Text blocks like this was a thing in a BBS-style forum I used in the nineties. There were topics where all posts were expected to be in block form. They would also turn up in other topics here and there.
Who needs this? I road electric trams in Germany god they were great got me to school and many others on there way. It seems like we only ask a question if applies to an individual an individual with a great deal of money.

Some say it ended because Britain got industrialized, became substantially richer, and could afford to have and enforce morals in this field.
> You can't do this because you're lab will be shut if you are found to be doing experiments in secret.

It's almost like if you move your research to a country who has no regards for safety or ethical concerns, that suddenly isn't a problem.
Why has nobody said India? 99 percent of the country would fall well under your budget!!!!
Will anyone pay me for this comment? I'm guessing not. Will anyone pay for yours? Also probably not. Because in both cases they take minutes or less to write. 99.999% of most content on most social media is equivalent to this, what is it worth?

The internets "landlords" didn't decide these comments have no monetary value, we did.
It is not clear to me how putting the batteries behind the riders rather than under them makes for a shorter wheelbase. The article mentions a lower height, which presumably reduces aerodynamic drag, all else being equal.

Maybe it is a matter of getting a good compromise between wheelbase, drag and center of gravity height?

Update - more on that here:

Lack of evidence usually means something didn’t happen.

We don’t imprison people for crimes on the basis we couldn’t find any strong evidence, thus what ever shitty “evidence” we did find must be an acceptable basis for punishment.
At the very minimum we should not be funding this type of research. Just the act of going into a cave and looking for specimens is dangerous. Ideally there would be a worldwide ban on it. We should take the money and effort and redouble out efforts to create antiviral therapies.
You should read the article. The EU administration and most countries don't want to include it but some countries (FR, PL, CZ) want to do so. The EU however has to find a position that bridges these views in order for the legislation to pass through both ttje European Parliament and the Council (=27 governments). The result is likely either a compromise in the middle (s.g. phase-out clauses) or a pay-off of some kind (e.g. additional funding programme for the countries most affected by the ban).
it is a bit messed up that you think it's me. I change configs on these things only enough to get them to function, and then I leave them alone.

and what exactly could I be doing to cause random DNS failures, or to cause DHCP to fail only on Ethernet ports? these things can't be configured to do that. they're consumer-grade routers and consumer-grade routers are garbage. all of them.

every enterprise router or access point I administer at work functions just fine for years at a time.
>It's not hard to find highly opinionated people making assumptions while confidently believing they're right. If you look closely, you'll notice this all the time on HN and Reddit and basically anywhere that allows people to comment.

C'est la vie. The internet allows millions of people to opine on barstools.

It might simply be that our standards for the written word were too high before as it required a large investment to write/print/distribute a magazine or book.
It’s impossible to say, but it’s highly likely that an alternate history where we went much more strongly into nuclear power would have yielded far more active investment and development of variations on reactors than we have today. We could be much further along the fast or thorium (or something newer) reactor timeline for instance, or have more advances in safety and speed of setup that don’t exist without much larger demand. We also could’ve irradiated much more of the Earth if things had gone wrong, but ultimately I don’t think you can use the problems of nuclear today against someone who wishes we’d been all in on nuclear for the past 50 years.
That is a good example to consider: the conspiracy theories were around things like magic crypto-breaking boxes, men in black getting crypto keys, or deeply-hidden backdoors in Windows. What they actually kept secret was that they were tapping cables covertly using the same tactics against American companies that they’d used throughout the Cold War — the secret being that they were using them domestically.

Applying Occam, I’m going to bet that the origins of the virus will turn out to be entirely zoonotic or that someone got infected doing fieldwork rather than the lab engineering claims.
This is what scares me about electric cars. This type of design seems more likely to mean disposable cars. This is the automotive equivalent of a glued in non serviceable battery in a phone.

From an environmental standpoint this seems like a step backwards. It can be cost effective to replace entire damaged engines and transmissions even in older vehicles. People are keeping cars for longer, currently the average is over 8 years.
Technical correction: YouTube, GitHub and GitLab all produce Atom feeds, not RSS. (Nitter has /rss in its URLs but I can’t confirm they’re actually RSS because the feeds seem to be broken, producing HTML “user not found” error pages.)

(If you want to know more of my beef against RSS (both as a technology and as a term for web feeds regardless of actual format): https://hn.algolia.com/?query=chrismorgan+atom+rss&type=comm.... RSS should have been killed off about fifteen years ago in favour of Atom.)
"attacked"

Disclaimer first: Me = Pro nuclear.

But if you try to take over a mainly also anti-nuclear demonstration with your messaging and stir up "the mob" with that, you probably should not call somebody taking away your "Nuclear against climate-change" sign an "attack by a no-nuclear climate mob"
Our meetings always felt like one construction worker digging a hole (doing work) while everyone else watched. Easily could have been solved with an agenda or someone telling to do the work post and not drag everyone else through the process of making a Jira ticket.

We eventually decided to have a meeting chairman, their job was to make sure there is an agenda and to keep it on topic. They also make notes of tickets that need writing and make sure it's done post. We decided to rotate the responsibility weekly since it's kinda a hassle, but it really helps having someone assigned to keep meetings moving.

We used a spreadsheet to rotate at first, but then found an slack app called tellspin that's been working really well for us. It reminds me a lot like pagerduty has a schedule, overrides, etc. Allows people to move shifts and stuff so the meeting leader role is always filled.
> The potential for loss is much higher with nuclear power.

This isn't true. Fossil fuels kill much, much more people per Kwh than nuclear [1]. But much like airplanes vs car accidents, fossil fuels kill constantly and widespread in small amounts, while nuclear kills very rarely in high amounts.

I dislike when management decides to join a technical meeting randomly and then spends the whole time being confused and trying to get folks to explain something to them. It’s happened at every place I’ve worked so far.
For the record I’m not saying they’re unintelligent, it’s just that explaining something like how a kernel module actually works to someone who doesn’t know what a kernel is tends to put a damper on the meeting if it takes 30+ minutes.
I'm using it to mean somebody who studies the technologies in the field. It would include both analysts and those who are actively performing research in industry and academia.
YouTube is far better if you can completely bypass their algorithm.

Half the time I use YouTube through NewPipe, a FOSS Android alternative to the YouTube app. If you import your subscriptions, it shows you exactly all the videos from your subscribed channels in chronological order, not what it or YouTube thinks you want to see. The search is seemingly less algorithmically influenced and there is no autoplay. There's a "trending" tab, but that's easy to ignore and you can just set your subscription feed as the default tab. The very fact that I don't feel like what I'm seeing is what corporations and billionaires want me to see changes my usage into something that is active rather than passive. It feels different, better, to participate in the power process to not only have confidence in that I'm seeing all the updates I specified to see but that I have to seek out what I want to watch/listen to. Psychologically, it's healthier, IMO.
They have the time and money to research this issue on every system, and they typically do bundle libraries.

I once saw a comparison with LibreOffice that showed that the the package Debian itself provided was 20% of the size of the package LibreOffice provided targeting Debian, — which would not receive the same benefits of security bugfixes to libraries, but of course also not the same problems that often arise on Debian when they arrogantly patch libraries they barely understand and create their own unique security problems.
Except your rule isn't a rule at all, it's just you assuming everyone else has the same usage pattern as you (they don't).

Pre-covid I had many co-workers who would sit down, plug their laptop into the dock, and work the whole day without ever opening the lid.

I've also spent 15+ years with a laptop connected to my TV that never has the lid open, and I definitely expect it to wake up when I sit on the couch and wiggle the Bluetooth mouse.
Why does this keep getting pushed as if its true? This is not true.

This is covid misinformation and the WHO should come and arrest you.

The bats that supposedly harbored this virus are from more than 1000 miles away from Wuhan.
Sounds like you need to consider making a change, too.
"There is absolutely no health justification for such a regulation,"

"The whole proceeding against an industry that has made invaluable contributions to the American economy for more than fifty years is the worst example of fanaticism since the New England witch hunts in the Seventeenth Century."

"no person has ever been found having an identifiable toxic effect from the amount of lead in the atmosphere today."

"Tetraethyl lead had saved the American economy billions. It made the modern automobile, the entire car-centric structure of American life, possible. A phase-down would emasculate car engines, cause octane numbers to plummet, and waste crude oil. They might as well burn the money of the American people."

Housecleaning is great exercise. Keep your space unnecessarily tidy and clean.
It’s a great question that is relatively simple to answer (but hard to do).

First, you need good material to work with. This is why it will be hard/impossible to fix WeWork. Sadly it may also make Intel hard/impossible to fix — lots of great stuff but deeply embedded in a matrix of mediocrity. same for HP (poor choices at the top didn’t help) and probably why google can’t be fixed — even more than Intel they have a lot of excellent resources and assets but they are embedded, not in mediocrity, but a fucked up management culture. And they haven’t had their near death experience yet.

Second: have enough domain knowledge to be able to identify and nurture the good stuff. One exception to this was Gerstner at IBM (at the time I derided him as “the cookie guy”). He famously visited most of IBM around the world and then his grand plan was: “actually things are great — let’s not make any changes”. In reality he shook up the management culture but let most the tech people keep teching. That righted the ship. Sadly he was not followed by successful CEOs, some of whom were otherwise admirable.

Third: be lucky the right way. Sometimes a company won’t catch a break (e.g. being a stagecoach maker today) but if there is a trend, or even better a phase change in the market you can take advantage of, take advantage of it. This is the “lucky generals” theory.

Lisa Su is a consummate techie but she uses her brilliance cleverly: she can match what’s going on inside the company with external needs, and channel the marketing and sales people to address it in the right way.

Sometimes you can’t pull it off. Hector Ruiz was a wizard at Motorola yet somehow he could pull it off at AMD. I couldn’t understand why.

OTOH look at someone like Gil Amelio. He only got one thing right at Apple, which was to fire himself and bring back Steve Jobs. But that was an important thing.
Ferrari's logo is a prancing horse

Lamborghini's logo is a raging bull

Seems fitting, we don't need those animals to be in captivity anymore. We needed them for our survival for such a long time but we don't need them anymore.

Still we hold them captive for our entertainment (think Corrida de Espana and Kentucky derby or Polo or any equine competition really)

I think that will be the outcome here as well. Some 5000 V12 scattered around the globe won't destroy the planet. It's all about virtue signaling.

There is a huge battle right now going on between billionaires and millionaires.

Billionaires want to protect their private jets and yacths at all costs so they need to throw a bone to the population in the form of punishment towards millionaires' toys such as Italian V12s and American luxury RVs powered by Diesel engines.
A more flexible rule that also might help a little would be to require a separate justification for the use of time to be filed for every single invitee.

It's just like of the signup process on your landing page. Make things you want to happen as effortless as possible -> make things you want to happen less more effortful.
Are you claiming that the parent posters comments about funding are false? You don’t actually address them.
I work freelance, and have been glued to my couch all day for a long time. I became physically depleted and demoralized, and the money couldn't compensate. In the end, I cut a quarter of my workload and now have at least one afternoon a week (two, some weeks) where I walk at a good pace about 7-10 miles + whatever walking I can get at weekends with my girlfriend.

I was sorry to lose the money, but there was just no other way forward, and I have to say that it's proved worth it. The work that remains, I perform better than before, and my life has more balance.

Working an office job that's been WFH'd, I don't know what the answer is, particularly in the darker winter months (for me, I am resolved to switch to morning walks and working later into the afternoon and early evening).
Interview with Spencer Frazer, SOG Knives Founder
Pub lover from the UK checking in.

There are a few pubs - not many, but some - knocking about the UK where if you are in workwear (boots, high-biz jackets, etc.), you be asked to not drink in the saloon and move to the public bar, and in one pub I know near central London the landlady used to just simply ask you to drink elsewhere if you had clearly just come in from a building site.

In the countryside you may be asked to remove your walking boots if it's a muddy day before walking on the carpeted area or the saloon bar.

And while it's pretty rare now for there to be a true class division in the pub itself, there is definitely market positioning of pubs. A flat roofed pub with England flags around it will attract a very definite kind of clientele to a traditional pub with hanging baskets outside and a restaurant within.
How do you remove all the extra CO2 no to mention cleanup all the various toxoc waste sites while reducing energy consumption?
You're probably getting downvotes because you said "ticket."

Which speaks to another problem with most large company cultures: ticket shoveling. In a healthy company, every ticket should receive one of three outcomes.

(1) I can fix this, I work the ticket to completion, then request verification it's resolved.

(2) I cannot fix this, but I know someone who can. I add context if needed, forward it to the appropriate person, and stay appraised of it and available until it's completed.

(3) I cannot fix this, and nobody I know of can. I list out reasons why this cannot be fixed, and give any information I might have about alternative contacts who might(!) be able to help, and close the ticket.

In most companies, and I think this has been exacerbated by outsourced IT and contractual resolution SLAs, until everyone's internalized it as the way they and everyone else should act, you get something like this.

(1) Is work. This is to be avoided at all cost.

(2) I blindly forward a ticket on to anyone else who looks remotely responsible, to get it out of my queue, and then wash my hands of the entire matter and forget it ever existed. I certainly don't follow up or add context.

(3) I close the ticket without providing any reason why, or information I have about someone who might know something I don't, who could help.

A reliable metric I've come up with for measuring corporate and/or team disfunction is to count how many circuits a worst-case ticket can receive (where a circuit is: originator -> some number of teams -> originator/loop). My record is 3, before someone noticed.
Have an exercise routine. I think weight lifting gives you most bang for your buck.

Around technologists there still seems to be a sort of nerd vs. jock thinking where people are afraid they have to become some "gym douchebag" who only thinks about lifting weights. People definitely fixate on it sometimes because exercise can become addicting, but there is nothing preventing one from taking a minimalist approach to it that doesn't demand much time or thought, but has huge benefits. It is sad to see a kind of gnostic thinking where people are contemptuous of anything non-cerebral, especially when exercise is actually good for your brain! Boosts BDNF.

Plenty of routines out there which only require 3 days a week with workouts being under an hour. This is a nice example: https://physiqz.com/workout-routines/powerbuilding-programs/...

I think this sort of thing is best. Walking on a treadmill at work while coding is a bit gimmicky.
"Because the Circassian was thought to be the purest, most primordial exemplar of the white race, that may have led the white viewer to yet another thought: that the sexual fate and the sexual proclivities of the “Circassian Lady” (no true “lady” by Victorian standards because of these very proclivities) might just as well be those of any given “American Lady,” who must be, after all, the racial descendant of the woman on exhibit. And that, in turn, would suggest that the white American “lady” was, at bottom, in her unadorned, uncultured nature, no different from the Circassian—and so no different from the African."

I'm curious, why do you think it should have been killed off in favor of Atom? Do you mean in the sense of the terminology, or is there something inferior about RSS?

Perhaps both should be killed off in favor of a JSON-based format.
> What you’re doing sounds super cool! Is it just as a hobby or your day job as well?

It's kind of a serious hobby. I enjoy it.

In Espruino the memory leaks are always almost the variables. So you can do say process.memory() to see if indeed your memory is decreasing, and if it is, then you can E.getSizeOf(global) to see which variable it might be. It's still javascript at the end so, standard techniques apply.

Yeah I like the M5Stack boards, they're quite interesting. I use the their StickC. The orange one. It does take time for sure!

I believe that setting the right example is of paramount importance when fighting climate change. No realistic amount of financial compensation can make a difference, because it sends the wrong message.
> - in Italy workers protection laws are very strong and it is an even stronger political topic, there are entire regions depending on the production chain of luxury Italian brands. Reconversion is not as easy as it looks.

The main problem is not workers protection, which are quite stronger in Germany, but historical lack of innovation. The government gifted billions to the Italian automotive industry just to keep factories open, not to innovate or produce good cars. The result is an automotive sector that requires special exemptions otherwise it is at risk of dying.

The expertise required to build a factory of high quality batteries probably doesn’t even exist in Italy and attracting engineers from abroad is extremely hard if the entry level salary of a German engineer is higher than the total compensation or an Italian engineer with 10 years of experience.
the designs are widely documented, I'm not going to explain that here.
https://youtu.be/kZRg0_B0XX4 - Yeah this absolutely looks like an act of terrorism!

(Actually, on a serious note, the person going there with the sole goal of stirring up the protest is more likely the one to be the terrorist, no? I'd say taking away that sign and even potentially removing the person is actually de-escalating. But you should obviously let the police do that.)
It's worth everything - without these small dribs and drabs there's no social media at all.
Innuendo is good, though, because you you can employ it to hide things that you don't want the reader to notice.

In this case, if GP were to use factual sentences, this might have been one way to phrase "the covid infection graph was flat in Denmark until government lifted the mask rules, then it dropped, and this shows that masks were harmful". The problem with such factual statements is that the error is plainly visible (the graph wasn't actually flat, the case count was dropping steeply). Phrasing using innuendo allows GP to hide the factual error. The intentionally imprecise language hides a lack of accuracy.
If that is the case why did Peter himself say a covid vaccine was impossible at the Nipah conference in 2019?

As others have pointed out, disabling password-based logins for sshd is a must.

You can also go further if you like: Put the sshd service behind WireGuard (or spiped). Then malicious actors will never find your SSH ports.
