I’m sure deep packet inspection is already occurring on all traffic on Australia’s National Broadband Network already.
This is very far from correct.

CO2 is not just disrupting the climate, it is also acidifying the seas, which will soon suffer an eco-collapse as shellfish and coral become unable to precipitate calcium out of the water.

There is a nearly commensurate problem. If existing A/C and refrigeration systems end up venting their HFCs, that will cause as much climate disruption as CO2, and remain in the atmosphere for centuries. Somehow we have to drain every failed compressor and incinerate it all.

You still need something to serve you the initial document.write js, unless you are going to convince people to open your links with locally saved "index.html". I called it "XSS" because you can execute arbitrary javascript, and I was trying to avoid bluntly calling it "malware".

Though I probably should have. Here is an example of a HackerNews login page served with jstrieb.github.com https://tinyurl.com/yypvh3by, you can login to news.ycombinator.com with it, but it easily could have been a phishing site.

My point is, this is a very good idea for offensive operations.

Private letters have long been acknowledged as covered by the fourth amendment, that is that searching requires at least a warrant based on probable cause. It’s changed over times whether searches of papers are per se unreasonable [1]. Consent can authorize agents to open mail of course, but it might be an interesting question whether it’s an unconstitutional condition to require waiver in order to access the mail services.

Take a look at https://keeweb.info/ too. It has built-in support for Dropbox, Google Drive, and One Drive. I also recommend Keepass2Android and sync to Dropbox. With the addition of a secret key file as an added requirement to unlock. So, in theory, you would need that key file and your master password to unlock the Keepass DB.
I think that's begging the question.
That sounds incredible and you've given me quite a bit of food for thought with how to better utilize smaller spaces. I knew the birds had iron stomachs but never thought for a second that they could be so productive with a compost pile. Thanks for sharing!
We just recently moved from a city to the burbs. Our choice was multi-factored. It was price of a bigger house, better schools, less congestion and crime.

My old house was 900sf, perfect for 1 to 2 people, but it got cramped when my son was born. We looked into expanding but for the cost of adding a room with a bathroom ($100k) we decided that it wasn't worth it.

With schools we got lucky, the elementary school was just recently built and looked great. But there was an issue, the schools that my son would be going after grade school were rated very poor. This was a concern.

Traffic bad and seemingly only getting worse. Traffic projects have been in endless gridlock between car commuters and the bicycle community.

Not sure about other large cities, but mine (Portland, OR) has a pretty big homeless and crime issues as of lately. Gone are the days of how clean our city is and now it's just littered with trash and tent communities. It's not uncommon to see a heroine needle if walking in a city park. In the last year, we had somebody try to break into my shed and my wife and 4 years old Son were confronted in our driveway by a homeless individual, who said that he was considering suicide.

I still have a soft spot for PDX and I think it's a great place, but we decided get out.

ha ha sounds like I'm repeating the same story of earlier genereations, ha ha nothing new.

Resume: https://j.holmes.codes/resume/

I decided to put myself back out there after a few years of freelancing and, among other avenues, posted in a "Who wants to be hired". I had psychologically prepared myself for a long and frustrating search as I wasn't in a particular hurry and promised myself to be selective about where I landed, making sure it was a genuinely good fit.

I got three responses through HN, one from a company in the city I live in, one from a fully distributed team, and one from a holy s__t SV company I had fantasized about in years past.

All three were amazing opportunities and the people I spoke with were so awesome--genuine, authentic, enthusiastic, and of an altogether different caliber than what I had been anticipating.

I interviewed for a few weeks with all three and was honestly agonizing about what I'd do if I got an offer from more than one. I don't know what exactly I was expecting, but what I was not expecting was to feel so much like I was in the driver's seat of my job search experience. It was almost like I was interviewing them for the job, or more accurately, it was as if we were on an equal footing (I don't delude myself that that was actually the case, but it's how it felt dealing with such awesome point's of contact).

I wound up accepting a completely different offer from a co. in my city that I connected with through a different channel and that really ticked all the boxes for me--I mean--I feel really lucky, I truly love my job. It would have been an insane opportunity to take the role at the SV unicorn (had they extended me an offer, I'll never know) but at the end of the day I just wasn't ready to pick up my whole life and move cross country in my 30's.

Wow did I ever get derailed. The moral of the story is, while I didn't technically get hired through a "Who wants to be hired" thread, I did have an altogether highly positive experience, and I imagine, if anyone else's experience is like mine, that lot's of people get hooked up with awesome opportunities through that channel.

Leaving aside the outright abusive, probably nothing. But how excited would you be to receive in your inbox "Your [beloved project] didn't solve my pet problem the way I wanted! This software sucks and the devs are lazy bastards who don't listen to the community". Then imagine getting one of these a month, a week, even a day if your project is very successful.

It's of course nothing like actual abuse or threats of violence but it's an emotional toll that I certainly wouldn't want to pay. I have better things to do with my life.
I live in NYC and live pretty much my entire life in dense urban cities. Why on earth would I need to know how to make a tent, tell the time via the sun, or other things you probably view as crucial like starting a fire or knowing how to fish. Heck, for me it is a waste to learn how to drive.

It is very self centered of you to think everyone's lives are similar enough to yours that this skill even has a chance d being used once, less so being necessary.

By the same reasoning I could argue that everyone should know how monetary policy in the united States works, because it effects everyone in the world, even if you don't live in the USA. We have finite time and energy to learn things, it would be a waste to use them on learning how to do something you will never have to do.

The same pattern in Africa, development projects staffed by Chinese workers in segregated company run communities.

Thank you for taking a look at my side project!
I'd love a carbon tax.

However, I still think you're mistaken that residential solar is in any way subsidizing the grid.

Utility scale solar is under half the price, and the gap is only going to widen as PV prices fall and the panels become a smaller part of total cost. Why would you pay a homeowner $2.5/W to install panels on their roof instead of paying $1/W to build a power plant that has the same profile?

The only benefit you get is the distribution of the power generation, but if that's the goal and we're willing to pay a lot of money to subsidize it, BEVs capable of demand dispatch powering a home or even battery to grid are a significantly better target. The new Leaf can do this, but there's limited enthusiasm as the economic benefit can't be easily captured.

We need to switch to BEVs anyway, and it's crazy not to take advantage of the dual use potential. Solar might shave a bit off the peak days - whether residential or utility by the way - but BEVs would go much further, and enable much higher wind and solar mixes in the grid.

Solar is cheap enough already. Net metering did its bit as a kick starting subsidy, but for new installations today it serves only as a wealth transfer to the upper middle class, who get to break even on something uneconomic, greenwash their lives, and displace spending on utility scale solar.

Let's solve the issues of tomorrow instead of doubling down on what worked yesterday.
To clarify further, generally past convictions are inadmissible, because you don't want to bias a jury about the facts of the specific case.

"This guy murdered three other people!" is no proof that he murdered this particular person.

Because of those rules, calling someone a "godfather" in court doesn't so much get you a prosecution as it gets you an objection and mistrial.

So I used a lazy example to illustrate the point.

But this brings up another key point -- most of criminal procedure can be summed up by "you can't use irrelevant statements to prejudice the hell out of the jury."

All in all a pretty good rule.

Two things changed drastically:

1. My access to that record. I can no longer audit or edit that information. Even though I made a constant effort to preserve my privacy, I am left with a worrying lack of certainty. After all, I can't be expected to remember many months worth of communication, or what out of that I may find concerning in this new context.

2. My relationship with my (ex) employer. Sure I could have assumed an eventual change in that relationship from the beginning, but it's still drastic to have that change come suddenly and without warning.

I realize those are subtle, and that - hopefully - they do not become an issue. I only want to highlight my experience, because I found it eye opening.

The real issue is that there is an informal expectation of privacy without the user having permanent control over his/her information.

In addition to the difficulty in making a meaningful estimate, I'm frustrated by how often management really wants to hear a particular answer and won't settle for anything but that answer. It can go like this:

1. Developers size development of X and says it will take roughly 12 months.

2. Management says the rest of the organization is going into system test in 9 months and needs X finished by then. Couldn't there be some way of speeding up the development of X without impacting the rest of the organization?

3. X's developers say no, not really.

Now management tries one or more of the following:

-- find someone else to size the work that X's developers will be expected to do

-- hire some outside "expert" to size X

-- hire contract programmers that claim to be experts in X that will join the X team

-- suggest reduced functionality for X

-- propose some modified "streamlined" component testing for X

-- promise to provide X's required dependencies ahead of their scheduled completion dates so X's development won't be gated by these requirements

Now jump back to step 1. Repeat until X's team relents and says that maybe, just perhaps they might be able to finish X in 9 months if everything goes perfectly even though the company has never done X before

This is now passed up the management chain and it becomes part of the official overall system's schedule that planning, marketing, sales, finance, etc. is depending on.

Iterating over all of these estimates is a big waste of time. Management has already decided that they want X in the system and will keep pushing until an estimate comes back that they accept.

If X's team is lucky, some other team will fail to make their estimated completion date and X will end up with the 12 months it might take to finish X. Every team in the organization is hoping that it will be a different team that first has to admit that they will not make their date. This causes a kind of game of chicken where every manager is unwilling to be the first to admit that their team is going to miss it date. Consequently, every date in the organization cannot be relied upon. The distributed file system needs the TCP stack to be finished on time, but the TCP stack needs the ethernet device drivers to be finished on time and no one will admit slippage of any dates first.

The complete genius of the Walkman was that it featured two headphone jacks. Such a simple design decision, with such large ramifications. In total, the Walkman is a classic example of a disruptive industry: creating new industries and killing (or at least mortally wounding) old ones. I remember how terminally moribund the industry-controlled pop charts had become before mix tapes became a thing.
My 2c: I like the idea, but if I were searching I would not post because I know people in my current job browse hacker news and my profile is quite specific.
The article links to a very funny video of today's kids trying to figure out a Walkman:
