Again, missing the point.

It's not just the action; it's the ability to do it without significant consequences. I could sue you for slander if you called me a pedophile; my ability to do so (successfully) against Google is quite limited. Law enforcement is also likely to treat an accusation from Google differently than from some random person.
One obvious one is if the panels can see the load to the house, they can determine occupancy.

There are devices that can monitor your breaker box and tell you when appliances have turned on.

You could perhaps prevent this by having it dump everything between the meter and the house so it can't tell if it's going to the grid or not. I don't know enough about it to say if that's reasonable.
A lot simpler to consider the phone as a portable, always-on wiretap, that can never be secure.
Another Surface Laptop 4 owner, very happy with USB-C charging/docking, and I use Arch as my daily OS. Just be aware, there's currently no touchscreen support for this model: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/532
Feel like it might have better balance with an upper body with a tail or other moveable weight.
I was banned from Adsense for reasons unknown, permanently. Even if you play by the rules you're at risk.
Most countries in the world are not the size of the US (both in population, territory and diversity of culture/norms/expectations). And most countries in the world are very clearly examples of how not to do policing...
It's reducing the number of parties you have to trust from 'every hop along the path from the public wifi operator to the host' to 'cloudflare', and many site operators already trust cloudflare not to MITM them.
On the other hand, when I need to find a nearest trash container in a new location - OSM is always there for me.
She hasnt even started as a pm yet the eu issued warnings. Apparently Ursula “has tools”. You can’t make this shit up.
I understand. However if gov does not provide disaster aid then you are effectively telling people where to live. Few will accept the risk without the prospect of disaster aid and insurance, which would be unobtainable if the area was ruled uninhabitable by the federal government.

Entire communities, and their economic output, will vanish. A good example are communities whose entire existence is owed to revenue generated by commercial fishing. What do you do with all the fishermen who don't know any other line of work?

Teach them to code?

Long Island, NY is prone to flooding and wind-damage from hurricanes and nor'easters. Areas are routinely destroyed or heavily damaged. Notable years are 1950, 1954, 1960, 1986, and 1999.

Asheville, NC is prone to flooding, land & rock slides, and the occasional earthquake. It is probably one of the state's most natural wonders, and the country-side a lovely place to live.

During periods of heavy rain and tropical events, downtown NYC floods the subways and streets and doing expensive salt water damage.

I know of no place on earth that is without some susceptibility to natural disaster. So where do we draw the line?

Effectively, such a rule would define these and other places as uninhabitable and render them ineligible for both commercial insurance and federal disaster aid. That seems so foolish and counter to our tradition as a nation. Such a rule would see the splintering and end to many long-standing communities.

If the concern is cost, you may want to turn your attention to discretionary federal expenditures.

Surely we can find places to cut bloat, pork, and wasteful spending, particularly in areas that range from nothing to very-little to do with the United States, her citizens, or their needs and emergencies that are a part of living on planet earth.

It is almost like that 75 billion we printed for Zelenskyy could have been used to help Americans.

Lastly, where does it end? How do we define the formula for making these rules, and who gets the define and apply that formula? Best case scenario, if this rule was a thing, you'd be looking at consolidating large parts of American society into more 'manageable' locations and mega cities, which were decreed as somehow having the least amount of risk, and lowest possible expense...

...in a vain attempt at avoiding the risk and expenditures of natural disasters?

...that happen everywhere?

...routinely.

It just seems foolish when you work through it to a practical end.
Not really. Making it impractical worked against smoking. Cars stopped coming with lighters and ash trays. Where smoking is still allowed, it's in a separate section or a bench out back. Triggers for the habit are increasingly absent from media and advertising.

The equivalent here would be banning the over-engineered foods that cause the problem. The common thing is the breaking of a habit. The harder it is to reenforce, the less it's done.
You need to buy an EV certificate which is why many Devs complain SmartScreen made Windows Pay2Win.

But you can pay for it by implementing malware in your newly whitelisted app :D
There are a lot of problems that still need to be solved with OSM to make it on par with GM's overall utility. (I say that as a very active local OSM contributor and data consumer) Reviews, geocoding, political issues within the OSMF, and incomplete address information to name a few. Some of them can be solved by having more active local mappers, but others I don't have an easy answer for. Hopefully these are growing pains, as I desperately want to see OSM succeed.
You've proven my point for me, thanks.
You could make this argument about any relationship. After all, look at everyone who just got burned by Google Stadia.

Everything is a negotiation. Every relationship has the potential for Pareto efficiency. Most aren't Pareto efficient because of information asymmetry, desperation, lack of competence or experience, etc.
Except that there’s a fair bit of research that says anonymity isn’t actually the cause of toxic behaviour…

I recommend two things as a minimum then:

1) Check your DNS registrar and make sure there are no new subdomains. dnsdumpster can also help a bit.

2) Check for any new files in the directory tree of public facing sites.

If you're sure all is good you just have to keep escalating with microsoft and creating new requests to remove your domain multiple times a day from different IPs and emails so you can land in the right queue eventually. Squeaky wheel and all (don't forget social media noise).
Names are fine, the problem is if you call something superspeed what are you going to call next years speed? Hyper speed? Ultraspeed? Turbospeed? You rather quickly run out, and that’s if it doesn’t start sounding ridiculously hyperbolic before that. And of course superspeed is super slow by todays standards.

So you have to either use marketing names that don’t mean anything by themselves, or numbers that naturally increase.
Yes, but no company has a “monopoly on violence” - the government does. Given a choice, a powerful government can do far more damage than Microsoft.
When I got my security system in my home installed, I asked the sales representative about getting a key fob to arm/disarm the system. Her response was basically, "Oh, haha, you're too young to be asking for one of those. You can just use the app!"

Right, because I really want to have to take out my phone, unlock it, click an app icon, wait for it to load and authenticate my credentials (assuming I'm not forced to sign in -- again), find the arm/disarm button in some cluttered UI, and then click the button. As opposed to just pulling out the key fob and clicking the arm/disarm button? No apps, please.
Good luck with that ridiculous generalization, and the partial quote that removes the context.

Not arguing with you, but how? Rust is about memory safety, not memory isolation. It keeps me from writing out of bounds, but it does nothing to stop a malicious kernel module from stealing `SECRET_KEY` out of the kernel's local memory.
'8266 is an MCU with built-in Wi-Fi. They're not talking about DIY'ing an entire inverter, just the web interface to it.
prior to the separate matchmaker rating per role ("role queue") I had three accounts:

- one for support (which I'm pretty good at, main account)
- one for DPS (which I'm ok at)
- one for tank (which I suck at)

why? so I didn't ruin games when I played something other than support

I've not used the other 2 accounts since then, but out of curiosity I tried adding phone numbers to their accounts from my pile of free UK SIMs from various providers (my "backup internet" plan)

3/6 networks registered fine (no credit required)

quite how they expect this to stop smurfing/hacking if any kid in the UK can pick up 10 free SIMs from a phone shop and get 10 new overwatch accounts
So where do you go on the internet where Eternal September hasn’t arrived yet? Dark web? 4chan? Gopher...?
Discussion about Overwatch 2 always makes me feel as if I am living in an alternate universe.

Let me paint you a picture of October 2019:

In Hong Kong, this is happening, and it's a big deal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_Hong_Kong_pr...

Meanwhile, Overwatch remains an immensely popular arena shooter, with frequent content updates and new characters. The type of game, like Team Fortress 2, that does not see "sequels" per say, but rather an ongoing evolution. The game is 3 years old.

What I'm trying to say is, in October 2019, the idea of "Overwatch 2" seems entirely, entirely absurd.

Then, on October 6, this happens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy

Not sure if you recall, but this was a HUGE fire-and-pitchfork controversy. #BoycottBlizzard became a real thing. I was among them, permanently cancelling my accounts, because that mattered to me.

Again, this was a BIG DEAL. https://www.pcgamer.com/brian-kibler-says-he-will-not-take-p...

Less than one month later, Blizzcon 2019 happened. If you remember the atmosphere at that moment, people weren't even sure if BlizzCon would happen at all. It seemed like it may simply be cancelled.

And what happened at BlizzCon?

Announcing... OVERWATCH 2. The sequel to the popular arena shooter. Will there be new characters? Uh, probably, but definitely there will be reskins! Okay, when's it out? Uh... eventually, one day, TBD!

That was 2019. Blizzard announced Overwatch 2 in 2019. The amount of time between that announcement and today is roughly equal to the amount of time between Overwatch 1 being released, and the controversy.

Am I insane? Is it not extremely, extremely obvious why Blizzard made the "surprising" move to announce a game that no one expected, and to this day has not been released?
Many AI systems these days are adequate counterfeit humans in ways that adding machines and spreadsheets (and advanced systems that reduce to these things) are not.

In other words, computers interpreting things in ways that counterfeit humans or computers generating things that counterfeit humans needs to be banned for government use.

I’m not talking about banning the steam shovel but systems where it becomes difficult to determine whether or not a human did it.
They could have consolidated the syntax for both, though. No reason you couldn't have this instead:

INSERT ... VALUES (C1=v1, C2=v2), (C1=v3, C2=v4), (C1=v5, C2=v6)

This would actually be more powerful because it would allow you to arbitrarily omit columns on a per-row basis, which you can't do with SQL today.
How McKinsey Got Into the Business of Addiction
If it's not possible to make a living at a vocation, all you will get is amateur participants. Even the most talented will have to find other things to do with their time in order to support themselves.

Contrary to the above sibling comment, amateurs do not often produce better art than professionals—promising amateurs learn their craft as professionals and tend to produce their best work mid-career. This conflicts with the lay understanding of creative endeavors, of course.
You don't particularly care to view anything on .ru, but you're complaining that you can't open a website (which you'd like to view) which is on .ru. What a bizarre thing to say.
What are the odds that because of this bill, some government contractor will be denied use of a non-trivial open source library and roll their own... To hilarious and horrifying consequences?

I have a Huawei SUN2000 inverter and the network dongle is an optional extra, which is not required once the initial setup is completed. During setup you need it to provide a WiFi connection to the mobile app, but the installer could use their own dongle.

When I had my solar installed I had no internet connection at the property, so the installer gave me instructions of how to pair the inverter when I did. I had a smart meter which gave hourly data, so there wasn't really much need in connecting the inverter up. It has indicator lights to tell you when something goes wrong.
At one point, I was working at a company where attackers were spamming our service with ToS-violating content (moslty porn but many grotesque, violent stuff). The decision was made to require a phone number on the account to disable the attack. I argued that phone numbers were stupid easy to get and bypass this measure, but we did it anyway. To my complete surprise, the attackers didn't bother the obviously surmountable hurdle of getting burner numbers. Yes, phone numbers aren't perfect, but in practice they're surprisingly effective.

I fail to see how privacy can both be eroded while also saying phone numbers are stupidly easy to get and bypass. If you're concerned about the privacy of your phone number, feel free to avail yourself of the same methods the bad actors could use. Burner is a legal app.

I think calling this a bad decision is arguable. We hand over phone numbers for MFA all the time. I think this is a perfectly fine decision walking well away from the border of invasiveness, which is why I put the burden on critics to define an alternative.
I don't, haha. My recollection is that it was required for ranked to avoid being put in some "cheater lobby" or something, but it's been a few years.
Rewritten OpenGL drivers make AMD’s GPUs “up to 72%” faster in some pro apps
You're right, this person does not represent Google but here's the hard truth:

Google does not offer Adsense/Admob support for ordinary people. No way to reach them.
I guess they're more worried about what degree of control their cloud has over the device, and since it upgrades trough the Internet, I guess they have potentially absolute control. The idea is minimizing the risk a device like this would become if compromised.
We are using C++ (mostly 11) for production. We use a compiler from Green Hills: https://www.ghs.com/products/compiler.html I do not have the best love for the compiler.

We have many static code analysers that are crap.

For version control and "CI/CD" (we do not really do CI/CD, it only checks if it "compiles"), Azure now, migrating from Jenkins.

Editor/IDE VCode is recommended, I prefer Emacs.

Debugging is done by cout. Almost nobody knows what gdb is.
> OOP is considerably older than '90s.

Fad means popular (in a deragetory way). 90’s was its popularity heyday.

> See NIM Method Call Syntax for example: https://nim-lang.org/docs/tut2.html#object-oriented-programm...

So oop is when you `obj.methodName(args)` instead of `methodName(obj, args)`? Well if that’s all it is about then I can get behind it...

> OOP is a tool just as Git is a tool.

An iron maiden is just a tool. Don’t be hatin’ it’s just a tool what has it done to you?
I work for an organization where all the accounting is digital, has been for decades. Yet every miscellaneous expense reimbursement requires a receipt. That physical receipt has to be submitted with an expense report. The physical receipt is then scanned when the expense report is processed, but it is also filed and has to be kept for 7 years, subject to audit.

It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, so it must either be a legal requirement or maybe the organization had a really bad experience with expense fraud and is now paranoid.
After going with Tesla panels, this is my plan next time. I could have had 3x the system for 1/2 the price. At that cost/ scale I could truly be off the grid.
The people who make these decisions, who are the ones signing off on this sort of thing?

Somehow I doubt this went to the board of directors level to ask if they have sign-off on low-key blocking a head of state in a market publicly-traded Twitter Inc. is active in.
While it's extensible, the primary use case for Steampipe so far is to query DevOps data (e.g. AWS, GitHub, Kubernetes, Terraform files, etc) - so often they are working within the Steampipe DB itself and combining with CSV data etc.

But, because it's just Postgres, it can be integrated into many different data infrastructure strategies. Many users query Steampipe from standard BI tools, others use it to extract data into S3, it has also been connected with BigQuery - https://briansuk.medium.com/connecting-steampipe-with-google...

As opposed to a lake or a warehouse, we think of it as a "Data Rainbow" - structured, ephemeral queries on live API data. Because it doesn't have to import the data it works uniquely well for small, wide data and joining large data sets (e.g. search, querying logs). I spoke about this in detail at the Yow Data conference - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BNzIU5SFaw
I think you also have to consider the entire chain of custody for the address: Do you have any browser plugins that might have grabbed it? Have you used a VPN while accessing Amazon? Have you accessed it with a Mac or Windows computer?
It very much can be. The sheriff in the county I grew up in used to search people's property without a warrant and they weren't home. I remember my buddy's dad when I was a teen was growing a little marijuana deep in his cornfield. Buddy and I were home, his parents gone. Sheriff knocks on the door with the plants at his feet to tell us to tell his dad that he better not catch him growing anymore. I also remember others having similar experiences with them coming home to the sheriff looking through their sheds for a stolen ATV. No warrant, no nothing. And nobody ever did anything about him because he was too well connected with town leadership and county leadership. Small and rural areas can be heavily screwed up because the sheriff and many of the county commissioners or city councilmen or other people in local governance all went to highschool together. Nothing like an old good ol' boys network.
@Syonyk has some good stuff here: https://www.sevarg.net/tag/solar/ - I'm sure he'll comment on this eventually, but he has built his own solar in Idaho.

Metaphor Systems – search using language models
Completely agree.

That said we shouldn’t reserve the “IoT” moniker for crappy cloud based things requiring constant internet connections to work. That’s the internet of shit (as popularized by https://mobile.twitter.com/internetofshit)

I definitely want some connectivity in a solar panel setup. But in the case of a solar panel array there is no point for that connectivity to use be more than local, or offer more than simple monitoring. A local polling api that offers a simple json blob with stats? Does that qualify as “IoT”?
So what's the solution? I hate this status quo as much as you do, and standing here in a Mexican Standoff is not viable forever. You're right. "The web" as a platform has been twisted and perverted beyond real usability at this point. There is no path forward where we undo Google's damage and preserve the qualities of the web we enjoy today. So, how do we fix this?

The solution (to me) is simple - fix native app distribution. Make platform targets operate the same as they used to, and give people control over their computer again. The only ones preventing us from a platform-agnostic utopia is Apple and Google, both of whom profit off the artificial difficulty of distributing applications.

So, here we are. Google is poisoning the web while Apple refuses to swallow their pride. Everyone is hurting, and nobody stands to gain anything but the shareholders. A hopeless situation, but let's not pretend like everything here is morally grey.
It would never have occurred to me, either! There was certainly none of that crap attached a decade ago when I had solar installed on my previous house. Glad to know this is something to screen for - but chagrined that it exists, naturally.

I work with people who declared config bankruptcy, switched from Emacs/Neovim to VS Code, and are perfectly happy and (maybe even more?) productive as a result.

VSC is not in the same category as vim but it seems to appeal because it's a halfway house between vim/Helix and a heavier IDE. John Carmack even said something similar about VSC in his Lex Fridman interview:

There are some Contour Next Link (non-2.4 version) listed on Ebay and other sites. Unless Medtronic locks the meter to one user account, maybe you could then pair it and get the data out, if they will ship to your country.

Here in Canada, the infusion sets Mio 30, Mio Advance, Sure T and Mio that I have used all came with a cap in each set. They also charge the government C$26 each, but still that cap cannot be worth more than a few cents, so it is a strange way to save money.

The sets have been failing early for me as well at the rate of about 1 in 10. I started with the Mio Advance and my nurse said to call Medtronic and report the failures. Medtronic sent a box of 10 Mio Advance plus boxes of 10 Mio and 10 Sure T (metal) to try for free. The Sure T failed less than the Mio Advance and Mio, but I just had one fail the first day so am trying the Mio 30 which goes in at an angle but uses plastic.
Wonder if there is anything like this for ClickHouse.

Agreed, if trying to do it with one hand. If you chord with the alternate hand’s thumb all is well. However, I would expect most people tend use only one half of the shift ctrl alt cmd/win keys. Typically with the left hand from what I’ve seen.
Now this is the kind of unhinged, unnuanced take I come to HN to read, bravo.
There is plenty they can do and that they're already doing. The inability to enter contracts with someone doesn't mean they need to get banned for life from the service.
