No, not "master", I don't think that would fit the "anyone but the far right" and it's perceived as a mostly US-centric issue here (we have other radioactive terms made so by local history), so mandating that probably wouldn't have helped us with a local audience anyway. The actual term wasn't English and was pejoratively descriptive of a visual characteristic associated with a certain racial background. I can't think of a similar term in English (there must be a bunch, though) but it was an obvious racial slur and really not something you'd expect anyone could seriously want to use unless on the very far right fringe or something like that.

The only people I remember with whom things like that had to be brought up were either apparently trying to use the brand for political leverage (which really isn't an option, can't do that) or had difficulty "getting" subtext and nuances in general paired with strong opinions on how they thought people parse language.

That's what I mean by "done well", only mandate what really would cause damage otherwise and be conservative about that, most people will try to minimize damage anyway and will be fine, but some people won't or can't and having that written down and declared mandatory helps clear up such situations.
> Arcelik/Beko group uses 1000LT fresh water per year. The rest is recycled in the plant. This is less than monthly consumption of a single household.

That is far less than I expected. But does it account for the water use in their supply chain? I think that should also be counted.

That said, fridges and washing machines use enormous amounts of power and water, so savings there count for a lot. Far more than in many other household appliances.
Why do you need to disassemble and unplug a pin header when you could just not tell it your AP password?

I have a good old Ableton Launchpad mk1 (These go apparently for as low as $25 on ebay/Reverb).

This gives me 8x8 + 16 buttons that I monitor via a Java app that I wrote. It works but I'd love to have a UI app for controlling it and assigning actions, similar to https://www.midi-mixer.com but for macOS - I'm too lazy to write a UI on top of my Java hack. Any recommendations for something that can consume generic MIDI events and map them to.. stuff?
You just never upgrade. Instead you toss your old app and rebuild from scratch with the new tool de jour ;)
> I’m fairly sure, at least in Europe, there will be legislation that prevents this without explicit positive content from the consumer. I suspect GDPR already covers it in fact.

I can't seem to find the relevant part of GDPR that would even attempt to cover that - beyond any tracking data sent back to the manufacturer.

yeah, last year few months were coldest in Czechia in decades, now I sent my kid to school trip wearing winter pants and winter jacket, because it's effin 2C there in morning, yesterday afternoon there were 8C, mind it's hilly over there but even in Prague yesterday afternoon it was only 16C, that's like end of winter or beginning of spring and not end of may, almost coming summer, insane cold temperatures, I wish we had global warming, because these last few years are coldest I remember in decades

Also April 2022 was in Prague 123rd warmest among last 248 years, in light of nonsense how hot are supposed to be recent years, this feels extremely cold to be getting median temperature from last qurater millennium. Btw. the hottest April was in 1800, coldest in 1839, so much for records.

I assume they are talking about the fact that the official script of china is simplified Chinese (at least, I am pretty sure it is). Though I have no idea if this would mean that all official documents are in simplified chinese in practice.
they'll probably try to get people to positively opt in to a ToS and GDPR set of terms during the online purchase process, which we know people will aggressively click "yes/i accept/agree" in order to continue, if the price, product and marketing are sufficiently compelling.
I think the official recommendation is to store a second yubikey in a safe location.

Personally I just generated my key offline (on a tails livecd) and backed it up to two different LUKS-encrypted USB sticks. One of those is stored at my place and another one at a trusted person, in case my flat burns down or so. The yubikey itself only stores subkeys, my master key stays on said USB sticks.

Been using this setup for about 5 years now and it's been working well for me so far. Once a year, I extend my gpg keys expiration time by using on of the USB sticks.
>each chemo infusion cost $65k to her insurance company. Her surgery to remove her left breast cost $165k. 5k going to the surgeon fee while the rest was a facility fee. It's been less than a year now and the insurance has paid out almost a million dollars.

Do you know that your insurance paid that, or is it what you have been quoted?

US hospitals are notorious for overcharging by factors of ~10x when looking at their charge master, but the insurance companies will get a much better price after negotiating with the hospital, which is one of the reasons why the hospitals will blow-up charges in the first place, to get paid despite the insurance companies not paying everything.

It's a broken system because you need an insurance agent as a "lawyer" to get the real rates.

Instead what is necessary is price competition and transparency. You should be able to look up online the cost of chemotherapy for a certain type of cancer in the whole US, then you can filter by distance, reviews and price. The price on the sticker has to include everything. Whether you have insurance or not should not factor into the price at all.

The free market is maybe not a solution to the social problem here, but it could at least drive down costs.
This is what NB-IOT is for, and it's already happening.
I have a washing machine with WiFi (brand Candy). Connected their Android app, everything worked fine. Tried to connect their iOS app, while connected to Android app (so two users can use it). Connecting two devices has broken WiFi so much that it is not working anymore for neither app and only available interface is very limited knob. At least.

Appliance manufacturers are worse than car OEMs in this sense. Making stuff which nobody asked for while screwing it up.

Ask HN: Why aren't emergency alerts showing on my Pixel 4a?
There has recently been severe weather in my area including tornado warnings. My phone has either been:

1. Super delayed with alerts
2. Received no alerts at all

There was a tornado warning issued this morning and my family member got the alert on their Pixel 3 but I didn't receive anything at all.

What could I do to diagnose this issue?
an "investor" cannot be suckered in because they invest money as soon as they have it and don't sell for decades. I guarantee that a purchase on Tuesday will be up by 2040.

"traders" trying to play short term trends may indeed be wrong about the near term direction of the markets.
The place I rent has a fancy button microwave installed. It's built-in and all the knobs makes it look really cool and scientific. I never use it though, because I brought my own Samsung microwave. It's got two knobs. One for the amount of time you need to fry things, and one for the power you wanna fry it on.

That's it. That's literally all you need.

The most difficult thing about it, is that it doesn't have a start button. It just starts automatically a second after you've set the timer.

This small "smart" feature is actually a problem for visitors who doesn't know the machine, because they'll try to jam in the two knobs in order to "start" the thing. But otherwise I love it, and I use it all the time over the fancy schmansy pre-installed one. Because when I use the fancy one, I'm afraid that if I push the wrong button I'll start a nuclear war...
Light and sound might turn out to have greater impacts than realised.
>just last week I had to enter the admin GPG code for the first time in years, and I forgot it initially

Now this is scary.

I'm going to reveal some of my opsec but my password manager (pass(1)) does have yubikeys registered but it also accepts my GPG key. So even if I lose my yubikeys I can still unlock all the passwords, otp codes and everything I have in there.

I just can't feel comfortable with any other solution than my head being the final master key.

I'd say the demand for most large currencies comes from the ability to buy stuff with them and being able to speculate on changes in value amongst them. The daily trillion dollar in FX trades are not tax motivated.
That fails the explicit consent test for GDPR for what I understand. You can always opt out at any time to.
I don't think GDPR is as relevant here either, but installing a transmitter in a car that you can't turn off would be irradiating someone against their will.

France doesn't even have WiFi in schools for this reason. Hard to imagine they would allow something like this in a vehicle.
Surely it would be trivial for the warranty to be void in those cases.
Same. Samsung as a brand is dead to me. It is their right to update previously purchased TVs to show adverts. It is my right to consider their brand toxic swill.

Doing the magic stuff you say doesn't work well due to the ambiguities that could result.

The media keys are atrociously implemented on macOS - I don't know how they've managed it so badly, for so long, without a fix.

Agreed. In the special case of currencies, demand follows belief. If people believe in an assert they will accept it for trade, which may in turn crate demand. This leads to a cycle where more demand often strengthens the belief.

The issue with most crypto tokens is that its demand only exists within the closed crypto ecosystem in the form of liquidity, not in the real world. This makes is much easier to shake belief.

In my ever-cynical view, I imagine in most cases manufacturers don't, themselves, especially care about the data from their devices. I see various other motivations:

1) Price increases. It's "smart". Pay us more.

2) Planned obsolescence. You have numerous new points of failure in your product + make repairing vastly more difficult.

3) Monetize collected data by selling it to interested parties. The data quality, or lack thereof, is a secondary concern.

I'd say single-use kitchen items are worth it if you use them every week. If you use them only once a year and the function can also be performed by something else, it's just clutter.

We've got several knives and several pans, because different versions of the same thing are useful for slightly different purposes. We've got separate pans for pancakes and that works very well for us, because they're lighter and you can actually flip them.
Not bullshit, I've seen it happening already. One team set up http://hicetnunc.xyz/ to host niche NFT-s on the Tezos blockchain. Later they abandoned the whole project and meanwhile another team started to build a new platform on the same dataset. https://objkt.com/

This was pretty cool because all the Hic en nunc generated content over their existence is still accessible through Objkt.

Sharing data is of course possible since stone tablets, but doing it without any form of collaboration or approval is probably unique to crypto.
I remember there was something similar once for web analytics. The extension would obfuscate stuff by changing values, esp. e-commerce values like price and quantity so that the data becomes quite tainted.

I might be extremely old fashioned, but this is not the web I would want to be revived. This inaccessible mess of "artsy" html and css, images and gifs and sound bits.

The web I want back is the original one: hyperlinked text documents formatted using a standard language. I want my browser to basically be an e-book reader, where I can choose any font, spacing and formatting that I desire so any content on the web is exactly to my liking and I don't have to waste time figuring stuff out.

If you truly want to show me an image just upload it to your server and simply hyperlink it in your blog post. My browser will decide if and how to show it. Do I want a visual experience? Set the browser to automatically download every image and display it. Do I want to just read text without distractions? Set the browser to show me a download link without loading the image.

People who want their sites to be "works of art" or something should just create beautiful PDFs using a professional publishing suite or use a game engine to make a truly interactive experience. If you want your personal website to be a DOOM map where you access your pages by killing monsters then please don't push it into my browser but make it a dedicated offline experience.

The main thing is that "belief" alone is a pretty useless source of demand because its extremely mutable.

Having a reliable long term income stream attached, an actual use for the asset and/or a supply which shrinks in relation to the fall in demand is a much more sustainable source of demand.

This really is the key. Make it not worth the effort to go for your bike. Your A->B bike needs to be just capable enough to get you from A to B. Have a secondary cool bike for racing / weekends, if you're into biking.

My current commuter bike that I got after having one stolen is a beater, and the lock that's on it cost me more than the bike. Sure, it's not the greatest to ride, but I can leave it locked to the closest lamp post next to wherever I need to go, and not worry a single bit.

Also, I like to think that the big, shiny registration sticker helps persuade would be thieves not to bother. Where I live, bike registration costs just couple EUR, but judging from the absence of stickers in bike racks, hardly anyone does it.

That is not a solution. You do not get to just decide on whether latency or bandwidth is the bottleneck of your task.
It just has to be strong enough to require marginally more effort to cut than a typical high security bike lock. A good planner will anyway choose a design that's significantly thicker to avoid the replacement cost when someone does try to cut it.
I don't remember seeing any here. Usually they're the crappy small stands where you slot the front wheel of the bike in. You can either only lock that front wheel to the stand or lock a wheel to the frame of the bike. Neither tactic is really secure though.

"these renewables can generate electricity at much lower costs than fossil fuels and, especially, nuclear power. In the United States, unsubsidized wind power costs fell by 71 percent between 2009 and 2020, whereas unsubsidized utility scale solar energy costs declined by 90 percent during the same period."

This was a weird take from the author since NPP aren't interchangeable with Wind/solar-parks.

The problem with this approach is that the `-sk` keys need to be supported server-side (I'm not sure if that support goes beyond including them in a list of recognised key types, but it doesn't matter).

I've worked in a big consumer electronics company and 2. is just a conspiracy theory. Nobody wants their products to be unreliable or difficult to repair. They want them to be cheap to manufacture and unlikely to fail during the warranty period. Everything else stems from that.

Your other two points are broadly correct though. Also data collection is helpful for seeing how customers use products, which genuinely does influence development.
> This happened for what is in retrospect and obvious reason: Big name investors and VCs needed time to cash out.

HUGE conspiracy theory here. Also, you are giving VCs too much credit. They're not super smart, with a few exceptions.
I disagree with "stuff which nobody asked for" because I have asked for smart features in appliances and generally choose products that have them. However, I do agree that many times especially the smaller and cheaper manufacturers screw things up. Bigger brands seem to often have more reliable products and apps that generally work as intended. I've been pretty happy with apps from e.g. IKEA, Xiaomi, Bosch, Philips. They could all be better but they are serving their purpose.
