This. As the old saw says, for every complex problem there is a solution that is simple, obvious, and wrong. I mean, it's not a bad thing they fixed the rule, but either way it's unlikely to cause or prevent the collapse of the US economy.

My money is on the ports themselves being the problem. Having people waiting around for hours if not days is incredibly inefficient, and the Rotterdams, Singapores and Shenzhens of the world do not have this issue.
Pretty cool that this black mathematician is getting recognition now!
I’d like to think I mean “non-partisan”.

One thing that keeps me honest there is that I hold positions across the political spectrum (not all in the center) - usually this makes partisans uncomfortable because they don’t know which “camp” I’m in.

I think dismissing the anti-woke stuff in the way you do isn’t an accurate portrayal, sure partisanship is definitely motivating some but not all (not me) - it’s because I think it’s genuinely bad policy.

I’m not making a false equivalence either - the trump stuff is awful and a lot worse. Which is why I wish there was a sane center-right party.

Apple messed up and that makes me happy
I have a couple modern LG 'smart' TVs that I don't connect to the internet, and they work just fine. As you say, they just display whatever is on the HDMI input.

I've updated their firmware a couple times. I connect them with wired cat6 on their own isolated VLAN to update, and then disconnect them afterwards. Maybe I am a little unnecessarily paranoid about it, but I don't really trust TV manufacturers, not with some of the (maybe apocryphal) stories I've read.

In Factorio design this is simply increasing the buffer size. If the truck-loadings-per-hour don't increase then it's not going to matter how large you make the buffer.

Adding a secondary site for putting containers also seems like it's going to be a new challenge for the logistics company scheduling the rides (I have a friend who deals with train cargo scheduling). Truckers who are used to showing up at the port are now going to have to go to a completely different site altogether, and who knows how many IO issues the new site will also bring in.

Now's the chance for logistics companies to start hiring OpenTTD players.
Some talk about 'building a new port' as part of the solution. I'm thinking that's a decade project and $100B or some such? PoLA tried to expand for a decade and the impact statements got bogged down and nothing happened if I remember right (my sister-in-law was doing the math on the statements)
I'm late to the discussion. And I don't have near the personal insight to offer that @diskzero does. But I think there's another aspect as well.

Apple came back.

I can think of no other company in recent history that has come back from such a long run on death row to periodically become the company with the world's highest market valuation. And we tend to associate that (for many good reasons) with Steve Jobs. Steve's persona and the admiration that follows I think derives in large part because it has been the ultimate come back story.

This "come back story" is one of the most classic and inspiring stories that has resonated through myth and fable throughout history. It's what makes us stand up and cheer in a theater when Daniel Laruso delivers the take down kick. It is Miracle when the US beats USSR in hockey. It's why we like to interpret David and Goliath as a little guy takes down big guy story (vs the kid with the rock gun kills the big lout https://www.ted.com/talks/malcolm_gladwell_the_unheard_story...).

It's interesting to note that with Steve gone, Elon Musk has risen to the new Crazy Successful Celebrity Leader figure. Like Steve, you can see Elon from a variety of facets, some very flattering, and some very damning, what we would love about him is that he has had some success at defeating the status quo.
> Is this a Samsung app that you would never see if you have no interest in smart apps and leave your TV off the internet? Because if so that's easily avoided

So the problem with this approach is that, yes sure if you have the technical acumen you can prevent the TV from phoning home, but you are still giving money to the company that engages in this kind of behavior. And that money contributes to them developing more intrusive tools like this that target consumers of their products who do not have the requisite technical acumen to prevent the TV from phoning home.

In other words, by buying an adware TV and disabling the adware, you're still supporting the adware company instead of just buying a TV without adware in the first place.
X forwarding "just works" in Wayland via XWayland. None of that has changed significantly.

But I'm disappointed to see this myth keep popping up. X in general isn't "network transparent." Some X11 clients are, but only if they're built in a very specific way, which also tends to degrade performance locally.
Facebook doesn't. Open source users of Hack do, and it uses packagist.org - however if a package is written in PHP, Hack code can't use it.

Not 100% accurate, but if a package's composer.json does not require HHVM, it will most likely install into a hack project, but be unusable.
#1 is most relevant. China got hit with massive flooding and their rapidly built infrastructure isn’t built to withstand climate changes.

> Bikeshedding like this is why Linux will never achieve any significant market share for average consumers.

In my opinion, this is a good thing. Aiming for increasing "market share for average consumers" usually implies focusing on the standard baseline of functionality. There is nothing wrong with this, but this invariably cuts off tinkerers and enthusiasts who care about playing with SDRs and LIDARs and other fringe capabilities as much as (and usually more than) they care about the simplicity of the WiFi setup.

For simplest possible internet browsing there is ever-simpler Windows, with its design choices such as sharing of WiFi access and creeping ads. Just my 2c.
I feel this is a bit disingenuous, because using the same logic burning wood is thousands of % effective, or even ∞% if the system only uses convection, making heat pumps seem like a poor choice even when they're perfectly valid.
Question: what if you got a screening service where someone calls a # and we do multiple checks... For example:

(1) if it's a blocked # or a # from a known blacklisted source -> straight to voicemail, and we notify you by text if a message was left (or we transcribe it)

(2) new # you've never discussed -> you can set up the options here, e.g. if commercial or otherwise, go to VM or enable to "ring" for you

(3) if the call a known caller to you -> pass through

Would you use something like this?
> As a way to protect himself from this dilution in ownership, what could he do?

Borrow against his stock holdings to pay the taxes, at interest rates far below the rate of stock appreciation. (That people already do this—but not for taxes—to perpetually avoid realizing gains while enjoying all the benefits of the gains is central to the explicit motivation of this bill, so its kind of a major oversight to ignore it as an option for paying the taxes.)
Yeah as ridiculous as this patent is, the context is important here. The TSA tested this method, then refused to license it and continued to use it. In another world where the TSA had no idea about this guy and just came up with this method on their own, this would be a very different case.

This is more of a case of "knowingly infringing on a patent" rather than "infringing on a patent"
NextDNS is great and all, but it's another third party that could be handing your data over to god knows who. PiHole is local and I don't have to worry about my data being misused.
This matches my experience. Ive recently been more open about science-based (to the extent i can as a layperson) perspectives that dont fit neatly into the binary news representation(s), and discovered many more nuanced perspectives than the internet would have you beleive.
I don't think anything would prevent it, but I doubt many companies would have equally affected shareholders.

The point that I agree with Tim the most is that this legislation only affects individuals, not corporate owners. I'd absolutely want to apply it to those owners as well. But, an investment group would not be taxed the same way as individual owners, and so might be less inclined to approve such payments.

Also, since each individual can exempt up to $1B in assets, it would only be those individuals that hold a massive amount of the company that would typically be liable for the tax burden. So, an early employee that has $900M of Facebook shares wouldn't receive any of the tax-payback money that Zuckerberg would receive. Because the exposure would be fairly selective, it seems marginally less likely that enough shareholders would be equally affected at a company to find it to be a fair deal.
Equally vile is the majority of applications reliant on WS-* based protocols, their appalling lack of semantic consistency, cross-vendor incompatibilities, byzantine failure modes, and grotesquely siloed enterprise runtimes.

Equating certain technologies with incompetence, especially coupled to a blinkered misrepresentation of how to use them, remains a wholly unjustifiable misattribution. What's more, doing so with a reference to "the kids" further indicates a poor grasp of programmer demographics, and especially the denizens of this forum.

To sum up: most software is shit. Any correlations to variations in the uniformity of the shit that you may have observed are globally unsupportable.
Which is why I covered them in my comment about CHP, which recoups a large portion of those "losses". Either way other power sources also require logistic challenges and/or big equipment installs to use, so it isn't exactly 1:1 comparison.

The problem with XRender (and Cairo) is that it is still inherently an old-school immediate mode API. It's never going to be as performant as a fully parallelized GPU implementation.
This is not bikeshedding, at least as I see it. Debian is used in millions of systems and many may rely on the exact output of 'which' command. Their job is to make these systems incredibly reliable, make improvements and make sure those improvements are rolled out as smoothly as possible. This is unsexy like plumbing and maintenance is unsexy, but still absolutely instrumental to society.

Linux overall has an amazing separation of concerns structure (inherited from the POSIX tradition). The user-facing details you might be worried about like the interface design etc. are all handled by separate teams that expect their base to be reliable and stable so they can make other changes.

I'm sure some people have obligations to use BLS definitions for something, and those people have to care (should or not). But, my employers seemed to draw titles from a hat, and the IRS lets you write whatever.

New iOS/iPadOS app to track 47 stats for your favorite CFB teams – Outrank
The short, simple answer is that pretty much every successful business has a combination of a shortage of technical resources and a priority list of things that matter to their customers. Some initiatives just don't get top priority at a given point in time. I can totally see why Dropbox might not prioritize this work right now because as of this moment, the client works as-is on M1 Macs.
I just released a new iOS app that's purpose-built for fans of American college football.

Outrank is the easiest way to check how your favorite FBS teams stack up against the rest. It shows you where your team ranks in 47 different tracked statistics compared to the other 129 FBS teams.

You can also compare the most intriguing matchups of the week, set your favorite teams, and more.

I built Outrank because I needed it. I host a college football podcast and wanted a quick way to find where my teams stacked up, but (surprisingly) couldn't find a service that provided it without a lot of pain in the process. Outrank is a simple solution to that problem.

It’s free with no ads. I’d love it if you checked it out and gave me some feedback! It's built with Swift, SwiftUI, Core Data, CloudKit, and AWS.

I haven't been following this story -- has Frances Haugen actually revealed any fraud or illegal activities? This disclosure, while interesting, seems to fall squarely under material that should be kept confidential. As an outsider looking in, I'm wondering if she joined Facebook solely to collect a bunch of material she could disclose to the public, which seems unethical.
Around a week ago, I came across this link here on HN that suggested that there's a new form of meth:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28938888

The theory is that new meth is based on a synthesis using a chemical called P2P rather than the old synthesis that used ephedrine. There are claims that this new form of meth is chemically different in some what that started creating schizophrenia around 2017.

However, when I looked into it, there doesn't seem to be much support for this idea. Current meth is more pure than ever before. Some people suggest that the use of lead could be responsible, but not all P2P syntheses use that, and it wasn't common in 2017. Instead, it seems like the explanation is just the obvious one: P2P synthesis has resulted in people doing much, much more meth than ever before.
That’s always been my rule of thumb, too. I still remember defeating NetNanny on the PC my parents gave me 20 years ago. My dad was proud of me.
Oh yeah. To be clear, I still love Blender. It's just that some of these changes (like different icons, moving property fields to different places, changing the default keyboard shortcuts), seem like they're coming from the wrong place. It can get hard to search for information about doing specific things in Blender and making sure the video you end up finding (cuz it's always a video, sigh) matches the version of Blender you're using.

I've spent so much time watching videos and being confused because the fields they show are not in the same place in the version I'm using. It's one of the reasons I choose to stick to the default preferences as much as possible: I don't use Blender often enough to know exactly what I'm doing all the time, so I want my system to match what other people are presenting.

Laws don't remove the motivation, they just create an incentive to do the opposite. That's fine if you just want a company to fear punishment, but you quickly get to the point where compliance is an expensive exercise in finding loopholes.
> 1. Because ad-supported hardware makes for low prices and people prefer to pay less.

Is this actually true though? I'd love to see an analysis of pricing in relation to the amount of adware a TV has. My gut instinct is that you would not see a significant price decrease for more adware-laden models.
I, as a user, do not give a rats ass if it's a protocol or server. I don't want to lose functionality just because some group of devs prefers to do a rewrite of something.

I've used gnome wayland, and sway. It's pretty damning that so few other window managers support wayland due to the sheer difficulty of the task.
What's the alternative? Unless you're buying TVs specifically made for office meeting rooms or hotel lobbies, pretty much every major manufacturer makes exclusively "Smart" TVs on their higher-end models, and those smart TVs include various bits of ads/tracking.

No, for the most part, Hack no longer considers PHP 'upstream'. Exceptions are things like security fixes to extension functions, if that particular extension function was derived from PHP.

In end-user space, Pi has a bunch of good niches:

* There's an application that runs on Linux already and you want a cheap way of running it in a small space -- like a shairport-sync audio client feeding a local music system, or a web-connected clock/calendar/tasklist/notification.

* Very low cost, replaceable desktop for a kiosk, a classroom, whatever where it will run either simple office applications or be mostly a web terminal. (If you just want low cost, a used laptop might be a better value -- but if you need to be able to repeat and/or replace it, a Pi is better).

* Friendly target for someone who doesn't really understand embedded systems and will be tinkering for a long time.

I struggled to understand that you compute score/TDP

> Waiting for apple fanboys telling me something like "but TDP is not a good measure"...

Not an Apple fan, but TDP is not even a measurement, it's a specification of the heat dissipation required for that CPU. So in theory it corresponds to the maximum power dissipated by the CPU under load, but in practice two machines with the same TDP may be equipped with differently dimensioned heatsinks which will influence your metric.
You should consider using a real average power consumption measurement to establish your metric.
To clarify, xhp-js was not server-side rendering - it's a framework for generating javascript code, and getting an DOM element ID for a react element that the hack code can refer to and use elsewhere, e.g. by passing to some other generated JS.

Ask HN: Do you know uninteresting but useful scientific discoveries?
I'm having mixed feelings about the starting assumption of the article "That's interesting!" by sociologist Murray S. Davis. The starting assumption is that it is desirable for scientists to produce interesting theories. Is it really?

The article goes on to analyze what makes a proposition interesting and what makes one non-interesting.

Do you have examples that contradict the assumption that interesting is necessarily desirable in science? Can you think of non-interesting scientific propositions that were very useful?
