If a major political party prioritizes limiting the rights and freedoms of entire groups, how can we expect to find common ground with them? If you are asking people who are directly impacted by these laws to find the humanity in their oppressors, you are asking for the impossible.
Generating electrical energy isn't difficult. Distributing it is. Balancing variable generation against variable demand is even more difficult.

What you've forgotten here is that doubling or tripling the carrying capacity of electrical infrastructure isn't a trivial task. Remember that in the 50s, electrical energy was generated at large sites like the Hoover dam or the James Bay project in Quebec. It was then distributed out to houses that didn't have many high capacity electrical appliances.

Today, all that has changed with dishwashers, electric dryers and now EVs slowly becoming standard. You are making it seem like these infrastructure upgrades can be magicked into existence without decades of investment, planning and effort.

The article is right - no country is ready for the sudden change. Watch as EVs go from a rich person's toy to the mainstream and the electrical infrastructure keeps collapsing dealing with the sustained surge in demand.
570 is in that list so it seems they can?

So you're using conservative(adjective to mean slow), as not same as Conservative(political philosophy).

Because as political movements they are vey much at odds.
The Romans were something else. I was reading about the period around the Illyrian uprising recently, and learned that at that time, standard practice for a legion was to build a massive fort, trenches and all, every night they camped.

It's pretty incredible (and often terrible) what humans with hand tools can do when sufficiently organized and motivated.

The basic concept of a trench with something like a wooden barrier proximate goes back to neolithic times. Interestingly most of these sites we've found seem to not be fortifications but rather something ceremonial. It's ambiguous.
Conflating credit card #'s and personal biometrics/SSNs is your first mistake. You think they are the same, they feel the same, but the risk to the customer is so much bigger.

When a hotel copies my passport, they get a jpg. If they use Stripe, now I know they have my biometrics serialized to JSON. That feels way riskier and scarier to me, especially now that it's all centralized by Stripe.

We hear about our personal data getting leaked and hacked every day, and here is Stripe making themselves an enormous target and serializing all the data for malicious actors.

This feels like a really tone deaf misstep by the company.
WWF officially broke kayfabe 1989 way before the name change because they didn't want to spend the money necessary for live sporting events. Before that pro wrestling was regulated just like boxing or MMA, with state commissioners and taxes and medical requirements.
This seems much more accurate to my experience as a leftist. The insistence from centrist liberals that CNN/MSNBC is unbiased seems baffling and delusional.
Dude, you aren’t supposed to be paying extra for that!

You take on risk when you customize things. Other people could dislike your color choices and drive your resale value down, the trendy refrigerator you bought might be a maintenance nightmare, etc.

You are supposed to be compensated for taking on risk, which is why owning should be cheaper than renting!
Ask HN: What are you reading this month?
Seen these kind of threads from time to time, and I've got some great recommendations from them.

I'll start:

* Re-reading Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. I had forgotten the story leading up to Rhythm of War. I had forgotten how fun Sanderson's world is.

* Just finishing up Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Great book. I didn't read Artemis, but The Martian was awesome.

* Grit by Angela Duckworth. Really speaks to me and has me re-examining my own loss of focus and tenacity in pursuits, and my expectations of how long achievement takes.

I'll probably pick a few more once I'm done with these.

I don't know the thoughts and motivations of individuals but I can make generalizations about groups. The contradiction you imagined doesn't exist.
I've done something similar. If you look at what, say, the National Review thinks is important on a given day, and compare that to what the NYTimes is reporting on, it's pretty clear that we're not merely disagreeing about a particular set of facts, we're living on different planets.

Well, Home Assistant is a large project with lots of contributors, so it's not surprising that its developers don't have a singular opinion. However, this is the impression I get from the official announcements and other interactions I've seen on GitHub.

Another incident was when they deprecated/unsupported installing it on a generic Linux install last year, which they had to (somewhat) back down from after community outrage.

I had this same experience, and between this experience and the GP comment -- how in the world is asking users to do URL surgery considered a valid UX? To say nothing of the hubris of ignoring the `accept-language:` header sent from every browser since I can remember
I suppose it depends on how much you want ~all of your online activity to be attributed to your real identity, in such a way that could be easily examined by the government.
We should refund the police, and then call them!

What are you arguing about?

1. Someone mentions Fox being bad for bias in story selection.

2. I ask: why are we singling out Fox specifically? Others do it too?

3. You say: "They give Trump airtime!"

Ok? That is a difference I guess? Not got much to do with what we're talking about though?
As of Jan 1, 2020 California has come very close to these requirements. Most new construction residences (with a few exceptions) must have enough solar generation equipment to meet 100% of the buildings electrical needs.
You could put a disclaimer like people on the issue suggested. Nix users are pretty advanced anyway so I doubt he'd get that many useless bug reports.
Not sure why I'm being downvoted for what he explicitly lays out from the link above:

If users experiencing issues with the ambee library in this package, they will knock on my door. And I'm not willing to support that or accept that burden. Especially as I don't see a good repacking reason in this case.

> Seems he's just being unreasonable for the sake of it tbh; I can't see any logical reasoning behind it all.

I agree.
He is a HomeAssistant community admin and they took his side, this is a case of two FOSS communities with irreconcilable differences.
Awesome product.

Two things:

1) would love to rotate the model to see how it looks from all angles

2) being able to customize the model to look similar to me (so I can get a sense for how the clothes would fit on my body) would be awesome.
Novavax – another nanoparticle Covid vaccine
Q Anon isn’t taken seriously by very many people. It’s a blown-out-of-proportion phenomenon. The left seems to be the one that continues to promote it as if millions of people are paying attention to it. I spend a lot of time on conservative news and opinion sites and Q Anon stuff is never mentioned. Nor are any of the wacky conspiracies taken seriously. But the left loves to use that to discredit opposing viewpoints much in the same way they quickly use the “Nazi” tag when it suits their purposes.

As far as “how we got here,” the answer is pretty simple: social media shutting down debate and “fact checkers” who are really “conforming verifiers” who have been given outsized credibility.

Did Covid come from a lab, a year ago was “fact checked” by those with conflicts of interest. Yet there wasn’t any actual fact check — it used the opinions of certain officials rather than actual verifiable fact. If Fauci said it didn’t come from a lab, that’s his opinion. But was any data actually presented to dispute the assertion? None. The Appeal To Authority isn’t a valid fact-check.

The media literally ignores facts if those facts don’t fit the narrative. And, they use all sorts of rhetorical strategies to discredit the other side.

The hatred of all things Trump resulted in media organizations losing all credibility.
Do you have a link? You may be right, but such a study seems very easy to bias, even unintentionally.
It might be worth noting that people aren't necessarily either/or. I found myself not being quick on my feet in conversations at all when I was in my teens or so, but I believe I learned some of that as well when I learned more social skills in my 20's.

I'm more of a reader as well, but I'd hate to classify myself as strictly either, as it may sometimes be difficult to distinguish between a strong innate orientation and learned skills (or lack thereof).

I don't necessarily like the idea of people categorizing themselves too much since I've seen (especially young) people think of aspects like that as fundamental to themselves, only to discover that they and their skills were more flexible than they thought.

I'm not trying to tell you how to view that aspect of yourself, as you certainly know it better yourself, but I wanted to offer another perspective for the sake of other people reading into it.

If your office is basically a clubhouse, I can see how you could be miffed about getting the same salary at home but none of the benefits you used to have, and now have to make more space in your home for working environment, buying more food out of your pay for lunch or snacks or coffee, faster internet, printer ink, etc.
How exactly can you ban it without shutting down the interwebz?
If we want to address significant negative externalities that have remain unaddressed for over a decade maybe we should look into how many people we bomb on a frequent basis. Or healthcare. Or corruption in politics. Or our crumbling society.
Which was closed by the moderator..I tend to side with the author here.
I've also used gas, electric (briefly, years ago) and now induction. Induction is superb: very precisely controllable for everything from long slow simmer to nuking. The flat surfaces are much easier to keep extremely clean and also serve as extra space for putting stuff down when a given ring isn't in use. The only sense in which I preferred the old gas system was the controls themselves which were rotary dials rather than long-press surfaces. But I'm used to that now.

How would Stripe solve something like this?
I can completely relate to this. Taking time to think about something really opens up many perspectives that are not accessible at the moment.

I first noticed this when I wanted to buy something but had to save money to comfortably afford it. In many cases, by the time I had saved the money, I did not want the item any more. So, I created a rule for myself, whenever I wanted to spend on something that would take more than 500, I would take 30 days to buy it. If I still wanted to buy that thing, I went for it.

This rule is still in place. I don't think about it actively, but some kind of subconscious analysis goes on from time to time.

I have saved a ton of money that I otherwise would have spent on things that I did not need or want.

Then I incorporated some variant of the rule on other avenues of my life. It translates well to other areas as well.
Stripe raises $1B in secondary transactions; Shopify invested $350M
Yeah, back when I was debugging frontend bugs it seemed like at least 60% of them were race condition bugs. (It seems there's always at least one whenever a function depends on an XHR request's result.)
lol no it won't. This is a horrible oversimplification. Solar panels can only offset some energy requirements for a limited time in certain climates. Even if you were to install batteries in every home, the cost is monumental, battery supply is limited and you lose the economy of scale.
I think we can do both. Or at least restrict what a business can do with identification information that is mandatory, such as not being able to use it for marketing purposes or sold, and have it be temporary.

I'm sure somewhere in the big pile of comments someone else is saying this, but as another voice saying it:

1. The pandemic was weird, and likely a time when people didn't want to change jobs due to a need for stability. It seems like it would be normal to see a wave of job changes that have been basically on hold until people felt safe.

2. I'm assuming some people have had more of a chance than normal to think more about what they want out of their life and jobs over the last 18 months. For some people, this means they might make a job change that they didn't anticipate making in January 2020.

3. It's one thing to threaten to leave, and a whole other thing to actually do it. I've had co-workers who were "ready to quit" for my whole career, some of whom are still at the jobs they were ready to quit a decade+ later.

Which last bit?

From looking at the ambee repo the license appears to still be MIT; can't see any relicensing anywhere.

(And actually, as has been mentioned elsewhere, it seems like it wouldn't be possible for him to relicense in reality as the package is explicitly developed for homeassistant and as such would need to comply with homeassistant's licensing to be included as a dependency of it)

I pretty much only see clips of Tucker Carlson that are posted by liberals or leftists to point at and generate outrage.

To me, he seems like a whiner who disingenuously argues against things in a way to bolster conservative talking points. But, I expect the majority of this is selection bias, and only the 'worst' clips are making it into my filter bubble.

Agreed. If he wants to be stubborn like this he just should change his licensing so it can't be included anywhere else upstream and that would put an end to it.
If I had to guess: leftist death squads.
For Irish people who wish to subvert this order, there's a handy concept in cryptography known as deniable encryption. Essentially, users (you) may convincingly deny that a plaintext version of encrypted data exists.

VeraCrypt, a source-available encryption program, supports this form of encryption, such that you can create an encryption file, say 1GB. You place a password on the "outer" volume, so that when you enter the password, it mounts the encrypted volume and it appears unencrypted. However, you also put into place an "inner" hidden volume. When you enter the password for the inner volume, it mounts a separate encrypted volume. Adversaries cannot detect this inner volume, and when they twist your arm to unlock the encrypted veracrypt file, you can enter the password for the outer volume, keeping the secrets of the inner volume safe.
To be fair, the reason the curl author is being contacted is because (IIRC) he advertises his name and ways to contact him in curl. The point of advertising yourself is to get people to contact you, and you can't control who does (but can ignore them).
In which case I think that's the story here - this isn't so much about frenck v.s. NixOS as it is about home-assistant v.s. repackaging.

Though if that's the case it seems misleading of frenck that he hasn't clarified that this is a home-assistant policy in any of his comments around this.
I thought advertisements were usually more subtle.
Given the number of actual Trump staff CNN has hired and put on air, I don't think one can credibly argue that they are on the opposite end of the spectrum. As someone who generally politically identifies as "left", I can assure you we are quite frustrated with them.

MSNBC too! They may not have as many Trump folks on primetime panels, but their focus on dumb "Resistance" stuff is definitely not what the left wants at all (though liberals seem to eat it up).
You should because that can be a big factor in comparing returns between home ownership and equities. You can keep $250k of capital gains on your home tax free, while the lowest capital gains rate you’ll pay when selling equities is 15%. That can be a significant difference in what you take home.

It's checking for certificate status, not so much phoning home. To my knowledge, it is only sending some hashes to Apple. It is not sending any personal data.

Here is a good write-up on the issue:

https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/what-happened-to-my-mac-app...

I recommend that people not block oscp.apple.com as it has security benefits. If your threat model dictates blocking oscp.apple.com then you probably should not even be running macOS (or Windows).
I don't understand this fetishism with centrism and all opinions being treated equally, and that having made up your mind on an issue is necessarily wrong.

When it comes to an issue like, say, climate change, I spent years reading the blogosphere, reading blogs like WUWT and whatever Judith Curry would come up with, and then the rebuttals, sometimes waiting years for the science to come out.

For any issue around climate science, there's probably a web page on it at skeptical sicence. I've probably skimmed at least half the papers on that webpage. After many years of that (I'm a veteran of the mid-2000s global "pause" debate) I've made up my mind.

The idea that having made my mind is a horrible thing, is just a tactic to try to creates wedges of doubt to try to keep a zombie political idea going. One side is getting very desperate because of how incredibly wrong they've consistently been.

And implicitly I bet it isn't Fox News viewers that you see starting to listen to NPR (although I'm certainly they'll pick out some individuals that do) it is predominantly working to get the open-minded-liberal crowd and Joe Rogan viewers to spend some time letting Fox News pour information into their head in the name of being better informed about both sides.

Some news really is equivalent to trans fats and highly refined sugars for the brain. Trying to achieve "balance" there isn't actually healthy. Some of it is just bad. And the two outcomes are either that you're going to get sucked in (and not even realize it) or that you're just going to get angry at it.

>Yes and it's disturbing that you (and many others) have no interest in understanding other people.

There's an infinite number of ways you can be wrong; it isn't on everyone to hermetically disprove all wrongs to meaningfully participate in civil society in good faith.

It isn't disturbing for people to want to focus on real issues rather than discussing whether or not the president is farming baby blood to enact a global immortal one government future.
You’re welcome to lead by example, then.

CNN has gone so far downhill imo due to this. In the past five years I've seen a shrinking gap between news and opinion, where articles w/o the label are very clearly editorialized. It lowers the quality of the product and at least for me, I no longer read it as much.

That said, journalists are just humans so it's a difficult problem, especially in the heightened political climate we've had.
Shoutout to Burntsushi

He knows how to keep a good changelog https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/CHANGELOG.... it’s good to read through and see the progress.

He also cares about ergonomics as well as performance which I like. I find it much more easier to use than existing Grep tools.

Interestingly, I believe Ripgrep started off as a test harness to benchmark the Rust Regex crate (he was the author of that). It was originally not intended to be a consumer cli. I guess he dogfooded it that well it became a successful tool
http://clojurescriptkoans.com/ is a great way to get started with the essence of the language.
Thanks for sharing Michel Thomas languages. Not too long ago I wanted to learn French and instinctively as well as aided by everything else I saw I took an academic approach, notebook, vocabulary list, repetition and whatnot, in short I recreated the stressful school environment, and unsurprisingly failed miserably.

I compare that with how I learned computers/programing/digital & analog electronic design/etc... and I can help but realize that even though both where driven by curiosity, one was an adventure while the other was an adventure, and exploration and discovery which was incredibly exhilarating!
