Fascinating if true, though hardly a "root" cause. Overgrazing doesn't happen by itself, even TFA acknowledges that nationalization of the steppe by the Soviet Union in 1958 played a key role in the degradation of the ecosystem. But such nationalizations also didn't occur in a vacuum, the SU did so out of a variety of ideological and practical reasons.
FWIW, more debugging information in an IAM failure is another round of information available to me as an attacker. If such a service existed available to the customer this also becomes potentially available to an attacker. In fact, it may wind up violating a few companies’ security and compliance policies.

However, I think that customers should have the option once they sign some stuff acknowledging that they may be really, really screwed similar to Bad Things done as a root user in AWS.

Given the distributed nature of so many requests in AWS I’d imagine that a GraphQL-like setup would be conceptually compatible with such a system. It’s not terribly far from tracing systems like OTEL
Stupid analogy, but yes you'd actually live a bit longer if you drank it.
Shared responsibility is no responsibility.
Good to know but it's a bit too far for me
When politicians strive for ever greater surveillance powers they seem to always forget they are also potentially being watched. People always say this could never happen to them!

While I was always suspicious of using “Google” for any critical business purposes, I have also learnt that “Google” the search engine is different than “Google Cloud” the internal division within “Google” that runs GCP.

I am yet to see any examples of “Google Cloud” shutting down services on their own whim or not providing a human custom service agents.

I'm one of the blink API owners who would need to approve this feature if it were to ship in Chrome. I outlined some of my thoughts on this earlier here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/Ux5h_...

It's complex and nuanced, all about altering probabilities of various bad things and TBH work still needs to be done to prove a useful middle ground even exists.

But one thing I can say for sure is there's no way I'm approving Chrome adding a feature which makes it possible for websites to be viewed only in Chrome. Nobody wants that and it's listed as an explicit anti-goal of the feature. Chrome couldn't have existed in the first place without masquerading as Safari, who masqueraded as Netscape etc.., this is something we're all very aware of and committed to in Chrome as its core to the openness of the web.
No update since 2003?
I did, times a few. Went over my head. Cheers.
There was a discussion in MermaidJS community to move away from Slack into Discord. But we were thinking about moving to a FOSS platform instead.

What are some viable options that communities have had success with?
>I’m looking forward to an upcoming holiday so I can break this habit a little.

Please share your method.
Sure, maybe it played a part, but to say that overgrazing that started 50 years prior was the “root cause” turns quite the blind eye to the Arab Spring: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Spring
You clearly live in a bubble if you think that high level programmers need to know assembly to be productive.
Nothing wrong with a refresher. The details can get fuzzy after a decade or two if you don't think about it regularly.
You don’t pay this amount. Healthcare has a tendency to show a high price, then charge a much lower price to insurers. So no one is really paying this price.

So it’s like a Persian rug store where every rug has a $9000 price tag and then every customer pays $3000.
Bitumen is getting more and more expensive, so I guess unless it’s crazy expensive it’s just a matter of time..

We’re using increasingly less gasoline to drive cars a given distance. For EVs it’s essentially zero. So we refine less oil for fuel, which means we’re also getting less bitumen. Not hard to see that using bitumen is completely unsustainable in the long term.

I guess it depends on regulations/carbon credits related to CO2 emissions too
“We had a group of folks very committed to making it work,” he said. “We had to come up with technology that had never been used before.”

So, they built a $90m factory and moved staff there for a method that wasn’t even tested?
You're mixing up animal > human transmission, and zoonotic events. They are not equivalent. Human SARS spike protein RBD could bind palm civet ACE2, but not vice versa. Palm civets (and other animals) could act as reservoirs for human SARS, (as well as non-human SARS, which contributed to the zoonotic event), but that's not the same as a new virus jumping species. It's more like getting rabies from a raccoon.

It's possible that the original SARS jumped 3 times total, based on the genetic evidence, but the later two we don't really know because of the hinam -> animal route. Still, with the number of laboratory acquired infections of SARS-CoV-2, it doesn't really tip the scales.
This is, frankly, a surreal and almost unbelievable opinion to read on the internet in 2023. On HN of all places: although (almost) nothing surprises me any more, this sure did.
Uh? What are people drinking instead?
You discount the torture of scientific discovery.
> If there was a significant portion of the population with changed habits

It’s exceedingly hard to get people to change habits. That’s why people in this thread don’t believe it will be a realistic (timely enough) solution if left up to mere individual decisions and not forced by systemic changes.
Science would suggest the ferri-manganiferous deposits in some more clayey regions of Sceocabroc are to blame.
Just FYI, the RISC-V instruction encoding is considerably freakier than just about anything else you could be exploring except perhaps Thumb-2. They had good reasons to make it like that, but still, if you’re planning on reading hexdumps RISC-V is not going to go easy on you, even if it’s simple from most other angles.
That's not entirely surprising. The whole point of grafting is to clone the plant you're taking scion wood from. Are there any examples where choice of rootstock can affect things like flavor? I've heard of rootstock affecting things like vigor, disease resistance, and cold hardiness, but never anything like taste or psychoactivity.

That parenthetical "hopefully" is doing a lot of work. ;-)
Web version has editing. But app has search.
The scariest part of that thread is the many people saying that closing your eyes and yelling "zero-trust" means that you don't need to protect your devices from compromise.
Code is not just to perform tasks, at least not if we're talking about software engineering, rather than mere scripting.

Code is typically used to run a service running for a potentially long time leveraging hardware resources which are made accessible and shared with other processes through an operating system.

To ensure that the service runs well and doesn't hamper other services sharing those resources, you need at least high-level understanding of how the hardware and operating systems work.
The grammar corrections are multiplying as we speak
Great comment, thanks. We've tried to help her break out of it when it starts to kick off. What you said about addressing it at the point the feedback loop kicks in is kind of what we've been trying.

Sometimes it seems to actually work but the condition seems to adapt to any consistent mechanism to calm her down.
> But this is about the film version, though.

Yes, I meant "Nice" as in "it's nice that they went through the extra effort to release it in the rare, high quality medium available, and not a format that's worse than what I can watch at home".

> The original reason IMAX uses 70mm film (8.3x the area of 35mm) is because projecting onto a larger screen required a more powerful lamp

70mm is also much higher resolution. Modern digital can compete with 35mm, but to my knowledge there's nothing out there that competes with 70mm yet.
You can cut plants and fuse them just like that?
I guess 640K keys ought to be enough for anybody (TM)(r) (c)

More seriously, though, I wonder how AzureAD is implemented and how hard it would be to scope keys per tenant, if not per application. If I'm not mistaken, SAML certificates are per application.
Doesn't seem like you're actually disagreeing then, if systems design can apply just as well to a 'monolith' and it's often the better design.
Which is easier to secure? One big chicken coop, or many smaller chicken coops scattered across the ranch?
There's a reason all blueberry preserves, AFAIK, use the former. I can't imagine what the latter would taste like. Doesn't seem appealing. But I will also admit I have come across more flavorful batches of the latter, but still not preserve material.
Very similar to how you, as the person swatting the flies, generate enough energy for another to spontaneously emerge.
Depends on the group. For example, IKE was a protocol that passed by making everyone equally unhappy.

Check this thread, I've already provided some of the sources.

All those sectors you've mentioned are absolutely problem too. Animal ag is 15-26% of our carbon budget, depending on which source you'll pick. That's already bigger that cement, and almost all of transport.

But animal ag is not just the emissions alone, and not only cows. Just with afforestation potential (land use change of pastures) we'd be able to store our entire 1.5C carbon budget.

This is a short (and incomplete) list of impacts of (animal & industrial) agriculture. It's imho clear from this list that animal ag (which is 75-80% of all ag) is the major culprit.

- Greenhouse gas emissions

- Deforestation (40+% of pastures used to be forests)

- Land degradation

- Water pollution

- Water overconsumption

- Loss of biodiversity

- Antibiotic resistance

- Ocean dead zones

- Inefficient land and resource use

- Ethical concerns regarding animal welfare

- Zoonotic diseases

- Air pollution

- Eutrophication

- Soil erosion

- High energy consumption

- Chemical runoff from pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers

- Destruction of habitats and ecosystems

- Inequality in global food distribution

- Public health risks from foodborne illnesses

- Nutrient pollution

- Strain on waste management systems

- Overfishing (40-70% of plankton gone, sharks 90% gone, fish almost gone)

Russian fortifications present an old problem for Ukraine
I really want to be on the community's side here. But when I read

"I profit off Ansible as a downstream user, and I have never funneled a penny of that profit back to Red Hat. "

followed shortly after by

"As for me, I'm running Debian on all my servers now, and have donated to Debian's SPI. Support the open source communities and developers you rely on!"

I can't help but feel like there is some sort of disconnect here. Is the idea that a project that's backed by a company doesn't deserve support even if it provides free value to people outside the company, or is there some context I'm unaware of?
Before reading this, I didn't even know Apple had ever made a setop box before the more recent Apple TV.
If these assertions are surprising to readers, it is because the outpourings of Western military punditry have been so dismal: overly credulous of Ukrainian narratives, locked in a river of thinking that is outmoded, and exceedingly inclined to disparage or ignore obvious aspects of Russian military capability. In war it is perfectly sensible to lie to one’s enemy —indeed it is highly recommended; it is disastrous, though, to lie to oneself which, in fact, has been a main industry of the Western defence establishment for an unfortunately long time. Eventually, though, reality trumps wishful thinking and it is doing so now increasingly obviously on the Russian steppe.
Not in a literal sense. The article mentions T1 probably not because literally expecting literal T-1 service on coax, but because T-1 used to be used as a metric of bandwidth. It's 24 standard voice circuits (12 and 24 being traditional groupings for voice circuits). It's approximately 1.5 mbit/s.

This is about the minimum bandwidth required to make standard definition MPEG-1 video work. That was by design -- it was the bandwidth of a 1x CD-ROM drive or a T1 line.

The phone companies eventually did provision that much bandwidth to each home. And not that much long after. DSL at 1 mbit/s was around by 1997.
However, how does one run a successful spy operation where everything's done in the open?

The fundamental problem is the main adversaries the US faces (China, Russia, Iran & co) are not bound by open society rules. Since at least WW2, in trying to fight back against these dictatorial and at times totalitarian regimes, the US has itself become a bit like them. If you gaze long into an abyss...

More democratic oversight of US spy agencies is Xi's dream, it would mean they won't even have to do much spying because the US themselves would lay open all their intelligence agency work in plain sight in committees and public hearings.

So how do you balance the two, how to preserve freedom while fighting an enemy that feeds on this weakness? That is rarely ever discussed and democracies don't seem to have found good solutions to this dilemma at all. That is part of the reason why we're seeing ever more surveillance and overreach. Unless ways are found to build open societies more resilient to attacks, things are not going to change.

>There will be rampant nonpartisan corruption in the intelligence agencies targeting US politicians of all stripes.

That's never been the case in the history of unchecked power. We can argue if it's already the case or not but the loss of neutrality of these agencies is only a matter of time. There is no mechanism in place that would prevent it.
This is utter nonsense. "People in Africa eat less than you do so you have no right to feel hungry" levels of nonsense.
Io.js was a fork of Node right. A merge is not on cards here.
Isn't this sort of what Amazon Lightsail is? (Haven't actually used it, but am under the impression it abstracts away networking config).

I'll probably get downvoted, but isn't global addressing + firewalling basically available by creating a VPC with only public subnets, and using security groups as your firewall? (Best practice is public/private subnets with NAT gateways, but it's probably not impossible to rely only on security groups)
Microsoft, Google, Apple Amazon.

You can’t really avoid them.
The cornerstone of a fair tax system is to avoid double taxation. Most countries currently practice triple taxation - they tax personal income, they tax the same income again through taxes on consumption, and a third time through corporate tax. And then there are still countless other small taxes. A fair system would tax people once, on their earnings, and stop there.

So, to answer your question, there should be no corporate tax, and no VAT, if income tax is set at the correct level. It makes no sense for you, as an individual, to compare yourself to a corporation.
Yes, I'm well aware of this, but it's not really applicable to the point I'm making, because those pre-dated laboratories.
It's also nuts to me that we take senior engineers who have domain expertise in solving business problems, and thanks to "the cloud", I'm supposed to become DevOps/NetworkOps/SecOps and terraform my way to the perfect networking/firewall/cybersecurity/etc solution for my application.

It's not like the old sysadmins made 1/2 or 1/4 of my comp, and usually 1 of them managed enough hardware to cover 100 devs. So we are talking what, a 0.5% overhead for the rest of us to avoid mission creep & brain damage of this stuff?

Literal "Death of Expertise" here with AWS yet again.
Yes, it’s called grafting. My neighbor had a single tree which grew oranges, lemons, and limes using this.
bun is awesome! thanks for all the work.
I haven't been able to swap nodejs our for bun yet.

how's the compatibility with web frameworks? when will nextjs 13 be supported?
I don't believe in systemic changes coming on its own anymore. They will be forced by angry citizens, or not at all.

We've had 50+ years of climate change warnings, and nothing has really happened.

We're still not doing much... For example, the percentage of coal consumption is still around 82%, even after minor advancements in renewable sources.

Nobody at the political level is even talking about the need for a reduction in meat consumption, despite scientists being very vocal about this.

I simply feel that this is something that has to come (could come) from "down below."
Pretty tedious work though. I'd far rather feel I was actually doing useful work instead of dealing with this stupid crap.
But then your PMs and all stakeholders need to have github accounts.

I'm not good with generative AI. I always make acid trip soup. Is there a version of this where I can drop photos of my face and have it generate variations of me? Preferably a SFW version because I'm more curious about the level of difficulty in generation than becoming internet trash.
locate is much slower than Everything and it also has a much less powerful query language. With Everything you usually get results in way less than 100ms, whereas with locate it's several hundred milliseconds for a database with more than a million files.
Wait, who decided all software is now Entreprise Edition (EE (tm)) focused?
For some APIs they return encrypted payloads with actually useful debugging info in, but there seem to be plenty where you just end up in a black hole of "computer says no"
In the video the CTO is stacking up the pros, like it is safer to handle and the Russians. Usually when that happens, there is a catch.

Nevertheless, I think we are way beyond to compare on price like this and should include the footprint into the cost.
They do this with iPads without need ing too many SKUs.

And the iPad is less of a general market device than a MacBook with cellular would be!

I’m intrigued why you say this as my impression was that RISC-V coding was very straightforward.
It is a basic tenant of society not to cross the line and just give money or support to a project that is basically owned by a company, we have other structures for this that don't result in some company being able to launder donations into profit and a commercial asset.

We don't really have the legal system to prevent the problems that inevitably arise like commercial buyouts or stock holders demanding a company behave as the for-profit it is.
I have one with three different types of pears
I have a love/hate relationship with AWS's Kinesis Client Library.

In one of our implementations, we use the `amazon_kcl_helper.py` script (python) to download and configure the KCL Multilang Daemon (a java application) which calls out to our application (a golang binary) via STDIN/STDOUT.

And honestly, it's fine. The Multilang Daemon manages shard ownership, spins up one binary per shard, fetches records, passes them to the binary, updates checkpoints, etc. Our binary just focuses on our actual application logic. And the python script does a good job of setting everything up.

It just feels wild to involve all three.
This sort of gatekeeping is the kind of reason why a lot of people are put off by engineers - "oh, you don't know X? You're clearly not a software engineer".

There's a reason abstraction layers exist, perhaps you should try and figure out why your mental model of software does not account for that.
My comment actually came from a place of empathy. With this comment though, I will be openly snarky when I say that you've now contributed to the art piece.
Yeah this has been my observation.

CTOs bought the "fire all your sysadmins" literally, and now we have a 20% overhead on all app devs who are supposed to learn all this stuff.

It's crazy to me. It's literally the opposite of every management training / book about focussing on highest value work / where you add value / where you provide expertise.
Arab Spring apparently was augmented by food scarcity, too:

Damn, I thought that making DiffuserAST is smart but sampler based on typescript closures might be much easier to implement. Gotta try this.
Also, many of them were too busy doing repetitive tasks and didn't have time to innovate. Technology freed us from many of the repetitive tasks that were required for survival, so we have more available brain time. Also, improved communication helps us avoid wasting time discovering the same thing over and over.

Medieval peasants had the same brain as we have, but without proper education, limited comfort and material means, days spent working the land, and slow and limited communication, no wonder much findings came of them. And because they didn't have the tools we have today, a lot of peasants were needed to keep the general population fed. Only the higher classes had the means to conduct proper research.

Today, at least in developed countries, it is like all of us, including farmers are "high class". We all have access to knowledge, instant worldwide communication, and some level of comfort. Repetitive, draining jobs are still a thing, but on a global population level, we need less of them for survival. Not everyone is a genius, but we have a much greater pool of available geniuses, and their abilities are better exploited.
Another useful Google search trick not mentioned in the article is numeric range queries.

You can use two numbers separated by two dots to represent all numbers in the range.

For example, a search for

taki 100..200

gives me results for taki 183.

This is useful when you can't remember an exact year or number.
I see my desktop at least weekly, but only because I shut down my computer on the weekends I’m not on call. I can’t remember the last time I used it to open anything, regardless of the OS. I use the taskbar/dock, and the start menu/search function to open via the GUI. Otherwise, everything opens from the CLI.
Right. It was also popular in some Arabic language countries and South America at the very least.

Probably more correct to say it was a computer standard launched in Japan.
> For most of their lives cattle in the U.S. are raised on land that isn't suitable for farming, and only get fed soy or corn-based feed in their last few weeks to fatten them prior to slaughter.

Can the land that is used to grow feed crop (soy, corn) be used to be used to grow other things that humans can eat directly? Or can the soy or corn be used by humans directly as opposed to the 'intermediary' of cattle?

If the 'cattle land' be used for other animals that are more efficient (?) in turning plants into protein? (Chicken, pigs, goats, sheep, etc.)
