Depends on the home. My parents house wasn't designed with one. My house is designed with one. It took me about a month to understand that it acted like a giant leak in the house. When the wind blows across the exhaust it pulls air in or out. Also, it allows rodents and insects to come in & out as they please. So I just plugged the thing up with some old rags.
That's a great point. I look at it from an ops perspective and not the headache the devs deal with. I see where you are coming from. Thanks for the insight.
That went a very different direction than I expected. Thanks for sharing :)
Concerns have been voiced that a lot of harm has been done by Strunk and White.
That’s more action than Twitter has taken against the Taliban accounts active on Twitter. They even issued a statement [0] about it, months after banning the President of the United States:

> Twitter gave the Taliban a green light to keep tweeting while noting the social media site would “continue to proactively enforce” its rules on the “glorification of violence, platform manipulation and spam.”

Unfortunately, as with many devices, Airtags can be used for bad as well as good.

I own a number of them and have attached them to things that are valuable to me, and not just financially. The car is the prime example, but I've also attached one to my dog's harness. He's a rescue Fox Terrier with a prey drive like a missile and no recall skills whatsoever (yet): if he slips his lead somehow we have at least some slight chance of finding where he's run off to. Likewise my waist-mounted hiking bags - if I lose the one that holds my keys or first-aid kit on a long walk I could be in big trouble when I get to my destination. Sadly, the Guardian doesn't mention the positive aspects...
Look into the sondors meta cycle. Around $6500.

I self-host and frequently block entire ISPs. It's very common to get the same mail for days on end from a different IP, and often a different domain each time. Some months DO accounts for over 50% of my spam, for example.

I'm sure there's more graceful ways to handle it if I was willing to put far too much of my own time into fighting a losing battle. but adding a REJECT line for a whole netblock takes seconds.

I don't begrudge the big hosts for treating whole ISPs as cesspits as I do the very same thing.
I used to work with a lot of ex-Pivotal folks. Their workflow was something like:

1. Talk through the requirements and write down some key bullets

2. Whiteboard some design options. Make sure you have at least 2 interesting ones.

3. Prototype them out. Decide on your favorite.

4. Delete the prototype.

5. Start writing tests now that you know where you want to be, and TDD from there.

The key point is that TDD has to start from a relatively defined sense of what you want. If you don’t have that it’s totally fine explore. Just don’t ship that code.
Linux is every bit as bad on this front, especially when it comes to GUI apps. The only reason it isn't completely obvious is that most apps are recompiled from source for every version update of every distro out there.
Are you using multiple devices with each bluetooth product, or are you using multiple bluetooth products with a single device? In my experience the latter is mostly the same across Apple and non-apple. Where Apple's experience seems to be noticeably better is using an apple bluetooth product with multiple devices.

For example, I recently tried to switch from some airpods to a pair of Anker liberty earbuds. I have 4 devices that I regularly use the headset with, an iPhone, an iPad a macbook air and a work laptop. The airpods switch almost without any effort on my part between my personal devices, connecting automatically to whichever of the devices I am currently interacting with when I take them out. On the occasions when that doesn't happen, selecting them from the bluetooth menu connects them without issue. For my work laptop, because it's not registered with my personal accounts, the airpods don't connect automatically but after pairing them once during the initial setup, when I select them in the menu, they connect reliably and quickly.

By contrast the anker earbuds apparently are only able to store connection information for two devices at a time. While I can pair them to all 4 devices, when I take them out, they will always connect to whatever the last device they were connected to, and if I connect from the bluetooth menu/settings on the device, they will only connect to the second to last device they were connected to. For the other devices, they will attempt to connect and eventually timeout. Even though the device still has the earbuds registered, the only way to connect it to device 3 or 4 is to delete it from the device, and go through the entire re-pairing process, at which point the earbuds will stop connecting to what is now the 3rd to last device they were connected to.
Congratulations on all the product development progress!

Wouldn't actually using Excel create less friction for potential users?

Your target audience is theoretically Excel users who want/need to code instead, but I think you're alienating the power users of Excel, because their power tools are unavailable in the Mito spreadsheet editor.

For example, have you considered dumping the dataframes to "smart" xlsx files with backing code that connects to a local server, listens to worksheet events and tells the server everything that happens so it can write python code in the source notebook?
Thanks!

Depends on what you mean by "hate speech". It's a literally Orwellian term designed to be bad but not specific.

It's also the same Toyota that did the Yaris GR, so they know a thing or two about manuals. They've always done what just works, for the target car.

Hell, the CVT in the Yaris can actually feel good, it's relatively responsive and gives a linear push (when the electric engine is charged, going on pure ICE is hell). You just have to enjoy the BRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You could put a price limit on e.g. water, solar and wind and give kickbacks to the buyers from the share of production of those.

Not paying the average production price plus margins is just not working out very well.

If we are going for the stochastic terrorism angle I don't know where to draw the line, as anything could incite some unhinged lunatic. Look at the 200+ school shootings in the US as an example.

I have seen more attempts to get a group of people do something against Kiwifarms than I have seen on that site to do something to other people. They just have horrible opinions and are grossly offensive. Again, I've only only read probably 0.01% of the content on that site so this isn't an objective fact.

There was another comment about SSN/Credit score and PII. I think that is a legitimate line of criticism against Kiwifarms and I would expect them to get shutdown for breaking GDPR and other PII laws. I expect this is actually illegal (or should be?).

If people think it is acceptable for them to go down due to their nasty comments then please let's get rid of YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and only allow comments that have been approved by human monitoring system like in China. I'm not being sarcastic, these sites are much worse for a far greater number of people than Kiwifarms.
As a clutch enthusiast, I would welcome this innovation if it actually improved EV motor performance. If its only purpose is to simulate the ICE experience, I'm not interested.
Most laws on hate speech don't use the term hate speech.

That depends how much smoothing you want and how much you're prepared to pay for it.

Every AC-DC converter necessarily has some energy storage in it to cover the part of the cycle where the voltage crosses through zero. There's capacitors on the input and output of buck converters. But smoothing over more than one AC cycle? Not really much point in doing that.
To keep discussion civil even with trolls creating new accounts just to post - what a bunch of nonsense sparkled with needless insults. You can do better than that.

Yeah, but how do you draw the line? How do you figure out how to be comfortable without being a slow-quitter but also how to be friendly ambitious and creative without overstepping your boundaries at the job? I'm really bad at this. Sometimes I just regurgitate ideas I read online and I don't even realise how stupid they are until I find a counterpoint somewhere else.

When I got into my current job and saw years of spaghetti PHP, all I wanted to do was change everything and even reimplement all the CodeIgniter3 stuff in Laravel so we could have a better system but my coworkers made me realise that such a change would be detrimental to the team's performance because they're comfortable with the current system. Just last week I was reading about Chesterton's fence and it definetly applies.

The highest performer on my team has developed the system in PHP years ago and he's kinda the only one who really groks it. Jonathan Blow talks about highest performers as the one who know how to program better but it's actually those who know the system better and I just don't wanna step on their toes.
Plato | Founding Engineer #3 | Onsite/Remote | San Francisco | https://plato.io

Today's OS's are based on metaphors from the 60s. The web was invented by a physicist to share Sangria recipes. Smartphones are designed for infants. We can do better. We need a new app platform rooted in the ideas of Alan Kay, Douglas Engelbart, and Bret Victor. More on this here: https://vision.plato.io.

Plato is a well funded seed-stage startup building this platform. We build a low-code platform that lets anyone in your company build live internal tools. We sell to operations heavy industries like fintech, healthcare, and logistics, where the demand for internal tools has skyrocketed in the past five years.

We're hiring a founding engineer who wants to earn significant equity and help us democratize computing. Learn more at https://jobs.plato.io/founding-engineer
Kind of a weird question. It definitely is a respected area of research, yeah, and Google no doubt do excellent work.

Google's problem is not a lack of seriousness per se, it's that they seem to be stuck in a downward spiral of hard-left blank slateism that views the general public not as humans but as an unwashed mass whose brains are basically empty EEPROMs waiting to be flashed through the eyeballs. Whilst they are elite and super-smart and can handle AI, everyone else would be immediately converted into drooling zombies.

So they've got stuck in this pattern that goes like:

1. OpenAI announce some cool new model that does something neat, invites friends and says open version will come later when they make it "safe", read: ideologically pure. When eventually released it's broken by the hacks they put in to try and meet their ill defined requirements e.g. see how "cowboy with a cat" got turned into a picture of an Asian woman but worked with cowgirls.

2. Google immediately release a web page stating that they were already doing that, and their version is better in every way, but it's far too dangerous to release. As a consequence nobody can verify their claims and their stuff is just ignored.

3. Eventually a mishmash of third parties duplicate the works based on their papers and make public stuff with it that isn't garbled by filtering. Sky proceeds to not fall. Google/OpenAI learn nothing. GOTO 1.

This pattern happened with text transformer models, it happened with DALL-E, there are probably other examples too. For some reason AI researchers at these places believe that whilst Word / Photoshop / Blender / a painting easel is anodyne and safe technology, a tech that does the same thing more conveniently is a revolutionary social crisis in a box. No evidence for their beliefs on this matter is ever presented, because it's all based on ideological assumptions about human nature that are taken as axiomatic.

Very sad. Google could be a leader in this space. Instead they've disappeared into a hole, terrified of the world outside.
Ask HN: What all content can a MitM proxy/app decrypt from the HTTPS traffic?
If I install something like Wireshark, Fiddler or mitmproxy, will I be able to decrypt all HTTPS content flowing from my computer to the application server of interest? If yes, then how to secure web traffic against such activity?
The US doesn't use imperial. It uses US customary. US customary uses imperial "prefixes" but is (mostly) base-2. The idea (from the 1790s) was that there'd be a "scientific" system in base-10, suitable for high-precision instrument makers; and, a "human-scale" base-2 suitable for people with limited manufacturing capability: dividing by 2 being far easier than by 10.

Jefferson was responsible for US customary and got a lot of it working; the French were responsible for metric, but were interrupted by The Reign Of Terror.
You're allowed to complain in the military. There are extensive internal bureaucracies just to accommodate complaints. EO, SHARP/SAPR, IG, command climate surveys, congressional inquiries, open door policies (mandatory), sensing sessions, requesting mast... there is quite a lot of mechanism for complaint and due process in the military.
Both essentially come back to the same underlying idea: the egregious lack of concern.
> I guarantee I can find a cheaper device that does not need to use apples network and is as easy to use; it's even more perfect for stalking because there's no information on the owner and no risk that the tag notifies the person nearby.

You missed the point about why Apple's network is a big deal.

I have a few Tile brand trackers, they're functionally the same basic thing as an Airtag and have been around for years. Most places that sell electronics stock them.

The trick is that if you lose something or have something stolen, it can only be detected if it comes near another Tile user who has the app installed and has given it appropriate permissions on their device to be able to scan. This obviously doesn't matter if you're just trying to find a set of keys around the house, but if your bike is stolen unless you're in a major city you're probably SOL. 10 times as many people have installed Apple Music on an Android device as have the Tile app, so that's not much.

Apple's massive advantage is that every single iPhone, iPad, etc. is by default a receiver for their tracking network. That same stolen bike is now trackable by something like half of all the smartphones in the world. If it's in a place where there are meaningful amounts of people it's going to show up on the tracking network.

Basically Apple's tracking network is the first time a low power solution like this has truly had critical mass.

> Apples devices are low power and do not have GPS trackers in them; it's pretty trivial to have a higher powered device with a GPS tracker in it.

GPS takes a hilarious amount of battery power and requires a significantly larger antenna. Beyond that you then also need a cellular service plan and the device has to remain in range of those towers. The device you linked has battery life of less than a week in an active tracking mode and in "battery save" mode can only provide a few updates a day. It'd be fine for a full size vehicle or piece of industrial equipment, but not a bike or a laptop bag.
I think this is obviously bad. I believe in Europe is just flatly illegal under GDPR? I would expect this to be illegal everywhere (if it was private information like medical records etc.) but I'm not a lawyer.

"How Liz Truss won the Conservative leadership race"
Sometimes I just absolutely love hacker news more than words can explain.

I am knee deep in a personal project exploring machine learning on tabular data and it’s been consuming my off-hours brain for a while. And I pop open HN on a holiday Monday to find…a package for machine learning on tabular data :)

Curious if anyone has any other suggestions of frameworks or packages to explore. It seems that the state of the art in tabular data got a lot of activity in 2019 and 2020 and the industry’s focus moved on to image processing (DALL-E, Stable Diffusion) so I’m wondering whether there’s been much advancement.
It's not really like that.

The PM is essentially a monarch. But like all British monarchs they rule with the consent of their Barons - these days the MPs in their party that will give them a majority in the House of Commons.

The PM has a great deal of power, but their grip on power is precarious as we saw with Boris. They are really just first amongst equals. If they don't deliver they are out and another of the elected MPs will take charge.

Really it is the MPs that select their leader. However in the Tory case if they can't reach a consensus they refer it to their party for a tie breaker.

Remember the UK has a Parliamentary system, not a presidential system. There is no separation of powers in the UK. Everybody that matters sits in the House of Commons as an elected Member of Parliament, and the government is drawn from that set of people - with a permanent civil service providing the supporting functions.
With CSS Flexbox and Grid, the web is the best GUI app platform I know of (and I was a WinForms developer before). It is made for apps now, and it has been the goal for some time already - since HTML 5 at least, but I'd say it began as stated goal with DHTML.

I often hear this argument, but the US is currently on a much clearer trajectory towards increased authoritarianism than most EU countries/CANZUK despite all of this freedom. The situation is more complicated than just straightforward definitions of what freedom is. What really matters is not edge cases where some forum or other is banned, but whether your society is populated with authoritarian ideologies and to what extent these ideologies are present in the institutions.

It's not that freedom of speech is not important, just that it's only one facet of everything and tends to be trotted out as the absolute barometer. It's a circular argument where the US is defined as the freest country at the start and thus its particular mixture of authoritarianism and libertarianism is defined as the gold standard despite having the highest prisoner per capita ratio and other such problems.

A Randomized Field Experiment on Gender-Based Hiring Discrimination [pdf]
This, I think, is a useful perspective for all those here talking about free speech:

https://slate.com/technology/2022/09/kiwi-farms-cloudlfare-a...

The point is that if you're using your speech to silence people, not by disproving their arguments but through terror and the destruction of their reputation and social network, when you silence people by lying about them, your speech is a threat to free speech.

By protecting sites whose purpose is to silence particular individuals through lies and threats you are reducing free speech. This is a case where you have to choose which speech to protect. They are in conflict. And the site you might defend is not the one making a good faith use of the freedom you wish to protect.
Typically you don't even need a tracking device for that, just Google.
I agree, the core of the enterprise suite of Microsoft is still very much based on domain controllers and Exchange. This enables the needs for user management and access policy configuration. Where I live self-hosting with Exchange is still the usual way too. No serious company would ever use Gmail.

I wouldn't use my corporate account for private mails though. It is used to register at services and interdict the spam.
Because the wording makes it seem like the murderer used the AirTag with the motive to murder.

If the girlfriend had used the AirTag to track the boyfriend and found him planning a surprise party for her or something, then the AirTag served the same role, which makes the AirTag superfluous to the murder part of this story.

Edit: another way of putting it is if the girlfriend simply followed the boyfriend’s car, the end result was the same. But an article would not have been written titled “Woman used a vehicle to track boyfriend, then ran over and killed him, police say”
