How Mushroom Time-Lapses Are Filmed
You're welcome to disagree, but what you're saying is pretty subjective. Self-editing is not "navel-gazing" if you do it right.

> but also not very actionable until you make your audience specific

He posted it to HN himself. Do I really need to be more specific?
Incidentally, similar arguments are going to play out around trying to sue oil & gas companies for climate change (and will probably use the same public nuisance statutes). The o&g companies lobby against emissions standards / carbon regulations, but ultimately selling oil and gas is legal, and it's the job of the government to regulate, so there isn't a simple legal doctrine to say "hey, you guys bought off a bunch of politicians and thus are still liable for damages".
> Unchecked corporate power is a phenomenal national liability.

I'm sure there are other dynamics at play but Xi has probably started seeing the same thing in China, hence the recent crackdown on said corporate power.
Honest question. We're knocking over a lot of drug laws: MJ, mushrooms... I'm assuming there's a group that's pushing for legalization of everything under the sun. I mean, is there something in Opiods that is like 10 times worse or something?
I'm sure there were others, but it does seem that the products from the sacklers were the main ones responsible.
What about a MS Surface? Do they pull this stuff too? I was under the impression they were decent.
Recall that Blue Origin patented landing rockets on sea platforms: https://www.geekwire.com/2015/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-dealt-s...

After various legal proceedings, that patent was invalidated.

I don't know anything about what you did or what your level is, but a few things to consider:

- While what you did sounds like good work and beneficial to the company / team, was it something that exceeded expectations or just a good job but expected?

- How many other engineers can do what you did? i.e. was what you did special / unique in some way?

- Did what you accomplished demonstrate abilities at the next level? A very good L5 that exceeds expectations may or may not be at the L6 level.

Especially at the more senior levels, a promotion isn't typically just about doing your current job well. The next level some times involves a slightly different skillset.

Again I know know anything about what you did or if you "deserve" a promotion, but some things to consider.
No, I’m saying you’re in the wrong thread to be complaining about pre-existing biometric authentication (Face/Touch ID), being used to verify ID usage on the same phone.

I also think you misunderstand how biometric models on phones/laptops work.

It's been the case since time immemorial.

Has there ever been a time where that wasn't the case? Maybe for a very brief period during the past ten years due to social media.

The no new normal folk are free to build their own platform and govern it as they like. Reddit is making a business decision not a moral one. These people are creating too much heat.
Reddit is private message board run by a for-profit business. It's no more "the public square" than Fox News is.

There have been many startups lately that are explicitly allowing this type of content, and the users of that subreddit are free to migrate there.
I think your list is a "murder, arson and jaywalking"[0] kind of list. Ansible playbooks and Docker images are very, very simple compared to building Kubernetes or hardware racks (both of which can be very, very hard).

My Ansible playbooks are barely a step up from shell scripts, my Docker images are basically always whatever each project supplies themselves (and don't run on top of Kubernetes), and my infrastructure consists of a grand total of one Raspberry Pi and an 8-port switch.

These things don't have to be overcomplicated if one doesn't want to overcomplicate them. Docker and Ansible lead to real time savings, both because they document the exact software setup and because they make replicating it very easy when switching servers (as inevitably happens in a hodge-podge home lab).

Some screens use DC dimming. It isn't an issue for most people, but post-concussion I've had to be pickier about screens. The HP gave me a headache with the 200Hz PWM. The Legion lets me use brightness levels other than 100% without a headache!
So, just give up all our privacy?

Diplomatic immunity is intended to prevent the host country (the UK) from subjecting diplomats to unreasonable detention, imprisonment etc, or to protect them from work done as part of their job (the host country might consider it spying).

Responsible countries either waive the diplomatic immunity, or prosecute the offender in their own courts. The USA has done neither.

In 2002, a Colombian diplomat had his immunity waived, allowing the UK to prosecute him for manslaughter. [1]

Its mostly a Musk trying to do things and Bezos trying to stop him. A war would consider them attacking each other.

I have not seen a single lawsuit or complaint filed by SpaceX against BlueOrigin or Amazon.

> a lot of folks staying out of labour market in their crucial years

I think companies will live if people take a little longer to enter the workforce. If the tradeoff is a more educated populace and people spending less of their life toiling away vs. corporate profits maybe having a tiny decline then it's definitely worth it.

SpaceShipTwo (and SpaceShipOne) are fascinating to me because they're so _not_ general purpose vehicles, yet are sold and in most cases perceived as such.

SS1 was conceived by one of the most creative designers in aviation as a point solution for the X-Prize contest - the minimal design/implementation to precisely solve that problem in the most cost effective way possible (as detailed in "Test Gods").

This cobbled together, even borderline, solution was reimplemented as a revenue producing, passenger joyride vehicle, without a lot of (apparent) deep understanding of the real problem and the quirks of their existing "solution".

Pretty much, SS2 is Branson and droogs saying, "SS1 is great, just blow it up and start printing money".
The Microsoft of the 2020s is a very different company from the Microsoft of the 1990s.

It is, but in a discussion about forced updates and overtly user-hostile changes, I'll take the Microsoft of the 1990s please.

I do get being upset about apparent disconnects in criminal justice proportionality; I really do. And the US legal system is brimming with them, even before you get other problems.

But I rather suspect campaigning to reduce the penalties for lasering aircraft is a doomed effort.

Not sure why you’re comparing version control to a GUI - my experience at FAANG has been quite positive on the usage of licensed tools like Docker Desktop.
We agree that the amount of loans roughly matches the amount of deposits. Lots of people (like beambot I believe) think there are 10x more money lent out than deposits.

In the words of Neil Postman "What problem is this technology trying to solve??"

I just don't get it. How much easier do you need it to be than to hand someone an ID card?

The trade offs being made here for the ever slightest convenience make absolute no sense to me.

It is this weird technological addiction to novelty even when there is basically no value or even difference. The only gain is that it is new and novel.
Its easy to criticize the Sackler settlement, but I have yet to hear anyone criticize the US Government that received nearly $4bln in taxes (profit) from the $10Bln their enterprise earned.

How come the US Govt's $4bln "take" is not considered ill-gotten gain, particularly given it was the US FDA (Woodcock, in her prior role at agency) that essentially sanctioned rampant opioid prescriptions?
An argument from 2008 was that as the CEOs and bankers were careful, no one had actually broken any laws and so no one (important) went to jail.

I agreed with the Bank Of England governer that this presented a huge moral hazard.

A similar moral hazard is seen here. Maybe no laws were broken. But the moral hazard argument suggests laws similar to those that targeted Robber barons (ie tax on those with incomes over 5 billion dollars)
Pretty straightforward compared to cannabis and mushrooms:

1. 10X-100X more addictive

2. Infinite more likelihood of death from over consumption.

> I'm not aware of any financial aid package (outside of maybe some private loans?) that you can apply for with the intent of using that money for car repairs and have it not be fraud.

When I was in undergrad (granted, 20+ years ago) part of my aid was a couple thousand a year in direct cash payments to me. There were no restrictions whatsoever on this money.

I think people who have night sky views pure enough for satellites to become a nuisance is probably in the global minority. One might even call it a privileged pov, given that most rural inhabitants of this planet struggle for basic network connectivity needed for their livelihood and the education of their children. I respect your sentiment, though - ultimately, the question is not whether we should do it; it’s who’s gonna stop us.
It’s good for the world that random HNers don’t get to decide what other people/companies should do to please them.

No, I was trying to make the point that the concerns are not theoretical, they are already occurring.
This is counter to the narrative.

I did the same for my 15 year old account and added reddit to my DNS blacklist. It's as close to voting with my dollar (data?) as I can muster at this point.
This is really nice and relatively cheap, thanks!

How much time did it take to assemble, not including the base?

How did you isolate it?
There is a simple solution to this - fire up the guillotines. There are more of us than there are of their security guards.
this is the umpteenth example of why we need to shred the corporate veil. it doesn’t actually fuel innovation as it purports to do, but rather promotes a slippery slope of bad behavior by owners and executives (at the expense of customers, employees, and society at large). like many bad regulations, it’s a distortion of the risk profile for a given endeavor, which leads directly to negatively externalized, but rarely unintended, consequences.

all the sackler billions should be clawed back and commensurately redistributed to literally everyone else.
Maybe that's the reason for the deletion.
I disagree. I'm intrigued by this technique as it forces you to engage with the material while also prioritizing information, something I've always struggled with. I'm excited to give it a spin.

How would your response be, if someone close to you, would have been killed in a airplane crash, because the pilot was blinded by some idiot?

A slap on the wrist for him, because shit happens?
I don't think so.

I mean this scenario has not happened yet, as far as I know, but eventually it will, if idiots keep doing it.

It is an assault, that can lead to injury or death. It is not a prank. It is a crime and deserves to be treated as one.

Now the sadly amusing aspect of all this is that I only noticed the https issue in the first place, because I'd previously cloned some repos on the machine using it.

Then some time later when doing a fetch, I received a TLS nego rejection complaint. Github had turned off support or earlier versions TLS, and the machine in question did not implement the later version. (I believe this was on an old macOS version).

So as a workaround, I altered the refspec in the git config file to switch to using the raw git protocol.

i.e. their earlier 'improve security' measure drove me to switch to the 'improved' unencrypted git protocol.

:-)
Perhaps a different language is better for that problem?

Parallel disk operations may thrash things a bit, worth investigating.

Anecdotally, I installed privacy redirect but had to uninstall it because every other time I got redirected to an instance that was broken or had exhausted its API limits for the day. I realize this is at least partially Twitter's fault, but sadly the UX is horrible.
Well, the Sacklers get off free. I was hoping that something like actual justice would come of this, but I guess I was hoping for too much.

That said, i don't think padding oracles are usually available in the context of an encrypted backup, so that particular concern is probably not a big concern in OP's usecase.
Here is the actual ex parte filing: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Amazo...

It is quite short and basically alleges SpaceX failed to fulfill various requirements when filing its amendment. Mainly, it alleges SpaceX submitted two different configuration options and the Commission's rules require them to settle on a single configuration option to submit.

Are those legitimate allegations? I have no idea. I'm not an expert on FCC amendment rules, and I doubt many here are either. But it seems kind of misleading to call that "because it can't compete" when the filing says something completely different.

TSMC ask suppliers to cut price by 15% in 2022
I've had no issues doing a bit of pandemic travel around the US and Latin America. It's important to pick your targets wisely, and Europe is not a wise target at this juncture.

And contrary to what you're saying, I've gotten some awesome travel deals during the pandemic. I had many months of AirBnBs for 20-30% less than the normal rate.
1) The ISS is a pile of junk with very few science papers in the past 20 years. (That's why NASA's PR sheets always co-mingle science and education program stats - because of the paucity of science results.)

2) The CCP is our mortal enemy. Whereas Russia had ideological differences with us, they were too poor to engage in behavior on the scale of the CCP against the US.

When you see photos of Chinese military parades, all those weapons are pointed at the US or our aircraft carriers.

How successful is the CCP? Not only have they bought Biden and his son, Biden's White House Chief of Staff is a CCP lobbyist. (The former US Transportation Secretary was either CCP or a CCP agent. She resigned before an investigation was started and the DoJ dropped it.)
It's good to have data. "I'm unproductive" vs "I choose to spend my time doing X".
It's a lot easier to be more productive by "watching 15 minutes less of tv" when you know you watching 3 hours a night.

Pomodoro isn't a productivity system. It's "I'm going to focus for ~15 minutes", and that's much easier to do than "spend 8 hours working".
It is insane to me that someone can get up to 5 years or more for using one of the fundamental mechanisms of digital technology. If you put out a product on a medium whose design is fundamentally based on copying bits, I don't know how you can expect anything else to happen. Instead of accepting the reality of digital communications, the MPAA, RIAA, and the like lobby to have the law protect their outdated but favorable business model instead.

I will never buy the idea that once they have sold a digital product, the seller somehow maintains a claim on its existence. Doubleday doesn't own the pages of the books they sell me. Lionsgate doesn't own the the bits that make up the DVDs they sell me either, even if that fact is rather detrimental to their bottom line.
Sorry but what is digital TV? Cable?
Worse: this is like walking into a wood shop and claiming that you can just buy this at the IKEA, when the maker of this piece of furniture knows for a fact that IKEA doesn't carry anything remotely similar and will not do so for a long time.
Almost want to give it a try now
I heard/read this one recently:

"Perfection is a child's fantasy."
Sure it's nice for the average joe soap not turning their machine into a botnet node

It is, but we should really stop tolerating that as an argument for mandatory updates. Enabling security updates by default on Windows editions not intended to be professionally managed would be sufficient to achieve most or all of the same benefits without imposing the much-criticised costs to users. The same argument holds for other tech that wants to force changes in behaviour and/or phone-home behaviour on its buyer/owner/user once the purchase is completed, including almost any device associated with the word "smart".
The argument against this is that when the Sackler family realized that this was all going to go south they started sucking all of the profit out of Perdu Pharma (over 10 Billion dollars shortly before it declared bankruptcy).

So is it Ok to suck out money and leave the responsibility behind? Is that what limited liability is there for?

I am all for limited liability protecting you from ordinary business failure (allowing people to take some risks). But this goes far beyond that.
Is there any significant performance gain for smaller matrices, such as 3x3 or 4x4? Video game engines do a lot of these
