That part that is taking time to get out and have people understand is that we can't do a thing about it. Some of the proposals out there are flat-out crazy. The very article you posted has a line that is just plain insane: "This means that to avoid disaster, we must confront capitalism." Sorry, that's a complete joke.

Here's the plain and simple truth: If all of humanity left the planet next week, and we took all of our technology and capitalism with us. In other words, Captain Kirk beams all of us up into somewhere in space. Even if we did that, it would still take somewhere in the order of 50K to 100K years for a 100 ppm drop in atmospheric CO2.

It is sad to see just how political climate change has become. The data is out there. The studies are out there. The understanding is out there. We need to stop talking about magically capturing CO2 out of the atmosphere and start talking about adaptation. That is the only thing we can do.

Switch our entire economy to renewable energy?

No. That won't fix it. It won't even slow it down.

Switch the entire world economy to the most optimal --yet to be invented-- forms of renewables?

Nope. That won't fix it.

In fact, we already know that, even if we were able to do it, not only would atmospheric CO2 concentration not drop, it would continue to rise.

We need to start having conversations about the truth, not the fantasy du jour, which is the endless loop we seem to be locked into. I get why, it has political value. The ignorant masses are driven into a self-righteous state where support for fantasy merchants actually feels like they are "saving the planet". The entire thing is a silly fantasy. Sorry.

I have written about this on HN before, complete with sources and data. If interested you can find my comments on multiple threads.

As you say, most fail to recognize the scale of the problem. It's a planetary scale issue. Fixing it would require more energy and resources than we could possibly imagine --we might not even have enough on the planet. Even worse, deploying such "solutions" at the scale (energy, materials, etc.) necessary to affect change on a human timeline (decades rather than tens of thousands of years) is far more likely to kill everything on earth than to save the planet. We really, truly, need to stop with this fantasy and come back to a manageable reality. Urgently. This is getting silly.

Basic concept:

In a closed system, you can't reverse something by using less energy than that which went into creating it.

Basic physics. From that principle there's only one possibly conclusion when it comes to climate change: We can't do a damn thing about it.
I think this is an important point indeed. A piece of this puzzle, in my opinion, is that people are not taught this at home anymore. Most familes have both parents working full time and they're exhausted after work. Their kids are raised in daycare and neglected. And so many are raised in divorced/broken/separated/single parent households that compound the problem much more.

Furthermore, most of the US isn't religious anymore. These values and maxims mentioned above are not taught to people anymore, at least not to the degree that they were in the past.

A piece of this should be better training in the home for kids on how to understand the internet. To avoid being hateful and to question things. But so many kids are left to their own devices without parental oversight on this subject. I've even heard the call recently that parents want high schools and colleges to start teaching courses on how to avoid harmful content and misinformation online.

In what feels like ancient history, this used to be the parent's job, before both spouses were working full time.

Our kids and the younger generation suffer from lacking parental instruction on this.
I appreciate what you’re saying and agree with you, but I’m not confident that the US was ever not “whatever rich people shout out”.
It's ridiculous to think a platform that most of humanity uses can be controlled to the liking of the left, the right, the upside down and etc ... cause all those groups make up humanity and we all do not nor will ever think exactly the same and we all have different motives and biases.

Misinformation that's been around forever... ever play the telephone game in school .. you tell one person a story they tell the next and the next and the next soon that story is no longer factual. Stir all that in with bias and things get even murkier!
Studies also seem to show that the trigger mechanism for many of the benefits is caloric restriction and not the fast.

As when fasting we do need to eat at some point.
The chemtrail crowd will love that. Our experience with covid has stolen any hope I had that humanity would be able to rally around scientifically sound solutions to a common enemy.
Xkit | Senior UX Engineer | REMOTE | Full-Time | https://xkit.co

Xkit lets developers add direct, native, embedded integrations to their SaaS app as easily as building a Zapier app. With one straightforward integration to Xkit, developers can add integrations to Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, and others without writing any additional code. Most of the time, those integrations can even be added by non-engineers, like product managers and customer success managers.

We're hiring a Senior UX Engineer to help us define and deliver the user experience for Xkit.

We're a small team without a dedicated designer, so this role is responsible for determining the best UI/UX patterns to employ (using our existing patterns and frameworks where possible) as well as delivering them in the form of working, performant code.

This is a highly product- and user-focused role. We're looking for the rare combination of a highly capable React/Typescript engineer paired with a good UX and design sense.

For a full job description, check out https://github.com/xkit-co/jobs/blob/main/senior-ux-engineer... or feel free to email me directly, I'm trey at our main domain.
I've updated the code to make the modal shorter. The js code is cached so you won't see the change right away.

All the links should open a new tab. Which one did not?

Thank you for the feedbacks!
Yeah, okay, whatever. Facebook was co-founded by a guy who willfully engaged sexually predatory behavior with underaged girls (source: I watched him do it). They were founded on a culture that didn’t care about young women — they were seen as something of which to take advantage.

Don’t bother debating me on this. Ask Facebook to sue me for defamation if they want to fight this claim. And then ask yourself why they won’t.

(I am sure this comment will be downvoted because there’s so many Facebook employees and apologists here. It’ll be fun to come back and look at this after a few years.)
You can drop off any time after 6:30am and pick-up any time before 6pm. Not really a window as such. I've always assumed the number is just a deterrent - I've been late by a couple of minutes in the past and never noticed a fine. Though that might've been at the discretion of staff (e.g., to penalise lazy, repeat offenders rather than isolated case of traffic due to an accident).
What a crock...he was probably looking to get $100k
Steve Jobs was a force of nature.

He brought Objective C to the forefront of attention, by creating a platform for the web, as exploited by Tim Berners Lee.

I must confess, I never learned Objective C.

The Jobsian "reality distortion field" must have been so very hard to bear for the man who wore it, but the ends have justified the means.

Steve Jobs made our reality, early, middle, and late.
Without money behind it, the full-blown assault on knowledge and erudition would go quiet on all fronts, not just on Facebook.

So, the solution is simple: we to ban paid-for speech. If you can staunch the flow of money into social media by way of troll-farms and political ads, I think this would help a lot. Even better if you could ban so-called "news" organizations that are little more than for-profit PR firms. At the very least, we need spend real money to expose and eliminate troll farms, including attacking such organizations in their home countries.
There are certain people whose disapproval is a badge of honor. They show up in threads like this.
This is true too. And the majority of Facebook users I know unfollow people who post political topics.

It is about the circles.
Is it even possible we ever end with conclusive research that could be applied at large scale ? I think you won't have much choice than try and see if it works for you specifically.

We could have more lab mice studies, but it wouldn't account for actual humans' different metabolism, include lifestyle (work, daily rhythm, mental state), actual food intake, genetics etc.

Looking at other human related health subject, for instance we haven't hit any conclusive point on any specific food that is widespread today. Everything regarding fat, proteins, sugar etc. is still small scale, extremely biased, often politicized and producing contradictory results. All we know for sure is that "too much" is not good, and that's after decades and decades of research.
Is this part of the google monrepo? Not that it matters, but I wondered how far monrepo went, inside the tent.

I hate to be a pessimist, and I may be simply ignorant of some realities, but it FEELS like this is setting an impossibly high goal. I think there will turn out to be something significant in 9000 variances, which cannot simply be uplifted into mainstream, and which turn out to be hard to maintain as a continual rebase into the emerging mainstream.

I agree that 40 sounds low, but probably is a good indication it can work. 1% is within view, if they maintained pace so even on a 1% if the rebase cost can be handled, they can converge but that assumes there isn't a showbuster in the 9000.
Got ya. Right now it's html + js, a little easier to maintain. Pure js is definitely an option.
Probably not, since --flagfile accepts a list of filenames :-)

What’s the equivalent of geoengineering for Facebook?
Nothing in her testimony referenced a "Ministry of Truth" or any type of censorship. She specifically spoke against "content-based" solutions.
I don’t work for Facebook.

However, the issues are definitely more complex than media and politicians make it out to be.

Misinformation: take this article from the EFF: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/07/disentangling-disinfor...

Teen users: TikTok, where majority of the teens are, was surprisingly missing from all the discussions. My TikTok feed is far more risqué than my Instagram feed is.

So on..

This isn’t as black or white as HN makes it out to be.
> to having sparks generated by bullets hitting e.g. metal and even then, there's not a lot of sparks

Just wanted to chime in on this - it's impossible for most bullets to cause a spark, unlike what TV and movies show. Most projectiles (including the .303 round the British were using back then!) are lead with a copper plating, which are both non-ferrous metals.

Some Soviet era and US military ammunition (specifically m855 rounds) have a steel core, and those can cast sparks, but almost all handguns, and most rifles, aren't using ammunition capable of doing do.
Can't use the BIOS when I have to preserve my precious uptime. Do people still talk about uptime?
Internet was funny. In the case of Uber, the nascent space was virtual but that was enough for them to ask for the ability to play with the old space with a fresh empty rule set.
Agreed, but I'd say USB headers are in shorter supply. And yeah, I know the 'splitters' are out there, but where the hell am I to mount that? Especially if you need more than one, since for some reason they only give you two headers for the price of one.
I highly recommend The Depressed Person by David Foster Wallace
Gracious me, another word co-opted for the sake of bogus sensationalism...
He also wants the legislation to be toothless or misplaced so Facebook can pay lip service and not be fundamentally altered. Haugen just offered congress more surgical solutions than they were drafting as well as valid critiques of their drafts. That's why this particular post from Zuckerberg comes with such a large side of koolaid.
The example you give and its answer follows a line of reasoning that leads you to an interesting conclusion, that's the point of thought experiments.

What I was saying is more akin to answering your example with:

"Oh no you can't! There's not enough steel on Earth to build such thing and even if you had it, it would require an EEeEeeenOOOOrrrMMMoooUUUusss amount of energy to put in place ;)."

That would be quite a moronic interpretation of the problem that completely misses the goal of said thought experiment, which is, well, to make you think.
Currently the worldwide hunger and infant mortality rates are at an all-time low while population is an all-time high (but the growth rate is quickly decreasing, so the threat of overpopulation has passed). Economic growth lifts a substantial chunk of that population out of poverty each year. Are you worried that you might immiserate or kill most of them when you break up the global economic system?
I think there is a significant fraction of HN who would be worrying about their primary method of EM exposure if they worried about wifi instead of the sun (including myself until I got a dog).
Can you have it play more games by giving it less time per turn (~2500 rating is plenty good for an opponent/coach) and playing games concurrently while it waits for human to play?

how much does a game cost in CPU time money?

How do I get the commentary for a game I played? Oh, it's in Analysis page.

It plays chess very well, but the commentary is incoherent and doesn't match the game well -- The attacks described are nonsense and the coordinates are wrong. It seems a little confused about which side is which? It thinks a rook can diagonally attack a bishop, and seems to name squares opposite from their actual name.
I wonder how many people of that number are people like me - I have a personal page and several business pages.
look at the wildfires in California and the Taiga. Trees can't grow there like they used to because the climate has shifted rapidly and are no longer the right conditions

Can't speak to Taiga, but trees are growing just fine in California. Overgrowth of trees creating fuel for fires is as much a problem as anything.

When will this “just luck” characterization of Zuck die?
His entire company was certain they should sell for $1B, and most executives resigned when he didn’t. He maneuvered control of the majority of voting shares, how many other founders have done that? Instagram and WhatsApp were genius acquisitions everybody at the time clamored were too overpriced. Even Oculus has turned out to be the leading VR platform. All of the people close to him attest to his extreme intelligence.

Whether malicious or not, Zuck didn’t just “aw shucks I got lucky” into the majority owner of a $1T company, cmon…
> Working at an animal shelter may well raise your status with potential partners.

This sounds like an unhealthily cynical view to hold. I certainly hope it does not come as a surprise to hear that some people just genuinely do love animals. Not everything in life boils down to running laps on a hedonic treadmill.
A look at the top Steam games and how many will work on Linux and Steam Deck
I think it is configurable though? Just edit the source file you linked to on your system disk. I don't use HA's os image, but this looks like a text file on the mutable partition that you can easily edit. If one knows enough to set up local DNS servers, surely they can do this as well.

Re "slow to a halt" issue, this sounds like a bug independent of the upstream server issue. If the internet is not working (because general connectivity is lost, or someone blocked the DNS server, whatever) then of course the internet-using parts will cease to work, but local network parts should still be working. The config file is pretty clear that it is not supposed to use DNS servers, cloudfare or any other ones, for the local network connections. If this is not the case, you should file a bug.
This is much more aimed at the "little guy". There's apparently any number of things you can end up doing for someone that'd qualify as a taxable event. Getting financial institutions to report movements over $600 is getting into "Eh, gave my buddy 600 for <one-off thing>, now he owes me a favor or whatever". Which is way more intrusive than it's ever been in my lifetime.
> When you think about those broken by anti-cheat, 15 might not sound like a lot but these are they absolute most popular games on Steam. Their absence will be felt if they aren't updated to work.
Android 12 Features and Changes
I've also never had an issue with Facebook. I've been online through usenet/irc, AIM, livejournal, and then forced to join Facebook because everyone at the university was using it for class correspondence. Later, I have exactly your sentiments, that it has allowed me to stay in touch with people I would have lost touch with over the years. I take advantage of some of the groups for my industry, and my hobbies. I use our company's Page to interact with a whole segment of our international customer base, that would never think to call our support telephone number or e-mail. It's never been a negative experience for me. Although I only look at it when I get home from work at night on my desktop computer. And don't ride around all day with the app running in my pocket. I don't quite know if that would make a huge difference though.
Sure, small businesses are fine using postgres. I would argue that by developer market share though most (or perhaps just many) developers have to worry about these issues, since the companies that have scale have to higher many more developers.

There's also the argument that businesses hoping to scale might be better off assuming they will need it to save themselves work down the road.
The initial price target for the Macintosh was $1495, but with the addition of new technology like the Sony 400K floppy disk drive, the team realized it would have to sell for a higher price like $1995.

Three months before the release, John Sculley decided to raise the price to $2495 and use the extra profits for marketing. Steve Jobs was upset at this but eventually gave in. I've often wondered how different things would have been if Steve had won that argument... probably not very, to be honest.

There are cases where logging identifying info is needed. In case you have a rate limit by customer, or you have dynamic firewall rules that have to read the logs.

In this case, it is permitted to collect the log and keep them temporarily (24h or so). A workflow to keep deleting older logs or scrub the logs must be installed in this case.
There is probably no “right” answer on this, at least I didn’t find one when I tried Keto a few years ago. Probably best to try and see how you feel tbh
what exactly is a waveguide? How much stronger is that compared to something like a directional antenna at 1W rubbing your face?
I have a mind-blowing idea.
Don't have children...?

Birth rate decrease -> demand decrease -> CO2 decrease

If we have the same birth rate as Korea or Japan, the population would drop more than 20% in 50 years according to the population prediction in these two countries. This means lots of demand would not need anymore, and might be the best practice which could be done by individual.
Same case with Enron. After the Enron scandal the Sarbanes - Oxley act was enacted to strengthen financial reporting practices along with a bunch of new modifications in the accounting principles and guidelines (GAAP).

The SOX Act was considered to be greatest and the most radical update in Accounting since the invention of the double entry method. Governance and stewardship was theorized in Accounting but they were pushed into practice with the SOX act.

Similarly we had the Dodd-Frank act post the financial crisis of '08.

Essentially law is a post-facto phenomenon. We can not be sure what to write into a legal framework unless there is an evidence for the need to such laws.
No one is calling for the internet to be less free, or have more constraints. They're calling for specific platforms to alter their interactions model to discourage toxic group behaviors at scale.
Short answer: talk to a doctor first.

Long answer (this is not medical advice): certain risk groups (related to kidney and liver function) should not observe a keto diet without consulting with their doctor. The long term risks of an animal protein heavy keto diet are unknown (think colorectal cancer from red and processed meats, including those with nitrates used in their production). Be mindful of electrolyte and water consumption while on a keto diet.
TikTok wouldn't be allowed to exist.
So, if I want to disable this, I should set a big number to the browser.low_commit_space_threshold_mb pref in about:config, right?

I just don't get why this would be useful. When I start Firefox, inactive tabs aren't loaded until I click on them. If something is eating RAM, I can close that tab or close Firefox, and very rarely Firefox would crash. Why would someone like me, that doesn't suspend/hybernate their computer, want this and get a tab unloaded without my explicit will to do so?
I feel like I'm missing something in this article. Several of the points just don't make any sense to me.

* Their point about how you can just rewrite relational queries manually and not lose any performance does not seem true the moment that you need to join tables on a condition.

* Their section on reliable replications can be resolved by keeping a log of the changes made to the database rather than a log of the queries. I don't understand how their NoSql model of "Download the latest doc during a change" is any better. It basically becomes "last writer wins" in a distributed system.

* The downgrading to NoSql argument makes little sense to me as well. If your frontend is sqlite then you can have Postgres, or MariaDb in your backend. You need to account for having different queries on the front and the back, but the backend is presumably also operating under very different constraints than the frontend.

* I'd actually make an argument that NoSql databases are a type of relational database heavily optimized towards not needing to do joins. The corollary to this is that over time you may find that, oops, you do want to do joins, and now you have to pay a tax on not being set up to do so in the first place.

* Also, is it just me or is the Hybrid Logical Clock they mention a type of Lamport Clock where the linked article doesn't ever state that?
Let's just select 0.45% of world population randomly, cut off their electricity, and use it on carbon capture. Imagine how much better the prospects of the remaining 99.55% would be!
At the risk of repeating the obvious the OP is little more than a poorly researched and reasoned troll/drive-by generalization, but as a residential builder for 20+ years I do wish that a culture of quality was more highly valued in the US market. Unfortunately there are bigger factors in play than how thick your exterior walls are which decide what the value is.
It seems delusional to think there are many instituional efforts that try to prevent singular "they".
Yes. Imagine a chair with one pair of diagonally opposite legs very long and the other pair of legs very short. On even a flat surface it is impossible to touch all four legs to the floor simultaneously.
Black coffee shouldn’t have calories, but it apparently does trigger metabolic responses in the brain, gut and liver.

Most people debating things like coffee, tea, lemon, even fish oil (which definitely has calories) have lost the forest for the trees, and they often can’t explain why they are fasting in the first place or their goals.
