That's why I've called it harmful - choice between your complains and people writing code is obvious. Fork it, patch it, there is no burden - if people care maintainers would switch, if switched enough patch would get in upstream. Or provide own repository with patches, that's FOSS way. If not by yourself than sponsor.

How much do you actually care? How much would you pay? Is it free as speech or free as beer?
Does it? The major tax overhaul a couple years ago capped the property tax deduction at a low enough level (while increasing the standard exemption) that, at least in high-property tax jurisdictions, there is no benefit to being a homeowner.

I pay something in the range of $15k-$20k in property taxes and mortgage interest, but receive zero deduction/exemption on my federal taxes for it.
Very cool. Good touch sensors are one of the biggest bottlenecks in manipulation today - nearly everything commercially available is terrible and extremely expensive.

I’ve only watched the video here, but I wonder how separable cable manipulation is from the actual insertion task. At some point, there’s a transition between the connector and the flexible cable that, for many kinds of connectors, requires a transition in manipulation strategy. Think about how you have to adjust your grip from the wire to the jack when you plug in a Cat6 cable.

I bring this up because the headphone jack example there isn’t really demonstrative of this difficult modality transition dynamic.

Great work nevertheless!
Was thinking about a dating app where you only get to reveal a few photos/ability to message after answering a short multiple choice quiz managed by the user. The questions can be arbitrary but the point is that the pursued gets to control which pursuer can get to their profile via question navigation. This could help throw off unwanted pursuers.
> Even better? I can use the 2 TB for whatever I want, not just for the torrents. That's cheaper than most cloud storage plans for just dummy storage without any torrenting features!

To be clear: you're presumably not paying for redundancy there (which you usually are with cloud providers), so you're trading price for an increased risk of data loss, which may or may not matter to you.

My hot take: You need to close a tab when you're done with it. Not after you've accumulated 40. Nobody can focus on more than one thing at a time anyways. Save yourself the grueling task of "Do I need to keep this tab?" every time before switching to a new tab.

In my opinion, police won't budge much unless a higher authority is pressing on them. It's not that they can't find the bike thief, they definitely can (and in a timely fashion). They simply do not care.

Banks seems to have lots of influence and move things around. Bank thefts (where I live) net for thieves around 10-20k USD. They get lots of police action. Other thefts with even higher amounts go unnoticed.

Tl;DR, It is TSMC, not Apple.

I have been thinking starting a blog on the topic considering how often this question keeps popping up. From a very high level overview.

1. Apple is partnering with TSMC. TSMC is now the leader in leading edge semiconductor manufacturing. A title that used to belong to Intel.

2. TSMC is now a generation ahead of Intel, meaning those thermal efficiency you see comes from using a better node. Nothing much to do with ARM or x86.

3. Both ARM and TSMC has dramatically change the Industry, you can now buy Designs / Blueprints from ARM, ( Or any other IP vendors such as Img PowerVR ) and Fab ( meaning producing them ) them with a Foundry.

4. TSMC is a Pure Play Foundry, meaning the Foundry does not produce their own chip and sell in the market to compete with its customers. A Non Pure Play Example would be Samsung or Intel, where Samsung produce their own Mobile SoC Exynos, and Intel with their x86 Chip. If you were Qualcomm producing your chip in Samsung's Fab, you are directly competing with them.

5. Apple now has the volume, or economy of scale to produce CPU themselves. Apple makes more silicon in unit volume than Intel per year.

So the inevitable Question:

Why Doesn't Intel go to TSMC then?

Intel would earn more margins by producing it themselves. Second being moving these designs take years, especially for Intel which have their own design tools in house. Intel cares about margins, and you can tell from their investor meetings.

Ask HN: How to build a 'full stack' workshop/laboratory?
Lots of people have, in the past, built electronics labs. But my perception is that the more 'full stack' lab is a bit more rare for the hobbyist.

Has anyone built their own lab/workshop to have cross disciplinary machines and tools. Oscilloscopes and soldering irons on the opposite side of the room to a lathe and a milling machine.

If so, what did you have in it? How did you put it together? What are the most important machines and tools that are responsible for the majority of things built?

It seems like an anonymous hitman system just doesn't work.

For the hitman, it's much safer to just take the down payment / etc and not do anything. That's just way more cost effective / lower risk to do that over and over again.

For the person hiring them... no reason to think the hitman won't do the logical thing and not do the hit / walk with the up front cash.... and probably limited no incentive to pay after the deed is done if in fact everyone is anonymous.

Historically speaking hitmen seem to be tied to organizations who the hitman and the employer more or less can trust / provide some level of protection / regular work / other work or at least the promise of it. And generally the the professional hitmen eventually tend to be disposed of by the next hitman after their usefulness to their employer fades...

A system where nobody trusts anyone would seem to only attract scammers and some random idiots.

Hard to imagine it working out any other way.

Yuri Bezmenov has an interview where he explains the more subtle way the USSR would weaken the US (after Stalin’s time)

Yuri was right. All along the US thought it was projecting soft power via Hollywood movies, and it did and does but there are other dimensions to the whole thing, and given our system of governance there is no way to avoid getting to where we are.

In the USSR and China today, it’s not up to factions to make up or derive what ones principles are, what the mores are, who the authorities are. There is no equivocation, it always comes from the state.

Teachers, professors, etc., anyone questioning certain tenets would get nudges or more aggressive tactics to cease those lines of thinking.

I'm sure this already exists but IMO they should switch to working on an online version, by which I mean software you can install on a server that gives you an online document editor like Google Drive, Office 365 etc...

I'm probably just not the target market. One way or another I bought and owned MS Office from about 1993 through 2008-9 but I haven't touched it since really have no need. Nearly everything I write is for online consumption. LibreOffice nor MS Office do this well. Using either to generate PDFs is also horrible. Unlike HTML, PDFs don't reflow for my phone, tablet, etc..

I'm sure others will disagree but it just feels like it's about time for these products to die. Maybe the spreadsheet can say around for but me, if I can't let other people edit together live what's the point? In fact I'd think all the work from home from Covid should make this abundantly clear that both MS Office and LibreOffice are like BBS software from the early 90s

Rofl the fact people are taking your comment seriously says a lot about the shear lack of humor on this site
This article is gross, and by this point, the advice is trite and uninteresting. There have been hundreds of books and articles about the benefits of being an asshole, but the author wants to be on hacker news (pursuit of the approval of other users?), so here we are. Maybe that impression means the author is winning.

The central point: "praise by the masses won't make you successful" and within the same breath, "Movie stars, professional athletes, and a business visionaries–we all want to be them." Perhaps they're more likeable than you think? I promise you you're not alone among the legion of boys who idolize Elon Musk.

Conflating being likeable, popular, and conformist, is reductive and wrong -- but maybe it's accurate through the narrow lens of how Silicon Valley defines "success" and "progress."

It is an ideology of individualism and cancerous growth, and it is a culture that hates difference, community, and visible flaws (from the article: "Change comes from differences", "Society can't exist without collectively agreed upon rules," "Be likable and hide your 'flaws'"). Of course you'd associate the rejection of those traits with success if you've measured your self worth in units of Elon Musks.

You can be likeable, even with flaws and differences. You don't have to be an asshole about it. Be better.
TIL: The Barbary wars marked the beginning of Americas global military campaigns. American merchant ships were captured and by North African states and then the Americans went to war.

Also, what pre-superpower days looked like:

The US used to pay them annual tributes to leave the ships alone.. ".. by 1797, the United States had paid out $1.25 million or a fifth of the government's annual budget then in tribute.[12] These demands for tribute had imposed a heavy financial drain and by 1799 the U.S. was in arrears of $140,000 to Algiers and some $150,000 to Tripoli".
> volunteered as servers at his daughters wedding as a show of appreciation.

To me there's a disconnect between the two phrases. I don't think they were volunteering to humiliate themselves, but rather to show how close they were. Let's say hypothetically that Bill Gates had become really good pal with Jeff Bezos and that you went to an event that one of the two had organized and you saw the other serving the punch, would you say that he's being subservient?

Like others who have posted here, I don't think you have to choose to be unlikable to be successful. And I don't think being unlikable is the key to be successful.

The advice to be more unlikable is akin to the Galileo defense. "Galileo was persecuted for his correct beliefs. I'm being persecuted for my beliefs, therefore they must be correct." They believe that something is related when it is not. Because as Sagan later said, "But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."

I think the key to being successful is to be ok with not being liked.

The big difference with people like Galileo is that he was right. Jobs may have been an asshole, but he was right more often than wrong. Gates was an asshole, but he was often right as well. They were not concerned with being liked, they were concerned with being right. And not "being right" as in "winning the argument", but "being right" as in "coming to the correct conclusion".

You don't have to be a contrarian to be successful, but you can't be afraid to be either.

> Properly recycled plastic may in fact be the most environmentally friendly option ...

There is no environmentally friendly way to recycle plastics or glass because the require way more energy to recycle than they take to produce. Only aluminum requires more energy to extract (by electrolyzing bauxite) than to recycle so about 30-50% of aluminum sold in the US is recycled. The rest is virgin aluminum that has to be extracted to meet demand - the entire world would use only recycled aluminum if it could.
Yes, if you read it carefully, it says "several days". I think most people searching will see 24 hours, and then click away without analyzing so carefully.

Several days is still far off from 7-10 days.

The point is, I'd much rather see a link to my county's official Covid-19 testing information site, rather than an arbitrary outdated snippet pulled from a WebMD article. Google's "best guess" answer is often pretty bad.
These days Debian Stable is very comparable with Ubuntu LTS. They are aiming for a release at about every 2 years, which is the same cadence as Ubuntu LTS. They do have some different policies, such as using Firefox ESR and other things, but there are also the Backports repository and other niceties. And you don't get Snaps forced down your throat.

> and at that point even "testing" was too old of a kernel to support recent hardware

Today Debian testing has a 5.7 Kernel, which is the most recent one.

Debian is indeed a little "behind" in adopting certain modern technologies compared to other distros like Fedora, but most of the time I see this as a plus, because new tech is often buggy and take a long time to mature. I generally don't like to pay the price of being an early adopter.

> recent hardware

This is indeed an issue. The trick when you get new hardware is that you install Testing but you don't configure your repositories as "testing" you configure them as the name of the current testing distro: "bullseye" today. So if I keep updating my Debian Bullseye, once it gets branched I will be effectively out of testing, then Bulleye will get released and I will be on the stable repository.
