Can a Tesla Valve Stop a Mega Tsunami in Cities Skylines [video]
Ask HN: DALL-E was trained on watermarked stock images?
I just got a Dall-E render with a very intact "gettyimages" watermark on it. I'm no legal expert on whether you have to own the license to something to use it as training input to your AI model, but surely you can't just... use stock photos without paying for the license? Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Prompt: "king of belgium giving a speech to an audience, but the audience members are cucumbers"

All 4 results (all no good as far as the prompt is concerned): https://ibb.co/gz5RDkB

Fullsize of the one with the watermark https://ibb.co/DzGR063
It's a lot simpler to set up. I have forgotten the details on all of this, but basically gpg signing worked fine for a few years until it didn't and then I couldn't fix it in under an hour. I just stopped signing stuff until git added ssh support last year.
The encryption side of things does appear to be a lot more challenging. I like solutions which allow complexity to be side-stepped somehow but I'm not aware of anything like that for encryption.
I guess the basic question to be asked here is how come nobodies like Agrawal get to make decisions like that.
Notice how on that list none of South America countries appear after 1990s? Venezuela has been hostile to the US, yet they are still there. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia have elected socialism-leaning governments multiple times during the last 30 years. Not to mention Nicaragua or Mexico, that are not considered South America. Colombia is the latest example. So they are poor because of US meddling, and not even a tiny part due to their policies? You have to try harder if you want to blame their issues on the US.
Because republican lawmakers come from states where this is not a problem.

Perhaps many houses in red states are owned by corporate landlords but housing is way more affordable in those states.

So this is a case of lawmakers simply not seeing the problem amongst the people they represent and thus being unwilling to pass what they view as unnecessary regulation.

Ultimately housing affordability is a blue state problem.

Moreover for all the lip service democrats pay to housing, in my state of Oregon, where the democrats have supermajorities of both houses in the legislature and the governorship, they do nothing.

I think that if you spent time on American politics you'll find that the democrats rarely vote for actual regulation, they just promise it to you and then make excuses.
It's overfit to the training data.
Shoutout to GNU Taler (https://taler.net/en/index.html) a project that aims to re-implement a DigiCash-like solution.
For me the securitytrails.com website just crashes. I put my DNS target: "stark-horse-mrp4jeowu9yvwpnnma32x6hd.herokudns.com", clicked "Run Check" and it seems to redirect to a failed (no CSS) webpage. Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: I MANAGED to make it work with this:

Make sure to go through all the tabs at the top (Cloudflare DNS, Google DNS) - for me they were all "no A records found". Only "Authoritative" gave me 3 A records which I successfully managed to use.
Telegraph companies, electric companies, bus companies, and airlines had far less of a monopoly than these tech platforms. Forcing them to respect 1st amendment values is the only reasonable thing to do.
Liquidity is a huge problem in real estate. Right now, every single person forfeits 5-6% of their home value every time they exchange homes. That's $20k on average. Reducing the spread on homes by providing liquidity would be a huge financial boon to all classes except realtors.
Anhydrous ammonia is the favored refrigerant for big commercial and industrial systems. These need professional management anyway, and the plumbing containing
ammonia tends to be outdoors. Gaseous ammonia is buoyant, so goes up.

The amount of anhydrous ammonia that would be needed to operate an RV fridge could kill you easily. Operation in an enclosed space is another source of risk.

I think you’re saying basically the same thing as the person you responded to.
Not that hard to find. Dell Inspiron and Alienware have AMD options. Lenovo's main X13 line has AMD variants. And of course all the Asus, MSI, Acers, etc.. of the world have AMD offerings. So does HP.
I’m curious what cities you have in mind.

I’ve spent time in Western, PA and while it’s definitely a lot safer than Pine Bluff, feels like there’s lots of issues with pollution, blight, and opiates even with fracking jobs and money coming into the area.

Is Lerp Frame Rate Independent?
Nice. We got our test site online by migrating just the dyno to render.com. (And connecting back to Heroku for the database.) We might just switch our DNS there and call it a permanent move.
Seems naive though. Wouldn’t that argument apply to investing in almost any product people need?
Someone has to label the dick pics first, though.
I've never encountered a bar giving a coke for free, where is that happening?
I think it is extremely condescending to diagnose “mental illness” from an article: you don’t know the person and no professional should diagnose an illness from a secondary description of facts.

Also, the article says that it helped him with “deep depression caused by work and fear of social rejection” (sounds situational, not a clinical diagnosis). Relevant discussion about OCD: “half the psychiatrists at my hospital thought this was absolutely scandalous, and This Is Not How One Treats Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and what if it got out to the broader psychiatric community that instead of giving all of these high-tech medications and sophisticated therapies we were just telling people to put their hair dryers on the front seat of their car? I, on the other hand, thought it was the best fricking story I had ever heard and the guy deserved a medal. Here’s someone who was totally untreatable by the normal methods, with a debilitating condition, and a drop-dead simple intervention” - https://quotulatiousness.ca/blog/2016/02/02/qotd-the-hair-dr... from http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/21/the-categories-were-mad...
I agree, third might be (alcohol-based) hand sanitizer, which has more of a cooling effect than water when it evaporates, could easily be mistaken for tingles if you're already primed and hyperaware from wondering "did i just touch poison?!". And the acute chest pain seems likely to be a symptom of panicking about being poisoned.
Obviously there are immigrants everywhere the US is an immigrant nation.
Does beautiful typography helps readers understand what they read better ? Is turning the lights on in the toilets really useful?
Well, I was there. I think they had the party in some offsite venue. I remember a courtyard, with the Magic Bus, parked in it.

I'll see if there's any kind of historical document. Apple's earlier WWDCs were not the high-production-value events that you see these days.

They often had celebrities give keynotes and speeches. They had Douglas Adams and Harry Anderson.
I think most of us in sec do that.

Same here, nothing seems to help. Very costly downtime.
Not technically, of course, but it's substantially the same story - the main thing we want to avoid is split discussions. Plus frontpage space is the scarcest resource so there shouldn't be two slots in the same equivalence class.
What counts as one software project? The combined Facebook codebase, for example, is surely larger than that.
Whats the point of emigrating to the west when this is facing a spectacular failure?
No but this one is even better!
No. It's a common Monsanto/Bayer talking point to minimize these chemicals by calling them "soaps." These chemicals are what allows the active ingredient to permeate tissues. Monsanto/Bayer funds studies with only the active ingredient to mislead people into thinking RoundUp is safe to be sprayed on food.
I find it ridiculous that corporations try to pretend to know more care more about children more than their own parents... When in actual fact, these corporations couldn't care less about them.

You can't really fight nature. If a child is born to horrible parents who abuse them, there is only so much anyone can do... The child's life will be ruined from the beginning, the government cannot undo the damage which has been done.
It's just ignored. The signing data is added in the same way as a GPG key, just in a different format. Git commands don't look at signatures by default, and if they do, they will just say "invalid signing format" or some such.

It's always possible some program handles this badly, but I've been signing with ssh pretty much since the day it was added to git (before it was in a release) and never experienced any problems or complaints.
I really wish I could work in OSS more. Have contributed to several libraries intermittently. How do you find time to do both OSS work and your day job? does your employer allow your OSS contributions to count as work there? I wish I could find the key to that balance.

Whenever I find those guys on Github with several maintained multi-thousand star projects, I wonder "how do they do it?" (fund themselves + work on OSS). I am always curious about the underlying life stuff

Thanks in advance!
I haven't tracked Indian politics, but they are comparing India with the US here.
After Trump, you think India could be doing worse? That's saying something.
On linux if you want to block all network access to an app you can use FlatSeal. It's great for VSCode / VSCodium if you don't want to worry about malicious extensions extraditing your data. To install new extensions, just download them from open-vsx or the official vscode website, and then drag-drop them into VSCode
> and someone went and highlighted all the verbs in one color and nouns in another, how useful would that be?

Uhh, as someone who likes learning languages, this is immensely helpful.

One of my favourite Mandarin graded readers actually highlights personal pronouns in the text, (because names are just Chinese words) so we can read the story without getting caught up in
"the car climbed the tree? Wtf? Oh no it's 'the guy named car' has climbed the tree"

That being said I agree that this is a digression, I think syntax highlighting will only help newbies marginally. There's a lot more that goes with understanding code
If you installed it as a flatpak, just use flatseal. And to install new extensions, just download them from open-vsx or the official vscode website, and then drag-drop them into VSCode
From the opinion article I linked:

>At the end of the day, though, what does it matter? What is a totally unenforced GPL? It's just a Cuck License—Isn't that what license cucks want? So why should they care? At their very best, BSD and MIT licenses are only what GPL might be at its very worst.

>The GPL is a permanent liability for any company that crosses it. Some companies might be so bold to lift GPL code and hide it, but there is always a risk and a worry that prevents its general violation.
It’s because legal immigrants are overwhelmingly well educated so they vote like the average well educated American does. It also doesn’t help that the current GOP is more or less openly racist so a vote for them goes against basic self preservation.
no, this shows incomplete understanding of layering in a modern operating system. Closed-by-default software projects, over time, are less secure; common source code components make a stronger system over time when executed well; secrets can be handled in a secure manner in security-sensitive applications; well factored software using modern layers are more secure over time with common, tested software components.

The World’s Biggest Hacker Rickroll
I've enjoyed several write ups from The CRPG Addict - it's a true internet treasure. In particular, I appreciate how he treats each game as an individual artifact. That's not to say he doesn't reference other games when reviewing a title - he does. But the descriptions and discussion seen firmly grounded in understanding what the creators were _trying_ to accomplish, rather than pitting one title against another.
HN never fails to amuse.
Generally, in terms of “Fairness” people view the tax burden as who is inconvenienced most. Saying “lower income people… will pay more of their income in taxes” is saying that lower income people are more inconvenienced.

Even if my income is 10x that of the “lower income” class of people, and I pay more absolute taxes, its less burdensome to me to do that, because I presumably have already secured housing, and basic food, and basic transit, and that tax money I spent is of lesser marginal value.
Thanks so much, it worked for us.
Pardon a minor correction, what you mean by “Linux” is more properly termed “GNU/Linux”, or as I’ve taken recently to calling it, “GNU plus Linux” which reflects that Linux is merely the “kernel”…

So yeah, Linux runs on more smartphones than all other kernels put together.

GNU/Linux? At scale? Not a fucking chance.
Heroku CDN is down and it has made major apps down worldwide.
That's insane. More fun LA facts. LA produced ~60k housing units out of a goal of ~80k over the last 8 years. Their goal for the next 8 years is 450k. They are starting at least 1 year late due to the COVID eviction moratorium. Right now you still cannot Ellis Act an occupied property to demolish it. I would wager that they will not meet their goal.
Apple excels in marketing a useless slab of junk. I am surprised how many people falling for it, swear by the "ownership experience"
I'd say it's different.

Developing nation one upmanship is more like this:

"Oh, so you can get into Google Silicon Valley with just 300 LC? You can't do that here in India; you need at least 500+ to join <insert lesser company>".
Yeah securitytrails.com was working for me, but went down about 10 mins ago.
I haven't tried it, but here's a possible temporary fix https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32573217
I have put a link to the issue in my HN profile. I think me providing the code will clear up the confusion as to what I think is a problem as we might all be talking about something different.
Mostly labor, no doubt.

$7000/12 is $583, so not cheaper than a regular refrigerator, but it uses no fuel or electricity, which for a dozen refrigerators would run over $4000/yr.

ArsTechnica did an awesome "War Stories" edition with the same Jordan Mechner on how they got around memory limitations on the Apple II. It's like a video side bar to this PDF.
You bloody legend, thanks!
on Cloudflare do you create A records (with found IPs) with name "www" or "mydomain.com"? also do you make that A record proxied or no? Thank you!
The values of the First Amendment are explicitly that Congress cannot do the thing you're arguing is the only reasonable thing to do.

If you want the government to take over social media and coerce speech, fine, but accept that that position is explicitly the opposite of what the First Amendment stands for.
Reminds me of a quote regarding magic tricks, paraphrased:
A magic trick is a lot of hard work followed by a dazzling reveal.
How troubling
Yes because people make more money in Cali, so the % of income is adjusted for.
F11 doesn't make it full screen.
We were using that and it is indeed excellent (along with most of JetBrains IDE products). It starts to fall down on all the meta programming we were dealing with. With a dynamic meta programmed DSL, there is only so much RM can deal with.
> To get from 40%to 80% just requires a few ISP's to make it the default on their routers

What you mean? I think what's needed is IPv6 support by ISP and make Happy Eyeballs on client to strongly prefer IPv6, not router.
I am a happy iPhone user after switching from Android 2 years ago after using the platform since it existed.
Maybe because their life goal has been achieved.
Heroku CDN provider makes top apps down like Readme, Substack
Nobody is "blindly believing" that RoundUp causes cancer. There have been numerous cancer cases. There have been studies directly linking RoundUp to cancer. The world's foremost experts on cancer classified RoundUp as a carcinogen. Monsanto has been caught numerous times falsifying studies and paying for studies to be done on only the active ingredient (leaving out the ingredients that make it permeate the cells).
docs.readme.com is down too
These seem to be nudes, not porn. Also: only women as far as I can tell. Are there plans to expand this?
True, I paraphrased what I said so that matt could hopefully understand a bit better that I did indeed read the blog post. I want my 10 minutes back please.
Very interesting, thanks for link!
I don't really see how patients so severely ill that they need a bed in A&E with dedicated nursing provision could be discharged into community social care, though maybe I'm missing something...
Yes, no longer applicable. https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/2786
But only when the advent of RounUp ready crops have we started spraying RoundUp directly onto food. Previously we only consumed RoundUp in trace amounts. It's extremely misleading to exclude the facts.
Perhaps of the menacing werewolf variety.
I think I love you. We're back online.

Sure if you have young kids, spezially more then one. But that the minority of people.
Eventually this and similar technology will be able to generate unlimited porn of all types. Including CP. Should or even could it be made illegal?

To me that kinda feels like if it was made illegal then you are basically acting as the thought police.

Edit: are people just uncomfortable talking about this or do they think downvoting is going to somehow prevent it?
That kind of catfishing is a good example why ethics review boards exist.

Files copied from voting systems shared with Trump supporters, election deniers
Sure, this was a class at an American university, the context of those particular numbers is important as an example, but the exercise likely transfers to other relevant dates in other countries. At the core of it though is that arguably there are IPs (numbers) in any org that might be worth committing to memory because systems can and do fail, and for humans it seems to me that encoding IPv4 is inherently easier than encoding IPv6. My (untested) hypothesis is that this may be at least somewhat of a contributing factor to the slowness of IPv6 adoption (IMO the other more prevalent one being the market factors re. IPv4 scarcity). I just thought it was an interesting parallel to share.
It's a very compelling experience. It's kind of mind blowing to take your F-16 and casually glance at real world scenery outside your cockpit. The most immersive controls are hardware HOTAS/Yoke controllers, IMO. It runs fine for me on an RTX2080 and a Vive Pro.
Huh... this is pretty interesting. My screenshot shows "15 results" at the top, which a reload of the page just now is still showing.

But when I go to load the site through my VPS in Germany... I see the "292 albums" you're talking about! And yep, umpteen copies of the same album art just like in your screenshot.

Wow. I think this might be due to Australian consumer protection laws dictating that faulty products MUST be returnable. (Buying stuff in Australia is actually kind of cool because if I don't get exactly what I paid for I don't generally have to make very much effort to get a refund.) IIUC this policy has taken impressive chunks out of pretty big players.

...And so it would seem I'm simply not seeing anything I might reasonably and correctly regard as faulty.

Well that's an interesting database column then.

(I unfortunately have less familiarity than I probably should about this status quo (given I live here :D), but I can at least offer the "Consumers" and "Business" headings (and all the individual sections in the associated dropdowns) at the top of https://www.accc.gov.au/ as a cursory indication of the level of pedantry and protection involved.)

It's entirely possible I have the wrong end of the stick here and something else is the axis point. I wonder what would happen if you loaded the site through an AU proxy/VPN. I'm also curious if any other countries cause this... different presentation.
Additionally, the chargeability dates can and do move backwards too (search for "eb2/eb3 retrogression"). Make it make sense.
Anyone know how to make this work for a subdomain?
Show HN: Berseo – A rental marketplace for ebikes escooters and other vehicles
Hi everyone!

Berseo is a rental marketplace for personal electric vehicles like ebikes, escooters and EUCs.

I came across the problem after travelling to Philadelphia. There are no on street rentals. The only way I was able to get around the city was by car, by foot or borrowing my friend's ebike. Borrowing the ebike turned out to be great! So I decided to build a rental marketplace for personal electric vehicles.

Even if you don't own an ebike or escooter or you aren't interested in listing your vehicle right now I would love to hear your feedback! Also feel free to ask any questions about electric vehicles.
What if you get called the fascist then? Anything you say to defend yourself is just fascist mind tricks. Denials are just more evidence of guilt. I would still defend your right to call for us to be silenced.
A buoyant gas. It goes up.

A potful of liquid ammonia boiling on the ground nearby can be bad, for a while.
How funny! Just a few hours ago, I finished reading through Charles Stross' "The Laundry Files" sci-fi/fantasy series.

https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2020/10/the-lau...

The central premise is that magic and computation are essentially the same thing, information/entropy exchange that can open channels to other multiverse inhabitants when performed at sufficient scale. As computers have become more powerful and widespread, a secret government agencies have been drafting those who stumble upon particularly dangerous algorithms -- which can invoke bugs and close encounters.

So the central protagonist of an IT guy for the UK secret ministry, "The Laundry". Visual Basic macros are not allowed!
