> We're focusing everything on the easier planet that might not be livable after one year of bad politics.

Nuked Earth that's also climate-changed so bad that only the poles are temperate is still a whole lot better than Mars.

Why is the solution for this "establish a colony somewhere already 100x worse than a multi-catastrophe-stricken Earth would be, and is also very-expensive to get back to Earth from" ? It makes no sense.

Asteroid strike? There are (much) cheaper ways to guard against that—hardened, distributed bunkers with paid inhabitants, increasing asteroid-hunting programs and interception research. Orbital habs or even the Moon if you're worried about a whole-crust-liquifying event that you can't stop in time. And we're not doing those. Why would we do Mars? It's worse than those options in basically every way. It's a really really bad place.

Most the other threats those measures couldn't guard against, would probably also take out Mars.

Going to Mars is cool and romantic and I hope to see it, but I think people trying to pin some practical reason for colonization other than "because it was there" (romantic) are misguided.

Unless you're from India/China, the wait times are not long to get a green card - plenty of people get it within 2 years. The real challenge is getting the labor certification stating that there is a shortage in skills you offer.

And you can always change jobs (albeit at the risk of restarting the green card process).
The ingenuity (and accumulated knowledge) of people never stops amazing me. "Well, we can't actually drill into Mars to see what it's made of, so let's slap a marsquake detector on the surface and we'll measure seismic energy from meteor impacts to figure out what this bad boy's guts are made of." Of course no NASA person actually talks like this; I have been reading too much Heinlein.

Also, they use the term "marsquake". Never stopped to think about how geocentric the term "earthquake" is!
No, he's both of ours boyfriend.

I'd never expected to be in a poly thing, but it works for us.
What about the studies on deaths and injury with smaller vehicles only involving another vehicle? My guess is that it's much higher. Most families with kids want larger vehicles for exactly this reason.
It's come up on HN a bunch, including recently. I'm not sure how to find the threads.

It is weird and confusing, and has to do with the fact, if i remember right, that the Archive.today maintainer is mad that Cloudflare won't forward end-user IP addresses with DNS queries.

This seems mysterious, but one other comment pointed out the maintainer saying that this prevents the maintainer from assigning traffic to servers the way they want, which is an odd way having to do with legal systems and national boundaries and maybe trying to send the user to a CDN endpoint _not_ in their own nation for some reason?

If I'm remembering right.

The whole thing is weird and I can't explain it, and is very under-documented, the archive.today maintainer apparently doesn't really like talking about it or explaining it?

But basically archive.today intentionally deny-lists anyone using cloudflare DNS in a way that results in very mysterious behaivor where you don't know you are denylisted, including infinite captchas.

I have had the same issue with Google 8.8.8.8 DNS and archive.today btw.

Exactly... and Remix is the old team from React Router, who break their API every version. I understand the author's arguments against Next.js, but having just set up a hello-world in Remix and being immediately confronted with a hydration error, I don't think Remix is the path forward either.
On Mars you can build shelter with dirt or in caves. You would be better protected than in LEO.

The Moon is very inhospitable, but it's close enough we could have just shuttled an endless stream of ready-to-live habitat modules there, one after another. The tech was there. The will was not.

I'm not saying it would have been rational to do it in the 1970s, but we could have!

On the other hand, what we actually did do (to the Earth) wasn't exactly rational, either.
When people say they economy sucks they mean they can't buy a car right now because the bank will only give them an ass interest rate even with great credit and the price of groceries has skyrocketed.

With regards to grocery prices, what does corporate greed have to do with the president?

As for the car, the FED has a big hand in interest rates, and yeah, Biden did choose to re-nominate Powell, but Powell was originally appointed by Trump, so I don't know how voters can really say the republican would have done better.

The American economy is bad for people under a certain line, yes. The question is why does the media always overplay the economy when Republicans are in power and downplay it when Democrats are?
Yeah it’s the main reason because the data transfer costs alone would be insane
I have a gripe about people who say "no one".

My microwave heats a mug of water to the perfect temperature for tea in 2:10. I don't want to stand there to act as the timer myself.

Even a hybrid mission with humans in orbit doesn't make sense. You have to bring less fuel for landing/take-off from Mars. But for that same cost you could send way more robotic workers and just deal with speed of light/delays (3-20 minutes).

If there was significant uncertainty in what resources needed to be deployed to where then I could see a benefit to having an onboard team of humans who could assemble workers or payloads on the fly from orbit. However this would be a big shift from current mindset of designing robots for exact problem/solutions with precise payloads to instead having an excess of resources on board.

If the perspective shifted to "we're colonizing Mars so every ounce of metal in orbit will get used at some point" this is less of a concern.
Totally concur and that’s the way to live
Leonardo da Vinci used toxic pigments when he painted the Mona Lisa
I don't think the pole shift theory holds, but there still are all those rocks flying around solar system... as well as gamma bursts, but those would probably take out Mars too.
Germany is also a special country that many people would want to immigrate to for many reasons, although I have a worry about Germany. Specially demographics: if we compare the demographics between the US and Germany we see that the US has a larger number of younger people to help support its aging population whereas Germany has less. This will mean that entitlement programs in Germany will likely face a great deal of stress in the decades ahead. This is less of a problem if Germany embraces policy that encourages immigration, but it needs to enact policy that makes it friendly to external capital investment to make it attractive to foreign business and workers.

The US is one of the most attractive places for capital in the world, which encourages a great deal of immigration to the US.

I wouldn’t buy these without a sales call, but costing it out to less than an order of magnitude would make it a lot easier to determine economic viability.

I just hate calling people to determine if we’re going to match, when they could have given me that information up front.

Implicit here is that prosecution's case has rested. How about all those bombshells that dominated the news for months and months? /s /s

There IS a case to be made, but I don't think they made it. Expect the verdict to be a mild slap on the wrist and a (empty) promise from Google to sin no more.
Furthermore, MindGeek is based in Canada, where engineer compensation is something like 2-3 times lower than at FAANG in Silicon Valley; and reportedly (according to a few pseudonymous comments I saw) it does not pay very well even by Canadian standards.
The reality is that for republicans, "how good the economy feels" is tied directly to the letter next to the guy in the white house. It's not even based on who controls the senate, where their senators have spent the last 5 decades ruining the economy every single time they have had a chance.

"But gas prices are low" so whatever apparently.
They're also publishing https://analysis-tools.dev/ , which is a dynamic site that I would assume does have some hosting costs. The wording in that banner implies that the sponsors were helping to fund that and not just the markdown file.
The sensor cook modes actually do that, they run a test cycle on low, then dial up the heat for the last bit. It works great.

Convincing the boyfriend of that, is harder.
>People go out of their way to install something else and don't use Edge and Bing because they are worse than the competition. Make a better product and people will actually use it.

Well, Edge has objectively been better than Chrome on Windows (faster, less memory usage, longer battery life) for years now, but almost nobody knows this as people still default to installing Chrome out of 10+ years of habit.

Humans are creatures of habit and the bad and good impressions from the old days tend to stick around regrades if the current realities have shifted, because people aren't into browser hopping for the sake of experimentation, especially if they're already invested in the ecosystem of one browser (have their cookies already there, have their passwords already stored, have an Android or a Chromebook).

Edge could even cure cancer and people still wouldn't use it or give it a try, because the image that the default browser shipped with Windows (IE, Edge, whatever it happens to be called) must automatically be crap and Google's browser must automatically be better.

So market success in the browser space is clearly no longer about having the better product, otherwise FF would have a higher market share, but about having the stronger brand and supporting ecosystem.

The history of Rob 'CmdrTaco' Malda [audio]
You know, the US spends most of our government money on old people too (social security, medicare, etc.). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget#/... We just get less bang for the buck for it because our healthcare and housing are so terribly inefficient and expensive, and we don't have a strong culture of familial support.

We can't build high speed rail either -- we can't even keep our low-speed rail running well -- and our answer to expensive healthcare is typically just "let them die, we can replace them" (immigration too, except we don't have to give our immigrants anything, just wink and pretend we hate them).

At the end of the day no society has it all figured out yet, but I'd love to live in a place with social services and a less hostile democracy so that all the citizens can work together to figure out next steps, instead of being dragged kicking and screaming by the rich. It's just a more collectivist mindset, not necessarily better or more right in any way.

My sad take is that if we ruin Earth, we don’t deserve a second chance. We would just ruin Mars too.
Well, they probably still fingerprint you and build a profile around that fingerprint - and when you do log in, they probably associate that fingerprint with your profile.
I think we have a hard time thinking through the difference in time scales.

A tree's year is as our day. Can you imagine what a 200 day full lifespan might be like?

I've cleared forest, and watched the white oaks that were suddenly in the open pop out and double in size in 15 years. 60+ year old trees. They seem appreciative, as far as i can tell. They all started leaking sap to feed bees immediately; the forest dwelling siblings nearby do much less of that. Perhaps this is bragging on their advantageous position.

I think the actual thinking happens at a larger level. Areas of forest linked by fungi underground have moods, that we can feel a little.
Companies regularly have a clause in their subscription that if the service is discontinued they get a perpetual right to the last version. Sadly this doesn't seem common for consumer software.
Huh? What user? I think you misunderstand the pipeline. When they steal my phone, they’re not refurbishing my phone to resell it. They’re scrapping my phone — taking all the expensive components out of my phone: the screen, the touch sensor, etc — and selling them to repair shops to be used as parts to repair other people’s phones. People who, obviously, authorize those repairs. But I don’t!

(If you know what an illegal car “chop shop” is, they operate under the same business model: stolen preowned product as an input, replacement parts sold to repair shops — or used in their own “repair shop” — as an output.)

The exact point of “hardware DRM” is that it allows me to retroactively revoke my consent for the parts of my phone to ever be used again inside some other person’s phone, through the cloud, at the moment I realize my phone has already been stolen.

(Also, FYI, there’s nothing specifically Chinese about this pipeline. It’s not like this is a scam being run by the Triads or anything. Rather, it’s just unchecked capitalism. The gangs that go around stealing phones are small-time local groups of thieves, who have realized they can make a buck by selling and delivering wholesale lots of these phones to amoral “phone chop-shops” who happen to reside in Shenzhen. Those “phone chop-shops” are only in Shenzhen because that’s where all the demand is for the huge number of parts generated by scrapping a phone, and because they can’t sell these parts on without cash-only handshake deals.)

To be clear, the “phone chop-shop” never ask any gangs to steal phones for them, either. They just say they’ll “buy phones in any condition.” (Which is why I say they’re amoral, not immoral.) Everything that happens from then on is the natural consequence of a market optimizing for profitability.

On a related topic, the true point of Apple’s “authorized repair” program, was to penalize any repair shop who knowingly purchased parts from a “phone chop-shop” by disallowing them from ever again purchasing genuine parts; thus creating a disincentive from ever buying these grey-market parts.
>the numbers are good

The numbers are meaningless, even if they are accurate, which I sincerely doubt. GDP is up 5%? My salary hasn't gone up 5%, but my grocery bill has gone up way more than 5%. Health insurance costs went up more than 5%. Maybe all those increases in prices are boosting GDP, but wages aren't keeping up. Maybe the numbers are hand-waving nonsense.

People know whether they are doing okay or not. GDP is a blunt instrument metric of little value except as a broad comparison. But noting that it "happens during a Democrat presidency" is quite telling.

Europe's demographics simply cannot support the size of their social safety nets. European countries are already relying more on immigrants, but immigration from central / eastern europe is already tapped out.

That only leaves you with immigrants from beyond the EU. Most of those who have any skills are going to try to get into the US. The ones that can't are probably going to try and get residency / citizenship in canada and get in via a TN visa.

Europe is left with the remainder, and unskilled migrants from cultures which frankly have a much harder time integrating into a western one. Over the long term it's a pretty dire situation.
this is the big problem. I hope there's a fix for it someday.

I think multiple side-by-side columns would be great. Actually, do you know of any sites that actually re-flow text like that? It’d love to see it.

I don’t really want text to reflow to be, like 23, inches wide or whatever. Books with 23 inch wide pages are quite rare, because, I think, that is too much horizontal space, scanning that far with you eyes can become a drag. Of course, if a page just uses the whole width uninterrupted for text I can just give it half the screen, so that is fine. But I’m curious, do you actually like the look of a page like that? Or is this just on principle—respect user choice and all that (if so, good principle!)

In general web devs seem to think way too much about the layout of pages, if they would just do the simple thing users could resize the window to their liking.
Integrate, which is a two way street. Ypur the thord xommwnter here using "assimilate" instead of "integrate", that is curious.
Housing crisis, wars, uncontrolled immigration, high taxation, crumbling infrastructure (atleast here in ireland), declining economies. You name it.

Not to be pedantic, but it's called an "Audit Log", usually. So, it is logging, though if you don't keep your logs forever, it is usually logged to a db or something (but that isn't necessary -- depends on the industry, privacy policy, etc.).

> If it's not in the task, you don't do it. If you think it should be done, you backlog it...

You shouldn't have to be told to do your job. One day, someone is going to ask why X wasn't done (when it clearly should have been, by all industry standards, and especially when it is exactly one line of code) and "I was just following orders" doesn't work in any court, including the ones that get you fired.

When implementing auth, almost no PM is going to write down "mitigates timing attacks" as part of the acceptance criteria, but you do it anyway because it is the right way to do it.
Immigrants are extremely valuable for a country like the U.S. You basically get a free adult that that another country paid to raise and educate. Even a poorly educated immigrant is a net positive on average. Of course, the best immigrants are illegal immigrants because they can be maximally exploited and can make minimal claims to the services they pay for with their taxes.
Tangent. In my admittedly limited experience, embedded code seems to have a tendency to be some of the worst code you can come across. The stuff is already low level and not the most easy to follow, but then embedded developers seem to despise names with more than two letters and a number. Without the datasheet at hand it is impossible to figure out what any of the code does because everything is just an abbreviation or acronym from some block or pin-out diagram.
It is pretty amazing to realize Apple's oft-commented upon huge pile of cash could be entirely attributed to google payments...

And to me makes it make sense that a company with enough control over search that they can pay other companies 18 billion a year to maintain that control, may be an antitrust issue. I don't actually know much about antitrust law, but it seems like paying competitors to stay out of your business to maintain your monopoly might run afoul of it.
Their ring logger was really enlightening to me about the value of Rust enums. Heterogeneous log events are dropped into the ring with some holding only the fact that something happened, and others holding additional data about what happened. Then Humility is able to print out the contents of the ring either online or in crash dumps. This is how you get logging in nostdlib Rust without ending up without half of a badly implemented printf. Instead, Humility, which has the full stdlib available, formats the enums for the firmware.

Ask HN: How does IAM work with monorepos?
Google, Meta, and others, famously use the monorepo architecture for storing source code.

I'm just confused how can this work at as scale when Least Privilege is a fundamental concept in security. Does this mean that devs at product X can view the code of product Y etc? Or is the IAM implemented below the repo level?

Thanks
The problems of the UK and US declining industrial base is due to lack of “protectionism” as you call it. Really it’s been a de facto industrial policy of disinvestment and off shoring driven by financialization of their economies over the last ca. 45-years. Free capital flows benefit capitalists, not ordinary citizens.
In day-to-day life the concept of "God" is used nonsensically at best, and often maliciously, so it's natural to dismiss it as cynical bullshit.

But taking those mushrooms, one can see that there is something real in that direction, just obscured by millennia of deceit and misdirection.

I think we've used the convection microwave part exactly once. Mostly we just use it as a microwave.
Sadly it's a logical progression: as we build, pave & pollute everywhere, places 'untouched' by humanity become ever harder to find.

And thus people go out & seek such places. Result: even fewer of them.

Reminds me of how a blockbuster movie showing beautiful locations can turn those into to tourist hotspots. Often destroying such places' beauty.
Bing makes over $11 billion a year now though, so that's not a bad ROI.
The vendor feedback is that the iPhone SE would be on the high-end, in terms of durability & quality, of what they sell comparatively as Android phones. To paraphrase him, iPhones are high-end or very high-end, and comparing prices for repair is not necessary bad for iPhone users.

But with a more low-end Android phone, you can get cheaper repairs.

I still hope that a bit more options for parts will lead to lower prices, because I prefer to keep devices as long as possible.
