Nothing like a good winter of blackouts to... energize political momentum.

Even this winter, clearly still pre-EV dominance, is going to be interesting - if it's cold in europe for long, and if Russia decides to use their current position of power for a nasty short-term shock, that could really shift people's willingness to accept a few sacrifices in the coming years.

I wouldn't count them out just because they've got issues; those things might change quite quickly - some of the needed infrastructure can be built in just a few years, once the political will is there, which currently is lacking. Sure, it's a problem, but on this topic: what else is new.
I'd say it's the recommended book for type systems. For type theory, I'd recommend "Certified Programming with Dependent Types" by Adam Chlipala or "Programming Language Foundations in Agda" by Philip Wadler.

I routinely got 500+ miles range out of my diesel TDI Jetta... I believe it was a 2002.
The UK government made a lot of noise on this when they were desperate to steer headlines away from more controversial topics (Brexit). Since then, energy prices have skyrocketed. Trying to force a transition while electricity is so dear will prove deeply unpopular, so I fully expect a postponement of the current "deadlines".
Yes, we use AquaSec and it’s absolutely the same engine. Trivy is so good we were tempted to drop AquaSec entirely as we only use it in our CI and this covers our requirements.

His other ex and I got to tell our children that their father died without saying goodbye to them, or that he loved them, or to my knowledge, left a note for them.

This rubs me the wrong way. Also the countless posts dissing someone who committed suicide.
As far as I can see, this is a nice prototype but not a practical concept. This car is using a methanol fuel cell. They seem to be quite rare yet and not ready for mass production. And there is no mass production of green methanol yet. It would of course be much more storeable than hydrogen.

Most people weren't running VMS nor Unix as their desktop OS in the 90s. Post-90s we had OS X (Unix) and Windows 2000/XP (NT)...basically the servers became consumer desktop operating systems because Microsoft and Apple realised exactly your point (and desktop hardware became powerful enough to run it too).

And that brings me back to my original point: recent versions macOS feels like a departure from the rock solid mainframe platforms and a return to the old monolithic kernels that would panic every few days.

> anarchism isn't about a complete lack of power structures, it's about demanding that there are adequate reasons for them to exist.

Power structures will appear no matter what you do, the only question is if the system you have is powerful enough to fight power structures. If a guy who promises free virgin slaves to every soldier who fights for him can take over your anarchist state then it is too weak to exist and will disappear almost immediately. So someone with at least that much power must be present. It can take the form of a king, a president, a general, a dictator, or even a council of many people, but the power has to be held by someone or someone else will take that power and become that person themselves.

Ask HN: How can I make wired Airpods Pro?
I mostly use my Airpods Pro for their Active Noise Cancelling whilst working at my desk for ~8 hours a day.

I'm finding their relatively short battery life and gradually deteriorating capacity highly frustrating (and ultimately wasteful).

Is there a way to power these in wired mode? Surely something like a USB-C cable can do this?

For comparison, I still have and use my original wired EarPods with their 3.5mm jack from back in the day - which work perfectly after many years of heavy use.

I wish Apple would release a USB-C wired version of these with Active Noise Cancelling like in their AirPods Pro.

It would be helluva practical for those long work sessions and also better for the environment.

My next best bet is the Bose QC20 - but even these have a quasi-battery solution which ultimately depletes.
It's more that they spent the entirety of the Cold War period propping up any dictators they could find as long as they weren't communists, and it usually backfired.

Tesla is also far ahead in the software game. It will become more and more important as a way to differentiate EVs from the competition and younger generations are prioritizing software a lot higher in general. People are used to iOS & Android levels of UX, and when you step into most cars, it's - well not pretty. It will break some well established car manufactures, because it's a world they don't understand and can't adapt. Like when a lot of old media companies simply died due to the advent of the internet. The only one that seems to be paying attention is Daimler, they must have seen the transition coming and have been making huge investments into developing their digital services for a while now.

Actual real threats which affect and kill the worlds poorest on a daily basis today.
Definitely agree, though I think that line was always blurry (see Emacs' org-mode originating in 2003, but built on top of outline-mode which is even older), but _now_ might be a good time to approach the wider population with more polished/opinionated (UI-wise) tools.
> What sort of tracing system do you imagine implementing to achieve containment?

Ask Taiwan? They had 39 cases in the past week, only two of which were local, and the latest of those was six days ago.
https://www.cdc.gov.tw/Bulletin/List/MmgtpeidAR5Ooai4-fgHzQ

Of course they've never had more than 554 cases in a day, so it was a bit easier to get down from the peak. In most other countries people don't seem to have the patience to keep up countermeasures for long enough to achieve local elimination.
Because it takes 3-5x as much energy to heat rock than water, and at least twice as much as many other common materials. Sorry to say, even air is more efficient depending on the scale of time you're trying to solve for, though its ability to retain that heat is directly limited by the properties of the insulated box -- like a house, for example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity

https://theengineeringmindset.com/specific-heat-capacity-of-...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage#Heat_st...

You're going to be tempted to reference the last link as evidence in your favor, but it's very much the opposite. It's saying the advantage concrete has is its ability to be heated to higher temperatures than water. Except it doesn't get to break the laws of physics and still requires 3-5x as much energy input, which is why it's really only practical for large scale operations that can safely heat the concrete to extreme temperatures, using massive amounts of electricity that would otherwise be wasted due to low grid demand. They are still losing at least 75% efficiency in that process, but it's slightly better than losing 100%, as long as you pretend there aren't any environmental impacts of producing all that extra concrete.

You'll notice the first installation referenced in this section actually uses 1,000 cubic feet of additional reinforced concrete and an entire home's worth of additional electricity to supply a single home with 50% of its heating and hot water. That's a second foundation's worth of concrete, for perspective.

And moreover, as we've already established, this concept isn't new at all. If it were legitimately more efficient and more practical than alternatives, every home would already be using its foundation as heat storage. But they don't, because it's not.
Lifespan of modern electronics is pretty good. Just happen to have that 2010 Sony AVR, likely the same model GP has mentioned. It's doing fine, along with its contemporary HDTV panel.

And I don't think it's the luck; people get a bit nostalgic for the reality that never existed. Most of the iconic 1970/80s systems now touted as an example of build quality were top shelf equipment, no costs spared in their day. Yes they are repairable, but it was more a function of low integration technology of their time than any deliberate philosophy of their designers.

I think the one clever thing that Lowtax did was require the membership fee to post. I think this worked as a really good filter away from people who are just going to post spam and random crap all over the place.

Honestly, the thing I most remember Lowtax specifically for is his Gaming Garbage YouTube channel, particularly the first two years of his collaboration with Schmorky. Those were extremely funny videos that lacked all pretense, and sadly once it was determined that Schmorky was horrible and Lowtax seemed to have increasing trouble finding collaborators, the channel got pretty unwatchable. Still, the old videos from 2013-2014 are classic, and they're worth checking out.

People who don't understand respiratory viruses are making absurd claims. We've been trying to erradicate the influenza virus (flu) for more than 50 years. Which means, tons of money has been put to find a cure to something would help everyone and make phrama rich, a win win! But they haven't been able to, and most scientist believe it to be a stupid task which don't know if can ever be achieved, since the animal reservoir of the virus is too big. I knew the vaccine wouldn't work out and more given the fact they were using a new technology never used before. I don't know guys, I am not that smart and could see that coming, I like to think that pharma has been lying to us, otherwise it means, there isn't competent people in the "Virus Field" and you should be worry wheter is one thing or the other
It's the workers' unions, not the companies per se that are not happy with this. Internal Combustion engines and cars have thousands of moving parts which still require a ton of manual labor for assembly, regardless of automation. EVs have something like few 10s of moving parts meaning that you need way fewer workers. Therefore, if you consider that the automotive industry is the biggest employer in Germany, you get why this outcome is not surprising at all.

Finally, companies don't want to anger the unions for something that is happening anyway regardless of their support or not. As soon as EVs cost the same as ICE cars the transition will happen naturally as the cost of ownership is already much lower.
> But people not getting vaccines are the reason we're here!!! /s

> Seriously, can't we just accept reality and get back to normal. Those that want the vaccine should get it and those that don't shouldn't. I think the harm being caused by the ridiculous mandates at this point have done equal harm.

People seem to forget all those folks who can't get their surgeries, early cancer screening, undiagnosed chest pain etc. Those are deaths and suffering that won't ever appear in official covid mortality stats but they are out there, everywhere. During Spring 2021 in India outbreak alone, officially there was 500k deaths, but heightened mortality for that period was more like 5 millions (that covers undetected covid and everything else).

A more general rant - it pains me to no end see how covid crisis brutally highlighted the fact that large part of population is utterly irrational, emotional, believes all kinds of lies very easily and is, is selfish, arrogant, self-centered, and for the lack of better word, plain dumb. You can't win with dumb. We saw it earlier with elections, we saw it on football stadiums etc. but this is worse. And I don't see a way out.
How is that not the same thing then for your user bookmark case?
I think the terms have more narrow and specific meanings in the context of fighting disease.

From https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su48a7.htm

>Control: The reduction of disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity or mortality to a locally acceptable level as a result of deliberate efforts; continued intervention measures are required to maintain the reduction. Example: diarrhoeal diseases.

>Elimination of disease: Reduction to zero of the incidence of a specified disease in a defined geographical area as a result of deliberate efforts; continued intervention measures are required. Example: neonatal tetanus.

>Elimination of infections: Reduction to zero of the incidence of infection caused by a specific agent in a defined geographical area as a result of deliberate efforts; continued measures to prevent re-establishment of transmission are required. Example: measles, poliomyelitis.

>Eradication: Permanent reduction to zero of the worldwide incidence of infection caused by a specific agent as a result of deliberate efforts; intervention measures are no longer needed. Example: smallpox.

>Extinction: The specific infectious agent no longer exists in nature or in the laboratory. Example: none

For many models, electric cars have the same, if not cheaper TCO already. That trend is going to continue, very soon they will be cheaper than ICE cars even on purchase. In 5 years from now the question rather will be: how would the general population afford ICE vehicles?

I beg your pardon, but - how would you translate it instead? Edit: sorry, is it because of 'morgenstund' → 'early bird'? It should be illegitimate to go in that direction of metaphor - in fact, the engine probably thought that "morning time" is the metaphor and "early bird" the more direct reference -, nonetheless there is surely a definite link.

"Since the end of World War II the United States has

* endeavored to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments, most of which were democratically elected;

* grossly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries;

* attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders;

* dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries;

* attempted to suppress a populist or nationalist movement in 20 countries."

That was as of 2013. I think all the numbers are higher now.
No, you wouldn't. If influenza viruses didn't mutate the way they do, you'd inevitably get infected (whether vaccinated or not) and you would have natural immunity such that the benefit of getting vaccinated every year would be miniscule unless you were in a high-risk category. So in this scenario, an annual "flu shot" wouldn't be a thing for the general population.

It might, but isn't one of the goals of these modern hybrid kernels to capture hardware failures and log it instead of crashing the entire kernel?

Windows manages it (most of the time). Linux and FreeBSD manage it and they're technically still described as monolithic. macOS, on the other hand, throws a hissyfit and everyone then blames the hardware rather than the error handling.

I bet if we were talking about Windows people would take great pleasure in mocking Microsoft so I find it weird that Apple is exempt from the same criticism.
Currently Tesla has to ship all their vehicles to Germany. Once Berlin factory starts rolling I expect the game to change dramatically.

I see what you mean. By producing the content you can verify the cryptographic hash. Okay, I misunderstood previously.

Yes, that is meaningful. What usually happens in the case is you just as well use a content-addressing system like ipfs for the URI.

Yes, you could just as well store just the hash. Very reasonable.
Tesla is doing way better in the supply chain crisis than VW and other carmakers. Granted, their volume is much lower, but it is still a sign for things that they are doing better.
What every IT person needs to know about OpenBSD Part 3: That packet filter
This series aims to highlight the project’s signature security features and development practices — razor-sharp focus on correct and secure code coupled with continuing code audit — as well as the project’s role as a source of innovation in security practices and an ‘upstream’ source for numerous widely-used components such as OpenSSH, PF, LibreSSL and others. Part 1 focused on the history, Part 2 focused on usage and user experience, and this final part will looks at that packet filter (PF).
Total shift? No. It's possible for urban areas in developed countries, assuming we solve the current energy distribution issues. Nuclear is slowly getting back on the agenda, and renewables are slowly taking market share from fossil fuels, so that might actually happen if combined with massive upgrades to local and regional public transport systems.

Even in places like the Nordic countries and Western Europe, massive infrastructure upgrades needs to be put in place to allow people in the rural areas to get rid of ICE's. And that's personal use. Getting forestry and agriculture to switch to electric will take many decades.

We need synthetic fuels produced with renewable/nuclear energy, and we need them fast. Yes, EV's are nice and they will cover a lot of the use-cases, but they're not a silver bullet to end all worries.

In my opinion, we need stop burning things. When we have the technology to heat, cook, or move without burning stuff we need to use it and kill the old technologies.

In theory, hydrogen fuel cell is perfectly fine. But then we reach the other problem: there won't be any infrastructure. Hydrogen, e-fuels, etc. It is just too expensive. Maybe fine for a few rich people driving on a track.

The problem is, Tesla's are the only electric car that makes sense to buy, although VW's ID4 is a really good car as well. The BMW and Mercedes-Benz electric versions are stupid expensive, with inferior technical specifications, the range, the power and the price point are all missing the mark.

Why pay 50k Euros for a BMW/Mercedes with 350km range, while you can get a model 3 with 500km range for 42k (or the long range one with 600km range for 50k instead)?

VW's ID4 is the only one that can keep up with Tesla in price/performance ratio, while having good range.
