It's tone deaf. It's based on a false belief about how money works. In fact, it's based on the exact same false belief that /u/toomuchtodo's defense of Shrkeli is based on. Yes, it's true that the federal government insures deposits, and so the loss from the theft from the bank will not be borne by the depositors directly. But the government has to get its money from somewhere too, and there are only two possible places it can get it: through taxation, or by printing it. If it uses tax money to cover the losses then the losses are borne by tax payers, and if it prints the money then the losses are borne by everyone via the resulting inflation.

> When the financial harm is spread out thin, people take it less personally.

That is certainly true, but that doesn't make it any less harmful. In fact, it is precisely the thin spreading of the harm that causes people to be complacent about the real underlying problems. The result is that by the time people become aware of the problems again, they have become much more serious and concomitantly more difficult to solve (c.f. the 2008 financial crisis).

First of all, not really. GNU doesn't do everything. It's important to remember that distros -- BSD or Linux -- are aggregations of software packages from many different developers, most of whom have no relationship to each other. Other operating systems including Android, Mac OS, and even iOS use these same open source tools, too, so they can't really be said to include these tools as a result of their own development, either.

Second of all, much of the work was still done by Microsoft. The vast majority of NirSoft's tools just use the existing WinAPI. The functionality was already there. Indeed, many of these tools are alternative versions of tools which are already provided by Microsoft.

This article has little to nothing to do with chronic Candida albicans infection, which might or might not exist.

Having spent a lot of time in and around various "health food" type communities, I don't see any reason to believe that so-called Candidiasis is actually a fungal infection. It's some kind of chronic inflammatory condition, that's all we know. Anything beyond that is speculation.

I just can't imagine what he's done that's worth defending.. I don't care at all about him, the Daraprim thing was ugly and a symptom of what's wrong with the US pharma / PBM / insurance racket but it's not like that was virtuous either just because it was legal.

As far as I can tell he's done two things;

1. Profited handsomely off of white collar crime while defrauding his original investors.

2. The whole Daraprim thing.

So people are defending him on #1 because they think other people are too mad about #2?

PWAs make sense today, but back then, they just came too early in the game. The iPhone only had EDGE (2G) networking, it was painfully slow both in terms of throughput and latency. Each HTTP request would take ~300-500ms under optimal cell coverage.

Additionally, unlike modern PWAs, web-apps back then had persistence for data only, so you had to reload the entire application over the network at each launch. People back then loved the switch to native apps because they were extremely snappier.
> "That is certainly true, but that doesn't make it any less harmful."

I didn't say it makes it less harmful. I said it makes the defense tonally aware. The people using the defense are aware of the psychological bias people have when harm is spread thin.

Besides inflation, you also have the costs of a city wide manhunt and FBI bank robbery investigation. The taxpayers are paying for those as well, and they'll likely be more expensive than anything in the vault. But the bank robbers are tonally aware; they know they can suppress vigilantism by pointing out that the government will spread the harm thin.

Ask HN: Refuge Brother Deported
I have a brother that got deported 2017 July for petty crimes trespassing , domestic violence 4 for argument with his wife , we both are from Somalia we came here 2001 he is 32 years old.

My mother helped me get my citizen but unfortunely he didn't get his stuff in order he chose the american dream of chasing money and didn't take advantage of America for what it really is a place of opportunity to succeed and be anyone you want to be.

He got deported from County jail not prison he has prior conviction and felony records from years ago.

Is there any chance he would be able to return? I didn't think a Refuge status here in America is eligible for deportion we left Somalia because of War and violence and now he got deported back to it.

What can he do in his situation to get out of Somalia? He shows me videos of being out there the violence and war still going on it's a horibble place to live.

It breaks my heart to see him there. i want to help him return here I think he got deported illegally.

I'm not going to link all 10 volumes of Fedoroff's Encyclopedia of Explosives and Related Items, but they're online too. They are sitting on the shelves of university libraries around the world and have been for decades. So are books about the production and use of chemical warfare agents! These books are also much higher quality than information circulating in text files or printed "cookbooks" selling the allure of forbidden knowledge.

Generally speaking, people don't abuse this knowledge to violent ends because

1) Most people never seriously intend to commit violence in the first place.

2) Of the few people with premeditated intent to commit violent crime, most will not or even can not manage to make effective poisons and explosives from accessible materials, even given a curated reading list of relevant books. Technical aptitude and diligent study do not intersect with violent criminality very often.

The most useful tool I've seen from here is BlueScreenView (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html).

Blue screens on Windows aren't remotely as common as people think they are, but this tool will look at your dump file and can tell you very quickly what caused the error (typically, which driver). Back in the day this helped to identify a problem from the network driver that was affecting a certain subset of our workstations and allowed us to determine just how widespread the scope of the problem was. Turned out the image maintainer had used the wrong network driver.

We could have used WinDbg to do this, but at the time you had to install the whole damn Windows SDK to get it. This was a single executable and a library (I think).
Translate that for me please.
"The more powerful your battery, generally the more dangerous/flammable/explosive it is when it fails."

No, that's not really a thing at all. Li-ion batteries burn because they contain a combustable electrolyte. The initial explosive reaction doesn't have that much to do with the energy in the batteries. The long term reaction is related to the energy in the battery, but only because the electrolyte burned off letting the anode and cathode short out.

There are plenty of demonstrations of solid state li-ion batteries that have way higher power density, but that can be cut in two without any explosive reaction at all.

The challenge with most of these is cycle life btw.

In the extreme case, you can get insanely high energy density out of aluminum-air batteries, but as far as I know they're perfectly safe.

Making a safe battery with high energy density is easy. Getting all the other parameters right is hard.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) into either engineered pressure vessels or underground former nayural-gas formations (large high-pressure reservoirs) is another promising option.

Boyle's law heating and cooling is a principle issue.

Ask HN: Can we have a section just for tech?
I would really like it if hacker news had a section just for tech. Specifically, how certain tech is implemented.

What I see on the front page everyday is a mix of politics news, tech news and maybe some actual tech articles.

I couldn’t care less if there is an article saying intel introduced a new chip. I rather read an article on how that chip works underneath.

As for the politics, there is so many outrage articles on hacker news everyday. Most of it is inconsequential and sensationalist. The only thing they introduce is negative emotions. It leads to a bunch of people arguing who is right. It’s exhausting.

It would be great if we could separate them out.

Probably hard to know, but by now, we're already seeing that blu-ray players are rendered nearly useless by lost remote controls (because they (all blu-ray player manufacturers) no longer build adequate physical playback controls into the set top box, and 99% of blu-ray on-disc software requires a directional keys and an enter key to trigger playback of the main content, which can only be found on remote controls), leading to a necessity for bootleggers that can rip and recopy the main content of the movie to a version stripped of menus, that immediately plays automatically upon insertion.
Why?

One of the US attorneys wasting our federal tax dollars prosecuting the parents even pointed it out: they bribed the college the wrong way, by not buying them a building like they were supposed to. "We're not talking about donating a building...we're talking about fraud."

So the injured parties here are the universities, and their complaint is they got cut out on the bribe dollars. Which is fine and all, but I don't understand at all why that's our problem. That's the universities' problems, and they should feel free to sue their employees for not sharing bribes appropriately.

Health care fraud actually hurts people and steals from the federal government, so there's two good reasons to spend our resources prosecuting it.

Because you're already eating the bulk of the depreciation on it anyway?

You pay for quality today because you intend to still be using and maintaining it in 20 years.

Buying new makes no sense at all when "next owners" are even a factor in the equation. You might as well just lease.
I think those are the same problem :-) But I may be looking at it in a way that is slightly different than you are.

The way I see it, capacity is unbounded if size is unbounded, you can just have giant batteries. But if size is bounded (as it is in cell phones, laptops, cars, etc) then capacity is a function of energy density. And the 'flaming battery pack' problem is a function of energy density. The more surface area, and thinner the electrolyte layer, the more dendrite development you get and the those are the things that start fires.

The Galaxy is a good example of the trade-off, they made a battery with as much capacity as possible, that lead to a an area that was 'pinched' which allowed for dendrites to short, which caused phones to catch on fire. If the battery had 10% less capacity (the fix as I recall) the dimensions can be smaller and the fit better. No pinch, no fires.

Citrine 0.9 – Van Leydenhof: UPL (universal programming language)
>What is the value of productivity? Why does it make us happy? [...] And the value of productivity is something that has been handed down to us by a culture which we've been thrown into.

I think it's more that the business-speak label of "productivity" bothers you rather than its underlying idea of efficiency of input effort in relation to desirable output.

The concept of "productivity" doesn't have to be a Peter Drucker style management guru propaganda. Productivity makes us happy because it's an intrinsic human desire to improve our lives. For example, consider a prehistoric hunter in Africa that's running barefoot with a spear in hand and chasing after antelope to kill and eat it. He doesn't need modern McKinsey consultants to tell him he wants to do the least amount of running for the most amount of food. The better that ratio of expended effort to food quantity, the better the productivity. It's just that the hunter didn't label that concept as "productivity". If he has a sprained ankle, his chasing ability will decrease and his productivity will also decrease. He becomes unhappier. If the hunter uses his brain and notices the paths the antelopes use to the watering holes and takes advantage of those patterns to intelligently intercept it, his hunting productivity increases, and he becomes happier.

In the case of this thread's article, it looks like the author is a freelance journalist and so "productivity" to her is writing articles faster and/or writing more articles.
I led the build of an SVOD service at a large media company that was also mentioned in this article. Negotiating with Apple at the time to get our service approved, and then negotiating with them further on integration with the TV app, it was clear their ambition was be a media company by the concessions they wanted. This was years ago, mind you.

Which leads me to the other part of Apple's brand: they will make your life hell if you play in a space they deem important to their survival. Any developer on the app store knows this.

We're entering a world where it will be very, very difficult to survive as a third party in an ecosystem, and the argument will be "our brand." For any success you have, 30% of your gross revenue is going to help finance a potential future competitor. We have to double down on mobile web in the next decade if we want any semblance of competition in media.
you managed to write two paragraphs and the only relevant arguments you made were the words "not really."

you conflate GNU with the concept of a distro, pretend that a distro is something other than an operating system, and then bizarrely give microsoft credit for "WinAPI" like other operating systems don't have APIs.

What it boils down to is almost all of these tools are readily available as vetted and integrated parts of other modern operating systems and on Windows you get to download this stuff and play with antivirus settings instead.

This reminds me of the advent of Windows XP, when Windows finally shipped with the ability to do things other operating systems had for years, such as unzipping files and looking at JPG. Maybe one day, Windows will have this functionality available to the user out of the box... but that day is not today.
