That sounds like it should work, yeah. USB-C alternate modes should work over any TB3 cable (as far as I know). That's weird.
> In a worst case, this part of Thwaites could triple in speed, increasing the glacier’s contribution to global sea level in the short term to 5%, Pettit says.

...

> A collapse of the entire glacier, which some researchers think is only centuries away, would raise global sea level by 65 centimeters. And because Thwaites occupies a deep basin into which neighboring glaciers would flow, its demise could eventually lead to the loss of the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which locks up 3.3 meters of global sea level rise.

So, in the short term this isn't an immediate danger to anyone. In the long term it is, but the trouble with long-term problems is that it's hard to get the political will do do anything. (That's assuming that anything can be done to stop it at this point.)

On the other hand: maybe it's just my imagination, but it seems like climate predictions are getting worse and catastrophes are approaching faster than just the normal passage of time would suggest. Maybe "only centuries away" will be revised down to "only a century away" and then "only decades away" as more information becomes available.

You’ve got to pick your battles. We live in a chemical world, there are few places you can go to avoid breathing or ingesting ‘something’ that will cause cancer down the line.

I like nuclear and the potential is there to do it safely - pebble, molten salt, thorium, etc.. the problem is they stopped innovating and left off with risky boiling water reactors which over a lifetime are failure prone without impeccable maintenance.

Develop fail safe technology and then go for it. Only first world countries have to know how to really operate these things today and a country’s status isn’t guaranteed over the long term either.
A car that just works without any modern features is Lada Niva 4x4, those are really old school but some people like it that way.

Ah fuck. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck. I mean. Fuck.

What can an individual do these days? I attempted to do my bit, I bought a e-car, I recycle, I try to write efficient code.. But the world my kid is getting is fucked, and while it'll impact me, nothing like what he's in for if I use a bit of imagination....

I sort of hope he doesn't have children, I'm already kinda depressed thinking about the kind of life mine will have, thinking about his, yeeeee. Maybe I'm just too much doom and gloom but..

Fuck, it's looking dark.

Is there really any hope? Can we stop ourselves, as we say in scotland, from "fucking it into a tree" ?

With leaders like Boris, Trump/Biden, Xi and co, Apparently we can't..
I'm one of those people and I'm still scratching my head at this statement.
This is strange to me. I feel like I am very cynical about the business, but I have almost no ill will toward other programmers or their approaches at all. For me the issue is looking up the managemet chain, or outside at the effects of my changes.

I can safely say that I have never as a programmer implemented a feature that I thought made anyone's life better. My software has consistently turned the screws in on people's lives, either in their work life by making monotonous internal tools or in their personal life by removing autonomy and choice. I take magicians and turn them into mechanical Turks. I take people and turn them into consumers/users/addicts.

This isn't supposed to be a diatribe, just contributing my N=1 that Notes from the Magic Bus seems cute and superficial to me, defending the culture of office politics by elevating it to the importance of actual politics.
I didn't even think to try and do such with uBlock, and this precompiled list gives me all the more reason to do so. Thank you!

Not just that, it saves having another browser extension to trust. A large number of the sites I get to are through search results. A malicious extension that has access to modify search results could do a lot of damage.

Hell, I know people who get to their bank and other sensitive sites by typing the name of the institution into Google, rather than typing the URL. Being able to modify search results would be great for phishing.

Read Chomsky.

This stuff, at its heart, imo, is very meta -- as in, how the world actually works.

He often refers to what he considers to be good books -- there are lists online -- not sure if they are accurate or not -- but those books often drill down on various more specific topics, like "the investment theory of politics".

If you're American, you will probably end up super depressed for a couple weeks.

But I feel like understanding how the world works is a kind of foundation for everything else.

Science and biology and all that is important and even more fundamental, but Chomsky stuff attacks all of your core assumptions even about those things.

Like, I read his opinion on how he was shitting all over gpt-3 or something -- not for the reasons you might think. That happens to be a nerdy topic that might show up here on HN, but of course crosses over into ai, and language / thought / human nature stuff.

So if you've ever had an aha or whoa-type moment -- while reading or being in a new situation, like your first trip overseas, there tends to be a lot of that.

So it's not always new info, but new and more accurate ways to understand what you already knew -- or thought you already knew.
This is almost a real life version of the Bottle Imp paradox:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bottle_Imp
You’re flogging the abstraction known as English.

None of these philosophers old works need to be given any weight and working with you to decipher your personal beliefs is not my problem.

The abstractions of physics and biology provide the evidence necessary given the context.

Perhaps sit and ruminate as you wish. Those dead men have no capture of my perception. Paulo Freire said we have no obligation to import the jargon and implied behavior of our captors; I won’t submit to Christian rule; why rich mens dollars? The political capture of our economic behavior is a cudgel I’m tired of being bashed with, and the measurable effects are where I’ll put my effort.

If you prefer to equivocate them away with deference to endless semantic recitation, that’s fine, because I know that means you won’t be in the “real” way. You’ll be here proselytizing others just how none of the effort is going how it should.
My main issue is that text that goes across the entire screen is less readable. It's much easier to lose your place in the text like this.
>you prop up that predator's existence by feeding it

... and constrain its population by neutering it, and reduce its hunting behavior by keeping it inside most of the time.

Cats are native to North America. Animals in North America have evolved to avoid cats. This is not some island in the Pacific Ocean which forms the only habitat for a rare flightless bird with no natural fear of felines.

I live in a dense suburb of Providence which is surrounded by roads and buildings for miles in every direction. There are cats running all over the neighborhood, which is very cute and fun to watch. I do not own a cat and never have.

You know what else this place is full of? Squirrels, rabbits, and several colors of loud-ass birds. Apparently the cats aren't quite the slaughter machines they're made out to be.

Now, I would absolutely agree that if you live in a "wild" rural area, especially in or near a wetland/high altitude/island ecosystem, you need to keep the cats inside. But in a city, full of animals that have co-evolved with humans and their pets for centuries and in some cases millenia? Give me a break.
Biden unveils plan to build 500k EV charging stations across the U.S.
You’re absolutely right that milk dumping, corn syrup, biodiesel are examples of waste, but they are market choices. Overproduction assures supply and keeps food prices low. It’s terrible for all sorts of other reasons; I just find it curious that you are lumping all these issues in with your objection about agricultural research. Ag is a huge field and industry. They’re not all the same problem.
Part of an industry wide effort to replace the term "blacklist" due to connotations.
*sh is only ergonomic if you're using it insecurely. wait, even then it's not ergonomic. you're just insane. the day i figured out about python repl over 10 years ago, i realized *sh is utterly obsolete (and python isn't even good, a repl like that just gives you some perspective of how things could be).
The problem has to do with the order of values which is evinced by our economic activity. Ideally, money should be ordered towards facilitating the exchange of real things, which are in turn ordered towards a good life, and so on to higher meaning beyond that, but that is not what is transpiring. We can see this not only in the huge tranches of the economy devoted to trivial or deceptive things, but also in routine decisions: be they irresponsible, greedy personal choices, or larger organizational habits which have devastated human communities and the environment for the sake of making a number in a spreadsheet go up.
Further, this takes the form of a novel crisis in that the scale and speed at which the consequences keep coming are without precedent among societies with similar vices in the past.

Thank you. It means so much to me that someone smart on the Internet read what I have to say and finally found someone expressing similar non-mainstream views.

This reminds me of the old Roman concrete. It actually gets stronger when exposed to moisture. So far as I know, no modern concrete matches it for long term durability.
What kind of ecosystem are you operating in outside of macOS? If you're operating in a Linux monoculture, I'm sure your experience is quite realistic, but historically, there were several different sed's (of which the fact that macOS uses BSD sed by default is a reminder), several awks, several bourne-like shells (some of which still exist, optimized for either better interactivity or smaller footprint).
Ah, a prime example of the infamous Bulgarian pessimism. Let me counter with some positive stuff:

1. For the first time in 10+ years the Bulgarian IT community is represented. To add to that, it's represented in both parliament and government. This is a huge change on its own.

2. For the first time in 10+ years there are new faces and young people (20 and 30-somethings) in the parliament and the government. Yes, this includes among many others, TV stars, musicians, artists. They are representing the people who voted for them and that I find is positive.

3. Fixing the broken e-gov, or starting anew, is indeed a hard task. That is why the local IT community needs to be positive and helpful. It's for the best of everyone and an important prerequisite to reducing corruption. This includes both administrative corruption (by reducing the number of people on administrative positions) and political corruption (by providing transparency through easing access to data and fostering public involvement in policymaking).
I think most people that are overly fond of Windows 98 did not live through/experience the Windows 3.11 to Windows 95 transition. I just remember Windows 98 as bundling in some features that were only available with Microsoft Plus! such as active content on the desktop and heavier marketing of associated web-related tech/apps.
Since this amounts to handing over the password to a wallet, what guarantee does the recipient of the wallet have that they are now the exclusive holder of that password?

You could easily have retained access yourself, so after you walk away you can yank the funds out of it.

Or you could hand out access to the same wallet to a half dozen people.

Without actually transferring the funds to a wallet you know you exclusively control, you have no way to know that you've actually received anything of value.
Here's an idea to make a cash gift more fun. If I know a family member is trying to save up for something they want (that is either too pricey or too personalized to buy as a gift outright), I'll fold up some cash (origami style - sometimes with tape) in the shape of that item and send that as a gift to contribute to the purchase of the item.

It shows you put some thought into the gift, while leaving them free to spend the money where and however they want. And carefully unfolding it all is a bit of payback for the creative wrapping some siblings like to do :)

Most condominiums built today using concrete-rebar construction will be torn down in the same timeframe. Concrete rebar has a lifetime of about 100 years, even when properly maintained.

But nobody buying a condo today looks at what the resale value will be in 50 years.
To expand a bit on that for the curious, kintsugi is written as 金継ぎ. 金 is "gold" (the "kin" in kintsugi), so I replaced the "gold" part with the "cyanoacrylate" part, and glued it to the 継ぎ ending. Katakana (the symbols used for シアノアクリレート) is often used for foreign words. 金 and 継 are kanjis, characters that comes from China. They usually have different pronunciations depending on if they are alone or part of a word. ぎ is an hiragana, the hiragana for "gi". Hiragana and katakana are syllabaries that are mostly equivalent. ぎ in katakana would be ギ, and シアノアクリレート in hiragana would be しあのあくりれっと.

Support legislations to tariffs imports and apply immigration quotas from countries that are not doing their part for the environment (emissions going up instead of down).

Recycling might not be as great as you think. 90%+ of the plastic in the oceans are coming directly from Asian rivers and countries that buy "raw" plastic from western countries in order to "recycle" it.
How many years though? How many years?

I mean, the way we're going now, an end is inevitable, but it always was.

But, are the number of years within the parameters that we, or I expected? Who knows, some of us are more optimistic about the future, and others less so.
Non-creative name: "SearchDenylist"

Reasons:

* I think of the "u" prefix in this narrow technology niche (browser-based filtering) as almost a trademark of the great project now called "uBlock Origin".

* "Blacklist" isn't a term to be making new uses of in the US. (Given ongoing history of racial injustices, and how the terms "blacklist" and "whitelist" have been used in our field to designate "bad" and "good", respectively. Someone can try to argue the etymology, but we're beyond etymology in connotations of the terms now, and it's just insensitive to insist on saying "black" to mean "bad".)

Cool? And I wouldn't recommend them this article that suggests they seek therapy & deal with their latent toxic masculinity.
OP here, if you're able to separate the act of "look behind the curtain" from the visceral feeling that things can change and you can be the one improving them - then I'm very happy for you.

I personally found it hard to separate the two for many year, and fell in the pattern of unifying them. Cynical outlook has been a helpful protecting mechanism, though no longer as useful, as I'm trying to find and play more win-win games.
We use both appcenter.ms and the internal test track features of the Play Store. On boarding an external user into appcenter takes a few more emails/clicks but they both accomplish similar use cases for us.

Another part of the word cynic:

For the Cynics, the purpose of life is to live in virtue, in agreement with nature. As reasoning creatures, people can gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which is natural for themselves, rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, and fame, and even flouting conventions openly and derisively in public. Instead, they were to lead a simple life free from all possessions.

Let me describe my experience with contacting youtube. An ad popped up, prompting me to subscribe to the family plan, and since I was getting fed up for a while, I went with it. Surprise, my wife and my daughter couldn't join, for whatever mystic reasons yt considered.
I contacted YT via chat support. While the technology behind their support bots has evolved a lot, they even simulate passing you from one support rep to another, and they show even empathy towards your issues, they aren't able to solve anything. So, about two days lost in training YT bots for me, and stuck with family plan without being able to add my family. Great experience, and pleasant waste of time chatting :))))
The internet (well, just worldwide connectivity IMO) has turned cynicism into a social signaling mechanism, it's not just HN. Cynical "dunks" burnish your qualifications to your in-group: make a "hot take" against US democrats, CRT, cryptocurrencies, management, VCs, capitalism, pastafarianism, you name it, and you'll get all your fellow in-group folks upvoting/retweeting/liking your "hot take". IMO this is the greatest threat of all; once group-identity politics are tied to takedowns, there's a huge incentive for dunking on ideas, which makes folks with new/weird ideas defensive about their own and therefore damages novel discourse. I'm not going to say I haven't been drawn into this myself at times but I try to think above it.
Along those lines, my mother in law rolled up two dollar bills in a tin can. We were spending the bills all over town. They are rare enough that some places wondered if they were real. Your bank can probably get you as many as you need.

Papers qua papers aren't the goal. The idea is to advance our collective understanding of a field. Papers are certainly a means to that end, but other things can too, like code, videos, and blogposts, even if they don't fit into the "6000 words and 6 figures" box.

I get that citations and citation metrics feel objective, but they emphatically aren't great measures of research/researcher "quality".
