Just wanted to chime in. I have my own Publishing Platform on top of Google Docs.
It's called https://docswrite.com

It can bulk publish your Google Docs to WordPress
also it can create you a blog from Google Docs.
One wonders why M-DISC is not included in the original article at all.
There are limitations, it's not always just like your home credit union. One of the reasons one might go to a bank branch when we have ATMs and online banking is to get a cashier's check, which can't be done through co-op. My online credit union can FedEx them overnight so it's not too bad, but I switched away from a local credit union when I moved because they weren't able to do services like that except at a branch.
It's just a hang out spot for beaurocratically-minded, listless Harvard grads at this point.
well electron is garbage and I stand by that.

it works well, but it's a fundamentally flawed way to produce cross-platform applications. too much performance is just wasted in the DOM and the JS runtime.

developers trade a small amount of development time profit for themselves in exchange for perpetually sluggish software for each and every one of their users, who could number in the millions. it is a few weeks or months gained for the development team, but costs years and years of cpu time measured cumulatively across all users.

the tradeoff should be the other way around. I will gladly trade away weeks of my time if it saves cumulative years of my users' time.
It's a bullshit excuse and they know it. Lufthansa even has on-board WiFi on their planes. How are you going to use it if your laptop is supposed to have "transmission function" turned off?

They just don't want people to have proof they've lost their luggage.
Extremely sad the comment is warranted these days, but yep, nice and fast.
I agree with the fact that storing your identity on a service like Google isn't necessarily the best idea, but as a developer I DON'T want to be dealing with passwords and account lock outs. OAuth is great in that regard.
NFC and Bluetooth are different technologies with different capabilities and ranges.
Not that they need any sympathy, but it seems unjust towards apple to be targeting a specific product from a specific company, rather than say a blanket ban (no device that will transmit Bluetooth). I wonder if this will boost the market for airtag competitors.
The final fate of self-hosted QNX was super unfortunate, and poor decision making on the part of RIM/Blackberry. QNX completely dropped support for self-hosted QNX Neutrino development after 6.5 [0], and stopped distributing installation media ISOs with 6.6/7.0. Instead you needed to develop everything on macOS/Windows/Linux hosts, make custom specialized images using their published BSPs (Build Support Packages).

So no neutrino hosted compiler toolchain, no desktop. Oh yeah, they also completely killed off their full GUI desktop, the Photon microGUI in QNX 6.6. There was even a working port of Mozilla Firefox to it at some point. You could use all this freely with a hobbyist/non-commercial license in the early 2000s.

> run near empty flights often

This is kind of amazing to hear. Roughly the last 10 flights I've been on have been completely full.
Line-of-sight. If you're 4-5 miles up with no blockers except the aircraft skin, you get to confuse a lot of towers at once.
So sorry to hear this. Makes my blood boil… can’t stand fraudsters. Can’t stand how they’re basically able to do this because some bureaucracy going on behind the scenes.

I see so many horror stories about contractors pulling stuff like this on FB. yes, even when they are licensed (admittedly a lot more unlicensed tough). Does anyone know how/why this is so prevalent?
Out of NFC range. Not out of Bluetooth range.
No more or less chance that really anything else connected to power to catch on fire. Just make sure RCD works.

Hell, some weeks ago my oven decided the lower heater's line is now connected to ground and blows fuses...

Our 8 racks in DC only had single event of something blowing (power supply) and aside of smell and fuse blowing nothing really happened

Servers are essentially metal boxes with a bit of glass-reinforced epoxy and some plastic inside so there is limited amount of stuff that can burn. UPS is probably bigger problem

For example the OVH datacenter fire was more of "stuff around servers was flammable" (they had wooden ceilings for some reason...) rather than "just" servers.
This can be quickly resolved by moving all those employees to Air France
You're doing that HN thing of trying to axiomatically defeat an argument that is supported by clear evidence. You have to do better than give us reasons you don't think the drug war makes sense as a vector for racism. You either need countervailing evidence, or something that impeaches the evidence you've been given.

It's a particularly brazen stroke of message-boardiness to put words in the mouth of someone who just rebutted your first-principles argument with evidence.

If you've decided to carry the flag of "the drug war is, contrary to popular belief, not racist" --- and I fully respect your prerogative to do that --- you should at least come prepared to knock down a bit of evidence so popular it was featured on Adam Ruins Everything. There are other easy-pickings facts to whack your argument with; for instance, you can just search AskHistorians, where this has been covered (hint: I'm pretty sure you're wrong.)

Just for fun:

Thanks for great questions, we are updating the page to include more technical info.

1. We use GPS for timing and OSC sync.
2. We will be releasing the EPC code shortly, doing some clean up. Please star us so you get notified when it happens :)
3. It is Made in the USA. PCB assembly is done locally in the west coast.
4. Yes, we are integrating with CBRS SAS via device proxy. This will be done by the time hardware is shipped!
> Then there's the fact that playing a record or CD doesn't require an internet connection

Are you not aware of this crazy idea of actually storing digital audio files on a local storage medium, and playing them from there?
I think the vast majority of well architected software applications will have the property that no component alone is too large to be deployed as a “personal” deployment.

The ability to point deployed personal stacks at a pre-production environment (this is often the default) instead of another personal deployment is a means of breaking the chain of needing to deploy personal instances of every dependency needed to function.

This gives the developer choice. If they are only working within one part of the system, only a single personal deployment may be needed. If the change is more cross cutting, multiple personal deployments could be used (or maybe, the change should be made more incrementally).
The machines that ran it are pretty well documented, and there's some interesting obscure Unix history behind them, like https://www.twcarchive.com/wiki/Weather_Star_XL, which I believe was one of the first huge sales for SGI O2, to FreeBSD-based https://www.twcarchive.com/wiki/IntelliStar.

Whoa now ol' timer! j/k.

I like signal because it make switching people away from other platforms easier. It is not anonymous, but it is secure (until proven otherwise). I'll take the latter if I cannot have both.

That being said, they have room to improve. I dislike the work-around I have to do to use two separate phones and keep a single conversation going.
> Optional chaining or null checks should not be used "defensively"

Agreed. I often find the `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null` error annoying. But I would rather see the error than let unknown nulls sneak through my codebase.
Interestingly, they're not an issue in carry on bags. Which sit about 3 feet higher than a checked bag inside of an airplane.
Katara author here, you're right! Katara is built on Metalift (https://github.com/metalift/metalift), which is a general purpose framework we've been building at Berkeley to abstract away the logic of analyzing the LLVM IR. The decision to use LLVM was exactly because it is the least-common-denominator for so so many languages, so we are excited to add official support for Rust and friends in the near future!
You're supposed to put your phone on airplane mode in a train or subway too, but most people don't:

https://pocketnow.com/airplane-mode/

The problem is significantly lessened for trains vs. planes though because you're traveling an order of magnitude slower and hence you switch cells an order of magnitude less frequently. Also many commuter rails run alongside major highways or boulevards, where the cell systems are built assuming lots of cell handoffs at roughly highway speeds. If enough people used high-speed rail to overwhelm the cell system we'd probably see announcements to put phones in airplane mode there too, but very few folks will travel long distances at high speeds on a train.

While that’s true, it absolutely sucks that you have to do this much background research for a service like this.
> I see you are not a fan.

True. This is 15 years of frustration talking.

I'm surprised you didn't have the stability problems. So so so many times have I been looking at a standard Windows "OK" popup box with so much java traceback in it that it literally filled the entire screen. Some periods this happened literally every 2 days or so. What helped stability extremely was installing the separate Sametime client and disabling the sametime functionality in Notes itself. However our admins frowned on that for some reason (never found out why). So I always had to get it from dubious sources.

> I see notes as a basically a NoSQL database attached to a primitive gui and a very bad scripting language (lotus script). You could make a little application and deploy it to a team pretty easily.

Too easily, yes. It was too handy. I wonder if this was intentional because these little databases had a way of becoming indispensable over time. Leading to Notes being set in stone as a business requirement.

> IBM had a bunch of little Notes databases/applications that could be used by the dept to track project and other things. I haven't seen much that replaces its sort of simplicity and ease of use. I guess the web, but it seems it takes more to stand up a custom app these days.

Yep.. MS Access roughly had the same and it was actually structured as a decent relational database, not some unstructured mess. But file based, a bit like sqlite with a forms and scripting tool built in. So it was also easy to migrate to SQL Server once an app became so big that it needed a real server. MS even had (has?) a wizard for this. It was really piss-easy to make a little tool in it and its scripting language was easier and known by more people (being VBA which most Excel experts know). It was even quite possible to make decently performing fairly complex apps in it. Not sure how it stands now as I haven't used it in years, but from what I've seen with some quick looks throughout the years, Access has not really changed at all since 2005 or so.

However, Access did not reach this ubiquity and the reason is that MS left it out of the cheapest office editions. Which meant most standard users never had it on their PC and they would have to request it and provide a business reason for the cost.

Notes on the other hand was always there and available, ready for people to tinker with to their heart's desire and create a whole shadow IT world :) Very smart move from Lotus, I have to say.

> I have no idea how you would export the unstructured data that lives in those databases..

Oh don't start... It was terrible. None of it was documented because said "handy Joe"s were usually not experienced developers and had almost always left the company years ago.

Also, most of these had been unmaintained for many years and thus not really fitting business requirements anymore. So lots of ugly workarounds were used, and the business side tried to use the project to inject new business requirements. Which in some cases made sense but in other ways would derail the project completely.

In the end most of them were converted to web using a low-code/zero-code platform.
> I love opening an app and just seeing album covers. I dunno, maybe I'm crazy.

I feel the same way, something fun about knowing my digital rips are the exact same edition as the physical object I can go pick up off my shelf instead of an album being some nebulous thing that might have extra tracks or a different mix depending on how I listen to it. I always type out my discs' catalog number in the Comments tag of my rip for that reason.

Also the predictability that my music will never disappear due to losing some distribution license (learned this lesson with Rdio), that I can never be out of network range, and that it is incapable of spying on me because it is incapable of using the network at all. I love the combo of old would-otherwise-be-ewaste Android phone + Musicolet + yuge SD card + my own CD rips for music in my car: https://i.imgur.com/HSSouVT.jpg

"AirTags leak your private data, thus they must be disabled to preserve your privacy."
Just what you need for a 44x46 character display on a VIC-20 with sufficient memory.
It still happens. In a lot of cases they find it and go through some efforts to deliver the luggage to where you’re staying.
Why do you think I think I'm special? I simply think we're all humans, with basic rights, such as being able to keep tabs on our personal property, within reason-- which, surely, a small, light, unobtrusive tracker that has no known problematic failure modes, and which contains a battery that is within the checked baggage limits comports with?

I made no suggestion that I should be able to shirk the rules while everyone else deserves to get caught.

You're welcome to point and laugh at me if Lufthansa bans me and I have to stop putting AirTags in my bags so as not to be banned by other airlines, should they choose to adopt such an anti-consumer stance as well.

I have no real issue with taking a calculated risk, the kinds of calculated risks we take all day every day. Surely you don't carefully read the terms of carriage on every airline ticket you purchase. I know I don't. I trust that the market will more or less treat us reasonably, and if one vendor does not, I can find another which does.
Suppose an adversarial example is recognized correctly by a human, yet a model recognizes it wrongly.

Therefore, the model uses other information than humans in order to classify, and the information it uses is wrong.

Therefore, the model needs to be trained ON THE ADVERSARIAL EXAMPLES in order to gain robustness.

Similarly to GANs using a classifier adversary for augmenting a generative network, one could use a generative adversary for augmenting a classifier network.

You can repeat until the adversarial examples look ambiguous even to a human.
Fully p2p doesn't really work well either. For a fully p2p network, nodes will have to hold the entire data.

Now first storage space taken will be ridiculous, and then you will be hosting content you don't want to host because it could be straight up illegal in your country.

Look at any crypto-blockchain and count how many full-nodes vs thin-nodes are running in networks.

Then there is the whole tragedy of commons: average seed ratios and streaming video players for torrent content shows that are not willing to contribute to the greater good.
Cell phone cells are (ideally) shaped to account for the expected pattern of how handover will occur. Along roads and train lines, the cells are (at least in GSM) supposed to be tailored to allow for easy routing and handover as the devices travels in the direction of the way.

While I have never read anything concretely analyzing the handover pattern of devices on airplanes, I would expect that since a very large number of cells are almost equally visible/equal signal strength, the network would have to frequently handover the device from one cell to another.

The handover process is, for voice traffic, very resource intense. (in GSM) it involves duplication of traffic to the neighboring cell and a lot of coordination.

I think that could be the reason for why mobile operators find airplane-borne devices annoying.
I'm not so sure the free market will resolve things here, because people who use prepaid mobile plans are also typically lower income. They might not be considered a significant loss on net.
QNX with its realtime microkernel and its GUI is probably one of the most underestimated OSes out there ... real pity its not free and open source.

When done properly about two decades ago it would slingshot it against Linux really well.
Yeah that is... a non argument by Lufthansa -- i will be polite. (Resources: Here is for FAA, EU ruling is similar: https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/ped/ — check the FAQ also.)

They technically can -— the best kind of can I guess —- but it is not in the spirit of course of ILS interference (@108-112 MHz) with Bluetooth at 2.45 GHz and extremely low range. Hell the pilot is likely to have their iPad with Bluetooth on during all plane operations.

FAA expects to be communicating with mature individuals and entities and not this in their guidelines.

With the same thinking they can ban pacemakers and all cordless headphones, and …breathing. Good luck to Lufthansa. They just declared their baggage handling sucks.
both BeOS and QNX were a breath of fresh air after Windows 98. same as yourself, tried both as my main OS in early 2000s while at university.

thanks for the reminder!
Unlike Wifi, which runs on ISM band, cellular does not same output power limitation so i can go further. Cellular base-station can be either femto/pico, metro, micro and macro, depending on power level and number of sectors/users it could support. Ukama, currently, have both femto (Home Node) and micro (Tower + Amplifier Unit) with power output of 100mW and 1W, respectively.
But that statement "storms are becoming more common" is a strong statement that requires strong positive proof! The burden of proof is on the claim, not on disputing it!
That’s the fix from Apple’s side — setting a flight mode that only activates after a set time period, altitude changes indicating landing, or some other beacon saying you’ve landed. So long as the Bluetooth radio doesn’t transmit, it should be fine from an FAA/EU equivalent point of view.
I think this point is missed in the implementation of these systems.

Give the people doing the work the responsibility for the work and the authority to chase down and "demand" answers they need to get the work done. If that can't be achieved, then maybe you need a meeting where the manager is involved. No need for daily meetings with reports of "same as yesterday". No need to to wait for a meeting before getting advice on how to unblock something. Just get on with what needs to be done.

I remember having such an argument with a friend who is vehemently opposed to Wikipedia, because not written by experts, unlike Britannica.

I then opened a random page of Britannica, about an opera. And the phonetic pronunciation of the Italian name was incorrect (I'm a native Italian speaker) and it was how a brit might pronounce it.

In Wikipedia I would have fixed it. In Britannica the error is probably still there.

I presume that since I found an error in the first page I looked at, there probably are many other errors.
Sounds like a good idea, but I'd like to see how is it better than googling these phrases together with pytorch keyword. Not saying it's not better, just not clear if it is.

They don't have to know.

All they want to do is respond to "You lost my bag" with "But you jeopardized the entire flight with your illegal transmitter".
The author states:

>"While some airlines provide baggage tracking, it’s awesome to always know exactly where your checked bag is."

Can someone say which airlines provide baggage tracking and it works exactly?

It's amazing that in 2022 baggage tracking is somehow too exotic for carriers as a matter of course.

Its curious that with the all day additions and removals it still doesn't correct more accurately to the drift. 1 day for 217 years might not be huge, but still feels significant, especially when considering that the julian calendars 1 day per 128 years was deemed unacceptable already back in 16th century.
