It was really disappointing that Firefox removed RSS support. I could understand Chrome was abandoning an essential open standard, as they are a for-profit company. But Mozilla doing it was senseless.

The only thing that seems to reliably motivate Mozilla to change their browser is when Google adds a new feature, so I am confident that Firefox will get RSS support again.
This is not a surprise for anyone that has been using Windows under Parallels on an M1 Mac. What's important is for the real experience to be match the benchmark and it seems to fly for core office/productivity tasks.

I setup a VM for work stuff that includes a bunch of admin policies and work-installed junk a few weeks ago to work while traveling. It didn't even break a sweat and Teams felt as responsive as my recent i7 desktop. At the same time I was able to run all my usual dev stuff on the Mac. It felt like it would handle classic Visual Studio as well, but I didn't want to bother with the install.
You're deluding yourself if you think there aren't significant tradeoffs in making a device serviceable without specialty tools. "Bulkier" is a common one, but you could keep the size down by sacrificing performance (in order to keep the heat down and/or to make do with a smaller battery). I'm not sure exactly what kinds of tradeoffs are being made, but (for example) according to Tom's Hardware, the Framework laptop has half the battery life of the MacBook Air.
That you don't know SQL very well isn't an argument against it? Give me a 100 line SQL statement and I'll have it figured out in 20 minutes, about the same as it would take to figure out bad C++ or Python or whatever else.
But the Swiss could organise a referendum and could've voted it down if they had wanted. (and they can also vote for much more draconian initiatives if they want). Ps : Iceland?
> gives you no indication that the upper bound is 800%.

But it isn't? For e.g. outside sheds (heated to 7°C) the COP can theoretically go up to 27. For solar panels, the highest theoretical efficiency is well below 100% and the bound isn't communicated.

> It also fails to communicate that it's harder to move the heat when it is colder.

For heating that's less the case, but the efficiency of e.g. solar panels also varies depending on the temperature. That's not exclusive for heat pumps (although much more extreme there).

> You could even give it a different name to `void the scary word if you want, just don't call it efficiency because it's not.

Few people know what Coefficient of Performance means. If I give choose a new name, even less people will understand it. I try to either put efficiency in quotation marks or explain the concept, but efficiency maps (in the sense of energy I care about in and out) pretty well.

I think anti-education is too harsh, I'd describe it more as a white lie. It's the same as saying Mac & Linux systems don't get malware or saying in school maths that you can't take the square root of -1.

Wrong, but correct enough for understanding the point and allowing useful reasoning.

Not really. If you are selling vehicles (or most other products) in the US you can't escape liability by merely manufacturing the products outside the US.

It is however a common excuse used by companies that want to move their manufacturing outside the US to save on labor, because saying "We were forced to because of frivolous lawsuits!" goes over a lot better than "We can make more money if we only have to pay a couple dollars an hour for labor".
Twitter Inc. is indeed in very serious trouble if you have someone like Mudge whistleblowing.

Now looking at the chaos, damage control and the PR disaster that is happening at Twitter HQ after this, I have zero confidence in whatever Twitter HQ and the CEO is saying other than admitting their total incompetency towards how they handle information security at the company. All attempts to make this disaster disappear will not only fail, but will eventually backfire.

So what else was Twitter lying about?
Tipped wages were $8 in 2010, and are now $15, and tips went from a 5-15% scale to a 18-30% scale.

As others have written, Apple's argument comes down to whether people on different projects talk at the water cooler. I thought Apple was aggressively siloed, where communication between projects had similarity to governmental security handling... I assume people working on a single project are able to chat/communicate however they are located or organized. If they can't talk about work with others due to it being compartmentalized, why are they required to go to the office?

Yeah, there's this big racetrack that has to be justified. Maybe one's house isn't sufficiently secure so that "nefarious types" can scan what you do and determine what Apple's up to. But then, who all likes to work in such an environment? Many don't like government security. There's growing resentment against tech-company data collection - are they going to be willing to work in a black box or Faraday cage?

Or are we merely listening to the dinosaurs after the comet hit but before the shockwave arrived? We'll know when the success and failure of companies is reviewed in 5-10 years.

Are you sure about that it is not Windows for ARM?
Apple has implemented per OS security. Meaning that you could have complete chain-of-trust with one OS and have an untrusted second install of another OS. No PC has that, and it’s the core idea that allows Linux to be ported. I don’t see how such a useful technology for testing insecure versions of macOS would be removed. Apple backs few technologies, but they don’t often change their mind when they do. The fact of the matter is that Apple benefits from the access it gives Linux. It won’t remove it thoughtlessly.

Ultimately it leads to a discussion about the competition. When you buy an ARM based Surface, can you put Linux on it? Is Microsoft clear you can? Are they providing drivers?
What would collapse look like?

If people are queueing in an ambo for 12 hours why isn't that a sign of collapse?

I agree about the original filename being worth preserving. I have usually renamed them with the paper's title and then the original filename, separated by a hyphen. Sometimes I add a keyword/company name.

It is too bad that corrupt government officials keep systemically defunding Social Health programs with the objective of pushing private for-profit healthcare (which just doesn't make sense). Then they point to the deficient healthcare and blame the "socialized" aspect of it for the issues.

Here in Mexico we've seen it all play out: We had an amazing social healthcare system (in the form of the IMSS) in the 70s and 80s. But the corrupt government officials kept dismantling it and allowing corruption to run rampant within the system. All to get a piece of the private for-profit health system including Health Insurance.

Back in 2004 when I lived in the UK, the NHS was really good. And I remember hearing at that time that it was nothing compared to the NHS in the 80s and 90s. I seriously hope it doesn't have the same outcome as our system had in Mexico. For-profit health is inhumane.
Ask HN: How do you handle the chaos in your Slack channels?
Hey all! My team uses Slack like a lot, and it is such a mess. We always can't find important discussions/decisions/ideas, ask the same questions and start the same conversations over and over again, etc. How do you handle it? Any hacks?
"Zatko was fired by Twitter in January and claims that this was retaliation for his refusal to stay quiet about the company’s vulnerabilities."
Nothing really to see here. At the very minimum one would expect the CEO to express confidence in his current team as well as to disavow any accusations that could expose the company to potential liability.
Only problem I've ever observed is not letting it "calm down" as some mDNS implementations (maybe no more) used to try to cache/answer for other machines.
> But it's especially wrong in this case. McDonald's is effectively a real estate company[0] that has been growing over ~80 years.

I don't think this contradicts the contention that McDonald's is too short-term in its thinking to be worried about resale value.

Yes, they're a real estate company. But most of that real estate is never sold or rented to anyone other than McDonald's franchisees.

I think they designed the stores this way because they believe -- and probably have troves of data to support them -- that this style of architecture is better for their restaurants too.
It’s going to trial this fall. Twitter is going to ask courts to enforce the agreement, making Musk buy them.

My guess is he’s blustering to shore up his negotiating position, and will have to make Twitter whole in the range of $10b. Or he believes his own tweets, will go to trial, and be forced to make the purchase.

Like everyone, I’m bad at predicting the future.
Thanks, not a boomer. I have no issues with wages going up. I fully support kitchen staff wage increases.

I simply don't think that the least hard-working part of the restaurant should get paid the best and complain about how much they're getting paid considering how little they actually work.

Absolutely zero reason to say "who was terminated for ineffective leadership and poor performance". That context is not at all relevant to this matter and comes off as an attempt to distract from the subject in matter.

And it doesn't bode well for employees to see their CEO mud slinging at former employees like that. You could be next! Besides, surely they know such messages eventually reach the public eye and give people a view into the culture in the company?

Hey guys,

I posted this maybe a year ago. It was originally an electron based desktop app which was cool but pretty hard to maintain / get people to download and test it out. Given that there would likely always need to be a cloud component regardless I decided that it would be easier to port it over into a web app and maintain it that way.

Since doing that I took a job and am pretty burned out on the project. I was thinking about open sourcing it and seeing if it gets more interest that way. Potentially as a self contained docker image that folks could pull down and run.

Glue is pretty similar to these commercial projects https://www.alteryx.com/, https://www.dataiku.com/, https://parabola.io/ and other DAG based data pipeline generators. I also saw this posted on hackernews within the last year or so https://datablocks.pro/ which is pretty cool too (also more of of an indie project).

Here is the current API. Probably needs some de-scoping so that its only the important endpoints but its a look under the hood if anyone is curious. - https://app.gluedata.io/docs#/

Anyway if anyone has any comments, suggestions / feedback please let me know. Happy to share any details or thoughts.
eBPF is not Linux only. Windows is investing into integrating it to their OS and some efforts have begun applying it to the BSDs. There's even a recent initiative to standardize the eBPF runtime.

eBPF can work with Dtrace's USDTs as well as dynamic u(ret)probes.

Dtrace on Linux is built on top of eBPF.
I don't because I'm not seeing an organization that will hold them accountable.

- This Congress is ill-equipped to understand tech, much less hold it accountable. As long as the people are happy, Congress is happy.

- Lord knows the people are ill-equipped to get how bad this is. They already watched this company allow a rogue employee to shut off the account of the President of the United States (before they chose to do it as policy; https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/11/02...) and watched this company deploy a username-to-telephone lookup service publicly where they'd intended to deploy a security protocol (https://www.ghacks.net/2022/08/08/twitter-confirms-that-a-da...). The public doesn't understand why they should care.

- The only group who could really hold Twitter accountable are shareholders, but why should they care if the public and Congress don't? The money will roll in either way.

Unless they've managed to commit an SEC violation (in which case, slap on the wrist incoming), there are no consequences for this kind of bad behavior until someone powerful gets seriously hurt. I'm glad Mudge is doing the right thing, but extremely pessimistic much will come of it. My recommendation is to shed Twitter as a user.
It is the ARM version of Windows. Parallels on Apple Silicon can't run x86 OSs. Only ARM ones. Not sure if Geekbench has a Windows ARM port though.
>If we're willing to accept higher labor intensiveness

In general will translate to

We may be willing to accept the first one, but I am absolutely not convinced of the second.
Ask HN: How to encrypt a mail between two interlocutors?
My friend and I communicate via email, we both use gmail. We want to exchange text and drawings that we don't want to fall into third hands. How do we set up something like GPG? We have never used a desktop client for mail so we need a guide for absolute beginners.

I have an experience of using Jabber with OTG but I don't like chat where messages do not have a topic, I also tried to use TOX but it can lose messages if the recipient is not online - so we need mail encryption with the ability to exchange small files.

It was an additional eye opener after I tried, unsuccessfully, to like Raspberri Pi. "Powerful 64-bit CPU"? After M1 I kept expecting it to be fast and to run non-ARM software :D

Once you try M1/M2 Macs it's very hard to go back to pretty much any hardware.
Lots of people are rushing to defend Mudge, and maybe it's warranted, but being an alumnus of cDc and l0pht doesn't make one a competent executive.

It is possible for someone to be a great hacker but a mediocre manager.

Twitter's taken a lot of body blows recently and Parag is obviously trying to motivate his people. He's not necessarily lying even if it's a rather unprofessional way to speak I'll of someone who's been fired.
It really wouldn't add any additional attack surface compared to accessing the same data through Javascript though.
Although I truly appreciate and admire Calcite, I've had so much trouble trying to get it to do what I want. Although in all fairness it could be me and being able to find enough time to deep-think on it.

Specifically, customizing the DDL grammar was really hard to understand and play with. It's been a while and maybe it's better, but I remember there was some kind of freemarker compiler templating language that had to be modified and documentation and posts on different forums was lacking to say the least.

I was trying to do some very unorthodox things at the time, but Calcite is probably a good fit for 98% of the things one might need to do with an SQL compiler/parser.

This is billshit non-sense that won't die. C4C scrapped 700,000 used vehicles.

The USA sold 16,000,000 vehicles in 2007 and had ~250,000,000 registered vehicles.

What caused used car prices to spike was the fact that new car sales fell from 15 million a year, to 10 million a year, then took five years to recover. That's a net loss of 25 million new cars, or about 10% of the total number of registered vehicles.

25,000,000 >> 700,000

https://www.statista.com/statistics/199983/us-vehicle-sales-...

C4C scrapped a literal rounding error number of vehicles.
They do, primarily so they don't have to have anything resembling a "driveshaft" or a transmission, because they're so big they don't actually "bump" over anything, more like crush it into submission.
Why would them leaving be viewed as a "broken" immigration system? I'd say it's broken if we don't enforce immigration laws, not if we enforce them.

It's a broken system that allows them into the US in the first place, then denies them reasonable opportunities to work and settle down, then deports them on a whim.

We need the labor; let them in legally, pay them a fair wage, and allow them to pursue their dreams like any other resident.
Work has to be interesting enough (or you have to be desperate enough) to do it every day. If the reward (financial and otherwise) is less than the hassle required to get to and do the work... I suspect both people and companies will figure this out, and if I had to bet I'd favour the people right now. Whole lotta slack in their budgets if they skip the prepared foods and designer coffees.

This reminds me of a method to develop time travel:

A thousand beautiful stone tablets are buried and sunk all around the world in multiple languages. The tablets announce the purpose of the experiment and share a series of dates and precise locations. In those places and times, a set of extremely sensitive sensors are set up to listen. If one is reasonably confident that the tablets will be discovered in a 1000 years, and if there is some unknown physics that enables sending information back in time, then a communication channel could be set up allowing the flow of future tech into the past. And worst case, we are left with a bunch of beautiful stone tablets for future generations to ponder over.
it is windows for arm.
It's windows for arm. linux for arm, etc etc

Parallels on Apple Silicon cannot run x86 OS's.

If you want to run x86, you can use qemu which works fine.
If feel like at this point, Windows is eventually going to switch to ARM it's just a matter of overcoming a lot inertia. ARM and RISC processors in general are now proven to be better than x86. If Microsoft invests in making Windows for ARM run well and provides a translation tool like Rosetta, it's game over for x86. That's no easy feat but at a fundamental level I don't really see a way for x86 to become actually competitive again against RISC processors.

Thank you for the pointer! Definitely something worth looking deeper into. However, I was talking more about the software side of things - so that we won't be locked into a hardware platform. That said, they do have an idea in the right direction.
> Rarely does anyone even bother scratching at the fiction of our real life linguistic tricks

My mind is sort of constantly doing this in the background, because even in mid life it never stops being jarring to me and knocking me out of the flow of language-interpreting.

My favorite example has always been "senseless act of violence that took the lives of 20 innocent people."

1. Come on. The guy had a reason that would be comprehensible to most people, even if nobody considers it a justification.

2. What does it mean to call a group of people innocent? What were they innocent of? Telling lies? Emotionally abusing others on occasion? That's doubtful. Innocent of anything that would merit being executed by a concerned citizen? Since when do we endorse vigilantism at all? Was there some doubt as to whether all 20 people in the west wing of the elementary school were all chomos maybe? WHY DO THE VICTIMS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE EXONERATED OF NOTHING IN PARTICULAR
When you look at the laser focus and clear talking points of Johny Srouji, compared to the way Intel leadership talk about themselves, it’s no wonder why Apple chose to deal with him and his team instead of Intel.
Parallels can't run x86 code on Apple Silicon. It runs ARM Windows, which includes Microsoft's own x86 emulator: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/apps-on-arm-x86...
I understand your first three paragraphs just fine. That makes perfect sense. The fed can easily crash housing prices.

I can also see how they can crash any large purchases financed by credit: cars, machinery, etc.

I can see how they can stop growth, how they can crash companies that have overextended.

But I cannot follow how the prices of goods and services come down. I'm not even arguing that they don't come down, I just can't follow the logic.

This is possibly the first study demonstrating adverse Roundup effects I've read that doesn't have any immediately obvious issues. There could be some, obviously, but it's nothing like using animal strains prone to cancer.

In this case the worms are mutants, but the strains are not noted to be more prone to convulsions. They still had electrocute them, but the time to recovery did seem to relate to chemicals administered.
