Tell me, which one of those countries realistically has the capacity to invade the United States ?

Which one is parking aircraft carriers off the coast of Florida ?

And it's vastly cheaper for these countries to impose their will via soft power. If anything making sure Americans have places to sleep will do more to ensure stability then posturing with overpriced jets.
My grandfather who was born in a poor country and was a farmer through out his life had a better life than these employees. Its a shame that decades (or should I say centuries) of productivity increases in US haven't trickled down in order for these employees to have better options than working at Amazon.
Don't know about the ps3 but the xbox one has efuses that get blown with most firmware update and prevent downgrading in any form, don't know whether any workaround has been found yet
Using a predictive model would be awful for the inspiration use case (must keep eye contact with the patient), but probably more convenient for most others.

Personally, I'd rather have the chords than have toggles—a keyboard should really be stateless. Even the existing rarely used states (num lock, caps lock) do more to cause me frustration than help.
Ah yes, I definitely intended a hat tip to Engelbart but I forgot to include it in the article. I reinvented it only semi-independently.

Opt-in user targeting could still be fine (like offline loyalty programs), and it would be healthier than the current norm of opt-out through ad-blockers.
"Its a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for em."

For some reason I figured Reuters and AP would be the last to go behind a paywall for the retail consumer. I remember those always being the safe neutral sources I could use in debate or extemporaneous speeches back on the debate/speech team in high school. Sucks it'll be harder to get access to now.
I have noticed a recent decline in the debugging features of FF -- downright buggy. View source shows a form I used 3 pages ago, not the form rendered. I now switch to chrome just for debugging.

Some things are not meant to operate at scale. Putting your mouth on the firehose of real human nature can’t be healthy for anyone.
There are some distinct but comparable Internet shopping experiences.

Every so often I think about buying some thingy or other, then get lost in a rabbit hole comparing all the options and sifting through fake reviews.

Sometimes I'll "come to", having wasted 45 minutes, close all the tabs, realising I never actually needed the thing anyway.
The PS4 firmware is encrypted with a per-console key embedded in the CPU, so to downgrade you would need a copy of the old firmware taken from the same console.

Technically you can downgrade to exploitable firmware but only if the system had exploitable firmware in the first place, and had its firmware backed up, before being updated.
Insufficient data - supports several modeks.

If you are trying to lose weight, shifting away from sugary & processed foods & meat to high-quality fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. can definitely increase your grocery bill while reducing your weight in a very healthy way. Food bill may go down by going directly to farmers, but travel & fetching costs increase.

Or, it could be an unhealthy shift towards more processed foods, costing more in factory work & transport, and you are seeing real inflation.

So, insufficient data to indicate inflation or not.
Have you ever used that? It looks interesting.
I’ve also read that many alcoholics are using alcohol to relieve their symptoms. The article was in relation to the homeless community.
It’s amazing to see what can be done via the application of centuries of Baguette Science
If people can transit to software dev in 12 months, then why a CS degree exists?
npm has a lot more to lose from being hacked than some random URL, I trust npm with my packages because they fix stuff when something like left-pad happens, the same is not true for every URL I'd have to import to build a deno package.
Ok, so that's how an emacs buffer works.
Shark Tank's O'Leary Says 'Made in China' Label on Bitcoin Keeps Some Funds Away
Direct TV created a gaming league called CGS that played CS:Source because it had better graphics than 1.6. It was the first time pro CS players in the US could get contracts (25-35k a year? It wasnt much). This league forced all of the top talent in North America to move to Source. The game was buggy, trash with horrible hitboxes, netcode, audio issues, cluttered maps (with actual trash in them) and unpredictable, overly-complicated physics.

Source hitboxes: https://youtu.be/fdRpYaQA8cU

At the time, many 1.6 players still had single/dual core CPUs and source would run at 20-80 fps, when gamers were just starting to get 100+ hz monitors. There was no mass migration of players, due to gameplay and performance issues. The game really wasn't ready for eSports level competition (and never improved to that point)

CGS failed after 2 years, and most of the pros retired afterwards.

During that time, the European 1.6 scene was flourishing. The death of the NA scene was a huge blow to international play. The compLexity roster that was drafted into CGS could have been one of the best NA teams of all time.

Fun fact, the first player drafted in CGS was a female.

I would propose four standard keys on side and a thumbstick on the top. Thumbstick is easy to operate and has at least 8 discernible directions, plus 8 half-pushes. That's more combinations than you realistically need so maybe you could relieve the pinky finger and use just 3 buttons.
> I think a lot of people get wrapped around the axle of having the "right" $500 microphone whereas there are a ton of decent USB mics under $100 that will make a big difference.

Yes! Even a Monoprice $20 dynamic mic is probably not going to be the weak point in your audio path.

> Also consider a good external webcam and doing something about lighting if you can.

Another great point. An Elgato Key Light Air is $130, and made a huge difference for me.
If the radiator was actually grounded, why would there be any effect on the water?
Data by Proxy – Material Traces as Autographic Visualizations
That was my first reaction too but it's growing on me! With IntelliJ on an external Mac keyboard (because, 2017 era MBP, yeesh) for some reason they didn't group the F keys. I mean at least there are F keys. So it's always stressful to try to step over, because the continue button is right next to it (F8 and F9) and it's easy to lose minutes of context buildup with one wrong button press. And then, HTF do you force-step-out? Is it Alt-Shift-F9? Cmd-Ctrl-F9? Alt-F9? Oh it's Shift-F8. But unfortunately by now I just relaunched the entire project.

It would be so cool to mount a Soviet nuclear control room type panel under my monitor with those keys spelled out. Oh and a mute button.
Imagine the possibilities using two hands.
This might be the most impactful letter Jeff has written so far. I admire Jeff for being a truly original leader and personally find a lot of his thinking inspiring. I know that HN fervently hates Jeff and Amazon - and Amazon definitely has to improve a thing or two - , but I'd challenge the haters to find another corporate leader who is not only willing to commit to such radical visions like becoming Earth's Best Employer and Earth's Safest Place to Work, but actually drive his leadership to deliver on these promises. The $15 minimum wage, the Climate Pledge (Amazon being the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy in the world), and Jeff's personal investments of $10 billion to fight climate change are - in my opinion - proof that Jeff is not entirely the evil capitalist that folks on HN think he is. I'm sure that there will be people who will comment that the $15 minimum wage was only implemented because it will harm competitors, the Climate Pledge was created to appeal to ESG-driven investors, and his personal investments are just tax savings. But you have to acknowledge that he is trying to use his power and influence to have a positive impact on the world.

I'd be really curious to hear from the folks on HN who are so deeply critical of Amazon and Jeff: do you see that he's at least trying and putting in money and effort? Or do you really believe that he is the devil manifest on Earth? If so, please cite one example of a living corporate leader running a company of Amazon's size who you consider to be a "good" leader. I'm genuinely curious.
As Stirner put it: it's spooks all the way down.
GitHub managed it, so. Centralisation has benefits.
Is there a place for data on how much a company invests in carbon reduction and how much it pollutes? I have great suspicion that many companies are using the carbon reduction "efforts" as PR exercise. For instance, this news on Apple investing in "working forest" pops the question, how much are they going to pollute in "harvesting" these forests afterwards?
I wonder at what point Google needs to pay attention to this. If a large number of websites are behind registration or paywalls, then the chance that any individual person searching would have a subscription (or registration) to any individual news site is pretty low. People might have some small number of subscriptions, but not for many sites.

So, why keep returning search results that the end user can't use without registration or purchase? It's essentially "page cloaking" when the rendered page doesn't match google sees.

To me, if you want a paywall, that should come with the consequence that your site isn't included in search results for the general public.

Edit: It's also getting irritating here on HN. I might have a subscription or login to one or two sites, but HN regularly shares stuff from Medium, WSJ, NYT, Wired, and so on. I have to imagine that most people following these posted stories hit the reg/pay-wall.
Citrine?
There are keyboards where each finger goes into four (five) switches, one on each side, but I imagine some combinations will be impossible to type without the keyboard being stationary relative to the hand.
> For as visionary as this community is

Where do you get that impression from?

There's a reason why threads like this one are routinely posted here (as famously with DropBox), and the comments are always so negative. You see a similar outcome in most Show HNs that gain attention.

HN is hyper cynical, mildly negative, and very tech-interested (which means new tech things are often posted / discussed). Visionary? If you were placing bets, you'd want to figure out the majority position of the comments then bet against that.

SV and techies in general are every bit as prone to regressive, myopic, stagnant thinking as the wider world, despite the self-touting nature of the industry as supposedly being forward looking.
I have one of these and have been very impressed with the output.

Every single evening for about 15-30 minutes before I go to bed. Buying a kindle and being able to have a backlight (along with syncing to my phone so I can read on the go) has been a game changer. I read a lot more now.

I only read fiction before bed. It's entertainment and I love it. I have been on a great binge of historical fiction lately and find myself pulling up wikipedia a lot more lately.

For what it is worth, for non-fiction, I have mostly shifted to audiobooks. I drive a fair bit for work and listen to only non-fiction books.

That’s how you find holes, by running trials. Remember that this isn’t a privacy regression; they’re trying to find an ad-friendly replacement for third party cookies, which can do cross-site tracking without any need for holes.
People need to justify their existence to the universe - that is, every morsel of food is the product of struggle against the physical laws of the universe. There is no free lunch.
The F-35 isn't meant to be an observation platform, for which long endurance drones are a much better option, it's a strike fighter. It's supposed to be able to use its stealth to fly through defenses other planes couldn't and deal crippling blows behind those lines. However stealth isn't invisibility, those defensive radars may not be able to lock onto the F-35, but they can see that it's there and scramble fighters to intercept. A big advantage of the F-35's stealth and advanced electronic suite is that it can see enemies before they can see it, and can avoid engagements where it is at a disadvantage - but this relies on it having the speed to get out of dodge before the enemy can close the gap. With limits on speed, it takes longer to complete strike missions which increases the risk of intercept, and the ability to avoid those intercepts is potentially compromised.
Ask HN: What are some good strategy games?
I've been playing action-oriented games (diablo 2, cod2, l4d2) for the longest time and would like to try out some strategy-oriented games.

It’s way, way more common than you’d ever want to believe.

Here’s a starting point, from one very repressed culture where the act of going to the police puts great shame on your family and turns you into an outcast:

> There seems to be no sign of decline in the number of sexual abuse cases against children. According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, child consultation centers nationwide responded to 2,077 cases of child sexual abuse in fiscal 2019, up 2.75 times from fiscal 2000, when the Act on the Prevention, etc. of Child Abuse went into force. In 1,056 of these cases, the perpetrators were biological fathers.

Please, listen to children and believe their stories.

Wine Hangover 0.6.5 Released
Hangover allows x86 windows binaries to run on linux on arm64 (and on POWER too). Wine allows x86 windows binaries to run on x86 linux and also arm windows binaries on linux on arm. Why not simply create a program to run x86 windows binaries on windows on arm and use wine to run this program on linux with wine?
I think they are about as neutral as you will find. The wider environment has just become hyper partisan. It has certainly influenced both organizations (which I read daily), and I would agree they're not as neutral as they were once lauded to be, but I don't know that you'll find a better option.

Checking out allsides.com, and their bias ratings, is a good way to see just how bad the other options are.
> nah. i’ve heard the cross-cloud argument multiple times and it does not hold any water.

You misunderstood. I'm talking a single terraform project provisioning resources across different providers.

We have AWS resources referencing stuff in Cloudflare and the other way, and Cloudflare referencing stuff in a k8s cluster running on-site. Add some some GCP LBs referencing a whole bunch of endpoints across 6 providers. They're all under a single TF project and a single tf apply makes changes across all of them.

I am using NWJS to build cross platform apps using web technologies. I used that because of it is simple, easy and can protect source code.

We don't need a security standard for apps from bluechip companies, we need better vetting of apps uploaded by nobodies to the app stores. And the Chrome plugin store while we're at it. I always thought Google should have a score system for Android developer accounts. You need to earn trust to have access to sensitive Android APIs.
Some people compare and compete with their fellow humans. There are other people who consider existence itself to be their true competitor.
A better law that more precisely addresses the various situations instead of depending on the verbiage chosen by the long dead.
I ignored this advice for several years but ~6 months ago switched to Firefox cold turkey and don't miss Chrome one bit. Even when doing web development (I thought I'd miss chrome's CSS/HTML/JS inspector and devtools in general but Firefox's are the same if not better)
I’ve seen it suggested that a reasonable legalization framework would be to legalize all drugs but not allow advertising. This would logically include getting rid of alcohol and tobacco advertising too.
It is notable that several countries have held competitions to choose new fighter jets and the F-35 has generally won those competitions when it was an option. Countries like Belgium, Japan, South Korea, and Poland would be examples.
Moving to Europe is culturally very different though. Despite the language barrier, I feel a lot more at home in France and Germany than the US (I'm British). If the US feels so foreign to me I'm sure most European countries would feel equally weird to North Americans. I'm not saying weird is necessarily bad, but some people like familiar reference points, shared values etc.
Physical mute button with red LED mute status is a killer feature.

Got a wired Plantronics headset with USB-C that I'm happy with. Not sure if the above products have this feature, but I recommend checking for it.

That's a separate issue, assuming it really is an issue, and not just an indication that those private housing developments in Portland are being constructed with a cheaper, lower build quality so that their investors can generate more profit.
Totally agree. I've been using my old Apple EarPods and I'm always told that I sound great.
Yup, there were several tricks like these!
My father used to travel a lot and paying for roaming was expensive. So when he was available to speak, he'd just give a missed call at a fixed time and we used to call him from the landline (much cheaper). If we didn't get a missed call, he was busy.

I also remember while going to college, I had bus connectivity, but had to walk the last 3km or so home. I used to call either of my parents to come pick me up when I was around 15 minutes away from the bus stop.

At the EA conference I attended, one of the talks that got people excited was about false vacuum decay of the universe (which would end all life everywhere), and why therefore QFT research was the most effective. Even if that's not their major focus now, it fit nicely into their framework.
Yes, I made a few shortcuts. But is it really so hard to believe that the shipping company made a much more detailed analysis beforehand and decided it was worth it? It's not like you just YOLO a cruise ship into drydock and find out it's too expensive halfway through the project.

(Insert joke about software engineering budget bloat here)
At the time, the non-www subdomain only had IPv6 and I'm not running dual stack. They now look identical.
There are only so many ways to arrange three knobs and transport controls on a keyboard.

This is like two mobile phone companies putting their volume buttons in the same place.

This is another weird aspect of the (often amateur, electronic) music production world - making something simple and obvious seem like a mysterious and unique breakthrough.

This is a community that likes to use the terms “aleatoric” and “euclidian” instead of “random” and “evenly distributed”. Yes, I know the origins of those two terms but I don’t care - I eyeroll every time I hear them.
YouTubes contentID system is quite good at detecting just a couple seconds of sound to determine if something is copyrighted or not. It should be quite easy to match copies of content and just get rid of it straight away, meaning they don't have to see duplicates. I would assume they already do this. Which leads me to believe there's actually that much content being produced, I imagine most of it is not produced in the West though.
Susuk – Black Magic Exposed “White” by Dental Radiographs
See my other comment. It's not about a single resource working across providers, but the ability to reference resources across providers and linking them together. Think Cloudflare pointing to AWS endpoints.
As far as I can tell it is 'reasonably' neutral. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/reuters

Hopefully the addition of a paywall does not skew things.
You’d figure equipment like this would simply have two coin cell batteries rather than one. It would make swapping them much easier.
"audiences prepared to pay $34.99 per month for a deeper level of coverage"

Holy crap...who is this audience? NYT is $4/month, WAPO is $4-6/month, etc.

Edit: Ah, okay, intro pricing that shifts to ~$17/month after a year. Still, though, that's half of this proposed pricing.

Besides the privacy implications, do you really want to only be served content that you have shown a previous interest in? Eventually this will lead to you living in an internet bubble that only ever shows you the same things. Would you be happy with that?
