I worked on a library that had to process PDFs and grabbed a bunch of PDFs from archive.org and other open sources for testing, and as I recall, about 2% of them had at least one JPEG2000 image. So if you're in the PDF space it's probably still worth considering.
For context [0] says global annual methane generation is ~570E6 tons, which puts hourly production at 570E6/(24*365)~=65000 or over a thousand times this source. Like, not /great/ definitely want to address. But unless it's a symptom of a new mechanism I don't know if I should be super alarmed.

> passing many good hires is preferable to letting one bad hire through.

This is certainly Google’s philosophy, but our industry doesn’t think with one mind on this.

And as for having so little material - to me this is a sign of a badly designed interview. Almost everyone is weak in one area or another. If your interview only assesses candidates in one way (eg via a coding challenge, or based on a single whiteboard problem) then you are making a decision with insufficient signal. Multifaceted interviews are good interviews.

Plenty of otherwise strong candidates are weak in at least one section of any assessment. And plenty of bad hires will still, for example, know trivia about data structures even though they don’t actually know how to program. Making a hiring decision based on a single metric leaves way too much to chance.

(Source: I’ve done over 400 technical interviews)
Seriously. I see so many functions in my code see that consist of 1 line of thing I actually care about followed by 3 lines of boilerplate if err not nil… over and over again.

IMO if Go didn’t have its tooling, no one would care about it.
Title is clickbait. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management saying "there is no permanent facility allowed to do this" is not mystifying.

> The Oct. 22 release was detected by satellite and pinpointed to an area in Marion County near natural gas wells in the Black Warrior Basin, a pair of gas pipelines and coal mines.

Read: it's almost certainly gas from the mines.

> The Alabama release is the fifth largest detected by the ESA’s Sentinel-5P satellite this year in the lower 48 U.S. states, according to Kayrros.

"Fifth largest in this part of the country" is... not news.

> The Alabama Department of Environmental Management wasn’t able to identify a permanent facility that would be responsible for any releases after a diligent review of its records.

This isn't even a "they don't know" it's just a "they didn't tell us."

Q: Un pretre, un imam et un rabbin entrent dans un bar et vont payer leur verre.

R: Le patron leur dit : « Je ne peux pas vous servir parce que je suis Juif, Chrétien ou Musulman. Lequel de vous est le plus faible? » Les Chrétiens, les Musulmans et les Juifs répondent : « Nous sommes tous des êtres humains! »

Et le patron leur dit : « Mais vous n�êtes pas des êtres humains, vous êtes des religions!!! »

Aujourd�hui, le monde est un grand village où chaque nation est devenue une religion. C�est le même Dieu qui nous a créés. Toutes les religions sont donc égales. La raison pour laquelle les Chrétiens, les Musulmans et les Juifs

I don't get it and i'd like to know what the barman has to answer back to these guys complaining about 1 euro drinks.

On Gen Z CIA recruits having pre-existing social media presences:

> They’re shrewd enough either to be circumspect users of social media from the start or to review (and delete) old problematic tweets and posts.

Is this particularly effective, though? Most social media sites have been scraped to hell and back - surely there's archives of the old problematic stuff.

It must be tough working in counterintelligence these days - social media has greatly increased the attack surface for blackmail.

Countries that have never known democracy, or received democracy without ever truly fighting for it, don't really care much whether you're a dictator or not a dictator- that's all that they've known.

> When their app store faces anti-trust, and everyone already has an iphone and the next igadget is 5 years away, how do you generate growth?

I'd suggest this is the definition of being out of ideas, as the way they grew last time was they invented the iPhone, and then the iPod, and then the Airbook, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Then there was the mini tracking device to help you believe every other product wasn't already a tracking device.

Imo, the negative inflection point was the AppleTV launch where it was just a bunch of celebrities, and for Cook to stay at the helm, he needs to deliver a Jobs level win. Enterprise may be his "second envelope," as I think it's a safety play.

Reframing your question as, what can they re-invent next? That's hard to answer without being that level of design thinker. Cook's team is designing products for a very different world than the one Jobs did. The aesthetics, aspirations, and even power means different things now, as they say, what got us here doesn't get us where we need to go next. The enterprise product is going to be huge revenue wise, but innovation wise, I think it's treading water.

Maybe the smartest thing to do is to turn Apple into a company that doesn't need to run on genius anymore, and fork a design driven ventures division with a mission to get exposure to early stage brilliance instead. What Jobs did was bring artists to tech, but that whole play was predicated on a bohemian/creative class that doesn't matter the same way anymore because their rarity and scarcity was an artifact of geography that is no longer a factor. This bringing something from one place to another aspect of Jobs' vision (and cultural arbitrage) breaks down when that physical distance is no longer meaningful.

The distance to bridge with products now is intellectual, educational, cultural, political, etc, and maybe we don't want it bridged now, maybe what we desire is that distance again. The next iPhone level innovation won't be a signifier of joining the middle class of that time, it will be either a barrier to it, or an escape from it.
Keep rates steady for old customers, raise rates for new ones.
The idea that the dislike ratio indicates any of this is kinda silly. At best, a "large number" or "majority of viewers" isn't even close to a 10th of those who have watched it, the rest either liked the video or didn't care enough to leave a like/dislike. And as is pretty commonly known, people are much more likely to leave feedback if they're unhappy than happy, so clearly the numbers are going to be at best unreliable and likely very tilted in the dislike direction.
Okay but we are talking about YouTube. YouTube doesn't even do this. Nothing changes about your experience watching a video if it has a lot of dislikes.
They are owned by it's member banks.

The member banks are most certainly for-profit.

Those member banks are in turn owned through a web of funds and trusts by individuals.

Do you really think these institutions exists for the good of the people? They exist to control the people by controlling the availability of credit, which is the main driver of the artificial boom-bust economic cycle.
I would get a Lightning if it came in a 2 door option. I know they didn't offer one to streamline the build process, but it shorter cars have their benefits when you live in/near a city.
I'm happy to entertain the idea that Go is a sweet spot for many, but please let's not pretend language features are universally bad. After all, Go benefits enormously from a garbage collector and its language-level support for Hoare's CSP. Two very important features that e.g C and C++ do not have (they do however have structs, for loops and if statements).

IMHO Go certainly chose wisely when it left out many OOP features of questionable value. And perhaps in doing so, it avoided the whole OOP culture, which has produced a lot of over-complicated software and tools. The culture of simplicity in Go is a really good thing and worth defending. However, we should be open to the idea that one or more additional language features might help to further this goal.

You're making a lot of assumptions. I'm one of the 80% accepts the covid vaccine.

I also disagree with the mandates and downvote all of the covid vaccine propaganda video I see on youtube.

Regular people are tired of the lying whether they agree with the vaccines or not.
Yes we should totally take google at their word when they say it's not politically motivated.

They can say whatever reasoning they want, that does not necessarily make it true. Google has a well defined history of lying publicly or hiding the things they do. Dragonfly, PRISM... These things take brave whistle blowers that have their lives ruined to reveal.

If I said, "I am going to eat this fried twinkie because it is for my health" would you take that as a factual statement (that twinkies are healthy) just because some PR department repeated it on my behalf? Google saying they are not doing this on behalf of the current administration means nothing. Nobody reasonable expect them to really be honest with the public/users anymore.

Not really... the OP101 was priced at about $26k in 2021 dollars. The Apple I was priced at about $3250, which meant it was affordable for hobbyist purposes.

It was also mostly complete out of the box, didn't need to be programmed via switches on the front panel, and could be used for actual tasks right away.

Its combination of low cost, high feature count, and out of the box usefulness is why it usually gets referred to as the start of the personal computer industry.

Many times it is not hard to figure out why the question was written in a bad way. Spending time in the review queue can give a good sense on bad types of content that are typical on the site.

Common issues I come across are very vague statements without an actual question, very broad advisory /opinionated questions, very specific solve this bug in my day job/code , no examples/illustrations added, or a big log or code dump - i.e. no effort to separate out the actual problem statement, do my homework kind of questions, typically there will already be comments asking for improvements without much impact.

I wouldn't down-vote a question that I don't fully understand ( I guess that is true for most users too), at the same time I want to make sure bad content is not encouraged. It is just internet points for both users, nothing to fret about.
This is exactly why I canceled my Cybertruck reservation for an R1T. Tesla was the only company offering a realistic path toward an electric outdoor vehicle, but I immediately canceled when I read about the R1T because it is actually seems to be designed with outdoor users in mind, while still being functional as a daily vehicle.

Their customer service is also pretty stellar - they even gave me the dimensions of the truck bed ahead of time, so I can build out a camper top in CAD and have it ready before my upcoming delivery.
I wonder if someone can produce an extension like SponsorBlock to add the functionality back. Surely this must be coming after this announcement.

For people that don't know SponsorBlock is a magical extension that uses crowdsourced data to automatically skip in video advertisements/end title/start tile junk that youtubers tend to do. What an amazing show of the power of software and intuitive thinking.

I'm not sure if I agree with it, but you could make an argument that programming languages are colored by the L1 languages of their initial designers. So you might see a bit of Japanese in Ruby, and a bit of Brazilian Portuguese in Lua. But programmers in general tend to have excellent English and are inspired overwhelmingly by languages written by English speakers, so it's difficult to evaluate.
You're just assuming as much as Bloomberg. What makes you reach these conclusions?
Plenty of uncompressed tarballs exist. In fact, if the things I’m archiving are already compressed (e.g. JPEGs), I reach for an uncompressed tarball as my first choice (with my second choice being a macOS .sparsebundle — very nice for network-mounting in macOS, and storable on pretty much anything, but not exactly great if you want to open it on any other OS.)

If we had a random-access file system loopback-image standard (open standard for both the file system and the loopback image container format), maybe we wouldn’t see so many tarballs. But there is no such format.

As for “why archive things at all, instead of just rsyncing a million little files and directories over to your NAS” — because one takes five minutes, and the other eight hours, due to inode creation and per-file-stream ramp-up time.
> why can they keep charging so much tuition

Because everyone keeps paying so much tuition. Why does _everyone_ can afford to pay so much is another question worth exploring.
It's sad to see Hacker News defending vote brigading. If you're like me and watch a lot of history YouTube videos, it's obvious that this is happening. Watch any video on African history and it's plainly obvious that this is a problem.

The ratio was _never_ a good indication of anything other than a video being targeted. If you believe it was, I can only assume that you agree with the targeting.

So then you'll agree that in a society where people without jobs are precluded from survival, labor is (in effect) coercive. Thus, any wealth accrued by arbitraging the labor of others was unethically gained and fair game for redistribution up to the point where joblessness is no longer an existential threat?

If you think mainstream COVID vaccine-related info is "propaganda" and "lying", then you don't "accept the vaccine". Additionally, most people agree with the mandates: https://news.gallup.com/poll/354506/update-american-public-o...

It's statistically impossible for the like/dislike ratio on COVID-related videos to be representative of public opinion.
I agree with you generally, but take a look at all the tech that Rivian has had to invent to get offroading right in an EV. The mechanical aspects of the drivetrain and suspension are very different than a traditional offroad vehicle. I think Ford will have less of an advantage than you think.

It's because they want to reap the benefits of a social platform without actually participating in a social aspects of said platform.

If by they you mean Google then I agree. Google reaps the benefits, to the tune of billions, while deflecting as much accountability as possible. Google's entire m.o. is to build enormous scale through software automation without providing any human-level support to its users. Large changes (like the removal of dislike counts) are made only under pressure from powerful groups, unless Google deems such changes to be profitable.
So AFAIK Tether has ~$30b of commercial paper (https://tether.to/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/tether_assuranc...) which would make it one of the larger commercial paper operators in the US market if it operated there.

From what I've read, other paricipants in the US market have stated they don't see Tether partipating there, to that kind of volume.

Combine that with the fact that, until recently, China was a huge market for crypto both miners and traders, and it seems likely that the large chinese commercial paper market would be where Tether would have at least some of it's money.

I never said all Ubers should be wheelchair accessible. I was responding to your assertion that wheelchair-bound customers should bear all the cost of their accommodations.

Currently, in most cities, a certain number/% of taxis are required to be wheelchair-accessible. It's a bare minimum, usually with wait time well in excess of what the rest of us would consider reasonable (DC states it averages 45 minutes, but I can call a cab in 10-15 minutes notice or hail one on the street in less time than that).

If there was a market for equivalent service for wheelchair-bound customers, it would exist already. The market simply doesn't exist, at least not in any way that makes financial sense. So we have regulations to force it.

Having a blind family member who encounters similar issues on a daily basis, I'm totally fine with socializing the cost of her accommodations. To do otherwise would just be greedy and mean.
When the sea levels rise a significant amount, sure. How much additional coastal erosion does IPCC think we’re getting now, with sea levels up like 4 inches?

I don't like the tyranny of optimism either, but I wouldn't wish UK customer service on anyone that's dear to me. Nor German one for that matter, a place that they conveniently call "Servicewueste"(service desert).

I absolutely love US customer service, but then I also get annoyed when incompetent service agents keep trying to help when they should really hand it over to someone more competent. I guess that's because they are worried that they might lose their job if the customer is unhappy.

I always joke that every company needs exactly one German. One German is enough to call out all the bullshit americans praise over the top, but if there's too many nothing will ever get done because everything is impossible.

I really wonder if there is a middle ground. I certainly haven't encountered it in any country I've lived in.
NAPLPS didn't really have much of any syntax. Pretty much anything was valid. I used to fix Telidon terminals back in the day. A favourite pastime was to send a terminal some wildly inappropriate data so as to enjoy the wild and trippy vector madness that would ensue.
Here on HN, downvoted comments become so hard to read I don't even bother. That's effectively censorship. On Reddit, they become automatically hidden and subject to removal. On YT, I'm not sure what happens, but it's possible downvoted videos get treated less favorably by the recommendation and search algorithms.

I enjoy 4chans model of posts with more replies generally attracting more attention (similar to sorting by controversial on Reddit). I also like that the dialogue graph there isn't necassarily 'tree shaped' and it's easier to reply to comments across a thread.
I think we played on different machines. You talk about high end VGA and cache. But most 386's had no cache, mine surely hadn't. My VGA was slow enough not to care about transferring 16 bits instead of 8, it just got half as fast or worse. OTOH, the low res mode, 160x200, was created by enabling 2 of the planes, and made a big difference. And 64K on a 4MB meant less of hard disk activity, which was my main bottleneck.

The semi translucent spectres causing VGA reads were very bad on that machine, causing <5FPS if there were multiple on screen. I learned to shoot them on sight and from a distance.
