Seems like a pretty straightforward reason under equal protection.

Unless someone successfully changes the definition of equal protection to only apply to some groups (ie forcing non-male) then it’s going to be stuck here for a while, I think.

So I think there will need to be some sort of push for a constitutional amendment. But I can’t imagine proponents actually arguing and convincing enough states to agree.
I don't know if "whales" is the right metaphor in this situation.

This is largely true in other countries. Affluence is relative but it’s seen as a very clean and consistent burger joint.
Cost is all-important. Ignoring cost makes anything you write irrelevant.

The US is not the only user or producer of energy. A comprehensive solution needs to carry everybody. If tropical country A will not sell you synthetic fuel, you may buy from B, C, D, E, F, G, or H, or some from each. There can be no embargo on sunshine. The US gets plenty, too.

There is no room for nukes in any solution, because nukes cannot produce at a price that A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H cannot all beat. Its ask wins no bids. This is predictable, so it will find no financiers, excepting only corrupt governments that will initiate ruinously expensive projects, then cancel them long before completion. The projects will not give back so much as a penny handed them.

I had a SPARCstation 5 on my desk in 1997. I took an SBus graphics card out of another machine. It would boot just fine without it. Then I put it in my SS5 and connected a second monitor. People around me thought it was amazing that I could have 2 monitors on the same machine.

We got a few Ultra 2 machines and then an Enterprise 450. I still remember being so excited when it arrived on a palette and when we unboxed it it came with 2 wooden ramps that attached to the palette so you could roll it down to the floor.

One engineer got an Ultra 60 as his desktop but by 1998 we started replacing most desktop machines with Linux / x86 and running everything remote and displaying to our local machines via X11 with the Suns in the closet. We also had a Sun Enterprise 4500 with around 16 CPUs at the main office.

By 2003 we started replacing our Suns with AMD 64-bit machines and Linux. All of our semiconductor design software was already Unix / X11 so it was easy to port to Linux. Around 2004 the switch was complete and we never used Suns anymore. They just fell behind the price / performance curve and couldn't compete with Linux / x86-64 anymore.

> e.g.2. selling quality software on the iOS app store is like trying to sell a ferrari in a literal dollar store. It's going to be an uphill battle.

That's a problem. The iOS App Store was initially founded as a "dollar store," but has become more and more expensive, over the years. I think that most of the apps that I've paid for, are in the $10-$40 range. A couple are ongoing in-app "subscriptions."

The only non-free app that I sell, is a countdown timer. I ask $0.99 for it, in the vain hope that, one day, I might recoup the localization costs (about $1,300), but I don't especially care, whether or not I ever do. I certainly couldn't ask for more, with a straight face. I'll be releasing a total rewrite of it in a few days, when I get back the localization files.

Most of what I do is free, and I've yanked about 20 apps off the store, when they get "long in the tooth."

It isn't doing time of flight, but just getting under a latency threshold that these devices use as a cutoff to try and avoid things like this relay attack.

They say they got the added delay somewhere below 8ms to defeat the system. In 8ms, light/radio travels around 2500km.
GPL is copyleft (copies authorized by default) until you violate the terms. Then normal copyright law applies and it's the same as an unauthorized book copy.
If the software you use is decently priced and does what you need then fine. I'm sure that support is fine too.

When I call for help in say Krita or Samba on the mailing lists, I often get the actual programmers responding. Not all the time but quite often.

I've been running an IT company for 22 years. I have a fair idea about what the market is up to. It turns out that a wanky LDAP n Kerberos combo will still be available next year, as it has for the last ... (when did Windows NT domains morph into AD? What a bloody nonsense)
What was the layout of the ZFS pools? I've been using RAIDZ1 and RAIDZ2 for years now on ubuntu, and luckily have not detected any errors on my monthly scrubs. I did have bitrot on older drives previously when I just relied on EXT4, only to find out when trying to access an old file.

I'm using a Supermicro board, with ECC RAM, but anywhere from 4 to 6 drives in the pool (upgraded over 6 or 7 years now).

.NET Core is still absolutely designed to nudge you into the MS stack.

- EFCore is MSSQL first, even if other options are provided

- Many libraries ship with two implementations: an over-engineered Windowsy version that barely works (with a big scary warning that it should never be used in production), and a thin wrapper around some Azure service

- Important tooling like the debugger (which wouldn't be so necessary if .NET had halfway decent support for printf debugging, but here we are...) is locked to be compatible with VS and (MS' build of) VSCode, despite both of them using supposedly open (and Microsoft-pushed!) standards like DAP

- The community is really culty, the response to "X is broken when using the non-MS-Stack alternative" always seems to be "well use the standard MS solution then"

- It's practically open source in name only, because the build engineering is so convoluted that it's nearly impossible to find the canonical source code of core features like the standard libraries
Isn’t that due to citizens not caring enough to spend $1-5 each hiring their own lobbyists?

Please don't use this project as it makes no attempt to avoid the database file from being directly downloaded. Any sane PHP project (of witch WP is not one of) has it's index.php (and any user-facing stuff) inside a 'public/' folder, never exposing the entire project and relying on the webserver to secure things with .htaccess rules.
Oh BTW, if you do this, there is one nasty Safari bug I ran into which needed a simple workaround. If you have many copies of a particular component on a page, and that web component uses SVG, then the elements within the SVG need to have unique IDs. This is a Safari-only bug that's related to SVG, not the web component API.

For example, say you use a svg button component several times on a page, and there's a filter in the SVG that you use to change the appearance of the button when it's disabled. If the filter tag doesn't have a unique ID, and one of the buttons is disabled while all the other buttons are enabled, then all the buttons will become disabled if you modify just one of them, because they're all referencing the same filter.

It's very easy to make the IDs unique by using a sequence number (as a member of the component class), incrementing the sequence number in the component constructor, and appending that sequence number to the ID every time you call the template function.

After I fixed this problem in my code, I found out that the css-tricks guy had also run into it and he did a whole write-up about it, but he was using React not Web Components: https://css-tricks.com/heres-how-i-solved-a-weird-bug-using-...
You have not had well cooked octopus unfortunately. And as for other fantastic Portuguese dishes, caldo verde, grilled sardines, chicken piri-piri, are all quite good.

Tell HN: Discord explicitly allows ban evasion
I saw one user get banned from the site for violating TOS (hateful content) and he created a new account right away with the same name and said so. I reported this and got the response:

Hello,

Thanks for writing in. Discord investigates and takes action on accounts which are in violation of our Terms of Service. However, we generally believe in targeting rule-breaking behavior instead of targeting an individual, in most cases.

If the user is continuing to violate Discord’s Terms of Service on their new account, we’ll need you to provide the message links of the violating content for us to investigate the situation. Alternately, if you feel that the past violation was so egregious that the user should not be allowed back on Discord under any circumstances, please let us know and provide any additional context about the situation, and we will investigate further.

Sincerely,

Discord Trust & Safety

So they don't just turn a blind eye to ban evasion, but it is their policy to let TOS violating users create new accounts without consequence.
Exactly. Is there any benefit running mysql instead of sqlite for Wordpress? Feels like default db should have been sqlite all along.
> the right solution is to deploy separate WiFi infra (sans any dhcp/routing/firewall/etc) hanging off the FreeBSD-powered LAN

Just came to say, this is exactly what I do. Firewall/router/dhcp/etc is FreeBSD and it’s great, but for wifi I use purpose built commercial grade hardware at home (Aruba personally, but honestly Ubiquiti, Meraki, Ruckus, etc would all be comparable).

> as I always say 'tragedy of the commons is our Great Filter'. it requires a massive unified effort by everybody to reduce fossil consumption. aint gonna happen

It’s already happening, but it’s occurring too slow. There were efforts by smaller groups to convert the US to renewable energy since the 1970s. Around that time, there was even an effort by the US government to address it, and the US Naval Observatory famously published a book series detailing different technologies, such as wave power.

Simultaneously, this is also when the oil companies first started funding so-called “think tanks”, which were lobbying fronts to stop climate regulation. They were tasked with infiltrating the universities, the media, and finally the government, where they helped draft policies to stop climate change legislation. This is all academic and many books have been written about these efforts.

> imo its much easier politically to remove CO2 or geoengineer planet when shtf

I’ve been following the geoengineering debate since the early 1990s, when there were only a few people talking about it.

There are no working scientists that I know of that think this will solve the problem in time, with the major issue being the interregnum between the time the new technology goes online and the time it takes for the climate to stabilize. People generally get upset when I tell them this, but it is widely believed that this time period will take at least a /century/, which means in many cases, people will either have to move into shelters or even underground, work only at night, or migrate by the hundreds of millions to safer areas, depopulating entire areas of the world to survive.

This is the known reality, and most people refuse to confront it head on. In other words, no matter what technological magic you work, it will take 100 years to see the result, during which time humanity will face a bottleneck event. When these facts have been brought to the attention of leaders, time and time again, the people presenting them have been dismissed as alarmists and sent packing. This is not the way to prepare for the future.
It can be, and is - but generally consider trade secrets and not disclosed.
How popular is Ruby these days?

In contrast to your anecdote, I have never had issues with Google docs. It has always just worked, reasonably clean interface. I'm not sure what elaborate styling you need, but it seems serviceable for when you need a basic document which I imagine is most peoples use case. Also the collaboration is actually very useful. The same reason I use overleaf as an interface for a lot of my LaTeX projects. I can quickly share and get updates, they just have to open their browser instead of download pdf > open it in their pdf viewer > make comments > send it back etc. The web interface is great for people that do not use git etc.
The custom domain option is only available for those who use GoDaddy as their registrar (which is not an option I'm willing to consider), plus they imply only the free domains (outlook.com, hotmail.com, msn.com, etc) get attachment screening, and email encryption.
Oh, unlike what talking heads in your TV claims, China is much more of an enemy to the "Free World" (American Empire) than Russia is...

Another way to look at it is to focus on the children. 99 children have a mother who had lots of children, and 2 children whose mother didn't. Basically, if you pick a child at random, they're more likely to come from a family with a lot of children.

A similar paradox is the friendship paradox. On average, your friends have more friends than you do.

> And as America reeled from the news, Elon Musk remained silent — despite Tesla’s sizable presence in Buffalo...

The CEO of my company does this, though he stopped recently. He'd start by addressing "tragedies" in various parts of the US, but I realized over time they were only certain tragedies.

After seeing the absolute circus of comments that many from the C-Suite generated over the last 5-7 years not hearing from a CEO about things outside of business would be a god send.
Perhaps you're getting hung up over physical bank notes. If most people and companies hold most of their money as numbers in bank accounts and do most of their buying and selling by moving numbers between bank accounts, why is it only cash that matters?

The money is the numbers the banks report to you. Multiplying those numbers is inflating the money supply. Yes they might be required to hold some other assets than simply numbers in their databases to start the whole process, but they can still multiply money to some degree.

Man that's fascinating: I just found a digital amplifier board that does 50W-50W 2.0 channel output with coaxial digital input, perfect for what I'm after, for like $70 lol.

I wonder what it sounds like. I might buy one just to find out.
This really isn't a very surprising outcome -- and not just because there was a similar ruling on the other "diverse boards" law.

U.S. const. amend. XIV:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

C.A. const. article I §7(b):
A citizen or class of citizens may not be granted privileges or immunities not granted on the same terms to all citizens. Privileges or immunities granted by the Legislature may be altered or revoked.

C.A. const. article I §31(a):
The State shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.

Reading through the verdict and the references to testimony and other evidence submitted, that this law was discriminatory in nature was barely at issue. The was as close to an open-and-shut anti-discrimination case as you're likely to find.

In particular, the California constitution explicitly states something that is only implied at the federal level which all but guarantees this outcome in anything remotely resembling an impartial court: It specifies explicitly not just that the State can't discriminate against, but also explicitly that the State can't grant preferential treatment to any group on the basis of [the protected characteristics which include sex].

This law explicitly is about granting preferential treatment (in this case, dedicated board seats at every public company) to a group (women) on the basis of sex.
>I come to HN because I want to be surprised and because I know we're all experiencing the same content.

That's great for you... many people don't share your view though. Why do you want to force them to share your views. Why not let people interact with HN how they want to? If you're not interested in debugging C compilers why should you be forced to read those posts?

>HN works, imo, because we're all sharing the space together.

This is an illusion. At least 80% of people here skip 80% of the posts.
The only problem with this setup is that you will probably fall asleep more often than not when trying to work... and if you manage to get used to it you will train your brain that "lying down is for work, not for sleep" which is not good either.

Hell, our toddler has a name but we still mostly call him kiddo.
Thank you. 1. I had ~15 years' therapy with multiple approaches & therapists w/out success. 2. I used to happily try any sleep medication but none works for more than a week or so, and now I take the same attitude as you. 3. I do get up and do something else when not sleeping, but lately the sleep has been so ratched I'm not as successful.

Have also tried things like yoga, meditation, melatonin, milk before bed, waking at a fixed hour, eating early, eating late, not eating at all, high complex carb diet, paleo diet, exercising early in the day, exercising late in the day, not exercising, and others.

Very grateful for the advice, though. I am very very open to it and am grateful for your caring.

Why does it see so hard for FOSS to design a good looking UI. I honestly struggle visually with distinguishing what all those symbols mean. I don't use inkscape enough to memorise keyboard shortcuts.

Discord is different from other social media sites in that you, the server owner, must also be the moderator. You may ban or re-ban a user, but what I see Discord saying here is that it's not going to get them a platform ban. The platform isn't public. Only your server users saw that content and only if you didn't take it down.
Sandstorm.io tries to make collaborative web apps work easily with sharing for non-technical users, though we haven't solved getting people a server easily, or more crucially, convincing people to buy a server to do things they can do for free with ads.

Unfortunately, the problem is companies powered by ad revenue have a lot more money to throw at usability than FOSS folks do.

Under normal conditions I would say you were right. There usually isn’t a need for a random CEO to comment on this stuff.

But Twitter was specifically used to spread some of the images/videos(?). So I can see why someone might want to ask them.

Furthermore, Elon has been talking a lot about how he would change the way Twitter is moderated. I think that also makes it a fair question.

So if Twitter was directly involved and Elon wants to change the Twitter policies I think it is 100% fair to ask him what would happen and expect an answer. He hasn’t been shy up to this point. Why start now.
Show HN: Open-Source Dora and Space Metrics for GitHub, Gitlab and Jira
Sounds like there's a need for:

1. A generic CRDT library, preferably in C or something that exposes a C interface. This is probably very hard or even impossible, depending on how much must be abstracted and how much work the developer must do to express edits in terms of the CRDT.

2. A P2P backend for said library for streaming edits.

3. A networked data store, maybe as-a-service, for versioning and persistence.

2 and 3 might even be made transparent to non-CRDT-aware applications through FUSE, but that's not a hard requirement.
