Someone might also propose "HN for Crypto so we don't get bashed in every thread" or "HN for Tesla fanboys so we can talk without getting hate".

I would on the other hand appreciate more widely targeted articles on HN, instead of dozens of "Here's the latest new language" threads.
Wish I had this much tact. I usually abstain from saying anything or respond reflexively, which never helps.

Great job communicating here.
Trickle down economics?
1) There have been stories of N26 customers who are locked out of their accounts, or had their devices stolen and lost their funds to thieves and the bank refused to reverse the transaction.

2) No, regulation (or the lack of it) has nothing to do with it.

3) No one is arguing for the end of regulation.

That sounds odd, given that in most(?) countries businesses only pay taxes on their profits.
You can get some cheap storage from Hetzner and also back up there. With their !sane! egress transfer costs compared to the lunacy that plagues Google, AWS etc, accessing the data wont ever be problem either.
That's exactly what it means. But if you didn't know that you can look at the last oscilloscope screenshot; as you can see, it's set to 200 nanoseconds per division, and it's pumping out bit transitions quite precisely every 50 nanoseconds, and 10BaseT uses Manchester encoding, so that gives you 10 megabits per second.

In the last two years I've been committing just 16-24 hours/week of actual sit-down-at-desk work to the projects/contracts I've worked on. Despite not working 40 hours, I hit all my deliverables and leave my clients very happy. No secret sauce - I just focus on getting deliverables done and religiously avoid "stuff-and-fluff".

That to say; recruiters, team leads et al have little idea of how workload converts to time. If you're measuring hours you've already lost. The only thing that matters is output value.

People won't switch to on-prem because if Google and some other providers screw up, there still are many other cloud providers. For K8 they could have gone with anyone from Digitalocean to Linode. Actually, they could have already replicated their cluster to more than one provider to use as failover in such a case. (assuming that they were using K8)
If you copy paste the quote you pasted here into Google instead you'll find it's a meme from Arrested Development.
"The low number of female applicants in tech" is something completely different to the current topic.

The current topic is about having a separate HN with the majority of the community just being women.
No not a bus, but maybe they could join together like a bus for long movements in the same direction.
The longer ago it was, the more the rules of an era of music get codified. You can run the four-part chorale rules like an algorithm.

But it's not just that - prior to Beethoven, composers were seen as not having some internal genius, but were praised by their ability to channel some kind of divine source of music - this view makes music pretty homogeneous for any era. I see a similar (arguably more extreme) outlook in many subgenres of EDM, the music isn't for stroking the producers ego but serves a purpose, the best can make something engaging in a hyperspecific style.

Coming from the increasing individuality in romantic era, 20th century explicitly tried to break those rules and one group explored ideas from folk music (Bartok, Stravinsky, Debussy) and another tried to form new ones from first principles (Schoenberg). In my opinion the latter group mostly failed - maybe they assumed rules come before music, instead of rules being written afterwards to describe music?

I think the "music theory" that will come to define our current era is the same kind of post-modernism that defined literature and art - bands that use different genres like people used to use different instruments, music that explores how rules relate to finished product (Serialism), how fundamentally different recorded music is compared to live performances, sampling, or the exploring artifacts of recording/production/codecs (Alvin Luciers I am sitting in a room/Steve Reichs tape loops/Paul Lanskys Idle Chatter, respectively).

What these all have in common is stepping outside of working in a singular "music theory" and instead working with "music theories". I like this, but not everyone does - this way of thinking about music can become detached from the actual musical experience leading to something like Punk, which then gets quickly subsumed by the thing it was rebelling against.
Do you think Google et-al have done a good job of keeping their noses out of your business? In fact, I would challenge you to compare privacy in the EU vs the US.

Opinions on what should be done have more credibility when based in observable reality rather than blind ideology.
HN is decidedly not "for anyone". It's an outgrowth of US tech VC culture and it has significant biases inherited from that (specifically a tech (right-)libertarian political leaning and an overrepresentation of white and Asian men from wealthy backgrounds).

It's literally the Paradox of Tolerance at play. Contrast Twitter with its "free speech alternatives" and then consider that Twitter is actually historically intentionally hands-off when it comes to content moderation.

I agree that an "HN for women" likely wouldn't solve any of these problems as by that description alone it sounds like the "girlboss feminism" equivalent and would likely inherit many of its problems. But I would also argue that if you try to distill the problematic aspects out of HN it ceases to be HN and you should really just ask about more inclusive tech news communities rather than a pinker version of the orange site.
It sounds more like they looked both ways, they saw a car, they made eye contact and the driver gestured for them to cross, then when they began to cross the driver ran them over. And now they’re getting advice to never cross streets as a pedestrian. Sound advice can also be victim blaming.

> Even modzero themselves admitted that the vulnerability is not of great severity

They're wrong. It's not at all uncommon for companies to give employees admin, and privilege escalation tends to be easy on Windows anyway.

> CrowdStrike has no obligation in providing them with free trials or such in verifying a vulnerability fix

Sure, and modzero has no obligation to responsibly disclose, and now here we are. I'm sure they'll work it out if this gets noticed.

My first direct experience with CrowdStrike was the announcement of VENOM back in 2015 [1], which they coordinated with a few friendlies like FireEye but left most of us in the dark about (I was at Palo Alto Networks, not exactly a small company). Looks like they still struggle with this stuff.

In fact it's almost exactly the opposite. Rather than the supply-side economics which trickle-down focuses on, this sounds like a clear example of demand-side economics. By improving the income of some consumers in a community, they are able to buy more goods and services that they wouldn't have otherwise, thus improving the local economy altogether.

> outside working hours

Working hours are relative. Our support routinely gets awoken at like 3am because someone in Singapore, where one of our larger customers has outsourced their IT to, just started their day and decided to follow up on a case.

Though I'll agree that weekends should be considered off-limits regardless.
I live in Kazakhstan which is country without trees. I never saw eink price tags. They're paper. I doubt it has anything with trees. Paper is too cheap.
Try digitalocean. Their offerings are competitive, with a fraction of the price. With that kind of low cost, you can have failovers elsewhere. Like Linode, or even Hetzner.
Not sure, I think it may be simply a good wild gene pool.
Pretty neat. I wonder how much noise those lines can handle.

> Additionally, the fact that the code in question is hosted on GitHub (U.S.), a site owned by Microsoft (U.S.), and specifically how it came to be in Debian (U.S.) (started by Ian Murdock (U.S.) and assets held by Software in the Public Interest, Inc. (U.S.)) makes the U.S. an appropriate counterexample.

That is indeed useful context and answers my question. My snark in the original still stands as it happens elsewhere on HN regularly. In some cases it may be an assumption on the commenter that anyone English-speaking is American, everything else is an exception and should be stated as such. It's obvious to see how that occurs spontaneously but it's not healthy or inclusive. Much like heteronormativity.

Personal attacks? Tirade? Come on, I already explicitly mentioned I am not implying bad faith on your part. Neither am I saying you are deceptive, just that your original comment had a deceptive framing, intentional or not. Frankly I'm not sure "deceptive" is really the best word here but nothing better really comes up without starting to write paragraphs. But here we are.

I don't have any beef with you or the US per se. I just want some autonomy and human rights for myself and others. Maybe even a fair and equal society. I am a firm believer that language plays a big part in shaping our view of reality, not only vice versa. I appreciate when others call me out in a similar way - we all have our blind spots.
It's the New Yorker. They're not going to pass up an opportunity to bash Trump.
Was Trump a "Fortunate Son" during the Vietnam War? Most likely he was.

Was he a "Fortunate Son" during the 2016 election, with all of the establishment Republican party, 90% of the media, big tech etc against him? It's arguable that he was not.
Well spotted that they're simple powers; riffing on that idea, if that is the aesthetic behind it, I'd guess that they're supposed to be the same base or the same power, so either (4^4)/(3^4) or (16^2)/(9^2)?

Edit:

Or perhaps (((4^2)/(3^3))^2)^1 and then it feels like an ancient aesthetic-precursor to Euler's identity?
What a bizarre post - the "old" manufacturers have pretty much all released excellent EV cars across the market, many better than Tesla offerings in many ways.

Why the wierd goalpost moving of having to do this 20 years ago?
They did do it 20 years ago. Actually, 25 years ago. GM's EV1 was a car well ahead of its time, even with a decent range, but then it mysteriously disappeared.

This is covered in the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car" (on Amazon).

So it's not like Elon Musk paved the way for electric cars - he just faced fewer headwinds. And let us not forget, he did not actually found Tesla, he acquired it. The company also barely made it if not for government help at the time of dire need.

Elon Musk, being the storyteller that he is, said once that he was drinking alone at a table in a club (who does that?) all sad due to the state of affairs at Tesla. It did not look like the company was going to make it. Then he was approached by his model future 2nd ex-wife, and the rest was history.

> For GR, it was the Michelson-Morley experiment, which showed that the speed of light is constant

The Michelson-Morley experiment did not show that the speed of light is constant, that was known for some time before; and it and was the basis for Special Relativity, not General Relativity. The Michelson-Morley experiment showed that there is no "frame dragging" - that, if there exists a "luminiferous aether", it is not itself moved by the movement of the Earth through it, as would be expected for any normal substance.

General Relativity was necessary as a theory to bring back gravity (and describe acceleration) in the context of SR (since SR requires the speed of light to be constant and finite, but Newtonian gravity is instant). It was experimentally confirmed 42 years after the Michelson-Morley experiment, by confirming the gravitational lens effect in a solar eclipse.

> I think string theory is different. There are no observations that show the existence of loose ends, only a desire to have a quantum theory of gravity, or even a Grand Unified Theory

The lack of a quantum theory of gravity is a huge gap in our understanding of the world, not a simple desire. Quantum mechanics makes obviously wrong predictions when adding gravitational effects (even worse if trying to account for curved space-time). General relativity makes wrong predictions about the behavior of elementary particles. So, we are left today without a model of how the world works - and the precise missing piece is "quantum gravity".

Of course, it may well turn out that in fact we need a completely new theory that would replace both QM and GR - but what we know for sure is that QM and GR as they are right now are not correct, and the most obvious incongruity is quantum gravity.

You're right about a GUT though - that would be nice to have from a mathematical beauty point of view, but it's not in any way required, unlike quantum gravity.

The modem supports it just fine, but the carriers all block phones that aren't on their "approved" list (i.e., phones that they sell). I took a trip to the US earlier this year with my European Motorola G9 Plus. My Belgian sim roamed onto T-Mobile's network just fine but charged €13/MB; a T-Mobile SIM next to it worked fine for about 2 hours and then refused to connect ever again. This resulted in a delightful conversation with a support agent who told me without any sense of confusion that my phone physically did not have the hardware necessary to connect to T-Mobile's network while looking at my screen which read "Mobile Vikings - Roaming (T-Mobile)". AT&T wouldn't connect either; I ended up just going without for two weeks.
In many countries, small businesses pay taxes on gross income. Basically sales tax.
It's simple - you give them notice during local working hours (i.e. not the weekend), that way the customer has time to rectify, and if they don't you can take action and have proof of warning them of the consequences of ignoring the notification. If they are having payment issues, it affords both parties time to discuss the issues and see what can reasonably done. It's called customer service - something that Google clearly struggles with.

Sure they are eInk? On Carrefour here they have had plain old LCD ones for ages now. It looks like e-ink, but on close inspection it is definitely not (e.g. mirrorish background color). Polarized glasses also help detection :)

And that is what I do agree e-Ink is overrated. People have trouble distinguishing it from reflective LCDs (remember the Pebble).
On the one hand, in this case I don't agree with the person you replied to who thinks there would be great market demand for this (at least at the price points currently possible).

On the other hand... there are plenty of things in the world which could have lots of demand for if they were sold, or if they were invented and then sold, quite often I think of something, or see someone else's idea, where I think that's the case. But even if I were the most entrepreneurial entrepreneur imaginable, I couldn't start a business around every single thing I form an opinion on it having the potential to succeed.

Acting as if someone must be willing (and knowledgable enough both about how to make the thing in question and how to market it to get kickstarter traction etc etc) otherwise their opinion that it has a potential market fit is somehow invalid, just feels... mean spirited.

Really not a clue.

I guess a major indicator of progress in this market will be Amazon releasing a colour kindle (if they even want to bother), as that will both indicate prices and performance has become "good enough", and be a further driver on both.

Until then, a $2200 32" screen with a 2-second refresh time is a curiosity more than a product. I think, so far, epaper/eink has hit some sort of wall with it not having quite as many use-cases as people assumed.

It not that simple. The same theory say that government should spend more money during recessions since that send more money into the hands of citizens, thus increasing peoples ability to consume more and drive up the economy. However, by doing so the amount of money in the system increase and thus you get inflation, forcing the government to spend even more money.

This doesn't happen every time as is demonstrated by this study, but history has plenty of example where it has and hasn't worked. The open question is to figure out when it work and why it doesn't work in other situations.
