Again, nothing I'm saying is "absolutely untrue" in any objective sense; you're saying you disagree with it sure, but it's not objectively false.

You claim "most people support" a bunch of things here, but how do you know? A poll conducted on one specific issue, without discussing tradeoffs? "If you could snap your fingers and get this for free with zero downside?" style polling options? They're not realistic and don't give people any stake, which means people will answer in ways they wouldn't otherwise if actually given the choice (and all its downsides).

These things you list aren't US policy because people don't actually want those things to be US policy. They trust their selected representative to dive into the details of those issues, and when those representatives do, those reps tend not to support them to the degree that you claim the people do.

You're upset your favorite things don't get the attention you want them to get, but that's the point; one person doesn't wholly determine anything in the US government. It's built to keep one group of people from crushing other groups of people, and it's working.
I thought as far as this type of thing goes I thought it was analytical and closely following the development of the artist. I would've never realized the flag structure inherent in this final painting by myself!
The Obscenity List
Ask HN: Any experienced engineers took a lower position as a “vacation”?
Have any experienced (10+ years) engineers gone down to say working as a mid-level engineer at a FAANG company just to keep getting paid but work at a lower responsibility, as a 1-2 year break?

Was it beneficial? Was it just tedious? Did it hurt your career?

Figured I'd ask as I can't be the only person who thought of this as a way to still earn but handle the burnout from working a tough engineering job.
What's their incentive to do that when they could come in with a different lock-in now that it's been proven to be profitable to do so by JD?

> I can't see the brand loyalty to Deere lasting too much longer

Here's an anecdote: if I go into Fleet Farm or Tractor Supply (farm supply stores), I see John Deere toy tractors, in fact my son has one: they're very well built. I don't think I've ever seen any other brand of toy tractor. That alone says a lot.

This is conflating "Browser Chrome/UI" and "Browser Rendering Engine", from a developers/business (and a web standards) perspective the rendering engine is what matters. From that perspective all bowsers "engines" on iOS are Safari/Webkit.
So is it possible that autism might be more than one disease? Instead of a spectrum, in the future do you think that one or more of these subgroups would be broken out into newly classified diseases?

For instance a significant subgroup has sleep issues and elevated levels extra-axial CSF. Another had significant GI problems. Does it seem like those subgroups may have autism from different causes, and maybe different diseases?
I think the point is that rapid tests are performing significantly worse now on Omicron than they were for prior variants.
(even if it can still be abused by bad-faith players)
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't consider someone who washes/details cars as having a "skilled" labor job. Every job requires training, but I can give someone a checklist and one day of training and set them free after that.

I agree that detailing supercars is a different league.
QFile for Qnap NAS.

Synology has DS file or the newer Synology Photos for that.

Emmer Legislation to Prevent Unilateral Fed Control of a U.S. Digital Currency
From a previous posting here in HN code2flow

A friend of mine sent me this a while back which is kinda related

Instead of building another shared-editing solution specialized for Matrix, there could be an API that can be used to store and distribute real-time updates efficiently (probably in the Matrix DAG).

The matrix-crdt works really well. To reduce overloading the Matrix server with many small messages (each single keystroke produces an update message), it stores merged updates in the DAG after a short debounce. The optional WebRTC extension allows you to distribute messages immediately "of the chain", so you don't notice the debounce.

After a time the message-log gets pretty huge. So in matrix-crdt, a random client will eventually store a "snapshots" of the current state in the DAG and removes old entries. This way, new clients don't need to download the huge message-log.

It would be nice if there was a possibility to create a server-component that does the merging.

(Btw, all credit to the above approach goes to Yousef)

Now, there might be a better solution to store CRDT data in the Matrix DAG - the developers probably know best and might be able to expose some hidden API that would make everything even more efficient.

I'm just asking that instead of creating yet another CRDT and integrating it into Matrix, open up this space, provide better APIs, and let others integrate their CRDTs.

> Would it be able to abstract any of the underlying CRDT logic?

Modern shared-editing frameworks don't require you to think about internal logic. They just set some requirements on the ordering of update messages. CRDTs in particular don't care in which order you transmit data, which makes them a very interesting choice in practice.
Please do! I love the exploration here. I think the interplay of offline-online is, generally, woefully underserved.

I resisted the temptation to mention it earlier but I feel I must (if nothing else, to help with your continued exploration... and generosity of sharing your thoughts!), as it relates to this notion directly: it is, indeed, this interplay that underlies our team's product. Or, more broadly: a desire to get us (and others) back to the real world. I'm not saying that digital tools aren't useful, I'm saying that they should play a role, not all roles.

More than that: I think digital tools should carry more weight than they currently do. I'm shocked at how many latest-and-greatest tools promise me the moon if I only change all of my habits. Why can't the tool adapt to me? It's all our fault, of course, we've let this happen (both as creators and consumers).

So, with that, the next time you use your whiteboard, consider testing out our app^. Hopefully, you'll see some examples of the above motivations in action; and, if you're interested, I'll be happy to share our future plans.

^ https://sharetheboard.com -- use the free trial (not the "Tester/Free" version)

To be clear: my goal here is to facilitate your exploration. If using our app gets in the way of that (or your continued feedback), please disregard. I hope you share your reflections from your next whiteboard session either way!
I would be very happy with a third option. As an iPhone user, I really am unhappy with iOS, but any time I even briefly entertain the idea of switching to Android, I laugh at the idea. Both options are bad, and I'm stuck with the lesser of two evils.

Holy crap. I wish I knew more people to share it with.
My car does this. Unfortunately, it's a Honda/Acura, and there's a downstream bug in the way the receiver sends the info to the clock display that this year, almost all older Hondas/Acura's are reporting the wrong time:

https://didhondafixtheclocks.com/

> Honda’s head unit receives a GPS signal for date and time including a number representing a week, coded in binary. These digits count from 0-1024 and rollover to 0 after the completion of week 1024. Honda’s head unit supplier did not code their head units to account for the rollover and, on January 1, 2022, reverted to a date and time 1024 weeks in the past [1024/52 = 19.7, so 20 years in the past or 2002]

So despite all the almost-magic level of engineering that has gone into the GPS system that has stayed consistent for 40-some-odd years, a classic integer overflow has ruined it all because some subcomponent test engineer didn't think to check the inputs against the expected lifetime duration of the car's equipment.

Another fun issue with these is DST databases. The satellites will tell you the time, but it's up to you know how your location translates into a DST zone. And if you have long-running offline equipment (say, a car), and the DST dates change, well, your smarts are only as smart as the update procedure.

I agree. Qfile also has its limits. My wife has a gazillion pictures so it regularey locks up.
While I agree that using card with computer is usually quite a bit annoying, but misplacing the card is not so big deal. A quick replacement card can be issued in less than an hour but it is not a "physical ID" (no photo), only electronic. It costs a bit more than normal eID card and it has shorter validity period. This can be active in parallel with the full eID card.

I personally rarely use ID card electronically, but I use mobile ID (phone sim application) instead which is much more convenient. Unfortunately this is phased out in this year and I haven't seen any full replacement for it so far.
Which is why I said "it's an entirely different game"! :D

It has little to do with DD or BD, but it's still a very fun game.
yea, visibly it looks like its starting from the head, and probably the smell comes from there as well, and of course thats where insects can start eating first (eyes, mouth etc)

it is funny though, i have used this proverb hundreds of times, until today i decided to think a bit about it, and look up how bodies decompose.

i wonder if in those big companies actually the leadership takes all the fault, maybe like in 1984, the real power is in the proles, they can change everything if they want.. they just dont seem to want change.
Ask HN: What to do with my AWS Certification?
Hi HN,

What can I do with my AWS certification? I know I could consult with companies but is there anything more interesting I could build for the world to use?

I’m thinking that a jobs board just for ppl with certifications could be useful.

Edit - fixed typos
You figure that an app-driven world (payments, communicating with your family), athletes need some device. Home countries should just provide clean devices like they would do for any diplomatic mission, and retrieve and analyze them upon return. Wealthy and sophisticated countries like Canada, US, Western Europe ought to be able to do this. Though, getting the athletes to not smuggle in their own security holes is probably not possible.
Also, web browsers from that era were very insecure. The “You Are an Idiot” Trojan was from that era.

Web browsers with the same featureset, but developed to modern security standards, would be nigh impregnable. Unfortunately, the market has a certain level of tolerance for holes, and that tolerance level isn’t zero, so the extra “budget” gained by sandboxing, fuzzing, ASLR, and safe C++ practices, gets invested into new features instead of left on the table.
Unfortunately for them they sold out their student voters in order to do that, all but guaranteeing that those people would not trust the LibDems again.

Was it a good trade in hindsight? I'm not so sure. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and my vote, a couple more times.

Show HN: Stop Putting AWS Credentials in GitHub Secrets
Greetings!

I've created a GitHub action that works that allows GitHub Actions to exchange a GitHub token for AWS Access Credentials.

I've cultivated a few examples of it in action:

https://github.com/saml-to/aws-assume-role-action-examples

I've always found management of AWS Credentials has been a pain. So this setting up this Action works like this:

1) A SAML Identity Provider is created in AWS

2) A Role in AWS is set up to trust that Identity Provider

3) A config file is added to the repository indicating which role can be assumed

4) The GitHub Action exchanges the Repo Secret for AWS Credentials using the SAML.to backend for the exchange

Let me know what you think! I'm Happy to take questions and comments here or on Gitter:

Not for a very long time, look up strict mode.
This is extremely cynical - do you find all abstract art to be unimpressive?
This was a problem that hit the first solar adopters. Their break-even was so far in the future because the technology really ramped up later. Of course, one could argue perhaps that wouldn't have happened without the adoption. And perhaps argue against that again that it was gov subsidies that really pushed solar to primetime.
I would imagine it's regulatory capture by accident - Chrome constantly gets requests from developers (which includes big corporations) to add features, so I imagine saying 'no' requires a lot of user research to back up why users/developers actually don't want a feature.
Yep, you could indeed use a partial index with the two relevant conditions to solve this query well. We're using those all over the place as well.
Only to federate between servers, and none of those operations are exposed to clients, as far as I know. If everything is happening on the same server, it's basically just an event stream.

That said, using this to stream CRDTs, and THEN federating those streams between servers would be pretty wild.
If you install it yourself then presumably Dell is not responsible for any compatibility/quality issues.
Medium even supports mirror your posts with the canonical URL pointing to the original. This means that any discovery on medium should help your SEO. I don't mind being on medium, but I want to have a canonical own that I own and that medium-haters can use.

Personally I have a static site, and when I make a new post it automatically goes out to Mastodon and Medium as well as a couple of "RSS aggregators" (like https://diff.blog/), as well as a dedicated subreddit as my "comments section". Then depending on the content I will often publish to dev.to (which automatically imports from RSS so it is mostly deleting the <style> block that it doesn't understand and hitting publish) and maybe Hacker News or Lobste.rs (although that is basically never, I generally prefer for others to share if they like the post).

But that is my over-complicated setup. At the end of the day I think what matters is own your content. Ideally with a feed on a domain that you control then spread elsewhere as it makes sense.
Need to tackle corruption before we can solve any of those.

If you finance a vehicle that is probably the case, as the financier/lien holder will impose these requirements when you sign to buy the car. If you own it outright (paid in full) then how would they stop you? Of course you shouldn't drive it on public road without insurance, but no one should care if you call a tow truck to take it to your private property.

A dealership tried to do this to me when I bought a truck with cash, and I told them [politely] to get fucked (I had insurance but no proof on me as I bought it over phone). Then they finally admitted since I owned the truck outright they wouldn't stop me.

> You can't test drive it without a driving license too.

When you're test driving you haven't bought the car. The dealership can refuse to let you drive their car for pretty much any non-protected reason.

Aphantasia. I don't do "visual"

I have an odd form though, I do maps of relationships - including obligations and expected deliveries. Works largely for people and places too. And yeah, including likelihoods of delivery or accuracy of result.

So I have a default rule of "always check inputs".
One can always take a section of the map and - like algebra - substitute a variable for a block, and keep that separate to keep problems more manageable.

When I'm reading code, I'm building a map in my head of how it does things.

I'm not very effective at communicating such maps, so I have difficulty writing or speaking some of the time, but it's no barrier with programming.
This sounds like (at least a big step towards) distributed event sourcing which is something that I have been anticipating for a while now but haven't heard any news of.
So it would be like domestic law enforcement (the FBI? state patrol?) using NSA-developed spyware, secretly, without court orders, against US citizens, including protestors.

Whether this should surprise you I guess depends on your worldview; whether it should alarm or disturb you, especially if you are an Israeli or in Israel, I guess depends on your view of individual rights and the police.

Mental conditions can have a lot of symptom overlap, which is why if you have a suspicion, you should get assessed by a neuropsychologist, and not the simple kind of 30 minute self done questionnaire type, but a proper 1 to 3 day assessment.

ADHD, Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder all have overlapping symptomology, and sometimes people can have all 3. You might not have autism, but you have might sensory processing disorder and adhd which can still effect your ability to socialize and make friends for example, which might make you think you have autism when you dont. Also if you dig into the DSM, you'll see that things like ADHD have subtypes too. If you suspect it, you should check it!

I'm not going to debate you on the importance of being careful with preorders, especially outside of Steam, but this is the case as it stands right now.

I do however remember reading something like your scenario a long while ago, perhaps even so far back as to the beginning of Steam Refunds.

Thanks for responding. I thought it was a offbeat idea of mine, but now I'm going to research it.
> General curiosity and interest in areas outside their field of specialty. This might not be strictly necessary to get a job done, but it probably has some correlation with other measures of technical aptitude that are hard to probe directly.

I think this is a bit misguided, since the scope of things outside of a candidate's field of specialty is tremendously large. Picking a random piece of tech within that space and drilling the candidate about it seems rather unfair.

A better way to handle this would be to actually ask the candidate about what else interests them outside of their specialty. But hey, maybe that doesn't stroke the interviewer's ego enough (:

In my personal opinion the modification is insubstantial so for copyright purposes you haven't created a derivative work. There are probably ways you could make it substantial but how would the rights holders ever know. It might technically be a tort but there's no damage; what would a rights holder win?
Yeah, I suppose it’s like “you are a human standing on a flat plain looking at these 3 landmark towers. Where on the map are you?

Intuitively you would be able to eyeball the angles between the landmarks, and eyeball the relative distances. I don’t think I’d draw a circle though. I’d probably have way less confidence for the landmark farther away and balloon out my estimate.
This was mandated by the federal government less than a week ago. My health insurer sent me an email:

"Following guidance from the Biden administration, Kaiser Permanente will now reimburse members for FDA-approved rapid antigen home tests. Submit a reimbursement claim here for tests purchased on or after January 15, 2022"

Yes, there are other ways to get tests. But, lately, booking a drive-through or walk-up test (via Kaiser or one of the 'community sites') is more challenging now than it was in December. You may have to book more than 3 days in advance.

Ignore Angry Drivers

That would not be your only issue. I am not a lawyer but in most of the United States there are laws regarding going under the speed limit as well. In most states hazard lights are required at more than 10 mph below the speed limit and one must pull over to let people pass when there are 5 or more cars behind them. The specifics vary from state to state. The ticket for not obeying this is in most cases a moving violation and that can affect your insurance rates and potentially your license. People should read up on the vehicle codes for their state.

The explanation doesn't make sense. Of course the HTML code of a web site should be copyrighted.

The issue is whether this implies it should be consumed in a certain way (ie rendered by a certain browser), which obviously should be a no. And the other issue is whether a plugin or "browser" that modifies it (in the client) should be considered to be publishing a modified version. That should obviously also be a no.

From the article it is not clear if any of those concerns have even been addressed properly.
