Both a guide and a manual. The “guide” is for newcomers and later sections will teach the more advanced techniques. The “manual” is everything in-depth, specifications, docs organized by symbol etc.

This is how most sites do things and my preferred way
Lithium fires are considered class B so any chemical agent such as found in any standard ABC or dry chemical fire extinguisher would be sufficient. As for tools, there's stuff that can be used to pierce the battery case and inject water or agents directly into the battery.

Amazon raised Prime prices in Canada recently, or at least sent me an email saying my costs were going to go up.

I cancelled it immediately. Yes, I can afford $2 extra a month.

No, I'm not going to pay $2 extra a month to the most profitable company on the planet to make sure their margins don't decrease even slightly.
I'm pleased to hear that anyone is still teaching anyone anything about sockets.

The bit about Windows not treating sockets as files made me pause, since Windows does treat so many things as files. After thinking about it some, I suppose it's kernel32 that treats kernel32 things as files. Winsock has a separate history.
Hey, please don't be a jerk on HN, no matter how annoying you find another comment. There are always annoying things floating around—not getting reactive to them is key to having this place function as intended.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Edit: it looks like you've unfortunately been making a habit of posting unsubstantive comments and otherwise breaking the site guidelines, and we've had to ask you more than once not to do this. Can you please fix this? I don't want to ban you, but that's what we'll end up having to do if this keeps up.

Is D safe like Rust? I don't believe it is. I've written a little D and I like it but we need safe languages. The industry ignored the safety of Pascal, Modula-2, and Ada back in the 1970's and chose C because it was slightly faster. Now we're getting hacked left, right and center and have a huge base of C and C++. Sigh.
It's because they don't know or even understand what customer or customer service is, they automated pretty much everything and made sure on humans are involved. This is to drive profits and grow in scale and cut people/cost.

They use to be the standard for great software products (like gmail), not anymore all their products now suck, full of bugs and barely useable (pretty much reminds me of microsoft 10 yrs ago)

After Eric schmidt in the reigns, they've become one of most profit minded and evil companies of all.

This company needs a reboot with good leadership!

I don’t know much about prostate surgery. I presume it’s largely for people who have cancer. All I really know is that prostate cancer is very common among older men and is typically non lethal and probably should be done less? They should probably communicate the effects of prostate removal more than they do. Unnecessary surgeries done on underinformed patients is a different but serious problem.

The reversal rates are irrelevant. The fact is that it can be reversed whereas sterilization cannot, and frankly has much larger consequences than some body image issues. We don’t have a lot of studies on regret rates for young childless women because few young childless women get sterilized.

I followed the whole affair, and I don't recall him defending Epstein.

> I don't think she realized how old I was, but it makes no difference. We never really spoke again, because depraved indifference to others is horrifying.

Sorry, but this just reeks of virtue signaling.
same thing happens in the news - we assume due diligence has been satisfactorily (and honestly) conducted by publishers we hold in high esteem, and happily propagate without scrutiny, so long as it fits our preferred narrative
That is one of the use cases I would say are perfect for Vely. A combination of a low-level and high-level approach, which is often needed, and not just in this arena.

IOT (Internet Of Things) is a major application area for Vely. Obviously what you mentioned may fall into that. But also for example IOT-edge systems, where the communication with multiple near-devices converges, gets processed and then delivered to a cloud server for congregation.
You could say the same thing about car accidents, which are much more frequent, so I don’t know that it’s a disadvantage.
Isn't sending porn to minors already illegal? That should definitely be illegal, but I don't see why all spam needs to be criminalized to the level of cyberterrorism.

Scams are already illegal under anti-fraud laws.

Why should spam that isn't already criminalized (fraud/illegal porn distribution) be treated as a significant crime?
Survival online is getting precarious.

Due to the complexity, consolidation and integration of many services, they can effectively become dangerously mercurial and unaccountable monopoly utilities in some situations.

For one person, a given service can be easily replaced. But for another person, only that service has the right combination of features and is nearly irreplaceable. The service is effectively a monopoly, and if the service is critical, effectively a necessary utility.

This makes these auto-bans, with poor quality and limited time recourse, a landmine for anyone without a legal department or an army of willing upvotes to navigate.

An example: I got banned from a financial institution apparently because I tried using a temporary ID card to validate my identity, a week before I got a real card. (Stupid? In retrospect anyway.)

Unfortunately, due to a combination of local laws and variations in financial institution availability and services - I really, really needed an account with just that financial service.

No information on the problem. No recourse. No further ability to communicate with a human being.

For me that was like being banned from a necessary utility. It caused me, and several organizations and people that depend on me, a very significant amount of grief.
I don't understand how the city doesn't just burn down. If I created that in SimCity I can only imagine the raging firestorm that it would be in less than a year.
I was in cub/boy scouts as a kid. One of the first things I did when I got my handbooks was cover the existing binding in duct tape. I even managed to get beige tape to match the color of the boy scout one. Many of the other kids had books with pages falling out of the binding. Mine, on the other hand, held strong. About 20 years later, I still have the books in decent condition with their original duct tape bindings.
That people accept mirrors gifted for free is not strong evidence of their superior quality, when you get something for free you can make do with something that's not really what you want.

As an example, the MMT observatory was so happy with the "cobble six telescopes together" design foisted upon them by the donation of the mirrors that within 8 years of completion they were officially[1] reporting they hoped to replace them with a single mirror by 1993. Honestly I think the MMT is the only telescope I've heard of where the main mirror was so bad they opted to replace it with a completely different design within 20 years.

Anyway, the Hubble mirror has a different focal length than the KH-11 so can't have been used as is, it would have to be reground and polished for the new curvature and so it would have been essentially just a mirror blank.

To my American ears, it sounds like he still has the same accent!
Hah, this reminds of a security researcher a few years ago that was reporting malware that he couldn't research without infecting his other machines. I'm fuzzy on the details, but everyone wrote him off as a paranoid delusional and the incident was quickly swept under the rug. Makes me wonder if he found some sophisticated state sponsored stuff and got smeared to hush it up.

I mean realistically, we'd be naive to not expect that state-sponsored hackers have rooted machines somewhere in the supply chain (hardware, firmware and of course software). Is everyone being monitored all the time? No, but I'd stay away from electronics if I expected an intelligence agency was interested in me.
Well, the Xbox One wasn't hacked either. That was released in 2013. If it was going to be hacked, it likely would have already happened given that its most popular moment has come and gone.

Software locks themselves are nefarious. Is it the owner's car, or Tesla's?
> Car is sold twice since, and now has a new owner (my customer). It says 90, badged 90, has 90-type range.

When they bought the car from the 3rd party, did they buy it as a P60 or a P90? Did someone mis-represent the car when sold? Was it Tesla or the previous owner?

Was the badge on the back changed to P90? That doesn't sound like a 'mistake' Tesla would make when making a warranty repair.

Curial information here is missing. If the car was clearly a P60 that was accidentally unlocked P90 then I would consider that when buying the car that Tesla would lock it again when they noticed. If the previous owner misrepresented the car as a P90 and modified the badge then it's on them.
Who or what is Kaz?
This is a good perspective to keep in mind. IMO, regarding AI, we spend too much time talking about speculative but improbable superintelligence scenarios and dystopian worst-case outcomes and not enough about the good that a well-made AI can do for us.
The Green Revolution Is Fueled by 40k Trafficked Congo Child Slaves
I get the idea behind it, but the numbers have to make sense. You forgo revenue now for more revenue later, taking into account revenue now can be reinvested and SaaS companies typical grow really fast. If you undersell by 20%, you don't have that 20% right now to spend on more sales/engineers.

If the customer is really going be happy with 30K worth eventually, get them there now instead of 18 months later.
If I don't go into management, and assuming there are absolutely no more cost of living adjustments or changes to how much my pay scale pays, my salary will cap out around 150k a year.

If I go into management, whether it's technical leadership or as a normal manager, then I could cap out around 176k a year.

I don't recall off the top of my head how much that translates to per month with pension.

It would also help if there was a standard header on the mainboard that you can use to verify all of the flash chips when the computer is powered off to minimize the amount of the computer you have to trust.

While some may argue that this header would be the perfect place to install a implant, doing so is vastly harder than popping some manufacturers computer. Also, since the header will be specifically checked by some users, it becomes a very risky place to install an implant.
That is a very interesting suggestion. The API underneath is already well-defined and documented in code. Something to consider for sure.

He did, yes, as I thought I'd acknowledged.

But not with respect to his acting career and therefore his accent, as referenced in the comment I was replying to.

At that point in his life he was definitely not starting from nothing (though he was starting from a good position he had built for himself from an earlier nothing point).

At the point of starting out in the film industry, he also had the benefit of his previous career giving him exposure to the complexities of contract negotiations and other such. They are not doubt a little different for Mr Universe compared to Mr Action Actor, but there would have been enough common ground for the experience to be useful to him.
It simply doesn't. Sure number for 60+ cohort is slightly higher than for others, but don't forget it includes everyone over 60, not just 60-69 age range.

In 2020, there were 74.6M Americans over 60 and 41.5M in 50-59 age range, for example.

Per 1000 people, 60+ people seem to be scammed less than any other age group, but yes, individual scams are bigger, for the simple reason i named: they have more cash than others to begin with.
This is an argument against taxonomic classification, not categories per se. In Wikipedia, pages can belong to multiple categories, and categories can have multiple parent categories. It's more complex than single hierarchical taxonomies, but it's also a lot more expressive.

That expressiveness is something I find is missing from a lot of tag systems. Most have no structure at all, when even a little structure makes things a lot more convenient. At the very least, I want hierarchical tags. Let things I tag "physics" show up in a search for "science!"

(I think most systems don't have structured tags because it raises a lot of implementation and UI questions. How do you prevent cycles? Do searches go one layer deep or are they fully transitive?)

See also the first comment in TFA:

> I maintained the largest collection of dishes served by restaurants for more than 10 years. [...] 70% of the metadata was captured via tags, manually added or automatically extracted from plain text. Our clients notified us that some of the entries were of poor quality: for instance some dishes were tagged with "vegan" and "beef" at the same time.
I recently had some imaging done as well, and they gave me a DVD with the images. Now I just have to find a DVD player.

As a hiring manager, I've found entry level roles to be the hardest to fill well. No metric is a guarantee of a quality candidate. I loathe whiteboard programming, but for entry level jobs it's at least a signal that they're putting in the work to figure out how to be successful within a structure.

Beyond that, I want a narrative for the candidate's career...both where they've been and where they want to go. It helps me figure out if their development goals will be a good fit and what their experience will bring to the team. I've run into a lot of candidates whose careers seem to be guided simply by "I work for the highest bidder" and they don't end up being the best on the team...nor the most enduring.

I can see how this might equate to having the "wrong experience." I hope candidates who wait to apply for that big dream job (or don't get it) at least are taking jobs that prepare them for it. Barring that, I hope they're finding other ways to gain experience. We can't always choose the jobs we want, but I hope everyone is figuring out how to build towards it.
Interesting. Never saw the spam numbers transition either when travelling or when living in a new area long term.

I only ever get spoofed number calls from the area code of my cell phone number. Works out pretty well because I only lived there in passing 12 years ago, so never wonder if I'm missing a real call by ignoring them.

Could it be apps sharing location info?

> So both spy satellites and telescopes use mirrors focused to infinity.

That's just not what focal length means in the context of mirrors, the focussing happens by moving the secondary not by re-grinding the entire primary mirror or whatever it is you are imagining.
I generally enjoy Dan Luu’s advice, but IMO it’s best approached with the understanding that his professional and social network is somewhat of a bubble that doesn’t reflect the average person.

Specifically, he cites a statistic that 50% of the people with “no experience” he knows are getting ML and other such jobs at Big Tech companies. In this case, I think he’s likely pre-filtering his sample set to people with significant programming/math or other such experience.

I do a lot of mentoring of college grads. If anyone shows an interest in Big Tech I always encourage them to apply and help them get the process started. However, it is not my experience that 50% of your average (or even above average as mentoring programs tend to select for the more ambitious) CS grads are walking into something like a Big Tech ML job with no relevant experience.

Always apply if you’re curious. If nothing else, you will learn the interview process and see where you need to improve for next time. However, don’t feel bad if you don’t get the dream job right away. Most people really do have to pivot up through some more average jobs first before landing the Big Tech jobs with huge paychecks.

I produce drum & bass music among other genres, it's radically different than other genres of music because it historically pays attention to deep sub bass and massive sound systems.

We (and many others) used to run events in nightclubs and we built sound systems that reverberated everything in the room. It was impossible to not feel the rhythm as drinks shook off the bar if you didn't hang onto them. Everyone loved the vibe, but the coolest thing I noticed was that I made a lot of good friends from nearby Gallaudet University, who I didn't know were deaf until we spoke outside of the club... We slowly realized that Gallaudet students represented a rapidly increasing audience within events at the time as well because of the favorable party experience of deeper sound systems in comparison to other nightclubs, and specifically because of Drum & Bass Music's rhythmic depth.

They were able to read my lips flawlessly within the club at peak volume, and to differentiate songs literally based on the rhythmic patterns and bass reverberations they felt from the air pressure the sound system created on their skin... The connection is that hearing people actually went to the events for the same feeling, they just never realized the experience wasn't primarily about using our ears... It was truly an amazing time.

Many of the people I met and work with from that era are still good friends years later, and we always talk about how that vibe is missing from life now. Music is life.

Maybe. Maybe not.

If I sold you my car, and I wanted my stereo but forgot it, the first sale doctrine covers the whole thing as delivered. If I was to go to the car, while in your ownership and possession, and attempt to remove the stereo, you'd call the cops for vehicular theft.

That's because it's covered under first sale doctrine. And being a vehicle (unlike most other goods) has an attached ownership registered with the state in the forms of a registration.

Previously, that was simple. I sell you X; you pay agreed price; we trade green paper for thing. Now, with remotely tied crap, people have no say on their properly owned things. That 3rd party who controls the software can do whateverthefuck they want - and that's because copyright and software erodes actual ownership.

In reality, this "correction" on Tesla's part is no different if I decided to keep a hole in my previous company's servers, and then "reach in" for extra-legal 'modifications'. This should be a federal crime, including interstate commerce clause, wire fraud, and hacking. People should go to prison for this kind of thing. - and I'm talking about C levels, not ground-level techs.
Seattle has a great many of them but the lines for them to run on only exist in certain place, granted they are the densest places. But running that pair of electric lines everywhere is a big infrastructure project for any city.
Sure, it just seems the technical chops are way down the list of priorities...
Could be either/or.
I wonder if there is some nice fine print somewhere that they only sold a "licence" to use the car. Not the car itself... Kinda like software has...
