> China has been building islands and claiming the sea around them

Of cuz, that's known everywhere. Chinese netizens are ecstatic about this ingenious move that fenced off SEA countries from meddling the water area in any way that could affect China's claim over them.

> They routinely send their fishing fleets into the legitimate territorial waters of other nations

They are just self directed business man. Just like the numerous business man who invaded almost every Asian countries in the early 1900s. These fisherman would have been invading all-over the places if they were in 1900 as well.

Of cuz, not like the 1900s, these fisherman are not going to be protected (very strongly) by their home country when they were caught.

> they are starting to struggle again with the size of their population, expansion will seem like a natural solution.

Well, almost everyone is expecting the population to be dwindling from now on. A lot have calling the recent census fake, because they all expect a population drop.

Not sure why this population driven expansnism holds itself...
In many locales they will not be able to retain a phone legally without court order because of laws/rights around search-and-seizure.

Unlike a state-issued ID, the understanding is solidly that the phone is the citizen's property.
Do you say "wired broadband" to mean non-mobile?

I ask since satellite and even mesh network non-mobile broadband is a super performant and already deployed reality, evidently.

I can't find it now, but there was a mildly populae HN thread about a service that does "email validation" and part of it did catch-all detection, and there do seem to be other services that market this[0].

But apparently not without phoning China about it first, if recent news is to be believed.
"lead-free glass"

I assume glass is just lead-free by default and I don't need to go out looking for a special lead-free version of glassware, right?
Sweet, great to hear! On a similar note, did the new RT lose integrations? I can't seem to find that page.
GTK4 had a huge performance improvement on macOS, maybe projects will get there.
I was somewhat surprised at that too. HN comments, for example, aren't nested/threaded in any semantic way. Just spacer gifs in a <table>. I don't know how visually impaired readers follow comment threads here.

It's called retreating upmarket, (Norm Macdonald voice) or as I like to call it, digging your own grave.

Companies do it all the time. And usually a short time later, they either die or become irrelevant. Look what happened to Embarcadero as they retreated to nickel-and-diming existing enterprise customers. They're completely irrelevant, despite TP and Delphi having been legendary products. Embarcadero is only a thing because Borland did the same thing two decades ago, spinning off their programmer tools so they could chase the enterprise SDLC dollar, and there's nothing left of Borland because they've been completely absorbed by the Micro Focus sarlacc.

Intel is demonstrating that they can't compete on x86 performance, and where raw performance isn't the goal, ARM is now completely adequate thanks in part to Apple Silicon. So they're retreating to nickel-and-diming enterprises to death with this crazy on-chip DLC scheme, and there may well be some takers. But the real action will be on commodity hardware -- perhaps even open-source hardware, and Intel will be servicing a dwindling (but deep-pocketed) customer base. Their lunch will be slowly eaten unless they pull a real rabbit out of their hat.
Yes, no, maybe?

As far as I know, with existing known technology and defenses, there's probably a number n, such that if you launch more than n simultaneous non-hypersonic cruise missiles, an aircraft carrier is going to be unable to deal with them all. This of course assumes you can launch that many missiles, in range of the carrier, simultaneously, without advanced warning.

Now, the navy also isn't dumb, so I'd venture to guess they avoid parking their carriers within that range when possible, and that they probably have some other defenses like C-130's and other ships mounted with directed energy weapons and other missile defense and whatnot. I imagine they also aggressively pursue and maintain intelligence on the location, number, and readiness state of those missiles. This starts to get complicated because there's a complicated interplay of strategy and tactics related to the off-ship capabilities, and defenses have counter-strategies (such as launching a bunch of Surface-to-air missiles at those C-130's immediately prior to launching the cruise missles) and those counter-strategies have counter-strategies, etc. etc.

I also have no idea what that number n is. It could be infeasibly high.

Hi, Mike from Gitpod here. This project does not use code-server. It is instead a very lightweight server added to the official open source VS Code repo from Microsoft.

We documented this in more detail in the "Source Code Organization" chapter at https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/blob/main/doc....

As to where to submit PRs:

- Anything to do with running VS Code in a server context: gitpod-io/openvscode-server

- Anything else related to VS Code: microsoft/vscode

We have no intention of changing VS Code in any way or to add additional features to VS Code itself.

My apologies to anyone who ended up getting stuck there at the expense of Things To Do™.
Their goal was to make the world a better place for themselves. That's the bit they always leave out.

While I'm not actively seeking to remove Amazon from my online shopping as some people are, I've definitely sought out other options. Amazon has now become my store of last resort.
You would basically need to isolate yourself from the grid to be immune to any blips...it takes a while for a backup to come on line and even things out.

I don't have much of a use for OBS these days, but man it's a real game changer compared to the hoops you had to jump through for capturing your screen or external devices a decade or so ago.

I'm sure many people remember all the old YouTube videos with an "Unregistered Hypercam 2" tag in the corner. I recall a time when the only decent screen capture tool was Camtasia, which had a fairly high price tag.

I've played around with OBS a bit, and occasionally use it for screen captures, and it's a really impressive, feature-packed piece of software that feels like it shouldn't be free. Big props to the people who made it happen!
I think citizens of the most violent nation in recent history should do some introspection before projecting their misdeeds onto others..
Unfortunately, they're killing other people too by needlessly hogging hospital resources.

There will also be a longterm increase in healthcare costs because of the unpaid debts that many of the uninsured patients will leave behind.
I like the general idea, but one place where it falls down is in Free press situations. For example, you are a whistleblower or dissident. And the other example is if you are a battered spouse and want to discuss it without the batterer being able to identify you.
I need a filter to only show technical info from HN, like it was ten years ago :-)
Since all votes have the same weight I guess it makes sense that the answers to most basic questions or highly common problems will get the most points. Maybe SO should have a button to donate points to an answer that really saved your bacon, a super-upvote if you will. (I know you can attach bounties to questions, but that's not really feasibly when you come across something that has already been answered).

But yeah, crowd behavior is fun. I have the feeling I can time when some computer vision courses (or the semester) starts, as suddenly there's many upvotes on my basic answer explaining BGR/RGB color space confusion with OpenCV, the computer vision library :)
The thing I was thinking of when it comes to the ID provider is the potential power an ID provider has... if say you wanted to be validated, but still have some anonymity in some cases ... or just if they decide to invalidate you for any given reason.

Granted all very hypothetical stuff, I'd give it a spin for sure.
It's a counterintuitive concept that most of the web doesn't get. Their features have no deep value. I, we know HN is backward, flawed, limited.. it's fugly it's bad, crooked, a shame, laughable, it's whatever. Yet we come back.

Reddit used to be like that.. search feature was lame, ui was bland .. but the subs and spirit was way so much more important it even made the flaws something you were attached too. It's a very human trait actually.. you know that some stuff gives you so much, you start to like the limitations.
If you are interested in lead exposure as a global problem, I recommend the "There's Lead in your Turmeric" episode of The Weeds podcast. Some of the largest sources of lead are adulterated turmeric, improperly fired pottery, and others that I never would have expected.

Rather than have everyone who can run this (without getting banned) actually run it, couldn't someone just post the results to a file for us once per day or week? Seems inefficient to have millions of people run this when it results in (mostly) the same data.
I had to install it to a colleague macos computer and it was a pain to setup the computer audio recording. Had to install a third-party closed source plugin, configure it...

There are so many widely open train stations in France that securing only some of them would be a huge waste of time and energy while securing them all would be nearly impossible.

And I really don’t want to live in a country where boarding a train is as painful as boarding a plane. Millions of people are using train to commute, adding security checks would totally kill the train.
People post images of C code too. Best are the ones that post a link to the image on some external image host. Gaaah.
The problem with the author's vision is that geared brushless servo actuators like the Gyems they used, all generally similar to the original MIT Cheetah actuators (or steppers, another popular motor) require precision low-backlash gearboxes with large bearings and servos with high-speed control electronics. They also need high-resolution force/torque sensors to be collaborative capable, and if you require it to not fall down when E-stopped, you need brakes. All of that has become impressively cheap for what it is, but scale and progress can only do so much - that hardware will always be expensive.

The problem is they're starting this effort from the basic joint being an electric motor. When you start there, this all follows as what you have to do to build a robot, you're forced into a corner in your design. Instead, it's far better to have the safety and operation come inherently from the way the product is designed.

I saw an impressive demo at an automation conference about a decade ago, it was a cobot where the motion was based on inflation of pneumatic bladders. It functioned similar to the way biological muscles work. It did not need gear reduction, or force sensors, or brakes, or high-speed amplifiers. If it ran into something (or something ran into it), it didn't strip gearboxes, the bladder just complied.

I think that will be the 'killer cobot' someday, but it's going to be hard to impossible to launch into the industrial space.
Vaccination numbers as of 28.09.2021:

Denmark: 76.7% / 75.1%

Canada: 77.5% / 71.4%

Scotland: 76.7% / 70.2%

Canada will most likely overtake Denmark as more people have had the first vaccine shot.
Law enforcement or fastmail admins reading my personal email isn’t something I want, but isn’t so distasteful as for it to really be in my threat model such that I’m willing to go the lengths required to get an email provider that doesn’t have this ability, such as proton mail. I care about security and privacy and recommend fastmail, but I could see someone whose end all be all criterion of interest being privacy not wanting to use fastmail. But, this isn’t 99.999% of the population.
2 theories

1. Highly technical, because the flow was scripted to work with our website. Bypassing captcha, email verification by using many different domains, email accounts and also highly distributed via many ips.

2. Non technical. Where they paid some ppl to do it manually, which doesn't seems to be due to the way they walk through many steps like piece of cake.

However, our platform was/is a target due to several reasons:

1. Easy to register and start blogging.
2. Free plan with no hard limit.
3. Quick rankings due to SEO implementation out of the box.
4. Absence of any moderation before such attack.

And probably some other possible reasons that made their job easier and us a better target.

I grew up in tech-hostile environment but somehow i got to buy a few volumes of byte in the 90s. I remember reading Jon Udell's column and for some reason liking his expose of web technologies. It is so weird , i even remember certain sentences. It's fair to say that I owe him my web 'career'
xsplit not only was compromised repeatedly and collected billing details and was a pay monthly to use software, but also just kind of .. never innovated, ever. no new features, ignored requests, ignored feedback while they were "king" long ago.

mandatory watermarks, inability for kids/teens that want to stream to pay for it even if they wanted to - no offline payment methods, no way to purchase a key without a credit card type of thing.

was also not cheap/forgettable tier of pricing - i believe $15/m? back in the day people went off to ffsplit (ffmpeg-based free version?) and obs (before obs was as polished as it is today, but it was free)
Thank you. It doesn't err.. look super straightforward. I was hoping for an automated way of some sort.

This stack affair of `local arrays are super fast! but keep it small, 1024 should be okay` is very puzzling to aspiring C lovers like me.

You're talking about the UK, right? From what I understand they're still going to ID you one way or another (e.g. they'll just look you up in their database, just like police in the US will do if you don't have your license on your person).
That sounds like the description of Ford Prefect’s arrival on earth in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Surely, there is a ton of money in providing reports to some micromanager boss. If a business fills that niche, is it irresponsible on the business or is it just them finding a market fit?
I don't understand, though. Since it's a model, why say "gitable=no" instead of having ability to have those "frozen sources of truth" git-committed?

In fact, it's not clear to me, can I even get the model code out of this? I see "model export" but can't tell what the toolbox means from your visual tool.

I really want to use this, but only if it integrates back into the everything-as-code record. (I don't even care if bi-directional for now, but it has to snapshot the model out.)
Not FLOSS, but related; I feel like the Linux prosumer video editing scene has dramatically improved. Lightworks is really nice once you wrap your head around it, and Da Vinci Resolve on Ubuntu is even pretty OK.

I'm not a video editor by trade, I just make dumb YouTube videos like twice a year, so I'm definitely not "stress testing" these tools in any serious sense, but for years I had to run a VM of Windows with a copy of Vegas Pro installed. I of course wanted to work on Linux, working on a VM is a pain, but I found the existing video editing tools on Linux to be extremely buggy and irritating to use. Once Lightworks was released (and stable) on Linux, I suddenly didn't feel the need to bother with Vegas anymore.
Sneaky. I like it.
I read through the article. I really, really hurt for its author, and pray that I never face similar circumstances. It sounds like he's stinging from his manager not expressing enough empathy.

But with the information in the article, I don't really understand what Amazon should have done differently. Unfortunately the article was vague about just how much the author was underperforming.

Also, while I'm no fan of Amazon, it sounds like they treated him far better than the legally required minimum.
They were paying him a lot of money to do something. When he wasn't able to do it, it's not like they fired him instantly; they even offered him $30k of severance.
I literally use it to test if my internet is working!
It would be cool if streamers had a universal OBS appreciation day where all donations get funneled to OBS, similar to the charity streams.

“What we do wouldn’t be possible without amazing software so if you want to help support the team that helps me and many of your other favorite streamers do what we do, head on over to obsdonos.com” kinda thing.
I don't think the relationship between car-dependent infrastructure and meeting people holds. I live near the center of the city, and I take public transportation and walk to go to work. In 7 years of subway, I've never had a conversation with a stranger. I don't think I've ever seen someone have one either. I think I had one or two conversations with strangers in 5 years of bus, which is a bit better.

I had more when walking (I'd say one every 6 months), but that's only when I'm not constrained on time, so at the end of work or on free days/the weekend. 95% of the time it's people asking for direction, all of those being something you could check on your phone (I know because that's how I'm able to answer them). I've never met someone that I talked to again this way.

My university had no cars in it, and was wide. It was a great place to be, because cars and the infrastructure designed around them sucks. But outside of the people in my class (basically the equivalent of colleagues), I don't think I met anyone.

On the other hand, car-dependent infrastructure strips the joy from life, in a way that makes life with them way more miserable, even if you don't use them. In my university, I could sit on grass, walk around without making sure I won't be killed by an incoming vehicle, appreciate the silence when most people were in class. Now I have to go through a car-heavy area to go to the office. My choice is either the big street with lots of cars, or the small streets with cars and a piss smell.

At the university, I didn't mind being alone. In a way, a bit like in nature, even if alone you don't feel lonely when there are tree, grass and wide spaces around you. Now that I'm mostly in car-dominated areas, being alone is slightly more unbearable every day.
Here is what I can find off hand:

https://www.theverge.com/22628925/water-semiconductor-shorta...

> Last year, the company pledged that by 2030 it will restore and return more freshwater than it uses. It’s nearing that benchmark in Arizona, where Intel says it cleaned up and returned 95 percent of the freshwater it used in 2020. It has its own water treatment plant at its Ocotillo campus in Chandler that’s similar to a municipal plant. There’s also a “brine reduction facility,” a public-private partnership with the city of Chandler, that brings 2.5 million gallons of Intel’s wastewater a day back to drinking standard. Intel uses some of the treated water again, and the rest is sent to replenish groundwater sources or be used by surrounding communities.

I'm not sure what 95% is based on, and it seems like they can't reuse it all, but other clients can (e.g. it isn't suitable for cleaning machines, but is ok to drink).

In my opinion, the true spiritual successor to Hypercam 2 is not OBS Studio (a real-time multi-source video compositing framework) but ShareX (a window or screen recorder).
The problem is where the line is drawn. Arguments against explicitly illegal content (like CSAM) or unhelpful content (like spam) are used to justify content moderation that goes far beyond. Moderation on the biggest social media platforms (like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc.) includes more than just basic moderation to make the platform viable. They include a number of elements that are more like censorship or propaganda. These platforms ultimately bias their audience towards one set of values/ideologies based on the moderation policies they implement. And given that most of these companies are based in highly-progressive areas and/or have employee bases that are highly-progressive, it is pretty clear what their biases are. This present reality is unacceptable for any society that values free and open discourse.
Hey, thanks! I wrote about 1/3rd of an arm32 backend but it's languished because I've focused Virgil energy on only those things I need for my Wizard Engine project. Probably the next port I'll do will be arm64 to run on the M1 and Raspberry Pi, but that'll be some time in the future.

Nice to hear someone has read the code. Glad you like it. Cheers :)
FWIW, the OBS Websocket plugin makes a great remote control interface available for OBS, and can be paired with https://t2t2.github.io/obs-tablet-remote/ for a control surface. Bitfocus Companion can also be used with the Elgato Streamdeck, as well as a virtual remote surface and a REST interface if you'd like to roll your own interface as well (and prefer not to use WebSockets)

There is an untold story here which is how incredibly well HN is moderated. Don’t know how it can remain so good. I feel like the center cannot hold. The site seems to me hideously understaffed, yet they do a pretty much perfect job of moderating. Would love to know if it is all human, supplemented by ML, or what.
There aren't exact thresholds, but hypersonic generally refers to speeds fast enough that fluid heating can no longer be approximated away and chemical reactions and ionization in the air start to dominate.

Aerodynamics is a practice of which physical phenomena you can ignore. At low speeds you can pretend the speed of sound is infinite / air is incompressible (these are equivalent), as you get faster you have to start paying attention to compression, then shock waves, heating, ionization, and the mechanics of individual particles.
What use cases do you have that need the model to be committed to the repository if it wasn't bi-directional?
I was thinking about this the other day, and it really struck me how dehumanizing cars are.

Look at road rage, I have seen some of the kindest people I know get absolutely furious at another person's driving. However, I don't think they would ever get that angry at another person if they were doing something else. They don't see a person; they see a car.
