In the case you are mugged, that USB key is going with the mugger. (see also police raids or airport "inspections" e.g., entering or leaving bad states) I prefer memorized keys, with, ideally, a duress passphrase for this reason.

But, hypothetical scenarios without reasonable threat modelling is a losing man's game. You can never one-up a mythical adversary. Protecting against the easy 80% of threats takes only 20% effort.
Then you’d have a different situation. The warehouses, trucks etc are the app store and iPhones. In order for that TV manufacturer to have their own, they’d have to build their own devices, OS and cloud services.
Surveillance Advertising: Good advertising doesn't have to follow you around
A lot of people claimed BlackBerry was finished in 2009, when it was still reporting record sales and profits.

Of course Apple is too big to disappear the way BB did. But a lot of what made Apple products unique is no longer there. Jobs pointed out how OEMs had little brand identity and consistency because of the sheer number of variations of each product.

Apple today sells 7 different models of iPhone and 5 different models of iPads. It's on its way.
Why on earth would anyone think deleting an email would make google remove the info they've gathered on you?
This is possible.

Epic has not started doing hardware, as far as I know. And they're "hot" on the metaverse, which has a strong opportunity for new hardware (AR, etc).

So that could be the future of Tim.
Nowadays half the web doesn't work without Javascript but sure.
Must be a new feature. My B450F did not.
I expect they mean bypass your networks DNS completely and use hard coded ip's or a hard coded DNS (with some way to obscure it).

DNS filtering and blocking is a very powerful tool great for bypassing many features/pitfalls of the internet.
"Select pictures containing excerpts of 0-day exploit code."
It is ridiculous and senseless, but not a popular view here since there are a lot of HN'ers whose salary depends on that rectangle being the OS instead of the user's actual OS. What's even more ridiculous is that we also now have software that you download and "install" onto the actual OS, but the software itself comes bundled with another copy of that rectangle plus all the machinery underneath it. Installing an OS on an OS for each application. We have gone mad.

OS vendors could have prevented this madness, but chose the path of deliberate incompatibility with each other, so we're left with the world as it is rather than as it should be.
How about this scenario: I vote on a comment on HN, my email client opens up with an email pre-filled by the "mailto:" link, and then I have to send it to cast my vote. What a great experience!
What would be the business case for this elaborate system?
You're right imo. The UK seems to have went through something similar.

The thing is, the factories, farms, power plants, equipment, knowhow don't go away.

If you have the people and can feed them, a developed country will do fine even if it defaults on its debts and the world hates them.

Contrast that with more conservative/isolationist countries that took the dumb advice not to take debt and build fast - they'll be stuck being poor or at best mediocre for a long time.

That's much of Eastern Europe imo.
Should companies eat their own dogfood? Uh, yeah.
The amount of groupthink, propaganda and "boiling the frog" hacks around communication control in US is getting absolutely insane.

Reddit is a great example. Its front page now reliably has some story where people cheer on deaths of conservatives from Covid or muse on how wonderful it would be to deny healthcare based on political views. With tens of thousands of upvotes and thousands agreeable comments. The likes of The Atlantic egg the whole thing on.

Where do you think this will lead in a few years?
Not exact. You'd need to look up what time they get to work, and what time they eat at, instead of looking what time it is there.

If you can get used to the offsets (sometimes changing because of DST), surely you can remember to offset the time at which they start their day?

Keep in mind this is already something that you need to take into account in some places: CET spans from spain to poland. Spanish lunch break starts at 2pm: https://www.spanish-town-guides.com/Opening_Hours.htm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_Time#Discrepa...

I'd support UTC everywhere. Context matters in any case, so it wouldn't necessarily make things easier for meetings, and you'd have to adjust to the fact that "noon" might be at "5pm" (17:00) UTC and midnight at 5am.

You sick bastard. Seriously, though, it's most cool that you came up with such a simple solution. Hat's off, and glad you got that pain under control.

I started using a keyboard heavily around 40 years ago and knew from carpal tunnel problems as a pianist that I'd have to be careful. My kids love to joke that my posture looks like it's from an ergonomics manual, but no carpal tunnel since 1982!

(I'm saying my approach is better than yours or would have helped, just empathizing because I would be super miserable if programming caused physical pain.)
Im not sure its an alternative yet, functionally it seems that it misses incremental parsing, live updates, interactive html and tui interfaces, graphs,...
> The massive real estate collapse in the 90s ended all that, and when I visited Chiba around 2000 for work the bit I went to was a drab business park.

I went to the famed Akihabra back in 2012. I'd been expecting, I guess, some super high tech futuristic place. Instead I wandered through rows and rows of street vendors selling what looked like bits of 1980s arcade games.
If you own your email domain, it takes all of fifteen minutes to move to something like Fastmail. You just switch the MX records, run a GMail import, and you're done. Plus, Fastmail's UI is much faster than GMail's.
I disconnected Internet to see if it would still generate the resume. It renders on client side so preview is fine but I can't download the resume.

I really loved the design but I don't want to keep resume on the site forever so I am afraid I will not be using this even though I really want to.
Is this a guess, wishful/hopeful thinking, or do you have receipts?
Lets take this further:

1. Plastic containers need to be manufactured from raw material, shipped to the packaging site, and recycled or disposed of after use. So there is that.

2. Increased shelf life of food products also have an induced demand behavior (similar to highway lanes) which might result in more overall food being shipped and spoiled then if the shelf life would have been shorter.

3. Increased shelf life allows food to be shipped further, which might sound like a good thing, but not if you factor in the same product is available from a closer source. This also encourages large scale mono-culture as local farms have a harder time competing against larger farms farther away.

So it is definitely not as simple as increased shelf life == better carbon footprint.
Do you think this would put us (the US) in a stronger strategic position going forward?

It seems like the music has to stop eventually for Chinese growth, especially since the differential between "real" GDP and reported GDP is likely larger than even this seems.

If they lean into US bonds, wouldn't that weaken their strategic position? I'm not sure they'd be willing to do so.
It's not clear to me that Facebook is acting unethically. They provide a communications platform, and communications platforms are always used unethically.

This is true of the telephone. Of the newspaper. Of text messages. Of telegram services. Of video chat. Of magazines. Of public meeting areas like park benches.

Every single one of these platforms have been used for human trafficking and other illegal behavior. It's ubiquitous, always has been, and always will be because the communications on a system are reflective of the humans using them.

The subjective question is whether Facebook puts enough effort into policing their platforms, and it's the exact same question posed (for example) to a city regarding the policing of solicitation in public parks. There will always be people unhappy with the level of enforcement in a common platform. It's reasonable to ask for more enforcement, but I cannot see a compelling argument that Facebook's communications platform is somehow less ethical than any other.
I don't know the timelines for these things, but how would this work if someone wanted to introduce a hypothetical USB-D? They'd just need to petition the EU once a new standard was adopted?
I think I fail to see the advantage in the example given. Is the point that there's a server side call attached to the UI component directly? How is this any different than what can already be done with old school full stack like Rails or even smaller libraries like Sinatra/Flask.
Amazon's order status emails ("Shipped", "Out for Delivery", etc.) used to show the items in the order and how much I paid for them. They stopped doing that[0] last year presumably because of evil behavior like this.

Opentrons Announces $200M Series C Round Led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2
How is the battery life on your 2016 MBP? Like I said in one of my other posts, my 2019's battery is already slowly degrading. I'm at ~300 charge cycles after ~2 years of moderate usage. Apple says the battery is "consumed" after 1000 cycles[1], so it seems my battery is already 30% consumed, which doesn't make me very hopeful for the longevity of this device.

I wish it was easier to find actual data on battery life of 2016+ MBP models. Googling for "how long does MacBook Pro battery last" yields mostly useless results. There's a macOS app called "Coconut Battery" that tracks battery health over time, with an optional reporting feature that uploads the data to a server for comparison purposes.[2] Unfortunately the online viewer only allows you to view data by each individual model. It might be more helpful to aggregate the data from all 2016+ models, since the battery is the same, afaik. The online viewer also doesn't show how many reports the averages are based on. I wonder if it would be possible to scrape their data, to produce an evidence-based answer to the question "how long will my MacBook probably last?", rather than relying mostly on anecdotal evidence from Mac users.

Anyway, I think the idea that a $1300-$6500+ laptop ships with a glued-in, non-replaceable component that Apple themselves admits is "consumable" is just absurd, regardless of how long it may last.

Similar-ish but the waste aspect isn't there: each car does not come with its own gas station and most people do not own multiple redundant gas stations already.
It’s bizarre to me how you can be so loyal to a corporation. What a weird way to inflict self-suffering.

This is not reinvention of PHP as some are commenting.
In fact I think this is extremely cool.

If I understand it correctly, it allows you to achieve reactive data flow in a single page app without any boilerplate.

Meaning - you update the database on the server and all the relevant UI(s) will automatically receive the updated data and re-render only the parts of the UI that display that data.

This would require a ton of PHP and Javascript dealing with networking, websockets, routing, serializing data and so on.

Haven't tried it yet, but very curious to see if it works.
Quite a few comments that are dishonest or didn't focus on what the author focused on, but rather on auxiliary things.

There are concrete similarities to PHP, which is effectively what this server/client macro setup gives you at a superficial level. However, from what I'm seeing, this will behave more like a LiveView or Hotwire, with the focus being on optimizing network requests in an automated manner.

My big question with the tool is this: if you're passing environments back and forth, how secure can this feasibly be? Is there an automated limit on what will be considered based on the generated code? How do you handle malicious environments?
Thanks for posting your comment, this is an important issue to me.

I would have thought, originally, that legalization would do a better job suppressing illegal grow operations than decriminalization. Decriminalization can create a murky semi-legal area where sanctioned, fully above board businesses can't enter the market, which might empower illegal operations to operate with greater impunity (and to be clear, the "illegal" thing I fear and despise isn't some small time grower with a few plants in a closet or small backyard greenhouse, it's the wildly environmentally destructive and violent organized crime you're describing here).

Maybe the problem is that legalization turned out to be so restrictive that a large scale illegal market has persisted. When you legalize, you really need to legalize. This, people have trouble with - like, would people tolerate cannabis at a farmer's market stall? That may be what it takes.

Another thing is that people see the legalization day to day, whereas the don't really see and experience the harm of what you describe on a regular basis.
The first time I heard about Gmail collecting your purchase history, I moved to Fastmail and I've been pretty happy.

Downside is Gmail search is a lot better than Fastmail's. But otherwise it's worked great.
They wouldn't have to store the data after the email was deleted if that was the only reason.
They definitely entered into that contract without duress.

But the majority of other neighborhoods are also run by HOAs with similar terms. There are a few neighborhoods that are completely free of HOAs that but those houses are not as nice and neighborhoods not as nice. If you want a nice house in a nice neighborhood, an HOA is your only option.

I'm positive some people, if they had the option, would prefer to buy their current house free of the HOA. Others, on the other hand, like that HOA protects their neighborhood and don't care that they can't paint their house a different color or buy TV's directly from manufacturers.

Sadly, the house and neighborhood you want determines whether or not you'll have to enter into that contract with a particular HOA.
Electron is an even worse aspect of what I described, I thought about adding a line about it but decided to stay on point. You create an entire system designed for web apps, then you create basically a site specific browser to render just one web app because users need a dedicated client. It's another step in the senseless direction.

This is an example of why I moved off Gmail to ProtonMail
This is just plain awesome
Ah, I suppose that makes sense then.
I would find it hypocritical if someone who worked at an alcohol producer joined MADD, or someone who worked at a candy company joining a PAC that supports soda bans.

But no, they don't need to consume the product daily.
You missed the opening:

The Lockheed Martin SR-72, also known as the “Son of Blackbird,” is a hypersonic unmanned aerial vehicle

btw, the Blackbirds are in lots of museums. I've visited one in Tucson and another in Seattle.
There wasn't much notice and it caused me a lot of work.

It seems they'll have to reinstate it this year because of the ongoing energy crisis and it is going to cause a ton of work again.

I like DST, but I don't care enough to protest its abolishment. What I do care about is having these changes done with so little notice.
Same. I even have wireguard set up on my phone so my phone's internet connection is pihole-enabled wherever I am
If you don't need 4k 60fps max settings, a used R9 290 is reasonably priced.
Tour of my new 12 MILLION!!!!! dollar house.
Do you guys store information on backend and if you do, how long?
Do alcohol makers try their own products to ensure consistency day-to-day? I would hope so. I would certainly hope candymakers do too. Those are particularly bad examples.
You still need to know the same tz offset as before. I’m not seeing the difference.
Not really the same. The implied agreement when you visit an ad based site is that you get the ads. Otherwise if no one got them, the site could not exist. It’s a form of payment for what the site provides to you, not the product itself.
What if we put a DOM API into php with a few state hooks? Does that solve it? Because the GP is right, this is PHP.
Anyhow, I referenced Linux as an example of a free OS since I mentioned all Apple products and MS (ie. Windows) as examples of non-free platforms.

And Fortnite does run on Android.
I remember when Google Mail launched on April Fool's Day in 2004. I thought the 1GB of storage for email was a prank because it was a huge amount to offer for free.

I made an account just to try it out but then I saw all the advertisements it added. Seeing ads based on the content of my email was really creepy. I stopped using Gmail and now I pay Fastmail for my email. It seems worth it to me.
What does AML have to do with what I buy online?
To expand on the snarky response, or explain my thinking...

I think more and more the lines are blurred between open source projects, and products. This is good and bad.

It's good because people making money out of open source projects probably means more open source projects, more support available, and a healthier tech industry.

It's bad because as someone with no intention of turning a few open source libraries into a full time job, there's still an expectation of a certain level of polish to them that makes more sense for products. Open source projects with clever names, logos, mission statements, a domain name and marketing site/landing page, marketing copy, flashy documentation, a live preview environment, etc. These are all a lot of work for an open source project, but the stakes are raised to this level by the productised open source projects that can afford to fund this sort of thing.
This is such a dumb hill to die on.
Ah, so it is. Thanks!
The charger probably costs about $1 to the BoM. I wouldn’t expect to see any change.

But this is not the biggest thing which is that the parts of the iPhone do not determine the price. The price is already set and determines what parts go in. If something somewhere else becomes cheaper, that’s more room in the budget to spend elsewhere whether that be better hardware, hiring more software developers, higher skilled retail workers, etc.

In the end it’s up to the user to decide if what’s in the box provides enough value to justify the price. And from the sales data of the last year, that’s an astounding yes.
It wasn't loyalty to the corporation, it was empathy with the users.
I can only say I really, really hope this substantially slows down the introduction of new ports and connectors. USB-C is a n overly complicated clusterfuck, but it'll do for the vast majority of applications for a very long time.
Yeah, and GMail might lose a few hundred users!

You could say the same about Mumbai and Shanghai...
What would motivate Google to delete this data? The transaction shown in the screenshot is from 8 years ago.
Known reserves, not reserves. (https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2021/mcs2021-cobalt.pdf).

Same known reserves were 4.5M tons in 2000. (https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prd-wret/assets/palladium...).

Despite all the extraction that happened during those 20 years, we now have more known reserves than before, because unsurprisingly, the more you look for something, the more of it you find.

> When you delete data in your Google account, we immediately start the process of removing it from the product and our systems. First, we aim to immediately remove it from view and the data may no longer be used to personalize your Google experience. For example, if you delete a video you watched from your My Activity dashboard, YouTube will immediately stop showing your watch progress for that video.

> We then begin a process designed to safely and completely delete the data from our storage systems. Safe deletion is important to protect our users and customers from accidental data loss. Complete deletion of data from our servers is equally important for users’ peace of mind. This process generally takes around 2 months from the time of deletion. This often includes up to a month-long recovery period in case the data was removed unintentionally.

> Each Google storage system from which data gets deleted has its own detailed process for safe and complete deletion. This might involve repeated passes through the system to confirm all data has been deleted, or brief delays to allow for recovery from mistakes. As a result, deletion could sometimes take longer when extra time is needed to safely and completely delete the data.

> Our services also use encrypted backup storage as another layer of protection to help recover from potential disasters. Data can remain on these systems for up to 6 months.
Very much this. I am a happy Migadu user today. Works on any IMAP-compatible app. I have a domain for myself, and one for my parents. I want to move my extended family to a custom domain. It's even possible for them to create a new Google account with that custom domain for all Google things besides Gmail, yet I imagine a lot of push back to this idea.
Perhaps true, but not the main topic of this post. C and C++ are at the foundation of a great deal of software, and that creates a lot of pressure for stability. This is blocking evolution of both languages. Stability is great, but stagnation (sooner or later) will get you.

I'll be very curious to hear how they justify their answers from last time they testified, in light of new info painting those answers as lies.
Yeah, inadequate cooling caused the BGA to pop free, with the recall "fix" being to just add some rubber to smash it down. iirc Apple tried to blame Nvidia for it and Nvidia didn't take it, blaming instead Apple's design.

Since then Apple has repeatedly had inadequate cooling and power delivery issues, just typically resulting in throttling instead of recalls. Sooo Nvidia was probably accurate and it was Apple's fault. But regardless of whose fault it was, the end result is consumers were stuck with some truly second-tier GPUs for many years
I used to work on sports gambling apps and yet I never once gambled using the real production app. Because I saw the data. And behind those data points are real people having their lives ruined by some growth hackers and psychologist PMs trying to increase session length. I know how the sausage is made. I practically have the gambling addiction hotline number memorized because it was required to be on every screen.
> My understanding is the Tractatus was meant to "end philosophy" by implying that most of philosophy arises from the confusion between these grammatical artifacts and reality.

Apologies in advance as I haven't read any Wittgenstein myself, but am I wrong in thinking this is what the Philosophical Investigations was about (as opposed to the Tractatus)?
I agree, that's why I left the hill still alive. :)
