As other have noted, this article omits a number of relevant facts to spark a narrative:

> Wisconsin, faced intense scrutiny over their response to armed white men and militia groups gathered in the city amid demonstrations by Black Lives Matter activists and others over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black father of three who was left paralyzed after being shot in the back.

Video confirms Jacob Blake was ignoring the instructions of the police and moved to his vehicle (keep in mind that in the US firearm ownership is common).

> On Wednesday, Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old who appeared to consider himself a militia member and had posted “blue lives matter” content, was arrested on suspicion of murder after the fatal shooting of two protesters.

Video and eyewitness testimony confirm this man was being chased by a group of people.

Yeah, the crazy thing is that this issue isn't one issue but bunch issues and gets worse over time. Once something restricts downloads, you wind-up in a weird position where things stop working 'cause you can't update them and you can't download any fixes for the same reason.

Removing auto-update in the Play Store is another step that apparently helps.

My guess is that Settings and Google Drive are each accessing a key in something akin to the registry in Android. The problem is there seems no guide to this registry-equivalent thing. Otherwise a program to fix these configuration problems could be side-loaded.

I recently bought an Onyx Boox Android tablet with eInk screen for $340. It comes with a Wacom stylus included which feels kinda cheap (it's plastic) but works better than any other stylus I've owned before (and it has a proper eraser on back which reMarkable charges extra for).

I think the main draw for the Onyx over a reMarkable is that you get access to full fat Android and all the apps in the Google Play store. An iPad still provides more functionality since it can watch videos and take pictures (my tablet has no webcam, speakers, etc.), but for reading (books, web, HN, Reddit, webcomics, etc.) the eInk screen is just so much nicer.

I also run the Android version of Microsoft Office and use it with a Bluetooth keyboard as a typewriter.
The boogaloo crowd has made it clear that killing certain people is the goal - the intent is to antagonize and threaten murder in order to escalate until they feel they have arrived at a situation where they can legally kill the enemy. A protest/riot is an ideal place for this tactic. You may criticize the crowd for "falling" for it, but it's unrealistic to be so one-sided about it.
Interesting rabbit hole. I bought an Engel dual 120V/12V powered fridge. Runs off 120VAC and 12-24VDC. You can plug it into both and it switches automatically to 12VDC if the 120VAC drops out.

Things I've noticed. Even high efficiency residential fridges aren't that efficient. Some off grid ones use three times less power. And lot of the modern fridges have inverters to drive the compressor. Which means would not that big a stretch to add a 12/24V input like my portable fridge.

I mention this because not all household loads are the same. You really don't want your fridge to stop working. You probably can manage if you can't run you whole house air conditioner full tilt.

Having appliances that can run off back up and ones that can adjust their load probably would help.

Another random opinion is a lot of house wiring could be replaced with Power of Ethernet. There is a new automotive standard that provides up to 100W. A house where lights and light loads were run off POE could be trivially backed up by a battery.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21992958

changed my mind though. Nuclear power in France is heavily subsidized and it doesn’t make much economic sense. I mean, the radioactive emission from coal plants is higher than from nuclear powerplants - but the overall costs are too high.

As a JS dev - the strength of a vertically integrated stack is high. I have a collaborative model editor which can run plugins on the model, and these plugins can be configured to run on the client or the server depending on what they do and what kind of requests they need.

This exact same language fuels my API and my client. It means I can share packages everywhere, and a problem solved once & put in a library is solved for the team

So, that said - I would also push back against introducing a new language into a stack which everyone shares knowledge of. What benefits did you propose that override such a thing? Or, conversely, why do the benefits I described above not apply to that team?
This is the answer, I think.

Have there been any that solve this problem?
Oh yeah, this took me several missed calls until I figured it out. I wonder how that UI element emerged.
From the article:

This work is an attempt to capture the “whole system costs” of an individual power plant. This could include the costs of enhancing the electricity network to connect a new power station, balancing supply and demand in real time, and providing backup power during periods of low wind or sun.

From the comment I'm replying to:

I wish proponents renewables were honest enough to not withhold these problems

As the article makes clear, nobody is hiding from the fact that there are costs associated with providing backup power during periods of low wind or sun.

The other problems in the comment are not problems with renewables per se (aside from one problem with the straw man "100% renewables"), but problems with German government policy.
Congrats on the launch!

Are there plans to have this cross-platform?
OK so you're just spit-balling and have no actual reason to think this?
If I send something via DHL to my data center, I have to add the data centers PO Box to the delivery address because DHL hands it off to USPS. USPS won't deliver it to the address for who knows what reason. Someone at the data center has to drive into town and pick it up at the PO Box.

Sorting this out the first time was me spending hours on the phone calling between DHL and USPS to find out where the package was and what was happening.

Even more inane is that USPS uses a ~20 digit number for tracking packages. Imagine reading that on the phone to a customer support person. I can't believe nobody thought to use base-32 encoding [0].

It's not a majority, if you look at the traffic patterns for a medium sized ISP, the vast bulk of the evening peak traffic these days is what I would call "legit" non porn video. For residential singlehomed customers it's a huge amount of youtube/google AS traffic and Netflix traffic. And a lot of other stuff like people downloading 200GB Xbox one games, Steam games, etc.

To the point that a very small ISP that is singlehomed to a Cogent or HE type transit provider, can halve its monthly IP transit bill by joining an IX such as the NWAX and establishing settlement-free peering BGP sessions with just google and netflix.

it's hard to make the claim that the private development of space doesn't inspire people in the same way as the old national projects did. my heart swells watching a livestream of a satellite being delivered into orbit. but "memelord space magnate delivers global internet access" doesn't give the endeavor the gravity it deserves.

space is the last realm of mystery. to me, a glance toward the sky and the stars has always been the fastest way to feel the presence of God. it won't lose that for me, even if the daytime sky fills up with blinkenlights. but it might not provide that for anyone else, anymore, if it stays—forgive me—on this trajectory.

>All that seems targeted, not a generic malware checking for Yubikeys connected to random systems.

Well that's because it's 2 factor, not because you're using a hardware token. Using TOTP would offer similar protections against "generic" malware that's scanning credentials to use later.

>It also doesn't seem "simple" or "practical".

Is it? It doesn't seem too hard to hook into browser (or whatever other program like gpg or ssh-agent) so you can listen for authentication requests, and disable the wifi using the platform api.

>Is your argument that the sensor is useless because you can bypass it like that, or is your argument that it's not absolutely foolproof? If the former, I disagree, if the latter, then I can agree.

The sensor adds marginal amount of security and provides a false sense of security. Most the increased complexity (compared to "generic" malware) involved in such a hypothetical attack comes from the 2 factor aspect, not from having a hardware token or having a physical button on the token.
I'm confused what you mean by this. It seems pretty consistent to me.

> There isn't an "address bar" for iframes

Maybe there should be? If it's important to know what site you're looking at in a top level page, the same thing should apply to an embedded one.

Often when I learn about web security, it seems like the user agent abdicates responsibility to be an agent for the user.

Probably a case where it's more obvious in hindsight why this is important, but it could still be retrofitted. Maybe there's a better way, but for example, a browser could make the address bar a breadcrumb widget using multiple URLs to depict the iframe nesting.
> That doesn’t change the fact that neither wind nor solar can produce electricity on demand.

Neither can nuclear power. Nuclear power has significant and often unpredictable down-times making the power source not as reliable as one might think. In Sweden the availability for nuclear power is on average something like 85%. Availability depends on the age of the nuclear power plant, what the staff situation is and how tight the regulations are. Can't run the plant if most of the staff is home sick and tighter regulations means more downtime for inspections.

The availability for wind power in the North Sea is about 50%. Admittedly, lower than 85% but you can make up for it by building many wind farms.

> Currently, we’re paying 31 Euro cents in Germany per kWh while French customers whose grid has a large share of nuclear pay just 17 Euro cents per kWh on average.

That is an argument for tighter integration of electricity grids between countries. But also 31 - 17 = 14 cents/kWh. The cost of electricity isn't a problem for most households (in my household the static fee is the biggest expense even during the winter months).
That brings up a point. Current pricing models are based on old technology where you have coal fired plants that can't turn down. And meters that can't do time of use metering. Power is cheaper at night because you can't just up and shutdown a coal fired plant. Residential rates are flat

I really think a lot of night time load is just industrial customers chasing price. Change the price structure and they'll immediately adjust their time of use to match. Certainly smarter appliances could also chase low rates like industrial users.

It is not from anything that I have installed. It is obviously from the PC vendor (HP, Dell), Microsoft Windows and Edge, anti-virus software, and maybe some others that I am not aware of. I have tried to turn off everything I can. It is annoying to have click off every option individually as there is no select all, and then click a back button and have everything turned on again by default and to have to turn everything off again individually.

After a while, certain notifications get turned on again without me having turned them on and without my permission.

This isn't what happened. Psyonix was perfectly happy with it and continued to expand and engage the wider PC gaming and modding community. Then Epic bought them for Rocket League's userbase and things reversed after the period of false assurances that nothing would change.

The double standard for nuclear worries me.

Of all the ideas on nuclear waste disposal including launching on rocket into the sun, this is the most dangerous[1].

Firstly If you are replacing Coal and other methods of energy generation with Uranium the amount of waste is not small anymore ( it already is not small in any sense).

Cooling down the temperature is not the only problem. Neptunium-237 has half life of 2Million years!, plutonium 239 of more than 24,000 years, these materials will be radioactive for a longer time than we as species have been on this planet.
Grinding them fine and spreading them everywhere may very well kill all life on this planet for ten of millions of years, it may never come back.

Coal is bad, nobody is saying it is better than nuclear, but replacing coal with nuclear is opening a whole new can of worms, we are not equipped to handle, there are plenty of other safer alternatives .

Trying to help my intern find entry level role
I have an amazing intern that I wanted to move into a bigger role. But I lost the budget. I'd love to help her find her next position. Does anyone have headcount or leads for an entry level new grad position?

For us, she has done tasks in technical documentation, community, tutorials, syllabus/curriculum design, along with light translation work, localization and internationalization. The materials focus on cloud data, decentralization, and distributed systems. She is so fabulous and I wish I had the headcount to keep her.

About my intern: She just graduated with a Masters degree in Education from SUNY Buffalo this year. Her focus was on teaching English and Educational Technology. She has a valid F1 work permit and is cleared to work until 2021. After that she would need a job with H1-B visa. She is a Chinese national, living in the US (east coast time zone but flexible). She has a work permit, and everyone here just loves her and wishes she could stay.
Not to mention they could’ve probably just updated their old go runtime...
