Nope. All my Room & Board furniture bought 10 years ago turned out to be duds, as I reviewed on Yelp 3 years ago:

Don't be fooled by the glitzy showrooms and "made in America" promises of quality, this chain sells essentially disposable furniture. When we were expecting our first child 7 years ago, we moved from an apartment to a single-family home. We wanted to also upgrade from IKEA and equivalent to proper furniture. I bought some heirloom pieces from Thos. Moser (a dining table, two end-chairs, a coffee table, a rocking chair and two foot stools) but they are quite expensive, and we got many other pieces from Room and Board: a queen bed, nightstands, two dressers, six Thatcher dining chairs, Pisa leaning bookshelves, side tables and a coffee table with rounded angles). Unfortunately after 7 years the furniture turned out to be much less durable than I expected. The finish on the coffee table is worn and ugly, the bed required extensive work even though we only use a mattress, no boxsprings, and the spokes on the Thatcher chairs are coming unglued. A proper Windsor chair like the Thatcher should have "through-holed and wedged" construction that ensures the spokes don't move. The Moser chairs have that, of course, and in retrospect I deeply regret cheaping out. I could have bought 2 buy-it-for-life Moser chairs for the price of the 6 Thatcher chairs that are now essentially kindling. To add insult to injury, Room and Board refuses to stand by their product and are refusing to repair them. In the Bay Area, we've had good luck with Hoot Judkins furniture, which are better quality for the price (not all though, they have a wide range that goes from meh to Amish-grade).
Many organisations collect and have lots of data about me.

The difference with Google, FaceBook, etc. is that they have far more data from far more different sources and they have far more money and far more power to put all together (this is the real danger) and get a picture of me, even I do not get.

And now they use this to increase their power and income and they do use this to manipulate elections, the thoughts, feelings and actions of people way more then ever in history before.

Anyone who does not fear this is willingly blind.

I am not religious, but if I was, trusting G, FB, etc, is like trusting the devil itself. Making a deal with him and selling their fortune to him.

Binance has holdings in all sorts of cryptocurrencies that it has no involvement in the creation or minting of.

As a cryptocurrency exchange, Binance must hold Tether to operate.

As the most popular cryptocurrency exchange on the planet, they're likely to be on the larger end of Tether (and various other cryptocurrencies) holdings.

I'm not defending Binance here, I think there's fair potential that they're doing shady stuff, but they're not responsible, in any way, for the minting of billions of dollars of Tether, or involved in any of the dodgy accounting around Tether's backing.

Same goes for Huobi, who are second on that list. They're an exchange. Holding Tether is an essential part of being in that business.

I agree. SvelteKit should not be advertised as the standard way to use svelte imho. Fortunately it’s not necessary to use svelte. I’ve some quite complex apps built using svelte, all without SvelteKit/sapper (I am of the “explicit is better than implicit” school of thought).

Lying? Manipulating? What?

Is it wrong for a politician to mirror the opinions of their voters? That’s literally what a representative democracy is supposed to be.

Is it wrong for a person to express their heart felt opinion to folks who like and trust them? Isn’t that what all human communication is?

Obama did the right thing, in both 2008 and 2012. If he does 2008 differently, he remains a Senator with no national platform. If he does 2012 differently and doesn’t use his national platform to advocate for gay rights, maybe it takes longer for it to reach 80% support in the general population.

If you’d like to actually understand politics, I’d suggest reading The Dictators Handbook or watching this video for the tldr- https://youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs
So, appalling scam aside, everyone knows what a Klein bottle is or what it does? First I've heard of it, and neither Stoll's site or the Amazon listing shed any light on the topic...just in-jokes.
Buyed the real thing from his site (https://www.kleinbottle.com/ as mentioned) 1.5 years ago. Much more to enjoy there anyway.

Thanks Cliff & Greetings from Germany
Funnily this problem seems trivial when you have good test coverage for your code. Especially trivial compared to the insane amount of help you could get in writing boilerplate and simple logic from a magical tool like this, if it delivers on its promises.

Isn't it easier to learn some critical thinking instead of being afraid to be influenced?
TPM does contain a secure key store, not just fixed function encryption and signing operations.
Unless it's fTPM, in which case the storage and device firmware attestation is handled by firmware - but it is still key functionality.

You really don't need anything particularly special to make a cloneable module that supports all TPM 2 functionality, it's just that the available ones are not and any other would not get certified.

The ring -1 functionality is firmware attestation. It must be supported as per spec.

So no, TPM is not just a chip or just a key store. It is much more than that hence the blobs that handle it had security bugs.

The reason other broadband providers have balked is because of the large investment needed to offer a competitive broadband service. Your town is instead funding that investment with state and federal grants, which are pretty much the definition of a government handout.

However, there is an unspoken assumption here that broadband belongs to the private sector. That’s an assumption worth thinking carefully about.

Many of the types of arguments against muni broadband have also been raised against other government infrastructure programs like public roads, bus routes, subways, etc. Many of those programs compete directly with private companies and displaced private investment.

Yet we know now that government-funded or subsidized infrastructure, done right, becomes a common platform that the rest of the economy can grow on.

It seems increasingly likely that broadband falls into this category. We just had a national year-long demonstration of the critical importance of connectivity to our economy.

Guess I'd better say a few things.

First, I deeply appreciate that so many on Hacker News have come out for this. Enough to awaken me from a sound sleep on a Tuesday evening!

I don't really care that much about selling Klein bottles over Amazon - it's mainly to reach parents over the holidays. But I do wish that Amazon would do something about this kind of thing.

Finally, I"m very low on stocks of glass Klein bottles. It's weird for me to ask my friends not to buy the things I've worked so hard to make, but I guess I'd better. I hope to have more manifolds in mid to late summer.

Warm wishes all around,

-Cliff (way late on a cloudy Tuesday evening in Oakland)

Ah, maybe I misunderstood, I thought you were mainly concerned with knowing if it's right for you, but it seems you are mainly concerned that pg is wrong and shouldn't be telling people it's bad. Well, he does say

> Maybe that's the right answer for some people. I have no idea. But it doesn't seem the optimal solution to me.

I wouldn't have thought anyone could have a problem with his saying that.

Since you ask on this page for critical viewpoints: It does seem you want him to be more "politically correct" here—saying what he thinks true isn't good enough, as it doesn't sufficiently strongly support the message you want him to give out.

It probably not unrelated that one of the qualities I like best about pg's essays (particularly the older ones, and not on the subject of startups—I haven't read those) is his willingness to say what he believes, regardless of how it might seem to people. The courage of his convictions.

And the problem they search for has been solved half a century ago — the modern highrise apartment building.
There are also other factors at play I believe than just resolution. I have 3 XPS 13 laptops - one Full HD matte, one Full HD glossy and one 4K glossy.

Full HD matte seems quite unsharp compared to the Full HD (or 4K) glossy. But with my eyes, I don't really see the difference between Full HD glossy and 4K glossy.

Matte screen by its nature desharpens so it should be expected. But I did not expect the effect to be so noticeable.
Of course now after the fact that mRNA vaccines are hugely outperforming other technologies in COVID, we know that they are our best bet for other infectious diseases as well (including having a much better flu vaccine), but Moderna+BioNTech got a lot of money last year to find it out, and this was not that clear 1 year ago.

What the article doesn't answer to me, is how to cure my 40 year old ex girlfriend with metabolic breast cancer. Sorry, but giving up on people just because it's technically challenging is not an answer to me. If the CAR-T or TIL therapies can cure her, I agree that the mRNA therapy route should be stopped, but right now trying all possible routes is my best bet to not be at her funeral.

None of the solutions for switching between discrete and integrated graphics cards on Linux are particularly great (compared to Windows where it just works automagically).

Certainly but the higher expertise isn't a requirement for most dev jobs I would argue; If you are developing custom algorithm and advanced data structure, you are probably in the fringe of what the dev world do.

Otherwise I am struggling explaining why there is such a great demand for devs that short courses (3-6 months) are successful, the same courses that fail at teaching the fundamental of computing.

Where does copying end though?
If an AI "retypes" it, not only with some variable renaming but some transformations that are not just describable by a few code transformations (neural nets are really not transparent and can do weird stuff), it wouldn't seem like a copy when just comparing parts of it, but it effectively would be one, as it was an automated translation.

Most of such institutes are located on a university campus and have close ties to that university, rotating staff and offering research positions to students as working student as well as for their thesis. It’s also common practice to have a joint program for PhD students.
Having more heterogenous structures of governance and funding within the scientific community of a city/campus instead of a monopoly of a single university is in fact a strength. It would be even better if it were more heterogeneous in Germany, e.g. by having more companies joining right on the campus. BioNTech’s success is a very good example for this.

A protein is often not just amino acids, but also a bunch of so-called post-translational modifications(PTM). These could be carbohydrates that have distinct functional roles, e.g. targeting.

> "YOU CANNOT PUT THE GENIE BACK IN THE BOTTLE"

The dominance of US-based FAANG companies is not a natural state, but the result of a decades-long process of centralization. The only viable contenders are services in isolated markets, like Russia or China, and they are a result of and at the same time subject to a separation rooted in politics. It's not just a matter of getting in your boots and working hard. (Which is the "it's broken" aspect, especially from a capitalist perspective.)
The IdM box in the provided diagram [1] is the same single point of failure "policy engine" and "ID management" architecture that is advocated by the "zero trust" crowd [2]. It's the same type of flawed centralised architecture that allowed the Solarwinds Orion exploit to be used to such great effect [3]. At least the ZTA paper calls out this weakness [4], but unless I missed something the paper severely understates the risk that a central "policy engine" presents, and glosses over all the other components ("threat intelligence feeds", host-based agents, etc) which are centralised in this architecture and present a similar risk.

I made a recent purchase for some networking equipment, but the seller had 1k+ positive ratings in the last year. Honestly, I ran across a lot of the same sellers on eBay as I did Amazon (since eBay now sells a lot of new stuff).
Retail is a low margin business, whereas being a platform for third party sellers is a high margin business. As long as their reputation amongst sufficient number of people is high enough to keep them paying for Amazon prime, then that is the most amount of effort they should put into retail.
Apple TV+ is claimed to have a policy to never do two things: hardcore nudity, and China.

Report[0] by CBS gives hope that the industry is waking up. HBO announced a series about COVID in which they claim to not go soft on anyone, including the Chinese government.

However, even presuming there is a channel that would be willing to air or stream the show, a series about HK freedom fight would be very hard to shoot in a realistic fashion. If it is to be released while the fight is ongoing, exposing actual people or even techniques that CCP doesn’t know about could very tangibly cost lives. Tangentially, such a show would give more ammunition for CCP’s propaganda that it’s the interference of the West that is causing the unrest (as opposed to Hongkongers themselves wanting freedom). The only way to shoot on location while the events are unfolding is if there’s solid trust between the participants and the crew that release will not happen in a way that would put individual fighters or the movement in even more of a jeopardy than there’s already. A mere contract is unlikely to be enough of a guarantee, given who they’re dealing with.

There is a film about HK protests (banned in China, of course), but it mostly concerned itself with what was happening visibly on the streets.
