance on them, but we couldn't and no one could. But were in the same place. And we can thank Jane Fonda for killing the one thing that could have removed that albatross from out necks.
There is a lot of strange posting going on in this thread for HN...

You are sure right about that. Posts that are utterly lacking critical thinking, claims without evidence. It is embarrassing behavior for this forum. There is more data on this subject than possibly any other phenomenon on Earth, and visible, palpable change has occurred in recent memory.

In the U.S. Almost 3 in 4 U.S. adults is overweight or obese. Nearly half of people have prediabetes or diabetes.

So basically, it's easy to say that COVID would be prevented IF those people didn't have those conditions... but those people are there, they are actually majority of your adult population. So we have to deal with that.
You should probably continue reading at least to the end of a paragraph if it's the basis of an argument you're making:

"FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem."

This is essentially an unrestricted database containing raw reports. Nothing is done to eliminate or control for the entries where the cause of death is unrelated to the vaccine, and the data isn't a replacement for a controlled study.

Deaths that can actually be attributed to reactions to the vaccine are so far much lower than that figure (and even if they weren't, millions of people have been vaccinated; COVID-19 is significantly more likely to kill you or leave you with long-term health problems).
While I think this article is unnecessarily critical of the Azure OMI agent, this is a very "What the heck, Microsoft!?" moment for me. Of all the pieces of Azure infrastructure, the OMI agent is absolutely something I expect to be well-tested and secure.

I recognize that bugs happen, but allowing a remote client to execute commands as root by simply removing the authorization header should have been caught by automated testing.
These are the exact sentiments I believe personal/household finance analogies evoke, and basically why I oppose their use. It evokes comparisons to some kind of possibility of something happening analogous to bankruptcy when in fact:

"The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default." Alan Greenspan

So yeah, it's just my opinion but to me the mechanics and context of the US's federal debt is so departed from that of household finance, that it's more detrimental than beneficial to even use them in the first place. But again, I understand the desire to anchor it to something people recognize.
AWESOME, thx for uploading this !
If the system were open to experts that could vet it, and the security of all steps verified by real security experts, this wouldn’t be a story. These systems have been hugely problematic since they were first rolled out by other companies years ago, with unverifiable voting and counting. Dominion only looks like a good guy because Trump and Co. went after them.
Although we are still debating with some smart people about this (since actual measurements call it into question), this was our (Ardour dev team's) take on this question:

Switching from fossil fuels to renewables and nuclear can have massive benefits to population health.

It’s not all a negative trade off.
Sure it does. I meant literally underwater like redraw the maps cause the land is gone… that’s all I read/watched growing up.

Dividing people in classes and showing no empathy for those you dislike is supposed to be what's bad with the "elite" fantasy (everyone, with a bit of work, can get a slave job anywhere)

Comment dated April, article dated July.
Maybe it'd be better to read the opinions of relevant faculty instead. I know at least one climate science faculty who has publicly referred to Shellenberger as a "professional asshole" after being treated so poorly by Shellenberger.

Shellenberger is just next in the long list of industry shills who peddle the same misinformation and then complain when researchers get mad at him, claiming endless victimhood.
> We know that the vaccine efficacy is greatly reduced with Delta variants

Even with Delta vaccinated have 5X reduced risk of infection https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7037e1.htm.

> undetermined number of patients allegedly around 10k have died from covid vaccine side effects

Have you seen a credible source with this information?
The apparent fix: https://github.com/microsoft/omi/commit/4ce2cf1cb0aa656b8eb9...

Looks like a standard, absolutely gigantic C/C++ project that re-invents absolutely everything including an event loop, http server, XML parser, a C++ tool to generate C code to create a “str hash” implementation, a custom lexer for WQL and a parser for a “mof” file format.

Still not clear on what it does. Seems safe.
If you provide service to everybody, then you provide service to unsavory types. That doesn't mean you cater to them. The alternative is 'cancel culture' which many people reject on principle because all it will do is tear the country in two.
Humans are pretty resourceful; I expect we'll survive in some form or another. But climate change absolutely is an existential threat to ecosystems, biodiversity, food security, water security, political stability, etc. The fact that there will likely be humans somewhere on earth carving out an existence is not exactly comforting.
Unless it's DOOM, in which case if the user is calm, you've failed. :)
Or perhaps they leveraged their success to reduce the amount of “busy” they have so as to make time to amplify the mindset or practices that helped them, because they think that can be their biggest gift to the world.
> Ive switched markets/verticals from gov to private to startups in search of this balance.

Am I understanding correctly that you switched to startups to find better work/life balance?

I have to say I'm surprised by that. Usually startups have the highest demands and the fewest people to get things done. Can you expand on your experience?
as opposed to solar and wind "shills" who say humanity is doomed if the government doesn't funnel billions of dollars to their industries? Each side has monetary incentives to push their view point

Fact is that without the fear mongering about nuclear energy decades ago we'd probably be carbon neutral by now
Assuming the people are there justly for committing a crime and not being convicted just to provide free labor doesn't it make sense to have these people do something instead of sitting all day in a cage?
Yes. Much better to look at people who have achieved excellence in their specialty and see how they do things.
This pandemic would be a blip if everyone was in shape.

>CFR (case fatality ratio) in the large cohort in China was elevated for patients with comorbidities, with 10.5% of those with underlying cardiovascular disease, 7.3% of those with diabetes, 6.3% of those with chronic respiratory disease, and 5.6% of those with cancer dying of COVID-related illness. [1]

That looks like a clean 17% reduction for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. So yes, hospitals are getting gridlocked during this pandemic because of lifestyle diseases.

>The NCHS statement broke down the death certificates mentioning COVID-19. For 94% of people who had COVID-19 also had other conditions listed. COVID-19 alone was cause of death for 6%.

>Dr. Maja Artandi ( here ), medical director of the Stanford CROWN Clinic for COVID-19 patients ( here ), told Reuters via email that the CDC’s numbers “are really not a big surprise,” as “patients who have a comorbidity such as diabetes, hypertension or obesity have a higher risk of getting seriously ill and dying from COVID-19.” [2]

Without COVID they would still be alive, but no doubt lifestyle disease has been a serious contributing factor to deaths during this pandemic.

They should sign an ethereum address to reduce ambiguity

(Any crypto asset address is fine, even PGP is good enough for this but PGP had 25 years to make that user friendly and common but failed, and cryptocurrencies made signing software more prevalent and uniform wayyyyy faster)
It will happen when it has to.

Look into Scott Adams law of slow moving disasters.

https://www.scottadamssays.com/2013/04/15/fact-checking-adam...

To sum it up, whenever humans see a problem coming in the distant future, they find a way to solve it in time. Y2K is a great example of this: when stories about the effects of Y2K were popularized, some people thought that there would be no way to fix so many millions of lines of code in time and some of the marvels of human civilization like the electrical grid or the banking system might irrecoverably crash. Yet humans found ways to solve the issues and essentially nothing happened.
But solutions don't just fall out of the sky. Saying that technology will solve the problem risks a bystander effect, where nobody is packing, reducing emissions, or working on clean energy because of a belief that such effort is wasteful as a the technology will appear out of nowhere.
Just give it a decade or two and you won't need to be bother reading about it as you'll be living it.
Wasn’t that the whole point of Michelle Obama’s healthy school lunch drive? And the conservatives who are largely against mandated vaccines today also declared that initiative as government going too far. People living in conservative states are also far more obese than liberal ones (California vs Texas, for example). Conservatives, at least, are being consistent.
That should be "past couple of years" not months.
