> I mean, both are true, right? Why is Assange's predicament so much less objectionable?

Have we lost all ability to consider magnitude and context? Or did we never as a society have a good grasp of this most basic part of critical thinking?
I don't think you fully appreciate that what you talk about are several different aspects of the climate system and they are true at the same time. Which one is the more salient factor at play depends on the time scale you look at.

> fossil-fuel-sourced CO2 and CH4 are steadily warming the planet

No climate scientist denies this. It is the trend happening since the industrial revolution. But say, if you have three months or three years of data, you are not gonna be able to fit a statistically robust trend. At best, you can do some Bayesian attribution of the likelihood that a climate event is attributable to the long-term climate change effect.

> Many of the supposed discoveries of periodic oscillations in the North Atlantic and the Pacific simply don't hold up over time, and as with ENSO, have zero predictive power over what phase/amplitude of the next 'period of the oscillation' will be.

You are jumping into conclusions too soon. The fact that a system has periodicity does not necessarily mean that it is perfectly deterministic. You may not be able to predict when the next El Niño is gonna happen, but you can say with confidence how many El Niño events you will likely see in a 100-year time span.

> These phenomena are likely mostly chaotic in nature

Again, being chaotic does not mean no predictability at all. The atmosphere and the ocean do follow the basic laws governing fluid dynamics. How much predictability you have very much depends on the spatial and temporal scale you are looking at. Being able to predict one event and being able to predict a statistical distribution or a power spectrum are two different things.
If you’re just calling C functions or wrapping some C++ classes CPython isn’t very hard — unpack the arguments, call the function, pack up the return value(s).

Iterator support is a little trickier but not too bad once you have it figured out. Same with overloaded functions. Array access is a bit annoying because there’s two ways to do it and you have to guess the right one if you want slices and other craziness.

Memory management can be a pain but I’d imagine it is like that whenever you’re combining two languages.

I’ve done some pretty complex wrappers and have yet to find something that just isn’t possible (within the limitations of python). I usually get the boilerplate generated from pybindgen and then start on the serious hacking.

Actually… I did find something that wasn’t possible and that was because someone thought it was a good idea to commit the raw buffer interface (whatever it’s called) before it was finished and I wasted a whole lot of time on that before I dug into the python source to figure out why it wasn’t working.

I use Dynalist and a custom chrome extension which uses its API to save links to a list. On Android I use an app which can send http requests to any address. I use that to share urls from browser etc to that app which again send that link to Dynalist.
> a huge corporation is profiting from this code without consent from the developer

Also without attribution. The more permissive licenses allow corporations to profit from shared code, but most of them still require attribution.

And it's really not much to ask: when someone gives you free code, give them credit for their work.
No it would not have. Ukrainian protest in 2014 was driven by wanting EU membership and trade ties. Russia responded with an invasion.
It's worth checking if the startup is well funded (making enough revenue or closed a round recently). In the current climate, late stage is being hit the hardest due to access to capital.
> "protecting users from spying by US companies instead of EU companies that EU member states can obtain PII from at any time"

I want to quantify this quote. Each EU country can spy on its citizens to similar extent as 3 letter agencies from the US, but in a less analytical/big meta data way (part of it being the US brain draining EU countries for those working in tech).

However, if EU country A wants to have access to its citizens user date on website X located in EU country B, is not an easy process; involving a strict judicial system between those countries.

TIL! Initially I thought about the sprouting corpses in Grim Fandango, but I'll make it a stop for my next visit to the botanical garden in munich:

There at least the giant lily needs to be pollinated by hand as they are lacking the specialized beetles https://www.botmuc.de/en/audio_tour/202.html so I'd assume some gardens do think about these matters.
I use pinboard as well. Early user of del.icio.us, I exported it all to pinboard and paid a one-time lifetime fee. Too many old links are dead, but that's the nature of the web, and I hope waybackmachine can help with some of them (I never paid for the full-text-archive feature of pinboard, it would have been a good idea but it's too late now). Sometimes it definitely helps me find some old highlights that still lurk in a shiny way in my mind.

The Russian army is not sponsored by Yandex. The money comes from selling natural resources... and mostly to Europe, surprise. It's about $1 billion per day. Tax money from private companies is nothing compared to that. So Europe is sponsoring the war way more than Yandex.

Let's then shut down the Europe, right? You can say — look, they're trying hard to get rid of Russian resources. But Yandex is also trying hard to become less dependent on Russian economy — they try to internationalize their business. And all that "canceling" of Yandex really doesn't help (it does the opposite in fact).
Russia has that. Just typewriters and stationary.
The EU has both enacted the most promising and some of the most backwards, stupid and regressive privacy laws. I'm guessing that it depends on what representative guides it and forms it through the various processes, and what the courts do with it. Overall I think they have moved the needle towards more privacy.

> Yes I also do understand that the EU in general view privacy from the government as illegal rather then a right.

That is absolutely not true, at least not by enough people for anyone to be able to make that sort of blanket statement. I'd also wonder what reasons you have for thinking that, it seems to me like all of the 5-eyes used each other to spy on themselves (besides all of the things done by normal police, various levels of federal police, etc.)
Is this just wordplay? When you click "Buy now", are you just buying a license?

Is "ownership" just a byproduct of physical goods? If I say I own a record, the proof is basically in the pudding. But how do I prove I own an MP3 file? I'd probably need to do something like show a receipt for it. But then again, what if I have shown that receipt to 100 people I've sold "my" copy of the MP3 file to? With physical reality, exact duplication is difficult, and is already covered under those existing laws.

It seems like computing was big on licensing, even when tech was nascent and there wasn't clearly reams of money to be made in it, there must be a reason for it.
Russia responded with an invasion because an EU state on their border would be like Mexico being an ally of China on the border of the US. Not saying Russian actions in the war haven't been despicable but if this happened to the US they would invade too.

I think the most likely outcome of this war is Ukraine gets split into 2 buffer states, one as a client to Russia and the other as a client to the EU/US. US can't afford to spend the hundreds of billions it would take for Ukraine to win (1000's of tanks, artillery pieces, IFVs, etc) and Putin can't back down now or he'll lose face and be toppled from leadership.

But government can impose requirements, like TAA compliance (1) and SHB requirements (2) on its service vendors, forcing those vendors to purchase from a fairly constrained number of hardware providers.

Alcohol, cocaine and mdma are rough drugs too but there's something about weed/hash that makes me think it's overall mental effects might be worse. It's odd that it's written off as harmless quite often. (Btw I think all drugs should be legal, but I also now think they are all horrible and have nothing to do with them , well apart from beer and wine!)
I realize that the HN guidelines recommend submitting original sources instead of secondary sources. In this case I chose to submit the bleepingcomputer article because it gives a nice overview of the topic and is much easier to read on a mobile device than the original NSA/CISA/NCSC PDF file.

The sibling comment (the one that I originally responded) stated that "I don't understand vaccines because individual effects are not as potent without the herd effects" and that "if you oppose mandates, you don't understand vaccines and you are anti-vax"

Your "argument" (or whatever passed for one) was "you lack a critical understanding of how vaccines work, so you are inclined (sic?) to be anti-vaxx"

The issue of both the sibling comment and your own is that they assume that any two people with the same information can only reach the same "logical" conclusion. My response was an attempt to show that this is not true.

- It is possible to simultaneously (a) understand the concept of herd immunization, (b) take the vaccine and campaign for others to do the same and (c) still be against vaccine mandates.

- It is possible to simultaneously (a) understand the importance of keeping R0 low, (b) take the vaccine and campaign for others to do anything possible to reduce spread and (c) still be against vaccine mandates.

- It's not because someone is against vaccine mandates, that the person is anti-vax.

Does it help if I lay everything out like this, or would you need me to pre-chew it a bit for you?
I didn’t assume. I think you demonstrated. I agree there is no point.
Well, the article mentions Harley-Davidson, which some claim makes 2-wheeled tractors.
Well, that's where access to guns comes in. Suppose every bullied kid had several at their disposal? Maybe that would reduce bullying. I'm very sympathetic to the bullied, we lose a lot of human capital to bullying.
I think you're being facetious here. NATO expansion was Russias stated cause of the Ukrainian Conflict. However, Putin's statements since then have made it clear that the real objective is more of an ideological one. He wants to expand and build into a sort of neo-russian empire. Ukraine was considered the easiest target because of the ongoing Donbass conflict. However it could easily have been Georgia, Khazakstan, Azerbaijan or others.
If you get your site setup on Google Webmaster tools you will still have access to the search terms. Definitely not as precise as with GA, but should suffice. Unless you want to do per user funnel tracking starting from their search term. Which is pretty privacy invasive.

There is a middle course: You could get a pull request accepted with good content, but including a sensible comment whose exact wording you can choose, so later you can replace the contents of that commit with malicious code and a garbage comment. Such a collision is easier to create than a preimage attack (because you have some control over the preimage), but harder than if you could choose the preimage arbitrarily (which wouldn’t be accepted in the pull request). I admit that I have no idea how to quantify the difference in difficulty.
I would argue that substantial shouldn't be measured in lines of code, it should be measured in importance. Something like the fast inverse square root is substantial even though it's short.
Probably none. But you can get a booster like Boostrix-IPV [1]. You wouldn't get it for Polio specifically, but more to freshen up your Tetanus protection, which should be done every 10 years. Let's say you get scratched by a rose while gardening, then you can go to your doctor and let him know that you haven't had a refresh of the most common vaccines in over a decade. Maybe then ask specifically for that one. I got one in my 40s after an accident where the wound then had dirt in it.

It's Orbiter 8, but we're not on any main nets yet. Still just on test nets. We did release a new demo of our work in Febuarary so if you just want to get the gist of it, it's on our website Orbiter8.com and easy to access with MetaMask. I had not heard of conquest.eth until just now, but darkforest is super clever. It also happens to share a few high level esthetics with O8, given that both are space games. However, the mechanics of each are totally unrelated. DF is a neat example of things that can be done entirely on-chain. Good stuff!
None of it was ad hominem.
In my experience antivirus software is not worth the cost of system resources. AV that tries to actively mitigate threats can really bog down your system.

Definitely purge McAfee as soon as possible.

Like the others have said, as long as you don't frequent sketchy websites, you will be just fine with Windows Defender.

Also, if your Windows Defender ever detects something you may want to run an additional scan with Malwarebytes just to cover your bases.

> I've had periods of my life where I've abused it and I regret every one of those days.

I think I am starting to wake up to this. I do find enjoyment in it, and there is such a sunk cost fallacy I keep factoring in too.

I mean do I take occasional breaks, but probably not enough. It had definitely helped me lower my inhibitions enough to introspectively identity some issues that were deeply hidden under the surface of my everyday life. However, it's killed my motivation and in some ways it's starting to negatively affect other areas of my life. Regardless of my dependence, I am thankful to not feel clinically addicted or anything.

I will say, it wasn't my first choice of treatment. I tried the mental/medical health professional route. I'm still on that train, and it's been 8 years. Nothing has really improved, so I am not sure what else to do and where else to go. I adopted cannabis around the age of 29 with very limited experience prior. The kind I use is not like the variety in this article either. I use 1:1 THC:CBD hemp because high thc products are illegal in my area. So maybe the damage isn't "as bad."

If all the medical/mental health treatments I tried work as well as the medical research and doctors claim then I probably wouldn't have ever began to use cannabis in the first place. But like I said, what else am I to do? It's exhausting and stressful trying to force yourself to be a way your body naturally fights against.

It's apparent that I cannot function well without some sort of chemical assistance. I guess the only difference is where I get it from (doctor vs. plant), the side-effects, and the societal views that accompany said chemicals.

I wouldn’t describe my relationship style as detached at all. I was attentive and used some of my time in therapy to work on issues that came up with my partner and try to resolve them. It didn’t work out but I think that’s due to a bad fit. And she smoked a lot of weed (more than I did) so we were aligned there.

My creative passions exploded. Personal design projects (3D printing, circuit board design, robotics, programming) all were off the charts high, as I reduced the number of hours I worked at my regular job to under 30 hours a week. It was the most productive hobby time of my life.

I think it makes a huge difference that I smoked relatively small amounts of pure sativa, and nothing else.

Biggest issue I think was how it affected my sleep. I would stay up late getting stoned and designing robots, going to sleep around 4 or 5am. I’d wake up at 12 or 1. Made it hard to visit my Dad for lunch since he lives a ways away. Now without weed I go to bed at midnight and wake up at 8. I like that! Much easier to make plans with my Dad and my new partner (who is GREAT).

And if no one does anything, in 5 years it will be a 1000, in 10 years 5000.
