I love table tennis. I am fiddling around trying to make a 2d table tennis simulator that is focused on tactics, I am excited to find out if it can increase IRL table-tennis skill.
I've sadly had a similar experience with System 76's Pop Shell[0]. That said I suspect graphical workloads and applications designed around conventional sizes and aspec ratios are generally not well suites for TWMs.

Not at 4GHz. This stuff works in terms of percentages of the frequency in use. The higher the frequency the larger the guard bands required for any sort of practical filtering.

I'm pretty sure it won't. This act replaced the older war act on the books and we can look at history that includes governments on both sides to see evidence of its use.

I don't see a problem.

A democracy needs tools to protect itself from elements that wish to destroy it. This is one of those tools. Someone looking to overthrow democracy isn't going to not do it because they don't have this tool. We have plenty of historical examples.

Those that wish to destroy democracy don't get to whine about the tools that prevent them from destroying it. They get to be at the receiving end of these measures. The theoretical possibility of those people ever getting to use those tools for their purpose, we'll cross that bridge when we get there, hopefully never.
AR mode is tricky, and it's one of the things I need full integration for. This will take a few months to get the sensors, FPGA, etc. sorted.

So far with prototype units it was fine, but haven't tested for longer periods of time.

"Edit: you've been posting about nothing else for literally weeks now."

This is beyond parody. It's as if your moderation is purpose driven to elevate and amplify disinformation, and that actually useful, meaningful discussion has disappeared from this site.

Congratulations, HN continues its descent to utter irrelevance. Now featuring literally daily QAnon nonsense, which you never moderate or threaten bans about (even after the few reasonable users try to flag and moderate). It's incredible that every one of my comments, in response to grossly ignorant nonsense, were highly upvoted by users. Then along comes dang, enabler of alt-right QAnon horseshit.
Cheers.
There was no emergency, just a huge annoyance that could have been cleared without dictatorial powers.
They are - I read they are doing 10% EV's, with flexibility to increase that if it works well.

It seems to me the ones asking for EV are not the ones paying for it, which seems to be the problem.

> People think this kind of logic is an example of thinking, but it's actually thought suppression.

You think the kind of logic you expressed is an example of thinking, but it is literally thought suppression, because you are using it to try to get someone to stop thinking about a certain thing (following the money) and not giving them anything else to think about.
I've always have had a hard time with the Reddit comments. Misinformed is a given since we are all ready to give out our opinions at will. Right or wrong is unimportant to whomever posts as long as they post what they think. That's all over social media. I don't like it but it's part of the social media environment. But the real pain to me is the never ending wisecracks. Everyone wants to be funny. When the comments get polluted with that then they are pretty useless. Reddit comments are just full of it.

I don't think it's gotten any worse. It's just part of the make up of the community. It's DNA.
It’s pretty extreme. Brake pads every 7-10k miles.

I have the strong impression that the current fleet of LLVs are, at this point, each an individual work of patchwork art, still moving only due to the constant attention of dedicated genius grade mechanics. But that would not be possible had they not been built, intentionally, with some of the most common and vanilla parts available.

A new fleet that uses parts nothing else does will be an expensive boondoggle destined for quick sale as surplus.
Because that makes most sense to offset the fact that it also must serve everyone. Problem for postal service really isn't profitable areas, just look at delivery services. It is the unprofitable hard to reach ones. If single company was mandated to serve these too while others where allowed to pick the easy ones or even exploit the single one it would have hard time surviving.
Doesn't help that the recent redesign explicitly encourages that.
Even with those tax issues aside, there’s quite a few projects on OpenCollective (for example) that have raised tens of thousands of dollars and haven’t spent it. I think for some portion of successful open-source developers, there’s a significant mental hurdle associated with taking cash for themselves even when it’s the click of a button away.

Another issue is that if you choose the wrong node and they decide to shut down for some reason, you lose all your content.[1] There has already been precedent for this.[2] All it takes is being out of the loop for too long and missing a message announcing a shutdown/migration to lose your data. In practice this makes the largest nodes the most appealing for registering an account since their popularity gives you the highest chance of your data living on, which defeats the point of decentralization.

Also, if you're Twitter, you can afford lawyers and moderators to clean up illicit content. If you're operating a Mastodon instance, that responsibility falls on you. It's simply a question of who has more capital, human resources, and free time.[3]

Twitter being centralized means that it's unlikely that Twitter will go away in the long term. That's what would make me choose Twitter over a Mastodon instance if I wanted a public archive of something. I have to wonder what would happen if content of more and more importance started to be hosted on the Fediverse if it was subject to link rot from the nature of federalization.

Ask HN: What do you think of dropshipping?
Dropshippping [1] is hugely popular and has flooded online marketplaces. For example, Amazon and eBay are filled with dropshipped listings. Even Etsy ("handmade, craft, vintage") is swamped with dropshipped products.

Many product categories are now dominated by dropshipped products. We've all seen the same product photos listed under different "brands" by diffrent sellers with different prices - essentially the same product. Trudging through page after page of dropshipped products can be a chore.

I don't begrudge anyone running a dropshipping business, but at the same time it does feel that many dropshipping sellers do not really care for the quality of the product they sell. If there is any product differentiation it rarely goes beyond sticking a logo on the product.

Is the picture of dropshipping above a fair one?

What are you thoughts on dropshipping as a customer? What are your thoughts if you are a dropshipper?

[1] Shopify explanation of dropshipping: Dropshipping is an order fulfillment method where a store doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, the seller purchases inventory as needed from a third party—usually a wholesaler or manufacturer—to fulfill orders.
Stop/go is perfect for EV, although I think rural areas are not a good choice.

Maybe they should do a mix: EV urban, and gas rural.
Thank you for this! This is something that is really really important to me and my wife. We have seen some horrible consequences in our parents' generation from porn addictions. I also had an addiction to it, but thankfully I am free now. My biggest desire as a father is that my children would grow up addiction free. Boys are exposed to porn when they are simply unable to understand what it is, what sex is, and what the price of the short-term pleasure is. I know I was. I hate what happened to me, I hate what I did, but I felt like I had to do it.

Oh, didn't cross my mind. I think you are right and I probably misinterpreted the comment. My brain went straight to it being about running out of power and causing jams, probably because it was such a common fear with regards to EVs (and still is to an extent, CC Bill Gates and Porsche/Tesla in 2020).

I'm sorry, GGP.
The point about a lynching is it is a message. Imagine the power dynamic between a black man and a white man in the south, when the black man knows that the white man can murder him and get away with it.

This particular lynching was obviously not the only proof of this reality in the decade.

If you have a surface level understanding of a problem and don't understand the proposed solution, then the best path forward is to dig a little deeper and understand the problem better, or just move on with your life and accept that you can't know everything about every field.

Deciding that your surface level understanding of the problem coupled with some general concepts (ie money is often a driving factor), is enough to make a confident pronouncement on the issue is exactly self-inflicted thought suppression.

One of the biggest problems with managing bushfire in Australia is having the fire "jump the line". Where embers fly ahead of the main fire, starting spot fires that unless dealt with just extend the reach of the fire. Currently a lot of spot fire management is attempted using helicopters with water buckets, but this is both expensive and bloody dangerous. Being able to use semi disposable drones could assist dramatically.

There are however a number of problems I can see that this approach will have to overcome.

- You need to preposition the drone in such a way that it can remain charged and also is protected from any potential bush fire before it's utilised. This could be achieved with a fire protected, solar powered shelter, but this significantly increases the cost. Maybe they could be deployed from a long duration aircraft?

- The airspace around a bush fire is a particularly hostile environment. I'm not seeing the average off the shelf drone deal with smoke, particles and embers and still function effectively. Also the sensor package will have to deal with restricted view as well as reduced GPS/Radio caused by smoke/firestorm interference.

That said, this system could be very effective in dealing with smaller locations, close to built up areas where you can target deployment for those high risk fire ban periods.

It was pretty clear during the protest that the Ottawa police were unable or unwilling to tackle the protest. Given the breakdown in the ability to restore order, most Canadians agree that the emergency was warranted.

Using the phrase "dictatorial powers" to describe a bill explicitly designed to balance rights and forward action is incindiary language.
Your claim is baseless. But even if we entertain this is true, it puts automakers in the perfect place to rent seek and rake in profits. It takes ownership away from the individual. It's wasteful as perfectly good cars could become un-repairable that would otherwise have a longer life.

Plus, if right to repair was enforced for all cars, you can still operate the same way and only get repairs from the dealer. Only cheaper as they'll have to compete with other mechanics now.
Most rural delivery is handled by contractors who use their own vehicles, I believe.

I would love for these trucks to be EV’s as much as anyone, but I can see where USPS is coming from. Some selected quotes from the article:

The USPS did say that it plans to put 5000 electric delivery trucks into service starting in 2023 and claims that there is room for more EVs to be added to the mix "should additional funding become available."

“While we can understand why some who are not responsible for the financial sustainability of the Postal Service might prefer that the Postal Service acquire more electric vehicles, the law requires the Postal Service to be self-sufficient,” a USPS spokesperson told the Post in a statement.

Armchair take: If the EPA really wants these changes, they should be lobbying higher up the food chain in order to subsidize these EV’s in some way.
Irrespective of the larger argument; I mean many TOS are unethical and/or shouldn't carry moral weight. If it was one company sure, don't use it. But the majority of companies (web or otherwise) have excessive and dense TOS to which the average person cannot give informed consent to anyways.

> and all I can think of is that damned SD card...

I'm having some better experiences with SD cards marketed as "high endurance". Another trick I've been doing is to mount /var/log as tmpfs. If they crash when they run out of space, I let them restart themselves.
And if you send something to a remote area, UPS and FedEx will themselves delegate to USPS precisely because it's not profitable to develop the infrastructure to service remote populations.
Its shameful that Dejoy is still allowed to ruin the USPS.
> You will eventually get hit by someone posting selfies on instagram or playing their friends in wordle.

You will eventually get hit by someone who punishment passes you and is dangerously negligent because they've dehumanized you, and they just don't care if they do violence to you, and its you're fault because you're slow.

Or you will get hit by people who simply don't register bikes and consciously or unconsciously think that bicyclists must yield to cars, sometimes turning left in front of you with no time for you to stop.

Or you will get right hooked by someone who just passed you a second earlier and that is too long for their minds to track the fact that you're still there, or they again think they're entitled to drive however they want and you need to yield to whatever they do.
I've heard a lot about Integromat, but in the worst way. Not a fan [1] of services that appear to spam me with adverts or their competitors spamming me with adverts to make them look bad.

On the topic of the name - 'Make', to me as a developery-person sounds like a code system (because of GNU make) or some electronics/hacker type thing ('maker' as in 'makerspace'). But I imagine people who know what GNU make is aren't the target market.

Yeah, we should definitely put out small fires in August and let (or force) bigger ones to burn in March.

If you want a community without bad actors, bigots, cranks, etc, then it has to have rules and moderation, which means censorship. If you want free speech, you're going to get the bigots, cranks and bad actors. "Speak(ing) and think(ing) in a relatively free and neutral sense without ending up in some ulterior trap" requires curation and tone policing, which is censorship. Otherwise, the bigots and the cranks are also free to speak and think in the same way as everyone else, ruin the community and drive everyone else away.

> When the NYPD have a guess at who did around 30% of murders

This is false.

NYC homicide clearance rates for 2021 look to be over 70% for the year, with Q4 2021 at 78%. (worst quarter - 55%, best - 86%).

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/stats/reports-analysis/cleara...

> In fact, the vast majority of police are assigned to tasks like traffic enforcement

NYPD is not known exactly known for a particularly large amount of traffic enforcement, to the point that I think you'd find most residents wish they did more of it.
> the police somehow got said evidence after the person left, and they know the person's identity

Yes. The police often show up after a crime has been committed and the suspect is long gone. If their investigation turns up clear evidence (a witness who knows the person, surveillance footage, etc) then they might be able to issue a warrant for that person.
Maybe all those anti-porn "extremists" have a point.

Another false positive that gives them invasive permissions into people's private lives. This is how they think.
I was thinking the same thing. What happened? I started programming on machines with 16K of memory or less. It was a point of pride for developers to make programs that did the most with less, like the whole demoscene movement. It's like the contest changed from who can make the leanest code to who can get away with packaging the most bloat in one app without causing the device to break. We went from shaving off individual machine instructions to packaging entire browsers with super-simple apps.
GPS is incapable of getting even close to the resolution required from radar altimeter, and altitude ranging in GPS was always worse than its circular error probable in 2d - and the best accepted dynamic, unaided GPS deviation is big enough to show the same result between correct landing, missed landing, and a fiery crash.

The problem is that radar altimeter is very precise device that for best precision needs to use all of its 200MHz bandwidth on transmit. And there are no methods to recognize that as part of the return in its own 200MHz band (or in the guard band) a random CDMA-encoded signal radiated outside of allocated spectrum (happens) reflected of random crap around the airport and gets interpreted as valid data. This is an analog system where the analog characteristics are core to how it works, so the methods that allow tight channel spacing in communications tech do not work for radar altimeters
Note that this is at the order of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who was appointed to the post by Trump in 2020. The same one who slowed down the mail service around the election and is the founder CEO of XPO logistics, which is a huge conflict of interest. The Biden administration directed USPS to go electric, but they are quasi-independent.
Is it just me or is their demo video flickering?
Give me a break. If the admin wants the postal service to go EV, pay for it. The very fact that the USPS remains solvent under the conditions they are forced to operate is a damn miracle. Put up or shut up.
Again, with regenerative braking, something else that EVs are also better at :)

This is the thin end of the wedge fallacy. It's disproportionate to load of the possible extreme outcomes of a - true - idea on that idea. The idea is fine. Other things you list that are bad and not that idea are not fine.
It seems to be a loop of information from which there is no way out, that devours the information and stirs it among piles of garbage that it generates without stopping. Labyrinth and crypt at the same time, growing and churning more all the time. I think we have to start a serious effort to collect and save the human creation, otherwise it will become a hidden treasure buried among layers of artificial garbage. Imagine, if it can be difficult for us to distinguish the human content from the synthetic, how will it be for future generations who will not even have the living context of our time? And who will already be more accustomed to these synthetic contents than to the properly human ones.

(I wonder when software engineers will more commonly think about their work on a generational time scale. Like how the cathedral builders of old must have thought about their work...)
Another perspective is that we idolize many prominent/famous people and when they have a normal range of emotions (fear, anger, disgust, resentment, frustration, etc.), or just having a bad day, we judge them for it.
EV or not, why is it so fuel inefficient?
re: manufacturing. They’re only looking at buying 150k trucks. Even Tesla (famously more valued than their output) has a run rate of over a million per year now. So I’m not thinking that’s really an issue.

The cost/time to bring up a production line for just these trucks doesn’t seem like it should be cheaper if their gas either. If anything, sharing a ‘skateboard’ with a delivery van or something would make it even easier.
How did they secure the fiber? IIRC back then it was hard to get decent (especially non-backdoored) hardware encryption solutions @ high network throughput.

I wonder if anyone spliced fiber, MITM'd disk replication, made bank and got away with it...
