Best battery is about more than how many mAh you get out of one. Consistency of current and voltage output over time, performance in different constant and varying temperatures, susceptibility to corroding, performance when recharged and other factors were completely ignored.
It is incompatible with CCP's views for sure. However, I don't think their long-term goal for Hong Kong is to turn it into another Chinese province though. Hong Kong has been doing well and prosperous under the current system. Hong Kong people enjoy more freedom, better quality of life. It does not really benefit CCP to turn it into a province which is less prosperous in many ways.
Regarding keyboards, maybe at least don't automatically trust a SECOND keyboard? Even when user interaction isn't possible until the device is active, as someone else pointed out, you can at least send a warning to the user's display.
Well, simple math isn't, but think about your currency conversion, your weather lookup, or your sports schedule. Where did Google get the data for those things? Does whoever provided that data have expenses, and did Google compensate them in any way for those expenses or did Google lift the data for free with GoogleBot?

When Rand last posted about this it inspired me to look into other channels such as email and social. Basically clicks are disappearing for ALL channels, this isn't just a Google thing, it's a digital marketing thing as a whole. My thoughts here: https://kolemcrae.com/no-more-clicks-makes-me-sad/
Synesthesia is very hard to explain. It's like explaining color to the blind.

I have mild synesthesia myself - I hear flavors. I can say "I hear flavors", but that doesn't help to tell you what different flavors sound like, because sounds themselves are very hard to describe in words.

The best way to experience something like synesthesia is under the influence of LSD or similar drugs. Not that I recommend it, but it does work. "When colors taste like music" is my favorite description ever.
How Zapier Pulled Off Its One-and-Done Approach to Fundraising
When I was looking at Monero mining ages ago, I built a rig using the Dell Poweredge R810. It has 4x CPU sockets in which I have Xeon E7-4860 (for mining that uses AES) that each have 10 cores/20 threads -- 40 cores/80 threads total. I found cheap deals on both scouring eBay. The entire setup cost me < $500.

However...it was noisy AF and consumed something like a few hundred Watts. Maybe as much as 500. Needless to say, I have not been running it. Does anyone have some tips on where to get cheap power? ;)
That's the main problem with those articles.

We have no metric for innovation. So all we get is a bunch of cherry picking of what constitutes "major" "progress" based on undefined criteria, and then comparing those things across different eras.

Some organizations have created innovation indices, but they tend to measure inputs (e.g. R&D spending) more than outputs, or measure outputs that have questionable relationships to innovation (e.g. number of patents registered).
Agreed. This isn't a simple patch, and will require significant re-engineering of a critical Windows component. 90 days is entirely unreasonable in this case. Releasing his ctftool was particularly reckless, this is privilege escalation in a bottle.

I have sympathy for the man - not a lot, because I strongly suspect he'd hate me for my own ideologies, but I certainly can empathize with wanting to defend yourself when your life is threatened. And I do believe that he had little choice but to shoot Roy.

My sympathy is tempered, though, by his willing decision to move outside of the safety net of society, then expect that he'd have society's support when he had no money, food, or means of transportation. Ultimately, his desire to be self sufficient put him in a situation where he had to kill a man to protect himself. That's not a situation I'd wish on anybody, but he seemed pretty steadfast in making sure he had no other options.
> I think conservative didn't imply conserving nature as much as conserving social norms and policies.

I think a conservative then and now is someone intent on preserving the structures that enable their revenue stream.

Social issues merely correlate with conservatism (purity concerns mostly), but are side issues to the monetary concerns.

I've heard a decent amount of wrong takes on Section 230. But this is the most bizarre, yet.

Neither the CDA, nor section 230 specifically, create the sort of publisher/platform dichotomy people seem to be hung up on.

And Section 230 does exactly the opposite of what people commonly think it does. It's actually right there, in the text:

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of (a) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable [...]

That seems really easy to understand: you can delete nazi propaganda, porn, bad jokes, or just random user content from your platform without running the risk of thereby assuming liability for the rest.
When getting into a project, I usually work with someone in the hardware design space (I can do larger electronics myself and thus prototypes, but I'm hired for very small circuit projects) and after creating a prototype, we usually start searching for the the cheapest MCU (and other components) that fit the project. Spending a lot of time doing assembly and making it fit the constrained memory will pay off when doing million factory runs. A lot of MCU's I work with are faster (or only marginally slower) than my beloved Z80 I grew up with an programmed many years, but usually have less (sometimes far less) memory. I have not worked with kilohertz since the early 80s but he, if it fits (it almost never does) I am all for the lowest priced and power friendly MCUs I can find.

I agree that in the parent comment case, there is no reason to risk a review or lawsuit which is probably mainly why a clinician wouldn't do it; I alluded that that in another comment.

This one was specifically a comment about "zero risk" on MRI, it's not true. Low risk, sure. But people have been hurt.

I also suspect any clinician is going to look askance at a low risk action that isn't necessary, but the potential liability is the kicker here.

Dunno... I have an R720 with similar specs (half the ram, though) and it was only $400. I also idle around ~100w because I ripped all the SAS 10k drives out and put SSD's in.

It sits powered-off most of the time though because I haven't been able to put it to good use, yet.

For a while it was running my Unifi controller + Pihole ... but you don't need the Unifi controller unless you are actively performing maintenance, and Pihole happily hums along on a Rpi 3 that uses far less power.
I don’t have hearing loss and this is a challenge for me.
Yes, it would still be a niche. Microsoft is successful because they are actually rather diversified. They have several niche cash cows that, combined, make for a very valuable company. Google struggles with this because they’re so dependent on search revenue.

It’s not illegal to be big. This article is largely wishful thinking on whether it should be.
Extinction does not drive evolution, reproduction does, and if a species' food goes extinct, they reproduce less, not more.

Secondly, these animals aren't abandoning their niches, they're losing them due to human activities. There is no room for another species to adapt to it, because there is nothing there to adapt to anymore.

I'm from northern Minnesota. I'm dead-set against wolf hunting and trapping and so are my friends from the area. The idea that wolves are "over-populated" up north is a laughable fiction.

Since we're on the topic of environmental issues in northern MN, one thing that has upset almost everyone in the area is Trump allowing foreign companies to start mining in the Boundary Waters, an area that is near-univerally cherished by Minnesotans for its undisturbed nature (including its wolf packs!).

If you're not a Minnesotan, don't try to speak for us. If you are a Minnesotan, I contend that your perspective reflects only a relatively small minority of us, even among rural northern Minnesotans (like my family and friends!)
I agree with this. I was hovering on a button and then checking the link string in the lower left of the browser to figure out which icon was what.

IFTTT is a nice example of a button/icon heavy design that also includes simple text descriptions.

Also, personally I would like to see vim on there.
Yes, it's more time overall, but that's not the point.

From the example in the article, if it would take them 2 months to build a robust email delivery system or 2 weeks to put a temporary hack in place, it could be worthwhile to the business to do the hack if it means they can start user-testing 6 weeks earlier.

Also, if they're still in the product-fit stage of their business development, they might find that the product isn't as useful/worthwhile as they thought, and scrap it after 2 weeks testing. This would allow 6 weeks of overall developer effort to be spent on another initiative.

Just because you know that developing throwaway code is waste, doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad business decision.

I can't even imagine how they could fix this, even in a new version of windows. It seems so fundamental that any fix would break backwards compatibility, which is one of their core values.
> entities with the power

You assume that it will require power (read: coercion & violence) in order to deal with climate change.

For a few hundred years we've had an ever-growing state in most places in the world, reaching levels of power undreamed of by rulers of the past. Yet climate problems persist with no sign of stopping. Relying on the current political order will not result in anything different. All nations exist in a state of anarchy with respect to one another.

So we're at a crossroads: do we empower global government to control the entire population, in order to address climate problems? Or do we admit that government cannot solve the problem and look to more imaginative -- and less violent -- solutions?

I for one don't expect that global government will work out quite like its proponents envision. Is anyone fit to be King of the Earth?
> The site loses a click through and any potential revenue.

I'm having trouble understanding how the site would have lost potential revenue. All the query wanted to know was the net worth of someone. I don't imagine anyone casual enough to use Google to answer that who would be willing to spend a lot of time trying to figure that out using an advertisement-laden "free" website. I don't imagine anyone professionally interested in that answer who'd use Google as their primary resource nor would they click on ads on the target site.

On the other hand, Google gets to know who's talking about whom. That in and of itself is/can be valuable. I can see an argument be made for abuse of monopoly here. On the other hand, I think what Google does indeed benefit the consumer in this case. The casual user's experience is likely improved and the professional user's experience still wouldn't use Google as a primary resource.
Would you like to provide a source for "the continued existence of all species presently on Earth at this very moment has become some sort of moral imperative in the minds of activists"? Because it's certainly not generally true.

The goal is to limit species loss due to human impact on the natural environment. Generally, no one's even suggesting that we stop impacting that environment; merely that we stop ourselves when our impact becomes great enough to threaten biodiversity loss.
Do they really though? See my comments on: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20688022

Essentially, if Google's data source isn't getting paid, the data source is not going to remain accurate, and hence, neither will Google.

Azure Hybrid Benefit is for licenses with Software Assurance. The change that the blog post keeps railing on about is for licenses without Software Assurance.

Maybe they should have used Wine in the first place.
Not sure it's significantly better after factoring in power and auxiliary costs like cooling.
Sure, but the licenses to unlock them are easy to acquire.

Dell ties them to the service tag, which is quite easy to set via racadm and you can buy a license off eBay. Older Dell systems required a $30 part you can find on eBay. HP just uses a key they send you on paper.

Hell, many times these decoms still have the license applied to them. I have 2xR210 II’s, a R320, R520 and formerly had a HP ML10 and a Lenovo TD340. The Lenovo was the biggest pain to get VKVM because of the stupid hard to find dongle.

Don’t buy Lenovo servers for a homelab; BTW. Dell lets you override the ramp in fan speed when a non-Dell branded PCIe card is installed, newer Lenovo servers ramp them up to 100% and you can’t turn it off (I had to leave my TD340 on the initial BIOS revision with security issues because of this).
As someone with full spectrum hearing, a lot of those environments are awful for me too. Just miserable to be practically yelling to be heard and then needing to cup your hand over your ear to make out what they're saying, often just giving up and nodding and hoping that a "nod" response makes sense in the context of whatever they said.
We were definitely looking for their top end systems. But you're probably right, we might have just gotten lost in some tangled chain of distributor responsibility.

I'm very relieved to hear that they're still innovating, actually. Thanks :)
Yes and no. There is a longer boot time because the POST process is a bit more intense. ECC RAM is a big part of that. Chances are this particular caes is likely becuase the boot order needs to be reconfigured and it is hunting for PXE/network stuff before hitting a timeout?

If you yield control to some kind of Broadcom controller it'll do all kinds of shit before giving up and handing you back to boot a disk.

Choosing Linux Compatible Printers
Will be waiting for Linux :D

PS: you mention Windows in the landing page, but not Linux.
First, you need a hard bright line as a norm. It's the only thing a corporation will understand, and you can see how often they try to abuse or delay it anyway. Disclosing after the deadline is the only thing that gives the deadlines urgency and means that things which are urgent also get handled quickly. If there isn't a working process for handling as serious a vulnerability as this within 90 days, then there probably isn't a working process for handling serious but time-sensitive vulnerabilities within 90 days either. Use it or lose it.

Second, these things are a lot more correlated than you think. Look at Spectre recently: those bugs have been in there in various ways for what, 20+ years? Yet something like 3 different research groups all came across variants of it simultaneously. There are pervasive correlations leading to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery - people use similar tools like fuzzers, they follow similar research topics and gossip, certain things become 'obvious' to everyone simultaneously, and so on. OP might not think that anyone else is working along similar lines, but how could they know that? How should anyone interested in Spectre have known that there were (at least) that many other groups finding similar problems?
Also, #4 is because of #3. The weird Meetings tab in Teams is a better version of a Skype for Business tab that almost no one used directly (also called Meetings and using the exact same icon), and having that tab in Teams now is directly a part of the Skype for Business migration.
I'll accept that this sort of thing could be reworked...

After you implement tangible solutions to the ridiculous kabuki of trying to litigate against a business that has damaged the environment.

When there is no meaningful recourse to environmental damage done after the fact, excessive effort in prevention is the only solution that actually works.

Not necessarily. "Accelerating returns" is just another name for exponential growth. And the economy is growing exponentially. But the rate since 1970 is possibly lower than it was during the "special century".

Also, for what it's worth, Moore's law and its variants are just special cases of Wright learning.[1][2][3]

Yeah, I'm definitely considering that. Basically just wanted to wait and see if anyone asked for it. Out of curiosity, is that because you'd like to use a different UI kit or do you generally write styles from scratch?

Unfortunately it is quite common that servers are slower to boot than desktops if it has a lot of CPUs, or a lot of memory, or just a very slow BIOS impl that spends a lot of time probing and initializing everything.

This is true, but it's a matter of abstract ideals vs concrete benefits. Who are we to tell people in a poor community that certain economic development cannot take place because it will harm certain animals or plants?

This is a very real problem for communities in Africa and the Amazon basin; they are unable to build the infrastructure necessary for further development because privileged Western animal rights activists are more concerned with protecting animals than other humans.
I've gotten rid of ever using hacker news from browsers, and now I'm typing in a vim buffer from w3m to reply to you. At least I'm not leaving my development environment...
"I decided it would be worth it to spend a couple of weeks reverse engineering CTF to understand the security properties."

Just, wow, that he gets to spend a couple of weeks on stuff like that.
It looks pretty, but I'm having trouble understanding the use case.

A core part of browsing Hacker News or Reddit is opening the links and reading the articles, which are web pages. Once I'm opening web pages, then I want to be able to bookmark them, arrange them in tabs, find them in my history, have them saved in sessions by my session manager extension, configure how they are handled by my ad blocker, search for related information, and so on. In other words, I want a web browser.

The same issue applies the other way around, too. When I follow a link _to_ Hacker News, I want it to show up consistently. I don't want to end up with some Hacker News pages in browser tabs and some in a separate app, and then have trouble remembering where to find that page I was looking at yesterday.

I get that it can be nice to have a slimmed-down UI for specific purposes. But I'm puzzled by this particular use case because there is no neatly contained navigation sandbox — as soon as you follow a couple of links, you're just browsing the Web.

So why won't there be an inexorable push to expand Yack's feature set until it is a browser? Why won't users eventually switch back to using their regular browsers?
