That depends on which government.

Ever tried sending a FOIA request to Facebook or Google?

Within a few miles of my home I can walk into a number of government offices of my local representatives and I can at the very least air my grievances. Sometimes they even can do something about it. Optionally but less effectively I can use a phone or email.

There is no Google or Facebook office anywhere around here. Even if there were, I would have no right to enter their offices or ask to speak to the person in charge. They're under no obligation to hear my grievances.

You can see almost everything the government is up to. You can't see anything Facebook and Google are up to. They're a black box. The law is on their side to keep it that way, forever. They can change their policies at any time with no notice and no public debate or comment. And that makes them a less "sinister threat" than a democratically elected, constitutional government with representation distributed all the way down to the neighborhood level? Fascinating.
In this case the two are tied by what some would call “political economy”. The IP laws are broken because IP holders pay for them to be broken. Civil activism in the IP space is inneffective as its both an esoteric topic and one with long duration. The IP holder needs just one bill to pass in their favor while activists need to block hundreds of bills over decades.
The proper term for this is “network effect”. Pyramid schemes only make sense if you’re remunerated in some way based on the number of people you directly and indirectly bring to the language.
I hear you! Ended up building such a system so many times, so much we've built an open-source, self-hosted system to do it out of the box! https://cerbos.dev

Would love your feedback!
Sounds like Containerise can do that
Any kind of serious turning involves lateral acceleration. The bike must lean (well, the centre of gravity must be offset laterally from the wheels contact patches) to compensate. It's an inverted pendulum, with a feedback mechanism (caster angle of the forks) and the combined effects of gravity and centrifugal force (from the rider's perspective). There are also minor secondary things like gyroscopic effect of the spinning wheels.

The equilibrium position (lean angle) of this feedback system can be shifted by the rider either by applying force to the handlebars, or shifting the centre of mass away from the middle (leaning your body to the side).

It's possible to steer by only shifting weight, but a bike with locked handlebars would not stay upright (no feedback mechanism). Applying force to the handlebars is the way to get maximum control authority over the system.

Edit: more detail... the tilt angle is defined by the lateral offset between the centre of mass and the wheel contact patch. The rider shifting his weight achieves this by moving the centre of mass, while using the handlebars moves the wheels to the side while leaving the centre of mass (mostly) unmoved. Of course, the wheels' contact patch can be moved further and faster laterally (by steering) than the rider's weight can be shifted (which is limited by the rider's flexibility).
Undetected and relatively sustained SARS-CoV-2 circulation worldwide during 2019
I worked at a scientific journal as a copy-editor, the CEO was an unaccomplished scientist and scummy businessman who drastically underpaid his scientifically trained employees while he collected as many Teslas as he could.

The entire business model was to pitch their suite of video publications to university library systems, not to individual scientists themselves. I also was obligated to legitimately spam professional researchers to get peer reviews so this greedy CEO could get another Tesla or pay capital for his wife to flip another house. Every publication meant thousands in fees, so spam away we did until we got poached or gave up on it and left without another job.
ZeroTier has a rules engine with tags and capabilities, but currently editing it requires some low-level knowledge of TCP/IP and manual management of tags and what they mean. It needs a higher level editor.

There's also some things you can do here for security that are unique, like sending copies of select traffic to security monitoring nodes or transparently redirecting traffic.
Indeed! We have contacted them 15 times, and provided as much detail as possible for case resolution. Forty-two hours later, we have yet to receive a single reply! It's truly astonishing.
We simply don't use cameras. Sometimes a person would turn it on to show something, but that's it. There is absolutely no need to be visible at all times.
What does the back end look like?

Is every garment custom made, or selected from inventory?
I think the disagreement is whether this actually is pushing a boundary. To me, this is roughly identical to the ways that services have been checking for illegal material for years and years. All of the threats are the same.
> Why isn't the argument made against the actual cause?

Practicality.

Personally, I advocate for the complete abolition of both copyright and patents, but realistically it's not something that's going to happen before I'm six feet underground.

Reforming access to scientific papers is still going to improve the situation, and there's a realistic chance of that happening.
RBAC can get you a long way, but there comes a time when you need even more granular permissions that are context aware (eg is the user an owner of the thing they are accessing and are they accessing from an internal IP address)

I love this - a KV store is such a powerful primitive, I've wondered why we don't see more projects like this
Par for the course for a uni press release, unfortunately. Not picking on Stanford at all, it just seems to be a common theme

Unfortunately the paper is not open access and I don’t think there’s a preprint, but from my quick read it seems pretty competently executed. (I’m a materials scientist but not a battery researcher.)

The cool thing about this paper IMO is that they’ve found a way to make rechargeable an established battery concept that’s known for high energy density. It also seems like maybe the cathode degradation over time could be better than in conventional solid state Li-ion tech, but I’m not really sure
How do you resize the colored top border?

As per the /r/firefox subreddit, Mozilla refuses to listen / prioritize this issue.
I thought that too until I tried to recreate a web API I run at work in rust. Turns out that the language is far less important than having really great libraries. I’ll re-evaluate rust when things like resilience4j and micrometer exist for it.
At this point I only turn my camera on for 1:1 meetings. It's distracting and useless for larger groups. Even in 1:1s I hate being unable to actually make eye contact, it's consistently confusing.
And source of bad law is the government. It's appalling how often people scream for the government to come save them from a situation created by said government.
Another related view on this, especially Chapter 6, is Chapter 18 of Scott Aaronson's "Quantum Computing since Democritus" [1], that discusses some interesting stuff you can do with SSA.

This seems to be an acquihire? IF you wanted to get a high valuation you would have stuck it out by yourself longer I would think?
It's all relative. smoothie scrolls over multiple renders, rather than jumping a page all at once

One line is plenty resolution. What next, you'll ask for subpixel rendering to deliver subpixel smooth scrolling?
I've used Capture One Pro for a similar amount of time and anything else (LR included) feels like a step down. Probably mostly inertia and familiarity by this point.
The press release is naturally all positive spin, but hints at:

[X] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

They mention 200 cycles, whereas 1000+ is common for li-ion.
It is a bit sad to see that Teslas have spectacularly replaced BMWs as the go-to car for absolute douchebags.
Well, my experience is that grey/black markets and crime pop up virtually everywhere where people can't afford to make an honest living which covers food and housing.

Once you reach a certain bar, people do the right thing.

$40k isn't enough to cover the cost of research+reporting at livable salaries, let along overhead, fake starts, etc.

1) Microsoft could afford $10M

2) I think people would be honest well short of $10M

3) The cost to customers, if this went public, would be far more than $10M.

You want people to be able to make an honest living on security research, or otherwise, the only people looking for vulnerabilities, aside from the independently wealthy hobbyists, will be crooks.
You don't know if the look at something else and listen to you at all. If there are boring meetings it's quite common for people to use split screen or a second computer and browse something or read and vaguely paying attention.
For this reason we decided to not bother with cameras.
I use 'Container Tabs Sidebar' [0] add-on which gives me a tree-style view of the different pages opened in their corresponding containers.

You might be happy to know this blog post led to me speaking with the journalist who then wrote this: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/15/technology/amazon-aws-clo...

That was nearly two years ago. A lot of effort has taken place since then to scrutinize the big clouds. I don't know if it's enough, and I'm not taking either side, but the situation isn't going unnoticed.
It makes a huge difference - it isn't about residency, it is about labor laws. If you are in the USA with official refugee status, the laws of what work you are allowed to do and whether companies are legally allowed to refuse you work based on your nationality come into play. Without refugee status, the rules will be different. If you were still in Afghanistan, then yes, sanctions come into play. If you are in a different country, they'll have their own laws.

IANAL, so I don't know what all the rules are, but it absolutely makes a different where you are, and under what status.
Yeah, that's on my bucket list too. I love the looks of Nixie clocks, but I think I've read that they generate a lot of heat. Is that accurate?
True, i worked in a insurance company, the main CRM was a TUI with a Mainframe in the background, fast and reliable as hell/heaven.

Then everyone (Management) wanted to go away from mainframe (because it's 60's technology and expensive), so we developed a Java application with a GUI and Oracle in the background..and i was just ashamed about the whole project when it was finished.

It was slower for the user, less reliable and counting the dev-cost would gave us 10years of "free" mainframe-time.
I also have no idea how to organize photos and backups well.

As an engineer, I'm good doing it for enterprise stuff, but it's really challenging for personal stuff.

I don't trust Google products anymore, I got burned too many times when they killed their products. They work, but I just don't want to use them anymore.

I currently have a 100GB OneDrive subscription for $3, so that works for now, but I'm pretty close to the storage limit. I'm not a Microsoft fan, but considering it's integrated with Windows now, I assume it will stick around for long.

The same is probaly true with Apple and iCloud.

I've relocated internationally a dozen times, so a NAS doesn't work for me.

There are also other options for just storage like S3 or Azure storage, but the price seems to be almost the same as OneDrive.
One of the unexpected benefits for me has been that I can lock any OAuth enabled app to a container for the OAuth provider I use. To login, I check which container I'm in and click the associated button.

Before this I'd always forget which OAuth provider I previously used. Did I Login with Google to DigitalOcean or did I use GitHub? Worse, I'd often click the wrong button and get logged into a new/empty account. I never came up with a good rule for which OAuth provider I should use, so it's a guessing game.

Locking the app to the container means I don't really need to think.
Compound this issue with not being able to disable spotlight indexing of time machine backups on a NAS. Often I find mds is indexing for 4-6 hours at a time, using 20-40% cpu, with no way to stop or disable it (aside from disabling time machine). Its a real shame that Apple is allowing a growing list of paper cuts to fester on an otherwise pretty solid os (looking at you thunderbolt display kernel panics, unreliable external display support, etc).
dcraw is a free tool that supports pretty-much every camera that has ever existed. You could try that too.
Remote access is the big one. It’s 2021 and ssh somehow still remains by far the most robust protocol for remote interaction. X forwarding is awful, and VNC and its ilk require forwarding an entire desktop, which is inconvenient if you’re just interested in working in a single application, or having your client machine do its own window management.

I agree, it’s an ironic state of affairs that in the era of cloud computing and thin clients (everything old is new again!) TUI graphics might be one of the best way of actually working remotely on those cloud VMs.
Huh? I'm on 91.0.2 and the coloured border is still there. If there's a newer version (nightly?) where it's gone, I'd have to agree that's an egregious UI FU.
This strikes at the core issue, it’s become a mark of tribal identity for some people. You can’t rationally talk someone out of a position like that, because it’s not fundamentally a position they’ve rationalized their way into.
When I'm using an IDE (vim-based or otherwise), I tend to have other things integrated into the editor session, for example I'm connected to a REPL or other external thing. If I pop a tab out into a new window, I don't want it to be an entirely separate editor session: I want it to keep all these extra integrated things as the parent. I still want to be able to evaluate code in the same REPL session as the parent without having to create a new session or connection.

I'm not sure how to handle something like this in a terminal editor, unless the vim plugins are aware of it (but they're not, since they weren't written for it). In a non-terminal editor like nvui, the new window could be just a view into a buffer, but still running inside the one instance of vim, allowing these plugins to keep working transparently, even though now there are multiple windows.

I don't think this is something that's easily possible with terminals without rewriting all the plugins that might need to be aware of it.
In theory, it works to bridge the gap between an in-person visit to a clothes store and an online shopping experience like Amazon.

When you buy clothes online, you can only see images of the clothes and see them on other people. You can't really tell how they'd look and fit on you.

When you buy clothes in a store, you can try them on but you're left with the selection of a physical store (e.g. it might not have your size, you might want a different colour).

With a virtual fitting room, you can, at least in theory, get the best of both worlds: a large selection of items and the ability to see how they fit on you.

After going shopping with my wife recently, I came up with a dream for how the experience of clothes shopping would be in the future and a virtual fitting room fits into that vision:

- You digitize your body (e.g. by visiting a store with a body scanner)

- You browse a catalog, on a computer or phone at home or perhaps on some kind of AR mirror in a store (this is where the virtual fitting room fits in)

- You have the items you like the most delivered either to your home or to the store

- You try them on for a final check

- You keep the ones you like and return the ones you don't (either by post if you're at home or just hand them back if you're in-store)

Depending on the specifications available to the retailer, the virtual fitting could also do analysis of the garment and your body to tell you how good a fit it is. The CAD packages available for patternmaking have stress analysis which can show where the garment is too tight or too loose and that could be displayed to the customer based on their own measurements.

The same concept could also be used to eliminate sizes from the customer's mind. The store could use the customer's measurements and the technical details of the garment to automatically supply the best-fitting size.
Aren't SD cards pretty limited in terms of write durability?
Some journals require copyright transfer, some don't.

However, another issue is that respected scientific journals generally publish only "novel research" - i.e. no matter if copyright allows you to publish it, if you have published it somewhere then it disqualifies you from publishing that work a "good place" afterwards. So the "good journal" has to be the first publication and sometimes even if you retain copyrights they require an "embargo" that you won't publish it elsewhere (e.g. on your institutional site) for a year or two.

I guarantee the actual teams on these systems want there to be a support network. Google bosses do not. There's no way internal teams are going to overcome that decision.
Ask HN: How to Get Second Job?
So I have a relaxing low six figures job which is a good salary where I live. I have a lot of freedom, still can learn and improve, and it is a good company on my resume.

But I only need to spend like 3-4 hours a day on it. So currently, I can either relax more, do different stuff, trying to build my own thing, or look for a second job.

I would preferably get a second job. I already have a house and a rental unit and would like to get another one. That's the main goal.

How do people do it? Create a fake name? I obviously cannot use my real name, and LinkedIn account for anything like that? Learn some solidity and get maybe a crypto job and get paid in crypto? There were stories of people having multiple positions. How do you do that?
The array is only reallocated when it runs out of space. There is no magic about the "old" array. The GC just won't collect it, as long as a pointer to it exists.

I don't think there are many reasons, if any at all, to keep a pointer to an array element of a slice around in Go. Usually I only get the address of an array element only when passing it to some C code or doing some low level manipulation, but then I don't keep the pointer around. In Go code you usually just keep the slice object - which contains the necessary pointer anyway.
Just an anecdote but I already knew about racertrash and I was not brought here by the creator
Fair enough. I'm gonna call that person a nazi, that should make a point that maybe they're a bit extreme.
I use pass (password-store). I haven't added any firefox plugin to manage that for me. So I always go back to the terminal for copy/pasting the details.
I had a similar experience. And it would have been simple to pay attention to tab traversal, field highlighting, key bindings, etc, to have made the new application more familiar and faster. Wasn't to be though.
At the very start of my career I was writings educational games and 6502 libraries for use in these games. Sadly, I believe most of it is lost.

I wish my games were pirated more often…
Yes, I managed to delete the "A" DNS record last night when I was adding records for mail hosting linklonk.com. Sorry! It is up now.

Does anyone more familiar with the matter know if:

- It includes mobile game

- It's actually enforced or just a guideline for parents

- What's the end goal here?

1.5 hours daily sounds very reasonable to me, but 3 hours weekly is so little it doesn't really strike me as reasonable. Although to be clear the state telling it's citizen how much video game time they get sounds very distopian to me.
Same for me using LastPass.

> Pyramid schemes only make sense if you’re remunerated in some way based on the number of people you directly and indirectly bring to the language.

But you are remunarated in a way. If your pet language become really popular, you don't have to choose between using it for less pay or not using it for more pay. That's either more pay or more happiness compared to the previous choice. There will also be more libraries, better tooling, better everything in general that will make you gain a lot of time.

Also, people that follow you will also be "trapped" in the language as they will have invested in it. If they want to make their investment better, one of the thing you can do it again, bring other people to the language.

Another thing is that if you're someone very important in a small language, and that language gets big, you become someone very important, period. Again, an incentive to bring people into it.

Contrary to what you may believe insurance does not cover solo sailing if you are further than x miles, let's say 50nm, off shore. Most sailing stories it's usually a we.
Yes, this is entirely correct.
Can the Fed raise interest rates significantly without bankrupting the Federal government?

The Federal debt needs to be rolled over every now and then. At certain interest rates, the costs of servicing the debt become unacceptably high. Where is that 'breaking point'? If you see some serious analysis of this, please let me know.

But there is a higher bound to which the Fed can feasibly raise interest rates. So it is possible that the Fed will be forced to choose between keeping rates low, keep buying Treasuries and destroy the dollar through runaway inflation, or raise interest rates and bankrupt the US government.
There are studies along this line:

There is a constant tension in product development between delivering value and creating reusable knowledge.

Creating reusable knowledge is not in itself wasteful, but neither will it in itself deliver value. (The reason we do it is because it makes value delivery more efficient in the future.)

Many people today will emphasise delivering value and sacrifice reusable knowledge. They will call it "wasteful" to create reusable knowledge, but it's not.

The trick is finding the right balance, of course.
I currently use an Synology DS116, a small and simple NAS which I mostly use to backup my Mac via Time Mashine but I can't even find if this is supported on such a machine. It seems it is an NAS but without the being called a NAS, e.g. I haven't found anything about SMB or SFTP support.

+1 for Onedrive. I pay usd6 I think for 1 TB with a valid Office365 license. That's a pretty sweet deal. Not a microsoft fan either, however this works well. Tight integration with Linux CLI tools, Android Onedrive app is excellent et cetera.
