Almost certainly China, the article seems to allude to Huawei tech being used.

I don't have a source for this but in Serbia it's well-known that Vucic and Xi Jinping have a closer-than-expected partnership.
I had an electrical engineer tell me this was more or less inevitable. I thought that sounded very strange.
That's the same argument as "we don't need to bother about our own consumption because China has coal-fired power stations".
Only those that challenge existing economic power structures.
> Inevitably, it turns out to be some stupid, stupid limitation caused by unfathomable laziness of the Azure developers. No workaround, no mitigation, but we're "working on it" with no ETA offered.

This is all microsoft products though. There have been .NET Identity bugs that have been open and acknowledged for multiple years.

This report was based erroneous data. Revised numbers are closer to VAERS data.
Larry Page has been rumored to be chilling on his own personal island at this point like a movie supervillain.

Note that while Brin and Page are no longer accountable to anyone and don't speak up because they're "retired", as Google's controlling shareholders, they're still completely in charge of Google.
Climate Optimism of the Will
cryptocurrency?
It’s an emergency? How much time do I have? Are we talking days or weeks?
I won't downplay the environmental consequences of PoW, but the actual reason so many governments are speeding the push against crypto might be related to a future of high inflation and high gov debt. It would be the perfect storm for mainstream crypto adoption.
I agree that collaboration is always desirable, and that common standards are beneficial to everyone.

But the GTK filepicker is simply an embarrassment, there's no other word for it. For all of the effort that has been spent on everything else Gnome-related, adding thumbnails to the filepicker would have been an extremely easy win.

The current implentation is at Win 3.x levels of design and experience.
Many such articles have a misleading title. It's the reaction to covid, especially lockdowns, that have caused the surge in diabetes, not covid itself. Quoting the article:

'the social conditions that the pandemic has caused are fertile ground for the growth of diabetes, in adults as well as children. “Severe emotional stress (may trigger diabetes), especially for some kids who might be genetically predisposed,” she said in an interview. “Say the family breadwinner loses their job and they don’t have insurance and, say the family loses their home. Does that trigger the emotional distress that could (lead to) diabetes?'
How exactly do you incentivize anyone ever to abandon PoW coins rather than just adding non-PoW on the side?

How exactly do you think you could dethrone Bitcoin, overcoming its gigantic first-mover advantage?

I believe BTC could only come down with the rest of that "economy".
The majority in terms of number of altcoins that have a forum post? Or majority in terms of converted USD market cap?
That's true for all types of investors
> My two cents: I don't think you can find ANY government (icluding Scandinavia countries, Switzerland and what not) that is NOT engaged in - "donating" money to a government regulator can induce the regulator to cover up and turn a blind eye to a person's alleged or suspected breaches in the course of investigations and prosecutions." That's how government regulation works, more regulation more opportunities for corruptions.

This comment, taken as a whole, is notable in what it does not mention.

For example, it doesn't talk about the many kinds of corruption that regulation mitigates (yes, imperfectly).

"Is government regulation good or bad?" is perhaps an ok introductory question to start off with. However, it is simplistic and overly generalized. So if one does not progress beyond it, one hasn't gotten very far. A practical question is "What kinds and implementations of government regulation serve our goals?"
Exactly, and for around $1000 they got good bang for the buck. A reasonable expense for lots of publicity about an important issue.
Although they disagree in many aspects, kde and gnome community have, AFAICS, had a healthy relationship for many years now. They collaborate with each other, implement common standards and even held events together. The adoption and popularization of ICCCWM, xdg-tools, PackageKit and even the support to wayland, pipewire and flatpaks are result of that.

Flame wars about what DE is best reminds of the days when people thought you were a 'hacker' just because you used linux. Or better, when people used linux just because they thought people would think they were hackers.
Unfortunately the marketing has gotten ahead of the actual engineering - the features can be useful but it does take an adjustment period to learn its limitations.

I have Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 on a 2021 Camry:

Pre Collision system: pretty good, it did help once when a car suddenly pulled in front of me and rapidly slowed down. Pretty good at detecting pedestrians when backing up. A good safety net, but you should never rely on it.

Dynamic cruise control: pretty good, but you need to take control if traffic is totally stopped or a car suddenly pulls in our out in front of you.

Lane departure / lane tracing assist: almost useless - too many faded lanes and complicated patterns where I live.

Road sight assist: accurate but mostly useless

Blind spot detection: a good first pass, but you still need to look. It can miss motorcycles or bicycles on a slower road. As the article mentioned, it can also miss if something is about to go into your blind spot.

By far the most useful newer feature is the 360 view camera - it makes parking super easy.
Shall we just ban everything volatile and/or that uses more energy than you personally find acceptable? Or anything that isn’t profitable for an arbitrary number of its users? I don’t particularly care about cryptocurrency but seeing bandwagon arguments like this at the top of HN threads is frustrating.
Only if you render the embed before the user accepts which is under the control of the developer/site, even though many don't bother to do that correctly I bet.

Are they pretty effective?

Most proposals they object to are trying to solve real problems. I almost never see the EFF propose better ways to solve those problems. They just raise objections to everyone else's proposed solutions.

And those objections are often just low effort implausible slippery slope arguments. It is pretty easy to make a slippery slope argument for pretty much anything that has it leading to a dystopian nightmare.

Legislators and policy makers tend to pay more attention to people with solutions, even bad solutions, than to people who just object to everything, especially when those objections are low quality.

Hardware manufacturers could pressure Microsoft to stop doing this. I hope there will soon be legal action prompting the manufacturers to take action (perhaps a class action against Dell by people who have been denied warranty on this basis? - though in the USA at least, Dell probably has that blocked by arbitration clauses.)

How's your cholesterol, risk for heart disease, etc?

Having high LDL, I switched to a high fiber diet. My LDL hasn't budge.

So now I'm pondering what's next.

I have almost zero knowledge, opinions, ideas about what's best, for me or anyone else. The stuff I've read about cholesterol just confuses me.

One of the few things I did learn (about myself) is that calorie restriction works great. After a few days I barely notice. But adherence is very difficult when I'm in pain.
I've always wondered why file picker has to be so tightly integrated into GUI toolkit. Separate program outputting the selected path(s) sounds like much nicer design, and makes it easier to implement alternative file pickers.
This meme isn't a limited case and it's representative of the mindset that GNOME has. Extremely focused in one "vision" disregarding the opinions and issues of users.

I've been using my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) for the last 7 years, fortunately without any issues! I've never had to have any repairs or replacement done to it.

A small dent and some scratches in the lid are the worst problems I have.

I have been holding out over the entire touchbar, keyboard and other debacles and will probably go for the new updated Pro model by the end of the year.

Let's hope my next purchase lasts as long as this machine has :)
Sometimes collaboration goes nowhere: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/217
Until we understand and push through a system (whether law or practice) that makes harming others, especially against their will and intentionally, far more costly than the massive returns and profits they today produce, NONE of these kinds of behaviors will ever cease.

The examples are numerous;

* Violation of human right to privacy and property

* Violation of human right to not being tracked

* Illegitimate wars

* Pollution

* Drugs (legal and illegal

* Government incompetence

* Siphoning off potential and sabotaging developing countries through human resource poaching called "immigration"

* The fed fraud

* Government theft and fractional enslavement through taxation

* More fraud through inflation

* Yet more fraud trough money "printing"

* And for emphasis; being "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" (and no, that does not only apply to the government)

...and probably many more that I am forgetting are all immensely profitable activities that damage and destroy and defraud large numbers of people while providing immense profits and benefits to a very small set of people who are also the most powerful.

You may disagree with what I have to say, but fundamentally regardless of which set of things you do and don't support all have an underlying mechanic that they defraud everyone while immensely profiting a parasitic ruling class, and that applies to both the things you think are good (e.g., immigration) or bad (e.g., wars). The parasitic ruling class has us squabbling over meaningless crumbs while they are bursting from picking our pockets and exploiting us as they always have, even if their con and lies have changed over time.
You should educate yourself. Energy consumption is an old myth and cryptocurrency pushes a lot of innovations in this field. There is a great documentary on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-7dMVcVWgc.
I guess my confusion was - the original post was about farm subsidies for the beef industry. I do not believe BLM price reductions count toward that, as a vast, vast minority of beef ever interacts with those properties.

While they are a subsidy, I do not believe they are relevant at all to the argument. That's my point, I guess.

Corn, bean, and other row crop subsidies, sure. But BLM is just a distraction, I think.
Ah yes! scaling of the UI has been fixed for me since Windows 11. I use a laptop with a 4k display, and an external display with a 2k resolution. That was really a mess with windows 10, since windows 11 I’m very happy with the scaling and external display support. Even the Win+P menu to change how the external display is being used is not as buggy as it was with Windows 10.

I only have issue with Telegram’s client, and that’s due to their use of Qt, which doesn’t support native UI scaling without relaunching the app.

But I would guess that may vary depending on your setup.
If it counted as not a "congested area" than that drops to 500 feet.
Show HN: Go Playground in WASM, Powered by a Virtual Machine in Go
I don't for a minute think the people running HN are against me. And there is no "community at large". There are what you describe as people with a variety of opinions, among whom are probably thousands of Big Tech employees.

Many of them and people like them are using the powers of trillion-dollar corporations, Hollywood, mainstream media, agencies like the CIA, universities that are gatekeepers of employment, etc. to aggressively employ the unprecedented powers at their disposal to suppress information that they want to keep hidden. Every time they justify why they do so, "Surely you can't expect us to allow opinions that people like us label as 'misinformation'", they admit that they do so.

And the ultimate irony is that they insist that this biasing of information is necessary because they speak for the voiceless who don't have power. If they are correct, it is the critics of the most powerful organizations in history whose voices actually need to be amplified. If they are incorrect, all voices should be allowed with none allowed to be silenced.

They, not you, will flag any attempt to report on the things they want to hide until your algorithm silences it for them. And they will flame as much as necessary until you learn to treat anything they want to silence as "flamebait". They have endless techniques for limiting the distribution of information that doesn't support them.

I'm just hoping that your policies will not be such that they can silence criticism here, as everywhere else, by flagging and flaming as necessary until your reasonable-sounding "substantive" and "new information" and "no flamebait" and so on are properly trained to self-censor what they don't want people to hear.
Or government could shut down exchanges that allow conversion to fiat. Then let's see how much you can really buy with crypto.
This is a country rounding up a whole population of a religious minority and sending them to reeducation camps. A country that mobilized over a billion people to almost completely control covid. You are vastly underestimating the CCP, as most Westerns continue to do.
My husband always had the same problem with his Macbook Pro. Slow, unresponsive and loud as hell under any light load.

Things are a bit better now that he bought an iMac, but for that price I could have assembled 2 excellent desktop PCs with a good screen.
Why would it ever break?

Countless times I've had my laptops fail to suspend due to kernel bugs (heh), fall into a spin loop (e.g. in a kernel panic) and get quite hot in my backpack. Nothing broke.
You have to weight brands with the most issues vs market dominance vs likelihood of being seen by someone who observes the problem.

If most laptops are Dells, then most problems will be on Dell machines, even if a niche brand is lower reliability.

If most Apple laptops are taken to an Apple store, then a PC laptop repair shop won't see problems with Apple laptops.

And so on.
I keep wondering: why do we really need authenticated boot?

If you encrypt the entire disk, including the boot partition, there's no way for an adversary to make any changes anyway.
Home calling by applications is literally an issue with the application - an application on Linux can just as easily call home.

I mean, Google does a far better job than Apple responding to reported vulnerabilities, pays a team to find vulnerabilies, has extensive fuzzing infrastructure, etc. Even among its peers Apple stands out as particularly bad.
One-size-fits-all chargers? What a great idea Of course Apple would hate it
Antonio Garcia Martinez of the Pull Request mentioned that Facebook will move all of the advertising matching work to the phone.

Facebook certainly has the intellectual firepower and motivation to pull this off, if it can be.
If you believe in free market capitalism, people should migrate from PoW to PoS coins, because PoS coins provide the same features with less expenses.

In practice this won't happen, because PoS coins don't deliver the same features (security, decentralization, permissionless) or the market doesn't believe they do.

Also the savings with PoS are not passed to the users of the cryptocurrency, but to the stakers, or big holders of the cryptocurrency. How do we even know, that these people will spend the money they make using some more enviromentally friendly way? Maybe they just buy lambos with the money and fly around with private jets.

Mining is quite small amount of the total transacted amount of BTC daily, and people are willing to pay the cost. If you want to replace Bitcoin with some more enviromentally friendly thing, you have to offer the same capabilities (or better). PoS coins fail to deliver this.
Only PoW cryptocurrencies can be fairly distributed and avoid wealth concentration (although many fail to do so by concentrating most of emission in just the first few years).
I have an example: I tried sending a Simpson gif of Flanders whipping himself to a friend on WhatsApp (1 to 1 message), whatsApp silently refused to send it....
Yes, as I said in another comment, I think people are just getting caught up on the article's use of the word, "income," which was indeed well-poisoning from the start. Obviously it’s not income in the ordinary sense and it’s not taxed like income.
Apple does not have cost and profit centers. They maintain a single profit and loss balance sheet for the entire company.

That doesn't mean the functional areas don't have a budget or resource constraints, but Apple's structure is quite different from most companies.

I'd agree with the other comments that pin Apple's specific issues on their insular culture that discourages all forms of external communication if you're not part of marketing. Great bug bountry programs require good communication with researchers and some level of transparency, two things apple is structured to avoid and discourage.
>As such, my guess is that Serbia isn't very important to "foreign powers" at all. Certainly not enough for a "blood bath" or even harsh words. And certainly not as a result of proposed internal surveillance laws. Such a statement is ridiculous on its face.

There is no reason why each of us can't have the formatted according to one's taste (=what works best), instead of this "communism". It's just a matter of IDE support that is lacking.

The IDE should apply user formatting preferences upon reading in the file, and apply the std formatting while writing it (with the aim of having diffs work well). That would make good use of auto-formatters.
Posted in another comment thread, but my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) has been awesome! No issues, no repairs or replacements and still going strong.

Maybe I got lucky but I really hope my next machine (probably going to buy the next 16" pro) will last as long.
I think this is pretty silly. Plenty of British aristos and upper middle class have married Americans, or are in fact part American at this point. Sure there may be some throwbacks who have a stick up their arse about it, but that's not "the British aristocracy". Not that those lot have all that much actual influence over anything these days anyway.
> Every fiat currency in history has failed.

That's funny. The extant fiat currencies haven't failed. So, the only ones that have failed... are the failed ones. And those have failed, 100%, indeed.
In France the company Free (internet), and then Free Mobile (mobile telvo) made revolutions by ultra cheap prices.

The heavy ISPs went to the government literally crying that it will break their business and they will lay off thousand of people.

They were sent away, wiped their tears and changed the price of a mobile contract from 80 to 10€.

They are still there and the customer is happy

Why not to ban steelmaking first?

Steel manufacturing requires tons of electricity, and it is already impossible in EU without enormous subsidies. It's an industry surviving entirely on life support.
Yes, many times. Usually not positive.

I've found that with programming, people either follow along or they don't, and it becomes obvious which one is the case fairly quickly. The first type of person will ask you a question, and fully or partially understand the answer. The second type will ask a question, and then stare like a deer in headlights at the answer, so you explain a little more, and get the same reaction, explain a little more, and get the same reaction, and so on, until at some point you see that you're taking them deeper and deeper into a dark tunnel with no exit on the other side.

I hope your question gets more upvotes and responses as I'd like to hear others' experiences.
> Lastly, I don’t know anybody invested in crypto that hasn’t made money, so anecdotally that indicates the number is much higher than 5%.

You make money when you exit and sell the asset for cash. Have they sold ?
I'm receiving some spam emails in the inbox folder since spring. They are clearly spam.

I analized 2 arrived this morning: both have 2 message-id header, one from gmail the other from sendgrid; both have a in-reply-to header (that is used for ARC and DKIM signature); both have 2 DKIM-Signature... both have the same CaMelCasE html... both are flagged as spam by a corporate antispam and my own spamassassin... one message has fake Received: headers with date in year 2019...

gmail has all the information to mark them as spam
Yeah, this could get pretty ugly.
Exactly, except this still locates the problem in the virus rather than the reaction.

It’s implying there was no other possible reaction to the pandemic than the one we had/have, but that isn’t so.
