>> maintain a persistent ssh tunnel

SSH agent forwarding was merged 3 months ago (after the patch waited 7+ years in one form or another), but per https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/437299 → https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/337 (2012), mosh does not yet officially support port forwarding, despite https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/pull/583 (2013 → 2015 → 2017). It appears the initiator of the original patch has maintained their fork: https://github.com/rinne/mosh (disclaimer: I don't use mosh and have not tried or reviewed the differences from the official version).

Perhaps https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal is a viable alternative. Per https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/issues/473#issu..., 'Several security teams have reviewed ET.'
So it sounds like in Germany, you can fire people to hire another 200 cheaper, you just have to compensate them for that firing. Just like in the US if you fire someone without cause, they get unemployment payments funded by their previous employers unemployment insurance (which goes up the more people they fire).

And this isn't even relevant to what is happening with Booking.com. No one is being explicitly fired, they are being moved to a new company with different job requirements. Which as far as I understand, is constrictive dismissal, so the right thing in this case is for Booking.com to give all their employees the option of being laid off instead.
I don't think it's accurate to say that the OP or your sources are just "reporting on an "unexpected 40% increase in ‘all cause deaths’ in 2021" from an actual government dataset". All the links are clearly coming to specific conclusions (which align with the bias of the source) that could not be reasonably made considering the data they are referring to. This is on top of the highly charged language and providing no link to the source they are making their claims based on.

I am all for reporting on possible errors in data, but what is going on here is much more than that.

There's also the consideration of the host star to take into account.

I dislike the term "Earth-like" in these publications because it conjures images of a strange alien world able to support (human) life. Even assuming there were life capable of withstanding the constant flares from the host star, I suspect it would have to look very different in color and likely composition to the plant life here due to needing to capture a different part of the spectrum.

the fortitude saving throw T-break is a good idea, once in a while.
But then you're processing the whole list, probably defeating the point of breaking.
> talking through every possible objection to an idea is how you can tell that people are starting to zero in on it as the most likely best solution. The closer an idea gets to acceptance, the more thoroughly you vet it. The more it becomes clear that an idea is the best way forward, the more you start to prepare for dealing with the reality of it.

Sounds a lot like the Braintrust described in the book "Creativity, Inc." which was accredited with a large portion of the credit for Pixar's success.

> This makes practical sense, but not political sense

The book says that to create the kind of environment that a Braintrust can function in takes a deal of care and one thing was all politics needed to be removed. Great book though highly recommend it.

I've been interested in Erlang for a while, and reading this is intriguing. Taken literally the above makes no sense :) but it also kind of... does, sort of, and I would like to understand how this works.
That's right, I wasn't sure whether the answer should be revealed or not, so I left it out. Do you think the answer should be revealed, or should the player be given more tries?
> gas power plants can be switched on and off very quickly at peak times (in strong contrast btw to nuclear power plants)

Not true - from the wiki: Modern nuclear plants with light water reactors are designed to have maneuvering capabilities in the 30-100% range with 5%/minute slope, up to 140 MW/minute. Nuclear power plants in France and in Germany operate in load-following mode and so participate in the primary and secondary frequency control.

This issue will impact Netflix as well. During lockdown I watched a few series that were at season one only, and a lot didn't get renewed. Now I only select series with at least two seasons.
Currents used to be "Google+ for G Suite" but Google+ shut down in 2019 so it was renamed to Currents at that time. I don't think it was over a decade old though, that sounds like a previous product also named Currents that was shutdown prior to Google+ for G Suite being a thing.
Look, I usually try to be charitable. However, this article offered no new insight on Apple Airtags.
If you don't want to waste your time, allow me to summarize:

Woman puts Airtags in a car. Her husband isn't able to find them, even using Apple's "anti-stalk" features. Ergo, Apple needs to do more.

I ask - what new insight did this article offer on Airtags? I don't think anyone can conclude either way on the effectiveness of Apple's "safety measures" when it comes to Airtags, from this small anecdote.

In my mind, the article buries the Lede on the real discussion - should Apple be doing these measures at all? I find that issue far from settled when this article takes it for granted that not only should Apple take these safety measures, they should do more!

The author also seems to be somewhat deceptive - "I sound like a terrible wife, but it's for journalism!"
No, it seems like the author played a prank on her husband a while back and used that to neuroticaly follow him, then tried to excuse that behavior by writing this fluff piece.

Anyways, I do think there is interesting discussion to be had about Airtags and if/what Apple should be doing to prevent unwanted tracking. However, this article didn't have that discussion or contribute to it in a meaningful way.

It was kind of meant to be an intranet, but they got to releasing v1 and then seemingly never really developed it any further.
It's interesting to try it this way. Did it in the past with alcohol because I was curious how long it take to eliminate the urge (regardless of strength) to drink. Got through two months without any drinks and I'm not sure that the urge ever really went away. But I got used to tamping it down.
We are a small startup, recently moved to Zoho from Google. Except of the Google calendar, we don't miss a thing. The experience with Zoho Work drive is even better for collaborative work. Though its CEO association with RSS annoys me a bit but eh!
At first, I thought this was about the Google Currents news aggregator app that competed with Flipboard, and had somewhat similar functionality to the modern 'Google' app.

But no, that was a different Currents which was killed a long time ago. This Currents is an enterprise communication app.
That's insane optimism to me. We don't even know how to get a nail to re-attach to a nail bed. We can't put some crystals on a tooth. We can't create a single hair follicle. We have zero non-surgical ways to repair arteries. Etc, etc, etc. We have made zero progress in anti-aging other than controlling blood pressure and identifying harmful chemicals in an environment.

We ARE good at extreme, surgical and or heavy medicating intervention. Doesn't go hand-in-hand with life extension at all.
nothing about the trials were "rushed" in a way that compromised quality. Please stop parroting that talking point.

A way to make this a bit easier would be allowing a nonexistent word once per game or something like that.

I suggest using another color for that, as red is associated with error most of the time. Why not using the green/yellow for the numbers too?
I don't know why you'd think that's easier to suppose. Seems naive. How does listening to you benefit them? Listening to lobbyists, on the other hand...

They ARE a big cloud provider.
Here's my theory!

Perhaps the writers write the first season fully aware of the probability that they won't be asked to write a second. Then, when it's a surprise hit, they are less sure of what to do following the events of the first.
Agreed. But you can also smoke the wood a bit, helps with the weather. Also the interconnectedness is something that helps I think. Because you reduce the surface.
If I understand correctly, it's not about losing interest but ensuring there is a successor for when GP wishes to step back or is forced to do so. The community should acknowledge this and fund training and possibly salary for who's next.

No, Soji Yamakawa (the sole developer of this game) never added texture support to vehicles. Those letters you see there are entirely made out of polygons and have their own color, distinct to the rest of the plane's body. Sometimes those polygons are embedded on the plane's mesh, and others they're just floating above the fuselage. The latter technique simplifies the entire plane's topology quite a bit.
The best apps for an Ungoogled Android Smartphone
Reading through that site it’s amazing the amount of weird random stuff Google does.

There’s the ‘throw stuff at the wall’ product strategy, and then there’s the ‘no strategy at all’ strategy.

I mean ‘Google Bookmarks - a web-based bookmarking service not integrated with any other Google services’. I know this one’s an outlier as it’s old for a Google product, but if it’s not integrated then why bother?

Part of me thinks it’s because they’ve got a lot of people and an near infinite amount of money and there’s only so many people you can throw at sticking ads everywhere, so everyone else has got to do something.

Might as well write another messaging app.
This is the realm of the Fermi Paradox (which is a misnomer because it's not really a paradox at all).

The key question is that if planets are so common and space is so big, why does it seem to be so empty of life? You bring up an argument that maybe life is so different as to be undetectable. It's a fair question to ask but the beauty of the Fermi Paradox is that you don't need to argue about what's most likely. You simply have to be concerned with what's possible.

Let me put it this way. let's say that there is 1 other spacefaring civilization in the Milky Way and they've evolved like you said in a way completely alien to us and as such don't follow a path we can easily detect or at least we don't think to look for it. I can buy that as entirely possible.

But now let's assume there are 1,000 spacefaring civilizations in the Milky Way. What are the odds that every one them falls in this category? What are the odds that none of them follow a similar evolutionary path to us and what we consider highly likely? It becomes increasingly incredulous as you scale up the number of civilizations.

So what's more likely? 1,000 civilizations followed a path alien to us independently? Or that there are few to no other civilizations out there to detect?

To say we're the only 1 of 1,000 to follow this path is really a different kind of human-centric hubris.

Extracting energy from a star is so low-tech it defies logic to think we're the only ones who will (likely) do it.
In the US this would probably be constructive dismissal, so similar to what would happen in Germany. And referring to slavery when talking about the current US laws seems somewhat irrelevant
You might be thinking of the old Google Currents, which was a completely different product (a "digital newsstand" app) with the same name.

I thought it was pretty well established that the USA knew Japan was willing to surrender, but dropped the bomb anyway?

There are a few different theories about this, and still some controversy about it all to this very day as I understand it.

One idea holds that Japan would have surrendered earlier had the Allies not insisted on the abolition of the role of the Emperor (who as I understand it, is something akin to God in Japanese culture). This was apparently a step too far for the Japanese at the time.

Another idea holds that even if the Allies had invaded, the Japanese would have quickly capitulated IF the Russians were part of the invasion. Supposedly Japan was uniquely afraid of Russia at that moment in history, for some reason. I don't recall now the details behind this suggestion.

I can't say much about the veracity of either position, but those are two themes I've heard repeatedly about the situation.

How to get Answers On Stack overflow
So how do you get answers on stack overflow?

Poking around, looking at the source code of various Stack Overflow sites might get you an answer to your question. However, getting answers is a very different process.

On Stack Overflow, the community is made up of developers. It’s a platform that helps people solve problems. Users submit questions and developers respond by replying with their answers in a famous “ask” format — they can say what they have done or what they would like to see in the future. However, we will show you how there is much more to this than that.
Love to know more. I want to print them, and I'm sure others have similar needs:

1. I want a paper backup chart on my boat when I'm in the ocean. The one I have is deteriorating.

2. I want a large-scale print or collection of them so I can plan and track journeys with my family. I have them pinned in my stairway wall on foam board, and have been considering a different approach.
One of the most common addictions now is cellphone addiction. But especially since the pandemic it's hard to do anything without a cell phone. You need your QR codes everywhere for testing or showing you're tested, show your vaccinations, check in to restaurants, etc.
You just hire a virtual assistant on upwork or somewhere else. You take an hour or two explaining what you need, which tool they need to use, what’s the output format, template, etc.

It will likely take a few days where you will need to answer questions, handle edge cases before your virtual assistant is up to the speed.

And that’s about it. Anytime you want your notes to be transcribed, you just send it through email or whatever
Fun fact! Earlier versions of the Quectel modem firmwares supported a more direct method for running code as root:

I often advertised to use a VPN outside your jurisdiction. That is still valid recommendation. Of course people that share real illegal content will too, that is the price of freedom I guess. But most importantly this is a mechanism to quickly identify "threats" from potential dissidents. Not a single child will be helped by this.
> add add epubs, pdfs, and web articles to the app => highlight and add comments => tag and organize highlights => review them with a spaced repetition system

This would make way more sense if it was an add-on to existing information/knowledge management software like Zotero. The base software would take care of the "add documents to the app" workflow, and the "highlight excerpts and use them to build cloze-testing SRS cards" thing could be an added feature. Having everything be a single "app" can be too limiting at times.

As a 5'3 guy in pretty good shape with a nice apartment, six-figure job, and socially savvy, I agree. Almost all women taller than I am love coming to my parties and genuinely like me. But they are usually unable to see me as a romantic partner because of height. Forget dating apps or bars.

You can do all of that without a phone.
I was genuinely interested, and, wow. It's been 15 years since I've tried Second Life but I'm not terribly surprised the scripting/modding looks like this, and all your comments about the exposed API make sense now.

To gain the presidency it is all-but-mandatory to have the enthusiastic backing of a big chunk of voters and the tacit or explicit approval of around half of them. Combine mass popular support with executive power and there isn't a lot practically that can be done.

Furthermore it appears that most of the US politicians have some sort of borderline-corrupt activity going on if not being actively involved in something illegal (Epstein springs to mind, various scandals that turn up around presidential elections). People in glass houses are cautious in their stone throwing.

And a final and decisive stroke - there is plausible uncertainty about whether the action is illegal. These are people who write the law, they are not expected to be stay-inside-the-legal-lines types because they all have different opinions on where the lines should be and are usually in the process of drawing them. They appoint the people who determine what the words mean and that leads to occasional creative reinterpretations. There isn't time to prosecute over every detail that someone objects to given the range of objections there are.
Fun and challenging! Looking forward to tomorrow's word.

I really wish this article included a recording of the sounds. I have no idea what they sound like and if it would bother me.

I personally love the look of wind farms, but maybe the noise would make me equally as upset as the people in the article.
The difference is that China cannot leverage that data. You own intelligence agencies very well could. Still not optimal to have anyone collect the data of course.
AFAIK, Netflix decided that they only were going to make 2-3 seasons at most, and only locked up talent for that long. Therefore, some behind the scenes changes after season 2-3.

I don't know whether that's still their assumption.
So you can finally own your modem? I'd consider this a feature. Shame that someone's going to patch it now..

I had a passing paralysis of paranoia. I'm not normally prone to paranoia about the CIA, but the topic is bulk surveillance, and the URL isn't exactly https://cia.gov/report/about-that-bulk-surveillance Its path is `.../63f697addbbd30a4d64432ff28bbc6d6/...pdf` Along with a half understood comment that sounded like "Relaaax everyone! No big deal. It was all about ISIL! Look at this liiiink."

Two sex workers who use crypto are interviewed and quoted by name in the article. They had their traditional bank accounts shut down. Crypto fees are discussed and solutions are proposed right in the article. It is well researched with expert interviews and sources.

One of the better researched crypto articles I've read.
Commented on another post before reading in classic HN fashion, but the environment of the committee described sounds very much like the Braintrust Pixar leadership uses to create their stories. Any leaders looking to cultivate an environment that supports that kind of productive decision making can likely find some great tactics in the book "Creativity, Inc."
No doubt there were high sales of home exercise equipment - and running became more popular.

But there were some very cautious times during lockdown. Events like Parkrun were cancelled for months on end. Loads of races were cancelled. Gyms were closed. Indoor fitness activities like dance, yoga, pilates, and aerobics were cancelled (and their online alternatives much more sparsely attended). If the place you were doing swimming/squash/tennis/golf is closed, you're out of luck. Football, hockey and basketball aren't compatible with social distancing. Neither is boxing, judo or MMA. People who commuted by foot or bike started working from home.

Running and cycling were certainly winners, but I'm certain there were a lot of losers as well.
Mercifully, shoes do not require identification before you go on a walk sans phone.
