So Sec.4.2.B.iii says the large communication providers are allowed to charge a fee to access the network but doesn't say anything about the same charges being applicable to themselves. Wouldn't this create a competitive advantage to the larger network ?

Also, it seems awfully similar to the treatment for cellular communication providers. What are the differences here ? Or would Verizon/ATT be rolled into this since the statute just mentions large communications provider ?
You also need at least dynamic string of some sort. Actually, I would estimate 20x - I was being kind with 10x. But feel free to prove me wrong.
A dedicated high-end under-counter ice machine.

Most of my family members and I tend to drink water all day long.

We have a reverse-osmosis water filter setup, which is great. For years we used it to fill up bottles that we stored in the refrigerator so we could have cold water through the day. But we had to constantly clean and refill the bottles, and it takes some time for them to get cold.

With a good ice machine, we just get some ice in a cup or thermos mug and we can instantly have as much cold water as we want. The high-end machine makes nice clear ice that does not taste any different than normal water when it melts. It's just like store bought ice.

The fact that it is under the counter means it's super easy to open it up, scoop some ice, and then fill the cup up with water from the reverse osmosis spout right behind it.

You end up with really great tasting cold water, instantly, and as much as you want. The thing apparently makes 35 lbs of ice per day.

It's also nice for visitors, if they want pop or something and we didn't think to put it in the refrigerator beforehand.

Unlike refrigerator ice, it never has a smell or taste to it. It's just ice.
> A German artist, musician and magician, Matthias Buchinger, built models, although not necessarily, of ships inside bottles. He was also well known as an illustrator and engraver, all of which was remarkable given that he was born without arms or legs. He was also quite the lady’s man, having married four times and having at least 14 children by eight women.

That is one heck of a bio.
That is not the same thing. Having addresses with private keys that are the sole permission needed to make transfers is much different from having a bank account that the bank transfers electronically for you.
My variation on that is realizing that I know have enough money to buy the expensive, specialized, books I want to read without having to debate it with myself.

Getting one or two book I love every month fills me with both joy and knowledge.
The news actually feels like it's just messing with me now. We live in the timeline where Osama Bin Laden's QAnon conspiracy theorist neice went on Fox News to say that she is really an American at heart and to give Trump her endorsement.

WHAT??? Looks like the writers decided to bring back a reference to two seasons ago.

I don't understand how this happened if localhost is hard coded and the password is different. I don't think they fully understand why this happened. At least enough to prevent it from happening again.

The funny thing about the PDP-11 instruction set is how ridiculously simple it is to write a C compiler for it… the C operands map almost 1 to 1 to PDP-11 instructions.

At least that is what my compilers writing class taught me 25 years ago ;-)
The powers that wont be are complaining about censorship but as we all look back on the last 4 years and all the dead people the people running the government for the last 4 years are more apt to ask social media why they didn't do more.
One of the great things about grids (and flexbox too) is that the order the elements appear on the age does not depend on the order they appear on the file.

That makes it possible to finally present good content for people that can't use the layout (like blind people, or broken UAs like the print ones), and break nothing for most users. But you must forget the good placement practices of earlier.
I think the problem is advertising. Advertising causes media to focus on the controversy because it is what drives engagement. Business-as-usual would not drive engagement nearly as much as outrage does.
I had no idea about that, thanks. I have Reddit totally blocked, but that always seemed excessive for HN.
ICYMI, earlier this year, the cLabs team wrote this paper that outlines not just how CBDCs can increase the efficiency of the global financial system, but also how it creates a new transmission channel for monetary policy.

Not everyone shops on amazon but everyone would have to install a government mandated app. You're overgeneralizing every human.
I like declarativeNetRequest and think that the tradeoffs are reasonable, especially after the last revision[2]. Ad blocker extensions are a major security risk, and this fully eliminates the risk without breaking most of the functionality.

Adblocker extensions need full access to all network traffic and all it takes is a single person's account or machine to be compromised to get access to millions of browsers. Chrome extension compromises are a somewhat common occurrence - see [1] for a recent example.

I want ad blocking without giving the extension access to my cloud accounts, bank statements or company intranet.

My current solution is to use the ExtensionSettings[3] Chrome policy to blacklist extensions from particularly sensitive domains like accounts.google.com, my bank and the company intranet, but it's a clunky solution - I still want tracking and ad scripts blocked on those!

We installed screens on the double doors on our “sun room” so that we could keep them open all summer. It was an inexpensive change that really improved our quality of life, as we’re at home much more.
But I just think that is not completely correct either - a big part of Stoicism, unless I am missing something, is also being a better person holistically.

A world where everyone doesn't care about things generally (like a popular negative generalization of Stoicism) doesn't ever work.

A world where everyone is focused on being the best version of themselves might work better than everyone being focused on making the best world. I think that gets looped into Stoic teaching as well.
That has happened? Or was it a thought about what could have happened elsewhere?

There's somewhat of a resentment at Mapbox from the OSM community that they hide the required attribution [1] behind an "i" icon on mobile. This information besides satisfying the licence requirements serves as a "powered by" acquisition channel for OSM, like discussed earlier this week on HN [2].

That said, Mapbox does offer some QA tools for OSM mappers to use, so the net result is hard to judge.

Not original poster but I recommend Adguard for your DNS: https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html I changed the router settings for the house six months ago and have had no complaints. We've got 3 teenagers doing online high school or university and no issues.

Once in a great while I get a message from a site that says "we've detected you're using an adblocker" but really no issues.

There's no control over what is blocked or not blocked. That worried me but has turned out to work just fine. There are other solutions that do allow you to maintain a list but charge an annual fee.

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=adblocking+dns shows a lot more options than there were six months ago.
Is that improper use of the word? I thought it came close enough to the intended meaning.
>> If these things are good for you as an individual (cheap, convenient), why would you want the government to step in and mess them up?

I can't speak for that commentor but from what I've seen most people who say things like that just dont want to take any responsibility. The attitude is: I do what I want today based on my immediate wants. Its maximum freedom! But I want the government to protect me from others bad behavior. And if they do try to regulate or break up a company that's giving me what I want, imma complain about it because it may interfere with my choice.

It's a combination of narcissism and lack of personal responsibility.

Edit: and that last part sounded really shitty. Maybe I need to change who I hang around so I see less of that.
> My current candidate is promising Islam in public schools and legalization of discrimination based on gender and race. This guy a more of a "centrist" in democratic party.

I would love to see sources on these assertions of promising "Islam in public schools" and that this constitutes a centrist position in the democratic party.

I'm guessing you're just complaining about having prayer rooms in schools that students may use? Not, like, actually teaching kids to be Muslims.

>hardly an American came out of that without responding something like this when first whispered to by a fellow prisoner next door: "You don't want to talk to me; I am a traitor."

Several times the article talks about how the American prisoners felt guilt that torture was able to compel them to confess or divulge information or similar. That really surprised me. I can't imagine feeling guilty that I divulged secrets under torture.
From my experience, which is a single datum, many people leaving are those in towns with a very small minority population. Northern and rural california towns. Not the urban areas. Residents there feel increasingly threatened by scenes of racial protests in the state, fearing that somehow they'll be subject to oppression. So it's very easy to pack up and leave.

This isn't a new phenomenon, people moved from the south westward after the civil war, the white flight of detroit during the civil rights period, I do believe we are seeing another similar wave in motion now.

And for my own insight on this, people are not usually entirely honest, except when in company of others of similar mindset. Over hearing at a family gathering, I learned that the main reason a relative of mine is leaving california for maine is because "there will be less crime because there are fewer black people", despite living in one of the whitest towns in the state.
They were NEVER a public platform they were always a private company. Its a commonly repeated untruth that as soon as they start moderating they cease to be protected. Nothing could be further from the truth 230 specifically protects their right to moderate.
You are technically true. It just happens that Youtube is the dominant video platform and gets pre-loaded in the default seed.

Would they have made the same choice of preloading a default seed if they had no properties in the seed ? who knows
I'm actually curious to understand why it was such a big deal. A fair amount of world leaders, ministers, representatives and all did get sick. Was this not mentioned in the news at all in the US?
Another problem is that the needed investments are about similar, but the expected market is much smaller. For to language barriers we are really talking over a dozen separate markets. All these languages are killing the EU as a market. I'm German, but would always start a company in the US and not even consider starting in the EU for this reason even if everything else was equal.
And yet another "C++ sucks, Rust is better" thread.

Why are these C++ bashing threads practically always about Rust? I have nothing against the language but I do feel the Rust devs have some sort of inferiority complex and a compulsive need to convince everyone about the superiority of their tool.

Guys, these endless pissing contests are not really productive.
I agree that the waste of taxpayer money in Germany is beyond comprehension (while they do take utmost care when it comes to taxing you) and as a young German myself I also agree that many young people just don't question the media, if they get involved in politics at all. But I also know many who do and they've mostly just given up on the country. Because emigration aside, what are you going to do?
Tongue in cheek
Probably you are well aware of this, but arguably the causation runs the other way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)#Histo...
Oh, very likely true. But nothing stands in your way to just replace them with the GNU versions. Still way easier than running a Docker container...
California is a state, and thus dependent on federal budgeting like any other. A huge proportion of tax income goes to the feds, which they then dole out in various forms; California can't magically get around that.

For what it's worth, California gets less back from the federal government than most states, compared to what it sends in federally: https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-no-l...
> Voter “suppression” insofar as it exists works at the margins

So gerrymandering, 55% voter turnout, long queues, voting on a working day, having felons not being eligible, the electoral college system etc. isn't indicative of voter suppression?

> I’ve never voted in a Presidential election,

What's the point of your personal anecdote?

> What is an “easy-to-vote, EU-style election?”

That's a single state? Why did Trump say that the Republican party would never be elected again? [0] It's not exactly a secret. France had 77% voter turnout.

> It’s popular conceptually until it comes time to make actual trade-offs

What trade-offs? Skipping a foreign war?

> Biden won the Democratic nomination because his competitors’ single-payer proposals eliminated private insurance

You're always writing in authoritatively simplistic causal language. "X caused Y", when there's no such obviously direct relationship.

Android and Chrome do not make any money directly themselves and you ignored Google's core business, advertising.
A separate platform requires a compelling story. Google proves merely that money and dev talent aren't enough no matter how much you have of either or both.

I moved to California in the early 2010s to join a startup. We had a liquidity event a few years later and I used some of those earnings to start a business. We've now raised VC funds and I'm moving the company out of state to grow in a more sane environment. This state is suffocating especially lately. It's not only taxes nor cost of living. As a libertarian, I am not welcome here. I'm constantly bombarded by people who want to control my life and my business. Elon and Thiel were pushed out for similar reasons. From Sacramento, the shutting down small businesses during covid, affirmative action on company boards, making uber drivers employees and more. Then there are all the companies that use their business to push left-wing politics. I'm not going to spend any more energy fighting this. I'm done.
Yup! Pretty exciting indeed. Now OpenBSD has first class support for WireGuard, out of the box. And all the usual tools such as wg(8) and wg-quick(8) work too.
EU is as large as the USA.
Salaries are irrelevant since it's close to impossible for an European worker to move to the US, work visas are incredibly difficult to get and even if you manage to get one you don't have the same careers prospects as a native.

And don't be fooled by all this "start-up friendly" propaganda. Yes, funding does exist. But it will be doled out $50k at a time. And remember to log all your hours and write reports for the program administrators.

I watched a talk by David Graeber, author of On Bullsh*t Jobs. He observes that actual service sector jobs, where someone does something for someone else, have made up a pretty constant 20% of the economy. According to wikipedia, 74.7% of Europe's economy is services [0]. It's going to be a rude awakening when the curtains are pulled back on a 55% bullshit economy.

What I'm trying to portray is that a lot of people think that Covid-19 is more important than most human rights, and nearly any restriction for nearly any duration is acceptable if it'll slow the spread. I think it's entirely fair to call that an "erosion of respect for human rights", and the source article describes many examples of how that can go wrong. As long as Ugandans share the attitude that controlling the spread is the most important thing in the world, President Museveni will be able to continue oppressing his political opponents.

If you think that the leaders in your area are moral enough that they'd never abuse unlimited power in this way... I'm not gonna tell you you're wrong, I don't know, but I'm skeptical.

“How can you say that I should not repair or upgrade my phone / laptop without Apple blessing because my device could harm you WHILE at the same time I can repair my car at a third party mechanic and fucking cars have more potential to cause damage then electronics and tractors”

Easy:

The work of third party mechanics is not remotely comparable to diy repairs. They are:

1. Are strictly licensed

2. Are strictly regulated

3. Are liable for safety problems they cause.

4. Are required to carry insurance because of #3.
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions: Should You Hack or Pick?
Shamelessly sharing my own post on HN to see what people think. I've been thinking about this a long time. We make decisions all the time - but what need quick execution vs slow deliberate thinking?

I'm a bit confused on whether its appropriate to share your own writing on HN. I haven't done so earlier as a result. I searched a bit but couldn't find any clear information around it, so taking a chance to see what people say about it.
And that's the very goal of the monetary policy. Pushing you to invest into something riskier (including selling the currency).
Thanks for the kind words! So awesome that you are sharing the tools with others, I hope the rest of the team liked it too :)

It is so cool to see the tool in the front page of HN! We got an article published in css-tricks on Thursday about why we think generators are good tools for learning

The second link I posted was co-authored by the director of the CDC. The others are reviews of current evidence that are readable and reputable. There are abundant studies on this subject.

Here is what the WHO actually has to say about masks (https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...):

> “ Masks are a key measure to suppress transmission and save lives. Masks reduce potential exposure risk from an infected person whether they have symptoms or not. People wearing masks are protected from getting infected. Masks also prevent onward transmission when worn by a person who is infected.”

> ” Within wider environments where the virus is spreading, masks should be worn by the general public in settings where it is not possible to maintain at least 1 meter from others. Examples of these settings include indoor locations that are crowded and have poor ventilation, public transport and places of high population density – among others.”

Also, masks are not “plague vectors”. Best practice (from WHO) is to clean the mask daily:

> ” If your fabric mask is not dirty or wet and you plan to reuse it, put it in a clean plastic, resealable bag. If you need to use it again, hold the mask at the elastic loops when removing it from the bag. Clean your mask once a day.”

Your rant is not really worth addressing further. Find a better way to spend your time than spreading obvious misinformation.
The article’s ‘biggest losers’ map of total population outflow by county is truly awful. With a quarter of the state’s population, LA County would lead pretty much any measure if you don’t scale that measure to population.
A $5000 mattress for someone that can afford it really won't make a big difference compared to a $500 one. What mattress you sleep on doesn't really matter as long as you sleep well.

Rent prices in SF are down like 20-30% compared to last year. That doesn't mean 20-30% of people have left, obviously, I'd probably guess just a few percent have gone, but that's still a good chunk of people for an area that more recently was growing with huge demand.
It's almost embarrassing to tell young graduates about unreal mode and triple fault.
These early machines were not microcoded -- the instructions were hard coded, which tended to make the instruction sets fare more regular.

* Though later PDP-11s like the LSI-11 did have microcode -- AKA, in the argot of the time, a "writable control store"
Yeah, the other side of the story I'm leaving out is most of us probably can't afford the true cost of all the stuff we use. So we'd have to practice some restraint. We can't have it all.
doxy.me purports to support Firefox but it doesn't work when I try to video call my doctor.

PluralSight Flow is used at work and presents random blank pages on FF where content should be.

All of these are our could be mission critical apps used on a daily basis to perform my job.

In general, an attitude is strong among developers themselves that you should use Chrome because it makes their jobs easier.

I filed a bug on an internal company site years ago in Firefox and was told to stop using Firefox.

With that said, the real way devs can do their part is to go out of their way to support Firefox.
I find this very difficult. Every time I buy a mattress I buy one that I think is perfect, I sleep great on it, and then 10 months later I can't seem to sleep on it without back pain.
I prefer the joy of using a great lightweight cordless vacuum over having a robot vacuum. Vacuuming has been one of the household chores that was delegated to me as a kid growing up, and the difference compared to extremely heavy corded vacuums makes the experience feel like house magic.
