I don’t know about in London, but here in Canada a lot of businesses like grocery stores and movie theatres are realizing that charging stations are great for business.

If you have a car in the city, you probably only need to charge once a week depending on usage, is it really that outlandish to think that in an entire week you won’t take your car somewhere with a charger nearby? Besides that, you can slow charge off mains voltage using an extension cord in many cars.

We have wired every room in every building in every city across most of the globe to have electricity. I really don’t think it’s much of a stretch to run some extra wires to the curb as ecar adoption rises. The current system of moving billions of gallons of highly explosive liquids to custom built dispensing facilities placed every few kms on valuable real estate is far less practical when you think about it.
Besides the alleged plagiarism of Peikert, it seems massively immoral of Ding to lay a patent landmine in something important as secure communications for the next century.

At the same time, I wonder how much he asked for from Google and how open the algorithm would have been (/ if it could have been "bought out").
Well, true or not, at least I read something mind-bending today.
Using none currently, the following seems to be enough: containers for apps and KVM+vagrant on a laptop for experimenting.

However, for VM orchestration. OpenStack has been my choice for long time, but about to check KubeVirt and (old and underappreciated?) Apache CloudStack.
You might find some of the writings of Thomas Sowell interesting. He is definitely not (R) but he goes over some of the issues with progressive politics in trapping both poor black and white through oppressive policies like minimum wage and also by trapping them into dependence on the state through transfer payments.
My understanding is that it's more a way to sell a computer for people who don't want a bundled OS, but without it really having no OS. This way the new computer will at least start up to something instead of an error message that can potentially imply storage failure.

Edit: Especially since some of these purchasers are not technically-minded Linux users, who can handle a blank disk error, but people who want to use their (ahem) specially-aquired Windows licenses.

My current home computer is an HP EliteBook I custom ordered with FreeDOS to install Linux on. (Also got the matte touchscreen!)
What do you think is the causality?
Mine too but it’s not code related. I don’t think the programs do well at amazon
Why use configuration management over dockerfiles and images?
There might not be any underlying tech.
I have read a lot of things that suggest yes, but the nature of measurement (or lack of measurement) of things like infant trauma and subsequent effects seems to stymie any workable conclusions. Personally I received the operation long into adulthood, willingly-ish (most effective treatment for a physical issue I was experiencing) so I am familiar with what it's like to both have and not have the extra nerve clusters and skin. I am pleased with the outcome, but I would never suggest it to anybody else unless they made their own choice.
I too am not necessarily opposed to tenure, I was more remarking since the vampire management MBA class has inculcated themselves into "higher education" administration, they've gradually hollowed out the professorship class with adjuncts and the like.

Humanities aren't generally "revenue" departments in terms of grants, so I'd assume they'd go after those with the usual union busting techniques (since tenure is kind of a distributed union).

One trick corps did for unions was to have the established union workers "sell out" the incoming workers. So the old guard gets to keep sweet benefits, pay, seniority, while new hires did not. The people in charge of the unions and the existing base would drop that negotiation, but the management knew that attrition and age would phase out the union.

I'm pretty sure institutions are doing this by increasing adjunct percentages and the like. Meanwhile, the professors with tenure turn a blind eye and as long as they keep their position, who cares about anyone else.

Of course most of these people were... baby boomers.
In the Marxian revolution, the rentier wouldn't be in power. Representatives of the working class would be appointed to ensure that "democratic petty bourgeoisie" elected officials acted in the workers' best interest. If they did not... well, the workers would constitute an armed proletarian guard capable of implementing their demands by force if need be. Rentiers, if they be in power, would be driven out at gunpoint.

Nationalizing is only a part of this process; it's not the whole story. The idea is to centralize everything under government control while holding control of the government -- always advancing toward the goal of abolishing private property.
> Isn't that the whole point of NFT's?

Not if you ask the pro-NFT people, because if that's all it was, the pyramid scheme wouldn't be strong enough. But that is the only actual real use case that makes some sort of sense to me, any others I've heard typically have easier, better or cheaper ways to solve using "traditional" tech, or, in some cases, aren't actually solved by NFT's in any meaningful way (eg NFT's aren't actually decentralized if the asset they represent is held by some centralized party and the ownership they confer is meaningless in many cases, eg if you buy an NFT claiming you own part of mars or a tweet or something you don't actually have legal rights over).

NFT's as a token to brag about is fine, but very few "ordinary" people will actually make money on this, so I'd still advise to ignore them. Bragging rights also have a high potential to become another forgotten fad.

Well, there is one more use case: money laundering.

"They shouldn't be considered "part of" the userland; as this invites userland applications to rely on them."

Or should they? Windows applications rely on .net runtime that is part of the OS. For years now. It's one of the reasons why application development on Windows can be so laid back and stable.

I really, really don't understand why people in Unix-land feel the need to move fast and break things.
ID.me gets paid via taxpayer funds. Each taxpayer can't line-item-veto the spend. Treasury has the budget to spend. Treasury gets to tell Congress 'security, good'.

The spend cycle can slow if we radically reduce federal spending/income. Move truly necessary services to the States.

That won't happen, so opt out. Structure your life to avoid qualifying as a person who files a return.
When I read the privacy policy for the Samsung keyboard pre-installed on my phone and started following the links I was shocked that it was a literal keylogger sending every key press to 3rd parties who said they would use it read every word and phrase I typed to try to guess what my interests were, who I was communicating with, and what my level of cognitive ability/education was! I'd had no idea. Replaced my keyboard immediately.

If an app logged your keystrokes and sent that data to some poor guy in a 3rd world country though Google would shut them down. Samsung is still allowed to host apps on the play store though. In both cases the data being collected will be leveraged against you. Google just doesn't care about malware if the developer is rich enough.
I also remember PC-DOS and Dr-DOS if I'm not mistaken. I wonder what has happened with them.
Something is off, it didn't quite look like this.

The bridge was listed as in "poor" (the worst of 3 possible conditions) and in need of immediate structural repair since 2011. There are pictures of rusted-through members, like this one[1] from 2018 where a diagonal member has been replaced with a cable and some prayer that it doesn't end up in compression. Google Street view shows the west side missing lower diagonal bracing[2] compared to the east side. The bridge was scheduled for fracture-critical and special inspections every 12 months. All 4 steel columns were at condition state 4 (poor condition, higher numbers are better condition).[3]

We know why it collapsed, in general terms: it wasn't repaired for years. We don't know the exact trigger, there are so many bits that could have broken first it's hard to tell. It's quite possible the snow load, bus, and other vehicles were simply enough to overload it, since it had been derated from 67.5 tons down to 33 tons (26 tons on the sign in street view though). Those articulated buses used by PA DOT range from 19.5 to 22.5 tons curb weight, so the bus + snow load + 4 (or maybe more) other vehicles could easily have exceeded 26 tons.

Sorry, I thought you were asking about a home broadband connection with the typical basic router supplied by the ISP.

The UDB Pro looks like something for a small/medium business, so you presumably have a business connection. You'd need to ask your ISP for the configuration, as it will depend on what service they're providing. (Just like for IPv4 you'd need configuration if the ISP is providing you with 4, 16, 32, ... IPv4 addresses -- also a common situation.)

If ifconfig is showing IPv6 addresses starting with fe80:, these are local/private, a bit like 169.254.x.y IPv4 addresses.

So far, all global/routable IPv6 addresses begin with 2.

(And for most home users, IPv6 is just as easy as IPv4, i.e. they don't know anything about either. After a test period, ISPs that support IPv6 generally enable it for all the normal home users -- it saves them money! That it is the default is how we got to 35% of Internet users using IPv6.)
Women are not a statistical minority, but in social rights and power, they are still very much a minority. As such they get some legal and societal protection for that. Anything else is burying your head in the sand.
How well will farmers survive without the infrastructure that is provided by modern cities? Hospitals? The years when they have poor yields?

How is the quality of life of more agrarian societies compared to more industrial nations?

When a worldwide pandemic happens, how is rural America going to do? How are poorer more agrarian countries now doing in the midst of Covid compared to the industries countries?
You realize that politicians support their constituencies when they’re able to do so. It Tesla wanted to participate in the political process they’d plant a factory in a union area and welcome the association. And to me, Musk doesn’t have a “in it for the long haul” vibe, which makes him a risky bet.
Tesla and Bitcoin generate hate since they both have somewhat of a cultish following (whether that's good or bad is a separate topic)

I wouldn't put JS in the same category.
Check out dark.fail.
Sure there are a TON of dark web markets but a lot of news sites and such. Tor sure is a bunch of botnets and hackers and such but there certainly are more “genuine” uses to that.

The alternative is no anonymous internet which is also not something I would want.

Also, based solely on gut feeling, the speed Tor from 10 years ago to today is night and day. Something tells me a ton of nodes are state actors and Tor is quasi broken. Not “buy an oz of weed FBI don’t move we’ll shoot” broken but if you are planning another 9/11 they probably can figure that shit out even if you are on Tor. I base that on zero facts.
Taking a screenshot is pretty easy, but this is cool. Would be handy to provide a "copy to clipboard" button instead of only downloading.

This is basic information theory. Counter intuitive == surprising == higher information content.

This is also why fake news is so viral.

Ask HN: Getting started with Web3 ("decentralized web") development
I am completely new to building Web3 applications but am quite experienced with web development, wondering if there are high quality resources around these? I understand there is a lot of negative hype around this but I am trying to learn how things work.

Where should I start?

Resources I have found so far:

https://moralis.io/ - Firebase for Crypto(?)

https://thirdweb.com/ - Web3 apps?

> Why do these people think they can get that kind of energy density from lithium iron phosphate when nobody else can?

Other people can, but not within the same safety, regulatory, longevity, cooling, weight, and manufacturability constraints.

Which is why this demo is useless. It's easy to make one-off prototypes that accomplish something impressive as long as it only has to work a couple times, doesn't have to comply with safety regulations, and you have a massive budget to hand-build a couple of them. It's a different story entirely to try to ship it.
I give myself a buzzcut every two weeks. 21mm on top, 5mm on the sides and back, slanted cutter on 5 in the trasition zone. If it goes bad I can always do 5mm all over. Hardest is to catch the whispy fuckers around the bald spot.

I also do my kids hair, though the girls keep theirs long so thats just a matter of brushing it real neat and make a straight edge. The boy is too small to take to a hairdresser anyway.

I also do my wife's hair. She is the only one where some thought and planning is required. I'm amazed that she lets me.
> Are they though? Isn't some giant fraction of flat-eartherism self-consciously unserious (e.g. taken up as a joke for fun as a troll), and that that isn't is tiny and utterly marginalized?

Popehat's Law of Goats applies.
In the spirit of generosity, I'll assume that was a very sly joke, and not an ironic misunderstanding of the point of the comment and the original post. Nice, I see what you did there!
I agree, but at least with expensive clothing brands you may get something that might actually have some value. For example, someone gave me some branded clothing for christmas a few years ago, that I would never have bought myself, and it turned out to both be super comfortable and lasted far, far longer than the cheap brands I bought.

Of course, there is also much expensive brand clothing that's garbage, so its certainly not a given, but my point is that with clothing you at least have something you can wear, which may or may not have value in itself, while with NFT's you just have the brand.

The system wasn’t built to favor rural areas, it was built to favor the sovereignty of the States, which are independent territories with their own systems of government, who specifically agreed to join the US in exchange for the representation they received in Congress and the Electoral process. Trying to walk back that compromise to let high population states dominate national politics is a violation of the social contract.

That’s why the States are referred to as experiments in democracy. It’s a decentralized form of government (With guardrails, written into the US Constitution). It doesn’t matter that there are millions of people in Los Angeles, their voice shouldn’t have a disproportionate say in how farmers in say, Iowa, run their government. The needs, economies, and demographics of different states are completely different and a using decentralized system of government is much more intuitive than trying to manage it from the top down.
DOE used to run a high school student summer program for a week at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The students would get to program on one of the Crays that the lab had. They even got to print out documentation (paper and microfiche).
If the Ukrainian government is not concerned with the activities of Russia, what drives the west to be concerned?

Ask HN: Safari only rendering part of pages
I'm baffled and am wondering is anyone else is having this issue. I have a new MacBook Air M1 and a new MacBook Pro M1 and both exhibit this issue. Very often Safari will only render part of the page. I notice it most often when searching Google. When scrolling part way down it just cuts off and I only have 5 tabs open! These are both fresh systems running brand new installs of macOS Monterey Version 12.0.1. How is such a rudimentary function, page rendering, broken on these bad boys?
Many managers are bad but can keep the job for a long time. This is because it's not the people that you are managing that judge your performance. So you can very well be a bad manager and still keep your job. The key here is that you only need to be a manager that delivers results. You don't need to be a manager that is good.
I am hoping to complete suicide as my next major move.
> > if a garage presents your vehicle for inspection.

> That's the key. Many people don't bring their cars to a garage for inspection. Especially if they don't have annual maintenance intervals which typically end on the same month as the HU intervals.

Annual intervals ensure an easy TÜV inspection, but it is differs entirely from the raised point. You can hire a garage to present your car - no need for an annual maintenance contract. No need for intervention by the car manufacture. And you shortend the quotation: Why are you explicitly calling german brands out for: "the average german branded car owner who signed an annual maintenance contract" and why are you omitting my point, that this can be done with any brand and any age of vehicle?
I would claim that the luxury brands have _less_ annual maintenance contracts by private households.
You need to provide sources for your claims - I just pointed out, that there is no correlation with your claim and it is a biased assumption.

> > The price for the check is fixed. You only fail the check, if there are crucial safety issues or oil leaks

> I don't doubt that. The question is whether the dealership will inspect your car before your official inspection or not.

Any garage can inspect your car - regardless of age. Your opinion is only proven if tesla owners hire less garages then any other brand. And then the age of the car is still neglected.

> > You do also insult any inspector (DEKRA, GTU or TÜV) by promoting such implications.

> ??? I am only saying that dealerships are inspecting cars before official inspector sees them, and the rate of pre-inspected cars differs from brand to brand. I don't blame DEKRA, GTU or TÜV for faulty inspections. I blame them for not disclosing the bias in their statistics.

Inspectors treat any vehicle the same. That means that any garage is able to ensure a successful inspection. There is no dependency on the dealership.
Additionally, the owner is responsible for preparing the car.

Since we are referring to fairly new cars: Depending on the kind of purchase the owner _is required_ to present his car at a garage in an interval. Otherwise he will loose his warranty or additional insurances.

And my personal opinion: Anybody who repaired any car on its own will agree: teslas quality is ridicolous cheap.
When the 'take our jobs' website first came up (immigrants offering citizens to take their jobs bending over artichoke fields and what not) I was one of the first to sign up. It turned out they didn't actually want people to take their jobs, and they never actually offered me a job even though I was 100% ready and wanting to take their job. These jobs are largely closed off to citizens through the old boy network of immigrants (I'm not impugning them for this, I'm very glad they're here working those jobs so I can eat). I ended up hitchhiking to North Dakota for one of the few labor jobs available, building housing for the oil rush.

> The physical abuse included acute trauma from repeated impacts via punches and full strength kicks to my head. Saw stars every time I was hit, like those old Batman comics.

Laws usually protect adults from such treatment. How come the courtesy not extended to, uh, not-yet-adults especially given the high stakes? One of the loudest political cries in the west(especially, America) is "thinka-da-chillins". Is that an empty virtue signal? I mean people in the US act like a stray nlpple on prime-time TV will scar half the population for life, yet this is something that'll buff out? Neurotypicals are a mystery sometimes :)

hi queue29,
what are the minimum production requirements for nomad ?
what is the cheapest machine i could use from digitalocean for a production task ?
I use Migadu on a daily basis and the experience is absolutely incredible. The UX is very satisfying: everything is well described, it's a simple website and seems to just work. It serves a bit as a buffer for all my email traffic so I can use any client I like (even redirect to gmail if need be). The pricing looks reasonable to me. Overall I can highly recommend this.
This is quite hard to do correctly though? I think you're talking about tainting all user inputs and tracing their path through a system, but this is non trivial and quite possibly impossible in the general case.
I think there are entire different categories of genes that lead to nonviable offspring, where some genes are "truly essential for all life" (say, coding for a single ribosomal protein), some genes are "not essential in some rare conditions" (genes for surviving extreme desiccation during wet times), and other genes exist in groups that complex relations where a different subsets could be removed (various synthetic pathways, nothing is truly "necessary", but nothing is truly "sufficient"). These differences have to be addressed through different techniques.

I had a wonderful moment during my postdoc where I discovered a large fractions of genes falsely marked as "essential to life" happened to overlapping genes that were essential to life (IE, parts of both got deleted in the experiment). The underlying paper reporting this was never retracfted but later experiments show if you control for this, many genes aren't "essential" but happen to be overlapping ones that are (thus, you can delete the nonoverlapping part of the nonessential gene and the organism is still viable).

And yes, you're 100% right we already knew that mutation rates are varible. IIUC this paper is arguing for some special process that "protects" functionally important regions from mutation, but I haven't read it in detail and I'm too long gone from the field to make reasonable criticisms.
Love these, not as cool but makes me think of:

OP never said Democrats are flawless, quite the contrary. They made the statement that even though Democrats are flawed, they are not as openly hostile and oppressive as Republicans are. So while your statement may be true, it’s not relevant to the point being made.
