That's my kind of hotel, just a business that makes their money on exactly what the fuck it looks like they're making the money on.

I once stayed at a place that had super, super cheap refreshment rates on the mini-fridge. Cheaper if you got them at a store obviously, but not punishing like most other hotels, less than double the supermarket rate. Guess what? I made them tons of money, it was super convenient, I didn't go out of my way to avoid them.
beat? I didn't realise it was a competition. American food is just very sweet compared to European food. You Americans are always so competitive about inane stuff.

Also, there's a distinct difference between "we have food from elsewhere" and fusion food. There are specifically British-Indian and British-Italian dishes. I know that's the case with Italian-American and Chinese-American fusion food too - it's also sweeter, because yet again, American food is sweeter than European food.
The one reason I don't use systemd timers is that they don't have an automatic, reliable way to send me an email with their output.
The primary reason to use cash or otherwise anonymous means of payment as much as possible is to allow for incomplete enforcement of laws. Quite literally, to enable free trade.

We don't want perfect enforcement of the law. It doesn't allow for progression towards a better state of being. It's as if you just cement your current way of life forever with very limited movement permitted per cycle.

For example, imagine if we had ubiquitous mass surveillance in the 1960s and the processing power to back it to the degree that we do now. Homosexuality would probably still be illegal because no-one would have been able to form the movement to change that.

Being able to do something that is (currently) illegal is a strictly preferable state of affairs to having it be completely impossible.

Imagine that you just couldn't transfer money to a friend because the Government has strictly delineated between businesses and "consumers" because that's the 90%+ use case and it doesn't really affect the aggregate economy that much to just ban individual-individual transfers. e.g. "Using a card is more convenient cause I just do a tap on the machine". Except no, it's not, because only businesses have card terminals. So you're restricting the free flow of trade over time.

Each individual 'outside of the norm' use case is quite small, all of them added together is massive.
Ask HN: Should Microsoft Brick PCs in Russia?
I was thinking that if Microsoft pushed a critical update containing a secret dead man switch to Russian endpoints they could then revoke all software licenses in Russia and brick them remotely. Thoughts?

It doesn't seem fair that Microsoft should allow them to actively subvert licensing going forward.
That’s a possible explanation.

However I’ve heard of very few people that prefer the algorithmic feed on Twitter, might be a bubble effect though.

The big part is time spent I think. I see the same thing with Instagram: I have about 120 accounts that I follow, mostly friends of mine.

I check the feed once a day and after 5 minutes I’m done.

But I also know quite a lot of people that spend hours on Instagrams explore page and with reels.

With your own carefully curated list there is a limited amount of content you can consume, until you inevitably leave the app.

But as you can see with TikTok or Instagram people spend hours on algorithmic feeds.

I love baguettes, but have NEVER had a good one outside of France, even in Europe. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places :shrug:

I live in London and have not had one decent baguette here, even from the so-called "French" bakeries/boulangeries. So extremely bready and tough, yuck.
It's all taxes, and it all goes to the same pot, there's no hypothecation, the NHS budget is not related to the money brought in from NI contributions, and National Insurance is included in the tax revenue along with VAT, Fuel Duty, CGT, Stamp Duty, Income Tax, etc

NI is about 19% of tax revenue, Income Tax 27%, VAT 18%, local taxes (council tax and business rates) about 10%.

It doesn't include other receipts, things like profits from state owned business.

Total government revenue (about 10% higher than total taxation) does not cover total government expenditure, hence a deficit, and some branches of economics considers revenue and expenditure separate in a system which controls its own currency.

Either way, the US spends more on government healthcare (per head of total population) then the UK, the decision not to have universal healthcare isn't a funding one
Metal Gear Solid 4 (2008 ps3 game) has this opening cutscene:

“War has changed.

It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines.

War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine.

War has changed.

ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities.

Genetic control, information control, emotion control, battlefield control…everything is monitored and kept under control.

War…has changed.

The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction, and he who controls the battlefield, controls history.

War…has changed.

When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine.”

This is a great opening because while Solid Snake speaks, you are presented with a 5 minute showcase of everything unchanged about the war.
Those metadata tags were just a simple textual description and a bunch of keywords with no reference to any controlled vocabulary. This is what made them so easy to abuse. Modern schema-based structured data is vastly different, and with a bit of human supervision (that's the "third party vetting") it's feasible to tell when the site is lying. (Of course, low-quality bulk content can also be given an accurate description. But this is good for users, who can then more easily filter out that sort of content.)

One could even let this vetting happen in decentralized fashion, by extending Web Annotation standards to allow for claims of the sort "this page/site includes accurate/inaccurate structured content."
Can someone explain, how can this be used over unsecure networks. You still have metadata leak. Right?

The one feature I wish Twitter lists had is turning off retweets by account in a list. Currently, a retweet-generous account will pollute the entire list. You can turn off retweets only for accounts you actually follow, and it applies only to your main timeline, not the lists.

On 10 March 2022, photographs of an M-427 unit surfaced on the internet, allegedly confiscated by Ukraine from a seized Russian command post near Kiev (Ukraine) [1][2]. It is currently unclear whether this is indeed the case, or whether this is misinformation.
The only (but arguably) remaining defense against BGP-hijack crypto heists is for you to run your own DNS resolver/caching in your own host that is configured only to allow to emit DNSSEC-verified DNS answers while you use your web-based cryptowallet.

This DNSSEC-only DNS caching is not a common thing to find in most desktops because it impacts many web sites that do not use DNSSEC (looking at you, Google.com).

Of course, this is assuming that your cryptowallet provider is ALSO using DNSSEC properly.

Sadly, none of today’s web browsers (including all of the DNSSEC Validator web browser extensions, that I could find) perform any detection for bad/unsigned DNS queries , much less do any active defensive blocking.

I blame the web browsers’ developers for this disabling of these DNSSEC validation capabilities through their poorly-planned but overly restrictive efforts in deploying newer browser extension APIs.

Those tested DNSSEC Validator browser extensions USED to be working but only back then and ONLY in passive detect mode; nowadays, they’re just a dead extension garnering nothing but downvotes).

Your only practical day-to-day recourse to all that jazz is to establish a windowed VM that does this DNSSEC-only DNS caching and any choice of a major web browser for the bestly secured crypto-exchanges. QubesOS is one such excellent option but VMware or VirtualBox would do just fine in a pinch.
I've used https://all-inkl.com and https://hetzner.de both worked, all-inkl I thought had pretty good support.
Most people here have a good software engineering job that pays a good $$ amount that they can use to buy regular crap. Most people here do not care about the economy or the effects the government has on economy. Most people here also "oppose" tyranny but would rather have convenience with authoritarianism than freedom with costs.

> The government was never meant to have the power over the economy they currently do.

Indeed. The government should never give tax breaks to specific industries. Most people here will think it's a good idea to promote green energy through tax breaks or government investments. But that's the literal definition of a controlled economy (aka communism) except it's done with some extra steps.

In a free economy, the government should be funded solely to serve the necessities that can't be served by private companies. The tax rate should be the same for all industries. Industries should pay for their "externalities" (ie: pollution), however.

It's helpless but it took me a decade to figure out that there are no dictatorships/authoritarianism: There are only people who submit.
If you need images of the same exact size for them to look the same then there is no point to having new codecs.
Ok. The thing is that dominant social networks (including HN) have been censoring dissent points of view to Bidden's handling of Ukraine's problem. This video may have several truths in it or may be none, but if you are going to disqualify it. You have to give evidence that what is said is incorrect, incomplete biased, etc...Otherwise the one buying propaganda is you...
I always imagine their user counts are quite low compared to other social media.

Where I live I’m quite the outlier for using Twitter, very few people use it. Most that do work in tech.

Is that different in other parts of the world? Is Twitter mainstream social media that almost everyone you know has?

And even then it doesn't show the full idiocy of the regime. The paranoia, the arrests, the prisons, torture and rape, the scheming, the show trials, even the westerns, it's all true.

Oh yeah, marmalade is great - but breakfast is often sweet in the UK with things like marmalade or jam on toast, porridge with honey, or continental breakfast (pain au chocolat, croissants). Sandwiches, on the other hand, are a lunch food and rarely if ever sweet.
There wasn’t a 2010 long form. The 2010 census had about 10 questions: sex, race, age, ethnicity, as well as your relationship to the primary homeowner and whether the home was owned or rented. Nothing about money or jobs.

There used to be a long form in 2000 and before, but this was spun off around 2005 to become a separate annual sample-based survey called the American community survey.

This isn't limited to EV's.

I drive a 20 year old car, my local government is pushing for me to buy a newer one "cos emissions". Which is ridiculous - I drive it infrequently enough that the cost of just making the body of a new car and nothing else would outweigh the savings.

The endgame seems to basically be that I move out of the city, which would be a massive own goal emissions/energy wise because it's far more costly for me to bop around on my own land miles away from services than it is for me to use my car once or twice a week whilst taking public transport most of the time. Perfect is the enemy of the good.

This. The Internet needs search. I took a screenshot the first time Google showed only ads and no organic search.

It's critical to the functioning of the free market that consumers have accurate information.

The fact that Google is crap is less important. The fact that Google squashes competition and there is no unbiased search engine, is of national interest.

Current situation is because of a combination of Google's monopoly abuse and the fact that US govt does not recognise that search engines are(is) the entry point to a significant market.
If you believe in the free market, then the state of Google search indicates huge inefficiency. A lot of people treat the term free market to mean "I, personally, am free to get rich, however I can, at the expense of everyone else." Which is pretty much the opposite of what it really means. It really means "you are free to join the market and compete on equal terms."
Under those conditions best product/price should win.
I stand to be corrected. But deficit should also be included (it's to be paid by future generations or being paid by currency debasement).

Why is it not put your transaction history into a database that the government can subpoena if they want to know what you've been buying, which all of us have already been doing if you're not conducting transactions in cash?

> if an advanced economy issues a CBDC, and someone in a 3rd country wants to use it, it will require the consent of the central bank of the residence of that person

This is so terrible.

There are countries who try really hard to control the USD exchange rate of their own currency. In practice, it means anyone getting paid in USD has their money confiscated and forcibly exchanged for their own nearly worthless local currency at absolutely terrible rates.

I've seen people posting about it here on HN: they claimed the government was pocketing about 50% of their earnings through this process and that bitcoin is a better proposition.
