this is a point that seems to be largely overlooked overall on the impact a specific country has on global emissions.

Overall, the US has a bigger impact than a country like Spain simply because you need to also factor in the supply chain emissions that come with it (in this case, a lot of it being generated somewhere else but being consumed in the US).
> and their occupation of Palestine is a war crime under the geneva convention

This is not true. Military occupation by itself is allowed, but puts certain restrictions on the occupying power. For example, it's forbidden to transfer own population into the occupied territory, which Israel does.

Alright then. Let's create a Palestinean state, ask all the Palestinians inside of Israel to move there, to be governed by their own elected government, and stop attacking Israel.
Oh, wait... Yeah, no. You do understand that the so called "Apartheid" doesn't exists, right? If you ask the Israeli Arabs if they would move to "Palestine", the majority would tell you no. The Arabs living inside of Israel, not Gaza, and not the west bank, have the same rights, votes, representation in the Knesset (congress), free education, free healthcare, and the same rights to work than jews, Druze, christians, and the Bahai. If you have 90% of the terrorism coming from a specific place, you will monitor that. It has nothing to do with apartheid. And you saying this, specially as a jew, shows a complete ignorance for the subject at hand. I lived in Israel for 20 years. I lived in South Africa during the apartheid, I saw what that is. I also lived in South America during the Juntas and military governments. Israel is neither.
People don't spend the time in Israel understanding this, or at least reading about it.

Did they really need Pinterest's failed acquisition to contextualize this article? It's not even discussed save for a throwaway comment at the end. Pinterest has been an annoyance to image searchers for a long time, are they suggesting that somehow PayPal didn't know, and upon discovery they too concluded, "Pinterest sucks and it has utterly ruined photo searching on the internet."

The observation on HN seems rather strange. One Day, HN bash anyone who support Ads as a way forward to offer any Internet services. All Ads are evil. At some point people are even questioning how could anyone be working inside Ad industry.

Another day HN are extremely happy to see Telegram getting ads to support their services. Because they are competing with Facebook / Whatsapp.

May be after all it isn't Ads are evil or bad, it is ads from Facebook or Google are bad?

It also gets easier the more things you already know. Nowadays learning a new domain is mainly a mapping exercise. Oh this is kind of like X. Neat so that is basically a twist on Y. Especially after you’ve lived through a few hype cycles and start to realize there’s not all that much that’s foundationally new under the sun.

They still increase the safety by limiting the speed in for example an exposed intersection.

On the other hand you can go the average speed route instead.

The issue with SNPs is that they are generally common in the population, and a variant that is common will rarely have a big effect. If we look at GWAS studies, most of them do not explain much of the variance of a phenotype. It either is due to environment/epigenetics or we are not using the right data. Part of it is of course the former, but I'm betting on the latter. I'm not a researcher, so I could of course be very wrong.
The cameras are more effective if people have to expect them everywhere, because then they will (hopefully) stick to the speed limit everywhere.
I'm always suprised that people find Signal a hassle. For me, the experience is basically the same as WhatsApp's – minus the "Status" feature.

Yes, Telegram has the superior UI compared to both. But for me, if I had to name an alternative to WhatsApp, Signal is the first coming to mind. The biggest (only?) reason being the lack of e2e encryption per default for 1:1 chats and complete lack thereof for group messaging in Telegram.

And even if e2ee in groups wasn't important for me, the lack of e2ee support in the desktop client breaks the usability argument completely for me.
It's such a pity, because I'd love to recommend Telegram if they'd just use some variant of the Sinal Protocol for everything, just like Matrix, XMPP and WhatsApp are doing it.

File-scoped namespaces is nice to not have every class already sitting at one level of indentation. I don't see what it has to do with nested folders.
That's what the guys from the Internet Archive and CiteSeer also tend to say.
The basic problem is, how do you even know that something is a variable reference? Remember, everything is a string. This means that the body of the lambda is also a string. Now you can require that it's an eval'able string at the point of creation, and parse it to identify any $var references. But you can only do that for the topmost level of the lambda, because it can contain nested strings - and you don't know which of those strings are code, and which aren't (since it's really the command to which the string is passed that decides to treat something as code or not).

Furthermore, if you process $ like that, this won't work for any other command that takes a variable name as an argument, and does something to it.

Google should frankly just quit indexing Pinterest until Pinterest rejoins the open web. That goes for any registration-mandatory or paywalled site. Looking at you, Medium.
I think you should also consider first and foremost the CEO's primary stated reason, which is introducing too much volatility for the company. He's said that Zillow aimed to be a market maker with +/- 200 basis points, but that Zillow Offers ended up swinging +/- 700 basis points. This volatility makes Zillow less like a reliable publicly traded company with regular growth and earnings, and more like a housing hedge fund where they need to hold onto a huge pool of capital to cover liquidity swings.

> We have been unable to accurately forecast future home prices at different times in both directions by much more than we modeled as possible, with Zillow Offers unit economics on a quarterly basis swinging from plus 576 basis points in Q2 to an expected minus 500 to minus 700 basis points in Q4.

> Put simply, our observed error rate has been far more volatile than we ever expected possible and makes us look far more like a leveraged housing trader than the market maker we set out to be.

> We’ve got these new assumptions that we’d be naïve not to assume will happen again in the future, we pump them into the model and the model cranks out a business that has a high likelihood, at some point, of putting the whole company at risk, not just the business, but in the more normal case, just causes a ton of volatility in earnings, which is not a great look for a public company. That’s basically what it boils down to.

He also acknowledged the operational issues, but in reality it seems like the volatility + scale of the capital needed is too much for Zillow to risk on top of their existing business and status as a public company.

Stratechery had a good article on this which is where I pulled those quotes from, but it is behind a paywall.

You’re right, you probably know more about it than the academic who founded a company on their research on the subject.
Exposure therapy is not the same as randomly triggering the person. It is not going into situations where you will fail either. It is quite deliberate process where you expose person to dose the the person can handle with some difficulty and then you give them break to recover.

when talking about indentured servants you are probably referring to small Indian IT bodyshops, that keep people on low wages due to them being on a very long green card queue, but this has nothing to do with H1 per se. These people do not work in big tech

Pinterest is intentionally designed to facilitate rich context around images. That’s kind of the whole idea and value proposition of the service.

Most “Pins” are created with the Pin-it button browser extension or JavaScript embed which associates the website the image is on and other context with that image and retained when “uploaded” to Pinterest.

In the long tail, yes- there are Pins that are void of context because of incorrect user submission (direct image upload) or broken links as a result of the website owner not redirecting when the content is moved. This was a continuous problem that everybody was interested in solving.

A huge contributor to this imo is the grant system and how it works particularly at very large research institutions and universities. Typically the only people with the means and time to do "just for curiosity" / fundamental research are people in long-term professor / research positions where they are allowed to pursue whatever they want (as long as they are frequently published). Grants work against this, as they create an incentive to work on specific, often more short term projects / applications rather than fundamental questions. In this way, injecting money into academia via grants actually reduces the amount of fundamental research being done, because a majority of researchers are going to chase the grants aka the short term interests of corporations and governments rather than do less financially rewarding fundamental research.
> Instead of informing the public of the facts (The plant was an antique, didn't meet safety standards, was built on a fault line)

Knowing these facts makes it even more scary. We can't move countries away from fault lines, so plants are going to be build in these places again. Everything new is going to be old eventually. There's no reason to expect meeting safety standards in the future if we can't do it right now.
I share your feelings on this.

It is an awesome thing to lower (or eliminate entirely) your social media usage. To begin "doing", creating, and being in the present moment with yourself. It's liberating, and after the odd "brain itch" feeling wears off from not using social media anymore, I truly did recognize a state of contentedness that I'd long not felt.

But then you go to visit your family and friends. They begin talking about that viral video they shared on Facebook. About the funny TikTok challenges that they are all doing. About the latest internet fad that they got interested in over the last week.

And suddenly, you are an outsider. No one cares about that poem you wrote last week. Or if they do, they don't discuss the content of the poem or its meaning -- they tell you to start an Instagram page and start building an audience. They tell you to start that Youtube channel so you can maybe monetize that creative spark inside you.

It's very isolating.

I know there are many people out there who aren't on social media and share the same thoughts/experiences as me, but unfortunately, those people are not most the people I'm close with. Or even aware of.

Instead, most people are exactly like most people: living online.

For C++ development, MSBuild sucks and the IDE for code authoring is slow and cumbersome, but the debugging experience is still king; there is nothing that even comes close on any platform.

I wish we'd get the debugging experience ported as an extension in VSCode and (wishful thinking) cross-platform too.

The term "under the radar R&D" has not been unheard of in many corporate research labs.

> The technology isn't really being exported, so that influence wouldn't be exactly global.

China has started exporting their Hualong One reactor with at least two Pakistani Nuclear Power Stations building a total of 5 Hualong One reactors: Karachi and Chashma.

Argentina is expected to start building a Hualong One reactor by next year and it is under consideration in the United Kingdom.

> Most reactors on order or planned are in the Asian region, though there are major plans for new units in Russia.

https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/current-an...

> China is planning at least 150 new nuclear reactors in the next 15 years, more than the rest of the world has built in the past 35.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-11-02/china-cli...

If it goes anything like their buildout of high speed railway China would probably end up doubling the reactor capacity built by 2035 over this plan.
> CO2 molecules have no nationality

if that's the case, why do you think american citizen deserve to pollute a lot more than Chinese citizen? why would being born inside US border somehow makes it ok to pollute more than if you were born inside china

By your logic, if China were to split in 150 small countries, they could pollute as much as they like because technically each of them would be low on the list of highest emitter.
I am curious what would be the number if you take into account that good chunk of the world is servicing US and Europe. Basically the developed countries outsourced the pollution.

Indeed, but it seems to be close to the current "industry standard" at this point, for instance: Node LTS is 12-months support plus 24-months "extended security support". (Three years total)

Which is not far from say Ubuntu LTS at five years. (Python and Ruby have more confusing security fix policies than LTS/stable designations, but both are relatively close to the 3-5 year mark for security fixes.)

Definitely not "long" from the perspective of classic Enterprise development (or Windows "LTS" lengths), but from modern viewpoints it is "long". Interesting how such things shift culturally.
