>really weird voltage

No- voltage would be easy to change with a transformer.

It's that many pumps run on 25hz, not the 60hz of the power grid.

They have to change frequencies via mechanical methods (motor-gearing-generator) or generate their own power via on-site turbines.
If they stored my password in plain text, I'm not sure I would trust their 2FA implementation to actually function as a second factor to protect my account. :) Seriously though, isn't this a little like saying that a website could have two passwords on each account so if they suffer a data leak that happens to leak only one of your passwords, that wouldn't be enough to access your account?
Nope. There are plenty of local problems that the city has been completely inept at solving. Go look at how much it costs to build a mile of tunnel and how late it is. Roughly 1b and 10 years late and the clock is still running.
Terrific Street is nowhere near Tenderloin.
>why China is able to close its market to foreign companies?

Why shouldn't they? It's their market. Do you propose we do like the British, which bomb them and opened it by force to have them buy opium?

For perspecive, and to answer the "seems they don't play by the same rules as anybody else", part, the US has historically had tons of tarrifs on its own, it's how it got big - they only switched to "free trade" when Europe was devastated from WW II, and the US was already top dog dictating this "free" trade terms:

"The United States pursued a protectionist policy from the beginning of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century. Between 1861 and 1933, they had one of the highest average tariff rates on manufactured imports in the world." [1].

Even so, US still has tarrifs and protectionist policies in many areas, not to mention the whole "yield the power of our military and diplomatic power to enforce favorable deals making a mockery of the free market we pay lip service to" thing.

Not to mention selectively targeting countries they don't like to close their markets via embargos, and using their force to force adherence to those embargoes to other countries around the world, something which no country dares do back (and can't anyway). Talk about "not playing by the same rules as anybody else".

> The U.S. is projected to see nearly 100,000 more COVID-19 deaths between now and Dec. 1, according to the nation’s most closely watched forecasting model. But health experts say that toll could be cut in half if nearly everyone wore a mask in public spaces.

...

> Deaths are running at over 1,100 a day on average

This would be farcically funny if it weren't so tragic.

Between now and Dec 1 is about 95 days. So, basically, their model says deaths/day will be the same as what it is now over the next three months. Interesting.

Here is the "influential model"[1]. I stopped looking at healthdata.org when I realized they were never showing any benchmarks on how well their past pronouncements performed. I hope I will remember to come back and check on Dec 1.

Is this a true story? If so, this is an extraordinary indictment of the Chinese court system and a real wake up call for Silicon Valley.

Thus far I've been of the opinion that people exaggerate the danger that Chinese IP theft poses ... but this is just ridiculous. Has any major newspaper covered this? It seems like it should make headlines ... ARM IP is a strategic asset!

A native app running under your account can do anything you can do, so it can determine which browser you use by any number of methods, for example by checking the timestamps on the files in your various browser profiles (and of course read your browser history etc.).

Argh, I'm jealous.

I've been looking for suitable SDRs in the ~£180 range for a few months now, and nowhere has one suitable for 5G NR or 4G LTE available. HackRF seems to be pretty crippled in mobile networking, and Pluto seems to not work at all on srsRAN/srsLTE.

I doubt you'd be willing to let go of your full-size LimeSDR for £180, though, and I don't blame you based on its demand level.
Which is in line with infrastructure costs throughout the country. How much did the 2nd Ave subway cost? LA Metro expansion?

I love taking photos with my digital camera. The model is irrelevant, anything more than about 6 megapixels is sufficient. The ability to take a thousand or more pictures, find the good ones, and possibly merge them into panoramas, or even shoot videos on the same device... is astounding to someone who grew up in the age of 24 exposure Kodachrome, and a week or two turn around at the pharmacy.
Thanks for linking! Cool to see this on HN again
Forget both of those old works. Looper came out in 2012 and oddly has a pronounced depiction of homelessness and poverty in America. And none of it seems exaggerated today. Though it was made after the Great Recession, so maybe Rian Johnson was just merely projecting then-current trends.
There's human feces everywhere outside the tourist/financial districts, and the entirety of the inner city (Tenderloin) is disintegrated and full of poverty, homelessness and crime - and it's predominantly people of color who accumulate there.

If that's "diverse" and "beautiful" then I'd hate to think what "monocultural" and "dull" looks like...
> And to make it worse, each member is voted on a first past the post system

That's not actually true, we use RCV to elect supervisors (and the mayor).
Good luck, my satanic potato friend.

First mistake is taking The Economist seriously. A neoliberal rag that just had an op-ed from Henry Kissinger not even two days ago.
It definitely helps the quality of life of the Peninsula to not be embroiled in SF politics. Tons of SF natives moved to the Peninsula for those reasons.

You don't need a large city to coordinate transportation. By that logic, the whole Bay Area should be one city.

After all, you have BART running to the East Bay, South Bay, and a tiny part of the Peninsula.

Agile has always been sold as "Once upon a time there was Waterfall, and everything sucked, then we invented Agile, and now everything is amazing"

But now that Agile has been around for awhile, and some companies are reverting to a more waterfall-style, will Agile have the same sway?

In 1941 in the River Rouge strike, [1] says "Sixty thousand workers and their families crowded into Cadillac Square in Detroit" So much for "largest march."

However, you're right that Blair Mountain does appear to have had more armed conflict, although River Rouge had more people involved, as did the Pullman Strike. There were just more people in the industrialized North than in Appalachia.

Why bother arguing about this? I'm really tired of things being called "the biggest [or worst] in history" when the real meaning is "biggest I can think of, off the top of my head."

> Discourse serves up a page with JS disabled. Try it!

The only content is in a <noscript> tag, so this complaint is probably coming from people only blocking third party JS.

When reading a random Discourse forum I don't intend to participate in, blocking all JS usually results in a smoother experience than accepting scripts from discourse-cdn.com. The only exception I've found is for massive threads, because there's no JS-free search.
Clearly, there's nothing wrong with that, just listen to the music. If it was bad stuff happening in the film, they would have used scary omninous music.
Are incarceration rates low because people behave or are they low because SF police don’t bother to arrest people?
I lived in San Jose for two years. Commuted to Los Gatos.

880 had cardboard cities up and down it; my morning walk for coffee had 3-4 “regulars” living along it with frequent homeless transients.

Many neighborhoods full of Multi-million dollar properties that looked, and felt, like unmaintained slums.

The societal decay of SF extends through the entire Bay Area; certainly extends outside of its “tourist” centers.
Id's say "degenerate" is a catch-all for any activity which produces a supernormal stimulus, far in excess of what our Neolithic biology would be prepared for. Excess food, drugs, sexual novelty, and gambling all fall into this category.
I don't think this article successfully describes "why" SF is dysfunctional. I agree that the government is bureaucratic and slow, and the school system is terrible, and our government is corrupt. That's the "what." I think some of the "why"s mentioned in the article are accurate. It's true that SF residents tend to be transient and only homeowners vote in large numbers. And SF political actors see themselves through a national prism (because SF politicians tend to go on to higher office - like the Senate, Governorship, or the Vice Presidency) that encourages them to focus on relatively less important policies like banning vaping.

But I think saying no mayor hasn't been re-elected in 20 years isn't remotely unique to SF. Guiliani was re-elected, and so was Bloomberg, and so was the widely despised de Blasio. Politicians generally get re-elected everywhere. Further, it's misleading to say that Democrats always win. SF elections are often hotly contested between the dominant political factions of "moderate" and "progressive" (although those labels are always changing meaning), even if it's Democrat vs Democrat. Some candidates are law and order, and some are anti-capitalist. There is plenty of political competition in SF - which brings me to my next point.

I think it's wishful thinking to say that a "Bloomberg-type figure" would solve all these problems. The mayor doesn't have the power to solve these problems. In fact, that's one of the (many) root causes of SF's problems - in order to make progress on all the problems listed in the article, you'd need to pass ballot propositions, change most of the Board of Supervisors, elect a different school board, elect a new mayor, and change some state laws like CEQA too. The real problem is that power is too diffuse, which encourages corruption by encouraging everyone to demand concessions before any reform can be made. It also means that candidates have to run promising things they can't deliver, or things they can deliver that don't solve the city's biggest problems. That, in turn, trains the public to expect even less of their representatives.

I think another factor is that NYC's government controls much more of its metro area than SF's government does. If the Bay Area had a governmental body that covered the whole region, they'd be able to pass broader laws that, for example, funded transit across city borders. Today, most laws like that have to be passed at the state level instead, and the state is split between many metro areas so it doesn't bother to address Bay Area-specific problems.
Maybe the best solution is some sort of regional association or federation of governments working on multi-jurisdictional concerns. Representing an entire area you could say.
Can anyone comment on update/package stability when using the free version of Proxmox. It's my understanding that only the paid license allows access to stable repos. I find the community tier price a bit too expensive for my current home use case (mostly nas + plex).
Shakespeare coined (or at least first wrote down) hundreds of neologisms presumably just to make the verses scan. His English was never the best, honestly. Like, in terms of being normal English. Much of his poetry was creatively odd, but also grammatically odd at the time. He sounded unusual even to his contemporaries. That's part of why he made such a big splash.

I wonder how much the airship itself will cost at scale. Since their plan is to be autonomous, and energy costs will be low, it seems the economics of this depend on the cost of the airship and maintenance.

Put differently, if they’re cheap enough you could just buy 100 and ship 67,500 lbs a day.
"Lets not load so much static content all at once, it will be slow!", but then serve megabytes of JS dependencies and perhaps some web fonts for good measure. Unfortunately this is becoming more common.
The conclusions of the article seem a bit far-fetched to me, and seem to ignore the rhetorical style of poetry and theatre at the time. One of the examples the author gives (where they missed a contracted instance of "the"):

> [...] Look like th' innocent flower,/But be the serpent under ’t.

It is still acceptable in modern English to say something like

> Seem like the innocent flower, but be as the serpent underneath it.

Certainly not casual, everyday speech -- but using a rhetorical strategy of referring to an archetypal innocent flower, or an archetypal serpent. I think it's an enormous stretch to claim that Lady Macbeth and Macbeth had a specific innocent flower in mind when they were speaking.
Obviously there are a lot of reasons a mortgage can be declined but that doesn’t change the overall statistics. What specifically in the article is inaccurate?

I got a Jarvis standing desk several years ago. My work got me used to having a Geekdesk, but they were really expensive. The Jarvis had nicer features, like an inward curve, power grommets, and a memory bank for programmable heights. And best of all, it was maybe 60% the price of a Geekdesk.

I think many of SF's ultra rich are also very aware of the issues and are moving out in droves. FWIW a lot of my VC friends who have been in VC long enough to have $$$ have moved to other states (or at least other cities in California). I think that's an especially strong signal about SF's dysfunction given how much motivation there is for venture capitalists to be close to SF given its founder density.
That doesn't mean that SF isn't incompetent. That means they are all incompetent. You have those cities also complain about those costs.

For those who a) use Proxmox to b) manage containers c) some of which are of ostype: unmanaged (e.g. those who run a virtual OpenWRT router, like me...) be warned that the current version of Proxmox will not start those containers due to a bug/an omission in the PVE::LXC::Setup package (/usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup.pm) which makes it attempt to call a non-existing method to configure cgroupv2 support on such containers.

Where is it that we can go in a free-wheeling conversation that amounts to 'what do you think about obesity in America?'.

Hacker News talking about technology is usually able to engage with a topic or article with some manner of substance, or at the very least, informed by professional familiarity.
In this case, as far as I can tell, no one even read the site's information beyond glancing at the troubling stats.

Taking a quote from the same area of the CDC's site, which articulates a clearer thesis and goal than here in the comments:

"Obesity is a complex disease with many contributing factors. Neighborhood design, access to healthy, affordable foods and beverages, and access to safe and convenient places for physical activity can all impact obesity. The racial and ethnic disparities in obesity underscore the need to address social determinants of health such as poverty, education, and housing to remove barriers to health. This will take action at the policy and systems level to ensure that obesity prevention and management starts early, and that everyone has access to good nutrition and safe places to be physically active. Policy makers and community leaders must work to ensure that their communities, environments, and systems support a healthy, active lifestyle for all."

Regarding Nazi Germany, let's say, it's complicated. While it's true that Hitler apparently envisioned a corporate society in "Mein Kampf", in actuality, the industry was much more structured capitalist than anything else, even in WWII. Thus, corporatist tendencies merely controlled the labor force and bound the intellectual class and educational system to the state, rather than actually defining the economic system. (This is also true for Austria, which was an explicitly corporate state in the 1930s before the Anschluss.)

Edit: As far as economic theories of the "Third Reich" are concerned, there was (quite naturally) a fascination with Fordism.
Yeah but a key without a second factor (something you know) is still better than a key. Just make sure your password isn't brute forceable.
It's crucial to dig into the criteria for what studies consider living in the state at the time of becoming homeless. Plenty of studies consider prison to be "housing" so someone who was homeless before moving to California, then commits a crime and spends a month behind bars, and is homeless after release becomes categorized as living in California when they become homeless.
I never blamed the voters. Others did.

Also, you can also put forth the hypothesis that voters in all those cities are to blame.

That isn't my hypothesis by the way.
What Is Happening to Australia?
Covid is bad and all but why are there troops and police on the streets enforcing lockdowns? How did this happen? Why are they arresting people for Facebook posts against these lockdowns? I am not convinced that covid is this dangerous. The numbers do not justify this response.

I am catching up on Australia and I read this article which was written last September.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-54007824

How could Australia, a democracy, get to the point where someone's facebook post is the cause for this kind of arrest?

Or how about how an entire apartment complex was shut down and the people living there were told they were not allowed to exit for any reason? Here is the link.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-53316097

> "Unlike other Melburnians, residents of the nine towers cannot leave for any reason - they are subject to a police guard."

And this article from earlier this month just reads so wrong. Who could actually fall for this kind of propaganda?

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-58066389

> "A citywide lockdown will last until at least 28 August. But unlike other Sydneysiders, these residents have been told to wear masks even outdoors. They cannot travel more than 5km (three miles) when leaving home for essential reasons, less than the 10km afforded to others. There are also stricter limits on who can work.

> New South Wales (NSW) authorities say these measures are designed to stop infections in the worst-hit areas, with the virus spreading from workplaces to large households.

> Police Minister David Elliott told local media a small minority of Sydney residents thought the rules "didn't apply to them"."

Why are people trusting this? Who are we listening to so much and why? How do we know they're trustworthy and why do these trends seem to be pointing to a dystopia? Does anybody else get 20th century vibes from this situation? What is happening to Australia? Am I even allowed to ask someone these questions?

Edit: And...flagged. Are you serious? For what?
I think the fact approach works well for rational and logical thinking persons.

As for the rest, yes other approaches must be employed instead.

You're right, the more general problem is that the value of oil to the global economy gives enormous power to dictatorships like Saudi Arabia who spent the money promoting jihadist Islam.

Not sure I would ever call San Francisco "beautiful" - it was a dirty, beat-down city when I lived there in 1999/2000. Unless you can afford a view to just stare over the actual city to the waterfronts, pretending a bum isn't taking a shit on your doorstep right now and leaving their heroine needle for you to clean up.
