Ah no. Maybe I'm just stupid, so please explain to me how all the European countries that are so united in solidatary with Ukraine can square the round hole of also paying Russia vast sums of money for energy?
Great! Very clear. This should be the TL;DR... or the dense formulation of the dense encoding ;-)

... I do a lot of outdoors stuff (hiking, climbing, mountaineering) which takes me outside of cell coverage, and mostly occupies my hands & attention.

Other people just do regular sports, closer to home... Cycling, tennis, basketball, soccer, whatever. Any decent sized town or city should have some kind of options.

Indoors, I like craft skills that require your hands & attention... I give myself a bit of repairing climbing/hiking gear, assorted home improvement projects, etc.

The point is, this is all stuff that intrinsically feels good, so it's rewarding on its own. I think the best choices also have a social option, so you can connect with people, at the same time.
Not sure but maybe it is a "sound signature" thing. IE it might be possible to automate matching a car based on exhaust noise. But not for a song on the stereo.
This reminds me of something I read in Discover magazine around 20 years ago.

The gist of it was that immigrants in western Europe from various countries in Africa had developed nutritional deficiencies after immigrating. It appeared their diets were the same, perhaps better on paper, so it wasn't clear why their health was deteriorating.

It turned out that these people had diets rich in unwashed greens and vegetables, and they were likely consuming far more beneficial bacteria, insects, and minerals in their diets. They continued their mostly-vegetarian diets in Europe, but were no longer benefitting from what tended to accompany their foods before.

Not sure why I remember that. Regardless, we should all be eating dirt and weevils.
Yes, give Russia another weapon (in addition to gas used to influence decision makers in much of Europe) to wield upon the world.
Totally understandable. I'm a trackpoint junkie, but I also could not get to using it on an HP laptop from work. It felt completely gimped (and yes, having just 2 buttons was probably a part of it).

Yes, he's been an inspiration.

Do you have some examples of the language groups on Slack you're thinking about?

We did crawl all of github to provide github issues but probably need more signals maybe stars/forks/most recent commit dates to rank them better...

I don't find it convincing to switch to a slower alternative.
Poured concrete actually is a passive remover! The issue is the process of baking carbonate rocks at high temperatures to form the cement. This not only takes a lot of energy, but it inherently drives off CO2 from the rock. Over the decades as concrete slowly gets stronger and stronger it absorbs back a small but substantial fraction of the CO2 it emitted.

The way to make this better is to be able to have mixes with lower fractions of cement for a similar level of strength - hence using graphene in this case.

This is actually traditional venture for real technology. The only companies with customer before the series A are variations of websites and apps, a narrow slice of the tech sector.
I had a different approach but only for personal projects. I used Emacs org-capture to do this as a ToDo. It would remember the file, line and I could schedule a date for it. I used to plan my days using org-agenda and the TODO would show up as a task for the date on which I scheduled it. It would also gather information from emails and other things so on the overall, it was a workable system. No syncing to the outside world and stuff like that though. Also, not very usable in a collaborative environment. Worked very well for personal projects though.

That's an English billion (10^12), given that there are a million square metres to the square km?

Mind you, I wouldn't want to be standing within 18m of where it lands, so either definition of "billion" does make sense.

I haven't seen a study deeply analyzing non-food uses either. I suspect though that while there will indeed be replacement costs they will be less than the costs of continuing the current system.

Michellin apparently already makes "vegan" tyres. Even for cat food, there are already vegan supplements and the science will improve. Beyond Meat being only 2x the price of killed meat is I think quite impressive when you consider how long each industry has had to optimise.

Yes switching from cows to chickens is better with regards to carbon but the problem is it's much worse with regards to animal welfare since many more animals need to be killed per kilo of meat..

There could be an optimal level of meat consumption if you just consider the environment, but it's far below what we're doing now, and given the urgent climate action that's recommended by expert scientists, it seems wise to reduce this consumption as much as possible. We're _far_ more likely to reduce too slowly than too quickly..
> passively learning about each of the devices on your network and tracking them over time that it's foiled the plans of many site operators and nosy organizations looking to do just that.

Again passive learning (i.e. your device just existing and getting scanned) never happens in either scenario as inbound scanning is not possible in home or office in either IPv4 setups or IPv6 and it has nothing to do with where NAT is at play inbound initiated sessions aren't allowed in either case. I.e. just because you send a packet to <IP> does not mean a home or corporate router is going to allow it in, it's going to check if that conversation exists and if not it's going to check if the conversation started from the inside or the outside. If the latter it gets dropped, routability be damned, as it'd be insecure to allow anyone to connect to anything internal just because they sent a packet to that IP. This tracking is done at the L4 level, i.e. just because you opened a TCP session to a server using some high range outbound port doesn't mean that server will be allowed to send a packet back to you on e.g. 22 SSH it only means that specific tuple (ip:port:ip:port) is allowed bidirectionally until the session is closed by either side or times out from inactivity.

I'm not exactly sure which ways IPv6 makes it worse, as mentioned pretty much all devices (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS) use temporary IPs and have for well over a decade. Nobody is tracking individual user clients by IP address alone, be it v4 or v6, they are doing it with the troves of data in the higher layer protocol information where they can identify each device uniquely.

You can dislike IPv6 if you like but you shouldn't just make fear mongering claims of why it's bad for privacy if you don't have enough experience with it to know how it is designed to avoid these very issues.
I used to manage single board computers behind home routers. I tunneled their ssh ports to a beacon vps instance using frp (more stable than autossh) to make a poor man's vpn and connected them all to cockpit. I think at the time the free version only allowed 15 connections, though.
those lockdowns prevented many deaths. It has a cost, but i would imagine that cost is worth it in the initial stages.

And overall, the pandemic was handled acceptably OK (there were a few problems and mistakes, such as the cruise ship ruby princess).

Now most of the population had their vaccination, and re-opened, the spread of covid is starting to be large, but the amount of people getting seriously sick and needing hospital is not that high.

It's pointless trying to bring politics into public health - doing so is a sign of political agenda. Comparing a country's pandemic handling to another's, and using the political system as the argument for efficacy (or lack thereof), is just a means to further one's political ideology and not for furthering public health.
This is a great idea. But I would like my eslint to produce a WARNING, not an ERROR when I have a certain keyword in a comment. Like if I wrote FIXME in a comment I would like it to produce and eslint warning which would let the code compile and reload (in create-react-app let's say) but it wouldn't build in CI because it has a warning. Is there a way to do this with eslint?
I agree with your general sentiment but as a motorcyclist myself, what can I do to ensure that the cars surrounding me (windows up, listening to music, carrying out conversation, probably fiddling with a phone) are aware of my existence without making noise? The greatest threat to responsible motorcyclists are unaware drivers. An electric motorcycle might as well be invisible amongst ordinary traffic.

I mean, there's a name for it, I don't think its a new phenomenon: autogynephilia. If it becomes so severe as to interfere with daily life then I don't think indulgence is an appropriate treatment, any more than I would expect telling a schizophrenic to listen to the voices in their head to be responsible medical practice.

We've gone too far with all of this acceptance stuff, because these modern acceptance movements brush off any criticism, however logical or valid, with accusations of bigotry. If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, then puberty blockers, affirmation treatment, and SRS are premium quality cement.

Edit: hilariously ironic that the wikipedia page for autogynophilia has been deleted from the english wiki, though there is a talk page discussing its restoration[0]...how uncomfortably dystopian. I can only hope that average people are catching onto the games played to justify this irrationality.

> There's likely an optimal level of meat consumption.

Just going to go out on a limb and say the optimal level is probably less than the typical North American or European diet... Societies that are more resource constrained eat a lot less meat.

If history is any indicator, starting a company during or shortly after a recession has yielded some massively successful results. Not only does it crowd out parties that would enter easily during good times, you also have access to incredible talent on the market due to a high supply. Yes, access to capital is definitely more strained, however PG has said that technology progresses more or less independent of the stock market and economic cycles.

All this to say, I’ll probably look to start something. Anyone else down?
Yep. (Still...).
Aren't graphite and graphene different structurally?
tl;dr on why its relevant:

„The reentry of the Kosmos 482 Descent Craft will not be your standard reentry. The Descent Craft was designed to survive entry through the dense atmosphere of Venus. It will therefore likely survive reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere intact and make a crash landing (it is extremely unlikely that the parachute system will still work after more than 50 years in space). This will therefore be a high-interest reentry.“
The eggs don't hatch right away, can take months or years, but most people buy rice to eat right now, not to stockpile, so it's mostly consumed before the weevils hatch. And when they do, it's just a known nuisance, not worth reporting.
The distribution of people is not uniform over the potential impact area, which is, as you mention yourself, not the whole surface of the earth. The error bars on this are too huge even by napkin standards, for this to work as an estimate.
This is how it is at every company. The older developers create the universe new developers need to figure out. ON average newer developers don't perform as well as the older ones. This effect is highly correlated by the complexity of the code base.
It is counterintuitive, which is why it was a learning for me.

The reason to take on debt in a recession is simple; others aren't doing it because it's expensive.

This mass obstension causes investments to appear to lose value, evidenced by dropping market prices.

In reality the investments are just as valuable as before. Only their "marginal" value has dropped. In fact, you may now have access to even MORE valuable investments and opportunities that were out of reach pre-recession.

For example, high performing developers laid off from their $200k/yr positions, now competing with each other for your open $80k/yr position.

Or the opportunity to cannibalize the customers of competitors failing to raise capital or trim their fat quickly enough.

Or foreclosed homes that will double in value as soon as banks find a new way to make lending cheap again.

The list goes on and on.
I suspect the argument is bullshit, but they cannot say "I get a boner when I think about all the people I piss off and there's not a thing they can do about it"
No. That is completely false. We are most certainly not in a recession. Nor did one start in November. You can check the Fed data here and verify you claim is false[1]

The economy is considered to have entered into a recession if it experiences a decline in GDP for two consecutive quarters. And that has not happened. There has been no sustained contraction and there has been no significant rise in the unemployment rate either. In fact unemployment is at historic lows.

The US gross domestic product shrank at an annualized rate of 1.4% in the first quarter of 2022. This was also the quarter where Omicron became prevalent. Further this was also the first time in contracted since the begin of pandemic 2+ years ago.

We don't have to guess.. it's literally in the article. This is a Phase 1 trial purely to test safety and immunogenicity.

More details:

> The IAVI-sponsored trial, IAVI G003, builds on progress in HIV vaccine research. Recent findings from the Phase I clinical trial IAVI G001 showed that vaccination with the HIV immunogen eOD-GT8 60mer as a recombinant protein safely induced the targeted immune responses in 97% of recipients (healthy U.S. adults). The immune response — targeting and expanding a specific class of B cells — is needed to start the process of developing broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). The induction of bnAbs is widely considered to be a goal of an efficacious HIV vaccine, and this B-cell activation is the first step in that process. IAVI G003 is designed to test the hypothesis that vaccination with eOD-GT8 60mer, developed by scientific teams at IAVI and Scripps Research, delivered via Moderna’s mRNA platform, can induce similar immune responses in African populations as was seen for IAVI G001.

Ask HN: How to avoid accidentally opening a port to the world?
I recently discovered Solr (Jetty to be specific) binds to "::" by default, which is the ipv6 equivalent to "0.0.0.0". It essentially opened the Solr instance to the world.

I luckily caught it before indexing any data, but it opened my eyes to how easy it is for something like this to slip by. How can we prevent such things from happening?

I have since installed ufw and block all incoming traffic except to ports 22, 80 and 443 as a "layer" of defense (my thinking is, I won't accidentally expose a port this way).

My father worked for the last few years in a company specialized in graphene technology and products. It's wrong for me to say this but I ended up not thinking much of it. The company pivoted many times trying to find a successful product. Their strategy seems to be "throw graphene at anything and hope for the best". As it worst it has used very dubious claims and armies of sales people to peddle their products.

I mean, it's my personal preference, I find having a good command line and package manager to be quite nice for development personally. And I prefer the KDE UX as well. I also like Unix as a whole, even the OS configuration is just code inside files.

And I think I associate the userland to be part of the OS. So for example, instead of thinking, oh I wish Windows had a better command line and package manager and got rid of the registry and used files instead as the main abstraction, I'm much more likely to wish that Nvidia released high quality drivers for Linux and that Unity had prime support for it.

It's the shape of the grains of sand that's bad for concrete, not the chemical composition. It gets less angular and more round when it moves in the desert and it doesn't bound well with cement.
