I mean I think "some large entity (government, pharma company, facebook, etc) is screwing us over to make a ton of money or enact their agenda" is an idea that most people are pretty happy to subscribe to across the political spectrum, particularly in America.

Part of it is because we can see this shit happening in real time now - Epipen prices getting jacked up by the daughter of the currently-most-consequential senator (Manchin), who is basically refusing to enact even basic Democratic agenda items particularly in regards to healthcare, etc etc.

These theories just take on a different flavor depending where you are on the political spectrum. If you're on the right, Facebook is silencing right wing voices. if you're on the left, Facebook is silencing left wing voices, etc.
Firebase is offline-resistant more so than offline-first I’d argue.
common lisp supports type annotations. there is even an ML-type language impletmented in it (see coalton). quick lisp [1] is used for package managment, bordeaux-threads [2] for threading.

A few pieces of feedback.

Positive:

- Multi-cluster support is a great feature! That's the main thing missing from Kowl, in my opinion
- The UI feels clean
- Message streaming feels smooth, and the search feature is a great addition. Also love the ability to see a message for a given partition/offset, and that JSON messages are nicely rendered as JSON!

Negative/Feature Requests:

- The CleanupPolicy logic doesn't handle "delete,compact" (I see bug number 829 addressed a slightly related issue, maybe that logic could be expanded [1])
- When viewing Cluster -> Topic -> Consumers, it seems like far more is being loaded than just consumer groups for that particular topic. It takes much longer to load than, e.g., Kowl does for pulling the same information
- Similar feedback for when clicking on an individual consumer group (example URL path: "/ui/clusters/dev/consumer-groups/my-group"). It takes a very long time to load
- If any permissions issues are encountered while loading the individual consumer group, the entire request fails. That wouldn't necessarily be an issue, but it is when you're loading all consumer groups, and not just the one requested
- I don't see any docs on how to access a topic that is secured with certificates (Kowl's relevant config [2])
- If a schema registry uses a self-signed certificate (or one signed by a corporation's CA), there's no way to pass the certificate through a config or skip validation (Kowl's relevant config [3]). As it is, you get a 500 error in the API call, but the UI doesn't show an error

Overall, it seems like a fair bit of thought went into this! But there are a few quirks that make it very tough to use in a corporate environment with (perhaps excessively) large Kafka clusters with hundreds/thousands of topics, or secured with internal certificates

Attackers did not have to perform a sim-swap attack.

Coinbase provided a refund of the dollar value of the assets when they were taken, _not_ a return of the same assets.

I’d appreciate if you update your comment to be accurate; though I fully understand that you are being intentionally dishonest out of disrespect to HN users. And I fully understand that dishonest comments like yours are considered to be absolutely acceptable by Dan Gackle.
Emergency single-use codes. They can be printed and stored in a safe. Not every service with 2FA has this feature, I have no idea why. How hard could it possibly be?
I actually disagree here, nothing would have stomped down on their account support abuse faster than them being a bank and fucking over people.
> are there that many humans waiting in line to have a JSON pointing to a tweet

There are a lot of humans waiting in line for other digital assets that don't do anything, like Fortite skins. That's also just a row in some database, what's the difference?

That's been an argument for non-removable batteries, getting rid of the 3.5mm jack.

I find that argument strange: I've never needed my phone while showering or swimming. Some rain has never broken any of my devices. But I've had pain from non-standard audio cables (Sony Ericsson from the early 2000s and their expensive proprietary cables) and non-removable batteries (Huawei batteries losing like half the capacity after a little more than a year).
Looks good but it is centralised if I understand correctly. Same weakness as Signal or Threeema. Element [Matrix] should be prefered for decentralisation.
Very common in power transformers as it is used for cooling (heat transfer). In an isolation transformer used in a modem cooling seems unnecessary.
Nukemap has settings for airburst height (under "advanced options"): https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/

For a 10mt explosion at 20km height it shows a third degree burn radius of 27km. Chelyabinsk was ~0.5kt at 29km. Larger objects are expected to penetrate further into the atmosphere before exploding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_air_burst

I'm not sure how much time you'd have to evaluate size or distance, videos of Chelyabinsk show it pretty bright just a second or two after becoming visible. Length of infrared exposure determines severity of burn, so reacting early is helpful.

Anthropogenic global warming is scientific orthodoxy at this stage. You vastly underestimate the amount of evidence there is for this.[1]

You're wrong about climate change models. The first 1990 one was based on a simplistic energy balance model and did overestimate warming. But all the later models have proven to have been uncannily accurate. [2]

Do you expect reliability from a company who's motto is "move fast and break things"?
Yes, for very expensive paintings, and it takes incredible amounts of effort do it.

You and I, however, will never encounter any of this. It is the most niche of niche issues.

The Framework Laptop Is a Risky Gamble but I Love It
Yeah, Mt. Gox used to be considered a large exchange, the largest at the time in fact.
That's what mmap is for.
Okta architect here. It's hard enough getting MFA to work in a large organization where technically illiterate people are surrounded by coworkers to ask who have all figured out their RSA tokens or Okta Verify enrollment. Trying to manage this for the general public would be an incredible undertaking.

The cost benefit analysis probably does not make sense for a gazillion low balance users. It may make sense to enforce strong factors for high balance users. You have to balance that against them taking their business elsewhere.
There’s no such rule. Even running a monopoly itself is not illegal, it’s only illegal if you leverage your monopolistic position to prevent competition such as temporarily cutting prices below cost to starve competition.
Ideally yes, you’d make some effort to make your app accessible by a screen reader.
Don't accept news sources that ąre not user funded.

Advertising is really just bribes for positive press.
It sure acts like one.
Thx, & Yup Aerospace (I work in that industry too) is VERY strict about information control, and a wide variety of info is unclassified, but designated as 'Controlled Unclassified Information' - 'CUI'.

There is a whole system of qualifications to even access CUI, along with requirements for it's handling. We must even check a database to verify whether any supplier, partner, or customer has the required qualifications to broadcast it, and there are serious penalties for breaching it.

If Blue Origin is doing any DOD work, a lot of their technology will fall under this classification. Broadcasting even descriptions of it to the general public would be a serious violation, and really stupid in this instance, as the soon-to-be-former employer will also be pushing for your prosecution.

But unfortunately, HN is not immune to postings with less information and more attitude.
Upon seeing this, I can’t help but think of “So What’s Wrong with 1975 Programming” from the author of Varnish [1].

Good. Spending $1tn every year on fighting invisible enemies should absolutely have repercussion.
Engineer to solve the problem. Not banter online.

My problem is people take a slogan like best practices and copy-paste in every new framework because it’s de facto best practice.

If the business is one of 1,000 todo apps, sure copy paste.

But it’s new hardware best practices are different and we ought to acknowledge that software use case isn’t as uniform as electronics, where Ohms law and material waste are coupled to waste.

Language choice and syntax choice depends on the problem as the team sees it. Avoid buffer overruns, sanitize inputs.

There you have it; software best practices.
This is a travesty! I want names! Each one of these drones should have a name!

If a cyclone can get her name, why not the drone that went through the cyclone?!

Therefore Saildrone Explorer SD 1045 from here on is named Tippy McTipity.

Cheers to Tippy! Well done.

(Pay attention Ms. Allen. The NOAA could use a good public naming promo for any other drones that did cool stuff!)
Zuck's gotta talk to the product owner who schedules it as a priority item in the backlog for the next sprint; the architects and the UX people will draw up some sketches but this is all the way from the top so there's no time to waste, so the developers start at the same time. Schedule four daily status meetings to make sure everything progresses as fast as possible! Of course the developers don't have the requirements yet so they need redo everything the next sprint. Then a sprint for QA and that's about 1200 man-hours of work in a large organisation.
I'm curious to know if there are studies involving actual Covid-19 cases being treated with Ivermectin. If not, why? If yes, what are the results?
I figured it was because Mark Zuckerberg misread SNOW CRASH as an instruction manual rather than a satire and a not-necessarily-affectionate parody of 80s cyberpunk fiction.
Chinese military urges US to ‘correct mistakes’ to improve defence ties
I think a better option is for the pharmaceutical corporations themselves to reduce both their advertising budget and their shareholder dividends and pour those funds into their own independently financed research institutes (see Bell Labs for the model followed in the past).

The best way to encourage them to do this is to eliminate exclusive licensing of inventions financed even in part by the taxpayer, i.e. NIH, NSF funding etc. Under this model, Merck would still be able to produce the drug but any other competitor could also produce the drug, and then you'd have a competitive production process (see steel production etc.) which would, I believe, create the highest quality products at the lowest cost to the consumer.

Presumably for a similar usecase as SQLite [0]. Performance. You can beat the OS, and by a noticeable margin, by doing things in memory and avoiding the I/O bottleneck.

Yes, but for me, at this point, it has gone from being informative to just peddling fear. We've been fear mongered for at least 15 years now about climate change. Everyone knows it's an issue, enough with the fear mongering. They're just doing it to sell papers at this point I feel.

Just think, a group of 5 year olds will have a career as journalists writing the exact same articles about climate change in 20 years, just like a group of now 40 year olds did when they were 25, 15 years ago.
The difference is that fires predictable, and you can have controlled wildfires. There's no such thing as a controlled financial collapse. I agree that the fed intervened too heavily during the pandemic, but I think that 2008 struck the correct balance of intervention. Several financial institutions went bankrupt and most others lost over 90% of their market cap.
Roadmaps! Like those spicy ICOs in 2017! I wonder if 90% of them failed, or is it 95%?
That's a safety feature as much as it is an efficiency feature, it allows you to safely furl the blades when you are overspeeding, you can't rely on anything that isn't directly connected to the rotor base because it might be jammed, damaged, out of power or missing entirely. The blades governing themselves is the ideal, the linkage is there for synchronization and balance purposes only.
As a past victim of a compiler that used simulated annealing to optimize- you can get reproducible builds if you control the seed. It still becomes hell when you need to target an optimization to a specific spot. Or if the optimization is actually flawed.

So, as much as I admire the thesis, I'm going to disagree on the "sadly" part :)
Very cool, but obviously hard to tell scale. Does anyone with more expertise have an idea of how large those swells/waves might be?

Edit, after RTFA:

Yes, but that's using an external actuator, rather than weights that pull the blades to their new angle.
> Bitcoin is not a currency, and it's not used for anything

Is that so? I just tipped bitcoin to a twitter account I enjoy (using lightning network). Keep lying to yourself..
