Yeah, instead it's manipulated by an entirely different set of equally nefarious actors! We did it, everyone!
If Telegram have E2EE by default, it won't have fully synced history.
This would be much less useful.
Maybe we don’t hand the warm cold transition? I also heard it has something to do with our clouds are always low and warm instead of high and cold, which apparently has something to do with making lightning. I really don’t know the reason our region doesn’t have lightning.
> When it's severed, it's not exactly lit anymore either ;)

It literally is lit though, the lasers at both ends are still trying to send bits, or at least sending pulses to do fault location.
When last I checked (and contacted support :)), there was no way to get per-panel generation data from the API. It's been, like, at least a year, but if it hasn't already been added, that'd be a thing I'd love to see so I can integrate it with the monitoring/alerting I already have setup.

Since per-panel data is available in the UI, it seems like information that Enlighten does track, it's just not made available via API.
I suppose it’s about setting different tiers depending on the orgs. For instance a higher tier for the org with your main dev repos and deployment/CI system, and more basic tier for orgs with your translators’ and QA team’s repos, etc.
I would agree if it was trivial to bring these things about, but it takes a lot of public backing to even get to this point.

It’s just like if we were to hold a state ratification convention. Things would have to be really wrong for us to successfully make changes to our constitution & get everyone on board.
Tesla's competitors aren't testing "beta" self driving technology (marketed as magic "Full Self Driving" or "Autopilot") on public roads, which has predictably resulted in deaths and property damage. They are not iterating and improving, because if they were they would have fixed the flaw which lead to a decapitation 2016. Instead, they doubled down on their negligent sensor stack, and predictably another decapitation happened in 2019.

As a robotics engineer myself, it makes my brain bleed to watch Teslas operate autonomously (because watching them operate reveals how terribly they are engineered), and it makes me furious to think that these things are allowed to operate on public roads around people.

> they challenge conventional norms about how a specific part or process is typically done ... introducing so many cool things that we would not typically see in the car industry.

Tesla can keep whatever changes they would like to make to the car industry, imo. Challenging norms is sometimes okay but other times not. For example, when the norm is "we shouldn't beta-test autonomous machines on the general public because it is dangerous", maybe we should leave that one alone.

Tesla, especially Musk, is responsible for irreparably damaging the culture of safety that was created around autonomous cars circa 2007 at the DARPA Urban Challenge. Back then safety was a top concern -- beta-quality autonomous cars were equipped with flashing lights, had safety kill switches, were operated by trained technicians, and everyone in the vicinity were aware of their existence and more importantly consented to be a part of the test.

Today, thanks to Tesla, buggy driverless cars are operating covertly on public roads without the public's consent, by clueless people without any training. What an improvement, and definitely something we all asked for!

This has lead to people dying, as everyone has predicted. But does that deter Tesla? Of course not. They continue undeterred and even doubled down. If your friend loses their head or gets run over by a Tesla, will you thank Tesla's engineers for their high-quality products? Will you thank Elon Musk for his "move fast and break things" attitude when it comes to 2 ton death machines rolling around in your town?

> Plus the cross pollination between SpaceX and Tesla is introducing so many cool things that we would not typically see in the car industry.

This reminds me a of a story I heard of SpaceX engineers having to be brought in to Tesla to teach them the proper way to use pointers. Probably not the kind of cross-pollination you were thinking of. I guess that's a testament to Tesla's engineering prowess.
Fab operators are hedging against future geopolitical conflict with China and how that will impact Taiwan. Many will scoff at this, but Intel, Samsung and others are putting serious money on it. The people that can still make devices when Taiwan is blockaded by Chinese battle fleets will make bank.
> All politics is ideological but to blame a single progressive DA for the entirety of the current crime problem

Isn't that a straw man though? No one reasonable is saying that this DA is responsible for the entirety of the crime problem, and of course this uptick in crime is a nationwide problem! However, the DA isn't doing enough to make things better, and putting people in jail who are committing crimes repeatedly because they've realized there are no consequences for their actions is probably the smarter thing to do ATM. So let's instead elect a DA that will do that (like we did here in Seattle, it won't solve the problem...but it is a start).
It's great for my side projects. I take the train a lot so that's where I use it the most. I use a normal X11 DE and all my normal apps just work, no futzing with "mobile" crap.
It's depressing how bloated and slow some software is despite running on way faster machines. The software engineering accomplished in the 90's was nothing short of astonishing.

We have plenty of tickets like this too - in the Enterprise Premium tier. One about SLA, about 10 for Actions misbehaving... you should really just have look at your own metrics and not give someone complaining to the internet white glove treatment. For the amount of money you take for Enterprise Premium you really ought to offer it to everyone without complaining.
You can reconfigure Authy to require an existing device to let you in as well. It won't prevent the "absolutely everything is fried" case but it's better than most password managers.

If someone tries to use SMS/Voice to activate Authy on my account it just gets rejected.
The first syllable is always trimmed off for me - is this like a "free tier" restriction?
This happened to me but because I broke my phone. My broken phone had Google Authenticator on it and I don't have my backup codes since I've had authenticator for years and never thought to redownload them. Anyways, now I can't login to my Facebook or Twitter anymore. Facebook doesn't seem to have any kind of account recovery and the methods they say I can use (e.g. log in from another device and you'll get a notification) don't work. I even have my phone number logged with them but apparently not as part of 2 factor, so I can't recover my account that way either.

TBH this experience has really made me question using an authenticator app every again.
> You need decades just to replicate this. Now you need to move 100+ of such material chains.

I think decades is a stretch. Keep in mind most of these chains sprung up in the last 3 decades organically in Taiwan and China (and many of them are still elsewhere-- e.g. BASF is still a titan.)

If it's a national priority, you can get some production going a lot faster than this.
Yes, yes it is that bad. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/london-software-engineer-.... 60k Pounds is about 75k USD. Seems like Beacon might be on the low side.
But presumably they care if bitcoin is still exchangeable to something (maybe goods and services?). The exchange rate to currencies determines the exchange rate to everything else. If they don’t care about exchanging bitcoin for currencies or goods or services then what is the purpose of BTC? Both currency and store of value use cases depend on exchangability.
> If someone sees a child alone in the car, how are they to know how long the kid has been there or how long they will be alone?

Mu. It's not your right to be able to audit every bit of other people's business. If you don't know, then the proper action is inaction.

If you have actual knowledge of a specific problem (eg a kid looking actually distressed due to being too hot), then by all means call it in and/or take action yourself. But in general, your vague worry of "what if" is not others' responsibility to assuage.
This is really cool, the notes have a wonderful design. Now I'm curious if this is possible with Monero.

I could definitely see this being used at Bitcoin meetups or other crypto-events
I wanted to get a trimmer with USB-C. Unfortunately, all that I found would not allow c-to-c charging. Only charging from A. The 'A' basically allows a 'hot wire' type charge to go through for power. C-only charging requires negotiation. There's no way to tell up front that the charging is limited like this and manufacturers don't want to highlight it.
That seems contrary to the trend I have seen here, which is more and more stores going 'cashless', and only accepting credit cards. The cost to handle cash is more expensive than the percentage that the credit cards take.
"As I said in the post, if the company can grant access to me - they can grant access to themselves, or a malicious insider, or my twin sister."

Well, presumably the access is to (seemingly) random, gibberish data that you have stored with (borg, restic, etc.). So you'll need to remember a last-ditch passphrase to your own encryption if you're using us for your backstop.

We encourage all of our customers to encrypt their data here - regardless of their use-case - and we don't hold those keys.

I can't overstate to you just how suspicious and spidey-sense-tingling we get when someone says they are locked out and can we help them get back in. We get very adversarial and we have a LOT of tests we can apply to their claims.

The reason other firms don't do this isn't because it's not workable - but because it is time consuming and "not scalable".

> But then it will evaporate in a while and will have no value at all.

This is true of the US dollar as well if you look at a 100 year time span.
> Ha, these costs are a DROP in the bucket for businesses at 10k employees

First, it's not just the cost. It's the fact that a company of 10k employees do not need to be at the mercy of a third-party vendor. And if the company is going to go with the line of "we want to outsource everything that is not core to the business", then they should be asking themselves what is their "core" business that warrants 10k employees in the first place.

Second, if it's just the occasional SaaS that they need and they can't find or train people to do it, I'd understand it. The problem is when you look at the typical early-stage startup who raises $500k for a seed stage round and they think it is normal/expected to burn $10k/month on Github/Jira/CI/Contentful/Dropbox/Figma/etc/etc/etc, when there are alternatives that could work and people don't even try them.

> You're missing things like:

No, I am not. Check the comment that I referenced. I suggested a scenario where you can hire someone to implement the solution and have an ongoing support contract for a fraction of the cost from 1Password.

> Do developers want to work with a system that isn't GitHub and be productive?

Have they even tried? Surely any Engineering Manager worth anything should be able to at least back up their choices based on more than "we are using this because this is what everyone else is using"?
The title should say "platinum dissolved in liquid gallium".
Subsidies are always bad for the common citizen so no, it is not acting in the interest of German/European citizen. Subsidies are the product of flawed economical thinking even when "national interest" is used as a BS justification.
I didn’t read that as intending to include Einstein in that group.
I've heard this class of meetings described as "organizing your thoughts with witnesses" and that's a brilliant explanation in my experience.
I think a pretty strong case could be made that the cost of innovation is not worth it. Would it be better to have revolving door of new medicines with 1% better efficacy or all medicines for 10% the price?

Unfortunately, this requires the intellectual honesty for people to admit that profits do in fact Drive Innovation which seems to be a sticking point for most.

I was under the impression the main predator was insecticides.
I think what wrong footed me about that is the artwork on the page linked, it shows people paying with the notes as if they are cash, there isn't a smartphone visible in the images as though a smartphone is not a requirement.
> Einstein's and Schrödinger's theories etc. predicted effects that were later experimentally proven to exist.

Nope. It's the other way around. The most important theories from Einstein an Schrödinger were created to explain effects there were experimentally known. The ones where they predicted the effects first and found them later were much less impactful.
The construction of the multisig is such that (1) the key we generate and store encrypted on the note can never access the funds alone -- and we don't store it because we don't want to be custodians and (2) the end users load the notes, we never touch BTC.
>Germany used to have a semiconductor industry like Intermetall (acquired by micronas acquired by TDK). The problem is that IMHO German automotive industry is not willing to pay a cent more than necessary.

How about the three fabs that Bosch has in Germany? Or Infineon, X-Fab, Globalfoundries, TI, Prema, Elmos (now Siltech), Vishay, Nexperia?
When I work from home I don’t have commute time. However, when I work in the office I might have commute time ranging from “basically nine” to O(hours). So, if it’s hours, I can’t see how I can be as productive “in the office”unless I view commuting time as “my” time not “office” time.

Of course people can be more productive in 10 hours than 8, right? It’s just that they’re no longer willing to fork over all that personal time to their employer. Takes 1 hour each way? Do 6-ish hours in the office.
I think your analogy isn’t right. None of those standards are mandatory. Would M.2 have come out when it did if you needed to change the law to permit it to be used over SATA?

USB-C is already a standard just like all your other examples. This law forbids using other standards.

> New innovations can be brought forth in the same way they are with the other standards mentioned above: developed in a harmonised manner

I think you are confused about how consumer product innovation happens in the real world. You don’t form a committee and convince them that your new product is better. You bring something new to market and if it succeeds, you make money and gain market share; like Apple did when they brought out Lightning. Even if you are building a new standard like M.2, you are still competing with other standards, all of which can be chosen by your customers as they deem appropriate. By definition it is now harder to innovate on charging cables simply because you can’t try something new.

It is perfectly fine to say “I don’t think we need to prioritize innovation in this sector any more; eWaste is more important than innovation”. I wouldn’t even argue with that claim in the short term. But it’s not credible to deny that this will have a negative effect on innovation. That is always the impact of regulation like this. If nothing else, startups are now forbidden from experimenting with this variable.
Sounds nice and all until you need a novel vaccine.

The whole point is that the US being profitable allows research for new drugs, not that profits aren’t high in the US. Heck, Pfizer sells stuff at cost to about pretty large portion of the world now.
I'm from Rome, Italy and I feel like I'm on a sinking boat where everyone is enthusiastically carving holes in the bottom.

My grand-parents bought a house to my parents when they were 27.
My parents had it easy and never learned personal finance.
They refused to lend me 30k to start a mortgage for the house in Budapest, Hungary despite having 2 young kids because they didn't trust Hungary stability and wanted me to go back to Italy.

They have been keeping 60k in their checking account for the past 10 years.
I've tried to convince them to invest a part of it in ETF but my father wrote me that: "They have invested in the Italian social security system and they have no need for other investments other than their government pensions and the house they own".
Real estate value in Rome has declined 30% since 2012.

I have been telling them about the population decline and how the pension system is gonna go belly up in the future.
Then Elon Musk also tweeted about Italy grim population collapse future last month.
I told my father in great distress that I was sadly right.
He told me I'm working too much and I need to relax and essentially he won't be taking advice from me because I'm not thinking straight, implying I need medical attention.

Try to save Italy and you will be called crazy.
It will perhaps apply for newer phones...

> everyone's accessories need to be replaced now

No. iPhone users can use/share with Android users.
As another resident, I can vouch there are serious issue but the DA is largely being successfully scapegoated by the troubled police department. Pretty much all the reasons the police cite for their chronic issues and ineffectiveness are utter BS but they seem to have successfully shifted all the blame onto the DA. With the serious police dept issues, pandemic, national trends, and lopsided analysis it’s hard to say how much role the da has had but it’s easy to tell it’s nowhere even close to what most attribute. I think the recall will succeed and the supporters will find nothing changes because he wasn’t the issue.
The point is when a new incompatible plug happens you have to replace your existing accessories, and accessory manufacturers have to choose which hardware is supported, or everyone has the dreaded adapters.
Take this honest question in the spirit it was intended because I agree with everything you posted and appreciate both your candor and ethical stance.

You mentioned "access" and "affordability" but there is a third leg of healthcare in terms of "quality". How do you see your proposed approach affecting healthcare quality?

For example, does public-owned R&D lower incentives to generate new treatments? Or, conversely, does it raise incentives for higher quality drugs for underserved (and unprofitable) diseases?

Show HN: Mathzetta – Convert Math to LaTeX with JavaScript
Before you upvote this post, note that ddtaylor is basically farming karma by reposting past HN stories that got significant upvotes. You can see from the user's posting history that roughly 2 posts per hour are occurring, one of which is usually an old article, and this pattern has continued over the past several days. It would probably be a good idea for someone to report this to @dang.

This kind of implies some kind of automated posting as well, since it's unlikely somebody is sitting in front of their computer 24 hours a day to post twice an hour.

There are a couple good libraries to display LaTeX, but there aren't enough ways to generate LaTeX without a human who knows the syntax. So I'm trying to make it as simple as possible to generate LaTeX for at least basic math expressions.

Also, I want the contribution process to be a bit different. It's a work-in-progress but it should eventually be very simple to make changes, test them, and submit.

Mathzetta is still early stages and any feedback is appreciated.

It certainly could have been if our government didn't:

2. Use it as a geopolitical weapon.

The Switch was updated to support BT headphones, with the caveat that you can only have 2 BT controllers simultaneously connected with the headphones, and the controllers can’t be switched while headphones are in.
I was hoping to like this but the pricing is a total deal-breaker for me.

Personally, AWS' and Google's pay-as-you-go plan win every time regardless of the "better" and "cheaper" claims IMO. You must introduce pay-as-you-go plans if you really want some good traction. I really like the Entrepreneur voice (the professor sounds like Jordan Peterson)

On more thing, I think in the comparison you have sampled the AWS non-neural voice while using the price of neural voice for the price comparison - this does not sound like a fair comparison to me (but please correct me if I'm wrong and I'll edit my comment).
Ease of access does matter.

It only buys time, but that can provide the time needed to create countermeasures and ideally make those very accessible—somewhat similar to responsible vulnerability disclosure.

I have no intention to make a Microsoft account.
THere's at least one big issue here, which is that you're pretending that a website is like a building or a dam. If that were the case, a company like Google would have a (relatively) small team of SWEs who "built" things, and a much larger team of SREs who maintained them over their operational lifecycle once the SWEs were done building the thing. But that isn't the case.

Software systems (at least in competitive consumer markets) are constantly changing and evolving. To use the dam analogy, there's constantly a team of people making the dam taller or wider or deeper, even while the dam is running and producing power.

All the SRE teams I've worked with have done a bunch of things that go beyond "operations". They are usually consulted at the design stage, to make sure that the thing is going to be built reliably. They're also responsible for ensuring ongoing reliability as all new features are added. That means that the features themselves don't impact reliability, and that the process of adding new features doesn't impact reliability. None of this work has a reasonable analogue in your dam analogy, except perhaps as some combination of consultant and regulatory body.
