No, no, no, no, no.

Stretch the oil change intervals a little if you have to, but you need to check the oil on a regular basis.

The oil level and quality are critical to the life of the engine. By the time the oil pressure warning light comes on, you may already have irreparable damage to the main bearings.
How can it make out galaxies at billions of light years away, but not a truck sized craft at a few million miles?

Reflections on the Supreme Court oral arguments in the OSHA vaccine mandate case
If you control for population density and age then yes, death rates are higher in places with lower vaccination rates (which I presume qualifies as a form of not caring).
Everyone in June 2020 was too busy assuming the best case scenario to plan for disruption. I never really understood the human capacity for self-delusion until 2020. I knew we’d have two years of lockdowns in February 2020, unless we lucked into a drug that treated it (despite not having a drug for SARS-CoV-1). Even the logistics for distributing a vaccine is hard, and takes months to set up. I have no idea how people can ignore evidence they dislike so easily.
Cinematographers almost always want part of the image blurred - an entire image in sharp focus would make it difficult to perceive depth and would take away the ability to direct the gaze of the audience.
I keep coming back to the https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19023885 issue. There’s a default setting somewhere that makes systemd knowingly kill normal user processes it did not start. Why does that exist? It was never init’s job, and init is not something end users should have to be aware of to run stuff with POSIX nohup.
Considering Peter Thiel is on the list [1] of most hated person on HN and Silicon Valley, I am kinda surprised this reached front page.

It matters enough that "over ten years" of fuel left (as we supposedly have now) is a really great outcome, as opposed to just five we might have form. Scott Manley on YouTube has a pretty good video on Lagrange points (and it's a topic where the video medium is actually pretty helpful).

> High humidity is known to affect things such as ink drying time which can affect print quality

Sure, but I would assume that the US is a single region for the printer cartridge DRM's purposes, but you can easily find both areas of rather high and rather low humidity in the US.

I don't think the parent you're replying to is saying that the idea that things perform differently in different climates is a stupid claim, but that it's essentially impossible that's the reason why HP region-locks their cartridges, and claiming such is indeed stupid. (Or just flat out rude and disrespectful of the support person.)

It's a variant of appeal-to-authority. Basically, he's saying "I'm smart, so I shouldn't be held accountable".
The old saying was you buy the lenses, rent the camera. It's even more applicable today. Camera bodies change almost annually, but the lenses can carry over from body to body.

However, in feature film work, some lens collections can easily cost $250,000 for a set of 6 lenses (Leica Sumicron-C). Cooke lenses could reach $100k. So, not many people owned these either. You just rent. You then get to write all of it off as an expense on the budget of the production. Camera gear used to be so expensive that few owned.
Cheating as a Last Resort
A) On what basis do you claim that all public companies are not ethical? (You said "any", but by definition that means "all".)

B) By that logic, isn't all money tainted? And everyone of us? And every thing?

This is the starting point of every person's decisions regarding being ethical.

How far back do you need to "follow the money" before you consider it "ethical"?

That is up to every person. Theil has actively engaged in dubious ethics, I won't belabor them again. With him it is one hop to "dubious", compared to other organizations where you have to make several graph node hops to get to something dubius. This is a personal choice and everyone has to do their own research if they care about it.

That's because in the US there were unlimited SMS plans. In other countries they used to charge per message.
You have pretty much summarise the current political climate on HN and Twitter. Probably Silicon Valley too although I have no way to judge.
The money was given out as a lump sum with I believe a 3-year deadline to use it or lose it. With those restrictions it pretty much had to be spent on capital-intensive projects that could be done in 3 years.

Athletic facilities fit that requirement very nicely and would be useful for quite a long time in the future.
Yup, It makes apple billions every year

Btw: check out sendblue.co
the much more insidious thing that I've repeatedly noticed and is not touched on in this article is that SMSes to and from iphone users, from my Android device, are completely dropped about 5% of the time. I don't know if it's a problem with the carriers or what, and I've always just assumed it's an edge case Apple doesn't care about or they'd fix it. The problem with randomly (and rarely) dropping text messages is that it can drastically alter a conversation or even make it seem to both parties like they're being ghosted.

They've recently legalized doing venture capital in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Boston and dozens of other cities (including those outside of the US too).
My FIL (a serious amateur photographer) regularly rents specialty lenses from http://lensrentals.com

They rent cameras too, not just lenses. The RED Raven model (one of the NetFlix approved models) rents for $490/week. That's just for the "body" (what RED calls the "brain"). A full kit with accessories is $850/week. Lenses are on top of that.
> Network configuration (on say, Debian) is still a pain

What specifically is a pain? Have you used it recently?

Maybe my end-user desktop network requirements aren't complex enough but it's been pretty damn smooth in my experience for the last few years. I used to avoid network-manager with wicd, but now it seems pretty stable. I use the network-manager and network-manager-gnome packages to get the toolbar thingy in i3wm, it's very simple to use. I also combine it with wiregaurd using the wg commands.

Are you doing something more sophisticated like routing traffic? or something else in a server context? I literally can't recall having a single networking issue that was Debian's fault over the last few years, throughout using lots of different APs.
Dumb question and I realize it may be. I've seen that said before, "Nearly everyone is going to catch omicron within the next 2 to 6 months"; the range changes both the quote is similar. I haven't really seen a why, it just seems to be a given. I know it's more virulent, but why is everyone going to have it so soon?
> Do studios and creators own these cameras or they usually rent?

Depends. Some of the gear mentioned on the Netflix page can be afforded even by ambitioned hobbyists, others - especially the lenses - are way too expensive for anyone sans big studios.

Major studios will have a selection of their own equipment, but rent from companies like ARRI (who, coincidentally or not, make their own cameras of which some are rent-only) for projects requiring more than that - or anything on location in foreign countries. It's easier to call up Arri and have them and their local offices deal with cameras, lighting equipment and the likes than to ship all that stuff around the world, deal with customs etc.

> Is there an aggregated marketplace where I could be able to put my camera for rent if I do eventually get one?

In Germany there's gearo, no idea about any other.

The advantage of L2 is that the sun and earth will always be in the same direction (more or less) so it's easy to cancel it out. I don't think there's an orbit that would stay in Earth's shadow constantly that would have the same properties (without needing a ton of fuel)
MMS (“green messages”) are mangled by most US carriers. The carrier will often recompress the media. And phones tend to send it at a lower quality to begin with.
Hyrum was a good friend of mine in grad school. We spent a lot of fun sessions defining stats and KPIs to monitor on SVN projects. It doesn't surprise me to see a law named for him. If he reads HN, hello old friend!
> “Omicron mortality is likely around 0.2%, roughly in line with seasonal flu."

Like Constable Bob, people underestimate influenza at their own peril.

More to the point, if the numbers indicate lethality comparable to a bad strain of influenza and transmissibility comparable to measles, we’re in a very bad situation.

Even before all the data is in, the number of hospitalizations we’re seeing alone signifies a bad situation.
> Distributed standards inherently become ossified and are unable to innovate.

I don't think it's as simple as that. When websites were proudly stating that they were "best viewed in Internet Explorer", there was very little innovation in the web platform, but then when Mozilla/Firefox and Chrome became popular, distributed innovation improved.

Things are a little more complicated now that Chrome has a dominant market share, but I'd argue that it is actually Safari (and Apple's monopoly control over it on the iPhone) that is most holding back the web now.

I’d use it as down payment on a duplex or quadplex in a midsized city and rent it out for investment income. Find a city you think is on the upswing & growing. Find a local realtor and tell them you’re looking for an investment property.

You don’t have to make a lot of money on it. Investment devaluation makes it tax neutral-ish.

yeah, that’s what ai fear the most about omicron: it’s established that the more people get infected by covid, the more it mutates. so given that omicron spreads the fastest, we will get lots of mutations and variants.

You have no evidence for your claims and are dishonestly representing them as proven fact. Don't lie.

All we know is that he was fired after posting something to internal social media (he claims the post was reviewed prior to posting by HR and the head of DEI) followed by an email complaint about being harassed.

There is no evidence that TR fired him because of the email complaint. If they did, they violated civil rights law because he was emailing to complain about discrimination against a protected class. This is called illegal retaliation.

And previous discussion is not a valid reason to flag a post. Don't compound your lies by abusing the HN flagging system.

This sort of behavior is dangerous to HN culture and richly deserving of being flagged.

Not sure I agree. What's another hacked-together shell script to a software engineer or system administrator? We've made servers manageable for ourselves, but rarely do we step outside of the bubble to ask how much of it is accidental complexity.

The networking layer isn't gonna change. That's given. Any change at the ISP level needs to be driven by policy decisions. But at the hardware/software-level? All of that is made up, and we could build much easier systems for network administration and app deployment.
As a Russian: lol sms. I can't remember the last time I actually sent an sms-type message to an actual human. We mostly use Telegram and VKontakte for messaging. Some weirdos also use WhatsApp. Every carrier has an unlimited sms option you can add to your plan though.
I don't know exactly, sorry. My Windows Phone had it. BlackBerry also had the feature, but people used BBM at the time anyway.
I don't think it has much to do with "learning." School is basically a babysitting / daycare service. They need the kids in school so the parents can work. At least the ones not privileged enough to "work from home" on a permanent basis, like many of us are here.

Remote work is often a joke, too. Many, many people are completely checked out, burnt out after having to endure too many mentally draining and often pointless zoom meetings. I know several folks planning to drop out of the work force for a while, when (if?) we return to a semblance of normality. That'll push salaries even higher for the ones who remain.

Drinking from the Fetid Well: Data Poisoning and Machine Learning
My teens use discord and instagram.
I think I'm in a unique position here to reply to this.

I run my own servers, and my wife is a professional makeup artist.

The amount of time, energy, and effort she puts into just ONE single Instagram post is more than I put into any of my servers.

It took both of us years of learning to do both these things we do, and honestly I get that you picked makeup as some kind of example because you think that makeup is easy or something.

But it's not.

Instagram, or YouTube takes a lot of skill, skills in recording video, camera, marketing, lighting, these aren't makeup skills, these are skills on top of makeup..

Then there's the outlay for recording and lighting equipment. Tripods to hold the camera, microphones for good audio.

If you don't have these things your video will look like crap and people will click off it.

Then there's the thumbnail! That's a whole thing on its own.

YouTube or Instagram is just as labour and startup cost intensive as running a server.

I'd even argue that servers are not as expensive. Have you seen how much money a good makeup kit costs? You can repurpose an old laptop or whatever as a server, or a raspberry pi... That's far cheaper than brushes for instance.

It's completely separate things. They think they've found a way to market 2-3 year old cars as new. It's a good idea, most cars lose a third to half of their value in the first two years. Anything they can eat out of that by changing the seat leather is pure profit
With enough biometrics it could estimate the remaining lifetime pretty well.

I think most people would prefer if all fossil fuel fuel sources could be replaced by sustainable non-polluting alternatives. How energy is produced and the sustainability of supply is of great importance to the miners.

> Can Bitcoin survive in an environment in which fossil fuels are banned, and in > which people also demand that energy remain affordable to them, even in that context?

Absolutely. As long as we can power a networked computer, there will be Bitcoin. I don't think the relationship to fossil fuels is any more than a second order component, and most people would rather see disappear now we have cleaner way to generate electricity.

I think a fair way to clean the energy supply is to get suppliers of non-clean energy sources pay a penalty for the production of that energy. This would apply to electricity and oil/gas like petroleum producers. That penalty rate can be adjusted based on environmental measurements like air quality figures in local areas of consumption. The penalty should be paid into a capital pool that loans money for clean infrastructure projects at a preferential rate. We then accelerate the decommissioning and aid in migration to clean energy infrastructure.

Bitcoin is PART of a sustainable energy future. It drives economic incentives and behavior, and can be harnessed to achieve a cleaner energy. Bitcoin can and does subsidize clean energy, independent of States.

My reaction as well. The exaggerated claims of Lisp programs being bug free and non-Lisp programmers being slaves/prisoners/drones etc. doesn’t give me confidence in anything the author claims. I know it is supposed to be funny, and I do enjoy the humour, but I would prefer some real life stories about how complicated problems were fixed in Lisp better than what I could have been done in other languages. Lisp has cool features, but that doesn’t necessarily result in better software being developed in Lisp. Certainly looking around there doesn’t seem to be a lot of successful software written in Lisp. The world runs on other languages.

> With CG NAT and often dynamic IP allocation by providers.

Which are both bad practices on the way out as IPv6 becomes the norm. (Static IP prefixes - to illustrate another PI aspect of this - also mean that ISPs don't have to keep IP logs, which for better or worse, laws require of them for potential future law enforcement purposes.)

And indeed, like other PI, their collection only becomes problematic when it's associated with other PI and/or is done on a massive enough scale (like this service is doing ?) - also remember how government databases are forbidden from merging for this very reason.

>And why wouldn't you compare it with the systems it actually competes against and replaces rather than against something that was barely used any more before systemd even stated development?

I would say that's a meaningless comparison and those other systems were never considered as real replacements. At that time I don't remember OpenRC getting any traction outside of Gentoo, and the distros using Upstart were already unhappy with it. Adding to that, systemd explicitly was targeting distros that used a lot of sysvinit scripts and was intended to be used as an upgrade for them. It's largely succeeded at that.
The color is there because a regular SMS may either take a significant amount of money per message or empty your free SMS plan. That depends on a carrier, but e.g. my SMS costs me 0.7¢ or so, iirc. And more if a message spans a very short character limit (160, or ~80 for unicode). That's what some people would like to pay attention to, because when there was no/bad internet (a regular issue back in the day) iMessage switched to SMS seamlessly.

Edit: or MMS, if that's enabled
I think it's more about the overall situation than just the physical structure. If you have a place you can legally stay indefinitely, and you have access to water/sewer/power, then I think a trailer could absolutely be considered a home.
