PG doesn’t want you to talk about failed YC startups.

HN doesn’t want you to talk about failed HN systems.

One of Amazon’s leadership principles used to be “vocally self critical” but now it has been removed.

I don’t know why this trend exists but it’s disturbing. “Please don’t talk about the bad stuff here” is the mantra of modern times.

Heck, HN doesn’t even let you downvote or comment on YC job posts no matter how bad the company may be to work for.

Then we come on here and talk about fake reviews and inflated ratings as if we aren’t part of the problem.
Indeed. But did they try the right angle mirror thing on M?
If you use Gmail here's a fallback option: Gmail ignores "." in the local part. So foo.bar is the same as f.ooba.r to Gmail. Obviously quite limited and more hassle to keep track of.

I wonder if EU airlines will now start avoiding Belarusian airspace if they aren't actually flying in to Belarus. Or I wonder if they will just disclose the flightpath prior to take-off.

If I was an Russia/Belarus opposition journalist, I'd be scared shitless to fly around the EU and risk something like this happening.
you post anything remotely negative about china, you will be downvoted. idk whether its the wumao or someone else, but even on HN you can't criticize anything about the CCP/china, its just downvote. Even if you say CCP is what I am calling out and not the chinese in general, its downvote.

Users flag content on HN for dubious, political reasons all the time. Why would this need to be a conspiracy, rather than simply a vocal minority?
Well, that's part of what I meant by "it's not quite as determinative". Conway's law constrains solutions but it doesn't determine them; it's not a 100% guidepost the way "letting me see your data" almost does 100% show what the code needs to be, at least at some level of abstraction. I feel like there's some stronger formulation that may more strongly narrow down how the architecture has to look than just the org chart.

Huh! They removed that hack in iOS 14 but added “extended virtual addressing entitlement” in iOS 14.2 that allows this for real!

They both are hijacking using your definition.

Neither were in my opinion.

In both states used the powers they had to force a plane to land. Very wrong on both cases. In both cases they had the right.
Tildes is more conducive to rational discussion about trans people. People are more willing to read the science and less likely to knee-jerk their ignorant hateful opinions.
Not really, that plane was forced to land by not allowing it enter certain airspace. Very different from having fighter jets intercept and force a plane to land.

Shameful? Maybe. Hijacking? No.

Ask HN: Best resource to learn TypeScript with React?
I already know React and have suffered too much without the use of types. I wonder if there's good content out there to learn React + TypeScript. The courses I have found on youtube don't seem to help a lot. I usually follow along ,develop whatever it is that the course is developing, and then go on to developing my own stuff. Couldn't find anything that enabled me do just that.

True, but I would expect the charge level and charge rate to fluctuate as the OEM refines its software over the years.

Throttling and limiting capacity in exchange for increase durability are inherent to the lithium battery charging process. It seems perfectly reasonable that as field data comes in the OEM would refine the tune.

This is like the EV equivalent of a service bulletin that flashes a new ECU image that actuates some emissions doodad slightly differently to improve longevity or whatever but costs you a fraction of an MPG of a couple horsepower at part throttle.

Yes the messaging to consumers was clearly insufficient but I don't see anything fundamentally wrong here and I'm generally no fan of Tesla.
May be. But once you get to know something dirty about those in power and your conscience doesn't agree to be silent, your preference doesn't matter at all, you are in trouble. Ask Snowden or Manning for details.
> They would surely complain if Tesla didn't include any "protections" while charging battery

Every li-ion battery needs protection, but there's a world of difference between a performance reduction present before sale and one added after sale.

If you pay for a Porsche Boxster, they can't remotely reduce the performance to that of a Toyota Prius, no matter how good that may be for the longevity, safety and emissions.
How Laravel uses GH Actions to validate code-style and create Fixer PR's
But that assumes the original graph was accurate for a start.

Apple slowed down your phone because the battery probably couldn't provide enough power to keep it running at its original speed.

But all they need to do is say: do you want us to slow down your device/restrict its battery someway, or run it over spec and it'll be worse in the long term? And let the user pick.

But then they'd be 1000 articles about how batteries are terrible and so are the companies who use them, because terrible journalism
So state shot down passenger plane.

Thank god that it did not happen to Ryanair.
You don't have to fuck around with it! You CAN just use it like a regular locked down device, and throw it into a landfill when youre done.

The rest of us can get on with using the otherwise wasted power of all these tiny computers.

Think of the waste caused by Apples profiteering.

Just because someone doesn't win literally every event every time doesn't mean they don't have an unfair advantage. The trans women did slash up the recordbooks in the 55m dash, per even that source.

Different race types favor different physical attributes, the fact that they didn't win longer races doesn't say much about whether there was an advantage in the shorter dash.

How many trans women even compete in Connecticut high school track? The odds of the top two finishers on the entire state level being trans women are extremely low if they had no advantage.

I can certainly believe that trans women do not have any advantage if they began transitioning before puberty, but there are no restrictions on these details when looking at high school level athletics in most states.
In addition to what @mhuffman said, it is to incentivize the police and DA to look at every nook and cranny. The job of proving guilt rests with them, not the defendant. If they messed up, it’s not the defendant’s fault, so why should they suffer? (As @mhuffman referenced with new DAs)
Yes and people take advantage of that freedom to extract a terrible toll on society in lost privacy, freedom, money, terror and the like. There is no freedom for just the good people without also allowing freedom for those who prey on others.

It's like arguing that we should have no laws whatsoever because they impact your freedom to do whatever you want—but no one wants to live in that society. If you don't like Apple or Google or Microsoft that is still your privilege but arguing that is what everyone should have is disingenuous.

The Internet supports your freedom to say or do whatever but people every day show that without some limits everyone suffers. You might think you are smart enough to defeat all those who will try to take you out, but there are much smarter people than you or I out there and lots more of them, and many of them are evil.
Let's see, will fly with them tomorrow. Faro->Porto (550km). 9.95 euros. 50 minutes flight

Train-> 6 hours, which is usually 7+ due to delays (last one I did in December was 7.20 making me late for a training) and costs 39 euros (20 if I buy 1 month in advance)

National airline -> No direct flight, need to fly to Lisbon and then Porto, total around 4-5 hours (two flights + layover), 80+ euros last time I checked. Service exactly the same (last time I used them, not even a glass of water was offered due to short fly times)

Car -> 5 or so hours, around 100 euros taking in account tolls + gas (is ok if 2+ people are doing the trip though)

Yeah, I will take the short sitting space (fuck, I would even stand in this route if needed, I have had longer train rides where I had to stand).
Macs were around when Microsoft was shut down over browser bundling. Perhaps duopoly or monopsony would be more precise terms.
It seems to be a common antipattern for somewhat smaller sites to make the email address the primary key on the account too, and then it's virtually impossible to ever change it after that. As you scale up it becomes impossible to ignore the fact that people change email addresses sometimes, but I've lost track of the number of smaller sites that assume it's a safe primary key.

There's a base microcode in ROM and the patches are stored in a small piece of RAM built into the CPU, the whole sequence of patches is applied on every boot. Generally the BIOS will apply all the patches it has stored and then the OS will finish the sequence if the BIOS version wasn't already the latest.

It's a long list for some CPUs, i.e. Sandy Bridge was released in 2011 and got its most recent microcode update in 2020.

I see your point for decentralised systems, "eventual consistency" is an unavoidable evil in many cases there at least if you don't want a performance hole caused by distributed transaction requirements.

But otherwise, I disagree strongly.

> feigned idea about data integrity but it's mostly bullshit

I call BS on your call of BS.

> The other common situation is...

If that is common in your production environments, then I never want to work with your production environments.

> foreign keys just get in the way.

Disable them, do the jiggery-pokery, and then replace them. Again, but not in production systems.

If FKs are an inconvenience day-to-day then you have something seriously wrong somewhere. They are protection against bugs and other unpredictables causing corruption of data that other code later relied upon being correct.

> The researchers suggest that tardigrades would likely not survive an impact with a planet if they traveled across space on an asteroid (as some have suggested), as such impacts tend to be at higher speeds

Planets have atmospheres. The terminal velocity for an asteroid on earth will be 100-200 meters per second which is well below that threshold, not sure how they arrived at this conclusion.
It actually isn't really that unusual to have things like this in a statically typed language. Scala and Haskell have similar limitations with tuples
Well bad news for all gas powered car owners: performance and mileage will degrade over time. Maybe not by a software update (unless you own a specific diesel car) but they will definitely degrade and quite significantly as well.

Edit: do note this applies to older cars, it's a bit slower than EVs but 10year old cars will not have the same mileage and power as a new one even with the same specifications.
I had a similar drop in battery myself. It used be 254 and in a few weeks it dropped to 220. At that time they also changed the representation to show theoretical miles instead of raw miles as the default. So they used some algorithm to show higher range somehow. I didn’t use that representation and instead got the shock of my life when I saw the drop. Tesla support said there is nothing wrong with the battery. I would be really interested in knowing more about this case and what exactly happened.
For example, there have been many documented cases in the past few years of people getting fired over supporting the BDS movement - or in a few cases, not actively supporting anti-BDS movements.

That's interesting! From my (admittedly very weak) understanding of Cyrillic, I'd expect Беларусь to be pronounced with a "y" sound as part of the "e", similarly to the vowel at the start of Ельцин (Yeltsin).

Presumably that's because of a lack of orthographic knowledge on my part... or is it something more subtle (say, the belorusian language differing from Russian)? I have a vague memory of languages in the former Yugoslavia being either "ekavsky" or "ijekavsky".

I am long past over crank windows. Like decades over having to crank down a window.

That said, you could probably build this pretty easily - folks have been converting old vehicles into electric cars for, well, decades as well.
One could argue that figher jets were not used at that time to keep the pretence of legitimacy of the entire episode. And that pretence is important, because when you publicly declare that the force is now the standard, the most unscrupulous bully wins over bullies with moral limits or political liabilities. Belarus, on the other hand, in its current political environment has no image to lose.

No, no! It was about how interested you were, not how skilled.

These things are exciting to me

And there you go: you're the real McCoy. When I say, "programmers knew how to use soldering irons and slide rules," I mean that you, a programmer among other things, would get together with friends at an astronomy club meeting, and somebody would know how to estimate a rough comet orbit from some observations with pencil and slide rule, and everyone else would say, "ooh, show me how!", even though the Naval Observatory was going to do it for you and do it better. Yes, but how can I do this magic myself? Most programmers were the kind of people who wanted these other skills but didn't necessarily have them.

I'd go to a hamfest barely knowing how to spell "ohm", discover someone building his own computer, and he'd show me how to solder a joint that didn't look like a little silver snowman, and I'd teach him that, no, surprisingly, there is more than one algorithm for sorting, and we'd both hear that someone had just picked up a communications satellite overhead on his HeathKit shoebox receiver, and we'd run off to see it.

> Another reason it doesn't work is that networks used by humans need policing to be usable by anyone but the most advanced and psychologically resilient users

Does policing need to be centralized? I seem to remember having a better time visiting small special interest forums spread around the web than I've had with the kind of everyone-everything-social networks that are ubiquitous today. They were typically moderated by some 1-5 volunteers from the community. If you didn't like their policies or the moderators you could use a different forum. The option to "vote with your feet" was more prevalent.

Even in large scale networks I think self-trusted blocklists could work to limit noise without any central authority on what is acceptable. It wouldn't prevent users from watching porn or discussing terrorism on their own accord, I guess, but that seems to be a problem with the current mainstream social networks as well.
> Blockchain is proposed for various things like, for example, land registries. They have to be kept around indefinitely long. In many countries financial institutions are required by law to keep financial transactions around for 4 years. Ans so on.

If you have a copy of the latest block and the older verified block headers, you can trustlessly verify older blocks that people give you.

> But yeah, sure, go ahead and remove all historical data "because new transaction is mathematically valid".

Archival nodes– nodes that store full history– still exist and are still needed. You can query them from a normal full node and get their blocks.
I can name off the bat a lot of possible reasons For example, older people have more money and less debt. Medicare and Social Security. Less responsibilities. Less to gain and less to lose.

Big Bait Worm Knows It Has a Problem
Okay, I'm not sure why people use software to do the work that hardware has solved decades ago. Like, I know that pearls come in various shapes, sizes, and weights but they're discrete objects. I would have assumed a simple machine similar to an egg counter would've already been on patent for such uses just for pearls. I mean the ML use case is still neat but I always feel that people always grab computers for the wrong reasons for tasks that aren't that novel. Just my two cents.
I wouldn't call it intuitive, but highly consistent.

Agreed. Why do all electric cars also need software updates and tons of bells and whistles? Just because I want electric doesn't mean I also want a touchscreen console etc.
Well, it used to be consistent, maybe back in the days of System 6. Nowadays some apps you install from the App Store, some you install by opening a disk image and dragging to Applications, some you install by running an installer, some you install via Homebrew...

Belarus was home to VERY large protests last year, which were quashed not with compromise but with state force. This is not a stable government, at all.

It's less what Protasevich did per se and more that Lukashenko desperately needs to be seen as unopposable. The problem with employing crackdowns as a means to ensure stability is that you need to keep escalating so long as the opposition isn't completely crushed.

We're seeing the same thing happening in Russia right now, though on a much slower fuse.

- telnet mx1.email.com 25

- validate SMTP handshake

- Start a connection: EHLO email.com

- mail from:<sender@youremail.com>

- rcpt to:<recipient@email.com>

Obviously, this might be outside the capabilities of some hosts or users. There's a bunch of services that expose this workflow for you as an api. (https://trumail.io/, for example)
