I have trouble preaching privacy when the "what about terrorists?" card gets pulled. I can tell them how the NSA's bulk collection of phone calls stopped 0 terrorist attacks, but as long as they can name 1 incident where breach of public privacy prevented an attack, it's worth it. I really don't think it is, but I'm not sure how to convey a reason which will resonate with them.
You can see why they might not want to share data they had to spent money to gather when their competitors would then get access for free.
Switzerland, like California, is a direct democracy. Taxes that touch the assets of voting demographics fail while taxes that burden non-voting demographics pass.
I've heard good things about Panasonic's LUMIX G7, and it looks to be at a very reasonable price point. I personally use a Fuji X-T3 which is also more reasonably priced than full-frame, between that and Micro 4/3 price-wise. The main differentiators for a smaller sensor are low-light performance & dynamic range, but 99% of the time these won't matter. Megapixels shouldn't really even be considered - any of these cameras can take a photo to put on a billboard, DPI scales in relation to optimal viewing distance

So what you're saying is that it won't change your behavior. Why don't you just donate $1000 or whatever to a charity? (I dunno, maybe you already do). I don't mean to attack you, but encoded in your very language is the exact problem. No one is willing to change their own behavior, they want other people to change. Repeat this x 7 billion and suddenly you understand what the inertia is.

We live in the fading dream of a world that we sold to us that we could do whatever we want with absolutely no consequences; worse, that everything that we did that "made money" and contributed to GDP growth was good for everyone. Turns out that that was bullshit greed talking and the God of consequences is visiting its revenge on us through the same lesson every petri dish full of bacteria learns: you will choke to death on your own waste products.

Admitting I was wrong on crypto-currencies
I think with the geekport that you might be getting mixed up with the BeBox. "The BeBox aimed to be the ultimate multimedia workstation. It had dual PowerPC CPUs and tons of I/O options including four MIDI ports, multiple sound ports, and the "GeekPort", a 37-pin connector that had power plus digital and analog I/O with a built-in ADC and DAC. Less than 2000 BeBoxes were sold so it's very rare to see one today."

FWIW, I didn't detect any snark in your words either. Perhaps brevity was mistaken for snark?
Also, the more infected we have, the more likely another new strain will come up that is even worse than Delta. Unfortunately with the current international COVID numbers this is almost inevitable. Hopefully we can delay it in time to create boosters. However Delta hit us so fast there was no chance. Luckily the current vaccine is still pretty effective against Delta, even if it is a bit limited.
What I learned from debating Crypto Skeptics
Iran and Venezuela would not have the crypto tool if it had not been for a free society in which they can operate. The fact they were tyrannical oppressive regimes before crypto came along is besides the point. They have them now and are proving useful for their citizens. I don't know how you say they haven't helped "much". I've heard they are proving very useful. Maybe not in overthrowing the regime, but at least in helping them to survive.

It's definitely useful in the hyperinflation environments happening in those countries.
Minecarts get to be more useful when you want to travel long distances without having to touch the controls.

You might want to take a look at the table on this Wikipedia page showing the frequency bands where LTE has been deployed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands

It already ranges from 450MHz to 5.2GHz.
First you just talk about the subject openly to determine who has how much flexibility and if you can compromise and where.

Only when you reach the conclusion that you can reach compromise acceptable to both sides you say your goodbyes.
Vanilla Minecraft has a decent smattering of ores (they just added copper) - but if you want the rabbit hole you head into something like GregTech: New Horizons and the massive ore dictionary it has.

The reason why I think so is that the versions of proteins with heavy metals seem to be superior to those with the supposedly "correct" metal, as well as the heavy metal being extremely strongly preferred by the metabolism.

In the case of lead, it seems to be necessary for glucose transport, and seems to have effects similar to Rapamycin. It seems that Rapamycin basically only works by compensating for lead deficiency to some degree.

I quit my previous job over WFH, even before the pandemic. They moved the office farther north, farther from my home, through some nasty traffic. I asked to work from home, they said no, I quit.

Now, they have all been working from home for a while and embraced remote work for the entire company. Good for them. It just didn't work out for us.
> Not sure what you mean about coming into the country,

Sorry, I meant on departure from Australia. I distinctly remember going through something like passport control on departure.

"When departing Australia, you need to present your passport, completed Outgoing Passenger Card and boarding pass to an ACBPS officer" [0]

Though the paper based Outgoing Card seems to have been deprecated in 2017 (before my visit)

I don't really have an opinion but the concept was alien to me at the time. Maybe the process is/was less obvious in UK, split between the airlines, advanced passenger info etc.

It may not be open source, but it still offers much of what I think is important. Development is done in the open, very much following the bazaar model. Users of the software are free to read, modify, and release forks/patches of the source code. For the vast, vast majority of users that are not trying to sell elasticsearch as a service the terms of the license may have changed, but in practical terms all the things I care about are still there.
No, that is completely possible. I have worked on a project where we ran mostly standard LTE hardware in the ISM band (2.4 G) and it worked fine.

Today I learned that this chill futuristic music I regularly listen to is considered Psytrance. I recognize "Carbon Based Lifeforms" in the samples, "Derelicts" is one of my favorite albums from them. I also recommend checking GoldPile out on YouTube.

Thanks for the site. It is really cool and makes me want to do some more searching, plus it reminded me of a summer island vacation where a friend got us to listen to some Psytrance / Goa, which he was jokingly referring to as "laserbeats".

No it really isn't. HN is not the correct forum for this sweeping psychobabble.

> Does anyone really need a GPS synced watch that is accurate to the nanosecond? No, people want it because they think it's cool.

No, we buy these accurate watches because a) there are only a few such watch makers, and b) they all use an even smaller pool of GPS chips. And its these chips that have the precision that bugs you so.

The key difference is that we allow you to invest all your money and still give you instant access to cash. With traditional banks/brokerage accounts, yes, you can invest your money, but if you invest it all, you can't go to the ATM and withdraw money. With Financial Choice, you can.
Wow, cutting it a bit close on hitting up the locals for advice :)
Im guessing you actually know someone over here and are already employed. Housing in Palo Alto is not inexpensive and its quite a commute to places that are more affordable. If you can work remote dont live in the bay area unless you can secure about $1M to purchase a place. Renting in the bay area is throwing money away (usually a lot of money too). Dont buy in the forested areas between Santa Cruz and San Francisco or any of the forested areas east of 880. Much of these areas are for sale now and one lightning storm away from a wildfire. I dont find San Jose very attractive either.

Which one would you find more snarky?
Spatial Finder was the ultimate example of "It just works" from Macs in the past. Unless you knew what it was doing (always opening folders in the same place), it was something that would be hard to articulate as an advantage over other operating systems.

The tradeoff against that of course was that you could not open the same folder in two different windows. With OS X, Finder implemented Miller Columns[0] (as taken from NextStep), so that ended spatial Finder, since windows could no longer be associated with particular folders.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of Miller Columns as I find the easy hierarchy great as part of the "operating system is the dev environment" approach, but if I worked on more chaotic art projects perhaps I'd like spatial finder more. Either way I use Windows now and most of the alternative file managers don't seem to integrate into the OS well, so I get neither lol

The good (and bad) news is this will solve itself: if we don't act, humanity will die off substantially and technologically regress. Without dense and easily extractible energy source like hydrocarbons we're unlikely to achieve this level of technology again, and famine, war, and disease will take their natural courses when we can't fertilize our crops like we have in the past, are fighting new weather patterns, and don't have the research base to create sophisticated medicines. We can avoid it and become a post hydrocarbon energy based world, but given the last 5 years, I don't think collectively people are intelligent enough to pull it off. It is a shame, it would have been nice to discover more secrets of the universe and to colonize the solar system.

Regardless of what you call your antivax rhetoric, this is utterly wrong. It's not the same people. There's no fucking correlation here beyond "politics is brought to you by politicians" so stop using an issue HN is upset about to try to prop up your pet peeves.

> This, alone, is insufficient. AML duties aren't discharged by an "I promise I'm not a money launderer or tax evader" checkbox.

A Maltese company operating a server in Russia is under no obligation to follow US law for a customer who attests that he's Israeli. American KYC/AML provisions do not extend to the entire globe, and non-American entities are under no legal obligation to comply with them.

It is true that the US has a long arm of pressure that exists in the form of the SWIFT banking system. But the thing about crypto native companies is they never touch SWIFT to begin with. So unless you propose deploying the 101st Airborne to Valletta, how do you propose forcing foreign crypto companies from complying with US regulations.
New study reveals antibodies fall dramatically 3 months after vaccination
This study was done after second dose, so you are considered fully vaccinated. Link below is best for details if your Portuguese is ok, or if you are willing to use one of the online translators:

https://www.dn.pt/sociedade/estudo-revela-que-anticorpos-cae...

This is a study from one of Medical Research Hospitals in Portugal. It has a high reputation and multiple scientific publications per year.

Its a study of more than 9000 medical professionals. The outcome would be then that a 3rd dose should be required.

I am trying to find a link to the study and have contacted the researchers. Multiple media reported on this yesterday but I could not find yet a public link.Its also interesting they tracked the users that had antibodies already prior to starting their vaccination process. About 6% already had antibodies, so build them probably due to contact with the virus but with asymptomatic results.

Edit: Additional interesting info. The sudden drop in antibodies ( about 1/6 of the original value after 3 months) was more gradual for persons who created antibodies prior to starting the vaccination program of 2 doses. You are probably also interested in knowing if this was Pfizer, AstraZeneca etc...I am still trying to track those details.

>if you don't want to store pictures in clear on your servers

Reading https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 , it seems that Apple may encrypt pictures on their servers, but they have the key. The list of what's actually end-to-end encrypted doesn't include photos. So, they may be scanning on your phone, but they can scan on their servers if they wanted to.
This study is a bit old and I’m ignoring their “technology based” method because I don’t think the climate cares if a country would have emitted less if they had equivalent tech[*] , but it shows Chinas consumption based emissions is about 84% of its production based emissions. I.e., 84% of the emissions generated in China were for products/services consumed in China.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S146290111...

To your point, though, the article corroborates the emissions export claim. (The US is shown as a next exporter in emissions, with consumption based emissions ~13% higher than production emissions). Both points can be simultaneously true.

[*]for the sake of this discussion, at least. I can understand the relevance for creating policy though
An eavesdropper would already be able to see this in the sni information.

SNI is even more accurate, because things like cloudflare certs are often for 100s of different domains with many wildcards.

eSNI has not really taken off yet, so almost always your requests are saying the exact domain you are going to in clear text.

However, the bit about the CAs getting some analytics about certs they issue is valid.

Animation here in the US can also be fabulously low paid but through a different kind of labor exploitation.

Especially in New York where SVA is producing a glut of animators, many people work at "internships" for _years_ after graduating. I have met someone who was in an unpaid internship for 8 years at the same company...

Also the pay terms are usually Net180 and many clients just don't pay, knowing that animators are too timid to sue. This can happen to the studios too.

Animation Collective (defunct) was once doing months of animation work for a faith-based organization that late into the project the client said "God came to me in a dream and told me not to work on this" and then stopped paying the studio. The animators never got paid for the months of work they'd put in.
All I hear is excuses. Excuses why someone "needs" to drive a 2 ton truck, excuses why someone "needs" to fly across the Atlantic, excuses why someone "needs" a house with more bathrooms than people, excuses why it's too cold/hot to cycle.

To be honest I'm a bit fed up with hearing it.
McDonalds corporate absolutely must be complicit in this. They have the purchasing power to dictate specifictions to Taylor for any piece of equipment.

Many other restaurants have soft-serv ice cream and don't have these issues with the machines. And many of them use Taylor machines, they just have to be cleaned manually which adds labor costs to the restaurant.

When I worked at McDonalds, one crew member on the closing shift had the responsibility of cleaning the soft-serv and milkshake machines. Every part of the machine that contacted the dairy product was disassembled, washed, and sanitized. It took the better part of an hour. This was done every day. The next morning it was put back together by the opening shift. That was another labor cost.

McDonalds is trying to save between 1.5 and 2 hours a day of labor with the machines that do the automatic heating/sterilization. That's the only reason any of this is happening.
During the industrial revolution there were no clean alternatives and there wasn't a clear understanding of the consequences. While indirect, modern developing nations greatly benefit from the existence of modern technologies developed by those who have already gone through this, and they are capable of learning from the mistakes of the west.

I really think the idea, that as a species, we need to redo the entirety of the industrial revolution individually for every nation is completely ridiculous. It would be one thing if it was contextualized as just infrastructure ramp up, but that's not the reality of this. (also why is China, the worlds second largest economy, always bundled in with developing nations?)

> That is for western countries to pay a retrospective “sin” tax that gets distributed to other countries to fund climate action programs with better oversight

This line of thought is doomed for failure, geopolitical "oversight" doesn't mean anything, that money won't go to productive climate action programs, no matter how much people want them too. In my mind the only pragmatic way the west can influence developing nations CO2 output is by subsidizing clean energy technologies to be more competitive in an international market, or at least something to that effect.
From the underlying paper[1], I found this excerpt:

“The photocurrent or the short-circuit current density (JSC) extracted from BTO is around 0.415 μA/cm2. … The JSC value from SBC555 is around 11.03 μA/cm2 and is about 25 times higher than measured in BTO. The open-circuit voltage (VOC) in the case of BTO was found to be around −0.007 V, as opposed to −0.058 V in SBC555.”

Here, BTO is the existing material and SBC555 is the new material from the paper. Multiplying JSC by VOC to get power density , we see that BTO yields 2.9 nW/cm^2, while SBC555 yields 639.74 nW/cm^2.

For reference, according to [2], we have that “typical external parameters of a crystalline silicon solar cell as shown are; Jsc ≈ 35 mA/cm2, Voc up to 0.65 V.” Notice the unit difference of mA/cm^2 here vs uA/cm^2 above. Multiplying these parameters yields 22,750,000 nW/cm^2. So we see that these cells are still approximately 100,000x worse at producing power than the current crystalline silicon cells.

It depends what you mean by 'closed-source'. Yes it's probably impossible to certify a radio baseband that anyone can hack on. It would be possible to manufacture a radio baseband for which all the source code was public and anyone could verify that that source code was running.
> Some people aren't vaccinated because they're too young, they have some medical condition, or they had the misfortune to be born to anti-vaxxer parents.

Kids being unvaccinated strikes me as a weak argument because they are the least vulnerable demographic on average. Rare medical conditions is also a weak argument because those types of people are exceedingly rare.

> This stance isn't compatible with the current position/branding of either the Democrats or the Republicans.

Ouch, this really strikes at one of the core issues. In a very real sense, covid could be re-framed as a proxy war for political control, a crisis that has (and continues to be) artificially hyped and prolonged for political advantage.
