My father as a newly minted ensign in 1958 served aboard the USS Interpreter and would recall fondly one of his first conversations with the captain. My father asked about how the analysts they reported contacts to would know “when it was the real one”. To which the captain laughed “You damn fool. They’ll know it’s the real one when we don’t report in.”

Also, bot networks are so kind as to label themselves with the same hashtag, I don't understand why Twitter doesn't analyze trending topics to detect bots. There's always dormant accounts with thousands of followed/followers who start the propaganda.

Planetary "carrying capacity" is not at all well defined. It depends on too many things like natural developments (think year 536), how the economy is organized, and powered, where and how many nukes have exploded, the quality of life, unforeseeable technological and scientific developments, dynamical ecosystems, ... So I'm curious what you mean by it? And how can you declare there's "basically no risk" when we still have superpowers with atom bombs going to war?
Another cool Safari tab UI feature, if you use the bottom URL bar, is you can swipe between tabs without even viewing the tab grid view at all. And if you’re at the end of the tab list, another swipe will create a new tab.

The swipe feature also makes more obvious, but easier to work around, bugs in the open in new tab -> back button feature (which is also awesome, when it works).
Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of users with this free option?
I don't think you should conflate those two things. I've run GSuite for a number of vanity domains since they started offering it way back when and have always had my actual Google account tied to my OG Gmail ([name]@gmail.com). In this way I don't have to worry about dealing with a split-horizon type situation if I ever decide to pull those vanity domains down and move them elsewhere. That and I don't trust Google to not do something evil (intentional or otherwise). I don't want to be in a situation where I'm locked out of things I paid for or payment accounts AND be locked out of the vanity domain(s) email.

The other nice side effect is I only use my gmail.com address for Google account related things. I don't get personal email there anymore and that inbox is pristine which is impressive since I've had it since Gmail launched.

My GSuite account, on the other hand, is quite a dumpster fire from years of personal email, aliases, and adding in other domains from time to time. Part of me would just like to walk away from it but too many things are tied to a number of email addresses in those domains.

I really do prefer Fastmail at this point, but I don't want to move these particular domains given how much junk gets sent to those addresses.

But... I wouldn't suggest using a vanity address as a primary Google account. Managing the two is worth the overhead and risk avoidance.

Since the beginning of the conversation, I am saying that is not about the assets. Why do you continue to center your reasoning around that?

It's like worrying about parking lots in a world where self-driving cars are available on-demand. If you don't believe that self-driving cars are ever going to reach that state, fine.

It's a bad deal for the consumer, though. The complicated Netflix infrastructure is way more robust and stable than SMB+VLC, but I don't need to serve video to millions of people and maintain a complex and rotating streaming library with various publisher contracts determining what shows are available where. I just queue up a show.

Division of labor with companies hosting servers for online games makes sense until the servers go away and then what? No more Warcraft III ever, I guess, the servers are gone.

When we go in on centralization, we lose availability, privacy, and control. The services are more reliable from a technical sense but less reliable from a social sense.

I suspect that most of the barrier islands along the United States' eastern intracoastal waterway will submerged by the time I die (2070ish). The pace at which beach disappears near my local barrier island has clearly increased in the past decade.
This is really more of a comment on a lot of the replies to this comment than the comment itself:

Something to keep in mind is that cats have a very broad but different hearing range from humans. Their central frequency range of hearing overlaps with human speech but doesn't entirely cover it on the low end. So if your voice is low, you might need to raise your pitch a bit to help the cat recognize it as vocalization or differentiate it.

And they also don't really naturally communicate with vocalizations (unlike dogs, I believe); cat to cat communication is through other means. They literally learned to meow to talk to us because we don't understand their communication methods (sometimes, but not always, because we lack the senses to do so). So I think that's something to keep in mind if you feel like your cat is being obtuse: they're literally working pretty hard to make you understand them, actually.

So like, it's not that surprising that sometimes they just don't want to put in the effort. You'd probably feel the same way.
“There was, back in the 90s, an amendment to the National Flood Insurance Program called the Upton Jones Amendment,” said Couch, “and it essentially paid 40% of the property policy to relocate the home, and paid 110% of the policy to demolish the home.”

“Well, in its short five-year existence, with the combination of hurricanes, the lunar tides, and some bad stuff weather-wise, it proved to be very [costly], and 75% of the applicants were for demolishing their homes,” added Couch. “So, as you can imagine, the insurance lobby put the kibosh on that pretty quickly.”

A bummer that targeted special-interest lobbying always seems to have the tactical advantage that diffuse citizen interests lack.

Why would they be allowed to own BTC but not USD?

How are they going to buy groceries with their BTC? Pay rent? Taxes?

Go to the local black market and exchange it for local currency? You can do that just fine with USD, too.

Does doing black-market deals in BTC somehow make you immune to arrest, prosecution, and execution?
Does AWS do this ?

Unless your using DO at a very large scale the pricing difference isn't significant.

I personally use AWS now since my skills with AWS are useful at work as well. That's the biggest perk of AWS to me.

At the same time I've always found AWS to have convoluted confusing billing, at least DO is straight forward even if it's gone up a buck or so.

If you were a fan of your favorite band before anyone else, you may also find https://github.com/abathur/shell-hag somewhat interesting.

I found it sad that there's so much overlapping effort (here, but in profile plug-ins broadly) so I also abstracted its foundational shell glue out into its own module, https://github.com/abathur/shellswain.

I am slow-cooking them, for better and worse.
Given how long it took and their original apathy to the negative reaction, I’m guessing a large percentage of users were migrating away rather than paying to upgrade.

And now I’m curious what that number is.

That was always going to be a very temporary boom. The only reason there was an opportunity was because supply was suddenly and vastly dwarfed by demand for weeks. As soon as large mask manufacturers were able to ramp up production, the grannies were doomed.
I do miss the diversity of computing from back then. Today everything has converged on looking and acting almost the same, but back then there was so much more choice. Amiga, Atari St, Mac, SGI, Sun, NeXT, and a whole lot more.
I'm not sure what your performance constraints are, but you could try using RefCell<T> for objects which need to be shared with the closure. It's a fairly low overhead abstraction. Also, you can try creating a reference explicitly that gets used in the closure for objects which don't need mut references.

let helperX = &x;
let ycell = RefCell::new(y);
let yref = &ycell;
fn helper() {
helperX.whatever();
ycell.borrow_mut().ystuff();
}

In this case, RefCell checks at runtime that you don't have an outstanding borrow in your regular code (which you can avoid via explicit drops or by carefully using blocks). It's essentially a very low overhead RW lock and unlike Rc, it doesn't even allocate on the heap.
Internal repositories, for example, make it easier to have one set of Git Actions that is available to any Git Actions runner in your Org. What this means in practical terms, is cleaner code that is less repetitive. It's a total cop-out for GH to act like this is a feature worth paying for enterprise. It's not just useful to enterprise users, it's useful to everyone, including free users.

TL;DR: GH encourages bad coding practices unless you pay them enough. It's not consumer friendly and they can barely keep Actions running consistently enough to justify a paywall for such a staple feature.

This web site's slideshow widget hijacks my Command-LeftArrow shortcut for the back button in Safari.

I usually treat anything that isn't open source, or a product that makes multiple billions of dollars and is totally entrenched in industry, as basically disposable.

I will use it, especially if it's free/youretheproductware, if it's convenient, but I don't want to build anything on top of it. I don't want to create anything with it that can't be ported elsewhere.

With open source it's a lot more comfortable to say "This appears to be popular and will be around for a long time, I don't need to start thinking about alternatives".

Occasionally in some areas it's helpful to keep alternatives in mind in case something better comes along, but some things are already near universal.
> I can't find any evidence that the 3.5mm size of the connector has a spring

????? I guess I may be using the incorrect word. How do you refer to what keeps the audio circuit closed when no plug is inside the jack, opens it when the plug is inserted, and generally holds the plug inside the jack?

> Please link to someone with a broken 3.5mm connector due to a spring, if you can find it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZIWvvl_O7M -- first DDG result. Almost anyone suffering from a loose connection, losing one channel, sound continues to go to the speakers, etc. is suffering from either dust or this.

_In this very article_ there is someone complaining about the plug detect misbehaving which is actually something sensed by the spring (which opens a circuit when the plug is inserted -- on a classic TV this actually opens the normal audio circuit so that you don't hear anything on speakers, on a modern smartphone it just signals the OS).

> There are counterexamples in both categories, but my sample size is big enough now that I am willing to bet that the 3.5mm connector is just very well-designed and difficult to damage.

My dislike comes from a period when I was doing tech support some decades ago. People complain about broken microUSB connectors and the like, but now microUSB is something well designed, since it usually breaks at the cable side (i.e. the cheap side; for example the springs are on the plug). The 3.5 jack is not well-designed since it is usually the jack which wears (at the expensive side).

Keeping something 24/24 7/7 plugged in usually starts to kill the plug in a couple years. E.g. I'm hard of hearing, so I have to keep my headset plugged in all the time in the TV, and a after a couple years of this I start having problems where I suddenly lose one channel and have to go around the TV fiddling with the plug. Eventually this kills the jack (sound always goes to speakers or viceversa), which I've already replaced a couple times...
As it should be.

I feel that our organization paying for five heads at the mid-tier enterprise level entitles us to such a basic feature. I actually _do_ think this feature should be available to all users, even free.

I think I remember wondering, after the dotcom bust, if the whole web thing would actually take off.

The reasoning I vaguely remember reading was that the internet required government subsidy to exist - at first directly, then in the form of universities, and the bust was a sign that it couldn't exist without one.

I don't remember how prevalent the view was at the time though. Obviously it turned out to be wrong.
> But nobody was actually very effective

Australian here. Define "not very effective" because is looked to me like the approach AU/NZ took was extraordinarily effective.

To those that don't know, the AU/NZ approach was to limit spread with mandatory (enforced by policing) lock downs / masks / social distancing / quarantine / travel embargoes until >80% of the population was vaccinated, then remove all restrictions. It was remarkably effective in preventing the spread of the disease. Only one state screwed it up so badly their hospital system was overloaded for a while (NSW) - and even then it was only for a few weeks. More surprisingly, it was just as effective economically - AU/NZ recovering fast than just about anyone else.

To give you the idea of how effective those measures were: last year, when they were in full effect, we 600 flu cases. This year isn't 1/2 over yet, but the restrictions are gone. 10,000 flu cases so far.
Only one that I can think of - I wasn't able to get Bluetooth to work.
I was using Scribus for multi page documents but, as a fully fledged DTP solution, it is often overkill, I'm glad I can now use Inkscape for smaller jobs, thanks to the new Page tool.

> Starting from this distribution, what would happen if every woman had the same number of children as her mother? A woman with 1 child would have only one grandchild; a woman with 2 children would have 4 grandchildren; a woman with 3 children would have 9 grandchildren, and so on. In the next generation, there would be more big families and fewer small families.

I don’t think this is correct, because not all children are female. Under this scenario a woman with one child would have either one or zero grandchildren, a women with 2 children would have 0, 2 or 4 grandchildren, etc.

I guess the point the article is making (that the average number of kids needs to decrease to keep the population from exploding) still stands.
Tiger Global slashes bets on tech groups after stock market sell-off
Ideally there would be a solution to bridge the huge class gap and better distribute resources such that middle class would move to the upper class and leave a vacuum pulling poor people up, but I do find it considerably disturbing to see how many people downvote ideas on social media. We're not yet a society that's mature enough to entertain ideas we disagree with, it seems.
yeah, theory 1 was they thought they could get some money out of pushing users to Workspace and didn't get the conversion rate they hoped for.

Theory 2 is they really were developing a GSuite to Google Account migrator and it ended up being way too messy to be workable in the deadline they set themselves.

Ask HN: Thoughts on the UFO News/Videos?
UFO hearing in front of US congress is happening tomorrow. Curious to get a temperature check on people's thoughts. Lou Elizondo & Co. have largely been uninspiring with all of their evasive descriptions of things, despite some interesting info about DoD hiding their clearances or whatever.

I would say I am less convinced of "aliens visiting Earth" now vs 2/3 years ago, but the fact that it is still in the public discourse and that the military/intelligence apparatus has to share findings/info with our elected officials is... something I guess.
I could have sworn this landed some time ago, so I looked it up. Turns out I was partly right. Partial WebKit support was added in 2020[1], but it depends on which decoder is available. According to metadata on the commit, it looks like this shipped in Safari 15.4. No telling if/when they’ll add hardware support, but they’ve been more receptive to royalty free codecs in recent years then their historical reputation suggests.
