It does change a whole lot. Up until a few years ago you'd only have to be suspicious of very important videos coming from people who have access to convincing video editing. Some video coming from the USA, Chinese or Russian government trying to disprove war crimes? Yeah, better be careful. Some guy using damcash footage to prove the other driver was in the wrong? Not so much.

As the technology improves and becomes accessible soon anybody will be able to edit videos convincingly without having to invest a massive amount of time or money. That's going to have a large impact I think.
I’ve really come around to nuclear power. I’d like to invite other HN readers to check out the comments of acid urnNSA[1] who describes himself as “Nuclear reactor physicist in Seattle”

> Recall that the beauty of nuclear energy is energy density: there is 2 million times more energy in a uranium nucleus than in any chemical's electron shell. An average american can get 100% of their total primary energy for an entire 88 year lifetime and only use 300 grams of nuclear fuel. At that kind of fuel/waste footprint, it's relatively easy to have a low carbon footprint. And the data is in. The number is 12 gCO2-eq/kWh.”

Can someone clarify for me what "Enhanced Tracking Protection" covers? The text on Mozilla's pages is a bit fluff, I'm interested in the mechanics of it.

I've been out of ad-tech for about 5 years, but when I was working in that industry it was common to drop evil cookie pixels everywhere in the page and then do cookie-matching with them ("my cookie for this user is X, do we per-chance have a match with something you have?")

Will this effectively end that by preventing cookies from domains that aren't the domain of the site itself?

I hope so.

SEEKING WORK | Los Angeles | Remote

I'm an expert engineer and data professional interested in consulting and architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark, Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.

These days, I work for a "new media" company you probably heard of and, over the past year, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily.

My area of expertise includes data interoperability with Facebook Marketing, Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc. That I'm a top-tier developer goes without saying. I'm interested in flexing my consulting muscle and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.

Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!

> As for California’s climate and environmental record, it is not nearly as strong as it appears. Much of the state's emissions reductions owe to a switch from coal to natural gas in the electricity the state imports, and from keeping population low by blocking new home building, a problem which has worsened under the governor.

Well, this is the first time I've seen it suggested that blocking new home building is "keeping population low" (or, keeping population growth in check) in the Golden State.

Does anyone know the technical reason that the OS can't handle that itself?
I could not put it into better words :) Thanks!
Browsers send too much information on their own, and they shouldn't. But there is still a huge difference between analyzing access logs and tracking users. When you actively track users you build complete profiles of people with any kind of information. Access logs do not go nearly as far, they're mostly limited to IP address, a few info about browser/OS type, and sometimes a referrer; most of which are easy to spoof.
Its not like that.

Intel took shortcuts to make their CPUs faster. At least some of the chip architects working on their implementation of hyperthreading should have understood that they sacrificed security for speed - without telling anyone.

Solar produces something like 90% of all the power it will generate in just 4 hours per day. Wind is intermittent and hard to predict. I live in one of the biggest per capita wind power states in the US, and on some days the nat-gas/coal plants are taking almost the entire load. If we relied only upon renewables, we'd either have people dying due to the brownouts or dying because they can't afford electricity.
Agreed, I have MX Clears and they're not bad at all. That said, they are still louder than standard (rubber dome) keyboards, even with o-ring dampeners installed.

But, I switched to a noise reduction headset and my screen sharing partners say my keyboard noise is now equivalent to people with rubber dome keyboards (you can barely hear it).

I have a keyboard on order with "silent red" mechanical switches. From what I understand, they're similar to rubber dome keyboards in noise level and if that's true then I won't have to use the headset all the time.
It's interesting that heat from the fan appears not to matter.

Do newer fridges have fans built-in? I've never heard one going; even if it's shut off when the door opens, I'd expect to hear it slowing down.
Downvoted for the straw man — Intel is currently selling processors with, e.g., 8 cores and 16 threads without any asterisks or caveats. That's in their official marketing materials. Currently.

Adding it as a filter would be fine: some of the other info in the sidebar could be useful as filters as well, like the use cases. Also, comment from a friend who is more pro than me would be to add reciprocity compensation information.
I believe HackerNews ran an article that covered a similar situation but the product involved was baby diapers. That if you're buying in bulk, from say, Costco, you can save a lot of money on baby diapers. That's good for those that can afford it. But those on welfare (in the US) will never have enough cash on hand to make that initial bulk purchase and achieve those savings. As a result they have to buy the smaller packages which are significantly more expensive and eat up much more of their welfare check.

It's expensive because Nuclear is over-regulated. It can be cheaper, and the more you build, the cheaper it is.
I live 10 degrees north of the equator.

A lot of times during the really hot midday all I can think of is making ice and letting it melt during the night so it can cool the side of the bed.

If the freezer is next to your bedroom then the bad insulation becomes a good thing because you may save on air conditioning.
Yeah, no offense to the author, but this article read like one written by someone who really doesn't know much about keyboards. There is a whole slew of different silent, non-clicky, tactile and linear switches to choose from, as well as sound dampening o-rings.
The responses from the keyboard enthusiasts here are a real life example of this phenomenon: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZK8Z8hulFg

The guy just likes this cheap keyboard. I use those aluminum Mac keyboards for most of the same reasons: I like (somewhat) low key travel, they’re cheap and easy to find, and last reasonably well.

Edit: Actually it looks like the $50 keyboard I’m talking about got replaced by the “Magic” keyboard that’s considerably more expensive. Too bad.

I believe desulfating is based on trickle charging, so doing it via just solar might work. And if we're talking apocalypse, it'd be good to have a secondary source of power like something that can run off of organic material such as wood gas.

I have some fundamental disagreements with that sort of thinking. I think it's dangerous to allow people to hide non-subjective claims behind the "it's just my opinion" veil. It's intellectually dishonest, even if you don't mean it that way.

Speaking of opinions in the context of reality implies that all (or at least most) alternatives are somehow equally valid, which is plainly not true. A justified belief is better than an unjustified one.

You have opinions about food. You may have opinions about what scientific hypotheses are well-justified and which aren't. You can't have opinions about how reality is.

You made a claim that black holes emit space. To justify it, you would have to come up with a model that incorporates this mechanism and then see if that model agrees with known facts before it has any practical value. If you have no such model, please at least go a bit further and explore the implications of your thought experiment.

As for epistemological reasons why understanding reality is impossible, that's just meaningless wordplay. For any practical definition of "understanding reality", it should be self-evident why opinions are irrelevant: reality is not going to just change itself to accommodate your thoughts.
