I don't mean to be confrontational, but as an American with websites in the US- why would I care? The most basic tenet of sovereignty is that a country's laws stop at their border, unless otherwise agreed in a treaty. I may be violating GPDR, I may be violating some Internet content laws in Zimbabwe and Cambodia as well, but laws don't cross borders.

Just as an example off the top of my head- in Thailand, it's illegal to insult their king. Would anyone here refrain from posting anti-Thai monarch content on their website, in fear of breaking the laws in Thailand? If not, why would I care about GPDR? Imagine what a non-sequitur it would be if if someone told an American employer based here in the states, that you're violating EU employment law. By definition it.... doesn't apply.

I do understand that if I ran a business with European customers, I would need to be in compliance with EU law- I get that- but genuinely confused why I would care otherwise. Are your websites in compliance with Zimbabwean Internet law?
Unfortunately I don't think Lenovo has the market dominance and/or desire that IBM had in the early 80s with the PC to make their ARM platform the de-facto standard, which means this is going to be yet another of many proprietary platforms whose only thing in common is the instruction set. This is no doubt going to be very different from Apple's ARM platform, for example. Even the next model or revision might have some things completely different.

I still remember the days when "IBM PC compatible" meant (at the very least, a desire to) something.

If Lenovo releases the schematics and detailed architecture reference like IBM did with the PC, they might start another PC revolution; but I doubt they will.
Something about that well-regulated militia I guess. But if you’re worried about a horde of crazed Canucks attacking from the north, no problem. Just give them the Stanley Cup and they’ll go home.

If this is a legitimate question, which I doubt, it’s better phrased about the views of Canadians and Mexicans on gun control as the US serves as Russia in this scenario.
It wasn't awarded. It was just filed by Apple (in August). It's likely in the review process now. It might be awarded, but patent applications get rejected every single day so this one might as well.
Your contact is in a besieged city 100 miles away. They have WhatsApp or Signal and want to send you a message. Are you suggesting the journalist shouldn't have a smartphone that contact could contact you on?

I've read a terrifying short story about that once. It was about a man that never died. The universe just grew ever more unlikely and absurd around him due to quantum immortality.

> Move humanity from focusing on military pacts to economic/aid pacts and focus on human rights.

That assumes a lot of trust between all nations, their leaders and potential future leaders. A military alliance is just the manifestation of stronger bond between particular nations. With humans being the way they currently are I don't see this being realistic without larger societal changes around the world.
Because great companies can be bought for pennies on the dollar? It’s irrelevant now because they’re trying to prevent foreigners from selling and the sanctions are probably going to get worse but if I was a Russian with good savings I would probably buy. It’s unlikely that there will be any actual war in Russia itself which means the aluminum plants pipelines etc should be fine (although maybe limited in who they can trade with).

Depends how much UNIX you consider Linux distributions to be.
Invoking the image of nazis is also a dog whistle directed at primarily older Russians. During WWII some Ukrainian forces initially joined the invading Nazi forces against the Soviet Union, which given how the Soviets treated Ukraine maybe made sense at the time.

Ever since then the memory of this “betrayal” has been kept alive in Russian culture. There’s no greater enemy than nazis, so the image of a Nazi Ukrainian oppressing Russians is a powerful one. Utter and complete bullshit propaganda of course, but it’s not an accident that Putin uses this particular image.

The fact that Zelenskiy is a Russian speaking Jew is, I guess, either not widely known in Russia or not considered sufficient proof of his innocence…
Tesla has been a huge proponent of the 4680 and rely on Panasonic for a huge number of batteries. I doubt they will supply them exclusively to Tesla but the vast majority will likely go there since no other EV platform (that I'm aware of) is ready to accommodate 4680s.
> Probably browsers will remove it anyway and deal with EU in court if they make a stink about it.

That doesn't sound like a sad state of affairs to you? It's like responding to the PATRIOT act by saying "Probably tech companies will refuse to comply and deal with the federal government in court if they make a stink about it."
Yeah but you can constantly get deals on the new MacBook Air for ~$850. It’s just such an amazingly good and affordable laptop.
All you guys feigning ignorance , it's gross.

I think the question is obvious, are you more supportive of lessening gun control after seeing Russia invade its neighbor Ukraine, because a heavily armed population is going to be harder to take over.

Why would the guns be unregistered, your response doesn't make any sense.
Doesn't the process of removing the banner imply that the original software has been modified?

(under that line of thinking, the network is the computer (computation is taking place in a distributed manner))
It’s absolutely delusional to think that armed citizens could contend with a modernized military, especially in the US. That time has passed.

Take for example how well BLM protestors managed against lightly militarized police—and they get scrap compared to current military tech.

This argument may make sense in less developed nations but it’s time for legislation in the US to wake up to the 21st century.

I think circadian lighting will take off soon - something like Phillips Hue but cheaper, simpler, and much brighter bulbs (for simulating daylight). Set and forget for bright morning / day and dim amber at night with simple physical controls for overrides (if you’re having a late night party or something).
Me too.

Reading other comments, it appears once again that it's unfortunate that date designates both a reference to a particular day, and a romantic encounter.
> I think it's about history books and status. Nobody will read about the billionaire that funded think tanks. They'll read about the one that got people to Mars first. That's my best guess, anyway.

A place in history might be a component of the motivation, but I think the core reason is simpler. In his eyes, nobody was taking the idea remotely seriously or actually trying to accomplish it, which was largely true — the closest anybody ever got prior to SpaceX was a bunch of handwaving around paper rockets. Certainly no company made it their flagship goal, and even if NASA had technically at some point, whiplash from changing presidential administrations and being so married to traditional aerospace contractors whose primary interest was keeping the money flowing tied NASA’s hands and feet on the matter.

> Because it's so clearly obvious that going multi-planetary in 100 years will be vastly cheaper for us and there is no way any of this math makes sense to do it now unless you just want to do it for coolness sake or maybe, MAYBE, inspiring young people will get us to 100 years from now faster.

Not necessarily. Technology doesn’t improve on its own, particularly when it’s highly specialized. For there to be leaps in launch and spacefaring technology, some entity (preferably multiple entities) have to be pushing it, and to make progress at a decent pace not be afraid to stray from the path of the well-known. Crewed spaceflight stagnated for a whopping 40ish years thanks to it getting put on a back burner last time, what’s to stop it from getting stuck for a whole century, or in the worst case getting left behind entirely as the can continually gets kicked down the road?

Musk has spoken about this in the past, with concern that the window we have now may not be around forever, and how without someone pushing progress on making crewed spaceflight and settlements beyond Earth’s surface commonplace, it may end up never happening, and I think that concern is warranted.
Of course the company has the option, that’s not the issue at hand. The issue is that the post above is equating being forced to work in an office with being forced to work with other employees that work from home, and it’s not a valid comparison.

I also find it strange that he'd push something like this from prison and somewhat question how strong his recommendations are given he's been cut off from the digital world for several years. But I know nothing about the app.
The difference is that private companies don’t have the power to force me to do anything - the government can forcible take away my property and liberty.
“stopping people from doing what they want with their own devices.”

I’m guessing you don’t use toasters or Nintendos either then, because you can’t do what you want with those.

The tired arguments you trot out have been covered to death. You are a hyper niche use case, pretending the general users feels like you do is delusional.
Hm, this seems to work incorrectly. The login website of https://www.personio.de/login/ after you specify a company to login for does load Google Fonts and those do not show up in the results as violation or at all.
“This app does not not steal user data.”
This is because major countries with their own currencies do not like having dollarized economies. Trade with the west could be done in BTC because there is no blanket prohibition on business with Russia just mostly their financial institutions. Promoting CIPS is probably the best option.
I moved back from a Linux zealot into Windows, because the day-to-day annoyances of the OS running on Laptops, and for graphics programming, are much more berable on Windows.

Running Linux on VMs since 2012, since VMWare made it painless to do so.
> It's weird how the whole "you need to keep your users' data safe and not collect more than is necessary" is such a controversial topic for some on HN.

I think it stems from a long lawless time online where everyone was free to aggressively exploit everyone else. The fact that such behaviour is becoming frowned upon is something that we should expect will generate some friction. That said, I also find it hard to empathise with.
Ukraine Call for Hackers
I'm an American translator/interpreter who used to live in Chernihiv, now fled with my family to an undisclosed location.

There is a collective of Ukrainian/international IT folk doing their best to make Russia's existence as difficult as possible. They are looking for as much help as they can get.

I am sharing a link to the Telegram group - IT ARMY of Ukraine - in the hopes that some of you would have the desire/ability to contribute.

Link: https://t.me/itarmyofukraine2022

Most of the communication is in Ukrainian, but they translate important messages into passable English (and things like lists of Russian server IPs don't really require translation).

I've read Hacker News for ages, but I'm not sure how responses work here. If you have any questions or need help translating, I will be happy to help. Trying to do what I can while I watch these fuckers drop cluster munitions on villages near my former home.

Disclaimer: I cannot speak to the legality of the methods they are employing and would encourage anyone trying to help to make their own decisions and research their own local laws.

Слава Україні - Glory to Ukraine, and stop this war.

Thanks for your time. Sorry if I abused or misused this forum.
Another vote for Peopleware. It felt like it was written for a prior era, and that's when I read it in the early 2000s!

But then you realize that the fundamentals of being a good engineering manager are the same regardless of the technologies you're using and building.

The First 90 Days by Michael Watkins is an amazing book for anyone getting into management and then again whenever you move roles/companies.
I'm also a huge Ecco fan and definitely understand your motivation for creating Crossline, but the particular features you mention aren't really ones where org-mode is currently lacking, especially given org-roam.

Where I think org-mode is still somewhat lacking compared to Ecco is in being able to display the same item in multiple places in an outline and be able to edit any one of them (as well as the whole column UI for setting that up easily). But there are solid moves in that direction, e.g., the org-transclusion package is now pretty decent. There's also another more recent one whose name escapes me.
Who will pay them if no one pays for their content?
Fwiw, I work in the sector and track the TCO comparisons for business modeling. Unless there’s a major shift (ex. Resurgence of tax rebates), you’re looking at 2025-2026 being the sweet spot where EVs will have plentiful options and actually make sense financially for most people instead of keeping a used ICE car.
They have Putin’s justice. Disagree with Putin and you go to jail.
>has only a fragmentary picture of what's going on in the outside world, based on the little they can discuss openly during visits

And his fragmentary picture includes app recommendations? Skepticism seems like the right call, even though he has a very good reason for his years of silence.
Thanks for the corrections.

What my original statement meant to convey was not simply disagreement with GDPR, but more that two somewhat unrelated edge case decisions ("do 'just' IP addresses count as PII", and "can one work with American suppliers") gave this regulation a scope that I believe wasn't even intended by the original lawmakers (as evident by their own failure to be compliant, see other comment thread), and that very much goes against the realities of the Internet of the past 25 years.

That being said, your corrections are valid and give a more precise description of the situation rather than my initial comment.
Don't think Turkish drones are war profiteering considering how much utility they've had in the current war and in the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict. Maybe you're not aware, but Ukraine has been dealing with war since 2014. This is probably the worst example you could have used since TB-2s are both incredibly practical and extremely cost efficient compared to most Western military equipment Ukraine would have purchased instead.
To protect against military actions vs Russia, certainly. To keep his throne, it comes down to what those actually in charge of the button will do and the repair state of the gadgets. It also comes down to whether you view his actions as rational re Ukraine.

Perhaps another kind of gas is of concern, if those weapons and mopp gear remain?
Like the Linux problems on Dell XPS models?
I built a Cross-LFS setup for my SGI Indy, some 10+ years ago. It was an awesome experience that took about a whole week due to the Indy's 150 MHz CPU and only 128 megs of RAM. But it was totally worth it :)
So...

"Eradicating poverty" may be a little more opaque than one might think, and context matters a lot. If you live an isolated peasant existence, is poverty nonexistent or is it universal? Is a person living in a shared room tenement "living like a prince" because elements of his material existence are similar to medieval castle life... or does the prince or pauper question have a social/cultural/class element to it

Homelessness is less opaque. If you narrow the discussion to this, than there are possible answer. IMO yes, there are plenty of examples/evidence of homelessness being more and less prevalent. You can find both in poor, rich, urban or rural environments.

Homelessness is probably never literally eradicated, but 0.1X is achievable, and you can find such 10X discrepancies between different cities, countries, decades and whatever else you might accept as existence proof .

I don't think it's possible to "cost seriously" though, at least not fully. These aren't usually the kind of policies that are only or even mostly about direct funding. They also take time, decades, to develop.
> based in other jurisdictions.

Instead of this we can just say "the US" and only because of local laws and hyper-invasive corporate culture.
A prepared account for them is no good either. It could be a special account, makes the app work differently and all their review is for a manipulated test scenario.
From that article:

> The intervention did not employ foreign ground troops.

I'm no military theorist, but "foreign boots on the ground" is the lay-person's definition of an "invasion". Absent that, it could have been a war, a police action, a military intervention, or a bombing campaign, but it wasn't an "invasion".
It's just internet points :-) I knew most wouldn't get the joke, but that was part of the joke.
Soviet Union killed millions and Putin wants to restore it. He is killing thousands more and could kill millions if he wins.

Russia is aggressor, not a victim.

So are you saying that large companies operate with a 100% profit margin?

Outside a tweet, even from the official source, there's no way there's more than an idea to rally the followers at this point. The account is useful for some announcements but in my opinion we need to accept it's also a kind of propaganda during war.
The difference is that governments have a monopoly on violence. Corporations don't.
Model S and X use 18650s manufactured in Japan. Maybe this is some long term plan to transition some unannounced vehicles to 4680?

>If it’s statistically going to die soon I feel like there’s a large risk of getting stranded somewhere.

If you're in North America are you really going to be 'stranded' or just footing the cost of a one-way rental and waiting for the check from the junkyard which will almost certainly cover it?

The car glut will be in non-EV's. There are a lot of buyers who don't care what type of car they have, and will buy an EV the moment they get cheaper than a gas car - therefore sucking up any glut.
I was very optimistic about Freenet when I first heard about it, but that was over 20 years ago. I'm less optimistic now. If it was going to take off, it would have by now. It only works when a lot of people use it, and they aren't - it seems like an uncensorable internet is not a priority for even a significant minority of users.
You and your business are crossing borders when you serve traffic to foreign customers, and are thus party to their laws.

No I'm not a lawyer, but if you really never intend to have any customers in Europe you'll probably be fine (ask a lawyer, not the Internet) but if you do or might then you're playing a game with whether or not you'll be caught or if the consequences will be more advantageous than mitigating them.

America projects it's laws worldwide with the global financial system and anything with even a remote connection to the states is a poison pill that is used to prosecute behavior which is almost exclusively outside its borders. Other legal entities can do the same, but to a lesser extent.

When he did the video for it I think he was using drumsticks, so I guess his idea was that the sloped sided wok allowed you to minimize the amount of braising liquid needed, since the drumsticks can lay meat-side down in the middle and have the bones stick up out of the liquid.

But since I mostly use boneless chicken thighs anyway, that didn't help too much. They needed to be uniformly covered.

It seems non Tesla EVs deprecate quickly. If you just need a commuter car, or car for local shopping. They can be a great deal. For example a 2013 Nissan Leaf that gets ~70 miles of range can be bad for 6k.
Phillips makes a bulb that “yellows” based on how dim or bright the bulb is. I use these plus Luetron smart dimmers to automatically remove blue color temperatures from my house after sunset.

I think of this comic which was done completely by Jack Kirby

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAC_(Buddy_Blank)

which has some delicious irony since it is about a "One Man Army Corps".

Kirby worked with Stan Lee and some others at Marvel comics to develop the characters and settings that set the foundation for Marvel being... Marvel. Kirby was kinda resentful that Stan Lee hogged the credits for the work. Particularly Stan Lee had a writing credit for all of the books he was involved in, but "writing" includes both planning the scenario and choosing individual words and the illustrators had a lot of input into the scenario.

Looking at OMAC you see Kirby do a really heroic job. The scenario planning is excellent and the writing at the sentence level is fine, but you can see that Lee had a special touch for that which Kirby didn't have.
