I admit the distinction got me at first as it is quite a subtle one but the point made by the parent commenter is valid.
Europe is currently facing electricity and chip shortages. Banning crypto in the EU would be an acceptable measure for addressing that.
I'd say commenting on Hackernews isn't building something, let alone something useful. So that's at least one thing you do that's not that.
I should have said it's a representative aristocracy for the shareholders, as when you do get a vote, your vote is obviously weighted by how many shares you have and not equally. However, whether you have 1 share or 100,000 shares of public company X, your day to day involvement is still essentially equal at 0 unless you are an executive or on the board.
El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender is pure folly
I find this feature(tm) infuriating. It's one of the first things I disable when I format the laptop.

The battery drain for me much more significant, on the order of 30% per day. Oftentimes I would open my laptop after a day or two and it would be at a critical level if not outright dead.

I kept forgetting exactly how to fix it, since finding the right sites online required quite the exact combination of black magic keywords (since it's much easier to find articles sleep vs hibernation). Until today, actually, I had not been aware of the term "modern suspend".

I use Linux, so here's how to disable modern suspend: https://devnull.land/laptop-s2idle-to-deep

Your spotify comparison does not really match perfectly. Playing for yourself (license permitted) vs playing for the public (license not permitted) is keeping the same content source but changing the end user.

With the photo, you are a single user browsing the photo on either website A or website B. Website A “owns” the photo, and website B has embedded it, but in both cases you are getting the photo from website A.

Since you are the same user both times, and are getting the photo from the same place both times, at first glance I would regard this as not breaking any license terms since the two parties (image host, end user) are the same, but I can accept that this is a point of contention.
What investors are looking for in a startup
Non-uniform non-platform-widget based rendering of applications is not something I would call state-of-the-art. The overton window has only shifted to that recently. I would claim that a small statically linked executable displaying a native window containing native widgets is state-of-the-art, and would blow everything ever created in webland out of the water instantly in terms of resource usage and performance.

Since you named it explicitly - why would my application want a web inspector or CSS layouting overhead if the goal is to display a small batch of controls? This is exactly the mindset I meant when I wrote my post.
They're just using plain text a lot & very watered down language.
So don't use it duh
The Institute for Justice has a similar/related set of objectives: https://ij.org/
> why would any platform exist then?

If your users are unwilling to pay for the service, then perhaps the value it provides is zero and it shouldn't exist.
But isn't the issue that it is people going into computer programming who are struggling with the concept - not just casual users, for whom it really doesn't matter that much if they don't know how to navigate a folder structure.

To extend the plumbing metaphor: it's as if no one on the plumbing course got the concept that taps had to be attached to water pipes and then wondered why they didn't work.
Business are legally required to accept cash. I pay cash all the time at gas stations or for small amounts (< $20).

> As a parting thought, some of the happiest people I know work a 9-5 job that gives them a reasonable living standard, and have rich and vibrant personal and social lives outside work.

This is the secret. Don’t work in your passion; find a specialization that you don’t hate but also don’t love and set reasonable boundaries on work. If it’s not something you’re passionate about, you will respect those boundaries and the drudgery becomes bearable.

I absolutely love tech and tinkering on code. So much so that I had to stop doing it and actually lean into the managerial battles described in the article. Turns out I’m pretty good at that job, and I like working with people all day, but it’s a career rather than a calling. I also don’t feel compelled to keep pushing to finish a problem and come up for air to see it’s 9pm.
> I can easily imagine that chinese companies now want to export their tech, including surveillance tech

And I wouldn’t stop there. Why wouldn’t China want to profit from the surveillance of others as well? It would give them an edge, at least ostensibly, and a way to keep spreading their tentacles and to displace the American empire.

You got downvoted but this is correct. For a long time iOS didn't allow you to perform big downloads (apps, updates, etc) from the device if you were on mobile data because they didn't want to upset the carriers. But I believe those days are over.
This is about the 19th time they do this since I follow the crypt news.
Its irrelevant, the people there are under the control of he CCP and no crypt could help them escape.
Scientific publication is broken but honestly I doubt that’s the reason science itself is broken. Before the advent of the internet you had access to the journals in your library and pretty much that’s it. If you wanted any other reference you had to do an ILL. Or write to the authors and wait for months. People obviously did great amazing science, much better than what’s being done today.

I used to live in a third world country where access to articles was abysmal (pre scihub) and honestly that was like the 10th biggest problem I had with doing good science. If you’re smart and you want to learn something you will find a way. Money is not the same thing, and neither are ideas. You can’t just will your way to those things.

Again, I am happy scihub exists and support it fully, but that’s honestly not solving the real problem with science.

China deems all cryptocurrency transactions illegal
That’s not exactly how it works.
Apparently it never gets old.
It's ok to not like crypto but how about sticking to the truth?
* There's many things much more volatile than crypto, the biggest markets being vix if you're a hedgefund and pretty much all derivates like options if you're a gambling man. btc in particular is only 2x from many traditional markets: https://charts.woobull.com/bitcoin-volatility-vs-other-asset...
* The second part of only 5% making a profit is made up and makes no sense. There's not a lot of days since it's inception where you could buy and hold some btc and it wouldn't be more worth later on. Sure if you fomo at a local top and panic sell the bottom you can get burned but it's an easy trade my guess would be more like 80% but like your number it's also just made up.
* Energy consumption you need to put it into relation of comparable resources, of course if you're determined it's worthless it's hard to justify any cost even if it's minor in comparison but that's a personal opinion of yours and many disagree.
It wouldn’t even surprise me if China runs this as a pump and dump scam.

I had to bust out the PowerShell console on my windows machine to manipulate its wake sources to block it from waking on LAN since something would wake it within 10 minutes after sleep every time.

I can't imagine how infuriating that would be if it were a laptop and that behavior was running down the battery and heating it up.
Very interesting...

I kinda knew this since I think the feature you described is also available through Alexa/Echo, but I never really took the time to think about what was going on behind the scenes.

However, I'm still struggling to understand what is going on in your example.

When you control Spotify from your phone (volume++, next, new song, etc), how does Google Home know to do something?

When you tell Google Home "google play never gonna give you up", how does the Spotify app on your phone know how to reflect what's playing on the Spotify app?

Technically I can imagine that there is a shadow state of your Spotify instance sitting out in the cloud somewhere, but what are the mechanisms that make all this work together? Is this part of the "cast" protocol/architecture? Is this Spotify specific IP/tech that they can push on Google and Alexa to include on their IOT/smart services since they have the clout and pull?

Do you have any good links (not too technical, not too lite) on how this works?
Absolutely fair, from Dell's POV.

The fault lies with Microsoft, mismanaging the user expectations about shutting down the computer.

The computer should absolutely not wake up from sleep to do things, if the result could be that it overheats. It's like saying people shouldn't pocket their smartphones.
Credit Repair
Hello friends , i know a lot of you on here must be finding it hard to get your credit fixed or maybe ripped off on several occasions by all these false credit specialists , well i was in the same situation years back but when i came across DOOMHACKS@BK.RU the story changed , they are the best when it comes to any hacking and credit related jobs .. they got my credit right and boosted my score in all bureaus .. give them that chance to get yours fixed as well +1 812 509 3064
This.

In my case, I use SecureBoot to check the boot image's signature (contains the kernel + initrd + boot params). Then it starts everything from an LVM that lives on top of LUKS. I always have to type in the password (never bothered to get the TPM working), but I don't see why the TPM wouldn't be able to do it.

From the system boot point of view, it just starts an OS. The OS will then proceed to load some data in RAM. It's its business whether this is "fresh" data for a new boot, or "old" data from the last boot.
I'm not sure what you mean by "mechanical brakes". The brakes on a Tesla are normal hydraulic car brakes that do exactly that. They work even without power (more force required, of course). But just like in many modern cars, there is no separate manual parking brake.
There are many, but the best are smaller for now. Many feel a bit more akin to the early web, on purpose.

> Chrome freezes and/or crashes. Note: this is even worse if the URL was opened from an intent. In that case, Chrome can end up completely bricked because upon restart it will immediately attempt to re-open the URL that crashed it. I could not recover from this without having to fully "Clear Storage".

You’re telling me Chrome does not have that feature where after a few failed attempts, the browser offers you to not open the websites from the previous session? Firefox has that.
From a philosophical point of view, the difference isn't as big as you might think. After all, "convicted of a crime" is arbitrarily defined by the ruling party. And the US is no champion of a morally correct implementation.
If the specific change is a 10-hour rewrite that's self-evidently better than the old code, you absolutely can beg for forgiveness once you've written it, since you don't have to merge or deploy it anywhere. You're going to quit anyway, so who cares whether your boss tells you off for spending a day or two attempting to solve a legitimate business problem?
"Cannot" this is not true. It might not satisfy some sort of branding requirement but at the end of the day all a secure boot implementation does under the hood is to verify the kernel against the signing keys stored in the firmware before handing off control to it. The kernel can do whatever it pleases after that including granting you root access, joining a botnet, or, indeed, loading a hibernation image.

As for security, the hibernation image is at risk unless you use full disk encryption. But then (last time I checked) so is the typical Linux distro because ultimately you (the end user) have complete control over the OS. That means that at some point the kernel has to load and run privileged code that was never signed by some central authority. The only alternative to this would be sending all drivers to be signed by someone else, even those you built yourself from source.

tl;dr You can in fact use hibernation if you set it up, even with secure boot. Doing so is not a security issue. Lack of full disk encryption is always a security issue if physical access is an attack vector you are concerned about.
How to get the free Windows 11 upgrade early
[Microsoft employee here, speaking for myself]

>> I don't think azure-docs repo is the right place to ask for help/suggestions
This is correct -- The azure docs repo feedback mechanism (using GitHub issues) is primarily for providing feedback on the documentation itself. We try to make this clear via the buttons on the bottom of the page; one is for 'Product Feedback' and the other is for 'Feedback about this page'. I would agree that the distinctions can be blurry, but I see the three categories as:
- Product Support: I need help with a product
- Product Feedback: Product A is missing feature B, and I want you to add it
- Documentation Feedback: The documentation is unclear, has a typo, or the example provided no longer works

For Product support, your best bet is to go through the standard support channel. I'm sorry that you didn't get a better response when you tried contacting support. Do you have paid support? If you're a large customer, you may get a dedicated customer support account manager.
Additionally, there are community forums including https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/topics/azure-contai... and https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-compute/bd-p/Co... , which can also be used to submit product feedback.
Right, surveillance needs to go both ways. The watchers need to be watched.
This is a perfect example of why competition needs to exist in tech, even when products seem to exist in harmony.

I know this is contentious, but IMO this has been the strongest evidence thus far that we need regulation or antitrust to break up companies that own a platform and also compete on said platform.

Side note, I don't tend to view Facebook as some inherently evil corporation as many commenters seem to. I hope that by eliminating certain unsavory practices (like predatory tracking), Facebooks interests will better align with its users interests, and we will see a better Facebook for it in the future.
I think this has to do with chance. They had a very low excess mortality, better than many other countries. Excess mortalitiy is also influenced by different reporting standards but in many cases far more reliable than number of infected and death by Covid.

So yes, it probably worked quite well.

Although New Zealand and Australia also did very well, they have even fewer death compared to previous years. But overall the effectiveness of lockdowns should be put under the scope since an ineffective meassure that poses existential problems for many industries should be considerable at least.
Ageing the unageable: Researchers develop new way to age lobsters
The article mentions a 5% solar efficiency, it is my understanding that the current most efficient PV panels are around 22% solar efficient. So I would think You may be correct.

It would be nice if they compared PV panel powered electrolysis hydrogen generation against this new tech.
I've never used this az tool that is being complained about in all the years I've used Azure. The Azure powershell cmdlets are ever-changing and sometimes frustrating , but theyre certainly not bloated to the tune of a 1 GB download.
> The point is we shouldn't need to convert a string to an array

Yes we should. Unicode strings have ambiguous lengths. I would encourage you to try slicing Unicode strings sometime to understand why this is true.

Consider the black Santa emoji. What is the length of that emoji? Backspacing an emoji deletes it, so it could be one. But then how would you substring slice out the skin color component of the emoji?

Converting a string to an array yields the symbols on the screen separated by the cursor position, but that’s not a true representation of the data.
From the article:

> Lobsters are notoriously difficult to age. Nobody knows exactly how old they can get, and some experts have estimated they could live on the ocean floor for as long as a century or more.
Probably "big b". 3 Gb/s (small b) is approximately 350 MB/s (big b).

My 9-year-old SATA SSD does better than that.
Here in the UK the phones themselves were "free" in as much as anything ever is. The cost was included as rental in your service agreement.

The problem for Google was that the web was largely free even when they started. To have launched a paid for service would never have worked even if they wanted it to.
Instead of downvoting I decided to write this comment.

I don't agree with the sentiment of the parent either, but:

* Assume the best interpretation of a comment [1].

* Keep it on topic

* Don't attack the person, also not implicitly (e.g. "please educate yourself", don't say that)

Reread: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

One can claim many things about the parent comment. But it's all directed to the topic at hand.

Cheers!

[1] The best interpretation I can come up with is: yes the energy issue with crypto/bitcoin are an actual problem to solve. Yes, using crypto might be a good use-case in certain situations. While I don't believe the profit claim (there's no source), I can't disprove it either. So it poses an interesting question as to whether that's true.
This makes one question whether there really are any security vulnerabilities at all. Perhaps Apple isn’t fixing these because there’s nothing to fix? I don’t know enough to say whether these vulnerabilities are real or not.
That's right, but those who are invested in crypto really want everyone to invest too.
Do you mean end user as someone other than the buyer of a cloud service? That’s the context I was writing in - I’ve generally found things like https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/10/achieve-u... to be accurate as long as you’re not radically switching instance types.
In my opinion, highly biased - Lazarus/lcl, wxwidgets, Qt, imgui, in no particular order.
But what about the workers. It's likely that those working at the bot farms aren't wealthy, and that they're from less wealthy countries. So this is good, addressing the immediate problem of energy waste, but doesn't address the underlying problem of wealth inequality that - in general - drives people to work on systems to rip others off.

Those who run the bot farms will find other scummy work, and no end of desperate workers.
If you create a swap partition manually during installation and there's no secure boot, Fedora will put the "resume=" parameter into your grub config automatically.
It's clear the Chinese are trying to undermine the EU by introducing these kinds of systems in a aspiring EU member state.

BTW the EU isn't directly against such systems. There's always the loophole that it CAN be used in the fight against "crime" (especially child porn, the new witchcraft).
That sounds like it's almost a case of the students not trusting that the ideas the teachers are explaining will be important.

Maybe this is extrapolating too far, but I wonder if something has happened in technology that has led to a new generation rejecting the knowledge of the previous generation because they're so often out of date on other trends or habits.
Or banning useless iot devices in cars fridges and toasters would be an even more acceptable measure.

BTW the chip shortage has nothing todo with mining, but if you believe that lie Nvidia and AMD tells you since 5 years...well then that's to bad.
‘ contains some mystery costs not linked to anything’

Hard to believe that really is the case for a product targeting serious customers in 2021. Doesn’t that make a surprise bill still possible?
Availability Sets decrease availability, because they force "all or nothing" deallocate-reallocate cycles instead of one-at-a-time changes.

You can't move a VM to a different subscription without also moving the entire vNet along with it. (I bet this worked great in the developer's lab with one test VM.)

You can't move a VM to a different backup resource without deleting all backups, going back years.

VMs can't be rolled back to VM snapshots.

ExpressRoute bandwidth can be increased non-disruptively, but the only way to decrease it is to recreate it -- incurring a ~30 minute outage.

The Activity Log (and most other audit logs) don't log the identity of the administrator that triggered the action about 10-50% of the time, depending on what kind of activities are going on. This makes it 100% useless as an audit log. There is no other way to obtain audits.

Most network resources are Zone Redundant, except for NAT Gateway, which is now required in some scenarios. It's Zonal only, which means you need 3 subnets, one for each zone.

Upgrading an internal load balancer from Basic to Standard cuts off Internet access, for "reasons". I'm told these are "security reasons". Uh-huh...

App Gateway doesn't use a "user-agent" header for its monitors, which makes it incompatible with a surprisingly wide range of CotS software. This includes a bunch of Microsoft Software.

I could go on and on...

It is a mix between Sheets and Notion.

From Notion side webhooks could help, getting notified when a page in a database changed so we can update Sheets right on time. If that notification tells which properties changed even better. Moreover that will let us offer real time updates.

From Sheets side, I have tried with the different triggers that Apps Script provides and they are not 100% reliable in how they get executed and the parameters you get. There are some bugs opened in Google issue tracker waiting to be fixed that should address some of the problems, but I don't have a lot of hope as they have been opened for years.
