It's just your run of the mill far right misinformation laundered into a slightly more respectable look by pretending to be "sceptics" - but their scepticism is only ever applied to positions they already disagreed with and entirely absent when the view is politically expedient.
Just because you are giving away something for free does not entitle you to break the law in Europe. I am more forgiving to people who give away something for free but it is not a carte blanche, morally or legally, to act like an asshole and break the law.

Spyware vendors also give away their work for free and your Facebook account is also free. Does that mean these entities can do whatever they like?
Generally shows will have a free version, often with ads or less content, which explain where to go to get their premium feeds.

No, it is based on my web logs across my websites. I have never had a single purchase come through a VPN or Tor node. I have never had a legitimate customer or personal enquiry come through a VPN or Tor node.

100% of VPN and Tor access to my websites have all been hacking and spam attempts.

I have spent the last few months fighting spam & hacking attempts in detail - primarily from a Russian & Chinese exploit botnet that seems to have spun up around Feb 2021. This is why I am so confident in my statement, because I have been logging and collecting data on the spam & hacking attacks, and analyzing my data daily.

I've detected attacks via AVAST's VPN, Nord VPN, Fiber Grid, Tor exit nodes on Frantech, GleSys AB, Hidehost, Performive VPN, HideMyAss, PureVPN, and I just spent this afternoon tracing a particularly dumb bot that tried sending thousands of requests through StrongVPN, just alternating between 2 IP addresses. And that's just a subset of what I've been fighting against. For what it's worth, I only see the Tor exit nodes occasionally, VPNs are much more common.

I used to think VPNs and Tor were a good thing (about a decade ago). My mind has been changed by looking at the quantitative data I have collected.

Given the Paypal "contract" (T&Cs) is longer than most published works, I suspect there are 4,122 "outs" specifically written into the contract that let's Payal do practically whatever the hell they want.

I think about "Progress" at Disney World with Epcot and the Carousel of progress; and the historical markers for world fairs and regional expositions. I hope that Musk might make an attraction when he retires. (Or had bought 6 flags instead of this Twitter "fun" - it has a $2b market cap)

That said, the Internet offers these expositiins, more accessible - Kickstarter, startengine, Tesla digital showrooms, YouTube.

And the world really has continued to advance since the doubters of 1935.

- Space ships and satellites, 30 years of ISS

- diesel electric locomotives that haul more and require less maintenance than 50 steam locomotives. Electric metro trains.

- solar power, even if to power "just" a phone

- cell phones with gps and satellites, ready access to the Internet with YouTube across the world, cameras, 4k, messaging

- the led, the lcd, infrared, cryo

- some level of self driving cars, safety in cars, any car that can go 300 miles, any car that can last 50k, 100k miles.

- modern plastics, composites, clothing, consumer air conditioning
The problem there is that the terms are often ambiguous, and thus an explanation of how the terms were violated will be ambiguous. "Some sort of legislation ... to force companies to explain decisions ..." will be useless unless the terms are unambiguous. Look for example at youtube where there is a lot of subjective wiggle room in their definition of acceptable content.

Let's face it, the decisions of Paypal and others (Youtube, Twitter, etc) when deciding who stays and who goes on its platform are ideologically and politically motivated. The leaders of these companies are basing their decisions on their own political leanings. And in the vast majority of cases like the Daily Sceptic where a user or service is being deplatformed, the reason is idealogical (rather than a case where the user is for example defrauding the platform or service provider).

I believe a better solution would be for the government to penalize companies that are repressive to the rights granted to us in the bill of rights (for example free speech). This whole "but it is a private company who gets to dictate what speech they want and don't want on their site" needs to go out the window. If a company wants to operate within the US, it needs to respect the rights of the country's population (rather than define its own set of rights).

The site guidelines cover this: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

In this case the title was linkbait so it would be correct to change it. When changing it, the goal is to represent the article accurately and neutrally (i.e. not putting a spin on it, which would be editorializing). The best way to do this is to find a representative phrase from the article itself which has those qualities—if you can find one.

I took a quick look at that Reddit post and couldn't find one. That might be a sign that this article is too sensationalistic/shallow to make a good HN submission.

Great read and points to consider.

In a similar, yet different, set of circumstances, what are reasonable expectations when you're an indie developer? And instead of it being an OSS Homebrew solution, it is an OSS library on GitHub that accepts sponsoring (and you've sponsored them before, simply because you get value from the library and want to show your gratitude)?

It's easy to hate on the big tech corp who doesn't pay for what they use, but what about the indie dev (and especially if they have paid)?
Sure, which PayPal used:

> If we believe that you’ve engaged in any of these activities, we may take a number of actions to protect PayPal, its customers and others at any time in our sole discretion. The actions we may take include, but are not limited to, the following:

> A window manager is not particularly affected by GPU drivers.

Since the window manager is also the compositor in many X setups (e.g. GNOME and KDE), the WM is very much affected by GPU drivers. It doesn't have to be the GPU drivers though, plenty of complexity in the WM/compositor itself.

The core complaint is absolutely valid - the protocol and libraries should have been designed so that applications can recover from a server crash/restart, even if the legacy X server does not provide that guarantee.
It seems to be a tool that intercepts D3D calls and translates them into a Vulkan layer, sort of like DXVK (edit: I just saw that it literally uses DXVK, which makes sense), including intercepting the actual resources being uploaded to the GPU. So probably the user of this tool can intercept mesh data being uploaded and say "replace it with this mesh" which has completely different geometry.

Also nothing about this tool screams "automatic", it definitely seems to be something that serves as a modding tool rather than an "RTX ON" toggle.
It happens to me that I wake up and do not know where I am (or why). The personal item helps me instantly knowing that I am on familiar ground.

> describes quantum computers as devices that perform calculations simultaneously across parallel universes

That's a completely valid interpretation shared by many physicists and quantum computer scientists. Media often misinterprets this to mean that the result is available instantly in one step, but actually we have to interfere those "worlds" to get the result with some algorithmic complexity that is unavoidable to quantum computers
I think the story in the article is related to a big issue with Homebrew that's not so related to entitlement but to expectations: Homebrew's philosophy and default behavior is to keep everything updated to the latest version. This makes it OK (sort-of, at least) for day-to-day tools and utilities... but not ideal for systems.

I've been personally bitten by this before, where a Python script no longer runs because a library (libssl, I think) was updated to a new non-compatible version and one of Python's modules depended on it. This update in particular was caused by installing something else, unrelated to the program or project.

... So now I know this and try to use different ways of installing my projects' dependencies (and have disabled auto-updates). But a lot of people come across Homebrew when googling "how to run <blank> on MacOS", as it's the default recommendation everywhere. This is not necessarily Homebrew's fault or responsibility... but often there's a communication gap between maintainers who assume everyone should keep software up to date dealing with whatever breaking changes are published and announced and people who live on a completely different schedule and might be wondering why the script they run quarterly no longer works.

This issue is not exclusive to Homebrew, I think. Modern development (specially things like node.js / front-end) moves at its own fast pace, and long-term support is not its concern (or not long enough). Hopefully a healthier culture of long-term software maintenance will emerge, with patterns and practices that can be adopted to align everyone's expectations and obligations.

Maybe I'm being naïve and idealistic, but I would think an open source project would have a much easier time of navigating this than a private individual. Open source projects are built off of donations of both money and time. As for what is being returned, the project itself existing helps enable many businesses leading to many people becoming rich. As for expenditures, large open source projects are open with how they spend their money, so where the money ends up going is easy to see as well. There is far less ability for something nefarious to be going on for why a person is being paid.
I think that would end in a situation similar to parallel construction, where people end the contract for reasons that are basically "we don't like you" but find some token violation to blame, helped by very loosely defined contracts that don't clearly define what is and isn't a violation.
That might be true, but it also moves the problem into another domain.

If nobody can force the hand of payment service, they aren't to blame anymore.
"Wire" is effectively the air passing around a cylinder.

There is a lot of information about airflow around cylinders. Eg [1]. The top left diagram should be the one that applies with small diameters and the kind of airflow rates in a PC fan.

I would guess that all the other shapes have micro-scale sharp edges that leave vortexes which both slow the flow down and make noise.

Once I was for work in a middle America country (I do not want to mention). The company that sent me had me strictly forbidden to step out the hotel, if not in a Taxi from the hotel. The company building was 300m away, I could see it from my window. I could have walk in literally 10 minutes there.

I know you mean well with this comment but I doubt there's anyone who gives birth these days who doesn't consider breastfeeding. The hospital's push it HARD and we couldn't leave the hospital without a literal class in it.

Not everyone has an easy time of it though. They either can't produce any or not enough and the combination of this pressure and post-partum depression can be life-threatening. There's a lot more that goes into the decision to formula feed than cost.

> Are there important innovations in Linux and its APIs from the last 12 years that would be interesting to learn, and how ?

From a kernel API/ABI point of view (which is the focus of "The Linux Programming Interface"), the most important one would probably be io_uring (https://kernel.dk/io_uring.pdf).
Do you happen to know if it's possible to deny-list a host/IP in my PiHole setup so Golang tools keep working fine but can't send analytics?
Yea this is possible. I can’t remember exactly how but I installed Dropbox on both computers and put the Thunderbird profile in there. Iirc the profile directory was getting conflicting writes from each computer. But it ended up working somehow.
> ... If not, you probably learnt transferable skills.

Actually, I like to think that I focus primarily on the "transferable skills" part, with languages being secondary. Many patterns, algorithms and data structures are quite general from language to language, while they can be quite specific to a problem domain.

Once you know 10-20 languages, learning another is usually tivial, even though learning most libraries, style guides, etc requries some more effort. Properly learning the ideas are harder, but also more rewarding.

Many devs will use structures like HashMaps based on heuristics or cookbook approach. But when you're able to see the similarities and differences between HashMaps within microservices in k8s, hash joins in a RDBMS or broadcast cash joins in Spark, and you understand the strengths, weaknesses and compromizes of each, you have a type of understanding that almost certainly will be useful in whatever langauge is popular 20-30 years from now.
>Moderate amounts of snow will certainly make L5 driving impossible until we have AI where reasonable people start thinking about giving civil rights to.

Ask HN: Samsung s21 throttling network from 5G to 4g when display is sleeping
I wanted to confirm if samsung phones are the only ones which switch the network to 4g when the display is turned off. I am currently using the s21 5g using ethernet tethering to use it as a 5g router with a usb-c 3.1 gen 2 dock supplying power and a gigabit connection to my access point. I have put the phone on a heatsink with a fan running so that temps are between 15-25 max under full load.

My network is always on 4g unless i turn the display on, then it stays on 5g as long as the display is timed out.

I have so far turned to keeping the display always on using developer options and using a screensaver. But this is a very bad solution as the amoled is probably going to burn when used 24/7.

Has anyone else seen this behavior and found any other solution ?

For me this is a bit of false advertising from samsung as i didn't see apple doing this behavior to save battery (maybe?) as i see way better performance on iphone 12/13 pro 5g.

> I'm still worried that without an MV3-compatible version of full uBlock Origin, users are still going to assume that "MV3 means that ad blockers are broken".

They currently are when compared to their MV2 counterpart.

The AdGuard MV3 version which came out earlier this month[1] shows this. Though it does its best to deal with the technical challenges which comes with MV3, the end result is poor efficiency- and reliability-wise compared to its MV2 counterpart.

This is easy for anyone to see: open the browser's own Task Manager (Esc-Shift works) and notice how the service worker associated to AdGuard MV3 is regularly (every few seconds) evicted and respawn.

When it re-spawns, the process's CPU and memory usage peaks, with memory usage shooting up to between 100-200MB. This happens repeatedly every few seconds or whenever you navigate to a new webpage.

CPU/memory efficiency has always been a primary feature of uBO, and I can't release an MV3 version suffering such efficiency setback (this on top of matching algorithm not being fully compatible with that of uBO).

However I am willing to work on an MV3 version which does not suffer no CPU/memory efficiency issues, hence uBO Lite, which takes advantage of new possibilities in MV3 to be fully declarative, at the cost of sacrificing some capabilities.

Being a generalist is awesome and I don’t regret it at all. That being said, you can pick a few things to specialize in too.

I think the closest you will find to this would (monorepo) build tools like Bazel or nix where due to their enforcement of hermeticity all used interfaces have to explicitly specified and their implementations pulled in. This coupled with the build graph then allows you to determine which downstream projects would be affected if you were to upgrade the version of the product.
