They upgraded our PBX so that you can just dial the number as it is and the software figures out internal or external or 911. The 1 key on a lot of our phones was bouncing so 9-1-800-bla-blah would turn into 911 way too often. So they changed to not require the 9.
What about delivery by ship? I wonder what are the limits for cargo ships. Personnel could evacuate and remotely detonate.
> EDIT: Bigger bombs could be made, but the question of "how to deliver" the weapon to our enemies becomes a significant question. There's always the Dr. Strangelove approach of building an infinitely huge bomb in your own country, and hoping the bomb is big enough to blow up the world... but that was a joke / sarcastic movie and not an actual plan (I hope).

I could absolutely see a country planting too-big-to-drop nukes along potential invasion routes. Especially during the Cold War, but even now.
You realize Firefox only exists because it serves Google's interests right?

And while Brave might be based on Chromium, it is distinct; in addition to not crippling nativewebrequest as chrome will, it's native adblocker is compatible with the same lists as ublock origin. So I would go with Brave :)
Good point.. not sure, a decision in the moment. Posting on HN makes me nervous maybe :)
As an aside to the technical conversation— I appreciate the use of cooking as an analogy in your code samples in the posted article.

It's not just because I was a chef! Using nouns, adjectives and verbs from (familiar) concrete hierarchical analogies makes technical writing much more accessible. It reduces cognitive load by implying more about the structure of the relationship than variables like "intVar" and functions like "printVar" tied together in entirely contrived, abstract ways. In particular, newer developers, or ones unfamiliar with your language paradigms will benefit heartily.

I implore my fellow developers to follow suit.

I want to make one more comment and then I am done. Access to the federal court system is a bargain. An absolute bargain. You can usually file a case for about $350-400, and the fees are tempered or removed if you can prove indigency. You get a LOT for your money if your case is legitimate. You can potentially eat up hundreds of hours of court room (judge, clerk) time, which is clearly tens of thousands of dollars worth of work.

The court system is incredibly subsidized in the USA.

Shame about the lawyer fees....!

I just replaced a thinkpad x1 extreme gen 2 with a dell xps 17 (I wanted a 16:10 screen and shipping estimates for the x1 extreme gen 4 were ridiculous. Also, Lenovo of Canada are a bunch of dirty crooks).

The thinkpad was pretty good, and wayland on fedora worked beautifully (I only used integrated graphics in linux, didn't even try to get the discrete gpu working). The one thing that really didn't work in linux was the fingerprint scanner - it would fail about 7/8 times I used it, which is really too bad because fedora has really nice fingerprint integration with sudo.

Also, something seemed to be a bit funny about it's displayport implementation - when it was connected to my DP monitor and went to sleep, the monitor would wake it back up again almost instantly and it would get into this weird back-and-forth between sleep mode and waking. That happened in both linux and windows. This doesn't happen with my new xps.

Otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing. It was a well-built computer with a nice keyboard. I might get another thinkpad at some point, but I'm loving this super-compact 17" 16:10 display on the xps.
It's a great system, but it is very far from replacing pilots in any useful way. As you said it's mostly a nice integration of the existing autopilot functions.

Real world flying with the 10^7 or 10^9 kind of scale for safety isn't in need for a better autopilot. That would be like making a more precise cruise control while you want a self driving car. What it needs is better decision making and problem solving skills. And those are very much lacking from these current systems.

I have an instructor rating. We can teach an average human in 5 to 10 hours how to control a plane. Then we spend an additional 40 to 60 hours on how to make the right decisions, solve problems, deal with weather, traffic etc. And humans are really good at that.

What is needed if you want autonomous flight is really good AI decision making, not aircraft control.
I've seen this exact list of links a handful of times now. It feels more like circumstantial guilt than anything else, given the lack of public information. I wish we wouldn't do that.

I didn't say it's fine and in another comment I added that nobody disagrees that codes referenced by laws should be freely available, but the organizations making those codes do need to be compensated.

How happy would you be if you were an engineer who developed a set of equations around some dangerous piece of equipment and your consulting business was built around selling your expertise. Then the state government comes along and says "nice work, now it's the law".

I don't know how you get around the insurance backdoor that I mentioned. Any ideas?

Edit: Looking at the link you posted, that seems to be specifically about annotations to the law. How does it cover codes incorporated by reference? It might be right there and I'm not seeing it. I'm not used to reading these types of materials.

Turn a C-5 Galaxy into a drone and then you have 140+ tons to work with.
I don't think you need to choose which of these things to "worry about". Instead, I think it's important to mention that direct CIA interference is just the most obvious part of the system of propaganda and if such interference ceased, the propaganda problem would remain.

And more broadly, the press has traditionally served US interests because it's an institution of US society and shares interests with other US institutions. The idea that there could be a purely unbiased press itself something of an American invention - historically, the press has always had a place in on political spectrum.

That not saying the propagandistic quality of the modern press isn't to worry. It's gone a bit from an argument for our side to a manipulation for our side. How bad that still depends on how bad you think the given sides are. The standard argument during the Cold War was "however bad we might act, the other side is worse, so we need to effective". Now, one can find some equivalent if you to defend the situation.
I'm having a very strange sense of deja vu...
Safari had the same concept first.
The issue is that each set top box, cable modem and everything else gets a management IP address on the network as well for allowing configuration changes/validating status/all that fun stuff.

The large push for IPv6 was started so that management of set top boxes/cable modems no longer required large islands of RFC1918 space where they had to deploy multiple NAT's to get traffic in/out of those environments.

Measuring Planck's Constant with LEDs
I had a p15 at a job a few years ago. I was onboarding on this large .NET project that had like a day of environment setup just to get it running.

After going through the grueling setup I couldn't get the damn thing to start and the errors were coming from some random windows service that I couldn't see referenced anywhere.

Fortunately I was on onboarding with another person and they had the exact same problem, so it wasn't just something I was doing wrong.

Two days worth of googling and fumbling around I figured out we were the first to get the updated model of the laptop everyone else was using and the dolby surround drivers that came with the new version were killing some windows messaging service used by some database feature.

A hard pass on Lenovo stuff after that experience, drivers breaking core OS services is not something I'd call a professional device. Who the hell buys a P15 for Dolby Atmos support anyway ? It could have no speakers included and be equally good for the intended use case.
I registered with RIPE this year, requested an IPv4 /24 in July, and got it immediately. I guess RIPE's last blocks depleted in November?

Market prices on the other hand have exploded this year, $50 per address isn't uncommon anymore.
Web Extensions have never had a spec before. So of course Google is taking the initiative to aggressively re-define & cut down what an extension is, at the exact moment they try to turn it into a cross-browser standard.
Any book recommendations in that category? Ive been eyeing “109 East Palace: Robert Oppenheimer and the Secret City of Los Alamos” for some time but have not started anything.
"Since the RIPE NCC began operations in 1992, we have been responsible for distributing IP addresses and AS Numbers in our service region. In November 2019, we exhausted our remaining IPv4 pool. This means that networks in Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia are no longer able to receive “new” IPv4 addresses from us that haven’t previously been used by another network."
Which is relevant for trustworthy stable apps.

I found it's irrelevant for fly-by-night actually fraudulent apps which are just going to redeploy with slightly different name tomorrow.

Not as far as I can tell. The rate of immigration is the lesser of “how many people are willing to migrates the host country” and “how many migrants the host country will accept” and I would be shocked if the latter number was not many multiples of the former number.

I’ve heard some outlandish things under the rubric of American exceptionalism, but I’ve never once heard anyone—not even my most nationalistic acquaintances nor Fox News/etc—say that the US was the only place anyone wants to go. Who are the people who believe/espouse this?

yes, from what I've heard, they specified full ipv6 as a non-negotiable "must have" with their CPE vendors (and CMTS) almost 16, 18 years ago. Comcast gets a lot of shit for its poor customer service practices, as does any huge cable company, but the people who run the core IP network knew, and still do know what they're doing.
The graph starts in November 2019 because that is when the waitlist system was introduced. There's not point in going back further because further back the waitlist didn't exist.
Same reason companies also buy cloud infrastructure and platforms as a service; to offload the deployment and operations.
Not needing to do address translation is a large amount of code that you don't need to run to keep IP traffic flowing.

Sure, you absolutely need a stateful firewall, but not needing address translation makes it easier to troubleshoot, makes it easier to establish end to end connectivity and no need to port forward or things of that nature so multiple clients can all use the same port.

When you're dealing with solar (or any renewable really), you have to think about the generation of electricity and storage of that electricity.

Solar thermal plants can be used to generate energy, but they're not great at storing it for dispatch at later times. Even the link you provided has thermal storage as a component of the system-- you need to figure out how to dispatch electricity at night.

What's proposed is a cheaper storage solution, and they state it can still provide power after 10 hours.
I've heard there are places where you can rent sets, which makes it more cost effective.
They thought of that already.

One of the differences between IPv6 and IPv4 is that the v6 address space is enormous and stack assumes your interface will have multiple addresses.

In particular, on each interface you normally have:

* A link-local IPv6 address (non route-able). This is used for neighbor discovery and router solicitation, among other things.

* A static-ish cryptographically generated address (often called a secured address). This is used for incoming connections.

* One or more temporary addresses with relatively short lifetimes. These are preferred for outgoing connections. The lifetime of these addresses often overlap because any the OS has to maintain the address for any open connections.

Note that these addresses can be generated automatically using SLAAC, and you would normally have a set of secured and temporary addresses for each upstream router that is sending router advertisements. You may also have another set of secured and temporary addresses in the IPv6 private range (equivalent to 10.0.0.0), if your router is advertising that (useful for internal services like DNS, where you want to configure the server address in the DHCPv6 config). So it’s not unusual for a given host on a simple home network to have a dozen addresses in 2 or 3 subnets (on one Ethernet interface).

The bottom line is that your server should be listening on the secured address and your web browser should be using temporary addresses for outbound connections.
IIRC you can apply it on macOS via MDM / configuration profiles, but that's not as simple as gpedit.msc.
Is virtualenv not very useful? I use pipenv and find it extremely useful having my various projects separate.

I think you should reread my comment. I made no claims, references, or insinuations about racial bias amongst police. That Daniel Shaver was not armed is precisely why he is not relevant to my point. His race does not matter since he wasn’t armed. That 2nd amendment rights advocates did not clamor for justice for Philando is telling and I think motivated by racial considerations. It’s not a right if the police can kill you with impunity when exercising that so called right.

Philando was killed with impunity. There is no disputing this fact. It’s irrelevant that he was prosecuted because the fact remains that police killed a man who did nothing wrong with virtually no consequences. By and large police know their misconduct goes unpunished and this is a very bad thing.
This seems novel, well done! I wonder how much demand there is for such a tool.
Here in Switzerland, if you work more than 8 hours a week your employer is simply responsible for all accident insurance, working less they can buy limited coverage leaving you to buy your own for off hours.

Health insurance is about 20X more expensive than accident and is none of your employers business so I'm not sure why Americans are fussing.
The irritating thing about crypto investing [I have a couple of grand's worth divided amongst about half a dozen coins and have been HODLing for about 5 years now] is that they almost always rise and fall together. So there's rarely an option to sell one while it's on a high to fund purchasing another while it's low.

As regards price predictions. My gut feeling is that long-term the price is only going up. But there will likely be many spectacular rises and falls on the way. But I wouldn't wipe my arse with most of the short-term predictions by all these so-called 'analysts' on the various crypto news sites. They'll say one thing today and [with equal conviction and confidence] the exact opposite tomorrow --often with fancy charts to try and make it look like they have a fucking clue what they're on about
The short summary of what this paper describes is an increase in GBS specific to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine (Ad.26.COV2.S), with no significant change for recipients of mRNA vaccines.

> The incidence of GBS in the 21 days after Ad.26.COV2.S was 34.6 per 100,000 person-years, which was substantially greater than the expected background rate of 1-2 per 100,000 person-years.

I agree with the prescription to stay off weaponized social propaganda platforms and focus on your local community, but I don't see how you can ask people to blindly trust the CIA. Too many misdeeds to count.

- Fabricating justification for war (Vietnam, Iraq)
- Fabricating evidence of treason by a sitting President (Trump-Russia)
- Overthrowing democratically elected governments (e.g. Iran)
- Starting civil wars (e.g. Nicaragua)
- Assassinating thousands of people, often with collateral killing of innocents
- And drugs drugs drugs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_CIA_drug_traffi...

Ultimately, do we live in a better world thanks to the CIA? From where I sit, I'd need a lot of convincing to believe that.

It’s a well documented problem that many groups have tried various technical approaches to mitigate over 100,000 hour operating windows.

Canceling NYT subscription using Twilio and Google speech to text
Paul Graham and Balaji really don't like the New York Times. Can't blame them really. The NYT lets you subscribe online, but you can only unsubscribe by calling them or talking to them through chat.

I made a repo where users can talk to someone at support to cancel their NYT subscription. It uses twilio to place the call, and streams the audio through websockets to google's speech to text api. When it hears that you are next in line, it forwards you the call.

Here's the github repo: https://github.com/toshvelaga/cancel-NYT

> The sorts of processes and. Management needed for a larger company are different than those at a small one. You need more process. There’s no way around it.

There is: don't go public or issue stocks. In Germany, we are famous for non-public companies: the "Mittelstand" is largely owned by the founders or their descendants, which frees them from a lot of external influences - for better (companies can focus on long term goals instead of phony quarterly/activist investor-driven "KPI/OKR" goals, companies save on a lot of the bureaucracy that the law mandates for public/share-issuing companies) or worse (we're notorious for a lack of digitalization and progress as well as inheritance squabbles).

An example are the retail chains ALDI and LIDL or manufacturers Bosch and Heraeus - all tens to hundreds of thousands of employees and many billions of net worth, but it's rare to even find somewhat reliable numbers on them.

It kind of is. How many times have you ever called 911? I never have.
I think the (unstated) expectation with code navigation tools is that they are best-effort. Beyond your example, plenty of languages allow exotic and dynamic runtime behavior - eval(..)ing user/network input, monkeypatching, etc. - that makes it impossible to know a priori exactly what a call site might invoke.
I think your comment has a lot of merit. Personally Tailwind has been awesome but I think it's because it makes all these abstractions for you. It also forces less experienced developers to follow this abstraction rather than making their own, which usually ends up as a ball of spaghetti.

I have a similar comment elsewhere in the thread but it applies here too, I think: the main drawback of Tailwind is that it's extremely general. I'd imagine a well abstracted, focused, domain-specific set of CSS created by experienced frontend developers will be much better within that domain.
Whether this process is justifiable or moral is an interesting question. A second question is whether there's any alternative (I doubt it). One thing's for sure: the border between "vision" and "lie" is hard to figure out.
