I just saw something the other day about street photography in Norway. Apparently it's illegal, like almost an inverse of the very permissive US law, which carries no expectation of privacy in public at all.

Your point is good but biomass power plants do exist and our promoted as being sustainable.

Here’s an example in Canada

What’s terrible about it is that they expect to produce the pellets locally but need to import them across the ocean from Norway! Not very green.
Do you not see the difference between robbing a bank and a voluntary contractual agreement not to associate with someone?
I think a lot of younger people and crypto-influenced people today think of "journaling" as "like a blockchain" based on the overlaps (not the cryptographic portion, the "blocks" half).
> Yes many are "just ARM" but due to custom extensions/chips and (in some cases) lack of standard ARM features that doesn't mean they are the same ARM.

This is a stretch at best.

Linux running on M1, Graviton2 (and, soon, Graviton3), Raspberry Pi 3/4 runs same, aarch64 compiled, user space binaries. NetBSD running on M1 and on Raspeberry Pi 3/4 runs same, aarch64 compiled, user space binaries. ARM, the company, enforces the µ-architecture compatibility through the licensing. Just like Intel and AMD do.

The difference is perceptable at the hardware/kernel level; however the same is also true for nearly every new generation of Intel and AMD CPU's – at least some modifications are required in the kernel.
Sadly this no longer works either. Reddit is now doing some SEO work to mark stuff as a later date than posted.

You can search "warmest winter coat site:reddit.com" and filter by past year, only to get a result from 7 years ago.

I really don't know how to search the web anymore.
The ability to lift and shift existing AWS automation tools to on-prem workloads is more the worth the money. At a lot of organizations on-prem servers are heavily controlled by teams that have no interest in automation or quick provisioning.

Being able to stick one of these into a data center and get full access to a significant number of AWS services while being able to tell security and others that certain data isn’t in the cloud is priceless. People overlook the cost savings of being able to turn your Devs and DevOps teams loose on-prem and no longer be blocked by system admins who have no desire to help you increase your development velocity.
That could be a plausible explanation by Holmes' defence for all her actions that got her in trouble in the first place! Personally, I find my own coworkers who lay claim to having such regiments are usually the smallest contributors in the team and mostly 'talk' too much and do too little.
Spot on. This could be a game changer for us ($xB 100+ year old manufacturing company), where we are on a long, slow journey to digitize every piece of manufacturing (long and slow because manufacturing runs almost 24x7x365). Wifi, even the top enterprise systems, is not as resilient, cheap and quickly installed as we'd like.

So now I can use 5G instead, and template and deploy it via the cloud? Yes, yes! We'll put this through some cost models, but it will likely jump NPV of IoT and automation projects by pushing down the initial capital costs (fiber runs pulled by union electricians to wifi gear installed by a vendor vs. 5G base stations and servers installed and configured by plant electricians and corporate IT).
Many tech companies even develop nice portals for law enforcement to use where they can request and view data, with or without a warrant or subpoena.
It's not capitalism, the reason we ended up with massive accumulation of wealth (which changed shape and form across time - Rockefeller is not Zuckerberg) is because of government corruption, intervention and monopoly creation.

New governments don't do anything but waste public money and create regulations which entrench the current lobbyists as the de-facto standard and prevent new competition from popping up.
Very cool, but the FAQ doesn’t address the questions people will ask: open source is fine, but what guarantee do we have that the source code matches the deployed code? Or that the deployment is done in a secure environment?
A lot of scientists believed we were on track for a new ice age in the 70s [1] (using the same media-driven fearmongering tactics back then, too).

The point being, don't just take what you're fed. If you dig around, you might find that a lot of the claims on scientific consensus are misrepresented (as dismissed by the quoted scientists) [2].

Googled it. I found some vague references to it having happened, or having been stopped in the act, but not like a news report. The more prevalent an idea is without having any actual evidence, the less I trust it.
So they already replied and said they buy wholesale or refurbish, but even if they were purely flipping that still provides some value. If they can buy low and turn around to sell high, the obvious question becomes "why doesn't the original seller just sell at the higher price if that's what it goes for?"

Either they are better at reaching customers who are willing to pay more (which provides value, that's a sale that wouldn't have happened if the customer doesn't know to look where it's cheaper) or the original seller just wants cash now and doesn't care about getting max price (in which case the reseller is being paid to supply liquidity and take on some risk of not being able to offload it or it goes down in price).
Sounds like they walk away in 6 month intervals.

As someone who had a collecting habit at one point and has hundreds of records and cds, I can’t see this happening at all. Vinyl records last indefinitely with proper care, whereas my carefully kept cds develop glitches after a while that makes the cd unplayable.
"threat assessment' coordinator from my workplace"
"I feared that I may lose my job."

I understand that police/FBI have to conduct investigation. What dont understand is involvement of the employer , it's extremely disturbing - you have not been convincted, you have not been charged, you are not even a suspect or accused of anything at this point - how is your private life the business of your employer?

Why is your privacy being breached and livehood being placed at risk?

Surely the FBI is not allowed to publicise random dirt they find on innocent people?
Concerning your point 3) - Few years ago I was a bit excited about Local 4G, but commercial units sold back then could not handle tower handovers, and were very limited in bandwidth(5MHz/~10Mbps down, if I remember right). Has it improved, or if it hasn't, is it going to really offer significant advantages over Wi-Fi...?
DesqView, at least in its earlier incarnations, ran fine (if slow) even on an 8088. Eventually they moved to /386 and /X. It's kind of a shame that the /X version didn't gain traction, but by then there were other options ranging from Linux to OS/2 to Windows 95.

There was another oddball multitasking OS out there from the late 1980s as well: VM/386. It was originally developed by Softguard (better known for floppy-disk copy protection schemes) and then sold to and launched by IGC. It used the 386's virtual 8086 mode to run virtual machines, a far predecessor to VT-x and AMD-V. I never saw it in action, though. It ran separate DOS instances in each VM, but the 386 only supported real-mode VMs.
> and a 'threat assessment' coordinator from my workplace.

What was the reason for this? What type of workplace?
Interesting speculation, but all wildly off the point. Which is that ending POW "currencies" would have a significant environmental benefit with an amount of inconvenience somewhere between marginal and net negative.
I've never heard "the pronoun game" but I know I have a habit of over-writing to avoid it. (Or maybe I'm writing just enough.)
A pitch-black comedy joke about committing suicide to lower overall rates of depression would fit. In a Johnathan Swift style technically a solution but absolutely horrifying way.

It's (scarily) interesting that they react with actual personal attendance based purely on a very limited set of electronic information.

From your further description:

> We are not religious (at all). We do not attend church, synagogue or mosque. We are lower middle class white Americans born and raised in the USA and have never traveled outside the country.

Would not the FBI have been able to any amount of background searching (read: further electronic information gathering), that would be less effort-intensive than getting arranging a 'threat assessment' coordinator from throw_away_dgs' actual workplace and a local police officer for an in-person door-knock. If such background checks were performed, then they either don't have much data or their threat weightings are set to red-scare levels of paranoia. Either way, it's scary.

Unless there's more to the story.
Nice. Last I looked into this, I couldn't select a custom range, it was limited to set times like, last 6 months or something. Thanks
I’ve heard of this and I’m skeptical of this narrative. And then being applied in pretty much any infrastructure. Unchecked.

It’s a great way to build nothing and leave the next generation without good infrastructure.

American cities are infested with lack of spirit that led to huge infrastructure projects in post-world war between 1945-1980.

If you talk about building anything new in SF Bay Area, you’ll be met with contempt.
An alternative explanation is that Google stopped caring about UX.
Few prisons are actually private; it just feels better misdirecting the problem.

When you design for the "edge cases" you end up with a bunch of Supermaxes were people vegitate 23 hours a day in solitary, which is btw commonly considered torture [0]

That's not what I think, that's what Nick Bilton thinks. The quality of his book makes me partial to his thesis, of course, but NSA conspiracy blah adds nothing.

Also, lots more went into catching him than just heyy, but that was the lucky break that had him caught. Now he shares a prison with Dr. Unabomber Kazinsky.
Any form of communication is a medium for coded messages. Steganography through e-mail, code words exchanged during visitors' hours. I think it's silly to hold up books as a dangerous avenue for secret communication when there are already so many other ways of communicating with someone in prison.

The only way to prevent secret messages from getting inside prisons would be to cut off all communication with the outside world, and that would be totally inhumane even if it were possible.
The US and European social democracies are not that different.
Sure, the US government and the insurance/university lobbies screwed up education and healthcare prices - but all western countries steal an inordinate amount of money to profit creating citizens and waste them around giving little back to the country.

They're parasitic institutions
1. It’s not clear, at least to me, that this applies to police. They’re employed by the public, but I don’t know if I’d associate them with the common colloquial usage of public figures. That could just be me misunderstanding that usage.

2. The parent comment was about other, private individuals in the same photo. Given Twitter’s very spotty track record of inconsistent moderation (regardless of any real or perceived bias), any grey area here will certainly be a target—whether or not a successful one—for abuse of this new rule. I can, for instance, easily imagine it being used in an attempt to suppress images/video of police responses to confrontations between BLM protestors and pick-your-counterprotestors.

3. Moreover, I can imagine fabricated claims of such moderation action being taken, sewing all sorts of disinformation about events—real or likewise fabricated—and information about them that never existed, or existed in a significantly different form.

4. While I’m generally more in favor [than probably the average HN reader] of privately owned websites being able to moderate their sites as they deem appropriate… this particular example is the first I thought of where this rule as written may have significant, harmful consequences.
Prison operators are held accountable for crimes committed in their prisons, but they aren't rewarded for teaching prisoners.
No obvious side effects in mice with knockout gene and using the drug.

The drug doesn't disable the gene but make the protein unable to do its function by preventing the binding with another protein. If it can make cancer chronic disease, any side effects it may have will probably be less important then death.
In my skimming, it sounds like its mostly targeted at plugin developers. The main directly user-impacting part seems to be the adjustments to defaults.
This is an example of paper products being used as a medium for getting drugs into the prison. It happens with used books too. The article that I linked was a specific example of it being used with paper - in that case mail.

Used books or books printed from publishers/distributors where it is possible to introduce drugs into it are similarly problematic - which leads to the "only approved vendors."

The key is it happens.

This particular example isn't about banning reading material - it is about eliminating one of the ways that contraband gets into the prisons.

No, it doesn't eliminate all of them.

The financial criticisms of some of the contracts between states and vendors is completely justified. Some states are better / more fair than others in this regard.

The problem here is that lots of people want to buy GPUs. There's no need to "justify" an upswing in prices, because there is no central authority that sets the prices who can accept or reject your justification.

Yes I'm sympathetic but there is no solution here other than increasing the supply of GPUs or decreasing the demand. Complaining about scalpers isn't going to help with either one. Scalpers don't set the price.

In fact, what you should be willing to do is argue that NVidia and AMD should sell all their GPUs direct to consumer at an auction, so that they can capture all the consumer surplus here and re-invest it in order to expand production capacity.
Synthetic cartilage is what we really need, and there’s a huge market for it.

It is a good thing. Precedent matters. What happens today via President X will also be available to Future Tyrant Y. We are a country of laws, not situational rule bending.

People are going to be upset about this decision. But they are they same people who cursed the previous administration. They fact they don't recognize that disconnect / hyprocricy is disheartening.
I mean, "so what" seems ok until it's more than a thing a random hn commenter heard from someone when they volunteered at a prison that one time.
Thanks for the extra context. Still, I would imagine that an employer would feel free to ghost any email or application from an unknown person unless it came with a specific recommendation from someone they know.
How to See Bright, Vivid Images in Your Mind's Eye
Right, and banning scalping bots doesn't increase the supply of GPUs either, that's my point.

Supply and demand is the issue. Not scalping.
There seems to be this assumption that Americans are thrown into prison willy nilly for every small offense. Yes, it does happen in some egregious cases. A few decades ago, our zero tolerance drug laws were a real contributor here. Today however, for the most part, you have to commit either a major violent crime, or have a serial record of continual offenses to wind up in prison in most jurisdictions.
Since the fine article is not solely about running a BBS, I will throw in an anecdote about using Windows 3.0 for multitasking.

My colleagues and I had 1 MiB 386 DOS machines for writing and cross-assembling Z80 software. I was inspired by a shoot-out article in one of the PC magazines that compared DesqView, Windows 3.0, and TopView. Apparently it wasn't widely known in 1990 that Windows 3.0 DOS boxes were preemptively multitasked in 386 enhanced mode, with one of those DOS boxes being used for Win16. (This is a fair but radically simplified description of Windows 3.0) The author of the shoot-out pointed out that you could multitask DOS programs this way. So I got approval to install an additional 4 MiB of RAM and Windows 3.0 on my system. Once I got that booted up I started a program build in one DOS box and the text mode source editor in another. I had never had the chance to multitask in this way before, so I stared at the source code, trying to decide what to do. Until the makefile automatically tried to load the binary into the Z80 debugger. The PC locked up.

Since my assumption had been that this method would work out of the box, it was clear that it wasn't time yet for this. I did enough to conclude that the serial port code in the host code of the Z80 debugger was the issue, but not enough to figure out exactly where the bug was.

DesqView and TopView would have been equal to Windows at doing what I was trying to do, but I think Windows was close to the same cost and also had some other potential benefits.

I used my enhanced machine to enhance some tools that benefited from having "lots" of RAM, and gradually my colleagues added the RAM and ran those tools and modified others, and that was the direction the experiment went until I moved on to another company.

If its really all open source, the way you know is to roll your own.
Its clear from the document Vizio submitted that the intent of Vizio is to kill the ability of third parties to sue over GPL violations by convincing the court to turn the state court breach of contract claim into a federal court copyright violation claim, which can presumably only brought by copyright holders. Thats basically what the Conservancy post means by "Vizio's belief that consumers have no third-party beneficiary rights under copyleft". The rest of the post follows directly from that.
Quick question for you. You observed this behavior as a volunteer teacher for weekly classes directly, along with enough context to understand what the codes were used for and how prolific the usage was?

Or you were told at least some of the details in your post by prison administration? the same jolly group of fellows responsible for producing, implementing, and administering the type of policies being criticized in this article?

But it is abstract away, you just need to define your IOPS requirements, then pick the cheapest volume type that can satisfy it. You wouldn't have to choose if SSD is as cheap as HDD, but alas we're not there yet.

Comparing to life before the cloud, you would have to choose the vendor, the size of your drives, how many drive, then go through the procurement process, months in advance.
This is one of the major benefits of open source. You can share engineering resources, even with your competitors, for things that aren't your bread & butter.
There is literally no way Twitter will enforce this rule so heavy handedly. Especially since Tumblr, but even without that case study to learn from… a social media platform without human photos is so laughable a concept that I chuckled typing out those words.

> Does banning used books actually stop any of the communication between gang members?

Definitely not, it's impossible to stop unless maybe you go full supermax and utterly isolate every prisoner from every other. And even then, they might still tap out messages to each other through the walls. You'd need very thick walls to prevent that I think.

The way the 13th amendment is written is how: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction".
