Broadly speaking, I believe this has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, especially for user-facing apps. Yes, some requirements change because they genuinely have to—but many change because there's a business incentive to make use of all those programmers on your payroll.

In this case, I'm perfectly confident that Scapple will be updated to e.g. stay compatible with macOS. But, they aren't going to turn it into something it's not. Scapple knows what it's for and it does it well.
He said DeFi, and buying at a specific price is how a lot of presales work there.
Of course, that surge procing would never be bidirectional, paying the end user when power is tapped into to go somewhere else, just to line the pockets of the utilities.

Then there is the abuse potential. Because essentially you can now selectively increase electrical load on a particular vehicle with any type of on road charging or energy discharge infrastructure.

But no... Authoritarians don't exist. No one would ever abuse wide-scale networked infrastructure to make their own lives easier!
I was under the impression Tesla didn’t sell the CCS adapter in the US yet. Did that change?
Gargantuan win for Ohio. The plant itself is amazing but the support/supplier industry it brings will be tremendous.

Honda has had two manufacturing plants in central Ohio for decades and 3-4 times as many people employed by the suppliers that popped up in the state than there are direct employees. Obviously the support/supply chain for Intel will be vastly different and won't be moving as much mass but it may make up for it in avg skillset and commensurate salary.
The Russians don't have the money to outdo the west, they will fold, no matter what their propaganda department convinces some people to buy. While Putin has a pretty strong grip on the country it's not as profound as the one Stalin had, and it will fail eventually. He will be assassinated or a coup will happen if he doesn't relent in the next year or so.
Looks like fruit leather, which would probably work as well... however, it's unlikely this would be optimal for a non-dry burrito.
"For a black man, to assert your dignity before the police was to risk assault. In fact, the dignity of black people meant less to them, which was why I always felt safer being stopped in front of white witnesses than black witnesses. The cops had less regard for the witness and entreaties of black onlookers, whereas the concern of white witnesses usually registered on them. A black witness asking a question or politely raising an objection could quickly become a fellow detainee. Deference to the police, then, was sine qua non for a safe encounter."
He presents a really narrow view of success. It makes me sad that his viewpoint includes nothing about helping other people or making improvements bigger than the individual and their bank account.
Ah, yes I agree, based on how they've designed the site it definitely seems you can order individual parts!
Why America’s clean-energy industry is stuck
I'm also curious why there arne't more expiramental key layouts, for example having programming related keys like "()~!" on the number keys is kind of annoying, would love a redesign where they are on the left instead of say caps lock or a longer shift key.
Why Are We Scared of Public Speaking? (2017)
Most of the time, if I read the article first, I never read the comments. If there are many comments, I read them to get an idea of whether the article is worth reading.
The MH17 Criminal Files
It sounds like I've missed some backstory. I gather people have issues with Pop!_OS 22.04's audio subsystem?

From my perspective, 22.04 is no better or worse than previous releases.
I've always had Bluetooth audio issues with Linux. And I'm usually outputting audio to the laptop speakers or to HDMI, which have worked just fine.
I'd say there are tons of weird semi-medical things that people have that are basically benign that they just live with. I've had bouts with tinnitus; I went to the gun range with my cousin who I've known my whole life and mentioned the importance of hearing protection and to try and keep my tinnitus minimized. He mentioned he has the same issue.

I also had what has been called "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome" as a child where I had strange sensations of my body feeling larger or smaller when going to sleep. I never thought much of it, but eventually I heard that it happens to other people too.
It's amazing what a big impact Davis has had on our modern food. Wine too.

Yes, could use different tags for literal display and rendering eg ```tex and ```eq.
Yeah interesting. Maybe the 30M figure comes from 6502 shipments. I don't have the tab up anymore that was claiming 30M+ shipments.

Here's an interesting discussion link. Merely being on wikipedia doesn't mean its correct that site is a hive of disinfo in general:

https://www.pagetable.com/?p=547

This site even mentions the peculiar 30M figure.

I would tend to believe the linked site's serial number analysis result of exactly 12.5M. The americans did something like that to the germans in WWII, it turns out a remarkably small totally random sample of sequentially assigned serial numbers is enough to very accurately predict the highest number sold. Assuming very random sampling, which is never truly random, of course.

Doesn't change the overall outcome, however, when there's a stat that a small segment of an industry is "about" the size of what's claimed to be the entire industry, something's off in the numbers.

A mere 12.5M sold remains 5% of the entire USA population at that time, and honestly, having been there, almost everyone I knew had a PC clone or some apple product, usually a mac. The number must be larger than 10%. "a computer" was required at college ... ed.gov claims there are 19.4 M college students in the USA right now and google claims 332M people in the USA right now, so about 6% of the population are in college right now, so back in 1990 guess "around" 6% of the population was required to own a computer just to attend higher ed ... the claimed 10% seems like an incredibly low number.
"Crimean Tartar community members were kidnapped, arrested, disappeared, deported or killed before, during and after the referendum"

Even if this is true[1] I do not see how this would alert the result of the referendum, given the amount of people who voted in support of joining Russia.

[1] this article is the first time that I saw such a claim. I might search about it later.

"and that the very question posed in the referendum was completely biased"

The question as posted in Wikipedia seems reasonable to me.

"Your statement seems to imply that Ukraine is not a sovereign country, otherwise it pains me to understand how it could be 'separatist'. Care to elaborate?"

I mean regarding the currently occupied territories/after a future annexation of Ukraine.

"do speak of 'elimination'"

Sure, of the ideas of "sovereignty, nationhood, and nationality", not of the people themselves.

"Since the elimination of a nationality and its culture is what's known as committing a genocide"

I (and as I perceive it, the majority of the people) do not personally consider the elimination of the idea of a nationality as genocide. I could perhaps be willing to entertain the idea of a cultural genocide (it is however questionable that this is what is planned for the Ukrainians) but I would not equate it to an actual genocide.

"are you saying that Spain is committing a genocide in Catalonia?"

I have seen some arguing it, but it is not something that I personally believe.
I view this differently. This article is documenting a process people are surely curious about. But the costly deposit and multiple heavy pelican cases of supplies show just how deep the hole Apple has dug for themselves really is. Apple is so anti-repair they have no provisions for a reasonable at home process. You must realize that a $1200 deposit alone means this process is out of reach of many people.

Meanwhile I recently pulled all my old smartphones from a storage bin and the rear cover pops right off, revealing a battery which comes out with no effort. There’s even an affordance for your finger nail to catch the edge of the rectangular cell. Obviously newer phones are waterproof and arguably more durable, but Apple has gone so far towards a factory sealed design as to require absurd equipment to do a proper job.

What this all makes me wonder is: what would this all be like if Apple had never dismissed user replaceable batteries? If they had just as many years of engineering behind a removable back cover as they do with high resolution screens and custom processors? How many billions have they spent on this and that improvement, and what would the phone look like today if some of that had gone to making a phone not destined for the landfill?

To me, the size and cost of their DIY repair kit is a monument to how far from repair Apple has strayed. Fortunately I suspect that if they stick with user serviceable batteries, the process will be a whole lot simpler once they’ve really put some engineering effort in to it.
How do you isolate and identify the different causes? I think I have all three of these at times, and I suspect neck muscles because cervical traction seems to help sometimes. But it’s really hard to pin anything down concretely, tinnitus seems so evasive. Sometimes I can’t even match tones I can hear loud and clear when using a tone generator.
Yep, I used to be a manual fanatic, but I realized it's only 'fun' when the engine is slightly underpowered. On a typical modern car sold in USA you'd practically have to take it to a racetrack.
As a sidenote: this holds true for other types of arbitrary-interview-riddles. There's only 3-5 "frameworks" you need to memorize/apply for consulting case interviews. Finance probability problems typically test one of ~a dozen prob/stat formulae + ability to multiply 3-digit numbers in your head.

After all, it has to be manageable for the interviewers to make sure all the questions are roughly equivalent in difficulty.
Ah nice. Not gonna lie, Arch isn't really on my radar. I just know Wayland/Pipewire (among other things) were developed by Red Hat employees.
Finally! I was looking for something like this for a long time. The closest is MeshCentral but it seems to expect the target computers to stay in the web panel, I needed something like this for quick remote assistance, not having to keep everyone's computer in a list. Looking forward to try this in the near future
What Happened to Tagging? (2019)
That's a good point. Those following from a crypto disaster journalism vantage point will view this story as "yes, and water has been know to be wet on occasion, and the sun to come up on quite possibly every day."

But if your exposure is more from following tradition financi news, you may have seen some of the disasters and certainly volatility but otherwise may seem like a gradually emerging but not quite mature new asset class.
As far as I can tell, there's only one listed by a reviewer on the archive.org page, not by the original uploader

MongoDB CTO: Why On-Prem Software Is Still Big Business
The issue with right to repair isn’t that phones are too hard to repair due to being thin/waterproof/etc. It’s that Apple’s business decisions and contracts with suppliers are designed to monopolize the repair process, so that third party repair shops can’t fix peoples’ phones without resorting to extreme measures (like buying blackmarket parts that were likely stolen from Apple factories by rogue employees).

This repair program is trying really hard to frame it as: “look how risky and complicated it is to fix your own phone! Nobody actually wants to do this!”. Drawing attention away from the obvious alternative where people send their phone to an independent repair shop rather than do the repair themselves (and benefit from competitive pricing rather than Apple exorbitant ones)

As an example, you can’t buy a replacement screen from this program unless you provide a valid IMEI. This means that a repair shop can’t possibly offer same day repairs since they can’t keep any screen in stock.
Edible adhesives have been around forever. Another case of poor quality "science" journalism just reprinting press releases without any kind of independent validation or context.
I've been using the same xp vm about 8 years and I love it. 2 secs to boot and blazing fast. Only occasionally do I need win 7 or rarely 8. Not that I use windows much. I'll never use 10+, never ever.
I don't have an official diagnosis, but I did see an optometrist because I was afraid I was going blind who said "I know exactly what you're describing." I then saw my GP who ordered an MRI to make sure it wasn't MS.

The MRI found absolutely nothing. My eye doctor says my eyes are extremely healthy.

My symptoms line up exactly with VSS and I had a lot of peace of mind knowing what I was experiencing and that I wasn't going blind, so I didn't pursue the proper further test (PET scan, I think).

Honestly, the peace of mind was worth it, but be armed with research on it.
Great news! Had some problems with my Jabra USB sound card for wireless headphones until I switched over to pipewire. Also helped latency issues in OBS studio with my USB mic.
TBF the pocket datacenter does way more than a vintage does though. However I do agree there is an inflation of customer expectation since the 90s.

Just imagine: assuming tech evolves a lot slower. What would happen? People would still be OK, games would still be fun, business would carry on regardless.
Modern smartphones have a lot of constraints to deal with and still meet consumer demand. People want large displays, all day battery life, no slow downs, fast wireless, and the phone needs to fit in a normal pocket. Oh and the phone should be durable against drops and immersion in water.

A large display, fast processor/GPU, and wireless are all battery hungry components. These require a large battery to not only supply enough amperage but have enough capacity to last more than a few minutes. Batteries heat up when charging and when discharging. Things that heat up need to expand. The electronic components also heat up with usage further complicating the thermals. Vents and fans are untenable in something held in one hand or put in a pocket. The total envelope of the phone is constrained by human hands and pockets.

The modern "sealed" smartphone design exists because it satisfies those constraints. Non-removable batteries can have much thinner outer packaging than removable ones. They don't need to resist drops and punctures and still get underwriting certification. Glued components don't tend to wiggle themselves loose after years of thermal exercise. Glue with more seamless casings increase water resistance and overall durability. Glue also allows for smaller contact surfaces than are possible with screws giving more volume to internal components.

A phone that is easy to disassemble will be much less durable than one that's sealed. In the common case where internal access is never required, the durable phone will be superior to the easy to disassemble one. User serviceable batteries need thicker more durable envelopes which means lower power density than fixed batteries.

Most consumers do not want the easily repaired phone. It's going to require a lot of performance and ergonomic trade offs over the sealed flagship phones. Even if people went for repairable phones en masse it's not like they would stay out of landfills.

Even if screws over glue halved the effort to replace a broken screen the component cost wouldn't change. So a repair might be a few tens percent cheaper to perform. Even passing the savings on to a customer, it's still likely someone with a broken screen or whatever phone-ending damage would just buy a new phone.
The most likely to happen, is AWS opening a new region on the Moon, quickly followed by Azure. Google will open one and close it after 5 years.:-)
Bold claim but i don't think there are enough budding coops to even bother with such behaviour.

Regulatory capture hurts all new startups and is unlikely to be aimed specifically at coops
Maybe if the information didn't get out but given that a lot of it happens on-chain you get articles like this so more of them start suspecting that's the reason for their poor returns.
That website is so bad, it misses all the important stuff.
Any laptop from the last few years is easily fast enough for almost all developers. You don't need to tell developers that they can run multiple applications in parallel with 16GB of RAM. All this text about Popos could have been shortened to "100% linux compatible, no windows tax included".

What really matters for a dev laptop:

- keyboard: standard layout, great feel (like thinkpads 15 years ago; the keyboards have been gotten worse and worse since then)

- screen: resolution (personally I would like more than FHD), aspect ratio, viewing angles, reflectivity, color reproduction

- noise: is the machine completely silent in idle? Is it whisper quiet under heavy load? Does the fan remain off during short (<30s) load spikes?

- ports: How many USB? Ethernet? Thunderbolt for docking?

Also much more interesting than CPU/RAM:

- is the RAM user replacable?

- is the SSD user replacable? Can a second SSD be added?

- battery runtime?
I know this article is supposed to be some weird dunk on Texas' power grid, but what is wrong with demand leveling? As more car become electric this is going to become common. If you have solar panels, charge your car during the excess power times. If you are using the grid, charge when demand is low.

Texas has a lot (and has the potential for even more) wind and solar energy. Like the rest of the US grid, Texas needs to build more transmission lines to move the power from the middle of nowhere to the densely populated areas.
O-rings are the standard seal technology in waterproof watches, and also in scuba diving equipment where lives literally depend on them. They are actually extraordinarily reliable.
That's facinating, any link on the procedure name?
The US non-hispanic white population is about 60%. I'd be absolutely stunned if there was a study somewhere showing white representation in a reasonably defined advertising market under that number. Is that really a serious opinion you've formed? I have to wonder where it came from?
The link does clarify a bit about what they mean.

“the scatter of prevalence estimates is wide, although most study results have shown rates of between 10% and 15% of the adult population. The largest and most scientifically reliable study was undertaken as part of the National Study of Hearing in England (n=48 313).3 The results of the study showed a prevalence of 10·1% among adults, with the tinnitus described as moderately annoying by 2·8% of respondents, severely annoying by 1·6%, and at a level that severely affected ability to lead a normal life by 0·5%. Results from studies in Egypt,4 Japan,5 and Nigeria,6 indicate tinnitus prevalence is broadly similar in these countries to in Europe and the USA.”
Yes, there are ways to try to commercialize intimacy, but they're horrible and don't actually achieve it.

> It's a noble idea, but begs the question why a community would want to have responsibility to individuals that they may not want to have in their presence in the first place.

If you help build up the people around you into better people, and get to know them, they tend to reciprocate. It can take a very long time, not everyone reciprocates equally, they may be coming from a very different place that's hard to understand, and it can be painful. But it's intrinsically rewarding to pursue the companionship of others genuinely, as hurt as you might get doing so. What you gain when you're honest makes up for it. Trying to do so in the proper manner takes constant reevaluation and work, but we're not here to just sit in front of a computer and buy stuff, we're here to interact with those around us and try to get as close as we can to fulfillment.
I've lived in Texas my whole life and have been working a full-time remote job the last ~half decade. Between the power grid issues and horrific summer heat, I am asking myself why I am still living here. I am also wondering why people with unlimited means are coming here.

There isn't a whole lot to prevent me from leaving now... I am strongly considering moving to California or some region that approximates the weather patterns of SF. I keep asking myself if I want to live out the rest of my days in a place where the default mode of operation is "death or misery" unless you are inside some artificially-cooled arena.
I did my part and bought a manual VW. The problem was reselling it. Nobody wanted it.
> Men were much more attracted to their female friends than vice versa.

Interestingly, that goes against my experience. At university, there were a number of girls that I liked but considered way out of my class, that I later learned fancied the pants off me.

There were also girls that I knew fancied the pants off me, but I wasn't having any of it, because I thought they were clingy, or too crazy (even for me). I'm pretty sure I dodged a couple of bullets back then.
Oh like the cultivated non-vulgar Chilean accent, mild version of the accent. Dying breed.
What would be the/a consequence of CS being labelled a liberal arts degree ... ? What would be the benefit ?

There doesn't even seem to be an agreed upon definition of what liberal arts truly are in 2022 so this whole discussion seems quite pointless to me.
You absolutely do not need any special equipment to change a wheel. In fact, the only equipment you need comes with the car, a jack and a wrench, and a spare wheel (or at least they used to). Sure, you need to buy the tires, but you also need to buy the battery.
Link first, then if I have something to say about it, I check the comments to see whether it's been said already.

Sometimes I only read the comments, because the headline makes it sound like people's reactions will give me more information than the article itself: an example would be "Library X was updated". But in any case I will never comment without reading the article first, which I think is not an ahem, universal practice among all HN readers.
Large swaths, possibly even the majority of crypto/NFT trading is wash trading i.e. people selling stuff to themselves to prop up the market.
To the other posters, maybe this has merit.
When we’re talking about “right to repair,” we need to distinguish between:

a) the use of DRM to prevent repairs

b) the physical challenge of working on complex things

c) planned obsolescence via consumables

The big problem with Apple and many companies is a), and I support efforts to make that illegal.

Problem b) is unavoidable for complex things. And there are design trade-offs that deliver benefits for costs, for example thin waterproof smartphones have hard-to-replace batteries. I’m not a fan of trying to use the law to force one set of design decisions on everyone.

Problem c) is an issue for some Apple products like EarPods. But not for iPhones, as I point out above.
I visited an indoor mall recently, in an area with some of the whitest demographics in the nation, but also (since I know the stereotypes about fat Americans) the healthiest.

Almost without exception, the models depicted in the store window ads were obese women of color. Even for athletic wear.

Whatever weird fetishism the marketing world has going on now, it’s absolutely not representative relative to local demographics, nor nation-wide demographics.
