I’m not sure your critique of v6 to v7 migration is fair. Im sure v6 continued to work fine on that old version of chrome. But it seems perfectly reasonable for developers to be compensated for writing new code to work with new versions with new requirements.

I also feel I should be realistic about the incentive structure. I want 1password to continually work on security, additional features, and quality of life stuff. That requires steady income.

As to your local vault concerns. I think you have a really valid point.
An edge case like that isn't really the point. I mean, what percentage of "responses to old comments" fall into that bucket? My guess is that it's a very small percentage. Weighed against the "propagating / encouraging low-value flame wars" possibility, I absolutely consider the lack of such notifications to a Good Thing.

Especially considering somebody who's particularly motivated to find delayed answers to specific questions can always bookmark the particular comment and check it manually, or just occasionally scroll-back through the "threads" page or whatever. If they're not motivated enough to do that, then maybe the discussion wasn't that important to begin with.

That wave chart was atrocious. I wonder if the extra load on the DC-side caps leads to them having lower life expectancy than the ones in a PSU attached to a proper power grid?

Question for the mods:

In the old days I don’t remember as much political / world news allowed.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

But I’ve seen more types of TV news stories going through, like stories about political protests, stories about politics in Eastern Europe, free speech debates, etc.

Without getting into the details of each particular submission I’m curious if you think the submission standards have remained consistent throughout the years or if your curation philosophy has changed at all and if so, in what ways?

P.S. Thanks for all you do as mods and for making HN an a valuable and unique community. It’s awesome to go to a thread and see helpful links or comments that enhance the conversation.
They could also report this behavior to the appropriate regulators and let them handle the enforcement. Maybe they'll take their time, but they will get there.

In the end this is not a technical problem but a juristical one.
Hmmh, but what about global state for the 99% of users who do have JavaScript enabled? If I navigate to a page on a Remix app, and then hit the back button, does Remix do some trickery to maintain global state so that things such as scroll position are not broken?

I can't wait for https://www.deso.org/ to take off, not just for the value of the coin to increase, but to see lots of nodes taking over the responsibility of twitter/fb/youtube etc's what's okay and what's not.

Gravity is higher, which is important for Humans. Also the resources are more diverse. And you can study Mars better from the surface of Mars than from the surface of the Moon (duh...).

I'm not a massive fan of Mars colonization. But I do get the appeal of getting manned missions there. Some science really can't be done as well or cheaply by robots alone. Though even with Humans on board, much of the work will be done by robots anyway.
It would be more accurate to compare JMAP to IMAP and SMTP, which have been around for forty years, and I think it's reasonable for me to calibrate forward looking expectations based on more recent protocols (such as JMAP). It would be wasteful to not consider increased utility from improved protocols currently in production for similar use cases.

Higher level, Google won't be around forever in its current form, so I think its reasonable to champion open standards and portability versus lock in to an org whose incentives between itself and its users is not that great. If you want to use a new Gmail version, great! If not, and Google doesn't offer ongoing support of a web version you're partial to, you can port out to another provider, just like a mobile phone provider.

Pretty awesome project really! As a sidenote: A bunch of the ML training and edge deployment magic is done via https://edgeimpulse.com which seems to make it much more accessible to build such a thing.
There's no way to slow down, true.

Let's see... Neptune's orbital diameter 8.3 light hours.

At 10% c (speed of light) you would need 83 hours. Yes, insane speed, yet hopefully enough time to take quite a few pictures.

Also the plan is not to send a single "disc", but many (thousands?). Together they could potentially provide a treasure trove of data from within the alien solar system.
I didn’t prescribe a specific regulation, in fact, I simply said that the issue is the externalities not the source, so that’s where energy should be focused.

I think it’s naive to assume banning the storefronts fixes the externality. The real source is people wanting delivery. What if we don’t fix the courier traffic because everyone moves from dark storefront delivery to UberEat style apps that order shopping+delivery from non-dark storefronts?

Or what if apps form deals with local stores to make hybrid in person / delivery storefronts, giving us the same externalities but non-dark storefronts?

I just wish they'd fix the performance. The bizarre thing is that it used to be fast while offering more or less the same functionality with more or less the same interface, and it's actually regressed. I'm not sure what on earth they have done, but they're doing something objectively wrong.

> It is trying. Yahoo tried to acquire Google too, remember?

The success rate doesn't need to be 100% for my point to be valid.

WhatsApp and Instagram could very well have eaten Facebook's lunch. Now FB is being threatened for the first time by TikTok, why? Because they're a Chinese company and FB can't simply buy them due to Chinese regulations!

Also consider this: in an idealised, perfect free market, every company is just barely breaking even, because as soon as they're making a profit it means it's possible to undercut them. (Bezos: "Your margin is my opportunity").

The existence of massive liquidity in the hands of some companies is itself evidence of inefficiency.

> Not per se, but history shows that even the most entrenched monopolies are very prone to disruption. I don't see any non-banks in the Fortune 100 that are over a century old.

Poor evidence, since antitrust action was very strong in the USA for most of the 20th century.

> First we would have to agree on what "net negative" means, agree that our vision of what to do about it would improve the situation, and agree that we have a right to take such an intervention. Do you see where the problem is?

Yes, people can disagree on what their preferred society looks like. That's the fundamental problem of politics. But that disagreement can include the exact value of freedom.

I personally rate freedom very high, yet the restraint "if you manage to build a trillion-dollar company, you must not make it unnecessarily hard for others to develop better products than yours" sounds like a slam-dunk kind of sacrifice for the sake of a more efficient innovation-oriented market.

Walking outside is a pleasure. You cut it out of your day and within a week you'll start to feel depression.

Or you won't feel it, but everyone around you (or not around you, ha) will notice as you slowly become a useless blob glued to a screen.

Sometimes this sort of stuff just makes me want to turn off the Internet at the wall.
> The innovation is in the data, not in the ML.

can't you kind of say this about all ML? That the main driver in ML is 99% the quality of the training data and 1% the specific details of the neural networks used?
But this address space is non-routable, so it's effectively using address space that's equivalent to a 10/8 or 172/12 or 192.168/16 address. There's no need to grab random /8s when there is plenty of IPv4 address space that won't ever get routed to the internet (assuming nobody does something as dumb as actually changing the 127/8 semantics). If they somehow run out of those, 100.64/10 is also pretty much guaranteed not to be reachable from the internet.
Last time I checked (which is a while at this point, pre SSD) nearly all consumer drives and even most enterprise drives would lie in response to commands to flush the drive cache. Working on a storage appliance at the time, the specifics of a major drive manufacturer's secret SCSI vendor page knock to actually flush their cache was one of the things on their deepest NDAs. Apparently ignoring cache flushing was so ubiquitous that any drive manufacturer looking to have correct semantics would take a beating in benchmarks and lose marketshare. : \

So, as of about 2014, any difference here not being backed by per manufacturer secret knocks or NDAed, one-off drive firmware was just a magic show, with perhaps Linux at least being able to say "hey, at least the kernel tried and it's not our fault". The cynic in me thinks that the BSDs continuing to define fsync() as only hitting the drive cache is to keep a semantically clean pathway for "actually flush" for storage appliance vendors to stick on the side of their kernels that they can't upstream because of the NDAs. A sort of dotted line around missing functionality that is obvious 'if you know to look for it'.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Apple's NVME controller is the only drive you can easily put your hands on that actually does the correct things on flush, since they're pretty much the only ones without the perverse market pressure to intentionally not implement it correctly.

Since this is getting updoots: Sort of in defense of the drive manufacturers (or at least stating one of the defenses I heard), they try to spec out the capacitance on the drive so that when the controller gets a power loss NMI, they generally have enough time to flush then. That always seemed like a stretch for spinning rust (the drive motor itself was quite a chonker in the watt/ms range being talked about particularly considering seeks are in the 100ms range to start with, but also they have pretty big electrolytic caps on spinning rust so maybe they can go longer?), but this might be less of a white lie for SSDs. If they can stay up for 200ms after power loss, I can maybe see them being able to flush cache. Gods help those HMB drives though, I don't know how you'd guarantee access to the host memory used for cache on power loss without a full system approach to what power loss looks like.

There's a whole concept of responsible disclosure[1] in white-hat security research that involves notifying the company and then notifying the public after giving the company a chance to fix the bug.

It's generally understood to be the most ethical approach.

We're talking past each other. I agree with you 100%, irregardless of my point above.
> we need a completely new experience for the next generation

I mean, at some point, if you're (say) using some insane amount of storage, you're going to pay for that.

I would agree that getting alerting right for billing-relevant events at whatever you're currently operating at should be a lot easier than it is. And I agree that there is a lot of room to baby-proof some of the less obvious mistakes that people frequently make, to better expose the consequences of some changes, etc.

But the flip side is that infra has always been expensive, and vendors have always been more than happy to sell you far more than you need along with the next new shiny whatever.

To the extent that these are becoming implicit decisions made by developers rather than periodic budgeted refresh events built by infra architects, developers need to take responsibility for understanding the implications of what they're doing.
I on the other hand really am excited.

Apple devices turn into expensive ewaste when a country gets sanctioned by the US. There are millions of apple phones in Iran, that can't do anything other than browse the web.

There are millions of talented developers in the world that have to avoid iOS because of the $100 fee.

Anyway I'm really really really excited for being able to use a general computer as a general computer.

Nuking the core is neither sufficient nor necessary for the magnetosphere. Not sufficient because all of the nukes together are orders of magnitude too little to melt it, not necessary because a spinning ball of liquid metal is a really inefficient way to make a magnet.

IIRC one of the plans for an artificial magnetosphere for Mars only needed a 1 GW supply to the magnetic coil.

It's very hard to define specific political content as separate from technology.

I remember a single Covid scientific paper turning into a 500 post political discussion.

Or tech giants and censorship and privacy. How does one separate tech from politics in this sense?

Maybe society has become more political and it's making it's way to link aggregator sites?

I appreciate the repost. It's quite timely for me, because I had recently been reading and participating in a post about HN's apparent toxicity. This has helped me to gain some more perspective on the topic. Especially about how moderation is done. I'm really impressed by the moderators, I honestly had no idea how many people were moderating HN or how they did things. I admire the patience and care it sounds like they put into the community.
The alternative is non-Apple phones.
Several of those are clearly ripping off assets from Windows minesweeper. Which is worse than mimicking gameplay. There's also no Wordle iOS app either, just a website.

Apple also happily accepted 2048 which is pretty much a straight up clone of the earlier Threes.
FTA: That entropy comes from sources like interrupt timing for various kinds of devices (e.g. disk, keyboard, network) and hardware RNGs if they are available.

So yes, Linux can use hardware RNGs. Your second question probably is better stated as whether those can generate random bits at a sufficient rate. I would expect hardware RNGs of being capable of that for typical use cases.

"But if we are actually honest, most of those are not deployed. Most grid batteries deployed today are still Li-Ion"

Because the price of lithium was low enough, to not bother. Now that has changed, so they will become broadly avaiable very soon. And it is not like there is any technological brakethrough required. You can build and order them today. It is more about adopting production processes to it, to make them cheaper than lithium based batteries.
But I heard the argument too often, that batteries are not a solution, because of rare earth elements, which is why I brought it up.

"Yes, but all those things come at a cost. "

And yes, they do. The price for renewables is a massive investment in the grid. And the price for nuclear is safety. As far as I know, no private insurance company is willing to take that risk, which is why the states have to step in.

The worst thing that can happen with batteries is a fire (and most saltwater based batteries are actually quite fire proof)

The worst thing that can happen with a swimming nuclear plant is widespread contamination for decades.

It is still advised against eating too many mushrooms or boar meat in my area (central europe), because of one incident 35 years ago, happening 1000 km away.
This claim was recently made by one of the Chinese Olympians, but it is not true. VPNs were made illegal in 2017, and since 2021 China has been clamping down hard on their own citizens using VPNs to bypass the great firewall, while looking the other way for foreign nationals. The CCP does not send everyone to jail who uses a VPN, but they have the authority to do so if they see fit.
There’s a huge number of leads in the search for markers. It’s just that nobody is talking about it. I’ve never met a lay person who had any clue of what’s going on in the space
I'm positively certain that in all of your examples people have pushed into new areas because of food, to find new land to live on, to find riches, to find the promised land or other mythological reasons. Somehow I don't imagine aborigines crossing the ocean because "it's cool".

You know what we're going to find on Mars? Rocks. A whole lot of radiation. No breathable atmosphere and freezing temperatures.

Imagine the most hellish place on Earth - that's still better for humans than the most pleasant place on Mars.

Would it be "cool" to stand on Mars? To stand on another planet? Of course it would. And I firmly believe that we should continue our planetary explanation - but making plans for human habitation on Mars when we haven't even been back to the Moon in 50+ years is literally just stupid. Put a base there, learn how to make it self sufficient and then let's talk about Mars.
Funny you say this. But a prominent Elm core dev is developing something along this line. https://www.roc-lang.org/. Basically server side Elm.

If you think Apple is doing this because they care about you, gentle user, then you will get burned, eventually, probably really badly, and you won't even have any kind of inkling as to why or how you could have avoided it.

Behind the cutesy facade is a rapacious, consumer-hostile monster. The facade is paper-thin, and it's only a matter of time until you rub it the wrong way and it flakes off, then the monster will eat your money and anything you've entrusted to it. Apple products eat people's data, hungrily and mercilessly, then the company blames you when it loses it.

It will get the world hooked on their fashionable products then make them less and less usable. Those little mini-stereo to lightning dongles are the worst-made products imaginable. Guess what you can get a mini-stereo port on? An iPod Touch. Very brave, Apple.

Instead of offering developers a real userland, you get forced onto zsh because Apple would rather die than ship GPL later than v2.

Don't get it twisted, Apple hates you, and loves only money. It's only a matter of time until each and every Apple user is taught that.
Hmmm... I'm skeptical. Not necessarily because I don't think that pneumonia could be detected by testing VOCs in breath, but because I'm currently working on a project that uses sensors to do breath analysis and my amateur research has informed me that it's fairly hard to get right (which is why my primary goal is to identify deltas rather than achieve numerical accuracy).

For one, VOCs can be present in breath for other reasons besides some sort of infection in the lung, and VOCs are incredibly hard to differentiate with just a sensor. The fact that they tend to be faint in human breath even at their highest (in contrast to O2 and CO2) doesn't help. Even the most expensive PID sensors for VOCs (they get up into the several hundreds a pop) can't really tell you whether the predominant gas is acetone or alcohol or acetaldehyde or hydrogen sulfide. So you've got to figure out whether the presence of VOCs is truly an anomaly and not just a part of ketosis. In which case you will also need to measure at least VeO2 to see whether the VOCs correspond with the Respiratory Quotient.

The "e-nose" project, as described on the MakeZine article, doesn't appear to do that. It does have an alcohol sensor. But these sensors aren't particularly sophisticated. They use semiconductors with heating elements to detect the presence of gases, and there is almost certainly some overlap between the alcohol and VOCs sensors.

If VOCs are produced by pneumonia, then yes, it's conceivable that even just the VOCs sensor alone would detect this. But can this group of sensors used in the e-nose differentiate pneumonia from catabolism?

Maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After all, this thing uses AI. And maybe AI can recognize something that a human can't by simply looking at a line graph. I dunno... Such things should be tested against known inputs before being suggested to diagnose anything.

If the major concern is the UI, not the Gmail server, using another email client (desktop email client) is an easier solution. There is a big gap between using another client and setting up a new email server altogether.

An alternative may be also paying another email provider, and probably setting up your own domain name for it, for easier migration eventually.
