I am in favor of more density in San Francisco, but no matter how negatively we feel about nimbyism we must acknowledge that current blocks are tightly packed with single family homes or at best 2-3 unit buildings, and people live there. This creates an obstacle or delay if we think they should be demolished and replaced with denser housing.
It seems strange at first that a particle with a mass of 17 MeV (much less than a proton) would have gone unnoticed, but the particle they describe is protophobic, that is, it doesn't couple to protons, so it wouldn't show up in p-p accelerator experiments.

In nucleon interactions you would have neutrons around which would interact with protophobic particles.

What I still don't get is why the X17 doesn't show up in e-e colliders. (An X boson couples to both leptons and quarks, which is why it can contribute to proton decay)

A protophobic X boson would not contribute to proton decay which could explain why proton decay is not observed.
But you gave English translations for all of those examples. So they don’t actually show that Lithuanian is more expressive than English.
I really didn't like the WhatsApp approach on this. Basically only partnering with few big vendors like twilio and then asking people to build apps via them (by basically paying for it).

Tell HN: If you got an email from AT&T and checked your upcoming bill, ignore it
AT&T is raising rates $10/month on some plans. If you sign in to check your bill, you'll probably see it having doubled.

AT&T's customer service says it's a "CSS" - customer sales summary? - and doesn't reflect any discounts. Increases should just be the $10 additional per month, for the plan (regardless of how many lines).

We've got a four person family plan, and each line is discounted from $40 to $15/month (as everyone's is). Those discounts don't reflect in the CSS.
A motorbike will generally both accelerate and brake faster than a car in a straight line (mostly because it's light), but actually loses on cornering speeds against a four-wheeled car because the bike doesn't have as much lateral grip.
Thanks. I'm trying to gauge whether people think decentralization (and censorship/deplatforming resistance) will be a strong draw in an era of dissatisfaction with dominant social media and community sites. I'll take that as a strong No from your perspective.

I don't see how this could be done without strongly impacting free speech and even some other freedoms.

For example, where is the difference between me talking about a game I like to play and someone talking about a game they like to pay that they were given a free copy to play?

I think looking at forbidding tracking is a better path to pursue. Or maybe making someone legally responsible for their ad codes as if they knowingly placed it there.
Microservices architecture is the modern equivalent of "works on my machine". It's making every other job more difficult for a small productivity boost for the individual developer.

This only makes sense if that's your bottleneck. It usually isn't. Most orgs I come across have deployment issues that they make worse by creating so much more things that need deployments done in sync.
I would argue that the sort of thing the author is describing is fairly pervasive (and growing rapidly) in society, and may be having effects to a far underappreciated degree. Rather than logging off and ignoring it, I think we need more out of the box thinking like this, from as many seemingly bizarre perspectives as possible, not less.
That is a good point. I have often found the temperatures in recipes to not work great with my combination of pots and pans and need to tweak.

4th paragraph of the article:

> The principal advantage of the monorail cited by Shilovsky is the suppression of hunting oscillation, a speed limitation encountered by conventional railways at the time. Also, sharper turns are possible compared to the 7 km radius of turn typical of modern high-speed trains such as the TGV, because the vehicle will bank automatically on bends, like an aircraft,[1] so that no lateral centrifugal acceleration is experienced on board.
I hope people don't fixate on this and see this as the issue:

> Instead, I had managers old enough to be my father...

This...

> ... an attitude that wanting to move around within the company was "disloyal" to my current management.

... is bad management and bad company culture and are the reasons you get older managers who are inflexible and just riding out a paycheck. Those are the areas to fixate on and if you see it, leave. Nobody should have to work under those conditions. Working for an older manager shouldn't (and rarely is), in and of itself, be a red flag.

I think the catch is that a hacker mindset can easily come up with 3 different laws that people would try to pass and then 4 different hacks to each of those laws.

Weworkremotely.com is my go to for remote specific jobs. There are dozens of spin-offs, but they essentially scrape the same underlying data.

Weworkremotely seems to have less desirable/less motivated roles, but I have had some good conversations. You will notice a handful of companies that seem to be endlessly posting on those sites.
I love my Keebio Iris; I've built three at this point, for my two work machines and my home office. 60%, split, columnar, programmable with QMK. Since they're completely split, with only a cable between them, I can place them in whatever angle is perfectly comfortable for me, and I have room for my track ball between them for super easy access [0]

The main power in these custom boards is in the firmware, allowing you limitless customization. If you're the sort of person to place Escape or Control on your CapsLock button via OS tools, this takes that to another level. I never have to take my hands out of home position.

Some of my layout details [1]:

* When spacebar is held down, it activates a navigation layer instead of typing space. In this layer, I have HJKL arrow keys, along with page up/down, home/end, my numrow becomes function keys, and Tab/CapsLock cycle through browser tabs.

* The CapsLock button is Escape when tapped, Control when held down.

* The damn. key [0] is Control-Alt-Delete when tapped once, Control-Shift-Escape when tapped twice.

* The fn key, when held, turns the right half of the board into a traditional numpad descending from the 789 keys in the numrow.

* The raise key, when held, gives access to any special characters not already in the main layout (-_{}[]+=|\)

I also have a separate BDN9 macropad [0] with rotary encoders for volume/zoom, and keys mapped to the debugging navigation keys for software debugging. Also has a screenshot macro (print screen, win+R, type "mspaint", enter, wait 750ms, control+P). It has a key that will open notepad on a single-tap (win+R, type "notepad", enter) or type out a long email header I use frequently when double-tapped.

There is certainly an aesthetic component (I love the look and feel of my boards and my keycaps), and the build was a big draw (soldering everything together, programming the layout), but the benefit of having a totally custom setup for my specific needs is fantastic.

I think this is the published paper which contains the same vulnerabilites mentioned in the first link.
Early era websites were full of links to other sites.

This sort of confuses two different purposes, however: navigation (and thus assumptions about context, use and train of thought in the viewer) is confused with data (actual content).

The semantic web tried and failed to fix this, probably because any solution to a puzzling situation involving educating people, asking them to put in substantially more effort, and assuming they have the capacity and foresight to think clearly and abstractly at multiple levels is fundamentally flawed.

Thus, search engines are not bad: it would be best if they were less centralized, however. In a sense, this is becoming the case: people search less as they obtain better results from their browser history, QR codes, etc.

WebKit Intelligent Tracking Protection 2.0 and later seem to treat all subdomain as equal for tracking purposes.

Does Safari recognize these trackers?

https://webkit.org/blog/8311/intelligent-tracking-prevention...

> Does ITP differentiate between my subdomains?

No. ITP captures statistics and applies its rules for the effective top-level domain plus one, or eTLD+1. An eTLD is .com or .co.uk so an example of an eTLD+1 would be social.co.uk but not sub.social.co.uk (eTLD+2) or just co.uk (eTLD).

https://webkit.org/blog/9521/intelligent-tracking-prevention...

ITP 2.3 counteracts this by downgrading document.referrer to the referrer’s eTLD+1 if the referrer has link decoration and the user was navigated from a classified domain. Say the user is navigated from social.example to website.example and the referrer is https://sub.social.example/some/path/?clickID=0123456789. When social.example’s script on website.example reads document.referrer to retrieve and store the click ID, ITP will make sure only https://social.example is returned.

I was a (young) teenager when MySpace was at its peak and was still an (older) teenager when Facebook got big. The thing about things like myspace and facebook is that users are encouraged to make their profile a representation of themselves. Your Facebook profile was meant to be like your avatar that expresses who you are and is an extension of your identity. I think that attitude is where many of the current problems with social media came from. This trend seems like a pretty big shift in attitude. I'm sure it will bring its own problems, but I hope it will also fix some things that make facebook so detrimental to society.

Notes from the Mom Test: Idea Validation
If your game depends on an online component, and the online component disappears, yeah, you won't be able to run the game unless that missing piece can be recreated somehow (as Flashpoint is doing).

This is exactly the problem with making games rely on external servers in order to start, as Stadia does (for entirely different reasons).
The fundamental problem is that it's not actually required to work because it's not a defensive war, it's an overseas adventure.

If you want to see the most amazing military innovation on zero budget, it's being done in Syrian garages or on the streets of Hong Kong. If they fail, the innovators themselves are in physical danger.

The lesson of the Iraq war was that it's possible to throw a trillion dollars into an overseas disaster and all the comfortable profiteers back home remain fine. Why should they change without a gun pointed at them?

> Are the technicians going to fly in to a warzone or if push comes to shove pickup a M4/SA80/G36/FAL/Famas and fight when the Russians come rolling through the Fulda gap

I use a Kinesis Advantage, and although the number row is indeed easy to reach, I still prefer using an embedded numpad on a layer. It's just faster, more accurate and feels less awkward than the number row. Even on the Advantage, the numbers 1, 5, 6 and 0 are awkward to type when using the number row.

EDIT: I agree with you about the gaming aspect, though.
Archaeology is not usually considered part of the "hard" sciences - depending on whom you ask, it's either among the "soft" or the "social" sciences.

Could also note that depending on your circuit breakers, a short circuit will continue delivering higher than its 20A rated capacity for some time until the overcurrent protection goes off.

Thermal breakers won't react as quickly to overcurrent as thermal magnetic breakers, so it depends on what kind of protective equipment is installed.

EDIT: some reference on circuit breakers https://www.se.com/ww/resources/sites/SCHNEIDER_ELECTRIC/con...

> For example: based on the curve on page 3, an iC60 circuit breaker of curve C, 20 A rating, will interrupt a current of 100 A (5 times the rated current In) in: 0.45 seconds at least, 6 seconds at most.

6 seconds is a pretty good chunk of time for a 20A circuit to happily be delivering 100A of current.

The smallest I can go is a "65%" essentially the main keyboard area with an extra right column that generally houses pageup/down ins/del. The extra column allows for a full inverted t arrow cluster.

I've tried smaller boards, but as a software engineer having to do things like chord numbers or arrow keys is simply to much of a chore.
You could also try to provide paid content. I am more than willing to pay for content I like, if the price is reasonable and I can avoid ads and tracking -- I already support a number of media-outlets and podcasts with donations.

If you provide paid content AND try to track me or make even more money with me via ads: goodbye...

On the other hand: If you rely on ads only, it is doubtful that your media-outlet is truly neutral -- would you really do analysis and investigations on your highest paying ad clients (?) -- I doubt it...

Holding your fingers at home row and stretching always felt weird to me, and I learned to type naturally.

I can type ~60 WPM if I'm really trying, but I never really have occasion to type that fast
Not to mention the challenge of using a debugger. I can drop a trace in a monolith and hop around in control flow to explore stuff more easily than in a service cluster with each service potentially written in a different language.

This[0] shows that coal fueled energy production produces about 65% of CO2 emissions related to energy production in the US. This[1] shows that energy production makes up 92.6% of all coal consumption in the US and residential is at most 1% of that, so it's pretty insignificant in CO2 emissions compared to the other sources of energy production, namely natural gas which produces 33% of all CO2 emissions related to energy production. However, like you say, it'd be significant in places where coal heated homes are more common. And the other pollutants that cause smog and acid rain and other issues definitely cause local problems. But emissions caused by energy production are a much larger problem on a nation wide scale.

It may be that your ISP, or another organisation that your traffic flows through, has implemented an efficient and accurate-enough way to identify speed-test traffic from amongst the actual video traffic. Possibly just by assuming that after a few minutes of transfer or a certain amount of traffic, your current use is not likely to be just for speed testing.

I assume this is why the tester does not run an upstream test by default: otherwise the lack of a block of upstream traffic would be a good signal that video playing is going on rather than throughput testing.

The question is whether or not other full-disk encryption implementations defer to on=device encryption hardware if present. As the paper notes, with the advent of embedded AES instructions in Intel processors, there is little or no performance advantage to doing so, and given the near-certainty that a crypto implementation done by a company or group that isn't a crypto-specialist is going to be flawed, it will likely compromise security to do so.
The scale was different back then.

With a VCR you could make a limited generation of copies, plus normal VCRs could only copy at a 1:1 time ratio so it took two hours to copy a two hour movie.

The copy was notably worse than the original, and if you copied a copy and copied a copy pretty quickly the sync signals would b3e lost.

With the DVD on the other hand, once you cracked the DRM, you could make perfect (better than perfect because of DRM removal) copies at a speed much faster than viewing.

It seems that independent developers will never get legal access to integrate automation or build CRM type apps using WhatsApp, which sucks considering how prevalent WhatsApp usage is.
