You may be right that the majority is plant matter, but in salmon season bears gather at salmon runs and waste little energy in snatching fish as they leap up the cascades. See [1]. (Although individual bears do compete for the best fishing spots, they are in a "fish in a barrel" situation when they get one. They don't have to chase anything, just grab and chew.)

Edit to add:

Here's an article [2] from 2018, How many salmon will a bear eat?

Excerpt: Adult male bears on Kodiak ate the most salmon on average, consuming an incredible 6,146 pounds (2,788 kg) per bear per year! Adult females ate 3,007 pounds (1,364 kg). Salmon consumption varied among subadult bears, independent juvenile bears between 2.5 and 5.5 years old. Subadult females ate 1,248 pounds (566 kg) while subadult males ate 1,305 pounds (592 kg) of salmon per bear per year.

I submitted this because I think the question they posed is interesting:

> How much are you willing to personally risk when you identify a case of injustice?
Very fair assessment. New World had a cosmetics shop already with equipment skins. so they will probably monetize that way too.

Thank you for taking the time to write that out.

given the cost difference between storage and bandwidth, that's probably a worthwhile tradeoff. Especially given the common usecase of store once, send many times.
It's a bit like Medical Student Syndrome, we are in depth studying parts of the eco-system, so everything is panic.

We've seen the same panic around Covid. You go to hospital with any disease you will have a long recovery, in 2020 it's being spelled out so suddenly it matters, which probably it always should have.

But you also get Long Covid a mass hysteria breaking out. Mental illness also need to be treated, it's another thing we've badly handled.

I guess the mass hysteria around climate change also needs be treated. Short of putting lead back in gas it's hard to see how.

> Nearly two decades ago, fishers discovered an odd occurrence off the coast of Oregon.

That's not enough time to understand this. El Niño is up to 7 year cycles for instance. Weather and oceans are long cycles. It's good we are learning though.

I do wonder why they don't think it's from humans, fertiliser and sewerage, like we know about hundreds of other dead zones sites and growing.

These other sites don't matter because they can't be linked to climate change and are solvable, the Industrial Environmental complex don't want solvable problems, they lose control. Often their trick it to turn solvable problems back to climate change, but this seems natural.
It boggles my mind that IPv6 has such a slow roll out (it's been a thing since the early 2000s = twenty years ago).

I would have thought that all the major tech companies supported it years ago on all their infrastructures, websites and apps. But there are still a lot of hold outs.

What about IPv6 makes it such a chore to become widespread?
> Everyday is an attack on the computing freedoms that people take for granted.

Just to be clear, Ariadna Vigo is not attacking computing freedoms; pretty much the opposite. I agree with her position on nearly everything except for her stance about the GNU operating system. This is a technical detail in the grand scheme of things. Just like tabs vs. spaces, for which it is fun to disagree in an over the top way.

We must support the FSF for pragmatic reasons, but we can still acknowledge that the "pure unix" philosophy is a great and beautiful idea. Also, cat-v and suckless are fun websites full of interesting stuff.

I was considering this but higher density also means more transportation is required, more people have to employed and so on. It gets very expensive very fast.

In theory population size 12x of the population of Luxemburg would make it easier to distribute the cost of free transport. But this glosses over the fact that London is huge and only zone 1 and maybe 2 are a pain to drive. Not everyone in London works in zone 1 / 2.

I wonder if there’s anyone here able to give an answer if free transport in London would be financially realistic.

It's interesting that BO tries to tar the author by claiming she was terminated for violations of federal export control regulations - but she was an employee communications manager. How does such a role even intersect with that?

Reading the original essay (https://www.lioness.co/post/bezos-wants-to-create-a-better-f...) - it's a strange mix of odious sexual harassment and the seemingly trivial (pissed because the building isn't LEED).
At a time when it seems that police are unwilling to interface with regular human drivers, to the point they suggest that drivers need to preemptively place both their hands on the wheel so officers don't become spooked, it's reasonable to ask why companies get to specify deliberate procedures. As in, why isn't the attack first and ask questions later standard good enough for them too?

Congrats on an awesome product. It was exactly what I was looking for.

You also get a feeling about a company pretty quick from their docs (I think it’s the best way to judge a company) and I have to say I had the same feeling as using Twilio or Cloudflare for the first time - so you’re in good company.
They have a certification for the aluminium sourcing.
Have you watched the footage of the current "beta"? It's a scam. It runs into stationary objects. It drives into oncoming traffic. It runs red lights, makes illegal turns, drives straight toward other cars, and can't stay on the road. And that's footage recorded and edited by Tesla's biggest fans.

"Full Self Driving" does not exist. Every indication is that it never will.

I still can't believe no one's gone to prison over this. Tesla's "self driving" features are probably the biggest fraud in history with a body count to match.
Thanks! I think with all the well known tech behemoths (50K+ employees), it's easy to lose perspective and assume that a company like Databricks (2K+ employees) or Stripe (4K+ employees) is a medium sized company in comparison. I appreciate the clarification.
All of the books on the NPR list are available at my local library and Amazon. Seems ridiculous to call them the most banned books in that case.

Free public transport means worse service. In the long term, subsidies < subsidies + fares, so there would be less money to fund the operations. At the same time, many people who would otherwise walk/cycle or not take the trip at all would be using public transport, and the reduced service would be crowded. Because the quality of public transport would be low, people who can afford it would prefer driving. That in turn would lower the subsidies, because people are always looking for ways to lower taxes and reduce public spending in services they don't need.

Sometimes the fares are also higher than costs to discourage using public transport, because capacity is limited and increasing it is effectively impossible. London zone 1 is a good example of this. People who won't use public transport will walk/cycle or not take the trip at all. They won't switch to driving in any significant numbers, because that would be physically impossible.

>we Homo sapiens outcompeted them and made the world better (in someone’s point of view) for Homo sapiens

I think what's coming into focus for a lot of people nowadays (i.e. the last 50ish years w.r.t eco conservation) is the idea that we are actually making the world worse (for humans) - that actually making the world better for ourselves necessarily includes limiting or reversing our out-competition of other life. While it may not be noticeable to humans that a single species has been driven out (even just out of a region and not necessarily to full extinction) over the course of 10 or 50 or 500 years due to human activity, that does still represent a change to the established biodiversity, which (many people believe) is likely to be net-negative for humans.

Reasons for these beliefs likely vary according to people's experience and interaction with the physical world. Personally, I find great joy experiencing wildness and nature, and I worry that my daughter will not have that. Others might be concerned that the loss of species incurs the loss of some aspects of nature from which we might be able to learn - that there was an opportunity to better ourselves that is now gone forever.
Oh phooey. Expertise like that is very transferable. I didn't have any trouble transitioning from being an aerospace gearbox expert to writing software and then compilers.
In this case its a good proxy for understanding what's going on with ecosystems in response to change. Caring about crows as a whole will probably mask the point. You might see that this year there are 1% less crows in an area and think all is well, maybe that's within your measurement error. If you noticed however that all crows are doing fine, but efitz’ southeastern marble crested crow numbers have declined significantly, then you have some evidence here. Maybe you look at the particular ecological niches that efitz’ southeastern marble crested crow occupies, whatever they might be, and see that there is something bad affecting that particular niche that you would have not had enough statistical power to see if you considered all the crows in one big bag.
Really? Is that an argument for “bring me a rock” being a successful strategy?

I don’t know why HN is acting so strange regarding replies today but here we go:

> Again, and one last time, he is not advocating for what society should do. He is predicting what it will do,

To mirror your language:
Again, and for one last time:
The intended audience is, by your own admission, possible banking clients. “Institutional investors“ is a category of organizations that have the ability to ramp up foreclosures and/or reduce COVID measures in their businesses.

Perhaps there is some difficulty distinguishing between some random nobody tweeting “lol I think foreclosures are good” and a banking professional “suggesting” that “maybe if the homeless population increases along with fewer Covid concerns, my clients as a professional would make more money. Wink wink!” on an enormous and well-respected platform.

I’m always curious about people that go out of their way to defend big, awful organizations and their terrible agendas. When I was younger, I intuitively guessed that the folks defending the banks were the lavish, decadent rich people. Oddly enough I’ve found that that’s not normally the case, the biggest cheerleaders for this sort of godawful naked “fuck the poor” rhetoric are the aspirational “temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”

Good tidings!

Well, because this is a permit for commercial service, not testing. They already have a testing permit. A commercial service that only operates in the middle of the night would not be very successful.
> People in government positions can do all that legally, maybe with a few extra things to tip-toe around, but not much.

I don't see any problem with this? They're exercising their own free speech rights as private citizens, which is entirely compatible with free speech principles and the first amendment.

> Protests aren't really a government provided platform, they're more a natural gathering of people that the government is explicitly forbidden from breaking up by using their extraordinary powers.

"Public spaces" are a government provided platform. Similarly, if a public university allows certain groups to chalk messages on the sidewalk, they're legally obliged to let other groups chalk messages as well. Arguing that one or both of these aren't a "platform" is purely semantics.

> Defamation is essentially, “Don't make up bad things about us to hurt us,” while disparagement is, “Don't say bad things about us—even if they're true.” So, yes, even if your happy-hour venting session or LinkedIn post references something totally true and not malicious, it's still considered disparagement.
Good advice thanks!
I use it on my private site. Nothing fancy, just a couple of static pages. I use it for including header and footer.

PHP is totally overkill, and even a site generator feels overkill for this purpose; now I can just throw together some html and upload, no need for running a script.

Also it's a bit of nostalgia (the reason I implemented it a cople of years ago) since ssi was my first contact with web development back in '96 or whenever :)
Berlin A+B is included (one of the 130 cities). Or do they live outside, in zone C?
Most people don't want to read most earnestly banned books. It's a very notorious book though, it would probably garner more attention than many uncontroversial books in the long tail of most library collections, which are neither loved nor hated, notorious nor famous.

But a lot of the people interested in reading it would probably have right wing inclinations, and the average librarian doesn't want to support that sort of thing (not least because the nazis themselves were big on book burning..)
That actually is done with a lot of these kinds of systems. In many of the ones I've worked on you have software or hardware "watchdog timers" that have to be reset, or a process will be terminated and restarted (how will vary a bit). Hardware watchdog timers usually trigger something like a reboot, causing the program to be reloaded and restarted. That's about the simplest you can make a supervisor, but you can have more complex ones monitoring the actual internals to respond should the state become corrupted in some fashion as well.

Yes, there are also weekend tickets, zone 1, 2, up to 6 tickets. It’s pretty complex.

Increasing bus capacity might not be easy either. That requires more busses, more staff, more service, more whatever the source of power is for the busses. It all costs ££££.
Thanks. I see them driving around the neighborhood but haven’t noticed anyone in the back seat, driver only.
While that is true for inland brown/grizzly bears, the coastal brown bears under discussion in this article eat huge quantities of spawning salmon during the summer and early fall.

They get much larger and much fatter than the inland bears as a result.
This version is much more advanced than their previous versions, but I generally agree with you. Its nowhere close to being able to get you through most drives without assistance.
Scale that up and you can see the same effect with entire countries.
Yep, that seems to be the case with AMD today. Intel, too, even though their chips still seem to have more room for overclocking (if you win the silicon lottery).

There are plenty of busybodies running the school libraries ensuring books people would read never get bought and purging collections of books now deemed heretical.

There are plenty of busybodies lobbying bookstores to stop selling books.

These books don't, or rarely, make banned book lists. It's done quietly out and out of the public view. The books that get shilled as 'banned books' are all largely (not wholly) books agreeable to a particular class of people.

For example, a very popular children's author who passed away some time ago is completely banned from my library system for ideological reasons.
That ACL filtered list seems like it could be super useful. Its extremely horrid if a UI is full of controls you don't have permission to use.
The article “An Inconvenient Truth About AI > AI won't surpass human intelligence anytime soon” doesn't even once mention or justify the claim in its title.

Streaming replication is supported as per https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/warm-standby.html#ST... . You can likely build shard rebalancing and tenant isolation on top of the existing logical replication featureset. There are some groundwork features for distributed transactions (PREPARE TRANSACTION, COMMIT PREPARED, ROLLBACK PREPARED), but they're not supported as such.

I love postgresql, as long as I don’t have to do upgrade. I have yet to see a successful zero downtime upgrade. That being said, other databases aren’t that much better. Maybe except SQLite.
The company I work for is one example (of MANY) that is finding it quite cost effective to host on AWS as compared to maintaining our own data center.

That being said, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing AWS and Cloudflare get into a price war that lowered egress prices.
The difference is scalability. Tesla can manufacture full equipped vehicles faster and for much cheaper. There are also already 1.5mil vehicles that could be turned on. They do not rely on HD maps.

Even if they arrive 1-2 years later than Waymo/Cruise, they can quickly dominate the driverless market.

Probably historical. Modern linear algebra is extremely recent as math goes. Definitely much younger than calculus.

Also I would add that linear algebra, calculus, and differential equations all go pretty much hand in hand. We could probably stand to teach anyone with an inclination for STEM all of those much sooner.
Yep awk is lovely and well worth the time to learn.

This is probably not important for embedded but doesn’t a pipeline of small scripts (which could be in awk) give you better threading support?

Xargs, GNU parallel or even make then scale that out really quickly.

A rabid bat might not be showing any symptoms, so you have to assume all bats might have rabies. That's why health authorities tend to say "just looking at a bat, you can't tell if it has rabies."

That said, daytime flying, obvious sickness, and aggression/biting are all symptoms of likely rabies in bats.

RMS has:

written, and been part of writing
a suite of tools that have enabled the creation of an emormous catalog of
software.

A lot would not have been possible without having access to a free
compiler and all the other tools needed to write the software you dreamed of?

Most of it with no connection to GNU or RMS.

What tools did you think an ethsutiastic student in Finland hasd access to
to start writing a kernel?

If you want to purge RMS and GNU from your life, go for it.
Just make sure you also purge all the code created due to it.

Hurd failed?
Sort of.
Who cares?

He has done more good, helped more people,
enabled far more people to use computers,
and enabled enormous fortunes to be made.

Do you think something you write will be used
by bilions of people for decades?

You do not like him, you do not like his ideology, who cares?
Dont trivialize his accomplishments.

At least not until you have done the same and much more.
But it's part and parcel to the experience, right? It's a tactile thing.

It's a stand alone, one piece computer, like the old days.

I mean, you don't restore a Chevy Bel-Air and put bucket seats in the front, right?

Even down to the floppy. You get to thumb through the floppy case to find a copy of "Burgertime", shove it in the slot, plug in your joystick, hear the "whirr tick tick tick" of the floppy, and then MUSIC! CRESCENDO! ATTRACT MODE! AWAY WE GO! In all it's one channel, 8 bit splendor.

Pretty sure the market isn't folks looking for a bare board with cables strewn about. There is a lot of effort out there, and many folks, trying to replicate this "retro" experience. And others willing to support it.

Otherwise, yea, run a simulator on...well, anything. "Whee".

It's not my cup of tea, mind, but I'm not the one buying it either.
Two reasons. First, it's just inertia and backward compatibility. Same reason we still use the x86 instruction set in spite of its issues. Second reason is that long IPs really are kind of inconvenient for IT and network administrator people.
