There's a difference between knowing and understanding and the older I get the more I understand just how true this is.

I would also add the cliche that with power comes responsibilities and most people don't respect that responsibility. Mistakes happen and obliviousness is a thing (communication is never perfect), but I've been shocked by how cavalierly some people will wield power that has real effects on other human beings many times in the past.

AFAIK, 3DS is opt-in on the merchant side, as it requires integration work. Visa & MS are pushing the envelope by only insuring against fraud if 3DS is properly setup. If the merchant chooses not to implement it (and some have decided not to, to reduce checkout friction), they have to bear the financial risk of the fraudulent transactions.
Teslas have THREE stopping modes.

The first is "Creep" which behaves like a classic automatic transmission. It basically matches the dual-pedal mode.

The second is "Stop", which matches the single-pedal mode you describe.

But there's a third mode, "Roll", which essentially mimics a manual transmission in neutral once speeds get below ~7 mph.

When I first got my Tesla, I came from a car with a manual transmission, so "Roll" made me feel at home and I used it for the first couple weeks. But once I tried out "Stop" mode and tried out single-pedal driving, I was sold. There's no going back. It's now exceptionally rare for me to use the brake pedal.
Well that was a strategy indeed but it can only go so far, additionally the same logistics apply to the food you place in the cache, you have to transport it there, the meat of the original article was, that really you are constrained in your movement by the terrains agricultural output, in high production terrain, your population and the enemies population as well will stockpile food for themselves that the army can draw upon, in places where the terrain is not suitable for high intensity agriculture the food available is much less and an army would quickly find itself exhausting all the stockpiles, in a matter of weeks, armies eat a lot of food.
> Ozone was added to the chamber air inflow in a quantity that was not harmful for humans but representative of higher indoor levels

Just in case anyone reads this and is thinking about buying one of the ozone emitting "air cleaners":

https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/ozone-generators-...

"The same chemical properties that allow high concentrations of ozone to react with organic material outside the body give it the ability to react with similar organic material that makes up the body, and potentially cause harmful health consequences. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs"
That itself is frustrating too though, right? Why do we need subsidies to be able to afford life’s most basic staples?

Interesting that you chose cows which are, by far, the worst animal for the environment from the clear-cutting of old growth forests, to the shocking contribution to climate change their gases produce, to the sheer amounts of water and food it takes to grow a full cow.

There's nothing on this planet (w.r.t. our diet) worse for the environment than beef. It's King Bad.
> Dollar cost averaging works when you have a steady stream of income that you're contributing to your investments and you have a heavily diversified portfolio.

To be pedantic (this is Hacker News after all), that is not Dollar cost averaging. That's lump sum investing at a regular interval.

Dollar cost averaging assumes you start with a pot of money and you choose to invest fractions of that initial pot over time. This is opposed to lump sum investing in which you'd invest the full pot of money at the start.

If you're sending them back one by one you need a guide for each.

If you send them in groups then you're not as optimal (first donkey is unladen in 3 days singly, but two donkeys are unladen in 5 days, say, meaning you need to keep feeding the first until the second is done, or equivalent via load balancing).

You could have trained donkeys that might self-navigate but that's moderately unlikely. Probably better to eat them or give them away free to the countryside.
I strongly agree. A lot of the current "meat" that people eat is highly processed. Its not like chicken nugget or burger is a "natural" product these days. Some burgers are made up of meats from up to 100s of animals[0].

Great comment but just before I get into it I'd like to clarify: we have no access to your clients' data. We are just starting out and we'll definitely consider special solutions for special needs but for the majority of the organizations giving access to frontend code is not a security issue. Especially for a credible company that complies with security standards (see startups like Netlify and Vercel).

> I think fake meat will be important in the future because there is no way we can eat the amount of meat and dairy that we do without many negatives.

Or we could eat like our grandparents used to eat back in the 50s-60s, at least in France meat was still a fairly occasional thing, you bought a good cut of meat every now and then and enjoyed it. Today we chug gallons of processed meat at every meal, most of it being bad on both the nutritional and taste aspect.

I never understood this meme. What exactly is the philosophy? A philosophy of how others should partake in a lifestyle that you don’t?

I see a lot of talk lately how if the Federal Reserve needs to get the "Federal Funds Effective Rate" to a "not artificially 0-2% low" (like we've had for a while due to various forms of quantitative easing) that stock returns of typical "6% after inflation" with dividends reinvested aren't as likely.

Any thoughts?

Most people have long since forgotten about all the ways the American food system has been engineered over the years. In a way that's a success because things like famine are unthinkable to the average American. It's something that happens in "some other country."

It's part of the disconnect that industrialization and urbanization has brought. People don't really understand agriculture or agriculture policy anymore.

Things like adding iodine to salt; iron, thiamin, and niacin to bread; extra vitamin D to milk. Federal stockpiles of various types of food from grain to cheese. All done to improve the general health and wellbeing, and as a measure of insurance in the event of war or disaster.

The only thing most people on the internet seem to know about today is the old politician's cry of "We're paying farmers not to grow food!" Yeah, well, there's a reason for that. When the farmers go out of business, you have no food.

It's not ideal. It's not perfect. But it's worked, and has kept America fat and happy for almost a century. Try to understand more than what's right in front of you.
> Those tricks are not as easy to pull anymore.

Arguably, they did with Bitwarden already, no? Ie even if they don't do anything bad - they still executed steps of free users and large VC checks.

Which is to say, does it not seem like they've already executed the "trick"? Users are already there, they have cash in hand. Their motivations don't matter much here, we as users can only see their actions.

But i don't follow bitwarden at all. I avoid free products for this "trick" reason. If i'm not paying or self hosting, i'm not interested heh. Am i reading Bitwarden wrong?

Very interesting! A few months ago I was toying with the idea of using a permanent magnet in the stem and permanent/electromagnet at the bottom for adjustable weight / position sensing.

While it works in theory, in practice the feeling of magnet-on-magnet force curve feels really unnatural for typing (since it's not linear like most springs). Maybe some combination of both approaches would work better in my case.
Unfortunately most mainstream boards have one PEG / PCIe x16 slot, one M.2 slot and maybe 1-3 PCIe x1 slots (usually x1, even if they are x4/x16 mechanically). Those ancillary PCIe slots are generally multiplexed through the chipset and 1-2 generations behind the CPU's PCIe generation, so they aren't even good enough for networking or another SSD (not much faster than SATA, so what's the point).

Even USB-C remains a niche feature on the latest socket 1700 (Intel) and AM4 (AMD, presumably extending to AM5), despite being standard on laptops for years. Part of this is because graphics are often not on the motherboard, so the motherboard has to include a DP-in socket to support graphics out over USB-C.
In practicality there was also another solution in the ancient world. If you're going conquering you're probably going somewhere with people to conquer. Those people probably have food. Just take theirs.
This is on the heels of "what happened to the discreet sound card?"

Let me ask you this: What is left to plug in? Most removable gadgets are USB because USB is fast enough. The devices which actually need the bandwidth, latency or memory mapping are already on the motherboard. And the people who need more are a minority.

The only real use case for PCIe to the average PC user is for connecting a GPU or NVMe. Moving forwards I see the converged hodgepodge of USB4 and beyond killing the x1-x4 PCIe slot with servers being the last hold out for high slot counts.
That's a good point. I figure lock-in might hit the enterprise users hardest down the line.
This is great! I've been using Conversations as my main chat client bridged to IRC and my phone number (using jmp.chat for phone and disroot.org or jmp's IRC bridges) for a while, but I can imagine phone and IRC aren't generally the ones most people want. Having more bridges will be really nice!
You are describing in-person purchases, but the discussion is about online purchases.

The EU+UK and Visa/MasterCard have different policies for these. Low-value [1] contactless purchases only occasionally require a PIN, higher-value in-person purchases always do, and online ones require the 2FA system linked above.

I wouldn't want it. In my 15 years of using a credit card I've had fewer than a handful of times where there was a fraudulent transaction on my account. The credit card company covered me, and in total I don't think it has exceeded a few hundred dollars. And in that same time I've made thousands of transactions. The addition of a 2FA step for every one of those transactions would be an enormous cost increase on my attention and time.
I'm running the kind of eclectic setup that expansion slots were meant for. A board that has three full length PCI-E slots in it, with three video cards.

Running a multiseat machine (i.e. truly independent login stations) pretty much requires a video chip per seat.

It's been an interesting ride. Graphics card fans weren't really meant for 24x7 operations. After a recent power failure, gummed up lubricant caused one not to start again, and the card suffered heat death. Also multi-seat login was abandoned, i.e. broken and tmk never fixed, in GDM, so I have to use LightDM with no alternatives. Also there were stability issues with nVidia cards, but three Radeon cards work fine.

Possibly with the latest hardware, a GPU-per-seat setup could be done with Thunderbolt? Anyway meanwhile we soldier on on the cheap, with a circa 2012 vintage ultra-high-end gamer machine still providing adequate compute power for all the screens in the house.

There are problems with eating the beasts, but in certain cases it can extend your range, but not as much as you might think.
Even small scale production far outstrips the carbon footprint of a plant-based diet. There's no reason to fully substitute "meat" with Impossible products. Those products are designed for meat-eaters to help them transition to plant-based diets.

Once you get used to a plant-based diet the idea of "simulated meat" is absurd and not desire-able.

It's not for everyone; there are people whose cultures or physical needs prevent them from adopting such a diet and far be it from me or anyone else to dictate their diets for them.

However there remains the fact that beef production is unsustainable. Nearly 80% of our plant-based production goes to livestock feed. That's land that could be used to feed humans. And we'd use less land to do so. Instead the US and Canada have been increasing investments in the beef industry which is going to places like Brazil where they continue to slash and burn Amazon rain-forest in order to keep up the increasing demand for livestock feed.

The problem is a demand-side issue. Subsidized access to beef products has led to consumer perception that beef products are an affordable and accessible luxury. If we could even figure out what "sustainable beef" looks like it would be incredibly expensive and hardly available to anyone. The beef industry doesn't want that: it needs grocery and restaurant chains and ever-increasing consumer markets for its products to continue to grow its profits.

Which means continued deforestation, CO2 emissions, and lower sequestration rates.

I think subsidies should be removed and investment in plant-based alternatives continue in order to lower demand without price-shocks and panic. Once people realize how freaking expensive their dietary choices really are we might see the scales tip back. But we won't see that happen if governments and banks continue to artificially prop up low prices.
There's architectural spaghetti and there are lower levels of spaghetti.

COBOL introduced alternatives to unconditional jumps in the 60s. You can convert unconditional jumps to different control flow structures through static analysis. Plusfort does this for FORTRAN pretty well. I'm sure there's an equivalent tool for COBOL somewhere. The problem isn't merely converting goto to PERFORM-TIMES. It's that deep in that loop you're also doing raw database operations, writing stuff to a IBM 3270 terminal, and triggering a batch job to the program monitor.
Sure, it doesn't need to happen to everyone to be a valid concern, but it needs to happen to someone. So who? Who is this person who has been attacked by the "cancellation mob" and fired for saying nothing more than "Cloudflare shouldn't have dropped Kiwifarms, if a crime was committed it was a matter for law enforcement?"
I work with clients in a multi-billion dollar industry (they themselves are in the hundreds of millions in revenue) who sell by-products of food production for cattle feed. In this situation, the food is being grown for humans anyways and only the waste product is used. It doesn't really fit your black & white view of the situation.

Another big one is how they purposefully lied about masks not working at first to protect supplies (or at least didn’t bother recommending them), then turned to everyone should use cloth masks, then cloth masks don’t work, and then masking kids all day long at school was pointless, etc.

The whole back and forth, unquestioning compliance at all costs strategy, and purposeful deception just makes everyone exhausted, skeptical, and builds resentment.

The worst part is that there isn’t any big plans in place to get supplies for better-than-N95 respirators for hospital workers. I have doubts even N95s will be widely available to the public by the next pandemic.
> Everything about banking in the USA was seemingly decades behind my experiences in Northern Europe, so it may take a while for American banks to figure out credit card 2FA…

Having worked closely with multiple banks' credit card departments, this assertion is incorrect. American banks (and merchants) choose to not implement more security for card-not-present transactions because it meaningfully dents conversion rates for online commerce. Same goes for credit card PINs which are extremely common in Europe but rarely seen in the US. Most merchants and banks are okay with a non-zero level of fraud because stricter fraud prevention methods negatively impact user experience.

Here's an article going into more depth about the tradeoffs involved: https://bam.kalzumeus.com/archive/optimal-amount-of-fraud/
> Every European I know pays their card off every month, so this tactic is much less lucrative; better to increase security in that case.

What do you mean? Credit cards are incredibly rare in European countries, and all that i know of don't have any option outside of paying it in full at the end of the month.
Telecom signal modulators are almost exclusively based on the Kerr effect or acousto-optics. Both effects have been known for at least 100 years and have nothing to do with nonlinear optics. The development of modern modulators was always driven by telecom and then applied to scientific experiments, not the other way round.
I fail to see how this is a problem. The compiler ensured that the compiled code will always work.

And if you put that in you API and someone call foo with an odd perfect number, well it will fail to compile.

It's conditional compilation, exactly what C does with macros. Except here, you don't have to learn an awful and honestly, sometimes, incomprehensible parallel language.

Zig has some shortcomings but I fail to see how this is one.

I don’t know if it was initial propaganda or what, but literally right before COVID became a thing, there’s was a couple news articles that popped up on HN saying there has been a lab leak from wuhan and the government is locking down the area.

Three weeks later there’s this giant pandemic. I remember telling my wife about it in December before Christmas but now I can’t find any articles dating back to that time.

My point is not that the lab leak is true, but in this modern world is it literally impossible to know what’s true and what’s propaganda.

So you can get 30 IMSI switches per month... that doesn't sound like anywhere near enough for me.

Also - what happens if you're on a low traffic cell site and make the change. Suddenly a new IMSI appears on that tower (With a big jump from it's last location). I'm pretty sure I could track someone with this service.
A good parallel is the rising costa of electricity in the UK - should small businesses fail and citizens go cold because of geopolitical issues & wars outside their control causing price spikes? Or should the government help smooth things out. The latter seems ideal while the longer term problems are worked out.
