> Living in a draft proof, highly insulated home with mechanical air filtration and heat recovery, driving an EV that’s powered by the roof of your house doesn’t sound like any kind of worse life to me.

The problem is that even if everyone did that it wouldn't come close to reaching net zero. Personal transportation, electricity use and heating are a fraction of the total emissions. Transportation, electricity and heating for commercial and industrial sectors are much larger and then you need to add on top of that direct emissions by industry and agriculture. So a lot of what people are arguing for when they say they want to cut emissions is a reduction in industry, agriculture and commerce which would indeed make life much worse for everyone.
No it doesn't scare me, they did the right thing and they had I think very strong reasons for doing so. They knew that the policy was safe because the risks of the vaccines evaluated in trials were very low, and they had many very good reasons based on experience from other infectious diseases as to what the outcome would be.

They were in a situation where thousands, at times tens of thousands of people were dying every day. If you know a policy is very safe (not perfectly safe, not completely risk free, but known to be very low risk), and you know that the highly likely benefits are very high and are expected to save many many thousands of lives, why should I be scared of them implementing it? Genuinely, I just don't understand that attitude at all. It makes no sense to me. You look at the evidence and the risks and you make a decision. In this case I think it was a very easy one and huge numbers of people all over the world are alive now because of it.

Meanwhile a lot of people are dead because they believed partial, misrepresented or incorrect information about the vaccines. Doesn't it scare you that people were spreading so much disinformation that was responsible for so many deaths? That excessive skepticism and distrust, based on simple lack of careful evaluation of widely available facts, was so incredibly destructive?
I’ve had a similar issue and it was/is driving me crazy.

Plugging into a SonnetTech TB4 Echo5 dock ocassionaly makes the stream freeze. I actually wrote to them a support message and they were detailed in the response, but we didn’t manage to resolve it. If it’s of any help here’s their response. https://pastebin.com/qbmZH65n

Plugging into MacBook using the official “AV display adapter” (as a USB to USB-C adapter) works steady, both at 1080p 60fps and 4k30fps.

But shockingly - I plugged the AV display adapter with the cam link dongle into the back of my Pro Display XDR, and it’s also working fine at 1080p60fps. That’s surprising since that thing is a usb hub, but also afaik it’s a USB 2.0 hub! I imagine it’s due to the XDR display being 6k and needing lots of TB bandwidth, so I’m still surprised it works steady via the USB-C Usb 2.0 hub in the back of my Pro Display XDR.

You might find yourself surprised at how many of these smaller cities are good to visit for no particular reason! Indianapolis does have more than just little ethnic restaurants in strip malls. Of course, you may run out of things to see and do there sooner than you would in NYC, but who really has time to travel that much, anyway? ;-)

You have a point about needing a car in any number of such smaller cities in America, but even in those places there is a central core that remains relatively walkable.

Yes, in theory around 40% -> 50%, with it fluctuating over time.

However in practice imported electronics tend to cost up to about 100% then their original price abroad for several reasons, usually but not exclusively related to difficulties in 3rd world countries e.g. bribes necessary to get the shipment, insurance over shipment theft, margin risk due to volatile forex, etc

For example, atm an iPhone 14 costs 800 USD in the US Apple Store and 7600 Brazilian Reais in the Brazilian one. With the current exchange rate at ~5.20, that's around 80% more. Not that bad actually, that ratio has been worse in the past.
They would have to spend a LOT more to go bell labs. Until now they spend way too little to achieve anything. And for companies like Google have real managers for those groups instead of people only good at optimizing metrics.
First, thanks for caring and taking your job seriously even though you are an "intern". You are already miles ahead of many people who couldn't care less. You will do great in your career with this attitude

Now, may be it will go smooth, may be it won't. Either way, it won't be your fault because you are an intern and the worst they can do is to fire you which is not so bad even though you may think that it is. Best, your boss probably has done this before and knows that its no biggie. If shit hits the fan, other people will get involved.

In case that you are the one "Responsible", use that as an opportunity to shine and show it to senior management. If things go bad, tell management "This is a great learning experience for me as an intern". When people find out that you are an inter, expectations will change.

One lesson learned for you: When your boss leaves something in your "capable" hands, ask these questions BEFORE they leave. Make sure you understand what's expected of you especially if things go wrong (they usually do with major updates).

You will do fine.

The question is how we can keep our own countries from going down similar routes?

> Firstly, because this is a civil matter and not a criminal one, there is no protection against double jeopardy. He can keep getting sued over and over for the same thing.

Not by the same people, though. If he damaged ten people, he might owe damages to each of those ten people. That doesn't sound like a problem to me.

> Second, fining someone a billion dollars is just ludicrous.

It seems like your argument is that the sum is simply too large, and that the specifics of the case are irrelevant.

This seems dangerous to me. If someone does actually cause that amount of damage, why should they not be civilly liable? Surely it depends on the specifics of the case to determine if they did cause that much damage or not?

Otherwise, does everyone just get to cause as much damage as they like but have a cap on what they are held responsible for? That doesn't seem right to me. If someone wants to get involved in a course of conduct which can cause terrible damages to others, then they should also be responsible for that.
Famous people say a lot of things and any random advice coming from an authoritative figure is not guaranted to be insightful. On top of that quotes are massively taken out of context and misattributed (this one probably is)

IT Audit/Governance manager here. This is still a very common preventative/detective control in many businesses even outside of Financial Services, so much so that it is taught as part of many IT governance certifications such as the ISC2 CISSP and ISACA CISA.

Although the provenance of the control is to deter and detect fraud, it also helps to highlight key-person dependencies (where a process cannot run without a specific individual present). On the flip-side, humans are very innovative creatures and you can use this control to identify where someone has found a way to bypass parts of the process (the process time suddenly increases a lot when someone in the team is on their mandatory-vaykay, or the quality suddently drops).

I also see it used in smaller companies by bosses who want to simulate the effects of a person quitting, and how confident the rest of the team are to take over the running of a task.

How to urgently contact WhatsApp engineer? Badly affected by forced update failu
Ask HN: How to urgently get in touch with Whatsapp engineer? Adversely affected by the failure of Whatsapp forced update, which caused a lock out.

What is the best way to urgently get in touch with an engineer at Whatsapp?

They forced an app update again at Whatsapp, to add minor features for the iOS app, and they also use a block screen that blocks you from viewing your messages to force you to update the app.

So far, the past few forced updates have been fine and the block screen gets resolved. But this time the update did not work. There seems to be no available proper way to remove the block screen to access messages.

Now I am completely locked out of years of messages and the important people that I need to contact *urgently* today, by the block screen that says that Whatsapp has "expired" right now.

Will probably need help from an engineer at Whatsapp to resolve this issue. Urgently.

-----

For the future, Whatsapp engineers, please do this:

1. Please create a way to back up the data from the app into a computer via bluetooth transfer or airdrop transfer. People send private personal photos on whatsapp that should never be put on icloud or whichever android cloud.

2. If you want to force people to update the app, please ensure and guarantee proper backward compatibility. If you don't want that responsibility, then please do not force people to update the app and please do not use a block screen to force that.

3. Please stop using the forced block screen for the forced updates, unless you ensure and gurantee that the force update will always works on all devices, which will become less likely than not over the years. Locking people out of years of messages is just plain bad. People should always be able to view their messages stored on their own phone, especially when the storage on the phone itself.

My understanding has been that forums aren't dead -- the centralized, fast-food version of the forum, reddit has just won out for the usual reasons.

What sets HN apart is it's moderation/curation. It feels like the HN hivemind is still smarter than me so I learn a bunch when I'm here, and people try to argue in good faith so that's good too. Creating and maintaining such an atmosphere (and getting your users to reinforce it) is hard.

While this might inflict short term pain to the chinese chip industry, it gives huge incentives to their indigenous chip industry to develop their own capabilities. It costs a lot of R&D to do so, and when western off-the-shelf chips are available, there's no profit motive to make such R&D (which has been CCP funded).

So i think this may be a mistake in the very long run - the profits are denied to the western chip makers, and such profits are necessary for continued investment and innovation; and secondarily, sanctions like this will give a massive incentive for indigenous industry development. If successful, their competitiveness is going to be higher than that of the US & west's.

Even in large companies, work is done by teams and those teams are susceptible to this problem as well.

That's a very simplified argument as well. Technological interventions are also often good. Medicine intervenes with the natural course of disease and deformity and more often than not produces better outcomes than if we let nature take its course. Agriculture is technology applied to the growth of plants and animals and has eliminated famine in the West for over a century and is quickly eliminating it around the world. You can't just say that human intervention = bad.

By case:

(1.A) Yes. As I said in another comment, though, it turns out that in the limited research that's been done, the average person is somewhat better at doing the job than the average career politician. The argument is that the sort of person who wants to be a career-politician is uniquely unsuited to actually running a government.

(1.B) The civil servants should be randomly rotated.

(2) There's normally a mechanism to preselect a pool of applicants. Universal sortition is interesting, but has drawbacks. I am drawn to a nomination mechanism: you have to get enough (unique) nominations before you're allowed in the sortition pool.

Welcome to Delphi 1. My first job was using Delphi and it was 1.0 we used to do most of the dev till we managed to go 32bit (circa 1998) and the IDE had absolutely no autocompletion nor did it have any suggestions. You needed to know what you were typing. I think it was Delphi 3 that introduced Borland's version of code completion (I want to say it was called "Code Sense", but that might be the Microsoft tools.) Even that was terrible till Delphi 5.

I think a lot of modern coders really forget how much you used to need to know. Even stuff like "jump to definition" wasn't a thing IIRC back then.
Thanks, this looks like it could form the base of what I'd like.
