Worth noting that the benefits of DNS over TLS/HTTPS (with encrypted SNI) are a bit limited. For cases where a very large number of domains are hosted on a single IP address (or pool of IPs) it's effective at masking your destination from network sniffing. (sites behind Amazon Cloudfront, Cloudflare's free plan, Google App Engine/Cloud Run, old school web hosts, etc.)

But there are still tons of sites with their own IPs, or pool of IPs, in which case seeing the destination IP will reveal what domain you're visiting with no need to observe DNS traffic or SNI. i.e. 199.232.125.140 is Reddit and only Reddit. If you visit https://199.232.125.140 you get an error that the cert is for *.reddit.com.

If your goal is to prevent your network operator from seeing even the domains you're accessing, encrypted DNS + encrypted SNI helps but doesn't get you all the way there. A VPN (or Tor) is the only true solution there. However I imagine this is a relatively uncommon need, at least for most people on HN.
Except that a school bus tends to operate a diesel in its worst conditions.

Lots of idling. Lots of low RPM operation. Lots of stop and start wasting a lot of energy into the brakes.

A school bus is practically engineered to be an EV propaganda piece.
To celebrate, here's a piece of beaver-related trivia:

The Cistercians often chose places between landscape features, e.g. where a river comes out of a wooded forest. Since they often started communities in the bottoms of valleys they had to drain excess water and reclaim land for agriculture. They often accepted donations of land deemed unusable because of drainage problems, since they were expert in the construction of waterworks. With the new bodies of water they developed fishing activity. For this reason they were dubbed the "human beavers of Europe."
With respect, I don't feel you've defended anything. Some blockchains may be less wasteful than others, but almost every popular one is very energy intensive and IMO you haven't even talked about the elephant in the room: do they provide value in the first place?

You mention some lofty things that would be nice to solve like housing, but there exists no connection between blockchain and those things, and no information on how blockchain would re-organize incentives or even if it is the right tool for the job. I fail to see the defense here.
There is definitely truth to this statement. However often when I write something that’s hard to type, it’s a code smell. Ex. A complex nested map should probably be represented by a few concrete classes/abstractions.

(Similar to when you something you wrote is hard to test, it’s probably just poorly abstracted code.)
Is there a specific data set you are referencing? How about other components like Ownership and Support?
> But to be fair, its not discrimination against the Russian people, its discrimination against a particular ideology that is predominantly held by the Russian people.

To be even more fair, it's both.

There are plenty of Russians that absolutely do not agree with what the Russian leadership is doing, but have no choice in the matter.

Speaking as a Canadian, there was a time when we were similarly fighting an adversary and chose to indiscriminately treat all people from that nation as enemies. The result was the internment of Japanese Canadians, one of the most shameful periods in our nation's history.

I cannot help but be very concerned that we're heading down a very familiar and dangerous path, here...
About clocks:

I hate to have to change the time of the oven twice a year. It annoys me :P

I have a nice, cheap, small alarm clock by my bed which gets the current time over air (some sort of radio signal, probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock ) => works great, in the past it maybe needed up to 30 minutes or so to do an initial update of its time after a change of batteries, but then it always worked perfectly.

Why aren't more appliances using that? Shouldn't even an oven, maybe having a small antenna embedded in its front, be able to get that signal?
My masters thesis [1] was about ways browsers can help protect users from risks involving deception. We concluded that we can't stop attackers from imitating or manipulating UI/UX elements, but we can be clever about how we protect users by being more attentive to their interactions and more focused on subtle cues, rather than codified, absolute allow/block lists.

We discussed about how most browser warnings currently fill the page below the line of death in a way that is easy for phishing sites to impersonate. The user can click "Back to Safety" only to be taken to the real phishing page.

One of the experiments we conducted was presenting browser warnings above the line of death by replacing security indicators with risk indicators, and even popping-out a warning explanation upon a risky interaction.

Overall, subjects reported that they felt safer when the browser alerted them to abnormalities, rather than simply showing them when they were "secure" or having the browser making absolute trust decisions for them by blocking access to a page with a big warning.

The UHK is what's termed a "65%" keyboard. A "tenkeyless" keyboard has physical function keys and the arrow key + cursor control cluster; the UHK does not have these things.
I agree about it being unprofessional. But does "virtue signalling" now mean simply any form of protest?

Were the Canadian truckers protesting in Ottawa virtue signalling? Are people posting "Let's Go Brandon" online also virtue signalling? If not, what's the difference between their form of protest and this Terraform stunt?
For me personally, absolutely.

I loathe subscriptions. It is the mental overhead. Since the shift to subscriptions, my personal spending on software is down something like 80% from what it was ca. 2015.

Replacements mainly have been open source software or things I've written.

> Yes, you should look out for yourself first, but that doesn't require taking an adversarial stance to management.

I don't think the OP ever suggested this? Unless I'm missing something, here was the original comment:

> Unless you own the company, it’s not your business. Act accordingly.

"Act accordingly" does not mean "don't ever put any effort in". My interpretation was more along the lines of, "Don't stress yourself out over someone else's company", which is great general advice.
This is a big reason why I invented my own 3D printable key switches and keyboards that use magnets instead of springs! Check it out: https://github.com/riskable/void_switch

In space, a spring could fly off who-knows-where and you can't change how strong it is--you need to use a different spring if you want that! With magnets, you can change how strongly they pull apart just by changing how far apart the magnets are at rest (aka "the void").

It's best not to rely on injection-moulded parts in space because it would be cost prohibitive to keep all those moulds on-hand on every ship/station. This is why 3D printable switches are ideal for use in space. 3D printers work great in zero G!

Then there's the fact that traditional switches don't really last very long... Their mechanical contact plates wear out and can even create small sparks which is a major problem in space! With magnets and hall effect sensors the entire keyboard can be contactless and basically air, water, and dust tight. The keyboard I'm typing on right now has all these features and more and the entire top plate can be taken off (e.g. for cleaning or using different switches/layouts):

https://gfycat.com/costlyglaringhyracotherium

My contactless 3D printable Void Switches should last basically forever because rare earth magnets only lose 5% of their magnetism over the course of 100 years and if any switch wears out or gets damaged it's only a $0.01 3D print away to make a new one (you can re-use the $0.01/each magnets from the old switch).

They showed that no "real algebra"-valued Hilbert space works.

That is literally not true. The abstract clearly states that they only compare Real and Complex-valued Hilbert Spaces; they say nothing about general R-algebras. And of course they couldn’t prove what you claim because C itself is an R-algebra!

I’m not claiming that they’re cheating or that what they did is trivial, just that

1) I don’t think they’ve answered the very broad question “Does quantum mechanics need imaginary numbers?” because as stated it’s sort of ill-posed and unfalsifiable. What they have answered is “Can this Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics with Postulates 1-4 work with real coefficients?” and the answer is no. The article itself points out non-Hilbert formulations that do in fact avoid complex numbers. Maybe this narrow question is interesting to physicists, I don’t know!

2) I don’t personally think it’s an interesting question, because I don’t think complex numbers are anywhere near the top of the list of unintuitive abstractions needed for modern physics or mathematics. Square root of -1 is a lot easier to swallow than even Cauchy Sequences or Dedekind cuts, much less I dunno, topoi of presheaves on the category of commutative von Neumann algebras of bounded operators (I wish I were making that up: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.4898185).
Or it lowers price on the existing supply because wealthier buyers are going to the new supply now rather than bidding up the existing supply.

You don't have to capture the energy. Unless you believe bitcoin is the future of money, burning the gas to look at the pretty lights is just as productive.

Where we're disagreeing is that I think bitcoin mining is a waste of energy, even if the energy feeding into it is "free." It's not actually free, since there's a capital cost (and associated environmental impact) plus the negative market impact of artificially lowering the cost of oil. But even if the energy were completely free, it's just a more complicated way to waste this energy that would be wasted anyway. Bitcoin mining would also crowd out any economically productive use for this energy (should any be devised in the future).
That seems like a reasonable ruling.

For any product, if there is a substantive processing step done (other than basic packaging), I would consider the label to be accurate.

Additionally, mandatory COOL seems like a self-serving overreach by the cattle industry. By all means, include optional labeling specifying the country of origin, following whatever (non-fraudulent) criteria you want, and that label can be protected all you want, but don't make it mandatory.

Shades of the equally ridiculous mandatory GMO labeling that thankfully got nixed.
Sure, some of that is real. It's when people get into "oxygen-infused copper CAT-6 wiring to reduce the harshness of violin attacks" that engineering types start saying, ok, wait a minute now...

Kind of a related question, but my current jobs requires that VPN is always even though we work in a zero trust environment (ie we are not accessing some company intranet that requires a VPN). Is there any point to this? Maybe it makes sense on a public network but if I'm at home it seems like needless hit to internet speed.
I experimented with the Dvorak layout for a year or so. It felt much more natural, like I'd been doing typing wrong my entire life.

The problem was this-- it made it difficult to use a normal keyboard layout. Such that anytime I had to use a colleagues computer for a moment, I was muddled. I couldn't keep two layouts in my head at the same time and switch between them easily.
Failing that they can always try Stack Overflow
Client Isolation (sometimes AP Isolation for some reason) is a technique found in most network equipment, access points and home routers dealing with wi-fi. When used, clients won't be allowed to communicate, they'll be invisible to anyone but the AP, or router, they are connected to.

But being connected to a wi-fi network isn't a requirement to sniff wireless traffic. It's possible to also monitor traffic, and AFAIK an APs internal ACL won't matter much in that regard.
My standard line on this is that Google today is not as good as Google of (at this point more than) 10 years ago, but it is still the best available option today because nothing is as good as or better than Google of (at this point more than) 10 years ago.

That said there have been a stack of new search engine posts on HN in the last few months and I may have to update my priors once I’ve had a chance to actually investigate the new options.

EDIT: Maybe I should note that I’ve also been relying a lot more on Reddit too in the past year since Apollo has a decent search interface for Reddit and I’ve gotten used to processing new subs quickly and getting information out of them. If nothing else I usually at least have a stack of new terminology to feed my search queries elsewhere.
No, they don't have info about me, at least that part. That's the point.

I don't need to switch between accounts, but screens, my client work is on a separate laptop.

Try navigating even hundreds of objects on a mobile device, it's not practical. Most of the stuff is not needed there either, for example (at random) I never use stack-exchange from a mobile device.

I enjoy Dave Winer's outlining tools. I'm not fond of the often-used Twitter authentication (just personal preference; no technical reason), but the overall concept and work flow of the tools themselves is really nice.
I've had a number of, perhaps inappropriate, typos in work messages thanks to the letters directly to the left or right.

I'd never thought of optimizing a layout so that typos are obvious nonsense. At the same time, I think I'd find a way regardless.

Some real examples include:

"Any update on your free/busty time?" instead of busy.

"It is just milf kitty indigestion" instead of mild.

You just have to hope your client or coworker makes typos too, and finds amusement in it.
People tell outrageous lies on Facebook all the time and they seem to work.

>I like the idea of a nicely built ultra book with an eGPU. But I'd imagine the performance would be lost compared to PCIe, not to mention unpredictable support.

I'm using a Framework Laptop now, which apparently supports eGPU. Although, the video I saw was from someone doing it on Windows.

I might give it a try maybe next year to play with one in Linux. But yes, I expect it to be under-performant against a PCIe
> But this doesn't scale because the demand is not spread out during the day -- absent carpooling, you still need one car per person twice a day, meaning the supposed savings don't exist.

Very rare for my neighbour to be using her car at the same time I use my car. Not every car driver commutes 5 days a week 9-5.

I work from home, have done for years, my neighbour is retired.

I guarantee in my village there will be at least 10 unused cars at any point during the year, probably nearer 50. There certainly aren't that many empty houses
Personally I am very exited about it but we lack data that does allow us to do proper TCO comparison of ICE vs EV on the heavy duty side. Also how does V2G economics actually work if you are trying to optimize for the lowest charging rate (usually during night to avoid peak)? If you are in V2G mode after 6 pm i assume you would need to start charging at night during cheapest rates and assure that the bus is charged by 5 am. Wouldn't this require 1 to 1 charger to bus ratio as you might not have enough time to swap? Wouldn't then infrastructure costs(chargers that are build and concrete around it) skyrocket?
Russian or not, anyone still using that package is insane.
> The term Cistercian derives from Cistercium,[2] the Latin name for the locale of Cîteaux, near Dijon in eastern France.

How do you feel about the ethical aspect? Now the home is not useful, except as an investment to you, but if you sold it there’s lots of ways you could make money instead (and in ways that provide value to others!). And the place would be someone’s home. Seems weird to let it be stay empty like that.

> Unique identification of the user

"The account logged in right now"

> Unique identification of the contract

"The only contract I have with you"

> The desired end date of the contract

"Next possible date"

Note that specifications like that already have to be accepted when canceling via email or letter since forever. Requiring anything substantially harder than that won't qualify. In particular, customers can't be required to go through a maze to hunt for some arcane contract number that is not typically used in communication with them.
>Do not use anything on public WiFi unless the security patches are current.

That's good advice for going online in general but nothing about public wifi makes this particularly more dangerous.

>Android [can] have better defenses than a Windows laptop:

>- Android has MAC randomization.

Windows has that too [1]

>- The Bromite fork of Chrome has DNS-over-HTTPS options in settings (I think Chrome requires a command line option to configure DoH, but I don't use Chrome so I'm not sure). ISPs hate DoH. Be aware that non-browser apps will use regular DNS. Some public WiFi blocks DoH (I'm configured for OpenDNS), so be ready to fall back to another browser using regular DNS.

You are conflating Chromium and Chrome but all Chromium based browser have this under security settings [2]

>- Bromite has an option to always check for https - enable it.

Again this is all Chromium browsers under security settings [2]

>- Tor Browser is a bit easier to get on Android.

Huh? [3]

>- SMTP has an opportunistic TLS exchange that can be thwarted, so I wouldn't use it.

You aren't using SMTP directly from a consumer ISP connection anyways. If the ISP doesn't drop the traffic, the server you are connecting to will probably reject the message as spam.

>- For me, I would wipe the stock OS off the device and run Lineage de-Googled.

Sure that's great if you are privacy conscious but has no bearing on whether public wifi is safe. If anything, one could argue you are slightly less safe since Google tends to be very aggressive about signing and certificate pinning so you could be more more likely to notice if someone is doing an MITM.
