I think the response to your claims about who you are is likely to be because it’s neither verifiable, nor relevant to your arguments here. It’s what you are saying that people are responding to. Not your nationality.

> I asked this extremely aggressive zepto person

I’m curious if you can quote anything in support of your description of me as ‘aggressive’.

Also, you have made it clear that you are an activist who is against many US actions, but what makes you think anyone here is “anti-China?’”.

Most people in the thread seem to regard both the criticisms of the US and, the China’s oppression of the Uighurs as credible.
>Since 1971, unfettered monetary inflation has been used to siphon wealth from the people for the benefit of a segment of rich elites close with the federal reserve.

Not deciding to arbitrarily tying the dollar to a random commodity makes the dollar more efficient. I can see how the wealthy disproportionately capture this benefit. However, it doesn't follow that people close to the Fed benefit more than anyone else does. Private equity and venture capitalists are further from the fed than banks, but have grown even faster.

Also, if you wanted to stop inflation, why not just do it another way like forcing a debt ceiling or limiting how much money can be created to a rate similar to that which gold is mined? Tying your money to a volatile commodity seems like the worst way to do it.
So turn it off if it worries you. Keep in mind thumbnail rendering is sandboxed[0]. It's Linux, the reason I like it is that it doesn't try to prevent you from doing whatever you want.

I'm not sure I like the definition given. It makes it sound like it is an alternative version of the program that is often easier to read.

I think the key element of source code is that this is what is written and read by programmers -- it is akin to the secret recipe for Coke.
This is precisely the migration I'm planning on doing in the next few weeks with pglogical under the hood for replication. Seems like the atomic switch is much easier than any sort of problem that could stem from conflict or data duplication errors while in a bi-directional replication strategy.

It's extremely easy to access the value of your home, home equity lines of credit are used all the time.
I know you didn't mean it that way but the concept of "not aging well" and Rolling Stones gives me a music-ish allergic reaction ;)
I suspect that hawki was assuming that a WORM SSD would be based on a different non-flash storage medium. I don't know any write once media that has similar read/write access times to an SSD.

FWIW, there are WORM microsd cards available but it looks like they still use flash under the hood.
It will until you upgrade your Ubuntu version and you open it up to find a message that "your file manager is deprecated. use this crappy fork with fewer features instead", only to have it abandoned after a few years because the devs for the fork got butthurt.

I'm so glad I ditched Linux. Got tired of losing features because of people's egos, and being told ffmpeg was deprecated when it really wasn't became the final straw.
My wet dream: MS buys Canonical and Windows + Ubuntu become one.

As a Devops / sysadmin the biggest value MS brings to the table is Azure AD/MDM/PIM. I feel like we really have stepped up our security game with those tools.

I just wanted some Linux distro that had something equivalent. Ubuntu 21 already has native AD integration.

Must be a sign right?
IE11 support was tied to Windows 10, so now we finally have an official EOL for it. (though I don't see that mentioned in the article)

We'll see.

It is however a LoRa connection. It's maximum transmission rate is 27kbps. Typically though most devices use a lower speed longer range transmission mode. If we assume the absolute worst case scenario, that somehow the gateway is being fully 100% used, at absolute maximum speed for an entire month, that is 1109 MB of data.

Which is, like, a TV show or two of throughput. It's a drop in the bucket.

I would be shocked to hear of a user who sees even 1/10th that much traffic. Most communications will use slower transmit rates. I can't imagine any scenario where even 20% of the available airtime is used: this is for some infrequent device telemetry & sensor reporting. I'd be shocked to hear of anyone seeing 100MB of bandwidth usage from Sidewalk.

People are super up in arms & pissy about this, & frankly, I think they can go fly a kite. Making mountains out of mole hills. It's a boring brouhaha over next to nothing. People have no sense of scope or scale, and are just freaking out. ISPs will not notice this drop in the bucket. Apple already makes similar use of your bandwidth without telling you, as does Tile, as do probably many. But we really really are being ultra-hyped up to get super angry at Amazon, and it's just stupid.
The only reason people on HN have hate for the post office is they are influenced by capitalists who want another industry to “disrupt.” American oligarchs have been declaring war on public services since the New Deal, and over time American workers have sadly been propagandized to buy into it.

As a result, the U.S. Post Office is not what it used to be (it used to offer banking services!!!) but it’s still one of the best things we have left. Not to mention its glowing record of equal employment.
yea theyve had some interesting names alright. "windows phone 7 series" is one that comes to mind. it was a bit of a mouthful compared to "iphone", which is probably why they shortened it after but its still amazing that they announced that name in the first place
I find this a super interesting question. I always assumed that long term stability of electronic non-volatile memory is worse than that of magnetic memory. When I think about it, I can't think of any compelling reason why that should be the case. Trapped electrons vs magnetic regions; I have no intuition which one of them is likely to be more stable.

There is a question on stackoverflow about this topic with many answers but no definitive conclusion. There seem to be some papers touching the subject but at a glance I couldn't find anything useful in them.

Its not wet lab work, but there is ENORMOUS amounts of biological/genomic data at places like the Protein Data Bank [1] and through the NIH[2] (among countless others). Building something like a genome annotator or cross-species DNA/RNA/Protein comparator might not be the most sexy but you'll need some familiarity with these types of tools if you want to do any (successful) gene editing.

Towards wet lab, a lot of the actual reagents (DNA oligos, enzymes, etc.) are not going to be easy to get for personal use (for obvious reasons), but an understanding of how these work is going to be necessary. You'll need to know how to use PCR but you won't be able to get an instrument for under a few hundred dollars on eBay, so you could program/build your own thermocycler (for example using a spare CPU[3]).

If you want to participate in these types of experiments without getting your hands wet, you can also check out the online games Eterna[4] (for RNA design, out of Stanford) or FoldIT[5] (for protein design, out of UWash). I used to be involved in the lab that runs Eterna and some of the stuff they're working on is very cool - mRNA vaccines, artificial ribosomes, and fluorescent molecular sensors.

What's even more of a joke is most peoples unawareness of how uncollaterlized/leveraged the __existing__ banking system debts are and are complaining about USDTs cash levels… like people never heard of the eurodollar markets…

~48.5% of long dated (gte 10 year maturities) of IG USD corp bonds are rated BBB (basically 1 notch above junk), and 97.4% of the same bonds are __uncollateralized__ (aka S-NT, aka Senior Unsecured…)… this is worse than the run up into 2007-2008… thousands and thousands of CUSIP's backed by nothing in the same way people rip on USDT…

The "regulations" haven't stopped the banks and corporates building up leverage in all sorts of novel ways that have yet to enter textbooks these bureaucrats will spend decades to study (and still be behind), and they sure as hell wont stop it from happening in DeFi…
By whose fiat can the supply of Bitcoin be inflated?

And are precious metals fiat by the standard you've laid out? Or are they commodities strictly on thin premise that you can use silver as a disinfectant, etc?
I read through your answers in that thread and really enjoyed them. Thank you for taking the time to do that work. Have you considered consolidating those ideas into a blog post or similar? It sounds like you have some expertise in this area or maybe just like to research. Either way, I think others would really enjoy having access to your seemingly well thought out analysis in a place that isn't the HN comment section.
The windows hating is so boring and childish. Windows, and particularly Windows 10, is a very good OS. It's not even open source advocates that dislike it so much. I think most Linux users would admit Windows is a solid option, if just not for them. It's usually just Mac fans.
Agreed. For most software I just want it to tell me how it thinks I should use it. Being flexible is awesome, but doing it the way they want often is faster. I can customize later.
What I meant is that the author of Kopia could have done that and made their life a lot easier compared to starting all the way from scratch. But I posted that before realizing that Kopia is barely a year younger than Restic.

But of course it could also just be what u/poronski said in a sibling comment. His Noodly holiness knows I make a lot of software that already exists just because I enjoy the making and having it customized. In fact I think I also started... let me `stat` that directory... yup, in 2016 I started working on (and abandoned) my own implementation of encrypted backups. Also because online storage prices were through the roof (~40x the hardware cost price with servers and bandwidth included) and I thought I could do that cheaper.
I built this Internet forum that is similar in structure to Reddit and HN. For the moderation system, each user uses their own user whitelist. I thought it was an interesting idea because I don't know of any forums that use whitelists as the primary moderation mechanism.

I'm happy that abstraction has been working well for operating systems. I always think that one day, porting the OS from one device to another is as simple as copying over a VHD file.
Lol. Although, at least for open source, by the time a hacker has an exploit prepared, someone will have rewritten the code.
> We're big Vim users ourselves, and designed CodePerfect 95 with first-class Vim support from the beginning. It basically feels like real Vim.

Your characterization of OSS is correct, but free software was built around individual empowerment and equity of access, which are liberal principles, not mutual benefit which is a leftist principle. Stallman is a civil libertarian and perhaps a democratic socialist, but as far as I know has never identified himself as a Marxist nor does his work lean on class analysis.
We should be pouring the money we pour into universities into high schools. We should set the bar higher for what we expect of high school students. We should create vocational programs so that kids come out of high school with skills that help to improve society. If you want to improve society, give kids a sense that they can make a difference and be functional members of society.

We should also be pouring money into early childhood development. We should setup community centers for expecting/new mothers. Women can go to these community centers for support, education, and to be with other mothers.
For home and cubicle use, including almost all SW development I totally agree.

On the other hand, I support a lot of production lines and test tools running Windows-based applications and there are two big conflicting drivers:

1) specialized hardware often comes with brittle SW and the defensive move is to not upgrade Windows hardly ever

vs.

2) vulnerabilities fixed in newer OS versions are often required by our IT staff, you don't want a production line to go down because of WannaCry or whatever

So often we disconnect ancient (e.g. Windows XP!) systems from the network and move files by thumb drive or even floppy
It’s obnoxious because while it seems like they keep adding features to the former that I’m used to using the latter for.

The other day, I was trying to set a static IP on a VM. Apparently the new Setting app has an option, but for whatever reason, it would change the IP settings. So I went into the classic network adapter options and set it there. That seemed to work, but the Settings app still didn’t show the adapter configured with a static IP. So I ran up config, and everything checked out thankfully.

Old one is still cooler because you can add custom items in it :^)

Your comment is about as insightful as someone pointing at rotten teeth from a person that doesn't brush their teeth as an example why brushing them doesn't work.

There are people that suffer from this self afflicted syndrome and it's not easy to change your lifestyle into a healthy one. Hiding behind words like night owl doesn't help you if you want to change yourself however.

And if you don't want to change yourself, then just admit to yourself that this is the lifestyle you want to have.

There is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to stay up late/sleep in. It is however a decision you make and not a biological necessity.

All monkeys (except for one species) do have hair all over their body. It is very useful to protect their skin from external influences like cancer causing UV radiation and heat/cold. So it is not at all surprising that humans have some unique skin diseases.

Lubrication is not going to help if you try to fix an object that is too big into a small hole. There are so many lubricants involved in a child's birth that it seems pretty unlikely that the child's skin could offer a real benefit.

I am not a fan of TL;DR but this article is BS.

Because wages rise with inflation too. A very simplistic explanation is that inflation hurts those that save/lend cash and helps those the own assets & borrow cash. It tends to be the poor that suffer because they save in cash & it's easier to suffer as a poor person.

We can say that people should not be selfish all the time. That will not change a simple fact: people ARE selfish.

Yes, generally people do want to help those in need - usually in exchange for some respect and karma improvement. The "give the money and fuck off with your advice" approach won't cause much compassion.
As noted below that comment, this EOL date was entered in 2015, by default, Microsoft commits to ten years of support for new Windows versions, and this is all that is.

People are getting excited about the news in a couple weeks, and looking for hints. And bloggers who don't know obvious things about Microsoft like the Product Lifecycle, make stupid posts that go viral.

What's black culture? I know Chinese culture, Thai culture, Japanese culture, African culture. I know Christian culture, buddhist culture, etc etc.

Black culture does not exist. To me it's just US culture.
What do we do when choice conflicts? Say, if a black family wants to send their kid to local school in a predominately white neighborhood, and there is a limited capacity?
The comment I wrote in response was 'may simply mean missing the tiny checked-by-default "don't not subscribe me" checkbox'. That doesn't describe all cases, just many common cases, hence the "may". If the deal is "free music if you subscribe" or "sign up to our newsletter and get free music", and that's presented in an obvious and non-deceptive way, and people sign up anyway, then sure, that's a legitimate subscription. (And people will still mark it as spam if they don't actually want it, and that's something to take into account when thinking of designing a system like that.)

And if the deal is "free music! Also, check this clearly identified box that's currently not checked if you want to subscribe to our newsletter", that's also a legitimate subscription; some people will still mark that as spam, and that's just something newsletters have to deal with, but I have marginally more sympathy for that case because spammers have somewhat ruined the concept of expecting reasonable unsubscribe links in unexpected mail.

But if the deal is "free music! (well-hidden fine print: leave this box checked to subscribe to our newsletter)", and someone misses unchecking the box, that's spam, and it should get marked as spam, and that newsletter should have serious deliverability problems; that's spam filtering working exactly as it should work.

Yep they do that too but it's not risk free for physical stores because they take up shelf space.
