Charged, not convicted. And we're (supposed to be) innocent until proven guilty in the US, so I'm guessing that's likely why she's on paid leave and not terminated.

> I don't know it strikes me as reactionary.

Why is that a problem? At this point in the game most things that need to be done to address climate change and pollution are reactionary.

> If this comes down to CO2 there are bigger fish to fry, no?

You can say that about almost anything. There's always "bigger fish to fry", but that doesn't mean we should only ever deal with the "biggest fish". We regulate car emissions even though ships and airplanes are arguably the "bigger fish". We prosecute thefts even though most people would consider prosecuting murders the "bigger fish".

Seems about right. According to https://www.nasa.gov/feature/facts-and-figures

> In 24 hours, the space station makes 16 orbits of Earth, traveling through 16 sunrises and sunsets.

They do. And they have for a very long time! At least with Avis I've been doing this for years. The app tells me where my car is located and I just walk to it and the key is in it.

I have one of these as well (mine is a different but similar model - GL-AR750S-EXT). But I don't travel often enough, I guess. Because every time I go to use it, it's a struggle to get it to work and I typically just give up.

Last weekend I stayed at a Hyatt, and the first thing I did when I got to the room was power it up. But I couldn't for the life of me get the captive portal page to load when I was connected through it. It worked fine connected directly to the hotel's wifi, but through the router - nothing. So I gave up. It wasn't worth the hassle.

You might have a point with glass - but the can argument is a bit of a straw man. Even coated aluminum cans are significantly better than plastic bottles. They are very easily recycled.

> You're asking for more than just evidence though, you're asking for concrete proof which is very different.

There is neither of these, though. There is only people speculating that they MUST be cheating because they didn't behave exactly as they were expected to.

> By your standards I shouldn't be able to speak until we examine the coin directly [...]

I never made any such statement or made and indication of specific "standards".

We should absolutely look at the coin if it's behaving this way. But we can't just conjecture that it must be weighted with zero evidence of that.

> Finding evidence is very difficult.

That doesn't make it right to accuse people of cheating without any evidence beyond "well a _normal_ person wouldn't have done something like this, so they must be cheating!".

> The person Carlsen accused of cheating has a documented and admitted history of it.

So what? Just because someone has cheated in the past does not in any way prove that they've cheated in this particular case. It only proves they've cheated in the past. Is it suspicious? Sure. But any accusations of cheating are still pure speculation.

> Officials literally found weights inside the fish. Both of those are in this story.

And I specifically mentioned this in my comment.

All these accusations of cheating without any concrete proof are really worrying to me. I've read a few of these threads now, and not once have I seen any actual, real, explicit evidence for cheating.

It looks very similar to the vote rigging claims we're seeing a lot more of recently in the U.S. Don't like the outcome? Just blame your opponent of cheating! No need to show any _real_ proof - just make up some vague claims of what _could_ have happened! And just keep repeating it. And this all seems to working pretty well - THAT is the scary thing

Obviously none of this applies in the case of the fisherman, who seem to have been caught red-handed.

How does that work when it comes to private information like emails, search histories, etc?

Something can give that perception and still be incredibly bad for you and do all the things described in this video. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Wow this is pretty amazing. For those that haven't tried, it's really difficult to piece this sort of thing together. So the fact that this is all provided as a Docker Compose configuration is really awesome.

> The company is a known Oracle Cloud and Microsoft Azure customer.

It's not one extreme or the other. I don't know what was said exactly, but certainly there's some middle-ground - something along the lines of "right now we don't have any layoffs planned and we'll do everything we can to prevent any, but we can't predict the future, especially with the current state of the economy, so certainly can't make any promises".

They even go as far to say that it can affect the game. But they don't really articulate why or how. They sort of imply that it's less likely a player will make a mistake mixing up the pieces - but I find that incredibly hard to believe for this level of players.

It was the best weather API I've ever used, for a few reason:

1. Pricing. It was affordable and straight-forward pricing. There wasn't a huge "tier bump" - I think it was like a flat fee per 1000 requests after the free alotment.

2.You always could expect the same response, regardless of location or date. You could get an hourly forecast 3 years into the future, or 20 years in the past. Most other weather API will give you hourly only from "now" into the next few days. Or you can get daily for the next ten days or something like that. So you had to build logic around into your app. With DarkSky I got the same response no matter the day, time, or location. So it was much simpler to deal with.

3. Accuracy. I was always amazed at how accurate it was.

I don't believe this is true. DarkSky aggregated data from various sources. They also provided "hyper local" forecasts which were very accurate - I don't think NWS has anything like this. And I don't believe the NWS provides weather outside of the US - when I try to get the forecast for Mexico City, for example, I get "Data Unavailable For Requested Point" (https://api.weather.gov/points/19.4333,-99.1333)

I'm wondering the same thing. I was surprised they even released a public API. I thought for sure it would be limited to iOS/macOS apps only. It does require a developers account now - which means an upfront cost for anyone who isn't in the Developer program. And the pricing tiers aren't as friendly as before. But the free tier is much higher now (500,000 now vs 31,000 with DarkSky). Hopefully they don't jack the price up in the future.

> No location permissions needed to get basic weather data, to reduce location permission use by apps when it's only for weather.

This seems tricky. The response currently returns the latitude/longitude, so it could be a possible way for an app to get around requiring location permissions. Even if they excluded that, there are other data points that could probably help narrow things down, particularly when there is an active weather alert, because those tend to specify locations.

It looks like just they extended the dates at which they are shutting things down. This is great news for me because I use their API for a small app and have been putting off updating it to something new, so now I have quite a bit more time.

A developer has started an impressive and ambitious project called Pirate Weather, which I planning on using moving forward, for those looking for "drop-in" alternatives: https://pirateweather.net/

How do GitHub and Gitlab get away with this? Have they been given permission by Conservancy? Or are they in violation?

> I feel like there are still too many hands in this particular cookie jar. MFA or no. On average, how many other organizations & human developers are somehow involved in the dependency graph of a modern node.js project?

What does that really matter, though? You could ask the same of _any_ modern application, NodeJS or otherwise: "On average, how many other organizations & human developers are somehow involved in the dependency graph of a modern application?". Look at your web browser alone. You have an open source rendering engine. The JavaScript engine. The underlying libraries used to handle things like SSL, TCP/IP, DNS lookups. It runs on an OS that likely has layers and layers of open source code. Which runs on hardware from various manufacturers with firmware written by many people spread across many organizations.

I've been using this for years and love it, too. But didn't Apple recently make some change to macOS recently that allows many "system" processes to bypass this?

Because as a developer you can simply run `docker-compose up` and have your development environment working immediately without having to ensure you have all the necessary dependencies installed locally.

And even if you think setting up a "sane development environment" is simple, it gets much more complicated as you add additional languages and versions of those languages, and their underlying frameworks, etc. For example if you look at NodeJS alone: we have things like nvm to switch between Node release versions because you'll often have different projects relying on different versions of Node. Or you could just use Docker and it's baked in, basically.

I looked into it at one point and found it required a lot of underlying services and seemed really complex. Primarily I was worried about the maintenance costs moving forward with something like that.

There is an open-sourced option called GlitchTip (https://glitchtip.com/) that is much simpler to self-host. I believe they forked the Sentry repo before the license change. It's not quite as feature rich but is a pretty great alternative.

That's really surprising to me. I've been building some things with Ory Kratos myself and I find the documentation pretty good. There's definitely room for improvement but I'm typically able to find what I need pretty easily. I certainly find it much more usable than the Keycloak docs.

This sounds like great news for the founders and the team. Congratulations to them!

I met Natalie and Chris years ago when I interviewed for a position at Wildbit (one I really wasn't qualified for). I'm sure they don't remember me, but I was super impressed with them - their approach to business and respect they had for their employees. At a time when I was becoming disillusioned, they showed me that it was possible for a company to be successful without putting profits above all else, and actually showing compassion for their employees. They were one of the first companies I'd heard of who were actually experimenting with 4-day-work weeks.

I think this mindset is becoming a bit more common today, and will only become more common (maybe that's wishful thinking?) - but I think they were _way_ ahead of the curve.

I don't see anywhere that the author is suggesting that deadline must be explicitly defined up-front, or even be fixed. If you're writing something, it _will_ be done at some point (or is expected to be).

In the game Horizon: Zero Dawn (and now Horizon: Forbidden West) the main character Aloy uses a device called a Focus that let's her visualize - usually via a virtual heads-up-display - data about the world around her (things like detecting and tracking nearby objects, or reading data from and interacting with devices).

I don't think it's really a comparable to a voice assistant. It's more "Google Glass" than "Google Assistant".

> there is the infrequent, but apparently very real risk of Google locking your account

Or the very real scenario where you've been using a free Google Workspace account (is that what it's called these days) with a custom domain, and suddenly Google wants to start charging you for it. Meanwhile you've "logged in with Google" using that account across many, many sites and Google hasn't offered anyway to migrate away from that. So you either pay up or lose access to any of those accounts.
