I thought it was an urban legend and then somewhere in 2005/2006 I first spoke to one guy who claimed it was a bank in Tønsberg, Norway.

Later I worked with a IT manager who also confirmed it was such-and-such bank in Tønsberg. I have forgotten the name of the bank but I am still on friendly terms with him so I could ask next time I see him.

(My first draft of this post said that the first bloke had claimed to be in the room, but this is 15 - 16 years ago and the next story is also close to a decade ago so I might have mixed up who said what.)
Some time ago, a site called randomail proposed the same service, but it closed...
The problem is that registration forms often blocked randomail addresses, probably because the domain was on spam blocklists
It's a good motto. As is "do the work".
Arizona is literally one of the best places in the world for solar & storage, they have an unbelievably reliable number of sunny days.
These all seem like pretty unlikely issues in day to day life. I've owned a smartphone for over ten years, never so much as broken a screen, and it's extremely rare for my battery to die. Software has been extremely reliable. I already have a wallet case I use with my phone (so if I lose my wallet, hey, built-in tracking device on my wallet!).

This seems like a great physical ID replacement. If it were available in California I would 100% use it immediately and leave my physical ID in a filing cabinet at home forever.
I personally don't understand why they just couldn't use markdown or simple HTML 3.2.

As an aside, there's honestly not even anything wrong with HTML 4.0 as a format. Up until the beginning of the 2010s, it was perfectly practical to create a third-party browser implementation supporting CSS 2 and HTML 4.
What about the tail risk of mismanagement of spent fuel?
I tried to give Podman a go on Ubuntu 20.04 and it _worked_ but I could never get it going with a docker-compose file.

There is apparently support in the works, but I can't find or get that support on Ubuntu at this stage. Shame, I was hoping it might support IPv6 better than docker currently does.
My uncle had I think it was a Jeep Cherokee or something similar that had to be basically taken apart and reassembled with new wiring because for that model the manufacturer had used a new kind of wire insulation that mice apparently like to eat.
You've linked to the wrong article.
Yeah probably good advice, I try not to waste my time in the mud but I've been trying to make a point to call out this anti-intellectual bullying, which has been growing at lot recently.
As much as I love recursive algorithms, I couldn't agree with you more. Why do the clever and pretty thing, when it is better to do the less elegant but reliable thing.
What?

Edit: I will clarify that I’ve obviously not brought up other countries covid responses. I’m literally asking why this completely new equivocation could possibly deserve my response. It’s a confusing question to me, so I’ll clarify:

I do not care for this thought experiment. I did not solicit it nor will I help you out with your unrelated rhetoric.

I'll never understand why "don't put nonpublic stuff in argv" is such a hard concept. I especially don't get why 1Password knew about this vulnerability and chose not to care about it.
So, ok, without attempting to justify here, what's going on is that the word 'woman' (used in OP) and the word 'female' (used by you) are taken by some folks (an increasing tranche) to mean different things.

Like, I would consider myself a woman, but not female.

I'm not really interested in debating this; in my mouth, it's descriptive linguistics and anthropology, not an ontological claim.

I do however agree that the obsession my fellow progressives have with terminology belies a deeper fecklessness. Ultimately, it's a form of procrastination that distracts from deeper cultural transformation.

I would that we evaluate every speaker by the measure of their empathy.

When I was a PhD student in philosophy, we called this the 'principle of charity', and, like climate change, I feel its progressive loss with a deep sense of dread.

An ability to put oneself in the shoes of a very-different other is the hallmark of a wise person, and wisdom is retreating faster than glaciers.
I don't know what you mean by "be an asshole towards other people" - it sound like you can unofficially skip the occasional meeting, not call them off for being unproductive.

Yes you're right the functionality is the same. Thanks!
It's fictional for Verizon as well.

Check the corridor from San Antonio to El Paso along I-10. I regularly get zero service along that path for dozens of miles at various points.

And, it's not even the fault of towers--there is some weird "roaming" agreement in that area so Verizon doesn't want to carry the calls but still wants credit for that being "in coverage".
In the case of Markdown, the extra newlines are there so that you can write for two different kinds of readers at the same time. A text editor will show the unrendered state and a Markdown converter will take it to the rendered state. Both should be readable.

So the newlines aren’t “semantically insignificant” any more than comments are in source code. Just because they’re stripped during the conversion doesn’t mean they’re meaningless in the unconverted state.
Perhaps it's because it's only controversial to some, and only in the United States. And the fact that this "issue" is magnified by mass media.

It honestly isn't that controversial of an idea: a document stating that you're already registered to vote. That's it.

This is how it works in Canada: the address that Elections Canada has on hand for you (if any) is sent a flat piece of paper –not in an envelope either– that simply indicates that you're pre-registered to vote, and includes your home address, your polling location, and your poll number (which poll worker station you go to). The poll worker verifies your information with a second piece of information with your name + address: driver's license, passport, or piece of mail from a utility company, etc.

Personally, it'd be nice if I could opt to not receive and to not have to carry a piece of paper in the mail, and it sounds like this ISO standard + implementation can achieve that. (I'm guessing – I can't actually access the document)
Is there a database or "online myth/story" archive of wacky bugs like this and in the comments? These would make for great "cocoa at night" reading!

You don't need kernel scheduling for stackful threading. So-called green threading was common long before event-oriented asynchronous programming became popular with the advent of kqueue and epoll. See, e.g., https://www.gnu.org/software/pth/

That said, you can make kernel-aware user-controlled context switching much faster than it is currently: https://www.theregister.com/2020/08/10/google_scheduling_cod...
It could also be solved by government resorting to issue large numbers of an easy to get, "lorry driver" temporary visa for example of 1 year duration.
I can’t speak for Ubuntu, but all of my containers are setup in docker compose for podman things start find there is a couple tweaks like container name I had to make, but over all pretty straightforward. I’d recommend another go if you are looking for an alternative.

As I like rootless containers. I think the implementation feels awkward for local directory permission mounting volumes.
With the rise of autonomous trucking will also come a return to highway robbery. Seems to me the job of trucking will turn to the job of security. There will evolve long term fluctuations in demand as robbery and security vie for dominance.

Hi all, developer of Refined Hacker News here! Happy to see that it has been posted about again, thanks @jaytaylor! As stated in my previous Show HN for this extension, my philosophy behind the extension (as mentioned in the my comment) is:

> There are many extensions out there that add quite a few features to Hacker News, but they also always do one thing, which I have realised, is a slippery slope: changing the minimalistic design and style of Hacker News.

> I created this extension with one thing in mind: I am NOT going to mess around with the overall design or style of Hacker News. It's sacrosanct.

Thanks, I'm up for discussion! :D
Hey HN, we're Ian and Nik and we're a bit obsessed with data. Specifically, being able to own your own data and make it useful.

We're rethinking how we interact with and manage all the data in our lives. Data is all over the place now (computer, mobile, multiple cloud providers...) and it's more than a bit unwieldy. Not only is it unwieldy, you can also lose access to your data at the drop of a hat due to an outage, a policy change, or a bug. This doesn't sit well with us.

Of course, to really tackle this problem will be the work of years, so we're starting with something more manageable. We've created a tool to aggregate all your browser history and make it full-text searchable. If you've read something online, you should be able to find it again—quickly.

There's plenty of prior art in the search-your-own-history space, so why might you care? When we tried to find an existing product to fit our needs we were unable to find something that checks all of these boxes:

- All history, from all browsers.

- Fast. It should feel more like autocomplete than like web search.

- Completely local. No need to trust someone's server.

- No user input required. I.e. no need to bookmark. Store everything.

- No limits. Don't delete my history unless I say so (browsers will delete your history after a few months, 4 months for Chrome).

I'm sure we've missed a few though. How do you keep track of everything you've read online? Any workflows or killer hacks you've discovered?

Mars Helicopter - STATUS UPDATES - September 28, 2021 - 2,800 RPM Spin a Success, but Flight 14 Delayed to Post Conjunction

That's a pretty difficult question to answer, and the source data for this map certainly does not contain that information.

To even begin to answer that question, you have to define the problem a little more specifically first:

What does minimum upload/download speed mean? The minimum ever observed? By who? The minimum over a period of time? Through the entire network, or to the tower? Prioritized or deprioritized? Under what testing conditions? Under what usage patterns?

About the closest you're going to get is this: https://webcoveragemap.rootmetrics.com/
Yep, please do open an issue on Github! Best way for me to keep track of it.

And thanks for the kind words :)
This is probably it.
I totally get your points on technology, but I feel like sometimes people here become so focused on the risks that they forget about the good side.
Sharing my experience: I posted four Show HNs over the last 7 years

* Genewarrior.com: A DNA sequence manipulation tool for Biologist. A handful of upvotes, almost no feedback. But the website is still up and running, mainly because I am using it from time to time and I still believe it's one of the most accessible tools of its kind on the web.

* Sunlocator.com: an Android app for interactive Sun position calculations. A couple dozen upvotes and some good comments. My most successful project, the free version has more than half a million downloads and it generates some nice pocket money. Definitely still up and running.

* Touch Remove: an Android app to remove objects from pictures. A fewv upvotes, almost no interest. It's still in the app store but retired. There are much better apps out there that do the same job.

* Nuftu.com: the most recent one, a NFT minter for people without any crypto expertise. No upvotes, no feedback on HN. On the other hand I've received good feedback and some paying customers from Producthunt. So I'm still considering on how to continue (ramp up marketing?)
Well, you did not explain how the time to obtain visa matters so I don't know what to say. Companies do give offers to interns to return in a year or two routinely, the very same companies engage in the H1B. You can get a GC in a year easily, how is this different?

>But far less time - O(months) rather than O(years).

Did you mean it takes years to get a green card and months to get an H1B? (your O notation makes no sense, O(x) means that lim O(x)/x -> const when x->inf). Say you want to hire an H1B from abroad right now. In the best case he or she can start on October 1st 2022, a year from now. Or lose the 2022 lottery and then the next date is October 1st 2023, two years, and the 2023 lottery is not guaranteed too so it can take multiple years. On opposite with the green card you have fixed timeframes, it takes about a year to get a EBGC even through AOS, it's faster through CP as a foreigner would go and it used to be even faster before the whole covid disfunction.

>That's useless if it'll take 1-20 years (depending on the country of birth of the employee) for them to actually be able to work for you.

Then they should not lie on their application, because they literally affirm that it's immensely useful for them to get an immigration visa for the foreign worker they petitioned for. I think the DOJ is actually investigating FB right now for exactly this.
Chinese scientists eye hypersonic weapon able to ‘fry’ telecoms systems
There are multiple channels to evade phone based registration limits. Everything from free VOIP apps to SMS harvesting to SIM farms.
It's an expensive asset though. You'd think planners would only considered large missiles like this for nuclear weapons. There's got to be a risk that using a conventional warhead would get mistaken for a nuclear attack. I think hypersonic weapons will be largely stranded assets.
I don’t see why “publicly accessible data” is relevant: if I want to scrape my Facebook news feed and consume it as an RSS feed, I don’t see any justification for preventing me from doing this. The fact that I can see someone’s post in my web browser means I’m authorized to access that post.
Trucking is an industry that while it does have good jobs for people, it is just a pure cost for literally everybody. Everybody except the truckers themselves would benefit from lower trucking cost.
> A website is the property of the website’s owner.

No, for example the information a user puts on linkedin is that users property. The user put it on linkedin since the user wants the world to see it, so scraping linkedin to find candidates for a job doesn't violate anyone's property rights. Linkedin might still complain about server costs which is a valid concern, but they can't say that they own the data users themselves submitted regardless of what their EULA says.

Treating user submitted data as property of the host just creates lock in, I don't see any reason why that would be a good policy.
Developer of the extension here, thank you!

The original claim was simply that the miners could delete $100M, not that a single person could unilaterally steal it.

I think it's not impossible to imagine miners and nodes voting to hard-fork a coin because some genocidal villain, Mr LiterallyHitler, had a large amount of wealth wrapped up in it.
Domesticating rats takes about 20-30 generations. Squirrels, though, take about 9 months to mature; rats are much faster, less than 2 months, which is probably one of many reasons why we've domesticated rats but not squirrels.

Still, hypothetically, it should be possible to domesticate squirrels within a few decades. In foxes, domestication only took 7 generations, so it could even be faster.

Incidentally, I have a new startup idea: first you domesticate squirrels, then you produce a line of commercially packaged squirrel food and an "invisible fence" type system for "outdoor" squirrels.

Yes, the bill was not passed. Neither were any of the proposals for the last 3 decades. Why do you think that is??

I mean, it’s “obviously” just so easy. Do you have better answers than President Obama? Or President Clinton before him? Or Bob Dole? Or John McCain? Yet with all their knowledge and connections, they couldn’t get it accomplished. Note that in nearly 20 years, Medicare for All bills only made it out of committee once. Why do you think that is?

Perhaps because it’s an enormously complex problem with lots of stakeholders and lots of competing interests. One that doesn’t get fixed by just copying a different model that operates outside of the U.S. constraints.

You still never addressed why those bills don’t pass. It’s like your answer is the trivial (and useless) one that “it’s because not enough people voted for it.”

Saying “we already cover 100MM” doesn’t explain how it can be more than tripled. I didn’t claim it can’t be done, I’m asking why none of the proposals have worked out so far. I’ve never claimed the US “doesn’t know how”, I’m saying they haven’t shown political will to implement it. I’m asking for a pragmatic answer that shows why it hasn’t worked despite previous efforts.

I’m asking for your opinion why that’s the case that nothings has been passed in the last 30 years despite the desire among many, many people to do so. I’ve already outlined a few examples that you just blow past for the naively simple answer. That’s not helpful nor does it demonstrate anything beyond a simplistic understanding of the problem.

I have no problem accepting an answer that actually shows an understanding of the complexity of the problem, even if I don’t agree. I’ll help you: I think the very first problem needs to campaign finance reform. Because without that, any proposed bill that goes against the monied interest is dead in the water. But that’s just the first of many things that has to happen before the bills you’re talking about have any chance.
There was a reddit post about it (something like "I reverse engineered TikTok and found blah blah"), but it was likely fraudulent. There was also that iOS bug with clipboard notifications. I think those were the source of most of the hubbub.
The economy as a whole never reaches equilibrium. Think "eventually consistent".

But please release a linux version ASAP :)

I’m also not sure if I like that is’s always running in the background, not because of privacy but because it just seems a bit unnecessary - something that I use maybe a few times in a week and that’s nothing more than a search engine shouldn’t be using system resources all the time
The problem is text rendering that exceeds what a VT100 can produce. As soon as you enter that realm, your browser complexity goes exponential.
It's not nostalgia. It's an observation that the middle class is shrinking. There used to be lots of jobs that supported families that are now subsistence labour. "Well, you shoulda been a programmer" is not a satisfactory solution to the problem.
Poland? 20% of Poland lives in poverty while the poverty rate in China is 3%. China is doing much, much better than Poland.
I hadn't thought of that, but good point!

A truck driven by a person feels very different than a robot.

Not sure that putting people on security quite fixes that, though, as they'd need to be properly kitted up to engage with raiders. That probably looks even worse, though. It's the story of a bunch of plucky underdogs liberating a load of produce from a robotic truck guarded by heavily-armed thugs.

Reeks heavily of Hunger Games.

“All Rivian has to do is build a ton of them, handle service and repairs, and not run out of money.”

I honestly wish them the best of luck. Those are a bunch of hard things to get right and definitely the things established brands have in their favor. It will be better for the world if we can have more electric options.
Isn’t this the opposite of “listen to your users”? If you built a platform and you think it’s for x, and your users use it to do y, isn’t y what you should be focusing on, in the sense of Lean Startup/Build Something People Want?

> In addition to the need to point out that "shortage" just means "I don't want to pay market rate"

I'm not very familiar with the trucking industry and I wont question your assertion that the shortage is (at least in part) caused by below-market-rate wages, but I think it's more complex than that.

We're in our second recession in less than two decades. During that time, demand for trucking has skyrocketed. And all the while rising gas prices and impending automation loom over the industry.

As I understand, many truck drivers own their trucks and those don't come cheap. I suspect there are few willing to make that investment considering all the things I just said. I suspect wages are low because the industry is taking advantage of those who already made the investment.
Westerners really will do literally anything about climate change except reckon with their corporate overlords who by far are the biggest contributors to climate destruction.

Get real, your app using 15% less power makes literally zero difference. If you want to make a real difference, nationalize and seize energy corporations and whip them into shape under planned economic management. Anything short of that and climate disaster is inevitable.

But of course, they will never do that.
Thanks for the feedback. Shouldn't be a big lift to add linux support (it's electron after all). We just wanted to get this out the door asap and hopefully receive some community pressure to add a linux build step
I don't know anything about the author, but the breathless praise combined with questionable analysis leads me to think this is a PR puff piece.

For example,

> The instant you start letting off the accelerator, the motors start braking and feeding energy back to the battery pack. This is especially helpful for off-roading, which requires lots of careful stopping and starting.

This could very well be true, but how did the author come to this conclusion in the context of a test drive?
Do you know how to drive a truck? I don't. It takes time to learn. Increasing wages for truck drivers doesn't make it faster to learn how to drive a truck.

> It's supply and demand. Supply is low, increase pay and supply increases.

And demand decreases. But sometimes demand _can't_ decrease, and that's another source of shortages.

If there's not enough food to go around you can't just raise prices to solve the problem (well, you can, but it's not really an acceptable solution).

Point being, shortages are a real thing.
