None of these issues are true in Colorado, or Mesa County.

For other states, all these issues were addressed in more than one lawsuit each, and all such lawsuits were rejected.

The suits didn't get filed in one state, and appear before one judge. Multiple states, multiple judges. A lot of the suits were appealed, and failed on appeal, too. To be uneasy about this is to believe in a far reaching, many hundreds of participant conspiracy.

Further, the states in which these concerns were raised are all swing states. This seems suspicious in and of itself. Why not raise concerns about procedures in Colorado? It's a vote by mail state, and even in Colorado Springs districts, there was a big swing to Biden from 2020 results. Seems like you'd take on the easy places to prove a conspiracy, and you'd raise legit concerns. But no, swing states are the only places, it looks like trying to game the refs, to borrow a sports metaphor.

Hera – Get back control of your meetings
I‘m trying to re-/sell cheap bulk object storage, by renting cheap dedicated servers (e.g. Hetzner), connect them using 10GbE and putting them into a big Ceph cluster.

My problem is how to bill people for consuming object storage properly. Do you do it retrospectively and take the fraud risk? Are there any pre-existing platforms that do Ceph billing?

No, that is the question you are trying to ask. But the real question is "why are so many people eating too much food now and/or doing too little exercise?". Somewhat related, why is losing weight long-term harder than kicking a heroin addiction?

Ending the question at "people eat too much food" is like finding out that since the last decade 30% of people have started falling and breaking their legs every year, and saying "people are clumsy and the concrete is hard, what's more to discuss?".

Hi HN,

when is a command line tool for converting and visualizing time zones.

In my day job I interact with people on multiple continents. Finding suitable schedules for online-meetings may be tedious at times, so I wrote when to help me find sensible schedules for these cross-continent calls.

when is inspired by worldtimebuddy.com which is an awesome time zone converter (not affiliated). when is aiming to solve the same problem, in the terminal.
Well, considering the fare system in Munich your outsourced a shitty job to them :)

Aside of that: it is rude and I polite but not xenophobic. They can rightfully expect that you speak the language of the country you are in.
Some people just want to commute in silence without listening to overly loud work-related calls made by other people.
yes! googol is cheaper and the bottom line matters to lot of people. perhaps this is a good way to ask people whether they'd pay additional 5-10$ for privacy.
Iridium, and Globalstar are low earth orbit systems needing very different radio hardware.

It may sound super counterintuitive, but providing a stable link to a geosynchronous satellite on a handheld hardware with tiny antenna is easier than with fast flying low earth orbit satellites.

And I doubt't that voice communications, or even Internet service would be there, just SMS, or pager like functionality most likelly.
Thanks! We're currently focusing on breaking even and becoming self sustaining. With scale we're hopeful that we'll be able to reduce the prices.
> Anyway it's pretty common for consumer electronics people to talk in centigrade

It's common for people to talk in centigrade. Fahrenheit is only used in the US, some dependencies and similar (like Liberia), so the vast majority of people on Earth talk in C.
Clueless travellers going to places like India and getting their Iphones confiscated sounds interesting

Edit: to clarify India banned satcom devices
Have they made 5-10 breakthroughs in radio communications while we weren’t paying attention?

This is only a problem when the image diverges from the source. I heard of cases where there was precious functionality only compiled in the lisp image without any source code because it was programmed and debugged directly into REPL. But this is a mistake of programmer misusing a powerful tool, not a good practice.

Emacs makes doing this too easy, though. I prefer slimv which has no extra repl buffer. It forces you to edit the sources and invoke REPL with snippets from there - ideally, whole file stays compilable all the time. Or at least to use a scratch file, to later get back to and refactor. Any programmer bitten by their own unreadable code should learn to do that and resist siren calls of repl patching. But then, unreadable code is possible in any language.
I'm just missing the small led that used to indicate disk activity until someone decided laptops looked sleeker and less cluttered without it.

Just because America doesn't like a country, does not mean it has a justification to invade that country. I thought people from all countries understood that by now.

not really. So far, the issue is exaggerated. He obviously obraied made up or modified data from some insurance, used them without deep suspicion. Once it was obviousl that there experiments could not be replicated, he did publish the original data. And as soon as he saw indications of inappropriatenes, he withdraw the original paper.

So, so far, one lousy, or lazy and rushed up paper publication.
That's going to take a while. But at least the linux kernel is starting to integrate Rust. It's doubtful they'll rewrite the whole thing in Rust, but getting it in there is a start.

I know the Chromium team was considering switching to Rust too, but who knows if that's ever going to happen. IIRC Chromium has more LOC than the linux kernel.
Very different than what?

Iridium modems are among the smallest satellite transceivers available, much smaller than GEO ones.

Looking at something like the Garmin InReach shows what‘s possible with Iridium, and I imagine Apple would be throwing a lot more money at the technical/design constraints.
The Afghan military surrendered over a week ago. While we were still in a position to decommission equipment, instead it was left behind to the Taliban.

Also curious on your hot take of this—the unusually effective suicide bombings that took place last week, (y’know the ones that killed our servicemen and about a hundred innocent civilians?), were very likely composed of the very same high explosives that we left behind.
If nothing else it would be cool to be able to send an sos with coordinates from anywhere on earth. You’d think such a small message could conceivably get through to a satellite.
V cool service! What metadata do you store btw? Can I use it to store nice dslr pics and later sort by ISO?
Is this basically the same premise as Zeno’s arrow, but with more steps?
This is looks super cool, however not something I'd be interested in using myself if I can't selfhost it (at least it looks like thats not possible from the website).
I like the idea of using it to make an iced latte. I might reuse mine with that goal, good tip!
I could tell from the sounds of the connection if it had negotiated the max 56k or something lower. Of course I could always see it in the connection properties later on, but I could tell just from the initial sounds.
Just add some risk-limiting audits (like what Colorado has, incidentally) and this is the kind of election system I would like.

Yep, universities are cash cows funded with taxes, no incentives to compete, and artificially filled with bogus classes to up tuition costs. Sadly if you don't live in a major tech city, you either join the uni cult or get treated as an outsider.

I don't think the point is to go to any extremes. Here in Paris, practically every one seems to start at around 9:30, give or take, and leave by 6:30-7. If you move things around a bit, even by an hour, it could help a lot. Bonus points for this not being fixed, so if you need to synchronize with friends working elsewhere, you could come in later or earlier that day.

I, for one, started doing this at work "on my own": I'd show up at the office at 8 AM, and leave by 5:30 at the latest. This way I could avoid rush hour, dividing my commute time by 3. This didn't prevent me from seeing friends, etc in the evening.
I want to improve parts of online professional networking, specifically to be more about self-mentoring/shared learning, as opposed to sales connections.

This is ever more important with the onset of remote hiring, remote work, and the isolation/depersonalization it brings to newcomers to the industry.

There's also an "evil" momentum in remote hiring -- some companies _need_ asynchronous interviews to support their scaling and operations, and the general perception is that it's impersonal and dehumanizing.

This made me think that if we preemptively answered interview questions publicly, then it'd empower the job seekers to have a better profile/fight back a dehumanizing step, while allowing non-job-seekers to share the lessons that were important to them.

I've been getting decent feedback on my attempt at the solution HumblePage https://humble.page, the reality is that there's a mental hurdle to putting your honest thoughts out there.
E.g. the USA Recommended Dietary Allowances.

Due to the much more frequent cases of excessive salt consumption, the minimum recommended daily quantities are not emphasized, but I have direct experience with the effects of too low salt consumption.

After having a stroke many years earlier, my mother was very concerned about HBP and she consumed low quantities of salt.

That eventually caused serious neurological problems and many months were wasted because she was not diagnosed correctly in the beginning, the various symptoms being attributed to completely different causes.

When the real cause was identified in the end, she very narrowly escaped death.

4 to 5 g/day is expected to be centered in the optimal range of daily salt consumption.

The minimum daily salt consumption under which health problems may appear is obviously much lower, probably under 1 g/day.

However, nobody has done any tests to determine the minimum requirements for humans, so the minimum threshold is not known, like also for all the other required nutrients for humans, because such tests would be dangerous for the test subjects.
They said that v6 for home networks was frustrating, but it's not. The frustration is coming from the terrible v4 CGNAT, and that has nothing to do with v6 and everything to do with v4 being insufficient.

It's amazing how hard people will misattribute blame to v6 for the very problems it fixes.
That’s true; the prototype uses Rc/Arc for things where I don’t yet know for sure how the ownership should really work out, and doubtless a fair amount of that will stay.
I dunno who his target audience is, but I assume that the majority around here are computer programmers with anywhere from $70k/year single income to maybe $500k/year dual income ?

Financial advice in general sucks. But when we get into the specifics... such as any say $150k/year programmer or higher, the generic financial advice of 6 months saving + max out 401k plan works.

The plan for people at average, 50k/year combined income is closer to the go to college and get some skills that will launch your career.

What I do find amusing is our collective inability to talk about things that matter. Ex: the paycheck is the elephant in the room. And even though it is brought up in this post, the paycheck differences between families can lead to grossly different experiences.
I'm waiting for the dust to settle with all this NFT hype. 10 years in cyberspace & tech is a century in meatspace. After waiting that, I can sit back with a cigar and some whiskey and mull over NFTs properly.
self hosting is not worth the time and effort.
It is hilarious how much we still treat pedophilia like 18th century atheists. "Look! Heathens!, lock them up" mentality that gets us absolutely nowhere. The article is good and all but I can't see how it's an improvement from DNA profiling - its just a step above left handed voodoo. Which is odd, since we are so concerned about mental health issues it seems the pyschological aspect of pedophilia is hardly explored. The notion of bury them beneath the prison whilst we put our heads in the sand should be of serious concern.
An average of an average does not yield any number that has any useful definition.

Cancel all government subsidies via taxpayer guaranteed loans. All they do is distort the market and enrich the vendors.
On mobile we already include EXIF information in the encrypted-metadata. We will be doing the same on web soon, and will then enable client-side search over that data.
Which is fewer than 1990, despite the population growing.
The biggest takeaway: it's easier to make money than it is to save it, and stacking cash, rather than aggressive budgeting, is the key to wealth.
This article from The New Daily states that two deaths were caused by contaminated vaccines. But as far as I know, this has not been stated here in Japan—two people who had received vaccines from a lot that had been suspended (not confirmed to have been contaminated) died within a few days of receiving the vaccine, but there have been no statements about the cause of death at all, or if there is any connection to the vaccine.

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/08/29/national/modern...

The article also says that additional contaminated vaccines were found. But this is a lie. The two people who died were vaccinated from the lots that were already suspended. There are no new suspended lots or suspicions of additional contaminated lots. (There is 1 confirmed contaminated lot, and 2 other lots from the same plant were proactively suspended. This happened simultaneously and are the only suspended lots.)

This article from The New Daily seems to be twisting news from a foreign country (Japan) to make a point about domestic affairs from its own country (Australia.)

I've never read anything from The New Daily before, but this reporting is very low quality.

Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
I noticed on one of the screenshots there are buttons labelled "When in Rome" and "Christmas 2019". What do the labels reference? Are you using tags added from the photos metadata? Thanks!
DoD only has idiotic requirements like there has to be a fence around their private racks, not useful requirements like the global database isn’t open to the world.
Take a look at the book "The Manager's Path" by Camille Fournier. It has surprisingly concrete advice for people in your exact position. One of the few "business books" I actually recommend to people.
What are your plans for when your app is found to host content such as terrorist executions, child porn, etc.? (This isn't trolling, it's something that eventually happens with every product, and I've been wanting a non-Google version myself but wondering how that kind of abuse would be dealt with.)
Well, I can say that there are precisely 0 african elephants in the room with me right now, so no, 0 and other integers don't have this problem. Similarly, the rationals are clearly realizable with perfect precision.

The reals however are a different problem, and it's not scientifically possible to prove that the ratio between the length and radius of any object is exactly pi (that it is a perfect circle). However, it's also impossible to prove scientifically that it is 3 or 3.14 or any other number.

Now my use of "unscientific" is more of a hyperbole or click-bait. I thought I explained my actual claim pretty well - that you can't measurably/scientifically distinguish between a universe that contains actual infinities and one that only contains some arbitrarily large numbers.
You're right that conversion therapy doesn't work, but there's at least medication to kill your sex drive so you're not tortured by the temptation. GnRH agonists will null out your sex hormones. And therapy can help you deal with the temptation -- even though it's not a cure, there's techniques like CBT and ACT and other strategies for getting your mind off it. And like it or not, it is your responsibility to get that sort of therapy and get medication.

I do find your username exceedingly tasteless, though.
Awesome work. Although the price is 5x of google’s, the privacy is worth it.

Is there a family plan? We currently have 200gb google photos plan with my wife, but to migrate we have to take 1000gb plan (which we fill maybe in 8 years at current pace of adding content). Maybe something in between 100gb and 1000gb would find it’s audience.
Can someone correct me if im wrong?

What i see here is a splitting of the set of points in the sphere? However the set of points in the sphere is not really the sphere. A point has no volume so no matter how many you add together you don't get something with a volume.
This seems more akin to splitting the natural numbers into odd and even numbers which are all equally large.

The language that i see in this article and elsewhere however is suggesting that we actually duplicated the sphere (doubled the volume).

This seems incorrect.
There is a popular opinion outside the west that American/western "woke" culture is self-destructive (rioting protests, national fragmentation, etc...), and there is a broad effort to squash movements they believe lead to it - such as lgbtq+, femenism, native rights, minority rights, etc.

The same is happening in Russia and the middle east.

It's really a shame.
Laziness, mostly. Laziness, and guilt because I could do something “productive” instead.

But judges generally will not give instructions to assume adverse circumstance if the company is following a pre-defined document retention policy. That's the point of the policy. It's effective CYA.
Your issues with vote counting taking too long are decent, but the Colorado 2024 election, didn't take too long. Cory Gardner conceded on election night, for example. Since only a particular election is contested by these... conspiracy theorists..., and nobody is trying to get Gardner reinstated I have to conclude something else motivates these... conspiracy theorists...

The Mesa County clerk is indeed trying to hide what she did. I believe she's on the lam, and in hiding right now. It looks to me like the Mesa County clerk took it upon herself to foul the process in illegal ways because the CO procedures worked, despite whatever legal things that Clerk could do. This seems like a pretty standard technique for overthrowing a democratically-elected government: manufacture a scandal, throw out the real results, put in fake results, pass new laws preventing any of your political opponents from taking office ever again.

We're at the "manufacture a scandal" stage.
Have been hoping for something like this for probably a decade – and your product looks great.

Also have a question about the pricing. I’m happy to pay at the current tiers, especially to help getting y’all bootstrapped. But I’m curious if reducing the pricing will be an objective for you as you scale? I’m not sure I see myself maintaining the current expense indefinitely or it making it easy to recommend to less technical friends/family.
I think you may have misread his comment
Honestly, if the coverage is good and it doesn’t cost too much, this would get me to upgrade years before I was planning. I live in an area with frustratingly bad coverage from all providers, and if we ever go on a hike or something a little further out of the city, we get no service at all about 30% of the time. I’d like the extra peace of mind for any potential emergencies.
That's still a rational fallacy. :-)
Helpful real-world perspective, thanks. What is Dune in this context?
The typical student loan debt is less than a new car and unlike a car pays for itself in the form of higher real wages. It's not as bad as the media hype would suggest. The trades can make good wages but the data suggests college grads make more, even after accounting for student loan debt and have lower rates of unemployment compared to non-grads. The college educated batista trope is not really that accurate.
Complete article is at the author's website here: https://homes.luddy.indiana.edu/nensmeng/files/Ensmenger2015... Not sure I buy the central thesis, but there are some good early-day stories and anecdotes in here.
The word "banker" is a homonym and you're using it in two different ways in your comment.

When people imagine bankers making a lot of money, they are talking about investment bankers. When people talk about bankers making $30k, they're talking about retail bankers.

These careers have nothing in common with each other. It's like comparing a McDonald's retail employee to a chemical engineer.

You literally just confirmed my comment.

You understand that they're not saying Germans are xenophobic because they prefer a language, but that it was just a single example. That they are two separate concepts and one is just a small part of the other.

If I didn't know better I'd think you forced more of a connection than there was to build a strawman argument.

I agree C++ is worse about the context dependence than C but they're both pretty bad about this. Notice that C has two different operators named * and two named & for example.
