This looked interesting when I explored it, but the 150KB attachment size limit is too low. I also checked the GitHub issues list for this project and found some open issues with respect to attachment sizes lower than this not getting through (maybe because of inflation with encoding, which end users may not know about or can’t predict).

The premium paid subscription is said to be only available in specific countries, but the payment form seems to appear in other places too. So I’m not sure how the service allows or disallows subscriptions.

A quick thought also occurred to me comparing this with iCloud email aliases from Apple, which is available for all paid iCloud subscriptions starting at the same price as this one ($0.99 per month) and allows the user to use their custom domain (Firefox relay premium gives you one custom subdomain under mozmail.com).
And for the same price, Apple also provides 50GB of storage and supports the iCloud Relay hop service for Safari (and apps, if supported).

I’d like to support Firefox monetarily, assuming the revenue from this service goes to Mozilla Corporation (not Mozilla Foundation) and to Firefox. But the attachment size limit is currently unacceptable for me.
So recent iPhones will complain of a non-genuine screen even if you take the screen from another iPhone (I found out the hard way), because apparently the screen has the serial number programmed into it and the iPhone checks for a serial number mismatch to determine if it’s a “fake.” Does Apple supply the repair stores with the programmers to change the screen serial? Or do you have to just-in-time order the screen once you have the serial number you’ll be repairing?

What this did for me? Four days ago, I dropped my phone (again) and the screen broke (again) and this time when I had the option of choosing a genuine iPhone screen or a Chinese knockoff, I ordered the knockoff.
“A fee for protection” is not that. That’s the equivalent of hiring a bouncer.
Pinephone is considered enthusiast/experimental. Librem has a 52 week wait and is overpriced. The solution should be Calyx, but they've decided the solution requires paying a bribe to Google in the form of buying a Pixel - talk about missing the point, and missing your target market right out of the gate.
Real nuanced reply there nice.

Nothing wrong with improving quality of the life we do have, which naturally would mean increasing lifespan a little. In fact, I'd argue that's precisely the right way to spend resources - quality, not quantity.

I'm not at all against small increases in lifespan, and certainly for improving quality of life (e.g. defeating disease). I'm specifically against individual immortality because I strongly suspect it would quickly and inexorably lead to stagnation and death for our species.
Wouldn't regulations be easier to enforce on agents and organizations instead of individuals?
Agreed we need more data and less fear mongering headlines.

I don't know much about Ireland's data w.r.t this article, but UK is similar in a lot of ways and provides an abundance of interesting reports.

> Based on antibody testing of blood donors, 98.1% of the adult population now have antibodies to COVID-19 from either infection or vaccination compared to 19.7% that have antibodies from infection alone. Over 97% of adults aged 17 or older have antibodies from either infection or vaccination.

pages 13 and onward have nice tabular data on hospitalization, emergency care, and death which have comparisons in terms of Rates among persons vaccinated with 2 doses (per 100,000) and Rates among persons not vaccinated (per 100,000).
I think it's because kids watch a lot of Youtube, and kids are drawn to people making exaggerated faces.
My first question was: "Will Louis Rossmann be happy with this or is there some BS in the fine print that he'll find and make another video about?" Either way I'll be watching his YouTube feed for updates: https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup/videos
Xfinity will allow you to bring both a modem and a router. AT&T will not because their gateway/router does authentication into their network. Some people on the UniFi forums were able to pass authentication back to the gateway but it reduced speed.
Agreed. This looks much more like a tactic against true repairability than a real commitment to it: It will be used as an argument why laws with teeth to guarantee real repairability are not needed.

"Look here, we do repairs and such! No laws needed! We regulate ourself just fine!"
What was the hardest part of adopting elixir?
Hi HN,

About 14 years ago, I fell in love with programming because it made me feel like a magician. I'd type in some incantations, click "Run", and voila! My lightning-powered thinking rock would do exactly as I commanded — in my case, make a virtual robot named Karel move around the screen in my computer science lab.

Nowadays, casting spells requires a bit more work. Most of our work happens inside complex web apps that each have their own custom spell books (APIs) — assuming they even provide one at all.

Let's take a task like managing your social media accounts. Suppose you want to reset your Twitter account and start from scratch. First step: Unfollow everyone. The problem is that you have hundreds of accounts to unfollow, and you don't exactly want to sit there all day clicking buttons.

If you're not a programmer, your options are limited to what others have built. You can hand over your credentials to all kinds of third-party apps and extensions in the hopes of finding one that works. Good luck.

If you're a programmer, you have more options. You have the power to cast spells. What if we used the official API?

You can sign up for a developer account, get an API key, download a client library, read about how OAuth works for the hundredth time, and then start digging through the API to find out how to complete your task.

That sounds tedious and creating a developer account for a one-off task feels like overkill. What if we simulated user actions in the browser instead?

You can install Selenium/Puppeteer/Playwright, read through its documentation to learn how to navigate and click, open the web inspector to figure out the right CSS selectors, run into some race condition where the elements aren't loading in time, sprinkle in some waits, and puzzle over how to handle elements being added from the infinite scrolling list.

That doesn't sounds too great either. Maybe it'd be faster to manually click those buttons after all...

I built Browserflow to automate tasks like this where people end up wasting time doing what computers do better. I wanted a tool that makes it easy for anyone, regardless of their technical background, to automate any task on any website. It includes the convenience of features like automatically generating automation steps by recording your actions while having the flexibility of letting you tweak anything manually or write custom Javascript. (If you want to see how simple it is to automate the Twitter task above using Browserflow, here's the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnsGTpcA-98)

Building a browser automation tool from scratch and making it robust enough to handle all kinds of websites took much, much longer than I expected. After working on it as a solo developer for 1.5 years, I'm super excited to finally share this with you all. Whether you're a professional developer or a non-technical marketer, I hope Browserflow will make you feel like a magician on the Web.

Would love to get your feedback!
so close to Cryptonomicon.
One of the primary functions of a pimp is to provide muscle/thread of violence to dissuade customers from abusing the workers.

Whether and do what degree the arrangement between the worker(s) and the pimp is exploitative is more or less tangential to that.
The best thing the FTC did in the last 2 years
Hard drives can easily saturate a 1Gbps link. And RAIDed hard drives can saturate 5Gbps or even 10Gbps with enough parallelism.

I'm not sure if any NAS is cost-effective when you use SSDs, aside from maybe a cost-effective SSD cache (Maybe a $100 to $250 1TB L2ARC cache, depending on the speed of the SSD you get).
>By designing products for durability, longevity, and increased repairability
They had to set Sarcasm Generator all the way to 11 to write this.

I have found iPhones to be the most repairable compared to the other smartphone brands I've repaired. Macbooks are a different story, but I see Macs and Macbooks as a different type of product compared to a PC which is modular by nature since the first IBM PC clone.

Some non-Apple parts for iPhones are terrible, so it's nice to have the option of genuine parts though it's not going to be useful if it's very expensive.
I have an E-ink tablet, Boox Note Air. Some thoughts:

- Screen must be backlit. E-ink screens look great in perfect sunlight and fluorescent lights , but if you're used to a phone/tablet, you'd be surprised how dim e-ink can look just sitting on a couch in the evening, with a lamp a few meters away. Backlighting fixes that.

- Web browsing on e-ink is not bad at all if you stick to text-heavy stuff. The low refresh rate actually discourages "endless scroll" behaviour. Get a browser like Kiwi that allows you to set the Vol. keys as PgUp/PgDn. That makes the lag a lot less perceptible.
Is there a document? obviously not.

Is there a need for a constitution? Early Mars will be dominated by high productivity. You need someone to build and do the things. Recreating massive numbers of vertical industries is impossible to do without people being in top productivity. There wont even need to be a union. The 'king' will be required to keep those people happy.

If there's even a slight threat of being thrown out an airlock, people wont move there. You will fail early. There wont be a need for a constitution for quite some time.
Have any lawyers looked into this? It’s only been a few years since Anthony Levandowski’s criminal trial for stealing trade secrets. I have to imagine some employers would see this in the same way, especially if simultaneously working for competitors.
Back to the Cuckdowns I guess.
Except we don't have a "credit score" in the UK.

Credit reference agencies instead report credit history.

The difference is a subtle but very important one, as it allows companies to assess your individual circumstances, rather than base decisions on an arbitrary score.

The above misunderstanding is so commonplace that the Redit UKPersoanlFinace sub had (has?) a bot explaining this on every UK post mentioning 'credit score'. Here "credit scores" are instead a marketing gimmick launched by credit reference agencies to get consumers to subscribe to monitoring services. The 'score' they give is meaningless.

Windows 10 on Arm will no longer get x64 app emulation
Some newer parts of Windows are open source, and in other places they've added open source software to the overall distribution (such as OpenSSH). But yeah, almost nothing legacy in Windows has been or will be open sourced, due to the difficulty of tracing which lines Microsoft actually owns and which ones they only have a license to.

For legacy components that have been open sourced, the only one I can think of is conhost, which they're trying to get rid of anyway in favour of the new (and fully open-source) Windows Terminal and its console component OpenConsole.
This is an idea akin to "you can drive a car with your feet if you wanted to!"
Heck, I 'never' watch TV, but yesterday I did watch the horrible boring soccer match ( In reality I watch TV about 3 times a year ).

Everytime I am suprised by the commercials. The pushing of Thuisbezorg(Takeaway)/Deliveroo earlier this year.

Yesterday it was gambling commercial after gambling commercial. Gambling used to be a state-monopoly in NL.

I guess we have been finally neoliberated.

instead of domain, use subdomain. You can use forwarding service like improvmx to filter out bad actors. Also, forward email to Gmail. Gmail will reject standard spam emails.
The issue isn't not having a credit card, it's never having used any credit to create a good credit history. Setting up a few direct debits should work in lieu of getting a credit card.
The alternative to a difficult component repair is paying fifty to ninety percent of the cost of a new phone altogether for Apple to swap it with a refurbished one. It’s easy to see why your argument holds no water in that case.
> Culture trickles down.

On the contrary, prescriptive culture kills any other subculture. Corporate culture is a compromise, certainly nothing to strive for.

There is often also a giant divide in culture between departments and that is also true for management and developers.

You don't have to wonder why you are not well liked by colleagues when you are a diversity/inclusion hire that directly gets into a high position for external presentation reasons of the company.

I guarantee you that she was in any case far better treated than the common warehouse worker.

> “As more people whistleblow, they are seeing how these issues are interconnected in many ways,” Dubal said.

Meaning they see the lucrative settlements because companies want it out of the press, which supports these allegations. Don't let yourself be played for a fool.
Cloudflare is going crazy wow
As someone who considers myself lazy, it baffles me that so many people are encouraging others to do the same. It seems like someone discovers that work-life balance is a thing, and then concludes that everyone else has yet to do the same and that we should all relax more. On a personal level, working less may be beneficial because society has more than enough hard workers to make a difference. However, if everyone loses ambition, the goods are services we all take of granted would get more scarce and we would all be worse off as a result.

I'll clarify that I do think post-industrial areas of Asia are actually "burnout societies." In the US, I don't get that sense at all.

8 Reasons you SHOULD NOT do a startup (from Marc Andreessen)
He also does mini demonstrations that show, for example, how weirs work, why sinkholes form the way they do, or how heat affects the structural soundness of concrete.

Bullseye Camera System
None of those examples have anything to do with "embrace, extend, extinguish"? And they're misleading at best.

Netscape died because browsers became a part of the baseline operating system. That wasn't Microsoft's choice, that's just de-facto reality (see: every other OS). Just imagine shipping a computing device today without a browser! Steve Jobs put it best (to a different company): You're a feature, not a product.

Excel was a vastly superior product to the competition. I used it back when Lotus was still running DOS character mode. The only really competitive product today is Google Sheets, because collaboration is a killer feature. And Google Sheets is doing very well.

Java was never a Windows replacement. And as a platform it is doing just fine.

Instant messaging died out due to Facebook/Snapchat/Twitter/Slack/etc. It's not like everyone is using Skype (which MS bought, not built, and long after the IM dust had settled).

Google dominates email, not MS/hotmail. And spammers killed the "run your own email server" approach. It requires professional knowledge to get email delivered these days.
I was responding to the “leaning left”. I would argue the Church is more than happy to govern but they certainly don’t do it in the same flavor as leftists.
Nah it was totally just a semi obscure vlogger and not myriad of lawsuits, lobbying from ifixit, changes in EU laws, a vocal Wozniak…

The clickbait buries the lede. The Radxa Taco is an upcoming Pi breakout that come with support for 5 SSDs and 2 Ethernet ports for $100 bucks. Looks cool.
If this is true, the detail that sticks out to me is that before the legal filings StreamLabs thought to reach out about using the name. If StreamLabs thought the names were similar enough that they reached out about using the name, that proves that even from their own former perspective, they're using a mark that was already recognized in the industry and similar enough to their own mark - surely consumers could have the same perspective (many in the comments here were already confused). They also can't claim ignorance. Why should they expect trademark law to now protect the name for them?

The same thing apparently happened with Meta: http://meta.company/.
Well on its way to being a huge contender in this space now. As I was saying on another post, I'm really just eager to see them roll out an in-house, more conventional datastore option that plugs in with this.

If I can create a full-stack preview environment comprised of all these services, that will be huge. It's edge (no pun intended) is that it's globally available by default.
I have a Boox Note Air that runs Android. I imagine the processor is ARM-based. I can hook up a BT keyboard + mouse and use it like I would a regular tablet.

Plus, it has 3 screen refresh settings (low, med, high), and the middle one makes typing a very nice experience
I can't find anything about the EU implementing this. Here is a UK document from July 2021 discussing why the UK might want to do it, and thus implying that it hadn't yet - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...
>so they sent my account to a collections agency

Important clarification: they sold your account to a collections agency. They made more than what you actually owed them by doing that, which is probably why they did that.
Getting started with our beta platform
Now that I think about it I think they did try and convince me to not cancel but I have become so disassociated from human niceties since I started working from home the last few years I just interrupted them and told them to stop and I wanted to cancel. Kind of worrying that I did it without thinking or realizing. Might be time for me to reintegrate with society.
There’s no way that it would be even remotely economical for them to do so. I can’t think of any board they have that costs more than the labor costs that would be required to do such repairs at scale.
iOS 15.2 (currently in beta) disables the display authentication for Face ID that was added to the newer iPhones. If this program is going to be mostly screens and batteries (the easiest things to swap), that will be enough.
Agreed, and I think this very thing is happening. I've never heard of the word "paltering", but will be using it going forward. Knowledge of this word has exposed my use of such a wicked practice.

More people are catching on, but we need more still.
I like how "memes" got laundered through these sites. Taking memes from adversarial communities and making them your own. Or blaming your own memes and campaigns on other communities.

There was, and still is, an admiration of the "hidden hand". Manipulating a newspaper poll, without their readers finding out about it, or blame hitting eBaumsWorld.

Memes started/start in small ICQ channels. Were collectively dumped online to seed them. Other communities would adapt, share, replicate, up until the point the real origins were obfuscated the meme was from "the internet".

Small hacker groups on ICQ had applicants write troll-scripts for acceptance. One of these was DuckRoll. DuckRoll consisted of switching out Wikipedia titles and article contents and sometimes adding a picture of a duck on wheels. Bonus points for having someone else run the script (thinking it was a PHP guest-book script, MySpace theme, or innocent link to an answer to their vampire help questions [1]).

Duckroll morphed into RickRoll. RickRoll was seen as more acceptable, since it contained the damage to a single individual. The principle was the same as with linking shock images, such as Goatse: either you knew about the image, and someone "gotcha", or the internet really confused and upset you that day. You probably were taking it too seriously, and the prank did you a favor. The best pranks had a lesson.

99.9% of those Rickrolled won't trace it back and think it started on Reddit or Digg, or simply "the internet".

I would really like to hear the answer to that! And why the 10-years-ago thing can't be done today.
I think it's because the thumbnails are small, so if the faces aren't exaggerated you won't perceive any particular emotion at all. It's a bit like the difference between theatre and film acting.

There's a business to be had in generating and mailing those letters certified for someone. For $10, you can have it printed and mailed by Lob certified and still have a few bucks margin, without the customer having to leave their home. They’d then have the certified tracking number to demonstrate it was delivered.

This should absolutely not be necessary, but is a shim until a regulator kicks gyms in the shorts over their predatory practices.
It’ll quickly be nicknamed the Crypt by fans. The Lakers _are_ getting older.
Normally I would think that perhaps the behaviours of the vaccinated group differ from the unvaccinated and therefore affecting their risk profiles (ex. vax going out more, seeing other people), however, I don't think that is the case. Those that are unvaccinated are in that state by choice, and therefore they are unlikely to be unvaccinated and abstaining from risky behaviours.

I wonder if the willingness to get tested might have something to do with it. If you are unvaccinated and sick, do you go get tested knowing that you'll have to face the onslaught of "told you so"... "this wouldn't have happened if you got vaccinated". So perhaps vaccinated people are more likely to also get tested and therefore skew the data?
Why would there be any answers to this question now? Nobody has been there yet.

Oh, I didn’t mean as compared to general population. I meant for themselves. Presumably the vaccine would give folks some confidence in getting out more (if not, then why even bother getting it?)
But this is a blatant lie, right in the subtitle. They are not available to individual customers but to Apple-licensed service shops and at significant markup. Shame on you, Apple. Do you believe you will fool anybody with a headline?
I think they have a revenue issue. They can't make the money necessary to sustain a lot of their work so they are trying to find other sources of revenue that are privacy focused to help. See the layoffs from last year for example.
Not only this, but getting a credit card and not using it can cause an issue for your credit, so it's better to setup direct debits and other forms of credit than it is to get a card you never use.
