The UK is on my list. It’s not run by grown ups now, but neither are we. It’s an infinite step up, walkability-wise, and I think things will improve politically over time. Surely you guys are learning some lessons now, right?!
But why did they think it was a scam? The linked article only claims an 8 minute flight, so if it's concern about battery weight (which is the only concern I can think of) then the test flight still doesn't really answer that.

My LG tv shows ads, streams all sorts of data to LG that I’d rather they didn’t, and the UI is pretty ropey.

Given I mostly watch Kodi, I’d love that to be the primary UI.
For this level of exposure, probably both?

"Ducks" seems to be published simultaneously by Drawn & Quarterly in North America and Penguin Books in the UK. These two together have enough money and experience to mount a good PR campaign.

It's not just my personal choice. I can't choose to use SMS to communicate if the people I need to talk to don't also make the same choice. And iMessage falls back to SMS when you send messages to people who don't have it.

In the US at least (don't know about Italy), TV is very rarely streamed over the Internet. Most people have a cable / set-top box that does the descrambling and then send a (HDCP protected) video stream to the TV.

Because commercial TVs are trusted devices that have the key to decrypt the HDCP stream, if a TV had a feature to record and rewind video, it would work just fine. Widevine isn't related because that's only used (AFAIK) for Internet streaming.
One very efficient way of making travel faster is by taking out a lot of current traffic. We should redesign our cities so people simply need to travel less. Make things available to communities at the door step. More smaller grocery stores dotted than those super mega stores. More coworking offices with a hot desk model instead of big offices crammed in downtown. More bars, clubs, entertainment in residential areas for their residents. More schools, libraries, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. where people live. That would be much better. Maybe that combined with fast trains and subways which are not packed, run frequent and are clean will fix most of those issues which we think we have today.
LG webOS is still one of the better experiences on smart TVs for sure. It is generally smooth with good app support and experience and like you said limited built in ads.

While not perfect it is the system I like the most if I have to use a smart TV. I do still prefer an Apple TV 4K though.
Hmm, Firefox can still connect to some of these.

Let’s say that you’re correct, and the homeless population in the USA is more psychotic than the homeless population in Germany. Can you possibly imagine any reasons why the German population, who has universal healthcare and a variety of other social services, would have better mental health than the US population? Could it possibly be that social spending absolutely does work?

Like, you want to spend $60k/year or whatever throwing these people in prison for struggling to make it in the current system, and I’m here saying “spend that money on services, like Germany does”, and you say “no our people are way worse off than the German population” and you cannot seem to connect the dots that German social spending is exactly the reason Germany doesn’t have these problems… social spending works!

This reminds me of a story from my Russian teacher. She was speaking with some American Russian-speakers who work for our three-letter agencies or something, and their Russian was perfect, amazing - but one thing gave them away: conjugating numbers too perfectly.

Native speakers are lazy: even though they know perfectly well how to conjugate the numbers, it’s easier to rephrase things so you don’t have to.

That was not a nuclear war. If one country gets nuked today, the rest of the world nuclear arsenal will be expended.

There is an infinitesimal chance that only one nuke goes off, or only one country nukes and the other doesn't.

This is why Mutual Assured Destruction is such an effective peace time strategy, until it isn't.
I've had a weird time explaining "Louisville Style" pizza to outsiders or that Louisville is a bit of a "pizza nexus" where all the styles of pizza meet and mingle. No matter the style of pizza that I want, I can find someone to sell it to me. But the "home" style that Bearno's/Wick's/Boomboz/Impellizerri's (RIP) build I don't know where else to find that and describing it is tough. ("It seems thin like New York style, but it is thicker than that because it has to hold all the toppings not just cheese and maybe pepperoni, something truly supreme like half a deli and a full salad. Yet it also isn't crispy like a cracker like Cincinnati style or [shiver] St. Louis style.") I found a pizza place one time in DC that was really close. I don't know if I could find it again. I've also lived in pizza deserts on the West Coast where the choices were nothing but Papa Johns and Pizza Hut for miles (both headquartered in Louisville, which is its own weird thing; truly a "pizza nexus"). So many cities think they know what pizza is and what the best kind is. Not everyone believes me that I think Louisville figured it out: the best kind of pizza is always whatever kind of pizza that you want today (feel like Chicago style or Detroit style or New York style today? go for it!), but the second best kind is a hybrid inspired by all of those and has to go toe to toe with all of those that I don't think exists anywhere but Louisville. I don't expect many people to believe me that have never lived in Louisville, and despite the big power chains being from Louisville, there's nobody who has felt like exporting "our" pizza and no one even knows there is a "Louisville style". It's fascinating.

Not many nuclear plants last for 60-100 years. Most existing ones have an operational life of about 40 years. Those that run longer have invariably received an extensive (and expensive) mid-life refurbishment.

Then they are left in a shutdown, de-fuelled state (safe storage) for 60 years or so before they can be safely dismantled.

This whole process is very expensive, in part because you have to pay to manage and maintain the site for such a long time.

Decommissioning all the UK’s existing civil nuclear sites is estimated to cost taxpayers over £132bn, and the work will not be complete for 120 years.

>That is not the point. The person you replied to wasn't saying they know for sure they were stealing user data, just that Meta has no way of knowing they aren't, and even if they aren't right now, no way of knowing if they will start in the future.

But isn't such an application running on the end-user's hardware and making requests at the end-user's behest?

If so, what does Meta have to do with it at all? Should they be allowed to tell me what software I'm allowed to run on my hardware?

The risk you mention is all on the user's side and none of it on Meta's side. If the user decides they want to accept that risk, AFAICT it's no skin off Meta's nose. Or am I missing something here?
I would expect publishers to start promoting ebooks more as it moves consumer attention away from physical books, and the publishers should be able to format the pages, margins, lettering however they want. That is, if they have the foresight to do so and their workflows can handle it.
Really nice, focused write up. Very useful and to the point.

HTML is really very accessible to someone with basic computer skills. It's a shame that a standard business website is now a facebook page.

There is a local gym near me with a static HTML webpage, hosted on local ISP web hosting. It's quick to load, responsive and always up to date. Checking the opening times, address and special events is much easier than on some aggregator site or google maps (which is often out of date). It's also very easy to read on many devices.
This really depends on the forum. Yes, most had some eccentric people, but this was a small price to pay. More strictly moderated platforms or "modern media" tend to show you more ads and questionable content that is overall more harmful than someone being a bit too blunt. Also, there were extremely helpful forums too that had a much, much better atmosphere than your standard discord channel or other large social media platforms without it even being a competition.

I don't want the internet to be kind everywhere, some artificial culture. If I don't like the tone of the place, I can go elsewhere. Strong moderation comes with too high a price in my opinion.
As Iranian, I disagree! Those reporter of western mainstream media (last time I watched France24) which have a presence there needs to incorporate some propaganda and reports within the red lines at best. Otherwise, like many others they will be asked to leave the country or if they be Iranian correspondents they even can face serious charges (some form of treason)!

As Iranian, I usually watch with good amounts of doubts such reports with their Iran correspondence. The last time, the anchor said: "It's very good that we have you over there, let me ask...". For me, it was Nope! It actually worse than we have you over there. It means you need to conform!

It was even more surprising later for me that even in the western main stream media, the regime propaganda is the main voice that I hear, believe it or not you can research the NIAC network (Iran under-cover lobbyists) and see how often they're consulted as journalists/commentators on Iran issue in those medias.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Iranian_American_Coun...

I agree, there is a lack of resources here and Iranian journalists are responsible in part. But in defense there are not much hope/resources for independent journalism overall not only on this matter but almost any other. Simply money talks and sifting through that needs focus and great deal of time!
Looks interesting but isn't this just another way of syncing data to your database (duplicated data). Instead of via a webhook you're using this tdog CLI

This approach is also limited because it won't allow you to do mutations like:

createBillingPortalSession(customer: "cus_xxx") {
id
url
}
}
}
```
When labor availability goes down, its price goes up, and so investing in expensive automation becomes competitive.

My biggest fear are shaped charge airburst nukes.

Basically two in almost tandem, exploding in sync, one above the other.

One generates a Pressure ball above the other, forcing its explosion into a much more destructive ring. Do that with hydrogen bombs and you get weapons were one such warhead can level entire metropol areas and one icbm can carry multiple.. SF would be a circular coral reef after that
I went to a local store (I'm in EU) and asked the salesperson "what's your biggest 4k, dumb TV?" It happened to be a 49" NEO. So that's what I have at the moment. When it's time to change it, I will try the same thing again. If that fails, I'll either get a "hotel TV", a really big PC monitor or a 5k projector.
For one it's a single install, so you don't need to install VSCode, add the extension, restart, make some changes in the project config .ini... This is a huge deal for hobbyists who are often not computer power users or even fully computer-literate (often children who are just learning this stuff).

Otherwise, you can do anything Arduino 2 can do with VSCode+PIO, it'll just take some setup.

We haven't had a situation where the leader of a nuclear power is cornered like this before. And so far, he seems to double down rather than trying to deescalate the situation. I'm certainly not sleeping well at night.
This is the most Hacker News comment I’ve read in a while.

Also would love to know how you are doing Dolby Vision playback for example as I’ve never found a reliable way to do Dolby Vision on Windows, macOS or Linux.
This seems extreme. Do you support fair use limits, or is blocking a DOS attack also a violation of these rules?
I wouldn't make too restricted assumptions on the form of a future AGI though. I find theoretical projections from a more axiomatic level quite important. It's like making rules for nukes before they were invented by assuming an abstract apocalypse-capable weapon without knowledge of missiles or nuclear fission.

That being said, the absolute majority of AI safety theory seems to fall into the same pothole where philosophy falls; modelling the world through language-logic rather than probabilities. The example you quoted fits this category - it's way too specific and thus unlikely to be useful in any way, even though its wording may deceive its author to believe it to be an inescapable outcome.
I've watched countless videos about the "metaverse" and I don't get it. It looks to me like something that could be a cute five minute party trick, not something that will revolutionize anything.

Wind turbine blades probably only make up a very small fraction of the nonrecycleable waste we produce. Personally I'm not very worried about them sitting in a landfill somewhere. "Just bury it somewhere" seems to be an acceptable solution for nuclear waste, why not turbine blades?

Countries don't do anything, people do. Recently I've been thinking a lot about people in so-called hostile countries, and the conclusion I arrived at is that the vast majority of those people are leading broadly similar lives to us in the West. They face similar struggles and yearn for similar things. This idea of us vs them and the proliferation of nationalism doesn't sit right with me.

I look at the things the people in charge of the country whose nationality I possess (UK) does and I am aghast at the idea that people around the world would associate them with me. I'm sure there are many people in Russia and China etc. who feel similar.

I would just like an option without the smart-stuff. It seems impossible to find, it's either very small and ugly TVs or built for something else like digital signage and very expensive.

I also have the impression that "everyone" buys an apple tv/Chromecast/etc anyways because of limitations in the smart tv or just ease of use. It makes a lot of sense to have these things separated except for TV manufacturers that want you to buy a TV more frequently.
>Just can we please ditch the parent-child setup known as middle management?

If you read typical thread about employment, work-life balance, etc, there's always vocal group of people who say, that you should do bare minimum required for not getting fired. If entire team thinks like this, it will slowly drive productivity into the ground. Simplest (not necessarily most effective), solution to raise this bar is to pay someone to do it for you.

I'm not advocating for this setup, but IMO that's why companies do it and why it often feels like parent-children relation.
They're welcome to take the servers down altogether, if they can't pay for them without displaying ads.

Or require an API key that's tied to a particular account that pays for access.
>The app is by definition acting as a proxy, and therefore the developers can intercept and see the data, though they might not be doing so currently.

You're making an assumption here that hasn't been confirmed. That assumption being that any app accessing user data from Meta is proxying (i.e., streaming the requested data to the app publisher's servers and then passing that data along to the end user) that data through their servers.

Is that the case with the app in question? Is it the case with every such app?

Or are there apps that directly connect to Meta's servers from the user's hardware without streaming the requested data through the app publisher's servers?

The app in TFA may be proxying (see above) data through their servers (that's the definition of a proxy in this context), but I don't know if they are doing so. If they are, there certainly are serious privacy/security issues with that process.

But again, no one has provided evidence that's what the app in question is doing. If they are, you should run screaming in the other direction.

However, if the app is simply performing the same API calls as Meta's app and returning the data directly to the end user, the risk profile is pretty similar for both apps (dependent on code quality, the ethical stance of the publishers, etc.).
Visualizing the World's Population at 8,000,000,000
Unlimited "Developer Mode" access

While LG allows willing Homebrew developers/users to install unofficial applications onto their TVs, official method requires manual renewal of "developer mode session", which expires after 50 hours of inactivity.

Some of the amazing homebrew that has been built/ported onto webOS would likely never be accepted onto LG's official Content Store.

Lower level user/application access

This allows willing developers to research webOS system internals, which will result in creation of amazing projects, like PicCap (high performance video capture used for DIY immersive ambient lighting setups), or access to some interesting features like customization of system UI, remote adjustment of certain TV configuration options, and others.

No, the wind and solar capacity is not massive, in fact it is far too small. If it were much bigger, you would have much lower prices. Electricity in Europe is expensive at the moment because of fuel prices.

Also, I don't have the numbers nearby, but I believe gas is mostly used for heating in Germany. Your heating system is outdated - you just didn't care because of the cheap gas from the east.

Stop blaming the technologies that can actually fix this.
A good way to detect a network loop is to stand a bit further from the rack and see if any lights on the switches are blinking in sync. Much quicker to see this pattern than "show interface stats" on telnet and check the numbers.
