First of all, there is also copper conductor in it.

But the most important is, I think, you are mistaking voltage and current.

Resistance will limit current, but it will do nothing to voltage (except for fast transients depending on capacitive properties of the line -- sorry, there must always be some exceptions to every rule).

1M volts put to a conductor will still be 1M volts regardless of wether the conductor is 1ohm or 1M ohm.

Remember, electronics is mostly fried by voltage, not by current. For high current to damage electronics at nominal voltage it must have an internal fault -- short circuit, for example, that causes it to draw more power than necessary.

High potential, on the other hand, causes electrons to go all sorts of ways they are not supposed to go, causing damage to all sorts of things that are not supposed to be penetrated by electrons.

You can damage sensitive electronics by waving your hand over it. You don't even have to touch it -- just the fact that you are moving some electrons on your hand causes electromagnetic field (moving charge == electromagnetic field) that causes potential to be induced in internal electronics (conductor in changing electromagnetic field == induction).

Just read about why exactly electronics is distributed in those funny metalized bags.

I understand your concern and respect your will to stand for Democracy. I was in that place until recently. But I've changed.

I see current self-claimed "democracies" as a mix of Oligarchy, Technocracy and Bureaucracy, with Democracy influencing a tiny fraction of actual results of government action in citizens' lives.

And I don't see a path to a truly democratic system without a major cultural change and, most importantly, change in the individual level.

Zerto | Technical Marketing | Full-time | Remote (US/CA/UK)

Zerto is the leader in ransomware recovery, disaster recovery, and multi-cloud mobility—full spectrum data protection across on-premises and cloud (including AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and MSPs).

I'm hiring for two critical roles in Tech Marketing, a team within the broader Product Marketing department that's focused on technical messaging, enablement, tech evangelism, and competitive analyses:

* Technical Marketing Engineer: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2887537463/

* Technical Marketing Manager, Competitive Intelligence: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2884073171/

These positions are ideal for people from outside of Marketing who want to pivot their career slightly, especially presales engineers/architects (of course, current tech marketers welcome too!).

Both roles are remote-friendly, but you're also more than welcome to work out of our Boston office. Learn more and apply here: https://www.zerto.com/careers
I thought it was failing due to load or something, but seeing the other comments it seems it might just be due to me being a Firefox user.
Thanks for the feedback! It depends on the context, I think for most it is too much work but we're not focused on building a tool for everyone right now (on that I wish we could be more targeted in our marketing).

True most networks are passive, and the public networks are catering for this. I would also agree that the chat apps is a great solution for close connections and often use this as their primary social network for this reason.

From experience, because chat is a linear thread, conversation focused and notification heavy, it's really not good for sharing things that don't directly concern the person/group you're talking to.

So Circles is all about creating a space for sharing your life with those who matter most, sharing things that you don't necessarily need to share but would like to away from the spotlight of social media. For example I've been sharing my travels in Portugal to my close friends and family circles (around 20 people who are mainly not interconnected). If I did this on chat I would be opening/maintaining 10+ conversations about myself! This is the problem we're solving currently.

That said, overall I agree that there's an overlap there that takes away from the value we offer to people right now. Gotta start somewhere though!
While I agree with the SPOF point (heh), the header should really read “the recent Firefox Telemetry outage”. It's kind of like a website causing your browser or a tab of the browser to be unresponsive by introducing an infinite busy loop. Except the “tab” was invisible.
> You can't make the presupposition that a rolling 'stop' is always more dangerous than a full stop, either.

Actually, you can. Drivers who roll through a stop are far more likely not to notice pedestrians, bicyclists, or often even other drivers. They’re also unpredictable since everyone else has to figure out what they’re doing and react accordingly. I see the chaos on a daily basis where everyone else has to adjust their timing – and the selfish driver almost inevitably ends up no more than one car length ahead at the next back-up.

In contrast, a legal stop is easy to understand - it works just like you learned in driver’s Ed and since you can’t read another driver’s mind, you have to plan on stopping anyway.
$50M ARR seems way too low IMHO.
Stellar collapses, no, but once a black hole has accreted one other stellar body its dragged frame's axis of rotation will be altered by about half. Ten others and the original spin will have a very small influence.

It's unlikely for accreted stars to be in the same galactic orbit, so the accreted stars will be adding to the rotation in the galactic plane.
I’m sure all the people in your contact list who don’t want their information shared would be happy that you say no. Frankly, I’m always somewhat amazed that people do share that information. To me, it doesn’t feel like that’s mine to share.
Yep, overall I'm really happy with the GDPR. The main thing I'd like to see changed is that consent dialogs should be a built-in browser feature with a standardized interface that all websites were required to use instead of coming up with their own. That way we could finally end this farce of the ad-industry's attempts at weaseling their way around the word of the law (and the latest rulings) by designing dark pattern consent boxes.
There are multiple UI options to choose from. Have you tried them all?
The update might be started by the distro in this case, but there is no reason that Firefox cannot just keep an fd on the resource files open and use that instead of the updated files. Either that or keep things compatible so it can use the new files. Not being able to use the browser after an update is inexcusable.

> Let's be honest, the real reason for making this opt-out again is that you hope lots of people won't notice and you can start collecting their data. Please reconsider.

I'm keen on seeing if there's any legal code or case law that addresses opting someone back in who's already opted out.

And I'm hoping there's personal culpability for the change, too. Not just corporate fines. But this is probably just wishful thinking on my part.
I’ve been using BloomRPC for the past year, but it’s definitely got a few rough spots.

> EU data protection authorities find that the consent popups that plagued Europeans for years are illegal. All data collected through them must be deleted. This decision impacts Google’s, Amazon’s and Microsoft’s online advertising businesses.

How much data is being collected through these pop-ups?
You are referring to something different, a government attack on leaks of classified info. I don't have an opinion on that.

What Singapore's PM has done is personally sue people, such as college students, for speculation on their blogs. Not at all the same thing -- no leaks of government information, instead, open questions attempting to investigate and raise awareness of conflicts of interest. Some students have gone bankrupt by these attacks.

Trump is also that petty.
Thanks! It's been interesting as I used the first prototype to learn how to code. There's been breaks between then and now but that was 18 months ago - a lot of the premises for building Circles have been adopted by IG. Close Friends, Send to Groups, DM focus and easy account switching.
Those both actually sound quite interesting to me. What is your ideal collaboration setup / level of involvement with these? I'll start reading up. Please shoot me an email (see profile).
The most important line from the article:

Those who are concerned about falling into the trap of the McNamara Fallacy shouldn’t abandon quantitative measurements and metrics.

A key example is Moneyball: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moneyball

In my line of work, JavaScript, people will intentionally ignore data that challenges their favored approach. Measuring things is important, but all these examples illustrate that measures are irrelevant when ethics are absent, which is worse than measures applied too narrowly as in the McNamara Fallacy.

Here's a skeptic's take on this:

- People share privately in group chats. For example, in Whatsapp groups.

- Circles were tried by Google, and got nowhere. One of the big lessons was that people don't want to organize friends into circles. In group chat (like in Whatsapp), one person creates/admins the group and all its members benefit. The grouping (chosen by one person, say "Tennis club") is more often than not equally relevent to all its members - sparing each member the burden of creating and maintaining circles individually.

- If you're talking about encryption, you'll need to be clearer about it
Well, that's their problem. They must delete the data or face legal consequences. That should act as a deterrent to future "too smart for their own good" ad people.

No, they will lose US domicile which is important for certain things like government and military (literal $$$) contracts. This isn't theoretical, Broadcom (which in 2015-2018 was structured to be domiciled in Singapore mainly for tax reasons) nearly acquired Qualcomm but was blocked due to US national security concerns (https://www.straitstimes.com/business/trump-signs-order-proh..., although I'll note that in practice even if US-domiciled, Qualcomm's board isn't interested and a hostile takeover is unlikely to be successful).
Fully agree. I also occasionally read stuff on high integrity computing, very interesting material that the industry at large still is far behind of what could be in practice.
The infinite busy loop in this case was not the tab no (neither visible or invisible). The loop was directly in the network stack, as stated in the post, not in the caller.
> Gmail was a way, way, way better experience than Hotmail or anything else when it started

I recall seeing it as sluggish and awkward when I finally decided to check it, abusing Ajax. Other web interfaces (that I tried) were more lightweight and predictable, and regular mail clients I found to be a much better UX. So I've mostly attributed Gmail popularity to Google promoting it, possibly using that invite-only policy to make the users to spread the invitations. It sounds like at least some users actually liked it, but I don't think it's a clear example of a good service by Google.
Ask HN: Rsync.net Lifetime 1Tb?
Hi,

I recently received a mail from rsync.net for 1tb @500$ lifetime (only by mail)

I'm happy with rsync.net service and my small account, but if i found this offer interesting, 500$ is a lot (for me), even lifetime, especially for long time backup ... 1Tb, even replicated, will probably cost like a usb 4 gb usb today in 2030 no ?

Actually B2 also offer ~70$ by year for 1Tb of storage for example. I use that for my RAW photo backup.

What do you think about that, i'm interested by another point of view. Perhaps rsync.net CEO (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=rsync ?) could explain us why this lifetime plan today ? I try to better understand/evaluate the interest of this offer.

Like i read on another reddit post 'A lifetime membership can never be proven, only disproven, and once it’s disproven, there is no-one to complain to.' : https://www.reddit.com/r/storage/comments/sfoqb4/rsyncnet_lifetime_plan_good_option_or_not/

Ask HN: San Francisco vs. Palo Alto – which is better for funded startup?
Hi HN,

A friend of mine is based in Colorado, has raised a seed round, and is moving his startup to the Bay Area. He's deciding between Palo Alto and San Francisco, and since I have only lived/worked in SF I don't have any decent advice to offer on the PA front.

Anyone able to articulate the pros/cons?

Palo Alto is the Stanford hub, with a strong bet on student recruitment pipelines. On the other hand, I imagine most people want to move to a city after graduating. San Francisco is a world class community, so it seems hard to go wrong. Capital is abundant in both (and online). Both seem like good options...
Yes, the bug was in the Telemetry code. I'm not sure if it's on by default, but it's probably better to disable it for any large-scale deployments. Both to prevent things like this and to make sure that things that should be disabled by default actually are.
I use SingleFile [0] in the browser:

"SingleFile is a Web Extension (and a CLI tool) compatible with Chrome, Firefox (Desktop and Mobile), Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Waterfox, Yandex browser, and Opera. It helps you to save a complete web page into a single HTML file."

I really like and often use the option to highlight text and add notes to a web page before saving it locally. After saving the file you can easily do a full-text search because, e.g., both macOS Finder and Windows Explorer index HTML files by default.

If that means not losing support of the device 5 minutes after I bought it because Qualcomm and Apple can’t come to an agreement I rather have lower quality during calls.

I consider Java and .NET mainstream enough. :)
I would concede your logic is fine, however, and for a sake of discussion as well, one cannot view such "data" outside of the broader context of how nation-states interact and compete for power (ie. geopolitics). Sure, audit does serve the said function and it is valuable effort, however, understanding the data does have several levels of context -(some of them including costs other than environmental).

Is it necessary or valuable to consider things in this broader context? Let me know what you think, but I would submit that ignoring it is to remove oneself from reality of the issue and the position in which those making/drafting policies and decisions (strategic - on energy, security, etc) are. In analogy, people of Germany support "green ideas" but in another news they people drive to Poland to tank their car to save 30 eur when the prices are too high. I hope the point is not lost in this analogy.
I'm not really trying to define anything - but yeah, unless we concretely set the pantone of the car by cross-referencing it or something, maybe that colour is still up for debate? The pantone thing would be the microscope equivalent in the post.

IAB europe had a shared list of vendors and their purposes amongst the ad industry, and everyone's popups using the TCF framework just prompted with the same list because they _might_ be in the ads, not because they'd actually be on the page.

That's not all that's happening. I think you might be pattern-matching what's happening in the article to something you've already seen, when in fact it's something novel.
Good job!

Here is a different approach I took: https://mathlegame.com/
I've been using https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcui + Paw so I hope that Paw catches up and also adds gRPC support. Definitely a good decision to have everything in one tool.
In general, I agree that it would be nice. Not sure what the right way to legislate that would be, but I'm sure there are ways.

However, if DNT/GPC (which can signal opt out but not much else) becomes legally binding (as they very well might, with DSA), that'd be a huge win for me personally, because I don't see my self ever consenting, and reading consent dialogs isn't worth my time.

As I understand it, GPC is already legally binding in California thanks to CCPA.
