Nah man, I think just being not-bigoted and intolerant of directly witnessed bigotry is good enough.
I doubt it. Most people literally don't care if Amazon is recording all their conversations. Even more people don't care as long as nobody at Amazon is actually listening.

Hm, no not I have not seen that, at least not that I can remember. Fortunately since I carry a computer in my pocket I can easily calculate it as needed.
Looking back, that shouldn't have been so much of a driving force.

Now that I think of it, the right answer would have been several 10k hour professions. I can't say that the products I designed in 2020 were more complex or amazing than those in 1980. It would have been a chance to achieve high levels of proficiency in multiple fields.
The CIA’s outsourced torture is lost to history
My grandfather passed his K1000 to me, it works flawlessly and is an amazing camera. He taught me photography when I was a kid and took photos of us at Disneyland in the 80's with this camera. It's the one thing I'd save from a house fire if I had to choose.
The DNS part is a joke (I guess?) about how unreliable and surprising DNS issues can be. You could do the same with caching.
Right, but to SpaceX it's just a commercially available off the shelf component. I'm sure they payed a pretty penny for it, but compared to the cost of building a custom building for integration, a penny is probably a pretty accurate estimate of the cost.
This is a good point. Thank you!
Are they at least patented and expensive? Otherwise this experiment is doomed from the start.
I mean, there already are sunscreen products that don't look flattering on non-white skin. However, they aren't explicitly marketed as "for white people" - that's implicit
I’m basically with you. Even if i switch to Linux I have to trust the company behind the distro to act in good faith, I have to trust Cryptomator to encrypt my files without backdoors, I have to trust Mozilla to securely save my passwords and so on. On the other hand I don’t want Apple to scan my own files on my own machines. Like… wtf…
Google Translate is fantastic for information. It is terrible for leisure reading. The vast majority of HN readers are here recreationally. For someone to want to read a Google translated page it has to both be important information but not so important there's a human-translated version of it. That doesn't leave a lot left.
We have that in supermarkets in the northeastern US. It's great about half the time. The other half, they make you bust out the calculator unless you really trust your mental arithmetic. The small one is priced per liter, but the big one is priced per gallon. The big one is priced per pound, the small one is priced per ounce.

I really wish more people cared about this, because the obvious solution (mandating SI units) would help finally move us toward metric...
Unix Shell: History and Trivia
My take is that step by step commented explanations make sense when it's something either extremely complicated or making use of a system or tech that's not widely known.

Otherwise, clearer code, smaller methods and better variable/method names are the way to go imo.
You can verify the code yourself as open source. Also this is more about what Apple is saying it is doing, which I object to, and I feel is higher risk. But ultimately your point stands.
Energy consumption correlates to quality of life.

Lower energy consumption is politically less feasible to implement, regressive and undesirable.

Bipartisan refers to cooperation of two political parties, not 'America'. But sure, few other countries have only two major political factions. More generally I meant to promote nuclear energy in political cooperation.

You are right in that the obvious is shutting down coal and gas plants.

The less obvious is that natural gas generation is very cost competitive. Solar/Wind are not viable solutions at the deployment velocity we need to achieve targets.

Also, they are not base load, so you are assuming storage is available and cost-competitive which seems to be 5-10 yrs from now.

An honest conversation of decarbonizing electricity has nuclear front and center.
What kind of devices/sensors does your smart home control/monitor?
A couple things I notice about this list are the use of terminal and the reliance on available Linux or Docker. For example, minikube (by default) and k3d both look for Docker Desktop to be installed.

We've been working on something taking a different direction that makes it a simple app to run. It's called Rancher Desktop (https://rancherdesktop.io/). It uses k3s under the hood. The goal is to make running k8s locally as easy as running a normal desktop app.

Note, as the creator of Rancher Desktop I'm entirely biased and this is a bit of a shameless plug.
I don't know. I guess the more isolation the better. Nobody reveals their exact spam filtering algorithms. My advice is purely based on guesswork (and by chance seeing people doing the "mark as spam" instead of the unsubscribe thing on their computers)

Some years back I got most of personal mail sent from my server randomly rejected by Google. Dropping the blog newsletter was one of the things I did (the other was some fixes to my DKIM/DMARC setup that I think were suggested to me here on HN). I was sending the newsletter from a different server, but used the same DKIM domain and the same domain in From:. It was suggested to me that the newsletter could have been the cause for blacklisting.

The newsletter was strictly opt-in through a form on my page and only had around 10-20 subscribers. It had a hard limit of at most 1 message per week. I think I was running it for around 3 years when I shut it down.

Probably nobody knows what the true reason was, but some time after these changes I was able to send mail to @gmail.com domains again.
Cost per unit is present on the price tags in every grocery that I've been to. Certainly Walmart does it.
The silver medal is a consolation prize. The other countries would tie for first in the number of first place finishes, which is all that matters. Again, this is what most medals tables already do.

For a small and light laptop with 40 GB RAM and a 8+ hour battery life that's linux first, I have to say I'm happy with my System76 lemur pro 9 that I bought in March 2020. No 4K but I don't need it on this machine.

> So: where are the proposals for a better solution?

Better policing and child protective services to catch child abuse at the root, instead of panicking about the digital files it produces? If you'd been paying attention, you'd have noticed that real-world surveillance has massively increased, which should enable the police to catch predators more easily. Why count only privacy-betraying technology as a "solution", while ignoring the rise of police and surveillance capabilities?

Edit as reply because two downvotes means I am "posting too fast, please slow down" (thank you for respecting me enough to tell me when I can resume posting /s):

> How do you police people reaching out to children via messaging with sexual content?

First, this is one small element of child abuse - you want to prevent child rape, merely being exposed to sexual content is nowhere near severe enough to merit such serious privacy invasion. To prevent the actual abuse, one could use the near-omnipresent facial recognition cameras, license plate readers, messaging metadata, to find when a stranger is messaging or stalking a child, DNA evidence after the fact that is a deterrent to other offenders, phone location data, etc. etc. At first I thought I didn't have to spell this out.

Second, to answer your question: very easily. With parental controls, a decades old technology that is compatible with privacy and open-source. The parent can be the admin of the child's devices, and have access to their otherwise encrypted messages. There is no need to delegate surveillance (of everyone, not just children) to governments and corporations, when we have such a simple, obvious, already existing solution. It frankly boggles the mind how one could overlook it, especially compared to how technically complex Apple's approach is. Does the mention of child abuse simply cause one's thinking to shut down, and accept as gospel anything Apple or the government says, without applying the smallest bit of scrutiny?
yes, think about the children!

nobody thinks about the children that are literally starving every day or that are in social settings where they simply cannot succeed.

Let’s just treat everyone like disgusting criminals until THEY prove they are innocent by giving us access to everything they do.

The more I see, the more I want to literally dump all technology and go live off the grid.

Doesn't the OS X .app format package everything in a nicely isolated single file too? That's what it seems postgres.app does.
These circuits don't run on digital logic, but are instead based on physically connecting and disconnecting an electrical connection between the live and neutral wires. This means you have to work out how to use the two switches to produce a connected circuit when only one but not both switch is in the up position.

Digital logic works on lower voltage than mains voltage, and you'd need to maintain far more wires to hook up the connection (since the actual gates themselves need both power supply and ground drain wires which are separate for the inputs). Possibly also a relay to actually drive the higher voltage/amperage for the light bulb.
> You can only discriminate against white people. You can't discriminate against all of the political elite's pets. Pets include blacks, browns, gays, trans, and all the victim groups.

Wow. Pets, okay.

> I get that this tag line is more for marketing purposes, and in fact they might not refuse to take white ppl's money that want to sign up... but they are in fact discriminating in the type of content they will produce and stream-- but since its against whites it is okay.

Lemme ask you a question: are the American arms of Univision/Telemundo/Korean Broadcasting System also discriminatory since they also will likely not put up content by ethnicities other than their own, which would also be "against whites"? Cause they actually have FCC approval.
It’s harder to find frozen concentrate now. One of my pet peeves is that my Costco won’t carry it.
Off topic: I really dig `fly` from `fly.io` is there any model that is similar to that. Akin to hereoku but for k8s?
AFAIK it worked a lot better back then because X programs sent basic drawing instructions, so messages were tiny. I'm pretty sure most of them send images over the wire now for the whole window, like VNC or what have you, thanks to all the fancy eye-candy and extra layers we've added.
> they're a permanent reminder of how many times you got the API wrong

I'd agree in part with this sentiment only for the last segment: PATCH. Otherwise, unless you're just producing a mountain of garbage on a routine basis, they're more an indicator of _improvements_ in an API or a versioned thing.

As it goes with Twitter, the tweet author didn't provide nearly enough nuance to justify the statement.
I got into programming at 14 because of writing scripts in Gemstone, a text based MMOMUD. Didn't even realize what I was doing was programming until college though...
You deny reality --"White and black basketball players aren't different physically"
seriously? The only reason blacks dominate bball is bc they are different physically.
The same for why we have women's sports that exclude men.
The reason why blacks need to create X for blacks is often because they can't compete without it, which just means yes groups on avg are different.
Whites can't compete with black bball players.
Groups on average are different.
So yes, I can see why there is a reason and market for a NBA for whites.
Gigantic!

It looks like one side of the Starship is coated in some black material.

Is it some form of thermal plating or just kind of "no-scratch" thing just for stacking?
I started out on a 40-ish year old Leica M3 with original Summicron, needless to say I've been chasing the feeling ever since I moved on to more convenient alternatives.

I would give my right arm for an affordable (as in not Leica hipster priced) digital range finder with similar feels and capabilities.
Exactly.

If you deal in Javascript all day a tube frame and keeping your bearings from corroding sounds hard but all this stuff is trivially solve-able. Big complex machines like this are the equivalent of a tall stack of software. No one part is complex. It's basically a given that it will work. Whether it scales is somewhat up in the air.

The most impressive thing about it is that it can be economically viable to operate while complying with the litany of relevant regulations across multiple jurisdictions. If you just need to stack rockets it's not hard to come up with a cheaper and better one trick pony that only lifts rockets. You see examples of such one trick ponies in every shipyard.

But SpaceX is constrained to some degree by engineering man hours so they were glad to just write a check for an expensive generalist piece of equipment. Cranes like this didn't exist in the 1960s so NASA built a bunch of traditional gantry cranes into a building. SpaceX can skip that sort of fiddling around and just write a check, so they do.
Probably work in progress. But jokes aside, I think the sole reason is the history of it. I think it would be perfectly entertained as an idea if people did not remember the segregation era.
"How many times you got the API wrong"? I get the concept, and maybe it's correct some of the time... but it ignores the vast majority of software releases over time, which are evolved products/projects. What I initially set out to do != what's valuable/useful to the world.
And yet this didn't stop Apple from automatically converting HFS+ volumes to APFS in iOS 10.3 and macOS 10.13.0 soon after the APFS beta dropped in macOS 10.12.5 and it didn't stop Apple from requiring APFS for all volumes in macOS 10.14+. Apple must have been pretty confident that APFS was working reliably to be so bold.
My house is a big, fancy container for people. Where it is nice, is where I can easily reconfigure it. Think moving furniture around, wall coverings and so on. Easy. Where it hardest to get right is where you can't easily re-configure and re-decorate. Bathrooms that are fixed by plumbing. Kitchens fixed by immobile cabinetry built around plumbing. Inflexible wiring. Smart isn't the problem. Flexible is.
This is a bit reductionistic and over-sells American media. People in other countries may watch American-made media in addition to their own country's media, unless it simply doesn't have any. Foreign media, is also just that: foreign media. It's an entirely different context when watching, say, dramas made and set in Taiwan or Korea.

The fact of the matter is that in American media, most of the actors, writers, and producers are from one group in terms of looks. How is it "mind boggling" to think about how it feels to rarely see someone who looks like you in popular media (and almost never for leads in films)? Or when someone like you is depicted, it's usually a tired trope or racial stereotype?

America is extremely diverse and yet our media disproportionately represents one type of person, and only very recently has begun to correct itself. It's easy to say "hey, we're all Americans", when most people in media look like us. Would you say the same thing if most tv shows and nearly all lead roles in films were solely of Asian-Americans? The answer is clearly no.
> Which sort of presumes that there are other places said people can shuffle off to.

I think in general society and government does and should presume that people can figure out most solutions to their own problems. Our instutitions provide a framework for people to figure out how to live, and help them do with things that require scale, but I don't think it's reasonable to say that the government needs to give everyone a "designated place to go".

> Actual homelessness is something that doesn't occur much anywhere else I've seen in the world to the same level as it does in USA.

There are a few things uniquely driving homelessness in the US:

* The opioid epidemic thanks to Purdue pharma.

* The deinstitutionalization movement was stronger here than in other countries.

* Not having free healthcare.

Outsourcing, automation, and the shift to an urban service-oriented economy is probably part of it too, but I don't think that's a huge driver. Most of the homeless stories I hear start with one of:

"I got hurt at work, and was prescribed Oxycontin. I ended up addicted and when the subscription ran out, I ended up on heroin..."

"I was mentally ill and unable to hold down a job because of it..."

"I got cancer and once all the medical bills piled up, I ended up deep in debt and couldn't afford to pay rent..."
That's sounds like BS, unless you are comparing nurses working in different places, then it would always have been true

Know around 10 nurses at a big hospital. First they've always been on the brink of walking out, they earn on average less, in the UK, than starting IT workers, and they have much more responsibilities.

They're shifts have been understaffed since ever. Everyone always talks about leaving

In the beginning of the pandemic most old and sick were discharged to nursing homes, where they died

And the hospitals actually had less people, but also less capacity since they could use only every other bed for distancing. So at least 50% less capacity. And wards where covid tested positive had to be closed for 2 weeks

The excess mortality is not big enough that would be true for nurses in same position
Some of it is completely intentional - some cakes and chocolates literally come with a vacuum-formed tray that takes up 80% of the volume of the package. And of course, many brands of crisps/chips come with enormous bags that are almost empty.

Of course, I'm sure the corporations would say it's "to stop the product getting damaged"
Spanish-speaking is not a physical trait is it?
I like 2700K. Wife likes 5000K. Having bulbs that can go back and forth has saved me thousands of dollars by preventing a divorce.

Seriously, though: Controlling multiple bulbs at once is very convenient. Sometimes I sleep downstairs, sometimes upstairs. The lights I want on/off differ in both cases. So a simple routine "Sleep downstairs" and "sleep upstairs" that controls which lights should be on/off is more convenient than getting up and doing them individually. It was mere fun when I programmed it, but once I had it, it was awesome.

Also, having some lights come on at sunset was a real improvement. Gone are the days when I come home during winter to a totally dark house. Granted - you don't need Internet to achieve this.

AC compressors should not operate below 60F outside. Sometimes it's still warm when I sleep but will dip below 60 near dawn. Because of this I can't turn on my window AC all night. I have a smart switch that can handle the wattage of my AC. My next project: Turn it on when I go to sleep, and have it turn off when the outside temperature is below 60F - and turn it back on when it goes above 60F a few hours later.
Can you explain why you don’t like this?
Before it was illegal/unconstitional many unequal laws were passed. Now that there are explicit laws banning the practice, any newly passed unequal will not be explicit in its language otherwise it can easily be striken down and made unenforceable in court. This may be why you can't recognize modern unequal laws that do exist and likely will continue to be passed in the near future.
You're correct. As usual, the truth lies somewhere in between the two extremes.

People seem to really hate the gray area despite the fact the most of life lies in it.
What do you mean by "unfree world"? Is it America's pariahs or something?
Ouch. Well, never too late to take up piano or woodworking or something. After 40k hours of programming, rock climbing might be out though... your poor hands!
>You shouldn’t say “Netflix for black people” because Netflix is for black people already.

Judging from the Netflix recommended videos and casting for Netflix originated shows, I'd say that goal has been achieved at this point.

You do have to wonder how overlooked Spanish speakers must feel. That's probably where the real money is in 'Netflix for xxx people'.
The small states who have excess control in the Senate cannot tyrannize the large states (except by maintaining the status quo), because the House of Representatives still exists. No new policy can get passed unless both a majority of states' representatives and a majority of the population's representatives agree -- if they disagree, the worst you get is gridlock, not "tyranny of the minority".
At least in MN I've consistently had friends and family in VERY rural areas have much faster internet options than I do in a metro suburb.

I suspect it's just much cheaper to run fiber in those areas where there's not many approaches or right of way issues to deal with
Yes. “We must do something, “It’s for the children”, “Even if it saves just one person”. No one has ever used this triple fallacy before.

How big do you really think the market is on kiddie porn that there are people storing it plainly on their iPhones and are “safe” because they aren’t uploading it to iCloud?

This is bullshit through and through.

The best case is this is the step Apple needs to get E2E iCloud storage, to prove they’re doing enough while maintaining privacy. The worst case is that if their is potential for a list and reporting to be abused, it will.

There seems to be no scenario for the best case to exist without the worst case.
How so? It's precisely as intended. Here's thesemver summary:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.

> People accept replacing ageing phones and computers because their connectivity features are a large part of the reason they exist.

Though with phones, this is a relatively new concept. Phones used to last for decades. The phones in my parent's house were unchanged and still working after 30 years.
In our case, they were unwilling to even disclose its price to us. All we got was a slightly friendlier variant of "you cannot afford it anyway".
