Sadly, this doesn't seem like it'll ban Apple from removing the port from iPhones:

> - harmonise the charging interface for mobile phones and similar categories or classes of radio
equipment (tablets, digital cameras, headphones and headsets, handheld videogame consoles
and portable speakers) that are recharged via a wired charging

The EU needs to get in front of this, because forcing all iPhone users to use a bigger, heavier charging puck, waste 50% more electricity, and be unable to transfer files quickly to or from the iPhone, seems utterly unacceptable to me.

if you install one of the "lazy newb pack" mods (this is the typical recommendation: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126076.0) and watch a tutorial or two on how to use the interface, it's actually quite intuitive. Its interface is similar to vim in many ways.
Ask HN: What type of War Games do militaries play?
I was watching Feynman's lecture and Q*A session on: Can Machines Think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipRvjS7q1DI and there was a section where he brought up a type of War Game the Navy plays on ship cost, weapons, armor. It intrigued me as it sounded like a common game on a PC or even trading cards.

Anyone have examples or a book or two about them? It just sounds interesting.

I doubt it is healthier diet. Researches showing vegetarians are healthier have a problem that puts vegetarians to one group and omnivores to the second group putting people eating at fast foods altogether with people eating for example Paleo or mediterranean diet.

Greek diet is healthy, still they eat fish, seafood and meatballs.

Japanese cuisine is healthy, still they eat fish and seafood.

Korean cuisine is healthy, still they eat pork, fish.

Mediterrean diet is healthy, still they eat all types of meat.

Speaking of sustainability, there are regions where animal product is better (Mongolia, nordic regions). Besides that, sustainability is one of measures in the equation. People want sustainable diet, but not by all costs.
Slightly related to this, do you happen to know more about this topographic map [1] of Bulgaria and its surroundings?

[1] http://web.uni-plovdiv.bg/vedrin/#section2

I was curious if it be possible to somehow integrate the data from there on a geo-referenced map, maybe there are some instructions on that page pertaining to that but unfortunately I do not know Bulgarian.

I'm one of your neighbours from the North (I'm Romanian) and one of my side-projects involves geo-locating some toponyms that I find interesting (like toponyms indicating the names of some fortifications, for example, which would be gradishte in Bulgarian if I'm not mistaken). For the territory of Romania I managed to do that by integrating some Romanian military topographic maps with OpenLayers, I was thinking of extending my project to the entire Balkan area (that's why integrating those topographic maps of Bulgaria with something like OpenLayers or Leaflet would help me immensely).

Yeah, I don't think that is a reliable unbiased source. Moreover, wouldn't this invite defamation suit?
> Alternatively, once optical interconnect becomes cheap enough, we could return to that technology - two power pins & one optical connector.

Why would we need to? Smartphones don't even use USB 3.0, because smartphone can't realistically saturate 480 Mbit/s of USB 2.0. Of course, power of smartphones will increase over time, but, assuming current speed of progress in technology, we won't exceed USB4 speeds (40Gbit/s) before 2040.

> A phone would also benefit from a contact connector similar to Apple's magsafes (attached via magnets) rather than insertion plug

Magnetic cables already exist and aren't really popular.

> savings on internal space

USB-C port is 8.4mm2.6mm6.65mm = 145mm^3 = 0.000145L. Volumetric density of modern batteries is around 210 Watt-hours/liter, so, with saved space, you can store 0.03 Wh. It's 6 mAh at 5V.

Though, connectors based on magnetic pins are easier to waterproof (but it's still possible with USB-C).

> That we are stuck with plugs and sockets is largely artifact of requirements for uses other than charging, including pendrives & other USB dongles.

These things aren't going anywhere.

> Lastly, a clear directionality hint to charging cables would be good: if you connect a phone to a tablet, which should charge which?

None should charge other by default. User should be able to decide directionality of charging.

Human trafficking is rife on Facebook. It doesn't take very long to find some really disgusting stuff.

There are some NGOs like IJM who have teams of analysts that scout for trafficking victims on Facebook all day. It's largely a manual process that requires infiltrating public groups and connecting with suspicious profiles. Oftentimes, it's just strange dogwhistles to look out for like profiles of young women that say "Frycook at the Krusty Krab."

I helped build an app for an anti-human trafficking hackathon (we dubbed it "The Creeper Crawler") that scraped abusive profiles. I think ML could be a powerful tool for flagging these profiles, but this is a larger moderation problem I see no easy solution to.
I was confused also but I think what is being said here is that "noon" is de-coupled from "12:00" and becomes relative to the local position of the sun. So if you are at UTC-4 today your "noon" would happen at at 8:00 and if you were at UTC+2 your "noon" would happen at 14:00.

Honestly I had a hard time even figuring that much out. Time is hard.
Sure, it's a f--- you move and Apple might like it, but if they keep it up, they will keep making enemies until they have no more friends. For every homer like Gruber there are many more people that just want to do something useful with Apple's technology. Like play Fortnite.
I used to live in Western Australia. Vast areas of land with extremely reliable sunshine, and very little other uses [0].

The storage problem is being solved, battery tech is hot and getting hotter (kinda pun intended).

The transmission problem is still being worked on - there are unconventional options for cheap, plentiful solar power, like extracting hydrogen from seawater and then shipping the hydrogen to power plants near where the power is needed.

The costs used to be prohibitive because the panels were so expensive. But the tech for solar panels has progressed hugely (and quickly) and this is no longer a factor.

Solar power plants will never be a drop-in replacement for fossil fuel plants, for the reasons you describe. But that doesn't mean we can't replace fossil fuel plants with an energy system that uses solar power for generation.

The same will happen with vat-grown meat. One by one the difficulties will be overcome and the commercial problems will be solved. What we end up with will probably not look anything like our current meat industry. But it will replace our current meat industry.

Call me strange, but I actually really enjoyed the minutiae of managing unit deployments across the map, engulfing an enemy city, in Civ 5. It felt more like an actual assault than the stacks of doom in Civ 4.
> My overwhelming impression is that despite all this, no one really gets rich on running restaurants.

Simple napkin-math from when I was at the restaurant. I.e. multiplying the amount of people at restaurant by the number of days in a year they were open, multiplied by how much one of those "tasting menus + wine pairing" cost (which almost everyone buys); would suggest that their revenue would be somewhere in the range of 20-30 million dollars in revenue a year. That restaurant is always full, I think we booked our table 6 months in advance.

Clearly they serve you expensive wine, and a lot of expensive produce goes into their food making. But I would guess that the main cost of running that place would be the cost of paying the employees; which they don't. That 3-star restaurant (and many others), are making their owners extremely rich.

The restaurant business is extremely competitive, and most businesses struggle, but some are making good money. I live in a small town in Norway (200.000 inhabitants), and even here there is a guy who runs a bunch of restaurants, with profits in excess of 3 million dollars annually.
I like it but the proposal either needs to be more persuasive toward universities' limitations or those institutions need to be allowed to fail and be replaced with something more aligned with a university's mission.

Generally, universities are insolvent, being propped up by infinite government-backed loans leveraged against students' future earnings. In turn faced with an endless supply of funding, they've become wastrels and signed up for too many bills which they must cover by incessantly demanding more funding from debtor students. The model created a feedback loop that most universities will find terminal once policy changes out of necessity.

I'm afraid they will likely only hear "retake classes infinitely" as booting students severs revenue. Failing students however, makes that revenue renewable. Corruption is cancer both financially and morally.

Netgear fixes RCE flaw in routers’ parental controls feature
A file that would contain a secret should have the secret attributes parameterized and the attribute modified on deployment using Hashicorp Vault, otherwise the entire file would have to be stored in Vault meaning the entire file is a secret. This is a common pattern with Ansible, Chef, Puppet and other configuration management tools that integrate with Vault. Docker also has integrations with Vault and can replace attribute placeholders with their secret contents on deployment of containers. All of the aforementioned platforms have how-to's explaining how to correctly integrate with Vault.
It's not just farmers. It was done away with in the UK for 3 years back in the late 60s and people hated it.

There are 2 options, either going with summer time permanently which seems the most sensible approach in theory and what they did with the British Summer time experiment. The problem is that although having longer evenings in winter sounds good in theory it means that it's dark until 10am in the depths of winter and roads are icier when people are making their morning commute.

The other option is to keep standard time, but that will mean losing the late evenings in summer and the sun rising even earlier which would be a loss.

I don't see what the big issue people have with it is. It makes perfect sense for northern/southern latitudes and essentially all my clocks adjust themselves automatically.

Macs are the de-facto machine for dev computers these days because they're easy to manage for the organizations employing those devs. Maybe the Linux community should be taking a look into that? If Linux had the same kinds of enterprise controls Mac OS and Windows provide then I'd wager you would see greater adoption of Linux on the desktop in corporations.

I would then expect the greater adoption of Linux on the desktop in corporations would in turn lead to better Linux laptops.

That was a temporary restraining order [1] and later certified in a preliminary injunction [2], which is what occurs before a trial in order to best preserve the pre-trial status quo and protect parties from harm pending trial.

You will note that the preliminary injunction vacates the temporary restraining order and notes that it will "remain in force until the disposition of this case". The case has been disposed. The final ruling explicitly allows "Apple has the contractual right to terminate its DPLA with any or all of Epic Games’ wholly owned subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or other entities under Epic Games’ control at any time and at Apple’s sole discretion."

I seriously recommend not relying on blog analysis of a court case and instead reading the court documents, and if you are unable to do so (understandable!) to avoid participating in the conversation in the manner of correcting someone.

Ok, now do it by age group:

"Likewise, the mean age of the people who died in 1918 was 28, whereas with Covid, deaths are occurring mainly in the elderly, said Viboud, who works at the National Institutes of Health’s Fogerty International Center. In terms of cumulative years of life lost, the Spanish flu’s impact thus remains greater."
I've always enjoyed 4x games and some of the Civs have been the best among them. It's ultimately a minor gripe and sort of needed for the game to function, but I don't like how they represent history as a linear progression from the Neolithic to the present in the sense that technology A necessarily proceeds to technology C via tech B. The history of technology, as I understand it, has not normally progressed in such a simple way. Technologies are lost and regained and lost (look at the Maya or the Rappa-Nui) again in what seems like a some random movement towards an unknowable and not necessarily pleasant future. It's the one simplification in the game that irks me because some people really do believe, contrary to the evidence, in humanity's direct, unstoppable progression towards a utopian future. I find that degree of optimism dangerously blind to the threats that could be posed by innovation.

You could also wait for the steam version, which will have a much more intuitive UI.
>From agricultural point of view, it is nonsense. There are places that generate more human edible calories by having animals. For example Mongolia, or nordic regions.

Exceptions that prove the rule. Also nomadic hunters will not pay higher taxes on food in stores, because they're hunting it themselves, limiting the amount to what they can hunt, and limiting their fertility to the amount of calories they can get from the land. We have had unlimited growth of the human population elsewhere, which is what's worrysome, not the minuscule amount of leftover hunter-gatherers.

>If people will decide to eat less meat then be so. Forcing them would be disgusting.

Forcing humanity to march into inhostiptable environments because a portion of humanity doesn't care is I would say more disgusting than telling somebody, you have to eat food that's better for you and the environment.

Submissions by other users come to me through HN. I don't have to search through dates, topics, countries, etc. I just click enter and it all comes to me.

> How does local election info come to you?

I get emails about it for my state, I get physical mail from my state, I get emails about it from my employer, I hear friends/family/coworkers talk about it, I see signs out and about.

Not being flippant, but just because these things don't happen to you doesn't mean they don't happen to anyone. I even learned about some recall election in CA while on vacation there that I made zero effort to learn about. I just saw billboards, flyers in grocery stores, etc.
There's a couple of states that have opted out. I'm gonna agree that it's just an issue that not enough people care about to do anything about. Sort of like the penny or metric system

This is essentially what me and Trammell Hudson has been thinking about. But I don't have any available machines to test this with, and I haven't gotten around to setting up a QEMU vm to test out this theory.

Yes, Epic is a developer. So too is Tim Cook a user; does that mean that what's in Tim Cook's interest is in the interest of users, in general?

This doesn't logically follow; Epic's interests do not necessarily align with the interests of all developers, and they certainly don't necessarily align with the interests of users.

In particular, the whole point of this is that Epic wants to be more than just a developer: they want to be a platform owner, and run their own App Store. Most developers can't even dream of that—and probably wouldn't want to.

I don't think that's a major factor, the wind is mostly high above the water. Being far from polluting sources is the key for Ireland. Specifically, their western coast gets fresh air from thousands of miles of ocean, though admittedly there's a little bit of shipping and boating there. Compare to here on East Coast US, the wind comes from the continent, any fire out west/northwest leads to smog and haze here.
I think inevitably, the labs will make something, "close enough to meat". Then corporations will strip that down to the most cost effective model of that "meat". This will be sold to consumers as "green meat" or something that gives them the impression they're saving the world. The body will struggle with the amalgamation. Probably worse than a McNugget. Because even though a McNugget is filled with junk, there's still some meat (probably?).

Some disease will arrise in society that is obviously caused by consuming X "meat". And lobbyist will make sure that the public never knows.

Then we will have a massive diseased population. That a "health" industry will thrive on "marginally" treating the diseased.

Apple are hypocrites.

It's obvious that traffickers use any means to ply their trade, be it in people, drugs and other illegal activities. They will use FB, IG and apple solutions.

But Apple talks the talk about exploitation but keeps seeking the China market and continues to leverage Chinese manufacturing knowing well that China engages in activities that were they done in any US state or Western country, Apple would have a fit and would threaten to pull offices, staff and cease doing business as well as contributing to local opposition voices because they want to be part of the change--but they do none of that in China and, in effect, add the the problem.

Anyway, are Apple going to now refuse to sell phones to traffickers or run of the mill felons too lest they enable these baddies?
I strongly disagree. In Stockholm the sun rises at about 03:30 and sets at around 22:00 in the summer, using DST (UTC+2). If we were to use normal time (UTC+1) in the summer, it would instead be 02:30 (worthless added light for almost everyone) and 21:00, meaning most people would lose an hour of daylight, and one of the best things about living so far north.

If we instead switch to UTC+2 all year, the sun would rise at 09:45 instead of 08:45, and set at 15:50 instead of 14:50 in December. So it would still rise after most people had gone to work (starting at 08:00 is the norm), but it would set closer to when most people leave work.

I hear the argument that we should just use UTC+1 year round since that's when the sun is highest at 12:00, and if you want more light you should just wake up earlier. But speaking for myself, I don't want to go to bed one hour earlier to wake up 03:00 and invite people over for a barbecue. The early morning light is wasted light due to sleep, and the evening light is much more valuable, so it's not an even trade. Personally I don't care when the sun is highest anyway. For me, the day starts when I wake up, and I wake up so I can get to work on time. Everything after work and before sleep is free time, and I want to maximize that since a contiguous time block lets me do stuff I can't do if I had to split it before and after work.
