I can add my 2 bits. I know all the staff at my local diner; I chat with the owners and chefs regularly. We talk about food, the weather, their college schedule, vacation plans. Then I eat eggs and potatoes and go my merry way.

It's much better than sitting alone at a corner 1-person table, at least for me.

Any club is the same way - people who are not (all) your friends but you get along with and have something to do together.
yes, that's the true "reference" implementation, i just figured a repo from sidewalk labs (a google company) would be maybe more authoritative.
Covid, the opioid epidemic, and stagnant wages for working people are just some of the problems contributing to all of this. Better enforcement might help, but the fact that this country incarcerates such an unusually large fraction of the population indicates solving this problem will not be so simple.
> "and are recyclable after that."

Ohh come on... Apple requires them to be shredded, after which some of the base metals can be recovered but there is still a ton of waste in that.

> products can easily last a decade

As long as you are fine with them reducing your battery life to get you to upgrade.

Apple, and the carriers have lots of incentive programs design to get people to "upgrade" the phones and when using those programs those phones go strait to recycle (i.e shredder)

Recycle is the LAST RESORT for sustainability, remember the triad is "REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE" Apple only even plays lip service to the Recycle part, and want to prevent the Reduce and Reuse part by preventing / disincentivizing repair and resell.

This is not true. Gift cards bought on Ebay always worked well for funding a foreign app store account.
I’ve had good success with Sony Bravia professional displays. They seem to be very close to the consumer-grade version in terms of features and capabilities with just the firmware being different (bare Android TV) and cost-wise are maybe just 1/3 more expensive than the equivalent consumer version.
I’m okay with this as long as it doesn’t impede engineering efforts from making smaller devices.
I'd say you're dead wrong here - just look at the pushback against seatbelts when the laws were introduced. Look at the devices on sale, today, to defeat seat belt alarms.

Regarding your second point, that's also objectively incorrect. When accidents happen, passengers, especially backseat passengers, become projectiles that cause additional injuries or excess deaths for other occupants. It's not just the dude not wearing a seatbelt dying, it's also the people around them.
In late thirties I changed country and joined a coworking regularly. 5 years later I have maybe even more friends than during University times is my feeling (maybe I got lucky). Same could work with joining other kind of communities (hobby, sports etc.).
As was just pointed out, making the part isn’t a large fraction of the cost of a replacement part. So, they need to both make the part and handle the full logistics chain to undercut prices.
What about heating or cooling hundreds of homes during the day vs heating or cooling a single office? Same with lighting (though less impactful).
I’m not sure about anything around this story, because in good HN tradition, the original link is to some guy’s 5 second summary of an article in a language I can’t read. But it doesn’t seem implausible to me that government regulators could have overlooked important technical factors while pursuing a politically advantageous agenda.

The only thing I'm confused about is why a reporter can't use a term like "ethnic tension" as a high-level overview term and then also devote many paragraphs to explain in detail the precise meaning in that particular context. Seems like that is how reporting works in every other domain.

Offering low cost parts cannibalises new sales. Over-charging on parts is a cash cow as you now sell more full price machines, the only cost is the decimation of the environment and waste of limited planetary resources .. but shareholders make even more money, so who cares /s.
> If they are not generating profits then how come we accuse them of extracting rent

Just as it was possible for a medieval king to have terrible finances by spending more on war/security than he collected in rent from Barons, a tech company can lose lots of money by spending more on customer acquisition/platform maintenance than collected in rent from suppliers.
"Occupying forces" is equivalent to forces whose objective is to replace the current governmental system with their own rule of law. Given Mexican gangsters aren't replacing the governmental systems in these areas, this remains compatible with the assertion that "death to Mexican gangsters" lacks the proper identifying keywords to be allowed on platforms with rules against hate speech.

Just because some people (a subset of a given group and their consensus on topics) think Mexican gangster are occupying forces, doesn't actually make them occupying forces. It just means those people are incorrect in their assumptions about what is true, or not, as viewed by the governing group, in a given area.
Well, if you succeeded in stealing it, some gov’ts would definitely topple.

Not OP, but some things from my own life that came from casual acquaintances:

* Meeting new friends through them

* shared activities

* Getting new perspectives

* Invites to parties (some very social casual acquaintances have huge parties)

* Business connections

* Fun and laughter

* If at a shared event or location, casual chit chat and friendliness

You get all those with close friends too, but you can have many more casual acquaintances more quickly.

If you’re not getting that it’s possible you’re not meeting the right kind of casual acquaintances or maybe you yourself aren’t the type to attract/benefit from such acquaintances. (Which is fine, you can do perfectly well without casual acquaintances)

A good definition of close friend is anyone with whom you’ve discussed a deep personal issue with within the past year, who isn’t family. (Or that you absolutely would feel comfortable doing so with)

I’m counting things below that as casual acquaintance/loose friendship. It’s possible I’ve set the friendship bar higher using that definition.

Also, casual acquaintances are usually how you develop new friends. See someone in a context enough times, realize you’re getting along, start hanging out more, etc. People complain about a lack of ability to make friendships with age and a big part is losing the contexts that allow for casual acquaintances.
Sustainability-wise, parts need to have a significant mark-up. Otherwise:

1. People will either themselves bodge devices together, or get someone else to do so.
2. Companies will find it hard to sell new products if they can all be fixed easily. If the parts have a mark-up, they can be a good revenue stream.

Unfortunately, companies are greedy and still make stuff hard/impossible to repair while charging high mark-ups for what can be.
Regulators are ultimately subordinate to the laws and thus the voters. That process is just really slow.
> i lost all my friends to marriage and family life

This I can very much relate with, a lot of my formerly good friends I never see anymore because they have literally negative amount of free time, they are already cutting into their health and sleep just trying to raise 2 kids, a dog, a cat, 2 full-time jobs, and unethical amounts of on-call time. I don't think they are all doing "well" either, honestly, but they don't have time for friends, even if I try to get coffee them they usually end up having to bail in 20 minutes.

I remember when these people would go on long hikes with me, build stuff together, play duets, support each other through sickness and other times of trouble, but that is no more.

I'm okay because I've been fortunate enough to be able to find new friends, but yeah, I understand this phenomenon.

Society is just too demanding of people in general. There used to be a time in history where only one parent worked, and in theory now that both parents work they should only theoretically need to each work half time, but that isn't what reality accepts right now, reality wants both to work full time plus some more.

I have a vanishingly small but nonzero number of friends who seem to manage family life very well, including things like alternating each parent taking over 100% of kid responsibilities for a few days at a time which gives the other parent the freedom to basically do whatever they want or need to do including hobbies or social life, but that number is really quite small, and most of them have money to hire help or have close family in the area.

> Impossible to find friends as a single man in lat 30's

It's much easier if you're in the right place. I can definitely say late 30's is no problem at all to make friends if you're in the bay area.
I take your point about complexity, however generating avatars client-side does not degrade gracefully.

Reminds me of California’s prop 65: everywhere and on everything you can buy there is a warning that the place/thing could cause cancer. Technically true, but the information isn’t actionable because it is so broad.
As someone who bought a Framework to try to support a better model, my #1 complaint about it by far is that the battery is essentially worthless. It maybe gets 3 hours of use on a full charge, and 9 hours while closed and hibernated.

I returned a M1 Macbook Air to get the Framework instead, so essentially, I've now paid 50% more to get a laptop with almost infinitely worse battery life when idle and 3-4x worse battery life in use. It's also slower, heavier, thicker, and has a screen resolution that a lot of apps don't know how to use well.

At this rate, I better be able to replace the battery because I'm having to do a full charge/discharge cycle multiple times a day if I'm not just constantly leaving it plugged in.

I love the idea of it in theory, but it's essentially a worse laptop than even the decade-old Apple laptops that did have replaceable batteries.
> "failed login attempts"

At least with SSH, once you move to only using key-based authentication, don't you simply stop worrying about weak passwords and failed logins?

You can then focus on keeping up to date with security patches, which is at least as important, but takes far less time.
I'm actually shocked that you're the first one to mention it. Only use public key logins and if you're not targeted and if it's practical in your workflow change the port (definitely not for security, only so that sshd won't eat as much CPU time from bruteforce attempts).
What if you could sneak off with some every day with no one noticing?

The criminal penalties are heavy and the investment in countermeasures is extreme BECAUSE the motivation/enticement and payoff is high.
I remember that upright vacuum cleaner (it's a vacuum cleaner without a long flexible pipe, it's just a long arm with wheels). I did not buy this.

The head was pivoting and had a small part of a flexible pipe.

After 6 months or so, that flexible pipe broke, it was impossible to fix it properly even with a strong duct tape. They asked about 100 euros to remplace the ENTIRE head part. The seller said "normal wear".

It's impossible to find a solution for this, unless you create some "durable design" label, which would essentially be an independent company testing every devices and items out there, and certifying those object as being "durable enough". The brand would just use those certifications.

Same thing for right to repair.

There are durable brands (Miele for example), but they are so much of a niche that they overprice their articles. Consumers are never aware because it's difficult to know what part will break and when.

Oddly, there are almost no brand that advertise the durability of their product. It's very easy to suspect all those brands agree with each other to not make durable items. Such anti competitive practices are often quite difficult to prove.

Look at how Louis Rossman spent YEARS making video for people to hear about just Apple. The electrical appliance is also a huge market, and electrical appliances will break more often, so without doubt it makes it much much harder to fight.
This is the best recommendation for a product you could ask for.
> instead of trying to investigate and figure out the complex land dispute or other nuanced issue that caused a fight.

Because the original cause is often irrelevant. A random spat about land might be what sparks conflict, but ethnic tension is what fuels it and keeps it going. And yes, "ethnic" is a complex word, mixing issues of religion, culture, language, ancestry, "tribe"-level social organization and whatnot. Guess what, these things get mixed up
all the time anyway, and having a single word to describe the resulting mess is highly useful. The world is complex. Deal with it.
The point of the article is that the term "ethnic tension" is used as a crutch, in lots of places, to avoid doing the actual reporting on what conflicts are about. You can use the term and still do the work, but if you don't use the term at all, you have to do the work, hence the style guide ban.
My Sony Bravia professional display does support HDCP. I suspect it’s actually the same hardware as the consumer version but with a different firmware. So maybe if this is a concern look for models that have equivalents in the consumer range rather than purpose-built professional displays which might lack HDCP-compliant hardware.
This repo needs some history cleanup. Why bundle godot itself?
Wouldn't it suffice to have a rather imprecise time + counter in the GPS message? So if multiple messages arrives the one with the largest count is kept.

I wonder if the problem lies in a different aspect of needing to authenticate messages quickly enough and thus requiring more processing power.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but it seems that you've interpreted my interpretation of the words in the article as being isolated from the context of the article, which it isn't.

I didn't think I needed to so comprehensively elaborate on such a simple point, but for the avoidance of doubt: the article implies the word is bad for the purposes of informative and accurate journalism.
When you get the SxS error it should be telling you exactly where to look in the message "Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail". The application event log in event viewer will have the detailed error message and sxstrace will inspect a given file and tell you what it depends on. At no part does anything suggest shotgun installing every redistributable you can find is something that is going to help e.g. it very well could be you already have the right redistributable (which is likely since they are packaged in the Afterburner installer itself) but something about the system is borked preventing it from loading.

Nothing about this or the way redists are managed seems hopelessly complicated. Also there is nothing it can do but die at the first error in this case, it's not side modules or components failing to load it's the stuff like memcpy and iostream for the main process of the app.
I am sure the regulators are not being totally honest. My folks in CA live in a gated condo residence, where recently Prop 65 signs in giant metal placards have been posted at the entrance, with the warning that "cigarette smoke and cooking gas" might be polluting the area and giving you cancer. No mention of open air garages under every building, the nearby highways, etc.

My point is, regulators let the businesses protect their assets, without giving people the real information.
Categorizing this policy as an Orwellian "destruction of words", when simply reading the piece makes it clear that the intent is greater accuracy, is analogous to the laziness of throwing everything into the "ethnic tensions" bucket.
Do they though? You want to stop using your LLC? My state’s advice is “don’t renew the registration next year.” It’s called “administrative dissoluton” and requires no money.

That was a thing until VS2015, as far as I can tell; the older versions let you install all minor releases in parallel.

And many Windows developers choose to rather install the specific minor version they used globally, instead of just vendoring it in the program folder (even though the license allows it, hence "redistributable").

Right now my machine has no less than 4 versions of the 2008 redist installed globally, for each x86 and x64.
"even though people there shared the same ancestry"

It's right there. They are not different ethnicities. They are different religions. The whole point of this is to avoid intellectual laziness and there you go proving their point.

If anyone is upset that the people of the German "Democratic" Republic got to join the rest of "We, the people" in a free Federal Republic, they're cordially invited to go fuck themselves.

The same would go ten times over for anyone feeling that way about the much more oppressed North Koreans.

A society that changes its narrative every otver day sounds like America. And it is becoming less free by the day, though less by government coercion and more due to private actors falling in line behind ideology and the idea that neutrality is not just overrated, but wrong and immoral.

That the punishment is not prison but people going after your job (and often succeeding at it, and people thinking such thibgs are ok) doesn't mean the society is free.

Contrast a society where the government executes you for being gay, where it throws you in prison and a society where everyone looks at you funny and your family disowns you. The degree of coercion differs in all, but are gay people fully free in any?
...well, relative to the response I got at a different branch, it was an incredible relief to me.

It works the same in both ways, you just need the height difference and two reservoirs. When you need the electricity, the water flows downstream into the mine reservoir. Then it gets pumped up again when it's cheap. I do wonder about the economic feasability, but maybe I'm underestimating the amount of empty volume available in a mine.
More than USD$75K? I find it hard to believe.
The benefit of the assembly line, robots, consolidation into a factory, and salaries of people dedicated to the assembly process is obviously easily enough to account for this difference. That's why factories exist.

If you don't believe that mass production has benefits, you have to come up with some alternative explanation for the 20th century.
KYC might be needed for internet access - TV’s SIMs can very well be restricted to a specific APN that only allows traffic to the ad & telemetry servers, no longer counting as “internet” access for legal purposes and thus not requiring KYC.
Surely the illegitimate government would be the rebels, they're the ones rebelling against the proper rule of law. The group that won the election is the rightful government.

Even if you disagree, it should be plain the term is ambiguous enough that it's probably better to just not use it. What is gained by calling either group "rebel" as opposed to "armed?" With either you'd need more information to have an understanding of the situation.

Are you able to tell the whole environmental, social and impact on wars of any device you buy? Personally I can't.

I also think that making the end user the sole responsible for the impact of the whole chain action is horrible. This is exactly what the ad with the fake native american crying about littering in the us was about. Let's company introduce an insane amount of plastic in the environment with no idea how to re-process it once used, the sole responsibility of the pollution will be the last person in the chain: the consumer.

It brings me to the last point, isn't it's the role of a government elected by the people? To represent them and balance the power?
