I'm literally doing it in my life, not in this thread.

> No, you're making your original mistake again.

Technology is almost never 100% dominate, when we are debating 'VHS vs betamax' we don't say 'I don't think VHS won over beta-max because some people still use betamax'. Of course FCEV trucks will exists that's not a question really worth talking about, its trivial.

If we are having a quality discussion in terms of technology the debate is about witch of these technology will more fundamentally and systematically transform our society. If we are talking a "VHS vs betamax" the answer is clear and everybody in the world, other then you apparently, understand what we are talking about. And in this case, I have made and argument that battery electric will win the waste majority use cases.

And your response is to quibble with the way I'm formulating thing, even when you clearly know that I don't mean no FCEV truck will exist in the future, rather then making any real argument. Bye.
You got lucky. Somehow you managed to avoid any one of those retailers being hacked and ending up in an email dump. Somehow you also avoided any website that does marketing or promotional emails (idk how?) Many companies put it in their ToS that they will send promotional emails by using their service. I'd wager next to no one wants a marketing email but businesses still delude themselves into thinking their customers won't hate them for it.
There are also more two-person households, so perhaps part of the change is young people not living with their parents for so long? Or perhaps it is old people living alone. I don’t think I have very good priors about this. I think the kind of people I know are not going to be a great cross section of US society (and I suspect this is true for basically anyone too).
There is a web api for this:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt...

There is also a proper macOS API for this, which they are skirting using by using this hack.
For history's sake, the prior experience of import/export controls, is that US firms use them to achieve market successes trading with what I am going to call against my better judgement "the enemy"

Exhibit A: Europeans banned from selling digital phone exchanges to USSR. IBM/Rolm get a special exclusion from the export ban, Sell digital phone exchanges to the USSR.

Not that I don't think the specific thing here (Gas Turbines for Gazprom) doesn't have some immediate relevancy, as does Gallium Arsnide power VLSI. I just observe that when its economically beneficial to the US in a trade competition (not war) with Europe or Asia, they will make releases to this rule, in the favour of a US enterprise.
Title on HN, "Email is Async" and the authors first header states the opposite. ... ask yourself, what's the author selling and move along.
> useful than per-day numbers

Useful for what exactly? You're basically accusing the company of inflating their numbers (??) as if they are deliberating lying about their scale.
Maybe they are arguing that GenZ should commute to the past? That way they can spend their 2022 dollars on good value 1970s products?
How does this rhyme with the fact that many countries have well functioning, tax financed healthcare systems?
Oh look they rediscovered RAID 0+1

Firstly, association is not causation ... of the 300+ million people within the USofA a great many have suffered haert attacks, fits, infection, and car accidents within mere days of having a hair cut.

Secondly .. so you do not have any specific instance of the event you claim as commonplace?

Not one concrete example?
I can attest to the unstable handling of '+' suffixed emails. UPS allowed me to ship a package as guest with myemail+ups@gmail.com but wouldn't let me create an account with the same email ID.
I had no way to track the package pickup onwards.
It definitely didn't seem like there was any policy in place to deal with shipping a customer's items from a store to their home. If there/are policies in place they certainly don't feel consistent – and that's a problem IMO. There was also a pretty big shift when Ahrendts "revamped" the stores in 2016. Apple stores morphed from a convenient place to buy stuff and get support to a place where you go so Apple can further monetize you.

To the sibling comment: I've seen much worse approaches to safety stuff at other companies. Go buy a used steering wheel with a potentially defective Takata airbag for a car. Now try to get that air bag replaced or verified safe.

Or go buy a Coway air purifier. Notice how the fan is off balance and there are a bunch of complaints about these things periodically exploding? Try to get Coway to fix or replace it… lol.
I think you took nothing from my point.

The way you describe it, I would think your "route" is just one long stretch on a single street. In almost every normal case, I may not know there's an accident at one intersection until I turn onto the street two blocks away.

Also, opening Google or Apple maps with traffic mode turned on takes maybe half a minute at most, which is about the amount of time it takes my car to finish its cold start warm-up before I can start driving.
There are no true open platforms. And we are trending towards them being more closed, with Apple leading the charge. For the good of yourself, and future generations, you should not financially support companies that lock things down.

Especially not for pointless goal posts/metrics like whether or not it has a fan.
Really? I remember a thread on reddit about the HBO series Chernobyl. A lot of posters who lived through it commented. One I recall said that root canals were free in the USSR, but you didn't get any anesthetic. Another commented that the hospital stay was free, but you had to bribe the nurses to take care of you.

Having had a root canal myself, it's "no thanks" to free communist health care.
>Typical home owners who buy a thermostat at Home Depot or cyclists who buy a tail light at a bike shop are unlikely to even know what digikey is, let alone order a replacement

Yes, I know. I said this exact thing above.

The parent said these devices used "custom batteries", implying that Honeywell et al were custom-designing and manufacturing their own special nonstandard batteries just for these applications. This is incorrect, and needed to be corrected.
Welcome to the party! My first image was also a total failure, it can only get better from here ;) Prepare to spend a lot of time reading before you start to make sense of things.
The more times I see legal personhood assigned or ascribed to collective entities, or even non-thinking entities like code, the more I think a huge mistake was made inventing the shield of entity-hood for corporations. I do know that this, and the US Bankruptcy laws have empowered a lot of "try again" outcomes, but this is very definitely weigh up the downsides vs upsides stuff.
Is this problem worth solving? What can I do to create the most impact?
The US cost far less before the government got involved in it.
He did, but it was out of AppleCare too. The kicker was that the problem had begun to manifest while still within the three year window, so there was documented history. It was most of a year out of AppleCare when it failed the last time and they decided to cover it as goodwill.
The birthday problem is different because there are 365 possibilities and every individual can only have 1 out of 365 states. For DNA there are over 300 million variants in the human genome and you can have different combinations of these variants. As far as matching 9 of 13 loci, thats not surprising to me nor concerning. If you left a sample at a crime scene it would match all 13 loci. Today the FBI uses at least 20 loci.

On top of that, merely being a dna match does not mean you are going to jail. You need corroborating evidence just like how finger prints are used. The odds of a false positive that 1) is a dna match and 2) was in the right place at the right time and lacks and alibi and has a potential motive for the crime must be a trillion to one.

"Gooble App Engine" made me laugh.

I'm imagining some kind of knock-off brand cloud provider.
Cassandra is written in Java and while there are a lot of tricks to optimize it there are limits.

While C++ does have an advantage of raw performance it's ScyllaDB's seastar implementation that helps a lot. Think of every core in the machine as a node so there is no context switching and better use of the cpu cache. More than that the ScyllaDB team are extremely performance focused something that I can't say for Cassandra
They never actually fixed the bug.

Notice the word "roots" in "security.enterprise_roots.enabled"?

The PKI hierarchy is more than just "roots". A tree is more than just a stump.[1]

No amount of begging or pleading with the Mozilla dev team ever succeeded in convincing them to read the Microsoft documentation for how PKI works in Windows.

There's a set of constants in the Win32 headers that defines the various certificate trust stores in Windows. You know, "machine", "machine policy", "user", and "user policy" multiplied out to make combinations with "root", "intermediate", "crl", etc...

Over 20 years they have slowly, one at a time added a random subset of them. RANDOM. Just... one... at... a time... in some unfathomable order. It was mind-blowing to watch this unfold.

The simplest thing they could have done was simply support all of the stores by copy-pasting the whole block of constants and writing a for loop across all of them. Done. Fixed. Close ticket.

But noooo... got to keep those tickets open for decades and decades by making sure that whatever is there remains permanently incomplete.

It boggles the mind.

[1] As a random example of how this can be broken in Firefox is that it is unable to use LDAP to load an intermediate CA certificate. The use of LDAP is common on large Windows-based enterprise networks, because it's the default. It's trivial to "push" these intermediate CA certs into the local trust store of every machine using policy, at which point the protocol support no longer matters. Firefox could have simply picked up the certificate from the local store. It already has the code for doing this for Root certs, but refuses to use identical code for Intermediate certs.
> This info gives us an interesting opportunity to estimate the rate at which Signal is adding new users. They've been very tight-lipped (understandably) about their usage stats but anecdotally they seem to be an increasingly common presence on my friends' phones, even the non-techies.

I am assuming US or Germany.

I can't remember which thing it was exactly but there was a huge privacy scare in the US at some point which got people to switch in droves to Signal. Maybe the WhatsApp T&C change?

German's have always been more privacy-aware (hence they have a much bigger cash payment culture than almost anywhere else in North-West Europe) and it seems like a steady trickle is switching over.

But for example here in The Netherlands, I'd say 99% of people is on WhatsApp, 10% is on Telegram, and 0.1% is on privacy-focussed messaging services.
If you care about performance and compatibility, you prefer Chrome. If you really care about ad blocking, Firefox should be very important to you like a year from now, if Google doesn't retreat before they even lock v2 extensions out. If they back off, what's the reason you have to prefer Firefox?
The better way to look at this is "Chrome doesn't offer what Firefox does" and "Firefox doesn't offer what Chrome does". That's why there's space. Some people will settle on less compatibility for better performance, battery-life and privacy.
Even if the first generation is not cost effective, neither was the first generation of wind and solar.

However we have 28 years until 2050 and for really deep carbonation having advanced nuclear would be really awesome. Not to mention other benefits like radio isotopes, medical isotopes, rational solution to the removal of the current waste, a backup option in case a volcano disrupts solar on a large scale and so on.

We are not doomed just because not every single $ of spending is going into more solar panels.
Just because it's "free" doesn't mean you aren't paying plenty for it.
You probably want to stay upset and explain why they are. I feel working around the issue is counter to the point.
If person A is allowed to do a thing with no repercussions, it is reasonable for a person B who faces unusually serious repercussions for a similar thing to point out the differential treatment.

Especially when the differential treatment is so commonplace and has a very obvious illegitimate reason, such as having membership in the legally-favored political party instead of the legally-disfavored one.
It’s not conspirational to assume that advertising and marketing is part of forming the status quo, by virtue of those fields literally exploiting human weaknesses to do so. If they simply reflected what consumer want, not only would they not have a reason to exist, but if they did they wouldn’t need to resort to endless amounts of FOMO to get you to buy Season 329 of their Battle Pass.
Btw, what I want to do is I found there are some spammers nowdays, they will publish tens of thousands articles per day from day 1, and amazing their websites can survive Google algorithm for months or even years, before totally wrecked. This strategy works well, so I am eager to see what patterns they takes, how they built the site from start, and why they won't get punished.

The US has a lot of immigrants, so I wouldn't count it as a country with a low percentage of bilinguals.

Sounds like the goldsmiths tale. Good catch on the timing.
>There are batteries special enough that I can't pick one up at Walmart

You can't pick up a standard 18650 battery at Walmart either, but that doesn't make it some kind of special battery. It's bog-standard. Availability at Walmart has nothing to do with something is standard or even common. Brake pads for some random mass-market 2015 model year car (GM, Toyota, etc.) are nothing special or difficult to find either, but you're not going to find them at Walmart.
The bar is the same as with human music - if people pick it on Spotify without realizing it’s AI generated with zero human involvement then it’s good enough.
TVs have been continuously better and cheaper in real terms since their invention - any cross-subsidy from smart TV ads is very much a "last five years" phenomenon I think.
I worked with Phil back in the day at Harris Semi on their RTX architecture. AFAIK it was used on a couple of space probes due to small size, consistent code execution, and (I think) the ability to offer a rad-hard design for space.

Forth was the language of choice. I wish it could come back, because it was such a neat mind exercise.
That's an interesting perspective, certainly not one that would have immediately come to mind. Does this pattern have a name?

I should think that after all these centuries we had learned to listen to the cranky physicists.
The truth is, though, that aws and the other cloud providers that have more than hosted storage and compute, are building their own “operating system” to build these systems.

We Unix graybeards may be used to xargs, grep and wget. The next generation of developers are learning how to construct pipelines from step functions, sqs, lambda and s3 instead. And coming as someone who really enjoys Unix tooling, the systems designed with these new paradigms will be more scalable, observable and maintainable than the shell scripts of yore.
The down payment is probably more significant than what your comment lets on. While I haven’t experienced this, it’s not uncommon to hear young people complain that their rent is more expensive than a lease and there’s nothing to be done about it because they can’t afford the down payment.

> Firefox is fighting an uphill battle against default browsers

That's not an argument. Firefox made all of its share back in the day by being better than IE even though IE was everywhere on Windows computers.
I don’t know if you’re thinking of it but there’s this site called shadowstats which claims to calculate CPI/inflation with the old method and shows totally wild inflation numbers but the way it actually works is that the guy who runs the site takes regular CPI and adds in adjustments to his liking to get inflation numbers that he thinks look right.

My understanding is that you get pretty similar numbers with either methodology.

See more here for example: https://fullstackeconomics.com/no-the-real-inflation-rate-is...
> Why should companies that build products with serverside components be required . . . ?

Because consumers should be able to make demands in return for adoption?

In a world less completely asymmetrically imbalanced toward capital, consumers would have a say in the products offered them, not merely the option to purchase (or not) rights to use technology as-is.
The Cha Cha Slide Is Turing Complete
Also here's a emacs lisp snippet for window switching that I never managed to publish but I just can't use emacs without it. With it I press super+left and super+right to cycle windows such that if I'm on a non-asterisk buffer, it cycles only through such kind of buffer (and scratch), but if I'm on an asterisk* buffer (except scratch), it cycles only through asterisk buffers, skipping some bad buffers. And super+up goes to a non-asterisk buffer, and super+down goes to an asterisk buffer:

https://github.com/dlight/dotemacs/blob/master/bindings.el#L...

This is brittle-looking but I didn't know how to test if a buffer is special other than checking the buffer name (I'm sure there's a better way). Anyway I kept looking if emacs already had this, but apparently not

Maybe someone will think it is useful so:

(defun keys (a)

"<s-down>" previous-star-buffer

(interactive)
(switch-to-buffer (other-buffer)))

(defun matching-buffer ()
;(string-match "^\\*.*\\*$" (buffer-name)))
(string-match "^\\*.*$" (buffer-name)))

(defun my-next-buffer ()

(if (matching-buffer)
(next-star-buffer)
(next-regular-buffer)))

(not (equal "*scratch*" (buffer-name))))
(next-regular-buffer-or-scratch)))

"Mark my words". This is Mozilla. They're inevitably going to crash and burn, and I say this as a pissed-off Firefox user.
Looking at rate of change is a quite efficient way to go about this. Kudos to the author.
The consumer price index (CPI) is untrustworthy. It incorporates adjustments into things like technology that don't actually reflect utility. For example, if you look at the section on "Computers, peripherals, and smart home assistants" you'll note a nearly 300-fold decrease in the consumer price of computers from 1997 to 2022. How the heck does that work? Computers today are cheaper than in 1997 but surely not 300 times cheaper.

It turns out that they use a "quality adjustment" that takes into account the relative performance of a modern computer compared to previous years. The bulk of the 300-fold decrease in price is due to the fact that modern computers are many times faster than those made in the 1990's. But there's a problem with that: a consumer doesn't get hundreds of times more utility out of a computer. You can't have a hundred people in your house sit there and work on the same computer and achieve the productivity scaling which would warrant this adjustment.

In reality, you're paying for one computer an amount which is nominally within an order of magnitude of what you would have paid in 1997. So this adjustment has the effect of drastically skewing the CPI statistic in this sector. Furthermore, computers have only grown in importance. What was a luxury in 1997 has become a necessity today. Families often have multiple computers. Parents may work from home and use their personal computer for paying bills, applying for jobs, doing taxes, budgeting, or applying for government services, while children may use their computers for doing schoolwork, research, playing games. Everyone uses their computers and devices for communications. However, none of these tasks (besides playing games) has markedly improved or been made more efficient by the technological advances in the computers themselves.
I don’t care about health like a lot of people do. I go out to restaurants, I meet people, I take public transportation for other things, I’m already putting myself at risk, office isn’t going to change that.

However, this is the third year I’ve been working from home, including starting a new job where I didn’t know anyone. None of it has had any impact on my productivity and the companies I’ve worked for have only seen record profits. I am not commuting for hours every day and wasting my time and money while doing so. Nah. This is about fighting back to the tyranny of upper management who have nothing better to do than make poor decisions that affect other people negatively.
