First, yes. They (the small providers) have recourse, it’s just annoying. They voluntarily signed up for that annoyance because of their ideology.

But much more importantly, that question is orthogonal to my argument. Using blocklists is a good way to cut down on spam, the fact that it might block some trivial percentage of people who for ideological reasons might or might not be on those lists isn’t the receivers problem.

You want this to not be the case? Contribute meaningfully to solving the problem in a more effective way. Don’t blame the people who just don’t want the spam.

"Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction."

First sentence of the definition on Wikipedia. What do you believe retaliation means in this context? If your consequence is a rebuttal or criticism, I have said nothing. Otherwise you are just wrong.
Good point. EV can be more convenient, and plug-in hybrid gives you a choice you might not have had, otherwise.
You can build the engine within 15 minutes? That doesn't sound right, unless you've got 32/+ cores and a LOT of RAM. Dunno what a P620 is, so that may be the case.
No EV has 500 km range when you drive it in real world conditions. If you drive it with normal highway speed - 140-160 km/h you can barely get 250.

Show HN: CancerDB: A public domain CSV file to help build a cure
Hi HN! I started working in Cancer Research at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center 4.5 years ago in March 2018.

If you thought programming and computers were complex, WAIT until you start trying to wrap your head around cancer. We're talking Orders of Magnitude more complexity.

I know it might seem outrageous that a lowly CSV file will help in the quest to build a cure, but I truly believe it might. I think what seems like miracles always comes down to grunt data collection, with a few moments of key insights.

Anyway, the site will launch November 1st. Please give it a star and a share (and/or even a pull request!) between now and then.

Thank you to everyone for your help. Thank you in particular to the fine folks at the University of Hawai'i Cancer Center!

I am there right now at my desk. Thanks especially to John Shepherd (https://shepherdresearchlab.org/about/our-team/john-shepherd...) who let me keep my desk here and books here and keycard access even though I stopped working here years ago!

Thank you for not letting them "Fix the Glitch" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUE0PPQI3is).

Let's get to work building that CSV file!

Thanks for raising this issue—as you point out, it's often ignored—but I'd posit it's even worse than you (and others on this thread) indicate.

When the issue is framed at all, it's usually boiled down to "landlords won't want to install chargers in the apartment garages" with the possible counterpoint of "demand will force them to" or there will be subsidies or etc etc.

But there are vast, vast numbers of people whose permanent parking situation is literally "on the street in front of my building"... or down the block... or around the corner... or wherever there's a spot free. This poses two tremendous difficulties for EV adoption. First, now we're talking not just about upgrading an electrical supply and mounting a new outlet; to bring overnight charging to street parking we'd need to dig up and re-lay concrete and asphalt. Second, people already grumble about "someone took my spot" and get a lot louder about it when there's something dedicated about the spot (google "Chicago dibs" for some serious rage on this topic) and if some-but-not-all of the street spots have charging stations, you better believe the fights over them will be epic, neighbourhood-destroying affairs.

Street parking is a central problem for anyone pushing widespread EV adoption. It can't be driven purely from consumer demand.

ETA: Can someone who spends a lot of time in California tell me if there's a lot of overnight street parking there? Because I've suspected that there isn't and that that's why this gets overlooked, but there might be some other reason.
Are the big tech email servers truly not used for spam at all? Because if they are, shouldn't they be permabanning each other as hard as they ban the little guy?

Clearly they're using different rules against each other than against small email servers, and I think that's all the evidence you need to get the EU to take action here.

The secret to winning against spam while only needing a basic spam filter is to buy your own domain, setup a redirect/alias for *@yourdomain.com, and use multiple addresses.

When you start receiving spam on an address burn it and setup a rule to move all email it receives to spam. This has the dual benefit of letting you know who sold your email (or got compromised).

I personally use Fastmail, but this should all be possible relatively easily with your own mail server as well.

I think a tax on certain sectors can work fine. Especially those sectors with no other options, and that must simply pay to extract the CO2 from the atmosphere that they put into it. However, an economy-wide tax ignores the differing amounts of technological development difficulty, access to capital, and political influence that varies so widely between sectors.

So a carbon tax on electricity generation sources works ok to incentivize a switch and internalize the externalities, but it's pretty equivalent to the general ITC/PTC subsidies that have recently been passed, with the exception that they are sector specific.

An economy wide carbon tax does almost nothing to incentivize decarbonization of steel or concrete, as the tech isn't there, nobody has spare money to invest in a solution, and the tax wouldn't necessarily increase the price of end products much. They need very specific industrial policy in these sectors to develop alternatives and put them into production.

Finally a carbon tax creates an entirely unified political coalition, across many sectors of the economy, to oppose the tax. So setting the tax at a level that is right to incentivize change is guaranteed to be nearly impossible, because od the breadth and political strength of the opposition to it. Specific carrots and sticks for each sector are what can drive real change in each sector.

If it was 1980, I'd be supporting a carbon tax. But we need to move far more quickly now to change our economic production systems than a carbon tax could ever conceivably achieve.

That’s not what racketeering is. In order to be racketeering it must be extortative, fraudulent, or otherwise illegal. Your definition would make PG&E guilty of racketeering, which they are not. Selling fire insurance is also not racketeering.

Then you are not getting 5G. In FR1 (sub 6GHz), we are not going to get much advantage. In the end, there is a limit of data you can send per Hz. This is not increasing from 4G to 5G (yes, you can use higher coding mechanism, but that's only for short distance, otherwise noise impact negates all advantages). To get the higher bandwidth as predicted and expected, industry has to move to FR2 (24GHz+/mmWave, I don't want to go into the discussions that mmWave starts at later band, the difference is statistical error).
To support mmWave, standards bodies defined new standards/adopted technologies like beam forming, higher matrix antennas etc. And thats really a difference in 5G from 4G standards releases (along with cloud native core network with more simplistic IP routing and use of polar codes for control plane). In 6G, we are going to see Tera Hz band allocated for mobile network.
Saying mmWave is not 5G is not accurate. You would not have needed 1000s of pages of standards for FR1, with little enhancement, LTE would have supported.

AIUI it is, but that's achievable with generic setups (using OpenPGP for encryption, often GnuPG) and between any mail servers as well, in a standardized way. I think the ProtonMail's argument is that they make it the default for communication between their clients, while OpenPGP is not used commonly. But to benefit from that, all the involved users should use ProtonMail, which is contrary to decentralization.

It is absolutely wild how many existing users of HN or hijacked accounts or gullible people just keep defending this website on here. Or you have bad faith actors coordinating "I don't know the website but..." Posts. You even can see coordinated down voted comments that get grayed out that have reasonable opinions.

What is even happening here? Why doesn't anyone else see it?

People died. People have been driven to death. The people of this place know what they did. They know not to keep things centralized. To do harassment in a multi pronged off site method. That isn't evidence of innocence when you can't find posts on there anymore.

Alright, I see your point. My idea was to create a second article or part 2 with some more practical work using MOGAs if there was any interest. But I can see the benefit of adding a simple example here too.
I've looked into the repo and it seems to download sbcl-1.2.11 as the bootstrapping compiler for x86_64. That is exactly what doesn't work on my machine (macOS 12, x86_64). The problem is getting a bootstrapping compiler that works on that platform.
There are a few little details elided.

Pastoral lands are pastoral, and not arable, usually because they are not suitable for arable cropping. There is either too little rainfall, or the wrong kind/timing of rainfall, or the soils are wrong. For rainfall reasons forests are out too.

Articles that go on about how ${large_number} percent of the world's non-desert, non-mountain, non-arctic land is used for grazing animals, all omit these inconvenient facts.

The "Sand Hills" region in Nebraska is typical. Dry, could in theory support arable farming, for a while, by drawing down the Ogallala aquifer. But for the fact that that the soil is just sand, and it doesn't give good crop yields. Pouring on the amounts of fertilizer that would be required for cropping would poison the aquifer for everyone else. (In the Sand Hills, the aquifer is highly connected to the surface because of the porosity of the, er, sand.)

Leaving these pastoral lands fallow (without herds of wild ruminants, with their global warming emissions) would just result in continual grass fires.

That said, feeding ruminant animals grains (soy, maize/corn, wheat) is a Bad Idea environmentally as far as I can tell. So is bulldozing the Amazon rainforest to grow soy and cattle. And it might be a Good Idea to re-wild quite a bit of pastoral land. I don't know. Persuading people to leave money on the table is difficult.[1]

I feel Wikipedia has one really good project that really doesn’t need that much money and have felt no need to throw swathes of cash at wikis administration. Wikimedia could have a tenth of the money it has now and still be functional.
> You have to deal with thousands more requirements (and you cannot generally tell customer to do something else instead, as you can with internal teams).

You can. AWS started with S3 when everyone was using databases. As long as it’s cheaper than its competition, single use-case (you won’t serve a website on these) has a market.
The sober answer is that if you are living a 'regular' middle-class life in the developed world, your C02 emissions are likely far far above sustainable thresholds as set by the UN. As such buying a new phone before the old one has completely died out is too big of an environmental cost.
>you are completely wrong in your gratuitous comment about SV bros

GP is wrong, yes. I'd extend it beyond SV bros to US middle class at large. US pay scales are ridiculously high compared to the rest of the world for a cost of living on average that doesn't seem as high unless it's really in the big expensive cities.
These feel like 'snapshotty' questions, whereas in my experience you want to know things are moving in the right direction. I.e. a company could be doing the right things, but just got taken over and those right things are slowly degrading. Or doing a load of wrong things, but working really hard to change that.

It is very hard to tell what it is like working for a company from an interview. And things change, who you speak to there might be fired/leave in 3 months and it's a different scenario. I've seen this.

That said real red flags in my opinion:

* The company is about to be taken over - generally that is gonna be bad for a software developer or any non-lawyer kind of role really.

* The company is struggling with cashflow

* The company has fired a lot of people recently.

* Unclear job spec.

* Disorganised or overly burdensome interview process.

* Strong bad gut feel about the people.

* Crappy office - for your definition of crap, (even if you are the WFH...)

* Secretive companies - avoid the trade-secrets obsessed "need to know basis" kind of affairs.

* Sexism, etc.
It sounds like it, coming to the tail end of summer and there is over 70% remaining.
Velomobiles exist. The rotovelo is probably the closest to being designed for massproductio , but it's still about 3x that target.

But 30mph is too much for dedicated bike infrastructure and is just turning them into roads (although I support LEVs and LEV only zones, they're still not bicycles). 15-20mph is a human scaled speed limit where interactions are far less likely to cause accidents and impact energy is low enough to rarely cause major injury. It also makes enough battery for range trivial and makes the vehicles that become status quo far lighter and less dangerous.
I think it is a lot harder to believe that when you are on the other end of that expectancy.
To add some confusion, the “nth generation” features have been described by the International Telecommunication Union (e.g. IMT-2020 for the 5th gen), while the standards are developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project. Previously the standards had their own names (UMTS in 3G, LTE in 4G) but now the 3GPP is labeling their current releases of standards “5G” too, and yeah they include some concepts that go back even to 3G.

"If we manage to put together a working processor, supporting hardware, OS, and possibly ad-hoc programming language, our next step is to also develop a bunch of web services to provide cloud hosting services."

Not very credible. As if the key to offer competing cloud hosting services is developing the whole hardware and software stack.
It's a TERRIBLE analogy! IKEA is, if anything, an analogy for setting things up yourself, that's it.
I for real love work from home. Been doing it for three years now.
It's a matching process. If you as the employer feel this way, and the candidate feels these things are important, you're not right for each other. That's an appropriate thing to discover in an interview.

Personally, I work at an engineering-first company where management takes fairly seriously its task of providing us with a comfortable and productive environment. In this labor market, I wouldn't work somewhere that wanted me to be a "team player" about a shitty computer or micromanage my tasks. There are things to be a team player about, of course, but not the basic tools and structures for even beginning to get work done.
You're absolutely right, I had initially understood that revmsg with the MSG_PEEK flag was concurrently accessing GC data structures and presumably corrupting them.

Instead yes, this is essentially a logic bug in the presence of concurrency, and no programming language can help with those. It would have happened just as well with Software Transactional Memory or with Erlang message passing.
> What else can we do?

Basically nothing. We are living in a simulation of "rule of the people". But the system is built so that basically nothing changes for those with actual power.

Call my a disillusioned cynic but I believe democracy is the theatrical play that is being performed to make us believe we have some bit of influence.

> But even when such grass roots campaigns were successful, the same proposal would just return at most a few years later and the grass roots oppositions would get tired of trying to stop them.

If such things succeed they are an anomaly and the system over time evolves to find ways to ensure this firm of influence from the popolus will cease to exist. The current iteration you describe is crude but effective.

My idealistic heart would love for a way out that actually had a chance of success, but I just can't see it.
Dedicated infrastructure and sane speeds solve this problem neatly.
As a c++ dev, I don't understand how anyone could ever tolerate a 1 minute compile-edit-run cycle. If it takes more than a couple seconds on my projects I start investigating build & launch times immediately; the productivity gained by fast iteration times is honestly exponential

Do you plan to buy a car? A car loan will establish your credit history. Car lenders will lend to anyone because they can always repossess the car.

If you could buy a car with cash, take out a auto loan at any interest rate. Pay off the entire balance except $1. You’ll have no balance due each month, but each payment will be recorded as having been made on time. Then pay off the last $1 in the last month.

Double check to whether this actually works, I haven’t done it and I’m just regurgitating something I saw in Reddit. Also make sure there’s no sort of prepayment penalty on the loan.
All my incoming email goes to mailgun, which then forwards it to gmail. It's a so-so solution; it's cheap, extremely simple, and has catchall by default.

The big problem with this, is that gmail considers all messages forwarded to it as coming form the forwarder, not the original sender, and therefore spam harms the reputation of the forwarding domain.

But I don't understand how to configure mailgun to relay messages to gmail instead of forwarding them? Can you explain?
What's your advise in this case?

The same as any case involving legal matters - talk to a qualified attorney who is licensed to practice in your state. This gets complicated because an MOU may or may not be a legally binding contract, depending on some details[1]. And knowing all the ins and outs of those details is exactly what actual lawyers get paid for.
