Economic interdependence is good to maintain peace. Especially after the Cold War I can understand this incentive to strengthen the relations with Russia. The mistake was to continue to believe in it after Putin took Crimea in 2014.

I grew up in the inland swampy portion of north Florida. My dad didn't believe air conditioning was necessary and I grew up without it from birth to 18 when I went away to college and then from 22-24 when I moved back home. He designed and built our family home to essentially be one very large room (with bedrooms off the main room) with a huge number of screened windows and ceiling fans.

I assure you, in that climate, it's miserable. After a few years though I guess you just get used to it. Take a shower and never get dry. Sleep with every window open and still sweat constantly and be covered in bugs, too. I remember during a hurricane the power went out and stayed out for nearly a week in mid-August. We pretty much spent that time in our neighbor's swimming pool.

Our refrigerator couldn't handle the heat or humidity and more than a few times we'd pour the milk and it would come out solid.

That said, I survived. You'd be surprised what you can get used to and live through, even if it's unpleasant.
Local coal deposits are not economical anymore, haven't been for decades. We get our coal from places like Asia and Australia.

Last time I checked Germany was among the leaders in Europe for installed PV capacity, ahead of Spain, Italy, Portugal and France. And the northern part is quite windy, ever heard of the north sea?
Ouch that hurts.

No it's me, its just they must label all podcasters as musicians.
We will implement storage in hydrogen for the winter. It's already on it's way (again).
It already has your IP.
Chrome has crap image rendering. Chrome has sub-par SVG support. Chrome has a host of issues and bugs with media selectors and imagesets not updating dynamically when changing zoom levels.

So no, one must not admit it is "simply the best engine out there". Not by a long shot.
I agree. I can put On a sweater when it’s cold but i can’t undress to cool down
yes lol, just look at yc ceo’s political activism and yc’s public championing of it
Ah, this is a nuanced point I totally left off the README. Each raw file is ~5GB, but the raw files are a dump of network traffic from the firehose feed that tracks not just trades, but also updates to orders that do not result in trades. If you skip all of the algorithmic bots' constant updates to their bid/offer spreads and look at just the trades that clear, you can store years of raw trades in under 100GB.
The vast majority of Americans are concerned about data collection:

There's no point in additional discourse on the issue. We may as well be arguing about whether cigarettes cure lung disease.
> Almost immediately after I arrived, I learned our VP of Engineering – who I hugely respected – was leaving. Disappointing, but nothing like the shock one month later when, at a Friday debrief, it was announced that our CTO and the two other most senior engineers had also resigned.

> I remember that meeting, where I and two others remained at the table after everyone else had left the boardroom. “Shit” and “well this is fucked” was all we managed to say into the shocked silence, and I began to worry that I’d made a terrible mistake.

This was my experience, too. The company just released its v2 app and was having meetings finalizing an acquisition the first week I was there. Within 5 months, the engineering team I worked on went from 7-8 employees to 3, including the resignation of the CTO. It's going alright now, but it definitely was worrisome.

But where I live we still need AC, fan just allowed me to put it at 80 instead of 75.

I guess the Krebs naysayers were right?

The wording of this apology makes it pretty clear in my opinion that he's reacting to Ubiquiti lawyers.
What use has come from that?
I’m sure the CME a few hundred miles away is listening loud and clear and they certainly have a stake.
No, I mean a few GWs of stable power generators!
It is extremely location dependent. I don't have A/C, just use fans for a few days a year.
I disagree, but not in the technical sense. People have been talking about cookies since they were invented, so most people who’ve used a web browser know the word and have a vague sense that they’re used to store information on their computer, and are often used for tracking.

The fact is that “cookies” now has a colloquial meaning that’s different from the technical definition, and both meanings are valid.
> because they are subtly wrong in some ways

Well, they are now. Give it a year and we'll see.
But it's Europe's decision to effectively attack Russia that has caused the problem though. We could've just stayed neutral and opened NS2 and avoided any issues, whilst investing in nuclear power for the future.

There was no obligation to support the Ukrainian military, their refusal to allow for self-determination in the Donbass or their tenuous claim on the Crimea (arbitrarily transferred from Russia by the Bolsheviks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_Crimea_in_the_Sovi... ).
Funny, I was feeling the exact opposite. They could have just taken down the articles and issued no statement. It is hard to publicly admit that you're wrong and it's good to see they took that step.
This policy seems to only apply to content that they host. It appears that they don't intend to apply this policy to websites that they are only providing DDoS mitigation to, such as KiwiFarms.

Whether Cloudflare is hosting the content or mitigating DDoS attacks against it, they bear some responsibility for the content being accessible. I see no good reason for them to have different policies between their hosting and DDoS mitigation services if they actually care about not propagating the content they refuse to host.
Good thing the left is so supportive of the working class now lol
They dropped support for 8ch after successive terrorist attacks, one of which killed 50 innocent people. The CEO has stated that he regrets dropping them.
What I remember is that fact checkers mostly focusing on Trump’s frequent conflation of natural gas and all energy. He would often, either carelessly or deliberately misleadingly, say things like “60% of Germany’s energy comes from Russia” when it was actually 60% of Germany’s natural gas, and natural gas accounts for only around 20% of Germany’s total energy. That seems like a reasonable distinction for fact-checkers to highlight.
"Green" is a spent adjective at this point.

Nuclear is zero carbon, but not renewable, and is a source of non dispatchable baseload.

Solar and wind are both zero carbon and renewable, but not dispatchable and not a baseload source.

Solar and wind plus storage are zero carbon, renewable, and also a source of dispatchable baseload.
100% agreed!

My first thoughts when I saw DALL-E were, "Wow, I can't wait to matte paint with this!"

A texture here, something robot like here, some technical or magical doodads there. Smash them all together and even use img2img to blend things, then do the finishing touches and lighting by hand. It's so nice for speed "painting".

As a programmer, it honestly reminds me of the situation with Copilot.
Their point for not respecting verdicts is:

> Unfortunately, these cases are becoming more common where largely copyright holders are attempting to get a ruling in one jurisdiction and have it apply worldwide to terminate core Internet technology services and effectively wipe content offline. Again, we believe this is a dangerous precedent to set, placing the control of what content is allowed online in the hands of whatever jurisdiction is willing to be the most restrictive.

It is pretty hard to suggest that someone can sue Cloudflare in a random country with either a corrupt or weak judicial system (not saying that's the case here, but in general) then get it taken down globally. To add, taking things down in a single country might not be super effective with the way the internet works, and the court might see someone browsing from a VPN and claim that a geoip-based block is insufficient for compliance.

Although, I don't know the exact case you're referring to or if it's covered by this statement.
This is likely simply due to the fact that more homes have AC now:

... "By 1980 that number had risen to 63%, and in the 40 years since then air conditioning has grown exponentially and is now present in a whopping 95% of homes in the US according to the most recent US Census."
https://www.fixr.com/blog/2021/06/22/presence-of-air-conditi...

You might say that this is because we need it more now, but I think it's actually just that we can afford to install it now in every new home and so we do. It's just considered standard equipment.
My grandmother grew up just down the road from where she lives now. They didn't have electricity when she was little and remembers clearly working outdoors in the heat. Summers used to get cold enough that when they'd go fetch the cows in the morning they'd run barefoot through the grass to the back pasture and their feet would be so cold that they wanted to cramp and it was a race to see if you could get the cows up and moving (so you could stand in the warm spot from them sleeping) before your feet cramped up. A handful of nights a summer they'd sleep outside because it was too warm inside (there was a banked wood stove running of course) for comfortable sleep. It would be cold enough overnight that they still needed blankets outside.

Now its so hot that she can't imagine not having air-conditioning. An elderly woman (you know how they love the heat) that worked in the fields and cannery her entire life thinks its too hot outside.
An accurate but pretty lacklustre "mea culpa" and retraction. I don't mind people making mistakes, everyone does, but seeing how Krebs has handled this whole episode has not inspired optimism in how he'll handle future mistakes.

He was essentially used as an unwitting party in a cyber blackmail scheme, and he doesn't touch on that at all. There will continue to be nefarious parties trying to misuse his reputation, so long as he remains a popular cyber researcher. I wish he would show consciousness of that rather than simply saying "I was wrong."
> It's not at all surprising that Google's browser would choose ...

This is how all browsers have handled it, for as long as localStorage has existed. See, for example, this Firefox discussion from 2006: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341524
I'd have to move way North to be able to sleep OK without AC. Or maybe to a desert area with high elevation, for those nice, cold nights.

Discovering how much better I sleep when the temp is in the 62-66F range has made a big difference. I'd hate to go back to trying to sleep with temps over 68F, certainly. Over 72F and I basically can't sleep. I mean I'm sure I'd acclimate to some degree, but it's not like I was already used to sleeping in colder temps before I tried it, so I'm pretty sure that range is absolutely better for me, regardless of what I'm accustomed to or able to tolerate.
A few remarks here.

1) They did it. That's all that matters. We'll have to deal with that as a fact. Trying to use moral labels will not help anybody.

2) A top country screams theft. Meanwhile all the other country's including but not limited to China know that top country stole just as much when it wasn't at the top of the ladder. They can and will rightfully call the top country out not applying equal measures. Retweeting only half of the truth is hypocritical, they know it, and they'll use it to gain political advantage against the 1st world. It does not make us 'enlightened observers' simply for pointing this out.

3) While China is far from a beacon of human rights, this kind of tech transfer used to be the kickoff for more human rights in the countries where it happened. After Lieven Bouwens in Flanders etc there was massive worker abuse up to killing children in factories. Everybody knew things where blatantly unfair. The workers organized and demanded rights (The whole story about priest Daens in our history). I understand the US had its own Robber Barons, and a lot of western countrys have similar stories. Why would China be different?
Except this isn't a "we should record everyone's interactions to stop terrorism" it's "we should stop hosting propaganda for terrorists, especially when that cessation doesn't harm others (dropping hosting for their website does't impair other people's liberties, whereas spying on everyone's messages would)"
Cloudflare. It's in the TOS. They're not a utility, so yes, they get to decide.
The "need" for AC has to be subjective.

One century ago no-one had AC, and even today I suspect that billions of people live in hot climates without AC. Sure you may argue that some of them may not have running water or toilets, either, but I think AC has to be on the 'luxury' side of the scale and also something really 'needed' when people fight the local climate instead of adapting to it.

> Does it make sense to compare BB(n) against A333479(n)?

No, for proper comparison both should measure the argument size in bits.
That's why my top comment talks about the number of bits needed to encode an n-state TM in a straightforward manner.

So compare BB(n) with A333479(n*2*(2+ceil(log(n+1)))).
The population growth of the south and southwest came after AC.

>Economic interdependence is good to maintain peace.

False. Even before Ww2, European countries were still economically interdependent and yet still WW2 happened. What maintains peace is democratically elected leaders and separation of powers so that no single mad-man can ever singlehandedly turn a nation to war. That's why we had peace since WW2, democracy. Which Russia rever really had. So being dependent on countries with corrupt undemocratic governments where one leader can do whatever he feels like with no real opposition to stop him, was the real issue.
While I agree sugar addiction is a serious issue the USA (and much of the world) faces, caffeine and alcohol are both technically drugs :)
I don't think that's much of a revelation. Every time national security information falls into the hands of a news org, the government will ask them not to publish it. Sometimes appealing to them on civic grounds that it will weaken security or probably threatening legal action. The NY Times famously sat on the warrantless wiretapping story for nearly a year because they were lead to believe it could compromise ongoing investigations. Although it was never proven true, the Washington Times was accused of helping Osama bin Laden by revealing that US intelligence could track his satellite phone. In the US or UK media orgs generally has very little to fear in terms of actual punishment, but they do have to make a very real calculus over whether they're serving the public interest.

The Cantillon Effect and Credit Cards: The $257B Payments Mess
Unless your keys are generated with low entropy (like the Debian CVE-2008-0166), publishing the public key file should not be an issue; that's from a cryptographic pov.

& as bombcar said, obviously if you ignore "unknown host" warnings, you can be tricked into logging into an attacker-controlled machine.

Often key files also contain "user@host" for the user&host the key was generated by&on. This identifier is then leaked, and you might want to avoid that. On my personal (and very objective! /s) paranoia scale this a 8/10. I'd definitely point it out to a customer during a pentest, but wouldn't really care if they "fixed" this (most of the time there is a lot of stuff that's more serious than knowing that the devops person is 'bro2000@jims-laptop').
The negative value of a website being serviced by Cloudflare is usually significantly higher than the price they pay for the service.

How much do you think Cloudflare donated for the 3 suicides caused by Kiwi Farms in the recent years?
The weakness in the internet that allows for DDoS is that you can't tell your peers to filter incoming traffic on your behalf, so you need to discriminate on the edge. The attacker still gets to eat up your bandwidth and CPU time.
> I think one easy thing they could do, is stop hosting for forums dedicated to doxxing and harassing people

You are probably very aware of it, but just to highlight the importance of this for people who aren't aware: data duplication degrades the training and makes memorization (and therefore plagiarism, in the technical sense) more likely. For language models, this includes near-similarities, which I'd guess would extend to images.

I’m surprised it hasn’t been increasing faster. The US is in the midst of drive to replace heating systems of all kinds with more efficient heat pumps, with massive effort behind it, including restrictions on other kinds of heat, significant tax returns for upgrades of existing systems, etc… and they are lumping heat pumps into the figure.

> 88% of U.S. households use air conditioning (AC). Two-thirds of U.S. households use central AC or a central heat pump as their main AC equipment.
I think in "that region" WWII mentality is less persistent than in Russia, where they praise a guy (and country) who (which) killed more people.
My grandmother grew up without electricity--let alone AC.

Everything you just said is true, but it could also be simultaneously true that most of the drop was due to covid. The two are related in fact- structuring your whole health care system to maximize profit no matter what the side effects might be makes it brittle in the face of a pandemic.

Publishers are subverting users' reasonable expectations that the information they search and receive hits for on Google is publicly accessible—why else would it appear in search?

It's actually everyone's business because this creates a web that is less usable for everyone. If publishers were willing to commit and make their paid content server-side for customers only, they would have a stronger case against infringers.
Good comment. Unusual perhaps on HN (my cynicism again), I actually read it.

I mostly agree. You have a very good point and make it well.

Especially the part about how a better set of Twitter policies and enforcement against this kind of targeting could help to provide cover for hard hitting journalism and thereby contribute to positive impact by that journalism, helping change things for the better.

Fair enough, although then they could also ban Twitter as some countries do.

My main point was that aside from anything Twitter should do, he should also protect himself. The same point is valid in any of the other examples you listed. I won’t fly on a 737 MAX. I’m not going to work in a coal mine. Etc. Of course I will take some worthwhile risks, each one decided in context. All of us do.

Yes it would be good and helpful not just to this guy but to all journalism and to the general public who benefit from light being shone on stuff, for journalists, or anyone for that matter, to be shielded from this kind of nonsense. Even though it may be easier said than done, Twitter should try to do it to the extent that is workable.

They have lots of rules preventing an individual from harassing others. They don’t seem to have rules preventing an entire system of ideologically corrupt people from targeting a person who wants to call out corruption. Again it’s hard though, algorithmically and at scale.

In the meantime he should take steps to get free from that place.

> Danger is just standing over here swinging it's arms (and maybe moving around when you aren't looking), it's not dangers' fault of you get in it's way.

Absolutely. Of course if an unreasonable danger is intentionally or irresponsibly created by people, then those people are at fault, but the general situation in life is you don’t go around walking off buildings and wondering why there is no safety net. Yeah safety nets are great but they are not always practical. At scale, this safety net on Twitter is tremendously hard to do, although maybe they should make a special effort for problematic situations like zealotry and corruption.

I'm not sure I buy the premise of the title per se, but there is great foreign (as in non-American) candy out there. Not that that's surprising, as great food is everywhere.

I've noticed foreign sweets are a great way to encourage kids who might otherwise be averse to novel foods to trying things that are unfamiliar to them. Kids who would probably never try unfamiliar ingredient X will gladly try it if in a candy (I think a related phenomenon are "gross" candy flavors, like vomit-flavored jelly beans).
