80 IoT device seem like a little more than normal, but I wonder how many devices the average person have without really thinking of them as IoT devices.

Some of IoT device you list I’d actively avoid, but thinks like robot vacuums is really useful.
Most banks in Switzerland have negative interest rates on large balances (over 100k or 500k CHF).
Pretty sure those sites break in Edge and Brave as well...
Flac, ogg, mp3. All you need. Great find.
Overly broad and vague, but not that far off the mark. If you're a citizen or PR you are entitled to an HDB if your income isn't too high. If you can't afford to buy an HDB (with many gov't grants), you can rent an HDB. If you're really low income, the rent can be very low (ten's of SGD per month).

So basically if you're a SC/PR, you won't go without decent housing in Singapore. That's actually quite impressive for countries in SE Asia.
IoT devices (except something like NVR cameras) uses very little bandwidth and little time, so why you need 5GHz?

2.4GHz is better for range, all AP/Client supports same frequency on worldwide, cheap, and so on. I suspect that there are few reason to implement both 5GHz and 2.4GHz for IoT devices. Supporting all 5GHz band would increase cost.

Hooked as soon as the beat kicked in.
Z-wave does not require aes128, it can't even handle multiple messages that well and gets congested very, very easily. The more z-wave secure devices you have the more easily your network gets congested, and god help you if every device also reports their power usage. If you want to remove a device from the network to move it to another network, you often have to go through an explicit dejoin process vs just start a new join process with something else.

Still overall a shit experience.
The radio side of things is quite well standardised around Mars actually.

The majority of missions now carry an Electra radio unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electra_(radio)

The Electra radio implements the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Proximity-1 Space Link Protocol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity-1_Space_Link_Protoco...) which is available online as PDFs, divided into three sections: Data Link Layer CCSDS 211.0-B https://public.ccsds.org/Pubs/211x0b6.pdf ; Physical Layer CCSDS 211.1-B - https://public.ccsds.org/Pubs/211x1b4e1.pdf ; and Coding and Synchronization Sublayer CCSDS 211.2-B - https://public.ccsds.org/Pubs/211x2b3.pdf

The CCSDS provides full access to all their recommended standards on their website ( https://ccsds.org )

There are some recommended standards published regarding crypto and security: "Security Architecture for Space Data Systems" (CCSDS 351.0-M), "Space Data Link Security Protocol" (CCSDS 355.0-B) , "CCSDS Cryptographic Algorithms" (CCSDS 352.0-B), and others.

And to wrap up, they also have standards regarding deep space communications inside "Radio Frequency and Modulation Systems—Part 1: Earth Stations and Spacecraft" (CCSDS 401.0-B) https://public.ccsds.org/Pubs/401x0b31.pdf which has been an active recommended standard for over 30 years now, so everything currently operating at Mars (NASA, ESA, and the China National Space Administration (CNSA) are all participating in CCSDS) is likely conforming pretty closely to the radio communications standards in CCSDS 401.0-B

Overall its a pretty amazing amount of detail provided by them, a real wealth of technical information regarding spacecraft operations and engineering.
Haven't floppy disks stopped being manufactured? How is this handled?
This. The CC-BY-SA default license on Stack Overflow makes whatever is posted there unsuitable to be copy-pasted in a proprietary-licensed software. It takes a lot of effort to train people not to do that.
Most of these were developed and created when "Red Hat" had no ownership by IBM.
This isn't about wanting to replace RSA with Ed25519. The "ssh-rsa" method refers to RSA with SHA1 for hashing. It's the latter part that's the problem. The former is slightly inconvenient at worst (big keys).
Okay, this brings up a really pivotal point that took me way too long to learn:

ALL advice MUST be tailored to the individual.

This entire discussion is moot for some fraction of the population whether due to internal traits or external circumstances.

So, if you are living option #4, good luck to you. If someone is not living option #4, there are likely internal drives they need to learn to control/manage, and just pointing out that other people are able to live option #4 isn't useful to them.
Your device can't be certified without it to the best of my knowledge.
It actually has a pretty clear meaning: 99.9% means that someone ignorant (or lacking integrity) wants to project unrealistic certainty. That's what that phrase communicates.
They can be one in the same.

> Yes, indeed everyone wants to achieve their goals. That's vacuous and tautological, and no one was talking about that

My point is that choosing your goals is important. You might achieve your goals and then realize that you didn't even care about achieving them in the first place.

The "winning with respect to others" seems like a detail to me. It doesn't matter if it's winning with respect to others or yourself, as long as you understand what you're doing and are happy with it and the possible outcomes.

If someone wants to grind away to build a billion dollar company then so be it, as long as they understand what that means.
Twitter's fundamental problem is the interaction model doesn't scale, so getting started has a high learning curve. Since it's hard to drive organic user engagement, they force feed engagement. I'm sure the metrics show they work, but they're at a relative maxima for tweet-style interactions.
They're probably all illegal in 2021 in countries with social distancing laws :o
The reason why they do this is because you could pretend your are working for them but actually do something else on the side during the time they are paying you. The only way to avoid is is by completely banning other work. It really makes sense from their side
You're correct, I actually misread the original poster (or he/she edited their post?).

Anyway, after reading a bit more through the thread, I did not realise that VNIC is a IBM driver. It seems like the real situation is a bit more complex.

I would say though, the "You are an IBM employee 100% of the time" is really bad management IMO.

Way too often. One of the bugs I had the opportunity to debug was caused by a frontend developer who copy pasted invalid JSON from SO and pushed it all the way to production. He used different quotes: “ ".

When the data did not show up on the dashboard he just put the blame on the data team.
When I tried last time (sorry, I don't have visual studio in front of me), I would get things like:

- Pressing enter results in just adding a newline, without copying the whitespace from the previous line OR
- Pressing enter results in addine a newline, copying the whitespace, but replacing spaces with tabs on the new line

I guess if someone could once show how to make it so adding a newline to:

<tab><space><space><space><space>foo

(when configured with 4 space tabs) I get:

<tab><space><space><space><space>foo
<tab><space><space><space><space>

Instead of:

<tab><space><space><space><space>foo
<tab><tab>

> Fixating on outcomes will blind you to opportunities and invite needless suffering into your life

I think having an outcome in mind is important as your north star and/or driving force, but I agree about fixating on it.
I agree with everything you said except the last statement, which is an assertion, not logic.

Since you agree that one cannot avoid creating risk, what is the logical value of introducing the idea that risk is "harm"? You can just as well talk of unacceptable risks, rather than "unacceptable harms". Further, you apparently agree that all "accidents" result from parties taking a risk, whether small acceptable risks (more rarely, no doubt) or by larger unacceptable risks. So what point are you left making about the existence of "accidents"?
Right, such few damn dicks also happened to keep active relations with the Third Reich supporting the logistics of the concentration camps.

Never a company policy, just those few bad people giving it a bad name...
No, they had that one too, it's the non-compete clause basically (it extends a few years after your employment terminates, if I'm not wrong). Again, not sure it's enforceable, I'm not aware of them ever trying to. Probably they might if you were in a leadership position and tried to outright move to a direct competitor? But I never heard of it used for a "regular" employee so I basically ignored its existence.
Should be easy enough to fix with a statement along the lines of "this code is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by my employer".
The fact that at least five different groups were able to achieve it in roughly the same amount of time kinda proves my point. Impressive, but nowhere near Manhattan Project.
I agree that these things tend to overreach (the more powerful party in a negotiation will always try to get as much as they can), but most employment agreements will only claim ownership over things that you do in your own time that are related to your company's line of business. And in states like California and I believe Washington, companies cannot legally try to claim more than that. It's still more than I'd like, but I also can't get too worked up about it.

I for one would prefer to have a society where certain things can't be signed over by contract. Like your free time. Or your organs or life.
I think focusing on the process of self-improvement is still focusing on success in disguise. The root problem is that Western culture ties happiness to success instead of community, and it's hard to shake off (despite the obvious misery it causes) because everyone around still expects you to follow it.
B to F is a fifth; that interval is called a diminished fifth (one semitone less than a perfect fifth like B to F#).
Probably not a major concern in your garage. These battery packs are built with fairly well-isolated cells that even if one fails should not result in a domino effect.

The reason you see issues in cases like this is because the wreck totally decimated that isolation with mechanical force and so you get runaway effects.
You could, and then you either are still able to deliver an amount of work that makes them happy, in which case, why do they care - or you can't deliver an acceptable amount of work and they can fire you for performance. No need to own 100% of anyone's time.
Any way for me to access the article from EU without subscription or account?
> This person can also quit IBM, therefore being subject to no contractual obligation, and then change the "IBM Power SRIOV Virtual NIC Device Driver" entirely free

I'd assume the person has received confidential information about the IBM technology in question during his employment. Of course the Linux driver is open source so it cannot be a business secret. But typically there is much more knowledge than just the Linux source code. Using business secrets after your employment is most likely enforcable in many legislations. Damages or criminal charges or both.
Yes I completely agree. What I meant by "picking the game you play" is exactly what you say about searching for a win leading to not being true to yourself.
“Nothing worth having comes easy”, right?

Not all standards are made like utf8, ie commissioned last minute by a committee, written by two guy over the weekend and adopted by committee the week after. Then used by everyone for decades with little to no changes.

Not true at all. A huge part of HN is - as others mentioned - that is‘s so lightweight and the UI is so clean.

There are a lot of people here that have slower bandwith than a pigeon, and they are very very happy that the HN staff tries to save every bit and byte.

So is a Yagi antenna, and you can make the latter out of scrap :).
Yeah, but it's not 99.9%, it's "almost 99.9%". Very weird statement.
Yes, this is true, but it's not how the circle of fifths works (which is what the comment I was responding to seemed to be alluding to).
Nice!

I love acid music, such a simple formula with infinite variation. There's something so delicious about the wobble of a 303 bassline.

I just want to mention Tin Man for those who are interested in acid. He writes, mostly, quite palatable (often mournful) tunes at house music tempo, but he has a good range and goes full banger at times. A real wizard with a heart for the genre.

https://www.discogs.com/artist/313993-Tin-Man-3
What a wonderful site, I love it. Sounds so good. I'd love to have a feature to make the bass drum regular, though, to keep the beat pumping.
Django (Python) also includes auth if I’m not mistaken. A good approach I’ve seen is using Django to create REST API’s while using the admin interface and ORM support as free bonuses.
> Does your contract actually say this explicitly? Mine doesn't and I'm not sure it'd even be enforceable if it did.

moonlighting clauses are fairly standard and I'd be surprised if your contract doesn't include one.

> You are aware that there is a fairly large number of people who work multiple jobs, right? And that they usually don't ask permission to do so?

Yes, people violate their employment contracts.

> (It's also probably not legal to fire someone for working a second job, at least here in Australia.)

The enforceability of moonlight contracts may vary. For example working at a software company and moonlighting as a barista is less likely to be enforceable than working at a software company and moonlighting at another (or moonlighting as a freelance developer), at least in the US, the second is probably a violation.

Not that this matters in the US since you're usually at will anyway.
I'm probably romanticizing and projecting, but I imagine that scenario going something like this:

* lrvick knocks on guilty neighbor's door.

* guilty party's non-technical brother answers

Brother: Yeah?

lrvick: Hey, I notice you guys have an antenna on the east side of your roof pointed at my house, is that yours?

Brother: Huh? No, that's my sister's.

lrvick: Is she around? It's messing with my Netflix and I'd like to talk to her about it.

Brother: Oh, um, yeah. hold on...

* Brother leans away from door into house and shouts inside, "Hey sis! Neighbor at the door for you!"

* lrvick waits.

* Guilty sister walks up to door

Sister: Can I help you?

lrvick: Is that your antenna on the east side your roof?

Sister: Yes.

lrvick: So, the past month, someone's been messing with my wifi with deauth attacks.

Sister: *mildly indignant* I'm not doing that.

lrvick: Well, The past week, I spread a bunch of sensors around my property and a couple of the neighbors and logged the 2.4Ghz spectrum for the area. I correlated everything and triangulated the attacks to that antenna of yours, which just so happens to be aimed at my house. Here's the logs and spectrum heat maps if you'd like to see.

* lrvick offers Sister the printouts he brought with him.

* Sister takes, looks them over and starts to get that embarrassed flush in the cheeks and ears characteristic of someone who knows they're busted.

Sister: I mean --

lrvick: I'm actually not even mad. It's kind of illegal, but it's also ballsy and I respect that. But I'm not the kind of person to go snitching to the FCC first thing. You do know if we're competing for spectrum, you can come talk to me, and we can coordinate a plan over a couple beers, right?

* Three months later lrvick and Sister are co-presenting a talk at the local hackerspace on counterattacks to deauth attacks.

>It can be substituted with strong unions

When the bus drivers tried to strike against explicitly racist pay policies they imprisoned and beat them: https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-SEAB-2274

They don't substitute. Unions are basically illegal.

There are people earning ridiculously low wages.
wow this is excellent
He's right though, that's not what I was trying to write (not a 3:2 ratio).
I did read it and IMO it's emotionalised bullshit. Few cities may be vacated, few major seaside cities will solve it with expensive technological installations. But it certainly won't be {insert your favourite dystopian movie} style collapse.

Solution is "stop pumping greenhouse misions and consuming so much crap shipped all around the world". But developed countries paying off developing countries won't bring us to that solution.

The world as a whole has to consume much much less, yesterday. Developed countries can start by bringing manufacturing and agriculture back home. This will increase costs and lower consumption.
Not quite the same, but Serbian forces used microwave ovens with the door interlocks defeated as cheap decoys for anti-radiation missiles in the Kosovo war.

ESP8266. Good news: everyone can have a cheap Wi-Fi chip to put in their project. Bad news: everyone can have a cheap Wi-Fi chip to put in their project.
The third option is that you do something really cool that contractually they own. Be very careful with side projects under these types of contracts.
It's not copyright transfer, which actually isn't a thing here, but in the Czech Republic, there is actually a specific clause pertaining to work done by a student to fulfil his study obligations (i.e. a bachelor thesis). The school has the right to get a licence to use that work and to demand compensation if the student monetizes it. I haven't heard of it ever being explicitly used, so it's probably uncommon (who wouldn't give their school a licence to use their thesis?).
Checking the origin of the code is a standard step in any acquisition process (I have been involved in several). It's reasonable that people do not want to pay for some code that they later discover has to be released as source. The general attitude is "trust, but verify".

As you say, there might be a case where two independent implementations came up with the exact same code, although the probability of this is reduced exponentially with the size of the exact match. Keep in mind, we do not talk about "i = 0;" here, but something longer. And we do not discuss examples matching the official documentation, because then you can point to it as origin, instead of SO -- and it would probably be under a better license.

The questions are: even if you wrote it yourself, do you justify the costs of potentially going to court to defend the case and are you sure you will convince a judge, who will be the person making the decision?
> We've seen mass exodus from Digg and Reddit.

Digg collapsed sure, but where does the Reddit exodus come from? Even IF they had people leave because of the design (which I doubt would be significant numbers) it would not be remotely comparable to Digg.
Have you had bad experience with hiring for Elm?

As written in different comment my Elm hiring experience was stellar, but now I wonder if it might be because we're fully remote team (not, say, Czech company hiring only Czechs from a radius of 30km around one city. I can imagine how that would limit the talent pool.)
What's this obsession with increasing housing density? Population in the developing world is leveling off. Most of the developed world is already at "peak child".[1] Housing shortages come from migration to cities, not more people.

Because ESP8266 and ESP32 chips are really cheap, and they only do 2.4GHz.
Another popular solution in an environment where you might have to support six different vendors' equipment, some of which is closed source (juniper, etc) and demands certain SFP+ EEPROM codes, from one pool of spare equipment, is to purchase the optics with blank eeproms and a coding box to write the vendor ID code onto them over i2c bus as needed. There's four or five transceiver companies I can think of now which provide the solution to do that.
You do realize that B is just something on top of A, and not instead of A, right?

The finger unlock of my iPhone doesn't let me do everything. There are operations for which the password is required even if you have the right fingerprint.

So basically, the "security" of my phone is protected by my password.

If I know the password, but I don't have the fingerprint: I don't care, I can do anything. I can even enroll the finger I have.

If I have the finger but forget the password, I'm going to have a bad day since the touch ID feature requires me to input my password at least once a week and I cannot change the password or do any other sensitive operation.

So how does this scheme replace passwords? Sure, it's more convenient, since people don't have to type the password 500 times a day.

But will they actually use strong passwords? When I've initially set up my iPhone it asked to set up a code in addition to the fingerprint. That default was a 4 digit pin[0]. That's some high security right there.

---

[0] This was some 4-5 years ago, things may have changed. I remember seeing an article grilling Apple over this default. It was fairly easy to switch to a regular password, but we're talking about the default here, which we know is what most non-technical people will use.
Indeed, in some places (eg Nordic countries) the union movement opposes any introduction of a national minimum wage as it could potentially undercut their own role in setting the effective minimum wage - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/12/nordic-countri...

Off the clock. I can't speak for commonplace, this specific agreement was from 1999 and was probably not enforceable then (but who knows) as I believe no one can reasonably be expected to turn over original creations and impoverish themselves, if there is no connection to the company's area of business. Things vary depending on the year and the country.

You can negotiate your agreements if you see something objectionable in them. (Read them!)
That's not an inconsequential amount to learn, especially teaching someone how stocks work in terms of buying or valuing them, or how to evaluate a business working or not working. I think it gets pushed up into college level courses, honestly; I don't know the best way to teach these subjects to the average 14 year old.
