We could spend the whole day in this pointless display of "my dad is better than your dad", but can we just skip it please?

Having lived in the US and now living in Germany for over 9 years, I have no intention to leave. But this idea that "regulations" could fix the consumer hostility of Big tech is naive at best and damaging at worst. To assume that the differences between US and Europe are due to lack of regulations is a terrible mistake of reversing cause-and-effect. Cultural differences between and Europe can explain a lot better why things work different, while "regulations" assume that people are just automatons who can do nothing but follow orders established by some higher authority.
>No it wasn't. Tremendous coordination and force went into pushing that line.

There is no need for coordination when Corbyn did nothing but feed the news cycle with stupid acts and dumb hot takes.

He also directly supported and appeared on stage with people who are anti semites and just did everything possible to be guilty by association.

>And Britain is on the brink of blackouts without Russian oil, thanks to the dependence on oil fostered by Tories and their mates. A left, pro environment government would not have been so dependent in the first place.
Being on stage with known anti semites, supporting known anti semites (for other reasons), appearing on Iranian state TV and blurbing one hot take after another.

The UK reliance on Russian fuels was less than 3% of total imports the vast majority of which were through mixed fuel imports from the EU.
There were no direct import contracts between the UK and Russia.
yes.. gosh - that's all in the past though.. this sort of thing wouldn't happen now.. right?
A rare, fascinating case where an enormous marketing campaign to make people want something that they didn't actually want _failed_.
Lunar month is a little over 29 days on average. And most lunar calendars do not align with solar year but rather have leap months added. E.g. Hebrew calendar [1].

For an added twist this changeover occurred in different years, at different times in different countries .. and not always with the same number of days difference.

Good Times.
We're not remotely close to being there yet, and there isn't even a clear path. So we should not act like a miraculous technological invention is gonna fall from the sky and save us.
100" was about the minimum practical size for a 4k plasma TV at the time, which is perhaps a bridge too far.

I think the automotive temperature range goes up to 150°C in the motor, and 85°C in passenger compartment. So it is already possible.

However the bigger the temperature range, the bigger the chip price likely. So likely why consumer electronics are less resistant to environmental pressure.
I’m not saying you’re wrong but it surprises me that there are many countries in Europe with no (or even very few) private schools - are you thinking of Former soviet bloc countries?
Well yeah, if you double the price of the car you can afford to slap lidar on it. You'll sell fewer cars, however
While there is a vast amount of resources below us, the CO2 above us that's causing us so much trouble would form a layer of just 3.8mm (0.15 inch) of dry ice if it was all deposited on Earth's surface as a solid.
Afaik modems do, it's the radio frontend that differs between continents. These differences are pretty slim nowadays and open market European phones will work in the US and vice versa. However the performance might be slightly degraded because some bands were prioritized over others that are supported for roaming. Also some combinations of bands for carrier aggregation might not work as well. And then you have OEMs (like Google!) who think it's smart not to enable 5G just everywhere but only for selected carriers, and you'll sometimes need a firmware update before you can utilize your phone fully.

One big difference might be the mmWave support which is pushed by some US carriers and that'd be completely lacking otherwise (no antenna).

Is HN not for women? I think it's for everyone.
It must be a very big room and a very small TV to not tell the difference. Or bad vision.
You're probably referring to another book as this one's main author is a she.

The book makes a point of how you can't predict the future. Instead it enumerates a bunch of shapes the future could take given various sets of assumptions. Some of the shapes look decent but require a lot of things to go right in the meantime.
I don't think the analogy quite carries over. With computers there are only a few major operating systems, so the simplification of design directly reduces choice. Cameras are different. There are a vast range of bodies and lenses to combine, all creating different possible images. And people can easily understand the difference between an automatic and a manual camera, or between autofocus, manual and fixed focus. That's just one more choice.
By uploading code to GitHub, you actually agree to certain terms which imply some level of sharing. You allow forking, and you allow any GitHub user to fork, reproduce and modify your code on GitHub.

Now, obviously, that doesn't necessarily imply that you grant the user the right to do the same outside of GitHub.
It might not be the high IQ per se, as I know a few very high IQ well-adjusted people. In the cases you've mentioned it's probably some combination of high IQ and some position "on the spectrum" (which together can be more alienating than e.g. mere Aspergers).

Roughly the same thing happened to me, although it only took 11 months to get the visa. It happened to so many people at the company I work for (IBM / Red Hat) that they eventually gathered together testimonials from everyone and sent them to one of the senators where Red Hat is based in North Carolina, and magically everyone's visa "problem" was resolved within 2 weeks.

I think it's a typo from japanese. I think 'register' and 'resistor' can be written the same or very similar in katakana ( レジスター ) and it can be confusing.

Yes, I was wondering what the hell they did to my "back" button. Then I saw that I had "visited" the page something like 8 or 10 times just by clicking the article link here. How the hell does that work? And why?
I agree with this premise. Backup to another provider, and also make sure it is in a different physical location - different city. In the old days you would pay a company to take a tape backup offsite so why not keep to that idea.
When I working in NL (small embedded tech company) all my colleagues were doing 32 hrs. My friend in different company did the same. Some companies do have a 40 hr culture, but it's quite normal to do 32 hrs in my experience.

I Live in Vienna now, most of my colleagues do 32 hrs. Boss doesn't love it, but it's better than losing people.

I never said that, I actually agree with you. I was just explaining GP's point to parent who in my opinion missed it.
The point is not to limit the size of the industry. It is to limit the size of a company.

Think of a oil refinery as a monolith, and that such a mandate would enforce that you'd have to build the whole system a set of independent microservices. The industry as a whole would still employ a large number of people, but now they would be forced to coordinate through specific interfaces (the smaller business units) instead of centralizing under a larger corporation.

If it uses 500W it must be a heck of a TV. My last-gen plasma doesn't use more than 180.

Simple solution is to just turn the TV off when you're not watching it. Cut viewing time back to 1-3h/day and you're under 200 euro's per year. Don't forget that large LCD TV's use more power too, so you're not going to be able to save all of that by replacing it with an LCD.
I'm not a blind fan of Hetzner and I'm aware of their limitations, but billing works extremely well for me, and they're very patient with me when I forget to pay an invoice (sending friendly reminders and not threatening to cut me off right away).

However, I remember a case when I was the culprit - spam was being sent from one of my servers (one of the users had a common username and password, something I should have never allowed) and Hetzner notified me immediately, but they didn't block the server in any way (something I'd expect). They gave me some window for explanation/solving the problem. I was very happy with how they handled the issue - but of course others may have had different experiences.
Having watched a number of (old, uploaded) films on Youtube on my TV I've noticed that there can be really serious judder - you don't need a phone to see a frame skip/duplication in a pan, it jumps out and is impossible to not see. I've not done enough investigation to see if this is a defect in the original transfers (have they done a bad 24->30) or if it's the TV trying to force it.

I don't know him, so I took a quick look. It looks like he was against some of the mandatory COVID measures. I don't really understand the point of you trying to call out his politics here. It's not the topic at-hand, and his views are hardly outside the mainstream, and at a first glance don't seem to be hateful or bigoted. So can't we just stick to the topic, and agree to disagree instead of trying to wholesale imply this guy holds "sus" (i.e. "not acceptable") views?
"Is there an HN for ***" would create uncountable subcultures and divisions which are definitely not needed.

Lloyds almost always excludes state actions including regulation, acts of war, espionage including sabotage etc.

I guess this is interesting because attribution is very difficult with hacks. In the "real world" it's easier for courts to reach "on the balance of probabilities" conclusions over who was responsible for X.

I would recommend not hardcoding AWS credentials like that and use AWS IoT Credential provider: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/author...

> Gore, Obama, Trudeau, Gates, and DiCaprio as my guiding stars on this matter

Terrible choice of guiding stars. The scientists that have been studying this and raising the alarm bells since the 70s are the guiding star. If you're feeling threatened by what the scientists are saying, and believe in them, I couldn't see how your protest is an honest attempt to help the situation. I agree most celebrity activists are hypocrites, and I sympathize with feeling overwhelmed and helpless, but informed consumers consumers can and have affected production - and ultimately man-made GHGs (transport, energy, goods, livestock, agriculture) are released primarily due to supply chain, and changing how much and how we consume changes everything upstream.
Agreed, especially considering PDF utils are in the weird money extracting island inside the sea of free software.

On "what is happening here".

The legal rules of licensing and copyright are basically a pita for everyone and nearly impossible to apply them at scale.

So everyone in this field, IP holders and users have all tacitly agreed on a social contract that is quite different from the reality of the law.

This small niche of society is small enough and poor enough that the law have not had to catch up to it yet.

This is a ... typical thing to happen. If it grows big enough, the law may catch up. Or the social contract may have to catch up. Or more probably a mix. This is usually painful.

Consider that Free and Open Source Licences are kind of a hack to paper over that gap. It has been enough so far to keep the two worlds from colliding too hard. But it is a fundamentally limited way to bridge it.
That could backfire, since nobody really feels in charge.

Can someone explain to me what I'm looking at it?
from the manufacturer's viewpoint the main problem with EVs is that there is much less scope for differentiation in the power train. Most manufacturers are going to be using similar battery technology. I think that motor technology will also become commoditized in due course. The only areas where manufacturers can genuinely differentiate themselves will be styling and software.
Keys I can understand, but handle is something inexcusable. Just getting the equipment or placement to break the door must take more time.

otherwise, HN is pretty neutral on gender...
Did anyone suggest it was? That seems like a very weak straw man of the very many sensible arguments from multiple angles, for why vast wealth inequality is a bad thing for society, including the members of the society with the extreme wealth but surrounded by poverty.
and it just doesn't make sense to say that 'Humans evolved to...' for anything

I think you’re misunderstanding the GP’s point due to a limitation of language. Verbs (in English anyway) carry a strong connotation of intent for many people. I don’t look at it this way. I read that sentence as “the result of evolution is that humans…”

For example: “humans evolved to walk on two legs” reads as “the result of evolution is that humans walk on two legs”. No intent needed.

Getting to the specific claim about humans telling stories, I think it’s plausible. A lot of morality tales from mythology and religion are actually quite helpful for ensuring survival and cooperation of the group. Of course sometimes it goes wrong and you have things like child sacrifice. But then you don’t see too much of that around today, which suggests that killing your offspring is not adaptive in this environment (it might’ve made more sense when resources were limited and harsh environmental events took place).
If women feel HN is not currently for them, the questions would be: why not and what can we do to remedy that? Percentage of contributors is a problematic benchmark here, because the industry as a whole has a very depressing gender split. If you're put off by the conservatism often on display here, the solution is not to leave and look elsewhere - the solution would be more engagement and show of presence.

Google tech is the best. Google invented k8s, their k8s cloud is the best in the world. There's nothing similar to GKE Autopilot. Similar things could be said about some other services. People want the best cloud and they hope that those issues won't affect them.

I guess its the choice if you fix the offset every year or wait until you accumulate a full month of offset.

I thought exactly the same thing before I remembered the article from a few month previous.

Mentions of that book still makes me laugh because my local library had purchased two copies of the sequel. "The Gripping Hand" was also released as "The Moat around Murcheson's Eye" in the UK. The library purchased one of each not realising they were the same book.

And I still wonder 30 years later about why there were two names and which one was the authors' first choice.
