They're too big and heavy per horsepower compared to regular ICE.

Also, if your car can turn on its engine automatically, Stirlings and regular ICE have the same problem - Something is autonomously generating carbon monoxide and consuming your fuel without a human watching it. Spooky.
Your corollary is interesting - I've pondered the topic a lot myself, and your corollary is a dedication I hadn't considered. Love the concept!
I’ve heard it compared to a 3 act play. When all you have is the second act, the play is hard to understand. Or, to put it in more modern terms, it is like trying to make sense of Empire Strikes Back, but you never have any knowledge of Star Wars or Return of the Jedi.
That’s the key people are missing. There’s a trade-off (though people can easily memorize phone numbers for example) when the password gets to complicated and you have to write it down.
150 feet a second? Where are you driving where you're doing that speed and changing lanes and are concerned about 150 feet?

Why doesn't the lane detection deactivate when you indicate?
There is truth to this but I worry that we're the frog being slowly boiled alive, and that we're acting amorally because of our fear of the consequences of standing up to him.
What I imagine is them releasing publicly a list of "tainted" bitcoin. The government would consider it basic due diligence to not accept those bitcoins for payment.

If I buy a product from you, and I then transferred the payment to you through a US sanctioned entity, it would be your responsibility to not accept the payment. If you accept the payment, an FBI agent might come remind you of your duties.

In case of Bitcoin transactions, if such a law came into place, you might for example add to the contract that the payment in bitcoin needs to be made in non-tainted bitcoin.
I hate that shit so I tracked down the original (live) tweet and responded to him with it.

We vastly prefer single binary executables on baremetal embedded. Not need to fight against linux or some other kernel, a libc and systemd. Updates are trivial and automatic. It's trivially secure and formally verified.
Most trackers have an associated website, the term "tracker" is often used to refer to both the actual torrent tracker and the listing site together.
Because I was responding to a question specifically about government-provided tax prep solutions...
why do governments not make a habit of funding/creating really high quality tax software

Nordquist can be both against improved tax prep software/procedures and for simplified tax laws. We know he's against the former; he's explicitly stated he doesn't want the US government producing tax prep software or doing any sort of additional legwork on the behalf of tax filers.

Mother Theresa’s group of nuns teach catechesis using Montessori methods under the framework called ‘Catechesis of the Good Shepherd’ which in some ways is staying more true towards the original method as Montessori schools become secularized.

This sentence from the New Yorker reminded me: “that children are, in their essence, methodical, self-directed beings with a strong work ethic“

The ‘spiritual’ adjective is something that would have been in this sentence had Montessori written about it, as she discusses the spiritual well-being of children often in her writing.

That the upper-crust of secular society conveniently ignores this isn’t surprising, but I wonder if ignoring it contributes to the growing mental health crisis.

I.e. if spirituality doesn’t matter at all, how can you actually convince children they aren’t being raised as economic cogs in a materialist world?
Wow, thanks, I had no idea. I even missed the previous HN thread on it (I follow HN150 on Twitter, so mostly only check out stories that hit 150 points).

What’s crazy is that I haven’t received a single email about them deprecating Jobs. I think they have my most up-to-date resume, so I may have lost that (maybe they’ll send something out later this month, but seems like most companies give a longer heads-up when deprecating products).
I know it's hard to imagine, but before we all held supercomputers in our pockets we all used to have dozens of ten-digit numbers memorized. I still remember my grade school friends' phone numbers.
Seems risky to me unless they install failsafe drainage - which can be more costly than the racks/trackers they eliminate. A 2 foot high racked area with drop in placement of panels would work. Snow load?
Why would that invalidate perception (or why would the gatekeeping be relevant) since the whole discussion is merely about being in a place to afford it, the trajectory of which occurs far in advance of having children

The only other thing i could see is whether I wind up living close to one or the partner has their own restrictions

Just seems like a much more privileged position to have an outside perspective than the people with kids who didn’t even know they can’t afford the choice, like the person in the article
That's an excellent point, thanks for mentioning it. There's a lot of grey area around older ROMs specifically with the Internet Archive because if I remember correctly I think they were granted some extra privileges, but in general distributing most ROMs are illegal period even for older systems. The only way to legally own them is to rip them yourself.

And breaking DRM is usually illegal regardless of whether or not you're doing it for a legal purpose. IANAL, but I think you're right, I suspect Nintendo would probably have a much better case if they went after people showing how to rip ROMs. I have a hard time keeping up with what is and isn't an exception to the DMCA, since it changes occasionally. There are some systems like phones where showing people how to bypass DRM is legal, every once and a while a big list of exception "categories" gets decided, and anything that's not on that list is illegal to bypass DRM for and illegal to show people how to bypass DRM.

It's a little weird. Emulators are legal and for many non-encrypted systems hacking and dumping your own ROMs is legal; but breaking DRM even if you're not doing anything illegal by breaking DRM -- the act itself is often illegal, and I don't remember if an exception was ever made for consoles or not.

One thing for certain, people will say that you can buy a game and then download the ROM, and maybe you can argue it's moral, but it's not legal -- the only way to legally extract a Switch ROM is to buy a Switch, hack it, and literally extract the ROM yourself (and like you mention, even that can be of questionable legality). So we run into a situation where the emulator is legal, talking about the emulator is legal, but getting media to run on the emulator, even if you're not "stealing it" by any commonly understood definition of the term is likely illegal.

Basically it boils down to whether bypassing the DRM falls into one of the current DMCA exceptions, whether you're a library, etc... and I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know if consoles are currently on that list or not.
The correct mitigation for these scenarios, which I agree are a problem, is to not use shared secrets. Key rotation/ changing your password is a poor workaround.

If you steal the WebAuthn database from my toy implementation, now, or tomorrow or ten years in the past, it makes no difference because it doesn't have any secrets in it, so, you don't learn anything useful. "Man, if I was this web site, which I'm not, now I could validate that the authentication was successful".

In such schemes the only thing similar to a "secret" is the Private Key, which exists only briefly temporarily inside my Security Key or other authenticator when it is doing its thing.
He definitely didn't say this.
Why shdnt it touch github? If you think it is not secure than also your companies source code shdnt touch it, shouldnt it? Or is there a different reason?
That corrects data by changing the way it's collected. That's OK if it's properly documented of course, because you're improving the accuracy of your measurements. You may then have difficulties comparing the two periods but there are techniques to deal with that.

Where climatologists go wrong is when they say "and now we'll rewrite the prior observations to what we think they would have been, had the weather station been there all along". That's not scientific. Consider how easy it is to make mistakes that way, or have biases in which only adjustments beneficial for your career are included. Especially when your central claim is about long term trends over time, it should be obvious why editing the past isn't allowed.
The way you laid out the beats of your original comment made it sound sarcastic if you read it expecting the usual off-hand snark that's prevalent on the internet, so "makes perfect sense" would turn into "makes no sense at all" - therefore seeming like the product is useless or a step back when web pages already exist.
Are they based in a jurisdiction that has right to deletion laws?
Whenever I talk to people about security, I give a simple thought experiment:

Assume the passwords for all of your users are public. Doesn't matter how it happened. How are your users protected?

The moment that people go down this road of thought everything gets a lot better.

1. How do you restore accounts that may have been taken over?

2. How do you detect logins that look like normal behavior vs those that don't?

3. Is a password alone enough to get them in?

If you address those 3 things everything gets A LOT easier for you and your users.
Fails on criterion 4, and I think that's a real issue.

Github is the de-facto default sourcecode plattform. If it isn't a standard option on Github then it doesn't feel like a standard license.
Putin is looking to expand his country's borders quite similarly to Hitler, regardless of economic or human costs. It's up to rest of the world to show him the only thing he respects, which is power.

Why is it more absurd? Is it because the equation then means: (n=O || n=1) || n>=2?
Meaning the deduction leads to "strictly zero or once" OR "many more than 1"

Once seems less logical from a metaphysical perspective to me than multiple.
No, Mapbox has been very supportive, trying to help however they can and obviously not expecting me (or anyone else in Ukraine) to work any time soon.

Same for colleagues from Belarus and even Russia — they are strongly pro-Ukraine and anti-war, although stating this publicly can easily get them in jail (already happened multiple times).
Have you thought about what will be left of your home and your family's belongings when you return to Kyiv? Have you thought about what returning to Kyiv will be like? The closest approximation to what you're going through in my life is tornadoes: the eerie siren out of nowhere, taking everybody close to you to shelter, calling loved ones to make sure they're safe. But at least the storm passes after an hour or two. I'm so sorry that this is happening to your family, Vladimir.
One of the best, simple, grokkable mental models I've ever encountered on this (admittedly existential) topic is one that we HNers should all appreciate:

What happens when your code starts running? A process is allocated from memory, a class instantiates, and your program is..."born". It runs its code -- and maybe that code responds to inputs, does calculations....has....feelings....falls in love...or whatever :) Maybe it has the ability to interact with other processes and send messages to these other processes. Maybe it runs independently.

It's blissfully ignorant of the system within which it runs: The BIOS, the hardware, etc. Or maybe not! Maybe it even has the ability to probe its environment, learn about it, report on it (...run experiments on it), etc.

From your program's perspective, it is unique, it has perspective, it has experience.

And at some point, the program terminates. What happens? The code stops running. The memory is returned to the pool. Maybe new programs are launched (with no knowledge of previously-launched programs, unless they've left some sort of permanent record in a database or a file, etc.)

What is the "experience" of the program after it terminates (or before it was allocated from memory). Kind of an absurd question when you frame it that way, right? Programs don't have an experience when they're not executing! They simply don't exist at that abstraction level. But that certainly doesn't mean the computer is gone, or that other programs - that use the exact same memory - won't have similarly rich (or poor) experiences in the environment.

I know this a bit contrived...but maybe it's not? I find this logical and, frankly, it makes sense. We're all allocations from a global memory pool that continues to be recycled so long as the computer is running. And to answer OPs primary question, then: Yes, pre-birth is exactly the same as post-life, but both aren't so bad :)
In this case, the username and password are NOT your Google credentials. When you set up a dynamic DNS subdomain in Google Domains, it autogenerates a username/password pair that is unique to that subdomain, and that's what you use.

Can't wait to see the meetup back in person.
Yeah it's an obnoxious process. I don't know why people are so against passwords. Use a manager (or at least something like Lesspass), and then you're fine. Passwords aren't scary. They won't bite.
No, at least not out of the box, bc that's outside its intended realm; lnav (short for log navigator) is like a mini-ETL CLI powertool w/ embedded SQLite. You can pipe (semi/)structured data in, then query and optionally transform and/or export it out. Its API makes it convenient for chaining w/ tools like mitmproxy, so you could do almost anything with it in a custom script pipeline.

If it's a warning it's a bit strange that he also provides a description of our response - we need to be a bit faster and slam the door on his nose.
I highly recommend this lecture by Finnish army intelligence expert to those looking to understand the deeper roots behind Russia's actions. Lecture in Finnish, but it has English subtitles. Truly wakening stuff, it really helps you to understand the situation much better.

No if you are using Postgres, yes if you are using Oracle.
Another way I have thought about this, coming from a religion that believes in "Oneness" and in Reincarnation (Sikhism), does reincarnation have to necessarily happen linearly in time? If not then there is no reason that there would have to be an upper limit on the number of beings as you could have multiple of the same soul existing at different points in time, satisfying both oneness and reincarnation.

(Not that this is something I necessarily believe, it is just something I thought about).
Exactly. If you believe corporations have too much power today, one of the best tools in your toolbox as a "check" on their power is unions and collective bargaining. It's about having a counterbalance on that see-saw.

interesting point of comparison. the much bigger cost of ads is probably the attention loss. we don't have much attention capacity. ads increasingly syphon it. I guestimate that attention loss for an average person is worth order of magnitude more than the extra cpu tearing + bandwidth costs required to run ads. but like for your comparison, most users aren't even realising they are paying a significant mental cost by accepting those ads.
By the way, ‘lapsus’ as a slang-ish Russian word was around perhaps until 1970s or 1980s. Quite rare today. Means ‘a dumb mistake’.

It comes from Latin, and Wiktionary says that it's used in English and Romance-family languages, but I've never seen it outside of Russian. It might be used in other Slavic languages, though.

If the word is not around in Western languages, then presumably it would point to Russian origins, or someone really did their homework to misattribute blame.

(Or I might've missed the news where those guys are already uncovered—so far I only saw it being mentioned that the attack is from South America.)
I really hope that password managers are a step in this direction. Once they become ubiquitous then everyone effectively already has a "master password" for all their online identities. It wouldn't even really need to be a 3rd party service. The password managers could hold the keys locally and websites could just use WebAuthn for authentication.
> NATO is a mutual-defense alliance. It's not a defend-everyone-else alliance.

> Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland, Georgia, Moldova, would not send troops to defend Russia attacking a NATO member like Latvia, for example.

It's not as clear cut as you make it sound:

1. Ukraine has wanted to join NATO for some time, and at at least some NATO countries have expressed a wish for it to join.

2. IIRC, Ukraine also sent troops to Afghanistan, which I believe was technically a defend-the-US NATO mission.

> We need to keep the rules crystal clear because one of the most important factors in preventing nuclear escalation is predictability.

IIRC, that's mainly about the use of nuclear forces themselves. It's also possible to be too predictable, which lets someone rules-lawyer you into submission, or to be callously bureaucratic and legalistic.
Trade secret and PII are two different things. Trade secret is something you can risk. PII is not something most governments will allow you to risk.
This very same argument could be made against liberal democracies, where there is a potential for similar dynamics of corruption to develop. However, almost no one would argue that liberal democracy isn't preferable to a system where one person or a small group can decide everything.

Unions give you a vote and that is better than the alternative. Preventing a union from becoming corrupted is another problem and there is a wide spectrum of structures among unions, not all are as you depict.
Ask HN: How smart is your cat?
Inspired by this comment : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30554638

Our cat could 'count', in that she knew how many people were at the dining table, she knew how many desert plates to expect. Only when she had them all, she would leave.

We had another cat who couldn't : she sometimes would leave early or stayed while there were not desert plates left.
From what I understand the size (and thus weight) of a Stirling engine is inversely proportional to the temperature difference it can run off. Running off 10s of degrees requires a very large engine to have any kind of usable power.

Additionally it would at best be a benefit in hot climates where the battery needs cooling. In the cold you want to retain the heat not turn it inefficiently into energy.

Setí is great, but there is clearly so much terrestrial intelligence we have yet to discover and so much more that we are killing.

It's crazy that someone claiming to be a scientist in the area of animal self medication is so unaware of what I consider common knowledge, so limited in intellectual resource that they can't Google "animal self medication", and so vain as to think something they have observed is original work without attempting to verify that.

Finally! Someone finally said "hybrid", thank you!

Every thread about EVs is just like the ~discourse~ about LED traffic lights. [1]

"We must stop making pure ICE cars"

"But pure EVs aren't ready"

"But we must stop making pure ICE cars!"

"But pure EVs aren't ready!"

Back and forth for _literally 20 years_ in which this little-known Japanese company, Toyota, has been producing an insanely popular line of hybrid sedans called "Prius". [2] I live in a small town and I can't really drive anywhere without seeing at least one Prius. They are everywhere. The used ones are not super-expensive, either, especially compared to a pure EV that needs a bigger battery.

Hybrids have been viable for _twenty years_ and people are still debating ICE vs. EV.

Plug-in hybrids are now becoming more common, and even big pickup trucks are talking about mild hybridization. And a Prius can go 500 or 600 miles on a tank and then just refuel. A pure EV means no spontaneous road trips. Not a problem with any hybrid.

Pure ICE should be out of the picture for 50% of drivers, but we are still using pure EVs as a weak man [3] to pretend that ICE cars are still viable in the post-Prius-plugin era.

It makes me a little mad.

[1] Technology Connections made a video on this ~discourse~ and how dumb it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiYO1TObNz8

Worth keeping in mind that passwords do actually leak. Companies have had incidents where they were inadvertently logging secrets passed to them. I've also typed/pasted secrets in the wrong field, which can get into some database or user-interface tracking tool. I've typed my sudo password instead of a vpn password at the command line, thinking sudo login had triggered when it was instead cached. Who knows when these crumbs might turn up.

And as others pointed out, breaches aren't always known or disclosed. Is it too late if you change your password 6 months after it's compromised? Not sure - maybe people sit on their exploits sometimes, or wait for a better buyer, or sell secrets in small batches.

All that said, I've never changed a password when it was newer than 5 years old, and only do it for crucial services, but if I were a bigger target, I might do it more.
Another thought, having an in-app calculator (so one could free calculate factors of an arbitrary number) might generate interesting data to see the approaches your users take? I could see how that might be interesting data for cognitive mathematics research.
