Ok so it wasn't just me. I thought maybe I was being dismissive of UX design process. The design is good, but not much to write about in a blog post when it's already been designed and used in other browsers. This is the kind of thing I expect to read in release notes as an entry.
There were people complaining in earlier threads that bigger publications haven't been reporting on LK-99 — this article is a perfect distillation of why. It is already significantly outdated, missing out on multiple interesting findings that were posted yesterday which would almost certainly have resulted in a much different piece had they been available when it was reported out and sources asked for comment.
There really needs to be some option you can choose that's like "I don't want to cheat on my taxes like a billionaire and pay 3 percent, but I also don't want to spend 2 weeks of my life scrambling to recover documents from 20 different banks and past employers so I can pay a normal rate instead of 70 percent".
For climate change, the problem is not the number of people on Earth. The US produces 14% of emissions with 3.8% of people. Four times the CO2 the 1.2 billion people in Africa. The 1% globally (80 million people) produce as much CO2 as the poorer half of the population.

Also, we don't know if it is possible to run civilization with 50 million people. It is possible that static society that depends on leftovers is possible. If it is possible to run society with that few people, relying on robots and AI perhaps, then it is possible to have robust, prosperous civilization with 5 billion or 50 billion.
Just FYI but my small town municipal fiber co-op isn't on that map, so it probably shouldn't be viewed as authoritative.

Doesn't matter for calculating the non-Jewish White SAT is how I interpreted that. Since white_SAT = (2.4*jewish_SAT + 55.4*non_jewish_white_SAT) / (2.4 + 55.4), it means that even if your Jewish SAT estimate is off by ~100 points, it will only change the non-Jewish White SAT estimate by ~4 points.

Is there something non-scientific about estimates? Or do you think this is not a reasonable estimate, i.e. it may be significantly off? The charge of "non-scientific" is very vague - can you be more specific? What do you think is wrong, and by how much?

I mean, that's the status quo under capitalism. But a huge reason I love libraries is that they are this amazing exception to the capitalist status quo in America. It's so refreshing to be in a space where no one is try get me to buy something.

My dream is that a different service comparable to Libby/Overdrive woud exist without any profit motive. Give it a similar funding model similar to libraries, or something directly from the federal government. It's hard to think like that in this neoliberal status quo, but the public library is a shining example that a different way of doing things is possible.
What would be really powerful is if they included all the documents that were sent to them already without you having to upload them:

Here is your W2 as sent by your employer

Here is your 1099-INT as sent by your bank

Here is your 1099-B as sent by your brokerage form

Please upload other forms not sent to the IRS and any add in any other income and deductions.

This would really make me happy and save me many hours of time, and likely save millions if not billions of hours across the US.

Poor journalism, and as such, click bait. The watches are non-functional and selling for less than 3 dollars in vending machines.

Well, it was always true for EMs that you could have a junior dev quietly spinning their wheels and not asking for help. The difference is before you could sometimes see they were frustrated, and they could see other people asking for help and know that's just part of how you work. If they can't see it passively, you have to proactively show them.

You can and should still have those 10 second conversations. We've got Slack huddles, screen sharing, VSCode Live Share for more complex pairing... the tools are really good now.

That said, I tend to agree, a remote culture that doesn't respect the need for teaching and mentoring is going to be bad at it.
They still need a way to accept payments and ultimately funnel money out of those territories, and when moving lots of money, a corporation is very convenient.

You can work around it of course but this ultimately reduces the profitability of the scams, so better due diligence around companies still fights scams by making it less profitable.
At least they’re honest about it :). Normally they’d let you badger an agent to escalate the issue to nowhere.

You are being facetious. Libraries used to be able to do this and this is exactly how it was working until relatively recently (I received a notification earlier this year as someone who submitted requests for digital books in the past).

> If its not in the catalog requesting it from the library isn't really doing anything for you but give you false hope of it appearing.

That's precisely the point. If it's not in the catalog, there has to be a way to request it to be added (assuming the publisher allows that), but right now there is no even a mechanism to do this, as there is no competition and the full control is on the Libby side to include or not include an item (without libraries having any say in it).

One way to think about the timescale is the rollout time versus the expected usage amount of time. IPv6 was also a bit of a "science fiction project". I remember a lot of the early hype for IPv6 was that it was "IP for the whole solar system" or even sometimes "galactic IP". The architects of IPv6 were clear that they were hoping for something like a 1000 years or more of addresses and usage, even expecting nearly every device on the planet (and maybe the whole solar system) needing an IPv6 address and knowing how fast things like the "Internet of Things" were coming down the horizon.

If it is built to last a 1000 years or more, ~25% of internet traffic by the end of the first 30 years isn't a terrible rollout curve. That's 0.3% of its expected lifetime. (Assuming the 1000 years clock started 30 years ago. It's even believable the 1000 years clock starts closer to 90% rollout of IPv6 than to IPv6 announcements 30 years ago. IPv4 address scarcity wasn't truly felt until decades into IPv4 usage, though it was an academic concern.)

Many Internet projects have always run on different timescales compared to the vastly faster timescales people associate with software and even hardware generations. (In part because these rollouts happen across software and hardware generations.) The IP protocol is so deeply fundamental to that, it is somewhat "civilization defining". It would probably be a lot scarier if an upgrade to something fundamental like IP was an "overnight success". Civilizations are built on the timescales of decades and lifetimes. It should not be a surprise that IPv6 rollout has happened on such timescales. We mostly can only hope that the IPv6 architects were as smart as they hoped they were in preparing for the deep, unknown future of the internet, because they knew they were working on a civilation-timescale tool. (Which is exactly why IPv6 is not just "IPv4 with bigger addresses".)
Wait until someone gets compromised and the thief makes sure they can’t verify the theft by stealing their biometrics.

Well-deserved retirement! I recall a history of Clojure paper mentioning that Rich was using his retirement savings in the years spent to build Clojure[0]. This provides a lot of context as to why he has wanted to maintain ownership and tight control of Clojure. Overall, Clojure is a brilliant piece of work and it has made software development fun and productive. Many great talks were also given by Rich over the years, and Datomic, though the licensing was restrictive up until very recently, has so much synergy with Clojure that it's tough going back to Postgres. :)

Congratulations, Rich.

What's even more interesting than the mysteries properties of LK-99 is the kind of response it's brought out. You even see it right here in HN.

Have you ever seen a Youtube video about someone reviewing a Tesla or comparing it to another car? The comments are always full of hostile and vitriolic remarks by people who are personally offended if the video suggests the cup holders on a Model 3 are less than perfection. For some reason, Tesla is surrounded by a cult of personality where it's not just a car, it's a lifestyle.

And bizarrely, something similar is happening with this funny floating rocks. Here we are, on HN, and people in this very thread are calling Nature (Nature!) an "online sensational clickbait magazine" because they want to believe the hype that the rock has properties that they only learned about from Wikipedia a few days prior (and only understood 5% of it, at that)

Is there reason to be excited? Hell yeah. Are all the different replication attempts super fascinating? Hell yeah. Could it be the real deal? It could!

But this has become some weird spectator sport, where you're either a believer or a skeptic, and if you're on a different side than I am then screw you, even if you are Nature.

What's the point being made here? Bombing bad, but in increasingly convoluted prose? Economical considerations bad? Does the author think the UK had the manpower to simply waltz into Germany and convince Hitler peacefully of his folly? Or the capability to sustain what was effectively a siege forever? The author wants to express indignation at something. That much is clear from the shrill tones of the opening paragraph.

That the UK and US relied on high-tech is not that odd. It is odd that the author contrasts that with Germany. They too did fight a high tech war (U boats, enigma, tanks, V1 and V2), but they couldn't achieve their goals with just tech. You don't get Lebensraum by bombing your neighbours. You need an actual occupation force. The UK was very much on the defensive, and had to resort to blockades and bombing to stay afoot.

Or is the point "to destabilise liberal complacency", whatever that may mean?

My issue the last few years with anything related to the topic of climate change and weather patterns is that it's to me the poster child of where science communication can make or break an issue (even one that is existential like this one). And in this case, it has failed miserably and continues to do so.

I am strongly in favor of moving to renewable sources just because they seem like the obvious next technical evolution (And all the CO2 reduction benefits, for sure). I'm also completely trusting that climatologists are doing their thing and that the models we have only keep getting better. I have nearly zero issues with the science or the scientific process as I understand it.

But can we just admit that communicating about warming the earth by 2 degrees always has, and will always be a major failure in getting through to the population? Whenever I see another article talking about "2 degrees by 2035" or something similar, I roll my eyes now because that is such heavy jargon that is meaningful to such a small amount of people. How can we better communicate exactly what that means on a day to day basis? Or connect that to solutions?

We have to find a better way to communicate this both at the macro level and at the micro level.

At the macro level, even someone like me who is fully onboard with the science and the phenomenon, has a hard time getting worked up about chatter about 2 degrees, 0.9 degrees, and measuring tons of carbon. As humans we just can't process this in a meaningful way.

And at a micro level, I'm also sick of us looking at the weather around us on individual days saying "look at this hot day, climate change" and ignoring other factors. But then when people joke about frigid winters, we are quick to correct them and say that it's still due to climate change (we seem to understand that systems are interrelated, cold fronts, warming water evaporating more and resulting in more snow for example), but in hot weather, we just use the "climate change!" sledgehammer and forget about undersea volcanoes, El Ninos, the intensity of the sun (all small factors but factors nonetheless).

The whole thing to me has long been a failure in public communication of science. And I think that should be given as much attention as all the other technical solutions.
so simple that original authors fail 9 out of 10 times it seems
it may indeed be unprecedented - but this type of chart could do a better job of showing that. here's what I mean: we know that temperature has been increasing steadily for 140 years. So we expect each year can be higher than the previous one. And in an El Niño year, higher even. This chart shows that happening. What it doesn't show (clearly) is how high this year is vs. the previous year - and, importantly, whether that jump in temperature is the highest ever, or one of the highest ever, or whatever. maybe it is, but this type of chart doesn't highlight that fact because all of the years are jumbled together.
You're misinterpreting or misunderstanding the data. The reality is that large tech companies are overwhelmingly Democrat-leaning.
