You're right. Apparently the status of embassies is governed by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations[1], and its articles dedicated to them only mention the inviolability part:

Article 22:

1. The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission.

2. The receiving State is under a special duty to take all appropriate steps to protect the premises of the mission against any intrusion or damage and to prevent any disturbance of the peace of the mission or impairment of its dignity.

3. The premises of the mission, their furnishings and other property thereon and the means of transport of the mission shall be immune from search, requisition, attachment or execution.

Hey hey hey now, BigClive does lots of stuff that's not from AliExpress/eBay like giant HV transformers, traffic signals, pedestrial detectors[1], etc. But yeah, all of that kind of matches his blue collar persona while both being equally technical.

> When was the last time we saw a post in HN talking about how Elon Musk is helping combat climate change?

Is he? - Sure, Tesla pushed the EV market forward but EVs aren't really a solution. We need efficient transport with less infrastructure than roads, but in Musks view public transport is bad as there "might be a killer" next to you. SolarCity also lost relevance in the space since integration with Tesla. With SpaceX his goal also doesn't seem to be to enable scientific advance in researching climate from space or building technologies which can help here but to abandon the planet and building a colony on Mars, where he and his friends can build a new world, just for them.
Why does science news suck so much?

Common right-wing propaganda is that socialism is a poverty cult. This is particularly prevelant in American culture. It's a complete fabrication. The reality is everyone should enjoy the fruits of their labours to a greater degree than they do today. This is the very idea behind workers owning the means of production.

Another way to put this is that every billionaire is a policy failure.

A quote that is often mentioned in this area is [1]:

> “John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”

I'm reminded of a scene from The Sting where Robert Redford and Paul Newman's character are debating whether someone they've decided to con will take the bait [2]:

> "We had him 10 years ago when he decided to be somebody."

All the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" in the US have so successfully been propagandized with that view so that Bezos can have $130B instead of $120B.

Americans should ahve more leisure time. They should have more satisfaction in life. And they should have a greater share in the properity they are fundamental in creating.

But none of that will happen until people realize that being divided on social issues is a tool used for manipulation. It's to stop working people from having class solidarity. You know who has class solidarity? Billionaires.

This isn't even a party issue. The billionaires have bought all sides.

Agreed that web push is abused by media websites.

This is the the most important feature in when converting from a mobile app to pwa. For example, how can my applicant tracking app tell the user they have a new job candidate? How do you alert a user they have a new message on mobile without being able to use notifications? Without proper support for mobile apps from the browser, we're stuck with even more invasive native apps.
The impact Tesla has on climate change is so small as to be complete negligible. Electric cars are entirely insufficient, and we need to move past this rhetoric to actually get anything done.

Cool in concept, but shows how important comedic timing is. Example where the semantics requires the pauses and drawn out expressions to really make it work. Might be where the jokes could be written by AI but perfected by humans, especially as comedians use audience feedback to hone their material. Even the best don’t know how any joke will land until it’s delivered. How could any AI incorporate that real world feedback loop?
What specifically have the verge reported on to make them lose credibility in your eyes? Personally I've got a bit tired of how often he comes up, but it's perfectly understandable considering he's a very public personality with a large following who leads some large tech companies and says/does some very divisive and controversial things

Glad you get to see your idea existing - quite a few engineers of a certain low-level inclination tell us they had imagined (or tried) doing this.

There were academic implementations of this sort of thing around quite a while ago - and VMware's record/replay tech - but these days we have Undo LiveRecorder, rr / Pernosco, Microsoft's WinDbg / TTD, replay.io

Too fresh. While it looks nice, it's not yet usable for anything but very simple mobile apps. I'm not actually quite sure whether it will ever be suitable for complex desktop applications; at least for now everything is clearly designed only for mobile.

Unfortunately that's true. There are also many other models to have elites, some more fair or less cruel than others.

This way or another the main equation never changes. That is, the resources we consume are below the resources we produce. Left or right, communists or capitalist or other kind of ideologues are just different groups of people who have different ideas on how to distribute the roles.

Part of the problem is that people have been conditioned into accepting this weird binary division between Work (measurable, institutionalized, subordinate labor) and Not-Work (everything else) that doesn't exist in healthy societies.

The kibbutzniks worked a lot harder than U.S. office workers, but didn't have the problem of alienation and the epidemic of mental ill-health (plus chronic inflammation, obesity, et al) that we have.

Almost all of us want the institutional, authoritarian nightmare we call "Work" to die, and it's past high time that it does... but, unfortunately, we've been stripped of our imagination when it comes to the question of how work (that is, useful activity) will get done without it.
We _might_ share a set of universal constants with any other intelligence that they also care about. PI, the speed of light, binary, etc.

Please don't say CH4 is "kind of bad". It's an atrocious threat for the planet (and Humanity) right now (thawing of permafrost and of oceanic floor, etc).

Be it 11x more potent that CO2 or just 1x, it's completely enough that H2 has a GHG effect, and that H2 leaks are impossible to prevent due to the size of the molecule.

For me, that's enough to make it less desirable than batteries, especially if we are speaking of policies of mass investment on a planet scale!!!

Also, you use a leakage at 1bar then you transpose it to a plane which would obviously not transport the H2 at 1bar but at a much higher pressure.

Finally, if it is not zero-carbon, then it is not. Even "a little" is not zero.

We need to account for it, and never put ZERO on this CO2e accounting line, that's all.
As I’ve gotten older, I have been vocalizing a question to my friends and family: why is it so unreasonable of me to not want to work a job I don’t like, and instead spend my time producing documentaries and teaching audio production to kids? These are two things I’ve found I love doing. They provide value to society. Yet a sustained income from them is basically unattainable except in very specific, lucky cases, not to mention the income is minimal.

People love to consume art but don’t value the arts. People love the idea of kids - especially “at risk youth” - having technical or otherwise just interesting programming, yet in the case of audio production like I mentioned above there is just one nonprofit here busting its ass trying to make it happen as the only entity attempting it.

All of this is to say, if I didn’t have to worry about making a living and had a bunch of leisure time, I would be putting my time and energy towards these endeavors. Because I think they are valuable, they mean something to me, and I think society would benefit from it too. Unfortunately we have this ridiculous habit of tying morality to work in the US as a result of our Puritan hangover, which means I am not able to pursue the above unless someone deems it worthy of sustained funding (they won’t because virtually no ROI on documentaries or ethical kids programs) or I am sitting on a nest egg most people can’t ever achieve so I don’t have to worry about surviving.

Sorry for the semi-rant. The negative ripple effect tying work to morality has on our society is truly hard to overstate and it upsets me a lot. It’s such a cynical view of people and, unfortunately, is often tied to racial perceptions as well.

Sounds like you're projecting, the article does not say that crypto is inherently a scam, it's saying there's a lot of fraud going on within the crypto market.

If the title had said "We’ve only scratched the surface of how bad the credit card crime wave has gotten" that doesn't mean they're saying credit cards are a scam.
My father witnessed an instance of this.

I do realize that, at least if we're talking about middle managers. It'd be a stretch to say that executives are "labor"
or are "employees" except in a strict legal fashion. Executives don't work for companies; companies work for executives. The reasons for this are sociological rather than economic--in short, so long as executives uphold the interests of the upper class, the other rich people who control the company (important shareholders) will look the other way on their self-dealing.

The fact that they are victims of the system does not mean they are innocent of all charges. Almost everyone who is and remains rich or powerful in this world is a crook; that doesn't mean everyone who is not rich or powerful is a saint.

Of course, but my point is do we choose to invest massively in hydrogen planes or in battery planes.

Once done the choice it's hard to go back.
Refactoring UI (https://www.refactoringui.com) is a fantastic resource, and we’ll worth the price in my opinion. I refer to it again and again. You can also find videos on YouTube of the author doing “live” UI redesigns/refactorings, and those are also very useful.

I don't know, but what climate change related action of him is worth discussing?
I'm thinking of a case where a process thinks it has a lock and tries to do things even though it doesn't have the lock.

This happened on a project I was on, two processes would join a RabbitMQ on a service that was not safe to load balance.

I suspect it could happen if the program using your lock service is not implemented properly and the lease expires but the program doesn't realise.
> The impact Tesla has on climate change is so small as to be complete negligible.

How are you defining impact? I think it's reasonable to conclude that Tesla caused the global move away from IC cars to EVs. According to the EPA, 27% of carbon emissions are from transportation [1]. I realize that there's other types of transportation than cars included in that number, that we still need to generate the electricity in a carbon neutral way (Tesla is contributing here as well), and that we also need to address the other 73%.

The only way I can see your comment to be true is if you narrowly look at the number of Tesla cars that are exclusively powered by solar today. But that's a very narrow view that misses the broader picture entirely.

Why should the press spend its time fawning over the world’s richest man? Isn’t it better to hold him accountable? Isn’t that literally the point of a free and independent press?

If Musk does not want news stories that accurately report the things he does, he should… stop doing those things.
OP Here. Thanks for the feedback.
When I started to write the article, I was set to give a list of things we can follow to improve privacy. In the middle, I noticed the arguments why you should do it were not clear. As I said in another comment, it's not clear for my mother the consequences of oversharing, so it's not easy for me to tell her not do do so.

The reality is that it really depends. Maybe you do need to flash your phone and use a VPN or maybe not. It's complex. I work in Cybersecurity and I often get into projects where PMs want magic bullets but there isn't one. Are you processing personal data? Are you going to have legal, financial or reputation implications if you have your data stolen? It's not binary.

The idea is to get the basics right so I can defend to my significant other why she doesn't see ads on Google: it's because pi-hole, honey.

I will come up with the list of things you can do and share it here soon, sorry if you think it's clickbait.
I'll say it's quite eye opening to work for a place with ineffective middle management. I did it for a couple years.

When people asked what it was like I quoted the famous phrase "an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters".

Every group was doing something different. People would start numerous projects and then just forget about them. Really important things were never planned for and ended up being a mad rush once some random person figure out how bad the consequences of not doing it were.

The people were all very smart. There was just no management. Nobody to say "no, don't do X, do Y" or a leader to say "yes, we could do all of those things, but we've prioritized these 2".

After a while I was begging for the bureaucracy and paperwork of a big company just so that I could feel like I wasn't just spinning my wheel 90% of the time.
A good number of the stories on Musk relate to something he said on Twitter. I wouldn't say he's being treated unfairly based on the way he uses it.

Positive stories on the companies he's associated with do reach the front page of HN on a semi-regular basis.
