Hi, I think your presentation has really valuable information, is it possible to download it somehow?
Indeed! More than getting ripped off on capacity, I'm super scared of using large capacity lithium batteries in general. Having seen small samsung phones blow up, I'm a little scared and have a lot of fuses and cut off switches.

That is a rare thing for me these days with uBlock Origin. I assume you're referring to broken websites when using ad blocking.
My guess it's more along the lines of the problem of marketing the new shiny to new users or new projects vs supporting the existing users. In a perfect world, they would build the new shiny and their existing users would switch (which it sounds like they keep pushing for) and their hopeful new users would be happy seeing the new shiny stuff.

The real world means you have to support both for some long period of time, because your existing users won't and many times can't switch because of myriad reasons you didn't think of, and if you can't both support the old and build the new, you have problems. Like this.
I know you are trolling. But, what country are you using as an example? And what is the “this” in the comment you are replying to (I think you are attempting to make a point rather than actually responding to the content)? And finally, investing in education is a better solution than suppressing the vote.
> Our system is 100% entirely dependent upon ARTIFICIALLY low interest rates driven by Central Banks.

It's the other way around: the entire reason why everything is so screwed is because of interest. It's an evil and exploitative practice that has destroyed so many people, only for a relative few to become wealthy. It's obvious today how this works out, but it's been going on for thousands of years, which is why it's banned in many religions, and for good reason.
I've put Arch and Raspbian on a Pi. I know Raspbian is The Official Raspberry Pi distro, but gee whiz, Arch felt a lot more solid. I ended up using Raspbian to build a 4-node Kubernetes cluster, you just can't do it with Arch.
Lots of companies reached monopoly status because they were simply better than the competition.

The point of breaking up monopolies is not to make a moral statement about the company, but because we've found that monopolies are generally bad for society.
The winky face was just some fun and levity and on those terms, I really would not encourage trying to unpack the emoticon knapsack. Things tend to get weird. Have a good one! :)

That link (the one in your other comment works) doesn't really say anything the article doesn't already.

All it says is that the account was shut down a week after the event, and that "it seems possible ZOOM acted on pressure from the CCP to shut down our account".

That appears to be pure conjecture however, which is why I want to hear Zoom's side. Nobody's disputing the account was blocked, but there's zero information on why.
Only if you presuppose "will" to mean "non-determinstic choice", in which case you should justify why that's relevant for moral responsibility.

I've asserted that deterministic choice is perfectly compatible with responsibility, and that our moral and legal reasoning is compatible with this conception.
> Is there any reason not to assume that the Chinese government is surveilling Zoom calls en masse?

Why does this event move the needle one way or another? The group had a paid account so Zoom knows who they are, and this was a publicized event. All the Chinese government needed to know was an event they don't like was happening, with the services of a company they can exercise soft power over.
My daily use phone is a Motorola Razr from 2005. Works great and actually fits in a pocket.
I don't think so. People only listen to people they admire, they don't listen to people they do not.

If nobody listens and respect you you can't be a good coach. This happened in Real Madrid with a coach that had been a mediocre player. The "top of the world starts" did not listen to this person because they did not admire or respected him.

In Rocky the film for example you see as Rocky gives an advice to a kid, before he is famous. The kid does not listen because "Who are you? A loser".

This could happen even if the person is a master, because of envy. I remember a man that was very successful with women, and wanting honestly to help others do the same, only to being rejected by others because they felt threatened or envied him so much.

I see this every day, when someone who is successful at something because he does something better than others. But others do not admit that this person is better creating rationalizations like "this person is so lucky", and then they will generalize even further "all success is luck", when they could not get it.

I know because I have learned a lot from those people and in some ways replicated their success. The only thing I needed to do was admiring that they were better than me at something, being humble at first, and that looks easy but it is very hard because it goes against your ego.

I took a skiing lesson from a master and he looked at me skiing and made me practice basic sky lessons: the kind novices take.

I remember thinking: WTF! I already know how to ski well!! But I forced myself into listening and doing exactly what he told me, even when it looked ridiculous and made no sense.

My skiing improved radically because of that.
This is interesting. Wittgenstein argues that this idea of 'tacit knowledge' has no meaning. What the article describes is practice.

'My point is that their explanations would not lead me to the same ability that they had.' is a very Wittgensteinian thing to say. See i.e. the parable of the wayward pupil in the Investigations on what role understanding/practice even play in the context of a statement like 'would not lead me to the same ability that they had'

'But the more I pushed, the more exceptions and caveats and potential gotchas I unearthed.' W argues that this is a result of our concept of what it means to understand. Can you name an idea where this doesn't hold? W uses a great example of your knowledge of the Natural Numbers. Just because you hadn't thought of the number 10324 beforehand, does that mean your knowledge didn't encompass it? Before you attempt to foist the problem onto mathematical logic (it doesn't work, but the answers become longer than an HN comment) consider your concept of the color 'red'. What shape is it? Did you a prior have in your mind the shape of red? Is there a color that I could show you which you might consider red and someone else would not?

The core problem is this idea that 'explanations' in the source are implicitly able to be fully specified or that any knowledge exists without practice. See i.e. W's theory of language for a mind blowing explanation.

I think the real question I would pose to the author is, what knowledge do you think qualifies as 'explicit'? I think you will find your answers supremely unsatisfying. If you don't, try Kripke's 'Wittgenstein's Paradox' and Goldfarb's (admittedly much more dense) 'Rule Following'
It happens that you work overtime sometimes because of such extra tasks? More than 40h/week?
Why should it matter if it's general? And why should it matter if it can learn?

Decision process is making decisions. Why create additional conditions? Most people would agree a person with no long term memory still has free will.

The only reason people add these conditions is to be able to continue living in an illusion of free will and of being something more than algorithm :)

I guess they could spend all their time researching random problems, but lobbying helps vet important issues. They are representing a constituency, after all.

And, in reality, good politicians do do their own research, and many even write bills and promote policy that they genuinely believe in (even when it agrees with lobbyists).

What I tell other people what it's been like working with PHP, it's usually this:

"Working with PHP is like having a crazy guy with a gun on your side, by his nature he is powerful and potent, and you can definitely get a lot of stuff done with him... but who the hell gave this guy a gun?"
Aha. Is this how folks actually attain worthwhile rates of return on very low-return, low-risk investments?

[EDIT] well no that can't be it because it requires even more money coming in for those loans, which can't provide more expected return than the bonds they're buying or the whole thing would be pointless.
Well, because even though people on HN loves to preach "open dissent and criticism", HN hates actual dissent and criticism against the HN party line. So I am not surprised she/he got downvoted.
I received the same message unfortunately. I'm really sad to see that we won't be able to have full access to O'reilly Online Learning. I use it a lot every single day and it was the reason why I became an ACM member. I will see if I will renew my membership.

>There are advantages to the efficiency of authoritarian power, but how do they handle peaceful transition of power?

Europe had hereditary transitions of power, which were about as peaceful as any other form of transition of power. In Rome you would choose your successor and he would be the next emperor.

> I probably could not be persuaded that limits on speech and government censorship are good long-term for the health of a society that I'd want to actually live in. I think it's a good thing for governments to ultimately be accountable to their people.

Just because it's supposed to work that way doesn't mean it actually works that way. Do you think Americans are using free speech well? Do you feel like the government is accountable to you? In America you have free speech but it's not practically useful for anything. Have a go at trying to stop some government abuse of power.

I still have my ZX Spectrum+, released in 1984, making it 36 years old. I don't use it daily, but last time I checked, it worked fine. There's a simple mod to get composite video out, so it can be plugged into a modern TV.
We're in the process of moving away from an internal build system for the packaging to having the debian package scripts as part of the repo. This work is underway for BigBlueButton 2.3 (the next version) and beyond. Once we get them released, it's going to be a lot easier for others to build and contribute to the packaging.
Yeah, I mean, the tagging is awesome, but I'm thinking I'll need more image segmentation than object recognition. With a segmentation map, I can make a great image->image translator.

> Money's only useful for what it can buy, and its value has been artificially inflated by a social structure that makes it something that you just can't live without.

That's a good point. And makes me think of videogames analogy, particularly MMORPG.

In a typical MMO, you need to labor to earn money (known as "grinding") to buy all the stuff you'll need to make progress easier (and/or possible). But at any time, you can just stop, take time off, go explore the places you've been to (i.e. not containing enemies stronger than you can beat), or even just log out and leave your character be for a week. You lose nothing except time and perhaps your rank in some completely optional competition with other players. But your character won't go hungry, won't starve or freeze to death, won't be evicted for not paying taxes.

That illustrates the difference between money being useful, versus being necessary. And even if it's only useful and not necessary, that doesn't mean you won't be motivated to earn it - you will want more money if the things you can buy with it are interesting enough.
Only tangentially relevant, but a keyworded bookmark in Firefox is very useful way to get to wikipedia. If you create a bookmark like this:

name: wp

location: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s

tags:

keyword: wp

then typing 'wp foo' in the url bar will take you straight to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo.

That's the fix I needed, cheers! For some reason it doesn't impact the Google Meet quality for me but now Jitsi looks great.
Sometimes checkout on storefront sites will rely on scripts served from domains that adblockers block. When this happens, it's easy enough to turn the adblocker off for a few minutes (or, conversely, to decide "nope I'm not shopping here").
Which was a positive name change.

"YouTube Red" sounded like some adult service. Whereas YouTube Premium leaves most people knowing what it is before you tell them.
One approach to react to ridiculous behavior is to simply ask the other person something like "so you're telling me to repeat that I'll be fired if I don't do X".

This technique is called mirroring.

It's a tacit reminder to the other person that what they're saying is outside the boundary of your immediate comprehension - forcing them to be more conscious of their behavior.
I'll do my best, swinglock. I heard somewhere that UBlock Origin has acceptable ads, and based on that, the AdBlocker Ultimate had an appeal to me of removing them all.

I went on to investigate on it, and couldn't find much on UBlock Origin having acceptable ads. Some shady UBlock Origin-like websites claimed that, but UBlock Origin itself blocked them.

I'm wrong about UBlock Origin having acceptable ads, from what I gathered. Thank you for questioning my claims, swinglock.

60 miles isn't that far. If you can get some dark fiber you can go the full distance with one hop using off the shelf optics.

Not that you are particularly hard up for connectivity. Fort Collins is on the old Level3 network so you should have no problem getting transport, waves or dark fiber to the Denver IX. Or you could just buy IP transit at the local PoP.
But what about a source of income? I want to contribute to open source, but after all we live in a capitalist society and people have to get a "real job" (read: writing spyware for microsoft) in order to buy food and shelter and to live, instead of writing code for free.

I would think a "criminal beggar" as you call it could come up with an equally convincing sob story which doesn't involve revealing a "criminal" background. In my anecdotal experiences, random strangers asking for money almost always give the excuse that their church bus full of children broke down 10 blocks away in the bad part of town, etc.

Interesting that 'modern' gadgets with few moving parts and for the most part no maintenance. And how long they'll last sitting tucked away in drawers if nothing fouls. Though maybe one day it'll be hard to actually find AA batteries.

Just before electricity became 'the norm' how complex and intricate things were. Especially with how 'rugged' they were in operation and use.

>Everyone's salary will naturally go down, since the shares they get each month are worth less, but it will feel better because "no layoffs and no pay cuts are necessary".

Leaving aside share buybacks, they're still paying the same salary and are still distributing shares from the same allocated pool.

On the other hand, if there is a big share price drop, a lot of your employees have suddenly taken a big compensation hit. (And they may have already paid taxes based on a higher share price at the time of vesting if they didn't immediately sell which is another argument not to hold onto a lot of RSU shares after vesting.)
Like the other poster says, I have cheap vps which I connect to from my home machine using wireguard. The vps instance forwards Internet requests down the wireguard tunnel to my machine.

Ultimately it boils down to a value judgment.

RT and Sputnik spread misinformation and have coordinated efforts to influence another country's elections.

The activist in question was providing a forum for people affected by the Tiananmen massacre to memorialize their loved ones and ensure people remember what happened.

I'm fine with the first ban, but not the second, and I don't think it's at all weird or hypocritical to hold that position. "Spreading lies with the goal of sowing geopolitical discord" is not the same as "memorializing a historical event that China would rather sweep under the rug".

(And before you say "but the US influences elections all the time", yes, I agree that the US does do that, and I wish it wouldn't, but that's not material to this particular discussion.)
>There is no such thing as "artificial" or "natural" rates of interest.

In a sense this is semantically correct, there is no one true interest rate, in a hypothetical pure market there are many rates for many different types of transactions.

But to say that wildly misses the point that the rates for all transactions are hugely skewed, all in the same direction, because a single player, who writes the laws, and prints the money, is putting enormous pressure on rates.

So yes, there is no objective one natural rate. But all rates right now are extremely artificially skewed.

> Why would, or should, they "tick up"? Capital is abundant.

Capital is abundant for the sole purpose of keeping rates low. You are confusing the causality here. If they weren't being suppressed, and actors were setting rates on a per transaction basis, then they would drastically tick up as many of the underlying entities economy wide have riskier default profiles than they have in the past. This isn't conspiratorial or speculative. This is widely understood to be true by mainstream economists, even those who support the rate suppression.
Less weights, more accuracy. Magic :)

> neck aches

I get these when I have monitors unbalanced off to one side and have my head constantly turned in that direction. On the other hand I've had 5-wide monitor setups and been fine, because they were properly balanced.

> Managing windows and which screens they are on is an overhead I don’t need to deal with.

Conversely, constantly managing which windows are on top and visible is overhead I don't need to deal with. I use a quad 4k 29" monitor setups at minimum these days, and bought the extra monitors for workplaces that won't provide them. I want documentation, my IDE, my fullscreen game I'm debugging, etc. all visible at once without the need to constantly alt+tab around.

In many cases I yearn for a 5th monitor. Debugging networked stuff, for example, might benefit from two debuggers, two fullscreen games, and then I'm already forced to split monitors if I want documentation. For desktop games I can at least split one monitor between two game windows - although that's not an option for console dev, typically, unless I want to resort to even more fiddly picture-in-picture nonsense...

EDIT: I'll also print off sheet music single-sided so all pages are visible at once - and so I don't have to raise my hands off the instrument to flip pages. Same principle IMO - place stuff in a relatively stable configuration once up front, so it's not constantly interrupting my flow.

Yes, most programs target the generic x86-64 ISA which means sse2 at most. Still some have accellerated paths that are enabled looking at feature bits. So a simple solution is for the os to mask out some of those bits for processes that intends to potentially migrate to the less featured cores, while potentially giving the option to let the user "pin" a process to the fast cores enabling the all features.
The rationale gets weaker and weaker. Switches get cheaper and cheaper every year and require less and less labor to run.

You can support 5x the bandwidth at 50% of the cost and 20% of the labor than you could in 2005-2010.
Just about any of them would do. It's like saying "I want to drive from Chicago to Minneapolis in a car. Which brand of car should I drive?" Just about all the car brands will get you there. ;)

At the end of the day, I recommend figuring out your preferred distro if you haven't already and going from there. Most major distributions like Ubuntu, openSuSE, and Fedora have Raspberry Pi versions.

If you're asking for optimizations, you'll find them in keeping as few processes running as possible, and you may get better speeds by hardware means such as purchasing a micro SD card with faster read-write capability or getting a cooling fan for the CPU.

Hope that helps, and props to making and running your own website from home! :)
