>This is very strange, especially as stark differences in measured IQ (and, in fact, in intelligence) between small children are often rather apparent,

This is pseudo-science. That's why nobody who understands science "believes" it.

>There are no known studies showing that education can actually increase IQ in any non trivial and lasting manner

Even if this were a scientifically meaningful statement (which it isn't), it's factually incorrect. Try checking out the abstract next time: "Intelligence test scores and educational duration are positively correlated... Education appears to be the most consistent, robust, and
durable method yet to be identified for raising intelligence."

So specifically what is Nordhaus' response to the criticism that a linear (or quadratic) model of gdp vs temperature fitted across space doesn't account for tipping points? Such as, say, if there is a severe scarcity of suitable land for growing food then the effort required to obtain food would likely rise in a very nonlinear fashion? (Not to mention that if that effort is reflected in price it could even show up as a positive in gdp when it's clearly a Very Bad Thing?)

If the model described above is not what he actually did, then what is it he did do?

Feel free to link your thesis if its the most succinct answer...
Okay, but if an office is so cold that people are putting scarves and jackets on, that’s a problem. It’s also a huge waste of energy.

Nodebox 1 is an amazing Mac only Python library & GUI for visual programming & generative art. https://www.nodebox.net/code/index.php/Home.html

Processing comes in a Python flavor as well, and is cross platform. https://py.processing.org/

BTW, it’s incredibly easy in Python to make generative art in many styles including the ones in this article using only an image output library.
log4j is a problem that affects compiled apps written in a mature language

As a C developer, I disagree with the assertion that Java is a mature language. It's only 26 years old! (And in a practical sense even younger than that, since it has changed a lot since the early versions.)

3 Methods I Plan to Use to 3X My Social Media Growth for Web 3.0
Ask HN: Has anyone else been ghosted by Cloudflare?
I submitted Cloudflare's coding challenge over a month ago, and I've heard nothing since (and like, I get that there's a lot of applications, but if someone puts in the multiple hours to complete the coding challenge I feel like at least some feedback is warranted—especially given how involved the Cloudflare one is). Has anyone else experienced this with Cloudflare? Is this normal?
The woman has started watching her YT talking heads at 2x speed, ugh. The only thing more annoying hearing constant idiotic blather is hearing it in chipmunk.
In Slavic languages (i.e half Europe) the choice of past tense forms depends on the gender: "I said" is translated differently depending on whether "I" is male or female. I wouldn't say it's a totally different language, but translators often have to assume the gender when translating from a language which doesn't have such a feature.
For personal sites? Sure, why not.

For anything commercial though, especially in media publishing, this is just insane.

I'm beginning to think the old generation of "celebrity" web devs (the ones that became famous in the 2000s - now around in their 50s) has really lost touch with the modern web for some time now. And this comes from someone who's actually bought all of Jeremy's books.

The fact that Google is switching away from third party cookies is surely not a matter of "resisting the tide" as Jeremy writes. It's actually about more control. Whoever controls the web platform (=the browser) can now control the ad landscape [1]. See how Google used AMP to promote a supposedly "faster" web (and it's now being sued for for preferencial ad placement) [2].

Education scales terribly because in every small town, for every subject, you need a teacher. The level of teaching varies widely, and teachers have no reason, other than ambition, for the quality of education they deliver to be top-notch.

The purpose of education is also very widely misunderstood. I often see (for context: I'm in Eastern Europe) regrets that the education process does not provide valuable life skills, that there is too much focus on subjects like physics or biology.

School teaches you to be systematic, to look for information, to know that even if you don't like or want to know something, you have to sit down and learn it. These are very important lessons that can later be translated into other "life skills".
Cross platform Cocoa would be a dream, even if it doesn’t check all of the current buzzword boxes. It’s great to work with and quite consistently when working in other toolkits I find myself a bit disappointed about how many widgets are missing or how bare bones the widgets are compared to Cocoa. The only thing that really comes close is Qt Widgets, which I find takes a good deal more effort to produce a good looking product with and doesn’t feel as nice to work with.

Probably depended heavily on what kind of options you needed.

WinNT network config covers a lot more than people are aware even if you keep just to TCP/IP - how many people are aware that all WinNT >=5.0 systems are OSFPv2 routers? There's also of course optional RIP listener, or the part where WinNT >=6.0 is IPv6-first.

When the claim was made, you could end up working with few major network protocol families, and while vendors failure was leading to ending GOSIP it was still unclear if TCP/IP would be winner (I think TUBA - aka IPv9 - was still in the running when the prolog part of network configuration was done), you had huge installed base of IPX/SPX (that didn't really go away till early 2000s), you had NetBEUI support for dealing with LanManager variants, there was Banyan VINES you might have to cooperate with (especially if you tried to sell to USMC, iirc), there was X.25, FrameRelay and other WAN specific protocols you might need to support, there was AppleTalk, there was ATM (not just IP over ATM), there was support for dealing with IBM Mainframe networks...

All of the above also had presence in the Unix market, and given 1993 release date, all of that was present in some ways - and Microsoft could capitalize on "we can easily support all of that".
> One, there must be something unrelated to criminal justice administration that (a) is only occurring in San Francisco, and (b) is so criminogenic that crime should actually be higher here, but our low incarceration rate is suppressing it. I honestly can’t think of what that would be, though.

I'll answer it for the author: Inequality. If you have a city littered with billionaires while a large chunk of the population can't even afford a safe place to sleep, chances are you'll see some property crime.

It's really not that hard to grasp. The whole article screams conservative outrage without any understanding of the matter at hand.
In a pinch you can get an adjustable vent in your office. If it is hot, and the vent is blowing hot (my situation) you close the vent. But yes, I show up to work with shorts, tshirt and sandles under my regular clothes, because my office would regularly go 90 degrees through some issues with its siting (sun despite all windows with blinds closed) and HVAC tie-in etc. Close the door for zoom calls - pretty miserable.

Work from home has been great though.
"SBOM" almost always refers to Service Bill of Materials in my experience. So not even the acronym would stand out in this usage.
> Okay, but if an office is so cold that people are putting scarves and jackets on, that’s a problem. It’s also a huge waste of energy.

Depends where and when you are! Where I live and in this season cold is saving energy and heating is a huge waste of energy.
Also, you initially asserted that the regulations were strict for any and all cookie usage. The person replying to you provided plenty of evidence to the contrary, and now you’re bringing up incredibly niche edge cases, to what end I’m not sure. I think it would be more productive to just concede that the regulations aren’t as strict as you stated.
"Pornography" is pretty vague, too. Even the U.S. Supreme Court has had difficulty coming up with a coherent definition for that.

Edit: to me (and I suspect most of us) pictures of women breastfeeding infants are not "pornography", but you still hear about such images being banned all the time.
I worked in an office that was cooled to a temperature of 62 F year round. There were no thermostats, the AC was simply on all the time. The solution was to wear jackets (even in August) and run space heaters in the rooms to keep them at a more manageable temperature.
Is there a mechanism to make this transition easier or access folks as like-minded as you? As a technology developer, chatting with technology enthusiasts can be very enlightening as they attempt to understand your technology and figure out the target market.
I have been thinking about building such an environment. I'd also be curious if any exist.
When you find out that one of the biggest investors in tech is the CA teacher pension fund
Yeah, a bit because I'd argue at least 3 of largest stocks in the major indexes are now extremely overvalued -- AAPL, NVDA and TSLA.

Historically AAPL was valued with a PE around to 10-15, but today it's trading with a PE over 30. This alone may not be a huge problem if it wasn't also for the fact AAPL's best growth years are likely behind them and they'll may struggle to continue to justify their valuation.

Over the last few years many stocks have seen significant multiple expansions without similar expansions in the fundamentals. On one hand it could be argued the multiple expansion seen in recent years has been justified given where interest rates are and the pandemic stimulus measures, but regardless of whether what we're seeing is the reflection of economic policy or a market bubble, it's clearly not sustainable.

The risk of course is that inflation starts to run away and the FED need to remove liquidity and raise rates much faster than the market is anticipating. In this scenario we'll see the opposite of what happened in 2020/2021 and stock multiples will drop like a rock. If you're a regular person though without significant amounts invested in the market then the risk to you is that inflation remains hot slowly eroding into your savings, wages and purchasing power. Either way, it's probably not great news and there's probably a reason why CEO's and insiders are selling their stock holdings at record rates.

Tesla had and continues to have enormous amounts of marketing. Loads of articles have been written about them; plenty of press generated. Elon Musk, making grandiose claims about self driving gets repeated ad nauseam. All this is marketing.
That is a very interesting point You bring up. I have not looked into Amazon stock value changes resulting from the warehouse destruction.

I shamefully must admit that I have become so desensitized to disaster that the tornadoes have not had the impact on me they would have had just a few short years ago.

The fact that my focus is on the state of the economy rather than the tragedy of my fellow man is something that is going to make me self evaluate my priorities.
> more an attempt to assign power to marginalised and persecuted groups

More likely to self-appointed and loud people claiming to advocate for said groups.
Putting on more clothes would be great, but women's established dress codes in offices often have way more exposed skin than men's dress codes: Skirts lead to exposed legs and blouses lead to exposed arms. So it's very hard to put on clothes and still appear professional.

The game is equally rigged against men cooling down, as many offices also have formal or informal rules against men wearing short trousers and T-shirts.
So how do you determine that education is overfunded. In the US budget education spending was just over 10% of military spending in 2016 [1 ]. So if education is overfunded what is military spending?

Traditionally, "business culture" has required men to wear jackets (or similarly heavy garments). The thermostat can't go up until we're allowed to take them off. It's a problem, but there's a necessary order of operations at play.
Huh, if anything the common argument is that POST is not idempotent by default (and thus isn't cached, needs consideration on automatic retries on errors (e.g. browsers will ask you if you want to send again, proxies can't auto-repeat it), ...), and then lots of advice how to structure your APIs so it is. Because spec very clearly doesn't guarantee it to be idempotent, but you can of course implement your specific application so it uses it in an idempotent way.
Oh, 100% agree on that point :D
> Why are we not all using some sort of outbound firewall for our apps? Is there something fundamental (other than the administration of it) that stops it being the standard, or even possible?

Black hole routing is often used in some more regulated industries (finance):

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_(networking)

There's overhead in setting up proxies and telling all software to use them (browsers can be somewhat automated with proxy auto-config (PAC) files). You could of course just use this technique on your server infrastructure.

But it's a 'non-standard' configuration in a world where everything assumes universal connectivity to everything else.

One interesting idea I've seen mentioned it running a firewall on the system itself on a per-UID basis:

* https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/block-outgoing-network-access...

So if your have a "www-data" UID that runs the web server, you set up iptables to allow it to answer incoming connections and produce replies, but not generate new connections.

> A web server mostly accepts connections but usually only needs to initiate very few connections itself. Therefore it makes sense to limit the possible outgoing connections to what is actually needed. This makes it much more difficult for an attacker to do harm once he has exploited some web application.

* https://wiki.debian.org/Apache/Hardening#Restrict_outgoing_c...

So if you are compromised with attack code, one of the first things it tends to do is fetch some more advanced code to start rummaging through your system(s): that fetch is potentially blocked because it's a new connection to the malware hosting server (or the C&C server).
You're not. The FED injects money into the banking system to prop up financial markets and lending activity (but mostly to other institutions - banks, business, wealthy clients - not people). Very little of that ends up in the average Joe's pocket.

It's been wonderful for shareholders. Everyone else gets to suffer from the ensuing inflation.
If you're actually really legally required to answer them, just write some generic text. Probably spam or some weird research, but better safe than sorry. And then you'll have a cool text if a real user happens to have concerns around CCPA
> the prefix-[] are kinda weird (just way too used to C/C++'s postfix array notation)

I think over time the C/C++ way is going to go the way of the dodo; IIRC, rust and go both use the prefix-[]. It creates a clear, unambiguous way of defining the type (no "spiral typing" jokes for the modern languages).
Somewhat related, I had an older Asus core 2 board, that would accept 16gb of ram, but would only work on 64 bit OS's. However, even with a 64 bit OS, the onboard NIC would fail to work. So I added a NIC to the PCI bus, and it also wouldn't work. I could only get a USB dongle NIC to work. Really weird, and never solved why it was doing this.

"Intelligence" is a somewhat nebulous term and people can disagree on what counts as intelligence. IQ measures something that is important for both education and life outcomes, though.
We need a FSF type organization for cannabis strains. It could very quickly turn into an anti-consumer design space.

Newer Java versions disable deserialization of remote classes via LDAP. You're still vulnerable to deserialization of existing classes, but to exploit that there have to be exploitable classes on the classpath already.

Ask HN: Best Way to Contact YouTube
I woke up this morning to an email from YouTube stating that my channel is banned for repeated violations. They didn’t specify what I violated but it could be anything from copyright to hate speech.

Let me explain the content of all 5 videos on my 11 year + old channel.

1) a video of a squirrel that carried half a loaf of French bread along a fence and jumped into a tree. He dropped the bread during the jump but somehow managed to one hand/paw catch the bread and save it.

2) a friend of mine who was unable to ride a spring horse on a playground.

3)my son reacting to a scene from the movie hot rod(cool beans) this was a private video.

4) music video of my own music. No samples or other copyrighted material contained.
5) another music video also with no copyrighted material.

I submitted a request to the YouTube forum but I suspect that is a black hole where support requests go to die.

I’m not really all that upset and I have all the videos that are on the channel locally but the 1 strike you are banned seems awfully extreme. The fact that I wasn’t told that something was flagged or given any sort of heads up is really what bothers me. How can I get YouTubes attention?
Your reaction is in line with this speculation about reactions from the article: "On today’s modern web it sounds like advice from a tinfoil-hat wearing conspiracy nut."

Your post doesn't address any details from the article; it reads like a gut reaction.
Log4j2 uses some JVM features to resolve some addresses, and these features can end up blindly loading external classes in the affected JVMs.

Note that non-affected JVMs are still vulnerable to other issues triggered by that resolution process, just not as bad as loading untrusted remote objects. So you should upgrade log4j2 even if you use a non-vulnerable JVM.
The screenshots are to show that that link is processed by log4j, because it exploits a log4j vulnerability and gets it to make a dns call, right?
Google somehow and somewhat stayed true to its motto "Don't be evil" and shut down their censored Chinese Google Search project but Apple is straight out evil and dancing with the devil.
It’s trivial, just set up your firewall correctly! But if the system works when you block all outbound connections it’s also trivial to describe the required outbound connections: none.

The problem is of course with the 99% of apps that do require some outbound connections.
Tech Workers Arm Themselves with Salary Data
Relative to Linux desktop stuff in 2008, it’s not terrible. This stuff was never completed either so of course there’s obviously stuff that needs to be cleaned up. For its time and place it was decent.
Yeah, I presumed the only sensible reading of that sentence was "don't use sarcasm and jokes, as sarcasm and jokes are things that can be misinterpreted".

Don't get me wrong - I understand that with an international community, sarcasm can be problematic. For example, the ruby community had lots of "fun" just over a month ago with a joke on a mailing list intended to be poking fun at traditional chivalry, that many mistook to be sexist. Then further jokers submitted pull requests changing the CoC wording in humorous ways that looked fine to non-native eyes, claiming those changes would fix the problem, and so the maintainers accepted those changes, until the sarcasm was pointed out clearly. It was pretty embarrassing for all involved.

Is the only solution to ban all jokes and all sarcasm? I don't think so. But as a sarcastic pr*k at heart, I may well be biased. I certainly don't think you should lose access to all your email over it though.
I think another problem is that there's no way, as far as I know, to disallow an app that doesn't stick to those guidelines. I mean, maybe the Gnome default applications can strictly stick to those, but what how do you ensure that third-party apps stick to the guidelines?

Apple seems to have solved this with a combination of big community of enthusiasts and an App Store for macOS, and just the App Store for iOS. A major fear of Apple developers seems to be the prospect of their App being removed from the App Store for unclear reasons.

It's hard to imagine a model where apps can remain FOSS but have the same sort of strict design guidelines.

On the topic of NFTs, most naysayers don’t like how much energy it takes to mint just one on the most popular blockchain for NFTs right now, Ethereum.

With blockchains like Tezos and Solana, the energy output from minting an NFT collection of let’s say a few thousand, is equivalent to using an in-window AC unit for eight hours…drastically better than Ethereum but like we’ve established, most people aren’t looking past the surface with their complaints/distaste.
> Hacker News has the invisible feature that it is very very fast

This is so important. The funniest part to me is that many companies I've worked at talk a big game about performance and speed being important to what we're building. But then every decision that gets made slows it down more and more.

It's like no one knows how to make fast software anymore. Or maybe it's just a problem that plagues web applications.

Probably the latter, honestly.

Methodology: count the number of tweets complaining about the office temperature. It could be possible that one gender is more likely to tweet about their physical discomfort in the office.
