You don’t have to go down any of those definition rabbit holes. It doesn’t matter because you can count the platforms that really have an impact on probably one hand.

Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android. I’m up for including game consoles on this list.

That sounds reasonably similar to me. People keep buying iPads for classrooms because “it puts technology in the classroom” or something like that. Then they break and get sold for scrap.
You say this, but then plot a graph of "historic interest of the US in the ME" against, "oil dependency on the middle east" -- you'll find out why US influence is at a historic low.

The widthdrawl from afganistan wouldntve happened without shale, america would be giving up a overwhelming order-imposing capacity in the region to induce chaos; that wouldnt make sense if it needed the ME as it did in the 2000s.

It's not entirely clear how relationships would exist in the ME if it wasnt the site of great power resource competition. The superstructure of the current setup, indeed the borders of the countries we are talking about, are drawn by these issues.

You are indeed agreeing with me when you say that part of what's happening is waning US "influence" (really: interest) -- the US has had, since obama, an explicit ME withdrawl policy that it's never been able to fully execute.

What we are, indeed, seeing are the effects of that withdrawl over time.
“Fundamentally redesigned the office experience.” That’s hilarious.

The only thing WeWork did to change the office experience was to make co-working spaces resemble the modern tech office rather than the old Regis boomer cube farm. The concept already existed, you just had to copy and paste it from your choice of trendy tech company.

To be frank, the only lasting difference is the choice in furniture.
Maybe that’s because in both comparisons you’ve mentioned cities not in the EU
Weird, I use it with Firefox every day.
It always pizzles me, when people seem to think German gas imports from Russia are a recent thing. They are not, they date back to the 70s, the hight of the Cold War, when the imports came from the USSR (!). Reliably and cheap, I might add. And none of that had anything to do with climate change back then.
Sounds like a lot of steps and paperwork… steps and paperwork that might easily and regularly get fudged.

Sorry for being unclear on this. In our case, we needed a couple of engineers who, in addition to their regular duties, would devote their time to Kubernetes as the go-to experts whenever necessary. Some weeks there was nothing to do; other weeks, particularly during cluster updates, they needed to focus exclusively on that work.

I don't get it. If the laptop can already boot up with the tpm and the attacker has the entire laptop, what exactly is broken here? Isn't the TPM mainly there to protect against decrypting the SSD when it's separated from the Mainboard. If windows boots up automatically the encryption key probably could be extracted from the memory somehow too, right?
Nature papers are really diminishing in quality.

A small paper with a linited study on 300 students from Pakistan and China and the result is “Accepting AI without addressing the major human concerns would be like summoning the devils” .

Personal prediciton. AI fears on human IQ is about as valid as fears of the television and computer games have historically been.

Wouldn't make more sense to have the same observability stack on production and development? For instance, open-observe is also a single binary that provides UI for logs, metrics and traces, although every log producer would have to be properly configured and routing to it.

Another idea: maybe chrome dev-tools could be repurposed to display server logs instead of client logs, somehow [2].

Gerhard Schröder was one of the strongest political voices behind the de-nuclearization of Germany. After his chancellorship he was on the board of Rosneft and was appointed to Gazprom's board but I believe didn't end up taking it.

Read into that what you will, but it sounds very geopolitical to me.
Not to mention the fact that due to the very high introductory price you can't appeal to the developers the same way Jobs appealed with the iPhone. Then you had at least millions of existing users to encourage writing "disposable" apps (~ 1$) because 1) there are many potential users 2) they're two clicks aways from paying. The appeal was misleading a little but at least it looked reasonable. With Vision Pro to break even for at least the following a couple of years you will have to charge much more. Funny, even "two clicks away" is a little different here as many reviews mentioned the necessity to get used to the new eyes-based system.
Depending on what exactly you are studying, there is a much more important environment, that has dramatically different outcomes even for the same genes: the uterus you develop in. If you implanted two genetically identical fertilized eggs into two different women, you'd see a much larger difference, since the mother's body has a significant active role in controlling gene expression, one that's often forgotten about in such discussions.
Shipping of raw resources is cheap. Much of the bauxite used in aluminum cans in N America is shipped to Kitimat BC [0] to be smelted. Aluminum is notoriously electrically expensive.

South Australia also has a de-salination plant to protect against drought and the other states over-using the main river that runs through them. As well the steel plant is trying to go green through a local hydrogen electrolysis plant (an article related was on the frontpage today).

Both processes running off a renewable grid is a great step forward.

But if the second and third and fourth source exists (let us suppose the 5th doesn't) what will the kids trust, the AI or the search engine? We all know that google is becoming crap and high schools on average don't have a 'proper' library so... Will they assume the first source exists but isn't indexed?

I just think it's a real issue to give kids free access to a tool that so confidently makes stuff up. I know that textbooks aren't perfect but they're at least audited by a committee of experts, mistakes slip in but there's oversight, there's a procedure to ensure that they're reliable representations of (currently understood) facts, and that when politics enters the textbook production process it (correctly) becomes a bit of a national scandal.

Only if you are off-grid, otherwise without the grid you have no power unless you get a setup that uses an inverter that is of an entirely different class than the ones commonly used. And then you need a substantial amount of local storage as well and you're going to have an absolutely minimal energy budget in the winter.
I really find it disingenuous to imply that we can’t build moon rockets because we’re not good enough at engineering projects - I can think of a few engineering projects that took off last year, to say the least. And nasa doesn’t deserve the shade IMO. The kids of the people who built the Apollo program aren’t working at boeing or fighting for one of the few underpaid nasa positions - they’re building reusable rockets for the Twitter CEO, and, much more commonly, parasitic UX features for gig economy apps.

TL;DR: we’re fine at engineering, we’re terrible at resource allocation. Or at least that’s the more relevant cause. I post this knowing full well that this is HN and I might well be disagreeing with a senior nasa employee…
>The title makes it sound like Bitlocker's encryption is what was being broken, but what is broken is the key exchange on some laptops.

Performance reviews should be kept separate from OKRs. I view these two concepts as follows:
1. Performance reviews or performance management are tied zo an individual, their role and their career.
2. OKRs are Independent of the individual as they are driven by the company’s strategic and operational goals. While every KR is owned by an individual, this individual is responsible only for managing the measurement, coordinating collaboration and escalating to superior Objective or Key Result owners as soon as the Key Result is no longer on track.

This implies that if you were replaced by someone else, they would inherit your OKRs but not your performance management including your performance reviews, personal development goals and career aspirations.

One way to do this is by rating performance based on both contributions to OKRs owned by the individual as well as those of others and rating performance as high only if both are exceptional.
Which is being under attack by some people who want to build a hegemonic monolith dominated by few.
That sounds like all mainstream technology. Might as well get the kids used to it

No countries are "bent on energy dependence", because it isnt feasible.

The day-to-day idle chatter of your local representative is really irrelevant over the time horizons of a green transition. This is cultural ideological wash. If there were no security or economic basis for green transition, it would fail upon contact with any non-trivial security or economic issue.

Consider that the UK fired up coal plants when energy prices rose too much. Did it really ask the public to be colder for awhile? Of course not. Ours do not suffer, but theirs (be it india, china, africa...) well they ought not use coal that causes climate change!

The idea that green transition could happen for "values" reasons is ahistorical nonsense -- the values of all countries are the prosperity and the survival of their nation, and anything which threatens this will be handled ruthlessly.

It's rather dangerous to hold any stock in the idle ramblings of politicians speaking under no material duress -- they will say anything and promise anything, as will any of us, when it's cheap to do so. This is hot air. A kind of hot air the rest of the world now understands the west produces with abandon, it is now clear to everyone outside our countries what sort of propaganda we prefer. And it is this sort (moralising about values in the summer, ruthless hypocrisy in the winter).

So my comment here is to point out, to those who can take a longer view of these issues than that printed in newspapers, that there are macro forces at work preserving the green transition -- which is quite reassuring.

In the world we're entering, security competition is returning and this will be a significant drive of war-time-like funding behind energy transition. This is great news.

You're no doubt right that much of the current political class is unaware and unfit to transition their thinking fast enough to handle this; but they will. Most politicians of the last 200 years thought this way quite naturally.

Facebook was a fairly static site back then, but small is a relative term here. I don't mean to say it was only meant to do that. Just that the origins of React are a far cry from the complexity of SPA frameworks like Next JS. And it can still be used as quite a simple drop in component system. Nothing is stopping you from doing that. Which is why people often say React is not a framework but a library, because it's true.

That is exactly the wrong model. Genes are only a part of how your body is formed, and two identical genotypes will not produce identical phenotypes if the environment, especially the very very early environment of the egg/uterus, is different. That's why we can't grow babys in vats, for example, and are having massive issues even trying to grow tissues in vitro (and growing whole organs is not even a dream for now).

Consider also that your neurons, your red blood cells, your muscle cells, your liver cells, your fat cells etc all have the exact same genes. And yet, they are vastly different between each other, and you'll never see a fat cell divide into a red blood cell and a neuron, even though they are "built of the same blueprints".
I mentioned them due to their geographic positional extremes. Replace Istanbul with Athens, London with Amsterdam and Oslo with Stockholm ıf you want to include EU only cities and its the same thing, just slightly narrower geography.

You don't "need" an application framework.

People have been building websites (even SPAs) before the 2010s and they didn't "need" these frameworks.

Given what we know today, I'll grant you that in some cases people would want to use a framework, but it's hardly a necessity unless the context provides more specific requirements.
The DX of k8s is deceptively simple. You might be forgiven for believing that you have got your own private Heroku in your own backyard which you totally own and control.

But - Oh boy! The complexity over complexity of moving parts that themselves are a moving target sometimes.

First, there's PKI which you should know all about certificates, signing, expiring, issuing, reissuing or no part of the cluster talks to the other. If you think you can get away with that, the post above had two outages both related to certs.

Next is the etcd - you should know how to configure that. A totally different separate product in its own right, a distributed key store that has whole memory of the system. Like what's where and such.

Then you have whole DNS running. That again is a whole separate product in its own right whose administration you must master or else.

And then comes Networking, the CNI plugin and their internals and if you think you can skip that part, either you have to pay likes of weaveworks (defunct) or Cillium etc or be ready for an incident.

And yet I have not talked about ingress controllers, cloud controllers, their configurations and other issues.

To top that all, you need to manage all that configuration and package it so now you need Helm and Flux - templated (Helm uses Go templates, if not worst out there) and layered (kustomised) YAML upon YAMl, thousands of lines and that's not just all, hold on!

All that configuration language is constantly a moving target from Helm Charts to k8s manifests. Sometimes totally incompatible (like flux to flux2 was almost not so portable) and such so upgrades are going to be so much painful, you just can't imagine even if you're on a managed k8s platform.

I say this from my own experience of setting up k8s self managed from scratch across different clouds. I have my scars.

Michael Levin appears to be demonstrating that cells have a goal-seeking intelligence operating more or less independently of directions from the nucleus. Since literally every cell on earth arose by fission from another cell, the lineage of this intelligence goes back in an unbroken line to their first common ancestor billions of years ago, with natural selection operating on it directly by success at solving problems of survival and reproduction in real time, not just via selection of genes.

In a similar way, every membrane in every cell came from extending and then splitting an existing membrane, again more or less independently of the nucleus. Natural selection has operated directly on those membranes, besides its role in adapting the genes that code for subunits of the membranes.

The nucleus might be thought of as mainly a library of apparatus that the cell's goal-seeking capacity may draw upon as needed. This analogy is necessarily limited because there are innumerable feedback control cycles encoded in genes and repressor and promoter proteins they encode, and enzymes to methlylate or de-methylate start and stop codons.

But something is in charge that operates on a shorter scale than those can. We understand very, very little about that intelligence. It is far more capable than we could ever have guessed. It barely seems possible, with as few moving parts as we know about.

This myth keeps on perpetuating. But if you look at the numbers, coal generation in Germany has basically been in a slow decline since it peaked about fifteen years ago, which is also when they started getting rid of nuclear, which was never a big part of their energy generation. Coal usage could have been declining faster of course without that. And recent events have made Russian gas a bit less attractive and they burned a bit more coal. But now that the gas crisis is contained, they'll get back on track cleaning up the energy economy. Winter is coming to an end here and absolutely nobody is talking about cold showers and lowering the heating here anymore like last year.

LNG is expensive so they have some incentive to get rid of their dependency on that. It doesn't really make sense to use that for electricity generation.

I'm not super hopeful they will be able to completely get rid of coal by the 2030s like they have been insisting they will. But it will eventually get done. And it's one of those things where the more coal gets shut down, the more attractive it gets to get rid of the rest as well.

That's also why they got rid of their last three nuclear plants. I agree, not their wisest move, but on the other hand it kind of focused them on a future without nuclear. Which, like it or not, seems what they've committed to. I don't see that change anytime soon. Those three plants disappearing is in the past. It's done. Next up is shutting down brown coal. That's something some parties are still resisting. But they are under a lot of pressure to get rid of this embarrassingly dirty industry.
