How about the person being asked if they will provide their data. It’s not hard.
From the hackaday link you can load alternate firmawares but its not so easy due to the coil potentially interfering with the programmer.

You must have multiple copies of data. Assume you always have one less copy than you actually have. Drives fail for any number of reasons.

Cloud backup is perfectly fine as long as it's one of those copies -- I cloud backup my desktop and it saved me from a lot of loss.
Maybe that explains why it never loads
I felt the same way 2.5 years ago and finally picked an iPhone for the first time. After years of supporting Google’s nexus line and trying Samsung devices, the writing was on the wall – Android long term support is nonexistent. You get two years of updates on Android devices, then you are left with sporadic updates and broken features ranging from Bluetooth to cameras to privacy. I don’t regret switching to an iPhone at all.
Interestingly, we humans actually have more than just Hubble floating around up there in the way of telescopes.

The 90's dot com gold rush is the rhyme to the crypto gold rush. Lots of talk about ecommerce, revolutionary tech, etc. The 2000's saw the sobered outcomes: ads, ads, ads. All the apps were just conduits to adtech - very wide marketing funnels. Nearly all the actual services had been demonstrated before in a non-monetized, pre-Web context.

A16Z is correct in saying that the dot com boom had a major build-out aspect. It needed broadband deployment and intensive consumer marketing. Cryptocurrency has so far demonstrated itself to be more like a bottom-feeder on hardware resources; hardware not being used for something obviously more valuable gets repurposed into mining of some kind, and energy negative uses have so far been accommodated through various kinds of theft of either the energy itself(in industrialized mining) or the compute time(in malware). In this light, the tendency towards specialized compute is not shown to be universal, but part of a set of interlocking arms races - securing systems and energy resources better, finding proofs of work with broader applicability across different kinds of hardware, and creating demand for hardware that is more efficient at those proofs that exist.

Cryptocurrency in application is likely to be a one-note phenomenon in the same way that the internet boom became an ad boom - the same services with a little speculative cherry on top. It has a big inherent application simply by being decentralized and tradeable. It can be worse on other dimensions and still succeed by being really good at that one thing, financializing the world in greater degrees, and pushing the arms race forward.

Responding to the post you linked, I notice this all the time with corporate policies. If a property management company adds a new kind of qualification to get an apartment, that didn’t exist 10 years ago, soon every company has it. If an insurance company starts using a third party to verify your information, soon they’re all doing it. So bars to meet basic needs get higher, and you can’t get around it by shopping around or moving to another city. Or not for long.

But you did respond with wild accusations, in violation of HN site guidelines.

Since you didn’t take the charitable effort to Google “measurement artifact”, here you go, allow me to provide a Wikipedia article on artifacts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artifact_(error)

Greg Egan (the geometer and sci-fi writer) had a similar (if much less harmful) issue for years, which he blogged about at https://www.gregegan.net/ESSAYS/GOOGLE/Google.html .

"We made a profile of you, and if you think it's wrong, you'll have to register and share the right info with us" has been one of the safest giveaways of data hucksters. I used to think Google was the one exception, but by now I believe I should have trusted the rule.

At least someone is having fun with it: https://www.forgednfast.com/why-was-google-search-telling-pe....
The leaked info is that there is no evidence for or against it being aliens and that it is not a domestic asset. I don’t think foreign assets have been completely ruled out but we’d better hope that’s not the explanation.

I would say it's exactly the opposite of intended. ROTH IRAs were never intended for professional investors to avoid taxes.

Almost bought one of these, but opted for a raspi and usb3 external drive instead. Works great with Time Machine. https://saschaeggi.medium.com/use-a-raspberry-pi-4-for-time-... was my guide, though I deviated by using ext4 instead of hfs, and didn't need avahi.
By that logic _nothing_ is a backup. A disconnected hard-drive could be lost in a fire, theft, physical damage, you could stop paying your rent and your landlord could repossess it...

Telling people that any redundant copy that isn't 100% reliable (i.e., everything) isn't a backup is not a good way to get people to take backups.
I'm open to the possibility that there are bugs in the sensor software or hardware but what I can't seem to explain is the situations where you have many different systems all seeing the same thing at the same time. I believe in at least some of these cases you have one or more pilots with visual, sensors on at least one nearby aircraft, radar from multiple ships in the supporting carrier groups, etc. Even if the whole network of instrumentation had been hacked by some malware to produce fake results, you still have the humans in the loop seeing things too.
Good that we have a steady stream of diversions from real issues by government reports on UFOs, diversity, rainbows etc.

So clearly it was bad for Canada to convert the culture of the people they colonized...

and you're saying it's bad for Europe to convert the culture of people who are... ACTUALLY MOVING IN?

Sounds like we're damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Should white countries, people and culture simply cease to exist?

You're right. The website right now was written for existing NixOS users.

They're also the initial target demographics, if only because this is a limited amount of developers in what is a cross-section of two niches: Non-Android Mobile Linux and NixOS users.

But you're totally right. Once it's "ready enough" for any end-user, we'd want to make it clear "why Mobile NixOS rather than another Non-Android Mobile Linux?"

Seems like a reasonable response from someone who sleeps in their car and likely can't afford to replace the part being stolen. And every news article of someone being shot or crushed as the jack fails makes it a little less likely someone else will try it.

Ideally the police would crack down hard on theft to prevent individuals needing to deal with it.
> What does that have to do with anything? I literally have no idea what you're trying to imply.

It means that government budget can be eventually consistent, unlike our personal budgets. Wealth is a leading indicator of income, and we all know that the vast majority of the ultra-wealthy will eventually pay taxes once they liquidate their wealth. When that happens, they will pay more in taxes than you or I, especially once you factor in inflation (which is one of the reasons why the long-term cap gains tax rate is so low to begin with, everywhere around the world).

Realistically, the government is already spending the money it expects to receive in eventual income tax collections from the ultra-wealthy. The best-faith attack on wealth is mostly around concentration of power, rather than tax revenue or even "fairness" relative to the middle class (the US has by far the most progressive taxation in the developed world[1][2][3]).

Bugs that appeared on camera, radar, and human vision at the same time.
There will certainly be a version available for offline installations. It won't be marketed toward consumers because offline access is now a "pro" feature they can charge extra for. It will be given to deep pocketed organizations that say "we use air gapped computers and have money to burn."
Haha at your edit, you really should take the advice of the people replying to you. Making 5k every few weeks is still close to a 90k a year salary and about 30k more than the US mean.
Sorry -- that was glib. The expulsion of the Acadians stained the honour of the British Crown. War and insurrection complicate the history, but it was not fair-dealing.

The title of the article is literally "Why Gen Z is ditching traditional investments".

Probably not but that doesn't mean that a market cap of ~1.5T is justified or likely to last. Good thing they're young and will have some time to replenish their losses. I was having a look yesterday and one of the biggest gainers with a market cap of ~$700,000,000 was BakeryCoin... yeah ummmm okay... that makes sense.

> Looks like you're gonna have to get used to it.

Sure. In the meantime give me some MSFT and AMZN thanks. You know... companies that actually do things... and that you probably use every day.
I was interested in what made the book obscene. This article discusses it: https://somanybooksblog.com/2011/10/03/ulysses-update-episod... In short, it contains a description of a man masturbating in public, though heavily clouded by innuendo. By the logic of an obscenity law, and assuming one could actually understand what was going on, I can see how it would be banned.
This is what Canada does with its Roth equivalent, the TFSA.

Is there any citation for this? Asana’s stock has been absolutely bananas recently.
The videos are only debunked if you assume the debunk is conclusive, and that any other corroborating evidence counter to benign explanations doesn't exist.

This doesn't mean the videos are showing (still) UAPs, but that's not the same as saying they are debunked.

With 60+ hard drives in a single enclosure, you want all of the processing power, PCIe lanes, and bandwidth you can get.

There are a small number of high end ARM server boards that could do it, but you’re not saving much money at that point. Might be more expensive due to lack of scale.

Amortize a server-grade CPU and motherboard across 60+ high capacity drives and it’s not really worth pinching pennies at the risk of lower performance.
Didn't they do that in America too? My Google Pixel 3 got an auto-update last spring that I didn't approve of nor ask for, that included a covid-19 tracking doodle. It said it would only be functional when both Bluetooth and location were turned on. I rarely turn either of those on at the same time but I hated the invasion of my privacy.
Just impose a tax when capital gains exceed some annual threshold averaged over a time period (say 5 years). Also, make everything after the first, say, $1m taxable on withdrawal at cap gains rates. It’s super easy to fix this.
If I were to guess, the money is actually in writing about the experience and parlaying it to an entry into Angel or VC.
Cloud backups are just one layer of a robust backup strategy. A copy on your desk, one in your closet, one at your parents, one in Backblaze, one in Glacier, etc.

“It’s not a backup until you restore it.”
It shouldn’t require a HN front page story to fix something like this
This will forever remain hilarious.
Then people irresponsibly storing single copies of critical data on Dropbox raise the cost for more responsible users, because upon loss Dropbox has to pay out the high value of the loss to the irresponsible user, but pay next to nothing to the reponsible users, who already have multiple backups or store less critical data.

It should at least be a tiered offering with different liability caps.
> because doing so would cost a great number of users

Would it? Like, Google isn’t going to boot you for running AdSense on your site.

I’m guessing the money is made off search engine visitors rather than recurring visitors that would figure out how to do it by command line.
Or just press the windows key on the keyboard. It’s amazing how many people on windows use the mouse as the only ui input. After years of working with a mac and linux, I get cramps in my hand when working with mouse for too long.

>dual-root-type setup where they update the inactive root, boot into it,

Fedora-IoT effectively does this with rpm-ostree + greenboot.

Greenboot specifies a series of directories under /etc that organizes your custom scripts (scripts that must not fail, scripts that may fail, scripts to run on success, scripts to run after previous failed, etc) then it marks your current ostree as either being active or auto-rollsback into previous.
Yeah, I understand that they are currently the same, I'm just saying that as Apple hasn't locked down the ABI yet so they could in the future choose to ship a new copy of all the libraries (as they do with x86_64h) for arm64e (well, split out arm64 slices) and for that ABI allow the use of x18. It would be pretty dumb, but it's possible.
do you guys anticipate an uptick in Linux/BSD/Mac adoption?
I think we’re going to discover that the people operating these sophisticated instruments aren’t properly trained on how to handle anomalies in their data. One of them was simply an out of focus nightvision system with a triangle focal ring. The tic tac video is most likely a large sea bird and the fighter pilots didn’t properly understand how parallax at high zooms looked. This YouTube video is pretty snarky but it’s a decent overview of it. https://youtu.be/VCH7BWGpl5s
The positive effect is that some workers will earn higher wages. One obviously wouldn't expect it to affect unemployment in a positive way. It also wouldn't affect poverty in a positive way if the affected workers weren't below the poverty line to begin with.
Windows is extremely hostile to user's privacy, usability, and anything else you can imagine.

True, they're likely gray.
Since all of this material was published together and is coming from the same sources, I think even just a few of the videos being debunked damns the rest of it. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link. I am confident they are lying about those two videos, and that gives me good reason to doubt everything else they've published even if I can't find the tell-tale flaws in the other material.

The way I see it, the pilots are lying, probably as part of a special 'retirement plan' of getting book deals pandering to kooks. The US Navy on the other hand is being cagey, making statements that might technically be true but deeply misleading[0], and aren't directly contradicting the pilots. My guess is the USN decided these pilots' lies serve the Navy's interests as well.

[0] Navy claims the GoFast video is: "Subject Area: UAV, Balloons and other UAS" ... well it's a balloon, so they're 'not lying'...

Their peak stock price was like 20% higher than right now. With a lot of similar cloud companies hitting all time highs, Twilio’s market cap would exceed $75B if they hit all time high again. Acquisitions can do quite a bit. That’s how Salesforce runs :). Twilio bought Segment for $3.2 in stock.
Anyone can purchase shares of a company they found. You can file paperwork for a few hundred dollars and immediately own 100% of the shares of your own company.

Another advantage of doing this on separate VMs on Qubes is it makes it easy to comply with end-of-contract requirements to destroy all data. Just delete the VMs, and if needed, old backups.

The Pentium was a big deal due to the incorporated FPU (which was separate and comparatively slow on 368 and 486). With the Pentium high-end PCs were nearly as fast as, but much cheaper than, Unix workstation, even for typical workstation workloads, which was the beginning of the end of those.

The whole problem is that Anbox is distributed as Snaps which is disliked by folks from many non Ubuntu-like Linux distributions. It would be interesting if there was a docker image with Anbox pre-installed that allowed playing with Android apps with zero configuration and setup.

No, actually, that was where things stood BEFORE this injunction. The phone company is an intermediary party, with a relationship to at least one of the parties to an alleged infringement. The whole point of this injunction is that it applies to us as a party with NO relationship to the alleged infringing parties. It relies upon a German law that says that uninvolved bystanders are also liable.

Yeah, I mean right-to-left, in response to the question the article asks: Why have I never seen... ...a stack language that evaluates right-to-left?

it's because the tokens are evaluated in the order they are consumed by the parser. But now that I think about it, the tokens only look left-to-right because that's how the text is displayed. So what's really happening is that tokens are evaluated in FIFO, and there's no reason the tokens for (a b +) couldn't be written as (+ b a).
