Here's what it sounds like. Most of these types of devices (USB/3G) are "multimode" devices. That is, they can act like either USB storage or a USB 3G/4G device. On Windows, that's handy because it can come up as storage and then the end user can install the drivers right from the device, and the drivers then handle the "mode switching" from storage to 3G/4G-device. It's basically a way to bootstrap operation without requiring driver downloads.

This "usb_modeswitch" program handles that for linux. It sniffs the USB traffic and switches the mode to 3G/4G for you. All the crazy args are whatever was in the Windows config file. The -v 12d1 is the "VID" (vendor ID) of the device to sniff traffic for. The -p arg is similar, but the "PID" (product ID). The -P 14ac is the "PID" to switch to to get from storage to 3G/4G device. The -M <long-string> is the magic payload sent to the device to make it switch.

I have a system built for monitoring our water tanks, built using influxdb, grafana and a bunch of custom code.

It works great, and I hope will be low/no maintenance for years.

But I'm under no illusion that anyone else will be able to do anything with it should I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Using one big genny in a straightforward way is a sensible call for a vital infrastructural component IMO.

What's hilarious about this pathetic, whiny monologue is that the author most likely will continue using Apple products after all of this. Some people just never learn.

OK thanks.

Just to be clear, Ralf Jung might be writing for a popular audience with this blog post, but is certainly a preeminent research of this stuff.

I guess I hope some writes a "back to the basics" blog post of this stuff at some point!
The criteria we use go like this:

* if a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, reposts are treated as dupes (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html)

* for a major ongoing topic, deciding whether an article is a new story vs. a dupe of the old story boils down to: does it contain significant new information (a.k.a. SNI: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...)

* the main thing we care about is: can the new submission support a substantively different discussion than the previous ones?

By those criteria I suppose this is borderline, since (I'll take your word for it) the article contains SNI, but (on the other hand) the discussion will very likely be generically about the original stalking story rather than substantively different based on the new post.
Most scholars date Mark to c. 66–74 AD, either shortly before or after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD

This is essentially a few decades after the fact.

It's very challenging to really try to push Mathews gospel much further than 80s AD - and even that date has some serious problems.

You seem to have cherry picked certain (older) views... it was certainly popular in the last century to try try push the dates well into the second century but this approach is very fraught and can't be well supported at present.

Lawrence Krauss: Why the easily offended are a threat to scientific progress
Fractional reserve banking isn't the crazy or illegal part. It's not crazy or illegal because it makes sense in the context of currency, where the purpose is denominational value and facilitating value transfers. The crazy and illegal part is the idea of "fractional reserves" in the context of a fixed-supply security. There's no such thing.

I used the US as an example; what you're describing is illegal on every single major international exchange[1]. And as far as banking licenses go: the FDIC won't touch Gemini's actual non-third-party-custodial depository products with a ten foot pole, and they're about as clean as a cryptocurrency firm can be.

If you want cryptocurrencies to "succeed" in some nebulous sense, it would be good to get a start on the "not just good for crime" part of the equation. This isn't it.

Even if we limited ourselves to the Homo genus, the rule does not work well.

Based on the admixtures of Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA in modern humans, we once had a lot of sex with those other humans (and they with us), resulting in fertile offspring, but the differences between us and them are pretty meaningful and probably worthy of not considering us and them just subspecies of the same species.

For example, Neanderthals probably could not vocalize in the same way that we do; and being capable of speaking is quite an important distinction. They had very different anatomy, including that of important joints (shoulders).
Eh, I bet it’s more the wide spread, high fidelity mass communication.

You’d previously get word of mouth of what was happening (with lots of us vs them, dehumanizing, etc.). Now you’d get to see it ‘in person’ in 4K @ 60fps on YouTube.

It’s easier to say (and think) ‘yeah, those bastards deserved it’ when you aren’t seeing a very human person have it done to them up close.

Which is a good thing.

It's pretty weird, isn't it. Web3 discourse is a seething pile of cryptobros trying to tell me this thing I've been building on for two decades as openly as humanly possible should now be done using technology they just happen to have put a stake up in... Because... Blockchain. It all feels very 2018, people trying to jam "Blockchain" into every product feature list.

Everything I've seen so far are either people trying to get rich quick, or people trying to be, or trying to be seen to be edgy.

Love this, but as a writer/interviewer, I'm a little thrown by this being part of the article framework:

> Some may claim that this is simply a modern fad, a case of "hashtag horticulture" that lends itself to eye-catching posts. But terrariums have a long and fascinating history that predates social media by more than 150 years.

> "People will often say it's been driven by social media..."

OK, it's a century-old fad... I understand there COULD be an issue if someone jumps in because of ~aesthetic~ only to grow bored and toss their terrariums. But so what if someone discovers terrariums "as a fad"? Or if then they build a social following around it? They either actually enjoy it, which is great, or they're so committed to a performative image that it's lucky they latched onto plants in jars and not something more intense. Just a weird angle imo that doesn't deserve the few sentences it takes to address lol, just jump straight into the interesting stuff
Right, but you answered your own question. Sure you can lend other people crypto so they can gamble with it. It is all a pump and dump scheme. People aren't borrowing crypto on DeFi to buy a car or house. Crypto isn't practical money. I also don't think that layer 2 or other off-chain will be able to solve it. This is just "money" that is controlled by someone, just not a specific government. As soon as the government makes it illegal, almost all of it will go to zero.

Everyone seems to be missing the obvious reason they want you to view Wrapped in the app: because they want you to share it to your stories on Instagram, Snapchat, etc, which you cannot do on the web.

> Most popular shell languages are terrible as programming languages,

Could not agree more, and my hobby is writing those shell scripts in a DSL that is very close to bash.

To me the main benefit of terminals and shells is the composability of utilities that are built to run in text-only environments. Daisy-chaining tools together on the fly is immensely powerful and just not possible with GUI based programs.

Well, for example, the Amazon AWS is a self-referential babble for the traditional web. But I guess it doesn't make it useless.
I saw this a while ago and wanted to contribute so I found my way to their source. Unfortunately, this was my first interaction with SourceHut, the site they use as their central point of development, and found it completely unintuitive. After 15 minutes of fumbling around I basically just said "I'll try it again later" and never got back to it. This might just be because this was my first encounter with the site.

eBay has been continually backed into a corner since the rise of Amazon in 2010. They have behaved like a wounded animal cornered and fighting back.

Given that Amazon is just reaching its might now, the real pain for eBay's marketplace has not yet begun.

That means the worst of eBay is yet to come. Be careful of cornering wounded animals.
> The only reason cryptography ban in the 90s failed was because everybody in the business world needed to have access to strong crypto for to use security reasons. If people had to roll their own crypto, the NSA cryptanalysts would have had a really fun time because almost all of them would have been utterly broken.

You wouldn’t really need to roll your own crypto to post transactions to the Bitcoin network, a Bitcoin hash is basically sha256 done twice.

Bitcoin uses much the same cryptography that most banks, ssl certs and other internet cryptography use. Unless you plan to memory hole the entire topic of sha256 and bitcoin hash algorithms, it seems unlikely that any government operating on the premise of a citizenry with the right to free speech, could prevent it.
Yeah, if anyone is a "serious" competitor to Lego, it's Mega Bloks. They have the Mattel IP licenses, they had several Nickelodeon properties, Star Trek, Halo, etc. McFarlane tried to get in the building block segment with Rick and Morty sets. Stuff that should have been solid sellers.

But without a doubt, Lego has been simply better quality across the board. Better builds, better bricks, better customer service. I bought the Ludo set and it had two of one piece and it was missing another (for the spinner). Sent a message to Lego with the set and piece number and within a week, I had the piece. I was missing an entire bag out of another set, and they sent that to me as well. And out of my 30+ years of buying and building sets, those are the only two times there's been mistakes.

And as to the prices, Lego's price per piece has remained fairly consistent, it's just that their sets have increased in complexity and piece count over the years. It's an issue they've recognized and are adjusting for. They realized they needed more products in the $10 - $30 price range.

People are spoiled nowadays. Computers used to come with a set of books. When I started with GNU+Linux 20 years ago, I read Running Linux 2nd edition back to back.

GNU+Linux worked just fine back then, and it still does now. KDE was already a thing. To start with computers, I'd recommend the GNU Manifesto. Free software is important. These days, anyone using a computer without a FLOSS operating system on it is just ignorant. There's been TV ads. CDs by mail were free. There are magazines. Arch has a wiki.

And to those who are willing to make their computer work for them again: welcome to the FLOSS community. Hope you enjoy it!

That's the case with most nationalist countries, tbf.

Many countries in the EU discriminate against "lesser races".

Works great for the nation, but I wish immigrants wouldn't put up with it.

Why pay taxes in a country where you're barely tolerated?

Hell, the Nazis/racists are right, "why don't you improve your country instead of coming here"?
I would argue there are many more, and much more widely differing, workflows for DAW use than there are for 3D (maybe even 2D) graphics. There are somewhere in the range of 12-20 "significant" DAWs out there, with a very wide range of workflows supported (not all of them by all the DAWs).

This doesn't include "generation environments" like VCV Rack, Reaktor, Bespoke and many others that don't have any traditional DAW features but are immensely powerful tools for synthesis and compositional discovery and creation.

Depending on the uniqueness of your imagined or actual workflow, there is probably a tool that comes close, but the potential variations do imply that its not hard to come up with a description for "what I really want in an audio tool" that just doesn't exist (at least not without you doing significant work yourself e.g. programming in PureData).
There are pods attempt to do that but are largely unsuccessful.
So, I'm curious, what's the big thing about Zrythm?

Is it that you can automate much more params than on Logic/Ableton?

The fact that it's open-source is pretty cool though.
This is somewhat an odd read. As examples, I don't recall ever having my desktop crash. It's way more stable and performs better than Windows.

Then his point about the install of ODS doesn't make sense. Yes, the text of the button says build instructions. But the page it's a link to has easy install instructions for every distribution under the sun. You have to scroll past them to get to the instrucitons to actually build the package.

> Eh, aside from making java and bedrock incompatible

The "Minecraft Pocket Edition" (MCPE) code that became Bedrock predates Microsoft's involvement by over three years. Bedrock is actually Microsoft's effort to unify versions, eliminating the separate legacy console editions and providing cross-play with PC, mobile, and other console users.

Java remains separate because the consoles will never run Java and the modding community that exists around the Java version just can't be replicated on the Bedrock codebase. If it weren't for mods I guarantee Java edition would be dead.
We have still a very non-creative and industrial worldview, and people really just stop caring about other stuff and stop learning after they specialize and get a job. Breakthroughs happen both as a function of connecting different specific domains and when a domain becomes generalized and its main concepts become common knowledge as part of the language.

Ostensibly, yes. If Amazon decides to stop hosting my software, I can move it to a competing distributor or host it myself. That is not an option with Discord.

The parent seemed to be specifically calling out Intel spot instances.

The key part being the cheapest available Graviton and Intel spot instances:

a1/32gb/16vcpu (early graviton) @ 8c and

versus:

M5zn/48gb/12vcpu (late Intel) @ 12c

Perhaps that will change as Graviton ages and availability changes.

> Don’t most other Christians (Trinitarians) believe Jesus is the God of the Old Testament, just also the (only) God, period?

It was divisive in the early church. Marcion of Sinope who compiled what might be the first known canon was a proponent that the god from the Old Testament and the one from the New Testament are different in the second century. He had quite a following but all his writings are lost. He was excommunicated for this view but Marcionism had a lasting influence on the church.
Yes, they alternate red and green!

Ideology isn't religion.

Like it or not (evidently you do not), most politics is practiced within an ideological framework. Calling out ~80% of the world as fanatics for acting as such seems a little... extreme?

In any case, the interesting part of this story is how two leaders (Boris and LKY) can lack overriding ideology and only seek power and yet one builds housing for people to live in while the other doesn't.
It's good for the hard working to be rewarded, I don't think anyone except the most extreme would disagree with that, including most leftists. The problem in the USA is that black people started out as slaves and this massive social oppression was never balanced out; famously the "thirty acres and a mule" reparations never materialised. As such black people largely remain a separate economic class due explicitly to government policy. The idea of equity as I understand it is to try to emulate or create an actual level playing field, where equality of opportunity is just pretending that race neutral policy creates an even playing field on its own.

The whole "calling people racist for not advocating for equity" thing is ridiculous I agree; I think only a noisy subset of "woke scolds" actually do this. The actual idea is that institutions that ignore the reality of race in America are perpetuating those conditions, and thus are "institutionally racist", but that doesn't mean that the people in that institution are racist; it just means they're not anti-racist, which means they are basically just neutral/ambivalent/unaware.

The postmodern left has a lot of pretty bad behaviour in the public eye, but the underlying theory is sound.
I'm seeing it too.

I pasted one of the gibberish answers into the chat window and it replied "We’re currently unavailable. We’ll get back to you when one of our operators is able to respond." I'm almost tempted to give them an actual email address to see what comes back.
I started buying huge stacks of DVDs from Goodwill. They are on my Plex NAS now, along with all of my music. All legally purchased. I was considering starting a donation chain where I give all of my DVDs to someone who wants to do the same, who in turn would give them to someone after they are done. It is a lot of work but my shows and movies are super fast, ad-free, and accessible from anywhere. A pleasant friction-free experience after ingestion.
> (But, I use Reaper, so who am I to talk)

Reaper is a fantastic DAW, at a great price point IMO. I've had a side hustle for a while now editing podcasts and doing voice overs for a couple of corporate clients (my former job being one of them) and Reaper is the chefs knife in my kitchen of sound
But Dave can only use the capability if he has Bob's private key. That's why we need keys.
True, but somehow still only $1.35T out of $4T total healthcare spending.

The original claim by smus was that the US could pay for all healthcare, presumably without increasing taxes. I find that hard to agree with. Even if we assume we can cut 25% overhead from the $4T total, the US would still need to come up with $1.5T+ to meet $3T total healthcare spending.

I do not see it happening without increasing taxes. Which may not make any effective difference other than to redudant employees of managed care organizations (MCOs) who get laid off, because presumably the premiums currently getting paid to the MCOs simply get collected as taxes.
Yes, the McMoons location is what I was thinking. Thanks for helping ensure that I'm not crazy. at least in this particular instance! So this time, the voices were not leading me astray ;-)
