Promscale does both data storage and analysis/rollups. It's like Thanos in that you can use it as a remote storage backend. It has the additional functionality of then aggregating/analyzing the data in SQL.
> I think this goes somewhat beyond right to repair?

Definitely goes beyond it. This should be able to get traction as an anti-electronics waste policy.

Designs and relevant documentation should be packaged up and handed over to the Library of Congress (or alternate entity) as soon as any design goes into mass production. LoC may release them when the product is no longer supported by the manufacturer or the company has gone out of business -- which could be fairly automated on the LoC side.

One side-effect of this may be that companies will be incentivized to support hardware longer, if they believe that these designs have notable design elements that they do not wish to disclose.

I'd settle for something non-retroactive. Since I don't think that'd be tenable technically at this point anyway.

One of the cruxes in this are things like GPUs and wireless chips which are pretty unfriendly in terms of getting documentation but even providing a subset of functionality would be great.
>It's great to be able to pull off beans from dry in an hour

Also dry beans in a slow cooker is a bad plan anyway - there have been incidents of people getting sick cause slow cookers don't hit the required temp to get rid of the Phytohaemagglutinin.

Pressure cookers are a much better plan for this as you say

There's variability even using the same bean and the same settings on your cooker because venting can vary, I think based on humidity. I've had my cooker vent in 15 minutes, or 60 - it's still cooking while it vents. So you have to be aware of that when you start the cook. If you've got a broth going on the stove at the same time, the beans will vent more slowly

Not additional spending exactly, but direct payments to the population to avoid a liquidity trap. It's a trade off, gaining a little on GDP by increasing inflation. See: Japan for what a persistent liquidity trap does to a country.

Helicopter money is a bit unconventional, and doesn't solve every economic woe. It's just one of the 1000 tools in the monetary policy toolbox.

EDIT: It's important to note that mild inflation is a good thing. It spurs people to buy now rather than later. If inflation was zero for a hypothetical country, why buy a house today if you know the house would be the same price 10 years from now? That spending today cycles dollars into the economy that keeps the engine running. 2% is generally regarded as pretty optimal. Aggressive unconventional measures applied early has stronger effects than applied later.

France has had some pretty lackluster GDP growth over the past few years, and probably sees now to be prime time to keep the engine rolling now that the country is waking back up from the pandemic. This is more or less in line with the European Central Bank's line of thinking: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/key/date/2021/html/ecb.sp210...

France's inflation was only 2.7% for the month of September, which is a little high, but way low compared to what their more successful peers are hitting (not that 5% is what you should be aiming for, but as a yardstick for hot economies, it means they have some wiggle room). If France wants to keep the renewed interest in spending going, especially with their historical sluggish growth, they need to apply a little more juice to the economy.
I'm working for a smaller US company (hitting 100 people across the whole organisation soon), as a remote employee in the UK.

The arangement is a third party hires me as an employee in the UK, where I receive all the British employment rights (holidays, etc), and I just work for the US company. This is a fairly new thing for them, previously they had only taken on non-US persons through contracting companies.

I would guess that if larger companies were going to hire abroad, they would either have a local setup to manage payroll or do something similar to where I am now. No idea how many are really offering something like that.

Could it be due to HN being more PC than console? I personally have not played Harvest Moon and am only vaguely familiar with the name.

Unions are really, really different from collectives, or worker co-ops.

They have in common an implication that capital should not be the sole deciding factor in organizational decision making, but it is really weird to see them lumped together.

Kind of like saying jet engines (or bears, humans, or amphibians) all depend on breathing oxygen!
It might seem helpful but it's not. Obviously this is my opinion but it's disrespectful to the engineer doing the work to essentially shame them into releasing something that they have a vision for early.

Who knows what shape it's in, who knows if it's bugged? Releasing something to just get it out there and it's so bugged, the users run away.

I understand why you are saying what you are saying but maybe try to look at it from a different perspective because whenever someone says that to me, it's demeaning. I (we) know what we're doing and perfectly capable of judging when something is "done".
Don't B-Corps both (a) show working towards improvement without a union and (b) by their definition consider far more than profit maximization in their core mandate?

You didn't really refute their final point about mandatory union affiliation other than "but that would make it harder for the union". Their point about personal choice stands (and is valid).
The solutions are multi-pronged.
1) Step up enforcement of current laws and regulations. (A law or regulation is only as effective as its enforcement.)
2) Do as much as possible to trace payments and force payment networks to co-operate with criminal investigations, preferably through multilateral treaties or agreements.
3) Thwart social engineering by training and promoting good online hygiene.

Some (small) amount of content from those BBS systems has been archived elsewhere, but the BBS servers themselves are long dead and cannot be connected to.

By analogy, the contents of a few torrents might be archived somewhere 500 years from now, but nobody will be seeding the torrents themselves.
From what I understand, while the source has to be available, there is no specification that it be downloadable or easily available. IIRC, for the original GNU software, the source code was provided by writing to GNU via snail mail.

This is just harrassment against a right-wing media site. Most likely outcome is they will release the source code of the mastadon instance. Why wouldn't they? This would be such a stupid fight. Or they'd claim that you can write and be given the source.

Lots of companies do this kind of thing with (A)GPL. IIRC, Apple didn't release it's OS X source code until well after OS X was first available. Should it be excused, no. But based on the targeting of the founding team here, I find it difficult to imagine this was not motivated partly by politics, which I find distasteful, since I generally do not like selective enforcement and targeting of laws.
It's definitely more convenient. I have mine set to 'hn' in Vivaldi browser to take me there.
My bet is that you only chance is making it a family history site. And by that I mean that each generation of your future family must contribute their story and at the same time update the site to a modern solution.

The base layer could be text files and image, even though jpeg might not exists in 200 year some other format does.

But you must leave it up to you grandchildren to update the solution to modern formats. Maybe set some inheritance up to support this.
Wait so I shouldn't be spending all this time learning vi?
It isn't static html, it is an ever changing tapestry of js fetching this and that, on demand loaded content, and so on. To archive, one need to not only snag the page, and loaf time js, but also js triggered by user actions.

This means you need to load the whole page, then hit js triggered by page load, etc, then save output to html.

Because, some of those js libs won't work in future browsers, others won't work if they can't phone home, or 100 other things.

Archive.org is about 100 years from now too, and js content is a PITA in that respect.
This is exactly how I felt watching "Citizen Kane". It just felt like an ordinary movie? Still, a good movie, but what was all the hype about? Turns out the gravity of that movie was all about the influence it had on all future generations of film.
I hear this complaint frequently, and I always wonder if the people making it are well-informed about supply chain logistics or are just parroting what they’ve heard elsewhere. Because my understanding of TPS and Lean is that it solved serious issues with supply chains involving waste due to outdated and rusted (figuratively and literally) inventory. It also doesn’t prevent the use of buffers to absorb shocks, as Toyota demonstrated in the first year of the pandemic.
It's an anachronistic fantasy that a rich person can fulfill that would be infeasible for 90% of the population.
That's rather correct, I'd say.

The thing is, if I remember correctly, the habit of smiling in the photos appeared in the 20th century in the US. So it's still not here.

As for public interactions, among Russians the difference is that you have to look at the eyebrows and the forehead, which indicate the person being attentive and welcoming, or relaxed, or tense.

When Russians see Americans have smile with lips and cheeks, but forehead and eyebrows relaxed or tense, they probably can't realize it, but perceive this as "fake".

The funny thing is, in Scandinavia, especially Iceland people tend to show even less signs of being "open" in public interaction. At least, I felt unease at first.

I checked the Hiber [1] IoT Solutions (mentioned in the article) that are mostly focused on Asset/Vehicle/Machinery tracking. Even tho their message focuses (among other things) on how cheap they are - I have to disagree. Maybe if they find someone that truly needs global connectivity where 2G/NB-IoT/LTE-M can get pricey, but then someone needing that probably has quite a big purchasing power. Also their claims of easy install and productivity/uptime gains (without a CAN module, as they don't offer it currently) are very much PR speak and don't work like that in reality (I run a tiny asset/vehicle tracking business). Really not seeing how they are even close to being competitive in this space - or able to provide value added solutions later on. There are niche tracking solutions which are a lot better fit than what they are currently offering/focusing on. Something like yacht tracking, you know, where satellite connectivity is actually needed. But what do I know, maybe I'm wrong.

Also looks like you have to sign a 5 year contract, very optimistic from them.

Generally thinking the IoT and satellite connectivity (at affordable, non Iridium level, pricing) have it's uses. But for general vehicle/machine tracking where you usually have power, need to extract data from the machine anyway (for real insights), a plain old (or even better new NB-IoT/LTE-M) cellular connectivity will (generally) be plenty.

In firefox, you can configure the bookmarks toolbar to only show on the new tab page, which is super useful because it doesn't steal screen space on your normal tabs.
Well, according to the wikipedia article, it goes to the extent that even if you've got evidence through, say, coercion, while that evidence would be invalid, you could use that information so obtained to collect further valid evidence, or even just get the suspect to repeat the previous statements (not under coercion) then resubmit it.

But I've mostly just got this from my wife complaining about it. There's very little structurally in place to prevent the police from abusing their power in germany, and when it comes to evidence collection, they are definitely incentivized to do so.

> Typically, when you have even two competitors, the quality is improved.

If those state services weren't available for the public they would exist anyway, they are primarily for military purpose.

Imagine the US didn't offer free GPS and civilian competition would arise. Wouldn't it just mean the US users would have to pay for two satellite services? Once for the military one, once for the civilian. Since cost does not increase with users, the military (tax supported) one wouldn't be cheaper to run either.

Apart from that there are competitors even today. My smartphone does connect to Galileo, Glonass and GPS.

You've kind of shifted the debate towards over whether any large institution or organization should be allowed to finance or donate or "fund" political campaigns to the degree that they can at present in the US. I would say they shouldn't be able to. Many other liberal democracies do not allow it.

While I support unions in many cases, I would say that many of the arguments against a decision like the one made in Citizens United in favor of unfettered amounts apply to corporations and unions equally. I found Justice Stevens dissenting opinion extremely convincing compared to the concurring and majority opinion. He raised things like: they do not vote, they "survive" the lifespan of the normal human, they disrupt the spirit of democracy and the conceptual underpinnings of liberal democracy, and they manipulate speech into a concept of power and wealth rather than expression and communication.

So, obviously they're political, but in the sense that they are politically active. And so are corporations. Take away the ability to fund, donate to, or finance, politicians and political campaigns from corporations and unions, and you still end up with a situation where unions collectively protect workers from arbitrary change.
Yeah that would be facinating
You DO see that politics are inevitably tied up in the root cause/purpose of unions though, right? I mean, often it is nakedly political reasons that unions even come to exist in the first place, or this situation with Amazon, for example. Your explanation of what a union is could easily be rewritten for a society made up of constituents electing a candidate drawn from the community to represent them...

A Q&A with Lynk CEO Charles Miller
The compiler respects the C standard by default. According to it, puts() is the same as a printf() in some conditions, but sqrt() is not the same as the instruction.

If you don't like C, you can use a dialect of it by setting some flags:
-fno-math-errno if you want to optimize sqrt anyway or -fno-builtin if you don't want the compiler to replace functions calls
I have been a Linux-only user on the desktop since 2011. I've been thinking of jumping ship to FreeBSD for better ZFS support and a more cohesive experience, but I'm still on Linux for now.

But I do try to make my software portable across all major OS's, so I have a hard drive specifically for Windows in my machine, and I do boot it.

I hate it when I have to. Even though the only thing I do when I boot it is work on open source software, I get nervous about how much data is being mined on me because I can't tell. Hence why I only work on open source software.

(And before anyone tells me that Linux is spying on me too, I run Gentoo with everything, including my ungoogled browser, built from source. And I watch my network traffic.)
If by “consume” you mean “acquire the contents” of all those comments, well, you’ll have to read them all.

A more interesting question to me for a while has been, how to follow the evolution of a deep thread in which the time it takes to read a larger amount of comments, even more are made. How to know where all the new ones are? It’d be cool to be able to diff a thread based on timestamp.
By the by, if you haven't seen the Coen brothers' film "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs", which features this poem, I highly recommend stopping everything, popping some corn, and watching it as soon as feasible.
In the WaPo article, it's the DA who is saying that the request could be interpreted as subjective, not the Supreme Court justice. The relevant line in the concurrence:

> In my view, the defendant’s ambiguous and equivocal reference to a “lawyer dog” does not constitute an invocation of counsel that warrants termination of the interview and does not violate Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 101 S.Ct. 1880, 68 L.Ed.2d 378 (1981).

"Equivocal" probably refers to Demesme saying "if y'all think I did it", but nonetheless it's hard for me to read the concurrence as anything other than a bad faith interpretation of his request for counsel.

A blog post by Rumman Chowdhury, Twitter’s director of software engineering, and Luca Belli, a Twitter researcher, said the findings could be “problematic” and that more study needed to be done. The post acknowledged that it was concerning if certain tweets received preferential treatment as a result of the way in which users interacted with the algorithm tailoring their timeline.

“Algorithmic amplification is problematic if there is preferential treatment as a function of how the algorithm is constructed versus the interactions people have with it. Further root cause analysis is required in order to determine what, if any, changes are required to reduce adverse impacts by our Home timeline algorithm,” the post said

> Let it be naked is a remixed version of the album Paul McCartney was involved in to remove much of the Spector wall of sound parts.

To expand on this, the album was produced at a very contentious time for The Beatles when they weren't cooperating with each other, around the time of their breakup.

The recording project had been put on hold, and I think Spector only became involved when it was revived. He replaced George Martin, their normal producer. And this was done without consulting some members of the band.

This article (which is about "The Long and Winding Road", one of the tracks above) is an interesting read:

https://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/the-long-and-winding-road...

Paul McCartney was furious that his song had been altered without his knowledge or agreement. George Martin, their normal producer, didn't have complimentary things to say about Spector either.
I'm partial to the remix:
