Not that i have any faith in political parties, but i disagree with your analysis entirely. Green capitalism is not gonna get us out of this dire situation. For the reasons you point out, techno-utopist solutionism is actually making the situation a lot worse (extraction/refinement of more minerals, more overall industrial activity to achieve the transition, extra hardware we don't know how to recycle).

The more we try to make it look like industrial society can be green, the more everyone is going to consume and that's not sustainable in the long run. We need actual degrowth now, if not yesterday. And i'm not saying we global northerners should moralize countries like Brazil or India about their industrial practices: no, we need to develop our own self-sustenance for food, housing, and medicine in the here and now... and stop pillaging/exploiting the 3rd world as our industrial backyard where all chemical atrocious pollution is permitted.

Nuclear is part of the tech pipe dream that the oligarchy is promising us, of an ever abundance of free/clean energy. But the reality on the ground, from mining sites to storage facilities, looks very different. And who cares where your electricity comes from if even the most mundane devices come with electronics and batteries? Can't i buy a fucking car without having at least a 100 micro-controllers inside?!

If you want to save the environment, make it a criminal offense to sell a product without having at least minimum 50y warranty/service. That's how you change things: the planet doesn't care if your energy has more or less carbon if you keep on producing disposable phones that's gonna be broken/obsolete two years from now. We have to stop this madness. The same goes with the housing industry and many other industries, believe it or not: the Romans and the Aztecs built low-tech structures that will outlive us all, and multi-billion dollars corporations can't even build stuff that stays in decent shape for more than 10 years (or rather, they won't for financial reasons).

So fine, be angry all you want at people like me who promote actual environmentalism. Maybe we're too much "nature-worshipping" to be heard by the psychopaths in power who already ruined everything. I personally have zero faith in the system and structures that have taken us so far, and have made sure that every attempt to diverge from the worst possible timeline has been sabotaged. I come from France, where the Rainbow Warrior was sunk by secret services, and the COP21 mass demonstrations were all canceled using the indecent pretext of so-called "terrorist" attacks and State of Emergency... The people in power will never help us save the planet: we have to make them.
Maybe my warranty is different to yours, but tyres, brakes, wipers, fluids, fuel system are all under my warranty. They only need changing on schedule that is in the manual, not by their suggestion. They've never suggested up-selling anything at all.
"They" could also use this to prevent prosecution for abortion. The knife cuts both ways.
Firebug is why I've been using Firefox as my primary browser since Firebug first came out. Firebug was such a huge game changer for web development. Before firebug we had to use alerts or writing to the DOM to debug. It is hard to imagine a web development world without Inspect, Console, etc., but that was the reality for many years. Then Firebug came around! Eventually Chrome added developer tools, but I was so used to Firebug that I never even tried Chrome. I was quite sad when Firefox created official developer tools and Firebug ceased to exist. It was hard letting go of an old friend who led the way.
The easier path is global warming -> more energy in the atmosphere -> more extreme weather.
Show HN: Yet another artsy text to image generator but in multiple languages
I've always wanted to draw and paint but never had the talent to do it. Art class at school was always a messy experience for me, a more comical one than a creative one.

Now, creating art is so easy. You just type what you want, in any language you want, and just keep going... it's a very satisfying and very relaxing experience . I find myself keep trying to create something new, something cool or weird. It's a lot of fun .

I hope you can discover this new art form too, and create something new, strange, or beautiful.

Try us out, free, in any language at https://art.elbo.ai, and let us know how you felt when you did.

Curious why Kivy framework which uses Python is not even mentioned. Is there something that I should be worried about? I am planning to learn Kivy soon.
Ask HN: Has anyone not selling Design Sprints tried a design sprint?
Would love to know if you found it useful, learned from it, was it worth the time, what went wrong etc.

I have nothing against service providers and think the people providing these services can be invaluable, but am more curious to hear from people people who tried the sprint for their own firm.
if by storage you mean batteries, are you sure that their production/usage/recycling makes up for the environmental cost of producing/recycling them?

I am all in for green energy but we have to be honest and estimate well, otherwise we will simply continue as we are now (if not make matters worst)
The 9th Circuit has also ruled that bees are fish[1], and has regularly bucked precedent that to most of the country is settled jurisprudence. [2] This escalating to a point one of the Circuit's own judges began lambasting the Circuit itself. [3]

You'll understand if what the 9th Circuit declares has lost a touch of automatic deference from an intellectual, rational consistency, and linguistic abuse point of view, I hope.
The whole point of the energy critique is that it's being wasted on something either useless or deleterious. You can argue with that take, but all you're doing with the "but what about dishwashers?!" response is asking them to pass a moral judgment on dishwashers, which isn't relevant to this discussion.

Also, Ethereum has been "soon to be env-friendly PoS" for years now. Let's revisit that if and when it actually happens.
> As an individual or a small business, ones does not have an alternative to github

Why do you say that?
If the software is performing actions that are illegal

But no software is performing any action; A system running said software could, but the software by itself cannot.

And regarding a system performing actions: didn't the USPTO similarly declare that an AI (=software system) can never be qualified as an inventor, because it has no agency?
You seem to be arguing as if this is an all or nothing proposition. Instead there are definite degrees of intent and interaction here. In the E2EE case the degree of interaction and intent is quite low. In the mixer case the degree is quite high. The line I believe should be drawn somewhere in the middle. But the Mixer case definitely is on the wrong side for me.
EFF doesn't have >$100Bn of profits per year.

When you're a donation based non-profit, it's easy to "stand up for clear boundaries". In fact, it's literally your purpose.

When you've got >$100Bn of profits on the line, it's a little harder - and you have a different purpose (i.e. to make money).
It's not accessible (403) from Poland.
There are lots of perfectly legitimate things that people do which inconvenience me in various ways. But I don't think I'm within my rights to demand that airlines don't allow young children or obese people in planes for example. If management doesn't feel I have a need to come into the office a couple days a week, I'm not coming in just because some people want the buzz of a busy 2019 office.

And if that makes me selfish, so be it.
Some people (like me) keep their cars after the warranty expires, for us it doesn't make sense to go to the dealer at that point if you have a good independent mechanic. Being a good mechanic includes not finding unnecessary repairs to charge you for and depending on repeat business from happy customers.
> The Sears Tower is actually a 3x3 grid of individual towers, connected in a way that allows for lateral motion. This mimics a palm's trunk structure.

If you are easily frightened, do not go up to the top on a windy day. It sways in the wind like a palm tree (side-to-side 10-15 feet, 3-4 meters). And the creaking noises! If you close your eyes, it is easy to imagine that you are in a tall ship 150 years ago.
Without diving too deep into political philosophy, government power is derived from the consent of the governed. To respect the law of a willfully elected government is to respect the wishes of the people.

Of course morality is a complicated topic with many factors.

But for Pete’s sake, we’re talking about a free account on a website, not a war crime.
That presumes you can sell it. From personal experience in the 2008 market, you can be upside down enough on your mortgage that you financially are unable to sell your home because you don't have enough cash on hand to set fire to.

Its not a good feeling not knowing how long you are going to be stuck in the home. Hope you don't want to move due to things like having kids or getting a new job while you are upside down.
In other words:

It would be. Coastal zones (say within 100 km of open sea) would still see some tempering effects but not on the same scale and further inland it would instantly be the same climate as you saw in Poland or Russia 40 years ago. And further East it will be worse still. The Gulf Stream is what keeps Northern Europe habitable.
Create a new GitHub account that you use for work.
That only works for the userland, mitigating security issues by replacing the main stock OS with Lineage.

Aren't most LOS roms based on ancient kernels (albeit mostly patched-up with security updates), that use ancient modules, with opaque BLOBS/Firmwares, that only sometimes get updated, if ever?

You could run "HighSecurityOS WhatEv" on your phone, as long as e.g. the Wireless-Interface runs something entirely independent of you with DMA rights, and probably faulty firmware, can you really trust your device? Or have I missed recent advancements in this problem space?

PostMarketOS aims to mainline more devices/phones, so maybe, even if your final OS of choice is Lineage (or derivative), I would check their HWCDB before checking, if Lineage works on a phone.
Surfing Uncertainty by Andy Clark is all about this.
> Miami also has ficus trees planted all over the place.

Fun story. In 2005, South Florida took two direct hits: Katrina in late August, Wilma in October.

During Katrina, a neighbor’s massive ficus tree was toppled. They were in the process of removing it and had only taken care of the top when Wilma’s impending arrival halted work. Wilma put the tree upright.

Thankfully those storms were nuisances compared to Andrew. I was north of where the eyewall hit, but seeing the aftermath has stuck with me for life. It is hard to believe it has been 30 years.

Even on the desktop processors, there are onboard lanes dedicated to the NVMe itself, and the entire processor (including NVMe) is capable of booting without a supporting chipset at all - the "X300 chipset" is actually not a chipset at all, it is just using the SOC itself without an external chipset, and you do not lose NVMe functionality.

Not sure if you are using some really weird meaning of "NVMe controller" that doesn't match what anyone else means?
I would be upset, but that is separate to the question posed of whether we should be trying to innovate and automate. The answer is that innovation and productivity should be sought, even though it's understandably not fun for the people whose skills are being commoditized in the moment. At no point in history was it a good idea to purposefully stop innovation just to preserve some job that was about to be automated. The cumulative impact of jobs being automated and productivity is why we have such easy lives today.
The hard problems are always people problems. If they changed the layout of my data, I couldn't use that compiler, since I really do rely on my data being in a specific order. I know what fields in my struct are hot, and what are cold, and a compiler really can't figure that out for me. That would also break every existing ABI out there. Maybe you'd add a struct to say "make this data ABI-compliant" but then everything would get that tag.

Standard libraries can't be great. They have to be safe, conservative and generic by default. std::vector<bool> is a classic example of what happens when a standard library tries to become too clever with optimization, and ends up screwing itself for an eternity.

C++ is too far gone to introduce good allocation patterns for its core data structures. A custom solution can be tailor-made by knowing what works well together.

I could spend 5,000 hours trying to get basic features through the C++ committee, or I could just write my own in half an hour. The idea that effort should always go to the compilers and standard library is countered by 20 years of complete nothing on any of those fronts (std::unordered_map still sucks), half-baked libraries like <random> making it into the standard, and compilers not even getting remotely better for things like SIMD, instead choosing to focus on more random undefined behavior passages to exploit.
Yes, generally. It's what many AAA games use.
Can I quickly derail the conversation to talk about APKPure?

I use their app instead of the Play Store and I have no complaints. Once in a blue moon it's missing an app, but never one I couldn't live without.

Having said that, why is APKPure? Who is funding them? Are they to be trusted? Have they stolen my passwords? Does anyone know?
Yea, they've spent a lot of money over the last few years on questionable acquisitions (Weta for multiple billions, seriously?).

They are making a big push into their game services division, which is more than ads now: matchmaking, lobbies, dedicated servers (Multiplay acquisition), etc. They also aren't trying to only target Unity for some of these. Multiplay in particular runs a lot of Unreal games, or at least they did (such as Apex Legends).

Unfortunately I don't see a world where these services move the needle at all for a giant behemoth of a company like Unity.
I do not see a meaningful difference between e2ee messengers and mixers. Both aim to support anonymity. Both can (and do) enable bad things. If you (unlike me) believe that cryptocurrency should be legal, I don't see why you would think mixers should not.

Now it is moot after sanctions are in effect. What we are discussing is mental world model of software engineers before Tornado sanctions were announced and their accounts wiped. It might be hard to see in hindsight.
To a lot of consumers, "recall" implies the product they bought is unsafe and will end up hurting them or causing significant property damage. Think contaminated foods, car parts catching fire, faulty ignition switches causing vehicle crashes, airbag inflator shrapnel issues, etc.

So when they hear $AUTOMAKER is issuing a big recall, to a lot of people it means there's something massively unsafe about those cars. Even though sometimes a recall is just replacing a cap that doesn't seal as well as it should, or an exhaust filter canister not performing as it should, or other less critical recall reasons.
Sigh.. yeah. I admit I was wrong here.

Big car companies are generally aligned on this front. I don't get it, they're developing and delivering safety critical systems. Why does it take hundreds of incidents before corrective action is taken?

I prefer the NTSB approach (shared by most countries aviation safety councils): Every major incident is investigated to ensure lessons are learned so it isn't repeated.

Unfortunate how low the bar is to be allowed to operate a motor death machine. On average the cause is "driver error".

You get compensated for your jury duty - not well compensated, but enough to cover gas for sure. The rest of your whining is likely just as factually false - get over yourself.
The question is what caused it?

One scenario is equipment failure. On-site person was not familiar, called for back-up, back ups did not don proper PPE nor follow proper protocol. Another scenario is the equipment failed in a manner not envisioned by the designers of the protocols and were really unlucky.

In any case, this is really sad and bad and hope they recover.
I am pretty sure both EELV or the FI, if they were in power would actually not target Nuclear (even though they say they would) but would probably just stop investing in it (which may be a problem). No head of state is going to shoot itself in the foot by removing such a profitable energy whose costs have already been paid for. I think it's just signalling on their part. The alternative are the rich people parties (I count the far right in, even though they pretend they work for the people when they are effectively in power they attack workers rights among other nasty things) that absolutely won't shake any preestablished interests status quo.

If this is true, why do atheists get so bent out of shape when you don't comply with their scriptures?
True!

It's Risk. Humans are typically insanely bad at understanding risk, how to assess it, and how to mitigate it.

For most, if something is risky, it's just a black box, perhaps with some odds, and it's either feared or ignored (or both).

Few understand the critical difference between using knowledge, skill, technology, and planning to manage and mitigate risk, vs rolling the dice and getting away with it for a long time.

Using knowledge, skill, technology, and planning to manage and mitigate risk has gotten humans to great heights - we can make entire careers living in environments in which random behaviors will kill us in seconds (e.g., aerospace, underwater, large construction, metals refining, etc.).

But most people think much more naively, and even do so in professional environments unless required otherwise (and even sometimes where they are). So, they just think that if something isn't obviously a risk, or only happens occasionally, ignore it.

This is just rolling the dice. Even if you get away with it for a long time, that only makes you more falsely confident and therefore more vulnerable. From the last mild pandemic, there are over a million dead and close to half million suffering long disease from this attitude.

And you see it in your work - you simply point out an obvious very damaging failure mode, even just to document it, and you get a hostile reaction.

I'm not sure what to do about it. Perhaps rock climbing should be a required activity in school, learning to viscerally manage risk, and showing that it is usually actually easy to to?
Show HN: PogPrice, an Android app for managing prices (protect from inflation)
This is an app where you can keep current and past prices of a product, check price changes throughout time, find cheapest price in a shop. Just manually add shops and products you are interested in. All shops, products and prices are saved in a device.

I spent my time developing this app because of rising inflation rates happening in many countries. I was seeing prices of food, clothing and other necessities getting higher and higher but I know I and many other people won't be keeping up with them.

From a technical perspective: PogPrice was created in Kotlin with libraries like Jetpack Compose, Koin and Objectbox (and few others). Its user interface is designed using Material You and Android 12 custom color theme support.

Google Play shows screenshots from an older version. You will see how much this app changed by comparing current version downloaded to your device with these images.

I hope you will enjoy using PogPrice!

That is an out of date factoid intended to stop the transition to EVs by making ICE pollution seem minor. Even when it was popular it ignored the work being done to fix that problem.

Fortunately, we moved to EVs and now all but the particularly resistant to reality accept they are better than ICE, in quality, efficiency, cost and carbon.

Meanwhile, we also passed some regulations to stop the cargo ships burning really dirty fuel which we were just letting them do for no good reason.

https://e360.yale.edu/features/at-last-the-shipping-industry...

> Public health experts estimate that once the 2020 sulfur cap takes effect, it would prevent roughly 150,000 premature deaths and 7.6 million childhood asthma cases globally each year.

> “There are very few examples of air quality regulations that have as broad a reach of benefits as this one,” said James Corbett, a professor of marine science and policy at the University of Delaware, who has conducted seminal research on international shipping emissions. “This is going to benefit children and adults in coastal communities located along major shipping lanes — not only [near ports] where ships are delivering cargo.”

So now cargo is both efficient and clean. And people are working on ways to make it even better, usually involving global regulations.
I think the first paragraph explaining the oscillator operation is not quite right. Corrected, below, maybe. I swapped "increases" and "decreases". But the fix might be something different.

"In more detail, as the voltage across the crystal decreases, the transistor turns on, feeding current into the capacitors and boosting the voltage across the capacitors (and thus the crystal). But as the voltage across the crystal increases, the transistor turns off and the current sink (circle with arrow) pulls current out of the capacitors, reducing the voltage across the crystal. Thus, the feedback from the drive transistor strengthens the crystal's oscillations to keep them going."

Never heard or seen anything like that at all. The fact that you are not even given an option despite decades of "this really is one of the most important things to billions of devices" makes me a bit hesitant to believe it.
I wonder how well we will get used to this. For farmers these water shortages mean a lot for their production. A few months ago there were some videos posted in nos.nl about our soil, and how it’s becoming more and more difficult to grow decent crops. These farmers better choose “eggs for their money”[0] soon…
