That would involve retrofitting almost every garage and parking lot in the country, which feels like a non-starter.
>>your best bet is to accept the scientific consensus

you got it right.. it's a bet

Science is not the ultimate source of truth, it is data with a risk reward attached that you can use for your own critical thinking

I do agree with you though that it should be heavily weighted in your thinking.

But people now are treating as an infallible religion that you can outsource your critical thinking to...which is scary imo.
Synaptic still works fine but it also needs explicitly installing and it is aimed at more technical "power users" and so solves a slightly different problem.
That is due to increased download bandwidth everywhere, especially due to advances in mobile network technology, meant that computing could be offloaded from devices to the cloud. Of course, the cloud requires huge capital expenditures, and who better to capitalize on it than the incumbent giants.
It is. The office is so accurate. All the way down to the donation campaigns and the toy drives and weird little events to hide that we are all in a gray cube away from the beautiful sun grinding numbers away
I've seen this pop up on HN before. And I just read another article on HN about how Bamboo lumber is made and found an interesting intersection. In that article, during the first few months of their growth, Bamboo gets to their final height, then they start to, as the article says, "lignify" for several years. Would that mean that Bamboo has much less lignin in the beginning, and would that also make young Bamboo shoots a possible way to get cellulose without as much chemicals?
in this case, the journalist is reporting on the contents of a lawsuit. the journalist is not making any claim to have verified the truth of the allegations, only the existence of the allegations.

I am your lawyer and this is legal advice.

I think a decent (legal or moral) argument can be made either way here.

The circumvention of TPMs is allowed in the case that they restrict you from exercising your rights and you cannot obtain a remedy from the rightholder.

Furthermore it might be useful to look at the Computer Programs Directive. I quote a Wikipedia summary here:

> The legal owner of a program is assumed to have a licence to create any copies necessary to use the program and to alter the program within its intended purpose (e.g. for error correction). The legal owner may also make a back-up copy for his or her personal use. The program may also be decompiled if this is necessary to ensure it operates with another program or device (Art. 6), but the results of the decompilation may not be used for any other purpose without infringing the copyright in the program.

For an implementation of this directive in English you can look at e.g. the Irish one at [0], particularly regulations 5, 6 and 7.

It's also worth bearing in mind that EUIPO is a "network of experts and specialist stakeholders" who aren't necessarily writing from the perspective of consumer rights.

OK, but Dunbar's Number is likely some flavor of upper limit.
A tiny drop, an endless collection of guest language that goes back to Beanshell, many of which now forgotten.
the adversarial environment of the courtroom provides a range of relevant information to juries, not just one ‘mountain of lies’. it’s just like when you get into an argument with someone and a bunch of people walk up and watch, then give their opinions based on the ‘facts’ you each present. a consensus forms on the most reasonable and plausible explanation given the information provided, and that becomes the accepted truth.

a jury is a small sample of the population that represents the ‘will of the people’ in this way. any one person can be wrong, but it would be difficult (but not impossible) for all of them to be wrong in the same way (outside of tampering). the one criticism that might be immediately valid is that juries are too small to adequately sample the will of the people, not that they’re too small to uncover truthful consensus.
The idea of a robust, enduring free market itself needs to be questioned.

Complete economic freedom leads to monopolies, who then act to preserve and benefit from their position. They do this because they know everyone else both wants that position and would do the same thing to maintain it. All this happens because growth is seen as necessary. Always necessary.

Markets with rules can check those behaviors, but come with other complications, a big one being bought and paid for rule making by bigger players doing what?

Maintaining position and growth.

In the end, why do we even allow markets?

To benefit people.

Factored down, rules aimed at insuring markets actually do serve the people means the people have to have a say in the rules created with authority granted by the people for the purpose of improving things for the people.

It never ceases to amaze me just how bad Microsoft Update and Windows Update are (and the macOS App Store too for that matter). Two of the biggest companies in the world can't seem to get it right while a team of volunteers manage to run not just OS updates on Linux and BSD, but an entire library of software too.
Is it possible to run the code online?
Possibly, but how many of the bugs are rare edge cases (i.e., attempting to break the game) versus problems players actually face in normal gameplay? Without knowing what priority or severity these bugs take, it is difficult to say how useful the increased volume of feedback is.
This is a story about someone slipping a note. It's a far cry from "someone doing a specialized hand symbol that someone intended noticed, while someone unintended did not notice". Or in other words, the amount of people who are literate and capable of reading a note in legible plain script is orders of magnitude greater than the amount of people who know this hand signal.
Everyone reading this on Chrome should switch their browser today. Get off of Gmail while you're at it. There is no perfect alternative, but all those reasons why you think you can't switch don't add up to anything a fraction as bad as what Google is doing.

A conspiracy requires a crime. Poisoning millions of people should maybe be a crime, but it manifestly is not today, as numerous soda company executives move about freely, just as paint executives did and tobacco executives still do.

Killing a dozen people by shooting up a bus station is national news. Killing millions, year in and year out, slowly enough, is just business.
I used to be able to set the New Tab Page to an arbitrary URL. Now I have to use a browser extension to do that. Moreover, it used to be possible to have that point to an HTML file that was stored locally, which they have disabled from even allowing browser extensions to point to. I used to have a really cool new tab page that I hand wrote with custom CSS and everything. Firefox killed that overnight.

Here's an article about the ads in the new tab page:

> if this really means the hunters do eat squirrels on other occasions

I don't know if these same people do, but yes, people eat squirrel. I've had it once when a relative served it to us.

They lived in a rural area, and they would often hunt for food. I think one Thanksgiving we had wild turkey. Anyway, I'm not aware of a store-bought squirrel option.

> How is it chicken-fried?

It means you prepare it just like you would prepare fried chicken.

In Texas, this means you: (1) dip the pieces in a milk/egg mixture (can be buttermilk), (2) coat them in seasoned flour, then (3) fry them in a skillet on the stove, turning a few times since you're not deep frying.

That would have been how it was prepared when I had it.

Yaml has so many problems. Python 3.10 raised a new one to my attention when the core devs realized their arrays of versions contained twice 3.1 and no 3.10. Indeed, if write unquotted ascii, yaml gives you strings. Except if it can cast it to a number that is.

TOML is better, but it still has more gotchas that necessary. So much I find it easier to just edit a python file

I'm thinking of giving a try to cue. Any feedback ?
> CNN reported that it is a horse dewormer (which it is)

That's like saying Rogan was drinking engine coolant because he was drinking water.

The US currently requires refugees from certain regions to take ivermectin prophylactically. If Fox News ran a headline saying "Biden Administration Forcing Horse Dewormer on Immigrants", I think we'd all object.

That's basically what CNN is doing here.

(To avoid confusion on my own personal views: There is no data showing ivermectin is effective in treating COVID. We should all get vaccinated. But disagreeing with my views doesn't justify lying.)
There needs to be much greater emphasis on teaching physics and chemistry in middle school and high school.

Excessive investment of one's pension fund in the airline itself makes for some very disgruntled employees working well past the average age of retirement. United managed to shift a lot of it's post 9/11 losses onto the employee pension fund as a result of the union buy-in to company ownership.
Yeah, for this whole case we have to choose whether Google or the Texas AG is being more honest.
The whole point of this had nothing to do with rooting out corruption -- it was to discredit Biden as a candidate. This was Benghazi v2 (or higher).

I am among those that see another Trump presidency as an existential threat and am willing to look the other way if it helps prevent that.

As long as the political climate remains as it is I don't feel I have any other choice.
Of course, and I'm not debating vaccine vs virus here (I've had both, myself), but even a single case of myocarditis (if we can conclusively prove that it comes from the vaccine... in reality, we can at most statistically suspect vaccine causes it) disproves the idea that "spike protein doesn't enter the bloodstream".

Why? There, by definition, is always a moment when you learn something. You're not born knowing SOS. At some point in your life you learn of it. To reply to someone who expresses that that this was such a moment with "I hope you're joking" comes off as extremely condescending.
I generally agree. The secondary (and more interesting) question is whether placebo effect is applicable to infants. Based on the theory of how placebo works, it seems it might not be. It seems there are no studies on that. At least I couldn't find any.

My brother lived, for a while, in a Sun City "community." Everyone owned their own property. There was a common house for parties, billiards, etc., tennis courts, and I think a swimming pool. It was for 55-and-over people. I would bet most of these people are older, too, but I didn't watch the whole video so I could be wrong.

It didn't have all the eco vibes, but that probably has more to do with the desert-ish setting. No communitarian stuff. I don't know if they had an HOA, but probably the corporation handled those functions.

Not at all Black Mirror-like and no one was suspiciously happy. I don't know if you could be kicked out, but it wouldn't happen by a vote by your neighbors, for sure.

I don't see how this is real different. Personally, I'd rather have a soulless corporation making the rules than a bunch of Karens off NextDoor.

I am not sure why would one expect more linux bugs in a game made using a game engine (I couldn't find any info and I am assuming this game is one, correct me if I am wrong). If it is not working in linux, then it must be an engine bug, not a game one. If I am wrong then props to devs for having such a consistent game engine

Perhaps other option is using cpp, and having UB that behaves differently in different compilers. But I doubt that as well
Swiss courts are not something to be taken likely... since ProtonMail and its founders are based in Switzerland the employees themselves could have faced criminal charges for non-compliance.

A different argument could be made that they could be using more privacy-preserving tech that would make compliance not possible... but even then a court order + gag order could compel them to start logging.

Why this ruling is so important is it sets legal precedent that Protonmail is in the right to not turn over user data to the government. The Swiss legal system tends to be pretty firm about things and this will likely make it next to impossible for a repeat of their past fiasco to happen.
Are you counting criticism of Mozilla (the company) as criticism of Firefox? I see more of the former on HN.

In essence, you may want Hasura/GraphQL if you have no idea how the end-users' query format will look, whereas Cube is well-suited for providing performant results for somewhat predictable sets of queries. Disclaimer: I work on Cube.

My colleague Igor explains it better: Hasura is for CRUD with reasonable performance, Cube is for fetching analytical (quantitative) data with sub-second latency and high concurrency. Hasura is great as a general-purpose data backend, Cube is great as an API for analytics. Obviously, they can be used in the same app, e.g., a blog can serve posts and comments from Hasura and show an upvotes/downvotes chart or a rating of most productive commenters via Cube.

You can build a back-end for an iOS app with whatever you want, although I’m pretty biased toward Elixir/Phoenix.

LiveView is amazing but it seems it is coupled tightly with HTML (for now). Phoenix Channels seems like a great way to build a real-time back-end, and there are Swift clients out there.

I've really enjoyed the video. However, so far Integza is more of videoblogger who entertain his audience rather than engineer working towards a better system for his goals.

This article - https://www.hydrogen-peroxide.us/uses-monoprop-steam-generat... - explains the basics of hydrogen peroxide propulsion technology. For example, having 50% peroxide, one can make more concentrated one - like, 85% used by Britain in their orbital launcher Black Arrow - by relatively simple evaporation. I guess the problem is that it's less useful for video.

It was really good to see catalyst pack experiments with printed porous ceramics. It would be very interesting :) to see if that ceramics - and active ingredient potassium permanganate - would stand higher temperatures of decomposition of higher concentration peroxide. But that's an exercise for the viewer - and the technology for that, a specialized 3D printer and high-content ceramics photopolymer aren't too accessible for many.

The video - and the channel as a whole - are still pretty good though.
I doubt it. A much more likely suspect is the Intel Management Engine, which unlike a TPM module, runs an entire operating system alongside your computer and hides it's outgoing traffic as encrypted TLS data. Yikes.

A much more likely explanation for TPM is that it can enforce weak and vulnerable cryptography at a hardware level. It's an open secret by this point that the NSA weakens elliptic keypairs to make them vulnerable to differential cryptanalysis. With TPM, software can now be forced to use hardware crypto, which is almost always weaker than the programmable software crypto we had before.
I had completely forgotten about WAP, but i remember using a WAP browser of some sort on an old Sybmian Nokia now i think about it.

Before add-ons worked with Firefox mobile (and I could install ublock), browsing the web on a phone was awful. If i remember it was around the time that AMP launched in 2015 that Firefox mobile got add-on support. So there was certainly a problem more recently that 15 years ago.

The adverts on news sites were so bad that AMP was able to make mobile pages clearly better from a UX point of view. But that was largely a problem of Googles own making, and their "generous" fix was obviously stacked in their favour.

All users needed was the ability to install an ad-blocker on their mobile browser, but of course Google was never going to allow that for Chrome.
yes, that would also serve SEO - longer on the web page + more content viewed = greater "engagement"
