Stunts like these are why employers would continue to do surveillance on their employees and then we will keep complaining. It is not that hard to find if someone has multiple W-2 these days and if you are dishonest about it, you will be in trouble sooner or later. I can't believe we are discussing this on HN of all places.
Been using metatags which has few more supported services.
The pro life people don't see any difference between a 4 month old fetus and a 4 month old baby. They are both lives worth protecting. If that's how you see the world, then an abortion certainly does affect somebody other than the woman.
The feeling that it is being dishonest comes from believing the world is just. It isn't. Meritocracy is a myth made to extract value from labor in a way that makes workers feel good about it.

When I read this, I think, "Good for them. They found an edge by reexamining the rules and disrupted the model." Blaming individuals is foolish when a system incentivizes actors to play optimization games.
That's because it's not. The cost isn't $240 by necessity. They're knowingly overpaying for Internet access (they have multiple connections, they're not even using Starlink for example).

I'm paying $34 / month in a small city in the middle of nowhere for 200mbps in the US.

They should have a way to close the _old_ question as a duplicate and point it at the new one for handling outdated answers.
Nor how to goad an ox team into drawing a plow! What is the world coming to?

Seriously, though, I think it remains to be seen which of these are going to be mainstream requirements that drivers should be able to depend on.

Power brakes and ABS? If those fail on an otherwise well-maintained vehicle, you're likely to be excused of personal/moral blame in a collision.

Merge into someone that your camera-based blind spot driver aid didn't detect? Back into something because you were looking at your rear camera rather than your mirrors? That's your fault, the manual for the vehicle and the text on the rear camera display say so explicitly, and it seems people agree.

There's currently a marketing battle in the court of public opinion over whether radar/vision cruise, forward collision prevention, and vision-based lanekeeping driver aids are in the former or latter category. I think they're more likely to fall into the latter category and remain driver aids only for a long time, it remains to be seen if Cruise-like LIDAR systems are as rock-solid as ABS.
> Another thing that I do, is have fairly large source files, that aggregate multiple classes/structs/enums/protocols that relate to each other. It drives me nuts to deal with the typical Java "Each class has its own file -no matter how small" thing.

This can go both ways - I've seen plenty of projects where you have to dig through 3k lines of unrelated spaghetti code just to find the bit you need. That turns into a special piece of hell when you have multiple team members working on it.

The original motivation for having more small files was driven by these "god objects" and the limitations of version control. CVS, Visual Source Safe and to a lesser extent Subversion were much easier to use together with smaller files.

If you're using modern version control (git) then that reason has gone.

My personal preference is to split horizontal concerns into their own modules and depend on them; they become the core / support libraries for my team/organisation. For services I try to keep the domain-specific parts close. Tests go in a different module which mirrors the structure. When units start to get big (or become cross-cutting) they get factored into smaller units or other modules.

In the end it's all a balance and unless you're under outside constraints (cough SonarCube box-ticking busywork idiocy cough) then you can generally keep it sane.
Now do alcohol, caffeine and nicotine.

The difference in safety in favor of cannabis is substantial.
I'm fine with people not finding me automatically. If Signal wants to keep the low-resistance method of bulk-checking your contact's phone numbers, fine. Just give me the choice of joining without it.
>I’m simply describing reality

That's clearly untrue. You're claiming there isn't a systemic problem, I'm claiming there is.

>It’s more complicated than simply supply and demand

It's never more complicated than supply and demand; it's just that supply and demand are, themselves, both very complicated. If housing was just determined by such factors as climate and price, everyone would move to Silver City, New Mexico. Despite fantastic weather, relatively low prices and a beautiful mountain setting, it has seen a sharp population decrease over the last decade.

This isn't a matter of people being irrational, or "wanting" to live in "desirable" areas. It's a matter of people needing to live in productive areas. Denial won't make it go away.
Bill, is that you? I used to work for a guy who got really angry when we switched to linux and ls did color. I had to show him how to unalias ls.
One option is to just Ansible to pre-bake the machine image with packer and cloud-init for "last mile" deployment. For VMware govc is an awesome cli to handle the machine launch. For testing locally with kvm machines the multipass cli works well on Linux, macOS and windows - no cloud needed
I covered that last year in my 4 month review (and linked to that post in the article as well): https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/spacexs-starlink-revi...
You can admire his spirit, but not his judgement or actions.

Attacking a foreign power, or serving a foreign power's military, are both crimes from what I know (am not a lawyer, but cybersecurity tangential).

Specifically, taking out the power affects everyone who lost power, and could be construed as an attack that causes harm to foreign officials. As a result I'd think https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/112 applies. Again, not a lawyer, but the days of hacktivist actions without major retributions have been gone since the early 90s (hackers often get worse sentences than rapists or murderers). It's a different world now, more's the pity. For some background I recommend The Hacker Crackdown (https://www.mit.edu/hacker/hacker.html)
It is both possible and desirable to build into a product a strong set of assumptions and useful defaults which can be easily overridden when your assumptions do not hold for every case.

The problem with settings and option flags is when a user needs to set a great deal of them to get anything done. Smart defaults for the common case are useful. Overrides for the uncommon case expand that utility to more cases. These two ideas are not mutually exclusive. They are, in fact, a pragmatic and helpful combination.

Have defaults. Allow overrides of them.
All social networks with voting systems are optimised to maximise engagement and promote outrage. Just look at how every single country subreddit is a constant flamewar.

HN _mostly_ prevents this by having strong and good moderation, but there's still a fair amount of negative metrics coming from it.
I would guesss that these coworkers probably had a deficit in their communication prior to university. Them taking a different degree wouldn't have changed it.
Why I would never do such a heinous act... as long as the neightbors behave.
Netflix mobile apps allow you to download most content, too, so you can compare the quality to streamed content. However, then you are limited to phone/tablet screen size for comparison.
I don't understand why cable connections are so bad when there is DOCSIS 3.1. Is it that the cable provider just has such a limited link on their end that people are getting speeds sub 100mbit? Are they vastly over provisioning their networks?
I'm not spouting anything dangerous. The data is indeed overwhelming and you must be living under a rock if you are not familiar with the numbers.

> every death that could have been avoided, of which many are documented on social media is a tragedy

Social media? Give me a break. There are legitimate sources that confirm every single word that I've said. Heck, even CDC is now "with me" on that front - https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/592457-the-cdc-is-fin....

I'm not denying that the vaccine is useful, but statistically it's _only_ beneficial to older people.

> They probably should legalize, control and de-crime-cartel the illegal cocaine industry

If the conversation goes as far as legalizing cocaine, then there is absolutely nothing to discuss. Cocaine is a highly addictive drug and I just can't express enough how many lives it took away.

> You are living in the 1950s or something.

I was born in 80s, there is no way I can live in 50s.
> But what happens if he just places the dish there?

That's exactly what he tried a few months back. It didn't work (no connection was possible IIRC). The service was basically geo-fenced back then and still might be.
What the hell are you talking about? If I keep my money in a bank account i get a tiny percent interest.

If have my crypto sitting in an exchange, i get nothing. Likewise moving my crypto around shaves off value each time in gas fees and whatnot.
There's also a pretty large self-selection bias.

So, sure, there's maybe missed opportunities to practice during a CS curriculum, but there still are plenty of them (remember, 2 years of 'core' classes, that have nothing to do with CS, not to mention opportunities to talk to the professor and TAs for questions, grade corrections, and just straight up brown nosing, and that's ignoring all the group projects you're likely to have, just for the fact those invariably turn into one or two people doing the actual work, and of course it's also ignoring any other social interaction opportunities you might have on a college campus, which they're kinda known for). You just have plenty of people who -want- to be heads down over a computer going into CS; you generally don't go into nursing or psychology or similar if you're not looking to work with people.
Indeed that does make charts look better.

Why a blockchain? Or is this sarcasm?
$140/month to get the most upload bandwidth possible at my house (35 Mbps through Spectrum).

Then $99/month for Starlink (for now, at least).

Meanwhile a few blocks away a friend has 500 Mbps symmetric access for $50/month.
I work for a ticketing company (not TM) and can confirm this is 100% true. We are completely beholden to our clients and as long as I've been working here our entire roadmap has been a reactionary, ever-growing list of demands from clients and potential clients with little to no consideration of the customer experience.

The whole industry operates on exclusivity of inventory (in this regard, Comcast and other ISPs are quite apt comparisons), so it simply does not matter how much customers hate the company selling the tickets, because their only options are to buy from them, buy at a higher price from scalpers (or the increasingly popular scalping platforms), or not attend the event at all. I think you're pretty rare in your commitment to the third option.
> There's really no mystery...

Precisely. The author of the article is certainly not mystified by what is happening, and no-one responding here seems to be so, either. You are not suggesting that the quality of the podcast and that of the app are inseparable issues, are you?
> "Web3" needs MORE critics, not fewer. With brand-new multi-million dollar consequence-free hacks, rug-pulls, and general pyramid schemery happening seemingly on the daily, the critics need to be _louder_ than all of the hucksters and deluded hopefuls.

So... in your opinion something deserves to be critizised because people use it for crimes? So, FIATs should also be critized because of that? Since people have been using those to commit all sort of crimes for decades.

Your argument is kinda invalid because it says a technology should be critized because someone are using to commit crimes.
'Silent AirTags' with Speakers Removed Pop Up on Etsy, eBay
Hello! I'm building argonaut.dev . Not related to the Argo project though we do use some parts under the hood.
It turns out you’re in the 0.1% of users and do not care at all about the 99.9%. Now what?
It sounds like you have a nifty setup, but I’m surprised you would consider such a high price for your third connection. Why is it worth so much in your case? For the price, you’re approaching the amortized cost of burying miles of cable, which could be an option for people who are only a short distance from wired infrastructure.
What about a small coop ISP? If you manage to use electric or telephone posts deploying fiber and getting a carrier is doable, at least here in Spain.
Google plus did exactly this and look at where that went.
> was a voter-led initiative and the state legislature tried to ignore it

That this was a grass-roots initiative makes it more durable. It also means challengers can use it as a wedge issue, at the state level and federally.
I assume you're referring to the hack? No that was a cross-chain bridge that got hacked. I would never trust those anyways.

L2's are Ethereum's official scaling solution (along with sharding).
Well, this one is built on top of OpenWRT. I guess it depends whether what they've built has added enough utility to be considered different from it?
In my experience if people work 80% of the hours, they're at least 95% productive, because often on Fridays people don't start new things, or generally faff about, or are tired. Having an extra day off a week to recharge can work wonders for creativity, productivity, lower stress levels, finding solutions to awkward problems. I wonder if actually 80% hours leads to more output than the original 100% for a lot of people.
Ofc its more efficient, but its not censorship resistant..
Tesla recalls 817,000 vehicles in U.S. over seat belt reminder alert
Apparently an over-the-air update fixes this. I wonder how complicated the logic for this SW feature is.
It takes a long time for some people to understand that complexity is the enemy; and for patterns in particular it takes some people a long time to learn when to apply them.

Same thing for algorithms: BloomFilters are the classic example. You can tell when it has hit the font page of HackerNews recently because suddenly everyone starts looking for problems that it can solve (poorly).

Just don't get me started on blockchain... :-)
Far-right ideology is ripping through those groups again today as well.
Because they don’t need $320 million dollars, they need “$320 million” in crypto which is easy enough to create out of thin air
I decided a few years ago that Signal was the closest thing to a good cross-platform messaging client that mortals could be expected to use. I sent an email to my most frequently texted contacts asking them to consider installing it and using it.

It’s not a huge cross-section of my friends and family that uses it, but I message a portion of my social network graph every day.
I'm talking about the 'gas company has the wrong address' issue. You just update it.

Erroneous transactions are a different question entirely that are too complicated to really explain in a comment.

I'd basically just say though that if you want a company or state actor to be able to reverse transactions, you probably aren't interested in cryptocurrencies, and that's fine. The five pound note I just gave to my mate isn't reversible either and I like it that way.
> The immune response after vaccination more or less mimics what happens after infection, with one major difference. In a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the immune system sees the whole virus. The most effective vaccines, however, are using just one viral protein to elicit a response: spike. And whether antibody levels will also plateau after vaccination isn’t yet clear. Wherry and his colleagues analysed immune responses in 61 people for 6 months after their first shot, finding that antibody levels peaked about a week after the second shot and then fell quickly for a couple of months. After that, they declined more slowly.

Clearly this article's author is a conspiracy theorist and should be censored for spreading misinformation.
Thanks. Really cool site! I sent it to a friend of mine who regularly plays scratch offs. He’s in New York though.
> They must be making a return on their investment, otherwise why would they do it?

Because of Facebook's advertising that says they should.

Or independent contractors who will helpfully create an ad campaign that will "earn 6x their investment".

There's plenty of stories out there of folks who actually put in the effort to measure the income generated by FB and Google ads, and they aren't flattering.
Evolution takes time.
From what I gathered from the video is that it doesn't work there because there is no converge. Those 70 miles might be just outside the coverage area. I guess if you are right outside one of these circles https://starlink.sx/ it won't work
Because that's quite literally a scam? Most employees are paid for the time they put in, if you're a contractor working for a fixed fee for delivering a project, it's different, but it's up to you to get that kind of contract, otherwise it's quite literally defrauding someone.

If you tell some granny that fixing her toilet will cost her 5k€ because it will take you a month, and you do it in a day, you're basically taking advantage of someone's ignorance to scam that person. It's exactly the same if it's some tech illiterate small business owner, or even any relatively honest decent boss.

Now of course I don't see the harm in doing that to evil abusive companies, but I think most of the companies who deserve to be treated that way would also never let you get away with that kind of thing.
A year or two ago I stayed in an Airbnb with the literal worst DSL connection I’ve ever run into, just dog slow, took literal minutes to load a modern website. I have to imagine the benefit of Starlink is when your alternatives are so bad that it’s like having no internet access at all, it looks pretty good.

But many people aren’t dealing with that, meaning that when you have better options, something like Starlink no longer looks all that necessary.

But users who are in a position where real internet is a real luxury due to location, Starlink still has value, even if it’s obviously not perfect. Especially when compared to satellite internet options that are comically slow even compared to cable modem connections that were common more than a decade ago.

Good critique, Jeff.
> Facebook hired an investigator that concluded that their involvement was without their knowledge

It seems like you simply take Facebook at their word.

> More realistically, I think the U.S. (where most of the claims are relevant) is simply declining after several hundred years of abusive reign as the world's superpower.

You do realize that you have provided no actual explanation for the decline.

Can you explain how your account, with a meaningless username, was created in 2014, only to become active around 9 months ago?
TFA doesn’t talk about what you think it should talk about, so it’s “clickbait”? Granted, “YouTube Face” never helps bolster one’s legitimacy, but what part of the headline did not meet expectations? By your own description, the article delivered.
Similar situation but I switched to T-Mobile. I have a Starlink order but it got delayed 6 months. At this point, I'll just cancel it because T-Mobile Home Internet is a game changer.
How do you know though. Maybe business are simply investing less money into Facebook because the ROAS isn’t 6-10x times anymore.

Maybe 100% or this is on Apple, but maybe it’s also because nobody under the age of 20 uses Meta platforms. I can only speak for my country of course, but if your target isn’t in the 40+ category then Facebook or Instagram advertisements rarely pay off in any sort of data we collect on it. In my line of work Facebook works, but it doesn’t work better than targeting banner adds on financial websites or financial news papers, and you still only start the onboarding journey with that, the real sale state waaaay later. 5 years ago the sale journey started on Facebook, and now it just doesn’t.
Satya Nadella: Microsoft has “permission to build the next Internet"
And perhaps worse, what happens if someone steals/copies your private key (say your paper backup) and signs a change of address in your name? Can you convince authorities that you didn't actually make the change?

Maybe if it is a physical address. After all, you presumably live there. But what if it's just some payment contract? As far as they care you yourself signed it, and they have the proof. If you can get them to cancel the contract, what was the point of using blockchain anyway?
Pinboard is great! It works everywhere, it’s super simple, and it means I can find stuff later.

For anyone looking for a “Read Later” option, [Paperback](https://readpaperback.com/) is lovely as well, like Instapaper before all the bullshit.
This is unsurprising; the number of individual exploits needed to chain together into a functioning compromise often requires a lot of joint effort.

It's funny this release comes out at the same time as the FBI's disclosure that they "tested" (aka purchased) Pegasus, NSO group's packaged exploit software. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi-says-it-tested-israeli-...
These sorts of comments really drag down the quality of discussion on HN. Not only that, they bolster a lot of readers' antipathy to your position (whatever that might be).

I hope you quickly get to the point in your life when you realize the wealth of knowledge and wisdom that you can learn from boomers (and folks even older than that).
I see two possible ways:

1. during the TLS handshake, the domain name itself might be sent in the clear if the SNI extension is used, and if the SNI extension isn't encrypted[1]

2. if the carrier knows the IP, then they can do a reverse DNS lookup to find the domain name

Pedantic: this isn't a stepping motor, it's just a plain linear motor.

Stepper motors have multiple teeth per pole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor#/media/File:Step...

The rotor has slightly fewer teeth than the stator, such that one "electrical rotation" (each coil being switched on in sequence) causes the rotor to advance by the number of missing teeth. That is what makes a stepper so precise; it gets 4+ divisions per tooth.
Apple? They will never be a realistic competitor to Quest 2 on price. Apple is not in the business of selling below or at cost.

They'll make great hardware but the price will keep it in the "well off consumer" range. Good for Apple because that's where the profits are but it won't make VR mainstream.
While not all advertising is bad, most of it is. Like the ratio is more 95% bad - 5% good, not 50-50.

I might be on board if this infrastructure was mostly used by local businesses. However that has not been my experience. Most advertisers are National brands and politicians. So we have this tool which could maybe used by local businesses but more often is used by National brands to push consumerism.

I would also like to flip the perspective a bit. It’s more important to allow people to have a private and consensual relationship with the internet than it is for small businesses to advertise their services.
