I have invested in cryptos, stock markets, startups… and probably the most profitable assets ever were several ripe ipv4 prefixes that we owned for years. Insane.
The page states "California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont or Washington", why the focus on California? Is this a recent law for California while the other states have had it for some time or something?
But wasn't there an issue before of prion contamination with surgical instruments used in ophtalmic surgery.

>That's a complete lie.

And you're completely wrong. And this can be trivially easily confirmed by looking up the power outputs of vehicles that get any given fuel economy today vs the power outputs of vehicles of like fuel economy from decades past.

With respect to small diesels specifically, ever since diesels went from naturally aspirated indirect injection to direct injection and turbos power output has skyrocketed while fuel economy has mostly flat-lined.

Fuel economy is mostly dependent on the displacement of the engine and the load to do work (like cruise the highway or plow a field at part throttle) so it doesn't vary much unless the efficiency of converting fuel to force improves (hard) or the demands of the task decrease (hard for cars, even harder for industrial applications).
Has there been any research on Prions as a bio-terrorism weapon? It sounds like you could infect thousands/millions and have a close to 100% death-rate without anyone noticing until many years after the contamination started.

Imaging contaminating food/drinking water with the Prion which causes Kuru [1] for example.

That is very interesting. What are the preferred plants to grow to produce the biomass for slashing and dropping?
Battery life is a solid 7 to 8 hours with real-world, screen-on usage, provided you're not compiling software or pushing the thing really hard. I've turned the TDP down on mine because I almost always prefer it to be cool rather than fast. You could probably drain the battery in a 2 or 3 hours if you really went for it.

Battery replacement is a matter of unscrewing the case. It's glued to the interior, but I've seen teardown videos of people just peeling it off so it's not a big deal. In lieu of hot-swapping batteries, I sometimes carry a USB-C PD power bank - although the Micro PC is low power enough that it will actually charge off a regular phone charger.

Society needs downvotes with context. Show me downvotes by left leaning and right leaning users. Left and right downvoting each other is noise. Show me when an echo chamber disagrees with itself.

Disagree, downvoted! /s

Aside from political discussion, I see that opinion (say os or console X is better than Y) also bring downvotes.

I find that asking questions and giving facts (not a wrong one) won't get downvoted and stay at 1 at worst.
Hey ! I am not a robotics expert, but I work at this company (Wandercraft) as software dev, so I know some of the reasons :)
First of all I'd say that's because it simpler: we have so much to do that simplicity is a strong decision factor. That way you also reduce the number of moving parts, so maintenance is easier.
On the software side you also get the marginal benefit that you keep a 1:1 mapping between joints and actuator (an example with coupled actuators: Cassie, from the Oregon State University). That way you can have different control strategies for the different joints.
Downvoting here on HN does seem pretty arbitrary.
(Either that, or I just don't post quality comments/posts :D)

I do know sites like HN attempt to identify patterns of voting like you described in order to remove abusive accounts, but I don't know how successful they are.

I could see downvoting requiring a minimal amount of feedback being a possibility, like you can only downvote if you are posting a public reply as to why, being a system that might have some viability.

As toxic as the internet can be, I am very happy the kinds of sites I work on don't allow anonymous users at all.
Has this person even used Reddit? Or StackOverflow? Or even GitHub? I’ve used social platforms with downvote buttons; saying that they make you feel bad and should be removed is like saying that cigarettes should be removed because they smell bad.

But to be specific, instead of just using metaphors:

* A downvote carries less information than an upvote does. If a feature request gets a lot of upvotes, the voters are saying you should ship it. If it gets a lot of downvotes, does it mean that the voters don’t think it solves a real problem (so you should just drop it)? Or does it mean that they think the solution is bad (so it should be tweaked)?

A post usually justifies itself, so the meaning of upvotes is obvious, while it rarely has one, single, obvious counter argument, so a downvote could mean any number of things.

* Ranking, in general, creates filter bubbles. Do you really think strengthening the filter bubble would help?

* Downvotes get used for bullying. Their application for this is obvious, relatively low-effort, and if it influences a sorting algo, can have long-lasting effects on someone’s social reach. There are definitely groups with vote bots on Reddit and HN.

* On platforms with anonymous voting, it creates paranoia. You have people telling you your content is bad, but you don’t know who and you don’t know why. People say that they only downvote content that doesn’t add anything to the discussion at all, but what you see seems different, where informative but unorthodox comments get downvoted seemingly because the voters disagree. Who’s doing that? Reddit won’t tell you, so you’re forced to guess, and that’s really damaging to a community, because people get accused of abusing the downvote button with no way of ever proving it right or wrong.

* On platforms with public voting, someone can lash out at you for downvoting them. It’s very easy to take it personally (see point 1 on how downvoting is low-information).

I'm surprised voting is as popular as it is. I vote very rarely here, and when I do, it's almost exclusively as a vague nod of acknowledgement to someone who responded to me but to whom I have nothing else to say. It's weird to me when I get a large burst of 100+ positive votes on a comment. I think in general voting is pretty good as implemented on HN, but I would insist that voting rights be taken away for any thread you're participating in. Reddit seems worse at this. It feels strongly like if you're in a 1:1 debate with someone they will downvote each response you make and that feels... stupid.

Generally I think votes work reasonably well as a credibility system. Not the mean or total votes, because they're skewed by a small number of hugely upvoted content, but the median as inferred from a quick one page view of their posts. Honestly having a little tracker that shows the running median net vote count of a users last 25 posts would be a nice forcing mechanism I think to not be a little shit.

I don't mind saying controversial things and getting downvoted. Sometimes, particularly on reddit, you might just need to accept that you're dealing with a particularly moronic group of individuals (for me, especially, on gaming subreddits). I would assume 99% of people have a running median of 1-5 at any given point. But you do encounter people who are constantly hitting their head against -5's. That is useful information. These people are either pretty consistently trolls, weirdly mono-topic obsessed ranters, or, and I'll happily tank downvotes here, aggressively conservative posters grumbling about how their first principals rights justify acting in a selfish manner to the detriment of others or how free markets solve everything and definitely don't have massive negative externalities for everything.

People decry "Echo chamber!" but in reality most people consistently grinding their face along the bottom of negative downvotes don't actually have anything valuable to add to most conversations, and are just angry people. There is an enormous spectrum of opinions welcome on this site.
We could start doing like the comment on OP does. Send a rejection notice with a link to some list of all the various blogs documenting how big providers refuse to follow the standards.

This straightforward in the fish shell:

Afterwards you can also use the fact that arrays and array elements act far more predictably in fish (no implicit splitting on whitespace, for example).

Sometimes it's nice to have a pure bash script if you don't know your environment.

If the script is simple enough it might be worth learning and implementing a bash script than trying to test if Python is installed and the right version etc.

I believe the issue is that the kind of precautions they're using were based on some assumptions (e.g. that mouse prions do not affect humans) which were flawed and need to be re-evaluated. It's not just "don't cut yourself, duh".
Drug epidemics are not mere propaganda. Whole cities have been hit (according to articles like the one posted that I've found on the Internet) with hard stuff like crack-cocaine, bath salts and--probably?--flakka.

Current drug decriminalization trends concern a very different class of substances than those mentioned above, often objects of long-term research. It should be straightforward for a sane person to decouple one group of drugs from another.

I agree. The issue is because 330 Creative LLC wanted to include the following in marketing materials:

> These same religious convictions that motivate me also prevent me from creating websites promoting and celebrating ideas or messages that violate my beliefs. So I will not be able to create websites for same-sex marriages or any other marriage that is not between one man and one woman. Doing that would compromise my Christian witness and tell a story about marriage that contradicts God’s true story of marriage –the very story He is calling me to promote.

and follow that restriction, but "Appellants have not yet offered wedding-related services, or published the Proposed Statement, because Appellants are unwilling to violate CADA."

(quoting from the linked-to decision at https://reason.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/303Creative.pd... ).

Indeed, the appellates state they are:

> willing to “create custom graphics and websites for gay, lesbian, or bisexual clients ... so long as the custom graphics and websites do not violate [Appellants’] religious beliefs, as is true for all customers.” ... Thus, Appellants are not injured because CADA might “compel” them to create a website announcing a birthday party for a gay man; that is something Appellants would do willingly. Nor are Appellants injured because CADA might “compel” them to create a website announcing “God is Dead”; Colorado concedes CADA would not apply if Appellants would not produce such a website for any customers.

So the lawsuit is really targeting just one special circumstance - gay marriage - as a sort of wedge issue.

Agreed. If, in 1997/98, the ipv6 spec had been "prefix 2 more 8 bit values at the beginning" - and all existing addresses moved in to 0.0.a.b.c.d - we could have had a much easier path for migration (imo). And yes, it wouldn't have been "128 bit!" but we still would have had 255 more address spaces of 4 billion each, which would have bought us some more time. I think we'd have been further along that migration path than where we are now, after 23 years.
Amazing! Thanks for the detailed reply. That echoes a lot of my concerns looking at the product.

I struggled to find honest reviews of the device so much appreciated.
I get your point... you're concerned "the capability" but my point is... why mislead? what else are they misleading about.

> It's what enables Tesla to turn off features that it doesn't think certain users should have

the misleading part is the phrase "doesn't think certain users should have" it sounds like it's at tesla's discretion but in fact they are referring to a single accident.
downvotes matter a lot and you should not ignore them. they are trying to tell you something. you dont have to agree with that message, as I frequently post things on HN that get downvoted, usually not that surprisingly, and I continue to simply disagree with the majority HN community on certain topics. downvotes are usually accompanied by a few real responses that will add context to why these downvotes might be coming in.

If we're going to have "upvotes" that can amplify things to a ridiculous degree, like all the vaccine mis-information on facebook that's being spread by something like eight individuals to hundreds of millions of people, then we need downvotes too. it's of course bad for facebook's business model.
The headline might be a tad clickbaity in its selectiveness. However, you can make pretty strong argument that California stands out from the others on that list. Because California is (for the moment) the worldwide epicenter of computer technology. While none of those other states have much of a meaningful tech industry.
> But downvotes? I pretty much won't post on HN or Reddit because of them

You don't understand. The dim messages are a nerd badge of honor here! Some of my proudest HN messages are those that finished at -4.
You're not wrong, but I'm having difficulty understanding the point you're after. Farms large and small use equipment new and old and have periods during the year when shit can't break.

Of course the largest exposure to the right to repair issue is with the large farms. They run the greatest percentage of newest (so greater likelihood of incident) and largest (greater impact of downtime) equipment. However, I'd say the greatest existential risks could easily be with the smaller farms that are running new kit. You're less likely to have backup equipment and are going to struggle getting priority from service teams when you're the smallest of ten customers that are broken down.
There is fan made poetry and short stories in Klingon. It is estimated that there are 20-30 people that can even speak it fluently.

My first thought was wait is this this real!?
IPv6 addresses theoretically should be easier to memorize & work with than IPv4 thanks to the double colon shorthand acting as a wildcard for zeros and due to it being hex grouped rather than octet grouped.

As an example 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0370:7334 could be written as 2001:db8::370:7334 instead (notice that leading zeros were also culled). This paired with the fact that hexadecimal tends to be easier to memorize and doesn't have the strange subnet masking logic like IPv4, gives it a lot of advantages over IPv4's address notation.

The problem is that it's almost like router firmware and ISPs go out of their way to make their addresses harder to work with by filling out all 8 hex groups in the addresses they grant. Considering the sheer amount of available IPv6 addresses, it's from my understanding, completely unnecessary and I'm really curious if they have any kind of justification or technical reasoning for doing this.
I read the appeal and gave.
"Several states ban the sale of high end desktop computers over power consumption"?
I also strongly suspect that game development slightly favors a monolithic approach because performance is key, and it's extremely hard to maintain maximum performance with thick abstractions. Inevitably, you find out you can do something faster if you stop making a function call or treat a binary representation in two different ways in two different places in the code and abstractions leak and break.

Unless all the small processes are designed with a very firm pattern underpinning them that happens to be the correct pattern to maximize efficiency, you'll inevitably find a situation where two subsystems need intimate knowledge of how each other work to maximize performance.
That was not the case that prompted this reaction, so I don't understand the reasoning behind your comment?

The case that prompted this reaction is described in the first paragraph of the linked article. The one you refer to in the second one as an older case.

There is no mention of the older case having lead to any shutdowns, making it hard to follow your train of thoughts, since you specifically refer to this older case.

> When old equipment pops up on small farms, it's usually someone operating on a small scale (~300ac or so), making a profit off land they own by keeping their costs down. Definitely not a great way to earn an income, and it probably doesn't cover their bills, but people do it.

I would say a lot of farmers who own their land are able to keep costs down & make a decent profit with older equipment. It's cheaper & can be easier/cheaper for them to fix instead of taking it somewhere.

I also recall stories about the amount of fertilizer one puts down being similar. Some people crowd their crops & spend a lot on additional fertilizer to try to boost their yields. Some try to keep costs down & accept a smaller yield. A large amount of variables seem to determine who comes out ahead.
Two things to note:

1) This is due to power consumption while idle, not overall power consumption. Nor is it a new regulation. [1]

2) This isn't just California. These same regulations apply in Colorado, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, and Vermont.

>With complex modern machinery, maintenance and repair is something that really matters (downtime costs money) and depending on the equipment, it is something where the manufacturer has a real edge, for example, in large industrial machinery. Not talking about some trivial upkeep here.

That's why documentation, schematics, software should be accessible by anyone who wants to fix this type of equipment. It's the difference between a mechanic going up to your farm, plug the equipment to the PC, run the diagnostic, replace part, instead of you have to call a truck, pay for the shipping of the equipment to the closest authorized dealer, and then have it looked up -> this second options costs way more time/money.

But if things are getting so complex you need to haul equipment that weight tons back to the factory, then is that complexity sustainable at all?
Yes, I remember seeing this as well.

The irony here is that much of the inter-service traffic on the internet could already be sent over IPv6 without anyone noticing. Getting end users onto IPv6 is always going to be a challenge as, well, ISPs, but when my mail server talks to your mail server there's no need for this to be IPv4.
Funnily enough, you can kinda already do this with a USB-C dock. I have one for my MacBook Pro, and when I plugged my phone in it launched a desktop interface that ran on my phone. It could only use one screen, though.
The problem I have is that IPv6 is unusable right now.

Most server software cannot properly handle blocking of increasing IPv6 subnets.

And not only that, but my ISP assigns the same /64 subnet to me for months.
Who needs cookies anymore if you can just track the /64?
Even unplugging the router for a day won't assign a different prefix for me.
Scary.

I think and airborne human transmissible prion disease that kill in a few years is the kind of event that can bring our society back to prehistoric living in just a few decades. Hope it never happens.
This PC only has a a 550 Watt PSU. For context, NVIDIA recommends a PSU capable of delivering at least 750 Watts for an RTX 3080.
