Well for one, often you don’t get a choice whether you’re deemed important or not. People go viral unwillingly every day.

Many people, myself included, commit small crimes like jaywalking and smoking weed often, and would prefer an all-seeing eye not watch my every move.

Last but not least, I’m not interested in helping a trillion dollar corporation profit off of my private data.
What does this mean? Is the "key RCMP officer" a suspect? Or is there some Canadian law peculiarity involved?
Can you? Can you really?
A normal company could engage in these practices, but it is settled law that a monopolist may not. A monopolist may not use their monopoly in one are to supress activities in another area.

You can't put these big tech monopolists into the same bucket as normal companies. They have way too much power, and even when they do not intend to smash things, they end up smashing things.
> And we're trending the wrong way on obesity, too.

It's absolutely creepy how there's a constituency of people who are upset by any scientific possibility that fat people could be relatively healthy, or be made relatively healthy, without losing weight. The desire for fat people to conform or be punished, damn the science, is fetishistic. That's the only motivation I can think of for being upset by the exploration of the precise effects that being fat has on health.

I'm nowhere near fat right now, but if there were an injection that saved fat people from insulin resistance and inflammation, the farthest thing from my mind would be to get upset about it. If you believe that gluttony is a mortal sin, no need to be upset if the only ways fat people are punished on earth are cardiovascularly, through their knees, and through the aggression of bullies; your deity can punish them after death for not eating as moderately as you would have preferred.
It also is very weird that this bug even made it to production once because the standards explicitly require phone to call emergency services even if no SIM card is present.
Ask HN: Cloud hosting rates with surging energy cost
In Europe energy prices have skyrocketed.
I will leave out why for an entirely different post.

We already see the cost of everything rising way
past anything we have seen before (at least in my life)
and far more people will need to make cuts in them
Private habits and expenses.

With energy prices surging the cost of operating data centers
will become (I think) a lot more expensive.
and massive "cloud" data centers even more so.

How fast and how will it impact the prices for

1) Individual cost.

Things that, I think, may change:
Spotify, Netflix (or any other tv stream), Dropbox, Office365 (yupp), lucidchart
pay for a couple of WordPress installs, email (yupp pay) and several other things.

Since I am already watching my grocery budget, a significant increase in prices
for the "internet" things will mean making some difficult (or not) choices
on what to cut.

2) Companies.
When you are locked into AWS, Azure, Google Cloud how will the prices
change how budgets are allocated and what can you drop (if anything).

In addition, companies have email hosting, and a host of other
"cloud" related expenses.

I imagine things will have to be prioritized.
Vendors offering lower prices can see a major migration perhaps.

3) Cloud providers.
How will AWS, Azure and the rest handle more than double or triple
the electricity/ energy related expenses?

An example: GYM

A company that operates a chain of gyms, are now trying to
keep their doors open even with a 5 to 6 times increase in their power bills

(For the gym it is made worse that many members come in just to take a good shower
since they can afford to do it at home)

They say they are going to be lowering the temperature in the gym to about 10C (50F)
Decrease how hot showers can get and a cut in flow
Fewer lights and no music.

Will people still go?

An example: A FARMER

A farmer recently threw away his entire harvest of leeks ( I think)
tons of food (sickening)
because his business is largely dependent on storing produce in
giant freezers / fridges and with the rise in cost he will be
Paying far more to chill the produce than he could possibly sell it for.

The world is in great need of food.
But storing and moving has gotten far more expensive.
Nice to meet you.

In college, for a year or so, I smoked one cigarette a day. Eventually, I decided any number was too much, and stopped entirely.

So yeah, it's a population that probably either graduates to a big habit, or gives it up completely. Fortunately I'm in the latter group.
Big email companies were never threatened by self-host. Spammers ruined it, not big email companies. Spam is an incredibly difficult problem to solve.
I think they mean isolated PRs. Been there, done that.
For heat pumps to work, you need well insulated houses. This means you're more likely to get them in colder environments (Canada) than more temperate ones (here in the UK)
Bombing results in a bias but couldn't the same be said of any review system?

Even on Steam the reviews are biased to people that bought the game and are interested in the genre. It's not an objective score by the majority of people.
I know of some small servers that get a lot of spam and hacking attempts, and their most effective tool against abuse is an IPv4 block ban. Increasingly this became more and more difficult, and I assume email servers are at the same point. Thanks to VPNs, people appear to be able to spawn insane numbers of random IPs.

One solution this decentralized server system came up with is the concept of accounts that have some barrier to entry to create (which involves a delay and proving identity). This account has a private key and it uses this to access the servers through any IP. Abuse on this account and any connected accounts of course leads to the key being temporarily revoked. Lots of positive interactions with well established accounts increases your credibility. Lots of reports decreases you credibility.

If you have been sending credible emails with multiple hosts for 10 years, even if you did get flagged, you would be given the benefit of the doubt. Hell, it should be easy to email the host and give them the headers and the reason why the email was flagged.

About the email space now being owned by big tech, it could simply be time for a boycott until they improve their practices. There is far too much centralization on the web now, and we all contribute to it every time we use an external service rather than host our own.
What's the point of deprecating and removing these, since all of the code that actually implements them still has to be there for grep -E and grep -F to work?
Someone mentioned a short story, which made me think of my favorite short story:
The A&P by John Updike:

https://littletonpublicschools.net/sites/default/files/HHS-2...

The reason I come back to it is the writing style. It's from the perspective of a young man. It's a short, simple story, but the style & inner dialogue is just great. I've never read anything else quite like it.
I would imagine the issue is someone else buying the domain, and subsequently receiving any email meant for you (such as a password reset request).
Yes, you can always say that this time, Popper's caveat does not apply, because the opponents are too far gone.

Perhaps we should stop treating Popper or anyone else as an oracle of truths. He was a smart man, you can disagree with him nevertheless - in both directions.
Did you try using +44 118 999 88199 9119 725 3 instead?
Yeah, this is definitely a real advantage and not a broke-ass feedback loop of SEO and confirmation bias. It's great that we have to ship our compressors with massive English-biased static dictionaries now.
The creator mentions that site in his "How I made this" video
Surely that’s only true if the poster is already at the high end of normal? If he weighs 160lbs adding 20lbs isn’t going to do any harm.
its a tall order to make something like emacs, it may not be a "modern architecture" but when im developing programs for emacs its a far, far better development experience than developing programs in general. lisp repl development is really unparalleled for pleasant development. i wish lisps were more popular, i'd love a job working with a lisp. writing go all day is rotting my brain

Its not a crazy conspiracy, I know it's pretty clear why it's being done. And I know I can't do anything about it other than look for new opportunities.

But should location based pay be just accepted because that's the norm? There are variables that can't be used to do discriminate like age, gender, race, sexual orientation etc. We've accepted equal pay for equal work in these cases. Is it that far fetched that even location should be treated the same?
This is making me furious. I do not think I have ever called 911, but it is one of those safety features I thought I could fully expect to work when needed.

I have only ever used Android, but this is going to be my final such device. I have accepted a lot of rough edges over the years, but this wilful negligence regarding safety features is where I am drawing the line. At least with Apple I will not have to hope that maintaining Emergency Services will get someone promoted.
Fixed now. It's because https://www.goloudplayer.com/episodes/are-we-prepared-for-a-... points to https://www.goloudplayer.com/ as its canonical URL, and our software uses canonical URLs when it finds them. We should probably not do this when the canonical URL is just the base domain, since that seems to be most of the bugs with this behavior.
I don’t think the open source ones need to be superior to the cloud ones, or even as good. If they come close enough for the most common, let’s say, 80% of use cases, that’s good enough for many people.
A few photos of the subject would be nice. (if I'm not missing them due to ad blocker, in which case - sorry)
What in the world are you talking about?

I'm a physician that uses ultrasound every shift, and I'm pretty darn good at it. I've even used one of the specific devices you linked to.

Virtually every physician I know is foaming at the mouth to learn more ultrasound and to apply it to new indications and with new approaches. Inappropriate use of ultrasound for harebrained indications (for which we have far superior alternatives) is on of my pet peeves.

I am not a cancer doc, but I am drawing a blank as to what solid tumors you could possibly be referring to for which ultrasound is the preferred screening or diagnostic technique, or what kind of conspiracy you're vaguely implying that prevents its use. IME, virtually everyone is (over?) eager to use ultrasound for every condition under the sun, and I am sincerely perplexed as to what experiences have led you to form your opinion on this matter.

Is it that difficult to grasp that there's a "depends" option between "optional" and "not optional"?

Nobody really forces you to use HTTPS either, it's not a "monopolizing" standard if someone doesn't trust you without.

And again, if you have a way of establishing just as much trust without such a labour-intensive/expensive verification process, please do share.
How do people that work for Google on HN continue to work there without their conscience bothering them? These are terrible monopoly abuses and you’re contributing.
In fairness, things like postfix usually ship with very poor (not to say “moronic”) defaults.

Like, postfix won’t even try to connect to tls-enabled smtp for outgoing email by default, and you have to explicitly point it at the certificate bundle it’s supposed to consider valid.

And you have to tell explicitly to reject incoming plaintext connections from the public internet.

And quite a bit more… Like, why doesn’t postfix have its own freaking spf/dkim implementation BUILT IN?
Great advice on negotiation. I'll definitely use this going forward. Thank you!
Does Wikimedia need "best of the best" execs, or simply competent and stable leadership? Most of their value and lifeblood (content) comes from volunteers who would probably keep doing it even if a likeable monkey were on top.
Sounds like it. I’m on iPhone for exactly this reason. I nearly bought a Pixel to put Graphene on it, but the insanely short lifetime for support swayed me.

Does anyone know how feature phones / flip phones fare when it comes to longevity? I think I’d be fine with one of those and an external GPS.
> Your pay is based on the cost to hire your replacement.

That's not necessarily true. Many fully remote companies hire from anywhere and pay location-adjusted wages. So it's a roll of the dice whether the replacement makes more or less than you.
I think establishment science has talked about increased weather variability as a result of the slowing of the jetstream for a while. No one done a good job in saying "So a one degree increase overall can mean five or ten degrees increase hovering over a given area for weeks and that's devastating and deadly in many places, especially areas that have already pushed their ecology and infrastructure to the edge".

"Doctors have for decades refused to learn to use this technology"
In Sweden this is actually standard practice. It's used for patients who have syndromes that guarantee them to get cancer several times over in their lifetime. IIRC some get an MRI every 6 months. The reason it's not done to a wider population.. well you can't justify the cost in a state funded healthcare system. The health benefit just isn't justifiable when MRIs are so scarce and expensive to run.

This post should be exhibit A on why software engineering/dev managers get paid so well.
What systems have you used desktop Linux on, and how long ago? On most modern systems I've recently used it on, right out of the box it's worked as well as Windows and macOS do.
It should be trivial to produce that in a court of law, with substantive actionsble intelligrnce that saying something means it's going to happen.

Except... In reality, horrible people say horrible things on the Internet, all the time, and if we have the Police running around constantly trying to protect one odious group from another, then perhaps it's better to wait until one group substantively commits a prosecutable offense, then deal with them, then.

None of that happened. We went straight to mob justice. Again.
It really sounds it should have been given a chance. Did they ever open source it to give other Linux OS’ a chance?
No, but peoples definition of what is considered harassment varies wildly. As can be seen in this very thread: Keffals doxing people is not harassment, Keffals calling for their Ukrainian supporters to spread that KF's admin is pro-Putin is not harassment, "pressuring" KF's admins mother is not harassment, journalists doxing and lying about LibsOfTiktok is not harassment; but KF archiving Keffals tweets where they admit to illegal activities is, KF posting the dox of someone sharing DDoS tools is, KF laughing at someone being silly is.
I think his definition of AGI is off. It does not need human characteristics as it will be machine intelligence, not human intelligence. I think seeking AGI from a human-centric view will keep us searching in the wrong locations for things that feel human but are not generally intelligent.

For General Machine Intelligence I would like to see research in the following areas -

1) Understanding of the hardware and software on which it runs. This will allow it to introspect and self improve at the lowest level. I think there is a lot of opportunities in research in applying our large language models to machine languages.

2) An internal representation of facts. While there is no guarantee that it would outwardly represent the truth, an intelligence must be able to discern between reality and hallucinations.

3) A probabilistic reasoning engine. Based on its priors about X and Y, find the probability of X -> Y. This could also aid in forgetting, as it could then generalize and discard individual facts.

I really believe we should pivot to an idea of Machine Intelligence. Otherwise we will continue chasing metrics that make probabilistic models feel human, but not necessarily bring them to life.

Some aspects of 5G do improve normal cell bandwidth which for internet, basically improves reception. Other aspects of 5G really only make a difference when you are right nearby an antenna, like walking down a city street. The problem is that 5G isn't rolled out everywhere and your phone might try to connect to a 5G antenna when a 4G antenna is much closer and would provide a more robust connection. I rarely see more than 3/5 bars when on 5G but can get much better reception wherever when only using 4G. Only exception was a recent road trip on I-95, there was near constant full 5G coverage.
You are splitting hairs. A lot of drinking is due to social effects, for example drinking behaviours due to being around friends who are drinking.

Although I do miss it, BeOS didn't really have a killer app[0]. The 3d-spinning video cube demos were a cool marketing trick, but not really practical. It wasn't clear what the market for it was, other than curious nerds (like me).

The main target - professional media creators - would have no reason to jump to
BeOS when it couldn't run any existing windows/mac/irix software, and any native BeOS app would take ages to get up to feature parity. Also there was no NFS to access say files stored on a big RAID array, hardware support was limited - no fibre-channel, RAID, genlock.

Difference here is that we live in the digital world where location isn't a constraint to providing services.
The reverse would be unfair as well.

If someone have to live in San Francisco to make 250k/year but pay a high rent etc. And you make 250k/year living in Ho Chi Minh that would be unfair to them. And would be a little bit unfair to your local people, the selected few (employees) able to work remotely would literally make 80x time the local salary.

There is no way to solve this problem, if you want your compensation to be independent from your local area. Become an expert, start being a contractor and cross your fingers.
Does anybody know at what point the FCC can revoke the radio license of these devices? Reaching emergency services seems a prerequisite for transmitting on the telephony part of the spectrum, so it might be surprisingly clear.
He has no actual clue, thats for sure. On top of all correct items you mention, some stuff is completely benign and should be left alone. Nobody will know that until operation or other, very invasive procedures are taken which have their own risks anf consequences.

Especially at older age, many things killing slowly are just too slow and other items will surpass them in achieving that kill, ie prostate cancer in basically all men (according to a close friend who is swiss urology surgeon its only question of time we all males get it, but most of the time you dont know about it and it progresses super slowly).

There are many things like this. That doesnt mean there isnt a room for improvement. I have some bad experiences too, but my wife is a doctor and medicine is HARD, every case properly unique. IT and stuff google et al do is trivial and deterministic by comparison.

We all would like this idea that medicine can cure it all, but we are far, far from it. But some folks apparently just love reading "10 things THEY don't want you to know about XYZ" articles and actually believe them.
Our test suite takes about 30 minutes, but that's running across like 20 nodes. It's not practical to run locally, though individual test cases can be.
