Exercise, being non-sedentary, is definitely critical. I work from home, so to start I switch it up with a standing desk half the time and also try to work from multiple places throughout the house.

I do a light routine 3-4x a week. I also keep a pull-up bar a few feet from my desk and hit it all day, along with a couple minutes of pushups/squats/etc during some work breaks. Keeping up with it can be extremely hard due to ADHD and some external life factors. This includes flexibility training. Just about the only thing I don't do is run often, due to chronic sciatica and flat feet. Still having a hard time with my weight because apparently a chronic lack of sleep can cause your daily fat loss to cut in half or more. [0] I'm already eating around 1500 calories a day and still at a weight plateau. I do take vitamins. But the exercise still helps, endorphins are great.

Any suggestions? What works for you?

Yeah, it would be very hard to entirely wipe out human civilization in any form, even in the worst of scenarios; but I expect that the world as we know it today will seem like a lost paradise compared to the one I will leave when I die.
It's not the same situation: 1. People won't be charging EVs on board. 2. BEVs have proper battery management system with temperature monitoring and active cooling, not some DIY hack.

But lithium fires, if they start, can be nasty, so I'm not surprised the insurance doesn't like it.

I've been programming for almost 40 years. Even majored in CS for a while, thinking I'd be a professional programmer. Every time I read about some new Javascript library or the latest microservices etc, I'm glad I went a different route. I probably write a lot more code today than I would as a software developer and I don't have to keep up with that stuff.

It's the being kept without food for more than 24 hours and the being put into the cold which constitutes the tortue. It's got nothing to do with his background. Any of the other prisoners who were subjected to the same were also tortured.
July CST-100 issues, announced right before a CREWed mission:

* parachute "load limit data wasn’t correct and restest showed failure at a loading point"
* wiring tape "flammable and will need to be replaced"
* thrusters again: "Boeing also found more valve problems on the Crewed Flight Test capsule, as they were getting ready to load propellants onboard."

These are all serious human safety issues; any could be fatal. If I worked at NASA, I'd ask for gold plated resolution of these before an astronaut goes near CST-100.

> And as we know they're the only countries with radar and observation abilities.

They're not? Are you implying that by pointing out one event I'm explicitly excluding the possibility of others? Not sure that follows.

> This is nothing new. There's plenty of "stuff" that can get tagged as a UAP/UFO/Whatever. None of it has turned out to be aliens.

Depends on who you ask, which was kin of my entire point. There is tons of evidence, what missing is provenance.

> We've also got reports of dragons, krakens, bigfoot, the lochness, ghosts, psychic powers, and magic. Hell there's a couple of rather popular books talking about all sorts of phenomena like talking burning bushes, parting the sea, and walking on water.

Again, the was my point. I wasn't saying "here is all the 100% proven evidence". I was saying "there is no evidence" is an inaccurate statement.

> No, it just isn't. HARD EVIDENCE does not exist

There is plenty of material, with plenty of seals of approval, just not from the U.S. gov.

> Software that gets frequent updates isn't "mature and stable" by definition. It's constantly changing.

That's simply not universally true and it's incredibly naïve to try and assert that it is. Obviously there are examples of immature unstable software that receives monthly updates, but it's not a tautology that monthly updates imply immaturity. You either don't work in software or haven't really thought this through.

Stable means the software run reliably without major issues and mature means it is a solution well adapted to the problem domain and solves a problem with grace, tried and true. Monthly updates might be "integrate support for new technology/service (that didn't exist 6 months ago)" or "support latest changes in macOS 14" or even "fix issue that happens 0.01% of the time". Other software changes and you have to adapt, and no software ships bug free. Being mature and stable means you have the time to work on things that aren't existential for your product/business, like adding convenient support for some sexy new service as a nice value bump or making sure those 0.01% of your users aren't occasionally encountering an annoying or frustrating issue.
Frankly I trust Mozilla's governance even less than Google's. They took an amazing product (Phoenix) and mismanaged it into irrelevance.

If there were a good browser run by a different nonprofit org, I would support that.
Even taking your (really flawed) comparison, there's a huge difference. With TLS the servers (the ones being attested) can trivially avoid tls if they so want - web browsers still support http, after all.

In WEI, the users (the ones being attested) _cannot_ avoid WEI. If a website decides to not allow an unattested user, they can simply decide to refuse access.

Then this change doesn’t impact you. There’s no indication 1Password have any interest in back-porting analytics to older versions of 1Password.

> Your question is like asking why it bothers me that all my neighbors have Ring doorbells now recording my walks…

No, my question is quite simple. Either you trust the entire 1Password client or you don’t. Telemetry might change a persons stance on that trust, but holding up the boogy man CIA as reason for not liking telemetry is ridiculous. If the CIA could and wanted to force 1Password to hand over your encrypted data, then not having telemetry isn’t going to slow them down.

If your argument is you don’t like telemetry, full stop. Then make that argument. Throwing in FUD about shady CIA activities does more to undermine your argument than strengthen it.

That is... a gross simplification. There is a cost of living. If you include people giving you stuff for free in the "how much one makes" category, then you need shelter, food, healthcare, etc. There are plenty of people who struggle to make enough to pay for these necessities. We call this "poverty", and it absolutely is a matter of "how much one makes".
There's actually way more 'abundance' around the Earth then 50 years ago, it's just spread out more evenly.

For example, even in Cambodia there's a Rolls-Royce dealership now. And even the 50th percentile Cambodian household has the material wealth now of at least a 5th percentile US household.

Those saying 'OK Boomer' are mostly just ignorant and/or frustrated because they expected to have even more wealth automatically, when that doesn't make sense anymore now that the entire world can effectively participate in the market.
That depends on which problem you're talking about. But this is not the issue at hand.

...Where does it go?
If I were to make a sci-fi plot, I'd say the first nuclear blast in a US desert (Mohave?) spooked the aliens because they happen to live somewhere around that desert, in a "different dimension" so to say. To them the blast was a spike of hard radiation of unexplained origin. After digging into it, they've realized the relationship with us (to their astonishment) and developed an entire new branch of science about cross-dimension space travel. Now they can regularly send equivalents of bathyscaphes to our plane and observe us. They don't space travel as we imagine it, they rather submerge. The bathyscaphes protect their bodies from instant disintegration, but they already have a prototype of a space-suit that will let them leave the bathyscaphe. In the meantime they've been dropping some artifacts to steer our civilization in the desired direction. They really want us to develop an advanced machine civilization because they have means of directly connecting to a certain type of machines. As for their goals, it's the same goals that we have for Mars or Moon: explore and colonize because we can, perhaps find some minerals.
I don't do hiring at $CURRENT_JOB but I think most of our hires came through the network / Who's Hiring on HN. At $PAST_JOB, I was hiring a junior frontend engineer and got about 1000 resumes. I read them all. They were all boot camp templates, though. (The thing that made me mad was that boot camps bill their projects as work experience and tell candidates to list each textbook exercise as a past job, but given that different applications had line-for-line identical projects, I'm pretty sure that it's just a package of Github and PDF artifacts you just pay for. Not impressed!) We ended up not hiring anyone.
I had bees move into a window in my basement years ago, eventually that hive died but a beekeeper set up hives near our creek. A beehive has more departures and arrivals than any airport and the complexity of their behavior is staggering. Any poison that made bees just a little bit stupid could have a major impact on the effectiveness of a hive — and if you take responsibility for bees there is a huge list of problems that can endanger a hive.
> The most important of which is that software, just like physical products, needs maintenance. The world is constantly changing and evolving, and software has to keep up otherwise it'll become obsolete within couple of years. At the very least it must be patched up with newly discovered security threats.

I feel this is largely being overstated point, or rather that in reality majority of important patches for software is due shoddy quality of it originally rather than external changes. Most security issues are rehashes of common well-known attacks rather than completely novel discoveries. Especially on desktop the platform churn is pretty low, windows happily runs like decades old binaries, and on Linux desktop we have this one major breakage happening that is Wayland but otherwise well-written decades old code is at least source compatible if not binary compatible (although even that is not that far-fetched...).
> Where I live now in WA, there isn't enough volume to justify a lot of effort in diversion

Big cities generate enough volume in waste that an automated sorting plant is a win. There's some interest in mini recycling plants, but not all that much progress.

Agricultural areas that put plastic film over fields as a sort of greenhouse generate square miles of plastic film waste. That's worth recycling, because they have to collect it anyway and what's collected is mostly uniform plastic film.
Until today I never would have guessed it was possible for ocean water temperatures to get that high anywhere. The daytime high air temperature in Key Largo right now is only ~90.
I thought this release had been announced already? Or was that not 1.0? Could have sworn they released an "XL" variant a little while ago?
What do you get from blasting this thread with a bunch of naive one liners that you could answer yourself if you studied the topic on your own for a little bit?

The answer to this one is that the fundamental problem that current TPMs aim to "solve" is that of allowing corporate control and inspection of end users' computers. To continue having a free society where individuals have some autonomy over the devices they purportedly own, this needs to be soundly rejected.

Very controversial take but I think this benefits the vast majority of users by allowing them to bypass captchas. I’m assuming that people would use this API to avoid showing real users captchas, not completely prevent them from browsing the web.

Unfortunately people who have rooted phones, who use nonstandard browsers are not more than 1% of users. It’s important that they exist, but the web is a massive platform. We can not let a tyranny of 1% of users steer the ship. The vast majority of users would benefit from this, if it really works.

However i could see that this tool would be abused by certain websites and prevent users from logging in if on a non standard browser, especially banks. Unfortunate but overall beneficial to the masses.

Edit: Apparently 5% of the time it intentionally omits the result so it can’t be used to block clients. Very reasonable solution.
No, that article is referring to COLD dark matter, which is responsible for structure formation but does not encompass all possible species of dark matter. There are others. "Warm" dark matter is one of them and neutrinos are an example. It's difficult to explain structure formation with warm dark matter, which prompts the search for cold dark matter. Popular science articles like this one truncated the term, where it's entered the popular lexicon as just "dark matter."
For that investment to work, they need to bring in some revenue as well. The ISS is scheduled to retire by 2030. Let's assume this capsule goes operational in 2025 and flies twice a year, that's 10 flights to recoup well, well over a billion by then. Let's say a 100 million per flight. Not sure what the contract is exactly, but it's not looking great.

Pretty sure SpaceX is cheaper, so NASA will be the only customer.

As a dark-hat in the space you'd have a pretty good chance of being caught by chainalysis eventually.

Meanwhile there are still hundreds of millions of dollars of bounties available for white-hats who responsibly disclose.

The dark-hat hackers who aren't held responsible are likely in either Russia or North Korea
Those were largely delays in funding (4+ years) not just the actual program. “In July 2010, Boeing stated that the capsule could be operational as early as 2015 with sufficient near-term approvals and funding.”

“On September 16, 2014, NASA chose Boeing (Starliner) and SpaceX (Crew Dragon) as the two companies to be funded to develop systems to transport U.S. government crews to and from the International Space Station.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Starliner

What sets WEI apart is that it, in a way, exerts power over your choice on how to implement other web features, for example whether you're allowed to block elements, or even just show a developer console.

Other than Encrypted Media Extensions (and these are much more constrained than WEI!), I don't know of any other web standard that does that.
Well, people don't want to cut back right now. Or at least not enough of us. So we're just going to have to wait for things to get bad enough.

We'll either find a way to fix it, or not. But we're definitely not preventing the problem in a meaningful way.
My mind goes to suicide.
Don't leave me hanging, given that we are in a "for all the marbles" point in the game of civilization, what's the next move?

I want to believe there's something better than, "Stop the world, I want to get off."

What is the compelling alternative to this somewhat unrestricted growth we have currently going on? I know there's lots of "if only we just..."s, but what's the implementation plan? How do we install socialism on hardware that was built to run capitalism and seems to be running super well, except for all the pollution it causes?

I support the artists and writers, the creatives and creators, hell, I even support the social media influencers, but this strike is a stopgap, if that. What's our plan? What can we offer the capitalists to get them on board with it, other than the guillotine option?

Is that all we really have to offer? I have to believe we have more than, "be nicer to people, or we'll kill you".
Would be nice to see some of that skepticism applied to Crew-1, when it slipped 4 years, but Ars treated SpaceX announcements as gospel truth.

Hell, the launch article for Crew-1 (https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/11/weather-permitting-t...) literally did not once mention that that launch was delayed, let alone 3 separate year+ delays. Just about SpaceX "saving" NASA from "wandering around in the wilderness with no access to space".
> The W3C is already irrelevant, not that it ever mattered much.

This sounds myopic, or what do you mean? W3C is not only about HTML and CSS innovation, but is responsible for and/or involved in a diverse set of relevant standards — many of which "big companies" don't show as much interest in contributing to.

True. To quote George Carlin: “The Earth will be fine. We’re fucked.”

The Earth has been much warmer than this in the past. It’s been much colder too. Life will adapt. The question is whether we will adapt, and more specifically whether our current civilization will adapt. I severely doubt that Homo sapiens would go extinct, but massive civilization collapse would kill billions.

Then there’s what civilization might do short of full collapse. A moderate limited duration refugee crisis and some inflation has led to a full scale resurgence of fascism in Europe. Imagine if we see hundreds of millions of refugees from equatorial regions pouring into countries with better climates while we have crop failures and coastal cities getting flooded. Can our political systems remain sane and rational through that or will we succumb to demagogue cult leaders with easy “solutions?”

The thing that’s likely to kill the most people from climate change is how people react to climate change. Remember that totalitarian schemes were a leading cause of death in the 20th century. Add up the death toll from Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot and scale to current population.
There is no reason that can't be done with existing web technology, WEI does not advance that use case in any meaningful way.
Sure, but I’m certain that random internet speculation helps no one at this point.
TLS used to also guarantee that you were talking to the correct entity, that's what EV certificates are for. So there was a verification step that ensured that you were indeed the business/organization you were claiming to be.

The EV certs still exists, but the browsers don't really differenciate between DV and EV certs anymore.

It is irresponsible to simply call this "hiding". It is more reasonable to assume this is psyops by an adversary, and as such releasing information without doing due diligence is just causing harm.

Overall, if such events are true I wonder what effect this will have on politics driven by religion-based agendas (many who drive such agenda are not even pious or adherents in any form of the word). Maybe this is finally bring an end to religion-driven politics.
Most HS teachers aren’t world class debaters and may have been arguing from faulty premises, but that doesn’t mean the point stands that learning how to do X, Y, and Z without a phone can be a valuable skill.

If you were to be overly reliant on phones for easy problem solving, or even medium problem solving (more and more enabled by LLMs), you’d not be building the underlying skills to deal with novel but simple problems that the internet/LLMs don’t know about. And you’d not build the foundation to help you with solving harder problems.

Plus, while computers are great for allowing us to “know” much more information than before without actually knowing it, it is still a different kind of knowing. The things you know in your head you can internalize and use to build connections between ideas, a more accurate world view, quickly connect disparate ideas. You also, even if you don’t remember all the details, know the general gist. If you rely too much on the internet, you don’t know that some concepts even exist, and you can fail to internalize or truly understand something.

I’ll give you one example: sometimes I look up programming stuff on the internet if I get stuck. If I immediately jumped to that every time I had a problem, I would not learn very much. Since I treat this as a last resort, I have learned a lot about programming from the process of figuring things out myself first by reading code. This has allowed me to build the skill of seeing an answer and thinking “oh, they got the general gist, but what they suggest is actually a bit over complicated” or “this is a good answer but for a different problem than the question/I am asking” - something noobs don’t discern as well.
