The author and those of you who find true decentralized applications interesting, may want to check out ClarionOS [0] by Dan Larimer, esteemed creator of BitShares, Steemit, and EOS blockchain projects, as well as the author of "More Equal Animals" [1] a free-for-everyone book about rebuilding our political system using fractal democracy.

Clarion is NOT A BLOCKCHAIN BASED project, so hopefully you won't have a tendency to dismiss it outright.

From the Introduction:
"Clarion aims to give everyone in the world the tools to broadcast their message to everyone who wants to hear their message without creating dependencies on centralized infrastructure. It will achieve this with a censorship resistant "friend to friend" network which will leverage the unused resources of your friends and family to distribute your content.

The ultimate goal is to provide the performance and reliability of a "centralized service" with the freedom and independence of a logically decentralized network. With the help of the Clarion community we can free our friends and family from the tyranny of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Amazon, Apple and Google and produce a social network free from manipulation and 3rd party dependence."

It certainly will be interesting to see if it turns out Covid is a lab leak.

What specifically changes if we determine it came from a research lab? Obviously more embarrassment for a government that hates to be embarrassed. But it sounds like these research practices are in more places then just Wuhan. Are there other time bombs around the world ready to go off?

Because in that case nothing happened, even though we expect better from established democracies compared to the dictatorship from Belarus. And most of us live in those established democracies and not in Belarus, hence what happened back then was even more f/cked up.
How Long Does It Take to Learn Python
Maybe, but I'm factoring in the time spent on maintenance at 100x the cost because that is not something I want me or my kids to have to do ever! Meaning with 5 million customers on my MMO we have 250 years of all of them playing every day with these drives. Which gives us margin!
How long would be a reasonable expectation?
A fine is a criminal sanction and this is apparently a civil case which means they were awarded compensation (and not a fine). Precedent is only set by the supreme court and in principle only in matters regarding interpretation of law. In this case, anyone else wanting money would have to file their own law suit. However, the case is not finally decided since Tesla may still respond.

This is a great run-down of the trouble with e-mail addresses.

I worked in e-mail security for quite a while. "Write an e-mail address parser" was my go-to technical interview question.

It was pretty easy to see if the candidate had ever given any real thought to e-mail (most had not); and you could also pick up a lot of signals about engineering style, for instance if they started with a regex (fewer did than I expected). And it was trivial to adjust the difficulty: if someone thought the question was easy and had a fast solution, you could just throw them a test-case like the ones in this article.

(Note: the actual title is "Your E-Mail Validation Logic is Wrong" -- and it's only about addresses, the author isn't implying that e-mail systems can't validate messages nor for that matter addresses.)
it was just muscle memory but that's not the point.
Because the car industry has bamboozled people with the acronym "EV/AV".

I have two door 89 Honda Accord I plan to get running again next year. For a while I thought it would be fun to add electric motors to the back wheels. Give a little boost off the line or maybe experiment with adding a little push around corners.

After seeing the prices for electric motors I'm probably just going to get it running instead.
Yes, but I don't do phone-based 2FA; I only use U2F or TOTP.

When I have a massive, immobile desktop in front of me it makes no sense that the desktop isn't the 2FA device, and that I'm asked to go search for an easy-to-steal tiny 5" device.

Also, I don't believe in phone numbers being 1:1 correlated with a device; for convenience I should be able to take a call from any device that I happen to have with me. So phone numbers should never be used for 2FA IMO.

I always buy extra leg-room (like seat by emergency exit), because I am tall as fuck. Problem solved.

I fly a lot with RyanAir, WizzAir and the other discount-airlines, because what they offer is great value - and when you upgrade a bit, it is not terrible.

A ticket listed for 50EUR, I usually end up paying around 100EUR with extras (legroom, luggage allowance).
The paper one: nope. The digital one: Supposedly yes, you can trust it, but there needs to be a way for already-vaccinated people to get the digital one. And how that is verified... well... not clear yet, but likely via the physical one.
Wow, even after your comment I didn't expect the degree of contention. One user fears that this will give a new excuse to "North American Exceptionalists" to use different images on North American Ice Hockey pages compared to Commonwealth ones. This person's signature is "abolish rule #2 like slavery", where rule #2 is

I can't imagine taking a job where my work was subject to review by this sort of person.
Who knows. They could just have missed a letter from the court.
"authorities cleared the aircraft to depart together with passengers"

Good to know that if Ryanair says "passengers" they mean "some of the passengers".

Edit: Also, as Flightradar24 states, Minsk was not the nearest airport at the time the plane was diverted, and it likely was never the fastest-to-reach airport while the plane was over Belarus, because the pilots would be prepared for a landing in Vilnius.

The plane crossed the border into Belarus at ~9:30 around (51.929851, 25.369313), 280 km from Minsk airport, 300 km from Vilnius airport, with the Vilnius runway at a favorable angle and the Minsk runways perpendicular to the shortest path from their position to Minsk. So Ryanair's statement that it was the nearest airport sounds like bullshit too. At the time the plane made the turn (starting at ~9:45), it was about 2 minutes away from leaving Belarus airspace.
I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure you can't name windows in Gnome, KDE, and Windows either.
Yes this is my biggest issue with electric vehicles. Charging it overnight to use for day trips is one thing but taking it on a cross country trip or long vacation? No thanks. My time is finite and I do not want to spend it waiting around for my EV to charge.
This. The insistence on using 0-based string offsets is purely a C thing (where it makes sense) inherited on to languages that wanted to stay close to C or appeal to C devs (even though it does not make sense). An easy way to check is looking into awk which, as a DSL for string manipulation written itself in C, deliberately uses 1-based string offsets, and where many/most common string expressions collapse to a very compact form, which makes even more sense because empty string results are interpreted as false in conditions.
Some privacy features are in the OS, but others aren’t. For example, Facebook probably doesn’t like having users see the privacy label in the App Store. It’s kind of embarrassing. Also, if Facebook could sideload, they could use restricted APIs and entitlements that the App Store would not permit.
I got sick of companies rejecting email with "+", and bought a domain to use for email (among other reasons). Now I've got a wildcard entry in DNS, so any valid local part gets routed to my inbox. So instead of "username+company@example.com" I can do "company@example.com".
Because Tesla's initial target audience is not you and me, but people who buy the fanciest, latest iPhones every year.

If you're curious, I'd recommend reading Moore's "Crossing the Chasm". I'm entirely for electric cars, but I'm part of what Moore would call the "mainstream market". I don't want a car to be amazing and cutting edge. I want it to work unobtrusively and very reliably. That means that I'm going to be hard to persuade and will want to wait for evidence.

That makes me a terrible initial Tesla customer. For a new tech product, you want early adopters, as they will happily spend money on things that don't work very well. You want the kind of people who will, sight unseen, spend $500 on a flamethrower that isn't a flamethrower. [1]

So given Musk's brand and given the size and wealth of the user base you'd need to launch a new car company, it's pretty much inevitable that Tesla (and now its competitors) were going to mine the technophiles who are happy to pay a premium for sealed-box gee-whizzery.

The good news is that the electric car market will be getting more boring over time. There a lot more people in the more conservative market segments, so although we aren't as profitable per unit as the early adopters, plenty of companies will eventually be addressing our needs.

This does look promising: responsive without a cumbersome license. What I would like to see is a 3d scatter plot that can handle up to 100K points. The view would not be limited to, and I hope I am describing this right, a "static camera angle with the viewed center of mass being rotatable". I'd like to be able to fly/zoom in to near a dot and click on it for more information. Ideally you could put it on github.io and accept user files of the form : x,y,z coordinates in first 3 columns and a description in the forth. Column 5 could be optional styling information. The user could upload file or paste in the data. When you click on the dot, you get the description. That would be very useful. Users could grab your html+js, hack it up and re-generate an html page with their data hardwired into the HTML/js for sending to collaborators on a science project. This could help people share their, for instance, t-sne plots in a very easy manner.
And is that not true? Are those people not grateful? What is your point?

Diseases with higher death rates spread less fast. You can't just imagine a disease with one characteristic changed, because that would completely alter it's epidemiological characteristics.
People get so uptight about cheap airlines (especially the cheaper it gets, as if it's supposed to get better). It's a bus in the sky that takes you 10x farther, 10x faster, and is the safest form of transportation in existence!

"Ooh I'm so cramped, and I didn't even get a free meal" so either deal with the hassle, time and cost of any other form of transit, or fork over 300 more euros for a big seat on a different airline!

I live in the US, and we almost never get Ryanair prices. I think I've paid 12 euros to fly Ryanair between two countries. That's insane.

Your point would be true if ActivityPub was a properly defined specification, but it isn't. It is voluntarily vague in many places to accommodate for the differences in implementations, which means that each implementation needs to understand how other software works to interoperate. So in practice it is more accurate to say "Protocol like Mastodon", because even if you can talk with Mastodon it doesn't mean you can talk with Pleroma or Pixelfeed or others.

More details here: https://overengineer.dev/blog/2019/01/13/activitypub-final-t...
You near on describe the first cars, which were electric and was the combustion engine that took over thru it's ease of fuel delivery and mileage.

Nice read here that history https://mg.co.uk/behind-the-wheel/electric/the-history-of-el...
I looked into this a while ago— one of the barriers was finding suitable cars to use for the donor body. Ideally you want something with high mileage, so that the engine/transmission are basically worthless, but where the body is in good shape as far as rust, paint, etc. You also probably want RWD for ease of integration.

The limit is not set, however chancellor must be voted in every 46 to 48 months.

However your second point is not correct at all, Germany had made their beurocracy specifically in such a way after WW2 that one person cannot dictate/rule the country. Every decision must pass through appropreate ministries first. This is one of the reasons COVID vaccination rollout was so slow in the beginning but after all the "approvals" were met they are vaccinating ~1m people a day. Chancellor in Germany is not even close to power of President in US, for example.
How feasible is it that people would (say, 20 years out) expect car charges in their homes by default? In my case I very rarely drive >100 miles without being home, so having a home charger would actually be _more_ convenient. I expect that is similar for most people.

It also makes me think of a world where your home car is electric, and you rent an ICE for long distance travel. Or where we have real public transit between cities and you rent an electric at your destination. Lots of interesting options that seem feasible on the surface. There will always be a subset that would be better off with ICE though I am sure.
Lime, actually ? Any data confirming that, and any explanation of such a behaviour, if true ? Like, one if my cars has around 300kw engine (400hp). How much I should lose in 10 years, if your claim is true ? And where are the losses ? I can't imagine anything besides loss of compression in cylinders, but that's tiny

> The implication is that Apple's design decision favors far more users than it doesn't.

That's some serious spurious correlation.

https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

Globally in the tablet segment Apple has a 31% market share (https://cdnen.soyacincau.com/2021/05/210503-tablets.jpg), so the number say that «Apple's design decision upsets far more users than it doesn't»

Many companies could «definitely survive without the HNer's business», the question is wether the HNer's opinions hold more value technically speaking or not.

I mean, Saudi Aramco makes much more money than Apple, could «definitely survive without the HNer's business», but I guess nobody would say that their «design decision favors far more users than it doesn't».
Interesting - they avoid Russia (it appears overflying Russia instead would also be about the same distance and involve only one overfly fee).
I don't disagree with you but I do wonder whether for sanctions to be successful relies a lot on the way the population is feeling about the regime at the start. If they population decides to dig in, then the sanctions start to have a negative effect (in terms of getting a desired outcome).

If on the other hand the population is already angry at the regime, maybe it has the desired effect.

Idle musing without supporting evidence.

I use Command+o to open a file and Command+p to print a file. It's also kinda handy to make a duplicate of a file using Command+d. Of course deleting a file is Command+Delete and ejecting a volume is Command+e. For consistency you'd think renaming a file would be Command+r but at some point in time (the first Mac?) they decided on expediency and made it Enter instead.
And how often would they need to do software updates strictly for charging and managing batteries? I would think it is far less than the updates for the "tons of bells and whistles".
Shannon was cursed by being the inventor of information theory. It seems like this wonderful thing; who wouldn’t want to invent information theory? But as an inventor, you’ll never top it.

Non-resolving or offline mail servers count to your bounce rate if you have a 3rd party service handling your outgoing mail. So for that purpose, it is an invalid address in the sense that you should avoid sending anything to it.
Are there any thorough UX studies of modern OSX vs Windows, for many of the OS UI choices and applications? While I’d agree that the OSX install process is quirky, it’s just a single example and it’s not compared to anything. It’s easy to complain about single examples of unintuitiveness in any OS - they all have them, many of them. It would be interesting to see a more complete and fair comparison, if such a thing exists.
Although I don't work in games anymore, I was recently thinking about peer-to-peer multicasting input events for prediction purposes, but using the client-server model for actual gameplay. That way you get low-latency movement prediction, with all of the perks of running a server (namely anti-cheat). When networking fast-paced games, proper prediction implementations can make or break the experience imo.

Edit: You can P2P the game state if you want, you just have to make sure it's usable for those with poorer internet connections (since you are sending/receiving much more data, position/velocity vectors etc. as opposed to just key presses, per number of players).

By what metric? AFAIK the Factor 5 games, especially Rogue Squadron III, are considered the most challenging, both due to their obscure tricks (iirc Rogue Squadron uploads an outdated audio microcode to get a "loop counter" feature back which no other games use, for example) and most complete use of the MMU mechanisms (I believe they even use the ARAM as swap transparently to the game engine, using some goofy allocator trick) - which is why Rogue Squadron III was chosen for this benchmark.

Well, why don’t we look at Chinese numbers instead if Australian in that case. See figure one here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S259005362...

For all of China, in November 2019, it looks like less than 2000 positive test swabs. The number of hospitalizations would be lower.

What are the odds that three hospitalizations would come from a single lab in healthy people? Not impossible, but not probable. Flu hospitalizations are very much clustered in the elderly and very young.

The inability to easily go to $HOME in Finder is of great annoyance to mevwhen combined with app signing. Hashicorp seems to run into this most often - download a new version of Terraform/Packer/whatever, install to ~/.terraform.d/plugins/darwin_amd64, and MacOS sternly tells me I can't run it, with zero instructions on how to proceed. Manually type the path in Finder/Go, Option+Open the binary, then you're good to go.

I understand the reasoning for protecting the end user, but like UAC in Windows, or Developer Mode options in Android, you should be able to disable these protections. If I want to run a binary, I want to run that binary.
