Uh, did you read my comment? The "good" videos aren't released because they contain sensitive national security information. Doesn't mean they don't exist. Remember the Russian jet that launched flares at a US drone a few months back, and the crystal clear footage that came from that? Footage like that exists for these UAPs too.

Yes, and/or social media, as an evolution towards a citizen dashboard. I used to think federated media (Diaspora was my choice at the time) is a natural e-community centre: joining a local interest-based hub for day-to-day use that can nevertheless serve as a node for broader discussions. Just like voting down at the rec centre.

Government "spying" is a hard but not unsolvable problem, rooted in our own values. We're so culturally punch-drunk we've no hope on making progress right now. Maybe when the wind changes again...

I don't mind private corp. email, as long as it doesn't capture anything. Basic communication seems such a no-brainer that speculating to make it available to the market seems superfluous.
Well, perhaps it will drive adoption of Web3 and permissionless decentralized open protocols — * ducks *

I mean — all this doom from HN about huge centralized corporations, about banks being inaccessible, but the moment you mention the only viable (at the moment) alternative — many people reach for their trusty downvote button.

I mean, with all the hate towards all alternatives to trusting Big Tech corporations, with all the effort to actively bury any potential to build and improve decentralized systems, some of you deserve to live in a world controlled by large states and corporations. This would be your future dystopia, because you actively dismissed every alternative out of hand. But it won’t be your future — because many people outside of HN continue to build systems like MaidSAFE, IPFS and BitTorrent which do not have these restrictions. There are far better and nore scalable networks coming out that are beyond blockchain and beyond smart contracts that allow building backends which CAN’T discriminate against clients, and let anyone generate their own public-private keys. Even though you may hate on these technologies and downvote any post mentioning them, they’ll be there when you finally need them. You’re welcome!!
It isn’t necessarily about Colin quitting. Key person gets hit by bus is also always a concern. You can say someone will pick it up, but I know nothing of whether such plans are in place. Does the person who would inherit the business have the know how to sell it? Is there enough documentation in place for a transfer of assets to be successful?

Why was it depressing for you? For me it's great to see how people are slowly managing to readjust their priorities and attach less importance to work in order to focus on things that matter more to them. And if they can do that - its' fantastic!

Say what you will about the merits of this position, but it's entirely consistent to advocate for shutting down nuclear power plants and reducing electricity consumption, and it's reasonable if one holds this position to be dismayed when the plants are shut down but decreases in consumption do not occur, leading to more coal use.

These pros and cons you list are all down to policies that a carrier may enact.

With a physical SIM, they can't stop you putting it into another phone, and there are no good technical reasons why you shouldn't be able to swap a SIM into a compatible phone and have it work immediately. That's how it's worked in many countries since GSM came out in the 90s.

With eSIMs, you may need to contact the carrier to transfer the SIM to a new device. This is a contact point with the carrier - and one where they can add barriers or fees.

There's a lot of nuance to how SO and other sites they run work. Turning programmer focused FAQs into a collaborative site was the route it kind of had to take.

Reading through the joelonsoftware blog was kind of eyeopening, since I didn't know he was one of its creators.

Per capita absolutely. Per country perhaps not.

The pointing to China and India is pointless. If you invest in other forms of energy, you also set an example for others. And you don't have any right to complain about the pollution of others if you're still polluting more.

And the US, still the richest country in the world, should absolutely take the lead here, instead of demanding that China and India take the lead. China and India should absolutely clean up their energy sector, but so should the US and the EU.
It's a pretty well-known fact for years that tarsnap is basically a one-man show, and yet Colin has managed to provide fantastic service so far. Sometimes having ppl who built the service also managing it is actually a big plus, compared to other services where you first have to fight through outsourced & underpaid support that's limited to template answers, only to finally get some "engineer" who got that job 2 months ago and is more clueless on their system than myself...
This is a pretty common take but I don't think it holds up to scrutiny. Generating new code is such a minuscule part of what I actually do as a developer that I only ever mention it in passing, if at all, when talking about my job. Defining requirements that somehow manage to make a compromise between what every different department wants, communicating our advantages and difficulties to relevant parties, customer meetings, figuring out what legal requirement this 10-year-old server's cron job fulfils, etc. These are all things I don't see any of these systems figuring out anytime soon and that's where the real value add is. Writing up a class that can be described in a few simple sentences is not where the money is made.

It's a fair question, and it's worth reading the full paper for details on the three sites in Alaska (some distance from where Columbus et al landed), the relationships between bead groups found, the layering of the sites, and the age and type of twine:

Furthermore, the twine was a short-lived material—possibly one made from the inner bark of a shrub willow (Burch 2005:187) that was likely replaced regularly, so there would be no significant time lag between when the twine plant was photosynthesizing and when it was used to hold the ornament together.

So, the reasoning goes that the beads are older than the twine, the twine was used to bind several objects including the beads together within a year (? say) of being 'lost' and left in a layer, and the twine predates 1488 and is in a remote interior part of Alaska.

In almost all the discussions I've ever had about AI, I've only ever heard comments about the next immediate effects of AI: it can improve this thing or that, while humans do the rest. Almost no one considers the effects decades down the line: complete replacement.

There's another effect, especially with regard to information synthesis via AI: previously the vast majority of information was obtained with people's names attached to them. All Stackoverflow answers have names attached to them, and articles on the internet too.

Now, AI bypasses that, making information gathering more anonymous and less human. I already remarked in comments that information sharing has always had two functions in human history: bonding humans together and trading useful information. AI removes the bonding aspect and creates a pathological environment where information sharing is too anonymous.

Your comment is one of the first I've seen that actually talks about a longer-term effect of AI, but AI programmers and companies are too bedazzled by the promise of short-term financial gain to give one care about ethics, except for mouth-service.
The strongest type of claim is when an a priori claim is called absurd, someone goes to make observations to disprove it and comes back convinced of your theory.
> “However, demand from the two largest consumers, China and India, grew by over 5% during the first half, more than offsetting declines elsewhere,” it added.

What can be done, not buying goods made in China, economic sanctions? They used to claim they were not an advanced economy and still a developing nation so they should be allowed to do it. Just like the West burned coal to industrialize. Is that still the official story?
Stack Overflow for Teams is meant to be an internal knowledge base for company specific questions.

Where is the sarcasm? I've been a consultant pulling well north of six figures and had weeks in the office doing fuck-all.

3 hours of meetings and then killing time on Slashdot. Except I had to be in the office, in a button-up shirt, and had to commute.

I've done 50+ hour weeks at home, but when it's slow I'll take meetings while prepping a slow-cooker dinner. I had a boss that use to do the 1-on-1 meetings with his team (e.g. me) while running errands. I got used to hearing the sound of self-checkout machines while on that call, lol.

Or at least the talk it is based on was given in 2012. The page itself is undated, as far as I could see with a quick glance.
If the global energy business operated according to the principle of what helps everyone the most- getting the whole planet to a cheap and abundant energy source as soon as it is possible, in order to create the greatest public good- rather than indulging corporations in extracting the very last penny of value out of old ways of getting energy regardless of the detriment it might cause society- I think we'd regard Greenpeace's lobbying as one of the contributors to that ultimate resolution.

You can't blame activists for the inertia of entrenched robber barons. Agitation doesn't always get the best results at the time, but in the long view it's one of only a few impulses that move the juggernaut not only forward, but forward in the correct direction.
That's not being screwed either way.

Quicklisp doesn’t need to support TLS, but it does need to support authentication of some sort. Signing files would be good enough.
The US emits vastly more per capita than China and India. If we’re going to have any chance of stopping this thing before it’s too late, we’re going to have to lead by example (and better, by investing our vast scientific and economic resources into the problem.) Right now China is building tons of coal, but it’s also deploying and building solar and wind much faster than we are. Asking poorer countries to take the burden when we haven’t cleaned up our current mess (let alone historical mess) is actually something we should be ashamed of.
How about the preservation of books? I'm working on converting scans (OCR and otherwise) of long out of date, public domain books to a clean digital form (web, PDF, and ePUB) and the hours upon hours of editing typos made by OCR seems like something a large language model or contextual syntax and spelling analyzer should be able to easily sniff out and correct easily enough. My goal is just to preserve knowledge in as compact a format as possible (along with the basis for a clean re-publishing effort if someone wanted to take that on).
I also point out other people who are worse than I as an excuse not to improve.
We can’t build a damn nuclear generation station in the US to save ourselves.

Even large organizations can have fairly regular availability issues. I appreciate the noted flaws of "single point of failure", but I also see orgs where 100s of people have access to the infrastructure, make a change, and then it breaks something. I wouldn't do business with an org just because they have many people, that won't mean they're operationally sound, at least not to my expectations.

The geology is just a happy accident of naming. Continents aren't defined by plates. Europe and Asia share a plate, except for a bit of western Siberia that's on the North American plate. The Americas have 3-7 different plates, but only 1-2 continents.
> What can be done, [...]?

We can keep working on making the alternative cheaper. So that India and China etc will find it in their own economic self interest to move to the alternatives.

Also in general adopt policies, like free trade and free immigration, that help who currently live in India and China grow richer faster. Historically, richer people care more about the environment. (Probably because they can afford to.)
This feels like an interesting idea but I can't quite fully see it. If a DSL is:

AST -eval-> Result

where AST is fixed and Result varies (depending on the choice of eval).

Then a coDSL is

AST -eval-> Result

where AST varies and Result is fixed ?

This feels like a restatement of the difference in modularity / extensibility.
As it will continue to next year. Realistically, the NIMBYs have won, fission isn't happening, and fusion is still 2 decades away (thus has it always been).

One of the banks I have worked with have done something similar, they are targeting cannabis businesses entirely through a dedicated subsidiary that is firewalled from the rest of the organization.
For how long a time?

At the beginning of the devlopment of computer chess, people said it would NEVER beat a reasonable player. Then it did. Then they said it would NEVER beat a seasoned tournament player, and it did. They said it would NEVER beat an international master or grandmaster...but it did.

People keep saying never. Our society can never fall...but societies have fallen since the dawn of time. You might be safe in your job, but what about your children or grandchildren?
There's surely a balance. "Forced boredom" is just tantamount to excess unstructured time. Structure is good, but overscheduling your kids with predetermined activity can also exhaust them and maybe leave them resentful later as they don't get to decide what to do with their time. If every night is sports alternating with piano recital and then homework, their lives are on rails.
To "combat misinformation", surely?
Has anyone tried vyper instead of solidity and if so does it help mitigate any of these security issues? I haven’t tried it because audited libraries are critical to smart contract development and I don’t know if any decent ones outside of solidity.

Unlike burning coal, burning wood can be sustainable. That carbon was in the air a couple of years ago. Growing forests for firewood is probably not the most efficient way to use that land, but as long as you plant and grow new trees at the same rate you burn them, it is carbon neutral.

That doesn't mean it's always sustainable of course; there's a lot of destructive logging in the world, and that should stop.
I don't think that kind of fraud would work in the Pix system. Pix transactions are debit, so Bob is out of the money immediately.

Of course, it is possible there might be some bank offering a pix-enabled credit card, but I don't see how they'd have any incentive, precisely because people could start doing that.
What do you mean either way? If your income keeps up with inflation or grows faster then you're not screwed. See every software job in the US and the massive difference between L3 and L5 for example
Nice context, thank you.
> If I were the semi benevolent dictator of the world, I'd make a law that said: all middle managers up to the CEO must spend 20% of their time doing entry level work in the company.

Maybe try this rule in your own company first. If it’s an improvement over the current system you’ll have a competitive advantage. If it doesn’t work, then you wouldn’t have been benevolent.

> the richest people are the furthest out of touch and thus least qualified to wield so much power

I’m not connected to anyone above “vacation-house rich”, but at their level a lot of the power they wield is in experience, communication and connections. If I’m going to invest in a project, I want someone who’s experienced in the domain, can clearly communicate their vision and has connections in the industry. Wealthy people often tick those boxes.

Here are some alternative free market idea for you:

1. Grant all FTEs some type of ownership in the company (stock, options or profit sharing), and do so on a recurring basis as well

2. Peg the CEOs total comp to be a max of 20x the lowest earner in the company. If the CEO gets a bonus, all FTEs get a minimum of 1/20th that amount as well.
How is it realistic that consumption would be reduced?

It's about as practical a position as Greenpeace-folk advocating for world peace and asking "why can't we all just get along?"

It's hard to safe yourself by building nuclear when China uses more coal - where a lot of coal is imported from the US.

So I'd say: The US and Australia need to stop coal exports to China. But then again you get Trump promising miners to increase coal production as a result.
I doubt this was a major factor but the optics and blowback from unions that come with putting truckers out of work are a lot worse than uber drivers.
The USA, India and China are all emitting carbon into the same atmosphere. Per capita is a useful metric in some contexts but not here.

If china and india increase their coal energy generation to completely offset reductions in other regions, the reductions are rendered moot.

Speaking of leading by example, the USA’s carbon emissions are on track to see their most significant declines in history. The best part is that private industry is leading the push because the incentives are in place.
What-ifs about how the world operates are non sequiturs. They apparently got their way in Germany even though nuclear is greener than petroleum energy (according to the premise of the GP comment).
