I mean, you're being a little silly by comparing a short-term market gyration to "annualized inflation". The Yen is down 38 basis points against the dollar today. Nobody would describe that as "exhibiting 135% annualized inflation".
It could be a great docking setup for a lightweight laptop. On the go you have the power efficient chip with an 8 core GPU, then you plug into the screen and you have a much more powerful one.
My take on this is that the BO/VG vehicles are simply dwarfed by SpaceX/F9 in terms of both physical size [1] (source [2]) and launch profile [3] (source [4]).

It's partially that it's more routine now, but it's more that the F9 is so much larger, has a far more complicated launch trajectory, and in my opinion that they are landing on barges in the middle of the ocean.

Ask HN: Could the telemetry collected by VSCode be used maliciously?
As a user of VSCode, I've more than once come across complains by people that it has unnecessary telemetry.

I was wondering what the worst use one could hypothetically put the data to.

On a separate note, VSCodium is a fork of VSCode that strips the telemetry. [1]

It's a very small cohort of people that want to do "whatever they want".

Cities should just add a deforestation/nature tax to new lots. The market will only have lots that already has a property on it.

It is important for older cities to rejuvenate and when cheaper alternatives don't exist, they will be forced to redevelop. See how large cities redevelop in constrained areas.
I submit that there are vanishingly small number of individuals who would spend more on bulbs than what those bulbs would save in electric costs over their lifetime.
True, but there's a big difference between dropping 38 basis points and losing 57% of its purchasing power.

[edit] more importantly, the yen may have dropped 38 basis points against the dollar, however that doesn't necessarily represent a drop in domestic purchasing power at all. Just foreign purchasing power. This change makes imports into Japan more expensive and exports of Japanese products denominated in dollars more affordable to foreign buyers. You're measuring apples vs oranges in that comparison.

"The United States invaded Iraq and killed 500,000 innocent people because of the fragile ego of the Bush-Cheney cabal' is an example of:

1. An utterly reprehensible crime against humanity.

2. An accurate fact that's oft-repeated on HN

3. A highly political fact.

4. Utterly pointless to introduce in any conversation that is not closely related to wars.

5. A necessary reminder that our shit stinks.

Despite all that, it's 'too political' to bring it up in a thread like this - because it has nothing to do with the subject, other than to give people a reason to engage in a nationalistic pissing contest.

That's true, total transaction revenue will need to go up. That doesn't mean per-transaction revenue needs to go up though.

Put another way, transaction volume needs to scale before inflation gets too low.
You could pre-pay for X years, where X is long enough to ensure you'll be dead when it expires.

Edit: Seems like there's a 10 year limit in many places? I wonder if that's broad convention or an actual rule.

Okay, apparently an ICANN limit for .com domains:

"The expiration date of the domain registration is extended by the number of years, up to a maximum of ten years, as specified by the Registrar's requested Extend operation."

Though, I can see that navy.us has an expiry in 2053, so it's likely per registry.

Congratulations, you now understand the merits of critical race theory.

The main thesis of CRT is that a major portion of US laws and institutions were created in the context of slave ownership and outright racism. That makes a lot of people uncomfortable, so they prefer to whitewash the history instead of addressing it and thinking of the ramifications.

A great example of this is HOAs. The original intent of HOAs was to keep PoC out of the neighborhoods.

This is a little bit of a tangent but I think it runs into the same root cause of Jan 6 and the current perceptions of it. If you are on the left you see it as an insurrection of try and stop or interrupt the democratic process. If you are on the right you see it as patriots trying to stop an unfair election and preserve the american way of life.

However, deep down, it really comes down to a more base and fundamental aspect of humans. We like to be part of our groups and organizations. That makes us blind or dismissive to faults of our group. Cognitive dissonance is one hell of a drug.

CRT battles the same problem. We don't like seeing historical "good guys" as having flaws.
A long time ago, I used CrashPlan for backups. They had support for Linux, and I had a Linux server at the time that ran ownCloud and some other services that needed backups. I pointed CrashPlan at the appropriate directories and let it roll.

Fast forward several years, I needed to restore something (non-critical) and it was a giant pain in the ass. I was able to get it done, but it wasn't immediately clear that I would be able to. Something about CrashPlan not retaining deleted files and some of my paths changing or something.

Anyway, I was so frustrated by the whole experience that I dumped CrashPlan.

I run Syncthing to provide file sync services. A Raspberry Pi acts as the "central server" on my home network. Once a night, an EC2 instance launches, syncs the data up, and then performs an offline backup to S3. I get a report e-mailed to me every night so I can keep tabs on stuff.

I did have to spend time building it out, but it costs something like $5 per month and it's been bulletproof.

Lots of love for Syncthing over here. It's been a champ.

This is from the time of incident:

Server: 1.1.1.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: newegg.com

vs

Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:

104.80.92.252 is newegg.com

23.35.185.6 is a server that provides an error message.

So 1.1.1.1 lied. The proper response would be to reply "I don't recognize that domain". Instead it said, "yeah, I know that, its here..."

Newegg was not down, and when I got macos to forget what it had cached from 1.1.1.1 I was able to use newegg.com fine.

That's not been my experience at all. Have had to manually delete pods all the time. Is it possible that this was something fixed in newer versions?

Example case: DevOps pushed out a new version of Istio (without talking with anyone) and even though the container configs are referencing the new version of Istio, only half of the pods in the namespace got restarted, so we get paged because a number of services can't make any network connections with the other services. Had to manually delete all the pods, and then the new pods all came up with the right version of Istio and are able to communicate again.

On a side note: how is it at all acceptable to have a networking "mesh" that isn't backwards compatible? I can count on no hands the number of times that my fargate/lambda services couldn't communicate because half of my fleet is running a different version of VPC. Thus far my experience with Istio is that it has never added any business value (for projects I've been involved in), and only adds complexity, headaches, and downtime.

Back to the declarative thing: I'm fairly confident I've edited service configs, added service configs, edited the container image, and container environment variables, and never saw kubernetes restart anything automatically; had to manually delete.

Doggerland, like other lands cited, progressively disappeared beneath the waves over centuries and millennia. When each bit was lost depends on its altitude, so the curve of sea depth in the graph over 24ky does not match the rate that any particular area disappeared.

The Younger Dryas was a period in the middle of the process. The timeline of the Impact Hypothesis places the strike at its beginning, resulting in a huge meltwater pulse that disrupted the Atlantic Ocean current system. The first Gobekli Tepe was built precisely at its end, but no coinciding geophysical event has been identified.

Current work suggests the impact causing the Carolina and Nebraska bays occurred much less recently, maybe 600kya.
"Death to America" is a traditional greeting in Iran. But a couple weeks a year, Iranians enjoy wishing death to other people, such as Israel, or their own dictatorship. I think it's great that Facebook is culturally sensitive enough to accommodate the diversity of Iranian murder demands.
Yes. People should have control of and be responsible for their hardware and software. If people want to cede the responsibility and control, there's no problem with having that option, but it's a bad default.
They unlock capital for homeowners by giving them something to borrow against.

In my 1980 built neighborhood there are three kinds of homeowners.

1) Low income longtime owners who can't renovate and are being replaced
2) Long time middle income residents who can't cash flow remodel but who can afford to borrow thanks to high appreciation.
3) New, affluent owners who buy houses that have been renovated or buy a house and cash flow renovation or take a massive mortgage (again largely backed by the high land value) and renovate.

If your community's land prices haven't appreciated significantly then a lot of the capital you would access for refurbishment isn't available. That removes in place renovators and your community faces two fates. Slow blight as original owners exceed their most productive years or replacement as affluent buyers move in.
I actually really enjoyed Aurora and have been through it three times. It is a bit of a downer, sure. It felt quite fresh to me though, as I took it as a 'coming of age' story, but for the ship's AI.
I think what it comes down to is I have a fairly lenient view of people trying to intimidate others into doing what they think is the right thing when they've caused harm. To a point.

If I see someone take something of mine, and they refuse to give it back, I might feel okay in saying "if you don't return that, I'm going to have to call the police. Getting the police involved in this is definitely not going to go well for you. Is this thing you'e taken really worth that? Please just give it back and let's go our separate ways."

Am I using intimidation to sway that person in this theoretical situation? Yes. Do I feel justified in using that intimidation? Yes.

Really, what I think this comes down to is whether Audacity thinks they have been harmed and are in the right legally and/or morally in trying to get the other party to stop that harm. In that circumstance, I think telling someone what their actions might result in if you follow through with what you considered a perfectly acceptable and legal action (defending yourself) is not nearly the same as threatening some action that is purely for your personal gain even if the other party has done nothing wrong.

Importantly, I also think that statement should be made based on what Audacity believes, not necessarily the specific law or outcome of a legal case were it to be brought.

I think the above explains how the following situations are viewed differently by people, even if the statements are essentially the same (threatening some bad outcome for the other if you take some action so they capitulate in some way):

"It's in your best interest to make sure that emergency exit is working for all our safety. If I have to report you, I doubt the fines and problems are worth not fixing it now. The only reason I haven't reported you is so you can handle it yourself and avoid that." Acceptable. The target is not following the rules and everyone else is taking some small harm (risk) from it.

"You should really buy this 'insurance' I'm offering you. It would be a shame if you hadn't and someone does something bad to your business. I bet that might even happen within a week." Unacceptable. The target caused no harm, and needs to take some action to prevent harm having done nothing to cause the situation.

> So I suppose none of us should worry about his feelings." afterwards, makes intimidation seem like the most likely hypothesis, IMO.

I agree it's intimidation. The question is whether it's justified. It's hard to justify exposing someone to that amount of risk. It may be justifiable to threaten someone with that level of risk to try to get them to stop some harm them are doing to you, but it does seem a bit over the top to the point that it's very distasteful. There is the concept of a proportionate response, and I think this is probably disproportionate, which is what people are really upset about, and incorrectly attributing it to the intimidation in general. We wouldn't be talking about this is they simply said "stop or we'll bring legal action, with all the negatives that entails" but that's also intimidation, just proportionate and seen as normal and/or justified to most.
That technique doesn't work (as well) when you want a single "else" block that is used when either of the conditions is false, which I think is pretty common for this sort of conditional

> We may actually need to change our terminology because many new digital games are different from how we might traditionally define and imagine video games — those cinematic worlds of PlayStation or Xbox.

The "we" here seems to only apply to the author, and people to whom "my own avid video game playing ended in the era of BrickBreaker for the Blackberry". This is not to judge/gatekeep the author, but they're talking about something they don't know.

> Pokémon Go, Fortnite and Among Us are video games, but they are also hangouts for friends, pop culture moments, opportunities for political organizing and more.

So was Call of Duty 10 years ago, MMOs 20 years ago, etc. There's nothing new here, apart from games getting more popular (and thus being considered "pop" culture).

> I know that games aren’t all stimulating paragons of human social connection, but it feels as if something exciting is happening.

I wouldn't agree here. I have fond memories of moments shared with friends on games, it feels a bit like we lived our own adventure, not unlike a trip really. For example, let's take Minecraft. Sure, our minecraft server doesn't "exists" in physical space the way a city exists. But we lived here. Real people spent real time and had real interactions, that left "physical" traces.

The article should be something like "I discovered that my views of video games was really limited and incomplete compared to what's really happening", or something like that. There's no shame in not knowing everything, and sometimes a new way of looking at things from the outside can be precious. But for that, you have to recognize your own limits, instead of pretending to be seeing a new social phenomenon.

I care somewhat about telemetry, but the path to avoiding it must be simple. In VSCodium's case, it's not quite there.

If Facebook is to build this sort thing, sure why not, we can choose not to use it.

Where Zuckerberg goes of the rails for me is: " I think it’s about being engaged more naturally."

If he truly believe that, he should start by fixing Facebooks algorithms. There is nothing natural about the way people interact with Facebook anymore. Initially it was keeping up with friends, family old work buddies and so on. As Facebook tweaked the snot out out of their algorithms to keep people "engaged", everything natural went right out the window.

Facebook should built whatever they believe will keep them relevant, just to lie about the motives or use deceptive language to make it sound like something it's ostensibly not.
