Probably not in the general population, I would guess from my friends and family. Or they just don't care, also possible. ^^

Even those that used to tape over webcams (some started doing so after the Snowden revelations in '13) gave up on that during the pandemic, due to video call after video call and "webcam taping fatigue". Webcam shutters in non-business laptops would be great. :D

Audio is another beast and way harder to solve, as there is no tape or (cheap) shutter that can really block a microphone, and physical disconnects are probably not a feature in most customers eyes, as they have no optical feedback, like webcam shutters. So they could, to most people, maybe only be a source of "why does my audio not work - ah, the stupid button" frustration. :/
It's hardly "unworkable". There are already systems in place for verifying your own wallets; you just need to sign a message using your key to verify that the wallet is actually yours.

So far I haven't seen any proposed rules about what you can do with the crypto once it's in your wallet, so all this means is that you need to withdraw to your own wallet first before sending the funds anywhere you want.
The longest Atlassian outage so far…
The fact that hard falling on hard concrete is a hard fact of skateboarding delineates a unique aesthetic space.

Also skateboarding is less coupled to wealth than analogs like snowboarding and surfing…and carryovers like G&S are where tameness tends to appear.

That’s what makes it interesting to me.
How about compatibility with VS code extensions?
Well, I often have a "real" camera on my person, because I like cameras. It definitely gets me better results than when I use my phone camera. That's just my taste. I'm certainly not saying your average joe would be best-served by going out and buying a GFX-100S.

I'm not sure what YouTuber you're referring to, but most popular photography YouTubers mostly use real cameras still. Occasionally they'll do a gimmick video where they use a phone, but it's the exception, not the rule.
In my opinion:

You either believe that non-fungible metadata pointing to a fungible destination that currently represents a five year old kid's drawing of a farting dinosaur is worth $100k USD or it is worth nothing.

There is a huge divide with some clearly seeing something splendid with the ability to generate massive wealth and liberate the masses from economic governmental control, while others clearly see something more like a pump and dump scam.
I always use the key mute button on the Thinkpad, but anyway it can be muted in the system menu easily (at least in XFCE).

(In fact, I just checked in Gnome, the menu does not expose microphone volume, it's only available from the settings window.)

Photography didn't make the Mona Lisa worthless.
Exactly. Sanctions against Cuba, Iran and NK have achieved very little. They might even be helping keep the status quo in those countries.
You joke but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a headline like your example at some point. I’ve seen similar clickbait, albeit for lower stakes.
Electronics become unusuable quickly, though. We can find stone tablets and clay pottery, but 10k years from now will they be able to find hard drives and extract useful data? Seems like it can easily go in the opposite direction

I am generally against new government regulations, but I would most likely support a law that requires all microphone and camera elements have an LED hard-wired into the power wire/trace. If the sensor is powered, the user should be able to tell.
> Every year we priced out what a cost to EC2 would cost us, and every year it was about 3x the cost of running our own

> we tied Hetzner servers into our private cloud layer, and migrated containers and shut down servers as it fit

Building your own services on top of AWS is always going to come out more expensive. EC2 + EBS volumes alone are going to be more expensive than going with hetzner (particularly if you're not looking at reserved instances, and not utilising spot for burst). You mentioned that you are building your own private cloud layer and migrated containers; the cost of building that out in the first place is likely enormous compared to building and running on top of fargate.
At the moment that is still legal. The German government may decide to change that in the future.
You care that they not be allowed to do that anymore and that the utmost level of enforcement and surveying be put in place at all cost to stop them?

I think that's the part you need to expand on, because even if I knew 10 people who crossed the border for that stuff, I wouldn't really care that much.

So what makes you care so much, are there visible, arguably tractable second order effects resulting from this that I wouldn't be able to deny if I lived in Texas? And they're so bad to the Texan state that I'd too want this surveyed and enforced at all cost?
Yup. I've had this discussion repeatedly with the developers of SCOP and the folks who run CASP and they simply will not budge.

That is still a big deal. See also the Toyota accelerator issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%932011_Toyota_vehic...
Well now. We can have a heat pump with a COP of 3.5 or so. Let's say we put in 1kW of electricity, and take out 3.5kW of heat energy. Now let's take 2.5kW of that heat energy, push it through this gadget at 40% efficiency to get 1kW electricity out. Push that back into the heat pump and, violà, 1kW of free heat left over!

What am I missing?
There was a battery used for peak acceleration power. 8KW is enough to cruise at highway speeds if you have an aerodynamic enough body.

Everything above absolute zero emits infrared photons, as something gets hotter it will also start to emit in the visible range because some of the photons are more energetic resulting in a shorter wavelength. That's why you see the progression from barely visible red to red to orange, yellow and eventually white when you make something hot enough. But it will always continue to output photons at lower energy levels as well, though not in equal proportion (and that's why a hot object is white and not blue, and why a hot gas flame can be blue).
Not only does it have 1 trillion elements, you also have to invert it!
No sources, but there were comments here on HN in the past year which pointed out non industrial grade (for the lack of a better word) computers on board a Tesla.

My opinion is that with mechanical components it is easier to make a distinction in quality. With computers, we tend to stick to GHz or how many nanometers some tinfoil is.
amusingly, I work for a pharma and they don't even return our calls. I wonder how seriously they take this business, because if I was selling a product based on this, pharma would be my first customer.

Surface area is relevant for solar because the sun is so far away. A local heat source allows you to surround it with 3D shapes not just a flat plain.

As to temperature this thing is for very high temperatures: can generate electricity from a heat source of between 1,900 to 2,400 degrees Celsius. At 40% efficient you need a wide temperature difference which would suggest a high energy density.
I don't see how it is cheap. Standard may be cheap but then you are missing a lot of features that are announced on the product pages with a small footnote saying "only in premium".
Correct. And this is good. It's what makes Haskell so powerful. You can look at a type and immediately know a huge number of rules its implementation must follow. And even better, the type is machine checked. So unlike prose documentation, it can never lie to you.

What about this part?

"the car was stuck going 83 mph"

Seems pretty clear to me.
> Most of them said they won’t leave the Atlassian stack, as long as they don’t lose data. This is because moving is complex and they don’t see a move would mitigate a risk of a cloud provider going down. However, all customers said they will invest in having a backup plan in case a SaaS they rely on goes down.

The real key lesson here. Your business is important to you. Not so much to the service provider.
There are a multitude of such YouTube videos on Linux support for anything you can think of, as well as innumerable support vectors like forums, discord channels, irc, and so forth.

Overload with all the available distributions and desktop options and communities is a difficult hurdle, but really, it's just a matter of time availability for most people. It's going to be disruptive to switch your OS regardless of the particular flavor. You'll need to carve out chunks of time to learn and adapt, or you'll need a sacrificial week when you're setting up and troubleshooting and watching YouTube help videos. Most people don't want yet another "project" in their lives.
A sad and somewhat mysterious day.

I wonder what the back-story is to this event?
If direct sales are banned, then Tesla would have to establish sales locations in Oklahoma to sell to Oklahomans. Those sales locations can be forced by Oklahoma law to provide service facilities in accord with some regulations.
> Isn't it self-hosted anonymous wallets?

Yes, and the proposed restrictions only apply to transactions which directly involve an exchange. You can still have an anonymous self-hosted wallet, you just can't withdraw to it directly; you have to move the funds to a verified wallet address first.
As per article, Breaks were working but accelerator was not, Why accelerator needs to be connected to main computer and could not be controlled independently without main computer? Access to accelerator/gas is as important in critical situation as the breaks.
There isn't a lot of practical evidence that the rhetoric of bitcoin's value proposition is actually manifest.
InCoder: A large language model for infilling and generating code
That’s what the article says.

“The heat engine is a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell, similar to a solar panel’s photovoltaic cells, that passively captures high-energy photons from a white-hot heat source and converts them into electricity.”

One detail is that objects radiate at all temperatures. The trick is to choose the temperature so that you get a lot of emission in the band that matches the best performance of the PV component.
It seems the brakes were fighting against the motor. Also, try turning at 83 MPH.
That gut-wrenching feeling.
>I believe that Bitcoin will have an important (and positive) future in our lives.

Can you elaborate how? From my point of view, the reason the general tech community despises crypto is precisely because of that; every now and then someone shows up saying that the tech is important and positive, yet none of them can come up with a single valid reason why.

For people who are outside of it, the answer to why this is the case is clear.
"Stuck [unable to go faster than] 83mph" is what they knew you would understand, right? (Sarcasm)

So I agree it is click bait, but it does still sound dangerous to be unable to signal or accelerate on the freeway.
Oh god, no. We moved from Project to Jira and life became immeasurably better!
> I need to send 1 [REDACTED UNIT OF CRYPTOCURRENCY] between North and South Korea

I find this fascinating. How can you send any crypto between one country and the other? In reality, everyone who is using crypto is doing the transaction in every country where a validator/node is running. There is no concept of "sending BTC between Mexico and the USA". There may be a concept of someone paying USD money to somebody else to write something in the blockchain (i.e. write a transaction that says to move some BTC from Wallet A to Wallet B).

Hetzner snapshots are fully independent disk images, nothing more, nothing less.
> Sigh, how do news sites get away with blatantly wrong titles?

I don't mean this snarkily:

Notice how your reaction was to complain about it, but (AFAIK) take no concrete action against the news site? I suspect most/all of the public did the same, and thus the new sites get away with it.
That is so obviously true that denying it is like denying evolution.

It's interesting to contrast this divorce story in The Atlantic with another: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/12/divorce-p...
The key is that they can look at the ledger, but not alter the ledger. But also privacy improvements to the bitcoin protocol, privacy focused transactions like coinjoins, and payments on the lightning network help hide that even more.
> What 'magic' is there in crypto.

Well, there's magical thinking, does that count? ;)

(Also, perhaps it's just me, but I really dislike the term 'crypto'. Cryptography is a genuinely valuable field. Maybe we can call them 'waste-backed internet tokens' or something. When they actually implement Moxie Marlinspike's suggestion[0] of using cryptography rather than distributed consensus as proof of validity, then maybe they can call themselves cryptocurrencies.)

[0] "We should accept the premise that people will not run their own servers by designing systems that can distribute trust without having to distribute infrastructure. This means architecture that anticipates and accepts the inevitable outcome of relatively centralized client/server relationships, but uses cryptography (rather than infrastructure) to distribute trust." (https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html)
2) Seems like a waste of bandwidth, did you consider the use case that turning off the video stream might be done to try to reduce bandwidth usage either due to cost of bandwidth or bandwidth being limited enough to break other simultaneous needs? And since 3) while creepy, is at least done on the client so does not seem to require the stream to always be sent to the other clients.
Indeed, and it is so hard to stomach.
Because HN readers skew more technologically literate, people here are on average (slightly) more capable of seeing though the techno-babble hype than on other social media sites. It's not that the financial status quo is held in high regard, rather that HN readers see crypto's empty promises to fix existing issues for what they are: bullshit designed to lure in ever more dumb money.
The camera and microphones are run through the T2 security chip. Also, there's a separate ambient light sensor.

>I still don't understand the strangehold JIRA has on some clients.

- Integrations with things like the source code repos, incident management systems, confluence or other wikis, Slack, etc. Moving away from Jira creates a bunch of dead links.

- Internal dependence on complex workflows and state transition rules that are implemented in Jira.

- Various very customized reports that leaders depend on to make decisions, despite the often dubious value and/or accuracy.
Imagine the database schema migrations...
They are more efficient because converting anything to heat is trivial. Heat is just losses basically. A process consisting of 100% losses is great for heat generation.

However, extracting exergy (electricity is pure exergy) from a flow of energy is the tricky part and will always be associated with efficiencies way below unity, based on fundamental principles.
Cheaper than whatever is the open-source alternative?
It’s actually pretty wild. Those onboard remain onboard for the flip.
After having been behind a Tesla emitting smoke on Sand Hill Road, I'm not keen to purchase one anytime soon.

When such an event happens, do you think Tesla replaces the battery pack with a fresh, less defective one? Somehow, I doubt it.

Stories about Tesla support don't inspire much confidence. Once they have your money, the goodwill and standing by their product is mysteriously absent.

With ICE cars being comparatively easy to fix, I'm content to stick with them until the e-kinks get worked out. It's still the early days (easy to forget when Teslas are so ubiquitous in the Bay Area).
I got an Alienware for that purpose when I was working in a mostly Mac shop a few years back.
We have an example right here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31015652 - the title implies but doesn't say, and the reality is that sanction busting was involved. Titles have become less than useless.
I don't think you could attribute Trello to Atlassian. Maybe all the junk they've added to it.

The other two I've honestly never heard of but that says nothing about them as products except they don't get talked about.

Funny edit, Atlassian actually made a plugin for Jira called greenhopper that was very much like trello. But they discontinued it only to realise a few years later that they liked trello and paid a massive amount of money for it. If that doesn't exemplify incompetence of a companies strategy / directorship, then I don't know what does.
The glass near the sink instead of in the dishwasher thing I kind of get - it's like going halfway to solving the problem. If you want to use a dish again, don't put it into the gray zone near the sink. Leave it on your desk or the kitchen table or whatever you were using it or might use it again. If you are done, wash it or put it in the dishwasher to be washed. Leaving dirty stuff near the sink is ambiguous - easy to get mixed in with the clean dishes while you are emptying dishwasher to put them away.

Mostly it reeks of asking the other partner to finish the job. I'd wager this guy didn't do the dishes more of than not either. A lot of men genuinely don't help out around the house and don't understand why it upsets their wife so much.

From a gender roles inversion perspective this would be like if your wife bagged up the trash from the bin and then just left it next to the bin instead of taking it out. So now you have a dirty bag of garbage on the floor until someone decides to take it out. Almost a worse situation than just leaving the bin full.

Regardless of whether an issue is petty or not, if a spouse indicates it bothers them for whatever reason, and the other spouse just basically ignores it, this is a recipe for disaster.
The worst part is that on iOS you can't just start and stop input stream separately from output, but you have to stop the entire audio session and restart it in output only category. You can configure the session to ignore all input channels, but that won't get rid of the mic indicator (or at least didn't back when the mic indicator was introduced in the first place).

Yes, I work on an app that keeps the mic running all the time because of the above, and because ASIO doesn't allow disabling input at all.
He didn't say it was sufficient; he said they could do it for a short while. I consider myself in the same situation: we depend on Jira, but for a week or so it's not a big deal to use a bunch of Post-It notes.
It's obvious that Zoom is listening, because if I try to speak when I'm muted, it tells me that I'm muted.
Its more like not registering the departures of family members from this mortal coil, and is a persistent (if relatively small scale) problem with Social Security payments in the States.

Which, one again, circles to the point that the money, time, and effort spent on fighting such low level individual fraud typically vastly out-spends the actual fraud they're trying to combat.
The Carnot efficiency of a heat engine favors large delta T! This is the theoretical limit of efficiency. For steam turbines this efficiency should be around 60-70%, theoretically.

While cool (1,900 to 2,400 degrees C cool) the Carnot effiencies should be closer to 86%.

The idea that heat engines get more efficient as you increase delta T has been around for a while. The problem is constructing a delta work extraction loop that doesn't have more losses as a result of the delta T increase, ie the practicalities of extracting work energy.

Warning: I am assuming they are working with an approximately room temperature cold side, as article doesn't say. The practicalities of allowing for the delta-t is usually where the efficiency losses are made.

Thank you! Very interesting design this.
Cars warranties are also aspirational/virtue signaling, to a point.

If the maintenance costs exceed the margins on the cars you lose money. Do that on too many product lines for too often and you’re looking at bankruptcy. But some makers clearly are more risk averse than others, so a 6 year warranty from maker X does not translate to a 7 year warranty from maker Y.
This is literally what Engineering is, designing the components to spec such that when they fail the failure mode is acceptable. This includes the computers.

That said, "throttle stuck at previous speed" is not a horrible failure mode, all things considered. If you were driving safely at a certain speed then you should have some time to react and pull the E-break (push the "Park" button on a Tesla). Slowly losing speed until stopping would be better, but there are much worse failure modes too, such as suddenly braking or accelerating.
Buying a business is not the same thing as building a business.
