I can't say if you should do this or not but here's how I did it:

* Fly to London, rent a room / place

* Make an appointment to get a NI Number:

* Setup a limited company with accountants, e.g: https://www.crunch.co.uk/

* Open a personal and business bank account, e.g. with Revolut or TransferWise

With a combination of low salary and issuing dividends your personal tax liability will be something like 5% on £50,000 of income (not counting corporation tax which is currently 19%), if you have a spouse or civil partner it's even better...but watch out for tax payments on account:

In my opinion, the UK is a great place to do business in Europe if you're working remotely for clients all over the world and London is a great place to live too (if you don't mind the high housing prices with an income that can support it).

Just do it ASAP before Brexit, and apply to the EU Settlement Scheme: https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families

If you change your mind later, you can always close your company and move away but getting a visa and moving here after Brexit will probably be a bit more complex.

I've been looking for a high-end pair of bluetooth speakers, so this really peaks my interest.

I've been wanting the B&O Beolit, but they used to come with built-in charger, so you could just plug in directly into the wall.

But now they switched to USB-C charging, which means that you need to use an external charger unit. Not every USB charger will deliver enough power, so that's just a step back in user experience. The older models had a room for the cable, so what was the point of changing it?

Nothing was added in place of the internal charger and the price didn't drop. They just took away a feature and wrote "Now with USB-C!" on the box, as if they added something.

So this one having "universal built-in power supply" and a power cable in the box, is a really big plus for me!
You can do that with the data/charging cable that comes with Garmin watches. It exports the data on a USB-MSD. I don't recall whether it's a CSV or some other format but they make no effort to obscure it.

Yes, although now the Mac is as secure as any PC with UEFI Secure Boot (and no Intel ME), which isn’t necessarily the end of the world if you have a long firmware password (which protects the Recovery Mode secure boot utility) and login password (which protects FileVault). If you’re in a position where you could be compromised by a state actor or a hacker group (that can find a public flaw in Secure Boot that isn’t just turning it off), perhaps throw away your Mac, but everyone else should still be “okay”.

Part of me wonders if there could be a way to permanently disable DFU mode (preferably outside of epoxy in the upper left USB-C port). That would prevent someone from jailbreaking the T2, albeit you would no longer be able to replace the SSD or Touch ID sensor (not that you’d want to anyway if you were at risk).

I've only encountered a compiler bug once. During undergrad in a data structures course my Scheme code wasn't working correctly. Took a long time to convince the TA to even acknowledge the possibility of the problem not being my code. Felt such vindication at the time.
So, easy to set up and a measured latency of down to 30ms - both great things. The throughput is pretty respectable as well, at least in comparison to urban cable internet (which is, admittedly, a low bar).

5-10 minute connection times, that's a bit concerning. Due to a lack of coverage, or signal to noise issues?

It would still be nice to see some readings over time; how stable are these numbers?

> A passive stance is, by definition, not active support for anything

You are sitting at a bus stop and you see a man having a heart attack in front of you with nobody else around. If you call the authorities and send for an ambulance, you will save his life. If you don't, he will die.

Whether you just passively sit there and wait for the bus, or whether you take action to save the man's life, you are making a decision and that decision will have consequences.

There is no such thing as being apolitical. Not making a choice is making a choice.

This reminds me of a brilliant coder I worked with while in grad school. We were doing a lot of low-level kernel hacking for the SnowFlock project[0] although his knowledge and skills were (and I'm sure still are) significantly deeper than mine in this area. He had spent a significant amount of time on a particular bug and eventually started digging through the assembly code and found the cause was a compiler bug. Such a thing blew my mind at the time.

From the Wikipedia article: " ... his significant first meeting with a group of Wathaurong women, [occurred] several months after his escape [in 1803]. Buckley had taken a spear used to mark a grave for use as a walking stick. The women befriended him after recognising the spear as belonging to a relative who had recently died and invited him back to their camp. Believed to be the returned spirit of the former tribesman, he was joyfully welcomed and adopted by the group. ...
Buckley also recounted information about warfare among Aboriginal people. According to Buckley he was a central part of life among the Australian hunter-gatherers. He had often witnessed wars, raids, and blood-feuds. This information was uniquely important ... "

It's not just cost, it's also the latency. While it's apparent you know this, most commenters might not realize the game changing difference with Starlink.

Starlink latency can be as low as 15ms to the nearest POP. The minimum latency for any geostationary satellite to the nearest pop is 528ms RTT. That's speed of light, going 28k miles 4x, assuming you and the POP are on the equator directly below the satellite.

Ask HN: Is there such a thing as an embeddable integration engine?
Our business, like many others, is in an industry where our customers need us to integrate with other platforms that are very industry-specific.

The workflow is fairly standard. Based on an event occurring in our platform we need to make a call to an external API. Credentials are specific to the customer. And many times we need to pull data from the external API and provide a way to make custom mappings between our attributes and the customer's attributes in the external system.

There's lots of platforms that sort of do this (Zapier), but what I want is a platform or engine I can embed in ours that handles the generic idea of sourcing events from our system, making custom mappings/transforms, and connecting them to whatever integrations we build. It would need to be a very easy to use drag-and-drop UI for non-technical users. Essentially I want something like idea of a Zapier as a framework that handles the orchestration in a generic way and allows us to build whatever integrations we need.

I know there's BPMN systems and workflow systems, but they all seem to be tailored towards a specific business rather than a platform where multiple businesses would be operating with their own particular integrations and use cases.

I know this is a common, recurring problem in pretty much every industry, so the question is: does this exist? I'd really rather not build something if it's already available.

The literature seems to agree with you on the effect of boiling vs steaming.[1] But that paper is from 2009, and the references are not much older. Older people's cooking habits were formed before this was well known, so I'm not so sure that "most people steam their veggies". I don't even own the equipment for steaming, and I had no idea about the benefits.

I don't think the crypto crowd really get what sovereignty enables governments to do.
Crypto monies presents an threat to central banks. I wouldn't say an existential level of threat. But probably large enough for the established players to be a little less than civilized in their response. Crytpo may get crushed by tax law, or other regulations that the people in the real world are accountable to. Or more likely bankers knowing how to make a buck, will Embrace, Extend, Extinguish the currencies in their current form and all the feel good anarchist vibes of crypto will be replaced by another system that has built in inequality.
I appreciate this view. The story our culture tells us of reward being proportional to sacrifice is well entrenched and of course a complete fantasy.
The issue is that this post sweeps up both "evil capitalists" and "laws that prevent sex trafficking and money laundering, financing terrorism, and generally bad things" right into the same bucket.

I chuckled out loud that the article had both: "right-wing radicalization which has resulted in widespread political violence [and] distribution of misinformation" as something evil that companies do, right along with "control of platforms which allows them to censor unfavorable currents in the culture at large". Sorry, but pick one - either you get very strong free speech and have to deal with things you don't like, or you get to play the censor and enter that minefield which nobody will ever navigate successfully.

Oh, and on "an enormous carbon footprint", have you looked at bitcoin mining lately? Not a good place to throw stones from given the horrendous power usage of mining rigs.

It's easy to denounce those evil people over there and much harder to propose real and actual change of the system. You want to get rid of KYC laws - are you OK with financing sex traffickers then? You want there to be no regulation on money - are you OK funding terrorists?

WaFlash – A WebAssembly AS2/AS3 Flash Compatible Player
That works but doesn’t solve the problem mentioned by the other comment. We also have to support a matrix of Python runtimes and dependencies in all of our machines. We can’t pre-bake the environments. It’s a very unique problem for HPC I guess. We don’t use pip, have a look in the Rez package manager if you haven’t yet for an idea of the problem.

For our webservices it is much less of a problem as we can isolate the runtime from software installed in machines or third party software dependencies that we integrate with (think a blender plugin, blender comes with its own versions of dependencies)
I have a great deal of sympathy with this. There's so many beautiful low cost of living/low cost of real estate locations in the US and Canadian west, but the best locations are also places where you're looking at no Internet, off-grid solar/wind power, etc.

Depending on where you are looking, and what your budget is, and your level of motivation you might look into seeing how difficult it would be to build your own point to point link back to a place where you can get 'real' internet.

I also want symmetric gigabit but in a very rural location I might be totally satisfied with 40 Mbps down x 15 Mbps up, if it was sufficiently reliable and good quality (overall uptime in a year, latency, jitter, etc).

There is a great deal that can be done with sets of equipment like a 90cm high performance dual polarity shielded dish (ALG or Jirous or similar), ubnt AF5XHD radios, etc. Perhaps for less than $10k all-in you might be able to build your own link to reach the nearest WISP or terrestrial connectivity. Entirely depending on how remote you are and terrain.

Not necessarily, I would say it's just an outdated concept, since an expectation of privacy has been corrupted by marketing departments everywhere.

It _used_ to be the case that paying for something meant there was an expectation of privacy, but as you so eloquently put it, "the ignorant masses, are selling ourselves willingly", and these companies have realized that they can sell a product _and_ their users' info as a bonus.

I've built deliverables using IRC as the backend: it's distributable, you can make immutable logs for specific channels (in the IRC sense and the logging sense), it has access control baked in, it allows TLS (and can force TLS), and it's nominally "eventually consistent", etc.

Famously, Blizzard used IRC for the chat in Diablo II, and more recently, Twitch uses IRC as the backend for their chat services (or did. can't imagine why they'd change it now).

I reckon if you ignore everything released since the middle of 1996, you could probably build nearly every service that's worthwhile using just the RFCs up to and including may of 1996. My actual theory is you only need to 1993 at most, but since lots of folks here use http (in theory) it's probably better to throw a bone.

> But in public interactions (public space or open groups) the concept of privacy is much more problematic.

I don't see what's so problematic. If someone is in public, they are exposed and obviously don't have any privacy. Same logic applies to data people publish on the internet. People can attempt to create some privacy for themselves in these contexts but it's not really a violation or invasion if some stranger shows up and witnesses things they weren't supposed to.

It's completely different from someone's house or computer. These are our spaces and we have complete control over them. So someone installing sensors such as microphones and cameras inside our own homes is a massive violation of our rights. Everybody understands this. It's offensive when the state does it even when warranted. So it is also not acceptable for mere corporations to turn on our microphones in order to listen to keywords or some other surveillance capitalism bullshit.
