> Honestly, the problem with that question is that it's asking about the wrong object.

If you want to rephrase the question so it is asking about the right object then be my guest - I see you added an answer too though.

I think we've just answered the question two different ways that ultimately boil down to the same thing. One event happened organically, the other was a deliberate action (with an intent, if you will) even if they both had a similar effect. In fact I suspect The Slap was bigger, but Ukraine wasn't pushed out of the headlines before, during or since the Oscars.
I am very much the same on that part, it's hard to do great work when you are emotionally all over the place.

got a modmic - popular mic - has a button on it to mute the mic- light turns red - pushed the button and went for a pee - came back to the meeting - left again to get a drink - came back - was asked to mute my mic - light was red - clicked hardware button - red light turned off - clicked again - right light turned on - mic was still active - no longer trust hardware buttons
Stuck at 83 until he used the brakes and steering to control the car? Doesn't sound very stuck. This is not a story.
Oh, nonsense. People buy Atlassisn because the licensing is cheap, not because it's particularly good at what it does or designed with any particular workflow in mind.
Never used it, but looks like Microsoft Project would fit that box.
The most unsurprising thing ever. Hardware switch would be the only way to be sure. (Apparently modern macbooks do hardware disable the mic and camera when the lid is shut)
Bad behaviour always needs a rethink. Change from bad to good behaviour is always painful and unwanted. By your logic no one should change their bad behaviour because they don’t want to change.

The id and the superego have to be in balance.
That's an interesting question! Disclaimer: In my current research, I'm focusing on steganography on ML-based lossless channels. Not an export on image-based steganography.

As far as I know, image based steganography usually uses random noise added to a cover image and a preshared key to decide which noise is actually encoded information. Since printers and scanners are a lossy channel, the noise will deteriorate. So I think this is a hard problem -- this might be possible with some kind of error correcting code as used in QR codes and alike (or maybe even use QR codes as the cover channel)
What data? The Apple ID itself?
I think the reply was plenty respectful, and the whining to the contrary is just a veiled attempt to derail the conversation.

The sad thing is that smart people are going to crypto because there is easy money to be made and not because they support decentralisation and fighting the government
The video itself is a super condensed version of his book primarily aimed at the Youtube audience demographic, the book it is based on probably goes much further into depth.
There are two major issues with Bitcoin for me.

First, crypto is always broken eventually. We have seen the deprecation of crypto algorithms time and again. Why should we assume Bitcoin is immune to this phenomenon? It's a high-value target and it could literally become valueless in an instant.

Second, the changing climate is one of the most pressing matters of our time. Bitcoin is absolutely not helping there.
The same protein can deform into multiple different 3D shapes, called conformations. Some proteins are rigid and exist almost exclusively in a single conformation. It is probably easier to determine the 3D structure of proteins with a single, dominant conformation. Other proteins don't have well defined conformations, and are more like a tangle of rope that can bend in many different ways
I'd be curious to see one such thread, but pretty sure you're just talking out your ass. My experience, and recent search, indicates these are usually about 80% positive, and most negative experiences stem from predictable abuse patterns. Of course there are dangers, risks, and bad experiences, but psychedelics might well be qualitatively better for depression than traditional pharmaceuticals.
So the only link with actual data and not clickbait youtube or anecdotes was the link with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities... and rather than look at that link they still just said it "felt bad". It's crime rate is no worse than a place like Arizona, where I live.

If you think about it critically, it's similar to the manufactured panic around bail reform in New York.

The data shows it is working, but the police / entrenched folks are putting a lot of propaganda / money into reversing it.

There are always going to be loud folks proclaiming the end of times, especially when things change. And especially when there's money involved (policing has boatloads of cash involved, they don't want to see things change).

I was homeschooled as a teenager due to health problems.

One thing that I saw drive a lot of unpleasantness amongst my non-homeschooled peers when I was a teenager was lack of sleep. Teenagers need sleep. If you need to go to school around 7:00, and you have after-school activities that go til 20:00 or later most days, as well as homework, you can’t possibly get enough sleep. The answer is always “just go to bed earlier” which most teens are notoriously bad at. I don’t think it’s necessarily gotten worse in recent years (I wasn’t really around to know), but if you want to make people less sad, it does help to stop torturing them.
Called it. :)

Doing the guidelines sentence exercise is sort of fun, in a nerd-snipey way, and is a way to understand a bit of how federal criminal law works for us non-lawyers.
I've been using various GNU/Linux distros and BSD flavors on my desktop for more than 20 years now, and I like it ("it" in my case being MATE) much better than either Windows or macOS.

But to be fair, some parts of what I like about it are due to the tiny share Linux/BSD has on the desktop. Malware, in particular, is a non-issue mainly because people writing malware don't bother targeting it. Also, the amount of techies/nerds among Linux desktop users is much higher (I assume, at least) than on Windows, so the current state with a variety of desktop environments and window managers is viable.

What impresses me, though, is how much smoother the experience has become since 2001. Hardware support was a real issue back then, but in the past 10 years, I had no issues getting my hardware to work. Installers have become easier to use (except OpenBSD's, but loyal OpenBSD users will argue that their installer was easy to use to begin with, and they've got a point there), update management on Free- and OpenBSD is a breeze these days, and the gaming situation is pretty good (as far as my preferences go, anyway).

I've never been one to try and proselytize and convert people to GNU/Linux, but it works very well for me, and I'm happy about that. Others are happy with Windows or macOS, and that is okay with me, too.

If you're resourced enough to have access, this is great advice. It's like doing regular maintenance: you might be able to do it yourself, but bringing in a professional is a good idea.
Teams is a real clustefuck, I do not believe it is a design decision but rather just poorly written code.

Would HN benefit from some kind of "self promotion" or "marketing" tag?
Sigh, how do news sites get away with blatantly wrong titles? The driver was obviously able to brake, so it wasn't stuck at 83 MPH - although the display is frozen and showing that speed.

Imagine if it's a headline like "Putin declares war over" and actually it's him saying something like "War will be over when Ukraine has a pro-Russian leadership".

He likely decided to give the speech in person so that he could spend time in North Korea and develop relationships with government officials for the purpose of future (illegal) business.
This is an interesting case but I wonder what the statistics are around this. Computers die just like cables snap. There will absolutely be unpreventable failures, but there really seems to be an interesting psychological component to the way we expect computers to work flawlessly where we are better at acknowledging the failures of mechanical components. Obviously the failure mode here was not ideal, so hopefully that can be improved.

If a throttle cable was jammed it would be the same outcome and at least for me, I can imagine it would make me feel less uneasy. Maybe it's the consistency of code that makes us expect that if one failure exists, more are likely?
I've heard this argument many times before, but is there research into this? I.e. where they would compare uptime of cloud vs. on-premises across a wide range of companies.
Concentrated energy is not a technical term. But high-temperature internal energy storage (aka heat storage) is terrible because of the losses.

For example, low temperature floor heating is very efficient.

You don’t want high temperature deltas because of the associated exergy losses.
Show HN: Dattorro reverb VST plugin written in Rust with egui and glicol_synth
Hi HN,

I find that many are interested in writing VST plugins but found C++ quite tricky to work with.

So I made this VST plugin to show how Rust can be used to write VST plugins.

I did it by combining egui-baseview-vst template[1] and glicol_synth audio lib[2].

Source code:

It kills me when government institutions get fined as a punishment. It's just the tax payers that are being punished.

We as a society need to do better to incentivize good behavior for those in trusted government positions, and hold the individuals responsible when they betray that trust.
It's BS. I changed my user agent to Chrome and it worked just fine.

> Statistically black people are more likely to commit crimes

Statistically black people are more likely to be arrested and convicted for crimes. So if you use an algorithm to determine who should be arrested and convicted, how long they should be sentenced, and likelihood of recidivism, and seed that algorithm with historical information about arrests and convictions tagged by race (even inadvertently through names or addresses), you end up permanently encoding untrue information like "black people are more likely to commit crimes."

an example from a particular class of crimes:

Just a tip, the throttling only applies to the comment thread, and I believe it is only a five-minute timeout.

You can always reply to a comment directly without waiting for the timeout, by clicking on the timestamp next to the username. That takes you to the individual comment page which will have a reply box.
Better communication than Atlassian apparently.
I generally hate my HP laptops' hardware, but this is one of the features that I really love and wish more computers had.

On the one I'm typing this on, the key actually sends a standard Media Mute signal, that can be used under Linux (complete with the LED coming on when it's muted). Ironically, this needs special drivers under Windows.
I feel you here, but I've been at multiple companies that used JIRA and never once had any of those requirements. I've also never seen it come up when deciding which ticketing system to use. Teams have always been free to move tickets at-will.
On my Thinkpad, this was still just interpreted as an OS-level keyboard shortcut, as far as I remember.

A solution that actually (logically if not physically) deactivates any built-in microphone would arguably be at least as important as a "webcam shield".

Apple does this for the built-in microphone for their newer laptops, but that benefit is immediately negated when e.g. connecting a USB webcam that also contains a microphone.
I'm struggling to figure out what this is. If you can capture heat from a "white hot" object, why is it not just a good solar cell? The sun is easily in this range.
Lenses aren’t that expensive, especially not prime lenses. You get a very decent Canon brand 50mm f/1.8 for $125 new. So you could easily get each of these lenses in the lower hundreds.

It sends a message to those would otherwise help North Korea (or Russia or Iran) of "don't violate sanctions."
If you helped smuggle $1M in cash across the NK border you'd also be arrested and convicted for helping to evade sanctions. If anything crypto-enthusiasts should be happy to hear that the US government treats crypto as a legitimate means of moving money between nations, and punishes actors accordingly.

I'm glad he's a nice guy based on your interactions, but he knowingly tried to enrich an totalitarian state that has successfully built offensive nuclear weapons and is actively testing ICBMs. That's insanely anti-social behavior which endangers the lives of millions of innocent people in the region. He deserves those 5 years. You can't hide behind the curtain of victimless crypto-evangelism while also admitting in text convos that you're likely helping them evade sanctions.
This is just a multi-junction photovoltaic cell optimized for temperatures of the radiant body between 1900 and 2400 Celsius degreees.

Such multi-junction photovoltaic cells, but optimized for the higher temperature of the Sun, have existed for many years and efficiencies over 45% are well known.

So there is no point in heating anything, the concentrated solar light must be directed to an appropriate multi-junction photovoltaic cell, for the best efficiency.

Despite their very high efficiency, the multi-junction photovoltaic cells are seldom used for solar energy, because they are expensive, so they can only be used together with light-concentrating mirrors, to achieve a reasonable cost.

Even with mirrors, the price is still much higher than for normal solar panels, so they might be chosen only when space constraints would prohibit the use of a larger area with solar panels.

There are other terms analogous to “fold”, like “topology” (as used in CATH), but they will probably never see widespread use.
Don't free too bad. Grocery store margins are atrocious.
If I'm reading this right, this actually has a larger usable band gap range than traditional photovoltaics -- the article talks about capturing the high-energy photons -- in the first pass. This means that the cell can actually capture the electrons knocked out by those high-energy photons, which is something we haven't been able to do.

Silicon's band gap (1.11 eV) corresponds to 1110 nm (NIR), and any photons with more than 3 eV energy (413 nm) are lost (and all the excess energy in photons in between is lost as heat). Newer cells are around 0.6-0.7 eV, but I don't know their maximum capture energy. That's all the violet light and UV. There's a startup that makes a polymer film that can create two lower energy photons in the band gap from a high-energy photon to capture some of that wasted light. This would seem to be a cell that could capture it directly. Very very cool; that's a lot more energy captured per photon.

What I'm unclear on is why you need to heat it up so much to get to those efficiency levels, and it wouldn't just work as an ordinary solar cell.
This speaks to a lack of operational excellence - when you develop a platform like JIRA, Confluence, etc, the operational tools required to manage the systems are just as important as the features themselves. If all you do is pump out features, you're a feature factory and will suffer these kinds of issues. There's no reasonable explanation for needing a script to do what was described when the necessary tooling to generalize such an operation should have been in existence.
I think you don't understand how sanctions work.

Tin is normal (and also the reason the loaf is rectangular with a mushroom top rather than round):
https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-sandwich-br...

For batter vs. dough: yes, they are not the same, but adding any fat to dough inhibits glutten (e.g., https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/36267/how-does-f...), which is why sandwich bread is soft and spongy. It may not pour, but neither does muffin batter or brownies, for example. My point is there is a whole spectrum for gluten formation.

Compare the cake recipe https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-birthday-ca... to the bread recipe above. The main difference is that butter is added along with eggs, and the leavening is different. Artisan bread only has the 4 ingredients, sandwich bread adds sugar, milk, and oil, and cake changes leavening and adds eggs/butter. As you go up the spectrum, you are intentionally avoiding strong gluten development, resulting in smaller holes and softer texture. See challah bread for another data point of bread with eggs+oil https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/classic-challah-rec.... You can also make the gluten weak by using something like 100% rye, which has to be baked in the same tin (though that would have a harder crust).

That's way more computationally expensive and only available if the camera is on (and the user's mouth is visible).

Yeah, soft delete is the way to go in 99.99% of the cases, with a system setup to eventually hard delete on some schedule (preferably don't hard delete until X number of backups have caught the soft deleted data safely, for example).
How do you differentiate a string? Enum?
Those are all amazing vehicles. I played a bit with water cooled solar cells, I found that the hard part wasn't the cooling but to be able to draw that much current from a single cell, the attachment points for the wiring typically really weren't up to the job and having multiple attachment points became a necessity. You also need a pretty beefy pump and radiator to get rid of the excess heat, though I guess in a vehicle you would use an active system with a fan.

What I don't understand about the Viking 29 article is how an 8 KW generator is going to power a 75 KW motor, is there something I'm missing?
This really could be a bigger problem.
I remember being told years back with Digitalocean to not rely on their backups by one of the people that wrote their system. This made sense to me as they didn't even charge for it for the longest time. We do now use it some of the time and haven't had problems but there's always a second place we send images to (usually S3) as well as longer term offline archives.
Hikaru's win in the Grand Prix was great, but the Candidates is far different. For example, Alireza Firouzja - another member of the upcoming Candidates cycle - has been MIA for a while, likely due to the insane amount of time he is putting into Candidates prep.

Since Hikaru has far fewer recent classical matches than the other upcoming Candidates participants (with the exception of current world #2 Ding Liren, who still needs to finish 30 games before May), he'll have an edge when it comes to preparation. However, unless he prepares like a madman, he'll be at most a wildcard candidate, perhaps beating a favorite or two but unlikely to win it all.

I'll personally be rooting for Ding and Fabi. I like Hikaru as well, but I unfortunately just don't see him beating Magnus in a World Chess Championship.
Heat radiation losses (scaling with the fourth power of the temperatures) would obliterate such a storage solution. I could only imagine it as very short-term, at which point heating using electricity and converting back shortly after quickly becomes pointless.

Actually, I've heard a researcher say that in the MDMA studies they ran, some people who were given placebos experienced a full breakthrough, with lots of emotion, crying, and therapeutic benefit and swore that they were given MDMA.

It probably also helped that these were people who'd never tried MDMA.. so they didn't really know what to expect.

Also, in microdosing studies, I think even sugar pills could be very effective placebos.
I think it's more that it's delivering in a practical way to people that live in authoritarian governments with currencies that are more unstable than bitcoin. In places where the citizens have to deal with their governments literally trying to steal their hard assets.

For those of us who live in countries with a good banking system and mostly stable currencies (which is most of hn), bitcoin isn't a necessity.
This article on HN is the only time I've even heard that Atlassian was having a problem. I suspect that 99% of the tech "community" has absolutely no idea this is happening.

We use Jira, but it's self-hosted for my team. Maybe other teams that have transitioned to the cloud version are aware that there's a problem, but I haven't heard about it.
