At first I was a little wary of this, because it had the sort of smooth, business-school-y tone that makes you worry someone’s trying to sell you something.

But I after reading I thought this was genuinely insightful. Particularly politically.

I think it helps give me some perspective to know that different smart, well-intentioned people have believed wholeheartedly in entirely contradictory positions in their lifetimes.
I enjoyed this so much. The stories about Ford were terrific.

A lot of "wisdom" is contextual and gets mistaken for universal. We learn "X works" and, having been burned by everything else we tried, jealously guard the value of X as very special and precious.

Scars obtained in the process of obtaining expertise are likely an underrecognized factor in experts becoming ossified in their opinions. They learned that everything else bites and this doesn't. They don't want to get bit again.

Then conditions change and now nothing is guaranteed to work like it did before. It likely seems unfair to find their hard won wisdom is now irrelevant baggage.
They get flagged for a variety of reasons:

- They are considered "off-topic" as outlined by the HN guidelines (Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.)

- They are unlikely to result in "good faith" debates about the case given how politically charged the subject matter is

- The comments very quickly devolve into flamewars and/or trolling

I honestly don't think anyone is trying to "squash" debate about the case due to some personal agenda. It's just unlikely that the comment sections on those articles are going to be productive and/or result in anything new or interesting.
Is Barbara Ferrer an "expert" even though she has no medical degree?

Doesn't she know the facts and science that masking spreads germs?
there was some discussions, especially of the "pinch to zoom" stories; but there's guildelines against "current news" and it's still a totally flame bait topic.

I'm not sure where non-partisan discussion of the trail might be welcomed. The facts are still very much at issue in the media so its hard to even have a basis for discussion.
It’s pretty obvious if you look at the guidelines. These posts are highly politicized, covered by other news sources extensively, and do not spark/sate intellectual curiosity.
European minivans never really existed in the US. The European vans (V-Class, Staria, T6.1/T7, Vito, PSA van etc.) are size wise almost on the same level as the classical US minivans (Pacifica, Carnival, Odyssey). Sure, small minivans are dying out but at the same time there are a lot of new van designs many of which are already electrified but don't have good range yet.

VW is positioning the new T7 as replacement for Touran/Sharan/Alhambra and the ID.Buzz for instance is supposed to be a replacement as well when it's available.

I'm excited to see the Zenfone 8's smaller footprint, but it's still 90cc compared to an iPhone mini's 65cc (38% larger). It's 13% taller and 7% wider. The Galaxy S 21 is actually smaller by volume at 85cc. The Zenfone is thick, presumably to make room for the 4000 mAh battery that they can't spread across a larger screen's area. The Galaxy S 21 is only 3% taller and 4% wider so the Zenfone 8 is a lot closer to a Galaxy S 21 than it is to an iPhone mini.

When Android phones get marketed as "compact" I get excited. Then I actually look at the dimensions and they aren't really compact. Thickness matters in terms of being able to reach across the screen and the Zenfone's thickness will impact that. Even discounting the thickness, it's basically the dimensions of a Galaxy S 21.

Heck, it's an iPhone regular! The iPhone regular is 105 cm^2 and the Zenfone 8 is 101cm^2 compared to an iPhone mini at 84 cm^2. The iPhone mini shaves a lot of size off a regular iPhone - 20%. The Zenfone shaves 3.46% off the iPhone regular's face size while actually being 11.72% larger overall due to its thickness.

Heck, a Pixel 4a is smaller.

Every time I see a "compact" Android phone, they end up being not so compact.
I don’t think this is very complicated.

I suppose some people hear about making business with your friends and think "leverage your friends into making more money", while others think "leverage business into spending more time with your friends".

Those are not just different ways of looking at the same thing, they will actually result in different business strategy. For example, if your friends are just a tool to make you money, you will gladly replace them later with someone more productive. But if the business is just a tool to spend more time with your friends, as long as your friends are not actively super harmful, you will keep them at the company, because being there together was the entire point.

Many people spend 8 hours a day at work. Spending 8 hours a day with your friends can make a huge difference in your quality of life. (And don't confuse it with being friendly with your coworkers in an average company. The difference is, in the average company, your friendship is a hostage to the company.)

Good point. More sensors than vision does change things a little bit but not by much. These companies will have to have a bullet proof safety record and like Brooks says I'm pretty sure they're not going to be ready any time soon for operating on public roads. I actually think autonomous transport is a net positive but these companies don't seem to be serious about addressing safety issues or doing any research on how to mitigate the adversarial nature of public roads.

It feels like you're reaching to conclude that it was a "fiasco", if large protests and disapprovals are a measure, the US is a fiasco (election protests, capitol storming, whatever is happening right now), does this mean that the US/Dollar is a fiasco?
It can be really nice to have an official way to download and install software in one click.

We can definitely improve the error reporting (e.g. just the other day there was a patch to better improve error reporting in a system configuration to go directly to the configuration line rather than the system that uses that code). Submitting bugs with unhelpful error messages to Guix and/or Guile developers is much appreciated I hear.

However, it should be hard to break a Guix system, since you can always roll back. Of course you can find a way (I changed an ext4 flag that turns out Grub doesn't like, but that has nothing to do with Guix), but as long as you let Guix do its job and try not to manually work around it, you should be able to undo everything. Of course nothing is perfect, but I hope you reported it. In my experience the Guix devs and community is keen to improve.
> But the vaccinated are being infected at higher rates than the non-vaccinated according to UK govt data.

I've been poring your gov.uk link and the closest thing I can find to data that would back this affirmation comes with very heavy caveat:

« Comparing case rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated populations should not be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 infection. Vaccine effectiveness has been formally estimated from a number of different sources and is summarised on pages 5 to 8 in this report.

The case rates in the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations are unadjusted crude rates that do not take into account underlying statistical biases in the data and there are likely to be systematic differences between these 2 population groups. »

Also, assuming that your conclusions are, is that the number we should be watching? We're looking for number of people who go to the hospital, die or suffer from long covid. According to the same table you're looking at, vaccines are a huge success at preventing deaths (I haven't bothered looking data on these other points).

edit Nuanced my response. I believe that the parent's response came before my edit.
Guix will never prevent you from doing what you want with your hardware. Nor will it give you software that is not properly free (as in freedom).

The "nonguix" channel mentioned in the article does have Intel and AMD microcode for users who want it. This is similar to Debian, where you have to opt-in by enabling the "nonfree" repository and "apt install" the microcode package corresponding to your CPU.

I like Firefox's bookmarks. You can add tags to each bookmark, which can make sorting and finding them much easier.

I also use a default bookmark folder, so all new bookmarks just go into that one folder, with the most recent at the top of the folder. That means I'm relying more on the position, tags, and naming to find a bookmark, rather than a position in a hierarchy.

I keep meaning to research how to extract/sync from the SQLite database that Firefox uses for bookmarks. I feel like there's a lot of unexplored personal value to one's bookmarks and history.

It is because it is not the result they wanted. Here is another example:

Truth Social recently open sourced their mastodon fork [0] and that was immediately flagged and not covered by the news even though when they were found to have violated the license, that was heavily voted top of this website. With that, not only HN is already breaking their own guidelines, the bias could not be more clearer.

On another note, just notice how The Verge / Vox had heavily covered the trial and now after the verdict was out, they seemed to have become real quiet about it. It is simply because it is not the result they wanted.

Typical self defence isn't shocking to report is it?

Look at the systems that are embedded into big organizations, and start learning them. There were stories recently about "bank python", so getting a good grasp of say the build process of a couple versions of the python build system and learning to make your own highly customized versions of python interpreters is likely to be a saleable skill for some while yet. The next COBOL might be python 2.x

Generally "stay willing to learn new things" seems like decent advice no matter what you're doing.
I would only add to this that you need to network and grow your skills to prevent potential ageism in the industry.

They would involve making lots of friends in the industry and continually learning. I would suggest really really deep learning. I recently worked with a guy in his 60s who deeply understood python and specific open source libraries (contributing to them as well) in a specific industry (e-commerce).

> I think this does not acknowledge how incredibly asymmetric the difficulty is on each side. It is expensive and difficult to protect against security breaches,

I'm not an security guy, but occasionally, I get asked by a friend that has a big IT problem for a second opinion, and that has happened with ransomware six times in thee last three years. From what I've seen, ransomware attacks are the result of a conspiracy of neglect and a couple global IT mistakes:

* Backup/restore doesn't work at all, which is really the story on every ransomware attack I've seen. Testing and verifying operation was neglected.

* Services are not partitioned in a way that isolates them from attack. For example, backups are stored on a writable network share leading to the backup being encrypted by the ransomware. This is often because getting access control on a service right takes time, and does make it harder for users when they are doing something out of the ordinary.

* User access is read write on everything and uses shared credentials (for example, using the same database user account, with admin rights on all services that touch a database server). This makes it easy for the IT guy, and makes it very easy for the ransomware to spread through the network and take down stuff it shouldn't be able to touch: like the tables for your billing system.

* There's a false belief that you can isolate an insecure network for the secure one. This may work (in theory) in a data center where there is ironclad control of what is connected to the network, but in an office environment, this is impossible. Companies who run their internal network like an ISP where nothing is trusted do a lot better.

* Out of date server software has massive vulnerabilities and hasn't been updated in years and years. This is often because someone customized something and did not maintain it, and eventually, it became impossible to upgrade. So, the admin leaned in on the belief that they could secure the system at the network level.

Insurance companies will have to insist on a few practices if they want to actually be able to sustainably insure against ransomware:

* Working backup / restore
* No shared admin credentials
* Zero trust on the LAN

>Apple probably gets more value out of Android than anybody else since Android’s existence keeps Apple out of antitrust court.

I don't understand this statement, it seems very strange given that Android is by far the largest player in the market. If anything, the exact opposite is probably true, since Android is far closer to a monopoly than iOS. In reality, it is Android that is quite happy for Apple's existence and keeping them out of the antitrust court.

I doubt anyone ever shipped this DAC for digital audio applications. You're right that on sheer width there have been 18-bit or better DACs on the market since the 1980s. First one that comes to mind is the Burr-Brown (now Texas Instruments) PCM58. ADI themselves have been marketing 18-bit or better audio DACs for ages, since at least the AD1860. Compare the datasheet of the AD1860 to this one to see the difference between a precision DC instrument and a dynamic audio DAC. This one has .01% gain error while an audio DAC is rated for 2% gain error (because nobody cares).
> ...if all you do is occasional sms, phonecalls and very little app useage (like I have my mobile banking app on it). It only runs a older android version (8). Make sure to de-bloat it aggressively if you get it (enable developer mode, connect via ADB and remove anything verizon and everything that sounds like it might have a phone-home "feature").

These three things go so well together. I have a 5 year old basic Moto that's been stripped down aggressively with ADB. It started as an experiment when battery life went south. I thought I'd be replacing it anyway. Battery life went from 7 hours of sitting quietly to 3-4 days, and suddenly it was a viable phone again. More than viable, in fact the best battery life of any mobile phone I've ever owned.

I'd add Netguard to those steps. Netguard is great for identifying which apps are phoning home, and blocking telemetry from the ones I choose to keep around, like the canned clock or contacts apps.

The few Play Store apps I have get updated by temporarily installing Aurora now and then, the rest come from FDroid. Dropping Play Store is what fixed my battery problem, that's primarily what was gorging on the watt-hours. I think that problem's been mediated since, but I've been fine without it.
I didn’t read all of the comments, but it seems to me that the interaction at the beginning of the thread is pretty close to how polite, respectful online conversations should be carried out. I don’t use Prettier, but this is my own choice, and if someone else likes them I certainly don’t think this thread is cause for denigrating the team or their work. Am I missing something?

- The Prettier team has decided that they will not be adding new options. Since they explicitly bill themselves as an opinionated formatter, that seems reasonable to me.

- There is a fork of Prettier that supports breakBeforeElse, and this fork was suggested by a member of the Prettier team as a way for the requester to get this option

I think the value proposition is definitely there for a "rent a gaming pc" service.
