the problem for me is having mixed dpi monitors and fractionql scaling. for laptop monitor 150% to work it scales everything 2x, that also means that my external 27" 2560 which should be 1x is rendered to 5120 and that is causing stuttering and lag, at least i think it is, tried different drivers and so on. if i set the external monitor to 125 scaling then the rendered resolution is 4k and that works better, ni shuttering and lag.

i dont know why it does need to run the external monitor to 2x if i want 1x. and i lost way to much time playing with the setup. ubuntu 1904, if you have any new ideas im willing to try it.
How is that supposed to fly? When they look inside the VPN I'm just using, they'll see git-ssh traffic to a bitbucket server, and are none the wiser.

Despite the downvotes this is getting because of the "fascist state" hyperbole, this is a totally valid remark if the goal is to actually answer the parent's question.

Most country-scale decisions in the US and other similar states are so removed from any democratic input that interpreting them as coming from a generalized "we" is a fallacy. A more relevant way to ask the question would be:

> "Why do our leaders spend so many trillions of dollars in wars ..."

Phrased this way, it's easier to guess what kind of incentives might have pushed every government since the Lumières [1] to allocate their funds in a different way than you're suggesting.

This is the process I use in making no knead bread. Lots of pictures and minimal minimal mess.

http://madscientistlabs.blogspot.com/2014/06/diablo-bread-br...

But note that no-knead bread is supposed to be sticky. The high hydration is the trick to making the whole thing work, but good technique can reduce the mess to a minimum.

If you are getting inconsistent results, I strongly recommend you weigh your ingredients (especially flour) if you aren't already. There is a huge variation in how much flour is in a cup, and you can swing between delicious to disaster pretty easily. I feel that weighing of ingredients when baking is a key to consistency.
An accelerated stall is one of the most basic safety training exercises done. It's fundamentally familiarizing the pilot with the stall envelope of the aircraft.

The pilot should have to increasingly fight the stick to approach the stall. If the operating characteristics of the plane allow it to approach an accelerated stall with only an increase in thrust, then that is inherently not a stable behavior.
> You could fit a 5" screen on the SE form factor if it was edge-to-edge like the iPhone X, or you could keep the old SE 4" screen, make that edge-to-edge, and make the phone itself even smaller.

Both of these would be really nice, but I doubt either of them is going to happen.
Right ... but either Xi is another Trump, or he intentionally chose that idiom knowing full well the undertones were tied to the end results of other very famous past protests.

It is hard not to interpret that as a menace of brutality, regardless of whether actual crushing of bones is in the works.
I think in this case, the picture of the blanket actually says a lot more than the title. Not much substance outside of those two things, however. Either way, HN often brings a lot of substance to the table in the comments for these type of articles.

You're not wrong; the best way to fight climate change is population decrease (and therefore consumption decrease), but that'll require some serious dystopian measures - population control (like China's strict child birth laws), inaction (do not help in case of natural disasters, famine), genocide, etc. And that's probably not a guarantee either.
Seems like it. Thought HN prevents that.
I was similarly dependent on Google but started diversifying for exactly those reasons. Domains are with a third party, Email is (Fastmail with own domain, GMail still forwards), hosting is also a separate provider. If any provider now blocked my account this would still be bad but I could easily restore services.

Especially if your work depends on it, I would encourage everyone to do the same. No other company (including your bank) should be able to shut down your business and/or ruin you financially because they close your account temporarily.

At the same time, this also means you're less affected by discontinued products or price hikes.
I'm aware of the threat of Google's decisions and moved the bulk of my email onto self-hosted. Quite the learning curve but a valuable exercise. Then I did a takeout and dumped it all into <a href="https://notmuchmail.org/">"notmuch"</a>. I can search old emails in seconds.
I was linux-only from 2002 to about 2009, on laptops, when I switched to Mac. I just set up a linux desktop for kicks the last couple of weeks, and it doesn't seem to me to be any better than it was a decade ago.

* No way to adjust mouse scroll speed; official answer seems to be "don't want that". (Or install imwheel and change your mouse scroll to be equal to hitting the down button (!) which breaks other stuff)

* To make an icon on the favorites bar in gnome, you have to edit a .desktop text file! Madness. I mean, I'm a programmer, so I'm capable of it, but it's seriously annoying

* modifying keyboard shortcuts is extremely difficult; I really wish linux had a karabiner equivalent

* searching for help usually yields results that are half a decade or more old, and it's very difficult to figure out if it's current advice or not

* installing a gnome-shell extension was way more difficult than it should be

* brew isn't the best, but on linux I need to use both brew _and_ apt because you can't reliably get anything approaching up-to-date software with apt

I remain reasonably happy with it, but Mac is still so far ahead of it in terms of usability it's wild.
The most likely scenario to me is that Google did suspend the account, but either this is not the reason, or it was only a minor aspect of the algorithm's decision. People are often bad at figuring out what they did wrong when you send a message explaining exactly what it was, people are hopeless when they get no message at all, which is how these suspensions work.

The assurance that they've used no other apps I put little faith in; I've too often both delivered and received the incorrect "but I'm sure I did nothing else, it had to be this!" claim. We do a lot of things without forming strong memories of them all the time. No offense intended to the original reporter, it's just my experience says that's rarely a highly trustworthy claim, even when trustworthy people make it.
Misleading title, one library (greenlock) that enables this says they will break and are crowdfunding for money.

If ever there was a clear case for breaking them up, it's this. An issue with Youtube should not impact all other Google services you're using. If they don't like people avoiding Youtube ads, I guess they're free to block their access to Youtube. But don't block access to Android, GMail, Docs and whatever.
Their system isn't even likely detecting NewPipe. It is probably detecting signals indicating the ads it serves are being blocked and the user's account isn't a Premium account. Any client that failed to vend the ads (or failed to spoof the ads-vended signals) could trigger this.

(Obvious solution: use the approved clients.)
macOS is still light years better than subjecting yourself to Windows or Linux and the Escheresque nightmare they call a GUI.

Maybe once they have figured out how to scale for high-DPI displays without looking like something stretched up in Deluxe Paint*, I might tolerate giving them a second glance.

I predict that more likely the protests will subside over time without military intervention from the mainland.

In Macau, another Chinese city under One Country Two Systems, people are generally very happy with the present political arrangement. Macau has an advanced economy with one of the highest GDP per capita in the world today. It is also a free and democratic society.

Both economically and politically, China prefers HK to be like Macau at a larger scale (HK has over 10x population). The current situation seems to be necessary pains of growing up.
And work accounts could also be banned by affiliation I believe?
Well maybe that's a bit of the problem.

People are saying they can't get an apartment in NYC. Which is met by disbelief by people who actually live in NYC.

I believe this might be due to the fact that people are really saying that they want a, say, lower Manhattan apartment but can't afford the good ones anywhere. These are probably upper middle class people trying to live a bit outside their means. It's not really that they can't afford NYC, they just don't want to live in Harlem. Or even in Brooklyn, which actually has pretty nice apartments. When I look around Harlem or the Bronx, I don't think, "empty".

Not being able to live where the rich people live is not a problem that society should spend much time solving. I'm one of the very comfortable upper middle class. Yet I don't have a Ferrari, nor do I own a condo on Miami Beach. (Or Manhattan for that matter.) That doesn't mean that society has some sort of housing and car imbalance that it needs to address.

There may indeed be an imbalance nationally, but NYC is definitely not any kind of example of one.
Your comment also hints at a cultural narrative that is common but not true, where people tend to see someone with extraordinary talents and “remind” everyone that it also means there must be some extraordinary deficiencies there too, because balance.

It's not about balance. It's about what you can do with it or did with it.

> Here the question is how to remove excess CO2 without destroying the rest of the planet.

Nature already scrubs CO2 and actually thrives on the elevated amounts; reducing production means nature will have a chance to catch up. That is, assuming we've not already reached a catastrophic tipping point where e.g. algae (responsible for most CO2 sequestration) die from the heat and the CO2 sequestered in permafrost is released.
> MCAS existed to make an inherently stable aircraft handle in the same was as previous 737 generations.

I understand this is the attempt, but my understanding is that this is fundamentally impossible and the aircrafts fundamentally handle differently. This is the basis of the allegations of fraud.
Not familiar with that brand of cling wrap, but they probably reformulated from PVDC to LDPE like Saran did due to toxicity concerns.
Coal and nuclear (and natural gas) are about the same land use area footprint (https://www.strata.org/pdf/2017/footprints-full.pdf graph on last page).

Solar (3x), wind (5x), hydro (25x) are much higher land use.

Note that resource extraction use is considered temporary (and in the US, companies are required to pay for restoration, per the link above). Wind uses a large area, but agricultural use can proceed at the same time.

We currently have no viable CO2 removal technology. Nuclear power has no chance of destroying the planet (or even the biosphere).

From a consumer perspective the phone number model is much more usable though. You buy the service from a carrier but you can still keep your number when you change carrier due to it being regulated. No need to buy phone numbers separate from the service.
I brought an Apple PowerBook G4 back in 2005, and one of the standard system configs allowed you to calibrate the subpixel rendering parameters of fonts for the built-in display, as well as any external displays. It remembers each external display by serial model so that it could load the correct calibration profile for that particular display each time it's plugged in. I must have obsessively calibrated each of my displays at least ten times.

Was this feature removed from OSX? Or did OP try it already and it didn't help much? Honest question here; I haven't touched a mac in over a decade.
This is pretty frightening. I have around 5 Gmail accounts that practically everything is filtered through, and while I don't use it, I did (just uninstalled it) have NewPipe installed on my phone, along with F-Droid, along with a number of apps I downloaded directly from github, that Google has no place knowing anything about.

If I lose those accounts, I'm pretty sure I'm screwed, there are many online services that require you to open an email and retrieve a temporary code, or require you to have access to the original email account in order to switch to a new one. I don't know what I'd do if I'd lost those.
How does G Suite help here? If you've just got your own domain, you can do the same thing without G Suite.
At the very least, I recommend sharding your accounts for work, email, and data storage if you're nervous about those failing simultaneously.

The attack surface is larger than a TOS violation (someone could spear-phish your login credentials, or a coordinated attack on your account could lead to denial-of-service if Google can't disambiguate your legitimate attempts to login from attackers' attempts).

I see this meme a lot on the internet, especially when the US political justice system comes up lately, and it shows just how little our generation and younger care about how government works, is intended to work, and what to do when it doesn't work, the latter point being the most important. Going to social media and complaining, for example, is a good example of what not to do.

The control is only authoritarian if those being controlled by it have no recourse. As applied to governments, authoritarianism has strong central power and limited political freedoms. In the US, we believe in the principles of limited central power, and many political freedoms. (Whether or not this is the situation depending on who you are is the topic of another day because this is how it should be, and the only way it may have become not that is if we have allowed our complacencies to kick in and allow it to happen. I am a firm believer in the concept of "people get the government they deserve in a democracy." ) Ultimately the governmental authoritarian control is beholden to the people and can be eradicated. The only reason we feel as if it can't be is because we have allowed the power to creep up over the years and it seems like an insurmountable mountain, but rest assured if you pick up that pick axe and start chipping away rock by rock you absolutely can tear it down.

Likewise, authoritarianism applied to a corporation implies strong central power, and limited consumer freedoms. This is also patently false in the US. The US has anti-trust laws to prevent centralized control, consumer protection agencies, and the free market. The consumer ultimately always has the freedom to choose another option. If the corporation loses too many consumers, then the corporation goes under. I understand there is a lot of nuance, but this is the basic principles of how things should operate in this country, and the mechanisms for things to operate are in fact there. The question then becomes what are it's people doing about it?

> Not only that, there are and were multiple ways of installing software in Linux

Technically true, but practically false. To this day I get told that I shouldn't be even trying to use software that isn't in the repo. There are still a whole lot of applications released with a Windows binary and a tar.xz of source for Linux.

At DebConf 2014, none other than Linus himself bitched out the community for how difficult distributing things for Linux was. It should not require an army of maintainers across a score of repos to distribute software. And it isn't like the technology to make it simple isn't available. AppImage has been around since 2004 (it was called Klik at the time) and its existence has and continues to be largely ignored by the community. Other parts of the community are openly hostile to the very concept of simple application distribution, like Drew DeVault.

The situation is so awful, that recently when I wanted to use an application on my Linux laptop I found it easier to run the Windows version under WINE than get the Linux version installed.

And the most infuriating thing about it all is how incredibly resistant the community is to doing anything to change this situation.
Maybe Xi had Taiwan in mind, not Hong Kong. Taiwan is very important to China.

Think again how this will go:

1. The moment their Chinese contractor get so much free capacity, they will instantly sell to competitors, often at a better price.

2. Very likely they will qualify for state loans to expand, and start living as an independent player

3. By the time GE will internalise all the know how, finish construction, and windup the capacity, they will be much outsold

4. Their former contractor, and its clients will turn to their biggest competitor who know all about them, and share the same technological platform. Their parts are compatible, and they can offer service to old plants built by GE.

5. By the time they can start deliveries, they will have an open would in cash flow calendar. There will be no sources of cash for that time period on the market for them, as all of them went to competitor the moment GE stopped deliveries few years ago.

Moral of the story, it's near impossible to change from being an OEM client to being its competitor.
A company I know has lost the password for their info@company.tld google account. Google refused to reset the password - it asks for mail verification (passed), phone # (not passed, no one has an idea which phone number that was) and account age (not passed, this thing is ages old).

Google refused two letters by their legal counsel, now the company will attempt to file an emergency injunction / court order, but jeez it sucks that Google can not be bothered to have ANY place where you can contact an actual human.

> it's a mockery of moral reasoning to hold them responsible.

What are we holding them responsible for? Was something amoral? They clearly made the first decision for better or worse. Now if there was a sign that said "No walking on the grass", they clearly violated something.
They wouldn't. But if there's enough secondary signal for them to determine what account is running the access that is grabbing videos but not ads (i.e. do NewPipe's requests carry the phone IMEI? Can Google correlate that IMEI to a user account?), Google could lock down the account.

What the user describes sounds like an account lockdown, not an IP ban.

To the best of my knowledge, Automattic followed the success of the Wordpress open source project. It's an attempt to monetize an existing open source platform. The same goes for Docker, Elastic and others. The open source platform came first, then came the services.

Broadly speaking, I don't know why software is singled out in its economics. Creating software takes time of people. Time costs money, and much more of that when it comes to highly skilled engineers. The fact software has virtually no replication costs does not change the fact that its engineering is as expensive if not more so than engineering of other goods.
You're speaking from a position of knowing how the technology works and understanding how difficult this would be to implement.

But your attitude seems to convey that you find this behavior acceptable.

The majority of people don't have the tech know how to do what you're saying. Are we to leave them unrepresented and vulnerable? How many other people has this happened to that haven't been able to file bug reports on Github?

The solution here isn't a fine. Companies just laugh at those and continue on with business as usual. The real fix is to take Gmail (and the domain) away from Google.

I'll be voting for legislators with the nerve to do this.
Can’t we just admit all three major OS’s suck badly for various reasons? Why do we need to pick winners when they all have major usability issues?

* Apple and Microsoft don’t care about your needs at all and provide no route to changing or fixing the software you use. If you aren’t a large corporation you’re nobody. They will NEVER ask your needs but tell you them.

* BSD/Linux with X11 is still working to catch up with basic Windows usability and may already be a suitable replacement for you, but if you want changes they will take years for the community to invest in.

* There are no other options for getting work done.
