> Sometimes people have to learn the hard way

This isn't reasonable or ethical - and it's telling you didn't respond to my other comment replying to you.

If someone experiences harm due to use of unencrypted HTTP because they didn't understand the implications of it, they're not going to be able to make a causal association. Without the causal association, there is no opportunity to learn.

The way to "preserve freedoms" in these sorts of situations is to require a "warranty voiding" action.

Wouldn't they just... not elect them, then?
Why is it sad? They'll bring joy into people's lives.
I think it depends how specific your buying is.

If I'm searching for Scooter, it may be good that it returns also mopeds and motorcycles.

But if I'm searching for Nikon d850, and get first 10 entries for Nikon d750, Nikon d610, canon 5dMkii, Sony rx100, and then finally a d850, then its really really annoying; and that's 80 percent of my experience.

For the other 20 percent, When I do want to search for something generic like bicycle or synthesizer, I frequently want to see new entries since the last time I searched - I don't want to see same synthesizer (or heat pump dryer:) day after day after day. Instead, Facebook's fuzzy algorithm fill cheerfully show me what it thinks is the best answer day after day and week after week, even though its a crappy casio that shouldn't even be listed as a synthesizer and it's been there for 7 weeks and is actually sold; it will refuse to show me chronological list so I can see what's new and added. It will then cheerfully ignore geographic distance and get me excited about something 4 hrs away.

So for me at least it's a lose lose scenario - our experiences clearly differ radically, and it may be simply down to how specific of a thing we want to. I typically want something specific, and if I want generic, then I'd like a category please, something which Facebook also sucks at as others have pointed out :).

(and I lied in my example to give FB a chance... In reality shen I search for "scooter" , I get motor scooters, electric scooters, the Segway wannabes, and six other types of things I don't want, so even then fuzzy search fails me :)
> Peltier systems require more energy input than comparable compressor-based systems. However, while heat is emitted from Peltier systems, it is comparatively less than in compressor-based systems. This means that there may be some savings in terms of air conditioning load in the area where the unit is housed, which could help offset the energy efficiency differential.

Either I am misunderstanding what is being said there, or the article author misunderstands how physics works.
Right, okay. I still think this is a bit of straw man. Professors don't generally claim to be an experts in local community access, so criticizing them for not being good at it doesn't help. Their focus is necessarily on publishing, and in making claims about access broadly that can be tested, or that can advance the field and be responded to, or cited.

"A grocery store on the corner of 24th and Main would help food access a lot and be quite successful" is not really a great research paper; but it is very useful to a business development person. "Food access is a significant problem in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas" is a fairly good research paper, but not something that you could ask the REAS in Community X to do for any area beyond Community X.

In the end, I think my question would be this. Let's take as true that Professors aren't all that accurate in their assessments of some issue, and that in their communities, REASs are more likely to be accurate in similar assessments. What then? How can we easily take that accurate, anecdotal REAS data, and turn it into broad comparative data that lets us better understand the problem nationwide?
> Now who owns more ETH has more power...

I would argue that that is false. Nobody can approve invalid transactions or maliciously alter the state of the chain. So in that sense, no they do not have more power.
That's how it should work. In reality, 50% of the items FBM shows for a search are non-local "ships to you" items that you'll never buy. But that juices someone's OKR somewhere.
You are correct.

Reminds me of "negative GDP growth", one of the most roundabout ways to say "wealth creation slowdown".
It's quite unavoidable. We are much better regulating how it's done than prohibiting it at all.
It doesn't really work that way.

For PoW you dont just need work, you need work that can be easily verified, easily scaled difficulty levels, and difficult to cheat with - all with no centralized trusted authority.

Even when SETI/F@H was worth only fake internet points they already had problems with people cheating. What happens when its worth real money?
Agreed!

We needed a Linux ARM server recently and bought an M1 mini and ran Asahi then ran the Linux we needed in a docker container.

This is a good solution, IMO, until better hardware comes along.
Nitpicking, several years after the fact, but: most of these are not "command line" video games. They're terminal (and terminal emulator) games. "Zork", or even "Quest for Glory" are command line games: you play them by typing on the command line. The ones shown here (save Frotz) are not that.
Flappy Bird didn't become popular until 2014, when the App Store was already 6 years old.
I absolutely agree with your comment from the consumption perspective, but I believe GP was referring solely to the creation aspect.
Sorry, FMM is the forma migratoria multiplé, it's the usual paperwork for entering Mexico for any short-term reason, if you're an American (and I think some other nearby countries). It's not really a visa as those aren't required for Americans, just a form they use to track guests and mostly to collect a fee/fax for stays longer than 7 days. IMF is my own fault, I meant instituto migración federal, but that's not actually what it's called - it's the INM, instituto nacional de migración. I think I was mixing up like three different names in my head.

Mexico is really very lax about what you are allowed to do while in Mexico on an FMM and the fee for one isn't very much at all. But what you can't do is stay past the departure date on the FMM which cannot be more than 180 days from when it was issued. INM agents used to be very willing to just put the full 180 days on every FMM but lately are asking questions about your return plans and only giving you shorter time periods. Apparently there were a lot of people who were living in Mexico and basically going to San Diego at the end of their FMM, staying a few days, and then reentering on a 180 day FMM to return to where they live. This has always been against the rules but I don't think INM really cared that much until recently, because the number of people doing it increased greatly.
WebRTC is more complex than "simple client-server communication", but is it really more complicated than QUIC? It is literally just SCTP over DTLS with only a SMALL bit of ICE (I think almost none when using ice-lite) for the equivalent use case...
It was a known issue with the first gen 1070/1080 cards. Something about inadequate VRAM cooling. EVGA put out a notice that this was an issue and they would replace the bad part for free but I apparently missed the memo. They also pushed out a BIOS update that would prevent it from overheating but I missed that one as well.
I realized that a source of unhappiness is expecting other people to do or say something without communicating with them first. People are not good mind readers, so you have to be clear about what you want and expect.

I wrote more about it here:
https://moviewise.substack.com/p/communication-insights-from...

But the real realization is that you should not expect anything from anyone. You should be able to feel happy and satisfied no matter what other people do or don't do.

In other words, don't allow other people to control your happiness by setting yourself up to be dependent on what they say or do. It shouldn't matter to your contentment. If you can just accept things as they are and enjoy what you can without lamenting what could be, what could have been, what other people have—then you can be stronger and happier:

I'll never buy a shipped item on Facebook Marketplace. Shop showing me them!
Found the Utahn in the room! :)
Yes, but more like V100s, not 3080 ti.
That doesn't sound very democratic at all. If the people want to nominate older candidates in the primaries, who are we to criticize that? Isn't that what democracy is all about?
That might be a regional thing. Here in Australia, FB marketplace is (if not enforced, then de-facto) local-only.
They publicized, I just didn’t see it.

They're saying "give our customers your best price or you can't sell the item on our platform; you're free to sell it anywhere else of course for whatever price you want but you just cant have access to our customers". Now I do think it hurts the consumer - as I reasoned in my post - but in a round-about way; one that that law currently doesn't seem to be able to reach.
Could be both. If you get the negotiating power as an effect of basically telling them to get fucked, even though that wasn't your main thing, then great.
Android 5 did revert my Chrome.

Sites worked faster for a while on my very old device.
Very cool. I’ve seen videos on reverb plates, and this diy well-based reverb chamber:
https://youtube.com/shorts/UufK--iBbXQ

Had not heard of reverb tanks before today. I wonder what other interesting sources of reverb are out there.
It’s a great option in the states. The only other country I’ve heard of it being used is Mexico and people say it’s mostly used by non-Mexicans.
I still use craigslist for finding a place to rent, works really well (at least in SF). For the other stuff, I moved to facebook marketplace, although the UI is really awful (as a seller also), especially on mobile.

I think kijiji was never a thing outside of Canada from my experience.
there has been a slow transition of all big mail providers to require a phone number more and more and it scares me; they do not need it, there are other options like OTP as mentioned by others - but as far as I am aware the big corps want to ensure they have a firm grasp on who you are. not really uncle sam watching your movements but more like uncle corp. if you do manage to get in, might be wise to tie in another email address to it or face the loaded barrel and put your phone number in.

Oh, hush. The broader point is just that the barrier for entry was very, very low for a brief period.

Which existing solution offers a free-tier with x% fee on successful referrals?
I wasn't supposing that the insurrectionists would succeed in murdering Pence, or that the entire Republican party would unanimously back Trump, just that enough Republican-run states would raise questions about the legitimacy of the (replacement) electoral certifications (which they might refuse to produce) in order to trigger the contingent election.

In such a circumstance, it's hard to imagine the state delegations of Republican states deciding to throw away a perfectly legal and constitutional opportunity to elect their guy to the presidency. If it makes you feel any better, I would expect Democrat delegations to vote for the Democrat candidate if there were ever a contingent election, even if that candidate didn't have a plurality of electoral votes (perhaps at least justifying their decision by pointing to the popular vote, which their candidate might nevertheless have won).
What are you doing on your site that would trigger the need for age verification?

I know, god damn -- including "networking" as just a single word feels... horrifying.
Semi-aside: the term “front running” is pretty overloaded and more than a little charged at this point. It gets applied to a whole spectrum of activities from the socially positive (racing to the inside with a post-only limit order to minimize the still positive price improvement) to the murky and probably kind of shady (MEV ecosystem) to outright fraud (an agency execution firm literally loading up before executing a client’s block, intentionally mispricing an IPO).

I would submit that it’s probably best just avoided by anyone who’s objective is clear communication. It’s still great for ruckus-making, but that’s probably more of a bug than a feature on HN.

FWIW I’m also very skeptical of modern MEV-world. I just think “front running” is a bad term for anything these days.
Their motivation is easy: efficiency

For Boston/Mass it's "wicked." You can tell when someone injects it naturally and they grew up with its various contexts, or you're a new transplant and it's usually used in every other sentence.

I was the latter circa 2012 but ~8 years in Boston tempered my use, haha.
The skill-based matchmaking that's popular today is optimized for setting up a fair game, ie. theres a roughly 50/50 chance of either side winning. It makes logical sense, but it turns out nobody actually wants a fair match!

Actually I've seen more and more evidence over the past two years that even with multiplexing, reducing the number of requests is still at the top of the list in improving page speed. It's the single most impactful thing that can be done.

I don't keep these bookmarked and I can't seem to find the really good one I remember seeing on HN but here's a random one: https://backlinko.com/page-speed-stats

I'd say reducing the number of requests is still a very high priority practice for web devs.
Damn, you're right. An absolutely excessive and possibly outright pointless purchase, but for someone it's a deal

> practically cause brownouts on the electrical circuit

That's because a compressor has an odd property... The motor requires substantially more starting torque than running torque. That's because the cylinder can be stuck on the compression cycle pushing against a cylinder of gas, and has no momentum to get it through. Also, the very first compression typically has far more gas in it (because the 'cold side' is actually warm before it starts).

If nothing were done to compensate, the motor would stall, overheat, and burn out.

Designers of fridge compressors have instead added a very high current starting coil, which will provide massive amounts of torque to get the thing going for a few seconds. Sometimes that might be 20 amps or more for a few seconds. When the motor is spinning fast enough, that coil gets disconnected.
Unfortunately, mostly not. Courts have so far been extremely unwilling to consider cases of that sort.
Sure, but if the US government was on top of passing legislation to force businesses to stay up to date in order to protect consumers we wouldn't be having this conversation.
How to spend less time on Hacker News :-D
Maybe that's a personal difference. I tend not to get my heart set on a specific product, and will generally go with whatever happens to be well-priced on the market at the time. Especially so on Marketplace.

If I search for Nikon D850, and some of the search results are (for example), Nikon D750s at a significantly lower price[1], then at least for me personally I'm happy to be shown that result.

This isn't a hypothetical - I bought a Canon 1000D after searching for 1200Ds and 1300Ds and finding it for a crazy-low price locally.

I understand not everyone is like this, though, and they should at least properly support the option for less fuzzy or no-fuzzy searches.

[1] I don't know cameras well, but I've assumed the 750 is the previous year's or slightly lower specced model of the 850.
I saw someone posted a reactive database just now on HN. I can't believe they didn't think about what child pornographers might do with that. There is literally no discussion of it on their web site. How could it not be a necessary step in building such a thing.

Perhaps part of the disconnect here is not realising how vast the applications are for synthesizing DNA oligos are. It's a very basic thing, and anybody can already basically order them online for a very affordable amount. It's like being worried about someone open sourcing a way to make printer ink.

In Finland, if your car gets towed due to, for example, street cleaning, you text a number with your license plate and you get a reply with an approximate location.

Ask HN: Examples of projects with great commit messages?
On forums and chat servers I accept any personally identifiable information that the member volunteers. They can also upload an image of themselves and input their birthday and real name. I also have access logs that can be used for geolocation. They can upload pictures and videos. My interpretation of the law as I have seen it would include most people running self hosted forums and chat servers. Members of forum and chat servers can say where they live. The best I could do to stop that would be to ban them and delete their messages if I suspect they are under 18.

I would never sell this information but I have no way to prove that I never have. And while I do not believe I could be hacked, what happens when I am and the attacker sells this information? Did I violate this specific law or did they? Who is liable?

How are Discord and Slack dealing with this? Discord have a massive population of minors and they collect a massive amount of information.

Have any tech-savvy lawyers on HN offered their interpretation yet?

I don’t think so. When I read that I don’t substitute the proper words in my head as I would with jawn. Also, “whatever” sounds negative to my ear, whereas jawn would be taken neutrally.
you'd have to be blind and deaf not to notice that gradual downhill slide of popular vocabulary. It may have been said with a bit more grace, but they're not wrong either.

"Gee, 20% of this paragraph is the same word, perhaps it would serve me well to mix it up."
That's the buyer's perspective of flagging. The other side is having your listings deleted because they compete with another product or violate people's incorrect expectations. If people think it's a fake, and it's not, or if it is rule bound to a category, but people aren't used to seeing it there, it gets flagged and removed. There is no one to appeal to, and sellers aren't told why their listings are removed. As someone who sells high-end stuff occasionally on the side, I would rather deal with Ebay or Facebook.
I have another question.

Why would a centralized relay (flashbots) NOT take advantage of all the orders it processes?

As far as I can tell, the MEV has just moved from the miners to the flashbot(s?).
While technically correct, this post is such a gaslight exercise. It boils down to: Frontrunning is profitable and bad for the system. So let's discuss our totally trusted system optimising the frontrunning. It's good for everyone, promise. Just don't ask about the impact on the transaction throughput and fees that comes from those transactions existing in the first place. And don't google rent seeking. Remember optimising a bad thing is good, because it's a local minimum, so let's make sure to restore it in eth2!

Proof checkers only check for invariants you knew to check for. They're not future proofing against exploits, they're merely a solidification of what you knew about your attack surface at a time.
This is an awful lot of words to say "it works fine." I love craigslist, and use it both for listing and buying quite regularly. There's plenty of fair criticisms of craigslist, but the UI is one of the strongest features. Maybe turn it around and ask why most other websites have loud, jarring, complicated interfaces and copious 3rd party JavaScript from dozens of other domains?
