Thank you for that link - I had not seen that - my impression was that Fir would be a die shrink and otherwise identical.

Reading through the explanation, I think the tradeoff is still worth it for me since I care more about battery life and heat than full convergence (I plan to use this device as a portable Linux machine on the go, not so much (if at all) docked). I do think Purism should have been clearer about this though.
I love this feature. It's great knowledge. Some people want to censor the morons but that would remove the amount of morons you could readily identify.
While PaaS is expensive, the point really is that the cost of PaaS early on will likely be far less than the cost of properly setting up and building out a k8s cluster/deployment pipeline.

Getting something up, running, and making money is really the first priority for a business. Fixing it to not suck or eat all the profits comes later.

> people taking what devices could already do and standardizing it so that anyone can use it in a more uniform way.

In this case, standardization makes a huge difference.

Before DoH, this was theoretically possible, but needed enormous effort to pull off: The simplest thing a device could do was to hardcode custom DNS servers - but the network admin could easily bypass that by redirecting the packets, as described in this subthread.

Any more interception-proof solutions would have involved designing a custom network protocol, running a custom server and implementing custom bootstrapping logic to connect the device to the server - and even then, the traffic would stand out enough than an admin could still block or redirect it easily enough.

With DoH, there are publicly accessible servers that accept requests over plain HTTPS: This means, someone who wants to keep their ads from being blocked does not need to run any server infrastructure and does not need to fiddle with network code at all - they can just drop in a DoH client library, hardcode a list of public DoH servers and client certs and be done. This is absolutely a game-changer.

This is very likely not true according to his very good attorney. He felt that there would be no custodial sentence, and that losing the case was not likely.

Some FPGAs are commodities. Here’s one with a PCB for $13. Can be used with an open tool chain too. I could probably find an even cheaper one if I looked harder.

Just like with GPUs, FPGAs with bigger die areas cost more. The biggest ones are expensive, just like with GPUs.
Yes. And that’s not because people are abusing README.md, but because abusing README.md is the only way for most projects to improve most first impressions for their project.

When citizens aren't armed, dumb criminals can't find guns. (Where would they get one?) Smart criminals understands that using a gun in a society without guns will make themselves feature prominently in national news, and the police will make it top priority to arrest them.

I mean, just visit any country where ordinary citizens don't carry guns.
Your comment, predictably, is indeed popular.

What won't be popular: the second amendment was crafted specifically so that functionaries of State power can't abuse their position without the risk of extrajudicial reprisal.

Not at all saying that this specific case is a matter of positional abuse ( definitely appears to be a tragic lone mental health case, which is a whole other problem in our society entirely ) - merely stating that the right to bear arms is intended to be a check against it.

What about jobs in the private industry that make people roughly equally as likely to be targetted? Her proposed law doesn't do anything for them.
The solution to this is sentence enhancements.

For example, pass a law making the distribution of PII unlawful if the intent of the distribution is to cause violence or unrest. The law itself would cover everyone evenly.

With a few sentence enhancement clauses, the same statute that protects everyone equally can add additional terms of incarceration or mandatory minimums for judges and law enforcement.

That chip is $967 on Digikey, yet that entire dev kit is $259. It's annoying that the only way to get reasonably priced FPGAs is to launder them through China.
It’s so odd to see a presumably very intelligent person believe that we can legislate a solution to this problem. Maybe mandated physical security for all judges (which is how it’s done in may other countries)? But Daniel’s Law just introduces a bit more friction that would almost certainly be surmounted by a highly motivated individual. The law is just window dressing.
Thank you :-) I own both a Win 2 (Windows for gaming) and a Pocket 2 (Linux, for study/coding) and am very happy with both of them - but neither is actually pocketable, which is why I'm looking towards the Librem 5 (and have also considered a Pinephone, and would be very tempted to get one if they come out with something closer to Librem 5 in terms of power)

it wasnt created, i.e. it isnt synthetic - in that regard those "debunking" articles are almost correct. The point here is that the "creation" is a red herring. The virus wasn't "created", it was selectively bred for higher virulence among mammals (as a way of getting closer to humans - "gain of function" experiments) like you'd do to get a new apple or corn breed. At some point either an employee got infected (or may be some limited human testing of a "flu" on some easy volunteer-able population like say prisoners as part of the experiments) or a carcass of a lab animal was sold at the market ...

Trying to help those in the inbound travel, need honest and aggressive feedbacks
Hi there,

I am Darren from Mountain View, just next to YC office. I am trying to help tour guides to get their customers back despite pandemic. I have worked with 3 fantastic certified guide in San Francisco to prepare virtual tours using our set of 360 video panoramas, equipped with build-in video conference. They all love it, our friends are in shock, but I don't believe my friends who have not paid. I would like to get honest feedback from all of you here in hackernews, I really hope a lot of them can get back to pay their bill while accompanying those who want but can't travel. Hope you'd take a look. I really appreciate it.

Here is a snipped of the tech - https://youtu.be/xOKFAQwt6_U

Started small with k8s / gke, suffered a lot, coming to appreciate it as we grow. I think over the last 1-2 years there weren't a lot of other choices.

Knowing what I know now, I think if you are successful something like k8s is required to scale and you are running non trivial apps. For trivial stuff I'd go serverless plus some kind of managed app platform as much as possible.

For non trivial, there are stripped down k8s distributions out there that would work and let you work in portable containers. I'd think pretty hard about something like Rancher to get started, and 'graduate' to GKE / EKS / AKS when you hit scale with at least 100's of VM's. You need to keep it in containers to plausibly make the switch though and not require a rewrite later. I think Rancher deploys on all the major and smaller cloud vendors, is small enough to run on your desktop, still do development, and adheres to the API standards you'll care about later.
I wonder when this idea really started propagating, was it around when AWS came along? Because by a technical definition I don’t understand why this “loophole” wouldn’t also apply to a hypothetical web host back in the late 90s.

If BLM was more than just a political party seeking to exploit black people, I think they would be focusing more on the #1 killer of black people(gang violence) rather than freak accidents that happen with police.
But I don't think music delivers the same value it used to. It's competing with other things. People compare to things like Netflix, and they have fatigue with how many services they need to pay for.

I agree that there are difficult tradeoffs here. Essentially ever official has said that there will be no enforcement, so the order effectively only applies to the persuadable.

My kid's scout troop is still meeting, kinda sorta complying with the letter of the order. I have advocated multiple times with the leadership to stop the meetings or at a minimum restrict them to small, stable groups, but I am the only one who feels that way. Perhaps a more severe shutdown would persuade them, but perhaps not. I wonder if just a few token enforcement actions, such as pulling people over and asking if they are complying, or modest fines for the local megachurch with 95 cars in the parking lot on Sundays, would go a long way toward making people think twice. There's a common feeling that if something is legal, it's OK, and I find that's rarely true. It's legal to fart in an elevator, but that doesn't make it right.

> Which is a different way of saying that it is not free at all You are not free to do what you want and you are certainly not free to build a business on top of the software; that requires a non free closed source license.

Most freedoms constrain others. The freedoms that the FSF care about are the freedoms of the users. Not the freedoms of the developers, and not the freedoms of the corporations that make the devices that sell to users. If you want to recognise and protect the rights of end users, you will constrain other peoples rights to exploit them in various ways.

Which is to say that I think that GPLv3 (dual) licensed software does give genuine freedoms, even if they aren't the freedoms you are most interested in.

Your freedom to create a consultancy around the GPLv3 licensed code and to charge for customisations or support are all protected too. Again, I understand that that isn't the kind of business you wanted to build on top of the software, but it's still a real freedom.

I actually think a dual license might have been better in the case of terminusDB too.

Sure, but if you look at all type work injury/mortality related issues, I doubt federal judge is at the top of the list. What could happen here though is that even though federal judges arn't at that great a risk in overall work related injury or harm, because they are a high authority high yielding power role they might have their risk addressed first and foremost, while others don't.
This is a silly threat model, as enabling location services on the device provides the location data to Apple/Google via the network.

I am not sure how this works in regards to economies of scale. However all artists are free (except for contractual agreements) to release their art independently and keep the whole pie.

Let's take your £10. Now spotify has operational costs, staff salaries, operational costs. How much is your £10 worth now?

Well its not actually too hard to work out you could take a look at the balance sheet. But I gather your £10 is worth quite substantially less.

This does not include any further cuts like for the record label, song writers, produces, marketing etc.

TL;DR; your £10 is not worth £10 if you factor in other overheads.

Right, which is why we keep hearing from people who move their macbooks to Linux after Apple drops support. And why Apple technically supports phones forever while releasing OS updates that tank performance.

> they asked family members to sign that their relative died from covid when dying from something unrelated otherwise they are not allowed to retrieve the body for weeks.

At least in the UK and US this is misinformation and false. Cause of death is certified by doctors or coroners and added to a database that reported COVID deaths are pulled from. Family members do not have to sign anything before cause of death is determined. I'd wager that Greece is no different.

COVID deaths are well known. There are many scholarly articles out there on how they are counted for people who don't get their information from Facebook. Here's a quick little article for example. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-covid-19-deat...

“Sometimes these go a bit off the rails or a less optimal choice gets made and frankly... that's fine. Mistakes are where we learn and letting engineers make mistakes and recover from them is part of letting engineers grow.”

So true. I often pity the young people who are starting now with complete micromanagement by JIRA, Scrum, daily stand up and pull requests. When I started out 30 years ago you could often go away and work on something for a month or more, try out stuff, screw up royally, learn from it and become a better programmer. These days it often feels like an assembly line where every step is optimized but no creativity is allowed. There is no better learning experience than to develop a system and after a few requirements changes to learn that the system was misdesigned. Good programmers will work through that and do better. Bad programmers will just shrug their shoulders.

Right now my strategy as a tech lead is to of ask mainly if something is holding people up, act on that quickly and be available for discussions, but otherwise I am trying to hold back and let people do their thing even if I don’t agree. But this takes strong nerves with line managers and project managers breathing down your neck.
True. In general, the more laws there are, the fewer law-abiding people there are, since there are more laws to violate.

For example, I don't think the recent decriminalization of weed in various US states probably hasn't caused very many people to start using it. But in the same way, the laws against it didn't do much to limit its use.
Every time someone does, someone else comes along and either presents a compelling enough use case that arbitrary execution is introduced or just wraps the thing in an environment where it’s funneled in.
Unless you already know this really well, I'd start even at a more fundamental level than what is suggested by LinkedIn. I'd try learning Unix and a little bit of C by using The Unix Programming Environment by Kerninghan & Pike plus Kerninghan & Ritchie. It's quite timeless. Files, pipes, pointers, etc. That's the plumbing of software engineering.

Then also learn the calculus of software engineering: Logic. A good short intro is Huth & Ryan. The book covers some advanced topics in later chapters, but you don't need that if you don't want to. Logic is also timeless, and very practical. You can gain the ability to model check things, which is really really cool and used pretty often for e.g. distributed systems. This can unlock many cool positions for you.

Logic can also take you to logic and declarative programming. Something also worth investing into, and pretty addictive. For that, there's nothing better than The Art of Prolog.
It made sense when they came up with it but it was a large can of worms which didn’t age or scale well.

My ideal would be to have a lie-down setup like this in which I spent ~1 hour max, then I get up and do some fairly strenuous exercise, take a walk, make lunch, etc, then lie back down for another hour.
