Suspicions that Tether is a scam have existed for years at this point. There are countless articles and analysis pieces. Given all of that, why has this not affected cryptocurrency valuations? There has to be a missing piece of the puzzle, since simply suspecting that Tether is fraudulent provides no edge.
Do you have any first hand experience as a journalist in the 60’s to base that on?

Do you have any links to facts that might support those assertions?

If not, I rest my case?
What can't you do? Everytime I dig into this I discover someone wants to violate emissions laws. Sure you can change your throttle response without that, but the only people who want to are trying to break emissions.

I'm still waiting for an example of where DRM stops a normal repair
I understand too. However I didn't pay for a huge portion of those LPs, because people gave them away by the box load, including a long time subscriber of the Capitol Records club who didn't play them. I lucked out and I'd rather keep playing them than subscribe to anything.
Experts in five years: Huh... that's the first thing that's ever gone wrong...

Hmm, that's interesting... Why is the throttle interceptor necessary? Is the CAN bus jack read-only somehow?
Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree with that! I was just pointing out that not accepting connections is not some one weird trick to connect to the internet without risking security!
Yup. On the other hand cars such as these are rarely driven.
That's fair, creating better options for people doesn't have to be limited to roads. It can include public transportation and making it possible for people to walk/bike where they need to go. As long as you make things easier on people they'll be happy with whatever.

I was skeptical that public transportation or walking/biking could ever be preferable to driving a car, but I've seen it working in other countries (as long as the trains are running, I prefer them to get around in Tokyo) and even here I've seen it work in very limited spaces (mostly campuses). It can work, but It's harder to make those options attractive in places that weren't designed for/around them. It's something new developments should absolutely consider.

We could also help ease congestion though other means too. Telecommuting, more flexible work schedules, and on-site child care could help a lot, but are hard to put into place since that falls on companies to offer them.
not sure how to reconcile this... i dont think we should hold citizens accountable because the citizens dont control russia. Even in democratic countries the citizens only marginally control what the country does imo. There are people and organizations within russia that have far more power then the average russian citizen.
> Gasoline has horrendous losses too.

I'm not sure what "horrendous" losses you're referring to, but I assume you mean losses due to inefficiency in combustion. That's not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to the fact that hydrogen does not occur in its combustible form on Earth. You can't just refine it by purifying something that comes out of the ground, the way gasoline is refined from crude oil. You have to produce it by some process that basically reverses the chemical reaction that will take place when you burn it. And since the chemical reaction of burning produces a large amount of energy (otherwise you wouldn't use it to do things like power cars), reversing that reaction requires a large amount of energy (which is why steam reforming, as the article you reference says, is strongly endothermic). All that is in addition to the thermodynamic losses that will occur during combustion when you burn the fuel.
Before Arch, the Gentoo wiki was a gold mine for technical details. Until they lost it all and didn’t have any backups.
That is correct. It’s essentially classified as a semi so it needs a limiter.

Cooking with Credentials: Peppered Passwords
Common pet peeve with this site: Most people trying to share a scary screenshot will choose the largest one (Tsar Bomba 100t), of which 1 operation one was ever created, and that one has already been detonated. It's also not at all a practical bomb that would be used in practice.
It really doesn't matter, and honestly you probably want to die in the first blast.

If there is full scale nuclear war there seems to be consensus that there will most likely be full breakdown of normal society and probably a nuclear winter. Either one of those would mean your job is probably long gone if you are an HN reader, food is going to be scarce and there is no police to protect you anymore. Basically fallout on steroids, but with less mutants and also less food.

Personally I don't think the human race will go extinct, but the ones that do survive are not going to live in comfy modern societies anymore. And if you are living somewhat close to a nuclear strike you are going to miss that hospital when radiation sickness sets in.
Is this due to shrapnel?
In my opinion it's the duty of an enlightened citizen to break unjust laws. Civil disobedience is the only thing that will right a wrong like that.
It has something to do with the pressure wave and how it changes with distance, since I posted that comment I've been looking for more information but I don't know the right terms.
The classic example is anything that's signed by crypto. So, often, pieces of the security systems or infotainment systems on a vehicle. But I was thinking more broadly, about other types of consumer products, once I started talking about Magnuson–Moss above.

Ha, no, not yet. Looking more closely at NC though. I want to have a nice mountain view, so maybe I need to incorporate topological data too somehow.
IANAL and have not followed this super closely so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I understand the answer is "no". In practice nobody pursues this kind of personal use, but that's very different from it being legal, and it has not truly been tested in courts either way.

You can make backups... with the encryption intact. But breaking DRM is essentially always illegal for any purpose, thanks to the wonderful DMCA. And that's before getting into EULAs that more and more frequently deny you ownership over what you bought, only a "temporary, revocable, non-transferable license to play this format on licensed devices in specific circumstances" or similar.

“We’re generally united in a mission to help Ukraine as much as we can,” Representative John Katko of New York told me with a grin. “It’s kind of inspiring. It makes you feel good!”

Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

“It’s sort of all in, short of sending American troops,” GOP Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma told my colleague Russell Berman last week

All in, except for almost everything. Gotcha.
There are two problems here:

• musl should support EDNS and DNS over TCP/IP without issues

• People should be smart enough to use DNS services that don't have stupid edge cases

For the latter, if you use Google for resolving DNS, you get what you deserve. Run your own resolver if DNS resolution matters.

I'm actually in the middle of working on a resource for that exact thing: https://ae.studio/same-day-skunkworks/risk-of-nuclear-disast...

we're collecting better sources, but eventually you should be able to visualize a heatmap if you will of locations at higher risk.

We're working to add variables like wind travel direction, known military bases, etc. - super speculative, but I think it's better than what currently exists.

> I did not realize Precision 55xx series is even better built than XPS15

Bought an XPS15 for an intern. I pulled the screen to open, and it remained stuck with the base, because they didn’t even tune the hinge. How can someone work with such a device, you can hear the fans and feel the heat through the keyboard: If XPS15 is in the top 3 money can buy after System76 and Precision 55xx, then Apple can double the prices and they would still have customers.
The panic over D&D is the only safe part of the "Satanic Panic" to look back on and laugh about, partially because a basic understanding of the silliness of fantasy role playing games has filtered through the culture since, but mostly because the panic over them didn't hurt very many people.

The rest of the Satanic Panic was egged on by the mainstream media, the justice system (especially in the horrific McMartin trial), and local politics and police forces aggressively targeting weird teens. You still can't make a documentary about McMartin that treats it as obviously false, even in retrospect. So many people in authority lent their reputations to a witch hunt. It's very similar to Iraq.
> Well Russia has about 6000 nukes so they could definitely afford to hit every major metro area in the west potentially dozens of times.

Having 6000 nukes ≠ 6000 nukes with operational readiness. If nuclear war were to break out, it is extremely unlikely that they could successfully use more than 1000 of those.

Not that that should make anyone feel any better about the situation, because even 1 nuke is too many.
Excise taxes were supposed to be the policy lever of the federal government.

That got corrupted with the 16th ammendment, which really jumpstarted the downfall of the US.
Reminds me of being in Oklahoma City, where almost every pickup truck and SUV has a sticker on the back bumper that says 'Commercial Vehicle' presumably as some local tax loophole.
> I know, but how many Russians would support it if they had the means to stop it? Were they informed of what was happening?

To be honest, they has 8 years to learn something from 2014, but Russian propaganda catches them just via TV.

There was Internet in last 8 years, and years earlier, but Russian did nothing serious to stop actual invasion.

Nw, when they see that their Visa/MasterCard/PayPal does not work & Russia's gov blocked USD operations, they might understand something.

I has a friend, he is policemen working in Ukrainian Police in my city. He also has a brother, which is married with Russian girl. This brother moved to wife's home in Rostov region of Russia and now he is living there for less than 10 years.

On the first day (Feb 24, 2022 aka Day1) after first shelling all around Ukraine my friend policemen called to brother living in Russia to talk — brother in Russia repeatedly talking that "Russia was attacked by Ukraine!" — that was how propaganda already wins in Russia. Even mother, who I know too, tried to talk with her son actually in Russia, son living in Russia repeated that "You [Ukrainians] attacked us [he already recognized himself as Russian]".

There are a lot of such stories from families I know, in just one single city, and a lot more in all other cities in Ukraine, in the first days.

All such talks ends where Ukrainian families tired & angry fully blocks their Russian relatives phone numbers.

Of course, there was stories where relatives living in Russia fully understand what is going on, but even them can't do nothing just because Russia is actually a jail for all of them.

Keeping Internet open for Russian would not help Russian to organize at all.

Today Russia started isolate own Internet segment from inside - Russia's gov revealed own root certificate which should be.[0,1]

All servers which would not install this root cert would be locked and/or DDoS'ed by Russia's gov cyber forces.

So which one is it ? you want people staring at the same 12 slides over 50 minutes or you want to actually show them something ?
No recreation exemptions on this seems so obviously intentional, and hilarious.
Excellent ! Thank you!
The older generation in my region of the world has this notion that a car isn't worth anything after 200 000km, so sellers tamper with the odometer so that it shows the magic 1 in front.

That was indeed the case in the 80s and 90s, when the fleet consisted mostly of eastern block made shitboxes, in which you never knew what would happen first: the engine fail completely or rust eat a hole in the floor.
And it's useless for anything that doesn't get talked about on whatever web sites you've decided to make your "market".

Which would, as you note, instantly become havens for fake votes. They don't get gamed too hard now because they matter so little.
I played DnD when I was a kid around this time, I remember the satanic panic very well. I thought it sounded so cool, that I thought I was playing the game wrong ... there was far less satan worshipping than I had been led to believe.

Since this was before the era of Internet in the home, I went to the library, and the librarian helped me look through the microfiche archives. We tracked down the original reported incidences that were most likely to be referenced by the people driving the panic reporting. I distinctly recall discussing with her "that's it? wow, they're blowing this all way out of proportion." She nodded in agreement.

However nice that sounds, that is unlikely to happen.

History shows that targeting civilians is by far the most effective to make the opposition concede.
Fun to see this still exists! I remember finding this back in the old hat days on the internet. Back then it was only a toy....
Agreed.

Let us also acknowledge that the government violated the 5th ammendment when force closing businesses, and I hope the nation gets sued into bankruptcy for that gross violation.
Some believe the US is full of actual Nazis and white supremest groups. I'm not saying white supremest don't exist, but it's way overblown in the moral panic people's minds.

Everything is somehow racist. Again, not saying racism doesn't exist, but the word seems to have been redefined in recent years. Example, the OK hand gesture now means white power and everyone who uses it is a white supremest, syrup is racist, etc.

Some were very anti-vaxx pre-covid, particularly out of California. That took a really weird turn where now the moral panic is anyone who is unvaxxed for any reason doesn't deserve to buy food, work or travel. (The mass firing of ~30K NY hospital workers is an example).

Many (like 41% according to the NYT) believed COVID had a 50% hospitalization rate (probably related to the above)

Censorship and misinformation is a big one.

Cancel culture. This certainly exists in both political extremes too.

Ecoterrorism and meat is murder.

Koch brothers were running the country (the right's version of this boogeyman is Soros).

There's many more, these are just recent ones I could think of.

It seems extreme politics of the left has replaced the hole that religion would have taken and therefore has the same moral panic traits that extreme religious people also show.
I live 10 minutes from the White House. I don’t need this in my life.
> most likely to survive a nuclear bomb if you're closer

How so? All of the effects get stronger the closer you get. The thermal radiation gets you the furthest away, but if you're close by, you get the pressure and a much higher level of thermal radiation.

(There is some discussion to be had about the reflected shockwave but if you're close enough for that to matter, it doesn't matter...)
I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I have run into odd compatibility issues when trying to compile and run a handful of Rust projects that are generally meant for x86 platforms. That issue and macOS prevents me from adopting the m1 as my daily driver.
Given that the OP has posted to say that it was a mistake and hence isn't "unmarked" as you put it, you've quite missed the point. Not all mistakes (and corrections) are evidence of some classist plot.
Maybe you can have a look at openprovider.eu. They have a membership, and with these memberships they have reduced cost prices.
Given you only mention censorship/chilling effect and not privacy - why isn't 8.8.8.8 sufficient? Have there been instances of domains it censored and stopped resolving that I'm not aware of?

I guess I'm confused on the benefit (theoretical or practical) one would get by using that variety of resolvers. Is it just to prevent theoretical censorship at the DNS level?
This has been my experience with this hardware too. Agree 100% about the USB-A port, but Ethernet would have been nice too!

I use it as a portable workstation, so it is always on a desk with a keyboard and mouse. Definitely not suitable for lap use, but that's no problem for me.

Way nicer than the XPS13, that's for sure!
You are allowed to say that a situation isn't black and white and still take a stance.

Magneto is a super relatable and his actions in the context of the mutant human conflict make total sense given his motivations -- he's also still a villain.
This is an interesting observation, but this also means people will often be expected to call those APIs directly as not everything will warrant a C++ wrapper. In other languages, with their (typically) noisy FFIs, almost no app. programmers use them directly (or at least very sparingly), but instead use a library wrapper written by someone else in their language. I think the point of the OP is that it creates a very unique "blended" experience in C++ vs. other languages and I would agree.
there are a myriad of wasteful, polluting machines in the world today. who is the arbiter of who is and who is not allowed to use such a machine?

also why blame anyone who purchases such a vehicle for nonsensical tax laws? it is not clearly a commercial vehicle yet the laws are such that it is considered so simply by weighing a certain amount. that is what creates the tax loophole, not the speed limiter. the limiter is simply a consequence of an arbitrary classification.
Not really; the fact is that sharp objects and heavy objects moving at speed are both inherently hazardous because of the basic nature of the physical world, but those same attributes make them extremely useful.

I don't object at all to holding manufacturers accountable for defective products; but it makes no sense to say "if your product is involved in an accident, you go to jail", which was the premise of the comment to which I responded.
IIRC if you have a vehicle with a body on frame truck chassis and claim it is used 51% or more for business purpose you can pay much lower registration.
Each to their own but I have never understood this way of thinking. I have kids, I would want them to survive and to have a chance at life even if its not the shiny modern one. I would also want them to have kids and so on. Life would obviously be hard but it would still be life. Death comes soon enough for everyone anyway. Obviously the best outcome is no nukes at all.
My creativity hasn't slowed:

- my belief in what I'm doing is creative has

I was still at high school though so my graphical shell was pretty limited. I’m still pretty impressed I pulled off what I did though. Just goes to show how easy Pascal was.
>You're calling for repression while avoiding responsibility for what you post

It sounds like you're opposed to the idea of interacting on the internet without some kind of verified identification. Discussions have different levels of "safe" viewpoints. Instead of having a different account for each tier of discussion, I use a singular account for all of them. That being said, I don't think this is an extreme point of view as the west is already sanctioning wide swaths of the Russian economy.

>Specifically you're calling for nationality-based repression which would affect people who haven't lived in the country for decades or had no meaningful input.

Yes. Citizens from enemy countries should not be treated the same as those from friendly or neutral countries.

For Russians, it's their country and their people that are invading a neighbor and killing others. It's their president that is threatening to start a nuclear war. Russian citizens in foreign countries are free to claim asylum in those countries and work towards a different citizenship
Plenty that do it through a broker. Which either increases or decrease the sociopathy, depending on your perspective.
That’s an unreasonably judgemental thing to say. I like high performance cars because they’re fun to drive and I also support the owner’s right to change the software on their vehicles. Software freedom != sociopathy.

I don't know how much of what I saw online was Ukraine propaganda.

But the Russian military seems to be in bad shape. Almost nothing of the new stuff they paraded all these years is used in Ukraine.

Some people argued that it's a smart ploy, others say they simply don't have the technology in amounts that are enough for a war.

It makes me think, how many nukes does Russia actually have? How many are usable? How many are "high tech" enough so they can't be intercepted?
