So this is the HN frontpage now? Thats the same clickbaity title every old blog/news site uses and I try to avoid as good as I can.
That's because this is a coordinated smear campaign that started shortly after US finance started signalling that they don't like BTC. I don't remember who it was. There was an official conference. Ever since then those BTC caused global warming are popping up every other day.

I guess the terrorists and drug cartels angle is dead since Elon has now btc.

They don't promise that. From their website: "Every Tether token is always 100% backed by our reserves, which include traditional currency and cash equivalents and, from time to time, may include other assets and receivables from loans made by Tether to third parties, which may include affiliated entities (collectively, “reserves”)."

> Also "rigged" is just conspiracy language. YOU CAN LITERALLY LOOK UP THE INDEX YOURSELF.

The idea that the government inflation indexes are rigged is conspiracy language. They are talking as if people from conservative think tanks and corporate boards are having the government fix inflation indexes to their way of thinking, or even retroactively setting inflation indexes to their way of thinking ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boskin_Commission ).
It's ironic considering the articles he links at the end actually hold more water:

They are heavily bank rolled and supported by Murdoch controlled media, tech giants allow smaller non-Murdoch controlled media to get more reach within Australia. This legislation was pushed for, drafted by and endorsed heavily by Murdoch controlled entities. A large number of the staffers for this governments politicians are all ex-Murdoch staff.

This current government has a long history of only doing things their donors ask for and not siding with the best interests of the public.
I'd guess that xorcist added a space at the end of the function name because zsh uses =( to specify one type of process substitution. Without the space or an escape for = zsh will error on alpaca128's definition believing you wanted something else entirely.

To that point zsh has some excellent additions for process substitution beyond bash's <(list), but it also makes for yet more weird incompatibilities for when that matters. I only looked at this to start with because I assumed the space was because =() would have been treated as the full path modifier for a command called (), because it would mean that with any other character including other bracket types. TIL.
Who gives a shit? Just visit the damn website through your address bar instead of trying to access it through some walled garden monetizing your every mouse move.

Fellow Aussie here - this is simply incorrect.

Australia does have competitive federalism, and so many of the localised decisions have been from the states, but the major decisions for seeding - closing borders, acquiring vaccines, etc, along with fiscal backstopping - are federal.

The federal government (under ScoMo) has never polled so well as it has during covid, and for good reason.

(NB: I am no blind Coalition supporter, but they have made decisions which are very popular, and no amount of directing attention to the states would absolve them from blame if we had a situation more like Europe or the US.)
A gym's ideal customer is one who pays but never uses the facilities. One can imagine that if you often used the facilities, particularly at peak times, they almost want to discourage you,
I agree that the success of individual investors shouldn't matter in this context. But I also think that nobody should ignore potential fraud or systematic problems just because BTC "makes money". For example, scams like pyramid schemes work very well until they don't.
Seems shortsighted to end this mission after 30 days.

I imagine it's purely for mission planning complexity reasons. But a more sensible approach seems to be to say "after 30 days you have to limit comms to 100 bytes/sec back to earth and stay 100 meters from the rover".

In the future I could imagine the more modern processor on the helicopter might become handy... Some neural network based navigation system might run on it but not the rover main cpu... Also the helicopter might be able to get very good aerial photos that could be turned into 3d models to figure out the best spots to do science. It should be able to see much better than orbital radars.
That seems really good advice. Next time I try to cancel my NYT subscription, I'll try that. I managed to do it entirely by email, but took 3 emails back and forth. Then in all the excitement of the 2020 US presidential election I subscribed again ... so the cycle will repeat.

P.S. there probably going to get a lot of people "going to prison" in the future so the scripts will include questions to out the fakers, who want to cancel without trouble.

It seems pretty solid as an approach. The messaging I heard in an e-book they just released on it says this is everything we learned so far internally at Microsoft but also from our consulting services with other enterprises.

From what I’ve seen I think the abstractions they have focused on make a lot of sense and do a LOT to reduce the complexity of my own applications from both a code and operational point of view.

I’m excited to actually try it and see what the experience is like for someone coming strictly from the monolith world.
And the italians? I m french but I sure look a lot more like an Italian than a german.

The mongrel nature of Britain is common for all multi border countries... and many are even Germany or Spain.

I think we should really define countries by language, mountain and seas rather than blood, and frankly even those are shaky and changing.

Maybe the best definition of a country is the largest geographical gradient that could sustain influence from a gigantic power centre without succumbing to another (for me, Paris, for the brits, London)?

> I applaud the Australian government for standing up for itself regardless of the underlying law

The first and second half of that sentence really need to be separated; "standing up for yourself" via the use of power when you're in the wrong is just bullying.

But it's an interesting point; a big part of the "Facebook is a danger to democracy" stuff is about the sharing of misinformation on there, and zapping all the news on there has removed some of the most toxic and dangerous content. Especially all the News Corp stuff - from the organisation driving this law in the first place.

However, it's not so much throwing the baby out with the bathwater as launching both baby and bath into the sun.
No no, I'm not implying that at all, I'm just sick of the impression people get that good old ozzy politicians doing the brave thing against facebook.

When in reality its completely out of context.
But again, Murdock's narrative.
Facebook is some kind of news aggregator for some people. It is a big move.

Ah, that's not good. I have version 2 and it's still going strong.
This is the coolest part of the mission IMO.

My big question is where does it land? Does it dock with the rover? It seems to power itself via a solar array. About 100 days into the mission they plan on launching the helicopter for the tiny lifespan window.

I think the limit on its lifespan is really, "How long until destroyed by wind/dust". And then how long until it cannot charge its own batteries/sustain itself.

I hope Epic loses in a spectacular way.

At this point, if Apple is forced to allow third parties, I'll lose one of the best time savers I have in my life. Having switched all of my family and close relatives to Apple gives me the freedom of not having to provide almost any support. They are trained to use the platform (and its UI has been stable for years), and I can trust that they won't do anything too crazy just because [insert social network] or [crappy game in vogue] want to sideload a lot of bloatware and spyware on their phones.

When they had android phones, I would get regular phonecalls that went like this:

"My friend X has an app that does [irrelevant stupidity that requires full permissions], how can I do that?"
"You shouldn't, this will have access to all of your info"
"I don't care, just tell me how to do it"

Then 2 weeks later I'd get another call complaining of how full of ads everything is when they try to open a browser. I tried to disuade them by saying "Your phone can't do that", but that just meant that they ended up changing phones, because now they feel that their phone is inferior.

When they switched to iPhones, i can just tell them "Your phone doesn't do that", and they had no problem. They realized that bragging for 10 minutes was an idiotic thing to do anyway, and they felt great, because they still have a flagship phone, "it's an iPhone!".
> I guess we're not really talking about links so much as a headline

As far as the proposed law is concerned, it seems we're talking about any kind of linking. https://www.accc.gov.au/focus-areas/digital-platforms/news-m...

> "a proposal is developed to recognise original covered news content when ranking and displaying news content on the digital platform service;"

It's very vague.
The idea of Facebook without news honestly sounds wonderful. Only original posts (without any news, links, shares, or any content that's been posted before to avoid memes) would probably be the optimal experience. Where do I sign up for an Australian version of Facebook, without news?
umm, just use the Apple App store then... and let others have a choice
So I'm not alone. I really can't understand the appeal of a mechanical keyboard.

- They are loud

- They are expensive

- The keys are massive and ugly

- Massive travel time (So slow to type on)

Sure they are a bit more customizable, but is that really worth all the drawbacks? Especially the worse typing, which is the main point of a keyboard.

If you are a mechanical keyboard fanatic, and my comment angered you, please know that was not my intention. I really don't see the appeal, and I haven't been able to find any advantages (mentioned online or by asking friends that have them). I would love it if someone could explain to me what the actual advantages are, and/or why I am wrong on any of the points I mentioned.
Thinking about it, I honestly think my Majestouch might be the oldest thing I own. 10 years of almost daily usage and I wouldn't be surprised if it did 10 more.

I did replace the keycaps with PBTs in 2015, as the stock ABS caps were fairly worn, but other than that no maintenance really.
> The newly printed money is indeed "credit", over which interest is always paid... to the rich private institutions with dibs on printed money.

The newly printed money is credit to the private institutions, who must repay the printed money with interest. You're not getting a system less skewed towards the rich by replacing that liability with one towards high net worth individuals or hedge funds instead...
It actually restricts the number of items you can sync. It is much cheaper though. Actually; with the new model they do have a sort of ad based system; they have this incredibly dumb popup about how some passwords might be compromised. Oddly even after paying its impossible to kill that banner.
It's true that total latency is what matters, and minimising latency by sitting near one of them and taking advantage of low-latency connections between exchanges sounds reasonable.

If you get your news from Facebook, you aren’t getting good news. This is a win for the world - less manufactured outrage getting pumped into the brains of the people. Maybe news publishers in Australia can go back to quality journalism and selling subscriptions.
I don't see antitrust legislation being a real factor to anyone. Several companies have gone trillion dollar market valuation and several decades without such action. Even if Microsoft had a crystal ball of the future legislation when they were starting up they probably wouldn't have changed a thing. Antitrust in modern history is a thing without teeth when used and almost never used.

(I say this as someone who 100% wants market regulation that actually reinforces the natural market efficiencies - including sane, forceful antitrust legislation.)
It's not without any links. Just without links to primarily-news sites with revenue $100k+/yr.
Correct. The intersattelite laser link is still vaporware at this point, and I’d wager always will be. It turned out to be a much more difficult problem than they originally anticipated, and so they’re basically not doing it. I will be very surprised if it ever happens.
Yes, but their margin is kinda-sorta certain, while speculants who buy the product run risk of sudden price collapse. No one will bail out Bitcoin speculants if it happens, they are no government's buddies.

In other words, it is another globalized and pretty efficient market, but without outright slavery or serfdom on the chain beginning. Compared to guano mines or Potosi mines or even today's cobalt mines in Congo, the first humans in the chain are not miserable.

Why are people willing to give traditional news media propaganda unfair advantage compared to public to game the algorithm? (This is part of the new bill)

The entire thing will make Google a propaganda machine for news corp and other media giants as Google can neither rank them low nor remove them from search results and be forced to pay to sustain them.

Why are people willing to protect ad ridden news industry when they hate big tech adware so much? What's the difference? Shouldn't you be against both? Have you seen how bad trackers on news site are? I would rather use Google than generic news site full of trackers from everywhere.

Everyone wants to stick it to big tech but big media is suddenly good?

Every newscorp owned site is a cess pool of nazi defender and propaganda.

Any legislation which targets specific companies so blatantly isn't good. Anything which sets a precedent for paying for linking to someone isn't a good idea.

Come up with better anti trust laws instead of whatever this is and target every big tech company.
I'm a computer programmer that has started reading Schumpeter's "History of economic analysis", but I think not even a guy like Schumpeter could have explained why at some point in 2019 more than $17 trillion were returning negative rates (and I don't think that sum has decreased by all that much).
FPGAs are extremely commonly used in the RF telecomm space. You don't implement a multiplier in the free-form FPGA fabric, instead such FPGAs have banks of 'DSP blocks' which essentially give you hard silicon ALUs which you can then hook up however you want. This gives you extremely flexible and potentially massive parallelism with very tight latency guarantees, and you don't lose a huge amount of performance because most of the heavy lifting is in hard silicon anyway. Also FPGAs excel at high bandwidth I/O, which is usually extremely important in these use-cases. A DSP or even a GPU might give you more FLOPs per W or $, but they'll usually struggle with latency.

The quad-code A53 CPUs with FPGAs sounds like Xilinx's RFSoCs, which are explicitly designed to basically give you a custom high-performance base station on a chip (though they can't directly convert to the frequency range Starlink is using).
Our screenshot tool provides additional functionalities and predefined templates, which allows users to share stunning images and by saving them on codekeep , users can link to those screenshot, where users can select the code and copy it as needed.

You can add emojis, custom images, place logos of your favourite programming language or service, add twitter/facbook instagram handles, custom background.

Apart from the screenshot module, codekeep allows you to store and share code snippets, most of the ui is inspired from google keep and i have added more features on top of that, we named it codekeep (google keep for code snippets).

Not really nationalism in my case. Shipping to my country (EU) costs 115$, more than the keyboard itself.

Besides the shipping costs, there's also customs and VAT. So for a 100$ I'll probably end up with paying 300$. So yeah, not gonna happen, too bad Unicomp doesn't have a EU reseller.
It seems fast enough but once you enter an actual directory of code where it needs to get the version of node, kotlin, package, etc it slows down noticeably. I've ended up disabling most packages because it is absurd to (I assume) be running node --version every time a prompt is generated.

It's a shame they can't do these things asyncronously or cache them.

M1 Macs are not like Intel macs, Apple have done a dismal job of documenting them, and their "for users" tooling is still buggy and broken because the launch was clearly rushed.

Here is what you need to know to actually understand these things:

The SSD has 3 partitions. Each partition is an APFS container. Each container contains multiple APFS volumes.

Your OS, and everything you care about, is on the second partition/container.

The first partition contains boot configurations. The third partition contains the One True Recovery OS (1TR), which includes the Boot Picker menu (that thing you get when you hold down the power button). These partitions form part of system firmware, think of them as part of UEFI/BIOS. Do not touch these. If you mess up those volumes, the only way to recover the machine is via Apple Configurator 2 from another Mac (DFU mode).

Disk Utility, the GUI, is broken sometimes. If something doesn't work properly there, ditch it and use the command line.

Both Disk Utility, the GUI, and diskutil, the CLI, will hide the first and last APFS containers from you to stop you from shooting yourself in the foot. They're still there, just hidden from the main listing. You can get info for them. Be careful with that.

To do OS reinstalls, you want to be in 1TR. This is not the macOS recovery. Hold down the power button and pick Startup Options from there. Then you can use diskutil (preferably the command line version). You should delete the whole APFS container (disk0s2 usually) corresponding to your install, which will contain multiple volumes. Re-create it as APFS. That will create a container with one volume. You can then install to it and the macOS installer will create all the other volumes.

Additionally, the SEP data is stored separately from the OS (in one of the volumes of the first container). To wipe that, after wiping the partition and before reinstalling, run `xartutil --erase-all`. I've never tried that myself, and I suspect it's not really required because a reinstall should start with a fresh store, but it's probably a good idea to try if you have authentication/user-related issues after reinstalling.

There is also OS recovery, which is the recovery instance that comes with an OS install. It looks exactly the same as 1TR, but it's not the same, and this is highly confusing. For any serious digging around, you want to be in 1TR. Booting holding down the power button will get you there, usually; after a failed macOS boot I've seen it go into regular recovery anyway. To be absolutely sure, boot into 1TR (holding down power, then startup options), then do a clean shutdown, and boot again the same way.

Australian here. Laws absolutely apply on the internet - if you can enforce them. FB here decided that Australia __could__ enforce this law, and chose to comply with it by not hosting links that the law would require them to pay for. If the LNP was actually serious about "controlling" foreign multinationals or "protecting" local businesses, they would simply enforce the tax obligations for these companies correctly. Note that Newscorp avoids tax in Australia [0], yet somehow they are owed money by FB for the privilege of having their content distributed on FB's graph?

Why is the money not equally distributed over all people? Or indeed, that would be the same as allowing for deflation (but maybe then we'd keep the money worth the same in terms of big macs which has benefits), as is happening with Bitcoin. Saving makes sense then, as with Bitcoin. Maybe then we don't need crippling mortgages anymore, because then banks are not the only entities that can afford houses by "Whoop" signing a 500k debt into existence, which is subsequently used to enslave us for ~30 years as we pay interest (because the banks don't want to feel the inflation) on an amount that is just, just withing reach of saving for 30+ years on an average salary, 2 if you're just starting and missed on the latest insane price increase driven by the lack of newly build houses and an unsustainably low interest.
