Step 1 - governments privatises /sells all public squares and large streets in your city

Step 2 - private companies that own them hire private security firms

Step 3 - if anyone protests, stands with a banner or says anything in convenient anywhere in the city, they get violently removed.

Step 4 - folks like you yourself defend it under the guide of 'but it's not a government!'

Vioala, no free speech to worry about!

You think this is far fetched? It's happening as we speak, thousands of public spaces across Uk were sold and you can;t protest there anymore.

tl;dr Higher integration and faster CPU's killed them.

In the early days of PC's most EVERY peripheral was provided by an IO expansion card save for the keyboard. My 386 had a 16-bit multi-IO ISA board that provided the essential coms ports: ATA, floppy, serial, parallel. You purchased a VGA card and then a sound card. You had at least 2 or three ISA cards because your motherboard was taken up by all the CPU, FPU, RAM, and essential control logic chips. My second 486, a DX2 66MHz, had the ATA, serial, parallel and floppy ports on-board which amazed me as it eliminated a whole ISA board. (Now everything fits on a single silicon die...)

Early on-board audio was usually a sound card soldered the the motherboard. Then Intel developed AC'97 which integrated standard audio into the south-bridge. Coincidentally that made Microsoft's life easier as all the PC's they were running on would use this standard meaning all they had to do was provide AC'97 drivers and everyone with an Intel machine had sound. No more competing 3rd party audio api's from Creative, et al. it was all Wintel. PC builders could now provide multimedia PC's for cheaper prices with audio by default. Also, USB happened which allowed people to plug in things without opening cases and fiddling with circuit boards which is alien to many.

And as CPU's became faster, the need for dedicated DSP processors to handle audio processing or synthesis is eliminated. You can now run a whole DAW complete with synth, sample playback, effects and mixing in real-time on a cheap general purpose off the shelf computer with no special hardware.
Am I understanding right that it’s a function of thermal density? They consume less power than an equivalent intel cpu, so being more efficient but hotter seems contradictory. It seems like it’s a limit of the ability to pull the heat out of a smaller area quickly enough. If that’s the case, one thing to consider is that, while hotter, it won’t heat a room as quickly. That can be a deal breaker for people.
People are pressured to agree with those around them, which political slant that is depends on their surroundings.
I had a girlfriend who was a musician and back in the late 90s, home recording was rare (but starting to become a thing). We found that the cheapest sound card from a music store had lower noise and better signal-to-noise ratio than even the best (or most expensive) sound card available at computer stores.

For games today, I use the audio interface that came with the computer. For dealing with my synthesizers, I use a Scarlett by Focusrite [0].

This was the exact problem that MapReduce solved. Once you reach a large enough scale (which isn't all that big), you are guaranteed to have failed jobs and a need to recover.
In the prior example you considered the separation between lawmaker, prosecutor, and jailer sufficient to provide objectivity in theory ignoring while making no study of the actuality where money flows from prison companies directly to lawmakers.

Now you make a spurious connection between prison and hospital because I guess suffering happens in both institutions? Yes in theory EVERY institution may advocate for positions that advance their interests over the populace but none other is so odious as to advocate for more people to be in chains so they may directly trade the hours and years of their lives for gold nor selling the labor of the slaves it has so corruptly acquired by advocating for greater bondage.

It seems to me obvious that police officers, correction officers, and hospital staff are all absolutely necessary for the function of our society. Having private prisons which only house 8% of inmates at this time absolutely isn't.
Swing dancing is a lot of fun and a great place to meet people, but please don't be the guy that's obviously there to flirt. In my experience, most people there just want to enjoy their evening dancing, not getting hit on.
You have to be careful though since many of these programs (such as CPS energy's) don't set a specific temperature. They just raise your thermostat so many degrees. So if you are like me and already (or for voluntary conservation) set your thermostat to 78 it gets bumped to something like 82 which is quite uncomfortable.

>Should kids be taught that the world is not dangerous to make kids less likely to be tolerant?

If my kids fear that anyone who is not in their group is out to harm them,then they will become less tolerant of anyone not in their group.
Dunno why you put it on the head like that?
I know that, I just: 1) didn't have the energy to expend explaining in great detail why I thought you were wrong, and; 2) believed you were sufficiently credible and also incorrect that it was important enough for other people to voice their disagreement.

The people downvoting the parent comment evince a stronger view: intolerance of tolerance of intolerance.

edit: and arguably intolerance of tolerance of tolerance of intolerance.
It's an interesting premise. I built something similar at a company over 10 years ago. It was a side feature of our messaging platform and focused on existing contacts, though. It never really took off, so we eventually removed the feature.

That said, best of luck! The world has changed a lot in 10+ years, and interacting with internet "randos" is much more of a thing now.
That means the NSFW filter kicked in IIRC from reading the code.

Wrong hat. Wrong phrasing. Wrongthink.

The method is always the same. It is mildly depressing, but not surprising.

Amusingly, or sadly - I did not decide yet - just the other day, I openly declined to discuss Tate for that very reason in public.
In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise.

What form would the "utterance of intolerant philosophies" take, which can be countered by "rational argument" and kept in check by "public opinion?"

Did you actually read the the comment posted or simply scan it once for the word "speech?"
Didn’t apple stop supporting Nvidia cards like 5 years ago? How could it be confusing that Cuda wouldn’t run?
Wait a few days for what, exactly? For your sub-sub-sub dependency to patch it, then for your sub-sub dependency to notice this and update the version, then for your sub-dependency to notice it to update it, then for your dependency to finally notice and update it?

The solution that npm presents solves this problem without this insanity -- you can just create a `npm-shrinkwrap.json` file to manually update sub-dependencies. If one of your dependencies used bundling, this solution becomes impossible.
Is Popper's POT drivel the only talking point the anti-free speech people have these days? Every time. Sometimes with the associated cartoon.
I tried that magnet trick on a pair of my overalls after some of the press-locking fasteners broke but it too was an abject failure. Every time I bent over or made sudden movements the closure popped open.

As I couldn't immediately get replacement press-locking fasteners, I resorted to sewing on buttons at points where the fasteners had failed but that wasn't the most brilliant of ideas. When it came to removing my overalls I could no longer just rip them open from top to bottom in one go - as is my usual wont.

Not directly, but a extremely wealthy person without a vote who can make campaign donations directly or indirectly arguably has a larger impact than the average voter. For example 90% of house seats go to the person who spent the most, though causation isn't necessarily always the case.[1]

Finally, it seems it was a pretty widely accepted idea in society for many years that in general you don't discuss religion or politics in public nothing good would come from it and it would cause hurt feelings all around. In the lat 2000's a bunch of companies wanted to make themselves seem "different" and "hip" and "new" from the stodgy old megacorps so they brought in foosball tables they told people to bring their dogs, and started taking political positions.

It turns out that the reason many previous generations didn't talk about politics and religion in public wasn't because they were stodgy old people that hated progress and were soulless greed bags, it's because it largely seems to engender hurt feelings, foster conflict, increase dysfunction and inhibit effectively allowing people to operate in a professional environment.

It seems that my whole generation is not just intent on reinventing everything that society already had with a tech prefix, but they are also intent on relearning the hard way the lessons many earlier generations learned and had passed on.
There was a point of "good enough" and then not long after that (2005ish?) essentially all motherboards started including onboard audio. I would imagine the market for separate audio cards shrunk below sustainable at that point. Most everything else in the case (GPUs, RAM) are headed there too, it's just a matter of incremental development on the existing trajectory.
That's good to know! I wasn't home for yesterday's event so I went off the article. I'm not actually sure what it bumped my thermostat to then.
As to the "Don't be evil" vs "Do the right thing", they're both rather ambiguous, but "Don't be evil" is passive, it's easier to condone inaction.

I'm going to try and use an example where we won't have to argue the semantics of whether or not standing by is "evil".

You see someone trip and fall on their face. They're a little busted up, bloody nose, a few scrapes, but nothing major. Walking past them and not helping them at all is "not evil". It's not "good" either. It's completely neutral. The right thing to do is to help the person up and see if they need anything.

Now, to ramp it up. If I see someone getting stabbed, I can easily justify staying out of it. I'm not the one stabbing. I don't know the situation. My only goal is to "not be evil". And since I'm not stabbing, I'm walking on, because I'm not the one being evil here. I can justify that decision in the framework of "don't be evil", but I can't in the framework of "do the right thing".

And of course, they're both slightly disguised trolley problems. "Don't be evil". What is evil? What does it mean to not be it? Where's the line where inaction stops being neutral and starts being evil? And of course, if I believe something to not be evil, there is not end to what I could do.

The same issue arises with "Do the right thing". We have to define the right thing. And sometimes doing nothing is the right thing. Sometimes the right thing is letting the bad thing happen because experience is the best teacher.
I'd agree that describing this potential conflict as "win" or "lose" oversimplifies the engagement. But I would definitely disagree here:

> But they also won't be physically prevented by western forces from occupying Taiwan. Western arms and intel will help fuel the Taiwan government until it's defeated.

I'm a little perplexed because you seem to understand what's at stake, but you don't think the US would fight? All evidence points to the contrary. I mean not only is the US military present, the actual stakes are existential physical and economic security. If you aren't going to fight for those stakes I don't know what you do.

> In parallel, Russia will solidify their holdings in western and southern Ukraine.

I think this remains to be seen. I'm curious about how well Ukraine will do under current operations. It's bewildering to me that Ukraine can just strike and blow up Russian targets with impunity, including in Belgorod which presumably had some sort of air defense capabilities. I don't think Russia wants a fight with NATO unless the goal is to make defeat easier to swallow, because engagement with NATO necessitates a nuclear response from Russia due to what would clearly appear to be a decisive victory for NATO based on Russian performance in Ukraine and I'm not sure Russia wants to use nuclear weapons either. Engagement with NATO seems to be a lose/lose.

Only if it's at your position. If you have a few that aren't at your position, but somewhat close, you might be able to have effective jamming covering your position without having anything actually at your position.
It depends. Possibly, depending on your system, your schedule, and the outside temperature.

Maintaining a temperature gradient takes energy, so the larger the difference between the interior temperature and the exterior temperature, the faster heat will enter the house, and thus the more energy that is required to remove it.

Turn off your a/c for an entire day and see how much the temperature inside increases. The bigger the difference between your a/c set temperature and the equilibrium temperature reached with the a/c off, the more significant this will be. For most people, it is not very significant -- often the equilibrium temperature is only 5-8F above set point, in which case the difference is really minimal.

On the other hand, your a/c performance and efficiency is not constant. On the one hand, there is energy lost to starting the compressor up to begin cooling, making really short cycles very inefficient. On the other hand, the system will become less efficient as the components heat up, so really long runs will be less efficient than shorter-but-not-too-short runs.

Separately, if you have a variable speed or multi-stage cooling, it will not be equally efficient at all speeds/stages. Of these three effects, this one is largest (in multi-stage systems) and will tend to dominate.

In the end, generally, turning off the a/c will tend to use a little bit less power if you stay gone for a long time, but not always and not that much.

Usually the more effective thing to do is to focus on running the a/c as much as possible during hours when the grid is mostly renewables or is otherwise underutilized, and "storing up the cold" is that you don't need to run it at peak times. You will use slightly more power (probably), but it will probably be cheaper and less stressful to the overall grid, and will make better use of the otherwise-wasted renewable power. (During peak daylight, overproduced solar power is often spent at low efficiencies to do things like pump water up hill (for energy storage), so if you can put that energy to productive use rather than using the energy released by the "water battery" during peak hours, your effective usage is lower, and this probably dwarfs the difference between "a/c all day" and "off while away"

Show HN: I wrote a book about remodeling old houses
Heya HN!

Over the summer I took a much needed break from working on software all day (I'm a designer who codes) and wrote a book about remodeling old houses instead.

Over the last 8 years or so I've found working with my hands – building things, flipping houses, learning new skills – to be incredibly fulfilling. There's just something about ending your day physically tired vs mentally tired that's just so different. In 2020 in particular I decided renovate our primary bath top to bottom, learning a ton about tiling, plumbing, electrical, and so much more.

After three massive house projects – and a ton of mistakes – I decided to write down everything I've learned about remodeling a house.

If you've ever wanted to try some DIY projects around the house or make bigger changes to your space you might enjoy the book.

I'd love to know what you think or hear about your projects!
That would be pretty much in line with the impression I've got, depending on what "late" means in that context. I wouldn't be surprised if scuba diving were something that were quite commonly picked up when people were already adults.

I'm not sure if you're intending that as a comment to what I wrote, though, and if so, in what sense. I don't think it necessarily matters if people pick up hobbies and things later in life. It still shows they aren't necessarily having a singular focused on tech at the cost of excluding other things.

Thanks for the recommendation. I avoided BitWarden for two reasons:
- No Safari extension
- Electron app

But now that 1Password is Electron and doesn't seem to work with Orion, I will give BitWarden a try again since the 1Password advantages were wiped out.
To me the tell was when Pre-Check was introduced. For a fee, we'll revert to the airport security process being exactly the same as it was pre-9/11, IE: empty your pockets but otherwise quick, efficient, slide through one machine and you are done. The only difference between the people in the different lines is how much money they were willing to pay for convenience.
Things like this aren't a single charge with a 40k year sentence, it's ~2000 charges of ~20 years, served sequentially. It means that if he's found not guilty of ~1999 of those charges, he still serves 20 years for the 2000th. And conversely, if he is found guilty of all ~2000 separate crimes, why shouldn't he receive a sentence for each? It might seem like a silly result, but what would you propose changing?
Maybe I should clarify why. I am a full stack engineer and I am familiar with the basic AppSec stuff you need to launch a service at a FAANG company. However I am not familiar with the basic IT Security stuff you should setup when forming a new company. When I was researching what I should setup for IT security the documentation began referencing things like DMARC, DNSSEC, DKIM etc. and I realized I don’t know what is the basic level of security I should setup.

So I just want to know what is the basic security stuff an early stage company should setup before hiring their first security engineer. The answer to this question can’t be “you should NOT be doing this” because you should still need security even before your first security hire or before you can afford a security consultant.
For HN it's usually better to post the landing page of your site, or in this case a blog post in the blog of your site. A Google Doc is weird. (It's not forbidden, just weird.)

> There are so many ways companies can actually tighten their budgets without layoffs. That's the real story.

My guess it that companies are already trying to reduce the cost. Also, not all the money gets in the same bag, so it's possible that reducing 1000000 in SaaS is not the same that reducing 1000000 in salaries.
It's interesting, when the right expresses beliefs unpopular with liberals, they then complain about cancel culture, twitter mobs, etc. When the left expresses opinions unpopular with the right, they're met with constant harassment with guns, death threats, fire and brimstone rhetoric, etc. Seems like one is a little more worrying than the other.
That's because CUDA is only for Nvidia GPUs and Apple doesn't support Nvidia GPUs, it has its own now.

What Is Signaling? (2015)
I think it’s the definition of “intolerable” in the above statement where there’s a problem. Who decides the basis for intolerance? More importantly, who would influence the definition of intolerance for their own ends? How do we coexist when my intolerance is different than your intolerance? What do I do when you decide I’m intolerable?
Not talking about things exacerbates the problem. Many Americans need to learn how to have productive argument with each other which means asking more questions and really listening rather than stating positions. I personally love talking to people who do not agree with me, but maybe I am a minority.
Some details are more important than others and some irrelevant.

I posit the relevant details will be equivalent to a few tens of thousand lines of code since the brain is a highly (energy) efficient organ and there is no room for complex algorithms.
Totally. It's not like I am gonna change my thinking. If anything, the opposite.

Enjoy encountering millions of people like me in this world. The silent majority.

Often times I wonder why Westerners never really learn that they shouldn't impose their way of life to the rest of the world.

Then I look at social media, and forum like this. I understand.

They still have their superiority complex, deep down to the bone.
