I'm not against trying to replace high polluting resources like coal... I am saying, that perhaps the investment in public solar grids make a lot less sense in many areas, and there is a relatively big impact in mining the materials and shipping the panels, many of which come from China, which is bad about clean build, not to mention shipping itself.

Likewise, trying to push for electric cars doesn't make a lot of sense in that the environmental impact of an electric car takes 5+ years to outweigh that of a gas car, not counting how the electricity is generated. Also, not accounting for the overall impact of replacing said batteries, or other maintenance.

And yes, cost is another issue... depending on what is the replacing technology, there are other cost-benefit analysis that should be done on a case by case bases against the larger impact. I also feel that if we take the premise at reducing pollution, vs. "omg the world is going to die" kind of reactionism it's a bit easier to sell more broadly to conservatives.

Fighting/reducing pollution should be enough of a goal by itself, a large enough portion of the population lives in large enough cities to understand smog and feel it when breathing, some cities far worse than others. The broader (saving the world) mentality doesn't do much on its' own, is much harder to sell, and too big.

If you record in your journal anything that can be perceived to place you near a crime, whether or not you're guilty or the association is a stretch of the imagination, then your words can be used against you without your right to invoke the 5th amendment. If the journal was seized in the execution of a search warrant, you lose the 4th amendment protections too.

The Pi has exposed IO pins so you can use it to control just about anything that uses electricity.

There are two basic groups of users. People looking for a cheap small computer to use for education, gaming, etc. And those who use the Pi as a controller for other projects.

I'm using one as the controller for an open source coffee maker called Mugsy as well as another start up in the music education space.

> Linux isn't really there yet.

It really isn't, quite. I'm using a brand new Dell XPS 13 with the way-too-many-pixels option, and there are a lot of things that have to be tweaked, particularly if you're not running a mainstream desktop environment. Even with tweaks in place, there're places where proportions are off and/or UI elements are way too tiny.

I expect that things will improve within the working lifetime of this laptop, but it's definitely a problem at the moment.

I'd happily donate money to some kind of Linux Dealing With Too Many Pixels Initiative, if someone were going to put together an effort at putting developer time into all the miscellaneous issues and getting fixes into distros / applications / desktops / etc.

Are you talking about U2F? There are no synchronization issues there. And it is more secure than OOB codes because they can be phished. For U2F your browser is in the loop, and the origin to which you are authenticating is folded into the signature. Thus it is detectable by the RP if the signature was generated on a phisher's non-legitimate website.
I think it feels cheap because it feels like rubber and it doesn't have any weight. It feels like a toy when I hold it in my massive hands. My Xbox controllers feel more "real".

I would normally be totally okay with a controller "feeling cheap", and think of it as a positive (especially since it means the price isn't inflated for no good reason), it's just with the mixture of constant-growing-pains that makes me snap out of disbelief and say "why am I using this controller?" to myself a lot.

I in no way think Valve made a mistake making this controller, as I stated I use it a lot, I just think I personally would be more inclined to stick through the growing pains if I had paid more money and was more invested and knew that when I put in the time to configure it perfectly for a game it'd be a "premium" experience all around.

When it comes to a controller, or anything, that I myself just use inside my own apartment and no one else sees ever, I'm not talking about it feeling cheap as a way of not letting me demonstrate my wealth and purchasing power to the world.

This looks remarkably similar to the HP Envy that I bought in 2015: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015AD1ZFA/ The HP has a slightly different port arrangement on the sides and a higher resolution screen.

I'm sure the cost supports the KDE project, but you could buy the HP, install Linux yourself (if you're buying one of these you are probably capable of installing your own OS), and donate $50 to the KDE project and come out ahead-- assuming you live in the USA and can get the old Envy for $715.
I like this a lot, thanks for putting together. Definitely made me think hard about how much of the command line I actually know.
Awesome advice :)
I completely agree... I mainly mean that some resources are less of an impact or more cost effective than others. I'm all for working to reduce pollution for the sake of, and if that means less carbon in the air, awesome. However, if your goal is really reducing some footprints then what materials are used/needed for construction and distribution have a huge impact. Not to mention the infrastructure security of potentially key infrastructure (power grid) relying on parts from an adversarial foreign state.
Without intending any snark, here's a guide to getting upvoted rather than downvoted for a comment like this:

"I think the typography of the issue list makes it hard to look at for me, because ________(insert constructive criticism here)________"

"I doubt that the app is useful to me, because ________(insert thoughtful feedback here)________"

I'm sure both the authors of the app and the HN readership at large would be more receptive to such a post.
Yep - it's a 30 day free trial. After that it's $9/month. Like GitHub, we're also offering a plan for organizations that want to provide Ship to their whole team.

You're right, though - we should mention the free trial part on the front page. Thanks for the feedback and for trying it out!
Even with datasheet values -- rebuilding a RAID5 with 4 TB or even larger disks has a significant chance of failure (iirc about 15 % for HGST MegaScale 4 TB drives; since the BER is pretty much a constant, it will be much worse with larger drives. RAID5 probably does not make much sense with 8, 10 or 12 TB drives.).
> You should support bash's double-star wildcard, which works recursively

It depends on what the educational goals are, but alternatively OP could swing on the opposite direction and go with a very vanilla POSIX sh style shell (maybe dash) to discourage bashisms.

I might of course be bit biased because `find` is one of my favorite utils (generally with -exec instead of -print0|xargs -0) and I practically never use newfangled doublestar globbing
Democracies are 'design by committee', and that's a feature not a bug.

Democracies are ugly, inefficient, buggy, and bloated. Most people don't get what they want, but they agree to form a union because they know that they'll get more than if they were ruled by an autocrat. Democracies are pragmatic.

However, some people naturally want to push their vision onto others. And, there are constant forces at play to do so.

I think the democracies that work best have some common culture. They seem to work better because the core differences are more tightly clustered.
Agreed. I've ripped a lot of old Dr Who, and Decomb has been a lifesaver.
True, one does not imply the other, so "because" is wrong. I meant to say that "Russia (presumably) retaliated because the US does it too."

Geopolitical inevitabilities aside, though, there is plenty of evidence for both the US and Russian governments' manipulations of other countries' elections.
I agree with your statements about the parent's train of thought. I also compose music from time to time, and starting off a piece boils down to three methods (taking drums for example):
1. Copy/pasting a drum loop
2. Writing your own drum loop, although it's most likely a common pattern from the genre of music you intend to create
3. A hybrid of the two, meaning you paste in a drum loop and chop it up to make something unique out of it.

The parent was stating that they don't do the first option, and prefer the second choice. For example, if he/she wanted to make a drum and bass track, they might write their own version of the amen break [1], rather than use a sample from someone else

And "becoming active" can be as simple as starting to call up local clubs, meetups, universities, whatever, and asking to speak about how you can help them in x or y if you're elected. It can be talking to your neighbors or getting in with local bars and bands (depending on the issues your position will preside over). The Los Altos city council had a seat that was won over and incumbent with a difference of like 7 votes last election, these local elections are very accessible.

Running for statewide or federal office is extremely expensive. What I'm saying is, don't do that, at least for your first win. Instead, win a seat on your local library board or parks district.
I don't see the issue with using the name? From what I've read there is no trademark, which means no legal baggage with the name.

A lot of people seem to equate "privacy" with "hiding illegal/immoral stuff"... the biggest part of privacy is simply about decency and dignity and not having to share stuff you'd rather not. Personal hygiene and intimacy are two domains where even if "we have nothing to hide", we generally prefer not to share.
True but I think for the intent of the original question I think most of these offices are largely incompatible with a normal full time job. You'd likely need to be self employed or have an extremely flexible boss/employer because when you're working as a state representative or senator you won't be able to do you normal job.
I disagree that it's undesirable for back-up and restore to be impossible in all cases.

Instead, I would argue that plain-text export of private and secret keys is undesirable, as it removes any protections the HSM was supposed to provide (2 man rule for access, audit of use, etc). Back-up schemes that export these keys (in encrypted form) to another HSM that enforces the same rules as the original HSM can be useful, IMO.
Yes. I'm specifically suggesting not running for federal office, but instead running for local office and using that position --- which is gettable --- as a base for further influence. It's not my idea; it's something a friend of mine, who has done it, is pushing.

Given that their methodology uses embryonic stem cells, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the US with opponent Tom Price as head of Health & Human Services.

> The stem cell procedure Kris received is part of a Phase 1/2a clinical trial that is evaluating the safety and efficacy of escalating doses of AST-OPC1 cells developed by Fremont, California-based Asterias Biotherapeutics. AST-OPC1 cells are made from embryonic stem cells by carefully converting them into oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), which are cells found in the brain and spinal cord that support the healthy functioning of nerve cells. In previous laboratory studies, AST-OPC1 was shown to produce neurotrophic factors, stimulate vascularization and induce remyelination of denuded axons. All are critical factors in the survival, regrowth and conduction of nerve impulses through axons at the injury site, according to Edward D. Wirth III, MD, PhD, chief medical director of Asterias and lead investigator of the study, dubbed “SCiStar.”
What I really want is the exact opposite. I'd like to see a flush-before header to have a particular web page NOT pull older static resources.

The reason is simple. Websites have lots of static content that seldom changes. But you don't know in advance when it is going to change. However after the fact you know that it did. So you either set long expiry times and deal with weird behavior and obscure bugs after a website update, or set short ones and generate extra load and slowness for yourself.

Instead I'd like to have the main request send information that it does not want static resources older than a certain age. That header can be set on the server to the last time you did a code release, and a wide variety of problems involving new code and stale JS, CSS, etc go away.

KDE has the extra layer of Qt in between. That brings a load of benefits thanks to an array of paid professional hands developing the toolkit, but the downside of course is that some of the issues just have to be fixed on the Qt level.

For example, it took a while before the multi-screen support in Qt 5 was mature enough to provide a stable foundation for a desktop environment. I'm sure KDE could solve these problems somehow in-house too, but the fact is that development power is limited so it makes all the sense to solve the issues in the correct layer in the first place.

I don't mind a small screen when I'm using Linux, but that's mostly because I spend most of my time in a full screen terminal with Linux. I don't use KDE, but xmonad and quickly page between mostly fullscreen applications so I don't need as much screen real estate. When I'm using Windows it's a different story, however and I find the a laptop screen really cramped a lot of the time. That's because I'm inevitably using a lot of GUI applications on Windows and they tend not to be as efficient with screen real estate. I haven't used KDE in a long while, but I know that it places a lot of emphasis on visuals and I suspect that it might be in the same place as Windows.

almost any diet works because it relies on totally avoiding a big source of calories. For instance, carbs. if you consume less calories than you burn, you lose weight. problem in my opinion is they use such a big brush to cut things out that people can be miserable while on them. if its the end of the day and you've eaten 700 less calories than you need and have gotten all the protein and fat you need then guess what. You can eat 200 calories of ice cream or chips if you want and still lose weight!
Also on multi-node failures smaller partitions actually reduce the amount of critical data to re-replicate to keep the probability low and even give you ability to prioritize that.

For example losing two nodes with 100 partitions on each might give you only like 5 partitions that happen to have replicas living on both nodes and that need to be re-replicated as soon as possible from a single still existing replica, but the rest of the replicas for 190 different partitions have 2 existing replicas and can wait til those 5 high-priority ones are re-replicated.

I guess this answers Martin's question - "you can choose between a high probability of losing a small amount of data, and a low probability of losing a large amount of data! Is the latter better?" - no, the latter is worse, much-much worse.
