The Houthis improvise with existing technology but don't have any real manufacturing capacity. Restrictions on the underlying drone tech would be effective for now.

Longer-term, as the technology becomes easier to DIY... if it became unavoidable, it would not be fun, but I am confident the right coalition of the willing could align the Houthis with international weaponry guidelines.
That software is never claimed to be free software, and explicitly disclaims being Open Source.
Hahaha perfection. I love you.
Not zero, but so incredibly low as not to be matter for concern in terms of risk assessment. One of the few upsides of this pandemic is that young children are the least affected, and with vaccines available for ages 5 and up this risk is well mitigated for older children (teens in particular).
MIT license does not disallow monetization or rev share. It does allow you to fork this plugin and remove the code responsible for rev share, etc. This is all above board.
Answered how? Each one of those were debated and we have agreed on some of these rules. I don’t think the debate for vaccine mandates has been settled though, much as some would like to see any discussion of it quelled.
Pretty sure prohibition wasn't executive action. But I could be getting my history on the 18th and 19th constitutional amendment wrong.
Not strictly true in this case. Apple added a lot of additional functionality to the airpod pros over time. The tuning is hidden under the accessibility settings, but it’s there.
Yeah this whole thing is extremely frustrating to me, it's simply ignoring reality. I would love to not care about other peoples choices, but I can't do that when I have family members who had surgery delayed because of COVID cases taking over hospitals.
To the contrary, #3 includes everyone receiving a booster, because immune system suppression/DoS immediately after a vaccine makes it the period of highest risk for both infection (from Covid or anything else) and vaccine injury. If we don't have separate reporting for #3, those negative effects will be attributed to #4. How many people know they should minimize physical exertion and crowds for 14 days post-vax?
That really doesn't seem to be what I'm seeing, having built a search engine specialized in this type of content and finding almost nothing but gems in the refuse.

If anything, it seems like the single best predictor of whether a website is a content mill is strict adherence to modern web standards and other "google rules".

>A lot of brewers will admit that if your beer doesn't turnout the way you want you a trick is tossing in a ton of hops and making it an IPA. Once you get used to doing that you become a brewery that only makes IPA.

Larger craft breweries really don't have this luxury. They need to have both a means of production laser focused quality and process oriented folks AND a place for rapid research and development.

What is ironic is when a craft brewery starts reaching size where they can afford these types of benefits they are often demonized for various reasons all having to do with the Brand.
And to add to this, i learned to not use the 'bluetooth' icon to manage the AirPods, instead use the 'triangle with broadcast signal'-icon found next to the volume in the control centre or on many other different locations on your ipad, iphone or apple tv.

Just turn off the auto-connect feature and start using that icon, all the mentioned 'annoyances' will go away :)
that the price hasn't increased over time to keep up with inflation really means this is just fixing what should have been done for years

when prices are held artificially-low, eventually they'll jump by more than a "nominal" amount

had this price increase been, say, 1-2EUR/mo/yr, OP never would've complained

but because he was locked-in at a rate the provider couldn't maintain, he's mad

so, yes: when food prices go up, I keep buying it
Ironically, they failed to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
What's a headphone jack?
I have the Galaxy Buds as well as the 2nd Gen AirPods. I cannot get the Buds to stay in my ears with any regularity because all of the weight of the Buds, is out at the end that is not in your ear. The AirPods have all of their mass inside of your ear and stay put.
I don't think that is necessarily true - people reject potentially lifesaving treatments all the time for many different reasons. Yes, the desire to live is very strong in us, but it's not infinite.

Of note is the disastrous synthetic heart in the 90’s. I was surprised that such a thing was attempted.
> I don't think most here understand just how much "this class of people" value freedom over safety.

No, the problem is that we do, and also see the selfishness of the position with regards to highly communicable diseases. "My body, my choice" is a fantastic principle when the outcome of the choice has negligible impact on people breathing the same air. Many of these same folks would raise a stir if their neighbor started throwing their trash over the fence. In my mind there is no distinction. Their choice to not be vaccinated or wear masks results in people we love dying. It's not their individual freedom that is the risk. Their choice threatens our collective freedoms to life and liberty which we individually enjoy.
If those features are supplied by libraries outside the core language, I don't think I'd count them.

I use Clojure a fair bit, and that has a miniKanren implementation in the form of core.logic. Would I say that makes Clojure a relational programming language? No, I don't think so, because it's not part of the core language.

Similarly, there exists an optional static typing library for Clojure called core.typed - does that make Clojure a statically typed language? Again, I don't believe so.

You can build a library to implement any feature, particularly in Lisps or other languages with support for AST transformations. Those features may even be counter to the core design of the language - you could write a library in Haskell to support dynamically typed, imperative programming, for example.

Reminder to Silicon Valley: there’s an even chance that many governments in the world will be run by authoritarian movements in the future. Your window to deploy surveillance-resistant systems is running out.
Stocks is where people park their money when bonds yield nothing and future expected value of money is decreasing.

When the fed keeps a near zero interest rate, people have lower monthly mortgage payments, and can thus take on more debt. When they have the ability to take on more debt, they can bid higher on housing prices.

When the fed injects trillions of dollars into the economy in the form of stimulus and quantitative easing, there is a surplus of money that makes it way throughout the economy, and this attributes to inflation.

It's called a debt crisis leading to hyperinflation and economic collapse. It may not be happening now, and maybe not even in our lifetime, but it is inevitable based on the current model of monetary policy. And when the USD/US economy collapses, it will be the biggest one in history.
Right but, did you spot that in your answer you allowed for a situation where there isn't actually that gap of air at all, just because it felt intuitively reasonable to do so?

There is no "air gap" in your sense between say a Sega Megadrive and Google's servers, they're both wired to the electrical grid. But you (not unreasonably) disregard that. In contrast there is technically such a gap between my laptop and Google's servers, because it's running on a battery - however thanks to WiFi it certainly isn't "air-gapped" in the sense we usually mean.

Security Keys are indeed often electrically connected (via a USB port) but the design insulates this from the key management problem so in effect they are air-gapped. Any attack that crosses that gap might equally have worked by shining a laser at it through a window, or holding an electromagnet near it.
yes, i consider this a conceptual design flaw in unix. effectively i think a better way to do this would be if the move or copy operation onto an existing file would move/copy the content of that file onto the target inode. there could be a seperate rename operation which keeps the current behavior

fortunately in my case this issue is not a problem. i use hardlinks mainly for pictures where i never want to replace the original anyways, so editing always gets me a copy which i don't need to link to multiple places.
What's aggravating is all the "feel good" policies that fly in the face of the current state of the pandemic. We have gotten to the point where numerous officials have said something along the lines of "vaccines won't protect you against getting Omicron, masks don't really do anything either".

So you think. Ok, we have gotten to the point where these measures are ineffective, so lets do away with the measures. And that is precisely where you bump up against these "feel good" policies.

We know masks don't really work, but lets keep mandating them because they give us the sense of security that they are doing something. We know vaccines don't prevent you from getting or spreading Covid but we feel like it does something, so mandate it anyways.

I'm afraid that we are moving from "we need mandates to keep people safe" to "we need mandates to keep people feeling safe". In 20 years we're all still going to be wearing masks at the airport because "it makes people feel safer".
I honestly don't think deploying surveillance resistant systems now will help against an authoritarian government.

Imagine if WhatsApp, Messenger, and Apple Messages were all fully end-to-end encrypted.

An authoritarian government comes in and demands that Facebook/Meta and Apple release a new version that is either not end-to-end encrypted or somehow allows the government to be able to see the messages.

Do you really think they will resist? Do you see Tim Cook or Mark Zuckerberg willing to have all their wealth confiscated and spend the rest of their life in prison on the charges of assisting terrorism (remember, we are talking about an authoritarian government. Remember also what happened to the Russian oligarchs to defied Putin, and the Jack Ma in China)?

So Facebook and Apple release the new version, and disallow using the old version (users get a popup saying they need to upgrade their app).

Do you really think any significant portion of users will not "upgrade" their apps to the less secure version and lose out on all their existing chat history and networks?

The people that would be aware of this and resist this, are likely using apps like Signal, Matrix, etc (apps that prize security over engagement and that have not come from the Silicon Valley tech giants).
Clearly, no one at Apple considered cold weather when designing the pinch based Airpod Pro interface. Just about impossible with gloves.

Well hope you don't need to be hospitalized for any other reason then because the beds might be full, there probably won't be enough providers because of burn out, and costs will be going up. We are nearing a collapse of our medical system in a way that people don't seem to be recognizing or doing anything about.

There's a lot of talk of antibodies because researchers studying vaccine effectiveness prior to everyone being exposed need something to measure.

It's hard to measure the overall effectiveness of a person's immune response, so they measure antibodies, which are not the whole story. It might not even be the important part. I think this is why GP is derisive of serology.

The immune system is quite complicated.

Personally I suspect that advising people who had breakthrough infections to keep getting boosters will turn out to be bad advice. We'll see I guess.
Ok, that’s different from the definition you just provided but in any event it’s still a very small proportion of the population
Show HN: Drumcircle – Personalized candidate landing pages for better interviews
I spent the last 4 years as an engineering leader at a high growth startup, where almost half my time focused on hiring and the hiring process to grow the team.

That lead me to build Drumcircle to try and help bring better candidate experience through a "magic link" landing page for candidates. Internally, you might have Greenhouse with all the stages, interview notes, files, invites, etc but the candidate and recruiter still coordinate everything via email tag.

I wanted to create a simpler and more transparent experience for the candidate while also minimizing the effort for recruiters.
Make people who go to work have to share their income with those who don't want to work.
If I had to place a bet - my money would be on your theory. I've noticed the exact same thing, which makes it even worse as I then have to pull up the app drawer and go back to my player app. At least it never gets totally kicked out in that the state is preserved/not reloading like a fresh open.

I guess my question from there would be why does the device suddenly feel the need to release resources when the music/podcast pauses? I'm experiencing it on an iPhone 13 Pro which should have no shortage.

If it was a once in a blue moon thing I would brush it off as just unlucky timing, but it happens very regularly.
Who cares? If you don't take computer security seriously, you won't be computing much longer. Before it's over with, mine will be the only opinion still in existence. It's called "natural selection."
Did you know that the first release of Rails was actually closer to when the Pyramids were first built than they were to us today?
Doesn't it still make the noise when you use the onscreen switch?

Either way it's horrible, all of these noises seem to be at a fixed or separate volume level than the media volume (which actually is common for apple). Siri used to have a separate volume than media (still might?), and then you also have ringtone volume, and sound in settings barely even hints that all these separate volumes exist.
We are long beyond that point, sadly. We are right now in the process of

a) becoming legally required to own and carry a particular kind of device and

b) being legally unable to fully control said device and

c) having that device explicitly working (again by legal requirement) against our own interests

It will be interesting to watch how things will progress and whether governments or corporations will be the ones holding control over the devices.

It will also be interesting to see how the mandatory usage and mandatory anti-user-services will be implemented in detail.

I guess that mandatory usage will be a race between mobile payment and government services like eID and eLicense. Anti-user-services will take some time to be fully developed, but I guess the first thing will be content scanning in messenger apps, closely followed by a list of illegal words or names.
Not obviously. If true, adds credibility.

"Phone Fixer" sounds more scammy to me, lol
why is the assumption a ddos (external?) as opposed to some internal cause such as incompetence or power loss
Yes the old, decentralized web is disappearing and being replaced by centralized big tech. I remember when google search came out and it was amazing. Now it restricts anything "not approved". personal websites, geocities, angelfire, myspace. then blogs and facebook appeared for people to put their content there. Then reddit came and ate the forums. reddit never used to show up in search results but many helpful forums would. Now it is the opposite. Then google ate up the bloggers. The entire point is to direct content to these big tech approved sites. Try wiby.me to find some of the old sites. There is also a movement to decentralize. Take your stuff off github, off reddit, off facebook, and onto your own site. Form webrings like the good old days.

> Legal processes are enormous wastes of human energy on what are usually negative-sum games

I don’t know if this is true. Private legal disputes can be purely antagonistic.

They can also be a form of short-term adversarial long-term adaptation to new information. Court cases, on the other hand, produce precedent (irrespective of the legal system). That, too, helps guide a society through novel circumstances.
Hi HN, Andrew here, would love any feedback, whether its on the hiring/recruiting side or from the candidate perspective.

Zyppy's content marketing efforts aside, this wouldn't be so much of an issue if Google was any good at it

But as with its meta description rewrites, they're often worse than what was there to start with, and in some cases completely change the meaning, to the detriment of searcher experience

Are you sure that it's a lack of entitlement causing this, and not - maybe - threat of "disappearance" or death for speaking out? The Tiananmen Square massacre was not that long ago, and many understand the repercussions of dissent in no uncertain terms.

These days you have to add ‘eligible for booster and chose not to get it’, ‘got booster shot’ and ‘not eligible yet for booster shot’.

In the Netherlands we started the booster campaign on November 18, but we get graphs claiming ‘hardly any people with boosters in hospital!’ with the data including hospitalizations from November 19 onwards.

> Then the medicine would need to be 100x [300x-400x] more expensive than the vaccine

I'm not suggesting this is true, but it would need to be 100x-400x more profitable, and that includes cost to make and store as well as the price is charged.

Maybe making mRNA vaccines costs much more than a simpler molecule like Paxlovid [0], and hospitals generally seem to charge much more than the over the counter price for everything. You've seen horror stories about $25 aspirin [1] which is easily 400x more expensive than the penny per pill cost of 500 tablets in a $5 bottle [2].

Are you equally critical of the obese? Or those who ride motorcycles on the highway?

As someone who is vaxxed, I struggle to see how the harm done by the unvaccinated is categorically worse than the risks taken by others at society's expense. I imagine you have none of the disdain for motorcycle riders that you do for the unvaccinated.

Edit: For those replying to my comment, please note the comment I replied to listed the cost of hospitalization and the crowding out of ICU beds for others as costs society has to bear; if you are crowded out of an ICU bed, whether it be from someone who is unvaccinated or someone who is obese, you are dead nonetheless.
It routes around failures, the timelines for delivery are not promised though.

If you’re interested in some deep academic thought on the topic of AI in warfare, I highly recommend Berkeley’s Stuart Russell’s two-part lecture on the topic, which you can find on the CBC Radio program, Ideas:

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/quit-using-the-terminator-as-...

"This Terminator picture is wrong for so many reasons. First of all, the Terminators fire a lot of bullets that miss their targets. Why do they do that? Secondly, it makes people think that autonomous weapons are science fiction. They are not. You can buy them today," Russell explained.

"Third, it makes people think that the problem is SkyNet, the global software system that controls the Terminators. It becomes conscious, it hates humans, and it tries to kill us all."

Out of ear detection is my biggest gripe. If I take them out quick and place them on a table because I don’t have the case handy, they try to reconnect when I’m receiving a call or using audio in any way without them.

I also noticed the membrane sounds like it’s getting blown out when they attempt to deal with loud noises in the environment.

Astronomers discover mysterious pulsing object that may be new class of star
Some macro systems can create variables in a loop for you. You could make this macro,

(define-all i 5 0)
;; creates i1 i2 i3 i4 i5 initialized to 0

That's somewhat impossible with functions. The closest you get is either an array/dict with only runtime error checking, or an external codegen program.

I wrote a post [0] about how to do this in Racket. The macro generates ORM code based given a SQLite DB. Aka the compiler queries SQLite and generates table-column functions automatically.

More potential benefits are: Better static error messages (can implement a type system using macros, example here[1]), and controlling execution order (can add lazy computation semantics).

That’s a good point. I am also a strong believer in the maxim: “Landlords are greedy”. So in that sense the dramatic rent hike can partially be attributed to inflation, but also due to the simple fact that they can.
