I agree. But then again, most of my knowledge of the housing crash comes second hand. It didn’t impact my parents (rural area, one mortgage), and I don’t personally know anyone that defaulted or had their parents default.

On the other hand I acutely remember the gas prices at that time. I was a senior in high school and filling up my tank was something i specifically had to save a decent amount of money for.

So perhaps that was the bigger issue, but it does feel like an insignificant amount of money in the grand scheme.

> For once it makes sense that Ukraine is doing that

Mines statiscally kill mostly civilians and mostly after a conflict is stopped.
It actually makes zero sense for Ukraine to have done it.

On the other hand mining routes towards ukrainan controlled areas and making a ceasefire deal where civilians are escorted into Russian territory and used as hostages does make a lot of sense.
I don't how many of these they make, but it costs money to make zero money. If those who came with the idea are serious about fighting bribery, they know they need to make many many of these in a country whose population is larger than continents like Africa and America and is almost double that of Europe.
Thank you both, that was super helpful
+1 It's been almost two decades since the last spike, five since the oil crisis of the 70s. If you're buying 50k plus gas guzzlers, and then get squeezed when gas prices are going up, it's almost self inflicted by now. So many alternatives: electrics, small frugal cars, carpooling, telecommuting, ... Can't believe USA is still incentivizing this madness.

As far as I know, that “promise” was a preliminary conversation, not a legal matter.[1][2] Gorbachev did feel like the expansion was “a violation of the spirit of the statements and assurances,” though.[1]

How convenient. What was Russia's excuse before NATO was created? Do you really think that if NATO did not exist that Putin would keep it in its borders?
Yeah, I've seen "Vitamin D enriched" mushrooms at the Coop supermarket in the UK.
Your post sounds like it's a bad thing, but "nicer" code is easier to maintain, i.e. there will be fewer bugs (and fewer vulnerabilities).
This bug is an exception of the rule - shit happens. But refactoring code to be "nicer" prevents more bugs than it causes.
Two patches were involved in making this bug happen, and minus the bug, I value both of them (and their authors).
Likely something like that. My money is on them being unable to locate someone who needs to give permission, and it's probably not a very high priority issue.

I vaguely recall reading a blog post when Sun opened the Solaris source code, that it was a tremendous effort tracking down every single person they needed permission from.

That is not what happened. Ukraine elected a leader (with the help of Paul Manafort, who Putin paid for his efforts) that lied about his intentions to join the EU. In fact when he was in power he did an about face on his stated goals and stopped the process of getting into the EU. When he was deposed he fled to Russia - the country that put him in power in the first place.

Basically, Putin subverted Ukrainian democracy by helping to get a puppet elected. Ukrainians did not like that.
For awhile googling for GWBasic would find my homepage. (I used to have a video call widget and my username was "GWBasic.")

How to Survive the Software Product Roadmap Writing Experience
Errr... let me quote from the Wikipedia article you linked:

> Some engineers deemed 1,000 hours a reasonable figure to balance the various operational aspects of an incandescent bulb, since longer lifespan means reduced efficacy (lumens per watt): a longer-life bulb of a given wattage puts out less light (and therefore proportionally more heat) than a shorter-life bulb of the same wattage. Nevertheless, long-life incandescent bulbs were and are available with lifespan ratings up to 2,500 hours, and these do in fact produce less light per watt.

What I was trying to say in my previous comment was that while there was a cartel which did reduce the lifetime of commonly-used light bulbs, they didn't do it solely to increase their profits - there was an actual technical tradeoff involved, and they chose a figure which provided (in their opinion) a good balance of all the involved parameters. That's what always gets forgotten when this story is mentioned.

This will be worst over time until "more planned obsolescence than anything else" code is committed into the linux kernel.
Many parts of the linux kernel are "done", but you will have always some ppl which will manage to commit stuff in order to force people to upgrade. This is very accute with "backdoor injectors for current and futur CPUs", aka compilers: you should be able to compile git linux git with gcc 4.7.4 (the last C gcc which has beyond than enough extensions to write a kernel), and if someting needs to be done in linux code closely related to compiler support, it should be _removing_ stuff without breaking such compiler support, _NOT_ adding stuff which makes linux code compile only with a very recent gcc/clang.
For instance, in the network stack, tons of switch/case and initializer statements don't use constant expressions. Fixing this in the network stack was refused, I tried.
Lately, you can see some linux devs pouring code using the toxic "_Generic" c11 keyword, instead of using type explicit code, or new _mandadory_ builtins did pop up (I did detect them is 5.16 while upgrading from 5.13) which are available only in recent gcc/clang.
When you look at the pertinence of those changes, those are more "planned obsolescence 101" than anything else.
It is really disappointing.
Russia-2022: How not lose everything? (Russian)
The fact that this is an issue is scary. A notch filter isn't particularly expensive, doesn't have a large effect on the received strength, and is basic good design on any RF component that needs to isolate a signal in a specific band, so this was simply for profit motives.

For those who are not terribly familiar with radio frequencies this is analogous to using Security By Obscurity. The designer just decided to gamble that nothing would happen to transmit in a band that the system would catch in a pattern that the receiver would interpret as a valid signal.
This is a terrific idea. In my experience with refugee communities, they (a) often carry significant formal and informal knowledge that others would find fascinating, but (b) are often limited to the most predatory labor arrangements since they are isolated and vulnerable. This program seems like a great way to both value their specialized knowledge and reduce their isolation.

One thing I didn't see: how would someone from or working with a displaced community engage to offer services?
The idea of a "precedent" doesn't make any sense.

Nation states don't do "precedents" when it comes to helping each other out. They do "what is good for me here and now and maybe on a future timeline I happen to care about". For democracies this timeline is short. For dictatorships and monarchies this timeline tends to be a little longer because nobody wants to leave a giant mess for their kid.

Sending in green beret advisors or the FFL isn't a "precedent". And everybody knows it. It's a one off based on the political realities of the minute.

The kind of political realities that lead to those sort of interventions are short lived decades long things at best.

In contrast, "our country, fuck off" is a solution that will likely live as long as Ukraine maintains some sort of national identity. Nobody's invaded Afghanistan twice.
This is useful as a way of demonstrating "questions to ask yourself". But how do do you decide whether something is 3/10 or 7/10 for any of these? What might be even better is being able to compare options against each other.
No, we're not all probably right. You're right. I'm right. cloutchaser is simply making posts ignorant of cultures and history. This is not uniquely western, but his list is just wrong:

- Mongols did not force ideals or cultures on the people they conquered. If you surrendered and paid tribute, you were free to do as you pleased.

- The Ottomans were mixed; you were pressured but not forced. Non-Muslims, for example, paid higher taxes.

Most long-lived empires let people do their thing. The Romans lasted for a millennium, and finally collapsed when (and in part because) they tried to impose Roman values on everyone, and that turned out to be more expensive than the empire could sustain.

These also aren't historic; I posted examples from the 1800s, but also recent ones.

The comment about Korea and individualism is just crazy too; Korea is probably the most deeply Confucian culture left.

Pointing out all of the historic and cultural errors would be an essay longer than the comments.
> He was addressing a debate over how leaders should act—whether they should follow their citizens’ wishes or act in the interests of future generations, against current pressures.

There's a third option and a fourth option that are both more frequent under autocracy: leaders acting against current pressures in accordance with ideologies that in reality have terrible outcomes in both the present in the future (e.g. authoritarian communism and fascism), and just being kleptocrats.

The dichotomy isn't between wise autocratic leadership and democracy. The dichotomy is between democracy and horrible autocratic leadership most of the time with only very occasional periods of wise leadership.
As it should be. A missing stop sign can get someone killed.
Nearly all the (non-military) customers for this would be in cities, since that's where the people are--especially the affluent ones--and you can't simply land a space craft in or near a city. Even if you land it 10 miles outside a city, you would still need an hour in a car to find and fetch the object, at which point why not use terrestrial systems--cars, trucks, helicopters, drones--to deliver from a regional hub? (The world's largest company is already very good at doing this.) It would certainly be cheaper than the $10,000/Kg to put an object in orbit.

it's a cat and mouse game that mice have kept winning. Pretending DRM is even technically an option to curtail abuses (or fair copies) is naive at best. a fallacy at worst.

also to note that it is companies that act illegally in preventing fair use of copyrighted content. it's a battle where both sides pretty much decided to ignore the law. since registered companies are meant to respect the law to continue to operate, and pirates, well they are pirates and prosecuted for it, if caught, I opt for the court to instead compel YouTube, and its media partners to provide DRM free content so that everyone else, consumers, can enjoy the rights granted by law to make fair copies of content. that would resolve the matter once and for good.

There also are (or were) a lot of consumer products which used ordinary incandescents for heat. The familiar example to Americans of a certain age is the EZ-Bake Oven, but there was a long tail of others, because if you wanted an off-the-shelf source for ~40-150W of heat, and the light is either a plus or neutral, it was tough to beat an Edison bulb and socket.

When the bike is the lock and you don’t have the key it really puts a damper on why or how you steal it.

If you cut up the infrastructure that you lock to, you still have a bike in a weird position and need a key you won’t have. Most bike lock thieves focus on destroying the lock which you can’t do if the lock is the bike.

Making the structure of the bike the structure of the lock is a great idea because of this.
The % in this syntax is not to indicate information about scaling, it is just a meaningless separator: "3%tsp". I'd say both "3tsp" or "3 tsp" look better.
Well, high energy prices meant that when Lehman Brothers was collapsing in late 2008 the most recent data the Fed had said that inflation was running above 5% and they thought they had to be careful about that. In reality deflation had already started but it takes months to collect and process the data to show that. Fears that injecting money into the financial system would further stoke inflation made the Fed ask for and receive the power to pay interest on banks' excess reserves, to encourage them not to lend out the newly created money. This had never been tried before, the Fed didn't have any experience using this tool, and it seems that they set the interest rate they were paying banks to not lend out their money much too high.

Another example of a vulnerability that is purposefully obfuscated in the commit log. It is an insane practice that needs to die. The Linux kernel maintainers have been doing this for decades and it's now a standard practice for upstream.

This gives attackers an advantage (they are incentivized to read commits and can easily see the vuln) and defenders a huge disadvantage. Now I have to rush to patch whereas attackers have had this entire time to build their POCs and exploit systems.

End this ridiculous practice.
Ask HN: How to see the top HN stories ranked without flags?
Does anyone know if there is a way on HN itself or a third party site to see what the top stories on HN would be if flags were excluded? I.e. purely a function of upvotes and time?

I've noticed that almost all the stories that mention the invasion of Ukraine seem to be quickly dropped from the front page even though they have a great many votes, and I'd like to still be able to see them. I'm not sure if it is people trying to avoid politics somehow, or people with ties to Russia who are trying to avoid the war being so visible.

I really value the unique perspective of the HN community and am sad to see it so easily stifled when it seems clear that this is subject of great interest to many hackers with many topics where the war overlaps with technology and business.

GZIP (.gz) and PKZIP (.zip) are both containers for DEFLATE. GZIP is barely a container with minimal metadata, whereas PKZIP supports quite a bit of metadata. Although you can’t quite concatenate GZIP streams to get a PKZIP file, it’s pretty close—if I recall correctly, you just chop off the GZIP header.
I sort of disagree Steve was acting in bad faith. Flash was slow, security was a problem in the context of iPhone, and what Steve was saying, may be Web Site shouldn't have been done in Flash in the first place. And this is absolutely true, so many web site should not have been a flash site. And Video should be delivered as HTML5. Remember HTML5 Web Apps was suppose to be the second source of Apps for iOS. And Facebook even went all-in on HTML5 apps. I still remember how hard I cringe at their video when they said it was as good as Native Apps. ( Now come to think of it I think my hatred against Web Front End evangelist may have started then ) To this day, not a single Web App, including VSCode is as good as a well made native app.

And iPhone doesn't have the horsepower in 2010. Today's iPhone 13 is faster than 80% of the PC in single core performance. So I dont think it was a wrong decision at the time. May have been worth revisiting in 2015 or 2016, but Steve was gone. Adobe gave up. Despite Apple later changed the VM rules so you could ( correct me if I am wrong ) package Flash Games as App. By that time Adobe has stopped all development on Flash.

And it is sort of strange, because those flash website was essentially what we have for apps today. So may be it wasn't all wrong. It was the wrong place at the wrong time. Sigh.

>The web is still to this day unable to deliver an experience like Flash could, and likely will never be able to.

That is the sad part, but partly because no one wants it to. Google for the past 10 years wanted to make Web Apps and Javascript or whatever they deemed good and nearly completely ignore Web Page ( until fairly recently ). WebKit was moving very slowly for the first 5 years before pickup up some pace in the last 3-4. But both of them never intended to have Web Browser to deliver something Flash could. And frankly speaking they couldn’t care less.
Someone else answered with their blog post, but I'll go into high level:

1. Register domain name (Namecheap, Route53, Google Domains, etc.)

2. Sign up for Fastmail, choose at least "Standard" plan to support custom domain. Sign up with <yourdesiredname>@<yourdomain>. This will more or less serve as your "main" email. I use <firstname>@<domain>

3. In Fastmail settings, add your domain. Fastmail will guide you through the MX and TXT records that need to be added and how to do it.

4. (This may be done by default in Fastmail): Set up an "Alias" to configure *@<domain> to deliver to your email.

5. Start changing your accounts to whateveryouwant@<domain>

The "to" field of any received email will always show what is being sent to, even in third party clients. You can then also configure rules and filters based on the "to" field.

In the Fastmail clients (web and mobile), you can also reply from the same address that an email was sent to. In IMAP clients, it'll reply from your actual registered address (such as <firstname>@<domain>)
