Well, I'd rather not, because, then, it would be pretty simple to figure out which other brand I'm not-so-positive about, but it is one of the priciest, and they don't advertise much (and probably also don't butter up reviewers much).
Even modern CG is garbage and suffers from the uncanny valley effect.

I don't enjoy Marvel films but even if I did they're unwatchable because of the awful CG.
These addons are effectively desktop software running as your user, just like Chrome. If Chrome can extract your saved usernames/passwords, then another program can replicate that functionality. They could require a master password and encrypt, but then people would use it less. They could also push it to a cloud service and only pull down relevant passwords at usage time, but is that good for user control of data?
The German Green (Grüne) party is up in recent polls[0]. They are not just part of the German government coalition, with the posts of Secretary of Economy and Energy (Habeck) and Foreign Secretary (aka Secretary of State, Baerbock) (and some other posts), they are very powerful within the government coalition. Both Habeck and Baerbock are leading Chancellor Scholz of the SPD in polls since months.

It has to be said tho that the Green party is doing "realpolitik" now. While they aim at one hand to drastically accelerate renewables, right now they also invest heavily in getting a more secure energy situation in the near future still using a lot of fossil fuels, including rapidly building up LNG terminals and securing deals with parties they previously frowned upon, e.g. a gas deal with Qatar, the government of which the Green party previously heavily criticized for the human rights situation in the country. And e.g. they accepted - with some bickering - the temporary gas (as in petrol) price subventions the other coalition parties wanted, in exchange for temporary public transport price subventions (a 9-Euro regional ticket, that is valid for a month at a time, 21M sold by July 1, population 83M).

They are still rejecting nuclear power generation, neither wanting to build new plants, nor keeping old plants running (the operators of said old plants already called the idea of keeping those plants running "infeasible" to outright "stupid").

It remains to be seen what the blowback will be if inflation doesn't at least slow down, or if autumn and winter come and people start getting cold. Tho right now, the politicians and leading experts and "experts" say, it doesn't look like there there will be a shortage on a scale that gets life-threatening to some people.

[0] 20-24% share in recent polls, vs the 14.8% they actually got in the last election in Sep 2021. They are actually slightly ahead of the SPD (social democrats) in the polls now. The SPD is the majority partner in the coalition.

With all due respect to James, without whom I probably wouldn't have my current job (I've been programming in Django since the 0.96 days, that is 16 years now), I think Armin is right on this one:

> PyPI asks for 2FA today, what might they ask for tomorrow?

Yes, slippery slopes are real because they happen, especially in this very tense and very non-rational geo-political climate. Yes, today it might just be "use 2FA with you still want to actively maintain your own package", tomorrow it might be "boo-hoo-hoo, you've followed/liked Putin/Xi/whoever the powers that be don't like, you're a threat to liberal democracy, we can't leave critical infrastructure in your hands, bye-bye", and there will be nothing for the package maintainer left to do at that point.
I've been looking at the bias in rankings for a little while. I think one way to identify and raise awareness of the biases, is just put rankings together side-by-side. I did this for computer science programs, and there's some interesting differences that I noticed:

It's good if you're an American interested in traveling to Europe/buying European goods.

Bad if you're an American selling products to Europeans.
Both. Imported stuff will be more expensive in Europe. Bad for consumers.

Exports from EU will be more competitive, which in the medium term will strengthen the Euro again.

Am I missing something - what exactly makes this HN worthy? AFAIK Prepar3d has been around for a long time, and the headline is from 2021.
German companies have manufacturing presence all over the world, including substantial factories in the US. Those factories pay workers in dollars and sell products in dollars. They are somewhat isolated from the impacts of the EU failures.

German govt bonds are still being purchased by the ECB under QE so it makes sense their yields are suppressed.
It's truly mind-boggling. The Ivies were always bastions for maintaining the position of WASP elites. They still serve that function. Maybe there is a bit more wiggle room about skin color, but they still function to socialize the next generation of people to run WASP institutions like "JP Morgan Chase."
Buy pushing to close nuclear reactors and burn more fossil fuels?
Before micro-USB every cell phone came with its own charging connector plug and everyone and their mother was complaining about it, but people still bought them because there wasn't all that much of a choice, or the sacrifices you had to make in other areas were just too large.

Price, functionality, availability, etc. all factor in. And the tricky thing with repairs is that it's a very "non-obvious" feature.

The euro price was originally set deliberately to fall between the pound and the dollar. They could have set any price, but they picked that one with the intention that it would usually be a bit more than a dollar.

There's nothing special about it being worth less than a dollar; it's an arbitrary mark not unlike a year ending in zero. But it only happens when the euro is significantly weaker than it was intended to be.

Simply not true. Ask George W. how much EU support he got for the war on terror. Also, the US, while syarting a lot of wars in last decades, didn't start or instigate the one in Ukraine. That was Outin trying to pull a NATO / George W. war on terror thing that didn't work out as planned.
With no data, I'm assuming this is all business-driven. Nobody is compromising software supply chains to make your 3D printer print 8% slower for the lulz. They're doing it to hack companies and compromise user data. If open source was just hobbyists making stuff for hobbyists, it might not even require a login to update a package. With companies involved, they to reduce this risk, and this comes at the cost of people not involved with the company's business. I can see why authors get annoyed; they are being required to change their workflow for a use case that doesn't interest them. Being asked to do boring work for free is not a great solution to anything.

Personally, I don't have a horse in this game. I always use 2FA when it's available. I have already made the necessary adjustments in my workflow. But I get why people are annoyed that they have to change something. Imagine that this was "we'll send you a check for $1000 if you enable 2FA on your account". Bet there would have been zero angry blog posts.
Yes, I agree it is incrementally worse. I agree that de facto, the surveillance industry is practically inescapable. The technical ability to avoid various forms of tracking requires an extreme amount of effort and unreasonableness. I myself will put in such unreasonable effort on many things, but I still cannot manage to do so for everything.

Still, there is a difference between this de facto state of affairs, and a de jure mandate from the government to make us more trackable.

If were talking about the deficiencies causing the original topic, the right answer is to rebuke this nonsensical concept of "identity theft" and make companies fully liable for their attempted frauds (ala the top level comment of this tree). If we're talking about constructively building systems to do things the "right way", then privacy needs to be incorporated in such systems from the ground up, as the previous bait and switch with social security numbers has demonstrated.

Peer to peer needs a business model. E2EE social media involves storing tons of large binary blobs (images and video) for people, and they need to cover that cost somehow. Since it's already been established that social media is supposed to be free, a lot of people aren't going to want you to charge for it, no matter what advantages you have over other market participants.

The exchange rate doesn't matter. What matter is the change in the exchange rate.

Commodities like food and gas go to the highest bidder usually. If country A is paying $10/pound for bacon and country B is also paying $10/pound for bacon the bacon suppliers will sell bacon to both countries, but if all of a sudden country A is only paying $2/pound for bacon because their currency went down 80%, the bacon suppliers will only sell their bacon to country B at $10/pound.
Well, it rounds to the same number. But if you really care about an arbitrary line being crossed, then just know that as of 21:31 UTC, the Euro is still slightly higher than the dollar at 1.0039618 and it has not dipped at or below 1.00 yet.
Incredibly and against all odds, Strange New Worlds is good. Really good. By Star Trek standards (watch the older ones with the rose-colored glasses off...) it's amazing, even. It does carry over some of the baggage from Discovery but handles it surprisingly well, considering what a shit-show that was (though even that's decent compared to the trainwreck that is Picard).

Yea the class was basically him gossiping
Doesn't seem so clear cut to me yet, but I see what you're hinting at. The first one seems about Google Fonts specifically, together with IPs indeed, but not mentioning US govt subpoenas at all (at least in the English translation of the abstract). Personally, I long believed Google Fonts are a risk from privacy standpoint and not really necessary, just easy - this seems to basically be reflected in the abstract and makes me quite happy. Interestingly, it seems to mention severity of the privacy abuse potential vs. benefit, which again sounds great to me. Now, the 2nd one mentions GA and subpoenas, so this becomes more tricky and I wonder what will come of it. Though for the time being, GA is exactly a target I hoped would be regulated, so again rather happy for now, though I see how this seems indeed a concern dealing with any US company. And how connecting the two (i.e. IPs as PII + US govt subpoenas) becomes a concern as well. IANAL, obviously, though. But interesting, thanks!

Yes, it's one of main priorities for me.

> impossible to tell how much information can be found underneath

"underneath" == "children" of card you going to click, isn't it? Yes, thank you. Didn't get this point from other comments (thought about "breadcrumb" navigation, facepalm.jpg). Thank you for emphasizing it. Got it. Nice example with books. I plan to add at least the number of children, but maybe will find other more elegant ways.

-

> I wanted to look up a piece of information that is hidden deep inside or if I wanted to reorganize my notes

Yes, good point. For sure there are different modes of thinking: when you write/brainstorm, read what you've got, and work with it/rearrange/edit. So I want to try and add separate modes of interaction to help with it. For sure "read mode" — compiled text (of current branch, or entire board, when watching from root).

-

> global navigation and a search tool

Yes. Search for sure, navigation between boards, clipboard to move stacks around.

-

> font-size dependent on the amount of text in a card.

This is a slippery road leading to messy/noisy situation. I tried this approach, not in this project, but earlier in my UX/UI career. I know what you mean — cards can (will) hold a lot of text. I plan to truncate text with ellipses. Will try to find some balanced solution. But yes. Good point.

> parent card/header(?) should be differentiated much more against its child cards

Hm. Will think about it. Thanks.

Thank you again for your time and thorough notes!
The Yen has bounced around ¥100 to $1 since the early 90's.

I've had a completely unfounded theory about it for years that the tighter two economies are linked, the more likely this is to happen. People dealing in both being more willing just to round one way or the other bringing it into some sort of homeostasis due to simpler in-head math.

> More seriously: two-factor auth is such a reasonable bare-minimum and easy-to-do (from the account-holder end) thing for account security these days that the objections being raised make no sense to me.

As a security engineer, this is the thing I don't get about dissenters. Any account I actually care about has 2FA on it.

By today's security standards, NOT adding 2FA just means you don't really care about your project. Hand it over to someone else in that case.
> Shouldnt the inflation in the US due to loose monetary policy make the USD weaker internationally?

The EU is inflating their currency more.
> Nazi Russia

I'm not sure if you're talking about Putin or after Putin. Putin is an autocrat in all but name already. It's unclear whta'll happen to Russia when Putin inevitably dies. It could plunge into chaos, which is a big risk of any cult of personality.

But Ukraine has revealed that Russia's military is a paper tiger. Russia too is in decline (demographically).

> WW3

So if we actually have nuclear war between major powers, it's over. There's really no point worrying about this happening because it's unlikely you can impact this outcome so you'll be better off just assuming it won't happen.

> North Korea attacking the South

I don't fancy their chances. Sure NK has a large standing army but they can barely feed themselves. Kim Jong-Un isn't an ideologue. If anything, he's Saddam Hussein, which is to say he's motivated by his material reality rather than, say, any kind of fundamentalism. Kim likes his luxuries. Attacking the South would invite his own personal ruin. The only way I see this as realistic is if NK will otherwise collapse. Is a collapsing NK really that much of a threat? I mean they could cause a lot of people to die but could they succeed? I somehow doubt it.

Remember too that NK only really exists because China wants it to exist. China, like any major power, likes having buffer states between it and other major powers. The US is no exception here either. The US almost started wW3 over Cuba after provoking the USSR (ie Jupiter MRBMs in Turkey).

China doesn't war on th eKorean peninsula. China likes things the way they are. Just how long would NK survive without Chinese support?

Side note: it has been a huge failure of US foreign policy not to consider that Putin too would want a buffer to NATO.

> China taking advantage of the situation and invading Taiwan

What'll eventually happen with Taiwan is a big open question. China knows what a shitstorm it would be to invade. Success isn't guaranteed either. A small body of water can be a huge barrier to even large militaries. Only 17 miles separates England and france at the closest point and Nazi Germany could never cross it and invade. Had there been a land bridge, the UK would've absolutely fallen in 1940-41. No one has successfully invaded England by sea since 1066.

> Japan remilitarising and maybe becoming a nuclear power.

Japan is a declining power due in large part to demographics. Japan is a bit like the UK in that it is highly dependent on imports. It also has a major power in the form of China as a direct neighbour. I really doubt Japan is the will or even the means to become a major military power.

I'm honestly way more concerned about the rise of fascism in the United States than anything you mentioned.
A settlement will only be a license for Russia to do the same thing again in a couple of years’ time. It’s not even the third time they do this in the last 20 years. This has no easy solution, but pressuring Ukraine to give up its land would be particularly bad.
I thought we weren't getting first look until tomorrow. This rules.
A couple of years ago, I was lucky to see Lowrence of Arabia in a local cinema with a 70 mm film projector. The film was originally shot on 65mm and it looked fabulous on the big screen! I don’t remember the film grain being an issue. I usually notice it at the start of the film but then quickly get used to it. It’s also likely that the picture quality was cleaned to some degree.

I presume your Blu-Ray transfer was processed conservatively. Digital filters to remove film grain can introduce their own artifacts which degrade the image quality and make the picture look different from how it was originally intended to be seen.
The US does not extradite for crimes committed in the US to other countries at least I'm not aware of any cases.
The entire Western-led global economic order is designed to pry open new markets, especially ones that provide important resources. That's why it's sometimes called neo-imperialism. China has become a major power with the aid of that economic system and is now inexorably tied to it. The fact that it has a lot of natural resources is incidental. It followed a very similar development strategy to Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore - all economically thriving countries that lack natural resources. Russia on the other hand has become severely diminished by it's inability to integrate into that economic system. It's biggest exports are natural resources, much like any given developing country.

I think any sober assessment of which regions will achieve or maintain economic preeminence in the coming decades would have to include Europe and almost certainly exclude Russia.
You ever tried eating fish with bones in it? It takes me forever. By the time I finished picking the bones out of 700 calories of fish it'd be time for my next meal. Meanwhile I have friends who eat fish just fine and get full.

FWIW Salmon drenched in butter and lemon does the trick, but that kind of feels like cheating.

Maybe fish sticks would fill me up? Heck if I know.

Peanut butter is another one, plenty of people can eat crap tons of peanut butter and not get full. Other people get full from peanut butter easily.

Same goes for nuts, and a ton of snacking foods. That is why they are called snacking foods

I once had a coworker who could honest to goodness get filled up from an ice cream cone. Calorically, that is correct, but the vast majority of people's bodies will completely ignore calorie math when consuming ice cream (see: Common jokes about a separate desert stomach).

> See a specialist rather than quibbling over the definition of doctor.

"Hi doctor, yeah, I have a normal BMI and I am in above average health and I work out multiple times per week but some guy online says I should see you because I don't get full eating peanut butter."

You do realize that there are literally not specialists for this stuff? If medical science understood why some people never get full eating certain foods, we wouldn't have so much obesity.

On the flip side, food scientists understand that fat + sugar = never satiated. That is why donuts are even a thing. Realistically a donut and a sweetened coffee are "enough calories" but they aren't satiating at all.

And then there is the nastiness of the human body mostly ignoring liquid calories all together[1], outside of mechanical fullness of the stomach. That is why starbucks can get away with selling drinks that have almost an entire day's worth of calories in them.

[1] Protein shakes are a notable exception to this.

> But it only happens when the euro is significantly weaker than it was intended to be.

This isn't how central banks value their fiat currency.

If for some reason the Fed puts 20% interest on the USD, the value of the USD would increase dramatically. The Euro is under no obligation to set its value with respect to the USD or the Pound.

There is no "intended" value of the Euro with respect to other currencies.

There's an "intended" value of the Euro with respect to keeping European governments solvent and keeping prices steadily increasing.

If the Euro has to drop to $0.01 to achieve those goals, it will. If it has to climb to $100 to achieve those goals, it will.
