There's a crash plan to save species of dying coral and another plan to develop/disperse heat-/acid-resistant species.

I bet this is unfortunately, uncomfortably true. There are major behavioral changes needed that can't be left to incentives or voluntary changes when survival is at stake. ICEs, meat agriculture, airline travel, unconfined clinker manufacturing and fossil fuel extraction must end if we're to survive this climate emergency. In addition, Be/CCS must happen, such as ferrous ocean seeding and seaweed extraction for contained burning with underground carbon emissions sequestration. Mexico is already dealing with an incredible volume of seaweed arriving daily on prime tourist beaches... which would be perfect for CCS if we were to burn it to generate power, reduce its volume and bury captured emissions very deep.

I needed this info because I was worried about exercising. I have anxiety-like physiological issues, tachycardia, high blood pressure and exercise intolerance without clear causes. I was even admitted to Stanford's cardiac unit for a week, leaving without a clear identified cause after a battery of tests including a 12 lead ECG, stress echo and catheterization. I suspect pulmonary hypertension as I was never ever able to run a mile continuously to save my life at any age without being out of breath, and I have an undiagnosed CTD like Marfan but not (span > 1.0 and many other indicators). Been on propranolol er 160 mg for about a year and 10 mg/dose CBD isolate tincture for about 8 months.

Yes. Projection is a terrible thing to waste, but often contrary data points fall on deaf ears and empty bodies.

If society wanted to be more humane and empathetic, it would force all young adults to be homeless and impoverished for some time, and working three jobs to get a taste for how it is for everyone else that isn't sheltered or privileged. The golden rule and empathy isn't practiced as much anymore because there are greater convenient distractions, selfishness, ignorance and lack of community that has the effect of atomizing people from each other... we are mostly divided-and-conquered and enslaved.

People think I'm crazy not to go prostitute myself for a job at Google; I think they're crazy for volunteering to be bridled and ridden around for 20 hours a day for years without having equity or ownership in the profits.

It was an Airbus, so at least it was at less risk from breaking-up on a hard landing and killing passengers.

Speaking with a friend in a coffee shop yesterday, they mentioned this axiom:

If you want expertise to engage, post something with a mistake and there will be no shortage of keyboard warriors telling you how stupid and wrong you are, with a small amount of helpful information.

It seems a modern taking the shit with the sugar.

Be/CCS could realistically reduce CO2 to preindustrial levels (280-300 ppm) for about the cost of the needless war adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan, therefore it's affordable.

Have you any idea how successful censorship is on TV? Don't know the answer? Hmm... successful, isn't it?

140 hours and no ownership equals slavery in my book. It's sad that more engineers don't insist on working at meaningful-ownership co-ops and ESOP's. Working for somebody else's C-corp where they're all about the money rarely creates a good environment in the interests of workers.

Wise move. All Boeing aircraft designed, built or remanufactured in the past 30 years (since regulation has been very weak / absent) are at systematic risk of being deficient in potentially an unlimited number of areas.

Another example of a MAX-like issue is in 2010 Al Jazeera uncovered the plot to hide the facts about the substandard Ducommun critical structural parts that were used on 737 NG (-600 .. -900) and covered-up by Boeing management. The story barely made headlines even though several 737 NG fuselages have broken up on hard landings and runway overruns, killing several passengers, whereas previous fuselages have survived such stresses.

It is a shame that regulatory capture (through political corruption) has been allowed to fester and decay the output of Boeing.

Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

There seems to be a common mania state of irrational exuberance with unrealistic hopefulness. It has many examples: people in love, positive/devout Christians, big-idea startup startup and even residents of Raqqa under the Islamic State playing in the river Tigris, unreasonably hopeful about their future.

To bring the point home, unrealistic hopefulness or hopelessness sets a person up for failure. Whether they internalize any resulting failures into bitter anomie and desire for omni/suicide depends on an individual's coping skills, ideology and social support (or lack of each thereof). Combine a lack of hope, opportunities and many negative experiences leads to angry people who take their pain and loneliness, and wish to lash out.

The HP 48 calculator seems fairly homoiconic. Binary compiled programs and symbolic ones alike can be pushed on the stack, stored, dropped.

A dilettante complains about something they "learned," as opposed to committing to mastering it with real use and then forming an informed opinion. PEBKAC seems the more likely explanation.

Why can't Flanders copy the nicer biking path system of Netherlands (Holland)?

I've biked on both, ~300 km.

Hey Skippy, don't get any water or coffee on the helm controls, or it might either not respond or go full ahead/reverse.

^-- Just one class of examples of what could wrong with not having physical controls.

Also, it takes a smaller explosive to crack/damage a touchscreen than physical controls into uncontrollability... and now you have a billion dollar paperweight.

Most of them work well. There's one I had to remove because it caused kernel panics.

This is concerning. It's also concerning when the country you live in contains as many idiotic conspiracy theories shared hundreds of thousands of times just like the DRC.

It depends on how an exploit is monetized; the devils is in the terms: exclusivity, duration, scope and level of access. A non-exclusively-licensed exploit that can be sold 50x for $50k/year is bank ($2.5m/yr). If I were to spend 6-9 months developing a good exploit, I wouldn't give it Apple if and only if money were the primary and sole motivation. However, it makes sense to blog about it, turn it in to Apple and leverage such a discovery into outside Angel funding for a startup... that is if Apple doesn't require onerous NDAs. If the terms from Apple weren't favorable (they're likely to be terrible), then reselling it makes sense if you were really broke or going nonprofit security disclosure route at least parlays it into cred.

There's only one party, the Property party, with two wings: Democratic and Republican. - Gore Vidal

(And that's my limit of political commentary on HN.)

You're conflating an exploit for a narrow bug target class with a malware package which likely contains one or more exploits and probably a payload. The act of exploiting requires much more than an exploit alone to have the desired effect.

There's a common attack that boosts the wireless signal of proximity fob to trick the vehicle into unlocking & starting. Fob wireless systems should ideally redesigned such that the round trip time is precisely measured of only valid encrypted challenge responses that only the fob can answer.

Spending a bunch of money on a luxury vehicle is usually idiotic and most people who do so usually can't afford it in proportion to their income sheet and balance sheet. Plus, it advertises the owner and the vehicle as targets for all sorts of criminal intrigue.

"Innovation" is increasingly newspeak for "regression."
