Drug dealers: blame our customers not us for selling drugs

No one will ever accept this kind of argument from a drug dealer, but yet they happily admit this kind of argument from this and other countless companies that business practices go against the public interest.

Anyone can tell me why?
Bingo! I'm Dominican and completely agree with your points. Just to add one important difference as well is that Spaniards converted their slaves into Christianity or Catholicism religion where the French never bothered with institutionalizing their religion to theirs. One of the many reason why Haitians culture gravitates more towards Afro descendant rituals and traditions.
I grew up in the 8-bit era, so that's mostly what I'm interested in from a retro computing perspective. Pretty much the whole Acorn lineup starting with the BBC and then going to the early ARMs is interesting, plus a bunch of the other early UK-built weird machines like home computers using Forth (I think that was the ORIC).

Early UNIX workstations are also pretty interesting, like the early SUN stuff, SGI, early NeXT if you're more interested in that type of machines.
If you scroll to the bottom, there is a section with key points.
Vscode is a weird example since anyone using vscode should be capable enough to setup a remote server and use vscode remote. The actual app isn’t that power hungry and it offloads everything remotely. If you can run a browser you can run vscode. Having a system basically stream a vscode GUI session is silly.

Also why would anyone run chrome remotely? You already have to have a browser open so…???
I'm still a bit confused, but I think the takeaway is that I was conflating "any ethnic persecution" with "ethnonationalism". It sounds like the latter is much more specific ("we don't want Jews in our country" versus "this country belongs to Germans"?)?
> Not hostile to repair?! You quite literally needed Torx screwdrivers of differing sizes.

The rest of your comment not withstanding, this seems fine to me. You're a lot less likely to strip or damage torx heads, especially when opening it up multiple times, and needing a few head sizes for a few screw sizes is pretty reasonable. They're a pretty standard shape, even if not necessarily in the median person's toolbox.

Contrast that with, e.g., Apple producing the tri-lobe screw -- a worse product not close to standard in any circles.
I'm not really concerned with the onboard 680x0 processing power or lack thereof (as you pointed out, accelerators solve that), so much as I am concerned with MMU and FPU support while keeping the AGA graphics chipset. If you know of a better solution with a less expensive model, say an A1200 (which has AGA), I'm all ears. With that said, I haven't read of the A1200 being Toaster-capable.
Photolithography?
To be clear, electrical rates are much different in different parts of the country. At my house in the suburbs outside St. Louis, MO, the cost is about $9/month. Not nothing, but not too significant compared to the total cost of the service.
I'm thinking of using this for a backup connection if FIOS fails... we'd switch our office over to starlink... currently we switch to comcast and it's basicaly unsable... so wonder if starlink would be good for ssh connections etc...
Another important factor is that highly regulated local monopolies like power companies may have certain restrictions like only being able to charge a certain % over cost. Well, you'd much rather have 5% of a large number than a small number, so you're incentivized to do the more expensive long term thing.
Incredible pro-user move. I tried to get an early start-up I worked for to do this. Over the years they've spent hundreds of man hours developing a custom editing grid, and it's absolutely one of the scariest/most crazy pieces of the system. And it's no where near as powerful/flexible/well-known/robust for users.

But yeah, the comments below about rate limits & bans? I was probably wrong to try to advocate Sheets, however much technical sense it made, however good a working experience would have been.
I don't really think TPM can offer me reasonable security. The result is clear already, some apps refuse to run if you don't have TPM because they need to make sure you cannot freely modify your own devices. We see the same strategy on mobile phones.

So sorry, the "security advantage" isn't worth it as I could achieve the same with other methods. And I need to expect severe disadvantages.

My aunt owned an airport bar in an era and place of high mafia activity. There was a racket at the time to extort vending machine profits with protection schemes. When they came to my aunt to offer their protection, she implied that a rival gang had already extorted her, and that they owned/protected her vending machines. This was apparently enough to get them to leave her and her bar alone.

Why do you read one book at a time?

Have you tried more than that and found it unsatisfactory?

I usually have two books on the go. I leave them in different places. That’s key. I am a different person in each place, and I can keep my associations separate and distinct for each book.

Given enough places, I’m confident I could read more than two books in parallel.

And he also mentions that if this were his only Internet, he would trim the tree branches to get a better view of the sky. That's not what I'd do though; I'd put the satellite dish on a radio mast. Anyone who's ever done any kind of radio work knows that antenna height is everything, and in his specific case it's important for a different reason: avoiding line-of-sight obstructions.

I imagine the more immediate threat is 5G internet. But currently the reception in this neighborhood is terrible for T-Mobile (despite their coverage map insisting otherwise) yet one of my neighbors claims he can get 50 Mb download with an AT&T hotspot. I have approximately zero faith in our current ground-based providers. They are the PG&E of broadband IMO.

Upgrading to my first 5G phone recently made voice service work at my house but did nothing for data.
Honestly, I think providing the disk decryption password during early boot is a lot safer.

If the TPM yields the decryption key, then the disk is mounted without the user being present, so any RUNTIME security hole can be exploited by the attacker (e.g.: USB exploits, etc).

The Mac/Windows model just seems less-safe (though more friendly for shared devices).

I would like a shared system though: where I provide half the key, and the TPM has the other half, so BOTH are necessary to decrypt the disk.

> certain illegal acts (like breaking into certain websites, illegally obtaining documents, etc.) should be legal if done for the purpose of proper journalism

This isn't the case in any country and almost certainly should not be.

In some countries, a journalist is generally free to publish anonymously sourced information, regardless of its source (which may have been a hack), and report on that information. Journalists are never allowed to hack websites. Hacking websites isn't legal.

Making some level of allowed-hacker as long as they're labeled a journalist would be crazy, as it would (1) result in the aforementioned semantic debate over who is a journalist, (2) would be the antithesis of privacy to have hackers that are allowed to hack you legally.
You could make the same argument about any other aspect of their resume. The reality is that candidates are never exactly the same "except for this one thing." What if one candidate gets to do side projects as part of their job? Should you ignore that?
The point of voting is for a group to make collective decisions about something. But the 'group of twitter users' isn't a community. I don't want this fake community to 'democratically' determine what I see. I'm on Twitter to see stuff from the accounts I follow. There is no need for community consensus to determine what's shown.
The ads on YouTube pay for YouTube. If I’m paying for YouTube and not seeing ads, I’m paying for YouTube. Playing semantic word games saying ‘you’re paying to not see ads, the ads that pay for the service’ is just word games.

If they have to be legislated into not spying on the users then it just proves the article’s point.
I think it's normal to be confused, because the terms and history all have different interpretations and meanings.

What is German? What is Jew? What is "country"? And what is nation?

The answer to all those questions changes. Which is one of the reasons why I think it's important to be incredibly suspicious of any person who claims to have the answer, and to be able to state with certainty that this country belongs to Germany or this is the homeland of the Jews.

What are they really trying to accomplish?

Also, I'm super suspicious of anybody who says about any topic "it's always been this way" or "it's just common sense"... because a) they're usually wrong b) that's usually just obscuring a proposition or action they don't want to justify or defend using arguments so they appeal to nature/God/common-sense/natural-rightness instead.

I don't think "the modern world" can be faulted. The French explicitly had a top-down campaign to forge a French national identity/ethnicity. But I take the broader point, I thought "ethnonationalism" was any kind of persecution of ethnic minorities.
Downvoting is predicated on the existence of a community that ostensibly shares some common interest or set of values. Twitter is more of a melting pot. A naive downvoting system can't work on twitter because tweets are designed to "leak" out into other communities.

In fact, people often get the most engagement from their critics. You can't have a community about, say, fast cars that leaks into an anti-car community that's allowed to downvote all pro-car sentiments.
The downvote in a lot of ways become a sort of crowdsourced censorship. It could work well to clean toxic stuff but it could also silence diverse conversations. They need to be smart about how they place incentives with the downvotes, how the downvoted are disincentivized to get down votes, how the downvoters won’t abuse the button.
> If someone views a modern electrical utility in a Western country as unreliable then they either have no idea what they are talking about or have unreasonable expectations.

This is making the error of substituting average performance for the actual performance of a particular grid. The PG&E grid shuts down large amounts of transmission during high wind events:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_California_power_shutof...

> Solar and batteries aren't a substitute for grid transmission infrastructure

This is proving to be very wrong. Transmission is extremely expensive, it can be one of the most expensive parts of the grid, and, both batteries and distributed solar are being used as a substitute for transmission.

The term in the industry is "non-wires alternatives," and it was a way for early lithium ion batteries to be used profitably on the grid, even before their recent price drops. (That and frequency regulation in the PJM market).
Last year, I interviewed for a senior role where the interviewer actively made fun of my side project. They suggested without directly stating it that they thought it was a dumb side project toy app, despite it being quite complex and not trivial.

Doesn't dissuade me. That interviewer was the stupid one, not me. My best lesson learned is to make sure that your side projects that are involved, look involved. If it is a big side project but you are humble about it, it's possible it will work counter to you in the interview. Senior roles need senior side projects and if you make toys it can definitely (stupidly) count against you.

The upfront cost is why we don't generally do this in the US. If we looked at it from a 50 year perspective we'd (probably) do it in a heartbeat but we aren't very good at that sort of planning ahead.
A related problem is that many people prefer not to be tracked but only if it doesn’t mean giving up something in exchange. As a result, differentiating your product by not tracking people isn’t enough of a selling point to make it valuable for many businesses. I wish we had more ad-free alternatives but often companies aren’t incentivized to offer them.
Damn, of course...
I meant overshadow in the sense of how they’re remembered/casually described by people.

“Pretend I’ve never heard about Person X; tell me what you know about them.” For me, Buddy Holly’s death gets mentioned in the first or second sentence. None of the others do, including Sylvia Plath. (Kurt Cobain might, depending on how long I go in my description.)
I mostly read fiction and I try my best to read everyday. My problem seems to be that I sometimes try to rush through the details to the main story line to figure out the plot. Because I get limited time to read, I try to read very fast and cover a lot of ground so I can know more of the story. From reading this article, it sounds like I should slow down and re-read but I am not sure if some books are worth it.
I'm typing this message from Starlink. For me it's absolutely transformative; 10x the bandwidth I can get from any other source and very reliable.

Except for outages related to obstructions. That's a real problem and the author's situation is not good. There's ways to work around it on your property; a taller mount, a tree install, cutting some trees. But ultimately Dishy needs a clear view to the north and there's no getting around it.

I have some smaller obstructions for my install and it was a little annoying but fine. But in the past week or two it's gotten way better: my packet loss went from 2% to 0.6%. Details here: https://nelsonslog.wordpress.com/2021/07/20/starlink-improve...
I'm one of the few client here in France for a few days. I moved from Paris to a quite isolated area (Vercors mountains) with only ADSL (no mobile coverage), and it's night and day, I now get between 100 Mbps and 200 mbps with 30/40 ms latency...
I don't have a lot of time with the service to give an exhaustive feedback, but for the moment I'm able to do video conferencing and call perfectly. And the setup experience is great!
The outages have been getting better recently. They are supposed to go away entirely once the first constellation is fully complete. If you don't have obstructions, that is.

I think you mean init, not initrd. An initrd is a RAM disk image loaded by Linux containing kernel file system and network drivers and is typically used to help minimize the size of the main kernel image.
It comes down to:

What's the cost of testing/specifying/formal methods/etc to a level that catches a bug before production vs what's the cost to fix a bug and its downstream effects.

If I work in an unregulated environment with on-demand deployment, the cost to fix a bug isn't that big, except for bugs that persist bad state/data and especially things involved with schema changes; those changes that are costly to fix necessitate costly testing. If I produce a game rom for unconnected systemsin million+ unit batches which sit on shelves for unknown time for people to use, it would be very costly to fix bugs and a costly test procedure for the whole thing makes sense.

If it's life safety, then yeah, lots of testing (and don't hire me)
Things like this move more and more of our data and usage of computers into centralized hands. I'd suspect your typical HN user prefers to maintain control over that.

I'm not proposing anything in particular. I'm saying that treating things like a unverified phone call as requiring a rushed militarized response tends to lead to military outcomes, and this problem is exacerbated when you create militarized units in jurisdictions that don't have enough serious incidents that they can get good at it.

We can look in contrast at the British approach to policing where most cops are unarmed. What armed response units they have are highly trained and very closely supervised. The outcome? American cops kill people at 60x the rate English cops do. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2020/06/05/policekillings/

The US has a big problem with "We must do something! And rushing in with heavy force is something!" thinking. It's the same with car chases.

> I don't see any widespread nazi ideology

Perhaps they have played too much Wolfenstein VR to come to that conclusion of seeing Nazis everywhere or some sort of hidden agenda of a secret Nazi invasion from space.

SlateStarCodex (A HN favourite) put it more accurately about the media (and social media) during the recent events in 2017 and still to this day:

"I also think events proved me right in saying that the media was going crazy in a particular way where they would read racism into anything..."

"...At some point you just have to admit everyone went crazy for a few years and seeing started seeing Nazis in trees and rocks and grilled cheese sandwiches and Trump was an especially tempting target."

Interesting to see how competent and effective disconnect was, in the past, they failed miserably to block twitter.
There's a saying about entering an argument that one can never win but relating it here would be considered flaming.

Thus, I'll graciously accept the fact that I'm a damn idiot for doing so.
When I interview candidates, I ALWAYS take these things into consideration. My best hire was a guy who took some time off after his last job, and the highlight of his previous year was learning a book of Bach piano pieces. It IS, however, hard to not pry too much into personal/family stuff, for HR reasons, e.g. talking with "women who are pregnant or may become pregnant" without giving the impression that pregnancy or child care might be a detriment to hiring. Obviously there are numerous other cases like this as well, unrelated to gender, pregnancy is just the first example that came to mind.

I love hearing about non-professional things. Coding outside of work is actually a negative for me, because I assume you are going to get burnt out. I WANT you to have a life outside of work, because A) you are human and deserve that, and B) you are more productive during work. I'm fine if you take a few days off to run an ultra-marathon, or take off a few hours early to catch your kid's baseball game, or care for a family member, whatever. Well-rounded people are better at writing software, in my experience, and better to work with.
I think this is similar with how the favicon displays the notification in a brower tab.
> Tracking is becoming less effective, and the only recourse they have is stuffing even more ads everywhere to make up for the lost revenue from targeting. This is great, because you're not affected if you have uBlock Origin. If you don't, install it right now.

That's part of the context, and pretty much goes in the direction of "I just don't want any advertising at all". I can sympathise, but we need to find a way to pay for services.
I'd agree with "armed" but not "insurrection", myself. I recall pictures of dudes toting rifles.

iirc it was 1997 that I sat out on the Mall in DC for a day or two pushing pamphlets; I wore a sword at the time and no one had an issue with it.
I don't think it is especially if you are living in one of metro regions/tech hubs i.e. SF Bay area, Seattle, NYC etc.
I believe the constellation is about 90-95% complete now. The first shell at least. There's plans for more shells but that's for redundancy, not coverage.
Here is what I do when I am most productive:

Block time on the calendar to work on the various things I want to do. The time is now blocked for a specific project, phone call, or for cleaning the bathroom. I attempt to do nothing else in that time.

Then my todo list becomes a list of things that I can do for the various projects. I will not complete my todo list, but I will work on what I can do now, that has the highest priority.
