Nope, the U.S. is backed by the U.S. military, the currency is a freeloader. Whether the currency was bits of string, fiat dollars or Bitcoin, the U.S. military would be the exact same size. Because the military doesn't run around like a body guard for dollar bills, it furthers America's sovereign interests wherever those happen to be located.
China is by far the largest emitter, dwarfing the next country (USA). China emit about as much as all of "the west" combined and will soon overtake them because they are still increasing and are likely to continue increasing for the next several decades while most of the west, even USA, emissions have been coming down for 15-20 years or more.

What's more, it's carbon intensity of production is bad, manufacturing something in China as opposed to a cleaner and more efficient country increases emissions. So it makes zero sense to give them subsidies that relatively disadvantage cleaner countries, as part of global efforts to reduce carbon.

> And the safest form of energy in the world when measured in terms of deaths per TWh of generated power.

My mind on this is is not settled, but how does this factor in the unknown future of radioactive waste? We're not even through 0.1% of the time it will remain a threat. Every single nuclear TWh comes with a debt that must be repaid over thousands of years. Ensuring the death toll from that remains at zero is basically impossible to guarantee right now.

I meant the original comment where you levied a personal attack against me. I stated my opinion in earnest. I've been posting on HN for better part of a decade, and you levy a personal assault on me. At any rate, I want you to understand: it's perfectly ok, and perfectly acceptable for there to be people in the world who have different opinions than you, and that does not make them a troll.

The above was my rationalization, with sources that you probably didn't bother to read, for my original comment where you made the personal attack and assaulted my character. At any rate, this conversation is done. Stay healthy and stay free, my friend.

Heh, let's be honest, Signal's isn't better (and I mean the desktop app, cause they don't have a web app). It randomly corrupts the sqlite database forcing me to set it up all over again, it takes a significantly long time to even do the setup process, and can't even do sms at all.
Valve seems to have like 6 developers that work there and since nobody seems to fucking manage the company (literally, this is how they operate) I am not surprised at all. How they managed to put together half life alyx at all is astonishing.
But no one is making you use signal, and the app is free, and this feature is opt-in. Still not seeing much of a conflict of interest. This guy owns signal, he can do what he wants, or so I thought a free market worked (?)
None that I've noticed. There was a small issue with wifi dropping intermittently, but a small tweak fixed that as well. I regularly lock the screen for long periods without issue.

The mechanism seems to be a search warrant. The FBI applied for a warrant to "search" all compromised Exchange servers in the United States, and to "seize" the illicit malware on those servers by executing a specified series of commands.

A few excerpts from the above link:

"FBI personnel now seek authorization to search the compromised Microsoft Exchange Servers and uninstall the web shells on those servers". (6th page of the PDF)

"This warrant authorizes the United States to seize and copy from Microsoft Exchange Servers located in the United States the web shells identified in Attachment A, and to delete the web shells from those servers." (11th page)

Because it's available in the cheap models, including a model (the Mac Mini) that costs about as much as the AMD 5850U cpu itself.

Also, I see the M1 as having 1733 (single) and 7652 (multi) GeekBench score, whereas the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U has 1414 (single) and 8140 (multi), so the M1 is quite faster in single core than it (22%) and close in multi-core (the AMD being 6% faster).

So what gives, and how does that fits with the numbers given by the grandparent?

There are plugins for importing into pass from all kinds of password managers. (https://github.com/roddhjav/pass-import#readme)

You could setup a cron job that polls 1Pass for your password CSV, imports the CSV into to pass, and commits the diff.

Caveat that I don’t know how robust 1Password’s API is, or indeed if they have one. You might need to do the “gimme all my passwords in a CSV” step through a GUI, or a very hacky puppeteer script.
Because so far Apple has only released entry level products with the M1. It’s pretty obvious that they will release higher end chips for higher end products later this year.
We don't know, we suspect that in the most optimistic scenarios. Without knowing the underlying mechanism. Without knowing the consequences of cultural change and industrialisation of the third world countries.

This is the finest kind of denialism, and it is really going to bite us hard in about a hundred years at most.

Of course I want to live in a world like that, just like I like living in a world where my neighbor is not allowed to just break into my house without consequences. Just like I like living in a world where people are not allowed to dump unbounded amounts of toxic waste into lakes and oceans.

We have regulation for what's allowed in food. Are you okay with that? Or do you prefer becoming an expert at food sciences so that you can test yourself that a food brand isn't trying to sell you something poisonous as a cost cutting measure?

That has never been the case without regulation. We made cars and airplanes, we added tomes of regulation to make sure cars and airplanes work well enough to keep the people dying directly from them at a minimum.

I didn’t come from much but I did have access to computers via relatives and my school district. That’s something not everyone has. The interest I developed at a young age led me to a very lucrative career. It does not threaten my white male ego to think that other people from more disadvantaged backgrounds deserve a chance to at least learn a little about the field.
Is it? I see Geenbench gives the M1 as having 1733 (single) and 7652 (multi) GeekBench score, whereas a AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U system has 1414 (single) and 8140 (multi), so the M1 is quite faster in single core than it (22%) and slower but close in multi-core (the AMD being 6% faster).

And that's with the M1 having 4 slow cores for better battery life / consumption (with 8 full speed cores it would obliterate the 5850U).
I think different people mean different things by "see the pixels." I can't imagine being able to see individual pixels on a 15" 4k display at laptop distances, but I can imagine being able to notice minor distortions in the outlines of text, or more discomfort than necessary when reading small text, as a result of lower pixel densities. That could be reasonably described as seeing the pixels.
Agreed, btrfs has been stable for a long time, aside from RAID5/6, which are going to be uncommon on a laptop or desktop computer. Unfortunately, 10 years ago this was definitely not the case, and btrfs hasnt been able to shake off that reputation among some people since then.

It supports PGP keys stored on yubikeys via OpenKeychain. There's talks of removing support for OpenKeychain in lieu of a homegrown implementation since OKC develoent has lost velocity. And their library interface can be a bit cumbersome.
Look at Japan, there things got more stable with the aging of the population. China isn't really an example for most of the world because CCP experiments screwed up more than just their age pyramid.

Also, taxes and pensions are very small problems compared to uninhabitable coastal regions, mass migrations and food shortages that climate change predictions show us.

There are pass extensions that encrypt the metadata but I don't know why they are not the default.
I'm glad it's working well for you. I used to use pass, but when I lost my gpg key I was able to recover most of my passwords through a mistake I'd made. After that I decided to switch to something where I wouldn't be able to screw up as easily, and bought 1password.

I still had an earlier gpg key, and had not reset all my passwords when I switched keys. I'd just re-encrypted them. This let me check out an old commit and decrypt all the passwords in it. A dumb mistake, but it showed me I'm not smart enough to use something that doesn't hold my hand more.
Japan to release Fukushima nuclear plant water into ocean after treatment
I find that Kubernetes is more complex than docker-compose, but still has advantages for production deployments. Things like rolling upgrades, config management, versatile services with label selectors (and readiness probes). I have been bitten multiple times by docker-compose reading a variable from my current shell environment instead of an env-file.

I'm no fan of Helm though, templating structured files just feels wrong. It clashes a lot with the built-in "valueFrom:" stuff built into Kubernetes; why couldn't Helm use similar "helmVar:" and keep being YAML?
You shouldn't have to give any rights up to use "societal infrastructure". By your logic, whatever group of people come to govern over society can demand any one's rights by virtue of every one using "societal infrastructure". The authoritarian ruling party of China could make exactly your argument to the Uighurs who complain about their treatment.
> vaccination means less social distancing sooner.

i guess you can put it like that.

from my understanding the vaccines do reduce the transmissibility of the virus, but they do not lower it to zero [0]. you can still get the virus, but with the vaccine your chances of needing hospitalisation drop to zero [1].

i guess this is why you still need to wear a mask, and still need to socially distance even if you are vaccinated [2].

Apple OS X GUI.

Everything is dumbed down and mixed with weird usage patterns just because they are different (actually because of patents).

Mouse right click?

Sorry, MS got the patent, so we will sell you Ctrl+click or two-finger click as a “better” alternative. Can’t make a two-button mouse as well, so you will need to lift your left finger for us to recognize that this click is actually meant to be a right click.

Window expand/collapse?

Sorry, someone probably holds a patent on that, so we will just make that button to switch app full screen, instead of maximizing a window. Don’t ask what the plus button does on a window - it just resizes it randomly.

Hit the Enter key to get into a folder in Finder?

Sorry, someone probably holds a patent on it, so please double-click or Mac+O.

Want to connect your iPhone X to MacBook 2007?

The green solution is to build technologies that become more efficient as people use them not less.
Increasing population levels in highly emitting countries whose populations have naturally leveled off or are decreasing is very bad too (not to mention all the other horrific problems with this neocolonial type of immigration).
In Italy it's the same, but we don't have so many pharmacies. I think it's quite a French thing.
Does anyone have thoughts on why there are so few documented reinfections if the risk is only cut by 84%? For instance this tracker only has 71 cases: https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/08/covid-19-reinfection-t...

If it's that subsequent cases are much less severe then the 84% figure may be significantly understating the protective effect of natural immunity.

ELI5 :

Application that are using fake review, fake company profile, giving misleading medical information seems to thrive on the App Store.

And it seems that not only there is little a customer can do to warn others ( 1 star reviews that are mentioning the deceptive nature of the application are not immediately visible and are still overwhelmed by the amount of allegedly fake 5 stars review, and Apple or the subsidiary they are using to manage the store seem to have removed a mean for the user to report an issue with the application )

This is aggravated by the appearance that the App Store should be trusted and is free from scam ( even if the amount is relatively small, 0.00N% is still more than 0% ), where it seem that review process only protect the user from security and potential privacy issue.

Most of people would believe Apple press communication and most Apple user would believe that their iPhone is safer than the other phone brand, thanks to Apple keeping an eye for quality and security.

Ask HN: Making Extra Money Online
Hey all,

A close friend of mine who is a recovering alcoholic is trying to get their life together and is finding it difficult to find a job in the current climate (Covid, broken foot, inconsistent recent work history, etc). Even being able to make enough to buy groceries would, I think, improve their headspace, so I was hoping some of you may have some suggestions on side gigs they could do online to supplement their income (e.g. Mechanical Turk).

Any input would be appreciated.

The story appears to be just that damages have now been set; the rest of the story is buried at the very bottom of the article:

Investigations of how the Ever Given became lodged sideways in
the canal are continuing. In a recent interview, Rabie suggested
the captain could have "made a mistake" with the ship's steering
or speed, according to Kyodo News.

He emphasized that the two Suez Canal pilots who were on board
to offer guidance were not ultimately responsible for making
decisions and dismissed the idea that strong winds had pushed
the ship off course.

Rabie did not cite any evidence or say how he arrived at
that conclusion.

Apparently this is just a repost of Kyodo News - https://this.kiji.is/753782748916957184?c=445918389795193953
