If you are referring to the Great Leap Forward, here's what Britannica says of its causes: poor planning + natural disasters. Sorry, there is no moral comparison between them. Mao "killed" millions of his countrymen in the same sense in which Trump did via his poor Covid response.

> Under the commune system, agricultural and political decisions were decentralized, and ideological purity rather than expertise was emphasized. The peasants were organized into brigade teams, and communal kitchens were established so that women could be freed for work. The program was implemented with such haste by overzealous cadres that implements were often melted to make steel in the backyard furnaces, and many farm animals were slaughtered by discontented peasants. These errors in implementation were made worse by a series of natural disasters and the withdrawal of Soviet support. The inefficiency of the communes and the large-scale diversion of farm labour into small-scale industry disrupted China's agriculture seriously, and three consecutive years of natural calamities added to what quickly turned into a national disaster; in all, about 20 million people were estimated to have died of starvation between 1959 and 1962.
Quality is not that great unfortunately.
Yes they do. If somebody’s got their hand in your pocket, you can forcibly remove it. If they’re burgling your house, you’ve got the right to shoot them dead.
So... There's no need to issue ccw permits for people to perform their job because people who need ccw permits for their job already have them? That is brilliant reasoning; you must work for the government.
I disagree. The RPi is a pretty versatile little machine. Yes, it does have some limitations, and the workarounds for those (like NVMe-over-USB) are not particularly optimal, but by sticking with RPi (rather than one of the other myriad SBCs), you get consistency and a reasonable expectation that the board is still going to be supported with an up-to-date userland 10 years from now.

I've been wanting to build a 4-bay SBC NAS for years now, but I haven't been able to bring myself to trust the community and support for some of the other boards that do give you direct access to the PCIe bus so you can actually get decent performance.

Now I'm waiting for someone to come up with something based on the Compute Module 4... (There was a post about someone designing a PCB for something that would do the trick the other day, but it requires some 0.4mm pitch soldering skills that I just don't have the equipment for.)
Thanks, we'll merge the comments thither.

The percentage would be lower, average savings higher. Because people's wages would have eroded less, and money not keeping it's value is incentive to live a consumptive lifestyle.... Bitcoiners hodl, for example, in spite of crashes and even with the risk it all goes to zero tomorrow.
Depends what you mean by "plain file host". To some that means a server I control that has a simple file share configuration. To others that means Google Drive. In the case of the former just mount the storage securely on the pi and save "locally" to it. Could be as simple as mounting the remote server via sshfs and selecting that mount directory to save the file.

In the case of the latter usually a similar concept but depends on the service/protocol.
I used to record all my android calls, keep them around for 7 days, then delete them (unless I flagged them as important). These were VERY GOOD for things like customer service.

Android also dropped the ability to do this for a while (the the apps I was using died) and I haven't tried again in a long time. Maybe I'll look again.

Lol it’s not like building a solar car has no ecological cost, the amount of times you’d need to ride the train to come close to equaling the environmental cost of buying an electric car alone is immense - probably long enough for Caltrain to become electrified and powered by renewables, but idk, Bay Area government always surprises me with its incompetence.
Most recent games install their anticheats from their own folder, so if you open something like Process Explorer and look at the loaded drivers list, you could tell by the path.

However, AFAIK nearly all games with anti-cheat (save for Valorant of course) load their anti-cheat when the game starts and unload it when the game closes. You can run something like Process Explorer/Monitor before running the game, then notice what drivers & services it's loading.
> Stated another way, you're saying the people who want change are troublemakers who should know their place.

First, that's only the case if you assume that by "political" I mean bad. But "political" isn't necessarily bad.

Secondly, and more importantly, to make something political is often to imagine some unjust status quo to be overturned. But imagination has power of reifying fantasies to actual events. In other words, to make something political is often to exercise power at the expense of others and to justify it by portraying your action as serving to overturn a status quo. Even status quo can use this to further their power! Freedom isn't always the net outcome of politics.

The main comparison here is that IMO, if you've never encountered UVC-gadget, OTG configuration, dtparams, etc., then seeing/auditing an Ansible playbook that can reproducibly set up a Pi over and over is a lot simpler than reading through about 20 different steps of instructions that are setting up serial interfaces and the like.

In the former case, you have something that many of us who are more intimate with code could follow along with and tweak. In the latter, it's something that still requires a little knowledge, but IMO a lot less to get started.

Something like https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam takes it a step further, but obfuscates some of the code more (IMO) by bundling it in an image that is generated with some build scripts (though that might be the direction I move my project eventually... people don't seem to care as much about trust and auditability nowadays).

McConnel is the walking corpse. Trump could've gotten more legitimate stuff done if that old turkey wasn't just blatantly ignoring democrats all the time. Trump even wanted a bigger 2n stimulus than the democrats...which they would've happily agreed to.
It’s also just a specific case of the more general idea of writing libraries and common APIs instead of monolithic applications. This can be seen in the Unix philosophy with standard IO and pipelines.
Yes to precision, that seems like a primary metric for "height" of civilization.

But I wonder about scale. Like how much steel do we actually need?

More to the point of the OP I suspect that energy usage per capita isn't intrinsically linked to quality of life or "height" of civilization at least above some baseline level.

It is perfectly reasonable exploratory research.

This is, of course, a relatively common epistemological failure for many individuals - the reduction of science to a binary proof/refutation system where a study can only transform your priors into a posterior of zero or one, so I guess it's hard to blame you.

I think it's a pretty low bar to ask for an example of a current systemic disadvantage that women have. I can point to multiple systemic disadvantages that men have right now - but your examples are from 100 years ago or are very vague. If the systemic oppression of women in the US is so vast as to necessitate laws that advantage or disadvantage individuals based on their sex, then I think it should also be pretty easy to point to.

As far as talking with women about the sexism they've experienced - I've never denied women experience sexism. I've explicitly acknowledged that multiple times. My point is that the sexism they experience is not an organized system of oppression (i.e. it is not "systemic"). There are multiple, explicit, and codified systems that disadvantage men and I have pointed to several of them.

It's like if immigration officers don't let you in the country unless you give them a case of liquor. You give them the liquor, and are caught. The story should be that the immigration officers are corrupt and demanding bribes, rather than you, an employee of Hacker News or whatever, being caught bribing immigration officers.

All I can say in is that MacPorts has served me well for over 10 years at this point, with remarkably few issues (even after updating to newer MacOS releases).

A couple years ago I wanted to install restic, which had homebrew instructions but not a MacPorts package. I don't remember the details, but the installation through Homebrew failed. In the end, I got rid of Homebrew entirely and created a MacPorts package, which took me around 2 hours with no previous knowledge on MacPorts packaging. It was accepted upstream too :)

Since then it just hasn't seemed necessary to try out other package managers. MacPorts fills that need for me and I prefer to spend my time elsewhere.

I found the install instructions, my point is that they clash with the rest of the presentation. How can you brag about a jailbreak being 'Fast. Really Fast' when your install process is long and convoluted?
We don't have a free market, or we wouldn't have fire departments, police departments, schools, military, funding for crops, or any government budgets.

The idea that we are a pure free market is as absurd as saying that china is pure communism. There is no pure government out there that meets the academic definition of the market they espouse. It's just not possible, never has been, never will be (I usually don't speak in absolutes but feel pretty 99.999% comfortable with this statement). There will always be gray outside the academic setting.
The challenge is that it was (I'm pretty sure) within the sheriff's discretion to deny these permits in the first place. So while the sheriff's office was surely wrong to demand a bribe, there was no reason Moyer had to agree to pay it either.
Frustrating that the announcement was made with so little technical details easily findable.

This kind of decision- to use an ARM core- seem pretty questionable. That's how things always were done, but it feels like another UEFI/FAT32 situation, dragging in old encumbering legacy baggage with big IP implications, when there are available other options (RISC-V).

It feels like this decision is being made literally one year too soon. Fixing the old, archaic in to place.

Yea, it seems like purely a philosophical goal for people anymore. Just because something has a CPU, that doesn’t make it a general purpose computer. There just doesn’t seem to be any practical benefit anymore.

I remember when I was younger, and I felt this odd moral imperative to having root on any device I had that I knew ran an operating system of some sort. Once I succeeded, then... well, nothing. It was pointless. Oh, wow I got Linux running on my PlayStation 2! Root login, baby! Look, it’s X Windows!! I have harnessed the power of the machine and am finally that much closer to..... well, nothing a PC can’t already do better.
It’s not even a wink-wink. In many states, for example, Connecticut[1], the territory of each. cable provider is regulated by the state. There’s only a few tiny spots that have an overbuild of another provider. The state claims that DSL is competition, but let’s be real, 12mbps DSL is no longer competitive.

Those who pay bribes for non-essential special treatment are as much criminals as those who ask for bribes. This guy has serious resources at his disposal and is allegedly willing to pay bribes. One must wonder if he has paid any others. I have little sympathy.
That only takes care of ragehackers (e.g.: blatant aimlocks) and throws very good players under the bus. Most cheaters toggle their cheats, make sure to not do too well, allow someone else to finish the kill (to not appear in the killcam), etc. It's common enough that most cheats out there have a strong disclaimer of "don't be obvious".
Just wanted to note that you DO get a large (measurable) performance increase using NVMe natively via the Pi's PCIe bus vs. through a USB 3.0 adapter; see my notes in my Compute Module 4 review: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/raspberry-pi-compute-...

I should probably dedicate a post and video to NVMe support, but basically you get double the random IO numbers if using NVMe vs NVMe-via-USB3. You can't boot off internal NVMe though, at least not natively with no microSD card or eMMC volume.
Is the server in the university/hospital and are you testing from the same building? Try testing from your home or as fas as possible. Also use another browser, so the images are not in the cache or something.
Can't believe all the Apple apologists here. Bribing public officials is a crime, period. It isn't an "unfortunate situation" or anything else that people are calling it. It also doesn't matter who initiated the bribe. The employee, and potentially the company itself, absolutely need to be charged and prosecuted for it.
Why do we need freedom of speech? Why do you care about privacy unless you have something to hide?
Any chance these could ever be released as videos on youtube or vimeo? Or as a simple downloadable .mp4 (or format of your choice)? Or as a collection of still images?

I ask because I'm wary of letting untrusted websites run javascript in my browser, and try to avoid it as much as possible.

With the above options I can just use youtube-dl to download the videos (or download the videos directly in the case of a simple link to an .mp4) and play them in my video player without having to run any untrusted javascript.
User experience is everything, and without a good profitable business model FOSS can't afford the massive investment of time and effort required to bring a competitive user experience. Making stuff work is only maybe 20% of the work required to build a product... sometimes less.

I've been yelling about that for years and years and very few people seem to get it. Free as in freedom got conflated with free as in beer years ago, and FOSS today is not much more than "waaah gimme free stuff!" It's not a gift culture. It's a "take culture."

Anyone who suggests any change to FOSS culture to remedy this problem gets shouted down. Any license that tries to remedy it gets attacked as "not OSI compliant" and restricting peoples' rights.

Meanwhile commercial closed source and SaaS vendors have the resources to leave FOSS and open ecosystems in the dust in terms of features and user experience. While the license purists yell about "restrictive licenses" taking away rights, the gravity of the walled gardens becomes more and more powerful.

The choice is between free and freedom.

Very interesting, thanks.

I'm working with Joy using Prolog and it's dreamy. I just started to work on a compiler (until I got sidetracked) so I'm going to read your code with interest. (I thought about WASM as a target but I'm not trying to make a real language.)
> "When high-ranking members of a law enforcement agency are at the heart of a bribery scheme, it tarnishes the badge, the honour, the reputations and - tragically - the effectiveness of all law enforcement agencies."

Yep, that's definitely a black mark against the people that have been beating, gassing, and shooting unarmed citizens for most of the last six months. =)
If you changed a known hack you might be scheduled for banning at a later banwave instead. Otherwise cheat developers would just make changes and test what gets them banned.
> Not hard to cover up at all by simply not admitting people and/or providing sub-optimal care (in which case you'd have much more effective capacity).

That would create a lot of angry people who'll complain that the ward is overwhelmed, which would be counterproductive if the goal is to hide a huge case load while claiming zero local infections.
Bringing the fairness doctrine back is a great first step.
>General Counsel once created a backdated paper trail for a fictitious meeting of the executive team

More on that Story?
Yep. That would be perfect time to reflect if you want to continue watching whatever you were watching, mediate or take a snack break or take the boiling water off the stove and throw some tea leaves in it or you name it.
Version of the story I read made it sound like Moyer was trying to get CCW licenses for his own use. So that was misleading if he was directed by Apple to pay bribes to get CCW licenses. Which is what the line you highlight seems to imply.
Exactly why I wasn't sure. :P

Ask HN: How do you find cofounders?
I'm a software guy that comes up with a lot of ideas that involve physical products. It would often be helpful if I knew an electrical engineer, or someone more in-tune with that space. I know that typically it's best to have someone that you already know - but I don't have someone like that.
Ask HN: Foumders' personal guarantees in a VC deal: what's fair, normal?
I'd like to hear views from both sides (founders, investors), and any interesting experiences.
Two things, to be clear --

1) The sheriff's office initiated/required the bribe, it's not like Apple's head of security was trying to bribe, they were being extorted

2) It's Apple's head of physical security, not software security (since it's not clear at first)

I'm curious -- if a county sheriff's office demands bribes, what is the correct legal course of action in the US? Do you bring it to county court? To the governor's office? To state police? To state court?

And how would you prove that it happened? Who would you work with to legally record audio of the solicited bribe?
At the local level? It is commonplace. Look into how many local police agencies have vehicles or other equipment donated by local citizens. Look at where an elected sherrif gets his campaign funding. There is very little oversight at the local level.
Yes, because unlike today, that’s not a software-exclusive attack that can be sold online without shipping a physical product.

(Games can also trivially enable HDCP to defend against that sort of attack in the majority of cases where it’s even possible to construct it at all, setting aside the chances of successfully asking a neural net to decode a game’s video signal and cheat effectively — and since the entire stack is attested secure, cheaters can’t use hacked video drivers that spoof HDCP, either.)

Then don't buy stuff like that.

None of this stuff will change unless people vote with their wallets. Companies have the idea that nobody cares. I've actually heard "nobody cares about privacy and security" repeated as a mantra in multiple circles.
Yet somehow the 1st or 5th Amendment are applied across all states uniformly, unlike the 2nd.
> GSA does not dictate the outcome of legal disputes and recounts, nor does it determine whether such proceedings are reasonable or justified. These are issues that the Constitution, federal laws, and state laws leave to the election certification process and decisions by courts of competent jurisdiction. I do not think that an agency charged with improving federal procurement and property management should place itself above the constitutionally-based election process. I strongly urge Congress to consider amendments to the Act.
Why the company?

Seems like it was just this individual.
Something tells me this was never going to be an official, on-the-books donation. So yes, the iPads would likely never have made their way to the department itself.
Whether the recipients of the iPads had direct personal benefits or they were just donated for the department usage doesn't really matter with respect of bribery. Basically, you cannot make gifts of any larger value to anyone, who is somehow in a relationship to your business. Sometimes it is really annoying, if an honest gift was intended, but these szenarios are exactly the reason, why today you cannot make gifts which exceed a few free stickers or such.
> Reddit understands that these users would leave the site en masse if their third party clients or ad blockers were interfered with.

I want to agree but I don’t. Twitch recently went to war with adblockers and they don’t seem to have lost any meaningful amount of streamers/viewers (at least the streamers/games I follow have the same amount of viewers/chat spam as before). Why would reddit be any different?
