You gotta start small. Boycott. Do not buy cars from companies that do this. Even if they allow you to opt out or they have offerings without these “features”.

Then tell your friends and family about it. Hopefully, at least one or two of them will understand or agree. Even if nobody follows your example, you’ve planted the idea in their heads.

If you have a blog or social media, write about this. Again, it’s unlikely people will change their minds only because of you, but this will plant the seed of doubt.

Over time, this might become big enough to be a political issue. If it affects the driver’s privacy an the car’s safety it definitely can. Then it’s time to call your representatives.
This is a slightly odd take, technologies can gain rapid growth at any stage. Take python for instance it was a niche language for a majority of its lifespan but then it suddenly got crazy popular.

You also get bugs introduced into a program by changes to shared libraries. I've even seen a vulnerability introduced when glibc was upgraded (glibc changed the direction of memory, and the program was using memcpy on overlapping memory).
It depends on your usage.

I've gone through four or five Apple Keyboard (A1243) during the past decade. They break very easily, but I like the feel and layout.

With mechanical keyboards made for gaming (Razer and Corsair) I've had the caps start to fall apart and break after ~2 years of regular usage. The most frequently used switches also tend to start showing signs of wear and tear after a while.
Sure. (well, quite often it's actually Atom, since people use "RSS" to mean either)

Do you know whether people based out of the Cambridge/Boston site would be considered second-class citizens today?

And if there is a second-class dynamic, would it be in a way that adversely affected the work, directly, or the impact was more about individual treatment?

(For example of affecting the work... when collaboration across sites is needed, for the benefit of the org, would there be difficulty getting it to happen, because some were second-class... such as not being taken as seriously, or working with second-class didn't fit well with promotion strategies, etc.)

The problem here is, most peoples' wages are defined by their leverage, not their value. For people in those situations, the benefit of minimum wage is that most people below that wage immediately get leverage in the form of legal requirement to pay them (or anyone else) min wage.

This isn't a matter of improving the situation for everyone, it's a matter of improving the situation for the majority of min-wage workers.

If someone genuinely can't provide $10/hr of value, then either 1) they need to upskill (and there are social services for that, although perhaps not in the US idk) or 2) they're like one of those literal retards who are becoming literally unemployable, and the solution is either to subsidize their employer (which is okay in this instance because you're not subsidizing a race to the bottom like you are with subsidizing normal e.g. McDonalds wages) or put them on a disability pension.

But realistically, most people are capable of upskillinng and that's what they should be doing if they're not valuable enough to an employer.

High-level you would like the government to mostly do things that the citizens mostly like. Then the citizens will mostly consent to have a government that mostly leaves them free. But it's all approximate. It doesn't extrapolate to always doing things that all citizens like. That doesn't work at all, for obvious reasons like the government being licensed to tax or imprison people.
Android is not Linux any more than Chrome or Firefox is Linux just because it runs on top of it.
Anyone know of any good Linux phones. Mine is going to be dead soon and for a while I liked Pixel because it didn't have all the Samsung or Motorola or anytime else bloatware, but with what Google has been doing I'd prefer a full Linux phone.

I've looked a Librem but $1500 is kind of hard to justify when I have all my other expenses that come with a young family.

Anyone have any suggestions?
Ask HN: Being comfortable using your “real life persona” online
I've had many usernames over the years ; be it IRC, HN, Reddit, various boards, trackers, but what I nearly never used was a real name or something that could be linked to me in person.

I'm trying to do more under a real identity. It would be nice to make more long lasting connections with people, and maybe build a long lasting identity, and standing by one's own opinions. With a real name.

But how to decide what to share under a real name? I can't comment on HN without being wary about it. A comment history of years is so telling about an individual. How do you ever get "comfortable" with having a lot of stuff online that can somehow be linked to the real you? Is it just me, or do other people deal with this as well?

Not even asking this under a real name: What if a potential employer/future colleague finds this in the future, and must conclude "this guy is _really_ unsure about himself"? What if it tanks and I just get slashed for asking something silly? The internet doesn't forget, throwaways I can at least throw away, that's what they're there for. But I can never "network" simply moving from one anonymous nick unto the next.

Suggestions? Am I justified, or simply paranoid?
Thanks, I can’t view the original on my phone without the app because ‘Reddit can’t verify the community is not 18+’ which is a thinly veiled user hostile move-to-our app play. Shame on them.
In the case of my company's software it's for ease of deployment for new versions. When you click download you get a gui that will step you settings etc. I don't want to rebuild and re-sign the gui every time I have a patch and need to change its install behavior slightly, so it downloads the latest installer dll and executes that in order to handle any new flags, configs, added binaries, etc.

All of this is done behind the scenes though, so your average end user doesn't even notice.
Notification of the parties is key. You always have a good reason to record a phone call.

But, have you ever had a conversation on the phone that was difficult, not your best, or otherwise problematic? Have you ever said something that you would only say to one person?

The lower the barrier, the worse people’s behavior will manifest.
From some of the replies further down that thread, it appears this is not as big a problem as it first seems.

First of all, the dynamic linker is slow and not optimized for program startup times. [ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/4b77489c05f6459ead7233c3fb69f61... ]

> But I also believe that when it comes to the future health of the planet, the question is not one of whether or not we continue to have babies. People will always have babies. Here, there and everywhere. Instead, it is a question of how we raise those babies, of learning to live within our environmental means, of turning away from the fever of consumerism and overturning a political system that rewards a tiny rich minority at the expense of everyone else.

Agree, 100%.

And her answer, after examining the question, is no.
Yes, and DHH's interpretation is completely uncharitable and naive, and I don't know why you are buying into it.

The ADL's goal is to fight anti-semitism. The Holocaust opened some people's eyes about their anti-semitism and look to a new path. But in others it simply enabled and licensed their own prejudices because it allowed them to think "Well whatever I think/say/do isn't THAT bad."

The ADL's pyramid shows that genocide doesn't happen overnight with the snap of the fingers. Each incremental step is minor and ignorable. But it starts with stereotyping and biased attitudes.
I totally agree, and that's what I'm getting at.

Other formal models like the lambda calculus have an advantage in that lambda functions and the type systems to work with them aren't that far removed from the machines that execute them. So the practicing software engineer doesn't have a hard time using that model directly++.

As you so demonstrated, practicing HDL engineers don't generally find the actor model to be a good mental representation of their designs. Nevertheless, even in the synthesizeable subset, the languages are formally specified using message-passing processes. They just also happen to admit non-synthesizeable designs as well.
35 Years Later, Studies Show a Silver Lining from Chernobyl
Proof-of-space is essentially stored Proof-of-work. You are pre-filling your drive with many cryptographic hash's. When a challenge comes in the software will do a quick check to see if any of your plots could possibly have a proof (a hash with sufficient zeros for that challenge). If any of your plots pass this filter then the plot is looked up on the HDD to check if it does indeed contain a proof. The difficulty, the number of zeros needed for a hash to be considered a proof, adjusts as the network grows to ensure a steady supply of coins. With proof-of-work you are printing lottery tickets every time a challenge comes in, then throwing them away and starting again, with Proof-of-space you are printing your tickets once and then storing them for years. There is extra layers, Chia is actually proof-of-space-and-time, so that you can't win by faking proof-of-space with proof-of-work.
Can you please give an example of such an interesting case? I am genuinely curious.

And I agree with the general point that monorepos require a great build tooling as a match.

Completely different things.

In Proof of Stake, the network (roughly!) allocates rewards for validating transactions based on the amount of coins you have, i.e., your stake in the network.

In Proof of Space, the network allocates rewards based on you proving that you are really storing the data you were supposed to store. If you fail to produce a proof for some data item the network expected you to have stored, you lose the reward.

YouTube itself seems to rely more on webm for audio. That seems to be a container for Opus or Vorbis formats.

Vorbis and Opus themselves are lossy encoders (Ogg Vorbis).
If you assume all the current mining capacity is in use, and everyone mining right now is actually dishonest and collaborating with each other as a single party (worst case), then at most you just need to match the current capacity to prevent an attack. All you need is to make sure that more than 50% of miners aren't collaborating to benefit the same party at the same time.

If you are assuming that the attackers are also hiding "dark" mining capacity, then it's harder to say what capacity you would need to stop an attack, but they would be choosing not to run that hardware at a significant opportunity cost for no reason other than to create a false sense of security.

You seem to be implying that this is a strange model but I don't think so. It's no different from how you won't know how big of a military you need until after you get attacked. Your opponents could be hiding their military capacity. Etc. It's not clear that it is possible to avoid this problem in any trustless system.
Since I have a parade of technicians coming through to fix the issue, I had the opportunity to talk with them. The high-end units of all brands these days have sensors everywhere to save water and energy, and simultaneously monitor cleaning effectiveness as they are all competing on advertising the least utilization with the most cleaning power (monitoring cleaning power and cleaning results is another aspect of saving water and energy). It reminds me of Apple's "you can never be thin enough" focus.

In my case, it has led to an issue that is still stumping the techs, where something is causing the unit to believe it has finished the session well before it even gets under way with the hot water cycle sometimes, and other times to not even start after the initial tub fill. The diagnostic code thrown indicate a malfunctioning sensor they've already replaced twice. Maybe if I call them out enough times, Bosch will just offer to replace the entire unit for me. While I don't get charged labor for subsequent tech visits for the same issue, I still pay for parts, so maybe Bosch's dastardly plan is I'll Ship of Theseus pay for a new unit part-by-part and end up paying 10X what a normal unit would cost before it works again.

In the meantime, it has been fascinating getting an inside look at the design decisions. Lots of incredibly clever engineering has gone into these beasties, which screams to me as a software guy of a ton of refinement over decades of accumulated experience, much of it learned the hard way in the field. Kind of like when I see a software system where the sharp edges have been burnished away into a smooth patina of refinement, and there are still odd bugs that pop up now and then.
Nix will solve this for you in a breeze.
With GitHub actions you can quite easily specify a workflow for parts of your repo (simple file path filter https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax...). So you can basically just write one workflow for each project in the monorepo and have only those running where changes occured.
They are different. Chia isn't Proof of Stake because how many XCH has no impact on your odds of winning more.

The cases are being under-reported too. The question is whether deaths are being under-reported to a greater degree than cases. Even the test-positivity rates vary from state to state not only because of the extent of infection in different states but also because some states contact-trace and test while others don't. Its a mess. And to see people try to fit models to this data and fight amongst each other is darkly hilarious.

Plus, at least in the first wave in Bangalore (where I grew up), there were no instances of crematoriums melting down and such. So the under-reporting of deaths was likely not as bad in the first wave as it is right now, but the under-reporting of cases was certainly quite large as testing capacity took a while to come online.
No - it’s a bit more like preprinting big ranges of lottery tickets, that require giant look-up tables moreso than raw computation.

So it requires the dedication of some hard/rivalrous real resource, storage space, other than either strictly energy/CPU (PoW) or the protocol’s own tokens (PoStake).

This is something I've never heard about, but are there any projects who license AGPL but offer paid relicensing to GPLv2? With customers paying for permission to keep private their modifications to a hosted service?
I enjoy the Pinephone, but it certainly has its issues. I’d kill for better performance; it’s very close to usability. I also have some issues with the hardware (it seems my battery has stopped working entirely, recently.)

On the other hand, there is one confounding software issue that I think makes it the hardest as a full replacement for a modern smartphone: push notifications. An equivalent for APNS or FCM that allows for relatively low power consumption, low latency push notifications would need to be devised, financed and actually adopted. It’s nice to imagine a world where apps on phones are like how apps on desktop are and just keep, for example, active WebSocket connections at all times, but this doesn’t appear to be something practical with current technology.

Maybe federated, E2EE push notifications could come into existence? A sort of ActivityPub of pushes... It’s a pipe dream, but one can hope.

I have heard that the cov vaccines do not prevent someone from getting it or transmitting it - (maybe?) at least two of the three prominent "vaccines" merely change your dna so that if you get it, the effects of it are not as serious as someone who has not gotten the shot (?)

If that is true - it seems to me that it does not make much difference if you spend time indoors with people that have or have not been vaccinated, as it really just protects them and not you.

I just quick opened something like:
https://www.google.com/search?q=mrna+vaccine+does+not+preven...

the top result seems to "debunk" but the details off the page are tricky imho - the first "common questions" dropdown from the cdc, notes on page: "Although COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting sick, scientists are still learning how well vaccines prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to others, even if you do not have symptoms"

am I wrong on this?
Sure it can, if the situation has gotten so bad that you need drastic measures, it makes sense. It's not ideal, but that's a totally different thing that "making sense". People have to make hard decisions with temporarily uncomfortable and problematic consequences all the time at the executive level. Getting rid of a big chunk of the workforce is hardly uncommon in terms of drastic measures, no matter how it's done.

And to many people, this is going to make Basecamp appear more attractive not less. They won't have a hard time filling seats.
I quite like shared libraries. What I don’t like is actually sharing them.

I firmly believe that all applications should ship their dependencies. Launching an application should never be more complication than “unzip and double-click executable”.

Docker only exists because run-time environments are too complicated, convoluted, and mutually incompatible. It’s insane.

This reminded me of a post I read somehwere on the web of a guy who was looking to make some money early on when the App store was a thing and basically poked around on it trying to do the same thing your list suggests -- find an app that has enough downloads and a decent paid userbase but which seems kinda terrible.

Turns out he noticed there was a really popular app for... the bible, but he noticed it was pretty shitty. IIRC, he then made his own without too much effort, published in the app store, and made a decent chunk of change off of it for quite a while.
I know cubicles were previously mocked but a private space with walls where I'm not distracted by people walking all around me doesn't sound too bad.
Well the simple past tense / 3rd person of "chier" is precisely "chia", spelled exactly like that. The herb/plant "chia" always sounds a bit weird to my ears because it makes me think of the verb tense... "Il chia" / "He shat". So GP is totally correct.
When you look at the differences in speed between distros, often the main thing is which glibc is being used!

Regular string ops can vary in speed by 2-5x based on which old glibc you have.
Why would Chia be the threat here? Filecoin(IPFS) is already a threat, it already has a capacity of 4.81 EiB of data, 4810 PetiBytes! (Is that how you spell it? In contrast to Petabytes)

And to store 1 GiB of data per year it only costs the user $0.00082 USD.

That shows harddrives are already being gobbled up by miners at an incredible rate. Has this made a noticeable rise in storage prices? Anyone know of any data that can show that?
I am in the same boat as you and I agree with all you say here.

I have a lot opinions on this and continue to say them internally. I encourage you to say this internally as well.

Quitting will just get people to use the next best teacher on youtube that they can find. She can just get the music muted and create a link to her patreon, and tell that Google muted it. Google will lose out on revenue that way for now.
Go for a boil a frog approach. Figure out what you can reasonably ask for and then ask for a more. See what you land on through that negotiation and then gradually increase it. If they’re really reluctant just say “how about we trial it for a month”. Then extend the trial indefinitely.

Admit that single parent families often struggle? Yes, admitted. Single parent families often struggle and they need more support.

That it has nothing to do with slavery? You haven't been paying attention. Black communities do not magically have higher single-parent rates because God ordained it. They have higher rates because of literally everything I've been talking about in the past 3 comments.

> and how to fix it.

And this is exactly what I mean. You can look at the comments in this thread, and one group of people are proposing policy solutions, and the other group is complaining that words make them feel bad.

There's some weird tiptoeing around the issue here, which I sort of suspect is because you're hesitant to publicly say what you believe the solution really is. So I'll ask it directly: how do you think we should help single-parent kids who need additional support?
