Our (five-zone) induction hob uses all three phases, it's connected using a 5-core cable.

Yes, but here in NZ heavy but most;y short lockdowns, and more importantly border closures have given us the time to get our vax rates into the 90%+ double vaxxed level - it means that Omicron is now zooming through, but our death rate from the beginning of the pandemic is likely to be relatively tiny compared with countries that let it rip - we just crossed 100 deaths total since the beginning of 2020 which is still more than the drop in the road toll in lockdown and reduction in deaths from flu - we're still ahead on the deal - it will get worse before it gets better but 99% of us will still be here.

China is in roughly the same position, apparently their vaccine isn't as good as the mRNA ones, but it still provides protection and again they've had the time to get most people vaccinated before omicron passes through, they'll be better off because of it
Yes. I can say anything I like about Xi Jinping when I'm on HN. HN is blocked in China btw.
I'm wondering what HN thoughts are for SafeInCloud? I don't sync passwords ever, but I'm curious as to the feedback from the HN community in general.
Is there a point you're trying to make with this question or are you just being defensive?
> The Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) was a British company founded in 1909 following the discovery of a large oil field in Masjed Soleiman, Iran. The British government purchased 51% of the company in 1914,[1] gaining a controlling number of shares, effectively nationalizing the company. It was the first company to extract petroleum from Iran. In 1935 APOC was renamed the "Anglo-Iranian Oil Company" (AIOC) when Reza Shah Pahlavi formally asked foreign countries to refer to Persia by its endonym Iran.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was actually comparable to the Flu. We've had case numbers falling off the cliff since the end of January only for them to start trending up again at the beginning of March. This isn't remotely like the seasonal behaviour of the Flu.
Fisher and Paykel has knobs as does Verona.
I live in New Zealand, we’re basically letting COVID rip now.

At least we were lucky enough to get to a high vaccination rate before Omicron started, it’s super infectious.

I got it despite 3 vaccinations and always masking up outside with KN95. But very mild which I guess was the point.

Because of the many lockdowns before, this was the strategy of the government, any more lockdowns would guarantee change of government next election.
Have you tried VS2022, which is basically a complete rewrite? In my limited experience, it's dramatically better than VS2019.
My point is about social distancing - it's convenient for incompetent leadership because it puts the onus on the population, which they then blame when caes rise, saying they haven't distanced enough. If only they'd provided masks from the start they'd fared better.
I know. I mean, look at Iran and North Korea. Clear success.
Is Uyghur incarceration also a conspiracy theory, or does CCP lie about that but never about COVID?

Lockdown now is not exclusive with false case and death numbers.
you mean the American state doesn't (usually) do that. Individuals certainly might though.
> Did they not tell you that in Belgium?

What's up with this pointless snarkiness? You're making it sound like the machinations of an evil propaganda machine, when in reality Belgium has been quite good at overreporting covid stats. Not sure which stats you're referring to as being "some of the worst in the world".
Why is handling a medical emergency properly, strange?
There’s no cure for stupidity but any thinking Russian will place the blame for the sanctions upon Putin, as there’s a clear cause and effect involved. Russia invaded Ukraine, then vast numbers of companies left Russia and the economy collapsed.

Propaganda works based on simple logic, be it truth or lies, and this simple truth is a lot more believable than the “Russian invaded Ukraine to rid it of neo-nazis” narrative that the Kremlin is trying to push.
I've heard this (and thought this myself), so many times regarding Covid - "Oh, that won't happen to us, we're different".

Whether it was China, or Italy, or South Africa.

At this point I don't think there's any way to actually stop Omicron, and we're very lucky it isn't more deadly.
Did a similar thing but made my flat. And it’s gen 1 :) https://herostrat.us/gary
I’ve been using CodeBook for several years and have been pretty happy with it. One time cost (per OS) and can sync over WiFi or to Dropbox/google drive. No browser plugins, instead it provides a global hot key activation which authenticates you (Touch ID or password), lets you search for the account then auto-types the password. On iPhone it integrates well for providing passwords to sites and they just recently added a feature which will also auto-copy 2FA TOTP into clipboard if one exists.

Git submodules are indeed a thing, and they're even supported by the `git` CLI, but I'm not sure I would go so far as to say that they're a first-class feature of Git :P
So you use a VPN/Tor and trust this connection?

Are you sure, the thought of "getting caught" does not influence your opinions?

Because I think, it would influence my opinions I would dare to share.

But I am ignorant about actual way of life in china, is it common and maybe even somewhat normal for tech people to have this freedom to just connect outside of the great firewall?
"They"? It's a whole bunch of independent countries with very different COVID policies, but virtually all are moving towards opening up, not locking down.
There's pass, a CLI password manager that's version controlled and encrypted with your PGP key: https://www.passwordstore.org/

Why do you think Alibaba (click the link!) has a thousand induction cookers, including ones with a spherical wok shape? You're saying the Chinese don't know how to stir fry?!
That has been a consistent pattern in .net, where the liked current tech withers on the vine to make place for the new thing. Instead of the new thing proving itself organically.
Your statement about Russia and its current engagement is correct (from what I read).

But the bigger point: while we wait and expect Putin to somehow fail (economically, militarily, or both), Ukrainians are dying.

Edit: when I write "wait", I mean "wait while the economic sanctions have a big enough impact". I'm not suggesting that nothing is being done neither that we should (or should not) engage militarily.
I've been cooking with induction for a few years. My hardware isn't fancy. I have owned a few countertop units, a format that meets my needs. The model I own now is a robust commercial version, 1800W. Works great with pans up to ~11in diameter (bottom).

UI is typical: buttons to set "heat" and "temp", plus on/off and timer. Good part is than buttons activate mechanical momentary contact switches that have a really solid "clicky" feel.

Overall it's a real pleasure to use, but it has its quirks. The biggest "issue" (not really a gigantic flaw) is the ambiguous controls re: heat and temp. Nominally the heat setting controls wattage, temp supposedly sets limits on temp erature of food. It's just very inconsistent, like setting temp to 160 degrees F doesn't have much to do with actual temperature as measured with a thermometer. But I've gotten used to how it works and very rarely overcook or burn stuff.

In the past I preferred gas, but that's not my first choice now.
Funny how differently the grandparent's anecdotic but positive comment and this anecdotic but negative comment are treated.
This is a paper from 25 years ago that interprets a study that happened 37 to 32 years ago. That study used sanctions data from 1914 to 1990, which are 108 to 32 years ago. I'm not sure this paper is valid in any way for today.
The case against induction cooking:

Somebody in my family has a cardic pacemaker.

Edit to add: I'm not pro gas cooking, just cannot use induction cooking. It's just not an option accessible to everyone.
> In Russia the situation is that most people actually support Putin

Russian here. I'm not so sure about the public support.

I've yet to see a single [Z] or [V] sticker on a car in my city. I haven's seen a single Uber driver excitedly telling me about "our victories" -- they've become much less chatty since the war started.

Yes, I saw a few video billboards with clumsy [Z] propaganda, but the ad companies may have been forced by the state to display it, under the threat of withdrawing their license to operate an ad business.

In my social circle (educated people -- architects, artists, IT, engineers, etc.) there's not a single person who supports the war. A few are in denial, but the majority is profoundly depressed by what's happening.

A personal datapoint: My wife hated everything Ukrainian for all her life, way before the war and even before the Crimea events. She has hardwired, biological, instinctual nationalism on a level that would be more appropriate for a football ultra. However, she's been genuinely horrified and gravely depressed since the first day of the war.
To a first approximation, China does not care about people posting outside the GFW in languages that are not Chinese.
This is such a circular and convenient argument. It's next to impossible to get to any conclusion other than "Russia Bad".

All you have to do to trigger this downward spiral/feed-back loop is to start an aura of "illegitimacy" and it's all downhill from there. Next thing you know, polls are "suspect", and "independent inspectors found evidence of". Or there was "intimidation at the polls". Then the government becomes a "dictatorship". Then it's magically no longer a democracy. Then it becomes a "regime" and all their wealthy elite become "oligarchs". Etc etc.

The dirty secret and why Russians and anti-west individuals are right is that these properties above magically start disappearing when the "right" people get elected. If it's a democratic election and the "wrong" person wins, then that must mean that the polls were tampered with. You can clearly see it in the drastically different rhetoric coming from the media when Trump won (it was due to Russian interference and hacking and bots and how Trump is now a dictator and how the "Far-Right" took over the whitehouse etc etc). But when Biden won and the other camp screamed election fraud, the narrative changed entirely and it was all about defending the legitimacy of the election.
Good enough in containing them, sure. Now imagine not containing them. Iran especially is desperate to remove sanctions on oil trade, so they could pump more money into their military campaigns.
No.

Venezuela had 'sanctions' starting on 2016, last year of Obama presidency. The scope of those sanctions is very limited to SOME individuals either in the Government and some business associates. There is no general embargo. And while the political scenario seems to no have changed very much, at least on the name and faces, the sanctions are the clear starting point on a big economic change that happened on 2018, where the economy opened up and was unofficially dollarized, probably by those who were not longer able to easily extract those dollars and euros into the US and EU (and fiscal paradises)like they were use to do. In this case, the sanctions had improved millions of lives and I guess that is good enough
Omnivision are not exactly known for image quality either. They're known more for being cheap and (mostly) decent for the price, but tend be noisier than e.g. Sony's sensors.
I suspect the west did that differently because of :

A) our political maps are very different to China's.

B) Population density is a lot lower in the west than in China.
Do you want to make money from Apple users?
What would be the United States's interest to mess up with GPS now?
I heard the problem expressed as a good ideas shortage versus too much investment capital. Interest rates have been incredibly low since the 2008 banking crash, so where does the spare capital go? There's not enough innovative ideas around (that investors like) to absorb the money. So some of the cash is getting thrown at complete nonsense and the remaining good ideas are receiving excessive capital. So there's a lot of inefficiency in there.
WOW super cool!
Doesn't matter if you can't build a grid with only those and still need gas or nuclear aside. The real cost of renewable in a functioning grid is probably 5 times higher of what's advertised when including externalities.
Not writing software, using it requires software literacy.

How many people do you know that refuse to learn the software they use everyday? How many times have you helped a friend or colleague with some problem just by googling it even when you don't really understand what they do for a living?

It's not that we need everyone to create software, but it would unlock huge productivity gains if everyone stopped pasting screen shots into word. Excel might be the most important knowledge tool of our time, and almost no one knows how to use it.
There is definitely a niche market for these kind of cookers, but induction has for as long as I can remember always been a flat surface.

That leads to touch controls with all the listed drawbacks, but it's nonetheless what has gained the most support.

For most i suspect the aesthetics of one clean flat surface wins out over alternatives, even though these alternatives are more usable for cooking.
I don't know how useful or interesting it is to know what has happened a handful of times it has been done before. Each instance is complex and unique and the same history is available to everyone involved... so it is very likely that things will be different in significant ways every time.

What is happening now is rather easy to see. The US is claiming that these are designed to hinder Russian oligarchs in the long term. They're not designed to take effect in months or years.

The problem with that is the Russian people will be impacted immediately and as unemployment and poverty grows, the Russian people will be more dependent on the government for everything much more so than they already are. This just gives them a very large population (145 million) on their side with not much to lose... which will put Europe in immense danger... which means good business for the American weapons industry, the puppetmasters of Biden.
Could also look at Three.js with React-Three-Fiber. Babalyon.js is also popular but since you mentioned React the R3F route might work.

> Of course Electron is winning [...]

Winnig from the side of the business or developer, but absolutley not as a user. UX ist just so bad with many Electron apps. They feel slow (and usually they are), they miss a lot of OS specific usability. That's not a win-win.
>Fitting more and more smaller pixels on the same sensor doesn't improve anything at all (lower DR, lower low light perf

They improve sharpness if optics can resolve them. Also, having more data will might ease autofocus algorithms and computational photography techniques.

Low light and DR depend solely on the quantity of light falling on the sensor. That depends on scene illumination, sensor size and lens aperture,not on pixel size.

However, having a huge resolution is a waste of storage and processing power if the optics can resolve much of those pixels. And it could slow things down.
Can back this up, the android client is a little finicky but otherwise love this setup. Made by the same person behind wireguard.
That sounds like horrible usability; it's going to be in the way all the time, especially if you're a tad tall. I bet that's the far more important reason than aesthetics. I already don't like the regular ones because I need to be careful not to bump my head in to it.
America has a large portion of English speakers. It historically had a large portion of people with direct ties to the UK. Haiti had plenty of people with ties to France and still has French speakers. Taiwan has Chinese speakers and people with family in China.

There's a clear pattern here. But Russia pays people to pretend that Russian speakers means it's their land to stabilize. When in reality, it's a completely irrelevant statement.
Fukushima has killed only a handful of people. Fossil fuels kill hundreds of thousands of people every year.
If they keep quiet about the issue, the public might protest about their inaction. If they make a move like they've done now, it's going to look like they are pro hate speech which also does not look good from the perspective of humanity.
KeePass' UI is quite clunky, but last time I checked you couldn't even do proper keyboard navigation with Bitwarden, or auto-type outside the browser...
I greatly empathize with anyone who lost a loved one to Covid over the past two years. Sorry for your loss.

However, I do think that the reason we took lockdowns as a solution is because China did the same in the first place. But I don't think we should do that again.

I will speak for myself, and I have no epic reason, I am just tired of it all.
As you suddenly don't have only one result you need to test and polish, but many different ones.

In the case of WebGL you need to account for more than the browser. If the user's GPU is on Chrome's blacklist then they won't see anything - and the only way to do that is using the GPU detection functions I mentioned. You have to do progressive enhancement for 3D stuff. And if you've implemented it for that then you have the necessary infrastructure in the code to do it for performance as well, so it's not hard...
Yes, and that is bad. But so is Russia. We should stop dealing with both, but not trading with one is better than trading with both, right?
Gaggenau got knobs, pricey though.

You also can add a local secret file just for extra safety. I also love that I can store Git and SSH authentication and do auto-type outside the browser as well
The submission process has been quite okay and fair for me (I've been lucky I guess) but the very low quality ecosystem (xcode, appstore connect, testflight...) is going to make me quit at some point, I already consider the platform legacy and "best-effort".

The very first paragraph of Wikipedia even says Azov formed as a consequence of something.

That reason? To push Russian forces out of their country.

If Russia weren't terrorizing the region, Azov would not exist. Russia pays to astroturf the claim that Azov is some thing that appeared out of nowhere when it's a group that formed directly to keep Russia and its violent militias out.
"Cooler Screens CEO Avakian said he developed the concept after watching in-store customers whip out their phones to find product information and reviews."

Naturally consumers want less information asymmetry when buying things, that's why they seek external reviews. Let's try to add more to this asymmetry by hiding the actual product behind some manipulative short films!

Why do American companies hate the free market?
There are structures you could set-up which could shield you. For example, a LLC within a S-corp, where you are share holder of the s-corp (as person, trust, or with another LLC), but not owner of the first LLC. Then the LLC holds the IP, and you are now entitled to part or full ownership through shares. However, that does not shield you from lawsuits if anyone would find out.
To me, it seems more like "throw everything on the wall and see what sticks".
I think that "run the timer" might well have been the initial strategy for the reasons you state but I think it's naïve to think that things are progressing according to that strategy.

The sanctions are much harder than anyone predicted and with a country that is, unlike North Korea, tightly integrated in supply chains through the world, they are hitting Russia hard. Now, Putin may not care about that and he obviously has no problem with letting people suffer so the war might continue for a few weeks but I doubt that we will see it lasting years, simply because I think they will not have the resources.
> You're basically talking about signing an agreement with your LLC that you know violates your employment agreement and signing the agreement as an officer of the LLC that the LLC knows violates the employment agreement of the person (you). Seems like that creates plenty of liability on both sides of the coin.

Not only that, but it very quickly moves the nature of the liability from civil to criminal, which then has potential further impact on you in the future.
Good to hear that the public opinion is changing. It strengthens the case that it is important to provide proper information more than ever.
You can't assign something you don't own, and if you've signed an IP assignment agreement it's not yours anymore. Your best bet is to get a carve out for your specific side projects, or find a job somewhere that will accommodate you if you care enough.

*This like everything on this thread is terrible advice. You need a lawyer.
That's an arbitrage, then, if both sides are immediately available. Then it's just a question of how much profit can you lock-in.
>There has to be a market for people that want appliances that just... work.

I bet none of the commercial induction cooktops are internet of shit devices.
To deny access to Russia is one reason. Not saying it's the only reason, or that it's not more likely that Russia has done this.
And that is so unbelievably stupid! The flat surface for your pans is already infinitely better than on a gas stove. I want knobs and be able to quickly dial the heat up or down on the burners. I do not really care if I still have to clean the knobs now and then. And I want non-discrete settings. And I do not need the device to beep loudly if I change from '5' to '9' every time I press a button
The USA (and UK) seem to have entirely lost sight of the fact that there are strategic industries, capabilities and products as a result of a blind devotion to the ideology of the "free" market and a belief that globalisation is forever and always and that you'll always be able to buy whatever you need from whomever you want. The requirement to purchase some domestically made products is a hedge against such events as a global pandemic or large scale war. Innovative, high tech, high skill manufacturing is important, but so is boring, non innovative, low margin manufacturing that provides resiliance.
>>You can get a haircut for 3-4$ on the street in some countries in SE Asia.

For anyone with a brain watching the lesson will be: you get to invade other countries when you have enough friends, or at least, not enough opposition. Which has been the case since countries started being a thing.
