A lot of todays IT is kind of core infrastructure and it hurt very much if you break things constant.

Just came to my mind now. Todays software is fat and slow like more and more people today vs. command liners are still the slim, sporty ones.
Unheard past warnings do not change the situation we live in. Agree we need this to hit someone on the upper floor.

>The figth will only start after enough innocent surveillance victims are harmed in the real world (i.e. their data is leaked or worse)

Sadly I doubt even this will happen. I lived in China and watched the CCP built their digital surveillance state. Like others say most people don't care because they have comfortable lives and/or are concerned with other issues they find more pressing. And so what if the government looks at my holiday pictures, they think. What they don't realize is that it may not make a noticeable difference to them personally at first. But slowly the effects ripple through society. Independent journalism becomes risky, political activism gets pushed into the underground. It affects the people keeping our societies sound and healthy first. Once they're gone, it only gets worse and worse, because there's no one to keep the government in check anymore. By the time the ordinary citizen wakes up and realizes they're living in a dystopian nightmare it's way too late. In China there is 0 resistance anymore. Among the last ones were the Uyghur seperatists and you may know how that ended.

Now is the time to fight back! Do not wait until the damage is irreparable. And in an ever more globalized world, we the people also need to unite globally and support each other.

If Germany had not invaded the USSR then they would both have had the upper hand at an invasion of the British Isles and an allied invasion of Europe would have been close to impossible. At which point whether Germany could successfully invade the US becomes irrelevant because neither side can destroy the other, which usually leads to peace talks and a peace agreement that acknowledges the status quo, which was German control of Europe.

Again, that's not very different from the situation in 1812. In fact Germany had a much stronger position.

Japan also went way over their heads but they actually did that early when they invaded China. The attack on Pearl Harbour was the nail in the coffin because that led to full support from the US to China along with destruction of Japanese industrial capacity.

Don't try to invade Russia, and don't try to invade China. This may sound obvious but history shows that lessons need to be learned and re-learned the hard way.

For almost all induction cooktops, cookware must be made of a magnetic ferrous material in order to be compatible. This is why induction-compatible aluminum pans have a disc of magnetic steel impact-bonded to the base.

If they mined bitcoin and not for example dogecoin, then yes those were ASICs.
It is wonderful that they did not. That would have caused even more environmental destruction than those machines already did.
I can have a guy at my house same-day to fix a gas oven, or maybe just grease the valve myself. A computer-controlled induction coil will never be so simple to fix, in some cases it's probably cheaper to junk the broken one and replace the whole thing.

And I was obviously being a little facetious, but copper is becoming more expensive and mines are having to expand to meet demand.

I want privacy. I also sort-of buy the "nothing to hide" argument - as another comment below says, for most people risk-adjusted cost of privacy loss is greater than the cost of maintaining it.

But this article writes about the very people who have plenty to hide (for good reason!). I think it's a bit misleading to say investigative journalists have "nothing to hide" - confidential sources, on-going stories, contacts, whereabouts etc. Mixing this up, in my eyes, is not helping the "privacy for the masses" adoption.

I'm using XML for SOAP Web services. They are much easier to use than REST, thanks to code generation. I did not try GRPC though.

XML is awesome for configurations: with proper XML Schema and proper editor (I use Jetbrains Idea, but there are other options) you'll get almost full validation, auto-complete for free.

I would prefer XML for any markup.

JSON have one important advantage over XML without DTD/Schema: it's impossible to express array in XML. Another less important advantage is that there's only one way to stringify graph of arrays/maps into JSON. With XML there's no "official" standard, there are plenty of different ways to write maps, for example. But DTD/Schema solves those shortcomings.
You clearly don’t understand the transparency and power of open source code. Fair.
That means if we can find an active device being exploited, we can cause them to send the attack to any device of our choosing and so find the zero-day. And the command center.
That is really weird afaik, but I saw stores which used CWA despite that : )
That’s a bit of a weird framing. Project Zero point out mistakes in Google’s products too. It’s just that they’re visible.

The assumption has to be that Apple quietly fixes minimum a hundred times more security bugs in their products, than the ones the occasional Project Zero blog post highlights.
> We're going to need to draw the lines somewhere. Blaming gas stoves for climate change seems like a bit of an over reach.

I don't think ecology is the main drive here. It's more of a safety/convenience thing. No need to care about gas lines, a lot of new houses are fully electric (heating, stove). Also, no more grandma forgetting to shut down the gas and exploding half the building.

Also, afaik, gas stove are pretty bad for indoor air quality

This seems like such a weird business practice of US carriers.

Every single network I've ever used worked as plug-and-play with both Android and iPhones (except for frequency band and technology support, of course; a GSM 900/1800 phone won't work on UMTS 2100).

I understand the carriers' desire to provide a consistent user experience, but the practice of allowlisting devices based on IMEI prefix or even exact IMEI seems like a real pain, especially when in 99% of all scenarios, it would just work anyway.

Is this due to VoLTE/911 calling requirements, or is it really just a leftover from the time when US phones didn't really have SIM cards and the phone was (almost) inextricably linked to a given plan and vice versa?
This is an unfortunate side-effect of Proof of work mining. You get advantage if you can obtain large amount of cheap electricity - and steal it before you get caught can be extremely cheap.
Very impressive, comprehensive work. Seemingly accurate results for belladonna and xenon :)
Definitely not all induction stoves are like that - in my previous appartament I had an induction stove from Bosch, and the frequency of alternating "on/off" was high enough that it was not noticeable at all. It also had 20 power levels and a frying temperature sensor - worked really well. But now I moved to an older house, which one of the cheaper induction stove from Samsung, and that one is terrible - it has exactly the property you describe.
In a new build, if the house isn't going to get a gas heater (to make that 97% reduction in home gas usage) then the builder isn't going to want to bother laying a gas pipe just for the cooker. That 3% reduction comes as a saving on inconvenience, not really as a saving on carbon emissions.
Plato Technologies and Butterfly Protocol Partnership
I shared an office space with a company that provided video analysis and recognition as a commercial expert witness service. (This was in The UK).

They had a system of levels of confidence they would use in their reports when identifying someone.

The highest level of confidence was achieved when a close friend or family member identified the person in the picture of video.

There were progressively lesser levels of confidence for people less close to the purported subject of the image.

They also had a system of points of similarity/difference. but they normally only used that to establish that the same subject had been observed by multiple cameras, rather than to establish the identity of the subject.

Features of Qualia Mind That Make Everyone Love It
The mind is an amazingly perplexing organ with numerous one of a kind organizations and associations. Insight doesn't emerge from only one piece of the cerebrum or biochemical response. It takes perusing and examining numerous logical examinations (on people at whatever point accessible, different occasions in creatures), seeing how the mind works, and tending to the systems.

Look at that from the perspective of a startup founder. You've made a thing. Spent decades working on it. It became popular because many people found it useful. So useful in fact, that they've decided that it would be nice if you didn't own it anymore, and they owned it instead.

Laws should be the same for everyone. If you're not okay with other people deciding that they own your stuff, don't tell others what to do with the things they've created.

Open Activity Monitor and keep an eye on the memory pressure graph, as well as checking for individual apps that are running away with huge amounts of memory. Also, make sure your SSD isn't too full, as pressure on the NVM will reduce swap performance!

M1 Macs certainly seem to "do more with less" than Intel Macs, but as another poster said, they're not magic. Paging in and out vast amounts of swap will still eventually cause performance issues.

XHTML focused heavily on making markup semantic and reusable. It was strict so that there would be no mistake in extracting information. It wasn't "harder" than HTML5. Tools could author and validate the documents.

Google, who cares deeply about their search moat, did not want easily parsable documents that revealed the wealth of underlying data to machines. It might have made it too easy to mine documents and present search results that answered common factual queries.

Also, by forging ahead with landing nonstandard feature after feature in Chrome, they were able to bleed away Firefox market share and bend the web to their will.

The only mistake XHTML made was the mime type requirement.

Congratulations on a very nice hobby project, and reaching the front page of Hacker News!

A few questions though:

- is the indentation of section headings, such as "Indication", "Pharmacodynamics", etc, intentional? The yellow highlight seems to take care of the emphasis on its own. It feels, to me, it should either be one or the other.

- when sections (e.g. "Pharmacodynamics") include clear points of emphasis within them (e.g. asterisks for bold), then could those perhaps be rendered as sub-headings for increased readability? An example can be seen when searching for "codeine": https://muler.pythonanywhere.com/codeine

Not just that – it complicates cell planning a lot.

As far as I know, UMTS and LTE behave very differently under load, and at least in the early versions of UMTS there was the phenomenon of "cell breathing", where the serviceable cell radius varies with network load (due to the CDMA modulation/multiple access scheme used).

Having to provide denser cells in sparsely populated areas just to avoid dropped calls during the odd traffic spike sounds like a real pain.
My 2 cents as of '21 - I think these facial recognition systems will be necessary due to the huge increase in organized theft groups around.. (at least in my neck of the woods) - I am tired of seeing stores I use to visit no longer be 24 hours, some closing completely, and some reducing inventory / locking up stuff - it wastes time and it limits my options.

But I want posted, or otherwise accessible, data retention policies. I don't think any store needs to keep pictures / videos of 99% of people beyond 15 days.

I understand actual investigating some folks may require longer retention - but there needs to be consequences for misuse, including sexualized gawking, make fun of people, kind of stuff.

Maybe some type of auto-blur for employees that would re-watch a vid clip - but the system can keep the math for recognition if someone is being investigated for a string of thefts for example.

What are the ramifications of these things when they are wrong? This needs to be figured out as well.

People should know about retention policies, and should know if data is shared - and I believe there is a different level of 'expectation of privacy' in vehicles in the parking lots too - this should be a thing.. sure it could be 'harmless fun' to rewind and share clips of people picking their nose in their car - but it's not right.

People do other things in their cars and they should not have to worry that telephoto lenses are peering inside so some hidden group of people can hey their jollies sharing all sorts of who knows what.

It's also one thing to have a computer look through imagery and tie together data points, it's different when a human is rewinding and watching - so policy needs to consider that as well imho, at this time.

About you being the bottleneck, the only problem I see is editing being so much work for you.

IMO it should be the startup job to write a Launch HN that fits the guidelines, and your job should be only to properly document / maintain the guidelines, and decide whether a post is “ready” or not, giving minimal feedback.

There are hundreds of Launch HN that startups can already read to learn how to do it the right way.

If they don’t and their post is not ready, just say “no”.

That’s something that you might be able to scale much better than having to edit all posts yourself.

If a startup marketing / PR team doesn’t have the skills or time to create a proper Launch HN, then that’s a problem that the startup should fix and it’s IMOa skill worth learning for them.

Let them learn this.
You know they didn't. This is just stupid government officials doing what they do best. Bet they patted themselves on the back afterwards for protecting their community. While in reality by restricting the supply they only increased the incentive for new miners to be built. So all this waste is for nothing and anyway it doesn't solve the problem that theft can be lucrative.
I do not have the answer to your question, but Ubuntu 21.04 mostly works on the non-developer edition of the 9310 (the WiFi card was not supported when it was released, but it's been fixed in kernel 5.11).

Suspend is still not properly supported (no deep sleep) but that might be the case with the developer edition as well from what I have read, and Dell does not seem to care. That is the main downside for me.

Overall, I can't say that I've been very happy with its performances so far, and the lack of USB-A compared to your version is a real pain. I guess this would be the same have I had been able to purchase a developer edition.
That is the problem. Even if I am willing to pay $1K, which is a lot from a consumer perspective, it is tiny in the business world and the cost to commercialisation.

> You see, there is no end to it

It's a compromise, but those compromises should be more toward environment, less toward personal comfort (like hearing they use gas stoves because it makes something taste a little better, is a bit ridiculous). My footprint is very small, not 0% (electric cars showing "100% electric, 0% pollution" is not honest, I see the good intent behind, but let's not lie), I've one bike collected from garbage, the other is second-hand, even replaced tyres from thrown-out wheels. This compromise is good because it's also give me a good health, immune system, things like covid is not really a concern for me, at least far behind road accidents

There's already a significant difference between this kind of basic bike and a full blown competition bike with all sorts of electronics devices. And the difference with a car is another level, just considering the weight of it (all kind of road kills it does, road damage, ..) and all services needed to maintain to fuel those cars, all the hidden indirect pollution, that's what people don't consider.

If people reduced all their footprint by a half, we would in short/mid term pollute twice less globally, so it's defnitely worth trading some lifestyle habbits for environment friendly ones
