Eero isn't the best I've ever had, but I partly work on enterprise wi-fi for a living, so I'm biased. I think wi-fi is about on par with the Amplifi HD (maybe a little better).

To jump off your point, if people want zero hassles and zero insight into traffic, an Eero Secure subscription is worthwhile, otherwise you're better served by using NextDNS.io or something reputable.

NextDNS is dirt cheap, and if set up right, provides you with per-device traffic logs.
This is a plainly weird position to take.

I don't know how you imagine this working, but you should read about the Dignitas operation and the legal and policing framework in which it exists.
When I worked as a sysadmin at Warner Bros back around 2001 our corporate mail was name@warnerbros.com which went to an AOL inbox (they made everyone eat the AOL dogfood). We realised that we owned a ton of domains including wb.com that didn't use email, so we set up some MX records and pointed them at a Solaris box running qmail and had our own wb.com addresses. I think I checked my official account maybe a handful of times the entire time I worked there.
"The scene would be recognizable to any Parisian: a cafe table, laid with drinks and newspaper."

I am not exactly a Parisian but I am French and used to café / terrasse etc.. But I really not see that until i read the description.
I have never heard of that being a common sentiment, or actually any Swede thinking that. Swedes have never assumed America will deploy troops.
I just needed to login to Polish Gov site to do my taxes, and the app do just that. The gov site showed QR Code that I've scanned with an app. That was password protected and it automatically let me in. Imagine all apps work like this. You login to app and scan the code. But password managers works with stuff that's already there (passwords).
try to hit the site I tried many DDoS attacks against it
Yes, it sounds funny when written out but the character in Catch 22 is providing some useful utility in having those fields ready to grow if needed.

Geopolitics can change quickly, the world's two largest wheat producers could go to war with each other. Starvation is bad, and unused fields may be a small price to pay to subvert it.
> The US needs to push Ukraine to agree to neutrality.

Why would the US willfully feed countries to Russia?

Ukraine is being attacked exactly because it's not allied with major powers.

> Zelenskyy already said he was told in private Ukraine wouldn't be admitted to NATO anyway, making this entire war senseless.

You're living in a parallel reality. Ukraine is fighting for its right to exist. The war is senseless, but that's something you need to tell Putin.
> (Imagine the impact that would have had on spam and unsolicited commercial E-mail.)

Simple: The spammers would have bought contracts to send spam at a flat rate and spam blocking technology would have gotten people kicked from the service. Only the absolutely poorest scammers would have been blocked, so the service would attempt to stop the 419 scammers actually from Nigeria, whereas the penis pill peddlers would have had a clear line to everyone.
I would engage with this with a lot of caution.

There is a class of psychoactive compounds (psilocybin is one of them) which, from what we can currently tell, increase neuroplasticity in the brain at least to a degree.

This has not just been studied with depression and so on, but with a wide range of phenomena where we've known that relative rigidity (compared to our childhood) of our brain stood in the way of one thing or another. One example that always comes to mind is this study on learning perfect pitch (something that is widely considered to be picked up in early childhood for one reason or another, and if you didn't get it, you're out of luck): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3848041/

The problem with neuroplasticity is that it doesn't just open up your brain to be reprogrammed in positive ways. This is why self-treatment with magic mushrooms and so on can actually be a damaging effort and you should instead try to find a psychotherapist who either specializes in this sort of treatment (if you can find one) or at least one who is willing to assist you along the way.

If you know people who do drugs recreationally you probably know at least one story of someone who took some drug and induced some kind of psychosis with lasting aftereffects, and those kinds of events are probably related to this.
The Swedish island Gotland is of central strategic importance in the baltic sea, so in case of a conflict either NATO or Russia would seize control of the island with or without Sweden’s consent.

Not to mention to secure against a Russian invasion of the mainland, of course…
If we do not have enough deterrence to maintain territorial integrity (as of now) against Russian military aggression (by virtue of the cost model being broken), then what is going to deter Russia from dragging us into a localized conflict tomorrow if we announce we are joining NATO day-after-tomorrow?

I mean, something has to guarantee that we have no conflicts between now and being an actual member AFAICT. There's talk of "safety guarantees IF we start membership procession" or something, but then there's still a gap where we need to guarantee territorial integrity / "no conflict".

The point being, if we can deter them from attacking us between now and being a member (when attacking us would have higher ROI for Russia, stopping our NATO track) ... we have the deterrence to stop them from attacking us without NATO membership too (since it would be costlier for them in that case relatively speaking, the ROI would be lower).
I mean, why does the central bank have an official 2% inflation target? They should have an official 0% inflation target - stable prices, not 2% increasing prices. Increasing is not stable!

And people always want more - that's the nature of humanity and why we live in skyscrapers instead of caves. You don't need a society-wide psychological experiment of currency-devaluation to encourage people to spend and invest money.

Both. In middle school I was ostracized as the weird kid that "doesn't even have a TV." No one wanted to come over to my house.

It mostly went away in high school, but middle school was terrible.
This is fascinating! How do you decide what note in a particular key/harmony to voice lead with (e.g. 3rds/7ths)?
The difference is that airplane software standards are by far the most rigorous in the world and so rigorous that most software developers are shocked at the level of rigor employed where as driverless cars have exactly zero software standards with respect to their safety or fitness for purpose. Comparing the processes in play is a outrageously fundamental category error; the systems have standards that are like 6 orders of magnitude apart.

As a example, just look at the 737 MAX, a airplane viewed as a literal deathtrap and a complete indictment of airplane software development, which had 2 crashes in 400,000 flights. At a average flight distance of ~500 miles, the 737 MAX, a airplane literally multiple orders of magnitude worse than any other and a complete failure of the approval process, only resulted in 1 fatality per 100 million person-miles. That is safer than the driving average of 1.1 fatalities per 100 million person-miles. What is viewed as by far the most atrocious outcome in the airplane sector, a system literally hundreds or thousands of times more dangerous than the average, is above average in the car sector; that is how far the gap is.

And this is ignoring driverless car software which is being developed to even lower standards than regular car software and which has no actual independent quality requirements. In contrast, far more lives are at risk with respect to driverless cars, so they should be developed to standards probably around 1000x better than airplane software which puts them around 0.0001% of the way there to a acceptable level of quality even if the software was already as reliable as regular car software.
Piggybacking to plug notjustbikes on youtube who does a nice job of outlining why the US's obsession with cars and single-family-zoned housing areas has dug us into the value system you're describing. That is not to say that working to fix these vast infrastructure problems is a simple or remotely carbon neutral feat (Amsterdam has taken 50 years to get there). We got here because of choices about how transportation/freedom in the US should look (many lobbied by the car industry). I'm not saying cars shouldn't exist. I don't think that's realistic with an area as vast as the US. But places like Amsterdam and Tokyo can clue us in that it doesn't need to be like this in reasonably dense areas.

What if we could eliminate the need for cars in many areas by creating infrastructure that's vastly more efficient, cheaper, safer, and healthier to use? We already have a lot of this technology (bikes/trains/buses/trams + relevant infrastructure). Building this would be expensive and create a lot of pollution. Does that mean we shouldn't try?
From the petition:

AI-powered bots shut down legitimate seller accounts seemingly at random, while Etsy looks the other way on resellers who undercut authentic makers by peddling sweatshop-produced junk in clear violation of the spirit of the Etsy community.

AI lockouts are a huge problem on Amazon, too, not to mention many of the sites and services used by HNers. I've said it before and I will say it again:

How many more pleas like this will we see on HN? Or, hear from friends, colleagues, and relatives who have been locked out or denied access to an important service, either through no fault of their own or by an innocent action?

No warning.

No explanation other than "suspicious activity" or "violation of [vaguely worded] policy."

No human to call who can help troubleshoot, other than a tech-savvy friend or relative.

No recourse.

There needs to be a technology bill of rights, not just for people dealing with Google, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook, but also the myriad other technology operators which can disrupt our lives in an instant with some poorly programmed process or unanticipated edge case.
This is just insane.

The image to the prompt "A dog looking curiously in the mirror, in digital style" shows a cat looking into a mirror and seeing a dog as itself! Although very creative and "objectively funny" (may cat is like a dog!!!), I think the AI understood "A dog looking curiously (is) in the mirror".

These poems are absolutely hilarious also, it's photo-realistic, but the messages make no sense, though the fonts look so perfect! That's where you know it's clearly AI generated ^^ For now.... Sometime soon it looks like realistic pictures of protests are going to be so easy to generate with arbitrary text
FYI, this account has many pro-Russian posts in its history, including denial of recent massacres in Bucha.
Yep, and 100% of their focus is the average consumer.

Eg. they are not going to add SNMP, no matter how many times you ask.

This isn't a slam about CEO Nick and co., it's just not their market focus.
> The lie is that Ukraine wasn't even considered for NATO membership and would be ineligible due to lack of territorial integrity ( Donbas and Crimea). NATO and Ukraine didn't claim Russia was bluffing, Ukraine refused to surrender their autonomy by promising they'll never join NATO.

Isn't it a bit contradictory? If Ukraine can't join NATO, then promising it won't is irrelevant. Rather, it was their stated goal to somehow resolve the territorial intergrity question and then join NATO. So ineligibility was just a problem to resolve, not an insurmountable obstacle. And of course increasing military cooperation can be done without joining.

I agree that "calling bluff" is not the best word. Rather, it was politically infeasible for both Ukraine (runs counter to their stated goals) and the West (looks too similar to what Chamberlain did) to enter into an agreement with Russia. So it didn't happen.

> And of course, the real lie is that Russia was going to war no matter what. Leaked conversations of Kadyrov show that Russia was prepared to go in since last year, and the negotiations asking for impossible things was just a distraction. Like the Austrians did with Serbia in WWI.

Even if the leaks are true, how does it prove that the invasion was inevitable? Yes, Russia was preparing for war to make the threat credible and this preparation included making detailed plans. Doesn't mean that Putin couldn't scrap those plans.

> Please go whatabout something else, people are literally getting slaughtered over the delusions of an ageing autocrat who has lost touch with reality.

Your comment was better without this addition.
> Yes but you asked me when was the time when NATO trained on the border with Russia

No, I asked, and I will quote directly, “When was this time that Russia wasn't a threat and Ukraine was having trainings with NATO?”

That was the claim: that NATO conducted multiple trainings with Ukraine when Russia was not a threat, and that this was the casus belli for Russian aggression. Leaving aside that this would not be legitimate casus belli in any case, it is simply factually false: all the NATO trainings occurred during the war, after Russian aggression against Ukraine began. There cannot retroactively justify the aggression.

Spheres of influence are a geopolitical reality despite any disbelief people might entertain.
Me too! I thought it was a late April Fool's joke.
Also, now seems like a good time to join because Russia's army is tied up and partially depleted.
Depends what you want to do. If you're happy for changes to dribble in over time then size your puppetmaster pool to how many hosts you want to be able to run puppet simultaneously and stagger client execution to avoid a stampeding herd. Accept that sometimes there will be individual failures due to load and clients will just have to wait till the next time.

Alternatively, in real life, many teams have Change Management to consider and Maintenance windows. If there's a need to update thousands of systems on a saturday morning then expect teams to start puppet runs manually. You'd better have a seriously big pool of puppetmasters ready and waiting to manage the load, and don't forget Puppet DB, that has to be scaled up too to avoid lock ups. Even then, if teams start too many puppet runs at once, you'll get flattened.

We ended up scrapping all the puppetmasters in individual DCs and consolidating them in an AWS EC2 Autoscaling group. The number of puppetmasters started at 70 and just went up. That came with problems of its own. e.g. ensuring that all puppetmasters share the same copy of role versions at the same time. Being able to spin up new puppetmasters fast enough to meet spikes in demand. Various other corner case tuning issues.

It's taken a dedicated team years to get to grips with puppet, tame it and master it. Very glad I'm not involved in that any more.
I'm baffled as to why anyone would listen to the shit coming out of Nigel Farage's mouth, let alone quote them as some sort of authority on anything. The man is an empty populist and doesn't deserve any attention.

It's only through luck and concessions that Sweden maintained their "neutrality" in WWII. Everyone had their eyes on a prize somewhere else. Had things gone differently between Germany and the Soviet Union, Sweden may have found itself divided up by both.

Switzerland also made concessions to stay out of the war. Germany wanted to invade, but the risk/reward wasn't worth it at that stage of the war.

Spain was in a civil war and I wouldn't call their post war situation a "success."

Ireland, I guess you could say, faired okay after the war, but during the war, their ships were attacked by both sides and often received no response to distress signals.
But then you could run some open source server that does it, just not typically from your home. It’s the home part that won’t work, just as most people don’t serve their web apps from home. And non tech people can still outsource and move between competing providers rather than have an oligopoly of social media companies.

Sadly publishing goes towards the lowest friction service. Was websites, then blogs, now Twitter. The backgrounds and themes weren’t as important as simple content. I’m not sure home hosting has any chance to beat that trend.
Qualifying additional component suppliers is not quite the same thing as abandoning components made by companies like Sony and Samsung and pivoting to China.

>The Nikkei Asian Review says Apple is "aggressively testing" screens made by the Chinese company, as it considers taking on BOE as an OLED supplier to cut costs and reduce its reliance on Samsung, which is believed to be Apple's primary supplier of OLED displays.

Apple is seeking to diversify its supply chain as much as possible. The company often tries to secure at least two suppliers for any given component in order to reduce its supply chain risk and improve its bargaining position.

https://www.macrumors.com/2019/08/21/apple-aggressively-test...

That Chinese company, BOE, didn't manage to pass the necessary QC testing until late last year.

If I were to send the police a 30-second film showing someone overtaking me illegally, it's near certain that nothing would happen. Unless someone were harmed.

If, however, I were to send the certification authority a film of a driverless car doing the same, my guess is that the vendor would be required to investigate and solve that, even if the film were just a single incident and noone harmed. I base that guess on the authority's past behaviour.

Speaking as someone who's often in harm's way, I find the possibility of getting rid of conscious rule violations very attractive, even if that doesn't affect the number or effect of software bugs at all.
The core problem with carbon offsetting is that it allows the rich elites to continue polluting the environment (because in their mind, they paid for it) while the poor have to take the brunt of the load instead. The richest 10% of the world account for half the CO² emissions [1], a figure that will only grow larger.

What the world needs are clear and hard bans: no more import of meat from Brazil until the country provably prevents further razing of the Amazonas rain forest, a hard cap on flights per person and year to two or four (with reasonable allowance for people in multi-national relationships, expats and the likes), a ban on twenty different brands of yogurt (or any other product class) in stores, and most importantly a hard cap on vehicle size and gas consumption: no fat SUV/truck until you prove to the government you have a reasonable need for such a vehicle. Everyone else gets a standard electric vehicle that serves their needs (i.e. singles and no-child households get either a single 2-seater standard car or two Smart-sized cars, and families get a 3+number_of_children sized car).

Yes, part of this sounds like "omg communism!!!" but the sooner people realize that the status quo is not sustainable and never has been, the better.

The most secure way to do this would be to run Qubes OS [1] and use a qube dedicated solely to your software development. You can do your random web browsing and other risky Internet based things (such as email) in other qubes (not your dev qube). IMPO, isolation is really the best defense we have against modern attacks (supply chain, water hole attacks, whale phishing, etc.)

Hope this helps.

Extensive Pile of Noodles Produces an Emotional Reaction
As I've said to several other posters, I reckon it's a font substitution problem - some fonts display much better than others in certain environments.

BTW, an interesting observation, when I first posted the comment it was up-voted, it's now been down-voted to just below where it started. I think this proves the point that not everyone is viewing that page with equal ease.
Although it tends towards Deep Learning as opposed to AI, I highly recommend Bishop's Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning. It not only provides a solid Bayesian perspective, but also comments on the subtleties of applying theory. For the latter, its discussion of overparameterization in (I think?) the first chapter comes to mind.

Yeah I get where you are coming from. That does not change the fact that these products require massive effort to develop. In the case of PSIO(product with the serial encoded firmware) it was started by a high schooler + firmware developer from Belarus in 2012(original concept in 2010) and took years before the product was finally in a state to ship. From what I gather, their custom menu + firmware system is ~50k of C code/MIPS assembly made from scratch.

I watched as this high schooler got harassed for years as people did not believe such a product was even possible. After he released it, everyone forgot about all the harassment that this product was vaporware and impossible to develop and now he continued to get hounded for bug fixes to fix timing issues with specific games(he is emulating the complete CD drive and many games expected exact timings to overcome specific undocumented bugs in the system).

Now you have to throw in the threat of clones. To this day he is continuing to fully support the product despite some clones appearing in the wild. A competing product has recently appeared that takes a simpler approach to emulating the CD drive and likely has not had as extensive of a QA process. It remains a question whether this other approach is better compared to PSIO(new product only supports 3 motherboard versions out of dozens + you lose the CD drive altogether) but because the price is cheaper a large chunk of the community does not care and have moved on. The remaining community are now bashing the PSIO team for temporary slowing down development to rewrite the firmware to stop the latest round of cloners.

You can look at it as theft, but others would see it as preserving and promoting software development on a ~28 year old console. This team also gone into excruciating detail to document the system to help enable new software to be developed.

Just from the outside looking in, I don't know if it is worth the effort to spend years making something like this only to be harassed nonstop for years, getting your IP stolen by the Chinese and in end still be making a product that is a grey market item. I suspect that down the road we will have nothing but low quality Chinese made junk on the market if anything at all.
Real Floppy Disk Drive for the Mister FPGA – Current Progress
I've been writing effects in ChucK for several years but have found it difficult to deploy to various platforms of interest.

Is it possible to build an effect written in Glicol into an iOS app or effect (AudioUnit v3? haven't been keeping up)? LV2 plugin to run on MOD devices guitar pedals? VCVRack, which has its own plugin interface? onto a Rasp Pi Zero?
What kind of items?
