The US didn't invade countries and kill millions of people, and the US gained absolutely nothing in terms of natural resources including Oil. Iraqi Oil contracts went to European players like Total. There is no Oil or anything else of material value in Afghanistan.

When you have a new truck but an old trailer, you'd just show both papers when being questioned about it => everything is fine.
Interesting, thank you. Since I've never been to NA I just took the yellow turn lights for granted.

I can't believe the sunlight trick works. My brain always thought it was the sun that made it yellow! I saw this first on the Retro Recipes channel a while back where he shared some theories on the maybe how's and why's. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P1OVj0IcqY)

I was very skeptical, but I tried it out on my very very yellow Nintendo Famicon, as well as some smoker-teeth-yellow keyboard keys on an old Roland synth... left them out in the sun for a couple of days (2x3hours). It worked really well on both my test subjects! Certainly not perfect "retrobrite" white - but much better than I expected.

Around which time Firefox is intending to make the same changes, having deprecated v2 manifests (this post seems to use that term to mean the actual removal) and doing all the API swaps to service workers and the such. Firefox just makes all the same decisions Chrome does, the good and the bad.

Mozilla's main source of revenue has always been the money Google gives them to have Google as the default search engine. They could stop this at any time to effectively kill Mozilla. So, why haven't they? Because there's this case called United States v. Microsoft Corporation that deals with this very issue of browser monopolies. Now usually a lawsuit wouldn't mean dick to Google because they already have a litany of lawsuits against them that their star legal team is hired to handle. But in this one narrow instance a precedent case is massive, and were Google to kill Mozilla, there would be a league of lawyers jumping over themselves to sue Google on this. Why? Because it's a slam dunk, and would at best force Google to say "hey, you can download Chrome, or you can use these alternative browsers" everywhere there's a Chrome download prompt, or at worst force them to split up. They don't want that.

Regarding Mozilla's direction, we already have years of evidence. It all starts with Brendan Eich's resigning. Whether you agree the reasoning is immaterial; that decision lead him to start a direct competitor that is now fighting them for the ever-shrinking demographic of people that don't use Chrome. And then there's stuff like acquiring Pocket, something completely antithetical to Firefox's core values. Money-wasters like FoxOS (or whatever that mobile OS was called) that distracted from Firefox. And then lots of tick-tacky stuff like FF devtools being inferior to Chrome for years (people say it's better now, but I don't care to check it out, I've been using Chrome's for years), over-focusing on frivolous things like social justice issues. It will be death by 1000 cuts that kills Mozilla from the inside.
I heard a Duck Duck Go ad on the radio over the weekend and I thought it was so odd. But now having read your comment I realize it’s probably one of the most “trusted” ways to advertise privacy software/webapps because it relies on potential new users going to their site whereas online ads would probably (rightly) be looked at with suspicion.

> Doesn't chip making a lot of water

Can anyone share an insight on why this is the case? (I'm assuming it is true because I've heard the claim quite often on HN.)

It's not really obvious to me where water is consumed during the fabrication process. It doesn't end up in the chips, so where does it go? If it were just used for cooling, it would be returned somewhere.
As long as you are sitting or moving naturally, motion sickness is pretty much solved for most people. Refresh rate and tracking are good enough these days.

Where motion sickness is not solves is with artificial locomotion, e.g. using to use the joysticks to move around like in a regular FPS game, that will still make most people motion sick to varying degrees, but many will get used to it after a while.
Isn't twitter banned in China?

I have an M1 mac and on standard configuration it’s unusably slow. I’m talking about 1 FPS. In low resolution mode (removing the high res flag from the manifest) it’s just usable (and still painful).

I have yet to try it, but maybe there’s a way of going through XQuartz, which might help. I hear they recently switched to GTK’s direct Quartz backend, which I can imagine is causing the problems.

My wife is in HR at a large international tech company. The number of people that want to work remote 100% of the time has been steadily dropping for the past year. People mostly want flex time now ... 2-3 days in the office max, no Fridays ... but the do want to come into the office.
Not on by default for 1 to 1 chat but it (Secret Chat) is optional, drawback is that the end-to-end encrypted conversation stays only on the devices initially it was initiated, because the encryption keys stay only on those 2 devices.

For Telegram Group Chat - it is not end-to-end encrypted, Telegram uses distributed infrastructure approach to protected data not covered by End-to-End encryption. I wouldn't consider WhatsApp's Group Chat end-to-end encrypted.
I spent a couple of years in SE Asia, and worked in Cambodia, and my comment is based on that experience. I had a fascinating conversation with one of my staff where she explained that to criticise one's boss was absolutely taboo. Roughly equivalent to taking a dump on your boss's desk in Western culture.

There's this whole concept of "social harmony" that we don't have in the West. And partly it revolves around respecting your place in a very strict social hierarchy. Criticising those above you in the hierarchy is "disharmonious" and not accepted.

I'm fascinated if you know this is different in China? I haven't been to China (yet). But my impression from the contact with the Chinese I have had is that (at least in this respect) the cultures are very similar.

Every time I search for something on DDG and there are no/few results, if I do the same query on Google I only get the insane spam/"hacked small business" websites with random SEO that redirect to arbitrary ads.

What I had heard was that the people of Rome lived around the hills, and the Etruscans sort of did the work of building a city and government, and the native Romans adopted their culture, grew through conquest of neighboring native tribes, and ultimately overthrew the Etruscans - but not before eliminating the legacy of their former masters.
Probably to counter the totalitarian communists by turning them into freedom-loving capitalists or something. But it so happens that freedom can't be bought so we ended up with a totalitarian capitalist (AKA fascist) China.
> We might think we invented WFH, but for the first monks remote working was standard. After all, God, much like 4G, is omnipresent. Yet the Benedictine guide makes clear that this privileged existence is often a struggle. Some early monks wept, constantly. Many said it was a sign of their faith – but, having experienced several lockdowns, some of us might be more tempted to diagnose the depression of enforced isolation and flat days on repeat, time without end.

It seems the author does not know anything about monks, people, WFH and whole lot of other things.

The title is Hell is other people and yet in article it is said that it's better to go to office because experiencing hell through other people is better than personal hell.

WFH is not like being a monk for God's sake. In fact, you can have very active social life and you get to choose people who you spend time with. Unlike in office where you are forced to get along with people you know nothing about.

From the article:

The Canadian Forces had to launch an investigation after a September 2020 incident when military information operations staff forged a letter from the Nova Scotia government warning about wolves on the loose in a particular region of the province. The letter was inadvertently distributed to residents, prompting panicked calls to Nova Scotia officials who were unaware the military was behind the deception. The investigation determined the reservists conducting the operation lacked formal training and policies governing the use of propaganda techniques were not well understood by the soldiers.
This is covered in the article:

> For complex projects that span several teams across different offices and time zones, leading such a project is a full-time job for an engineer. Big Tech pulls in Technical Project Managers (TPMs) to manage these complex, and often strategic projects, taking the load off engineers.

> Dedicated Program Managers or Project Managers still exist within Big Tech. They are typically tied to external-facing commitments and customers – such as a Program Manager for the Apple partnership – or to long-running initiatives, like a compliance program. Similar to how TPMs are not allocated to a single engineering team, these Program Managers or Product Managers also don’t tend to have an engineering team, but they work across many teams instead.
Normally a head-to-head comparison isn't properly done unless a company has already adopted Vitess and is looking to switch from that to a NewSQL database. Deploying a new database at scale is a lot of work. It's often the case that organizations pick one that has social proof and otherwise makes sense to them and go with that choice if they can make it meet their requirements. Otherwise they might have to triple their workload by comparing three different candidates while their DB is under pressure. And the comparison would likely show that one option is superior in certain ways, but that another option is better for other workloads, etc. Github had already spent effort developing and operating some MySQL coordination tools that they are probably still able to keep using them in their Vitess setup. Generally Vitess has that appeal that it seems to be similar to what you are used to and operationally easier to understand than a NewSQL system. With a NewSQL system the work of this entire blog post is unnecessary (you can still do joins, high availability fail-over is built in), but you have to learn to trust and operate a system that is initially much less familiar. Disclaimer: I work on TiDB.

I know all of this, but it's still a lot of effort that I'm apparently not willing to go to.

However I do at least partially do this. Whenever I use SO, I put a link to the answer in a comment next to the code that implemented it. Whenever a ticket or API doc requires doing weird stuff, I put a link to that too. Whenever I make decisions that might be slightly weird, I put a couple of paragraphs in the git commit.

Not the same, but still better than nothing I guess
It's a reasonable assumption, but that doesn't have much bearing on whether it's accurate.

> unlike their Chinese counterparts, they don't have any real long-term goals

China's long term goal is to become the top superpower. USA's long term goal is to stay the top superpower. Everything else flows from this but it should be very clear that "staying in power" is very much a real goal on any horizon. It also involves a lot of military, economic, and political effort. As a democracy the US can't have an equally concentrated aim but as the saying goes, getting to the top is easy, staying at the top is hard.

The biggest difference is really that the US is already in a top position, and a good chunk of the world, particularly the EU, have interests that are mostly aligned with the US. When they're not it usually takes no more than a bit of economic and political pressure from the US to get the desired results.

China does not have this support. The Western world does not have any reason to trust them, no real "relationship", and no guarantee that China would be a "benevolent dictator" like the US. I say "dictator" because the US successfully imposed its views/demands on the Western world almost whenever this was needed by dangling a tiny carrot and a giant stick, a situation most of the world is more or less comfortable with. So no reason to take chances on a country that could forgo the carrot completely, or just have completely misaligned interests.

To the point, people are arguing that China could use Chinese companies to undermine a foreign country, clearly making them a no go for anything secure. In contrast we also know that for all intents and purposes the US can do and did the same with US based companies. It's just about picking the view that supports your personal beliefs and interests. As a regular person, would you rather be spied on by the US via Cisco or by China via Huawei? As the US government this understandably isn't even a question.
2-4 million gallons per day is a lot of water to piss away for some chips that go out of fashion in 5 years.
A lot of Julia-based companies just hit big Seed A, Seed B, etc. rounds, with a lot more startups entering the space as well. There is a glut of Julia programmers in the industry now given all of this hiring. "Most employable" is hard because no one is in all places, but I can at least tell you that locally there is and will be a lot of hiring in the next few years here.
Yup, should require only a few adjustments.

Over here (NL) they're looking into repurposing the existing natural gas network to transport hydrogen instead. I mean we're years away from removing the use of natural gas entirely, but the idea is there.

"It's not the voltage that kills you, it's the amps!"
Wouldn't power (W) (or joules) be a better way to phrase it?
Because as you said, you can't have 100mA flowing through your heart unless you ALSO have stiff enough source to actually supply that current - which implies a high compliance voltage, can't escape ohms law.
I love the idea of doing this. Just like I do the idea of using Apple's "hide my email" feature. But in reality you're completely locking yourself into that provider. What if I want to change provider or the provider decides to sunset this feature. My logins are now split up so much it'll be a full time job getting them set back to my primary email address. It's a trade-off I guess because you can't solve it any other way from what I know of!

A mere protocol will never "hit the bigtime" without some compelling (non-protocol) reason. It's unfortunate that businesses choose to build silos time and time again, but that's where we are - it's not an issue that can be solved at the protocol level.

Should this be fixed (e.g. through regulation), XMPP is absolutely a sound choice - given, as you say, its 20 years of experience, evolution and deployment track record.

I do bi-weekly 1:1s with my people. Rule 1 of people management: everyone is different.

Some folks need 20 minutes, some want the whole hour. Some have bullet points to discuss, some just need a chat. When the pandemic hit the 1:1 became a place for some people to have vital social interaction. There's others who want to show off their work and receive guidance on next steps.

Reading through all these comments it seems like a lot of people have robotic managers who don't care about people at all. A good manager uses a 1:1 for understanding their needs as an employee and building trust.

I want to ensure my employees are productive, and the 1:1 is the best place to find out how.
It’s not about being stupid it’s about their self-interests versus all the folks who live in Arizona and depend on the water supply.

Remember intel’s modus operandi is increasing profits for shareholders.
There’s a lot of chemistry as part of the chip making process. Water is often an ingredient mixed with concentrated nasty stuff to get less concentrated, but still nasty stuff. Then they do something with it (like wash a part), but you can’t then effectively recover all the water.

This is how it was explained to me by someone who works directly on the process; I could be butchering the explanation.
> It's "no different to"..what?!

Having an out of date browser is as "dangerous" to you and those around you as driving in a car with flat tires. Declining to upgrade software because of aesthetic changes seems shortsighted to me.

> I don't agree that whether something looks "horrible" is completely subjective.

Let's agree to disagree.

> I've never tried to customize things for customization's sake, if you're implying I do?

I'm not saying you have, I'm saying I have customized things for change's sake, and since I stopped doing that and being overly annoyed and fighting changes "forced" on me, I adapted to most of those changes. I dislike when customization options are taken away. But I also understand that customization comes at the bottom of priorities of developers, and that is likely the right call to make for most applications.

It is a problem that upgrades aren't always an improvement on every axis, but staying on old network connected applications is manifestly not a reasonable solution.

You are right to be skeptical. I spend a lot of time blocking all the garbage people are sharing on Facebook. Things have gotten a lot better since I started, but it is far too much effort. Some of my friends spend way too much time looking for things to share instead of sharing pictures of their kids, looking at pictures of my kids and then going on to live a life. These are real friends that I do want to track so I can't block them.

Slowly facebook is learning that it needs to show me pictures of my friend's kids - even friends are rarely interact with though. Mostly because I've blocked everything else the algorithm might show me.
Given that there's numerous cities and countries that are suffering from water shortages, you'd think that the price of water would go up already. But it hasn't, because there's interests at play to keep the price of water relatively low.

Anyway you'd need different prices for different types of consumers, because it's a basic need for humans; you can't make water unaffordable for poorer people.

I'm all for increasing the price of water and electricity for big consumers though, so that they will invest more R&D into reducing their consumption. Because when it's cheap, they'll just use more of it without thinking. That's also why coal power was (is?) a thing for so long.
No. Brain alone does not define humanness. You can do a few thought experiments, such as:

lab-grown full function brain, would it be treated as a human?

lab-grown baby with brain development stopped at day x, would it be treated simply as a pile of meat?

adult after accident left with x% brain function, would it be treated simply as a pile of meat?

Just use your brain, you will see it is not that easy.
