ccs is likely to be the eventual standard. Of course stupid infighting between auto companies means the us and euro ccs standards are different (but similar). China has their own standard, of course.

The tesla standard is arguable superior to all others and is offered unencumbered by patents if the other company agrees not to use it. I've had one for 7 years without running into this problem, but it's not impossible. Tesla keeps building more and more stations, but they are selling so many model 3s.
After a bunch of mishaps (Fukushima being the more recent) it becomes more and more difficult to pretend that nuke plants aren't dangerous.

It justifies fear.

Moreover the waste management problem is not solved.

During the last decades more and more citizen are less and less willing to pay for nuke plants.

In democracies imposing is pretty difficult, and IMHO it's a good thing.

In the same timeframe wind, and even more during the last decade, solar plants costs quickly declined, and even more so nowadays.

Meanwhile nuke specialists experienced in building and running plants retire.

Amazing!

I’ve been wondering, why is it that few people study research methods outside of Ph.D. programs? My guess is that until very recently most people didn’t have access to research material... it was all at university & private libraries.

Also, this highlights how lucky we are to have Wikipedia. I’m not that old and my parents had to save quite a lot for us to have an encyclopedia at home. Few of my friends did. It cost as much as a computer.

10x faster and more capable at what? The tech in phones might be progressing but the use cases aren't. What most people do on their phones now is the same as they did 10 years ago. Eventually people will realise they don't need more speed, and the focus will switch to things like power effeciency and weight. Just like laptops.
I've never understood why that is important?

Incorrectly wired outlets do occur even in the US, so it seems like it's safer to take that possibility into account and just design the whole system to allow them to be interchanged (e.g. make power switches open/close both lines)
I see Hanlon's Razor get throw around a lot, especially on HN. But does it really have any basis in reality?
Please don't bring up old arguments in order to harangue a fellow user, no matter how wrong they were or you feel they were. That kind of thing quickly gets bitter and nasty. We want good conversation here. That requires a collegial spirit and the ability to let some things go.

Also, people are more knowledgeable about the field in which they work, so it makes HN strictly worse if the environment becomes so poisoned that they're disincentivized to participate.

This might be not the case in the US, but outside VPN is very often used for opposite. Half of legal video / music / etc streaming companies have content locked behind per-country limitations and licensing. So if you want to pay for content you'll often need to pretend that you're from US.

For piracy it's cheaper to setup seedbox.

In this case, no. And what they’re doing doesn’t sound all that esoteric either. I’ve got 64gb to use but I’m only going to use 450mb and I’m going to burn a ton of CPU to keep it there does sound like a bug. And yeah, latency but sometimes that’s okay.

Agree the JVM is complicated, but you don’t have to be that complicated. A lot of it is legacy anyway.

Sad to see the GPU IP linger, but at least it's just the GPU. It's not like Pis are meant for video rendering or training ML models or whatnot.
Jeez, tension is real. Specially if you are thinking about cracking top 100. Competition is a b.

Lot of fun though.
The entire point why I'm using a VPN is that I want my traffic to be lost in the crowd, not to be the only one using a VPN from a VPS.

The problem with buying Season Passes is that they're usually a terrible option for many reasons.

They're usually not available until well after the season premiered (12+ months later), roughly at the same time that the DVD/Bluray comes out.

The quality of them is iffy, at best - SD or HD at poor bitrates. Fine for watching on a tablet or laptop, marginal at best on a TV/Surround system.

They're tied to watching on that specific platform, and you're fucked if you wanted to watch on another platform, and if that platform goes away so do all your purchases.

They're region locked, so if you went overseas for a bit, you can't access them.

They're often either as expensive, or more, than the physical Bluray.
I think OP refers to "winning" in an economic sense, trade war or no trade war. The key goal is "my country will have more global influence than yours in 100 years".

Taxes, tariffs, import/export bans of goods or technology, etc. are all just tools in the arsenal of both sides they will use when it seems to give them an edge over the competition.
Management figured out how to manage the "hackers", and the good "hackers" learned how to socialize (what this article calls "politics").

It seems to be acceptable when I do it. I just say something like, “Hey would you mind if we all put our phones away for the afternoon so we won’t be distracted by them?” Or going into a meeting I’ll say “hey can we all keep our laptops closed to avoid distraction, please?”

Nobody has ever gotten upset, or said no for that matter.

The facts that

1. People once trained generally do not have a problem identifying word boundaries. There are edge cases, but for whatever reason they don't tend to cause problems.

2. People overwhelmingly agree that marking of word boundaries in text is useful.

Neither of those is true for apostrophes. They're hard for people to remember even after being trained, and they add no value.
No, they are just working with the Murdoch press and LNP government to stymie and delay the uptake of renewable energy and ensure that enough of the electorate has sufficient doubt about possible, future ramifications of mass renewable uptake to protect the returns on coal power station investments.

I think an increase in ownership base fundamentally makes it easier to trust an entity, especially in a public company setting where transparency is a must.

Rather than trusting 1/1 owner of a company you just need to trust 1/n with significant control.

The original PIA group will maintain significant control.
That's not how binning works. If you don't have enough of your top bin to supply the demand at your price point, you're not selling it at a loss, merely leaving money on the table.

Supply isn't deliberately restricted, it's just you can't ramp up production of your top bins without also making more of everything else.

If it were a different die entirely this might make more sense. But it's not.

I have a Skywatcher refractor telescope and can recommend them.

Refractors give a nice contrasty image for planets in our solar system.

I would say they are probably something like 1/5th the cost you usually need to spend for the same image quality.

Failure Modes and Continuous Resilience
Given Kape's past history, I'm skeptical that PIA will be able to maintain their current levels of privacy regarding data mining and logging. I'm willing to give PIA the benefit of the doubt and accept that they believe they'll be able to do so, but as is the case in mergers like these, sometimes you simply lose that battle with your new corporate partner. My fear is that they end up doing the same level of shady activity as NordVPN [1] [2] or worse. The fact that Kape paid off PIA's $32.1m debt as part of the deal leads me to believe they'll be looking for more creative ways to monetize the service in the future. Since PIA was in debt, it doesn't sound like maintaining the current service as is would be profitable.

Mullvad's policies and account creation process demonstrate an awareness and commitment to privacy as a number one priority. Yes, at the end of the day, none of us really knows what a VPN service is doing on the back end, but the fact that they have detailed public information about their operations, as well as additional privacy options such as paying with cash/crypto, is a good sign. Other little things, such as supporting WireGuard and running their own Bitcoin nodes instead of relying on third party services for crypto payments, are also good signs that their team has above average technical chops compared to other providers.

Well, people need to learn not to depend on redundant Wordpress plugins.

The plugin-landscape in Wordpress is plagued by bugs and ads, some spamming you to update or pay for a premium version. That is not something you would accept for professional CMS solutions.

If you consider yourself knowledgeable in SEO, then learn to walk the talk and stop relying on phony third-party plugins!

SEO is such a small part of owning a website, and ideally, any technical SEO that is needed should be integrated in the core CMS by developers and not fiddled with at random by clueless bloggers or SEO gurus.

Since Wordpress is such "crapware" out-of-the-box, you can easily create a Yoast replacement plugin to handle what is really needed. The rest is just useless bloat and clutter.

I would not touch Yoast in my wildest dream. It is totally redundant for people who can code themselves.
As far as I understood the context, it was about language runtimes. Underneath all languages, there’re usually OS kernel, drivers and hardware. They all have non-trivial amount of unexpected behavior, especially under load. But these apply to code written in all languages, almost equally.

BTW, C++ does have a scheduler. Optional like the rest of the runtime, but it’s 1 line of code away in all modern compilers, that line starts with #pragma omp.

the question is what you're basing this assumption on. Fake Apple chargers also "seem really good" until they blow up or are disassembled to unveil the obvious electrical issues.
Great question! That’s part of the plan.

I'm not of the opinion that many poorer countries would also be capable of fighting for worker pay were it adjusted for what is clearly national potential.

The GP comment was teetering on the edge of that rule, and maybe toppled onto the wrong side. But your comment was way over from the beginning.

I'm not aware of high karma affecting how we do HN moderation. We ask people not to break the rules when we see them breaking the rules. Sometimes we reply to everyone in a thread who did that, but not always—perfect consistency isn't possible. Nor is it necessary, because someone else breaking the rules doesn't make it ok for you to break them: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

My experience is a bit different. Peering works pretty well to many providers, especially with Cloudflare. The big disadvantage of Hetzner is that they're located in Germany and Finland only, so not great if your customers sit in the US. But OVH Canada provides reasonable options for that.
I assume there is the same amount of “true” hackers out there. At least that is my impression from the Chaos Communication Congress and alike. Probably the percentage of “true” hackers is way smaller now as computers became cheap and more accessible. If you look at the “great and true hackers” from the 80s and before, most of them probably come from academia, government agencies or wealthy backgrounds.

I for one welcome the change, because I think the entry barrier to become a “true” hacker is probably the same as before, if not easier and we definitely opened the doors for more people.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. But the issue in journalism that I hear most often isn't about the quality of writing, it's about the editorial decisions, the choice of what to write about and how to spin it, and the lack of sufficient fact checking and investigation. I think the writing skills are fine. In fact I'd prefer that the writing skills went down a notch: I'd rather have someone just give me a dull list of facts.

I'd happily pay for a newsfeed that had only stories that I found relevant, factual and matter-of-fact rather than vapid, sensational, emotional and/or manipulative. One more story about something Trump tweeted or something about a Kardashian and I swear I'm going to break my TV. It also really bothers me that stories I hear about through back channels (overseas media, youtube live videos, government websites) are entirely ignored by most media outlets.. their choices of what is and isn't a story is IMHO way different than what I would be willing to pay for. My money mostly stays in my pocket given the dearth of good choices but there are a few sources out there I've been happy with: AgendaFree TV, Subverse News, AllSides.com. Public news radio has also been very good, and WSJ, Reuters and AP seem to be the most sufferable of the mainstream.
Sometimes that can help, but don't forget that you still need to run integration tests on the whole thing.
The developer in question has probably lived some pretty bad 40 years with nightmares about the issue. They might be 60 now, or 80, or already passed away. Only bright spot was probably the fact that they were not known and thus it didn’t have a wide social effect on their life. I have a hunch that last part is about to end in a few months.

There was some action from Intel. They slashed the prices of their 10000 series by up to 50% to be able to compete in terms of price. But those CPUs are just refreshes of their 9000 series so it didn't do much in terms of improving performance.
From what I've heard throughout the hardware reviewer scene it also gained them a lot of flack because they announced it a day before the new Threadrippers I think.
In terms of new, much more powerful hardware Intel can't do much for now. Maybe 2020 or 2021. By which time AMD will have Zen 3 which promises some more big improvements.

Er, why isn't this prominently mentioned in the blog post?

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2019/11/bellum-om...

I didn't lose trust in PIA because of Kape, I lost it because your blog post was poorly written and inadequately communicated some very important news. You bury mentions of a merger in the 7th paragraph, wtf?

I can't trust PIA if you can't be trusted to clearly communicate such important information.
FWIW, if you want a VPN for protecting your traffic while you're out in the world, get a nice home router that provides VPN and dynamic dns support.
There is the assumption that this is to protect the programmer -- however I feel it's much more likely it's there to protect others.

As others have pointed out, this was a systemic failure. Pointing out the individual highlights those upstream.
When I read the headline I first thought it was about the song :D (which is a bit sad considering I’m south american)
> malice comes and goes. Incompetence is systemic.

now that is a quote
Why do you have the belief that the government in the country that the VPN provider is operating is not logging everything that goes into or out of the provider (with or without the provider's knowledge)?

It seems pretty plain to me; Mullvad's website even has the relevant section on Swedish legislation that requires it for national defense.

I just don't see how trust in a provider has any bearing whatsoever on the privacy of the connection they provide; they can't do anything whatsoever to stop (or even detect) governments from logging all of the data that comes into or out of their networks.
Ah, we were talking about two different articles, sorry for the mixup. I was thinking of the Apostrophe Society article, which calls out "it's" vs. "its".

Yes, of course the use of "Decade's" is correct in the article title you're referring to.
I'd like to see free trials regulated. 80% of the ongoing price should be the maximum discount allowed for any first billing period. It's like a tollway on-ramp advertising "free* toll for X miles, for the next Y minutes" ... "(*) after which, as much as we care to charge". It stifles assessment of the value for the service as a whole, which is the stated point of a trial. A cheap sentiment is understood but an expensive rate is locked-in. It's a Fake Gesture.

Dark patterns at the off-ramp deserve more attention too. Try to unsubscribe from netflix and they would just as soon give you an extra one or two months free, asking you to cancel later. They know something finally prompted you to the task after a few months of sparse usage which may not happen the next time. Before you know it, you helped make a trusted account on a friends device and it becomes easier to justify the expense.
And after that:

- Laser

- Amazon
A recator that can be passively cooled and operates at atmosphere pressure will not have the problems of these big reactors. A small design that can be produced in a factory will make the cost reasonable and preictable.

The integral molten salt reactor has these advantages and should be comercialy available wothin 10 years.
Why would VPN providers be excluded from national governments' internet surveillance systems? If anything, I'd think they'd get extra scrutiny.
