I’m wondering what you mean by weighing in globally. Do you mean publicly, or internally within the global google employment base? Google is big enough that I’m not sure public/internal can really be teased apart, but I guess intention might matter.

Regardless, I’ve come to realize that not talking about politics and religion doesn’t make political or religious action and impact go away, it just stays insidious.
I mean, wouldn't the simple and easy solution be to store that 30% energy and use it at night to reduce your load then? A quick search suggests home battery systems that store 30kw hrs might be around 9,000 euro. Plus the various inverters, etc.

Reducing peak load has to be more efficient than removing the CO2 after the fact, at least until that load is no longer generated by fossil fuels. It also lets you reduce your country's dependence on said fossil fuels which has been a hot button for the past few months.

A helicopter ride for you and him (and others if they'll fit) around where he lives or likes to camp. It's one thing to see your local places from an airplane, it was a completely different experience for me in a helicopter. If you can get one where the front seats have a window in the nose/floor and have him sit in the front with the pilot, that would probably be really cool for him.

Maybe go fly by some nearby broadcast/communications towers or something, too?

I've talked with airship people about the helium question.

Basically, hydrogen is better. Hydrogen has an image problem because of the Hindenburg, but there are compelling reasons why nothing of the sort would happen again.

The idea is to regain airship capacity using helium, while it's still cheaply available from a couple natural gas wells, and switch to the better lifting gas in a friendlier political climate.

Cat and mouse game seem to be nowhere near its end. And totally agree, businesses will happily play it forever.

Why geo ip? Naivety/ignorance coupled with the outdated business logic that segmenting audiences to skim customers to the max will continue to be the winning strategy. It rarely come from within IT brainstorming, those in denial or sticking to short sighted green are the business strategists also being vaguely sold that controlling can be done (and to some degree yes it can be so long as consumers bases don't in their majority adopt privacy measures and moan when being unlegitimately denied access)
On the more forgiving side, it does help easily monitor kiddy attacks altogether, if there is no market in Takjistan, why bother looking at false vs true positives coming from there, dumb scripts are dumb but can still be costly for the network management team.

Dead wrong. The state water project is not delivering any water to agricultural customers this year. Ag is on a mandatory 100% reduction.
Bad analogy. A person’s deeply-held belief that a given religion is true, and calling others to that belief, is not the same as saying “you were born of a lower caste and should never be able to escape that.”

Of course, it goes without saying, perceiving you belong to the true faith does not justify violence or discrimination. But faith-based identification is not analogous to a caste system.

> Maybe, Google, instead of just giving up you should be asking why a speaker on Dalit rights and inclusion is causing "division and rancor" in your community? Or is that also a difficult conversation you'd rather not have?

The same reason speakers on Palestinian rights often can. While they may be on the right side of the issue, it's also very easy for closed discussion spaces to rapidly devolve into pretty viciously anti-semitic tropes.

These discussions need to be done with some strict moderation and sensitivity, usually with actual historians who can properly contextualize the issue. If all you're doing is bringing in "activists" from a specific point of view to talk about it while delegitimizing all other perspectives as inherently beneath consideration it's not gonna go well.
Right, this is exactly what happened to Gopher and FTP. They were good at their one job. They were replaced by HTTP.
the track is the safest place to be! everyone's going the same way, the roads are meticulously well maintained, and there are no cops!

(I know a few people who exclusively track their bikes now to the point that they're not even plated any more; it's just where they want to go to enjoy the skills, and they've kind of lost interest in road riding entirely)
I'm struggling to see how the advice applies to their own examples. Take Jane, who took a great offer but was hit by a recession:

- potential reward of the decision: checks out

- probability of getting it: 95% if you already have the offer in hand

- resources (time/effort/money) to bet to get the reward: not significant

Then there is 'imagining a bet' and 'analysing your past failures'. The first one might lead you to the 'what if the company goes bust?' question, but would that really help in the decision making or be a reason to not accept the better job? The unlucky event is a recession, not this particular company doing badly (i.e. no signals to see).

If a recession hits, there is no reason to believe the consumer goods co. would fare any better and her old job more secure. I'd really like to see the 'poker player' mindset at play but this just feels like a complete miss.

I hope you can see the other perspective, which is that simply asking your users to use a tool in positive ways doesn’t automatically make it a positive tool. The tool doesn’t really foster anything other than delivering messages to contacts that follow.

Twitter is spammy enough as is. I don’t want my DMs hijacked to be another channel for unsolicited content generated by bots.

Hi there!

You'll be surprise to discover that actually many people reply back, and a few unfollows happened due to that message in the last 6 months.

It's suited to everyone who wants to kickstart conversations, the welcome message it's just an icebreaker, as you jump into the conversation after the reply.

Ask HN: What does it take to become an expert in a field?
You may be an expert programmer or computer scientist or mathematician or biologist or whichever field you belong to.

THE advice we get to become experts is to PRACTISE a lottt.

But, what does it really mean to practise? Is there any correct process of practice? Daily quota? Rest? Following materials of previous experts or tinkering until it works? Is there any field specific advice?

How did YOU do it?

Is there a list of modern games that still support this?
Happens pretty frequently.

One example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Irish_Americans_in_...
The state provides an abundance of such data, from thousands of sensors, in real time and in daily reports.

https://cdec.water.ca.gov/reservoir.html
Yes, we do need that, at least in the USA. The last 42 years of politics have neutered the federal and state governments when it comes to any kind of social issue. The only institutions that get respect are The Military, churches, very rich (and therefore very intelligent) men, and some big companies. The US government has so many checks and balances that virtually nothing has gotten done in years.
I intended 'obscure' in the 'not easily understood' (to outsiders) sense, but probably an unfortunate word choice as it also means 'unknown'.
> we basically just forgot how to breed and were succeeded by a civilization that could still manage that task

I'm a little lost about what that has to do with discrimination by publishers against writers by perceived gender? Does that somehow disrupt 'breeding'?
Current reservoir levels: https://cdec.water.ca.gov/reportapp/javareports?name=rescond...

Snowpack is not an irrelevant statistic. Gradual melt from snowpack is what flows into reservoirs. 10% of avg snowpack now means significantly less gradual resupply as we head into summer.

“ Snowpack accounts for the much of California’s water source and storage, because early spring snowpack “contains about 70 percent as much water, on average, as the long-term average combination of the major and ‘other’ reservoirs” (Dettinger and Anderson, 2015).”

If you're seeing discrimination in the workplace then it's no longer about politics, it's about the workplace and professionalism among staff.

> Have students watch a lecture and read the accompanying text, then have them take a quiz, then have a review session where the most missed quiz questions are covered, along with popular questions submitted beforehand. Finally, set up study groups to let peers answer easy questions, and have virtual office hours/email for the few remaining difficult questions that peer groups can't answer

With respect, I don't believe that approach could work for the combination of the type of material covered and the type of (often open-ended) questions and discussions that resulted from it.

One of the questions I recall being asked to solve for a first-year Physics tutorial was "estimate the change in the length of the Earth's day if all the vehicles in the UK were to swap to driving on the right hand side of the road instead of on the left"

“When you get a new follower, we send the welcome message.”

This is against Twitter ToS:

“ You may send automated Direct Messages to users so long as:

- in advance of sending the Direct Message, the recipient(s) have requested or have clearly indicated an intent on Twitter to be contacted by you via Direct Message, for example by sending you a Direct Message;

- and
you provide a clear and easy way for such users to opt-out of receiving automated Direct Messages, and promptly honor all such opt-out requests.

The fact that a user is technically able to receive a Direct Message from you (e.g. because the user follows you, has enabled the ability to receive Direct Messages from any account, or because the user is in a pre-existing Direct Message conversation with you) does not necessarily mean they have requested or expect to receive automated Direct Messages from you.”

Discrimination against protected classes is illegal. For example, until somewhat recently it was legal to discriminate based on someone’s sexual orientation (don’t ask, don’t tell).

Case law matters, and caste seems to not have clear answers as to whether it qualifies. If caste is considered equivalent to race, it would.
I nearly listed football/sport team support but thought it might be too out there a reference for most people. Now I'm wondering how global such sporting based rivalries are, and if they always originally grew from one of the others.
Father, not brother, gifted me a guitar. Now, we're both amateur guitarists, as are some of my other brothers. In the last 5-10 years my dad has started to collect more guitars. He's nerdier than some of the tech details on guitars than I am (hardware, pickups, etc) but ... we both enjoy guitars.

My dad looked - for a long time - for a guitar that was made on my birthday.- same day and same year, then same month and year. He couldn't find anything that specific, but found something made the following month (which, in my mind, was probably being built a few days before, in my birth month).

So on my 50th birthday I was given a guitar with almost the same birthday as me. It was pretty cool :)

There may not be interests that align with that sort of timetable directly, but perhaps that can spark an idea. I just priced out some 50 year old whiskey, and... that may be too much :)
Sometime the welcome message (that you can customize) discloses the automated nature of it.

I think like a poker player, I skimmed the article. What they seem to fail to mention is that variance is important as well. In poker you need to play at least 10000 hands in order for variance to average down a bit. 10000 hands is still very little.

So, if you have a 95% chance of going 10x that's great, but the question is: can you handle a 5% chance of having being potentially ruined for at least a decade? If not, then you cannot take the bet despite the fact that EV is super high.

Put more extremely, if I offer you a 99% chance to take make one billion dollars (legally) and a 1% chance of being killed, would you take it? I definitely wouldn't.

How about the following? I offer you an unfair coin flip advantage of 51% versus 49%, we're going to flip 1 million times, each time the bet is 1 dollar. Would you take it? I would.

The heuristic that poker teaches is: take a lot of small bets with huge upside with little to no downside. It doesn't matter how slim the chance of winning is. Slightly more nuanced (still a heuristic): the chance should be about as big as your volume of chance-taking. Say, you take 10000 chances, then the slimmest chance you can take (on average) is 1/10000.
I think discussions of "obscurity" are always relative to the audience in question, so while I highly doubt caste discussions would reasonably be considered obscure in India (or within the Indian diaspora), I (a non-Indian) had certainly never heard of casteism abroad until I saw submissions on HN discussing it at Cisco.
This comment section is the most absolute proof I've ever seen that absolutely nobody reads the article before commenting.

Hint: it's not about integer types at all
What the article is describing isn't "fans" as much as plain old "customers". Almost all the examples given in the article are people doing courses. If you sell a course for $1000, then the person buying it isn't a "fan" who just gives you money, the buyer is just a customer who buys a service.

The only thing new about this is that it's happening online; offering courses for $1000 is not exactly a new thing, it's a business that has existed for ever.

And I'm pretty sure that most of these customers aren't long-time fans. People will pay for access to a course, but they aren't going to take the course over and over again.
Huh yeah, seems to be a old memory leak. Running it on v10.24.0 crashes for me too.

After some quick testing in a couple of versions, it seems like it got fixed in v11 at least (didn't test any minor/patch versions).

By the way, all versions up to NodeJS 12 (LTS) are "end of life", and should probably not be used if you're downloading 3rd party dependencies, as there are bunch of security fixes since then, that are not being backported.
