>there is nothing at all stopping you from paying people in Africa or South America to buy electric cars

I can think of tons of problems with this.

It requires more scarce than resources like lithium to make cars.

You can be scammed by people selling the car and using that money to buy a house and a cheap commission engine. You don't have the issue with carbon capture.

Your likely to face much more political pushback for subsidizing others carbon use. "Let's make our country carbon neutral" can resonate with people as it's cleaning up after ourselves. That's much easier to convince people to do.

Can Africa and South America even use them? Is it reasonable for them, do they have the infrastructure? I know in some countries electricity can be scarce-- and power companies turn off the supply at night.

It's cheaper to scrub carbon, than it is to fix the societal and economic issues across the globe required to make passing out electric vehicles work
Who cares where it’s produced? If farmers in a developing country can get off aid and earn a living, good for them. I do care how it’s produced.
If 10% of them grow 90% of the food then it's completely consistent.

Your misunderstanding is that a subsidy is not aimed at one US farm versus another, it's US farms versus foreign farms.

The reason should be pretty obvious, without the subsidies they would be no US farms. And then in time of war there would be trouble.

There are a huge number of US industries that exist only to make sure that US capacity will remain even in time of war.

The same goal could be accomplished with tariffs, but then the price of food would be higher.
Well, not really, since the better TVs are also smart TVs.
CDC definition I just quoted: "Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected."
I don't see why we would -- I don't think Unity has any individual credits listed for their engine developers. That's standard for software development, AFAIK Adobe is really the only mainstream software company that still has credits listed in their product releases.
For companies doing this, I tend to give them the phone number of their own service desk.
Given the official statements of the Taliban (ie: that Osama Bin Laden didn't cause 9/11), what exactly is your proposal?

Taliban were protecting Bin Laden, period. Their official stance on the subject is clearly false, and they were willing to go to war to provide sanctuary to Bin Laden. The main worry was that any such delays at this point would give Bin Laden more room to get away (and Bin Laden did escape: all the way to Pakistan).

So if anything, we should have pursued Bin Laden even more vigorously back then. The Taliban were successful in buying enough time for him to hide with their false diplomacy.

We were at least successful in destroying the Al Qaeda training centers in Afghanistan (successfully located, blown up, and dismantled). Maybe these bases will return now that we've left Afghanistan, but we at least rendered them unable to train new terrorists for the last 20 years or so (and the new Taliban regime officially doesn't want to sanction any such training sites anymore. They've got an ISIS-K problem because of it too)
Yeah, this article is the first thing that came to mind for me as well.

I still need to explore how AppRunner compares to CodeBuild for this purpose.
It depends on what definition of "illusion" would be useful e.g., you don't see what your eyes receive, you see what your brain predicts (hallucinates). All models are false, some are useful.
The bride-ale thing is at least partly true- it does come from bride-ale, but in Old English the word "ale" didn't only mean beer, but also a feast or party at which people drank it. There were other similar occasions, including the "church-ale" to raise money for repair of a church.

AFAIK the only survival of this term is the "Morris ale", which is a gathering of Morris dancers (who do tend to drink a lot of ale).

In terms of female brewers, it is interesting that the surname "Brewster" exists and specifically refers to an ancestor who was a female brewer. The "-ster" suffix in English used to be the female equivalent of "-er" (as it still is in Dutch).

The only regular English word in which "-ster" survives is spinster, but it also survives in other occupational surnames like Webster (a female weaver) and Baxter (a female baker).

Most things about witches and their persecution tend to owe more to myth than history, though...

This seems like it would work, but requires a centralized point to enforce it. Otherwise, it seems that you could trigger a "split brain" scenario where in one repo a key is revoked by a malicious user, and in another the malicious user's key is revoked (or development continues). Which lineage is correct?
I used to read the Washington Post back when they ran articles like this one:

> "NSA surveillance program reaches ‘into the past’ to retrieve, replay phone calls, By Barton Gellman and Ashkan Soltani March 18, 2014"

> "The National Security Agency has built a surveillance system capable of recording “100 percent” of a foreign country’s telephone calls, enabling the agency to rewind and review conversations as long as a month after they take place, according to people with direct knowledge of the effort and documents supplied by former contractor Edward Snowden."

Those days are long gone, however. This is most likely linked to other interesting news, i.e. the NSA awarded AWS (owned by the owner of the WaPo) a $10 billion contract in Aug 2021 (and before that CIA gave a $0.6 billion contract to AWS). The purchase price of the WaPo was $0.25 billion or so. Check out that return on investment!

Basically, the WaPo is serving as the CIA/NSA propaganda arm and the rewards to the paper's owner are not unsurprising. Remember Big Brother Loves You... and such vast snooping powers would never be turned against the American people by a corrupt gang of insider criminals...

> You can predict that not emitting CO2 will cost less than emitting CO2 and then recapturing it, because it's the second law of thermodynamics.

You're mixing up watts with dollars, a mistake that "green energy" stockpickers make all the time. Consider all the energy that is hitting the Sahara. It's worth zero dollars, because it can't economically be used - but what if you could capture and transport it somehow, you know, like in a fuel?

> It takes about the number of miles that the average person drives in a year.

That's the lowest estimate I have ever heard - do you have a source for that?

> Also, the CO2 it takes to make an electric car has a lot to do with the fact that existing vehicles and power generation emit CO2, which goes away as we get more electric vehicles and non-carbon power generation.

Sure, but economics of scale apply to all technologies and unless you let the market do its thing, you won't know the minima and maxima.

> So put a price on CO2.

Exactly.

> The point isn't that subsidizing electric cars and solar panels is the best solution to the problem, it's that subsidizing carbon capture is strictly worse.

You don't know that. Ideally, nothing should be subsidized. However, in a market where profit is sooner found with dog meme cryptocurrency and other harebrained schemes, subsidies are arguably necessary, and then you shouldn't put all the money into directions that have already been mostly explored.

I dont get that impression at all. It was a clear easy to read article, setting the context doesnt or explaining the general environment doesnt reduce the credibility of whats said in the article at.. I couldnt see anything that sounds conspiritorial or unhinged. Now if I was cynical, Id say that would be the sort of thing a person representing the surveillance marketing industry would say to smear the author. Cory Doctorow is a well known advocate for privacy on the internet, so he may have made a lot of enemies in that industry, who may try to attack his credibility whenever and wherever they can. I found the article to be quite illuminating, especially about vizio and the lack of permission to monitor your activities.

yeah I had all kinds of issues casting to the vizio smartcast thing. it's their built in chromecast implementation I guess. I had to routinely power cycle the tv, sometimes by unplugging it.

reset the tv and didn't connect it to wifi. Connected a dedicated chromecast. Works 100x better.

For IE5, there's two distinct obstacles to serving https.

1) It's unlikely to accept any x.509 certificates you can get issued under today's CA/B guidelines; and I'm also not sure how many CAs from then are still valid, either because they had too small of keys or they expired

2) I'm not sure if ie5 supports TLS 1.0 and if it does, it's probably not by default, because that how things were back then.

Given these conditions an https handshake is highly likely to fail, and as the server operator there's no way to provide useful information to the user in that case. If they go to your http site and you redirect them to a handshake error that you know they were going to see... That's not useful. You could be secure and not provide service... but then again, your redirect could be MITMed cause http. Or you could provide a useful service with no security.

This is a choice, not a vulnerability.

This doesn't open up any new way to attack a modern client. Modern clients would have google.com HSTS preloaded and not use http at all. But even if that's not available, a MITM that fiddles with the User-Agent to avoid getting a redirect could have fetched the search results via https and proxied them back via http, as long as the client made an http request.

Edit to add: if you could get a cert IE5 would accept, it likely wouldn't be acceptable by modern clients, so you'd need to distinguish clients from the TLS handshake (although, I guess it really is an SSL handshake for ie5?). There's no client identifier in there, but you can certainly tell the difference between modern and ancient; it gets trickier to tell the difference between ancient and pretty old or pretty old and trying to do a fallback handshake.
Im not saying any of the things you imply and really dislike your not so subtle racism or antisemitism innuendo. All I’m saying is that a certain management style born in a previous era is no longer working. I mentioned that I don’t like the ire at boomers or any particular group except for a subset of it and that is the management style. If the newer generation used the same style it won’t make a difference, what im hoping for is a fresh start.

Keys themselves are content that can be signed. The PGP Web of Trust is an untrusted system for distributing content that doesn't rely on trust in the system to be able to distribute trustable content (PGP public keys).

If the SSH method descried in TFA is to become widely used, it will all but certainly end up replicating a similar model.

Otherwise: trust keys you're given directly, or which have a sufficient verification and trust chain attached to them. This is a Hard Problem of all authentication-based crypto. E.g., in our mutual transactions with Hacker News, we're implicitly trusting the site's TLS cert 02:b3:a8:b0:57:06:45:1c:7c:80:fb:d6:e8:31:e3:5e issued by DigiCert. That implied trust is the basis for multiple trillion-dollar-valuation companies, online commerce, communications, control, and other transactions. It has numerous known limitations. And yet it remains used.

"mood-tracking the owner and trying to influence his mood through AI"

It would actually be interesting to know how to interpret the usage of AI in the context of GDPR. Since the purpose of the processing must be pre-determined, yet with AI the data collected may be used for a purpose determined by the AI. Also "mood-tracking" will certainly fall under article 9 - special categories. You might end up in a situation where you have to delete all previous data and renew the consent every time someone installs a new "app".
Ask HN: What are your best practices for interacting with Cloud
I am new to devops and we have multiple projects on GCP, with various kubernetes clusters.

What are the best practices to ensure I don't mess up? E.g. always have current project/cluster name in your prompt. What other things would you recommend?

I'm afraid of accidentally running something on wrong gcp project / cluster combination out of mistake which will inevitably happen, taking down prod or something.
That's one of the central reasons a regime change op in Saudi Arabia would have been more justified. I think the rational explanation is that Team Bush wanted war, but couldn't directly attack Iraq (the efforts to link Al Qaeda and the anthrax letters to Saddam were largely unsuccessful), so they went into Afghanistan instead.

The complete abandonment of 'nation-building' Afghanistan in 2002 as all efforts shifted to invading Iraq sort of supports this scenario.

The Mask Distraction
This is a good effort. The tech stack seem to work well and results are mostly on topic.

Some results are off though, for example this article https://morningbrief.ai/l2/0/h64qAA showed as recommendation for 'search engine results page'. Perhaps instead of a tagger consider using NLU models (embeddings).

Some recommended topics have not results like 'life extensions'.

It sometimes shows results 6+ days old - not sure why if the goal is to have a daily brief (so should be around 1-2 days old at most).

I like that you have a paid plan from start, but would probably hold off subscribing until I can get at least 3 month multi-topic trial to see if it is worth it first.

Well, "I think therefore I am" is really question begging if taken as a deduction and can be ambiguous, depending on the speaker and context, since the referent of "I" is not always clear. (i.e. does it mean mind, body, soul, etc.)
Something thinks though, and something is obviously aware; since you have direct empirical evidence of both. You don't need an argument for either.

- No Mask or distancing mandate for anyone who was vaccinated or recovered.

- Mask mandate and a negative covid test that is not older than 24/48h depending on the testing method for non vaccinated for anything outside of essential services.

> then we got AHCI over SATA

AHCI is the native SATA mode, AFAIK explicit mentions of AHCI are mostly over non-SATA interfaces (usually m.2, because an m.2 SSD can be SATA, AHCI over PCIe, or NVMe).
It would be cool if you stated your points and evidence before authoritatively declaring your thesis correct.
I'm not sure why you think it's strange. Nobody wants to wade through 90% bullshit to get to 10% useful info when the volume is high.

If the first five things you pay attention to are obviously incorrect, do you keep listening in case there's a useful nugget in there, or do you switch to someone else's conversation which isn't rife with those problems? Because you don't know if what you were listening to was 100% BS, or 90%, or 50%, but you do know it hasn't been useful so far and there are other choices.

Or, put another way, why are you conversing on HN when there's plenty of discussions on Facebook you could be contributing in, and undoubtedly some of them would have useful info? I think the same decision making process applies.
Yes I suppose that's true. Tracking can at least be defeated by simply not connecting to the internet.

Some TVs with ads actually have ads pre-loaded on them, so not connecting them isn't sufficient to defeat the ads.
The example shows the brand name being ranked 1st. For this to be a poor result for the brand it would require cannibalisation rates to be high enough to push the 15/30% fee higher than their margin - that’s not realistic because the app store price would never be at a loss to begin with (with many alreadying increasing the app store fee to match the 15/30% cut.)
In all likelihood the end result is a net profit for the developer at the expense of their competitors.

Also neglected for consideration: the developer doesn’t pay for these ads - and the scarcity isn’t high enough to meaningfully affect bid pricing over regular competition.
But is that 'official death count' any more reliable than the total count of 350,000?

It’s the story of humanity moving on from “I am my own industrial island” to inclusive effort at scale to automate away and normalize often dangerous logistical work (I am 41 and have limbless, digit less peers who had to work on family farms as teens.)

Family farms are, to me, simply a legacy social and technical effort.

The problem is old politics refusing to take reality seriously. Americans who carry on about their legacy of revolution, moving history forward, disruption!, exporting that mentality to the world, are all sad their lives are disrupted by others wanting the same agency.

Moral relativism worked for Americans while we bombed the world, impeding other nations progress, but they caught up anyway.

“There’s a warning sign on the road ahead; a lot of people saying we’d be better off dead. Don’t feel like Satan; but I am to them; so I try and forget it any way I can.”

If you didn’t sign a contract to be a family farmer for life, oh well. America.
