Since the project creator posted it yesterday, I'm going to convert that thread to a Show HN and re-up it.

Comments moved to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32823436.

(Sorry yarapavan! We appreciate your many excellent submissions to HN. I hope it's ok to give credit to the project creator in this case. It's on our list to implement karma sharing for things like this in the future...)
I mean, I know they've been taking the financial hit for the starlink launches as they ramp up the subscriber base, but this seems really ineffective.
The self-cleaning ice cream machine was requested by McD to solve the problem of contamination in their ice cream machines.

The old way was to drain/disassemble the machine every night, disinfect the parts AND the chambers, and then reassemble. It was error-prone, could still allow for contamination, and required a lot of skill and time. Lots of time.

The intent was to make a machine that could self-pasteurize the insides under computer control and eliminate a lot of the manual labor. It's a very intricate system and the lockouts were meant to keep a small problem from turning into a food poisioning incident. But it's a tricky line to walk, as everyone has found out.

On a high level, McD doesn't engineer their equipment. It's all subcontracted out to vendors and with a good amount of redundancy (every new system has two different companies providing equipment). And it usually works. Usually.
I do a podcast.

A lot of that is a tried and true method of promotion for those coming into podcasting without a big following elsewhere to try to convert.

We started with a fairly large social media following that we could promote with, but others without such an existing audience are better off advertising on similar shows. After all, that's the draw of podcasting as a medium... advertising efficacy is pretty high.
If they are housed, you don't have homeless in your neighborhood by definition.
Actual Mexican ebay. It's just ebay. You can get Mexican hits on US ebay searches as long as you allow international results. If you think you're charming, you can try to convince people that normally don't ship internationally to ship to you, but people who don't ship internationally won't come up on US ebay searches.
You just can’t achieve really big things with a medium amount of money. You can have the government do it but you never really see that much innovation. There’s a reason you don’t see a huge amount of innovation coming out of Europe.
To be marginalized is to be cheaper. All else equal, the cheaper worker will be given preference during hiring. So long as the worker remains cheaper, all else equal, the cheaper worker will also be given preference during layoffs. If the worker works their way up into a position that they are no longer cheaper, they won't be given preference, but they also aren't marginalized anymore so you would't expect preference.
I think lockdown mode prevented me from copying text on my iPad and pasting it on the iPhone in WhatsApp, but let me paste it in Apple Notes.

I'm not sure though, it might have been a bug, it might have been a user error, but I wonder if inter-device copy and paste is limited, too. I haven't read anything about it, though.

Otherwise I've noticed nothing, except a popup when starting apps for the first time after activating lockdown mode, that lockdown mode is active for the app.

To me, lockdown mode is a no-brainer. But I don't use very JS-intensive web sites, and never use Apple messages.

Anyone can visit, but staying here means having a job. The migration to the Bay Area is because cities approved the construction of so many office buildings (and continue to do so).
> “What makes capitalism so successful is that there’s motivation to succeed,” said Ted Clark, executive director of the Northeastern University Center for Family Business. “If you take all the financial incentives away, the family will have essentially no more interest in it except a longing for the good old days.”

Pretty telling that a business school administrator has no concept of being motivated by anything other than pure profit. Always a depressing wake up call to remember that these kinds of people exist and that people actually take anything they have to say seriously.
Twilio recentky acquired Segment and Sendgrid.

There is overhead per customer in each of their segments for compliance, revenue retention, contract growth, and support.

From a technical standpoint, engineers are required for each of these aspects as well.

Then there is overhead for employees, in terms of managers, human resources, and it.
For a $10/month donation yes our max take would be $0.75. The example on the homepage is for a $20/month subscription.

That profile in particular is interesting. The first two tweets appear to be human originated, and date from December 2021. There are no tweets from the account until seven hours ago, and all the tweets after that point are spam.

Several options:

* Spammers creating accounts and posting human posts in advance knowing they'll be used for spam in the future

* Account sold by the actual owner

* Account compromised and repurposed for spamming
Seems like a pretty decent time to exit social media entirely, I think.
The example in the middle uses $20 as a donation, not $10. Thus, $1.5.
Been using since it came out over a month ago. The biggest annoyances are:

1. You cannot tap on any links in iMessage. You have to hold your thumb down on the link, copy it to clipboard, switch to Safari, paste

2. If someone posts a gif in an iMessage thread, it doesn't show up

3. All inbound requests for FaceTime calls seem to be automatically blocked, even when they are coming from people who are favorites in my contacts. I haven't looked into why yet. Maybe it's because I don't have their phone number saved with a `+1` prefix in my contacts?

Other than that it's hardly noticeable, and I think it's fantastic that we now have this option.
How do you know no one needs it for anything? How do you know no one will ever need it in the future? It's not possible to know that. All we can do is capture the real world data with as much quality and precision as possible.

> If my government wants to know something about me, they will be able to find out and that's whether I use DuckDuckGo or Google, Chrome or Firefox, Facebook or no Facebook, Gmail or my own private server, and whether or not I use a VPN service.

In the case of a targeted investigation, yeah, you're probably right. Thing is, that's not the only (or even most likely) threat unless you're some kind of wannabe DPR. Dragnet/geofence-style investigations are getting more common and while not using Google likely won't save you from the CIA, it may very well avoid your technically-incompetent local LEOs accidentally framing you for a bank robbery or something when you win the location-data lottery.

But that's an individual-level argument, which imo isn't the main point - privacy is a societal-level good.

> But I'm more interested in convenience.

This is basically the "I have nothing to say, so I have no need for freedom of expression" argument transplanted into the privacy sphere. The effectiveness of privacy methods scale both technically and socially: an example on the technical front is how tor is more useful the more "normal" traffic ends up on it, and an example on the social front is how encrypted messaging capabilities aren't suspicious if they're integrated by default into widely used apps. So, I see privacy as less about me and more about participating in creating an environment where those who truly require it can have it, and that's something that's way harder if privacy is only conceived as being "for" dissidents or fetishists or whatever.

Is it inconvenient sometimes? Sure, but it's also a civic duty. I'd honestly call it analogous to jury selection: quite possibly nothing but a burden to you personally, but an important part of maintaining a healthy society.
Is the PM's salary before- or after-tax? Do they get free housing as the prime minister? How's the housing market in their cities? In SF, where Wikipedia is based, it's completely whack. What else does a PM get? Household staff, personal assistants, drivers etc?
I honestly haven't a clue, really just spit-balling after reading the link.
Why do you? Just stop. Delete your account. Unless there's something genuinely work related, there are other (and better!) ways to talk to your friends and family.
I'm not worried about Starlink's bottom line. I'm just guessing that China would want Chinese hardware. Not sure what type of export restrictions this type of hardware would have applied to it related to these 2 countries.

I was just implying that I'm guessing getting actual Starlink hardware through legit channels is probably not something that will be available.
Jawboning Against Speech: How Government Bullying Shapes Rules of Social Media
> Overall it's very interesting to see Apple invest so significantly in something that will benefit relatively few users -- not that I'm complaining!

My theory on this is that apple is one of the few companies where everything they build seems to be well integrated into their ecosystem. This is part of their appeal.

Another part of Apple's appeal is that they've positioned themselves to appear as the company that cares the most about consumer privacy and security. Lockdown mode seems to be one of those features that's great for marketing and PR in certain circles, while being extremely useful in situations where it's needed.

I imagine someone writing an article claiming how lockdown mode saved them, and that's practically free viral marketing in the security circles.

> Why shouldn’t creating that much value in the world result in the owners collectively benefiting?

One can benefit without being a billionaire.
I'm not sure why it's especially governments. I find this propensity for privacy focused people to overlap with more conservative thinking individuals very perplexing. Especially since typically the more prominent feature of conservatism is support towards large corporations - which are the largest entities removing our privacy.

It's not especially governments for which you need to keep the integrity of your privacy - it's everyone. And I would imagine if we're trying to estimate the entities that pry the most, it's corporations. Sure, they may feed it to governments, but there's an energy barrier there (in at least some circumstances) - but the trust of corporations is one of the bigger issues here.
Those normal people should know that $350k is a steal.
I got banned for life from Twitter for tweeting "sheesh, I'd kill myself if I was still programming in java after age 50" (or something like that -- I've since deleted the tweet and can't remember the wording, but the gist is correct.)

This was viewed as "encouraging self harm" so I got a lifetime ban.

Yes, it was my second offense. A week or two earlier I had tweeted "I wish anti-vaxxers would go jump off a bridge". So that was two strikes and I got the lifetime ban instantly -- within less than two seconds -- while also being informed that my lifetime ban had been "after careful review".

In any case, I'm a real human being and I can't use Twitter anymore.

So the bots run free, but my obviously human account got a lifetime ban for tweets that could not possibly be seriously construed as dangerous. Honestly, the tweets are barely noteworthy. Also, I had something like 28 followers and I was little more than an occasional reply guy.

Also, aside from the bots, the amount of absolutely ridiculously bad taste stuff I see tweeted that doesn't result in a lifetime ban is astonishing.

Supposedly I can appeal my ban but I haven't done so because I'm dead certain that if I do I will just get an even more solid lifetime ban, along with all my personal details stored in their list of atrocious actors. I guess I'm holding out for Elon Musk to be forced to buy Twitter and for some changes to take place.
I don't know. Here's where I start to break with some of the ways people are thinking about this.

When you pay a fee to a website - do you question how they spend that money to this level of detail? Do you ask, I dunno, lets go with Slack, to break down their fee by how much of it is necessary to keep Slack online "as is"?

I don't think I've ever seen someone do that. There's a level of entitlement that comes with donations that people just don't attach to services they purchase.

Wikipedia isn't a charity in the traditional sense - IE it's not taking those donations and redistributing them to those in poverty.

It's an organization building and maintaining a platform that provides pretty a vital service to society. Almost everyone who donates to it will have gotten far more value from Wikipedia than the cost of their donation. Maybe, instead of thinking of it as "donation", people should be thinking of their contributions as a "sliding scale fee".

On the other hand, I do believe Wikipedia should be open and should be accountable to its community. I just believe the community should be reasonable when exercising that accountability.
Here's a good write up on some of what you are asking in their blog: https://www.featurebase.com/blog/bitmaps-making-real-time-an...
I'll just chime in with this bit of my own personal musings on the subject.

I perform very differently in public and when I'm being recorded vs when I'm alone and in private. The psychology behind this is not hard to imagine. Just like I code differently when I think I'm publishing my git logs vs just hacking together a prototype. The act of performance imposes itself on the actor just as it does on the audience, if not more!

Privacy is therefor almost less about the recorded data as it is about the recording itself. The implication of the data or the memory is enough to change everything.
Anyone have any suggestions on data quality tests?

Define "decent." I lost all hydraulic brakes on my 87 Toyota pickup due to a hole in a brake line and I had to drive it to the repair shop using only the cable-operated handbrake. Granted, I didn't go on the interstate, but at some point I was still doing 35-40mph.

Having a stick shift definitely helped, though.
It’s more a fight between “I want my area to stay the same” and “I want to develop my property” - those wanting housing have effectively no say at all.

That's true of Erlang as well. The language (and VM) design elements are very complementary.
A german company building an app for watching linear TV. Netflix is actually serving 400Gbit/s per node and already have 800Gbit/s ready.

I think we can scale our setup up to 200 Gbit/s but we are too small. Total traffic is ~2 Tbit/s.

Most challenging is the missing support of QUIC/http3 and KTLS in Golang. Also 100G NIC supply chain is difficult. We use NVIDIA Connect-X 6, but it's impossible to get a version with TLS offloading.
This is another unlawful example of the Administration effectively appropriating money without Congress.
Users aren't nearly as stupid as most technical people think they are.

What they are is ignorant, which is not the same thing.

The solution to this problem is to have a very clear indicator on each channel that it's public or private. If you really want to, make it a link that explains what that means.

And you're done.

This is a problem in the same way that copy/paste is a problem. There are well-known solutions, it's just modern software that went to crap, not the users.
These engines are also way larger diameter => redesign nacelles => higher drag and moment => engine mounts + wings ...

Also this family of engines (F130/BR700) has insane reliability - something like one unplanned engine removal per 100,000 hours. Some have reached 1 million hours

(funcall (if (< 1 0) #'+ #'*) 42 100)

Edit: this is actually a pretty famous interview question for lisp jobs: write a program that is valid in CL and in scheme but produces different output. The solution is always to use the fact that scheme is a lisp-1, i.e. it has ONE namespace for variables and functions) and CL is a lisp-2, with TWO distinct namespaces.
100% agreed. $350k salaries for people that have basically built and maintained the modern-day Library of Alexandria is a pittance. These people deserve it.
So is the UH-1, the Huey helicopter. Over 16,000 made, and many still flying.
If you willfully disregard any context about the situation and historical context then I'd agree with you.

Hey, I tried replying yesterday but I hit some kind of posting limit.

My bad! I think I had hit reply to the wrong comment. I could have sworn there was something written about tone, but it must have been someone else. Sorry about that.
The software is still around and old vintage software sites have the earlier versions that you can run in a MacOS8 emulator. I last played with version 6 I think about 4 years ago; at that time you could have both an outline view and a mind map and switch between them.
What Makes SPN a Better Alternative to VPNs
If you are in favor of the police having DNA for this purpose, then they should be given everyone's DNA birth samples.

Arguing that it is okay to only take the DNA of people who willingly cooperate with police only incentivizes people to never cooperate with police.
> - You can create an alias for a given server but you have to do this manually. If you forget (or possibly people can see it anywhere) your identity is linked or can be leaked. Why is there no cohesive model for pseudonymity?

I'm not sure I understand; pseudonymity is the norm on Discord. If you're worried about your identity being leaked, then why not make the pseudonym your username and use your real name as an alias on the few servers where you want it to be known?

Also, I feel like the Quick Switcher (Ctrl/Cmd + K) would alleviate a lot of your problems finding things.
I went through https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory#Partial and set all the bullshit env variables in my .profile to force some programs to comply (not that it fixes everything).

I've seriously considered writing a system LD_PRELOAD that catches resolved paths and redirects them to a directory of choice.

Thanks a lot for the detailed response, that cleared up things for me.
The other comments have just said that the water shortage is not caused by people living there, it's due to agriculture and industry. Nothing to do with cities.

What I'm saying is that for how much money there is in the Bay Area, it is comparatively crap to other top metro areas around the world. Is there even a city from the Bay Area in the top most liveable cities in the world?
Prompts are not opt-in. Opt-in is moving the mouse to (say) the lower-right corner, clicking on the NoScript icon, and selecting "Temporarily allow example.com".

That's not a panacea, but it at least raises the bar from "get people to even briefly look at your attack site", to "come up with a at-least-vaguely-plausible excuse why your site needs to be handed a remote code execution vulnerability in order to function".
This is why I don't understand Gamer Gate -- the people affected by it just had the option of deleting their Twitter accounts and never missing it.
I don't know that 32-bit audio is exactly common.

As far as human hearing goes, 24-bit is already overkill. Even 16-bit should be an imperceptible downgrade for anything with a naturally low dynamic range (i.e. most music).
Another very small proof system: https://github.com/moonad/formcorejs

The core implementation is under 700 lines of JS, including the parser: https://github.com/moonad/FormCoreJS/blob/master/FormCore.js

The author has since moved on to building a runtime with optimal evaluation (https://github.com/kindelia/hvm) and a new proof language on top of that (https://github.com/Kindelia/Kind2) with considerably better performance than existing proof systems.
In this era, DeepClass is a kool name.
Yeah what makes capitalism successful is that you will starve unless you work hard.

Once you have a certain level of money it becomes much less of a motivator for most people.
Bingo. This is the double-edged sword of heavy affirmative action in hiring. If things get tough and you have to make cuts to save the company, the people who you should let go are disproportionately from affirmative action groups.

This is the best news. Otherwise, you can bet your IT department would be throwing that switch on for everyone.
There is no need to doubt good intentions. This is precisely the kind of issue where very bad things are done under good intentions.
> Could they simply disable the ability to change display names for verified users?

I don't know if I agree with this solution, but it is bizarre that there are plenty of blue checks where neither their twitter @id nor their display name have anything to do with their actual name. Who is the blue check verifying that they are?

I propose showing the verified identity (whether that's a stage name or whatever) on mouseover on the blue check icon. I'll take my consulting fee through paypal.
I'm more concerned with your deliberate decision to censor the word incest.
I'm not sure it's doing the right thing when I entered a multi-zone mini-split.

It's acting like I'm buying a separate A/C for each zone, but that's not how they are priced. I have 9 for "Heat pump: Number of units", and 2 for "AC equipment: Number of units ".

Also it's having trouble doing the math right because I have window A/C, but I would get a mini-split for A/C and Cooling.

For me the math is just not right - if I put in a mini-split to have A/C, I need to decide what's cheaper, running my high efficiency boiler (that I already have), vs heating using the heat pump.

That's really all I want to know: What costs less, heat with gas, or heat with electricity. Or maybe a hybrid.

This seems geared more to people who have existing ducted A/C with a furnace (not a boiler), who might get rid of the boiler part, and leave the rest. (Or just not use the boiler.)

IMO you should just stick to calculate fuel costs for heat with gas, vs heat with electricity, and leave out the installation costs.
The linked article says

> Incoming FaceTime calls are blocked unless you have previously called that person or contact.

So you may have to call them first, even if they are a favorited contact.
