The Zodiac Killer and D. B. Cooper are notable exceptions. And there are probably a bunch more.

It seems statistically unavoidable that there are always going to be some big cases that go unsolved. It'll probably become less and less common - especially since it seems inevitable that nearly all DNA will eventually be traceable via genetic genealogy databases - but some crimes just won't result in any DNA or other significant evidence being left.
Reading this in Germany, I'd happily overpay for a 1Gbit connection even though I couldn't use it. Unfortunately, the fastest available connection here is a 50mbps, and thats a significant improvement. Three years ago, we were limited to a 16mbps connection for a household of four.

But I wouldn't be surprised if my 50mbps connection is as expensive as your connection, presumably while offering worse service.
Generally speaking, yes, a larger battery with the same technology is more cells, not larger cells. But the larger battery will use less of each cell's capacity for a given distance driven. So it will cycle each battery less, comparatively.
Keeping SW modular and loosely coupled is the #1 problem, in my experience. Whether you use OO, FP or old fashioned structured programming the problem of managing dependency will eventually outweigh all other considerations.

Sounds like DDD is just another set of buzzwords to learn but I like the warning that you should use common language when communicating across the developer-user membrane.
> Coal burning infrastructure is still inextricably involved in generating the power to charge these vehicles

only in countries which haven't yet decarbonised (decarboned?) their energy infrastructure. In france for example, 90% of electricity is non carbon, and that rises to 100% for several smaller countries
Well.... now that you ask. I've enjoyed using [Rust Tide](https://docs.rs/tide/0.16.0/tide/), because it supports async with response objects so you can build the response across async boundardies, unlike [actix](https://www.arewewebyet.org/topics/frameworks/#pkg-actix-web). I've found diesel to be the lingua franca of ORMs right now, but a bit rough to use. Anyways https://www.arewewebyet.org/ gives you the full compendium. My experience is that there isn't a soup-to-nuts framework in rust like django, but you can get there.
215 euros a month for a /24? That's still pretty cheap
Fascinating. The URL was fully content blocked by default on my iPhone’s adblocker.
That only really happens if the on-site people neglect to provide the remote workers with a summary. Even when everyone still came in to the office, this happened to sick workers, people on different shifts, locations, teams, etc. In other words: it's about emotional intelligence and seeing yourself as part of a team, not working in an office.
Reminder that news.ycombinator.com still doesn't have an IPv6 address.
The P2 theme was pretty good when I worked at WordPress (see older version here https://kodedansk.wordpress.com/). They seem to have added some bells and whistles since then, but it looks like the intention is the same - content first, and make the presentation get out of the way.

Ironically, the entire Techdirt site is blocked for me by one of my content blockers. I don't actually know what Techdirt is or whether it's worth unblocking.
IPv6 is a hard sell for the average customer and because of that to the ISPs that provide service to them.

IPv6 doesn't make anything go faster, or let customers access anything they can't already access and quite likely it will make difficult to diagnose networking problems which break stuff (speaking from personal experience with IPv6 here!).

I don't think ISPs will be motivated to give out IPv6 addresses routinely until there are important areas of the internet which are IPv6 only. Until that point they would just be making more support burden for themselves.

And I can't see important stuff going IPv6 only any time soon since you don't make a new and exciting service which the majority of people can't access.
> I pretty much won't post on HN or Reddit because of them

I agree with everything you wrote except for the part about actually not participating - try as I might (and knowing better), I just can't keep myself away. I've taken long hiatuses, but I'm always inexorably drawn back anyway.
The Mirai is 196 inches long (same as a Model S or BMW 5 series) yet has less than 10 cu ft of trunk space. The volume required to fit all the hydrogen fuel cell components is massive. It's not especially practical as a result. Even if there was a refueling network, it's not like you're going to take it camping or road trip with such a small trunk, and for an around town grocery runner it's on the large side.

It's not like there's a good source of hydrogen that doesn't come from electricity generation anyway. It's "just" a different take on the battery, one that appears to be mostly worse other than charge times.
Cloud desktops are going to be mainstream long before phone desktops will be a thing, at least at the rate Apple is moving.

For some reason I read that as "all I want from that area is radar guided cruise control missiles".

Downvotes are irrelevant, society needs to get off FB (today it marked a post of mine containing only a link to the CDC's website with no further text or emoticons as "misinformation") and possibly off all pure textual discussion media, since they mostly encourage spontaneous, irresponsible reactions instead of discourse. Even Tiktok's video responses are better than FB and Twitter...

Maybe not here, but he said here and Reddit. It's definitely the norm on Reddit.
Last quarter 3% of Tesla's revenue was from carbon credits.
That’s an incredibly misleading quote - do you have anything that can correlate atmospheric lead concentrations at ground level with flight hours or take/offs and landings somewhere?
Car engines can weigh up to 1000 pounds, but the standard weight is much lower. the VW group 1.4 turbo (probably one of the most common engines around) comes in at 230lb
A PCR test that is sensitive is a great tool. Remember the NBA bubble? A less sensitive test would have allowed outbreaks inside the bubble, making some player sick and unable to play, as well as eroding the public's confidence on PCR tests.

Factories and meat packing plants used negative PCR tests to create their own bubbles and keep them running.

There is large positive economic value to a highly sensitive test with a small false negative and a larger false positive. There is much less economic value in a test that allows escapes (rapid tests).
The Ioniq 5 has only just been released, it's a completely different design from the previous model.
If you long-press the icon in Control Center, it brings up a panel that allows you to turn Wifi and Bluetooth entirely.

In general, try long-pressing everything: there's generally shortcuts or "power moves" afterwards.
Ah OK thanks I had no idea. I gladly accept my downvotes!
Another way of saying "post open source" is "not open source", or "proprietary". But, of course, those wouldn't get as much traction as trading on the good name of Open Source.

We already have some copyleft licenses that prevent the kinds of proprietary SaaS usage that have prompted recent complaints. People and projects don't use those licenses; they use permissive licenses, and then get surprised when companies use their software under those permissive licenses. I've even seen people complain that if they use copyleft licenses, large companies won't touch their software. That's entirely the point! If you want companies to pay for an alternative license or an exception, you have to choose an Open Source license that they're not already willing to work with.

Before we even consider giving up on the Schelling point that is Open Source, perhaps we should make better use of the full spectrum of Open Source licenses we already have.
I quit tech about a year ago, sailed up the inside passage to SE Alaska in a little 30' sailboat, and ended up working at a dive bar similar to what this author describes for 8 months over the winter.

I met a ton of incredible people, and had a lot of fun, but also burned out. Never having bartended before, there were some surprises:

- No food in most of the bars in town, other than bags of chips. This made it hard to slow people down.

- No inventory control. Bottles weren't weighed or measured in any way. Any employee could, in theory, steal alcohol with absolutely no way for the bar to know (there were no cameras in the building, either). As a consequence, bartenders would pour quite heavy at times, especially for the regular day-drinking crowd (with tacit approval from the owner).

There is a huge dynamic where the money is so good (my take-home was normally in the range of 40-50/hour during the slow season for my Friday night shift), and most bartenders that I met didn't have any other options to earn that kind of money, so would keep bartending despite the burnout. The golden handcuffs are real.
I've been working on this and have built that database, though we only expose at the IP level: https://bigpicture.io/docs/api/#ip-api.

But that same button used to be a permananent toggle, and now there is no way to restore the (better) old behavior. Another instance of Apple thinking they know better than their users.
Not new physics; new business model and new technology:

"a few cell phone towers can be run for cheaper than FTTH, and 5G is fast enough for some home use cases", at which point your fiber install costs may never make back their money.
It’s one of those features that is more annoying for you or me, but useful for 95% of (less technical) users.

My guess is accidentally disabling those services via control center was a common issue.

I’d rather it be the other way, but that’s probably why it’s not.

It’s partly bc it would be much easier for Japan to become fully independent w/ hydrogen whereas with batteries they would be reliant on other countries to produce them. So the Japanese government prefers hydrogen.
I misread the original subject is on politics vs bureaucracy, in which case I agree.

What ISPs are doing IPv6-only? Can't imagine they'd still have any customers.
Huh? LSA is doing fine. It does considerably better in basically every other jurisdiction where the licencing is typically easier and the payloads higher.

“Comparing charts I see 506 registrations of LSA-type aircraft in 2020 and 358 registrations of GA aircraft in 2020,” Steve notes. “Thus, registrations of LSA-type aircraft account for more than half of the single-engine piston aircraft registered in 2020, 59% from data analyzed for this report.”

In the current situation in the US, which faction holds the power?

I would say neither clearly holds the power. The Senate is split 50-50. The conservatives hold the Supreme Court, and the liberals hold the House and the Presidency. And those have flipped in recent elections. So both sides are fighting as hard as they can, because they are this close to winning control. But "fighting as hard as you can" is not conducive to thoughtfully listening to the other side.
This is neat, but both Android and iPhone are really poor choices if you're looking to travel with a computer. Particularly on the iPhone side of things, you're basically screwed if you lose your network connection, since you aren't going to be doing many interesting things with the local shell. Android is a little better, but you'll still end up SSHing into another machine to get any valuable work done.

Good, cheap x86 laptops are like $80 right now. That's about how much you'd pay for one of those fancy Logitech keyboards, but it comes with an entire computer, too.
Freakonomics has an episode that talks with one of the authors and summarizes a lot of the discourse that's happening on this thread [1]. Note that it's a two parter, one for TV and one for digital. It does a good job grabbing the economist's view trying to measure the ROI and the advertiser's view, as discussed by hammock.

TSMC Readies 2nm Chips for 2024
Exactly. GM showed with a Volt that a PHEV could be effectively a BEV 90% of the time and perform excellently even when falling back into ICE mode, but the Prime came out after the Volt and its drivetrain is inferior in every way to it. I understand the Prime is roomier and so on, but in terms of drivetrain it's woefully inferior.

As a Volt and Mitsu Outlander PHEV owner I obviously have nothing against the PHEV concept. But just comparing the two I can say that the Volt is more of a BEV with high quality range extension, while our Outlander is just a soft hybrid that can only sometimes use the battery exclusively. Pretty much all the PHEVs (including the Prime) are like that, and they gave the whole concept of PHEV a bad name.

EDIT: the Outlander has other attributes that make it innovative and good for us, though, such as its AWD system which uses dual electric motors, negating the need for a longitudinal shaft and differential etc.
My read is that there is a big unmet need is small line of business apps. Things that are currently managed with awkward email/spreadsheet workflows that aren't worth an investment in custom development. No-code apps can automate these with much less cost and time. This will overlap a bit with what's currently being done by teams of specialists but it will mostly be a new market niche. That may change in a few years though.
All of my NYC hosted sites went down too but they're back up now.

I'm not really upset over it and my whole business depends on my sites being up. DO's uptime has been really really good in general. I can't remember the last time everything went down like this in NYC3 over the last ~6 years.

Long press the Bluetooth or Wifi icons in Control Center and you can entirely disable either in the panel, saving you a trip to Settings.
I know why people don't like them and I get that you are correct that it got pretty absurd on /. around the time period you mentioned.

But I miss the jokes sometimes. I have to resist the urge to reference Rob Malda when I'm reading HN occasionally.
It's still an option in my modern Web browser. A site admin can choose not to track me if they wish - my software is making my wishes clear and in according to a standard.
Yes lower barrier to entry topics are expected to increase the noise, and also the number of participants, which makes patterns easier to see, right? Possibly lower barrier to entry also correlates with lower expertise too. I'm not sure this is unique to HN at all, and haven't noticed it being any different or worse here than elsewhere. I think we have lots of words and phrases and platitudes to categorize and comment on how people behave, one that comes to mind immediately is bike shedding, or the Law of Triviality.
I've never owned a mobile phone, that works for me. (I still have the problem of other people in my life addicted to theirs though!)
There are several group dynamics I see in this. The one I think they want you to focus on is that typically nobody defects until someone high profile does. Then the floodgates open and everyone defects. Somebody has to go first, and sometimes several somebodies if the tribe is big enough.

More cynical dynamic is virtue signaling, which can pretend to be the former.
The Steam Deck promises this, and it's a big reason why I reserved one. I think this could be integrated nicely into my daily web-centric workflow.
>Presumably this is to make it untenable for spammers to churn through multiple blocks of /24s at little to no cost.

This is exactly what it does. Hetzner Cloud will also, to the dismay of my ssh known hosts, keep assigning you the same IPv4 addresses until it becomes the LRU in their pool for a new customer so you can't do this.
Interesting. What other car makers has self driving capabilities, runs on ev exceeding 250 mi on range, and has cameras around the car? Last I checked Volvos doesn’t even come close.
Scaling an app in Kubernetes with KEDA (no Prometheus is needed)
He says no such thing though, that's a strawman. There will typically be many reason, for and against, official policies, not just one. So there's no reason to jump to conclusions. In situations such as this, mistakes are bound to happen too, as many policies had to be made up on the spot. It is human nature to fail sometimes, so the occasional mishap are excused and not taken in bad faith for the smallest of slights.

It is not obvious. It is obvious it's easy to create a strawman, and then beat down that strawman afterwards with unfounded accusations. The whole premise is false without concrete quotes or evidence. Wouldn't it be better to know for sure what was said that was so wrong, before jumping to hidden intentions behind why something was allegedly said? What would be the real difference between saying one thing or another, and why would health officials intentionally mislead (motive)? Wouldn't most people start distancing no matter what is said officially, iow follow the right mitigation. Most people are usually not that stupid.

It sounds like you've been convinced of this by someone, but you don't present compelling evidence of actual statements at the time, that Fauci used to mislead the public. Do you believe it is normal to find multiple scapegoats to deflect blame on after the fact, or do you also find that to be assisting of psychopathic behaviour? Scapegoating is just an extension of making strawmen, but it fails the moral compass, as it doesn't help anybody. It's just something someone uses to tear down the people besides them, for their own selfish gains and for everyone's detriment. Why support such behaviour at all, and not give innocent people around the benefit of doubt? What good do you think will come out of rewarding such behaviour?

The main difference may be wether the reasoning is based on reasonable facts and agreements/responsibilities, or if it is based on feelings and emotions. If the latter, it seems misplaced as finding a small fault in others do not excuse the massive strings of manipulations, lies and gaslighting from the top position in that environment. Or should we all be drinking bleach and shine light on our bodies, to be safe from an influenza-like sickness (it is not really)?

It's better to re-examine the main source of problems, what gaslighting is and how it works, rather than officials around scrambling to make the best out of a tough situation, without proper support and room to find a clear voice to the people.

If everyone around a person is hopeless, it is that person that is hopeless. Nothing good comes from supporting people tearing everyone down. The difference is between the occasional mishap, versus a long string of pathological behaviours. It's too easy to hold on to an ideology or ideas, and then excuse such behaviour, but the results will be self-evident from the bad actions themselves.

You may not condone that type of behaviour, but I think it excuses mishaps and mistakes, and should lead to questioning the premises and goals behind accusations.
> Why did Cisco even bother to make network equipment that doesn't support IPv6?

The same reason credit-card payment terminal people sold almost-EMV terminals to retailers in the US around 2010-2015: so their customers will come back 5 years later needing another upgrade to something they should have bought originally.
I think that Snowden leaks were more or less an open secret. I mean, it is about spies spying. Sure, the NSA overstepped its borders, but it is not exactly the first time (remember ECHELON), and the way it did that wasn't revolutionary. They didn't have a quantum computer, nanobots or anything like that: just competent computer security specialists and too much money to spend. Not even something significant like breaking commercial-grade crypto or anything like that, they "broke TLS" by inserting wiretaps in datacenters where data wasn't encrypted.

Snowden gave proof and technical details about what was happening. It is like showing proof that Israel has nuclear weapons. Israel doesn't talk about it, they may or may not have nuclear weapons, most people think they do, and such a revelation won't surprise anyone, but it is still a big deal, because they can't use their "deliberate ambiguity" strategy anymore.

Document Database Transaction Models
3) 36% of global grid power comes from coal down from 41% in 2013. It’s expected to hit 22% by 2040.

Secondly coal isn’t nearly as bad as you might thing relative to gasoline. Simply producing gasoline releases significant CO2. Refineries alone release approximately 2.5 lb of CO2 for each gallon of gas, add in exploration, extraction, and transportation means gasoline is doing a lot of damage before reaching your car. Next gasoline > car engines > transmissions is vastly less efficient than EV’s coal > power plants > electric grid > batteries > EV transmission.

Net result while some of the energy comes from hydrogen in gasoline it’s still actually worse for the environment than coal, much worse than natural gas, and vastly worse than everything else.
About bopbeepboop: The comment was not flagged, the account is banned. Look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26735029 near the end of the tread, the post by dang

A good trick is to go to the comment history, and search until you find the last streak of not dead comments. It's fine to vouch the [dead] comments (if they are fine), and enough vouch unkill the comment. In the case of bopbeepboop it looks like many of the comments were vouched.
"Not so long" must be somewhere in early 90s. Most of Europe phased out leaded gasoline by 2000.

From my experience the thing that affects the exhaust smell more than leaded/unleaded is whether the engine has a catalytic converter. A car without the converter running on unleaded will have the same sweet smell the parent is talking about.
