Failing to control CO2 leads inexorably to global collapse of civilization, regardless of temperature.

Civilization would also collapse as a consequence of extreme temperature.

Temperature increase is easier to limit, but redirecting resources to limiting temperature accelerates CO2 increase, thus collapse from that.

Directing resources to reducing CO2 also limits temperature rise.

Each dollar directed to intervention A is a dollar not directed to intervention B.

Extreme fever can kill the patient. Plunging the patient in ice water cuts fever, but fails to save the patient. Antibiotics may take longer to reduce fever, but offers the possibility of saving the patient.
When it happened at my previous company several years ago, the CIO was honest and upfront. We were on our 2nd down tick in retail and he said in the next few months they would be letting contractors go. A few months after that he told us they might be laying off or outsourcing certain departments. A few months after that he told us which areas would be effected and that individuals would know if they are being let go on one of 2 days back to back. Everyone knew if they made it through those days they were safe. Then they gave those employees let go 6 months to offload responsibilities, and helped them find new jobs.

Thank you for saying this, i completly agree.

It honestly makes me ashamed to be a programmer associating with this type of person whos completely incapable of understanding even the simplest social issue
Historically money was not controlled by any government (gold). Gold lasted for tens of thousands of years: private transactions with money whose value was beyond a single government control.

Now we are talking about a single non-elected EU government controlling every transaction, not just the issuance of fiat money.

I personally think that with time this will implode, because the society always evolves towards more freedom, towards less centralization. There are multiple steps now in the reverse direction. However the discrepancy between the views of the government, the ruling classes and the reality is becoming so big that without a grand catastrophe (a global war, a revolution, etc) the inevitable correction seems less and less possible.
Pretty insane. I thought AI had a ways to go before it could solve problems like these.

One of the key issues at play is that when there is no clear interpretation of a statue, that a regular can interpret that in whichever way they want. This was a legal noodle that a previous administration didn't even know would stick. The result is that the executive branch just lost of a lot of interpretational leeway.

No they were actually a decent bank. Offered 1.5% interest on CASA when others offered next to nil. They were the first bank in Australia to approve a home loan in 15 minutes, something which others could only dream of. But they needed more funding. Banking in Australia simply does not have enough competition and customers are extremely sticky.
I understand the idea of the SC kicking things back to congress and that would be well and good if we didn't have minority rule in this country coupled with the outsized power that land has over people. On top of that we have a disgusting high rep->citizen ratio because of a silly law congress passed capping it's size. Throw in gerrymandering and election boards rejecting results of elections (and things like Jan 6th) and it's clear democracy is dying.
I, for one, wish the EPA (or some body) were empowered to do more than it does, but I also (to some degree) respect the logic of many conservative judicial opinions. Just sayin.
Speak the truth. "I can't answer this kind of a question. If I answer 'yes', then there will be undue stress on the people that are not getting laid off. If I answer 'no', but the business requires layoffs, then I will be lying."
If that's your argument, then surely the proper approach is to criticize the Court for those instances where their logic isn't consistent, instead of when the logic is consistent. For example, Thomas vigorously dissented in Gonzales v. Raich, where Scalia voted to uphold federal marijuana restrictions as a proper exercise of the Commerce power.

There is nothing wrong with judges having an "agenda" as long as that agenda rests on legal doctrine and philosophy, and not "outcomes."
The article mentions how this would allow all kinds of new services:

>Our European companies, large and small, will also benefit from this digital identity. They will be able to offer a wide range of new services since the proposal offers a solution for secure and trusted identification services.

It mentions things like going to nightclubs, and I assume it will include many more things that would otherwise not require a mobile app. Because this all now goes through government controlled servers, it follows they will have knowledge of all these new services, and all this new activity on every single citizen. In practice, this means government will know much more because this is now a widespread, mandatory form of ID.

The question for me is, why does government need all of this information, as oppose to how can government intervene and make ID verification more convenient. The scale of this is unprecedented as well, from the amount of people doing it to the granularity of where and how it's going to be used.
Author (of post) here. Happy to answer any questions or entertain thoughts regarding Amazon's rampant piracy.
This is a fascinating article. The path from “death of Christ” to “death of religion” is quite a turnaround.
ClickUp is the first piece of software to confuse me before I even used it.

Their intentionally obtuse marketing all over NYC would drive me insane. Then one day I had a natural reason to stumble upon it, it was had literally nothing to do with what the advertising implied, and the interface was so deeply overwhelming that I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Like an almost anxiety inducing level of overload from the moment I tried to use it.

Maybe it's great if you live in GANTT Chart Burndown Land, but generally you want something that everyone can use, not just your PMs.

For context, the French company Thales Group is "the 8th largest defence contractor in the world with 55% of its total sales being military sales".

They are proudly proposing that we outsource government functions to them, promoting the proprietary tech they will use to that end.
The author is predicting a -80% crash (37$ as fair value vs 189$ current)
We used them in the army in the 90s, I guess one big advantage is that you can use them with a gas mask on.
We've also seen that sometimes working at a lower level can actually make performance worse; there are cases where eg. describing something abstractly to a smart compiler gives it more opportunities to optimize

Personally I think a better way is "high-level with trapdoors", where you can pierce the abstraction if you really need to spot-optimize but higher-level code is the norm

Rough ideas I've played with over the last 18 months of running my business

- Writing content for your (potential) audience

- Hanging out and talking about the topic on reddit/Discord/Slack/HN/Twitter

- Setting my hotspot name to my project's domain name whenever I'm around techies or on long train trips

- Find any and all directories that might list products like yours

- Meetups

- Online ads

- Side projects as marketing (little tools that your audience might use, for free)

- Linkedin, talk to people you've worked with before
How do you prove whats in anothers heart? Its not provable.

But if you dont try and figure it out, you can't understand the world.

If you don't think its true, why not?
I don't think that's a fair comparison in saying it's doing the job of both just because coinbase self regulates which coins it allows. Their markets and pairs are based on internal risk calculations. DOGE coin was allowed relatively late onto coinbase. Monero is still not supported on coinbase. Schwab does similar with penny stocks and you have to do an interview with a trader in order to be able to do naked calls/puts or advanced straddles as well as trade on margin. Schwab will help you make otc trades on penny stocks that aren't listed on the main exchanges.

Not listing Monero is definitely not a good financial decision. That's the currency darknet markets are shifting to. Monero also crashed along with BTC and ETH, it doesn't look decoupled. And crypto markets haven't meaningfully decoupled from the securities market either.
Congress wouldn't ratify 99% of court decisions even when the text of their bill is very clear l. The argument you make in the last sentence of your post is very weak.
Congress itself would not decide what a safe level of arsenic is, EPA experts would.

But as you said the EPA only would have the authority to regulate "clean drinking water", and since arsenic isn't drinking water, then the EPA would have no authority to regulate it unless Congress specifically says so.
In an ideal world, every device would be secure enough that the user could afford to lose it.

P.S. I'm using a pixel phone running CalyxOS It has a locked bootloader so I am reasonably confident an attacker could not steal my keys. I wish I could say the same about my laptop.
It's not slow in my terms, just not lightning fast (i.e. vim, mutt, kate, bbedit, etc. fast).

I have never seen that CPU eating behavior on mine, and the mailbox is nowhere small.

The legislative branch did give these agencies permission to take the actions they have, when those agencies were founded. The fact that SCOTUS disagrees doesn't make them right.

Also, outcomes matter. If before a ruling, a group of people had rights, and after a ruling those people have fewer rights, the cause of the loss of those rights is the ruling.
I like the convention. Even if you pick a word that isn't very common, you are still unlikely to be able to register a domain name for that word, and will have to amend it somehow, and search engines will still have to guess which use of the word you meant. Having a common convention simplifies searching for things, as opposed to having to type out "Rust Programming Language" every search.
Processes were followed and have been for generations. SCOTUS is just flipping the table over now for the benefit of biggest polluting industries, not the citizens, country, or the rule of law.
It might be hugely complex, but at the same time, I'd posit that 90 percent of devs use only 1 percent of its functionality, 95 percent of the time they use it, and get work done.
> At least in national elections there are parties campaigning with a platform and then I can decide which platform I like best.

I fail to see how you cannot do that in European Parliament elections. If anything, EUP elections are more democratic than average, by way of using a proportional-representation system that matches voters' preferences more closely than almost any European voting system.

And if you're saying, "but it's the Commission proposing laws!", they don't pull stuff out of thin air: the Commission effectively tries to implement an agenda that European Council members agree together. And who is EuroCouncil? National governments, whom you vote for. Also, the Commission doesn't work alone - directives are effectively drafted in concert with Parliament committees, because in the end they have to be approved by such Parliament.
TikTok's trying to whitewash its reputation?
ING are mostly online and have operated in Oz in many years. AFAIK the last new consumer focused bank to enter Australia was Citi in the 90es, so Volt was indeed an exception. A lot of us had very high hopes for something different.
Banking is a tough game.
> but calling them a conspiracy, when they specifically engage and practice debate professionally, is sort of pathetic honestly.

Debating professionally precludes conspiracy? What if a high-school debate club decides to rob a bank?
Having worked on Windows code, I’m pretty sure you don’t want your Copilot-generated code tainted with all that cruft.
For the audience that reads HN? Probably not that difficult. For the average person who is comparing this to the alternative of a bank where they can just talk to a human who manages all this for them and also get benefits like a credit card with rewards, built a credit score, and have a throat to choke when there's an issue... it doesn't seem like that good of a tradeoff
I had the permutation part, but forgot about the fact that permutations can factor
Ask HN: Why is there a YC job posting on the front page with comments disabled?
There’s currently a job posting for SimpleHash that’s on the front page, but has comments disabled. Is this an ad?
Perhaps, but I think on this instance... this short-termist mindset has a basis.

What kind of a 100 year future does Atlassian have? Jira certainly isn't a 100 year product. Software is so fast... IDK. The pox is not just a product of greed and malice and nothing.
passing the ball to the scorer is in fact a harder decision that you claim because it butts right up against the personal ego (to score yourself and garner the esteem that comes with that). there's even a term for that: ball hog. also, the best shooter isn't always obvious nor a static quality. "best" is dynamic, based on the ever-shifting conditions on the court, and the winning strategy is to find that person dynamically in the middle of action, when opportunities are slim and fleeting.

as @kqr alluded, 50/50 decisions are a sign of the lack of leadership, rather than a tool to reveal it.
> But I think it's incumbent on the Roe protesters to explain what that principle is, or they appear to be unprincipled hypocrites.

I'll take a stab at one potential explanation.

Pregnancy isn't infectious; you will not get pregnant by sitting next to a pregnant woman on the bus. Rights become more complicated when they impact others.
Hum... Quickly investing all your money into product development creates what kind of risk? I'm having a hard time separating them.

Anyway, that can quite possibly be perfectly aligned with your company's goals. It's not a bad or good thing. It's just a thing.
In theory, I think that something like this is way past its due date in many applications on the internet.

In practice, does anyone know how these expert groups are formed and how they operate? The execution feels like the same terrible EU-driven "plan it in excruciatingly useless detail to have everything in the first implementation, and only then realize it sucks".
FTX closes in on a deal to buy embattled crypto lender BlockFi for $25M
Not really IMO, modern 'banking scams' are either conspiracy theories, or super duper complicated to evade regulators.

Why run complicated scams when you can run simple scams? Just rug 'em.
That sounds impossible even for one language. A better description I might trust wouldn’t include “filter out”. Filter out!? Like activities that aren’t “filtered out” would somehow be blanket acceptable?

Wouldn’t it be easier to just use an FB api to send one ping when a transaction completes, e.g with a campaign ID? Why would fb ever be uploading what’s stored in a form field that they don’t know what it means? It makes no sense?
Clever trolling is still trolling.
As a whole, you are absolutely correct. But 99% of your daily interactions with Git come down to a handful of commands. Hell, print out a cheat sheet and tape it to your desk for the first few months of using it and you will be more than fine.
We've seen this with solar panel tariffs. We add tariffs to encourage domestic manufacturing, but instead of domestic factories we just get cutbacks in installations and less employment overall.

There the impacts are direct and obvious, but I worry that similar things happen in other industries as well. There are certainly a lot of people that think copper, steel, and aluminum tariffs are leading to workarounds that involve more imports of finished goods.

Is the US ultimately hurting or helping domestic manufacturing with these policies? I don't think the answers are clear.
I don't think that would work as biometrics aren't deterministic AFAIK. That's why operating systems with encrypted storage like Android (and presumably iOS) don't allow you to unlock them with biometrics on startup.

The assumption that the purchases are for use, not hoarding/reselling seems strange.
Do you have any recommendations on how to learn about PIO? I’ve mostly been in the arduino world and got pretty comfortable with AVR features, now I’m writing micropython to control neopixels for a board called the Plasma2040 and instead of bitbanging the signal from a digital pin, it’s apparently generating the signal via PIO, but it’s all black magic to me.
> Originalism is as bad in jurisprudence as orthodoxy is in religions.

There's nothing stopping you from rewriting the laws. Religions don't work that way.

Although, the US constitution is almost a religious text the way it's treated as almost sacred. Why does anyone still care what the founders intended? They're not prophets...
I don't understand the cognitive dissonance seemingly on display by the game collector throughout the article:

> He’d had a kind of philanthropic hubris as an owner and collector, someone who never gave a second thought to keeping his legendary game collection a secret. He’d gladly let YouTubers film in the back; he would even open the safe back there and show them, item by item, his Louvre. Other collectors had rare games, sure, but in the back room of his store, and especially in the safe, he was proud to own 10,000 of what he described as “cherry” copies—his preferred term for virgin condition.

and again...

> And though the value of retro games had exploded in the past few years, he’d never been concerned about the safety of the thousands of games from his legendary collection—some of the most valuable video games on earth.

and yet again...

> Though the vault door didn’t work then and was mainly for show, that anything behind it could be, would be, stolen seemed unimaginable.

It is repeated time and time again that these items are valuable, that the collector was keenly aware that they are extremely valuable, and yet he also repeatedly seemed to refuse to acknowledge that you need to take steps to protect valuables, and the more valuable something is the more steps you need to take to protect it.

I don't want to 'victim blame', suffering a burglary is a horrible experience, but it is one compounded by foolhardiness.
Look for plasma flow control for work related to this question.

from what I can tell, the NodeJS server was a trivial example of the customer's server, not their implementation. they take in docker containers
> You've given zero justification for this assertion.

No, that's not true. I have given some justification. You could fairly criticize my justification as inadequate, but not as entirely absent.

And you're right. I would not claim to have given adequate justification for my assertion. I can't prove that Urbit is a cult. It's just my personal opinion. If you don't like it you can return it for a full refund.

But I will say this: my opinion is informed by some pretty extensive knowledge of the technical parts of Urbit, especially its core design, and personal first-hand knowledge of the history and motivation behind its design. Again, I can't prove any of this. I could not publish it as a peer-reviewed paper. All I can do it wave the warning flag. How you choose to act on that is up to you.
>Their logic can be consistent and they can still be partisans, looking to implement a specific agenda.

While your logic is consistent, unbiased, agenda-free and non-partisan.

>because they support the outcomes these rulings enact.

While the fact that you do not support these outcomes has no bearing in your opinions on the matter.
The biggest friction point for me was being required to verify my ID to create an account for most crypto services. If I can't be anonymous with crypto, I see no reason to go through the hassle of adding a new payment method to my wallet.

The fact that it is so difficult to avoid disclosing my personal information tells me just about everyone getting into crypto right now is a speculator.
Absolute worse part of Jira.

Twice now I've worked at places that used Jira, and all it takes is one corner of the company to leverage it for some random oddball purpose to make it painfully slow.

One place started using it for managing thousands of assets, and eventually they were paying contractors tens of thousands to optimize their JIRA instance and untangle the mess.

Same thing is happening at my current company, where even in the last few months it's gotten painfully slower.
Git is super complex, yet it can be used successfully with just a few commands.

I blame developers and even most users for being too scared to use it. I think it’s perfectly normal to be scared of it while using it.

I think all users of technology should have some basic competence. Like every human should be able to be a basic Unix user, every human is capable of using git. And every developer should be capable.
Ceylon came out at around the same time as kotlin; for a while they were both good contenders for "a better Java that wasn't too different"
Not the argument being made at all, Github is free to do whatever it is doing. We just shouldn't use it, if we care about our and our users' freedom.

I think there's a big qualitative difference between an aircraft that can carry its own power source, and one that needs to be tethered to the ground.
I support this ruling not because I think that the EPA shouldn't have the authority to cap emissions, but because I agree with the Court that Congress never intended to grant the EPA that authority. I believe strongly that the executive authorities--be that police, FBI, NSA, ICE, or EPA--should not have the ability to creatively interpret laws. If we allow them to do that, we open the door to innumerable abuses.

So, yes, I support the outcomes of this ruling just as much as I support the reasoning. Congress needs to get its act together and legislate, not let the Executive branch make up rules to fill the void they've left.
I thought about doing this when I was playing with lifters a couple decades ago. The idea was that you could ionize the boundary layer, to make it somewhat "self repulsive", to thin it, to try to reduce the skin friction drag [1].

I remember doing some napkin math, and the added weight/power would be a net loss.
