WiFi was pretty terrible for quite a while after it came out in general. I remember, in the early to mid 2000s, the Intel Developers Forums had desks set up to try to help press and analysts get, often plug-in PCMCIA card, WiFi working. And it was almost certain to fall over during general sessions anyway--well some things mostly don't change.

But if you actually needed a working network connection in the press room, you plugged an Ethernet cable into your laptop.

Someone driving under influence who has an accident is committing an attempt of a murder, or a murder if there are victims.

There are all kind of possible accidents, DUI is the kind where someone decides that they take the risk of other lives. Similar to the recent accident in Italy where a ski lift was purposely not maintained to avoid stopping it. They knew that they are risking someone's life.

With this said there are two cases:

- the one when someone drives under DUI and I have to kill him to avoid a possible direct accident towards me or my family (by pushing his car from a cliff or something). I would nit hesitate.

- after the accident. I am for a death sentence for specific cases where it is a matter of getting rid of human trash (rapes, murders with premeditation, paedophilia, ...). In that case it is a matter of social hygiene. In the case of DUI I am at the edge, with the possibility of someone to spend years helping the society to try to redeem
Robinhood will fail again: stock trading is broken
It makes sense though, I believe. If you link to the home page of a website, what would that mean if you consider it a vote: "I endorse this precise document", or "I endorse what's on that website"? It would make sense to lessen the endorsement if you link to individual pages only, but not the home page / hub pages.

SEOs have, of course, gone to extreme lengths with that by doing "pagerank sculpting", i.e. making sure you mostly link to the pages you want to rank well with, and not your privacy policy. From my experience, they've stopped being overly sensitive about that now ("it has to look natural"), and it's just about raw power: who can buy the best expired domain (state entities being dumb and just letting their domains expired when they rename...), or who can rent a folder (and the links that come with it) on the strongest media platform.

It's a cat-and-mouse game, and google seems to not want to be a cat unless they can be a perfectly automated cat, and they can't.
Sure. The key is "ecosystem". A technical flaw notwithstanding, the PKI itself seems fine (Estonia also had a technical problem in this regard).

However the cards were simply rolled out: essentially the only practical difference for anyone between the old cards and the new was that there was a chip in it. But there was no surrounding infrastructure: government didn't take it, banks didn't take it -- there was no practical benefit. There were no mandates for use, no examples or or incentives. The country made greater provision for spelling reform than they did for the E-ID. There was a lot of unease about the idea of all that tracking...yet the card itself already leaks lots of unnecessary personal info (e.g. address) to anyone who glances at it.

Compare this to countries like Estonia who made a point of using the card as the easiest way to unlock government services and made it easy for companies to do the same.

This is touched on in English in this recent article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/22/new-id-law-aim...

Fantastic opportunity to connect at very affordable cost!
On the other hand, what about "V" == 5? Or one of the literally dozens of unicode characters representing the number five in different writing systems? Maybe even "five" == 5?

Accepting both a numerical user id and a username string is a very valid scenario. However, I believe you should handle that by explicitly trying to parse it as a number, not hoping that automatic coercion will do the right thing. It's just a footgun waiting to go off.
While there is an argument to be made about how much YouTube should cater to advertisers, and what kind of adult content kids should consume, perhaps with supervision, I don't see where commenters are getting dramatic accusations of "puritanical" from. The content is obviously adult, and all YouTube did was label it as such, which gives advertisers the option of avoiding it (again, what advertisers want is assailable and relevant here, but I can't see any moral problem with YouTube simply labeling adult content - that's just useful information).
All of the things you brought up are better with higher density - they aren't really debatable as much as I think you are misinformed.

It's a real bummer when a public organization (like the government) demands ISO-compliance on something as they're only putting another brick in their profit wall.

And they can be quite expensive, at $100 or so /each, sometimes you deal with a bunch of standards from the same category and have to pay $1000s just to be able to read them. Complete nonsense.
The default Kindle models did not have WiFi for several years. That cost an extra $30-50 or so.

I remember thinking at the time that hacking these would make nice sensors to deploy in the field and that they could stay online for free, essentially. Kindle had a built-in web browser, so HTTP calls wouldn't be too hard to make.

Controversial HN opinion: ten years ago everyone would be up in arms about this change. Something happened. We no longer care about device obsolescence. It's like our concept of ownership and longevity has been stripped from us.

You stream music instead of owning it, you download games instead of owning physical copies, devices are locked down, you can't run software you want, and we tolerate devices no longer working after a certain date.

It's okay if things stop working, because they weren't meant to work forever. It's sad.
As lead I tell devs: you dont need to attend any meeting that is not useful & cuts into your dev.

Agreed - I'd like to see the list too, because I'm genuinely interested in trying to find a better health care system than what the US has.

I like poking around through here to compare and contrast options: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/international-health-policy.... Some things I notice mainly are that the countries with private health insurance have at least two other things the US lacks:

1. They provide universal health care.

2. They have regulations of the market.

How they go about doing that varies a bit, but I believe these are critical points we miss for all the various reasons we see in this link and in many other discussions on the topic.

I think often in the US when we talk about private-sector, we also implicitly also mean for-profit, whereas many of the other options require them to be private non-profits. I think it's notable they are de-prioritized or outright banned, though I'll admit I don't really know if this is a critical detail or not. So I think to the GP point, perhaps this is a way to change private sector options for the better?
The article mentioned how difficult it is for minimum wage workers to find rentals. I wish it had also included the percentages of workers making minimum wage or less over the last 10 years.

A common counter argument is that people should simply make more but I’d like to see the amounts of those opportunities relative to the people who need them. Also, given today’s rental background checking, I’d claim that the landlords would simply charge more.
I have an impacted Voyage and did not receive the message either. Perhaps they only notified customers that use 3G? I always have mine connected to WiFi to extend battery life.

Hi there, I'm the tech lead for this project.

In the course of working on another project, the team and I were comparing notes with friends our various multi-process dev environment setups. Everything from a bunch of terminal tabs open, to typical Procfile runners, to advanced tmux usage, to systemd, and supervisord, and more.

There are a handful of process supervisors specifically targeting dev out there, but none that met our requirements.

Exo is our first step towards building a robust solution to this problem. Once we started hacking, the ideas started flowing, but we had to draw a cutline somewhere, so this MVP is just a Foreman-style Procfile runner. Next-up is Docker Compose compatibility, but there is so much more beyond that planned too.

If you give it a try and have thoughts, please file an issue or open a discussion at https://github.com/deref/exo - or email me at brandon@deref.io

If you like it, please give us a star :)

Cheers,
Brandon

It's impossible to define what constitutes a "compensated sexual relationship." All that this ban is going to accomplish is drive traffic from smaller dating apps to the major ones. Google says "you're not allowed to be a gold digger unless you do it through Tinder."
Surely this is a guaranteed path to get nailed as a toxic employee. Conducive if the goal is to get fired and collect unemployment.
This was the same mentality that brought copyleft to the masses in 1984. While you may not care, there are others who do care about the sanctity of license agreements. This is an argument where staying silent means you accept this approach. Of the millions of open source projects, a large portion of the contributors ARE speaking up because they don't find this to be acceptable. I personally think copilot is the future and all this discussion is doing is going to bring a license usage feature to copilot (e.g. i want only or i do not want GPL code in my copilot suggestions)

Please continue using GitHub as you were, but maybe consider acting on your words and either removing or changing licenses within your code that does not represent your ideals. Nothing is preventing you from releasing code into the public domain, so do that!
The reason other languages don't have that is very few languages will implicitly convert that "5" to a number. Instead other languages generally only have the implicit convert to string as it's considered less magical.

"Where is that point? This is a public conversation that hasn't happened."

Very true, there hasn't been any debate despite the efforts of many who foresaw this crisis happening. Right, we've had many warnings that that day would arrive and it's arrived right on cue.

However, it's not surprising there's been no debate for several reasons. The first is that in the absence of an imminent threat, apathy and hedonism reign over sense and prudence; and second, in western post-WWII societies, individualism has trounced on the older once-accepted notion of the collective good being more important than any one single individual is. Gone too are frightening fire-and-brimstone edicts from pulpits that damned those who failed to do the right thing.

That said, I'd contend that the debate is hardly necessary (at least among thinking people) given the upheaval—chaos, deaths, etc.—that COVID has brought to the whole globe. Its effects are easily an order of magnitude greater than that of influenza.

I accept that this isn't enough for some. What their threshold would be is hard to say. However we do know from history that by the time one in three are dying and bodies litter the streets as with medieval plagues then everyone is terrified into submission.

They're not running traffic directly on a road surface of styrofoam. A picture in the article shows a road embankment under construction, with a rebar mat on top of the geofoam blocks. This will have a concrete pad poured on it, which spreads the load of the road and traffic across the entire area of the embankment vs just point loading of the tires of the vehicles, so it can easily handle the weight.

Nobody is arguing over watching it, or whether people should be able to (turns out they can). They're arguing over whether youtube's (predominantly brand) advertisers are going to want to have advertising displayed alongside this, and whether youtube has the right to make that call.
I disagree. Have you ever worked in finance? Inconsistent or unexpected number/date formats have to be dealt with. And to add to it, the formats can be binary and not just text that you can look at it and sort of "figure it out". Often times these files are coming from other large institutions and getting them to fix their data takes days if ever. In the mean time there is daily processing that has to get done in order to trade at the next day's opening.

A system can't just reject data it doesn't like.
The hard science part for the first generation seems to be done, what now follows is scaling up the production. CATL targets 2023 for mass production. As the same production processes for Lithium-ion batteries can be used this doesn't seem unrealistic.

> The distributed computation requires classical communication between receivers, however, similar to standard measurement-based computation, that communication is of purely random outcomes and so can be indistinguishable from noise.

The main problem of this idea is that you also need a classical channel to transmit the information. You can use natural sources of entangled photons as proposed[1], but you will need a classic channel that can be detected. In the classic channel you will see a random stream of data, so it will be impossible to decode, but you can still see that there is some communication.

[1] I think it's not so easy, but let's ignore this second objection.
It was a oversight in picture program. Basically you can always request your own photo and the hacker already had names and ID codes and was able to use legimate access to download photos. He did use botnet, with many computers so it seemed legimate traffic. And was apprehended literally the next day.

Stolen pictures were not forwarded, so they even got the leaked data back.

Dunno, not a big deal.

Only thing was he was downloading pictures en masse. Names and ID codes got from elsewhere beforehand. ID code is not a secret here either, you can reconstruct it with high accuracy just by knowing persons birthday and city he lives.

Tho I think this triggered a fast lane for upgrading some legacy stuff that was to be updated soon. So good scare I think.
I'm usually a very negative person but another side of the coin here is that if you were good at this "speculative generation of statics to captivate" the best way to raise money was "gaming" big capital. With the risk profile of retail investors changing and more risky ways to trade on public markets becoming accepted comes a positive aspect of the naturalization of highly speculative single picks on the stock market, it's easier for more people to raise a lot of money for risky endeavors.

If it's going to be good or bad for society I don't know.

I personally have most of my money on low risk stuff, and when volatility spikes I sometimes sell options in the morning before starting my day.
I think that due to the retention policy (24 hours) that I implemented as well as lack of any "social-like" features (likes, upvotes, comments, indexing, visibility), the tool is pretty self-moderating.

That said, I'd love to hear what others think on this subject as well.
Because you can't evict folks landlords are setting totally ridiculous standards to rent from them or not renting.

It's seen as better than getting stuck with someone not paying who you can't evict.

What happened is landords renting to well off people did fine - white collar workers actually did OK during COVID, and folks with money by and large kept paying. Landlords on lower end got screwed by and large (this includes more immigrant / minority landords). Then if you had some property managers etc on payroll you got all sorts of bailout money - so rich got richer.

One group that actually I think was happy was section 8 landlords because section 8 kept paying - so good on them.

I've been following Tesla and Elon Musk for a few years already and I've seen many instances when you can see Elon doing dubious stuff.

Just before of Tesla's acquisition of Solar City (his cousin's company) they presented the Solar roof [0]. It has been reported [1] that the roof just didn't work, it didn't generate any electricity. In fact, my understanding is that even today they are having many issues with the system. How is announcing a "solar roof" that doesn't generate electricity different that announcing a truck that doesn't move?

Also, people often forget that when Nikola went mainstream, an email from Elon Musk was leaked to the press stating that Tesla was going to ramp up production of the Tesla Semi [3]. Goes without saying that the Tesla Semi has been delayed yet another year since its unveiling back in 2017.

> What’s your favorite bug and what caused it?

> A: It’s probably boring for me to say, but I just can’t beat the drunken cat bug... That was the one where the cats were showing up dead all over the tavern floor, and it turned out they were ingesting spilled alcohol when they cleaned their paws.

I think that bug explains very well just how deeply complex Dwarf Fortress really is. Drinks can be spilled. Some drinks have alcohol. If cats step in something it sticks to their paws. Cats clean their paws, causing them to ingest what's on them. Enough alcohol will kill a cat. Put together: dead drunken cats.
Importantly, every public company is not doing this.

Were it a private company, like most startups at this stage tend to be, these lies would not have been securities fraud, I don't think.

IMO this would have been a negative case of misrepresentation were this a private startup, but probably not more than a single standard deviation away from the norm, at least in my admittedly fairly limited understanding of the industry.

When you're from a culture of, well, presenting the best version of the truth possible (startup world), you can get into some very hot water if you play fast and loose as a publicly traded company, and Trevor Milton is finding out.
