From the OP:
"But if warming reaches 2C, similar episodes will become an extra 5% more intense and 50% more frequent, the WWA warned."
"once in a century" doesn't mean literally once a century, but rather a percentage probability over time. Having a couple in quick succession is actually not that strange.
TFA manages to say everything except what actually happened and why it’s this particular peering negotiation they decided to whine about. (Settlement-free peering is cutthroat at the best of times, as best as I can understand from the outside, so it is unclear why this is even news.) So could you elaborate on the actual history here?

That's why sign-offs from reviewers are "required", no?

It seems the correct mentality to encourage people to do hack on the kernel, show that things are possible, they are "working on my machine", and then ... yeah, they will need to go through the usually length process of getting it merged.

But starting with "synchronization between different teams" usually gets shrugs and "let's get back to it soon"-s.

Most people believe in ghosts, if you get them to be honest. Aliens probably aren't far from that. We're just kind of hard-wired to believe that the further you get from our day-to-day life, the more likely monsters are there.
The comment you replay to literally praises the fact that we have rain again, as opposed to several almost arid climate years in Europe.

Remember when the rivers were too dried up in France for the nuclear plants to function? Then everyone said that due to climate change we'd soon have an arid climate in Germany.

So, according to "peer reviewed data", we go from an arid 2020 to rain forest 2024 in just four years due to climate change. Remarkable.

You are right in that I'd be afraid if this was hosted on AWS or on Cloudflare Workers. This whole idea is only possible because there are some hosts like Hetzner, which offer flat rate bandwidth.
There is a surprisingly vocal and toxic community that are fringe members on both sides of the aisle on HN.

Hypothetically a good thing, but in action it tends to derail most conversations.

The whole COVID Pandemic, the 2020 election, (edit: and the shutdown of SlateStarCodex) definetly brought a lot of nuts out of the woodwork, and they never left.

Edit: Here's an example below. It's one account that I've had significant arguments with before. In addition, it's also a "new" (post-2021) account, ime all of whom don't tend to provide the level of discourse comparable to earlier HN users (yes, I recognize the irony as a combative newish throwaway)

There was a large increase in HN usewebase around that time when the SlateStarCodex forum shut down.

By that logic the powers that be can arbitrarily decrease the amount of money for social or science programs at any time at their whim. Why do any science when you could be feeding the starving, and money could run out at any second?

That's ridiculous, though. But it's the logical extreme of the defeatist argument that there's no way to get more money for these things.

I've noticed the fringe hot takes tends to occur around this time of day on HN, which is 5am in SV (some of us wake up very early to run/bike without getting run over, as well as answer EMEA emails).

So you could make a lot of noise with those things.

I wonder if that's precisely the sentiment that has been part of the reason the USA has become the country with the highest % of incarcerated people. I'm not an American, so I'm wondering if there's a cultural difference here that explains the different feelings / viewpoints.

2 years + owing money to the feds + not being able to get a job: this person will suffer the consequences for her action for the rest of her life. Whether it's fair or not (I'll get to that point later), it's a huge deterrence for commiting crimes, particularly for white collar crimes like this.

Regarding the fairness of the punishment: I have zero feelings about this. The punishments should be chosen to make society work: deter future crimes, keep people that are harmful and hopefully help them change course. In this case, there's also providing incentives to cooperate.

I don't need people to suffer for stuff. If it's needed somehow for society to work, them great, but I don't feel (as many in this thread seem to feel) that long periods of suffering is needed for some reason (to appease their sense of justice? God? The victims? All of the above?). And let's be clear: the suffering in higher levels of security prison in the USA is on a whole different scale.
"but given the court ruling concerning the unprecedented and unacceptable fees demanded"

From (father being a fireman/worked in many search and rescue operations).

TL:DR from a fireman:

My father has always been saying "water will find a way". As progress+civilization expand, there is less and less free/open ground. Roads, parking lots, shopping centers, more roads, train tracks (elevated = blocking water), rivers being covered, fires, etc. Water doesn't care, it wants to go through - it will go through.

In the "good old days" it would rain X amount up on that mountain, and 10% of X amount will find its way towards your town. Now, burn that mountain, then add 50 roads/highways/etc. Now 40% of X amount will find its way towards your town.

By the way your town has 30% less free ground (roads, parking lots, etc.)

Thus, floods. You can (rightfully so) poke 100 holes on the above, because each town/village/mountain/river is different, but the point/spirit remains. "Water will find a way".

EDIT: I am always fascinated to read in the news that the (e.g.) "Old lake" flooded again after 30 years". Guys!!! The name of the location is "Old Lake", which means that for about a couple of million years water has been converging there. The fact that some people built there, doesn't Water/Nature from doing its thing.

Love that you have been improving this idea since 2012 !! I think enriching HN is a super interesting problem I have also thought about quite a lot. The realtime angle looks really good fun to see likes/page position as it happens. I notice you show "Top Comments" in the details and wonder how you determine this since afaik there is no concept of likes for individual comments only stories from the API. I need go looking at the API again I found one method somewhere that would return the whole story with all comments fully sorted in order together in a single json so I guess if the "best" comments float to the top of their branch you could track that over time. Just curious and wanted to say this looks amazing !!
The reason is confidentiality agreements after a settlement. This isn’t a settlement.
You have to lie to get elected because you can't actually promise anything. If you could fulfill every single promise / lie then you already had powerful enough corruption seeded in whatever thing you were trying to get elected into.

What? You mean out of the kindness of your heart you want to get elected so you could actually painstakingly and arduously fight for every single thing that you said you would fight for? Or is it a stepping stone for further power grabs later on? It's literally all power. That's why the ones that get elected and have campaigns very well suited to get elected shouldn't get elected.

Although I used to think that with how slowly things move in government that people always make the false connection between current elected official and bad things that were put into place with the past elected official. But now things seem to be moving faster and stuff can just happen that actually is attributable to the current elected official.

I'm sticking with what my dad taught me, it's complicated.
The value from a surface probe that can sample those brown stains is immeasurable. Imagine an HD video of the guysers, or an imaging spectrometer using refraction from the sun through a guyser (or whatever I'm not a scientist) and picking up strange amounts of something that can't be explained by just water and salt. Or even a detailed radar scan of the subsurface - are there pockets of warm water?

Limiting probes to only those that can get through 10s of kms of ice is short-sighted.

Yes this is a problem and it can (and has) lasted for centuries.

I think this is the best way to talk about the difference between science as a process vs science as what people in white lab coats do.

People have a tendency to conclude that we should abandon science if something isn't quite right. It's better to think in terms of what will get us un-stuck from a local minimum/maximum.
IME, using an Nginx or WAF layer lets the "ops people" make changes to the things you mention (TLS config, URL rewrites, etc.) without getting the "app people" involved. There's a bit of "Conway's Law" going on here, depending on the reporting structure and political makeup of the organization.
I use a simple two-level hierarchy. If you add one extra level to what you have, I think you'll find it works pretty well.

medical/eye-doctor

medical/dermatologist

bankA/account1234

bankA/account5678

bankB/account9999

https://johnnydecimal.com/ is a slightly more elaborate system. The basic idea is the same though, just have a fixed number of levels, it turns out 2 levels works very well. You don't need to overthink the categories at each level too much, e.g. maybe bankA + bankB could be "finance" instead.

finance/bankA-account1234

finance/bankA-account5678

finance/bankB-account9999

If there number of second-level directories gets out of hand, split it up into multiple, more-specific top level directories. If you just have 1 or two second-level directories, combine into a more generic top level directory.

Lets say you end up with 20 ish top level directories, and they each have 20 ish second level directories... now you cn have 400 ish directories (which is plenty), but you only have one "screenful" at each level to ls, navigate, etc.

Within each folder, the files are named YYYY-MM-DD-some-name.pdf. The second level folders are generally some individual/organization/account, and all the things pertaining to that relationship go in there - so, the eye doctor receipt goes in:

medical/joe-smith-md/2024-09-25-receipt.pdf

The joe-smith-md subfolder has all the things from that doctor... receipts, prescriptions, charts, whatever, with dated filenames.

Uhhh yeah, the whole issue with climate change is the system’s equilibrium getting narrower and narrower, so swings to extreme states become more common and more severe.

Yes, it is a remarkable behavior of complex systems like weather, but we see it in all complex systems as they spin out of control.

That's right, I have a blog post cooking up about why Electric is for experts today. A major factor in this is because, like with Clojure, the users aren't paying us, so the documentation you want cannot yet afford to exist. Another is performance - to get Electric to purr you have to understand what you are asking the computer to do (I've seen the stuff senior engineers type with their AI codegen tools, that approach is simply not viable here, at least not yet). The net impact of these two factors is that if Electric is not obviously the exact thing you know you must have—i.e., you are already succeeding or have the possibility of succeeding with something else—there is high risk that your adoption will not succeed, leaving you frustrated and unhappy! Failed projects do neither of us any good, that is a recipe for a damaged brand.

A bonus third factor is that the demos we've been cooking up internally—that we haven't revealed yet—are so f%cking incredible that everyone is going to be motivated to use and learn it anyway because Electric yields value that is previously unseen and unavailable anywhere else. So I am simply setting healthy expectations for success. For example, we just built the 80% that matters of the “sync engine” value prop in two weeks and 100 LOC. Implementing it in userland requires 1 LOC per query. With differential network traffic for over the wire O(1) remote incremental collection maintenance! for free! And the pattern works with any database!
+1 to that

Both my kids did try out Scratch, and would create a lot of funny things with it on rainy days. It is well thought through and easy to learn.
> You can send half-random input in and then send more half-random input in until you’re satisfied that the RNG has gotten a suitable amount of entropy.

This does not actually work. If an attacker can observe output of the CSPRNG, and knows the initial state (when it did not yet have enough entropy), then piecemeal addition of entropy allows the attacker to bruteforce what the added entropy was.
To be safe, you need to add a significant amount of entropy at once, without allowing the attacker to observe output from an intermediate state. But after you've done that, you won't ever need to add entropy again.

It's not clear from this statement, but it sounds like FB are alleging that DT are limiting access to FB apps and services to clients who are DT customers because FB are not paying DT ?

This would go against Net neutrality principles but I don't see any facts which support those claims by FB. So it's not clear what this is all about when it seems it broke down during contract renegotians.

This seems dubious though given the German market is extremely well regulated. Also I've never heard of a provider requesting payments for delivering externally hosted services. Maybe some special cases might exists for things like Netflix bandwidth tunnels with ISP's but that's usually a request from the service provider to have special traffic lanes.

Edit : DT customers are being limited.
I'm in europe and was able to accesss the feature with a VPN.

Surprising that there isn't a 'hey siri' for chatgpt yet. Obviously, that would make this sort of feature infinitely more useful. This is what monopoly gatekeeping looks like.

It’s a shame because they took over the Marshall Field building in Chicago (another department store I forgot to mention) which is a gorgeous historic building, so it was kind of nice when Macy’s moved in and fixed it up. Last time I was there it felt like a last-mile warehouse for their online delivery business. Same thing happened to the State St. Sears store just a block away.
