The US in particular has taken the pursuit of convenience to extremes and the abuse of plastics is one of the clearest examples of that. Most packaging should be glass, paper, or metal. Fewer things should be so disposable.

One thing I wish we could find a solution to is our oil subsidy problem. I get that the US gov wants to subsidize oil for the sake of national security but those subsidies have all sorts of crazy unintended consequences. One of those consequences was that oil found a way to make itself the primary component of packaging.
Looking at the text of the law, I disagree. It doesn’t require that the service be commercial. The criteria are loose and broad enough that while they may appear to target platforms, they could certainly be abused by creative lawyers to target individuals.

Do you really trust that the RIAA won’t pressure prosecutors into targeting individuals? Heck, if you run a home media server, a good team of lawyers could probably convince a technologically-incompetent jury that you’re subject to this law.

So that's what the Congress people are up to instead of trying to help people during a pandemic. Putting in laws to reduce streaming while encouraging people to stay at home. I guess that $600 they paid people whose job they eliminated should cover their streaming bills for the year.

Newsom closing outdoor dining while allowing Hollywood to film is making more sense now. Sorry for going political on HN but this really bugs me.
Does it really take that much imagination to understand how it could seem that way to someone who has, realistically, been organizing their life around getting into a service academy since they were 15ish years old?
Yea, in 2019 this article made sense. If there is ever a year to launch a high end webcam, it was 2020. A ton of professionals with disposable income and very few ways to spend it, sitting in Webex and Zoom calls all day. People are dropping tons of cash for ring lights and Lume Cubes.

Launch HN: Skinlync (YC W19) – All you need to manage your skin condition
Hello everyone! I'm Yigit, co-founder of Skinlync. (https://www.skinlync.com/register)

Skinlync is a self-management platform bringing together everything users need to manage their skin condition. It specifically matches user profiles to others with similar conditions and details, helping users get personal and effective results thanks to the support of thousands of patients across the UK and input from leading dermatologists.

The idea originated from my frustration dealing with eczema. Since I had my first flare-up 30 years ago, I was struggling with managing my condition and finding which products have been useful for others. I believed that there are millions of people going through the same thing with very valuable personal experiences but there wasn't an efficient way to exchange those experiences and help each other. After spending a lot of time developing, I finally feel like I’m at a point where I can share the solution publicly. Some of the highlights:

(1) Collect and share condition-based product reviews, (2) Discover what products are recommended or not recommended by others, (3) Connect with other users who have similar condition and experiences, (4) Receive peer to peer anonymized emotional support and advice and (5) Keep a visual diary of your condition to see if the products you use are effective.

It is free and open to everyone who have a skin condition. As a social venture also supported by the University of Cambridge, I have no monetization methods and are not affiliated with any brand, so you don’t have to worry about certain products being pushed on you. All content solely depends on user-input and reviews.

To further improve the platform, I would love to have feedback from all of you, including any feature requests. Please drop me a line if you're interested in what we are doing and I would love to hear back from all of you. Thank you!
I haven't read the law, but I'm a priori very skeptical of "directed at" reasoning in law. After it's on the books, it will be used to go after whoever the prosecutor wants to go after, subject to their constituents and vested interests with access.

Only a couple years ago they were prosecuting teen couples for child pornography for having nudes of each other.
Defense spending isn't really an effective stimulus since the end result is primarily a jobs program. Any materiel purchases just sit there, not generating revenue (as a factory would).
It's a good thing as long as there is a viable alternative to it.
But you can't install over an existing app from Google Play. You need to uninstall the app, lose your data, then reinstall with an apk.

Edit: above is wrong at least for Tor Browser, you can install over an existing Google Play installation.

And the many users who downloaded from Google Play (over 10 million installs per Google Play data) never get notified that there's a security fix being held up in review.
"Those people are not making less if I don't pay for a movie. The marginal revenue is all yacht money profits"

The byzantine logic here on a supposedly 'smart site' really goes sideways on ideological issues were people have a) some ideology and b) they want it for free.

The failure of your comment is really quite evident: basically 'every purchaser' could make the same statement about 'marginal revenue' in which case, if nobody bought the content, then, there would be no content and no yachts.
It’s also not “to be a felony soon.” The bill hasnt even passed.
Looks like QEMU has some ARM emulation support: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU#ARM

I've never actually run Windows on ARM in any context, so I have no idea how things are supposed to work once the VM exists. Maybe Microsoft will offer VM images...?
I don't think that's a very fair interpretation of what he's saying. Basically anyone can advance in their field by working harder or smarter. How does wealth inequality play into that? I used to do manual labor, then I got an education and much better pay. A venture capitalist made a crap ton of money, then made smart investments, now they make a crap ton + some more.

Don't get me wrong, I know wealth inequality exists and it's incredibly unfair, but I don't think it makes sense as a counterpoint to what he's saying.
That's what defensive pacts are for, yes
You're reading, comprehending, noting changes, all at about a page a minute, and you have a team of 110 people, and expect every senator to do the same? That's insanity
Look at how hard it is to make people pay 0.99 on the app store for an app. It's not the price, it's the fact that you have to pay.

Deciding to buy Netflix is a one-time decision, and then you have access to the full catalog, without any friction. I added "for free", meaning that I don't have to decide whether or not I want it enough to pay, and then enter my payment details, manage an account & password, etc.

When Netflix was the only game in town, it actually made a measurable dent in pirate traffic; a fact which was widely reported at the time. Now that content owners want to have their own Netflix (thus draining its catalogue), piracy rises again [1].

It's true that there's a certain limit the "it's not a price problem" statement. I'm perfectly willing to pay up to a certain amount per month on entertainment services (and I do), but at some point, enough is enough. That certain amount will vary from person to person, the industry just needs to find that sweet spot and stop trying to turn potential clients into criminals.

Think various boards bootloaders, not even BIOS to rely on, that's running on bare metal. Calling something running on a normal x64 OS launched with UEFI as such is silly and inaccurate.
Barcodes are easier and more reliably scanned by dedicated devices; QR codes are easier and more reliably scanned by general-purpose devices like phones.

This was atually the part I was curious about. Could you elaborate? Or is there a design doc somewhere?
Because they are your public face online and the quickest route to your contacts. It is trivial to do immense reputation damage with access to that. Would you rather go through the hassle of getting money back after you were the victim of bank fraud, or getting respect back after someone posted hardcore porn to all your contacts or used your social media as a vector to spread a scam link?
I've got a recent experience with similar software (and still having PTSD from it), and I don't even think it really provides any real protection against cheaters. Ok, maybe all those AI-things to track head and eyes movements even work, though I find it a stupid idea.

More interesting is their exam protection part. It records the screen, limits the software you can run, disables copy-paste, disables external monitor and keyboard on a laptop, etc. All to avoid leaking of the exam questions. And it's super annoying for the student.

But I don't think they protect from custom browser scripts like with Greasemonkey, and there is just no way to detect a proxy server that makes copies of the requested pages with the exam content. So it's only a Security Theater, nothing more.
The threat of costs from the small claims court system is the only reason they achieved anything.
So if a site is compromised and requires a password rotation, do you just never use that site again?

Visual Studio needs to be on ARM. Otherwise you have to cross-compile, and the developer cost and effort to try to debug your code across multiple devices just isn't worth it these days.
At least according to several studies (though unsure if they're included in the above meta-analysis), the government's drug abuse pages, countless anecdotes, and the existence of the term "roid rage".
Sure. For comparison, I can find references to "bare metal" meaning "no operating system" dating back to 1989...3 decades:

I suspect it comes from the automotive paint industry. Sanding down to the "bare metal" for the best finish...where the primer and paint are as close to the substrate as they can be.

If I may: what exactly is the reason for the SWE disdain? From your post, I can kind-of relate with my own disdain for enterprise practices attempting to turn the field into a factory job and piling on more and more responsibilities. Despite that, I still hold a love for creating things through code (which is also rapidly being taken away by these practices).

This is not to dissuade your choice. Rather, I'm looking for similarities between myself and others, and potential pitfalls to avoid.
I think your last two points are potentially compatible: the best case would be to use it as a honeypot but if the owner won’t cooperate or people start getting suspicious it’s no longer useful that way and they’ll get who they can shutting it down.

The acoup guy, Bret Devereux, says this a few times in his writing:

The peasants were poor, not stupid. That's what drove them to follow their own interests, not the lords'. For context it made sense for the lord to have peasants work more than they wanted. But the peasants often preferred not to for a number of econmic reasons, among them not being able to capture the gain, and risk minimization.
Russia is a minor threat, and is becoming less powerful by the day. When Putin leaves (thanks, Parkinsons), there might be some internal turmoil, but that probably won't lead them to invade Sweden. The major threat is the mass migration from ME and Africa that will overwhelm Europe.

One of the big reasons to put together a competent military and logistics operation is to help neighboring countries become more stable. Without stability and peace economic growth is tenuous.
English is a transferable skill, learning new languages is a skill also, being a successful bi or tri lingual person is a skill.

There are many many engineering and manufacturing companies who specialize in being suppliers for regulated industries. Like machine shops that specialize in aerospace, medical and automotive parts. Electronics manufacturers that do the same. At that level its more about process control and running a smooth operation and not the specifics of the application.
I don't think this is correct? Can't you install any prod build regardless of source as long as you sign it with the prod credentials (and do not opt-in to google managed creds)?
Because a moral man forced into an immoral situation will try to make the choice that causes the minimal amount of suffering to achieve the goal.

All war is immoral. Always, all the time. You're depriving someone of their life - their future. I'd rather someone with a conscious be required to make those decisions than someone without.
Or maybe this is a twitter rant and not a peer reviewed journal article.
The demo is really well polished, love the Youtube aesthetic. I am going to try out using this for some of my needs. Love the stack.

I think the documentation visibility could be a bit better, instead of config docs in an MD file in the repo, maybe abstracting to another page on your landing site and linking in the header for more direct access.

Really nice!

There are tunnels that have this requirement. It took years longer than planned to complete the new Berlin airport. The underground trainstation was already finished, and they had to drive in there with empty trains every day for air exchange to avoid mold etc.
If you don't work hard, someone will. If you can offer something better in return, good. So it's either working smart, or working hard. And I suspect the people that have achieved the former also do the latter.
I could see how this would be the common perception among lay people.

Except most criminals do not get caught. That's something most people do not realize. Silk road, FinCEN and the Panama Papers are the tip of the iceberg.

NOT putting American bases in your country is capitulation as history shows that Russia is bound to attack sooner or later. Ukraine is currently partly occupied, after many years of 'friendship'

XLR does not imply need for phantom power. Some XLR microphones do, some don't. There are XLR equipped audio cards for as little as $80.

They did restrict travel abroad. The US had to send a special plane to evacuate people because they had stopped international flights. And then the Us failed to strictly quarantine them and also the evacuating team according to a whistleblower didn't use proper PPE.
Virustotal has a back-end API that is pseudo-public. You just have to call them and pay $$$$ for access. For enough money they will absolutely let you download every sample submitted to them, in near real-time. All the big 3 letter US agencies are getting this feed. So this is very doable by the FBI / NSA, probably also big players like Microsoft, Amazon, etc. if they cared to have the feed.
there's nothing inherently bad about working hard. I do think the default american perspective on hard work is a toxic one; it seems to be an intrinsic value unto itself. a visibly hard worker commands respect irrespective of what that work is. I find that people are often baffled by the idea that someone be genuinely satisfied with their current material wealth.
Downloading porn on lime wire doesn't stop you from advancing in the process with a polygraph.

Doing hard drugs doesn't stop you in advancing with the selection process, or even prevent you from getting a clearance.

LYING about it, hiding it, or attempting to cover it up or show ANY KIND of dishonesty is what prevents you from continuing in the process.

Nobody has ever been denied a clearance because they downloaded porn on limewire, or pirated movies or videos, assuming they admit to such, and do not indicate a desire or intent to continue in the behavior.
Not saying it’s a bribe. It can simply get and focus the senator’s attention.

I feel like the OP's idea is not a bad approach for a tiny slice of what we do on a whiteboard.

All the tech solutions I've tried fall far short of a real board (or collaborating on paper). Drawing with a mouse is terrible, but buying my team tablets etc. for this had its own set of challenged. Software at least lets remote workers see the same "document" but it's a pretty mixed bag too. I've tried most of them and haven't found something that really shines (including the dedicated ones like miro).

Half the time we end up drawing on paper and sharing images of that, which is also not ideal.

Anyone come up with a really workable replacement?

Well, in that case there should be legislation for "minimum participation" akin to minimum wage, restricting property rights of the owners. There's no such legislation, which I think is a great thing, so that is the reason employees cannot expect to be activists at work. That answers the question in the present.

As for the changes; the co-op structure already exists, so if it actually resulted in better outcomes you'd expect more co-ops. As is, myself (and most people I expect) would rather have more money than more participation, in fact the poorer people would probably be the first to trade participation for money if they could. In the US, they can go either way at least in theory (the reason there are not that many co-ops is probably because few want more participation at the cost of money). In Europe, you are forced into a particular model. I view that as unfair.

The "political activism" was literally to remove restrictions to give people more options and/or to make people more aware of rules and less beholden to some unjustified ancient custom.
Wait can you really use a Canon R5 as a webcam? Could be a business expense.
A few days ago I downloaded Parallels for Apple M1, then downloaded a free VM image from Microsoft for Windows 10 ARM. It all installed and sort of worked, but kept freezing randomly (for me), so I deleted it. In any case, it was actually all free, despite verbiage to the contrary in various places, including Microsoft's own website.
Its completely clear to me. If you kick out a first-year student, you've deprived the university of the next three years of income from that student.

We've allowed money to become the guiding principle of higher education, rather than ability.

The sad truth no one wants to admit to, is that most people don't need to go to college, and frankly, if we were go to back just 60 years to the rigor of those curriculums, most people couldn't hack it, either.

> Russia has 12,000+ tanks only in paper. Russia has only few tank divisions in working condition and equipped. Rest is just Soviet era junk that has not moved in decades. The military modernization program has stalled.

How many European countries have countries have even 1 tank division?

Russia may have 12,000 pieces of junk tanks + 40,300 of junk APCs, IFVs, ARVs, and engineering vehicles + double of all of that in reserve, salvage, and storage, but who else do you think have?

Russia's Achilles heel is low morale, and low number of highly trained specialist, especially pilots. Second, is its military logistics (which itself is bigger, and better than that of most NATO countries)

Latest tank modifications Russia ordered was not some rocket munition, but a drive by wire system for tanks, so one can drive a tank like driving a car, as Russia for decades had more pieces of military hardware than pilots for them.
