It's not secretive, it's just that most people are not very interested in the exact type of Wi-Fi chipset used.

You can see the chipset name (BCM43430) on dmesg:

It's used as a treatment for drug overdoses ("excited delerium") which appears to be why it was used here. Of course it's a catch-all term, there's no way to tell offhand just what street drugs someone is on. There has to be a reason it took half a dozen people to hold him down.

Also, there's no mention in this article of police directing the paramedics to do anything. Can you point me to what gave you that idea?
Ask HN: I was invited to speak at a computer museum. What should I tell them?
A nearby computer museum is celebrating their 25th anniversary next month. Several people, myself included, have been invited to give ceremonial addresses and lead a discussion on the general theme: "What can a computer museum do to help educate the general public?"

I have some ideas for my address already, but I'm looking for more input. What would you guys talk about if you were given the opportunity to speak to an audience of museum staff, educators and policymakers?
I don't love the government-owns-your-body aspect to this.
32 gb is a bit weird. But when people write mb, it should be read as "millibit", which is terribly small.

Better to put them on home roofs, and arrange for them to be owned by the homeowners, designed so that the occupants are (literally) empowered when the grid is mismanaged, as in California.

On highway medians control is more centralized, and they would require more maintenance and cleaning, which would be more disruptive in that location.

Interesting. An estimate that infections were multiple orders of magnitude higher than detected in mid-March is higher than I'd heard before, although I suppose it's probably implied by the "basically everyone in New York caught it" theory.
Meh, when major industry things fail, and e.g. a refinery just breaks and releases all of the oil and other stuff into the next best river, it will affect potentially millions of people's health if it's located right.

That's why we're trying to make extra extra sure that it doesn't happen and hire experts, and learn from mistakes (and there were plenty, and I'm sure there will be more).

"If this fails it's just too horrible, we mustn't attempt it" doesn't sound like the most helpful attitude when dealing with large projects that have gigantic benefits but can also cause gigantic issues when they explode.
A lot of this stuff is about feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, or alienation. I think it's harmful to think of this as part of being a "founder". It's hard out there right now.

Having contact with customers who pay you for something they find worthwhile, rather than just pitching VCs for money to buld your, can reduce these feelings of floating and inadequacy, and give you some human contact.
I agree that this is something that should never happen at all, but you're hyperbolizing the parent's statement. They didn't say there are only 8 cases in the US, they said it's uncommon.

Taking Minneapolis as an average (parent believes they are worse than average), it happens to .00063% of the population there per year or 1890 Americans per year. I'm having trouble finding the arrest rate in Minneapolis, which would help get to a more accurate estimate.

Unclean hands doctrine. You can't sue someone when the complaint at issue is you doing something wrong. You'd have to find someone that didn't infringe on anything, and even then you'd have to fight an uphill battle. In the absence of a contract saying the data can never be shared, it's unclear what the cause of action would even be.

You're not very familiar with other religions, then. I was raised in a religious environment that absolutely forbade people to see members of the opposite sex naked except in very specific scenarios (ie married couples, doctors treating patients, and that's about it).

This was one of the stated reasons why we couldn't watch TV or movies that weren't strictly vetted first.
I think it’s unlikely you see any fossil generation in the mix in 10 years except in the most remote of locations (with no solar or wind potential).

Wind and solar are already around 2 cents/kWh utility scale, and batteries are catching up. No fossil or nuclear generation can compete with that.
Especially if you view the right metric.

https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy

The reason why nuclear is safe and a great option is energy density. You cannot really beat that with fossil fuels or renewables. We have to make nuclear safe in the sense that not even an earthquake can trigger an accident like Fukushima but we already made nuclear the safest source of energy based on the number of deaths per twh produced.
Is it declarative or imperative? I wouldn't really want to go back to doing GUIs imperatively.
When I used Emacs, Eshell was perhaps my favorite feature. I loved how modern it felt in many ways; why shouldn’t you be able to just `cd` into a remote location (TRAMP+SSH under the hood), or invoke Elisp commands like Magit straight from the shell. It could however be quite slow, and choked on some common escape codes (e.g. the progress bars emitted by the modern Ubuntu `apt` command.)

Regarding curses, I found that there was two solutions. The first is to automatically spawn curses apps in a proper terminal emulator, you just have to setup the `visual-commands` variable properly. The second alternative is to replace curses apps with Emacs apps, e.g. htop to helm-top. Personally, I ended up going the second route after a while, as I realized that there are actually very few curses apps that are important to me, and that Emacs apps are better integrated if you use Emacs for everything else.

If you rely on a lot of curses apps, a “real” terminal like emacs-libvterm may however suit you better. Renders curses apps and emojis as well as any other terminal I’ve used. It’s also much faster than ansi-term and friends at rendering.

likewise. that why you argue the argument, not the authority behind for a healthy discussion on anonymous forums.

except I provided an argument for the benefit to the individual, while the whole of your post hinges on appeal to (un)authority

another case in point: all the pc stores exclusives. imagine having to have to install 5 different stores for accessing this or that publisher games on a phone. how can you argue that is pro-customer?

we already know that it is what is going to happen, because it has already happened. and it was not for the better; there was no reduction of prices (if anything, aaa went from 49$ to 69$) and a constant fight for user attention by undercutting each other stores with exclusives. so the price cut reduction did not materialize, and we have to fight against a tide of software spying each other on top of it.

> Coercive bundling should warrant anti-trust scrutiny

fair enough, but it still doesn't mean it has to be incorporated in law, where it gonna stay for a long time and likely used as hammer in all kind of unexpected ways.

or the consumers are happy with the locked platform. those who aren't, after all, can already sideload to their android. this seems more of a case of a minority wanting a cake and eat it too, not a real issue with predatory behavior.
Thank you, that's indeed what I meant.

The other, related issue is that reimplementing pieces of the shell DSL duplicates what can be done in the parent language.

Taking conditional return value as an example: "ls /nofile || true;"

In this case I don't really want to be given the option to use bash syntax for this. That would encourage the usage of shell idioms for "tricks" like control flow, which are another annoying part of the shell (I can never remember them). I would much prefer if there was a nice way to do that kind of things idiomatically in the parent language, and no other choice. E.g. to ignore the return value I would find it much nicer to be forced to do sth like this instead:

let _ = ls('nofile');
> First of all, it's a big jump from "the article only mentions 8 cases across the US" to "there were only 8 cases across the US".

The parent does not make that jump, it merely cites 8 cases over 3 years in one city and asks if there isn't more evidence. And that does not even allege police directing paramedics to do things (as claimed in another thread here), just people discussing the situation with each other.
No, remember that you have a local server running native code. The server can handle writing the file to any path you want.
Alternatively, dust build up on the solar panels can prevent production of both.
Absolutely true. However, there is not much assuming being done. The absolutely stark, clear, and unassailable fact that many police in the US are violent, racist thugs has been repeatedly shoved into my face over the last few months. Not all of them are, by any means. But even the good cops are part of a system that enables and rewards racist, thuggish behavior.
Wrap those strings with quotes so it can be more “readable”.
> most Americans have never been to a place where there is low crime and low police brutality and thus literally cannot even imagine it.

nit: They haven't been to a place where there is low crime, low police brutality, and high population density. To most observers, most of the US is low crime and low police brutality. From this perspective, violent police are a city problem where things are so out of control that the police have no choice but to act that way.

(I don't why this is getting downvoted. I'm certainly not condoning the state of affairs, just trying to elaborate on the perspective that keeps supporting the uniformed criminals)
I also do this on my mobile apps given how difficult it's to work with Android layouts.
To suggest it isn't useful suggests it doesn't have massive amounts of explanatory power (which it does)
Thank you for sharing that story.
Baby.
It appears that you're not interested in the point I was trying to make, but just want to fight with somebody about your political convictions. I'm not that somebody, I don't care about your domestic problems.

I care about the behavior you're showing though, because that unfortunately isn't contained to the US. "The other side are all monsters" is common, that's why it's a problem. But you must get over "... but they really are monsters" to be able to see the problem, I'm afraid.

Well, to be clear if you accidentally downloaded a main.c file with a virus and then accidentally copied someone’s advice to compile an app using “cpp main.c” while being accidentally in your Downloads folder, you will also accidentally end up with a virus on your computer.

This article is too long for what it is trying to say. Although I will go the author a kudos for being able to write so well about nothing - it took me to scroll about a third of the article to realise that what they were saying was blatantly obvious.

PS: the only reason I clicked on it was because I thought python by default would import files with some “magic” names in the current directory.
I saw your clarification and agree that symmetricality is a better distinction. I agree with your analysis of the future geopolitical situation, China is making moves into Africa via sovereign debt and infrastructure, the US and EU will probably move to contain this at some point. And that’s one of many places this game is happening. I’ll gladly take another prolonged Cold War type situation over bombs.
Can't this concern be easily alleviated by the backend requiring credentials, and sending them along from the frontend? Getting around this as an attacker means already possessing enough rights to not need sniffing the traffic to the backend.
Or is there more required?

> Police stopped Elijah McClain on the street in suburban Denver last year after deeming the young Black man suspicious. He was thrown into a chokehold, threatened with a dog and stun gun, then subjected to another law enforcement tool before he died: a drug called ketamine.

From the very beginning this story makes no sense. Suspicious is not a crime.

An earlier story makes things seem even worse:

> While McClain was making his trip to the store, someone had called 911 to report a suspicious person. Referring to McClain, the caller described him wearing a mask said he looked "sketchy" but added that "he might be a good person or a bad person." When asked, the caller told the operator that there were no weapons and that no one was in danger. The operator advised him that officers were on their way to check it out.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/happened-elijah-mcclain-protests-b...

Wearing a ski mask in public during the summer, although odd, is not a crime, either.
With Perl we fixed that security risk earlier (3 years ago) and better. The path of the script is never added to the global script path anymore. This fixed all these attacks automatically. If the script was in /tmp, ~/Downloads or just ~/.

Stealing culturally significant items from the public like this case is more similar to graft or corruption, or breach of fiduciary duty. White collar crime. Far from victimless, it hurts everyone.

Show HN: How we adapted our classrooms for videoconferencing
Yep. It is quite unbelievable how we use a 1 million old technology (burning stuff) and try to argue that the new way of producing energy (which is already much safer if you check number of deaths per twh) is somehow dangerous and bad. In 50 years of nuclear energy we already made is super safe. Now we can make it safe for being used in location which have pretty serious earthquakes or as a resource for flying (even for spaceships some day).
It makes more sense in the context of a larger hypothetical infrastructure. If BitTorrent clients also had the option to publish their open port as a Tor hidden service, then they could register with a tracker that's also a hidden service, entirely over Tor; and then use the tracker to discover the Tor hidden-service addresses of other BitTorrent clients to connect to.

You could also run the BitTorrent Kademlia DHT on top of Tor, without any explicit tracker needed; just with Tor hidden-service BitTorrent client nodes publishing the hidden-service addresses of other client nodes to the DHT ring.

(I often wish that the Tor overlay network was IPv6-based; then "hidden-service addresses" could just be IPv6 addresses in a particular IPv6 public subnet, reserved to represent the Tor overlay network. Then client software wouldn't need to know anything about Tor in order to take advantage; making a client "only operate over Tor" would just be a matter of giving the client an IPv6 subnet mask to restrict what it was willing to connect to; or putting it in a network namespace that was so-restricted.)

Every time an application didn't say it was using WxWidgets and I download it by accident, it still goes directly to /dev/null.

WxWidgets is no better than the other non-native GUI toolkits. It just looks, feels and acts like crap all the same. Great for development, bad for everything else.
That's a nice change of subject - again.

What I showed was a google search of images. You have failed to show any as belonging to a different subject than the search requested. The reason for that is that the searches accuractly showed pictures of police beating people in Europe.

> there's zero systemic abuse of justice of the likes that we see in the American news circles, no matter how you wish that the rest of the world is as bad as they are, it is not.

Why do you pretend I engaged confirmation bias, when you consistently write statements of that nature? You have literally created a strawman of what you beleive to be inside my head. No matter how much you believe that you are smarter than everyone around you, all you have written is a textbook, stereotypical set of logical fallacies.
If porn needs to be filtered then it needs to be filtered regardless of attitudes towards of depictions of violence, and if it doesn't, it doesn't. We shouldn't choose as a baseline depictions of violence.

Many people say they are negatively affected by porn addiction (whether consumers, or partners of consumers, or parents, or people who feel objectified, even some people in the industry), and they feel strongly about it. Just because sex is a good part of human nature doesn't invalidate that in their eyes. In fact, it is precisely because some consider sex to be good and precious that they want to be much more careful about viewing it or depicting it, and I agree with that.

The number of societies that don't want censored sexuality is near zero. It is not just "some societies". And there are plenty of societies that desire that more than western ones.
direnv does allow more than just environment variables, you can run arbitrary commands. Personally I wouldn't run potentially expensive commands like building the project, but if that's really what's best for your workflow, it can be done.

If there is no .envrc in the directory it will look for one in the parent directory, but it won't activate more than one.

Also one thing it does that your hand-rolled version does not is that it remembers what the environment variables were before and restores them to that state when you exit the directory.
Let's combine two facts - virtually no consumer desktop, laptop, phone or tablet ships with ECC memory, yet somehow, nearly everyone is successfully using their computing devices for both pleasure and work, including backups. Yes, failures happen, but they are so incredibly rare that recommending people at home to buy ECC ram is in the same league as recommending getting a double PSU or a UPS for home use to prevent data loss in my mind. Technically correct, but in practice you're reducing the chances of losing your data from 0.0001% to 0.0001% or something equally negligible. There are actual, real, impact steps that anyone can take to improve their data safety - ECC memory is not one of them.
That’s what I did before my iPhone. Most apps that work with self-hosted services kinda suck. The AOSP mail and calendar apps haven’t been refreshed in years since Google changed the default to Gmail and Google Calendar. On iOS I get a nice email client and calendar that is integrated complete with on device AI that finds events in my inbox and adds them to the calendar so I don’t forget.

There’s a bunch of neat little things like that you get on Android if you use Google, but you can get on iOS with any server backend.

I hope Apple opens up a bit because there really needs to be serious competition in this space.

Sure, police can be good or bad, sometimes make mistakes, etc... But POLICING, as it is practiced in this country, is a horrifying disaster.

Exactly! Your business can be a threat to your emotional wellbeing, but your emotions are definitely a threat to your business as well. If you're alone then there's nobody to stop you from following your whims. It's very alluring to do what you _want_ rather than what you _should_. A team has a sort of inertia in that there's pressure to not let the others down, and changing course requires that more than one person wants to do that.

I think solo founders (including myself) should ask themselves: why are you solo? If you (like me) want co-founders but can't find any, maybe your idea isn't so great. If you prefer to be alone then scouting customers may not be your strength.
