What's the newest Wifi standard? ax? Anyway: it's quite... something? My standard router runs four different networks on two different IDs and if I understand it correctly, the fasted frequencies are subject to occasional use by... my local Patriot air defense system(?) which it needs to occasionally check for.
That sounds interesting. There must be apps that do require full access (like a finder alternative), so I wonder if you can know to trust an app to be isolated just by looking at it.
Passive scans would be possible.
Unless Russia rolls in.
To each their own of course, but given the binary choice between a boring topic and a topic that will inevitably cause me to think about my own kids dying in an accident, bring on the boredom.
I'm still using a number of Motorola Defy phones from 2010-2011 which are IP67+ rated (30 minutes at 1.5m water depth). Needless to say they have 3.5mm headphone as well as micro-USB connectors. The solution to this problem lies in a simple rubber plug which closes the hole when the connector is not in use.

Does it work? Well, one of the phones used to be my daughter's. She forgot to take it out of her pocket when she put her trousers in the washing machine so it ended up going through a full wash and spin cycle. It still worked, there was no water ingress in the phone itself. The earpiece did seem to have gotten damaged so I replaced it (5 new earpieces for $2.50 incl. shipping, I still have 4 left...). This phone is now used as a media player, running mpd which can be remotely controlled from other phones in the network. It connects to my jobsite radio (an oversized and overweight boombox I made around an old car MP3/CD/Radio with 2x40W speakers with bass reflex and a SLA starting helper/power pack) using that 3.5mm jack.

Ask HN: From a business perspective, how does an “arms deal” play out?
Imagine congress approves the “$40 billion arms deal to Ukraine.” Logistically, what does this mean? How do the weapons and money change hands?

Presumably the US treasury doesn’t send palettes of cash and a letter of reference for the Ukrainian military to give to Raytheon and Lockheed Martin in exchange for as many million-dollar missiles as they can fit in their C-130 shopping cart.

So how does it work? Who picks which vendors provide the weapons? Who transfers the money to the vendors? Is the Ukrainian military even involved in the transaction, or do they take whatever the US buys for them?

It seems to me that this must be rife with moral hazards. How convenient that right as the war in Afghanistan winds down (leaving all the equipment unrecoverable), a new war starts up and suddenly Uncle Sam is paying $40 billion to unload your excess stock and get you started on the next generation of weaponry.

I’m all for helping the people of Ukraine, but I also believe firmly that war is unequivocally, always bad. So any action that prolongs or escalates a war must also be inherently bad. Combined with my distrust of arms manufacturers, I don’t feel good about the current situation.

I’m hoping someone can shed some light on the practical reality of how this goes down.
The money they make for investors is a direct measurement of the value they create.

That is quite unreasonable to expect. The Renault Zoe came out at around the same time as the Model S and had over 150km of reasonable range, at half the price a Model 3 sells at today. It was already competitive.
Ok. This sounds great for easy developing. But when I'm hosting this I'm not a mitmproxy. I want to act like a normal server/endpoint for API A.
Flappy bird made more money than most games, and it can be created by anybody in a few hours.

If what you say is true, then the game industry should be dead right now.
The premise of MAD is the enemy will fire back as with conventional warfare. But if US nukes Moscow, Moscow retaliating by by nuking DC will only assure destruction of St. Petersburg and other cities and locations, not retaliating in fear of further escalation is a very real scenario. But military minds prepare for the worst. The damage caused by the first strike as well as the success of the retaliation attempts can heavily influence victory and escalation.

I call it Pharoh's dillema. When Moses caused all the horrible things to happen, the pharoh gave in but changed his mind eventually. But when his precious first born died, he gave in for good. Kind of how nagasaki needed to happen instead of just hiroshima. Realistic capability means little when facing grand and unthinkable loss.
Yeah, that’s a fair point. I am kind of coming from this place where we’ve been treating structure solution as an optimization/search problem for a long time. To me the competing methods to AlphaFold seem a lot more like computer chess systems than human grandmasters. The first structure solution by a human I guess would be closer to the grandmaster in this analogy. (Caveat: I’m in an adjacent field so not a direct expert)

I think higher level scientific tasks are like evaluating evidence under different mechanistic hypotheses, designing experiments to disambiguate these, coming up with novel mechanistic hypotheses, etc. I’m also not sure that automated systems for these tasks require intelligence. They just have to obsolete the current intelligent systems (humans) that perform these tasks, like computer chess. I don’t know, maybe this is “no true Scotsman” for machine intelligence?
I like spending time around my house, sometimes in garden, sometimes around a coffee shop, some work/some socializing/free time.

This can't be possible (at least practically) with a wired setup. I've almost never ran out of battery on my laptop or headphones and never have issues with Wi-Fi (worst case I have wireless hotspot on phone anyway).

I don't see any problem with a wireless setup other than convenience, where the extra capacity/reliability of wires isn't needed 99.9% of the time anyway.
The ability to not be tethered to your computer desk/office is a big one reason to use a laptop. Your computer isn't just for doing work.

I think a good balance is a laptop with a single wire to USB-C/Thunderbolt dock, with external monitors and wired peripherals, ethernet.

If you move around, wired headphones are a PITA, Airpods have pretty much solved wireless audio for me (especially consistent device switching).

Does netflix allow reviews? I'm a big user of reviews, both good and bad, but some of these platforms have stopped showing reviews so it makes it really hard to evaluate if something might be worth watching.

I don't not watch because a bad review necessarily because I look to see if the complaint is about something I care a lot about
I think that's right!

Incidentally, I was recently very surprised to discover, via my young nephew, that the Turtles are still very much a thing. Who'd have thought of the Ninja Turtles as a piece of 90s culture that would endure?
> Couldn't a rubber gasket on the 1/8" jack help with water resistance?

Couldn't the jack itself be made to be water resistant? Seal it up and use relatively inert metals for the contacts.
Nissan and Renault took EVs seriously before Tesla came out with the Model S - Renault was working on the Zoe since before 2008.
There are indeed always going to be unknown causes of death at any age, sometimes it is just hard to determine.

It seems inappropriate to give a name and diagnosis to “cause unknown”

MERS and strep both have easily attributed causes.

SIDS seems really not to, it really seems that there is not an underlying cause that doesn’t already exist. “Babies are more susceptible to suffocation and more care needs to be taken in their sleeping arrangement” doesn’t seem like a disease, even if some babies are more susceptible than others (and those many individual susceptibilities already have names)

Baby humans are vulnerable to lots of things because that’s what they are, SIDS and modern attempts to attribute it to things seems to be a harmful distraction from the actual causes of death.
By the way, let us take her Donald Trump example.

He says a bunch of BS about elections being stolen.

The easy thing to do is publish the facts and rebut him.

Why does this not work?

Decades of lies, manipulations basically acting as State Media has rendered the people who would publish facts not trusted anymore than Donald Trump is!

OF FUCKING COURSE he gets traction!

Nobody should be surprised!

What this woman should be doing is forcing media to not lie, not manipulate and not be State Media to gain the trust and have the interests of the public properly discussed and represented in the dialog and in our body politic.

But that would mean a lot of people having to own an awful lot they don't feel good about and that the public would hold them accountable for.

So, we are gonna see these clowns censor, suppress and double down on avoiding issues while highlighting every war, boogie man, and shiny distraction there ever was so the games can continue.

Pardon me for not being impressed and on board with any of this crap at all.
I don't have too many issues with WiFi, but my house is sort of isolated. I don't have much if any interference from neighbors. If I lived in an apartment complex with 10 or more different WiFi networks in the same airspace it might be different.

Bluetooth on the other hand is an absolute no-go. I have had uniformly bad experiences with it, and refuse to use any device that depends on a bluetooth connection.

That doesn't seem very relevant. Obviously there are places where you can realistically only build one or the other, but there's lots of places where you can build either, and if your goal is to increase housing density, those are the places you're interested in (regardless of what your method is).

edit: and it's also obvious that density can be affected by zoning laws, but I was assuming those are held constant (because a, they kind of are constant in that they don't change much, and b, the present phenomenon of rents rising sharply since 2005 is, I think, not generally believed to be caused primarily by a change in zoning regulations)
New Spinal Tap II Movie in the Works
You do realize that google makes MOST of its money from corps (through marketing crap to you).

Apple incentives are somewhat better aligned with consumers, as they make MOST of their money selling consumers actual stuff, including incredibly hardware!
You've misunderstood me. I don't believe twitter has an obligation to be a platform for free speech. You're arguing against points I never made which makes me believe you may be misunderstanding other arguments as well.

Musk wants twitter to be a platform for free speech, that does not mean he or anyone else is legally obligated (or in my opinion even morally obligated) to make their platform a place for free speech.
Where does one find Skq1?
It depends on how often you hit 'reload' on HN. Ten times an hour? you've heard of it. Ten times a month? much less likely.

Most of my work colleagues haven't heard of HN and therefore wouldn't have frequent opportunities to hear about Zig.
> I yearn for the day that I will get to work at a company that gives me a wired connection at my desk.

It boggles my mind that any company wouldn't do that. Wifi sucks so bad and offices are so dense with people. The cube at my office have several network drops each, across many different cubicle systems. I figured they were standard equipment.
I LOVE Danger Mouse. It still totally holds up.

Also Count Duckula! David Jason (who is very English) did an American accent in that. Which I don't recall finding odd at the time, as a child.
Survivorship bias is a hell of a drug. The real test to see whether it's wisdom or luck is to predict the next Tesla. I don't think many people who point to their Tesla stock performance as vindication could come up with a repeatable theory of investing. If they could, their TSLA gains would be nothing next to their next investments.

That's how I know people who make that argument don't actually know anything. It's like someone still talking about that great touchdown in high school at 50. Where's the next one?

You don't see Elon Musk bragging about his $22 million from Zip2.
ncmncm, what is your specific definition for "actually" knowing a programming language?

If it's something like "mastery over most or all facets and nuances", perhaps there are a few thousand human beings in total who meet this qualification. Across all programming languages across the entire Earth.
Oh that triggers another memory: on a family holiday in the South of France lac Biscarosse+, I finally managed to get the hang of a borrowed wind surfing board and promptly sailed across the lake because I was too afraid to let go. Totally cramped and had to walk back dragging the board because I didn't understand how to tack yet. That was a very long day with lots of people worried because I could barely swim (pretty rare for a Dutch kid to be a bad swimmer).

All is well that ends well...

+highly recommended, beautiful area and very nice campings.
>It really doesn't matter what you or I think of the president, he was a democratically elected leader of arguably, the most influential nation in the world.

The United States is not a monarchy, theocracy or autocracy. The President of the United States is a citizen like any other, with rights equal to any other. Being "a democratically elected leader of arguably, the most influential nation in the world" does not entitle one to a Twitter account, or to carte-blanche rights to endanger and undermine the legitimacy of the peaceful transfer of power of one's own nation, which is why Trump was banned in the first place. Not because of his beliefs, or his political views or because of some radical globalist agenda, but because people were legitimately afraid he was going to trigger a civil war.

The President having to play by the same rules as everyone else, even to the degree that he can be banned from social media like anyone else (even though Trump was still given far more leeway than most people,) is a feature of American democracy, not a bug.
Wireless (and LTE hotspots) gives me freedom to get my laptop and work with wherever I like with my laptop.

I don't need cabled connections of any kind 99.9% of the time, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth headset, and my laptop "just work". Any stability and performance gain from using a wired setup is negligible in daily life (apart from very specific tasks) and convenience of wireless is far outweighing any gains of wires.

Been this way for many years with zero issues.

So yeah, I like this "trap".
Every feeling you are having will pass. Make small steps toward your goal, interview, and try to let it go. Debt doesn't need to be resolved immediately, creditors will work with you if you make an effort to pay.

As for "burden while looking for a job", that is something you are carrying with you and perhaps into your interviews. You need to put your true, best face forward, and you will settle this with time.

In the meantime, to cover debt, any income helps. You might find waiting tables or something on weekends easily adds $2-3k a month to your income.
Well as CEO it's his Parag-ative.
Smaller orgs VP level. Larger EVP. You almost always retain a lawyer to review these things. Change in control is a very common trigger for a lot of things in most employment contracts of this nature. The downside is you end up with much more ironclad covenants and restrictions. But your comp is often at a FU level if you do get fired so it balances most of the time.
I’ve witnessed a neighbor scream bloody murder at a pair of teenage boys for using the pool, because the age limit is 16 and these boys were only 13. Quite the offense. The same man will speed around every speed bump in the neighborhood, swerving into the parking spaces narrowly dodging parked cars and, on occasion, pedestrians and pets.

Retired carpetbaggers with nothing to do and no check-and-balance to their behavior. Ever since that fateful day I’ve pondered just how to setup an HOA to counter such behavior.
I think our current system is the one that hands developers a huge hammer. It lets them capture all of land rents. I think that’s unjust bs.

But if you need to live in fantasy-land where NIMBYs are the ones saving the world instead of poisoning it, I guess you have every right to remain deluded.

I’m not advocating for an LVT to force my preferences on anyone. I advocate for an LVT because I think it’s a far better form of taxation than income tax. Left and right wing economists both agree.

You want to capture your own land rents so you don’t care how many developers do so as well or how harmful it is for society. Your position is basically “screw you, got mine” and it’s showing.
> The law was designed to target big sites

Curious that "big site" is defined as 50 million users and not, say, 1 million users.

Maybe because the right-wing authors of this law want right-wing sites to be able to grow and still be exempt from the law, to allow right-wing communities to continue censoring views they don't like.

For example, Truth Social (2 million users), Gettr (3 million users) and Gab (4 million users).
Sad to hear this wasn't able to make it into GA.

But the link-relationship methodology is interesting (similar to something like PageRank through backlinks).

But it's not the methodology I'd have initially gravitated towards.

My first instinct would be relations based on subscription overlap. This seems like it should group commonalities based on the user interests. This may also have alleviated some of the SPAM issues.

Though it would have been interesting to see both approaches merged together.
True, although longer battery life makes a battery-powered device more reliable too

By the time Tesla had sold 100,000 Model S cars in the US, Nissan had already sold over 110 000 Leafs.

Tesla created the market for high-performance EVs. They did not create the overall EV market. The high-end market is only a small part of the numbers.
If you need to move around, wired headphones suck. IME, interference and latency are non issues with BT. Otherwise, the lighting to 3.5mm dongle works perfectly.

At my desk, i do have wired headphones, but they are plugged into my TB dock.
>I am always in meetings with "sorry, my headphones died, can you repeat that" or people mysteriously vanishing because their laptop can't charge as fast as Zoom draws power and their computer just dies.

You're missing the point. Wireless technology failing is a fantastic excuse to get out of Zoom meetings!
> ...what is the supporting evidence for the alternate "zoonotic transmission" theory?

This is a reasonable question and should be answered rather than downvoted. A study released a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30487145) found that two strains of SARS-CoV-2 emerged at the Wuhan market in November-December 2019, Lineage A and Lineage B. From the submitted article, "it’s extremely improbable that two distinct lineages of SARS-CoV-2 could have been derived from a laboratory and then coincidentally ended up at the market."

Yup, I think this is the pretty much describes the limitation of today's AIs. They are gigantic statistics machines at best. It's still amazing how far we can get with this technique, but we know where they stop getting better.
I'm an oldest child, 3 siblings. My experiences and observations would agree with you.

Sometimes it even gets just a little annoying - how come my youngest sibling gets to do things at a much younger age then I was allowed to? :)
Great, just make the city centres safe, clean, friendly places so that people who are "middle class, suburban, and white" want to live there. Then we can all live in four story walkups and ride our bicycles and eat fresh baguettes...without having to dodge heroin needles or human excrement or have abuse hurled it us or be assaulted.

I'm being genuinely serious here. I used to love the concept of relatively high density living. For years I walked or rode my bicycle everywhere in cities. But I got sick of the fights and the filth, got too many concussions, and now I'm out here in the country side where I "see the world as a foreign and scary place".

Make it nicer and we'll come back. If that doesn't happen, don't complain when we make rational decisions for ourselves and our families.

Is the first amendment a good thing? If so, why? Does the reason you come up with magically not apply to twitter? Of course it applies.

Twitter is not legally obligated to allow free speech but there are other reasons to do something than legal obligation.
In that usrmerge adds symlinks that dpkg does not know about, doesn't manage and doesn't understand. Like if the sysadmin added random symlinks in various places. All bets are off after that. I'm surprised the amount of breakage isn't higher TBH.
AWS has several "pub/sub" like services: SNS, IoT MQTT, Managed Kafka, Kinesis, EventBridge, etc.
If you configure things so that the wifi adapter gets the same IP address as the wired connection you should be able to continue communicating with those machines. SSH uses TCP which is connection-oriented so as long as the connection can be made it should work (bar problems with MTU etc.). You might experience a stall before the connection becomes alive again but it should work.
I think it's a problem with the TCP/IP stack somehow. If I try the same thing when downloading something from chrome, the download fails. If I'm loading a website I get a "connection interrupted" error. Really there's no reason that my device shouldn't have its own IP and treat wifi and ethernet as two different routes to my device. Remember "IP routes around damage"?
The one thing I can’t stand about the criticism towards the present NFT space is when people heavily reduce the current market to ‘jpgs’. you’re not purchasing or trading images, that’s only how it appears.
There's no competition in the mid/low cost market - there are no mid/low cost EV's. The leaf rides like a bottom end ICE compact and costs as much as a very nice ICE sedan, and not really that much less than a low end tesla. Honda/Ford/Toyota don't have anything in the EV space. They might have something on their web sites, but no dealer will have them in stock.
