I’ve gone a completely different route and only allow whitelisted calls to my phone - and just to make sure there is no confusion if I received a call or not I’ve disabled voice mail on my line as well.

Anyone who wants to contact me and is not on the whitelist sends postal mail, which is significantly more expensive then a phone call, and that has proven to be a huge deterrent.

Debt collectors chasing down long dormant charge-offs will happily ring my phone off the hook if given a chance but they won’t spring for first class postage or proof of delivery.

Well, it is good at times for prototyping DSP and ML algorithms.

I don’t think NHS funding has ever been “cut” in the history of the service. Sure, budget has been reduced from what was promised or intended, but every year the total spent has either increased or very occasionally been static [1].

Oh, and anyone who has actually had to use the NHS, or perhaps had a relative use it, particularly at the end of their lives, will have been very quickly disavowed of the idea that it is “world class”. This is not to say a US model is desirable (the US has the worst combination of various constituent practices/rules/structures) but other models are possible. The Dutch for one.

Funny a few years ago I built exactly this for our company mailings.
We checked out several frameworks and those are great if you only need an Email to look somewhat good and not have too specific of requirements.

But our Emails had to replicate other teams designs 1:1 pixel perfect. So we mostly used the same code blocks.

I needed some sort of framework that would organize those code blocks and jsx was perfect. I generated twig templates out of the JSX and used php to send the emails.
When I read here about nuclear as a solution I never read about how much fuel there is left, where it comes from, how much CO2 digging up the fuel and processing it is created as well as the waste management.

The waste is not a solved problem. In Germany we have huge problems with it hence why nuclear is on the way out.

Nuclear in France had problems with running during the summer due to the water in rivers being too hot and the system not maintaining the correct temperature difference.
A number of years ago we've reached a point, at least in my mind, that the mention you used to be at Google counts as a negative.
I simply constructively suggest to bypass jamming concerns for the 2.4GHz link, by having the devices communicate more privately over coaxial cable.

From the perspective of the radios in the doorbell or a wifi dongle it doesn't matter if you are transceiving via antenna over the ether or transceiving over coax, as long as you use a suitable characteristic impedance.

For a person who doesn't understand cars perhaps changing a tire feels like "Frankensteining" too...

I suggest you reconsider the downvote but predict the suggestion to be in vain.

The quote of your parent was:

> neither Ring nor Nest has a hardwired network option (or, better yet, PoE)

so it's not entirely honest when you say:

> The poster pointed said Ring didn't have an ethernet/PoE option.

(eliding that this person made a more general statement: not having a hardwired connection)

So I think my point stands that it does have a hardwired connector (transmission line to u.FL) and that it isn't broken out.

Those who wish their security camera to function in a mission critical setting (like working when it's supposed to work, even in the face of wireless jamming) I make a practical suggestion (as opposed to lamenting the idiocy of the average uninformed consumer when selecting a WiFi doorbell, like I read in other comments on this HN submission).

All it requires is to disassemble the doorbell a little, to remove the WiFi antenna, to drill a small hole in the plastic casing, and to attach a coaxial cable.

Do you remember old ethernet? it ran over coax too.

If most posters on this HN submission lament the idiocy of the consumer when selecting a WiFi security doorbell, those consumers can only conclude to buy another model, with the older one ending up in a landfill or at least unused. It is more ecological to fix the design, and thankfully WiFi antenna is a separate PCB so theres a u.FL connector for a coax to connect to, internally. This way these doorbells can continue to be used.

In trying to understand why a person would consider running a WiFi network over a coaxial cable a Frankenstein-like idea, I can only conclude it stems from a form of xenophobia: it is easy to believe that everything is the way it is because its the best way to handle things. In fact as a transmission line coaxial cables are superior to "ethernet" cables, its just that the latter are much cheaper to manufacture. This resulted in the (economical) dominance of "ethernet" cables. It is then only one misconception away to erroneously believe non-coaxial cables were chosen for their superior performance, when in fact its just a cost trade-off. So I conclude you are not too familiar with physics or electronics, else you would not call this Frankensteining.

> +389 Change in global electricity demand (TWh)

> +416 Change in renewable generation (TWh)

> +5 Change in fossil generation (TWh)

I'm confused by this, it doesn't add up: change in renewables + fossil generation = +421TWh, so why does it say +389TWh for change in global electricity demand? Is 32TWh just going to waste?
I for one am thankful for the people who get trapped in the productivity rat race. Without them I wouldn’t have the tools that I use 1% of to take my notes. sunglasses
Well, I just showed that forcing people to compete while not having a plan to "escape" stifles innovation. So, there's your sequitor.

In the future, I would really prefer that you either save the snark, assume good faith, and at least try to keep up with the points being made, or just keep it all to yourself and don't reply to me, alright? I will gladly do you the same courtesy. Breaking things down into teeny tiny pieces grows tiresome quickly.
Yeah, yeah, I heard all this 10 years ago. I imagine you’ll be saying the same thing in 2030 when coal usage will be about 35% of global electricity.
> The problem with renewables is one of space and materials rather than energy production. Nuclear is drastically smaller in terms of the land footprint.

If you can't argue cost, make up some other argument. Land use is generally not an issue for solar or wind, because you can dual use. You can make the calculation that putting solar on roofs and parking lots would be much more area than needed to power the whole of the US.

> Focusing on cost is misleading because the costs are because we haven’t invested in fission in many decades

Actually nuclear has received significantly more subsidies than renewables [1, 2, 3]

> For example, the cost argument would go the other way in the 90s when wind and solar were much more expensive.

Yes and guess what all the nuclear proponents said? Don't invest in renewables. However, there is a fundamental difference wind and solar (solar more so) are on exponential price reduction curves and there is currently no indication it will stop. Nuclear on the other hand is not (prices have actually increased in many places) and there is nothing indicating that this will change.

> Also, solar provide energy when there’s typically peak demand so you can’t really load shift for DAC. Wind you might be able to do that.

How about we first transition to using carbon free energy production first before DAC. It does not make sense to produce energy using fossils (with the inherent efficiency losses) and then use another inherintly inefficient process to capture the carbon. You need much less energy if you move the first process to carbon free.
A death from an epidemic and a death from a terror attack are not equivalent in the threat they pose to a country. Terror attacks can destabilize political systems and damage economies to a far greater extent than the number of dead might suggest.

Seems very quick deprecation? If they urgently need the barcode why support picture stamps without it. If the don't then supporting both for a year will dramatically reduce the amount of swapping they need to do.
If the picture is an actual code used (BTW it's a data matrix, not QR, you can tell by the solid L / dotted L outline): The code has 48x16 pixels. Subtract the outlines (solid) / timers (dotted), that's 44x14 = 616 bits. IIRC error correction takes around 1/4 of that, leaving 462 bits or 57 ASCII characters.

Fraud levels on special stamps are still low. And because lots of people have collections if special stamps and would baulk if they all became unusable. Don't worry, they'll add barcodes on those too when fraud switches to them.

The idea behind compile time evaluation is that expressions which are not syntactically constant expressions can also be evaluated at compile time. A function definition can be marked as being available at compile time. When the body of a function f(x) refers to x, that is not a constant expression syntactically. However, an expression like f(3) can be considered a constant expression, since it passes a constant to function that has been marked as a compile-time function.

How is any of that even helping groups being boosted? If you come from an underprivileged background, why would you want to try to survive on government grants? Pick up whatever pays well with fastest/cheapest education, maybe become an electrician if you are starting out poor, software engineer if you are middle class. Or if women value family and social life over work, why would we want to take that away from them? Whoever wished they worked more on their death bed?

I get it that some people's personal sacrifices can benefit humanity at large, but why are those who are supposedly most downtrodden have to sacrifice more? Helping people pick up a marketable skill is a good thing, and can be done on need and motivation bases rather than scrutinizing one's melanin levels. But pushing people into lower pay jobs than they could do just to feel enlightened is just cruel.
The overlap between early nerd culture and The Grateful Dead was very significant.

Taping and sharing culture and its benefits were very apparent in many net forums.

As were democratisation of the new tools, public terminals with BBS access and the Deadheads community spirit exemplified on Usenet and Arpanet.

Another tip: change the port of your ssh server. This makes connecting a small bit more tedious(create a .ssh/config file on your clients!) But in exchange you gain much less people trying to hack your machine. This should not be your only security measure though, since its still findable for some people willing to put in the effort (or targeted attacks).

I would say there are 4 main motivations to not cheat:

1. Getting caught and problems arising from that

As you stated, there is a non-zero chance that someone who cheated will get away with it. And there is a non-zero chance that someone who didn't cheat will be wrongly widely accused of cheating. But someone who cheats has a much much higher chance of being widely accused of cheating that someone who doesn't. Cheating purely increases your chance of being widely accused of cheating.

You as a single individual cannot know all the various analyses that will be done on your games in the future (whether analysis of your moves vs engine moves or analysis of video or data recordings from websites you're on). You cannot foresee all the different possible ways you might be caught. The better you get, the more analysis will be done on your past games. Every past cheating instance is a liability for the future.

And if you rely on the cheating to get to a high level, you'll be forced to continue doing it to retain that level. You can't foresee the various anti-cheat mechanisms that will be put in place in the future that will catch your future cheating.

Once you're caught, it's basically disaster for you. Even when you don't cheat in the future, people will still suspect that you're cheating.

2. A feeling of accomplishment

People are often motivated by a feeling of accomplishment. If you're cheating to get ahead, you're not accomplishing as much, so you won't have as much of a feeling of accomplishment. If you use a cheat code to beat a videogame you don't feel much accomplishment. You won't feel like the best person in the world at chess if you only won due to a computer feeding you moves.

3. Enjoyment of a better world

You said you'd personally prefer a world without cheating. By not cheating you would be helping create that world. By cheating you would be helping to create a cheatful world. You're going to have a hard time advocating for a cheat-free world if you yourself are cheating due to the conflict of interest. E.g. you won't be able to advocate for installation of anti-cheat protections because if they get installed, they'll catch you. Same with advocating for stronger statistical analyses.

If you cheat, you're disrespecting the people around you, both your competitors and the audience. When you're consistently disrespecting everyone around you, I would expect that to have a negative impact on your ability to make friends with them. It could negatively affect your mood and your outlook on life. Overall I expect your life to be less enjoyable.

4. Morality

Is there objective morality? Do we have a moral obligation to respect other people? What is the meaning of life?

I say yes there is objective morality. Yes we have a moral obligation to respect other people, it's one of the components of the purpose of our lives.

That's for different Python interpreters altogether, you still can't have multiple numpy packages in any one of them.

Arch actually supports multiple Pythons just fine, I currently have a bunch of 3.x Python interpreters I installed from the AUR. But installing other Python packages with these interpreters indeed needs to be done outside the system's package manager, e.g. with pip -U or a venv (usually a venv for me).

Pretty much all intoxicants bar alcohol have been banned until very recently. Alcohol is too inherent to Western cultures, so got a pass. And where weed is legalised, it's still illegal to drive (and presumably operate firearms) while intoxicated.

So, your suggestion has already happened?

Alcohol affected drivers and hunters increase your chances of dying while cycling and hunting, so you thinking this is a non-issue is directly contrary to your own best interests, which is an interesting stance to take.

Let me put it this way - forbidding drunk driving and drunk firearms usage reduces the risk of harm to others. So where's the downside?

Aside from "sitting in a mai-mai (hide) waiting for ducks is cold and boring, so let's get pissed", in which case, get a different hobby.

And "statistical non-issue" is easy to say when the excess deaths are faceless.

NZ saw a significant reduction in "oh shit, I shot my mate" hunting accidents when the hunting culture changed to "save the beers for sitting around the campfire after a day in the bush", but it wasn't an overnight change.

You might want to update your research on the state of play of turbine blade disposal. There are several companies with active recycling programs in place and scaling as we speak that do everything from recycling the blades into perfectly reusable fiberglass and fuel materials to converting them into building materials.

As far as disposal of nuclear waste goes, yeah there's a ton of engineering involved because the stuff is just that big a pain in the ass to deal with for any length of time. Given half-lives typically range between 30 years and 5 times the length of recorded human history and that the rule of thumb for "safe" levels of emission are 7 half-lives we're talking about borderline geologic time frames before certain types of waste meet anyone's definition of safe. We could also spend a moment here reviewing all of the incidents in the last 40 years where source material has managed to jump a fence and ended up crapping up an entire village or neighborhood. All of that is to say that anyone peddling the notion that storage of radioactive waste is a solved problem either has an agenda and no ethics or is grotesquely uninformed.
