So your qualm is low quality biometric scanning, not biometrics itself? So we agree that biometrics are the most secure form of authentication and we are only debating on the quality of the technology, which we know is getting better day by day, yeah?
Looks pretty cool, I've been using this logging setup that prints queries to the console, but it gets a bit verbose

import logging
l = logging.getLogger('django.db.backends')
l.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
l.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())

Fish is my shell of choice for a couple years now. Not because it's the perfect shell, but because it's a lot better than any other for interactive shells.

For scripting I still stick to bash because it's more portable and I already know how to cope with its warts. And sometimes when I can't remember the fish syntax by heart, I just launch a bash from inside fish to run my command and then Ctrl-D :-)

Choose one of those and focus on it. Make a campaign around it, create a Facebook group. Study the topic and argue for it and finally try and get elected to make a change.
Well, for all we know it doesn't exist yet. I personally dislike the idea of calling it a catastrophe. It will drive large cultural shifts against our will.
Web-based apps? Otherwise you're at the mercy of Google and Apple.
You should aim to grow out your e-commerce career. Companies like Amazon make the greatest difference to climate change as improved logistics benefits the entire supply chain. Mom and pop shops are great for romanticism and NYT hit pieces about the terrors of gentrification and white flight but their logistics are incredibly inefficient compared to efficiencies of scale offered by e-commerce. "Micro" low hanging fruit efforts like data visualization which these comment threads tend to favor make little difference. Grassroots won't solve climate change, you need changes in technologies that allow the emerging economies to no-strings-attached capture the value and benefits of economic growth without the side effects of pollution (that means convincing or forcing institutions like the World Bank/IMF to replace their onerous neoliberal funding requirements with only one: green technologies), you need systematic changes in federal policy, and you need restructuring of company operations to be more efficient. As a software engineer, the most effective thing that you can do is the latter.
An STM32 is several orders of magnitude more powerful than an 8051 (or a 6052) though.

An ice car with only 200 mile range? I don't think I have ever had a car with so little range in 45 years of driving. And that includes a petrol 5 litre V8 Chevy van. My 2015 Tesla S 70D does about that.

My understanding was that a rocket is developed around its engines. What engines are you designing on top of?

Are you only developing the second stage? If so, what first stage are you planning to launch off of?

What is your target payload mass to LEO?

And, well, where does your company fit in a post-SpaceX Starship orbital economy?
This is not shitty code, single letter names have their place, and are absolutely fine here.

> We tried to go cheap on another of our TVs and get an Amazon Fire Stick and in addition to it being not as smooth (combo of UX and speed) at the Apple TV, it had a good amount of ads all over the place.

If we're talking about the original, non-4k Fire TV Stick, then yes. The 4k version is speedy, but still laden with ads.

I recently purchased a Roku Streaming Stick Plus ($39 USD on Amazon — that's ~20% the price of an Apple TV) because I found out that they natively supported AirPlay 2. If you're looking for an ad-free experience, VPN out to an unsupported country and create a Roku account there. You'll be able to add less "channels", but Roku also stops trying to hard-sell you on subscriptions.
> Bonus points for a C-inspired syntax rather than an abstract-mathematics-inspired syntax

Out of curiosity, could you give an example of what you find "abstract-mathematics-inspired" of Haskell's syntax? Is it just the one-letter identifiers (which is more standard practice than syntax), the symbols for function names (which remind me of C++'s "<<" and the like) or what?

My own personal opinion is that Haskell's syntax has some pitfalls with indentation, but other than that it's not particularly difficult. It's just not C-like, but that's a separate issue.

Similarly, Lisp-like languages have barely any syntax at all!
Here's a non-paywalled article: https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/28/autonomous-drone-maker-sky...
Maybe in 25 years.

As is, electrical car means new car and new car means an inane amount of software components that break all the time. Just pick any specific model, say, the Tesla S: You can find people being confused how to turn it off, the car not starting due to software updates, the car being hacked, the being bricked by broken software or lacking connectivity, erroneous warnings, the car only driving backwards due to low battery.

The simplest car is something like a 1998 Corolla and given the current trends in automotive, that will stay that way for a long time.
The downside is needing somewhere to charge them. The poor don't tend to live in houses that you can easily plug an EV into.

They'll have to go somewhere else to charge up, that will charge a premium.

Twenty legal battles that stand out across Ars’ 20 years of covering them (2019)
I just have a setuid root sudo binary (compiled from sudo-touchid: https://github.com/mattrajca/sudo-touchid) in my home folder ~/bin. This has worked a treat across OS updates, without hacking PAM stuff. It’s extremely convenient and has probably saved me cumulative hours in typing out my long password :)
Many of us use it, I personally in my daily basis development Fish shell is pretty neat and increases productivity in terminal. However I still use Bash in the server side where I need for example, explicit error aborting like `set -e` that Fish doesn't have yet. https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/510
We're switching on the Webflow CDN, hopefully that will fix it.
A lot depends on state and local laws. In San Francisco, for example, I get interest on the security deposit my landlord is holding credited to my rent every year. They cannot charge for reasonable wear and tear. So even though the deposit is large, I expect ~100% of it back when I leave. If not, there is a strong tenants union that will support my case.
Is it okay to support Shopify theme on my own platform?
shopify theme uses liquid , which is a mit license, templating engine. Technically, I can fork the engine and modify it to support all shopify's tags and filters (https://www.shopify.com/partners/shopify-cheat-sheet), but for my own ecommerce platform. This way I don't have to worry about building themes or lack of them. (I am not trying to build a clone of shopify, that wouldn't be smart.)

But would this be legal or any other consequences? I understand I won't be able to use theme directly made by shopify. But this will make theme development easy for other theme developers. And I will get to use their already-made themes. I don't see any reason why other theme developer would be against this idea.
Ecological damage and collapses occur well before we'd run out of resources. Just because we can encroach on more and more land, at the expense of the environment, doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

Big rainstorms are not news, yet most public sewer systems are totally unequipped to deal with them. Hot days in summer are not news and yet Amtrak is unequipped to deal with them (http://blog.amtrak.com/2015/06/heat-restrictions).

Around the country, there is a $4.5 trillion infrastructure backlog. https://www.asce.org/templates/press-release-detail.aspx?id=.... Almost all of that backlog is on the plate of public entities (road works, sewer works, bridges, etc.) Where do you live that the government has actually addressed crises that it faces in the present and has time to pro-actively address stuff scientists are talking about happening years in the future?

Yeah, maybe competent and pro-active bureaucrats at a government power utility would have avoided this problem. It also could have been avoided by running power plants on unicorn manure, which I hear has natural anti-freeze properties.
This is going to save you seconds, every year!
So... Is this working with mitigations on?
Am I correct that unlike owning a physical piece of artwork, "owning" the registration of a work on the blockchain only proves that no one else "owns" said work -- I suppose what makes this a trade-able financial asset -- but nothing is stopping someone else from seeing the work?
>I have never not got all of my bond back.

Then you're lucky - I've had enough friends in QLD and WA who have had their bond partially kept back because the landlord company thought they could get a few hundred or thousand for free. Usually the trick is to say that pre-existing damage was caused by my friends. It's impossible to defend from if you don't claim the damage when you move in!

I've personally only had one huge battle with the company as they thought our place was dirty when we moved out, despite spending two full days cleaning it (townhouse). I now always pay a cleaning company to avoid the hassle, but that's $100-200 not everyone can afford.

I found these 2018 numbers that say that 30% of bonds are not returned in Australia; https://www.finder.com.au/30-of-aussie-tenants-dont-get-thei...
Yes, it still falls to the same fate. It just has less intervention so it goes to that fate slower which means you can recover more energy from the system. Is the basic idea.

On the other hand, you can't type your fingerprint into a random link that you receive in your email.

I think modern devices that use biometrics to unlock a secret key are different from the old-school case of biometric authentication. If someone is storing a picture of your fingerprint, then of course they can replay that to impersonate you. But that's not what TouchID is doing -- it's just a chip that will only give up the private key if it detects your fingerprint. You have to have physical access to that chip, and a finger analog that will fool the chip into giving up the secret key, and then you can use that key to compromise things. But if you detect that, you just revoke the key, get a new device, and are good to go.

I don't have a great analysis for sudo. You want root on MacOS to do something like install a long-term compromise. Your regular user account already has your GMail session cookie and bank information, so sudo isn't really good for anything else; if you leave your unlocked laptop around somewhere, your Internet life is over. But if someone physically steals your finger so they can gain access to sudo and install a keylogger or something, you already know you're compromised -- your laptop and finger are gone, so you know something's up, defeating the purpose of a long-term compromise.

This attack can't be done remotely; if someone sshs to your laptop and wants to sudo, they can't just take a picture of your fingerprint and upload it... they have to physically touch the sensor on your laptop.

Overall, I think biometrics like TouchID / FaceID / U2F / WebAuthn are strictly better than passwords. They are super convenient. They can be revoked. They can't be phished. That's a huge win over passwords.
McCain wasn't born abroad any more than if he had been born in D.C.; he was born on a US Naval Base in a US Territory.

Also, a statute passed when he was running for President almost certainly could not have any effect on whether or not he was Constitutionally a natural born citizen.
> Do the black/brown folks they are speaking for even agree with these claims?

For the most part, yes. Black/brown communities have higher COVID infection and death rates, so sending children to school disproportionately harms Black and brown people, and a lot of them have expressed this exact concern.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. It could be that worrying about doomsday is an innate human trait, and that as the article asserts, certain types of worries are motivated by racism.

I still think it's a good idea to allocate some resources towards mitigating low probability, high impact events.
Can’t speak for the GP, but the most difficult part of Erlang isn’t the syntax, but trying to clear my mind of how I would design something in C#/Java and embracing/understanding OTP.

They're not finely-crafted machines, but if you get one that works they do fine for cameras built 40+ years ago.

> The division between the Industrial Revolution and the Second Industrial Revolution is a silly one in my opinion. The late 19th century is what I'm referring to, and it's the one with the most substantial economic growth.

The late 19th Century one was the Second Industrial Revolution, which led directly and fairly immediately into the late 19th Century Long Depression; the First Industrial Revolution was late 18th to early 19th Century (usually timed from about 1760), and since you are clearly specifically talking about the Second and not the First, it's odd that you say that you find the distinction silly.

> We had 70+ years with no central bank whatsoever

1870 (the generally accepted date for the start of the Second Industrial Revolution) to 1913 is only 43 years, and about half of those were the Long Depression.

Show HN: NASA Mars 2021 as full-scale VR puzzles
We built a VR game with giant 3D puzzles[0], and to celebrate the successful landing of NASA Perseverance rover on Mars, we just added an experimental mini-series of Mars 2021 puzzles:

- Perseverance rover at 1/3rd of the size

- Perseverance at full-scale. At full scale in VR, it's impressive! Bigger than I thought!

Screenshots for Perseverance VR puzzles: https://twitter.com/PecoPecoGame/status/1362880879966748679

- Ingenuity, the Mars Helicopter, at full scale. Again, full-scale in VR is a cool way to get a sense of the size of Ingenuity (spoiler: the body is smaller than what I expected, but the blades are huge comparatively! That's because the martian atmosphere is much less dense than the earth atmosphere.)

Screenshots for Ingenuity VR puzzle: https://twitter.com/PecoPecoGame/status/1365704324232454147

These are directly based on the official NASA models, so they have great accuracy.

There's one puzzle to play for each model, and you can cut your own puzzles in VR if you want.

The full-scale Perseverance puzzle has huge pieces! The wheels are enormous. It is also doubly experimental as you will need a really room-scale guardian to play. (or use vertical space!)

And the 1/3 scale Perseverance model is really nice to discover it from any angle.

The 54-piece puzzle that goes with the Ingenuity model is part easy, part quite hard! But I'm sure you'll do it if you like puzzles

Looking at the current trend, it's highly unlikely e.g. single casting, structural battery packs. Car companies are for profit, so they have every incentive not to make it repairable. What is more, they are some good arguments to be made against DIY when you have autopilot in the car.

Self-driving cars may help tough, probably 15+ years after it's legal.

Sure and I agree with that but that doesn't mean that armageddon isn't coming either. For example Climate Change and the Covid19 pandemic, both are examples of very real problems with the potential to severally harm/kill large numbers but both are dismissed with that attitude. I'm not sayin that the sky is falling in either case, though with Climate Change I can't imagine not thinking that, but if we continue to ignore them it's very likely that we will make human kinds worst nightmares come true.
I think the rest of their post after the part you quoted agrees with your point. So much of the US was designed or redesigned to only work for people who own cars but we still love to talk about them as if they were voluntary expenses ignoring the number of people who are one breakdown or accident away from unemployment & lack of access to healthcare.
There seems to have been a steady stream of posts hyping NFTs lately.

> In October 2020, Miami-based art collector Pablo Rodriguez-Fraile spent almost $67,000 on a 10-second video artwork that he could have watched for free online. Last week, he sold it for $6.6 million.

And I believe in several comments, it's been explained that fake "sales" (really transfers from someone's left hand to right hand) are really easy to implement in order to inflate the "price" of an NFT on the blockchain.

So did someone really part with $6.6 million for this token, and if so did that person actually earn that money, or just win it from the Bitcoin slot machine?
Trust networks or tools used to keep track of it all are only as effective based on the integrity of the physical accountability and security systems of a nation; if the people in power that you need to care to enforce/protect ownership, then however it's kept track of doesn't matter.
There is a lot more to Starship than just full reusability, and "full reusability" encompasses a lot of variables too. How quick is turnaround? What sort of refurb is required? How many times is it reusable? For SS/SH construction is also cheap, the raptor is a really efficient engine, they will have high cadence given a lot of room for mass manufacturing efficiency gains, they're intended to be durable, and even the fuel is really cheap. Methalox is really economical to work with, and fuel definitely matters for a fully reusable design aimed at lowering costs as much as possible. RP-1 isn't cheap, and also has coking issues unlike methane.

Of course with Neutron not expected to launch, even under Rocket Lab's target, before 2024 they may have answers for a lot of this. I see nothing about fuel for example, maybe they've been working on their own great methalox design. But either way, F9 isn't going to be the comparison by the time they really get going.
Wear and tear on the car would be an issue, even if you presume Tesla's can effectively drive themselves for free, Tesla still break down. I don't think I'd be okay with anything over an hour each way

No link? Reuters you are such a dinosaur!
People out there having bigger problems does not diminish your own. To me, getting my children into a good public school is a current problem which is giving me anxiety. Someone saying "that's not really a problem, at least you can afford to feed your kids" doesn't come off as helpful or ease my concerns.

Similarly, billions of poor people in developing countries would kill to swap places with the poorest American, but that doesn't mean the latter has a good life.
That's not bad UX. That's a product limitation (a conscious one I might say).
