I'm so surprised! (/s)

Honestly I'm glad I've managed to mostly de-google my life at this point (besides my smart phone).. I honestly dont trust them to keep anything beyond certain core services (youtube, search, gmail, drive, google play, stuff like that) around for any reasonable length of time
I haven't owned one of their devices, but it seems like Linus[1] is not satisfied with their current situation.

This is one of the best descriptions of the unique duality of human nature I’ve ever seen. Very convincing on first pass.
Was this what struck Michael Douglas?
I can recommend to read Allen Carr's "Easyway to stop smoking" if you haven't already. I had been smoking for 15 years total as well, tried to stop at least 6 times (sometimes for 18 months, with the help of Nicorette and e-cigs) and was telling myself "today is the last day" every single day. But I was constantly tempted and was always picking it up again. A lot of ex-smokers I knew kept recommending me this book with almost magical claims.
I finally begrudgingly read it and stopped from one day to the next. The craziest thing is that it was actually easy to stop this time and gave me great satisfaction. I have stopped for 2 years now and am confident that I will never smoke again (contrary to all other attempts).
So Keffals is a liar?
Because I'm trying to heat my home in winter.

Outside = outside_outside = outdoors.

Not, uhhh, inside outside like the kitchen counter.
I don't know the specific law, but FCC does expect a phone to be able to reach 911 (e.g., 911 Act). There must already be a penalizing process or fines in place for manufacturers who fail to meet basic standards.

I'm not sure what criminal liability would look like, though. Who do we put in jail? The dev? QA? People who CR'd the bug? The TPM who proposed the feature? The manager who allocated time? The skip who initiated the whole project? Should they share blame and multithread a 7 month sentence together and do 1 month together?

I agree w/ you though. My company needs to alert me if any LOC I'm working on could land me in prison and I'll gladly switch projects. I definitely don't want that burden.
I wasn't disputing that though. However, because of the batteries included, it has significantly more overhead than lua.
If you have a function with a loop to iterate the inner list and place that function within another loop iterating the outer list, isn't that the same thing?

What would you have the inner function do?
> These people aren't willing to accept anything but victory.

"Those people," and myself, view KF and their ilk as harmful to society. What exactly do you suggest should be accepted if not victory?
Not always, if you’ve been close to someone who lived into their 90s and were barely there for a decade due to mental decline you wouldn’t necessarily think it was the best way to go. Rotting in a nursing home confused and suffering for a couple of decades isn’t luxury.
Following on the discussion yesterday about "science is political and that's bad" (and posters saying "no, it's not"):

Nature Magazine has soiled itself irrevocably with its political stances. Now when you read anything like this, you have to ask, "was this written because of some new scientific information, or was it just in furtherance of their agenda?"

The pinout is fine. You can charge a Switch with random adapters fine, powering docked mode is trickier because older PD adapters don't support it but newer ones do. The Switch adapter will happily charge my phone, tablet, eReader, etc and I have used it as my only charger on trips where I don't bring a laptop. Perhaps the problem here is OnePlus and whatever THEY do to get their fast charging spec?

Nintendo did more non-standard stuff with the dock port dimensions. Not so much pinouts. 3rd party docks fried Switches because of shit power management sending more voltage than the Switch needed.

EDIT: The problem seems to actually be that the Switch charger only supports 5V 1.5A whereas some phones require 2 or 3A and are not compatible.
You can still put effort into obtaining stuff. You just don't have to pay.

You can still do art. You can still create stuff. It's just that it's more like building software than building houses: the tools are free, the materials are free, you don't need any permits, etc.
Illusions by Richard Bach. I notice something new everytime - a far cry from when my mom told me to read it, and I read the back and cringed. I've given away so many copies now.
Pixel 5 is still solid. I skipped the 6 because of comments on HN, but I'll probably have to update to the 7 when it comes out.

In the meantime, I'd also like to try the Librem 5 US. This thread is convincing me to give it a shot anyway.
The fact that this has stuck around so long feels like a consequence of triaging your bugs purely by the number of affected users. After all, likely less than 0.1% of users ever run into this bug, it can't be that big of an issue right?
I interpreted it as film. For mechanical the old Pentax K-1000 is a nice entry option.
It seems to me the problem is we are losing all the knowledge of the 'old generation'. This problem is wider than just in the tech industry. What we need is a tech that can capture the knowledge of Elders and individuals before it is lost. And also be able to access it in some way to answer questions and solve problems without having to analyse each person's contribution individually.
Yeah, this ability should be strictly reserved to governents!
The person she doxxed was a doxxer themselves. They gave up their privilege of anonymity when they started directing harassment to other people as a hobby. Can't take the heat? Get out of the kitchen.
It was a lower limit this time because it was summer, so people wanted to run the A/C. The equivalent program in the winter will be an upper limit instead, since then people will want to run the heater.
Nuclear is very important. It's just not scaling fast enough.

I don't see a future where next-gen SMR nor fusion gets to cost parity with renewables quickly or easily. They will have to scale up via beachhead markets adjacent to existing electricity demand sources.

Long term, I do think economically viable fusion will supplant renewables, but that's decades away.
Care to list the disempowered groups?
>I've got a Dell USB-C charger that continually drops out when I try to charge a Lenovo laptop with it

Interesting, we have various Dell and Lenovo type-C and thunderbolt docks at work and they can each cross charge the Lenovo and the Dell laptops we have.

Maybe your charger is faulty.
"Vinegar - Tube Cleaner" blocks all YouTube ads in Safari.

It also replaces YouTube's video player with the native HTML5 player, so you can play videos in the background or watch them in picture-in-picture mode.

Vinegar can also be used together with Sponsorblock for a completely ad-free experience. It's a difference as night and day.
People who lived in caves might have done a great job of mocking the idea that towns and cities would be better than caves, and yet here we are.

(But thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out).
Criticism by British people only adds credibility to that book. Even Tirthankar Roy - which seems to be of Indian descent is working for London School of Economics.

So these quotes don't convince me that this book was not "well researched".

I do take into account that Shashi Tharoor as I check on Wikipedia is a politician while born in UK he holds political positions in India - which convinces me that he has all the incentives to write book with "zeal of holy warrior".

Seems like adding link to Shashi wikipedia page and explaining who he is does much better job in showing that book might be more colorful than it should be.
I have a somewhat different financial game I use to motivate myself to work seriously on my hobbies. When I have a piece of gear I want to buy, like let's say new hiking boots. I make my self complete a challenge where say every time I run hills I put 5 dollars in savings towards the boots. That way I can't just buy the gear without putting in serious work at the activity first. Same thing for computing stuff, or photography, art or music. Want a new guitar? Need to play the one I have more to earn it first.
On Linux/x86-64 int is 31 bits, so you've probably introduced "1000s" of security bugs where the attacker only needs the persistence to add 2 billion items to a network input, local file or similar, to generate a negative pointer of their choosing.

Any such code submitted to one of our projects would be rejected or fixed to use the proper type.
All phones have these problems. Every phone has glaring problems you have to live with or work around.
They don't mean that it's creating anything but just that index funds depend on "real" market participants to buy and sell on good and bad news, forecasts, etc. If you imagine them expanding to where there are no (or almost no) real buyers and sellers, then they don't really work, and also the market doesn't really work. Though I think you'd have to get to a very (maybe impossibly) high share of passive investors for this to really occur.

That's their analogy to ML/AI art: imagine it takes over and puts most artists out of business... are the models just stuck, taking their own output as input and not really improving? Similarly here it's maybe not possible for this to happen to such an extreme degree that the imagined problem would come to pass.
It could be argued that smoking, alcoholism, and obesity are all means of coping with a high stress lifestyle. I wonder how many more people would die from other reasons if they were no longer able to use those coping mechanisms. Or maybe more importantly, how much total happiness would they have in their life if they had the extra time. I say this as a fairly recent cancer survivor if that matters.

edit:
Does anyone know if psychologists or sociologists have a formula for quantifying happiness? Something like mechanical advantage. It seems intuitive that certain behaviors can act like a fulcrum by increasing happiness now at the expense of sadness later, either born by you or those close to you. I'm sure we've all had smokers joke that you can keep the last 20 years of life, maybe they're on to something.
Strong same. While 1 swallow doesn't make a summer the combination of 1/3rd of Pakistan being underwater plus heatwaves in Europe and blackouts in China with all the other stuff does get concerning.

Maybe the 'establishment' causing scientists to only disclose the most conservative and defensible estimates misled us as to how fast and severe this thing would be.

I caught myself getting frustrated the supermarket was out of instant coffee the other day and realized I'm in no way mentally prepared for what's coming.
Buy iPhone my friends. I spent decades defending android but enough was enough.
Yeah, me too. Zero problems. I've also successfully dialed 911 with it. Though it was in Seattle so I got put on hold for 5 minutes ^_^. I guess the linked thread says the issue is in Australia.
This is an article from February just reposted.

Nothing has been announced and it's been 7 months since this post and games continue to be released on Stadia, they have even released new features to the platform and developers for the platform have been shown what is coming to the platform soon and described it as being in good hands and something that will allow it to reach much more users.

I continue to use Stadia and love it, I know a lot of people hate on it for some reason but it works excellently and is plenty of entertainment for a busy casual like me, it also allows me to have awesome game nights with a long distance friend who is on an ageing Mac and no console.

But in the article it says 'That technology, which Google is now calling “Google Stream,” is now the only remnant of the would-be AAA gaming platform once known as Stadia.', they just released the Pro games for September and a few new ones, So why are you posting this nonsense from months ago OP?
> If I had a USB port, and a cable that fit, it would charge my phone effectively. Somewhere in the transition to USB-C ,we lost that.

Nonsense. Your phone is not trying to pull 50W, any correctly implemented type C cable will do.

The complexity of Type C is for things you were not able to do at all: high-power applications (>40W) and / or high data rates over a single cable.

I've a single cable which charges my laptops, connects all the devices plugged into the display, and carries video to two different displays.

That does require a cable with somewhat high specs, and it's unfortunate that labelling isn't the clearest and unsuitable cables are difficult to diagnose, but before this was only an option via bespoke proprietary docks. Now it's just a standard cable.
What part sounds horrible? You can have whatever life you want. Assuming sufficiently high-quality VR, it is obviously better than actual reality.
Imagine a program where by signing up, you'd be given a million dollars today, but then a year from now, you'd be sold into slavery for the next ten years. Should we allow that just because it's voluntary?
Sure, every home could have its own craft beer brewing kit.

The thing is, unless you're enjoying it as a hobby, it's better to just buy it pre-made. You don't need to buy materials to have on hand, or guide the process of making it. And, you don't have to wait for it to be finished.

Same goes for any number of other hobbies- silk screen printing t shirts, candle and soap making, etc.

Would I want enough printable materials on hand to print a couch at any given time, or would I want to order them, then manually print a couch? Or just order one from a local print shop and have it delivered already made?

99% of people don't want to lose valuable storage space in their home to raw materials if they don't have to.
I had the opportunity to pick up one of their "cluster-in-a-box" servers (two servers and a shared RAID array in a single 10U chassis) super cheaply one time, and ultimately passed on it because I would have had to run a dedicated 20A circuit for it, and it would have overwhelmed my home A/C system (nice in the winter though).
Something that's worked for me is to pay for a group fitness/yoga class. The first couple of months are easy. You'll see enough results and you're also motivated. By then you'll make enough connections that you don't want to "let down" by not going. However, it is much more expensive than going to a gym - about three times as much. Still worth it for some people like me.
I regularly charge my headphones off my laptop's 90W USB-C adapter. If your device overheats while charging it's not the fault of the charger it's a fault of the device. Don't buy crappy devices that will immolate themselves.
If there were nothing at all, that would really be something eh
For the iPhone, you can always buy two generations back to save a few bucks. I bought an iPhone 11 a couple months ago for $499 plus tax and it’s a perfectly good phone.
Cloudflare is framing this like there is an imminent emergency that they just averted. I think the burden is on them to bear the supporting facts. The blog post doesn't have any.
It's a good thing we have a vaccine for several of the cancer-causing HPV variants now. It's essentially a vaccine against some cancers -- I would get it if you can.
The quiz is wrong because they assume that the length of short is less than int in some questions. A short can be the same length as an int. It just can't be longer.
Hm, if they switched the schedule up a little and had a workout every other day (with a rest day in between) they could have been working out 4-5 times per week.

If anyone's unsure about the maths on that then don't worry, "you don't count the day you're on when you're counting days " ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eECjjLNAOd4

Production and decay are only valuable to learn because you need to learn how to deal with them.

Learning about production and decay in the VR future is no more valuable than learning how to make fire from sticks is valuable today. OK, it's intellectually interesting, but it's just not a practical consideration in daily life any more.

Re health and sickness: muscles would obviously atrophy, but you don't care because you don't need them. I think diseases would spread less because physical human bodies won't be mixing as much.

I'm not sure what happens to human reproduction. Maybe human-inhabited VR is only a brief prelude to the true AI-owned future anyway.
Plan9-derived OS's are at their best when used on multiple systems connected as a network or cluster, not just on a single "spare" box. What the Linux ecosystem calls "containerization" is part of the basic workings of the system, and you can use the "cpu" facility to execute processes remotely (perhaps via a "cloud" service) whilst giving them access to local resources and doing I/O on your local system. It's essentially aiming to create a completely transparent replacement for 'ssh' and its derivatives, including orchestration, containerization etc. frameworks.
To add, Korean as a language existed long before hangul. There was a writing system where they used Chinese characters to encode the words semantically. Like how modern Korean still uses Chinese words in the "backend" so to speak, and the old system was exactly how Japanese Kanji works, you write the Chinese character and you read it with the Korean pronunciation (unwritten, and you had to memorize it, just like Japanese--difficult!)

Now the kicker is, they encoded pure-Korean words using stand-ins using Chinese. Particles would be written in Chinese with ridiculously complex rules, and pure Korean words were written phonetically in Chinese, with the pronunciation of the Chinese characters would be "close enough" to the pronunciation of the Korean word. It was a horrendous system which is why hangul was made (like the yangban nobles literally needed full time learning all day for like a decade to master it, and the literacy test to get into high status government jobs was literally just to write a few essays)

The first few lines of 훈민정음 (basically a declaration that hangul is a thing we made, please use it) starts off with "the language of our land is different to that of the chinese and our writing system is not compatible. For that reason the uneducated subjects of the kingdom have trouble accomplishing their desires.
So I (king sejong) find pity in this so I have created a new system of 28 characters, and would like everyone to practice it daily so that people can use it comfortably"
Just make a similar bet with a friend or family member instead.
I don't know, and I don't even remember where I heard it, I think it was on here but I dont know. I think maybe I was wrong about 'bank fraud' and the term being pushed was 'bank libel' instead of identity theft. Because all the negative sides of supposed 'identity theft' were from the banks saying the individual did something they did not.
> Nearly every patient in the developed world is aware that all three of these are bad

Smoking, yes, we seem to have broad support for that one (way beyond what the facts support, even, but that's probably for the best). But the other two? I don't think so. There's a lot of confusion out there about alcohol use. Most people still think small amounts are basically fine (maybe even good!), even though more recent studies [0] suggest that isn't true.

And we're trending the wrong way on obesity, too. [1]

I think giving your life for something else is the only altruistic act.

But in general, I think there are almost zero situations where my death is worth more to others than my continued life. I don't live in a movie plot.
I'm happy for the author, but I've always found these sort of tricks to be a chore. I bought a cargo ebike and use it for 99% of my traveling, including a 20 mile commute to work (~40 minutes each way). Now you can exercise for free, no tricking necessary.

Sadly you aren't going to become super muscular riding around a bike, but I assure you, you'll be in excellent shape even with an ebike.

Maybe it's because I'm lazy, but I find having an active life is superior to exercising frequently and having an otherwise inactive life (I also use a deskcycle and a treadmill desk setup for about 2-3 hours at work).

I recently bought a 20lb weighted vest to add some resistance when I'm walking around the house. we'll see how that goes.
My coworker did a one sided bet. He pays $2K if he didn’t lose weight. The friends he’d pay would deliver food to his place, which made him more determined haha.
> It's unlikely that actual people weren't hurt because of these bugs.

Do you want criminal prosecution for actual harm, or for potential harm?

America has this habit of reaching for the biggest gun it has to solve problems, or make a statement.

It always backfires.

...That's always going to exist. It's gone by different names. It's why you aren't supposed to share personal info on the Web, btw, because anyone can get to it, now without even leaving the comfort of home.

The bus has sailed on that one though.
The guy who had his Google account deleted for sending pictures of his children to his doctor is definitely upset about cloud providers scanning his content!
Even though they aren’t regulated as a utility, they are very highly regulated. The examples you gave are just highly-politicized examples of a now-common standard and practice that all processors operating in the US have been required to uphold (not that it was involuntary) for decades. That’s part of why Stripe and other Payment Facilitator services have exploded: it’s not easy to open a traditional payment processing account, and very easy to get it shut down for seemingly random reasons.

Despite the online fervor over this, payment processors are clearly within their legal rights to shut down payment processing for abuse - even if it is only suspected.

> Most (almost all in reality) of the Nazi symbolism is from people who are shit-posting

Many people don’t have the luxury of assuming that people brandishing Nazi symbolism are shit-posting. For quite a few that symbolism represents an existential threat.
Gotta love the two ads that block the user from seeing the free tool lol
The obsession that you can live longer by doing this healthy trick is not really helpful.

It's not simply a matter of 'avoiding cancer' but more 'avoiding a slow, painful death due to cancer'. It's not even a matter of "you have to die of something!" Most forms of cancer are not a nice way to die. If you can avoid getting it so that you die of something else, especially something really nasty like lung cancer, you definitely want to give that a go.

I'm old enough to have seen friends and relatives die of cancer and I really don't want to go that way. Seeing the affect on those people, and even more on their families who had to watch them fade away, was $^&%ing horrible.
> somehow this really discouraged me from looking deeper into it.

I was also discouraged by that remark. But I've never had (or even used) Alexa or Siri or whatever; they're a cool idea, but I'm not prepared to rely on either of those sevice providers. So I'm interested.
Excercise IS one of those things that responds to direct pay incentives.
> The person she doxxed was a doxxer themselves.

This analogy is interesting because it also applies to Keffals.
The older you are when you smoke, the worse it is for you. Smoking in your twenties is far less harmful in terms of its likelihood to cause cancer than smoking in your forties, fifties, or sixties. The damage gets worse with every decade of your life.

Just stop. In five years' time, you'll wonder why you didn't stop sooner.
