I would absolutely pay for this feature and it will be enough of differentiator for me to pick specific phone model. I live close to major metro area and I do not have cell connection on a regular basis starting from ski resort with spotty connection (does not work at all on some runs) to walk (not even hike) in the closest state park. Ability to use Messenger withtout cell is easily $200-300 feature I would pay for.

On antenna - you can probably build purpose-specific satellites for text messaging that does not require big antenna. Iridium is 485miles high orbit - you can probably have satellites at closer to 150-200 miles elevation
I see you missed the announcement last week. Whether to believe it is up to you.
The government site for purchasing I-bonds requires you to input your password with the mouse using a virtual keyboard.
Youtube is massive, I think their basic unit of measure is millions. One vote wont affect their statistics.
That's a lot of stipulations. I wonder how strict they are on proving that you did all 9 steps and substeps for 46 weeks, like I'm not even sure how I would prove a lot of those things (linkedin, phone calls, texts) happened except with screenshots.
Somehow people managed to develop useful software before NPM and node and so on, without having thousands of very small dependencies. Maybe it's because the stuff built in to Javascript is nearly useless? And the older languages had a standard library that included most of the useful stuff you'd need to build something?
In that sense, this is a pretty big step because for the first time there is a quantum computer that cannot be simulated by a classical one.
It's also expected they will have a processor with over 400qubits next year and over 1000 in 2 years. This are huge leaps.

Still they aren't currently doing anything useful and need to prove themselves.
I couldn't find it in the demo, but having an overview map, or a mini-map overlay, would help a lot.

Or a way to zoom out & zoom back in?

Otherwise I'm worried people will never explore far enough to see everything that's available.
Ah you're right that would be pretty dangerous. I was hoping it'd be possible to avoid sending an OTP token the user has to paste but I suppose that's necessary to bind the two contexts together.

Then I guess I'd have the backend send the user a link with an auth token after joining, that way at least no pasting needs to happen.
So go on Rumble or Odyseey's hosting and don't worry about it.

It's ok to have acceptable use policy and moderation, but when you aren't running on google or amazon computers there's a lot more leeway and less sudden termination.

Never seen genocide downplayed this hard

But sure, releasing a bio attack on accident then.

Basically a bio version of Chernobyl, worse scale more deaths.

Plus the concentration camps. If that doesn't do it, this small thing from Russia won't.
> We determined that this vulnerability was due to inconsistent authorization checks and validation of data across several microservices that handle requests to the npm registry. In this architecture, the authorization service was properly validating user authorization to packages based on data passed in request URL paths

Would 2FA have prevented that? If not then them loudly promoting 2FA before even mentioning this issue seems odd.
> Few were sufficiently correct that people have forgotten who discovered what they discovered.

This is laughable. Most of our culture was once philosophy, and I sure don't know whose. If you define philosophy as “that which has not escaped the realm of theoretical philosophy”, then sure. But we use practical philosophy every day!
What do you make this mix out of?
That's microsoft's 90 meme. People used to mention each other by their email addresses, so bill gates was mentioned as billG. Typical billG general weirdness.
Why is this based on “hours viewed”.

That seems to penalize tv shows and shorts.

Unless this is meant for Wallstreet to convey hours eyeballs are spent on Netflix.
No, it suggests that these are money losing mines.

India's coal usage is not only increasing, but they have set official goals to increase it even further:

From TFA:

Power demand in India is expected to grow faster than anywhere in the world over the next two decades.

[...]
Coal India aims for 1 billion tonnes by 2024
Meeting that demand will not fall to people like Raju, but to Coal India.

It is already the world's largest miner, and aims to increase production to 1 billion tonnes a year by 2024.

However the percentage of coal in the total electrical output of india will fall because they are also trying to increase renewables.

That's what a lot of people don't understand. Both India and China have an insatiable need for energy. It's not at all a contradiction that coal usage will grow while the percentage of electricity generated from coal will fall. In fact, China defines "net zero" as 20% or less of total energy being from fossil fuels by 2050, and it's quite easy to achieve that but still have actual fossil fuel usage increase between now and then. India is in a similar position.
That section in the Twitter link can be fixed fast is what I'm thinking but then I remember that B.C. is heavily unionized and my optimism fades.
Russia admits to anti-satellite missile test but denies ‘dangerous behavior’
Yeah, it's annoying there is no purity spec on the battery acid, but in all likelihood, it's pretty pure. One could always test it.

I mean I bet nitric acid would work great for that purpose, it's just a bit more expensive and harder to get in some places, as you mention. It's definitely commercially available in the USA though.

Duda diesel has it: https://www.dudadiesel.com/search.php?query=nitric

Duda also has sulfuric which is likely higher purity, but you seemed to express some concerns about working with corrosives.

I'm a former chemist, so anything short of super angry chemicals like piranha solution, I'm not too phased :D
The reason for the weird abbreviations is that these are internal email/Exchange aliases. You quickly get into the habit of using those when you have to deal with email threads or meetings in which there are, say, three Brads - if not using aliases, if the conversation later has to be followed up on, it can be tricky to figure out who you're supposed to contact based on names alone.
> Whenever I come across something I don't understand, I will try to figure it out. If it seems utterly weird, that's even more motivation to figure it out! I really can't imagine this mode of thought where you read something, do not immediately grasp it, and then feel that somehow it's wrong/bad/obscurantist. Like, how do you learn anything at all?

It's a matter of the tone, and also the fact that when I do read carefully and figure out what they're saying, I often think "wow, I could have put that in much simpler terms with no loss of information."

I don't feel this way about literally any other topic besides modern literary criticism (and stuff in that family like modern continental philosophy). Even analytic philosophy looking at similar topics doesn't normally feel willfully opaque in the same way, and I'm happy to dig in and learn the more difficult aspects of what they're saying.

Do you think this is due to being prejudiced about this exact area and nothing else?
Does this work help humanity or corporations? Could a large portion be given to the commons instead of sold to the highest bidder? Could we reinvent what the internet means and use this capacity for public and shared municipalities ran by the people for the people?

When the onpaste is easy to spot it's one key (Delete) after selecting that attribute or event versus a minimum of around 14 give or take keys depending on how good your console autocompletion is. When it is not easy to find, yeah I next try just setting the DOM value.
Ironically, they've only hijacked our ecosystems.

Now we need seperate access controls, seperate networking tools, seperate monitoring and diagnostics. It's becoming apearent to me that this kind of stuff is the scam of the century.
The second episode is a little bit slow, a breather to show you more about their lives without a bunch of cheesy flashbacks, but yes it does pick up again after that.
I think that's tangential to my point. The concerns in my post you replied to about system interdependence making it hard for a monitoring system to separate cause and effect, even if that monitoring system is itself working properly.
> but a rather paltry 4 ft by 7 ft payload bay

IIRC there's a scaling limit with modern military/spy satellites on two axes: radar cross section and thermal output both grow with volume and make the satellite easier to target in a real conflict (which is ostensibly what many of them are for). The big ones like the satellite NRO donated to NASA with the 2.4 m diameter mirrors are easy to disable and AFAIK there's not much point recovering them anyway. The ones used for telecom with recoverable military encryption keys tend to be much smaller. For example, the 2nd gen Iridium constellation satellites are 30x40x70 cm.
That's fair. So why are you posting in this thread? If you follow your strategy, you would save a lot of time no?

What I'm trying to say is please don't hijack HackerNews threads to just complain.

The most popular way to defeat email based user privacy services (as provided by Apple, Firefox, etc.) is to require a phone number for "verification" or "security" purposes.

In addition to being harder to acquire in bulk, phone numbers serve as a convenient non-anonymous and universal user identification key that can be easily matched by data brokers and shared to track customers across multiple businesses.

Facebook pioneered this approach by adopting SMS-based 2FA as a means of acquiring phone numbers to match users with purchases at partner businesses.

Phone numbers also enable businesses to send unsolicited text messages and robocalls.
It's such a good show.

Considering people skip heart meds when they can't afford em, it feels like we're all playing.

At the same time, I feel American shows are too politically correct, too safe. Doesn't make for good tv.
Yes.

>The dossier, on the other hand, contained specific allegations of wrong-doing

The dossier was opposition research, paid for by the Clinton campaign, and treated as serious allegations by the media and the FBI. And now we know that the FBI, and most likely the media as well, knew it was utter nonsense from the start. There isn't any confusion here, except the confusion how it seems that nobody involved in that disaster of a smear campaign--that was used for dodgy wiretaps of an opposition campaign--has been held accountable.

>One is the garden variety criticism that all candidates get when they are running for the Presidency

That's nonsense, and it's concerning that you seem to actually believe that. The point was that utterly anodyne Mitt Romney was cast as that season's Worse Than Hitler role, and you seem to have completely forgotten that. You are correct that it would have been somewhat more difficult to pin a pee tape on Romney, but if you can't see him being cast as a crypto Russian agent, if required, then you are terribly naive. The lack of any reporting of Hunter's laptop, outside of government officials, current and former, dismissing it as more Russian trickery, just proves the point that there is a manufactured narrative.

Our government doesn't work, and the sense-making organisms that we rely on to keep the government accountable, i.e. the media, seems to vary between corrupt and incompetent. That's the real problem.
Hi! I work on Skittish. There's a minimap (and spatial audio, chat, emotes, and a bunch of other settings/features) in the full Skittish app that didn't make it into the demo. Create a new event and try it out!
Give everyone a UBI weekly or even daily and make contracts that commit you to forfeiting your future UBI illegal/unenforceable (they're not really possible "on chain" anyway). Sure you can lose / gamble away everything you've got _now_, but tomorrow you still have enough to eat…

Seems like you could have it both ways, if you wanted
Impressive level of paranoia. That said, I'd declare it your 'password manager'.
They could have used the main display to show the numbers but that would be too complicated, so they need a special display for numbers.
The hardware behind that number display could thus be considered a form of GPU.
Why would they be? There's no reason to use class based components at all, except to support legacy code.
I hate to be the one to break the bad news to you, but... That's pretty much how all science works.

Categorization is a leaky abstraction. Use them when they're useful, and ignore them when they become more trouble than they're worth.
Non-determinism is a red herring. It's trivial to model and produce a non-deterministic computer given a deterministic one and since source of non-determinism (it's in fact impossible to produce a truly deterministic computer in real life).

Conversely, you can interpret QM to mean that the universe evolves perfectly deterministically, except that no particular observer can predict in which branch they will find themselves.

Also, non-determinism has little to do with computability. All known rules of physics are computable, even if you include the Born rule for non-determinism. A quantum computer is computable by a Turing machine (in exponential time, as far as we know).

Wtf!

Is it even legal to buy something to shut it down so clearly? Isn't it against any antitrust law?

Even just ethically it is so so so abused. "Let's buy the service that gives for free what we sell as Twitter blue to create the value by killing the competition"

English has about 1 bit per character of entropy so if you type a normal expression it is going to give you ~60 bits of entropy. Random words will give you something like 2-3 bits per character so ~120-180 bits for a 60 character string. Random alphanumeric strings have about 5.95 bits of entropy so you get 178 bits from 30 of them.

So your comparison is somewhat right but only with an annoying definition of haiku and dictionary of words. However, a less good scheme should still be fine

The only purpose of the extension is to make it convenient and easy to change your default on Chrome. Convenience usually wins on the internet.

The extension has permissions to write to one field. No read access. Chrome flags and lets you verify permissions when you install an extension.

Sadly, most users on the internet would not go into their settings to make a change.

Of course, here on HN there are a lot of experts who care about their privacy and can make that change manually.

We've listened and it's not required anymore to try it out. Being fully open is ultimately more aligned with our values of trust, facts and kindness.
They are modern takes on the Space Shuttle and Concorde respectively, but with the benefit of hindsight as well as half a century of advances in material science and control systems. But really the defining feature is that the Space Shuttle and Concorde were government-funded prestige projects, while their modern incarnations are economically viable.

More desparate measures to stave off the inevitable IPv4 address shortage.

Time has taught us that the mass adoption of IPv6 will not happen until it becomes a painful necessity, so there’ll probably many more years of desperate measures like these to come.

This is going to be a huge PITA for network and security people because of all the apps designed as if the local-ness of 127/8 was carved in stone.
Quoting globalise83 from the other thread for summing it up perfectly:

>"we received a report to our security bug bounty program of a vulnerability that would allow an attacker to publish new versions of any npm package using an account without proper authorization."

>"This vulnerability existed in the npm registry beyond the timeframe for which we have telemetry to determine whether it has ever been exploited maliciously. However, we can say with high confidence that this vulnerability has not been exploited maliciously during the timeframe for which we have available telemetry, which goes back to September 2020."

>Any version of any npm package published before September 2020 could have been tampered with by anyone aware of that exploit and no-one would be any the wiser. That is pretty bad news.

Right, so the solution to information bubbles fighting is to create more reinforced bubbles. Makes perfect sense.
Gargoyle is based on OpenWRT, but has extensive options for bandwidth control of individual devices/MACs, plus the ability to force everything to use Tor.

I don't know how UDP would work over that routing, and if QUIC would work (at all).

I imagine that this can be done with OpenWRT, but many plugins and custom configuration would be required to achieve equivalent functionality.

>I find it impossible to discuss anything negative about Trump with his supporters

You can be negative about Trump pretty much everywhere and nobody would bat an eye. You can even spew lies like him peeing on proustites and it will be on the news nonstop for years.

Many people who like Trump see that sort of cultish behavior against him and turn around and defend Trump on everything. If people were more reasonable with their negativity of Trump, I have no doubt most Trump supporters would admit Trump's flaws.
Using italic font for placeholder text would help to quickly distinguish it from actual typed input - some apps do that. But, is it something that can be controlled on a webpage?
For those thinking "what can we possibly do?"

The best answer I can provide is to nuke your entire software supply chain from orbit and start over with something new that doesn't require you to depend on potentially hundreds of arbitrary 3rd parties. Factor into this all of your tooling and infrastructure vendors as well.

You might not like our particular brand of medicine, but we are finding massive success in these supply chain matters with a pure Microsoft stack: .NET core/5/6, GitHub, Azure, VS2022, Server 2019, et. al. We also technically use SQLite, but no one has ever attempted to probe us on that vendor, and it is incorporated well enough into the Microsoft death star (Microsoft.Data.Sqlite) to pass as yet another defensive armament at this point. We avoided shitty javascript web stacks by using technologies like Blazor, or just hand-rolling a little vanilla javascript when required (the horror, i know).

The reason we like this path is that we now require virtually zero additional third party dependencies for building our B2B products. .NET6 covers nearly 100% of the functions we require. On top of this we have 1-2 convenience nugets like Dapper (StackOverflow, et. al.), but everything else is System.* or Microsoft.*. The only other 3rd party items we consume into the codebase come from vendors of our customers as part of our integration stack - typically in the form of WCF contracts or other codegen items. Now, we do hedge for the inevitable Microsoft framework churn by not getting too deep into certain pools like AspNetCore. For example, we have rolled all of our own authentication, logging & tracing middleware, since this is the area they seem most hellbent on changing over time.

Certainly, Microsoft has, can, and will drop the ball, but they also have a very long track record available to build [dis]trust upon. For us, we went with the trust path. If our customers run us through the due diligence gauntlet (and they will - we're in the banking industry), we can produce a snarky ~1 item list of vendors that makes life much easier for everyone involved. No one has ever given us a hard time for doing business with Microsoft. Typically, everyone we work with is also to some degree. Is this bad? Maybe. I am ambivalent about the whole thing because of how much energy they have apparently put into the open source side of things. I have actually been able to contribute to their process on GitHub and watch it come out the other side into a final release I could use to correct a problem we were having.
