Right, some people want to do a good job and also get recognized for it. Whereas other people want to use politics to prosper from the work and ideas of others. The latter type don't care whose idea it was, who implemented it and did all the work, as long as they the gamers get the credit and rewards for it.

That's just life right? Yes but the point is for the former type of people it is very frustrating to work with the latter type, because not only you have to do a great job, you also have to put in a lot effort to fight the politicians. It is often better to get the hell out of Dodge rather than stick around with the bandits.

War is in part an expression of technological competitive advantage. Nth generation weaponry is expensive because technology requires the best minds, materials, and facilities that money can buy.

But what if for the same money, or less, we could buy something even better?

How much does peace cost?

Has anybody ever costed it?

For example, what could $2 trillion have bought in Iraq, Portland, or Jerusalem if it had been intelligently deployed for peace instead of war?

I know there is no handbook for peace, whilst there is a whole military industrial complex for war.

But what if smart people with budget built tools for peace?

I’m not saying the design, engineering, and deployment of these tools would be easy, obvious, or quick. But what if smart people built them, and, once built, they could scale?
We have couple of groups at Apple, that are very unhappy with the company due to WFH policy. #remote-work-advocacy channel has gone through some phases, but right now they are at the grief cycle. It's mostly wfh memes and repetitive confirmation-bias articles. Come January, we will get to acceptance phase, and those who wanted to jump ship, will jump ship.

Today, during the yearly Tim Cook's hands, wfh chat was talking smack about Apple even though they've officially gotten a response from corporate. It even spilled over to #talk-apple chat. Though, I gotta agree with some criticism. Apple has shot itself in the foot when it publicly takes political sides, and keeps a low radar on certain issues when employees expect Apple to take a stance. Overall, yes, Slack has changed a lot about Apple's culture.

Wasp-Lang (YC W21) Is Hiring Founding Engineer
Hi HN,

I'm Matija, founder of Wasp-lang (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp). We're building a declarative language that makes it easy to build full-stack web apps while still using popular tools such as React & Node.js.

We're a currently a team of two - twin brothers and ex-Google/Palantir engineers who are looking for first engineers to join the team. After graduating from YC we raised our first round ($1.6M) from several US & EU deep tech funds and early engineers from Facebook, Twitter and Airbnb.

Wasp is currently in Alpha - over 250+ projects have been created and first apps have been deployed to production. We have plan to move to Beta in the next 6 months.

We are looking for a well rounded engineer who will form the engineering culture together with us and work on all aspects of the product - DSL compiler (in Haskell) and generated target code (currently React & Node.js).

We're based in Europe (Zagreb, Croatia) but are open to remote.

For more details about the role, take a look here: https://www.notion.so/wasp-lang/Founding-Engineer-at-Wasp-88...

If this sounds interesting, please reach out matija [at] wasp-lang [dot] com.

I replaced all of our old not very well integrated tools to GitLab:

Mercurial -> Git(Lab)

Mantis -> GitLab Issues

Dokuwiki -> GitLab Wiki

Jenkins -> GitLab CI

Before, everything was disconnected from each other , Jenkins was not working most of the time, and we didn't even have merge request reviews. Now I can cross-reference everything, have a beautiful working CI and only merge things that are fine. This even made us move from 4$ to 19$ after they announced the cancelation of the smallest plan. We have a local 6 core Ryzen running Ubuntu 18.04LTS with GitLab locally and update every month for the new release and never had a single issue for the past 3 years.

Yeah, Cher is an interesting character. Feels like she found a passion in being a corporate activist and it's very interesting to see how her story will play out.
I got into this because I can work from home with 3 small children. You can feed worms anything that once alive. You could ask your neighbours to leave a bucket of scraps out the front to pick up on a given day. Tree loppers always have to figure out where to take large amounts of wood chip, ask them to drop it off at yours if you can accommodate it. It's all about context. My context in Brisbane Australia (sub-topics and suburban) will be different to Phoenix or Ontario... all it takes is some phoning around and planning. BTW, carbon sources like wood chip are easier to manage than kitchen scraps. It takes some forethought to manage scraps because it can become smelly, fast. I have been using effective microbes (EM) to pickle scraps in poly barrels for later use with incredible success. I like your 50/50 mix idea, very intriguing. On that, anyone like yourself who has a curious mind, an optimisation mindset and a desire for continuous improvement will love the micro-composting space... so much scope for experimentation!
> Stimuli previously tested were other Mozart compositions16, Beethoven’s Fur Elise19, and a string version of K44810.

Why would you not test other things too? Are there not enough of these IED episodes, or you have to wait around for too long for them to happen? Beethoven had piano sonatas, a lot of them, and Rachmaninov had some compositions for two pianos. There were composers around Mozart's time that wrote music in a similar style. Can people with these IED episodes test this theory for themselves using some music on their phones?
One can have various views on Hollande, but this one was the evidence that we are vassals to the US.

I did not like him much, he had ups and downs but he ridiculized France in that one.

I do not know what other presidents would have done, though. They announce a lot, and usually do not deliver much in average (nothing special with France here, usual politics)

I would say this is true. But personally the late night hours is a time when the world seems to stop and I'm able to be in my own space. I don't use social media so I don't have to worry about notifications from those apps. But I also don't have to worry about calls or texts. I am able to relax and be at peace.

Whenever I use Edge, I end up wondering why Google is broken and does not find what I'm looking for - It's because I'm actually using bing!

> Apple iPhone vs iPhone for Apple.

The equivalent of "Apple iPhone" is, in this case, "Windows Audio Subsystem". Not "Windows Subsystem for Audio".
Can you elaborate on how this disqualifies the study findings? I also read it, they say:

"To describe the urban-rural distribution of firearm mortality, we used the county-level metropolitan/nonmetropolitan classification from the United States Department of Agriculture’s 2013 Rural-Urban Continuum Codes, which defines nonmetropolitan (rural) counties as having communities of fewer than 50,000 people with less than 25% of the workforce commuting to a metropolitan(urban)county".

Does that work?

8 or 10 degree warming!? It wouldn't "wipe us out completely", but mostly, and certainly civilization would not survive, so how are we going to pay back the pollution debt?

For all the work they have done in getting remote-first culture established for large corps, their salary protocol is pretty backward.

Normalizing on employee locale adds so many assumptions about the life and lifestyle of the employee and their market that are somewhat unfair to incorporate into compensation.

Our company is far smaller, but also been remote-first for almost a decade, and flat salary structure based on role (we pretty much have just IC, lead or junior) and fully independent of location was the best.

Since we have two founders living in the Bay Area and in New York, two of the most expensive cities, a comfortable wage for those founders should be good enough for anyone anywhere.

For our own simplicity, we aligned compensation on gross (pre-tax) pay, so the take-home is slightly different between regions.

I bet it’s for legal reasons.

With “Linux Subsystem for Windows”, the owner of the Linux trademark could hypothetically sue Microsoft arguing that consumers could misinterpret the name as meaning a part of Linux, or an official Linux product.

“Windows Subsystem for Linux” unambiguously implies only that the software is compatible with Linux, not that it’s affiliated with it. (It still uses the trademark, but in a way that would be considered descriptive fair use.)

It’s not like there’s any real chance the trademark owner in question, the Linux Foundation, would actually sue Microsoft over this, but lawyers tend to prefer safe over sorry.
It's unfortunate when marketing speak enters the domain of tools. Imagine if builders had to deal with this:

"Hey hank, grab me the Microsoft Screws(tm) for 3/4 inch holes"
No way it is 6M. That is too low. I could have got that by joining stripe a few years back while enjoying high salary.
A similar case is with Iran. France was bullied into leaving Iran and breaking our contracts there because the US do not like Iran.

France and style other countries tried to ask EU to weight it, but it was busy with doing nothing (and since it has zero influence anyway wild not have helped).

The US is a bully. We are the 1st grade kid being beaten up for fun and profit, and told to smile.

International politics is ugly and hypocrisy, in the name of Diplomacy.

> [..] when moderators are afraid to ban people for potentially abusive language then it's very easy for the discourse to start slipping and become toxic.

I think it really depends on what the purpose of your forum actually is. Perhaps that's the problem - people go to these platforms for different reasons. In my opinion, Twitter is not a place for intellectual discussion and debate, the format itself encourages quick and low-depth hot-takes. And don't get me started on the Tweet numbering...

> [..] we all deserve a place where we can be treated respectfully and have intellectually stimulating conversations.

I don't think we fundamentally do. It would of course be nice and it's something I personally want - but I don't think it's something I deserve. I accept that some things will offend me, and that's okay. If I don't want to see it, there are many options available.

> I don't understand what the issue is here, if this is talking about twitter, you can just delete an old tweet if it's upsetting people later.

In theory, but you have "cancel culture" where something is taken entirely out of context and judged with modern sentimentality, rather than in the context it was written. Also it should be okay to openly disagree with your past self and not have the re-write history, it shows personal progress.

> The article even shows how twitter has a process to let you delete the tweet and restore your account.

"Let you" - it didn't seem like there was much of a choice if the person wanted to continue using the service.

My original point about a better social media still stands anyway, I believe censorship should be opt-in. "I don't want to see X content" - sure, here's your wall with X content removed. "I don't want to talk to Y" - sure, here's everything with Y removed.

I want to test engines on the back of containerships to loft saltwater. That's the kind of R&D that is needed.

Or develop a shipping fuel additive that accelerates the production of clouds.

These won't solve the problem, but they can buy time. We need time.
5km (3.1 miles) is really not very far. An in shape person who doesn't run should be able to do 5km with little training. Humans are naturally very good at running.

Start by walking 1 km every day. Do that until it is easy. Then increase the distance to 2km. Then start to jog part of the way.

Depending on your physique you should be able to jog 2 km within a few weeks. Then you can slowly raise the distance to 3km then 4km then 5km.

It does depend on your physical starting point. But people close to a healthy body weight should be able to achieve a 5km run in 3 months.

They apparently can find talent at their current rates. Good for them.

But certainly there will be pressure on them and on all others, as US companies start to hire globally, and offer more-or-less US wages.
> the party that is detected last has a higher chance of winning.

Can that be what 'stealth' means? Sensing technology must be progressing faster than the ability to remain off-radar. Between satellites, internet connected mobiles and general improvements in radar technology I'm not sure that a stealth aircraft can be undetected.
It's in the clouds now. The executive paid to downsize the IT departament and you expect someone there to do the work ? The whole cloud outsourcing of IT departments is a time bomb.
It might seem like an easy situation when nobody's demanding you do a good job, on the contrary, as was in this case you did a good job and got fired because of that.

But if you agree to their rules then you must play by their rules, politics, and if you then don't put your best effort into playing politics you may find yourself on the losing side soon.

> Are there any examples beating "HTML, CSS, and targeted JS" on typical webpage usecases?

No, and you won't find any. That's not the use case for WASM right now. If your JavaScript code's purpose is to manipulate HTML/CSS, then using WASM will likely make it slower and worse.

That will change and WASM gains the ability to access the DOM without going through JS, but that requires many other big features like GC and reference types, and given that there's not a lot of people working on these things anymore after the Mozilla implosion, it might take many years still, or even never happen.
It looks interesting and I really do like this. But in a world of ransomware, I am not going to install any software on my machine just because it looks interesting.

I know I am echoing half of the other comments here, but this does really need to be a webapp.
Like you say yourself, stealth isn't a binary thing, but rather a set of techniques to reduce the detection range.

You can be assured that Russia and China are working hard on technology to detect stealth planes (e.g. multistatic radar systems). But again, it's not a binary thing. Even with a multistatic radar setup, a stealth aircraft will have lower detection range than a non-stealthy one. And considering both China and Russia are developing stealthy aircraft like Su-57 and J-20, it seems they themselves are not thinking that they have the magic technology that would make stealth obsolete.

Chitty Chitty Hash Bang?
It was a performance and memory hog, which wasn't helped by Microsoft underselling its minimal hardware requirements to an extreme. I still have a laptop from that time lying around with a Vista Capable label, Aero never worked on it and it ended up stuck in an eternal update loop because the hard drive did not have enough space for an up to date Vista.

Microsoft had to extend the life of Windows XP one last time when Netbooks became more common because Vista barely ran on a high end laptop.
Education and willpower only work to some extent. People have a natural lipostat that "tells" them how much they should eat, and it's very hard to eat significantly differently - either more or less. What exactly changes this lipostat is not well understood, though there are well-known cases: lithium and other psychoactive medications, thyroid hormones. It is extremely likely that specific diets (in the broad sense) can also affect this lipostat mechanism - either directly, or through effects on the gut microbiome.

Objectively the population density of Helsinki [1] is half that of London [2] - and according to google, a tenth of that of Paris.

Subjectively after living in both Helsinki and London it feels like Helsinki is even less crowded.
I would say that there are fewer people who commute in to commercial areas from outside of the city than in London, and the commercial areas such as offices are generally a lot less dense, newer, and more spread out.

Sorry to read that.

You sound like someone I might know. I hope I'm wrong, if I'm not please reach out.

Trick is, you have to be satisfied with yourself first and be happy living alone without setting any expectations upon yourself. Only then you can start searching for a partner who will further improve your life. There is no silver bullet, because this is a process and every person has to find solution by him/herself.

Have you tried multiple different activities even if you had no prior experience?

For example: animal shelters are really happy if someone comes by and offers to walk the dogs. You get to experience new things and possibly meet new people during the walks.

Try to search for activities where you are forced to spend some time with other people without any romantic agenda. Like sports activities, impro theater, Toastmasters communities etc.

I'm not sure how to read this. I could interpret the bimodal outcome as the initial skill of the student being the main factor. Either you get it, or you don't, and the lecturer had no real influence on the outcome.

The reweighting is not a good solution, but I would ask questions to the lecturer why a good chunk of her students are failing. It's her responsibility to teach them after all, and not to filter out the elite.
The next generation of bullshit military spending?

A trillion for Afghanistan and F-35 each. Jeez, what could we have built with $2 trillion in investments? What cool companies, technologies or infrastructure could have sprung from this?
Well and fingerprints also require hands. Not having hands is not as uncommon as one might think.
I think what the parent comment meant was that the pollution debt will be automatically paid when civilization collapses and industry basically stops functioning.

A good way of looking at the situation is that the Earth will be fine regardless - it's been through worse (the Premian-Triassic saw extinction of 57% of biological families, 83% of genera, 81% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species), it's humanity that will be in deep, deep trouble in the near future.
You need to trust the other party in order to have a shot at peace. There is no trust due to historical reasons. War also directly benefits a lot of people and industries so they would never want that.
It’s not an either-or proposition. It’s possible to have a reasonable offensive (& defensive) capability while not spending so eye wateringly much on the MIC.
