Assuming there is no video, or the video can be delayed to stay in sync. And it also matters for other real time stuff such as gaming. I suppose most desktop stacks are good enough for gaming, but that's something current Bluetooth audio is unusable for.
But that'll be a bad release in the good/bad pattern so they'll be avenged by the Windows 14 people.
> If someone like TeMPOraL makes a weird argument

Well, speaking of weird arguments... the one you make in the last two paragraphs is very weird to me. It's like... not how this is supposed to work, dangit!

My take has been: you reply to the person whose comment you want to address. You reply in parallel if you want to present your point standalone - as a counterweight to a sibling comment, but not something to be read as a direct reply. I like it when discussions follow a nice, logical order in the tree (hence I'm replying to you, and not to your parent).

Not sure how upvote/downvote tree pans out in practice - myself I upvote high-quality comments that I disagree with, and doubly so if someone else replies to one with a quality rebuttal, as to keep the whole subtree up. But I guess others have other patterns.

HN threads are usually small enough that I don't think it matters where a given discussion subtree is happening on the page. But I see the pragmatic value of your suggestion.

Yes, but they are interchangeable within a single slot. So you're never locked into one type of port. One day you need an SD card reader, the next you need an Ethernet port. Just swap them out.

Perhaps online communities which share those values would be a better fit for you than one that explicitly stands against those practices.

Ask HN: Why is “Verified by Visa” integrated as an iFrame?
The PSD2 regulation in the Euro-zone now requires two-factor authentication for online credit card payments. So for every payment with my credit card, "Verified by Visa" or "Mastercard SecureCode" pop up and ask me to authenticate. Depending on the bank, the authentication can require the same credentials used to login to the online banking account.

The authentication requirement is a bit of a hassle (CC network should bear the fraud risk), but the part that seems absurd to me is that the integration is done as an iFrame. That means ordinary users are now trained to enter their banking credentials on random websites—the opposite of what they learned in years of phishing education.

Does anyone understand how it came to this?
My old Acer C710 and my X1 Carbon also have dedicated pgup/pgdn/home/end keys in those locations. As soon as framework comes out with such a layout I'll buy a new panel.

"The fall of the 300-year old Romanov dynasty and 800 year line of Tsars in a weekend over 1917 a few months after an obscure prince named Felix Yusopov murdered a peasant scoundrel named Rasputin"

The enormous losses of the First World War had something to do with the fall of the dynasty, don't you think?

And precisely how stable was the government of Haiti in the years before Breton's speech?
I think the 6502 was in its disk drive IIRC.

I always wondered in those days why the disk drives for 8-bit computers were so crazy expensive. In Holland they cost more than the computers they were meant for.

But only later I learned that they were basically another whole computer themselves. Plus the drive mechanism of course which also wasn't cheap (but not nearly as expensive to warrant the high price).

It was the same for the Atari 800XL I had, I never owned a commodore 64.
Based on the changes to the set of large companies over time, they do in fact collapse and generally very few even last 30-40 years let alone hundreds.

Right, as I mentioned important stuff is encrypted before it hits the cable. However, my point was that by encrypting submarine cables we introduce a whiff of steganography into the play. Cables using encrypted data streams sans source/destination/IP addresses info make neutral territory - the ocean bottom - redundant for third parties to snoop. When forced onto land their presence is more likely to be detected and after cable station fanouts/distribution points the common tap points no longer exist thus greatly complicating their spying efforts.

This is a common claim but I rarely see it supported. My iPhone 6S from 2015 is fully supported by iOS 15[1]. I know plenty of people whose cars had day 1 drawbacks in the on-board software which were never fixed (or required paid upgrades in the $500+ range) — and that includes things like “the entertainment system will crash every time you connect your phone because you have more than a small number of songs / contacts” — and most people I know who own cars upgrade them more frequently than every 6 years.

It's strange to me to see variations of "I moved there, lived there for decades, made my millions, _now_ it's bad and I'm leaving!". A bit like complaining about mosquitos in the jungle after you've mined all the gold.
There could have been three million such responses. It still wouldn't change the fact that that's a logically incoherent reading of my comment.

The reason to use racial groups in my example, is first because I happened to know obesity differed between the groups, and second because it offers the opportunity to look at similar groups in different countries. This example shows that there is variance within the country and similarity beyond it, which I think makes a good case that the culture of the country is not what's responsible.

Regarding your point on violence, suppose it were the case that left handed people had a murder rate 100x higher than right handed people. Now, imagine too that the OECD countries, or whichever group you would like to compare America too, were 99% right handed and America were only 90% right handed.

Would it make sense in this case to say that American culture was the root of the problem with American violence if right and left handed Americans committed violence at the same right as their OECD counterparts? I wouldn't think so. I would think the explanation would be as simple as "greater proportion of more violent left handers".

I realize in the violence example that I've simplified and exaggerated the case compared to obesity. I am not claiming that obesity rates are similar to my example.

Ask HN: Where Are the Easy Jobs?
I have been combing over job postings, but I cringe at most of them. They all have this over the top description of what is expected of people and try to make boring work sound interesting.

How do I find jobs with reasonable expectations? I know most of these postings are probably just BS fluff, but then how do I determine which ones are or aren't?

I just want a job I can do without being constantly bored and frustrated.
It’s interesting how scientific journals are emerging as a source of information and ethical discussion (as they were originally) after being seen as transcripts of any scientifically relevant observation with a p-value below .05

More interesting is the tone of that article: not discussing, or looking at arguments but plainly stating that a crime is being committed at scale and condemning it the clearest way it can: publishing detailed evidence and stating a new editorial policy. The editorial policy feels strangely inadequate to the for-profit genocide that they describe but that’s the extend of the authority of the committee.
That doesn’t work. You’ll be accused of flame-baiting.

My experience with anything involving tcl/tk has always been suboptimal.

Also, we're specifically talking about shell scripts.

I'd argue that if you're implementing an entire protocol into a shell script, yes, you should consider more efficient languages. If you're just dumping data into a pipe like you would to std out, sure that's fine.

The key here, at least for me, is complexity. Are you bludgeoning shell scripts into something it wasn't meant for? Is there a better alternative meant to do the thing you're doing?

Zipper is best and I completely agree that "society as a whole" just doesn't understand it and are outright hostile towards the correct behaviour.

Whenever traffic is slow, I make a point of always driving up exactly towards the merge and just sliding into the flow of traffic. Many many times, someone will be pissed at that, either on the way there because my lane is free, sometimes for a very very long stretch and they try to cut me off because I'm 'bypassing' the line or even at the merge, where I just let someone through but then it's my turn but they cut me off.

What do these people think? The 2 lane highway is supposed to become a 1 lane highway just because there's a merge ahead (say because of an accident)? How far back is it supposed to become 1 lane? 100 meters? 500 meters? 10 kilometers? I've seen some crazy long lineups with nobody on the second lane for multiple kilometers. The line could easily have been half as long if everyone just stayed on their lane until the merge point and zippered.

I remember seeing an experiment on TV (Germany) like 20 years ago, where they had a large truck adhere to the zipper rule, merging exactly where they're supposed to and filming it (doing it over and over) and there were many many cases of the truck having to brake hard as people tried to 'slip by'. This was a 'soft zipper' i.e. lots of space to the front with just lines marked out where the truck could come to a standstill/slow down and go on, so it was a safe experiment.

Which ultimately is one of those cases that demonstrate that some ideas are good and 'correct' but "not implementable with humans."
I was still happily running a 2009 Phenom II until last year, when I was forced to upgrade when the motherboard started acting up. The thing is, performance-wise it was just fine. In 2009 it would be unthinkable for a 1998 CPU to be anything but a paperweight, but the performance plateau of today is real
This is problematic because it must be 2774 years ago, when wolve attacks were substantially more common. I'm also not thrilled that a good chunk of my dev team lives near the Lupercal. The one good piece of news is that at least one of my headcount is fated to die by the hand of man, which might bring the odds of simultaneous wolf attack deaths down to zero unless he quits beforehand.

There's not really much to it; it's just an example of extending ksh with more builtins, which is simple by design. (I really miss what this did for Sun's dbx debugger — instead of being inside some tool with yet another idiosyncratic command language, your shell just grew commands for interacting with the process being debugged.)

Open Letter to the FAA
People keep repeating that particulate masks are not comfortable. I don't think this is universally true. Sure, some combinations of face shapes and specific mask models might be uncomfortable, but that is going to be true of anything that is supposed to be form fitting (e.g. shoes).

For me, I had issues with 3M products, but once I switched to Honeywell, I haven't had any issues. In addition to being more comfortable, I have an easier time getting a better seal with Honeywell masks. I think this is in part due to the fact that they have more substantial gaskets.

Higher end masks also tend to work better for me. If you are having trouble with disposable N95 masks, look into N99 or P100 masks or upgrading to a silicone mask. I personally find the Honeywell RU8800 to be very comfortable and I don't have any issues wearing it even on long hikes. This is especially useful when it is smoky.

Another benefit of silicone masks is that it is trivial to test the seal with your face. Poor fit is a common problem with disposable masks and is often cited as a reason why they are ineffective for normal people. Based on my anecdotal experience, roughly 90% of the people I have seen wearing disposable particulate masks in public are obviously wearing them incorrectly. It seems like it would be worth reading the instructions when your safety is on the line.
U.S. asks Tesla why it failed to file recall notices of Autopilot driving system
Great point. I've been thinking about this in terms of the declaration 'economic growth is decoupling from resource use'. I'm sure that what's meant by that is that portions of the economy are entering a late-scarcity stage; music and books certainly don't feel scarce right now. But the statement that an economy like that is 'growing' seems to imply something untrue about the things that still are scarce.

I'm not super up on Star Trek lore, but to my understanding the setting takes place in a post-scarcity universe, where the only thing that is still scarce is latinum. Latinum isn't good for much except that it can't be replicated, so some traditions from the scarcity era use it as a medium of exchange, even though everything useful can be produced without any latinum. When a cup of earl grey is replicated, does the value of the remaining latinum go up or down compared to the (now slightly larger) economy?

It seems like there's a fundamental problem with the structure of our thought around these questions. We can imagine scarcity and it's absence, but we seem cognitively unprepared for a situation where some things are valuable and scarce and others are valuable but not scarce.
If this is actually the case, why does Facebook keep their app on the Play Store? I'm almost certain Facebook would not choose to take the path with more resistance for its users, because a significant percentage of them will simply not install the app.
I think the crux of the disagreement is the order of events.

MMT proponents would not character bond issuance as something that takes money out of circulation per se. It is only when that money is taxed back out of the economy that money is removed.

In this construction central bank policy and government budgets both do play a role, the question is what comes first. When governments runs deficits, it signals the central bank to print money.

As I said elsewhere, I think this is transitory. (Caused by printing money + Covid-related drop in output, both of which should stop.) So I wouldn't set up a long-term investment strategy based on this.

It really needs to be coupled with something else to work.

My opinion is downvotes should require a reason for downvote. Upvotes imply aggreement of the original post therefore do not need further explanation.

Getting in the weeds here, but then if others agree with the downvote rationale, they can upvote the downvote which can be used as some metric. This already happens on HN and reddit - people downvote all the time then provide a reason, but not all people provide a reason for their disagreement, allowing for useless downvotes that dont help the community in any way - for example an "ad hominem" downvote. What this means is that disagreeing opinions are allowed attacks without any risk of retaliation, and in what game is that ever fair?

It is demographically balanced - their sampling technique made sure of that.

My point is that it's probably not balanced by free time or choice of activity. It's going to be biased toward people who spend time on Instagram and Facebook, simply because that's what they draw their sample from. So someone like me, who spends the bulk of my time either working, playing with my kids, or seeing friends in person isn't going to be in the sample at all. I'd argue that such people will be overrepresented among folks who are planning to stay in the Bay Area, simply because they're the only ones who can afford to. Was talking with a neighbor recently who's been in the neighborhood for two generations (50+ years), and he said that it used to be mixed middle-class with all sorts of people living there, but among people who bought in the last 10 years, it's been 100% tech.
