Show HN: We built an app to enable contactless dining for post-lockdown world
I didn't say USB3 doesn't cause this interference. I was saying I don't recall this being a uniquely USB3 problem (unfortunately all I have is my memory to go on here that we had desense issues with USB+2.4Ghz when I worked on the Palm Pre & Jawbone Jambox).

Given the report is 8 years old, I find it hard to believe this isn't an active thing that's designed around. Hell, you can buy USB3 WiFi dongles that do 2.4 Ghz. If this were a critical flaw that's unsolvable such a device wouldn't be possible to build. Even Table 4-2 indicates different mouse models have different performance characteristics, indicating not all 2.4Ghz devices are similarly sensitive to the problem.
I think the "restart" goes back to trusted reviewers/companies offering reviews as their business. E.g. Consumer Reports, Wirecutter, etc.

Then it's entirely how much you trust the reviewers, and whether you agree with their matrics/tastes.
That's my main concern. Duckduckgo is used more than Bing in many countries and Microsoft might just cancel their access some day.

Alright so you looked at Q1, what did you find?
Way back when, I thought I remembered that usb3 or thunderbolt was going to be an optical interface, but I guess that was too tough in practice. Would have been nice though to avoid EM interference issues.
While it doesn't offer what Alexa does, I'd like to point out that Mycroft would be easy to add to this project. I haven't really worked with it, but I did want to point it out for people who are coming into the comments looking for an actual open source Alexa competitor.
They did the dry electrode thing. That makes manufacturing cheaper but nothing more.
Shell 1-liner is a pragmatic approach, but for a submission with "in Rust" in the title I hoped it would be something fancier.

For example, it's possible to use ffmpeg's C API to do the transcoding in process:

Not only that, but it's also only the open-source parts of VSCode. Notably, you don't get access to the same extensions marketplace. Code-server does link to many open-source extensions, but certain things (e.g. Intellisense) aren't available.
This is probably the lowest quality submission I've seen on HN for a long time.

Hi!

It's not all that black/white. I'm also on a similar journey to David (volunteer for Mozilla since I was 16, I'm 37 now), with a lot of passion for the project and invested in some large projects there.

AMA, and don't let other people's journeys decide on yours.
Amen. At the end of the day, a tool is used for what it can accomplish—whether it was a goal, or not.
April to July seems like some serious cherry-picking. I suspect that if it included the period from January to March, the numbers would be sharply negative. Then if they included August to October, it'd probably be pretty flat on the year.

I think America should return to the 90% top marginal tax rate it had for much the 1900s, and the 90% estate tax too, so children aren't born into a fully-loaded Monopoly board.

Agree with me or not, I think it's fair to say we should base our next steps on, you know, facts.
It's a better option because the strengthening of India and the transformation of India into a developed country is a more important long term national security and prosperity interest than american hegemony in any particular industry

You are assuming that the construction of the system has nothing to do with human nature in the first place. I think there are a lot of godawful perverse incentives embedded in our current system, and I suspect we could come up with a much better system if we started over from scratch, but I am extremely skeptical that an ideal system would be any less dependent on competition. And in the current context, the burden is on those who say we should redesign the system to prove that their hypothetical ideal system will perform better in practice than the one that turns out all of these CRISPR-related discoveries at a furious pace.
You can route ALB to Lambda now without APIG. Much cheaper too as you're no longer paying per request.

> This isn't how copyright works though. It's neither necessary or sufficient. If you copy an API but change the words using a thesaurus you are still copying it so it would still be infringement. If by happenstance you come up with the same wording in your API, then that would not be copyright infringement because you didn't copy anything.

That also isn't how copyright works.

You're essentially asserting copyright over the semantics of an API.

The semantics of an API may (although I would argue otherwise) be protected, but if they are it would have to be either as a design patent, or as trade dress, not as copyright.

That said, even if the un-synonymized API is protected by copyright (and I would generally argue otherwise), reimplementing it must be seen as fair use, all the more so an API with renamed functions.

For a more recent example: Amazon's DocumentDB reimplements the MongoDB API. This should be allowed, even though we could wish Amazon had acted otherwise.

Here is the crux of the matter: unless there is some sort of no-man's-land between the various intellectual property regimes for software, no interoperability will be allowed except that which a vendor explicitly opts into. If copyrights, trademarks, and patents overlap sufficiently, even clean-room reimplementations will be forbidden.

We can argue about which aspects of software should be protected, for how long, and by what means, but at the end of the day there must be an unprotectable area of some kind, or we're all going to be doomed to either working entirely within vendors' vertically integrated stacks, or else implementing NSidedWheelAPIFactoryFactory() all the way down to bare metal for the foreseeable future.

>don’t represent their interests

Can you put a finer point on what you mean by "their interests"? Is this relegated to just economic interests?

If it extends beyond economics, I see no reason why those two statements can't coexist. For example, I can vote against my own economic interest if I vote for higher taxes that I don't directly benefit from on the grounds that I want to support a more equitable society. Or I can vote against government run healthcare that I may also benefit from if I don't think that is the role of government. Both can be examples of voting against my economic interests to reflect my moral interests.
You managed to toss out more strawmen while not addressing the content of what you're replying to.

I'm curious what you ever made, if anything, of the looks you would get for drinking ice water. I know it is considered very unhealthy with a strong taboo there (at least, my data is from China, not sure if applies to other asian countries). I once asked a Chinese friend would they rather their hypothetical child habitually drink ice water or smoke cigarettes, and she knows the health risks of cigarettes, and she was genuinely on the fence and torn.
The thing I always want from AWS tutorials which I can never find is guidance that doesn't involve using their web console.

I have a weird hang-up about configuring ops stuff through web interfaces. I will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid them - I want to get to the point where my deployment is controlled entirely from scripts in source control as quickly as possible, because that I can trust - I know that web interfaces will change in the future.

But unfortunately this means that most tutorials leave me frustrated. At this point I think this is more of a personal failure - I need to get over this hangup so I can actually follow the documentation that exists out there and learn to use the tools!
Well, it flips front-to-back. But this side of the mirror, we can't physically do that, so it's not in our brain's list of expected possibilities. We can, however, rotate ourselves 180 degrees. And because we're bilaterally symmetrical, our brain finds it easy to interpret the front-to-back flip as a 180 degree rotation. But that leaves left-to-right weird, because what happened wasn't actually a 180 degree rotation.
Hi everyone, lead maintainer of Kyrix. Happy to take questions :)
Stainless steel frying pans have their place, so I'm not sure why you're saying they "don't compare." Sure, they "don't compare" for a non-stick scrambled egg, but there are more things that get made in the kitchen.

For me personally, my most-used pans in order are my 12" cast iron, my 10" cast iron, my 12" All-clad stainless steel, my 6" cast iron, and my 6" non-stick is last, mostly for eggs.

Stainless is excellent for anything like a pasta sauce where you're starting with sautéing onions and such.
This is a great insight, our users are mostly american and they are pretty receptive to cheesy lines. I personally smile even though I know it's automated, just appreciate the creativity i guess?

I think it's way more complicated than that. First you have to make a distinction between public and private persons. And then there is also the distinction between maliciously defaming someone, and passing on things you heard in good faith.

If you heard that your neighbor Bob is a creepy pedo, then warning other people is frankly natural. If you dislike Bob and make up a rumor about him that should be illegal.

For powerful public persons the balance is different. The benefits of being able to freely discuss them starts outweighing the harm they suffer from false allegations.

That's my current thinking anyway.

For a case argued in October, a quick decision for a 9-0 case (or I guess 8-0 in the current court) that involves settling a circuit split or something else that's just simple textual analysis would come out in late November or December.

This is probably going to be complicated. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 8-0 outcome, but there's likely to be a concurring opinion or two, which will make the decision take longer. My expectation is that the opinion will come out in the January-March timeframe.

By way of comparison, Bilski v Kappos (the first big patent case in recent years) was a 9-0 case argued in November whose opinions only came out in the end-of-year opinion blitz.

I had a grapefruit-juice phase (those only lasted days) and drank pretty much nothing else. I took the vitamin D for reasons I forgot.

There was no time in between taking it and drinking the juice. It was what I drank most of the day.

One can take a few of these drops (liquid, in case that's unclear) every day, but that makes my stomach gas up massively for some reason.

One can take them once a week, too, but then he had to take the whole weekly dosage at once. Apparently it doesn't matter. I don't remember how much it was, but I'm talking about one or two dozen water droplets here. I'm sorry, I don't know how to express this any better.

The headache started maybe two hours later.
It could for sure. But that assumes it is set up correctly.
And even if it is setup correctly and runs realistic simulations, there are often in real life unforeseen variables like hurricanes, earthquakes, new discoveries, etc.

But how we define what is a fair tax policy is incredibly important. If the goal is not well defined how can an AI reach it?

What about other economic factors. What if a fair tax policy is not complete or possible without some other economic element(s) as a counterpart. What if a fair tax policy could only exist when Universal Basic Income is established.

But let's say that somehow magically all unexpected circumstances are accounted for. And the AI does successfully create a fair tax policy.

There will be those whose stand to loose a large amount under a fair tax policy. They are few, but they are powerful and wield massive influence over government. Would they go along with such a policy? It doesn't seem likely. It seems like even If you get a fair tax policy that is created, there will be people honestly questioning it's validity and people who are against regardless of how valid the result is.

It just seems unlikely to succeed. It may be useful economists might dissect what result it gives hoping to find new insights. But beyond that, I'm not sure how much good would realistically come from it.
This looks awesome, and touches on a bunch of things that have been on my to-do list of "find a thing that can do X", even if that thing didn't let me stay in the command line, which this obviously does.

Curious to see what people come here to say does all of this better, because if it exists in a nice package like this, I haven't seen it yet.

That’s not a secret , the push for 4g is very artificial, it’s pretty much compete with WiFi, but with more easy access. 4g is here to stay for at least a decade:)
Please give a generous reading for what I wrote. Off-hand, I was referring to any WiFi dongles he would have likely bought. Not an 8 year old report of problems encountered at the time that's not even exploring self desense as a problem.

Yes, USB 2 or 3 can cause issues for 2.4 Ghz if you don't shield your components properly. Are you saying that WiFi dongles, whose only job is to connect to these networks, isn't shielded properly?

I take it you haven't met very many university research professors. (But I probably should have used the term "central planning" instead since that is much closer to what I meant - the problem of over-coordination when a more distributed approach would have ultimately worked better.)
I'll be honest with you, if they combined this information with everything else they already know about my income, and had me sign a completed tax return at the end of the year instead of playing a game of "hope you don't accidentally commit tax fraud" I'd be ok with it.

Perhaps the Sun engineer did indeed copy from UNIX to some mild degree The line between "inspired from" and "copied from" is a fine line indeed. When does a term stop being proprietary and enter the vernacular of a specific profession or of humanity at large? I lean rather liberal on this question, and I hope the law will too. OTOH, what is blatant theft is for your 'original' work to overlap 99%, in both names and structure, to prior work. Google engaged in blatant theft, there is no doubt about it. We are not even talking about a derived work, we are talking about copying word for word a substantial part of somebody else's work.
Is it brand based, or product based? In the URL I see /brand/ and /product/.

Looking at products' labels they are almost always produced from the the same few companies and even at the very same plants. The nutritional value is the same. Only the brand seems to be different.

> This will probably not be a popular opinion here but the business of DoorDash is not to fix open source software.

It probably isn't. But as their business depends on software, it's worrisome that rather than understanding what was wrong, they just switched software. That doesn't seem inspiring to me.

Nobody said they had to fix the problems, but identifying them, and checking if they were fixed upstream seems like a good idea. Sometimes upgrading is a nightmare and doesn't fix anything, sometimes it fixes a major issue and drops cpu usage from 90% to 5%. If you know what the problem areas are, it should take less than a day to look at the changes and see if that area was addressed. Even if not, reading the changelogs and version notes should give some idea. It's fine if they didn't test upgrading, but again, I'm not inspired about their engineering talent and processes when it looks like they didn't even look to see if it would have been likely too help.

USB 3 and the idiotic USB C standard can die in a fire.

Replace it with a stripped down version of Ethernet with a simple, sane protocol that can encapsulate ethernet frames, display port frames and PCIe frames. Something like firewire where we can memory map a device or perform bulk transfers or byte oriented transfers.

Maybe a "converged" controller with some brains can allow it to handle Ethernet frames directly so an Ethernet port or dongle isn't much more than an external MAC. Then we can use existing Ethernet interface hardware, MAC's, jacks and so on. A new connector would be nice too. One that doesn't have the ability to inject 20V into a 5V device. Real-time can be handled using TSN and PTP can also be used.

Finally, combine that with single pair Ethernet for local desktop device networking at up to 1GB with PoE over a single pair of wires. Why do we need USB 3 and C again?
That's American business culture. You are expected to be fake happy.
