If you pull up the last 2,000 years in the Yearly Average Observed Temperature anomaly, from 536 - 537 there should be a global average temperature anomaly of -2C to -5C from the Volcanic Winter of 536 (A period of 18 months where the sun was dimmed by volcanic ash), but the graph shows <1C. There's tree ring evidence of it from all over the world.

If they missed this, this puts into question all the rest of the data IMO.
How about a computing tax? Or a Microsoft Excel tax? Or an electricity tax?
As someone on the older side, I generally agree with that. The tech sector has been very good for me over the past 10+ years and I still have a fair bit invested but I look at my portfolio and go "that's probably enough." I've been around long enough so that "Don't get greedy" is pretty ingrained.

On the other hand, getting 5% on basically a treasuries fund looks pretty good on a risk-adjusted basis.

One guy makes now 2k after tax by working for a small wine seller.

He was head of the bar for over 10 years and made LESS before!

And not having any stable schedule.

Same with bakers: the good one came up with a strategy to do much less work at night and is able to find people the other one didn't change a thing.

Also in Germany it's quite common to become an engineer (metal etc) and software is still very abstract for a lot of people.

The deindustrialization thing is independent of this I think and correlates more to Germany not having any real greener resources besides coal.

There were company owner interviewed who just complained about how instable the energy is but instead of investing anything and doing something about it he prefers to create a new company location in Sweden. Which is actually not bad in my opinion we don't need to have every industry in Germany just to have it.

Germany is a dense country. And in Sachsen there is space but not much Industrie and a lot of Nazis (you know poorer and less educated people who are right wing) and I don't want to move there either.

Well, that is a good start. Do you have an autonomous system number (ASN) and an active BGP session with your ISP? If you need to debug a BGP route to the Akamai CDN, then your ISP's engineers would definitely need to be in the loop.

The other thing to check is your SLA (service level agreement) with your ISP. This should explain the scope and extent of their support for you and commitments to connectivity. It may also denote any process for troubleshooting or complaint resolution.

What I love about Baldurs gate 3 is how you can skip easily dialog and cut scenes, but what I love is just walking away from the game to do other random stuff and because it's turn based I don't have to pause and I just come back and play a bit whenever and so i take many frequent little breaks.
Labor shortage relative to what? As usually pointed out, there is no fixed amount of labor that the geographic region of 'Germany' has to perform. It's the people there that need labor performed, and adding more people will also increase the labor needed (as well as infrastructure, housing, food, education, etc..)

So it's more accurate to talk of a demographic crisis, in the case that there are not enough young people to support the old. But given that Germany is one of the richest countries in the world, that's not the case. Because if it were, labor would be reallocated from high-profit fields to lower-profit but more necessary ones, like nursing and healthcare.

I sympathize with the sentiment of working on your own way instead of following the growth, or others mantra.

But I think Nela should also understand that she is an outlier deciding to work ALONE: what happens when someone decides to have children? Do a single person has the skills to manage the complexities of a business? Be ready all the time? I don't underestimate Nela skills, just saying, again, she is an outlier and should balance her own mantra.
Thank you, exactly. This was all that needed to be said and the story is incongruous without some reckoning of this.
The point is that with public securities, the SEC makes sure that it's not a scam. A public company can't just decide one day to issue a ton of stock and hand it over to an arbitrary entity, there's a regulatory process and legislated veto power held by the shareholders/board.

When you buy an unregulated security (like shares in a "crowdfunded" startup), that's the protection you're not getting. Most people in this community tend to see the SEC as the enemy, but this is the value it provides.

If the narrator is more of the pessimistic type, then perhaps their motives are more personal, or the newspaper wishes to dissuade readers from leaving.
We started measuring global methane in the 1970-1980s. We know the rate of increase fluctuates a lot and don't fully understand all of the causes going into it on the short term scale. The data before then is based on gas bubble samples trapped in ice and is smoothed as a result.

This should be a top comment.
Hard to explain, but in a practical sense, the jobs are half rate in comparison. People don’t want to achieve quite as much. Your best bet for ambition is a remote job from SF or NY.

Not the worst if you value other things!

> What do you even think the WEI is that you think this motivation makes the tiniest bit of sense?

First let me add some snippets on what the authors of WEI think can be gained from it:

* This is beneficial for anti-fraud measures. Websites commonly use fingerprinting techniques to try to verify that a real human is using a real device[1]

One of the proposed use cases: Detect non-human traffic in advertising to improve user experience and access to web content* [2]

Another snippet :

we could standardize the set of signals that browsers will receive from attesters, and have one of those signals be whether the attester recommends the browser for sites to trust (based on a well-defined acceptance criteria). As new browsers are introduced, they would need to demonstrate to attesters (a relatively small group) that they pass the bar, but they wouldn't need to convince all the websites in the world [2]

This is clearly an attempt at gatekeeping both web client software and the clients themselves.

> What do they gain from it?

I think we can agree that Google is primarily an advertising and search company. One of the threats to Google's revenue as an advertising company is ad-fraud and this 'anti-fraud' measures protect their bottom-line. Another threat is ad-blocking and though they don't explicitly mention it, the WEI "bar" mentioned above can potentially be used to prevent ad-blocking by denying attestation to clients capable of ad-blocking (either directly or by allowing plugins).

Client attestation also prevents bots(both good & bad bots of all types including new search indexing bots) from accessing websites. This has a nice side-effect for Google that it restricts building a new search engine(a competitor) without its blessing. Search is a gateway to Google's advertising.

> And why exactly do you think they'd want to do that?

Like any product that any company introduces, it is to drive adoption? The more websites use it, the more normalized and legitimate WEI becomes. Once it becomes a standard and an integral part of web, it is easier to dictate terms that keep their position entrenched.

We can argue whether ad-blocking or bots are good or not and whether these concerns are all pure speculation or hyperbole. But once the technical capability is there and it is only the ethical/moral belief of corporate executives( and probability of government intervention) that prevent it, I wouldn't trust them to do the right thing especially when money is involved.

The weight per datapoint thing is actually kind of orthogonal to the concept of an SVM, but is conflated by most introductions to SVMs. SVMs are linear models using hinge loss. In the "primal" optimization perspective (rather than the dual problem SVMs are usually formulated as), one optimizes the feature weights like normal. This is not sparse in general, but it's not like dual SVM weights are particularly sparse in practice.
After multiple rounds of doubling and tripling down on your dubiously representative stance you have now reached the “game development studios don’t know how to make games” stage.

Maybe stop and consider what led you here, and if this is really a position you sincerely believe and wish to defend.
Can you speak to their data source? They're using other people's data:

"For the years leading up to 1850 we use PAGES2k Consortium reconstruction data. It is based on models where temperatures are reconstructed from proxies. Proxy analysis has higher uncertainty, and we display the smoothed set to highlight the longer-term fluctuations."
Sarcasm doesn't work too well on the internet, does it?

The time from 1914 to, say, 1919 or so was really hell on earth.
You will note the phrasing is tautological in nature and does not apply to all software engineers.
I used to be fascinated with that, until I saw a wall clock that had a smooth second hand movement. It was a cheap $10 clock, because it's not an issue to put a larger battery into a wall clock.

Maybe I already got my kick out of seeing a smooth second hand movement and no longer feel the need to look at it on my wrist. Or perhaps my fascination was based on some gatekeeping, and seeing a cheap item with a similar feature made it disappear. Likely both.

I guess people who genuinely admire the engineering effort would be left unaffected.
> I also think Homebrew packages should be maintained by the creator, not some random user.

Oh boy, I have some unfortunate news for you. The whole ethos of Homebrew is exactly that, userland maintaining formula for software they want... I promise you Microsoft is not maintaining the casks for their stuff. 99% of all formula in the Homebrew repo is maintained solely by volunteers unaffiliated with all of the software.

My question for you is why are you replying to everyone insistent on demanding that Sindre do all this for you, someone who will not be using the software anyways? What is your angle here? You're coming off super entitled.
None of these languages have ever been on the level of Reaktor IMO and I started in csound quite awhile before Reaktor.

You don't gain almost anything with these languages in their current forms because they end up not being much different than modular patch cord synthesis with a less intuitive interface.

The amount and variety of interesting sounds I have heard from Reaktor is several orders of magnitude beyond csound to a degree it isn't even comparable.

I might even rate these early versions of AudioLM as already more interesting than csound.

The whole idea of music programming languages is a dead end IMO.
> It seems profits and benefits for workers must be extracted at the gunpoint of government regulation and unionization. I agree that it'd be great if that wasn't necessary.

Yep. Those of us who’ve lived in the west have never seen massive worker uprisings, although they’re present throughout history. A society that becomes so unequal that it can’t provide opportunity for its people faces a reckoning.

What’s so damning about this is that the ultra wealthy know this and are planning for it.
Reminds me of the 1963 Czech SciFi film ''Ikarie XB 1'' and how deep space crew members used olifactory cartridges somewhat cigarette-like, triggering memories and stimulating earthly sensations. Fast forward to 15:48 for one of those scenes lasting about 1 minute:

It seems to me a market will be there if UCI's fragrance method is safe and inexpensive.
Some data: I had a "Tough Solar" G shock for field work- it was very long lasting. I got it in 2002 (if memory serves) and it lasted about a dozen years. By that point the capacitor could not hold a charge very long at all, and it became unusable. I set it aside and a few year later the rubber bits fell apart including stuff around the case. I'd say by 15y it was totally toast. Not bad considering I never did a single bit of service on it, but definitely a reminder that time always wins in the end. Even when it comes to your timepiece!
Source for the lynch mob claim? I remember skepticism but no lynchings.
Of course. My point is that this exact same situation, at a different company, may have surfaced a Tim that actually should be PIPed because he wasn't doing what he was asked to do, or his contributions weren't as valuable from an objective point of view (but of course all his peers love him taking some load off and them being able to get all the credit), or he was forcing a team dynamic that should be "fixed" because Tim is actually a Brent (from Phoenix Project) that had to have his hand in everything and the team couldn't survive without him, yet it may be difficult to discern these situations from the situation described in the article where Tim (sounds like) he was definitely bringing more value to the team than a replacement would.

Yeah it's a few hypotheticals onwards, and there's probably better ways to surface those problems, but companies are messy and no one is without flaw or 100% competent, no engineer and no manager.

(Note that I'm not saying evaluating a person based on delivering story points is optimal, or even useful)
Such a great resource. Thanks.
> For the years leading up to 1850 we use PAGES2k Consortium reconstruction data. It is based on models where temperatures are reconstructed from proxies. Proxy analysis has higher uncertainty, and we display the smoothed set to highlight the longer-term fluctuations.

It would be in there, but smoothed over instead of the year-by-year entries that you are looking for.

For a lot of datasets like this that are before modern monitoring programs, you can often tell when something "big" happened in a certain time period or year from another source, but then you have to decide how to incorporate that with your long-range data that doesn't have year-by-year values. Sometimes it's best to just choose one method that covers all of the years and stick with it instead of modifying your model based on what you "think" is right from other sources.

Yeah, we were lucky. Because despite the first realistic shot at fighting a pandemic in history, we still kind of botched it. Bad enough even, that we still suffer the political fall-out all over the place.

Discord is a private company, you can't host the software yourself, and the company behind it is questionable at best. I would suggest if you're doing anything internal, Slack is the closest, but whenever possible, IRC or something self-hosted is better. There's a lot of risk involved in using a Discord - at best it should be a public-facing PR tool which is strictly and constantly moderated.

Short Naps Are Good for You – But Not Past 30 Minutes
Since there’s a few confused comments, and I was(/am?) confused too, I think this is pretty literally what the title says. I think a good metaphor would be "eslint but for written text instead of code."
I'm starting to wonder whether the conventional wisdom of reducing carbon emissions in favour of more electricalisation is really solving the actual problem. As is often pointed out on HN, electrical cars are substantially heavier than their fossil fueled alternatives, and generate other pollution along the way. Furthermore, we're digging our lithium brines from the environment, without really understanding what all this lithium will do once it's leached out into the environment or what impact the mines themselves will have.

With the recent advances of turning CO2 into other substances, such as propane, should we be focusing more on closing the carbon cycle and simply be producing fossil fuels from the waste products of yesteryear?

Naively, it feels like we understand C, O and H, better than we understand some of the rare metals we're now introducing in the name of climate change.
Is this some thinly veiled comment against video gaming?
The entire economic system was different. Even something as basic as a radio, fridge or TV cost serious money, so very few people had them in the first place, they expected it to last and be easily repairable, particularly as shipping took a lot of time and was expensive just as well. Farmers living out in the country had it even worse, for them the ability to repair devices literally in the field can be a question that makes their entire business viable or not.

Today? Everything is cheap, you can fedex something across continents in a matter of a few days. When the TV is broken, fuck it, a new one is a click and a day of waiting time away, free delivery included. Computers? Phones? Just the same.

Building products that last or are repairable just isn't competitive enough any more. Yes, there are niches like Fairphone, Framework and Pine, but that's the point: they are niches for nerds who care and are able and willing to spend the money.

On top of that, technology has gotten ever smaller and smaller. Up until a decade or two ago, most electronics was through-hole stuff that even a complete dunderhead could repair with a soldering iron, a bit of solder and some tweezers. Modern SMT? That needs highly specialized machines and an awful lot of knowledge about stuff like temperature ramps, not to mention passive components being as small as a tiny piece of sand. And if you want to verify signal integrity, some random scope won't cut it either at modern high speed buses.

All this means is that you move one level up on what it is you are diagramming and replacing. I don't expect to replace the integrated circuit on my instant pot, but I do expect to be able to replace the control board or the thermal fuse. And instructions on how to do these things would be great! A simple diagram showing how the larger things are connected is all that's necessary. I don't need a map of all the traces, or a list of the surface mount components.
On Google Fi, there is an option to block all calls and text from anyone not in your contacts.

Rebalancing according to risk is recommended, not doing it because you think you know what the market is going to do. For instance, let's say right now, the market is headed up. When is the right time to "re-balance" to more cash? This is just assuming that the market is going to go lower than it currently is, which is just as much a gamble as thinking it'll go up for the next year.

In short, don't try to guess the market and keep some magical percent of cash/investments unless you have the means to gamble that money. Talk to a financial advisor and choose a risk-based investment strategy that makes sense for your point in life.
The James-Bond-like part is doing it from your watch specifically. (Consider the various wrist-gadgets found in the movies over the years.)
