I've actually used their firmware update procedure to flash the update to my Samsung Blu-ray player when I got a movie that had unsupported codecs or something. The procedure (download a gzipped directory onto a USB drive, insert into USB port, boot) was well documented and straightforward (easy for anybody who's done related things like installing an O/S), worked the first try, and I've never missed a beat since).

I miss the days when companies cared about the longevity of their products. Companies like IBM and Compaq were infamous for well-placed updates to drivers, firmware, BIOS, and documentation.
Trump has been exceptionally predictable. He's unreliable as an ally, he has no plan on any subject, but he'll do anything for a dollar or a flattering headline. That's it. You think Putin is predictable because he did a horse photoshoot? Jesus.

What harm from meditation ?
FWIW, Facebook, Dropbox and Github use Fido2 just fine on mobile (Chrome browser).

You don't need the TOTP fallback for Facebook on mobile browser (though annoyingly they'll still always send you the code via SMS, if you haven't disabled). I suppose it's possible that their app has issues with FIDO2, and maybe that's why you had to fallback to TOTP.

But yeah, 4 services (including Google), out of all the ones that I use... The track record for supporting FIDO2 is underwhelming. It's especially annoying that you cannot set up backup FIDO2 keys in AWS, which means that I won't rely on it.
> This study thinks we can achieve this with only ~200 MWh of storage.

Agree, very unrealistic.

One thing that always disappointing to me about these conversations is that solar == photovoltaics, batteries == li-ion electrochemical… luckily the world isn't limited to these asumptions and developments have been and continue to be made, even if they are mostly ignored/overlooked by the HN crowd.
The only sane option currently would be to exclude Trump.

But that would cause additional problems because of his ego and childish behaviour. So the best thing currently, is still too wait. It will happen if Trump gets re-elected.

It's not easy for someone new to step-up immediately as the so-called leader of Western democracy.

We all know that Obama and Merkel were potentials/it and Trump isn't. We'll c.

Ps. I think the current/best move to counter China already started. But it seems to bit below the radar currently.
Operation Northwoods was a proposal by the DoD. They planned to use the CIA to carry out false flag/terrorist attacks on Americans and blame it on Cuba.

I agree with this (linked) statement by the CEO, but I think it's too narrow. (Probably needs to be for CEO's purposes, but I'll expand it for more of us.)

The problem is that Big Tech derives its enormous power from the network effects that are pervasive on the "network", the internet. Network effects put users in the position where they can in theory just go "start their own" (phone platform, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), but network effects are so powerful that even the other giants are locked out of each other's occupied territory.

I want to see laws put in place that gradually remove from big companies the rights that individuals and small companies must have (ex: right to refuse service, right to charge what you want, etc.) as a company becomes very large by any one or more of several criteria that include monopoly of a network-effects-based niche or simply number of users (ex: beginning at, say, >10M users).

If you want more users, you'll have to relinquish some control over each. If you insist on complete control, just don't try to extend it beyond a limited number of users.

Apple could have all the control they wanted over a much smaller market and stop growing or continue to grow with less control. License iOS and do whatever you want with your slice of the iOS market, or allow users and software companies to bypass the store and offer the "safety" of the store as an option instead of a command, etc.

Twitter, Facebook, Youtube would never again have to argue for why they need to be free to promote some opinions and silence others if any system that big had to federate their protocols so anyone could post anything from their own provider, like email. Then the big companies could offer their "safety" as an opt-in service. As long as people could say, "thanks, but I'll decide for myself whose feed to subscribe to", they could be completely free to define "safety" any way they wanted.

Amazon likewise would have to open more and more of their infrastructure to competitors if they wanted to be giant. If you're giant, you have to serve small competitors, not put them out of business. The more customers you have, the less power you can maintain over each.
In case you're into Python, try Odoo community edition. There are integrations for PayPal, Stripe, UPS and whatnot. As an ERP system, an Odoo Webshop is integrated with Sales management, warehouse management etc. For me that's a big benefit.

This is a gross revenue tax levied on the providers those services already collect VAT.

This isn’t in any shape or form comparable to VAT this is an import tariff.
Great! I do it exactly the same way.

>Can you explain or post a picture of what proper tilting looks like?

It's very simple. Either make the whole thing flat, or tilt it, but make the part that's close to your wrists higher than the rest, so you can look like a mantis - you bend your hands in a similar way, which is the opposite to how people usually do it and where keyboard's jibs are usually mounted. In both cases gel pads for wrists are mandatory. And the keyboard should be close to the body, not the monitor. Split is a must too.
mindfulness and meditation seems to be all the rage in recent years but looking at the physical state of many students these days and the stated goal:

>"The goal is to help them develop resilience, improve their attention and self-regulation, and prevent everyday stress spiralling into major psychological problems. "

I'd maybe recommend greatly expanding physical exercise and team sports because not only does it address many of the points above it also will reduce obesity and balance out general inactivity. Physical education seems to be severely neglected. Both quality and quantity.

As a point of reference, HumbleBundle charges 5% for the Humble payment widget. They handle hosting your data, all the payment systems for taking payments from most of the world, handling chargebacks on your behalf etc etc.

If you want to sell your game on the Humble Store on the other hand, well then they take a 25% cut. That’s the value in being able to deliver a customer.

Apple’s fixed 30% cut is effectively saying: our brand is more important than yours in delivering customers to your App. The imprinteur of being in our App Store and bringing you a customer is worth 30% of your income. Your ability to deliver your own customers is irrelevant; we’re taking 30% either way. Unsurprisingly this sticks in the craw of some companies.

The fact that Apple’s systems make it almost impossible to effectively communicate with your own customer is an even bigger problem for a customer-focused company who’s income & branding depend on a close relationship with their customers: those companies are completely stuffed by the Apple App model & are the reason the App Store has not lead to the explosion of innovation some of us expected - it’s just not possible for a company to sustain themselves outside a very narrow set of income generation patterns.
Lately in the results page it displays boxes with what it thinks is the answer to your question (e.g. if you search for 'maximum temperature of Intel CPU' it'll give you a number, with a link to the page it got it from). Those are very often extremely wrong for even slightly complex queries. Would be funny if I didn't see so many people blindly trusting those results.
Could you please share the exact answer you got from Google support?

But he is correct. US withdrew current alliances, so the trust to create new ones is partially gone.

There is a reason that the next president will have to restore trust to the US as world leader and will have a tougher job than normal.

This post seems controversial to the community based on voting. I’m wondering how it does not contribute to the discussion. It seems like an obvious statement? Am I wrong in thinking that no behavioral technique is going to be ubiquitously beneficial?
I think self-hosting should be even more "plug and play" to be appealing to more users. During the lockdown I was looking for simple board-like games that could be played over the internet. There were a few promising ones that were only playable on a single hosted domain that hat a capacity of 100 parties. I thought that it couldn't be too asking for the most basic cloud server hardware to serve this game for a few people. I think it should be way more easy and straight-forward for the average user to try out some server application on your own server, be it for playing, collaborative work or organization.

I think Owncloud with its market place is a good example of an engagement into this direction but it looks like it's more like a garden of apps fitted for the platform. What we need is maybe an web-browser accessible hub where we can place or point to an app and quickly configure it to run on the server. SSH optional.

It's a bummer that that there's little demand and awareness for this, especially since we're using our devices in a world of internet services that are either paid or a privacy concern.
If such a major SHTF happens that it warrants rebuilding the society and figuring out how to survive, then Github will be down, internet will be a rare occurence and your computer isn't likely to work for very long either.

Electronic distribution and consumption of media isn't very resilient if one expects a large-scale SHTF event. For such a scenario, it'd be better to pump out tons of copies as cheap paperback books.

Of course, this depends on the definition and scale of the SHTF. Personally I don't think it's much of an SHTF if one still can consult e-books in any form.

This feels very much like mindfulness is trying to be used as a bandaid to cover the (metaphorical) sucking chest wound of student mental health. Schools can be absolutely miserable places for many students. Bullying is rampant, both from students and staff, students are forced to be there, and have very little choice in how to spend their days. If we want to improve mental health in young people, look closely at how we run schools. Reduce class sizes, give students self determination. These aren’t easy steps though.
But these both clearly benefit Ireland and the Netherlands. Many of the major international corporations in the EU are set up in Ireland. Do you think that would be the case if Ireland couldn't attract them with the better tax offers? Ireland even had a referendum that initially rejected the Lisbon Treaty until Ireland got guarantees from the EU that it wouldn't affect their taxation.
>Yes, it does lie in authoritarianism, and that is literally always the defense of authoritarianism.

One can turn this around trivially. Vague allusions to tyranny are always made to justify present-day dysfunction, without any clear expanation of how concrete steps actually lead to said tyranny. It usually just resembles a sort of vague, primal fear of authority.

And on the second point, the US doesn't just have implementation problems. It also altogether lacks power. One reason why construction is so expensive is simply the extreme difficulty to overrule local interests when it comes to acquiring land, and related the threat of litigation.

That's a structural issue, not just a sort of temporary failure. The reason Europe can build rail at one fourth the cost per mile is (among other reasons), that local homeowners don't rule supreme. Just look at California to see what a mess it is.

Not really, redirection from Maps might show a different referral than from Search (you have to test that but it should be pretty trivial to do)

Trademarks are a bit more complicated as the issue of brand confusion and geographical areas are involved.

Very neat project! I did something similar to an old Heyligers organ from the 70's. It was an absolute monster, 2.45 m tall, 1.5 meter wide, double manual and full pedal. I have it working with 'GrandOrgue', an open source organ simulator and it sounds and plays fantastic. Organs are a bit easier than pianos though because the outputs are binary rather than touch sensitive.

Europe has VAT, which from a simplified perspective means that businesses don't directly pay any consumption tax, but have to charge VAT on the value of the goods and services sold to consumers.

So for purchases within Europe, the end consumer is already paying a 25% tax on the digital services provided by google.

But for good and services sold outside the EU, and remember that Europe have export driven philosophies, there is essentially no government revenue from foreign digital services.

Europe deserves compensation for buying American digital services in the same way America deserves compensation for buying German cars. It doesn't. Instead it needs to focus on a more competitive business environment where the money is cycled more times through the economy before ultimately making it's way to the government.

When your dead body is eventually found by a passing hiker, it is going to involve the authorities whether you like it or not. Here in Japan, there is a large forest downhill[0] of Mount Fuji where lots of people choose to commit suicide in. They simply wander in and get lost. Years later, hikers stumble upon their bodies and then the authorities, whether you wanted them to or not, will have swamping the forest looking for clues as to your death, whether it was truly a suicide or if it was foul play.

We live in a society and there is no easy way to divorce ourselves from that reality.

Holy crap! I read about Tesults.com on HN about a year ago and a while ago I wanted to try it out. I googled and searched for hours multiple times. I never found it back until this comment right here.

Thank you!
No, it's not European money at that point. It's the corporation's money, but that's beside the point. The point is that those companies tend to not have the same representation as the local companies do and that some of those governments are willing to use their rules to benefit those local companies, especially when it gets then extra revenue.

It's not like those European countries have a gun to their head. They can always just create their own Google, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Sony etc and stop using the products of foreign corporations. As a European, I personally very much like the services provided by these foreign corporations. I have many issues with them, but they are way better than (most of) the things I've seen made here.
The proof was bank statements about 2 accounts on philipinian banks. Those where bad fakes as E+Y noticed:

- arrived to early (usually takes month)

- issued in € not $

after calling up one of the banks:

- 2/3 signatures fake

- 3rd signature by a person not authorized to sign it

So someone definitely made these statements up in a criminal act. This account does not belong to wirecard directly, but to a trustee or something, which seems to be a normal practice. So in theory he could have stolen the money.

However even the choice of this lawyer is fishy, he specializes in family law...

More fishy stuff know even last year: https://www.ft.com/content/cd12395e-4fb7-11e9-b401-8d9ef1626...
That’s what I’m saying though. The big five compete with each other. They collectively work to stop a sixth.
An EMP attack is of course a plausible and realistic, but a rather costly, dare I say, somewhat of a science fiction formulation of an attack.

Any attacker is unlikely to choose the most costliest and fanciful form of attack. Wouldn't it be much more cost efficient to send multiple groups of people to drive around and snipe or blow up equipment of transformer stations at key places?
Great that you ask help.

I think your next step is to learn about compatibilism (the notion that free will is compatible with determinism). Compatibilism is the main view held by materialist philosophers today.

Framing free will as determinism vs. randomness works only if you equate free will exactly with randomness. If free will has anything to do with agency, randomness is not free will.

I've practised meditation in the past and it made my depression worse. Specifically, my thoughts would flow too freely between associations made in the past and made me think about things that I would prefer to have never experienced in my life. Thinking about those things only worsens my condition. I stopped meditating and now I'm much better at compartmentalizing, I have "fences" in my mind which stop me from wandering into dangerous territories by accident. I'd have to make an effort to go past them. I won't do that. Had enough of it already. I know what's good or bad for me.

I recommend the book "Altered Traits". It looks at some benefits of meditation documented using scientific methods. But it also says that it may not be good for everyone. Specifically, it may be dangerous for people struggling with depression.
