But this is such a straw man. Nobody at Greenpeace is suggesting we use natural gas to hydrogen at scale. It's part of diversifying the energy economy in ways that _can_ be sustainable in future. This is a way of pump priming an infrastructure that can make (even) more sense of renewables and solve distribution headaches.
What's the tl;dr?

Buy any router, but replace its software with dd-wrt or openwrt?
Wouldn't that be inefficient? The software would then have to parse a json string after the sqlite query.
It still blows my mind that Mastodon was explicitly made to escape the 'dictator companies' of closed social networks but that many of the apps made for Mastodon contain blacklists.
I don't agree with the content of said blacklisted Mastodon instances and I agree that developers can do whatever they want with their app, but blacklists seem painfully obviously against the spirit of what Mastodon is supposed to represent.
This is not true. Yes, Android users tend to pay less for apps, but useful apps that provide daily utility actually make good money as well.

If you have a brand-name app like Runtastic, Netflix, Headspace or whatever, the platform doesn't really matter. You buy the product, because you want it.

It's probably different for utility apps like a different Camera, a photo editor, small productivity apps you need only once per month.

I'm happy about this change and it will definitely affect my bottom line in the range of several thousand euro per month – and I'm an indie dev.

Edit: I just looked it up and calculated the difference. I will make roughly 17,000€ more per year through this change.
All credit to them for not suggesting their own format or storing the data values in (shudder) JSON.
"But whereas one mushroomed into a trillion-dollar company, the other has remained a midsize nonprofit"

A midsize nonprofit that works. As it provides the technical foundation of Wikipedias Community - who are the ones to provide the actual value. So everything is pretty much working as is should be. Why on earth would anyone want Wikipedia to be a trillion dollar company?

Companies are after profit. Going after profit - and providing information free (and adfree!) to the world are contrary things.

So finding ways to generate extra money, while not changing the core - why not. But this sounds a bit too vague - and with potentially lots of money involved - dangerous, when they get dependent on it. Money buys influence. Not something I want in the worlds encyclopedy.
The reason why is right in plain sight: because most women aren't actually interested in tech jobs. And before you start fuming and downvote me, go look at Scandinavian countries (countries that have the most gender equality in the world) and look at the gender disparities in tech/nursing/schoolteacher jobs. It's not the 50/50 utopian vision you think it is.
The protobuf vs msgpack benchmarks are not too bad. Msgpack performs very decently.

OpenWRT support does not come free. There are volunteers that need to spend lots of their personal time so that a consumer router may get reasonably good support in OpenWRT.

Whole range of chipsets with no free software support are immediately excluded from OpenWRT.
He is in the UK. He says "Take the company I work for as an example, there are about 7 black people in the whole company, a company of 250+ people." The UK is 3% black. 7/250 is equal to 0.03. So you are totally correct. This is not "abysmal" representation, it is the expected representation. For now, Europe is inhabited by over 90% Native Europeans which are white.
If you think I missed your point, perhaps you should consider rephrasing it to make it more obvious.
This part stood out to me:

> Every weekday - 1 hour post work

> Every weekend - 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday each

> Done over 4.5 months, so total = 234 hours

As an almost-40-year-old that has minor coding experience (but wants to do / learn more) I find that time is the component that's the most difficult to overcome. I have a wife, a 5 year old, a house... all of which require time. Getting 4 hours _per day_ on a Saturday / Sunday combination to be able to focus is nearly impossible for me unless I wanted to completely forgo spending time with my wife and son (and even then it might not be possible due to responsibilities as a parent / home owner).

On the flip side of this discussion: his breakdown and explanation of the walls you hit and the feeling of excitement an elation when you pass them really stuck out to me as something not often talked about enough. Learning is a commitment and requires dedication. The author did (IMO) an amazing job talking about his experience with that and how he worked to overcome those obstacles.
In the long run, I wonder if all video will be signed via blockchain-or-other-trusted-3rd-party. You'd need everything from the camera to the the editing software to support it though.
Line app allowed Chinese firm to access personal user data
i don’t think that increased access to “top tier” men is the root cause of this feeling. it seems to me like choices for women around partners were largely made for them for most of history. this led to men from wealth and power to define the “good” traits. the traits we defined were largely based on status.

now that access to people with these traits is no longer based on who a woman’s guardian knows, but what’s available in the market a lot of dudes feel left out.

i really think this is an issue men caused, entrenched into our society, and then shot themselves in the foot when they lost control of the market supply.

if you don’t want the 80/20 thing to exist, stop furthering the narrative and push for non-physical traits to have the greatest value. i think an emotionally available, driven and focused, and caring person is way better for a partner than a hot rich one. as long as most people don’t feel that way we are stuck in the system we built ourselves
is the Fritzbox available in the us?

it's an excellent security maintained choice in europe, for combined cable or dsl modem, router, wifi access point, nas device, phone switch and voice mail box.
I'm assuming they just write code in a compatible way. It's not _too_ dificult, but it does add a lot of version checks everywhere. For example, you can use a lot of Python 3 features in Python 2 via the future package.
Search for Tanzania’s ‘missing’ President continues amid opposition query
You can treat the ISP's router as bare, hostile internet and put the router of choice behind it. Disable their WIFI if you can, but don't use it. Plug an ethernet cable from your router's WAN port to one of the ISP router's LAN ports. Your router's WAN side will get one DHCP address from the ISP's router. Your LAN side and firewall rules are however you like them, on your router. This whole thing is called "double NAT-ing" -- search for that term for a how to guide.
Slap Linux on an old desktop, buy a 4 port PCI NIC, setup nftables/dnsmasq, and as a bonus become addicted to self hosting.
They will drop python 2 support completely in SQLAlchemy 2.0. That's at least how I read it.
How exactly would I go about avoiding consumer routers when every provider in my area forces me to get some kind of modem with built in router and wifi?

It is a ridiculous situation, but I actually have our provider-provided router connected straight into a real firewall, and that in turn connected to a switch which in turn has the wifi base stations connected to it.

This means that if the first router is compromised there is a chance it won't penetrate the household, but of course the first router could still be used e.g. as part of a botnet by an attacker.

"Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment" - it was candidly named, if nothing else.

> Indeed, Goebbels initially opposed the term propaganda, recognizing that in popular usage, both in Germany and abroad, it was associated with lies.

Its actually not a statement about what I personally do, it gives context to why black Americans and other minorities would and have, at the surprising surprise to seemingly everyone.

The “right” simply does other things and a core part of that is rejecting virtue signaling even if that results in apathy that perpetuates adversity.

People are willing to choose the right, in absence of other choices, partially because it more honestly matches the last 250 years of apathy by all administrations. Where its clear there is a kind of vapid reckoning occurring in the left that simply assumes their minority constituents are all struggling victims that cant possibly be interested in any nuanced platform. And there’s just other things that Americans can be interested in like certain trade deals or certain people confirmed into government positions or something completely irrelevant. Your own snarky comment really suggests only some people have the privilege of playing the game of America. Within America, people on the left have trouble believing minorities could have any interest in that, as in the Democratic Party doesn’t factor it in at all, while their ranks are filled with posers who are willing to weaponize their understanding of race at a moment’s notice, no different than a self-proclaimed supremacist.

The Banks already has anti fraud detection systems in place to detect Roaming attacks. They can see whether number is Roaming enabled or not.

The Telecoms do prevent it with Firewalls.

Some, but CO2 is not the only concern here. Greenpeace is a broad-spectrum environmental campaign group.
As I've commented elsewhere, I'm not inherently anti-nuclear, but cost is not the only issue. The political and institutional demands nuclear places on societies are substantial — and I don't see much evidence anyone has risen to them yet. Even big pro nuke places like France don't have fully funded schemes to decommission old nuclear plants. And in the US money taxed from generators has been corruptly spent on other things... Whether it's "fair" or not, this is a strike against nuclear because until we can safely decommission plants and store waste it's unproven tech and the costs (including externalities) are not fully known.
I use wikipedia rarely. Look at the communism page :

”Excess deaths under communist party rule have also been discussed as part of a critical analysis of communist party rule."

Excess deaths? This is dishonest. Over a hundred million human beings have died because of communism. More die every day in China.
Launch HN: Homebase (YC W21) – Rent-to-Own Home Financing in Southeast Asia
Hi HN! I’m Phillip, one of the co-founders of Homebase (http://homebase.com.vn/). Homebase is trying to make it possible for anyone to afford a home in Southeast Asia without being rich through providing a better alternative to traditional mortgages in the region which are inflexible and have 12%+ interest rates/year.

We decided to start Homebase from our own first-hand experience with unaffordable home financing. My co-founder JY was looking to buy a home in Vietnam and was searching for a suitable mortgage; however, he was shocked to see that prices were exploding (Q1’19 saw a 22% YoY price increase in Saigon apartments), mortgages are super hard to qualify for (he’s been a serial-VC-backed, albeit broke, entrepreneur for the past several years) and that essentially no affordable alternatives exist other than saving up, or having rich parents.

For me, home-ownership has always been a deeply personal issue growing up in an immigrant family aspiring towards the ever elusive vision with a white picket fence. Before Homebase, I spent several years wrestling with crazy prices in SF/NYC/Singapore even while working at companies like Goldman Sachs/McKinsey and was fascinated by VC-backed rent-to-own solutions like ZeroDown and Divvy Homes popping up in the US. (We’re super fortunate to be backed by the founder/CXO’s of both of them today).

Today, we’ve done several million in property transactions even during but are just in the beginning in our vision to make homeownership across Southeast Asia. We’ve had clients tell us deeply personal stories like that: “Homebase allowed me to buy a home that reduced my kid's commute time to school from 30 min to walkable. The previous apartments we were looking at in the area were out of our price range - but now with Homebase's help, I can drop my kids off at school every morning with this extra financing.”

If the mission of what we’re doing resonates well with you, I would love to chat and see if we can work together. Otherwise, we’re excited to hear your feedback, and questions!

I’ll be responding to comments all day, or please feel free to shoot me an email at phillip@gethomebase.com.
How to build a product roadmap everyone understands
A lot of ISP routers have the option to disable everything except the modem, often called "bridge mode". Avoids double NAT.
What's the relationship between the October 2020 case in Iowa and this February 2021 case in Texas:

> A neurologist from Methodist and an ear, nose and throat doctor diagnosed her with pneumocephalus days later. Pneumocephalus is when there has been a rupture in the dural membrane, or the lining that’s around the brain, which allows air to enter the space that’s normally occupied by the head.
I'm not sure that entertainment will keep getting cheaper. Where I live, sports and concerts seem to be getting more expensive for the top bracket in each case (pro sports and major international musical artists). We're subscribed to four TV/film streaming services and a music streaming service, that when combined start to add up and aren't getting cheaper. If you own the most recognised franchises and stars, people will pay.

YouTubers would be a counterpoint to that, I guess?

I think prepared food should at least get cheaper as it's dependent on commercial kitchens and staff, two things that will see a lot of change.
Quite the incel take on "biology" and the female attention market... I mean for not being on one side and all. Comments like this scare me.

That's mind boggling. All my life I've been able to call central dispatch and order a taxi to a pick-up address of my choice.
I consider myself as a regular person and I am hit by the highest bracket and my take home is like 55% of what I make. This severly inhibits the projects I develop. It is supposed to make the rich pay more but they have ways around it and most pay themselves in dividends which are taxed differently (surprise surprise) or just use offshore cards.
The CCP demands access to data for users in China.

Larry Sanger has been a severe critic of Wikipedia for nearly its entire life.

Even putting aside his personal bias, the article you cite is not particularly convincing.

As key examples, he compares the Wikipedia pages for Barack Obama (generally positive) and Donald Trump (generally negative) as evidence of failed neutrality.

Any definition of neutrality that requires all political figures to be equally criticised and praised would result in a resource that simply has no value. Should the article about Hitler really balance for and against arguments concerning the Holocaust?
To clarify, I think you're right, and that all the disagreement about cancel culture really boils down to semantic arguments about what the word "cancel" means and whether it is subjectively fair or unfair in a given situation. I would argue that voting someone out of office is a democratic way of literally cancelling them.
Due to my phone running low on storage I've had to uninstall some apps lately and switch to the mobile web version. In the process, I realized that many of these webapps effectively worked almost identically to their app counterparts with only very minor differences that didn't impact my usage at all.

Actually for some of them the main difference is that the webapp will push very hard for you to install the app with various popups while the app won't. You're basically being harassed into installing the app.

You can also call your ISP to put the modem-router in bridge mode. This will basically turn off all of its features and just have it pipe internet access from its LAN ports. If you do this, remember to go ISP router LAN port > personal router WAN port, as you won't be protected by the ISP router firewall anymore.
So update it?
Yes, this. Is SMS used as a login/OTP (additional to your password - e.g. to make a bank transaction), or can be used as a 'trojan'/backdoor to compromise your account?
This attack is based on a Routing network not SS7.

CDMA carriers don't use SS7 for SMS unless you're on Roaming.

>" Do you know a lot of "left" people who actively speak against the "woke" crowd?"

Bill Maher is a fairly prominent liberal who has been vehemently anti-woke. This is regular fodder on his Friday night HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher as well in his regular standup comedy.
A lot of folks are poo-pooing this, and maybe rightfully so, but you have to admit this is pretty damn cool. Besides the narrow-framed application it's interesting that it was even discovered.
For what it's worth, I'm white and this happened to me countless times because I had a french licence plate that wasn't from around the border.
Banks cannot see if a number is in roaming or not, unless the phone company explicitly tells them through some means.

I so far never heard of anything like this.
Only about half of the funding comes from local sources.

> On average, 8% of revenues are federal, 47% from the state, and 45% locally sourced.

And this varies widely from state to state.
But can't Google avert this by paying off politicians? You know, with the legalized-bribe political contributions that are so popular?

Anyway, Google's hold on mobile ecosystems is really a menace. So much so that it's difficult to even tell apart Google Play the store, Google Play the service(s), Google Play the library(/ies), and whatever else they call by that name.
I get the feeling sometimes that language is unstable in the absence of outside forcing.

Stupid, moron, retard. People start using them as a pejorative and so a new neutral term is required.

Lavatory, toilet, water closet, bathroom. People don't like talking about poo so they keep using euphemisms to describe the room where it happens. This one is a favourite of mine as some people find 'toilet' distasteful despite it being the furtherest from the actual action taking place.

Very, literally. Not sure where this one is headed, but if it's happened at least twice, it'll shift again some time.

Are we doomed to keep shifting language to keep up taboos and keep the meaning of words which naturally will shift?

On the contrary, the idea in the fediverse is that you choose a server that aligns with your needs and preferences. You can always run your own promiscuous instance if you want.

This is in contrary to the status quo, where the vertical integration makes it practically impossible to choose a differently filtered view.

Over time I'm sure we'll see curation markets for filter lists, think adblock lists but tied to some collaboration, voting, incentive mechanisms and reputation system.

OpenWRT is no panacea. It generally doesn't support higher throughput modes in wireless radios in said routers and I need these features (thick walls, wifi first devices, etc.).
For a while copies of Windows sold in Europe let the user choose which browser would be installed by default during the setup process.

Why do people call themselves Black in a first place? Neither calling someone White or Black is accurate - perhaps why we have: Brown? Calling someone Yellow, I think, is still considered offensive though.

Indicating your belonging by color confuses. Color is such a crude indicator as it groups individual certain way, whether one wants it or not.

Overall, color coding, or grouping people by how well their skin is absorbing light, removes part of personal autonomy.
WARNING:

The source for this script is very strange; it looks like the output of a minifier/obfuscator, or otherwise machine generated. The entire script uses single character variable names, and most expressions have all optional whitespace removed.

Regardless of the "minified" style, the source is also missing double quotes on approximately 80% of variable expansions. The special variable expansion $@ and its array equivalent ${arr[@]} are regularly used unquoted, which does NOT preserve word splitting boundaries across whitespace like the $* ; this will cause bugs!
You're using traditional statistical requirements rather than Covid-specific standards. For example, we count anyone as a Covid death if they happen to have the sniffles when they walk in front of a bus (with, not of).

It's important to include events like this else it gives some fringe groups ammunition to understate the seriousness of the pandemic.
Literally anything. Options turning out to be very valuable. Getting acquired by a company you really wanted to work for. Randomly getting promoted. Meeting someone who will get you that FAANG job via a backdoor. Meeting someone you'll go on to create a successful business with. Maybe even meeting someone who will teach you to be very good at these competitions.

Point is, if one completely drops out the chance of any of that happening is basically 0. If you stay involved in one way or another, it may happen.
Twitch removed the tag "blind playthrough" because someone complained that it might be offensive to blind people. Of course the person complaining wasn't blind, they just thought they were doing a good deed. Absolute idiots all of them, both the person complaining and Twitch for following with it.
