I think the real long term solution involves compromise from both extreme sides of the climate change debate. I’ll call them left and right here but that’s a vast oversimplification.

Right: Climate change deniers will have to acknowledge that regardless of the uncertainties of current climate projections, we are polluting the Earth with CO2, and much more. In the long term this is not sustainable. They will also have to accept that current market forces do not “price in” negative externalities of CO2 pollution. Part of the solution is to change current market dynamics so that the negative effects of pollution are reflected in prices.

Left: Climate doomers have to compromise and accept that the world will not end if we hit 2-4 degrees of global warming. The exact range is debatable, but the underlying principle is that some degree of climate change and/or CO2 pollution is acceptable and perhaps even considered desirable as a trade off for economic growth. Worst case scenarios are just that - a tail scenario that is unlikely to occur.

Both sides: Changing human behaviour is the most difficult solution. There are billions of people on this planet that live in hardship and never got to experience economic prosperity driven by fossil fuels and pollution without consequence. Arguably, Western Europe and North America benefited the most. Hence these countries should lead the way in developing technology that reduces human impact on the planet.

I think it’s hypocritical for developed countries to attempt to force developing countries into binding pacts to reduce CO2 pollution. If we want other countries to pollute less, we need to drive down the cost of sustainable energy sources such that the other countries will rationally adopt them.

Practically, this means we should be investing 10x in nuclear fission, fusion, battery tech, wind, solar, and unknown moonshot energy methods. We should keep investing until we have an energy advantage over those who do pollute. When that happens, keep investing even more!
Agreed, this is exhausting.
All of these "best language to learn" pieces ignore a basic question: for what purpose? If your goal is to make money as a programmer then you need to find out what languages are in demand in your locality or by companies hiring remote workers. What is in demand in Silicon Valley won't necessarily be what's in demand in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Alternatively, if you goal is to learn computer science for the sake of abstract knowledge, or if you want to get into cyber-security at a very deep level these reasons for learning point in different directions.

Absent all other qualifications I stick to the same advice I gave 12 years ago: learn JavaScript. If/when you get to a point that you need to do more than JavaScript allows you will have developed sufficient context around your needs that you won't need anyone to tell you what language to learn next: you'll already know.
What are you talking about?? We completely understand aircraft lift. Bernoulli's principal is a nearly irrelevant footnote that gives a small boost to efficiency.

Aircraft lift is caused by the upward angle of the wings forcing air downwards as the jets move the plane horizontally forwards. This "angle of attack" is usually very small so it's hard to perceive with the naked eye when looking at a commercial aircraft.

id Software has a history of releasing the source code to their engines ~4 years after their initial commercial release:

Doom released in 1993, its engine was open-sourced in 1997 (4 years).

Quake released in 1996, its engine was OSS'd in 1999 (3 years).

Quake II released in 1997, OSS'd in 2001 (4 years).

Quake III released in 1999, OSS'd in 2005 (6 years).

Sure, in most those cases they were at least 2 generations of their own tech ahead when releasing source code, but considering how they were at the cutting edge of game development at the time, arguably those engines still held considerable value at the time and far from worthless.
What is the basis for this assertion? I believe the opposite is true - older politicians overhwlmingly cause a mess because they are stuck in their old ways

Kennedy was 46 years old during Cuban missile crisis, he has shown restraint when many generals, significanlty older than him, advocated use of force and likely would cause a global nuclear war.

Today young people overwhelmingly show the will to deal with climate change, and older generation overwhelmingly wants to continue to ignore it.
This reminds me of the purge of professors who did not support World War I in the US, as well as the US purge of scientists who did not support the Korean War 15 years after this.

TLDR:

associate a VIOP number with your google sphere, so when it happens, file an FCC complaint re undue termination of telephonic service.

it seems this was the only thing that elicited a proper response.
reading the article and google response to FCC complaint makes it evident, that google is full of it as far as "we cant do anything about it" is concerned.

the only problem i see is that it seems the complaint was dropped or left orphan, rather than followed up on. thats why google keeps on doing it because there are no real consequences other than being told to Give it Back.

it reminds me of when one kid swipes a toy out of anothers hands and keeps doing it because there is no real deterrent in play.

dont drop your FCC complaint, follow up on it.
Exactly, people call it "rainy" when it may not technically be raining.

Seattle has a very distinctive weather pattern, and it does NOT burn off like morning fog in other cities, even though it has some similarities to heavy fog.
Thanks! don't hesitate to dm me if you have any suggestion or question :)
Ohioans know.

I grew up a few miles away from the Ravenna Arsenal in Northeast Ohio. The reason that I always heard for the military choosing that location to store munitions in World War II was because it had as much cloud cover year-round as pretty much any place in the nation. (Bombers and spy planes like to have clear days.) If you're looking for a place that is very wet but not on the ocean, the Great Lakes are where you want to be.

> Watching the sunset at 4pm while you're still stuck in an office is brutal. Much of the winter you'll wake up in darkness, go to work, and come home in darkness.

This is orthogonal to the cloudiness issue, and is the norm in most northern cities. At least it's not cold in Seattle.
OpenVPN supports compression, and Private Internet Access used to enable it by default. I don't know if they do with Wireguard (now default). I also don't know if most bandwidth testers use TLS. I would actually assume not since it would add a lot of CPU on high bandwidth tests for not a lot of benefit. At any rate, at the time I noticed such was before using https had become nearly as widespread.
It's all good. I'm just poking fun at the name of the binary but it doesn't seem to get across. macOS 11 and above is not "OS X". OS X is OS 10. The X is Roman numeral for the version number 10.

There's no real issue, sorry for the confusion and good luck with your project!
Is there something better? Seems like pendulum swings the opposite way once it reaches western democracy.
I wonder whether it's a software or hardware problem? Let's say you have the thunderbolt connector, shouldn't all those supported standards (esp. the usb) then just be software problems? This does not make it easier for apples side, it might still be a huge undertaking, but then it would be upgradable in principle.

Won’t ever come from Epic. Think with Fortnite their future has to be these mass multiplayer half social experiences where their advantage is just the speed they can ship content to it. It’s pretty impressive technically.

But if you want games like old school Unreal I suggest you google “Boomer Shooters” where there are a lot of indie FPS games now that imitate that era.
It is a bit strange. But it could be something as simple as a provision in the contract with the publishers that they not release info on any textbooks that are rejected.
As the industrial heartland of Spain, a lot of non-Catalans live in Catalunya. They don't want to suddenly find themselves in a foreign country. That's not "the people in power" - that's ordinary people.

There's quite a lot of nationalism in Spanish politics; when Franco died, there was no proper national reconciliation. Catalunya suffered quite badly in the Civil War and afterwards, and there should have been something like the SA Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Instead, they restored the monarchy, which was, as you'd expect, nationalist.
That's a plausible scenario but I assume the FBI has good reason to suspect NK otherwise we assume they attribute all big hacks to them.
This is so smart, I wish someone would have thought about this a long time ago!

Joking aside - making good privacy laws is not an easy task. “privacy” is not even easy to define, much less create fair laws around what will likely be an imperfect definition.

Then lets hear some actual concerns.

All this is just a disingenuous "the industry can't develop because the supporting infrastructure isn't there", while if you look at their actions, they've been building the supporting infrastructure along with the developing industry.

It looks like disingenuous FUD because it seems like the market is saying they've bet on the wrong kind of infrastructure.
> Three decades ago, such a move would have been an eyebrow raising 2 to 5 minute news story on the evening news.

Not because of some unique effect of social media; race in education has been that kind of culture war centerpiece for a long time; it was more than 25 years ago that a major national controversy erupted because of a single local school board decision on recognizing African American English as a distinct source language that students come with and which impacts teaching of Standard American English.

(It's true that decisions to impose a racist view of American society by the same faction that has pushed anti-CRT policies in the states where they have recently passed anti-CRT laws wouldn't be news, but that's more the same shift of the center on educational content that the anti-CRT movement is part of the response to than anything about social media.)
I used to use separate emails for orders, newsletters, etc. But what I found was that the separate email effectively became a dev/null. Gmail does a good enough job of filtering and tagging that I get a mostly clean primary inbox without effectively trashing everything else that I might want to look at once in a while, e.g. reservation confirmations.
Right answer. (There are some other new interesting protocols on the horizon too MARS, PRISM)
* I get a lot of spam calls on my mobile, but they're easy to avoid because I rarely talk to anybody on the phone to begin with.

* I get the odd text spam message which is annoying

* I get very little spam email all the way into my inbox, and rarely see false positives (and then typically marginal messages)

Overall my spam situation is better than ever, but I'm super-aware of the risk and impact on people like my elderly parents who still have a land line and are not as familiar with the standard scams as others.
I almost bought one of those 25k Primes, but the dealer bundled it with $6k worth of heavily overpriced dealer accessories, $2k for some kind of A/C enhancement that gets you "2-6mpg more!" that sounded very much like snake oil and then added another $5k "market adjustment" line item. I bought a Model Y instead.
The dude has a point, if offices have an age minimum, I'd argue they should have a maximum as well. IMHO nobody over the age of 70 should be in high ranking public office. Heck the average age in the senate is 63. Is there any wonder that our government is out of touch?
Yes, that's fair. But the reason that list exists is because it is legal to cold call. Having an opt-out is much weaker than an opt-in. It sounds like the German system is opt-in (per company).
I would say this is one of the primary use cases for a decentralized currency, from the perspective of avoiding sanctions as an economically isolated country. I've also seen an argument from Ukrainian activists who are using crypto when Russia froze their bank accounts.
The article actually mentions what you're talking about. A mist that keeps things moist almost year-round rather than bouts of strong rain.
>Actually, if you put them all on an effective weightlifting and diet program, they'd still decline

The point is the baseline will increase. Someone who strength trains seriously could easily be at least twice as strong at age 40 as somebody without any training. Even if they unavoidably lose 50% of their strength over the next 20 years, that just means at age 60 they'll have the same strength level as a 40 year old who never strength trained (and twice the strength of a 60 year old who never trained, assuming it decays linearly).
Make a new one.
The intelligence agencies are holding the country hostage.
The total amount of rain really isn't important to human perception, save perhaps flooding. One day where you get ten inches of rain vs the same ten inches spread over 100 days - people will say the second is "rainy" and the first not.
Their scam is already wildly popular, no need to get even greedier.
When I moved from the UK to USA it was the same in reverse. I had just got a new phone and number and immediately started getting spam calls and texts. I asked my colleagues how I could report or block these and they didn't really have an answer. OFCOM in the UK largely deals with spam and when I've had spam it's usually been that it comes from outside the UK but will still eventually get blocked
> Blogging on Twitter is preferable to "not blogging at all" and "blogging on an obscure domain that almost nobody ever discovers".

Short blurb in tweet with link to actual content? You know, like they used to do?

> Consume the content with threadreaderapp if you don't like the UI or use Nitter if you don't want to log in to Twitter.

Or perhaps, people should choose the correct medium to begin with? To me, you might as well be saying I should do X because someone else is trying to hold a "video conference" with me via snail mail and photos.
I had never looked at memcached's source code prior to thinking of the question, but we did try it out before (and measure the time) before administering it for the first time.

1. If we're talking about desktops systems, privesc is trivial in either OS. In Linux you can do a million things to privesc, such as snooping passwords via X11, modifying the various user files like ~/.bashrc with aliases, etc. On Windows UAC isn't even intended to be a barrier.

2. If we're talking about servers, I'm not sure that Windows is 10:1 worse on privescs.
> Giving me a billion dollars is preferred over terrorist tactics. The argument makes no sense here.

You may not like it but it does make sense - countries have come into existence as a direct result of "terrorism" leading to civil war. Given the demographic breakdown of HN, it is very likely you live in one of those right now. Also remember that Spain struggled with violent separatist movement which was still active well into this century, so it is certainly not outside the realm of possibility.

Assuming the stablecoin doesnt lose its peg (choose a decentralized one), you can get 20 percent yield from staking it.
Elon should buy the US telecom companies and make their spam algorithm open source.
I think it's because two tvs on a wall tell you nothing about the way people spend the rest of their time away from the TV.

The living room hasn't changed. Instead of one person reading and one person on the TV; or one person doing crafts while another reads; two people are on two TVs. Why the moral panic?
You can have arbitrarily many, so long as the serial lanes are independent of each other. PCIe can have lots, for example. Because they are independent, they won't suffer from clockskew problems that made parallel signaling impractical at high speeds and it's often not required to connect all of the wires (e.g. an x16 card hanging out of an x8 or smaller slot) .
I am not sure that is the case, but I know most of them use both Uber and Bolt (a competing app).
it's a great way to upsample under-represented classes

I had a similar belief that ended much the same.
IMO, the Industries DLC makes it strongly about traffic again, with the huge amount of industrial traffic it generates. Then, once you run out of space in the relatively small 9-tile city area, there's not much city painting left to do. It's been a long time since my main city was about city painting; it's all about traffic again.

I worked at a company (Rad AI) and we evaluated another company that made synthetic data for medical companies. Our physician data scientists reviewed the data- it was bad. Really, really bad. We ultimately decided that it would be irresponsible to use it (and would make for a pretty crappy model anyways).

I'm really glad to hear that this company acknowledges how hard that problem is and avoids it. The risk is so high that there is just no value in it.
hahaha. Yeah, the rain in the southeast has some heft to it.
I mean, the whole premise of gig economy is you need to do your homework because you're an independent contractor. A lot of drivers on YouTube will tell you that you have work smart, do your own math, etc.

Obviously the Kalanick incident made news because of how viral the scenario was, but the reality is that there's a lot of variability and for every person complaining that more drivers on the road equate less per-driver demand, there's another five drivers quietly making extra cash after their day jobs.
After interviewing people for a while, I've learned how to suss out what people gain from practicing vs actual engineering instinct

I've passed people who "didn't meet the bar" because I could tell they just didn't practice, but exhibited 4 stars on every "Ultra Instinct" signal. Programming speed isn't important, correctness & habits are what are important. + or - 10 minutes to finish a problem doesn't really matter in the daily job

> And in small cities/towns, getting a taxi was nearly impossible a lot of the times.

Not just small cities. I lived in Las Vegas for many years. Try getting a taxi to take you from the airport to the suburbs at 2am. I got hung up on by two taxi services. When I finally got someone to pick me up, I had to wait 30 mins for them to drop off other fares to the Strip before they would take me.
Russia should say that they will hold US responsible for any attack on its strategic facilities. "google is a private company.." - sure thing..
Gulf South rain is such a different beast from the incessant drizzle the Northwest gets. Southern rain comes in, does its business with a solid downpour, maybe some lightning, and leaves. The skies clear and you get sun. Northwest rain just sits there with an incontinent drizzle and grey skies for days on end.

Make sure you’re getting lots of vitamin D supplements, because you’re not getting the kind of sunshine your body’s used to.
Why? I assume if someone I know calls and doesn't leave a message, I figure they just wanted to chat if I was available but don't have anything urgent. Leaving a voicemail just wastes both of our time. And Caller ID tells me they called.
I wonder how strong of a signal that is for a good engineer. There have always been people who've stood out as wanting to teach, wanting to mentor. Is it too much of my own bias to say that good engineers are good teachers?

This is a pretty good way of describing what C programming is like: "It's not just that there are a lot of details in the C standard. It's written in terms of abstractions. Instead of telling you what the program means, it tells you what the program is permitted to mean."
I find it hard to believe any article that describes taxi services as "efficient but undercapitalizes". Does the author remember the experience of trying to find a cab if you weren't in a downtown area already?
The vulnerability in hh.exe is already well known and documented by the LOLBAS project [0]. My team and I (Adversary Simulation at IBM X-Force Red) conduct stealth-oriented red team security assessments and we use vulnerabilities like this to do our jobs every day - just as any red team worth its salt would. Capabilities like this are built into all kinds of tools that are installed by default on Windows. They are often essential to obtaining code or command execution on hosts through social engineering or post-exploitation when moving laterally between hosts.

This is just speculation, but the privesc vulnerability might be related to memory allocation in the DLL used to integrate with the system shell context menu - i.e. right clicking on a file. Just a guess based on the mention of a heap overflow.

The right has successfully made calling out racism to be a bad thing these days. Feels like the right is currently enjoying a complete victory in talking points and memes. The left has been completely marginalized in the political vocabulary. Discussions like this Musk thing happen completely within right wing framing of the issues.
