Galvanic isolation probably wouldn't have prevented this fire, it sounds like the cells just shorted together. They would have had to short over several cells, since a non-trivial voltage is required to break down coolant, so having maintenance contactors to break the pack up into 20V or so segments may have prevented this fire.

Using a mineral oil type coolant that is not electrically conductive (such as used in Tesla vehicles) would have also helped to prevent this fire.

The batteries should be galvanically isolated from the casing so that if liquid causes a current flow from any point in the pack, then the maintenance contactors can be opened and the opposite side current path for the leak is interrupted. We can only assume that they are already (galvanically isolated) since anything else would be bizarre.
> I think their OS department just got a little bored and decided to create Windows 11 regardless.

100% agree with this statement. The Windows II UI is a pointless update[1]. They could have rolled all the backend improvements into a Windows 10 feature pack, but apparently didn't want to do that.

Not to even mention that they hadn't even finished building Windows 10!

In addition, wildcard forwarding isn’t a perfect substitute because email spambots love sending to addresses like webmaster@mydomain.com or john.doe@mydomain.com. The number of permutations they try is varied enough that an explicit allowlist is a must.

It still could.

> Everything is still tagged to your identity, i.e. @mydomain.com.

If your domain is tied to your identity, then yes. But to be extra clear, this should have said "Everything is still tagged to your domain" as not everyone has their domain tied to their identity. I for example have my domain setup njal.la with zero personal details attached to the domain itself, either publicly or at njal.la.
The point of terrorism isn't especially to kill "a lot of people" (although that helps, obviously); it is to terrify. Many recent terrorist attacks killed relatively few people, yet were extremely effective in terrorizing.

Should the first car of a TGV explode at 350+ km/h I think it would work as a terror attack.

Yet, although train security is nil, it never happens [0]. I'm not sure why. My first guess is there are not that many terrorists. We probably could ease the security on planes with few ill effects.

[0] There has been train attacks or hijacks but no bombs AFAIK.
Tesla’s model is they both sell the Megapack system and then orchestrate it over its lifetime using their Autobidder platform. The owner is responsible for financing, integration with on site generation, and working with the local grid operator.
Yeah, that's impressive. A little too impressive.

Does OP have any documentation on how this latency can be achieved and measured?

You can also do things like a wildcard on a subdomain like dodgywebsite@auto.yourdomain.com.

Otherwise subaddressing with + works well with most mail hosts other than Microsoft Exchange / Office365 (which have had endless problems).
Fail2ban can protect any kind of application, not just SSH.

Allowing citizens to initiate enforcement sounds like a potentially good idea. Are you saying that citizens can prosecute police on behalf of the state? Where has it been tried before?

I might have some reservations with this, but proving that cops committed crimes is actually extremely commonplace. It happens in criminal courtrooms on a daily basis, as the primary vector to get evidence thrown out against a defendant. When cops commit crimes while gathering evidence, those criminal actions taint the evidence.

The problem is that nobody ever prosecutes the cops for the crime. The evidence gets thrown out, criminals walk free, and then nothing happens after that. It would be nice if the same defense attorney that proved the cop acted unlawfully could follow up by putting the cop in prison.
It is my favourite vector tool on Linux and Mac. Once you get the hang of the alignment tooling and the export formats, you can get very professional results.

Cost-effective grid-scale electrical storage technology using iron-air batteries is developed and will be rolling out within two years. It takes time to ramp up production, but the investment is locked in. Volume H2 and NH3 synthesis will take longer, maybe ten years.

We are already realizing benefits from wind and solar. Storage and lots of HVDC transmission lines will be needed at some point in order to be able to turn off the other sources.
One, quite famous, Roman surname is Caesar. Unlike the modern english pronunciation of his name, the pronunciation follows what you have written: Kaesar.

In Germanic this morphed into "Kaiser", which is the german word for "Emperor". I find it quite interesting how the status and power of this one man was so widely recognized, that his surname was already used during Roman times (and still is in the German language) as a title for someone holding utmost power. Originally, the name Caesar likely just meant "a hairy person".
I doubt that he could hold his breath so long again right after like that. He probably needs to spend a while getting air before he could go back down.

I wonder if there's a multiple-dive discipline of freediving, maybe the deepest you can go 3x successively, with only say 15 seconds of air in between each dive.

I believe the user is saying that AZ planned ahead to end the necessity of using too much CAP water, which would mean that the Colorado River declaration won’t devastate their industry/ag. Reading some of the articles on its water authority website seems to bear this out, but certainly a lot depends on good management of their renewable sources and how strictly new construction like Intel’s is held to water reclamation standards (Intel is claiming to be a net positive contributor to the water supply.) https://new.azwater.gov/
How do you implement that? I have a whitelisting transparent proxy for my kids (contrary to the popular meme around here that all kids are NSA grade hackers determined to defy your every attempt to protect them, it's uncontroversial in my house and works very well). I use squid for that and have a shonky web UI I made to access the logs and update the whitelist acl. I'd like to make it more capable (stuff like temporary unblock like you mention). AFAICT the only way to do such things is writing a squid "helper" that runs as a separate process (/processes). Is that what you're doing?
I mean isn't that kind of the same thing just a little bit more specific?

Then you start to think of this in a modern mass media world where the scale of influence is global and things get even more insane.

SONET has optical networking in its name. It appears to me that data not being transmitted over copper wires is a pretty crucial aspect of it... but really none of this matters as I was simply pointing out that TCP is not relevant to the speed record, in answer to the top two comments above, and not trying to make any absolute assertions about how the transport protocol works. So yes, you're right, I guess?

One of the big selling points of this idea, and why we wanted to partner with 1Password for it, is that it has to be easy! Sure creating a new password for every site is a good idea, but the 1P plugin makes it so easy that it's simpler to use the really secure password it generates than to come up with something yourself.

And this "generate a Masked Email right there in the form where you're using it" pattern means that the friction is so low that it's a viable choice - it's EASIER to do the safe thing, and that's the real game changer.

So if I understand it correctly, it's a statistical phenomenon. Looking at one particular (heh) collision, you cannot be sure. But if you run it a lot of times, the frequency of the occurence will be the tell-tale signal. And what the existence of the particle does is provide an additional path. It allows the pair to be formed in two different ways, which raises the overall probability. That right?

From what I can tell in engineering fields in industry, the biggest differentiator is the PhD tends to give you more autonomy.
Intel has built fabs in Arizona for a long time, this isn’t a new thing. They do this because of seismic stability and a lack of severe weather. Water isn’t a huge concern because they can internally recycle most of it.
This exploit is for a combination of fail2ban and `mail`. Reading how it works, it seems much more of a vulnerability for anything using the `mail` command than in fail2ban per se.

That ~! escape is really dangerous. What percentage of sysadmins are even aware of its existence? I can see how it can be useful, but there is a lot of potential for exploit if you aren't extremely careful.

The `mail` command shouldn't so easily accommodate executing arbitrary commands from input. The ~! escape should probably be either removed from `mail` entirely, or enabled only if you pass it a flag. It seems like a vestige from an earlier, more innocent time.

This isn't to absolve sysadmins who fail to sanitize their inputs, but let's not make their job so difficult.
I suggested this feature as a paid option to Bitwarden, hopefully they'll add this.

For now I'm using Firefox Relay, but the 5-email limit (without a plan for more) is a showstopper.

The pricing page is perfect
I got one at 24 with 11+4+4 years of schooling. Most had it by 26-27 with a year or two more schooling in there somewhere. But an organic chemist prof told me that one has to run n reactions to get out. You can spend the time to do 2/day or you can complain how long grad school is.
For extra fun, there are (or at least were) multiple implementations of the mail command. The arguments were similar enough, but an old (and replaced) system at a previous employer required Heirloom mail/snail, not BSD because it actually intentionally used escape sequences like this.

In particular, it used one to add attachments (by giving the path).

We replaced it with Perl, getting rid of the shell script entirely (the whole stack was Perl).

Shell scripts really ought to use the sendmail command to send mail, but then you have to remember those obscure options to pass and generate the mail headers yourself, so it's understandable why no one does. (And probably handle dot-doubling).

Which is touched on; you don't need to evaluate game states, you merely need to count them. A game that ended with X or O before the board filled out could still have additional Xs and Os written on it; while that would "lose" the winning state, it's immaterial since you aren't interested in the state, just the outcomes (or, possibly, the ways to get there).
scientists saw observable levels of the toxic metal in about half

As a former analytical chemist, we can detect most metals down to the parts per trillion or lower.

So the more sensitive our instruments get the “more kids have lead”.

With sufficiently sensitive testing you’d probably find lead in 100% of people.
From the next two paragraphs:

"Despite that, there is a power to performance dressing and no one knows this better than monastic orders. Many monkish rules on dress would not be out of place in a modern company handbook <clip> ... <clip> One of the first things a new monk did on entering the monastery was to step out of their old clothes at the door and into new robes. The two worlds were separate, and dressing accordingly helped keep them that way."
It would be extremely easy to go onto a TGV (with a ticket), put a suitcase in the luggage compartment with a bomb in it, and not board the train.

There would be zero risk for the terrorist. There are no baggage check, and no one makes sure the owners of each luggage are on board. In theory each suitcase should have a label with the owner's name and address, but that too is not checked (and even if it was it would be the easiest thing to fake).

I just don't understand why it doesn't happen. I think the main reason is because there are very few actual terrorists, contrary to what everyone wants us to believe.
That sounds amazing. Something I’ve been wondering is if matrix supports specifying custom UIs for rooms somehow. For example, could a room have the ui of an issue tracker without it being through an additional program or website?

> That's not true. Modern nuclear power plants can move at 5% of full load per minute up and down.

Capable of doesn't equal safe and economical, though, which is why France's reactors are capped at 2.3%. This still doesn't affect the minimum load of about 45% either (the safe range is ~37% to 83%).

> France is doing load following country wide with its nuclear reactors.

No it isn't. Some reactors are being operated in load following mode. Not all and not most.

> In fact the French must be laughing at this energy debacle with their 75% share of nuclear energy.

This "energy debacle" affects France just as well because it's not about electricity (except for very few countries like Romania) and primarily about heating and industry.

The amount of natural gas consumed by France amounted to about 1743512 TJ compared to 1436443 TJ in gross electricity production using nuclear power in 2019 [1].

So France is using more natural gas (in terms of energy) than electricity generated from nuclear power, so much for that misinformed bit.

Question for parents commenting on this: rather than block the apps, have you instead just blocked access to the services instead?

E.g. blocking Instagram/Facebook/TikTok URLs from passing through your network? May seem silly and/or not even worth it but I'm curious about the different ways people are practically addressing this problem - control over the phone via app blocks, network blocks, taking phones away?

What's working for you?
Ask HN: Can anyone recommend a corpus of propaganda and other persuasive text?
I suspect this idea has already appeared quite a bit on HN already, but I'd quite like to train a language model to detect language intended to persuade. The model would then be exposed via an API so that I could build a browser extension which would examine social media posts and mark them accordingly.

Quite apart from the expense I'll incur training this model, I'm struggling to figure out a way of finding enough definitive propaganda to begin with given that it's such a subjective topic. Ideally I'd use a wide variety of propaganda types such as advertising, political propaganda, social media comments plugging a given product or service, and other categories of propaganda. Is anybody here on HN aware of any collections of propaganda I can easily ingest in a machine-readable form or failing that, have any ideas of how I could go about constructing one myself?

This is purely a personal project with no desire for monetisation, I'm just curious to know how much of my browsing does actually consist of propaganda given it's such a topic of discussion at the moment.
One of the engineers has suggested trying:

```cat <files> | promtail -stdin```

Though we like the idea as a feature request... "Have promtail support reading a file or directory and exiting once complete".

So we've put that on the plan.
> Funny how people always use self-driving to claim anything Tesla says will not happen.

They used this differentiator to presell hundreds of millions (billions?) of dollars of nonexistent software to their customers. It wasn't a one-time gaffe by the CEO. It's absolutely fair game. (But if you don't like that, pick one of their other products and compare initial the initial announcement to the actual first availability. They miss their initial dates, it's part of their culture of setting dates very aggressively.)

Again, I'm very pro-Tesla. I can also recognize that their projected timelines are fantasy, even when they ultimately end up delivering in the end.

> They are still globally outselling VW by 2x in terms of BEVs and GM and Ford are not close.

As a Tesla shareholder, this comparison is silly. None of those legacy manufacturers have released "real" EVs yet. An EV Jetta vs Model 3 is the interesting compare, and it's still likely some years out.
Yes! This is what I was predicting about a week ago on a HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28564387

I applaud the effort (Boston FTW!). But what can we do to treat the cause, instead of just the symptoms?

Stopping big-tech's tracking is cool, but strictly inferior to removing their incentive to track you.

How to do that? The ads are valuable for a reason – they work. If they stop working (or rather work less – it's a spectrum), then the collected data becomes just impotent bits filling up some HDD somewhere.

I feel the fix will be more along the lines of improving individual psychology and mental wellbeing, rather than entering the arms race of adversarial technology to block packet traffic (or whatever).
