Qubes is wonderful. I read HN and surf the web/social in a dvm - disposable vm, so if you are exploited, not only is it contained to the vm, it’s contained to the vm until you close it, at which point all changes are discarded.

(Modulo any Xen exploits that make it through and affect Qubes. no security is perfect.)
And you also shut down from it... I suppose calling it the Stop Menu didn't seem like a good idea, though. Making it the Windows logo does make it more similar to macOS and its Apple Menu (which does less and less over time, the opposite of Windows, ironically). I vaguely remember Gnome used the G 'foot' symbol for its main menu, though it doesn't scale down very well, so giving up on that was probably wise. For all three I tend to just to invoke their launcher with the meta key (meta-space for Spotlight on the Mac, though I like Albert personally) and type what I want instead of digging around in the menu, these days.

Yes, i don't think people realize just how ruthlessly enforced alignment with US foreign policy goals is on Wikipedia. In matters of foreign governments and current events related to war, Wikipedia is essentially a propaganda page of the CIA. Very few editors control exercise real control over the foreign policy information on Wikipedia. It is not the democratic neutral source that people see it as, and that's part of why it's a good propaganda tool. It is kind of a Trojan horse into your trust boundaries.

If you watch some of the edit wars when a big event happens in the news, you can often see very useful information (with sources) being thrown away. It's not really possible to get information on there that conflicts with the current military goals, because that would upset the mission.

It might be an overly cynical view of the world, but maybe hurting them financially this way is the only way to make big enterprise understand that treating their employees good matters.

If a plague wiped out 50% of the population of the First World countries, wages wouldn't go up, they'd disappear entirely.

The just-in-time supply chains that keep the lights on and food and other goods in the stores would fall apart within a couple of weeks.

Medieval starvation was local. Areas were largely self-sufficient in the bare essentials - except in bad years, which happened regularly enough to keep a lid on population growth, but not so regularly they caused widespread depopulation.

Trade was mostly for useful extras.

That's very much not true today. Everything is specialised and interdependent, and not even farming areas are truly self-sufficient.

This was - and possibly still is - the biggest risk from a pandemic. It's hard to calculate the exact tipping point, but when you have a certain percentage of the population unable to work for a couple of weeks or so, essential systems start breaking down.
Well, ideally you'd want to treat int/int -> rational. The original form is quite obfuscated, some of the parentheses are to enforce evaluation of the given string as number (and the various programming languages will differ as what number that'll be, due to representation of decimal fractions and type conversion), some parenthesis are plainly superfluous, yet still there is remaining ambiguity (how is a%b/c to be interpreted? Most programming languages will do this left->right, but better make that explicit). Prefix notation to the rescue:

> The opioid epidemic was largely caused by the idea of them being non addictive being heavy pushed by the pharmaceuticals industry.

I definitely think the pharmecuetical industry pushing drugs is a big problem. But that doesn't mean we should deny people treatments that work. Instead we should fix the actual problem: innapropruate presceiptions. Note that opiods are mostly not a problem here in the UK for example. We're much stricter about when they're used.

In any case, I think there's much less risk here. Ketamine is a somewhat addictive, but nowhere near as bad as opiods, and cannabis and especially psychedelics are pretty much not addictive.

It doesn't seem too good to be true to me. It seems obvious that the chemicals which clearly affect the mind are the ones which are likely to have some use for... affecting the mind in a positive way. They've at least cleared the first hurdle!
> It's a given that you do not want to contract COVID-19. Vaccination and wearing a mask will help.

How does that explain delta spread being biggest in highly vaccinated countries?
Purple Air already has pretty good coverage of Lake Michigan[1].

They also have good coverage in my area, but when wildfire smoke was bad in CA last year I spread out four PM2.5 sensors outside and two inside using Home Assistant/ESPHome. They respond to conditions very quickly, and I could see waves of smoke pass through.

Why does that matter? Keeping everything closed up and using an air purifier really improves the indoor air quality, but it also gets oppressive when you never exchange any fresh air. The nearest Purple Air sensor is 2000ft away on the other side of a hill. At times it might be an equivalent 80 AQI here and 200 AQI there or vice versa. It was convenient to know when opening a window to let out some stale air brought in less new smoke to have to filter.

A DIY approach isn't just cheaper, it allows the addition of other types of sensors like NO2, SO2 and ozone, and it makes fine-grained data collection affordable. Kingsloi expressed an interest in monitoring other pollutants in addition to PM2.5/PM10. In my particular case it is adding NDIR CO2 sensor inside.

All of these sensors have a limited life span. The $250 PurpleAir PA-II has a 1 year warranty. Even though it is likely to last a lot longer than that, it is a pretty large markup over $40 per setup, especially if Kingsloi's needs include other pollutant sensors. The Purple Air network is an advantage, but a nonprofit started by Kingsloi could partner with air quality organizations in Michigan or Illinois, too.

And because no one except Apple have access to the private iOS APIs required to run background processes forever, you would have to remember to keep the app in the foreground while it completes syncing on a regular basis.

Also, you can restore an iPhone from what SyncThing can back up. Only an iTunes or equivalent iCloud device backup can. They also can’t back up things like MFA keys / seeds / IVs.

I’m glad ST exists and it’s useful for syncing photos for home use, but it is not a viable iCloud alternative, nor could one be made due to the private iOS API issue.
That's why you hold assets, not currency.
>I’m glad we are moving away from the incredibly destructive drug policies that have been in place for so long

The point of the polices was to counter the incredibly destructive result of the surge of cocaine, crack, heroin use in the mid 1970s and early to mid 1980s. And the deaths from the drug use and the gangs fighting over the spoils. It really was a war. Mexico didn't seem to make it, I think the drugs won.

I know for some people these days it's cool to poo poo the so-called "war on drugs" but to Gen X who lived through the surge it was not a great time. Every day some news of deaths, fights, we were constantly reminded of it. Something had to be done and the free-for-all didn't seem to be working. I guess just like psychology you hear of examples where the stern family raises a wild child and the carefree family raises a straight-edge child the program backfired.

Drugs are chemicals just as is water and yes if a drug is useful then study it and use them for good if possible. But to others it seems many view all drugs as holy and that they can do no wrong is ridiculous.
If you are interested in cutting sugar out of your coffee, I would suggest maximizing the quality of your coffee while you adjust. I would recommend trying single origin coffee from Central America. These have fruity and sweet flavors, and are a good place to start with black coffee. It also helps to have some to help explain what you should be tasting.

This is at least how I (accidentally) ended up switching to black coffee. Ymmv.
Why does anyone care what commentors on HN think?

Yeah, but one of the big parts of the Brexit referendum’s two Leave campaigns was moping about a number merely twice that size being spent for all the combined benefits of a customs union and single market (the absence of which is now being blamed as a partial cause for empty supermarket shelves!), not something which cynics already deride as a billionaire size-measuring contest. Much as I love space, any proper space program — even ones well short of colonies — must do something tangible down on Earth.

I found this last night after my recently re-capped Macintosh 512Ke started flup-flup-flup on boot. I found some old forum posts about re-soldering the flyback transformer but that didn't fix it.

One of the forum posts had a link to The Dead Mac Scrolls and after reading the section on tuning the voltage lower, powered it up and Happy Mac Sound and booted right up.

Aye! Fuck the oppressive CCP shithole agenda!
That would be great if I could run an iCloud back-end on my home servers. Unfortunately, I can’t, and no software other than iCloud can do what iCloud does on iOS due to Apple’s usage of private iOS APIs to accomplish things like persistent background sync or syncing parts of the OS which would be required to do a full device restore that aren’t accessible to user space apps.

WeWork's initial execution wasn't bad, as far as I can tell. It was their business model that failed, not the product delivery.

>Weren’t the Opium Wars started because China wanted Britain to stop selling them addictive opium?

Yes and out of the opium wars I believe is why the state of Hong Kong came into existence. China had contractual obligations to buy opium, I believe they ended up dumping it into the bay in sort of a Tea Party type scenario but it was the Chinese government who did the dumping.

The opium wars are pretty damn fascinating. OH and if I'm not mistaken it was a contractual obligations with the East India Trading company and the British government backed the EITC by making a trade blockade.
Not a factor. Russia uses European oil and gas money to finance their grand modernization of armed forces, destablization of Europe (war in Ukraine, puppet dictator in Belarus) and proxy wars in places like Syria. No shit that the US - at least prior to Biden - opposed this. European money is going towards gunbarrels aimed at Americans.
There has definitely been an uptick. You see it quite a bit in lefty and progressive media -- and I say this as a frequent consumer of such media. It seems like the term has lost a lot of its meaning and has become a synonym for "person I don't like." You especially often see it applied to someone from the other political side of the aisle who joined the media after leaving politics.

If that's the case, it's a recent development in the last several years. Possibly since the Ukraine incident. Russia and the Taliban have been enemies for decades before.
All your comments turn up dead now.
It’s hard to say. Words like “I’d like” and “unfortunately” make me think it’s a desire for violence but an acknowledgement that it’s not worthwhile. Like I said, I’m trying to find the favorable reading. It seems hyperbolic at best.
Ask HN: How does your team organize/manage their runbooks?
I'm a member of a 15 person team who are responsible for several production services. We try to write runbooks for any incident that occurs and tie them to our alerts (DataDog), but I've noticed a couple of problems with how we manage them:

1. Runbooks become out of date. This may be because no one on the team feels like they 'own' our runbooks (even though I feel like they should be everyones responsibility to keep up with).

2. We keep our runbooks in a GitHub repository for our team, but they are nested under several subfolders depending on the service they reference. This makes them hard to find during an incident (especially if you are woken up at 3am). GitHub search is not the best for this usecase it seems.

I'm wondering how other teams manage their runbooks and keep them up to date and easily discoverable? I know there are tools out there like Rundeck (PagerDuty) and what was VictorOps (now Splunk Oncall or something), but these seem to focus on Runbook Automation which is not what we want. I don't want to fully automate our runbooks, but simply make them easily discoverable when we need them and some how encourage keeping them up to date.

Any ideas/feedback would be greatly appreciated!
How does that nuclear project stack up to an other major energy project in 2010, the keystone pipeline. How much did people pay for that and what did we get in return in terms of $ per energy produced and pollution.
> Assuming Moon Base runs on a similar scale, that's an initial annual budget of $7bn just for the shipping.

Wow that seems like a lot, which figures for launch and payload delivery are you using? Because NASA was like $1mil per kg to LEO and isn't SpaceX like $5000?

And specifically that they go out of their way to ensure that no color or colors are inherently good or bad. White and black are both colors in mtg, and conventionally associated with good and evil. But the color wheel has more complexity (white: order, tradition, conformity, black: self-determination, power, independence) which allows for flavorful white villains and black heroes.

E.x. censorship is almost pure-white or maybe blue white depending on what kind of censorship, and Tor and sci-hub and ad-blockers etc. Are all black or black-red in nature.
Some new fighters might come from the families and friends of people the US and allies have killed.

> Another reason for increasing gas demand might be related to global drought. [...] Maybe other countries have similar problem

AFAIK, that's also the case right now here in Brazil. The rain in most hydro power basins has been much lower than the long-term average, and to prevent the reservoirs from becoming empty (which would be a disaster, not only because of other water uses like drinking and irrigation, not to mention the damage to the ecosystem from the rivers becoming dry, but also because there is not nearly enough non-hydro power generation capacity to power the whole country), there has been an increase in the use of thermal power generators, many of them powered by natural gas.

Yes. WeWork is still alive.

Even better, they are going public via a SPAC. So the CEO won anyway, got their billions and the exit scam still succeeded. Theranos tried to do the same thing but the scam was detected and stopped before they could try to get away with it.

Like many blog posts, this one is just parroting and hyping the 'Cult of We' book and telling the story of its failed IPO and overvaluation in 2019.

It would be more interesting if this failed IPO was the start of a gigantic crash, destroyed WeWork and took the tech industry with it.

But given that they are still IPOing and exiting for billions and more overvalued companies are still going through SPACs and IPOs like business as usual; that 'failure' has become ancient history.

"The point of the polices was to counter the incredibly destructive result of the surge of cocaine, crack, heroin use in the mid 1970s and early to mid 1980s."

This would be plausible if the policies were focused on those drugs exclusively. However, I see the draconian policies targeted towards cannabis, hallucinogens, and amphetamines as pretty ample evidence that the "war on drugs" had much wider ambitions than curbing the usage of these hard narcotics.

Edit)
To your point of folks speaking harshly of our current drug policies - look at where we are now, 50 years later. A nationwide opioid crisis created by pharma companies. A generation, if not two, of young men and fathers locked up in prison with little to no room for upwards mobility. Communities, already economically deprived, losing stability, obliteration of the nuclear family core, and enduring oppressive policing policies. So yes, I think its entirely fair for a new generation to shit on the war on drugs. Even if the policy was formed with good intentions (which is, frankly, debatable), it is still bad policy.
Yes. There are graphics in the presentation towards the end giving an overview. I'm impressed with how much knowledge the researcher acquired in a relatively short time.

Well, its simple - I am considering a car. Don't care about underlying technology as much as: initial purchase price, required yearly car insurance & taxes, and ongoing costs of replacements/repairs due to its usage/aging.

After that comes comfort, space, practicality, engagement in driving (aka fun). And somewhere after that, noble discussions about ICE vs electric vs hydrogen etc. So far its a nobrainer. Maybe in 10 years things will be different, I'll vote with my wallet then.
You want your plane to be mostly white in color to reflect solar heat and reduce the load on the air conditioning packs.
