The author's implicit complaint seems to be that the face of disability advocacy is decreasingly the poor, helpless wretch who cannot care for themself, cannot live independently, cannot communicate with others, must be advocated for because they themself cannot advocate on their own, cannot really be helped much at all, and thus can only be pitied from a distance; and increasingly independent and semi-independent people who can care for themself fully or partially, are fully capable of communicating and advocating for themself, can tell when they're being condescended to, don't like it, and can tell you about it, and who can be helped with some understanding on the part of others and with accommodations like breaks, alternate schedules, clearer language, accessibility features, and other possibly-inconvenient-but-ultimately-reasonable requests.

> How do you keep the schizophrenic and the schizoaffective and the bipolar and the borderline and the violent and the self-harming and the catatonic and the permanently deluded at the forefront of the culture?

He wants this to be the face of the culture, the only face. Denying that anyone who can go to a college ought to be considered by anyone at all.

I think the last point in my comparison is the most pertinent. The helpless wretch cannot be helped; they can be pitied, or locked up for their own safety, or their caretakers can be supported, but you don't really have to do anything for them. The less-disabled, they can ask you to do things that you can't reasonably deny. They can ask you to fix your website's screenreader support, and you can't just tell them you won't without looking rude. They can ask for lighter workload, and it likely wouldn't cause as many problems as bosses insist it would. They can ask you for a break, and depending on the setting, you may owe it to them. And they can tell you that it's horrifically offensive to assume that just because they have a disability that they're too stupid to make decisions for themself.

It sure was easier when this movement was represented by people who could never possibly ask you to do anything, or who you could easily ignore if they did, wasn't it?
Honestly I'd take that as dodging a bullet, and so appreciate the honesty - if they have sufficient concerns about present market behavior impacting their ability to retain staff or even continue as a going concern to be stopping recruitment, then you'd be risking turning down other opportunities for a job that may literally disappear in just a few months.

OTOH, if they're still around and hiring again a few months later then I'd take that a sign that they are running themselves well, and have a good grasp on their stability, and would consider applying again then.

Every article I read about this says something like "Unlike tether, UST wasn’t backed by fiat currency held in a reserve".

Which assumes tether is actually backed by enough real value to cover its calls in the case of a selloff, which it absolutely is not.

If I had any money in crypto (I don't), I would get the hell out of tether ASAP.
Yeah. Video, even old grainy VHS, had a pretty high bandwidth. Even much more so with S-VHS, which did not become super popular though. (I'm actually wondering whether the 2GB figure was for S-VHS, not VHS. Didn't to the math and wouldn't be surprised either way, though.)

Stand close to railroad tracks when a train goes by. You'll feel the ground sink and spring back.

At the right speed and springiness of the track, the train can create a standing wave in front that builds (like a resonant frequency does) until the track comes apart.
> I found this interesting insofar as it is somewhat rare for endpoint CPEs to have these features baked in, in particular with any sort of CALEA semantics.

This isn't targeting CPE equipment - MicroTik is baking into their unified OS. If you're a service provider you don't configure CALEA in the CPE, you configure it upstream in the headend where all traffic from your customers egress your network. It's much easier to grab it all at the bottleneck than to have data streaming over your expensive last mile twice for each customer, that doesn't make any network architecture or OpEx sense. It's just easier to make CALEA a function of RouterOS vs target specific models. There's nothing specific about the hardware that's required to implement the functionality.
I get what the author is trying to do here and it's clever, but for me it kind of underlines that the developer experience would be much nicer if you build a 'native' gtk4 application. Web apps are hard work!

I think it's worth distinguishing between "they say it's not backed and it's definitely not backed" vs. "they say it's backed but it's probably not". These are different problems.

I would hope you also add that the lawyer isn't serving too many clients to your definition of adequate.
The issue isn't that they're Turing complete or not, but that people are hacking programming language features on top of YAML in the worst conceivable way. Like if you were regular sadistic, you would say "I'm not going to write Python, I'm going to write Python's AST in YAML", but if you're advanced sadistic you say "I'm not going to write Python's AST in YAML, I'm going to make up an AST for a programming language that doesn't exist with bizarre and inconsistent semantics in YAML (YAML has lists, but I'm going to make people pass lists as comma-delineated strings--it'll be a riot)".
It’s irrelevant how long it took to accumulate. If you’re hypothetically redistributing wealth, then the hypothetical side assumption should be that it took the same amount of time to accumulate the “redistributed” wealth. You should be comparing saved wealth in the real world to saved wealth in the hypothetical world, not using a strange misleading wealth per year metric.
It does not delete the whole cache on a timer. It will delete blocks that are not pinned periodically or when it reaches a high-water mark. It does not store each object 2 or 3 times. First, it doesn't refer to anything as an object but rather blocks and a block is only stored once. It will only be replicated if you're running a cluster in which case replication is the point.

From my experiments, the LD one doesn't seem to have been trained on as big or as tagged data set - there's a whole bunch of "in the style of X" that the VQGAN knows* about but the LD doesn't. That might have something to do with it.
Would storing data as a 15 or 30 FPS QR code "video" be any more useful? At a minimum one would gain a configurable amount of error correction, and you could display it in the corner.

> Your hands were designed for throwing a stone at the eye of a mammoth.

No, they weren't designed at all.

And utility in fine as well as gross manipulation of the type you describe is clearly part of what they were selected (not designed) for.

> But you can play the violin with them

Violins, unlike human hands, were designed, and specifically for people with human hands to use. They aren't just something existing outside of humans in nature that hands happen to work with.

So, it's not at all surprising that they can be used with human hands.
I believe that, for whatever reason, "How" is automatically removed from the beginning of submitted titles.
It is not, unfortunately. It's missing plenty of proprietary middleware etc that you need to run it on Nokia phones.

IIRC you are supposedly able to build and run this source dump on some BeagleBoard.

I was there, coding multimedia stuff for the last generation of Symbian smartphones. I remember this dump was originally released on Gitorious (later acquired by GitLab) some 10++ years ago.

Fun fact: the source was originally supposed to be licensed under a different roll-your-own open source license (I think it was named "Symbian Foundation License" or something like that) but Nokia switched to Eclipse Public License 1.0 before the public release.
I can't tell you about the specifics in this case, but if you want the general framework to understand economic concentration and the relationship between major groups and the independent scene in media / entertainment, read The Master Switch by Tim Yu.

Video games so far fit perfectly the evolution that radio, movies, TV — a couple cycle thereof — especially as they became commoditized (most notably in mobile form) alongside other forms of digital entertainment (music, video streaming, etc).
Street view is an amazing product on its own.
I've seen it used in all manner of instances from facility managers counting windows in order to write bids to sightseeing by people going on vacation to people checking where they need to go.

Come to think of it, i've seen more professionals use it than anything else. The ability to go somewhere, without actually going there and actually see it is truly a asset.
Back in the 90’s I considered storing my backups as encrypted stenographied or binary Usenet postings, as a kind of decentralized backup, postings which would stick around long enough for the next weekly backup. (Usenet providers had at least a couple of weeks of retention time back then.)
Yeah, I haven't even read it, but the title editing is wrong. If there's not enough space for "How" then better to remove "coronavirus" instead to avoid changing the meaning. Or change "compares with flu" to "compared to flu"
I love that this is like tape in that it's a sequential access medium. It's storing a tape-like data stream in a digital version of what used to be tape itself (VHS).

WebAuthn, and Only WebAuthn
It's a mixed bag. From what I've seen its 50/50. Sometimes Terraform providers are way behind, and sometimes they are ahead. Additionally, the low level providers which are easiest to keep up to date don't really abstract much. It is mostly a one to one API mapping, so it doesn't make the AWS experience any "easier".

I'm specifically speaking about tooling that attempts to abstract and simplify the AWS experience. This is where the trickiest decisions have to be made about which properties and options to surface, how to surface them if so, and which ones should just be left out and require the user to drop down a level to the lower level provider as a fallback.

Yes, the ROI takes years to achieve but the alternative is to keep throwing money at the power company (and some of that energy will likely be from coal nowadays).

Since I bought an electric car I've been drooling over the idea of having the car powered by the sun. I go into the office only on occasion so I don't need to charge fast either. But you need an available roof and an okay topography.

But in Scandinavia, I bet most energy goes to heating so improving insulation and adding ground thermal will probably be more efficient. The idea of a sun powered car is just so enticing, however. It's kinda sci-fi.
It's sad that Gitter didn't gain the traction in tech communities that it should have. It's already searchable (and you land on the conversation directly, not a cloned website), clutter-free and supported markdown before the others. But many communities simply chose to walk into closed spaces, now these workarounds are being built.
Considering this is a well-known, well-advertised feature from many many many years ago, and has long been the way they do things, it's not going to suddenly change because you think more people should be tracked by default.

I don't think you can do that on most boards. The switches and stabilizers are very different between layouts. I can't imagine how would that work outside of re-soldering some switches and reassembling the board, if the PCB allows.
Ask HN: Is patent infringement insurance a good idea?
I'm wondering if preemptive protection against software patent claims is warranted in 2022. It seems like almost anything you could build now would in theory violate some existing patent.

I'd also like to know about how vigorously major tech companies are enforcing their patents, since they're almost all hoarding quite a few of them. You occasionally hear about some aggressive companies like Sonos, for example, but I'm sure there are many more stories that don't percolate up to the mainstream. Is the only thing protecting startups the goodwill of the behemoths and low visibility? Are there tech startups that end up being destroyed by licensing costs and legal fees related to patent claims?

What are the best strategies for successfully defending against this problem? For example, would it be advisable to search for relevant patents and attempt to license them before working on a project? Should you always simply give up on a project that has patent exposure?
This is a common misperception of IPFS. IPFS does not push any content onto your node or force you to host random content. It will only host content you have added or requested to be added to your node.

Because new technology is as Thiel often quips limited to the world of bits rather than the world of atoms. Paul Krugman once asked, if you go into an average house right now and you take out all the screens, could you tell that you're not in the 80s?

Gordon in the Rise and Fall of American Growth gives a similar example, what if you went into a time capsule between say 1890 and 1950 compared to 1960 and 2010? In one case you're going to see skyscrapers, commercial airplanes, nuclear power plants, electricity everywhere, cars going at amazing speeds. In the latter case what's the difference, people paying with their phones and different fashion mostly.

'Innovation' in the internet age, say the last 30 years has mostly been limited to enable hedonistic digital consumption with very little impact on how we fundamentally move through the world. The difference between a car right now and a car 30 years ago is that you can now play angry birds on a tablet. A 100 years ago to 50 years ago meant going from horse carriages to trains and from weeks on a ship to hours on a plane. Today the average person crosses the Atlantic no faster than we did decades ago.

That's why productivity growth is low, the world hasn't changed that much. There's still marginal improvements obviously which do add up over time but the 'unprecedent pace of innovation' you hear about from tech evangelists is nowhere.

Another interesting thought experiment is, how many digital services, modern tech and so on would you be willing to trade for something mundane, say your dishwasher, a hot shower, the toilet, a car, soap, if you could only have one or the other? I think it really puts into perspective how much or rather little value those 'innovations' add.

I fiddled around with these two games for years mod and reverse engineering wise, otherwise I wouldn't remember it all either! And of course I played them both many times.

I played this game first as a kid, and it really left an impression on me. And yes, the game world is just so real, it all kinda makes sense. The forest has a really dark atmosphere, they did a funny trick there, they hardcoded it that your character state goes into threat mode, so the music changes to the threat version.

I have to be honest, it kind of ruined RPGs for me long term, since none of them really ever held up to the standards Gothic set that early. Too bad PiranhaBytes also never truly recaptured what they had.

And yeah coop would have been fun. Final game still links to wsocks, because they had it internally at some point, and some Net classes even remain too, but it's all unuseable. There are multiplayer servers though for actual roleplaying, but the multiplayer part is written outside afaik.
On rebooting: the unreasonable effectiveness of turning computers off and on
I learned about Latex in physics 2 in college and started taking my notes that way in class. I could quickly make quick notes for anything that would take me too long to input and then I'd go back and actually review my notes to fill in what I hadn't formatted yet. I think it helped a lot because I actually reviewed my notes after class. I had a discrete math professor that offered extra points if you did your homework in Latex. I have shitty handwriting so I was already doing my homework on the computer anyway so it was easy credit. I got to be the favorite in my intro to astrophysics class because I turned in my papers in Latex, professor went out of his way to find me after class and complimented me. Haven't touched it in years since college.

> If the parents were doing their job (ie not allowing devices to babysit their kids, limiting time on devices, interacting with their children, showing their children through example that they should not spend every minute on devices, spending time doing things outside, playing NON-digital games/activities with their kids) their kids would not have such a problem with social media.

I don't totally disagree, but I'd only point out that you could apply identical reasoning to not criminalize the selling of drugs to children. I mean if the parents were doing their job, the laws wouldn't need to be there right?
Correct. I thought it was worth to mention OpenSSL 3.0 because this is now the “stable” release.

I don't think you understand. "Get out the vote" hasn't been fair and balanced for 20+ years.

Words have been shifted to trick you into thinking that "get out the vote" is "get out the vote". It isn't.

Get out the vote TODAY means charities violating their charitable exemptions (aka, the law) to campaign in a partisan way.

They claim that they don't pick and choose where to spend the money based on voting record, but everyone including yourself knows that isn't true.

The trick is to simply never say it out loud, put it in writing, or explain why the decisions were made the way they were made. Otherwise, jail time, loss of tax exempt status, etc.

Statistically, almost all the Zuck Bucks went to A) key states that needed swinging B) Counties in states that need swinging that are massively Democrat slanted.

Forget about them worrying about getting votes for Republicans, they don't even do 55-45 for D races, because it takes ten ballots to make one ballots difference.

They are "ghetto bashing" (a colloquiul term used in sales) to target areas that have the highest rate of return. 85-15, 70-30.

That way 10 ballots swing the race by 7 or 4 votes.

You can simply look at where the money goes, and it is impossible to conclude anything else.

How many D votes does $400,000,000 buy if it costs $50 per vote?

A: depends on the areas hit!

If it's a 50-50 state (and they all are where the money went), then the money should make no difference!

But onto the math, if $50 (random out my butt number) "gets out a vote", then thats 8 million votes.

If the targeted areas for get out the vote are 50-50, you buy 0 votes.

If the targeted area is 55-45, you buy 800,000 votes.

If the target area is 70-30, you buy 3.2 million votes.

If the target area is 80-20, you buy 4.8 million votes.

Mark Zuckerberg bought the 2024 election in 5 swing states.

There is no mental gymnastics to get around this, the voting record of the places he put money was known, and he got what he paid for.
One thing I don't see mentioned often is that productivity in software development has skyrocketed, but it's hard to appreciate. Today's services are much more sophisticated and complex than just a decade ago. Even if some of that complexity is incidental and undesirable, it's undeniable that today a small team can pump out a much more refined app that entire companies did back then.

This isn't only guess work, here is a real example: when I joined my first shop we had 2 sysadmin working full time to maintain a couple dozen servers. Over time they started introducing virtualization, automation, devops... by the end of my 7 year tenure, we had 250+ servers and only one sysadmin part time working on them. That's between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude improvement, and my company wasn't special by any means.
