As far as I know that notification has been there since day one, Apple has just adjusted the amount of time until it is shown. They are also adjusting the frequency and/or volume of the beeping to make it easier to hear.
Right.

My car has 100g/km CO2 emissions. I'd need to drive 10000km or 6500mi to emit a ton of carbon.

But that's like, loads. I use the car for occasional 10-20 mile drives to DIY stores or whatever. I'd need to do that every day for a year to even get close to 1t.

For a new car we're talking 10x that, at minimum.

EV’s have high resale values. 2017 Model 3 long range with 55k miles is selling for 40k. https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/5YJ3E1EA3HF001873

We don’t have a lot of data on really old EV’s but 10 year old model S’s are retaining around 40% of their initial prices which is really good for such expensive cars.

Some of that’s the limited stock of used cars right now, but it’s really inexpensive cars that are seeing the largest bump more expensive cars are closer to normal prices.

As to battery degradation, that varies wildly with chemistry your cellphone doesn’t use the same battery technology as an EV.
Russian companies like Gazprom and Rosneft? Yeah, they have no blood on their hands at all. Smh.

And how shall "goverment sanctioned encryption" be distinguished from "non sanctioned encryption"? The point of (good) encryption is to make the result look like stochastically random bytes.
I'm curious when and where that was. I was an enumerator for the 2000 Census in Los Angeles County and can't remember a single instance of hostility or even non-compliance once I explained what I was doing. The households I had to visit mostly didn't fill out the original form because they didn't speak English.

My advice, based on experience: when you find yourself in this situation immediately start looking for a way off the boat. Urgently. It is rare for people on the boat to notice this before it sinks, and those few who do always seem to overestimate the supply of lifeboats.
A rental company buying tons of machines and which has to calculate disposal costs has a different negotiating power over a number of individuals buying.
All of kubernetes external APIs are JSON over HTTPS as well, FYI. Like Azure, AWS and GCP internal communication is done via different protocols.

I hoped to convey the fact that you’re comparing apples to oranges. Of course a 3-master k8s setup with a pretty hard ~500 node cap is faster to make scheduling decisions than “Azure”, and it’s not anything to do with the data format the external API uses.
To be charitable, it's possible they meant "AirTags" in the way that you or I would say "Hoover" or "Marmite" or "Polaroid" - not to refer to Apple's specific product, but to internet-connected tags in general.
Ask HN: Why does the Ruble still hold 50% of its value?
Over the last weeks, the Ruble/USD ratio has declined by roughly 50%.

That means that some actors still buy Ruble for 50% of its old value. Who is that? What can they do with the Ruble they buy?

Here's a few things I think we need to learn from this.

> Lack of market concentration at end-user networks

After reading a lot on "resilience engineering" I wrote a chapter
"Technology is a diversity issue" in Digital Vegan. Ultimately the
BigTech situation in the US (and our dependency in Europe) is
antithetical to the original DARPA brief and overall national
security.

> significant amounts of users are Ukrainian companies

Local tech is local power and that's super important. Outsourcing
everything to potential future adversaries is a dumb move. People here
are already suggestion Microsoft weaponise Windows updates against
Russian society.

> Resiliency in IXPs

More interchange points means less choke points and single failure
modes. We are moving the wrong way in Europe and the US with greater
"AS Hegemony"

> Humans: determination of network operators in Ukraine to keep the
Internet running.

Deskilling is a problem in Europe and the US as we rely more and more
on "cloud" services. Having sysop skills distributed among the
population, and a culture in which sysadmins are well paid and
respected is a social technical resilience.
Depends on your use case. If it's piracy I would stick to services that have been subpoenaed and produced no records.
This is a huge assumption. I do almost all of my reading in my email client (mostly RSS to email that gets sorted into a Reading folder). Whenever I have some downtime I slowly read through the articles that have accumulated. I have no problem finishing long articles or anything else.
I find this to be a really odd and cynical take on Japanese culture. It’s true that the Japanese take pride in certain aspects of their culture - and rightfully so - but isn’t this true of every culture?

I am from the United States, where “American Exceptionalism” is a phrase that is used non-ironically. The American flag is plastered everywhere, and pickup truck commercials routinely go on and on at length about how tough Americans are. I find the Japanese to be quite modest by comparison.

I also think that the “fetishization” of every day items in Japan is not being driven by the Japanese, but by foreigners who are genuinely impressed by things they have seen there. I could go on at length about different things they do well in Japan that I would like to bring home. Today it is convenience store sandwiches.

Can I ask what country you are from where people don’t have any unique cultural offerings that they are proud of?

Difference: There are perfectly legal reasons to generate encrypted traffic;

All payment processing (ATMs, credit cards, online shops) generate encrypted traffic. Sending legal documents, technical data, company internals, contracts, etc. generated encrypted traffic. Sending sensible personal information like medical, indurance or financial records generates encrypted traffic.

Most of these cannot be sent unencrypted, without breaking fundamental processes in our society.

And there simply is no reliable way to differentiate between encryption used for legal or illegal reasons.
He said "ordinary citizens". The "occupiers" gave up their rights by holding an illegal protest. Canada has done nothing wrong to ordinary citizens.
I feel like the majority of celebrity tech companies are like this. They attract a certain kind of person who gets easily bored and needs interesting things to work on to stick around. There is also internal pressure to justify promotions by building things with "large impact". And CV padding to move onto the next big thing.

So you end up with lots of large, complex, engineering projects with virtually 0 or most likely negative actual business impact, to keep all the smart kids happy. And these beget more projects to deal with the complexity. It's pretty much Parkinson's Law applied to tech.

I know why "is" works like it does. I'm just pointing out that having two equal objects from the same source not be the same object IS idiomatic python. The reference implementation does it with something as basic as integers!

Substituting with id goes against the python spirit because "is" exists. I'm trying to argue that "is" probably shouldn't exist. It's a bit of a footgun.
Of course. Most people have figured out by now that "best toaster" will only get you horrible SEOd sites written by robots. This is why "best toaster site:reddit.com/r/toasters" gives you the actual best answer.
If you have already embraced the meme that “America is slowly collapsing” then your confirmation bias can make almost anything look like evidence of collapse.

Personally, I don’t see anything like that at play here.

It seems to me that if you went around asking invasive questions like this at any time in the country’s history you could have expected some subset of the population to react in the way that OP described.

If fact, given that the census conducts door-to-door interviews when people have not already voluntarily submitted the census form, it is to be expected that a good percentage of people interviewed just don’t want to answer the questions, and probably feel hostile towards the idea of cooperating with the census. That doesn’t mean that the society as a whole is hostile towards the census. There’s an overwhelming selection bias at play here.
They operate the way I expect. set -e fails when I don't handle the error code of a command. If my script eat it, it doesn't fail. I see no problems here.
ELI5 - Why can’t each country (or state) have it’s own node and proof of stake?
I wouldn’t say the media analysis is entirely overblown. The pearl district turned from a beautiful and fun place to visit to a place I can no longer safely walk through. Most shops are shuttered and people in clear psychosis are roaming the streets screaming at each other, threatening violence at passer-bys, etc. Even the 23rd avenue area is taking a turn for the worse in terms of being safe to walk through.

I’m curious what you think of those areas specifically.
Usually if you have a working freebsd system you know the handbook exist and you refer to it for that kind of instructions.

Twitter is implementing a change that will make it more difficult to view your timeline feed.

Twitter began rolling out its algorithmic timeline in 2016 (to much fanfare), and in 2018 introduced the spark icon, which allows you to switch between algorithmic and reverse timeline feeds. To me, the spark seemed like a reasonable way to coexist with the Home and Latest timelines, but with the change announced on Thursday, Twitter appears to be pushing users towards the algorithmic feed. Instagram, on the other hand, is experimenting with reporting the chronological flow of its users.
Have you considered the ethics of this?

Russia invaded the Ukraine, and we stoped doing business with them. They said fuck you, we will now just steal this shit and say its legal. That makes them the bad guy.

The west says, what Russia is doing is wrong and we will not do business with them anymore. Right now that still makes us the good guys. (I hope we don’t fuck it up)

Reacting to Russia making stealing software legal by breaking their stuff is morally questionable and to be honest not very efficient. At best it would make us assholes or opportunists, at worst it would make us evil too. What we can do is make sure you can’t download updates, bug fixes and drivers from Russia. They are stuck with what they have.

Sometimes doing what is right costs you. Not doing what is right when it costs you and only doing what is right when it benefits you doesn’t make you a good guy, it makes you an opportunist.
Because you cannot just jump in your container to debug. There are ephemeral containers for Kubernetes to add an image on top of a running container, for troubleshooting, but I haven't found something like that for Docker or Podman. You would need some kind of patchwork script where you untar an image and copy it inside the running container I guess.
Yeah it had a lot compared to the rest. Also probably the only one of those services where you can still play your collection.
> The Pfizer publications https://youtu.be/7YOD9drZasM are definitely being ignored by most media but are just one more nugget that those you called anti vaxxers that wanted the right to make their own risk analysis were right and those who sold you a lie did it knowingly.

Nobody doesn't have the right to make their own risk analysis. That's assuming they're capable of it and we both know that's not the case.

It really serves no purpose to link to these kind of videos, the ones with an official sounding title and authored by "a retired nurse teacher" who nonetheless calls himself "doctor".

If people don't waste 20+ min of their day sitting through the entire video and then picking it apart to have an endless back and forth of "ok but what about this other 90 page garbage pdf report I found" then it's like you've won the argument that nobody wants to have in the first place. This kind of stuff is rotting the internet from within like there's no tomorrow.
I loved the first three books when I read them back in the early nineties but The Gunslinger is my favourite of the series. It had a certain poetic beauty and mysterious quality to it that was unlike any other Stephen King book that I had read before – or since.
Nice point. I think they still started very young. I wonder if there are examples of late bloomer mathematicians, that did great work despite not learning any advanced maths before their 30s or 40s.

This is a great design and I absolutely love it. How does one build apps / custom behaviors for the hardware components?
Sounds like you need to set up a quick filter that moves these interesting but low urgency items into a "Read it Later" folder.

This is one of my favourite thins about email, it is a way to deliver something to me, but imposes no limitations on my workflow. I can customize however I want.

This is one reason I would never use a substack app. I don't want a different app for substack, medium, WordPress, blogger and have to check them all and learn their imposed workflows. I just want everything sent to my email then I can use the workflow that I want for all of the content.
Liquid is more like php that you can safely expose to end user for building email templates, page content etc… it enables developer to expose objects as what it calls drops. These can either contain simple properties or more complex functions … the nice thing is in the template you can do logic…
Good! If people want to replace their older machine, they can do so with the latest tech, which by law is also repairable.
This reminds me of one of my first jobs. A corporate C coding position about 1989 or so. The 386 had just came out and we had a couple of NCR 386 boxes that cost about $5000 each. I was called into a pretty high up meeting and recommended a new project be done on these as it was more than enough and they would ultimately need to put the hardware in various plants.

The VP who made the decision decided to go with a DEC VAX solution at about $250,000 per machine. I couldn't believe it. It was the start of my exit of fortune 500 work.

I found out later the DEC rep had taken him on multiple trips to Vegas and the Bahamas. Just they way it was done back then.

That company is no longer anywhere near the fortune 500.
I am waiting to see the reasoning why creative uses of Rust macros or generics aren't problem in the Linux kernel versus Ada/C++ (yes there was an Ada based distribution on the early 2000's).

There are plenty of OSes using C++, at very least on kernel drivers.
Russia has 140 million people, the world's 11th economy, and, despite the impression one might have watching the news, only US/Europe (plus usual dependencies in Asia) have imposed sanctions on them. That is to say, there is still a lot of trade between Russia and the outside world (and the central bank does not seem to be printing money like mad).

Edit: It looks like the 50% drop only last a day. The rubble has since steadily somewhat recovered to 'only' about a 30% drop, which may also be due to Russian government intervention.
I just hope we can get a trust-based network combined with search. So if I trust some friends and search "best toaster", and one of my trusted friends has given a very high review score to a toaster, then I get that one as the top search result.

Extend this to online communities, and you can ask "what laptop would HN recommend for Linux?", etc.

Of course, there's a privacy issue to solve, but the functionality could be very useful compared to the crappy Google search results for commercial products.
> Who is that?

There are 140 million people that live in Russia.

Buy their groceries, pay their taxes, that kind of thing.
Generating and Identifying Propaganda with Machine Learning
Probably the most HN response to this question possible. "Well you wouldn't need x if you just did Y instead, which is just better"
This really gets me. These "protestors" were given MULTIPLE warnings over many days to leave the area as this was no longer a simple protest, but had become an occupation of the downtown core. The "protestors" ignored the warnings and thought they were all above the law. The government had every right to do what it did with these people.

I'm 100% for a peaceful protest, but these people went WELL beyond that.
Reminds me of the "Songs of Innocence" U2 debacle.

You get less and less control over what you can do with Apple. They run a good PR game but they really like to micro manage so much.
Axios-Ipsos poll: Media habits defined the Covid culture war
Yeah I'm not talking about the advances, although way more writers than people realise have been given advances. Basically Substack has been forced to offer pretty hefty benefits to (try) to stop writers from leaving, there's a ton of "special programs" with various kinds of disguised cash that they offer to writers they want to keep (To my knowledge they've never given discounts on the 10% fee, but they give in-kind benefits to skirt around that). Hamish knows exactly what I'm talking about, if he wants to chime in!
This is an absurd conclusion. Time preference is a function of wealth, not the other way around.

If you are a billionaire and can't even spend all your money without being completely reckless then your wealth will grow by the sheer nature of the exponential function, i.e. you spend 3% of your wealth but it grows by 6% so your wealth will grow by 3% forever until the economic system collapses since you have completely absorbed it.

Your time preference is basically 0% as you are unable to spend the vast majority of your wealth.

The time preference of poor people is very high, because their fixed costs like shelter and food massively outweigh the capital gains they earn. Yet every single cent they spend is partially paying the capital gains of the rich.

This has nothing to do with not doing YOLO or being smart or being rewarded, the system is simply rigged.

If this was a free market the interest rate would fall below time preference. In fact, the interest rate would actually have to go negative, not because time preference can be negative, but instead because time preference is actually unable to capture the nature of interest to begin with. It's a complete myth that time preference and the interest rate are the same thing. It's fundamentally impossible as time preference can only exist relative to the highest risk free interest rate minus time preference.

What is the highest risk free interest rate? Fucking 0%. Why is a 0% interest floor terrible? Because the real world undergoes a permanent increase in entropy and requires a perpetual energy input to stand still. So, getting 0% interest actually requires someone, anyone, to pay a non zero interest rate which represents the amount of energy that was added to the system to keep it standing still. In other words, the interest floor is below 0% and we simply forced it to be 0% by decree, against the will of the vast majority of humans on the planet. This is not a free market, it's an oppressive and coercive market.

Obviously, it is impossible for us to simply declare entropy increase nonexistent. The dust we have swept under the rug is still there. It's accumulating. You can see a little mountain forming under the rug. Yes, I'm talking about inflation. Because we refuse to face reality, we either have to perpetually grow the economy to make the mountain of money seem appropriate or we implement negative interest rates through the backdoor, with inflation where people start noticing the dust mountain getting in their way.

No, a gold standard does not solve the fact that we are mortal. It's just another way of ignoring entropy by decree.
I would suggest an even more correct framing as in "the rest of the internet as discoverable by Google is unusable".

On a more serious side, I think, we may need to have another dimension to web search, regarding the type of origin, namely "conversational" versus "commercial" (to be applied to both text and image search). Something like this would provide a more generalized solution to the problem, instead of pushing one of the more commonly known origins to become yet another monopoly.
I'm going to say something crazy.

How about we just stop electing people who are going to use power against their own citizens? If you think that's impossible, then how about we change the system such that it is.

That seems much more constructive than erecting barriers for ourselves because we can't control the beast we've constructed.
Anyone remember Gil Gunderson ("Ol' Gil") from the Simpsons who one time tried to sell Colecos to the school with "rust proofing"? This article reads like its from entirely from the salesman's perspective, going through mumbles and ramblings about how a PC based solution was just as good as those stupid and expensive UNIX workstations. Nowhere is performance mentioned. Any machine capable of running CATIA would have outperformed a desktop PC at the time by orders of magnitude.

From what I have seen in Minneapolis/St. Paul, those are things (low-level, livability crimes) which have stopped being enforced over the past 5-10 years. We are starting to see the effects of this inverse-broken-windows social experiment, and it's not looking good, at least where I live.

e.g. Aggressive panhandling, tent cities, traffic infractions, public transit fare evasion, shoplifting (<$1k), etc.
