This is so that the following relative clause is closer to the noun phrase it modifies.
Are you saying maximizing load factors are worse for fuel economy or just slowing down would be a preferred cost saving measure in your opinion? Average load factor in the US is already <90%.

Either way, what about the unintended consequences for travellers if a slow down was mandated permanently?

You would need at least 15% more planes, pilots, ground personnel, etc... to handle the reduced bandwidth. For non-direct flights, fewer connections could be made likely increasing the airport population its ancillary services.

Airlines already do this from time to time usually when fuel costs outpaces pricing power:

Neither of these should take minutes. Try Heun sampler, 8 steps, Karras noise schedule. Should be possible to get good images in 11 secs (or 10 secs if you go down to 7 steps). measurements admittedly from M1 Max.

Would probably do what all other companies do: still provide the service and then based on the owed amount, they would send 3 warnings and then:

1. If the amount is small, just send them to Inkasso/Schufa, which will hinder their ability to close basically any other contract, from mobile phone to renting an apartment

2. Enforce collection through civil litigation via a lawyer firm

3. Sell the debt to a collection agency

I think #1 would happen regardless

You sign a contract that requires the airline to fly on a certain date and you to pay on a specified date. The only change from today in the normal case is that the two dates are the same.

The big changes are in two unusual cases: ① The airline closes before you fly, such as Swissair, Air Berlin etc. In that case you don't pay. ② The airline cancels your reservation, as many did during the early covid phase. In that case you and the airline quarrel about nonperformance of the contract, just as you do now, but you have the money during the quarrel instead of the airline offering you a voucher.
Google really sucks with this. It used to be a lot worse a couple years ago when you had to navigate the dumb GDPR thing before you could see the language selector. Believe it or not, its the main thing that pushed me to DuckDuckGo.

Anyway, a nice trick is to append ?hl=en to the query string of any Google site and it will force it to be in English.
A related - today is the first, and thus kind of celebrated, day of school in the former-USSR territories, like Russia and Ukraine, and the top Russian TV channels in Crimea were hacked to broadcast Zelenskiy speech congratulating schoolchildren there with the first day of school https://focus.ua/voennye-novosti/527684-hakery-postaralis-ob...
A little later than that (Tiberius was killed in 133 BC). There are definitely parallels here, especially the deep-seated violent reaction the US has to socialism at home or abroad. The same is largely true in the UK where the entire institutional apparatus of government and the media seemed to activate against Jeremy Corbyn.

Michael Parenti does a good job of painting the crises of the first century BC (with some mentions of the Gracchi) as a class struggle in his People’s History of Ancient Rome.
Yeah OPN/pfSense make ..sense too I think, haven't used them personally though. But there's some hardware (primarily thinking non-router/firewalls) you couldn't have or wouldn't want them to run on, and so you might buy MikroTik, and then use them for everything so as to have only one config system to learn.

I have the SXT for example (4G antenna/modem/router) so if I wanted a managed switch or another router or whatever I'd be more inclined to get a MikroTik one just to simplify my time configuring them, similarly to but even without Ubiquiti's snazzy auto discovery etc.

There are sites that charge a fortune to fill an esta in on your behalf too. Just because a scam is successful doesn’t mean there’s a problem with the normal way.

Interestingly airlines already do this. When airlines ask for volunteers to take the next flight, it could due to a range of factors but last-minute business travel is one. They will absolutely sell a last-minute ticket for $2,000 to a business traveler when the flight is already overbooked, then offer someone $1,000 to take another flight. Usually everyone is satisfied and the airline profits.
That's probably very hard to say.

But consequentialism/utilitarianism [1] isn't the only form of moral reasoning. By most forms of deontological [2] morality, saving someone's life is a good act by itself, even if the fella goes on to become a murderer later.

This coupled with noise. For those who don't care too much about noise, an onboard cheap DAC is perfectly fine.

For those that care about noise, you don't want the analog audio anywhere inside the case since it's a horribly noisy place. So you get an external DAC.

Are you?

Americans like to repeat that and certainly believe it but is it still as true as it was?

It’s probably still true military but in term of influence the USA is less relevant by the day. You weren’t very successful at convincing developing countries to sanction Russia for exemple.

Right. I always thought that a non-trivial part of the bad rep of Windows comes from the fact that lots of people were forced to use it at work with tons of enterprise junkware that was barely distinguisable from unremove malware. My home Windows machines on much weaker hardware always ran a lot better than machines at work. And in the past few years it feels like my corporate JAMF managed MacBook is heading in the same direction.
You are talking about young people in a real-world scenario involving physical interactions, not some internet forum or any other social setting where groups self-select.

I doubt that people will be basing their relationships based on such a secondary aspect of their cultural values. Where they live, their close family, where they go to school, what type of activities they do after school and what type of activities and relationships their parents have... all of that is a lot more relevant to determine their social circle than "strong affinity around the interest for skinny dipping"
That is freaking wild to me.
So how does that work? I install some app that "needs" location data to function and in the EULA I "consent" to that data being sold. Police then buys this data via several proxies. So far so "told you so years ago". But how does police use that data? How do they associate account IDs from all these apps to real persons? Is that data collected and sold as well, e.g., via the payment processing? Do they use the email address as key?
It's the dreaded "more of the same shit" algorithm that people confuse with deep learning and AI. The sad reality is that recommendation teams in these companies maintain some ugly gobbled together if .. else logic rather than a proper recommendation engine. Proper recommendation engines are hard. That's why recommendations change dramatically if you just use a vpn or travel. The IP address based geo location trumps everything else they might know about you. That's because there's a big if else around whatever other logic they have.

Add promoted content/ads to the mix that they are paid to promote and you end up with a mix of content that is primarily based on where you are, what they want to pimp in that region, and more of the same shit you were clicking on anyway; more or less in that order. The exact same shit quite often actually. Even filtering that out seems hard.

They are incentivized by ad clicks, not by your amusement. That's the business mistake that allows Tiktok to prosper because they are still trying to grow at the expense of their competition which means that they are in fact incentivized by your amusement as observed through your addictive behavior in the form of content clicks.

Instagram was like that once. And then Facebook bought them and started messing it up. Facebook was once like that until Facebook became an advertising company. The mistake that gets made over and over again in this space is that at some point they think they've won and start milking their network for revenue. The process of doing that destroys and erodes that network and something else pops up that is more interesting for users.

Tik Tok is doomed to go there too. Just a matter of time. It's irresistible for shareholders and advertisers. They'll get dollar signs in their eyes and they'll mess it up.
Discussion of the paper yesterday
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32675861
Certain EU airlines, particularly Lufthansa and TAP, don't pay up very easily unless you hold status.
Plenty of video games, movies, TV shows, graphic novels, books, plays, songs, have little to no staying power, entertainment value or cultural relevance of any kind.

Does the fact that ET the video game was produced, or Bram Stoker apparently wrote a book so bad were still dunking on it 100 years later invalidate either of their mediums? Does the fact that twerking exists and is labelled invalidate the cultural impaxt of dancing?
Yeah, not sure if the submission URL is wrong. The relevant article for the headline seems to be "Draft on Mobile Security Guidelines (MSG)" (http://egovstandards.gov.in/comments-on-mobile-security-guid...) which does mention the following:

> Developer mode option should only be available on engineering sample phones
only. Engineering sample phones shall be made available based on special request
to the phone manufacturer

In "Draft on Guidelines for Anonymisation of Data (AoD)" I don't find any mentions of developer mode or side-loading at all.

It depends on what they are watching, are they watching "mythbusters" or "the Kardashians"? The problem start when the giant majority uses the medium to consume garbage, the drop in intelligence in the US and it's politicians is likely directly related to that.
Can you explain the reason for anxiety? I read through first few paragraphs where author talked about vacuum. "Nothing" about it is anxiety inducing. But then, I grew up in the subcontinent where the ancients postulated that everything came from Shunyata (nothingness).
I love the trending tab, but I visit them only 10 times a month. It's enought for me to get the benefit of it.

I suspect lany use it this way. Obviously compared to other tabs, it's going to be very low traffic. But in this case, traffic is a bad metric.
Meh, the last two that I've had:

2014 MBP: worked well for a couple of years, then developed a fault where it randomly half comes out of sleep, then gets very hot, even when closed in a bag.

2018 MBP: randomly completely crashes, with no warning whatsoever, roughly once a day.
I'm glad it's not just me that gets wound up by that.

I wonder if it's getting confused (rather ironically!) with semiotics. Saying that it's just a matter of the words used in the argument seems closer to the mark.

Or, maybe, they think it's a fancy way to say "matter of opinion".
Knowing someone who ran a public bibliogram instance, using IPv6 and rotating through addresses of a cellular provider's /32 it was, at the barest minimum, possible, but really annoying as Facebook would lock down any /64 once it felt it had looked at too many profile pages, and the limits were just as tight, if not more so, as the v4 limits.
I used them in the past and they worked, but a colleague told me I was being an idiot and should do it myself. He was right, at least with British Airways, there's an online form that you fill out and money appears in your account. It took the same amount of effort as Airhelp.

I would use them only after trying to do it yourself.
I've been a big fan of the trending page, and have found many cool projects from there, as well as been very happy when my project has made it to the list, which usually brings on a big wave of new users!

As someone who's building apps and actions to run on GitHub, I've always found the discoverability of apps to be lacking. The marketplace is nothing but a big list of things, in seemingly random order. Compare this to the Slack App "store" which has a much better discoverability and feel to it.

I which it had reviews, trends, new highlights etc, to make it easier to discover new apps, and for app developers like myself to get a chance to attract more users.

FYI I went through a large phase in 2020-2021 where I responded to around 75 job offers and overall had 1-5 calls with ~35 companies each.

My cover letter contains a standard phrase about "references available on request".

No one requested them.
A credit card is all that is needed indeed. Hotels already support pay-at-check-in without resorting to blocks.
This would work out great !!! Except - you know - for the hotel bookings, car hire and the museum tickets you bought in advance.
Those numbers are marginal costs only, the manufacturers also have substantial fixed costs. Anyhow, there already are lots and lots of USB cable brands, although I suppose many of them are just rebranding bulk cable products.
Yes, my comment was oversimplified, it would be a bad idea not to coordinate with CF on a measure like this.
Presumably they would use a standard credit card hold - where the amount is verified and user has that amount reduced from their maximum limit and then the amount is only settled at check-in

A zombie company is an undead company meaning it is no longer vulnerable to small cuts and bruises and is effectively immortal to anything that doesn't decisively crush the head or cuts off entire limbs.and even then if it only loses an arm it will keep going for some time.

By this definition a small company on the edge of solvency wouldn't be a zombie because it isn't even dead yet and it's glass like fragility is unlike that of a zombie.

A zombie company is either a declining company that is so large it abuses its monopoly position or other advantages to outlive all the fragile glass companies (think intel killing transmeta) or it is a company that has superior access to investors and external funding and manages to revive over and over again.

Unfortunately that isn't what zombie company means in colloquial language, in colloquial language it just means "I don't like this company, I will pretend to know something about it that I don't, shut it down" and generally this is used to not shut down hard to kill companies but small businesses that aren't abusing their customers and don't want to completely dominate the economy but rather just want to earn a little bit more than employees do.

According to an Icelandic friend not fully joining the EU is on purpose. There are people on Iceland that enjoys the benefits of EFTA and EEA, yet does not want to fully tackle corruption. Iceland is the most corrupt Nordic country by far (yet on a global scale still pretty good).
Are these 150K being used to build a new house or to buy an existing house?

I think it’s time the English speaking world realised that landlords are not providing a service, they are extracting a tax on people that don’t have 150K to pay a deposit.
Why deprecate this at all? It’s not like the logic around trending repositoriesis likely to change in the next 10 years or so.

If they do this it must be for some other reason than upkeep.
I'd love to see actual research on "the uncool participants effect" but anecdotally it feels like a real thing that's impossible to avoid. Any social network will start to favor a specific culture - enforced either by the algorithm or by its participants.

Once that culture starts to go out of fashion (which is inevitable) either the algorithm will have to shift to meet the culture (because the existing participants are probably not going to be fast enough to change) or new users will find another platform to start using. That's why even though people are saying Instagram will die if they start to prioritize Reels, I feel like they're going to die if they don't and this is a last ditch effort.
Instagram is not dying. There is no other app in the world with the same reach and installation percentage among young people. Instagram is losing at usage time sure, but I would wager that 95% of young people in first world countries have an Instagram profile and this is not. Its almost a necessity.
There are tried and true techniques, like checking your watch. When you're dreaming, it will show different times when you check it.

So if you train yourself to check your watch for consistency (in your normal everyday life), your unconscious will continue the practice in your dreams, and you'll notice the inconsistency.
Ah yes. The act of learning about something awesome by the message saying it's going away.
You try to match people in the db with known locations of a target and very quickly there will be only one match.
There's plenty of nonsense books available too. People made the same argument about video games when I was a child. Over the last 100 years we've been worried about TV shows, movies, video games, and rock music being a negative influence. Just because you think something is dumb doesn't invalidate it for everyone else.
True but I was happy to read it could be as soon as Sept. 16 on the federal agenda.
> No matter where, no matter who, the majority of people prefer detached homes with lawns if they can afford them.

Eh. Yes, people want ponies. Suburbia does indeed optimize for this parameter, but they sacrifice almost every other. Single family houses with lawns is nothing new in Europe, but most of them are rural.

I'd still defend that for the vast majority of Europeans the attraction of American suburbia is very low. Most choose to live in apartments in dense cities that are most attractive near the center. "Walkable" is a term i first heard in the US, that is quite meaningless in Europe, for a reason.
In Europe the shortness of early city dwellers was tied to lack of refrigeration. They didn't have access to the cheap source of protein: milk.

The idea is to only charge for flights upon checkin.

There are a myriad of problems with this, to name two:

- an attacker could easily book many flights without checking in. This would cause the airline to fly at a loss.

- customers do not control when checkin starts, airlines do. An airline could easily play tricks (checking 1hr before boarding).

Wrt the 2nd one: this is easily mitigated by having a mandatory eg 2-week period for checkin... but then we're sort of where we are today, just with more uncertainty if the bookers can actually pay for their flights.

So, not a big fan.

Ask HN: Recommendations for anonymous web hosting resistant to takedown?
I'm working on a project that infringes copyright (but does nothing else illegal), and would like to publish it where it will be both out of the reach of DMCA type takedowns, and give me privacy from direct legal action.

I have it temporarily running in a Tor hidden service and am using trying tor2web gateways to access, but this is slow and unreliable.

What recommendations can anyone give as to a better hosting setup?
It’s interesting that space and time are so intrinsically linked. So space “needs” time and vice-versa. I would love to be able to take an peak behind the curtain how it all works (as I think the relativity theory is rather descriptive, not the true mechanism)

I mean (so Energy is massaccel^2) so does that make space and time equal to energy.

But you’re saving a soldier, in an active warzone. You can’t pretend to be naive and say maybe they’re going to have a change of heart and become a flower farmer. By saving that life, you’re executing the future victims of that killer/soldier. That you don’t actually pull the trigger on those victims is neither here nor there.
Both happen. Keeping seats happens more often in Europe.

I flew Munich-Oslo yesterday. Look at the prices for that route for later today, for next week and for next month. The seats are the same on most of the aircraft, the available business class you see is just regular seats being kept free for expensive tickets. And when the search engine says "4 seats are left at this price", that means that the airline is keeping some to sell at higher prices.
