>McGrath said in the territory he serves in Texas he’s received a number of requests from parents looking for a completely different connection for their children.

Or just get a modem with parental control? Considering that he used that as an example of how WISPs can stay relevant even with more fiber... I'm not convinced.

Also, I always imagined WISPs to be very local and only for very remote communities. But they mentionned some providers having up to hundreds of thousands of clients in a single state. How bad does the service get at that point?
Even wired docsis 3.1 can be pretty horrible in terms of reliability, latency, congestion, etc so I'd guess the congestion issue is even worse for wireless internet?
Probably. It’s way handier if the keylogger is embedded into the cable from your usb-x monitor right when you open the fresh package.

But budget limited ingenuity is fun too!
Space nerds are running down the street with pitchforks and torches on the way to this guy's house right now (or were in 2008 I'm sure).

But he's not wrong.
> Yeah you’re not wrong. But I wouldn’t consider that 100ms, or even 500ms, “expensive”.

100ms is noticeable, 500ms is bad.

The old dial up BBSs may have been slow enough that you could watch character appear, but they were responsive! Those characters started printing right after your keypress happened. Of course it helped that it was likely a local phone call.

I imagine HN ever had a 500ms response rate, the engineers behind it would consider it a failure!

(Even reddit is under 500ms for many operations, and it is super heavyweight)

> I think it mainly depended on whether the sites rendered HTML on the fly (with like maybe Perl? to render database content) or... just served static HTML.

Yeah Perl didn't help the 90s web at all. It made stuff possible, but wow, the performance was bad.

Then again web server software design back then was also a long ways away from what we know to do now.
Overall you gained nothing though.

I'm imagining an angled flap, to brush things out of the path of the tire.

I also imagine that any idea I could possibly have has been researched and discarded by an expert in the industry.
That is considerably different from blacklisting an entire company.

That's just Ponzi wrapped in Ponzi, innit?

These archaeologists are doing great work, and so my remark was kind of a cheap shot and an over-simplification.

But the point still stands.
I'm interested in the algorithm for that, but it looks like for PolyTune, they just say "patented 'MonyPoly' algorithm."

So that's out. I wonder what other research has been done into detecting multiple notes at once?
Nice work, going to put this to use tonight!

P.S.: you've got a customer if you plan to port this to iOS.
I'm wondering why the USA hasn't used its military muscle to force regime change in Saudi Arabia. They have valuable resources, and I don't think any major country would stand in the USA's way.

The people already live under a brutal repressive dictatorship. Why not replace it with something more tolerable?

My best guess is that doing so would dramatically increase terrorism in the region.

Venezuela would be another area in need of intervention, IMO.

Update: I'm as anti-war as it gets, but consider: when is there a moral imperative to act? If you could stop the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, should you? If you can stop your neighbor from going on a murdering spree, should you?
You want to (I do too!) , but the abstraction eventually leaks (you get unexpected behavior in long running processes because of gc/libc/kernel issues, or you need very specific control performance wise, etc) , and you end up having to know about it.
I've been using Shiori for some time. It is built in Go and open source.
And all of it is optional. You can do all operations (readinig, posting, commenting, voting, flagging) with JS disabled, you just get page loads rather than dynamic updates.
“Test account for HN” registers an account with an email I’ll purge later, so people don’t need to give me their email address if they don’t want to.

1) I think the biggest difference is that Pocket (and some other competitors) try to keep you inside pocket. You can get to the original URL of something in your list, but it takes an extra step each time. Linkidex doesn’t try to keep you inside Linkidex, we just try to help you find the thing you are looking for as quickly as possible so you can move on.

2) Yep! Our roadmap includes browser extensions and native phone applications.
Interview 100 people and ask them if they've ever used cash. There is no "universal human truth" that you should be able to regret a transaction months later.

Crypto works the same way, except it's new and people aren't educated about it, so the space is filled with grifters and con artists.
Cost vs privacy / alone time.

Roommate in each state allows more spreading of the cost, but it's more likely that you and one of the roommates are in the home at the same time. Presumably each of those roommates would be treating each home as their primary residence.

With the originally proposed setup, there's a fair chance that you are in SF while the sole "roommate" is in NYC and vice versa.
I had never heard of this concept before seeing this article. Great to hear it's in Germany also! Would you know if there is a list of co-ops in Germany somewhere, to see if there is one closer to me than Karlsruhe?
> so you call your congressman and tell them you don't like SA and that we should... do what?

Unless you know the policy space, expressing a broad position is enough. If you know something about the policy space, e.g. see the Politico article in my last comment, you can specify bills. But that’s complicated and prone to misinterpretation and generally only productive when coördinated.

Oil demand is elastic [1]. Its supply is manipulated. A barrel of oil not consumed by you reduces marginal prices and cracking spreads. That, in turn, spurs demand. For Riyadh, it would take a massive amount of demand destruction to him up their revenues given their influence over OPEC.

"Craziest" is not really an appropriate word for this case. Awful, or shameful, or disgraceful are some more accurate words. Or insane if you want to emphasize the psychotic aspect.

Why would the USA care? They get everything they want from Saudi, with some bad press as the only downside.

You don't actually think regime change is ever about how repressive the government is.
With enough duct tape anything is possible.
In creative fields - it's hard to define, but engineering is not exactly an open ended profession. We as programmers have a clear objective to get to. The ways of getting there are different, but it's akin to asking a portrait painter to paint a portrait - the result isn't a novel impressionist painting.
I've been using a modified version of lsteins fork since almost the beginning. Recommended! It does lack some of the features of eg automatic1111, but it has good cli, and actually has a license, which is pretty important (as novelai has learned).
The Grand Budapest Hotel was also one of Wes Anderson's strongest collaborations at the story level. Hugo Guinness was awarded a story credit for it and the framing of the film acts like it is an adaptation of a book by Hugo Guinness (that at least so far, has not been published as such). Grand Budapest leaves me wondering how much Wes Anderson would serve to benefit from more collaborators at the story level and larger writer rooms rather than soloing most of it. The French Dispatch being about that but written solo, seemed ironic in a bad way to me.

But of course, it could just be that Wes Anderson's writing doesn't speak to me as it does to some. I think Life Aquatic is often under-rated as a capture of what I find to be the more fun parts of Anderson's voice and Rushmore quite often over-rated. (I've just never liked Rushmore. It has never worked for me.)
Impossible? No it's not.

Monero does it and to an extent shielded transactions in zcash too.
It wouldn't be the first linear city. The idea was popular in the early 20th century for industrial settlements. Magnitogorsk was orginally planned as such. None of the planned linear cities have stayed linear, to my knowledge. It only makes sense for when the whole point of living there is to operate a massive production line.
It's really silly to assume that everyone who disagrees with you is just suckling from "the mainstream media" while you are blessed with the special information sources that provide you The Truth. Who said I'm giving the media any credibility?

This is a non sequitur so I don't really know what to say here. Try re-reading what I had said.

> Amazing how you contort...

Well it wasn't the highest levels lol. It was a few rungs down from the highest level, and the highest level then held that lower level responsible for its misbehavior. That's exactly what you'd expect to see from an institution holding itself to a high bar.
'Insula' is literally the Latin word for 'island'.

> An experimental cooling technique developed by Nasa engineers for use on the International Space Station has been adapted [by a team from Purdue University in the US, sponsored by Nasa’s Biological and Physical Sciences Division] for electric cars to massively reduce the time it takes to charge their batteries [...] The heat generated from charging powerful lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles means that chargers are currently limited to around 30 amperes for at-home chargers, and up to 350 amperes for “fast charging” stations [...] The new technique, known as “subcooled flow boiling”, is capable of delivering 4.6 times the current of the fastest available electric car chargers on the market, which would allow charge times of less than five minutes

To achieve the milestone, the researchers at Purdue University developed a prototype charging cable which could provide 2,400 amperes of charge.

--

Seems "doable", just not "around the corner". I do not know (my preparation is rusty in the area) if infrastructurally that amperage is not a problem, but special equipment is needed and costs should be understood.
Sure but that's just more of an argument that an "everything app" hasn't succeeded even in China.
> It's pretty hard to game economic measurements as a whole.

Two immediate examples:

"Toyota Motor Corporation is warning that customers' personal information may have been exposed after an access key was publicly available on GitHub for almost five years."

"On September 17, 2022, the database's keys were changed, purging all potential access from unauthorized third parties...The announcement explains that customer names, credit card data, and phone numbers have not been compromised as they weren't stored in the exposed database."

Oh good, glad all the keys were changed and now the folks who had access for 5 years finally don't. Phew.

When are these companies going to realize we don't give a shit if phone numbers and credit cards are leaked - numbers can be changed and purchases can be rolled back.

The exposure of 5 years of behavioral data on almost 300K people is the threat. Behavior dictates economics, politics, and everything in between. Behavioral data is what real manipulative models are built around.
Yes, progress is under way! It's been a few years since I tried to plumb these depths, it's probably time to look again. But I don't need to look to know that we're not there, where "there" means both accessible and widely adopted.
Why would the US destroy one of its two major allies in the area and the very source of petrodollars?

The US does regime change only against countries that resist exploitation. The rhetoric about human rights or dictatorship is just that.
this is actually mentioned in the article, by one of the quoted people.

It works out because of loose coupling + many contributors. People will work on the web browser and others will work on the main OS, and there aren’t too many conflicts or places where each team has to coordinate.

It also works because making a basic OS or web browser or programming language is not hard, 90% of the work goes into the final 10% of perfection. You can a) make minor improvements to the base OS, or b) create an entirely new program and a burst of seemingly-rapid development; SerenityOS is a passion project, so many people choose b.

Furthermore, many of the people working on the OS are still doing so, and some of the people working on the web browser may not have joined without it. So maybe it’s slowing down progress on the main OS but not by too much, the main OS is still improving.

Honestly I kind of predict people will start to branch off and work on a Serenity office, and Serenity painter and Serenity DAW and Serenity calendar and Serenity game engine. This is basically what KDE has done.

Such abuse PHP could handle back then.
It’s possible for people to be “lovely” but also the reason for why the country is in bad shape. I’m Bangladeshi, and folks there are very kind. My dad has stories of traveling through rural parts of the country and a villager walking miles out of his way to make sure he got back to his car without getting lost.

But they’re also a big part of the reason why things are the way they are. From the tolerance of corruption, to the lack of organization. You can say the exact same things about parts of the US that other parts of the US would regard as “shit holes” (rural Georgia or Mississippi). People are very nice! But that’s not sufficient for a developed civilization.

I think I've seen Mr. ACX say that this is wrong and the right way to do it is to be utilitarian, but just don't try very hard to calculate it ie don't be rational or maximize it.

This is probably correct; if you maximize anything hard enough you'll end up in a logic trap, turn the world into paperclips, and get eaten by a utility monster[0]. That's because rationality doesn't actually work in the real world[1]. Of course, "just don't try hard" isn't going to work for everyone.

I think if you do try to rationalize "utilitarianism but not calculating too hard", you end up at virtue ethics, but ironically I haven't thought about that hard enough to say.

I think it extends to all D2C CPG, even ones that appear to have sourcing front of mind, or at least claim to. Branding, design, and marketing can come together to make it very difficult for even a discerning consumer to tell the difference between what is effectively a generic white label and a thoughtfully-sourced product. There was a good discussion about this on HN in re: headphones recently but it applies to just about everything in the world of manufactured consumer goods.
Did it even achieve that?

People do make choices to support companies that hold their values, sometimes at a personal cost. You may pay more for an item made under ethical practices with respect to people, animals, or the environment. You may even simply choose it because you like their attitude.

The Penzey's spice company, for example, does quite well despite deliberately excluding anyone who would be offended by their motto "season liberally". (The double entendre is deliberate.) But they also make a very good product.

So... Did these guys even achieve a conservative political end? Or were they simply hoping to get customers by pandering and deliver subpar service?
Please note that Bernanke was awarded for his earlier research, and "definitely not for his work at the central bank"

(actual quote from the TV interview)
In the preamble, they discuss that topic in depth.

For brief example,

“The Code is not a simple ethical algorithm that generates ethical decisions.”

and

“In some situations standards may be in tension with each other or with standards from other sources. These situations require the software engineer to use ethical judgment to act in a manner which is most consistent with the spirit of the Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, given the circumstances.”

That makes sense, thanks for explaining it. Got on the phone with support and they've been receptive and are escalating it.
Without context you can assume it is. But you can’t know, which is my point.
Absolutely. Elimination of voter rights laws, gerrymandering, rejection of election results, advocacy of violence, tacit support for hate groups, support of authoritarian leaders etc. is happening at a large scale and is devolving quickly.

I don’t think you have the nuance to understand what I’m trying to say. Yes, some heroin addicts may be on the street but they still have a desire to live and get their next hit. It’s not about “hitting rock bottom”, it’s about being able to find a quick and dirty purpose when you wake up everyday.

> I'd rather trust just Apple on kernel-space (which I have to anyway, as they make the kernel), than Apple + any random third party software that wants to run as a kernel extension.

Which is all ok till you consider that experienced developers that make good system software can offer better software than Apple, which often may have no incentive to support softwares that isn't aligned with their business interest. Application firewalls is an example, because they can also prevent Apple software and services from data-mining a users personal data. (You may trust the Apple codebase on which all Application firewalls on macOS are forced to run, but what if I don't and want alternative? And if you say, "Then don't use macOS", note that's a very anti-consumer view and is toss to everyone's consumer rights). Virtualisation is another example where non-Apple options can be better than Apple's as Apple would prefer that you do everything on their OS than use alternate ones. Or when you don't want to use Apple software because of the terms you have to accept to use it.
> Think about say, ordering food by searching by hand for every business within a given radius around you, going to their own website, looking at the offering, and entering your details. And then doing it differently the next time when you feel like eating something else.

This is exactly what I do, and it's completely fine. My desktop web browser can even save my credit card details (but I have mine memorized so I don't do that) and does save my address to make it just as easy as GrubHub or whatever. Three different restaurants have thanked me for using their website rather than the other services that they go through because it's cheaper to them.
No disagreement that forcing everyone into one closed commercially owned ecosystem would be a very bad thing. But I do wish there were more open standards that allowed universal methods of securely conveying information to and engaging in transactions with other specific people - email is really the only such standard currently and it's obviously not fit for purpose (certainly not on the "securely" part). It would still leave room for competition/choice between actual apps or service providers used, even if it's true the browser market is effectively a duopoly now.
Orienteering implies there's already a cartographer who made a map for you.
Sounds like normal day in Belarus or other less democratic country. I really don’t understand why these people choose death over other alternatives. It’s not that they didn’t know what is awaiting them. Killing some protesters is absolutely normal is less democratic country.
