There was the same discussion a few days ago on another post. It's not a fair comparison. You can hardly hijack a train. Even if you manage to get control of the train, you cannot land it in a tower full of people. The worst you can do is make it de-rail which, while it will probably kill a lot of people, is unlikely to kill all of its passenger. And if you carry a bomb you will blow at most one compartment.
Also, with train, even if someone manage to get to the driver compartment, you can still control a lot of the train from the outside. You can change its direction at exchange point, you can cut its supply in electricity (if it is an electric train) therefore stopping it (although in quite a dangerous way...). And you are still on the ground were it is very easy for police / military to catch up and intervene. You can't do that with a plane several kilometers high in the sky.

Planes are much more sensible to all of those potential threat. That is why we ended up with such drastic security. Although I have to say, in a lot of places, security is way more relaxed. If you travel from the E.U to the E.U you have way less check and queue time.

Imgz's pricing page made me wonder - if someone stops paying their dues for their imgz account, is it legal to auction off their photos 'as-is'?

I feel this would be similar to all those "storage wars" type shows where people buy a storage unit on auction after a preliminary look-see.

@stavros - if legal, put this in your ToS. "Clear your dues or else..."
Probably because v2 extensions haven't been switched off yet. It might be different in January 2023; or maybe the limited adblocking of v3 will be enough for most people. Time will tell.
No, it's not salient at all. It's a research report from the University of Oxford:

There's hardly a connection in Europe which does 4600 km in 12 hours (maybe China has those?), let alone a sleeping one. I doubt if European countries would ever build a super-fast 4600 km line which goes mostly through farmland, deserts and desolate mountains. China has one (to Tibet), but that's mostly for political reasons.
Other browsers don't so what you say or are slow to do so for the same reason that the EFF will likely never publicize such an ad campaign against ad-blocking. Not-for-profit organizations of all kinds optimize for either wasting revenue or wasting effort. Just look at where all these organizations are, like Mozilla/Wikimedia/EFF, compared to where they were 15 years ago. They consume more and more money while doing proportionally less with that money. What would have been obvious decisions back then that could be implemented in short order now require bureaucracy that ultimately sidelines what's important for what will inflate the egos of suits. (The same happens to for-profit companies, but that's usually more a function of time and scale rather than time and incentive.)

I suppose there are browsers like Brave that would be in the position to implement Chrome features, which I guess happens by default. But let's just say in the situation where Chrome implements something that doesn't show up downstream in Chromium; Brave's interests might not be in competing directly with Chrome but focusing efforts on BAT/crypto and replacing ads.
I tried it, but had to opt out again.

This is how I feel too, it was surprising (and educational) to see some commenters having trouble accepting that someone might have just made a thing for fun. I think it's the fact that you can buy it that trips them up.

I imagine Cards Against Humanity got a lot of the same comments.
Yes, indeed.

1. From a technical standpoint, it just meant swapping Oh My Fish for Wahoo and changing the name. But my complete lack of planning led to numerous issues that escalated to falling out with the team. I was new to FOSS, immature and reckless.

2. Absolutely. You can't take back gifts that you gave away in the first place. I could've looked for another way, but sadly, I didn't.

3. True. I felt slighted, and used that feeling to justify myself, but in hindsight, I was only being selfish.
yes, you can add any room your in to a space you've made
The only examples I could find were of people uncomfortable with the automation, but not scared of an accident. Also no actual accident. Do you have a direct link?
Hahah, that's a great idea! Maybe I should start auctioning off sealed accounts, and you see what photos are in there when you buy it.
Yep! Fastest way is to right click the Space in the sidebar and choose "Add Existing Room"

How to Find the Right Appliance Repair Expert in Coquitlam
The appliance repair in Coquitlam is the duty of assisting the employer in installing, adjusting, and repairing any number of appliances. It is the technician who goes to the premises to install, adjust and repair appliances. The technology that he/she uses includes computer software that enables him/her to install, adjust and repair any number of appliances using machines called routers.

From the article, emphasis mine:

> The tweeters, it was discovered, appeared to be part of a fake band of PRC groupies. Impersonating British citizens, they exist solely to manipulate public opinion, and push the views of prominent UK-based PRC representatives, by parroting their stirring political propaganda in tweets and re-tweets.

A genuine account belongs to a real person who isn't participating on a platform solely for the purpose of astroturfing.

I'm mostly watching seasonal stuff so it makes it a bit more challenging. You'd need to know what comes out every season and scrape the discussion threads for that. https://anichart.net/ is an example of listing all shows each season. I wonder if it has an API somewhere. There are also rewatch discussion threads that pop up for older things that would be nice to have. Yeah, it's fairly challenging :). Could possibly scrape the top 250 shows from anilist/MAL which would cover rewatches. But seasonal would be the most useful.
I have wondered whether the 50c army will go global, and what would become of forums like this one if it happens.

Where can I find the Space specifications? I don't see it in the main documentation (https://matrix.org/docs/spec/), and "matrix spaces specification" in a search engine does not return anything relevant.
Instead of documented OpenGL drivers which could have cryptic bugs they used undocumented VGA modes which could have cryptic bugs.
Seems nothing's changed then ;)
This was fixed for me in November 2017 when Async Pan/Zoom (APZ) was implemented:

Also, Firefox 79+ on Android (August 2020) performs significantly better than older versions, despite having lost many features in the rewrite. The current version might meet your expectations.
I would have said so too before his investments in VR. Instead of Google's pie in the sky moonshot projects, he picked a tech that was just out of reach and focused an enormous percent of the company on bringing it into the present. He will be hailed as a Jobsian genius if he actually pulls off the next general computing platform, but even if not, certainly caught my attention.

I study war, and the general sentiment is that Bagram should have been retained by the US since Afghanistan is land-locked, which makes future intervention very difficult.

In both Somalia and Afghanistan, the US did not understand or respect Islamic practises, so alienated the locals, losing hearts and minds - you don't kick in doors in the middle of the night and confront families, fly around in helicopters showing the soles of your shoes, drone non-combatants, etc.

Beyond that, not sure what the US was doing about mining for the past 2 decades.

This itself is a victory. This means the subject needs more discussion or is too complex for a 5 minute meeting.

I prefer to spend 2 hours to make a subject clear to all parties rather than developing under a false interpretation and having to fix the issue through a grueling 5 day back and forth.

I think writing before and after the meeting is both desirable. Before to specify the object of the meeting and to limit its scope, afterwards to conclude and archive the decisions made.
So esoteric meaningless names are good.

Descriptive names are bad, because: I don’t think full self driving is full if there are any interventions.

(Despite there being a sliding scale of autonomous driving from levels 1 to 5 with FSD easily falling into 3 if not 4).

Teslas official literature classes it at level 2. But yep, super misleading compared to “Safe Sense” (aka forward hazard detection). Do you know what Tesla call that feature: “forward hazard detection” those bastards with their descriptive names!
Love it! Maybe show a small percentage of the photos picked at random in the sealed account to bidders...
The thing is that if someone wants to use a bomb to derail a train it may be easier to place the bomb on or near the tracks, which obviously bypasses any security onboard.

This was attempted on the TGV during the terrorist wave of the mid-90s in France but, fortunately, it did not detonate.

That being said, I think that they have X-ray checks now on TGVs.
> (Could be a language problem, naming a "bug" a "bag" for example, u and a are not even close on the keyboard).

I think this is reading far too much into nothing. He writes 'bug' correctly about 5 times. I'm not an expert in psycholinguistics, but I suspect there's a phenomenon where you can mangle your internal pronunciation of the word and hit the wrong vowel.
Twitter is just awful for so many reasons. I honestly think, of all the social media, the world would be most improved if Twitter disappeared.
First, there point was that this post seems to engage in similar tactics. The report existing doesn't mean this isn't some counter information campaign.

Second, the post links to an article about that report, and though the article mentions 189 twitter accounts the report only lists 62. Similarly, they don't show close to the 62000 tweets mentioned in the article from what I could see.
I should have said that the main distinction in the article was less physical v. electronic than "organized by me" v. "arranged by what the provider thinks suits me." That his examples of owner-organized are books and records might derive from the much longer history of physical libraries, personal or not.
When I was a kid, there was a traveling museum thing about the Etruscans. I will never forget the slogan: “Rome wasn’t built in a day. And it wasn’t built by the Romans.” Genius.
I can feel that too. Or a suitcase in the back. It's absurd you're telling me I haven't experienced this.

Luckily I don't have to be concerned with what someone who can't notice that believes: it falls to you to explain why there are so many lightweighting products on the market. Why do BMW offer a carbon roof that reduces weight by 5kg? Why did pre-refill-ban F1 only do partial refills? Why do rally co-drivers sit lower than the drivers?

Without commenting on China specifically, a few facts:

- The cheapest, safest way to "invade" the US (or any Western democracy) isn't through an army, but through manipulation of news, social media, and elections

- Indeed, if I'm Iran and I want Iraq attacked, it's much cheaper to manipulate the US into doing the dirty work than to attack myself.

- Much of the same is true of corporations -- a million spend lobbying can "buy" hundreds of millions in corrupt (but usually legal) profits.

- The checks-and-balances put in 250 years ago aren't adequate to defend democracy.

As a footnote: The second-cheapest way is through asymmetric attacks, such as cyberattacks, and increasingly, bioattacks. I don't want a debate about COVID19 origins, vaccines, or what-not (please don't), but the fact of the matter is that engineering a virus like COVID19 is within the grasp of most nation-states. That vulnerability went from theoretical to very, very visible. Genetic engineering will only get better. It's not implausible that soon we'll be able to engineer viruses which lead to long-term disability, decrease the IQ of a nation, or are at least somewhat selective by ethnicity (of course, once released, all bets are off). It's definitely possible to have vaccine-in-hand when releasing a bioweapon.

Another limitation is that you can't pin chats on desktop/web.
Remember when Wikileaks revealed the US has plans for cyberattacks that would be blamed on another country?

These days it's China this, China that. I bet it's West this, West that in China, too.

Everyone's been so polarized on this, this is exactly what warmongers in power want.
They likely dominated Rome at some point, but founded is quite a strong claim given the marked cultural, linguistical and artistical differences. There's no continuity at all to justify a colony outgrow.
Cool, we have a similar setup with dedicated databases for logically separated parts of the app. I work at an online classifieds platform built on rails. For example we have a listing-events database that acts as an event log for our listings. It’s pretty huge so having it on a separate db is great, mainly for rds storage costs.
There's a whole other side to this that is positive, because there's some truth to the phrase "The things that you own end up owning you".

Maybe, just maybe, owning less things could be to our collective benefit.
Problem is that these transport companies are one of the most affected industries by international and open markets. That had severe repercussions for prices for any form of logistics. Transportation is dirt cheap and highly competitive and that has an effect on wages of course.
The study in question had its own criteria. However in my experience, I'm not sure if it is important to distinguish between someone who "brought his own rations" or is a bonafide member of the 50 cent army.

Toxic nationalism, shifting premises, constant deflection and whattaboutism are all present. Typically the troll in question will claim to be a native speaker of a language they have a poor understanding of. Taken all together, the presentation exceeds credulity. If nothing else the end result paints the narrative in a light of inept desperation.

The issue isn't necessarily with the content of the message, but the ineptitude of the deception. There's a special delight similar to obliging a telephone scammer who has a poor command of language and an absurd pitch.
See Brendan's response to me last week[0], which I think comes down to feature set they want to support rather than do all the work it would require to build that in servo now (they went from gecko [no public info on this] -> electron -> and now chromium. they would have to migrate from chromium -> servo).

I wish they did, and just cared less about all the other features that were missing from gecko (but that's just be being selfish and not wanting to build out native stuff myself lol)

Are there "traces", or "environmentally damaging levels"? The language between the headline and body is inconsistent.

> The study found MDMA concentrations quadrupled the week after the festival

Compared to what?

And considering that cocaine is likely far more dangerous, would it not have made sense to give an idea how much more than normal is in the water?

... While we're on the topic of perspective, isn't it wild how little attention agricultural runoff gets? I'd guess it's an issue many orders of magnitude worse than Glastonbury's piss. I'd search for the issue on the BBC website to compare, but their dark patterns are a no-no.
> First, to even apply to medical school, you need a completely unrelated 4 year undergrads.

This isn't the case outside of the US which shows that the American track can definitely be compressed.
I agree. This a very US centric view and it's much better in Europe. But Europe is steering towards the US education model. A big loss, IMO.
You don't get it.

Trains are left to themselves, there is no surveillance.

Ill intentioned people can change dynamic of the attack, instead of needing 2 planes and use them as kinetic projectiles against buildings, they'd need an armed guy on 10 trains

The end result in terms of human losses is the same because a guy with a gun can go through each and every compartment and off everybody before the police would even know what's going on.

Multiply that scenario by 10 or 20 or 30 and you have the worst national tragedy in the history of the nation.

I am thankful because if people on HN can't conceptualize that, then the odds of some goatfuc*er in the mountains of Afghanistan doing it are even lower....but still people thought they could not conceptualize the attacks happened in the 2000s. Everybody remembers the first, but there were also London and Madrid.

For 'normal' (well, to a Briton anyway) bread I just bake my own. It'd certainly mould before the miserable squashes-sponge stuff, but it's broken down by stomach acid before it has a chance. (I live alone and bake & eat one (440g flour's worth incl. starter) every ~5 days I reckon, slightly more than one a week anyway.)
It's already happening. the 50c army vs the $0 army thinking they're doing anything useful with those arrows lol.

The pandemic is the best opportunity FB will ever have to push VR into the mainstream. Zuck has also been playing up that it could replace business travel post pandemic and there have been leaked specs for a Quest Pro that would deliver a very cutting edge productivity experience.
I had exact same experience. changed the registry settings in windows and am fine. Didn't have the nerves to find how to do on my mac and am just clicking discard every time. Annoying indeed. i wonder most of this shit is probably from the mozilla funding requirements to nerf the browser.

For eg. why tf would you put a separate scroll menu on tab right click to close tabs on left or right, it saves literally 1 row. and increases every single tab change to two clicks. UI disaster!!

i hope some group forks firefox and i will happily donate. But, due to current mozilla ceo siphoning money, not gonna donate a penny.
An idea: To strike a balance between flexibility for individuals / small groups, and security for the masses,

Firefox could let people side load add-ons used by less than say 1 000 people.

However once an add-on gets more than 1 000 users, only the first 1 000 can side load it; the others need to wait until it's been approved (reviewed).

My SO started a PhD program two years ago. We had to move across the country for it. Since then their PI has moved to another university in another state, so we had to move again as well. The new university is in a city. Our rent is $1900. Their income is $29,000 / year. They work 40-60 hour weeks. And this is for a paid RA position. The work of these students is what the group lives off of. It's sustainable for the institution, but it's awful and needlessly burns out driven and capable contributors. That's a standard case in academia.

Also as an MS research DSP engineer: I work with PhDs who know far less and are far less productive than me. In some fields, for industry, it may really be just a piece of paper.
