I just want to make sure I understand.

Your position is that they should have added significant complexity to a maneuver that was already the most complex of its kind. A maneuver with $10 billion and two decades of work on the line. In order to make the first 30 days of a 10+ year mission marginally more entertaining.

You propose this while fully aware that the "entertainment" in question consists of things unfolding in extremely slow motion, in total darkness.

I mean, okay.

(Thought experiment: when you think about the Hubble, do you think about the day they shoved it out of the shuttle's cargo bay, or do you think about those groundbreaking images it captured during its multidecade mission?)

Your private key would be used to sign a message that proves your public key. But your public key is all that's needed to validate which NFTs you own or whether you hold an NFT from a particular collection.

> The nft would be authorization, which sounds a lot like digital rights management to me

The NFT can be used as a token to access a particular service. But by no means is it anything like DRM.

An NFT is recorded in a smart contract. The record of an NFT's purchase and transfer history is immutable and on-chain. It's not revokable by a record company if they sold it under some particular terms to begin with.

At this point, however, it's far more likely that a music NFT has been produced and sold by the artist themselves, rather than a record label (3LAU https://nft.3lau.com/#/auction), Euler Beats (https://eulerbeats.com/genesis/21575894274), RAC (https://rac.fm/nft) as some examples. That's part of the beauty of this system, though, in my mind. An artist can have a direct relationship with their fans and keep nearly 100% of the revenue. They may even focus on obtaining 1000 high dollar mega-fans rather than hoping for a billion plays on Spotify, for example. And that's going to be perfectly ok as a business model in Web3.
The alternative is that you can download the autonomous software and start using without any network connectivity.

But what happens when JD discovers a problem with the software? How do they force you to upgrade your software? What happens if the bug is dangerous or the bug causes your tractor to have mechanical issues if not upgraded?

Does the farmer want to be responsible for installing the emergency software update?
Good to know I'm not the only one that writes out replies and doesn't post them for this reason

Well, that was an awesome Wikipedia link hole. Thanks!
When critical information is found, intelligence agencies often do NOT want to expose it, at least to the extent that the release could reveal HOW they found it, and thus alert the adversary to the leak path so they shut it off.

This is just bog-standard operating procedure.

Just because they aren't telling us, does NOT mean we can therefore infer that nothing more exists.
Avira is probably aware of it because of all the false positives

But now its likely an antitrust violation so that could be fun
And every one of them needs a separate client, with a separate list of friends and handles, a separate program to check and monitor, ensuring that they are well-behaving. The current generation of software has no equivalent of Trillian or Pidgin, which could interact across any protocol. Heck, the current generation has no concept of "protocols" at all, instead treating the network communication as something entirely internal and subservient to the program running it.
I think "Libre" is fine.

- It looks like Liberty in text, which is the main context it will be used in. Just tell people it's a "cool" modification of the word "Liberty".

- It carries the connotations of personal freedom (liberty) instead of financial freedom (free).

- People are actually using it right now, so most laymen would be able to google it and get some notion of what it is.
> But because I run one Linux desktop and don't feel like replacing my old Pixel, I have to deal with their ire.

SMS/MMS has technical limitations you're running into. It's the lowest common denominator that's going to work between Apple and non-Apple devices. Google and carriers have shit the bed multiple times over the past decade trying to come up with an equivalent to iMessage.
Well. That's a bummer.
Man, I was making a joke. Obviously maintainers of documentation aren’t jerks. I’m usually good at reading documentation. I’ve run Ubuntu on a laptop for a year or two in the past, but the headaches of audio and Wi-Fi drivers were beyond documentation, and well into SO and google rabbit holes.

Ultimately I gave up and reverted to Mac. If my choice was windows or Linux, I might choose Linux, but as long as I can keep Mac OS, I’ll probably not use either.
Causes kidney stones. So does raw spinach in large quantities if had everyday! (Of course..When cooked it’s ok)
That isn’t controversial. The issue is your first point, there is no control group for the Earth as a whole system. So demanding a control group as a barrier to causal reasoning about the relationship between weather and the climate is an impossible bar.

Weather is real. Weather has causes. We can and do reason about those causes all the time.
It's like reading Greenwald.
I also thought that. But on second thought I agree with her analysis. The reason that y and y' are different is the same that x and x' are different. It is a problem of lacking resolution, so it will always underestimate more on the higher value, at least if you do enough simulations to get enough samples.
Probably the choice principle of unjust enrichment.
And Apple doesn’t?

I’d like to assume (because I literally have no way of finding otherwise) Apple spies on us more than other platforms.

It’s so tightly locked down and locked in that most of the ways you control tracking on other platforms are either impossible or frustratingly hard and cumbersome on Apple devices, let alone services.

Top that with most of those services being much inferior to competition without a doubt other than the polished looks (and even that’s doubtful).
That doesn't make sense, unless the amount of food waste, measured as a percentage of total food, increases as the total amount of food produced increases.
Latest Scheme standard is much more recent than the CL one, though. Thus my point still stands.
In my view, the problem with the noble lie, which you are engaging in, is that it has been an unmitigated disaster with regards to Covid messaging.

As it became obvious some officials were willing to lie, this opened the door to many people having no idea who to trust.

I believe public trust in leaders and institutions is at an incredible low, and I’m not sure how it can be repaired.

Regardless of whether you think people are capable of nuance, most people have people in their circle who they trust and do have that capacity.
Meanwhile, keeping secrets on the internet is very hard.

I think a much better strategy is to explain honestly and with nuance, and hope that this will maintain your credibility in the face of an army of internet researchers who will probably do more to shape average people’s conception than you can ever hope to do directly.

I would say, please don’t lie.
Most don't need to buy new stuff for a USB C charger. I can take the same cable and charge my MacBook, Windows laptop, iPad, Xbox controllers, Switch controllers, Switch, Android phone, drone, and portable battery. I can plug that cable into many of the different chargers around the house or plug a combination of devices together with it. When I do I can share charge or exchange data. When I leave I can unplug my 4k portable fold up monitor from my desktop's GPU and put it in the laptop bag to use on my MacBook with the same cable as anything else. Generally I carry 2 USB C cables and 1 dual port charging brick in that bag and I'm covered for charging, data, power, or display of any device I bring along.

When lightning was introduced no non-Apple things used or would use lightning, you were forced to buy all new stuff. Now it's rarely the case someone buying a brand new iPhone doesn't also already have any USB C chargers or cables. As such this is not ironic for the majority, just sad and frustrating... as what doesn't fit into this mold? My god damned Air Pods Pro which insists I have a dedicated c-to-lightning cable just for it wherever they go with me. Not the cable on the couch for the console controllers, not the cables around the PC, not the 2 cables that do everything else in my travel bag, not the phone charging cable next to my bed, the lightning cable the charge the charging pod to charge my headphones. Fantastic headphones as they are while on the go in noisy environments... why they needed to be lightning I'll never come to terms with.

.

Regardless it's unlikely they'll be sticking with it. The EU is now requiring mobile phones with a wired charging port to support USB C (and additional interfaces if they desire but at least USB C directly). So like the GP alluded to either the next iPhone will be portless or have USB C. Well, or Apple doesn't sell the iPhone in Europe but given the iPad and current MacBooks are USB C that seems exceedingly unlikely. Portless however... wouldn't surprise me.
Oil tankers, LNG carriers, and coal transporters are specialized to their cargoes. I doubt that there are alternative types of cargo for any of them. Certainly not in the same quantities. Transporting water, for instance, is not economic beyond a few thousand km.

For all the breathless talk (above) about how the cost of renewable energy and batteries are plummeting, it is still not clear how cargo ships will be powered sans fossil fuels, or what that will cost. Time and the market will tell, I suppose.
I will treat this as a genuine question. This is a complex topic. You could start by reading "The Art and Science of Climate Model Tuning".

Look through it by hand? Like. I’ve never seen those bag scanning machines used anywhere other than airports and high security government buildings.

A non-school example would be concert venues and sports — they just metal detect you and search your bag if it lights up.
People (including me!) really don't have a feel for just how far some of these instruments push things.

The Hubble Deep Field was a surprise to quite a few established astronomers. LIGO is measuring things way smaller than nucleons. The JWST can see so far back in time hat you can measure deltas from the beginning of the visible universe.

I know that I just don't have an appreciation for just how hard these things are to do.
The one and only reason I don't use a French Press is the pain it is to remove the coffee grounds to clean it. This one is better but it is still messy to clean.

We need one where we can just press the grounds into the trash -maybe one where bottom unscrews. Also, part of the joy of a French Press is seeing the brewed coffee. This one is made of metal so it blocks that.

I'm glad someone is trying but it's still not there.
Firefox Android lacks both as well.
I just want to point out that I see two common arguments here which are not mutually exclusive and are for some reason used to debate one another.

1) Those not at risk are a threat to those at risk (at home, at restaurants, etc). We should be concerned not because of their own safety, but because of the risk to others.

2) The author appears to be (or children in general) overly scared based on the risk COVID poses to them. They are relatively safe. I like to look at risk in terms of things I can relate to - safer than dying from a car accident this year. Parents should worry more about driving (1:10k per year [1]) than their child dying to COVID (1:500k [2]). The difference is even greater for injured in a car vs hospitalized by COVID (magnitudes of difference).

Can we stop talking around each other and recognize both are true?

I started using IRC when I was 12. I'm 37 now. I owe a lot to IRC. I learned a tonne from some good people, ran several of my own servers which led me to HTTP, FTP and more.

I stopped using IRC full time about five years ago when I realised it's basically dead.

I also find that whenever I return to it today, it's mostly made up of kids (who missed out on the golden era of IRC) and grumpy, old arse-hats who are angry that their platform is dying out and has been reduced to a very small sub-set of (technical) users.

I switched to Discord (here's my server for DevOps: https://discord.gg/devopslounge) and Slack, but now I barely use Slack (the client is just garbage.)

I'm happy to directed to a good IRC network with some good, well run channels on DevOps, programming, infosec and more. If anyone knows of any such places do let me know, but I'll not get my hopes up.
That's what I meant by the right environment. I don't think it'd work well for the typical American public school.
This is just selection bias (the type of teens in high school that post on HN). I know for a veritable fact that teens in high school in the US use iMessage.
You are correct. This wonderful article taken from American Cinematographer goes over this very topic in great detail:

Regarding "footage", notice that you also refer to them as "film-makers." There really isn't film involved. And Netflix is named after the term "flick" which refers to the flickery effect you get with movies (especially in the old days), which hopefully isn't there anymore.
Yes. The same claims could be made by any government about any perceived threat actor. It's mostly politics in this case.
Does the UK not already have the "Certified pre-owned" programs that car dealers in the USA have had for decades? You buy a certified pre-owned Ford, GMC, Toyota, etc, and it's a used car that has been inspected and refurbished, coming with a warranty. That's what this sounds like, just with a third round tacked on.
I've no facts to back that up, but my bet is that a) this is true in well off countries, and b) not true in non-well off countries.
No, don't do this. You don't have to respond at all to threats of a lawsuit -- not even to letters from a lawyer, threatening to sue you.

But again you definitely need to get a lawyer (which if you have a FT job you should definitely be able to afford). Beyond that I really don't have any more advice for you.

Should I mail them I am currently suffering from Covid and I am no condition to think about all this.

If you're an engineer, the path is very straightforward. HN may not like this path, but it is tried and true and has never failed any individual.

1. Practice leet code until you can solve all medium and some hard questions.

2. Apply cold or find people on blind, LinkedIn, etc willing to refer you.

3. Use your leet code skills to pass the interview.

If you do all 3 steps, I guarantee you will get a job in startup world. These steps may have challenges but all are achievable of you put in the hrs.

Bonus: do well in that job for 2 years and then you will be able to hop companies if you like
Can you give a specific example of what you are talking about? What noble lies were being told about COVID? I heard a lot of "we don't knows, but here is the best bet" which were not lies, but all of the lies I heard absolutely were not noble in that they were not for the public's best interest, but rather for the best interest of the individual saying them.
This is where the difference between theory and reality start to become an issue.

Yes, in theory the full node contains the full blockchain. Yes, it's all you need to verify that any transaction happened. Yes it's tamper proof.

But in reality, it can't show you the full side-effects of every transaction. In reality there are occasionally things things that require archival data. In reality, it's always easier to go to a centralised block explorer, or pay one of the few centralised API services (And I know this from experience, I've synced a full archival node back in 2019, and build a product that required querying it. It was such a pain that these days I'd highly recommend not doing that and just paying for API access)

In reality, the fact that you occationally need to go to etherscan to get the data you need, results in you just going to etherscan anyway, even for the simpler queries when you have a perfectly fine full node sitting there (again, personal experience). Hell, etherscan actually provides more data than an archival node, where else are you going to find the source code for contracts?

In reality... Most people don't even run light nodes. They certainly don't run full nodes. They just use etherscan, or whatever API their 3rd party wallet uses.

That's why in reality, access to ethereum is partially centralised around API providers. Yes, in theory anyone can go around them, set up their own node or create a competing API service at any time. But that's not what happens in reality, and when it comes to the topic of centralisation vs decentralisation, I'd argue that reality is far more important than theory.

Like a lot of other complex systems, there's a lot of tweaking you can do in the config, but generally postgres works out of the box pretty well. There's a few gotchas on setup (postgres has a very conservative default configuration for things like memory usage and parallelism), but it's still pretty good.

I'd say the biggest footgun is really not knowing about the process per connection limitation, which is why the article mentions pg bouncer. Everything else in the article is pretty geared towards setting your db up for monitoring so you can head off issues.

Don't even have the belief.
The point is that warning about extreme weather events is the only narrative that got people to consider global warming a problem at all.

A 2 degree change in average temperature doesn’t change how people live. A heat wave does.

Now I don’t know if it’s actually true or not but it feels like the frequency of extreme weather event has increased. It’s difficult to say because that’s something our grandparents already said 50 years ago.

But then there are 2 possibilities:

1. Either the frequency of extreme events has actually increased and it would be hard not to pin it down on climate change (despite our inability to do it scientifically).

2. Or it hasn’t changed significantly (statistically speaking), and it’s all a bit of mass hysteria.

Either way doesn’t actually matter. I personally don’t care if people are scared about the acidification of oceans or about rain for their next barbecue. As long as they vote for people who want to do something about it.

I personally have been criticized by friends for saying that we don’t know what the impact of climate change is on the weather. I don’t care anymore. It’s all about narrative. That one works, let’s not poke holes in it. It only benefits people running polluting industries.
My understanding from the video is:

the climate models stink, and everyone in the science understands this but has difficulty communicating this.

The real world is more extreme than the models. But we have no way to extend the models to cover the seen extremes, nor do we know how to cap the possible extremities in any model.

Do i have that right?

> Most don't need to buy new stuff for a USB C charger. […]

You’re right. That’s different this time and I’m sympathetic to it. As I’ve started to gain more and more USB-C stuff the possible convenience it would provide has certainly increased. When people were beating this drum 2-3 years ago I basically didn’t have any USB-C stuff so it wouldn’t have given me any convenience. But overtime that’s changing.

Regarding the EU: I like Apple but they are stubborn as hell. For that reason alone I have a hard time seeing them doing it. They could start making two options, one USB-C and one lightning, but that doesn’t sound like Apple either.

Portless would certainly be a solution, but I have a hard time seeing that either. Wireless charging is just too slow.

I really don’t know what’s gonna happen on that one.
