I lost about $700 due to the Jones Act.

What happened was that my friend had booked a cruise for us, that sailed out of Orlando. But I couldn't join them in Orlando. "No worries," I thought, "I'll just meet up with the ship at the very next stop" -- which I did, I took an uber there. We had done the same with MSC cruises in the Mediterranean -- missing the ship in Rome and taking a train up to meet it in Civitavecchia.

Well, as I got on the ship, they said I owe $700 or so. I was really wondering why! Turns out that unless the ship drops off the passenger at the exact same US port as they picked them up, it is considered that the ship is "transporting cargo" and therefore has to pay taxes.

I asked whether I could be dropped off at the port I got on: no.

I asked whether I could get off in the Bahamas and fly back: no. (Well, yes but I'd still owe the money).

So, I had to pay. The ship otherwise risked getting fined for not paying its tax.
People disagree vigorously and completely about what counts as true or false. That's how divisive topics work. The more strongly people disagree, the more easily they convince themselves that the others are arguing in bad faith. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't (in my experience, internet users vastly overestimate it), but either way the only thing that can possibly work in the long run is to counter bad information with good information, bad arguments with good arguments, false claims with true claims. Users are responsible for doing that. Moderators are responsible for making sure they do it within the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Breaking the site guidelines doesn't help counter falsehood—in fact it just discredits the commenter who's doing it, which means discrediting the truth in the case they happen to be right (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). So there's no conflict here. If your concern is helping the truth, it's in your interest to follow the rules.
Of course what you describe is the main way people navigate by the sun, when the margin of error is bearable. In more extreme situations where precision is needed, decimating the margin of error is pretty important, especially when used in conjunction with a map or known landmarks.
Rate-limit the GeoIP list for the affected areas to drop if more than 20% of active traffic. i.e. the service outages get co-located only with the problem users areas.

Also, when doing auto-updates: always add a chaotic delay offset 1 to 180 minutes to distribute the traffic loads. Even in an office with 16 hosts or more this is recommended practice to prevent cheap routers hitting limits. Another interesting trend, is magnet/torrent being used for cryptographic-signed commercial package file distribution.

Free API keys are sometimes a necessary evil... as sometimes service abuse is not accidental.

This seems to be the approach that Android takes. If you try to connect to a WiFi network and it fails, it just gives up. It won't tell you why it failed. This makes it very frustrating to figure out what's wrong. Maybe I wouldn't understand the error message, but at least it would provide a starting place for me to look up more information or ask for help from someone knowledgable.
Interesting:

“The WireGuard private key is stored in the memory of the Pritunl client background service and also in the WireGuard configuration file. WireGuard uses a connection-less design and this private key could be used by an attacker to hijack the connection even if multi-factor authentication is used. In high security environments it is important to consider that OpenVPN connections with multi-factor authentication will not have these weaknesses. For this reason the server will quickly revoke WireGuard keys of inactive clients to limit the possibility of this occurring”

Does anyone know how others like Tailscale address this issue?
Well, if we're in the business of stating "historical facts", I think it's more accurate to state that the traditional role of women was to care for the kids while the father worked.

That is, I wouldn't give too much credence to these kinds of "historical facts" on "traditional roles".
> But this has not led to any discussions on how we can actually improve the commute, improve housing policy so people can live closer to work, etc.

Letting most office workers not commute is the fastest way to improve the commute of those who must.

Letting most office workers not live next to their company's headquarters is the fastest way to free up housing space near company headquarters.

Making marginal improvements to the commute of 100% of workers pales in comparison to ending commutes altogether for 20% of workers. It doesn't matter if a lot of people still have to go to work, the ecological and economic benefits of getting that many people off the roads are massive, especially for those who still have to drive to work.
That was the first thing I checked when I investigated this feature on my phone. Annoyingly it is an "AI driven smart feature" that is not adjustable. I would love it if it charged to 75% right away and then waited till the morning to finish.
I'll have a huge impact on anything making legitimate use of the list. Adblockers on sensible browsers will stop working etc.

It may be easy, and it may even be the only option, but it's a bad one that will need some thought from the maintainers I expect.
> I'll move mountains to help someone that comes to me after having done some basic homework to try to fix (or at least triage) an issue. It very rare though.

These are rare, but they also tend to be the really effective ones. We have a couple of teams who understand the stack, read documentation and read error messages. We generally don't hear of them for months and months, because they are too busy being productive.

But when we hear of them, it's usually time to push boundaries of the infrastructure and the processes. They tried everything and nothing worked and now it's time to make it work.
This is a good way to get a general idea, but unless your local solar noon happens to coincide with noon on your watch, it's going to be off. For instance, solar noon at my current location is around 2:00 pm.

As long as the sun is out, it's a good way to stay oriented and keep to a general heading. It works well when combined with local features and topography. So you can say something like "I'll keep heading more or less south until I see the river, then I know I can follow it upstream to the bridge and intersect the road back to my car."
The direct sum of an indexed family is not a function of two variables, so it is meaningless to talk about its commutativity.
Western forests burn and regrow regularly... so much so that some species of plants rely on or optimize for the fire cycle. Things like having seeds that only open after a fire, fire-resistant bark, and so on.

Unless we pave over the locations the carbon released by the fires will be re-captured when those areas re-grow. It is nothing like digging up buried carbon and spewing it into the air.
Consulting for a bank some years ago, I found a gate that routinely cost three weeks in time, and no-one could think of a single instance of it resulting in any feedback that made any material impact whatsoever. To their credit it was removed right away, but it’s funny that no-one thought to do it previously.
I love coding on my tablet via codespaces.

It's perfect for pre bed time when I'm more interested in learning software than implementing features.

The experience isn't perfect because vs code was never meant to be a mobile editor but for writing few locs and trying stuff is okay.
because nobody wants to invest so much time to join your cheesy fantasyland? whining about downvotes wont save you
Wind power is available at night.

I think you are misunderstanding curtailments. It's when renewables are producing more power than what is needed and they are shut off or throttled. For the power producers getting 4 cents is better than getting 0 cents. Everyone involved in the transaction is better off. Customers get cheap power to charge their cars, and power producers get to sell energy that they otherwise couldn't. No one is subsidizing anything, the system is just more efficient.
Where did you get that they were irreversibly banned? Or banned at all for that matter?
There is no comparison between murder and a buttock.
But why bother with deny? Just send a blank text file (or one with as minimal data as needed to satisfy the rogue adblock) to the "blocked IPs" to mitigate the traffic for now. If firewall access exists, just drop the offending incoming traffic entirely.
> What's next? Cold and rainy England is expected to have the climate of Spain by 2050. Nothing native in England can adapt to that. So much of the world is going through rapid climate shifts that are devastating ecosystems. We're on the verge of flipping to a hot house earth and we're doing less than the bare minimum to stop it

Alternatively, the Gulf Stream could collapse leading to a massive drop in temperatures over Europe, which would collapse their agriculture faster than the current warming trends.
To say one considers something is very cheap to say. “I’ve considered backpacking for a year” doesn’t mean I’ll actually ever do it. How many Americans have actually started a second job?
> I expect any sort of abuse report to Microsoft wouldn't result in any action on their part, just as reporting these messages as spam for about a month did nothing on the Gmail side.

False positives are similarly annoying. I spent years reporting emails from Kijiji (while they were an eBay subsidiary) to gmail as "not spam". Set up a rule to redirect them from the spam folder to inbox, but they still get tagged as spam when I open them.
What are you talking about? "Low to mid income" people also sleep at some time during the night or day.
My argument for females to have a year off to take care of newborns (or so) was biologically based, focused on the interaction between natural selection and psychological developmental trajectories. I haven't seen any research on the history of natural selection across multiple people groups / genetic lineages that suggests the equivalent selection pressures have existed in the past for males.

One might insist on equivalent policies for the biological sexes on ideological grounds, e.g., men's rights, which is perfectly fine. However, from a logical perspective, arguing for males to have time off for the first year is jointly dependent on the biological argument (which applies to females) AND the ideological argument. Alternatively, from an empirical perspective, the research around males may exist and I am simply not aware of it.
This is going to be simply great for students. I bet Replit will get a huge boost in usage. Well done.

This doesn't sound right to me. Cloudflare also protects web APIs. This text file is an extremely simple web API, but it is still a web API.
Compare it to the parent article and you'll see what I mean. If you are the center of the watch and you put your hand in your shadow, it will face the direction opposite of the hour hand in the article. If you adjust your other hand to face 12 O'clock relative to that hand, it would be at 6 O'clock if you're going by the article. So the direction is flipped. When you clap your hands together, you'll be facing North instead of South.
And how is repl.it different here compared to GitHub codespaces, codepens, codesandbox and many others?
100TB of Access Denied is only 38 MB/s, so not even a minor DDOS these days.
Same here & concur. Even the AT commands weren't typically called "AT protocol".

It's even more valuable for people to be challenged, & upgrade their skill, at context-based disambiguation than to further ossify short names. The preeminence of the `@` symbol in social-network addressing – from email through Twitter & everywhere – also makes this a well-chosen name.

It has to be cheaper than human drivers and compete with other self driving offerings. That said this is definitely a difficult market to break into (at least for now). At the same time, an open source model isn't completely out of the question. Datasets of specific cities can be built pretty easily these days (even if expensive). If that ever happens, self driving will have no added cost.

Ask HN: Do you wear any rings while you type?
I've found a ring on my finger tends to interfere with typing, and it can hit the keyboard or notebook housing, potentially scraping things.

Curious if this is an issue for anyone else, or how you've addressed it.
We were on Netifly way back then. So, no L3 blocks. Now on pages.dev and workers.dev, but haven't needed to enforce any rules yet.
I don't agree. I think IF UK says they want to get back into EU they'll say YES almost instantly. (ok, maybe a covenant or two... Like UK having to accept the euro, for example).

But, from my POV, UK is just too desirable and powerful.

(I don't belong to UK, by the way)
Last time I tried pointing out objective truth about the conflict and point to UN observers (OSCE) data on the the continuous bombing of Donbass in the past 8 years (14k civillians killed according to western numbers, I don't even know the Russian ones), I was promptly shadowbanned as was every other comment not strictly critical of Russia. People thinking this attack was unprovoked, should check trusted sources(UN observers, non-profits) and immediately stop relying on social media as their information source. Unfortunately that means HN too for everything political.

As a person who studied propaganda as part of my communicology education I have to point out the role social media plays in the current conflict:
- social media moderators are the new gatekeepers of information

- most social media moderators are working for free - they are working for the gratification

- they restrict information according to their own personal biases. They are not the kind of people that check the of information presented. They would rarely go against the will of the community

- the resulting effect is an echo chamber in which everyone is in virtual agreement over important issues. This forces most people to rethink their positions or face being ostracized

- people that persist, will get continuously silenced until they leave the community

- since this is also happening to this forum, expect a drop in comment quality, because many posters are leaving as they are dissuaded from participating in the community

In this thread we're talking about the upswing of the Ukranian economy, right after having a big chunk of their infrastructure destroyed in the past few days of bombing. So in case you're wondering how it's possible people believe such nonsense, this is your explanation. They either don't and leave, or for the sake of inclusion in the community, change their views to whatever is being displayed as the overwhelmingly supported position.

There is only a slim chance this post won't be removed after minutes and I will probably leave after that.
Birth of the first (and only first) child triggers what might be the largest brain rewiring in males since pubety. Women don't seem to undergo a rewiring of the same scale [1].

To me, this makes sense, given how unusual the new skillset has to be compared to pre-fatherhood life (manipulations with the newborn, deciphering needs, new attetion patterns etc.).

> If it were "one year and one day" you'd have the same exact problem.

No, it would not, at all. Think of it like this: if I ask you to put something on your calendar one year from now, what kind of calendar event would it be? It would probably be an "all day event" and you wouldn't even to think to ask "what time?"

> Revocation and expiration are virtually the same thing.

Revocation is an intentional act done by humans. Expiration happens simply by the passage of time in relation to the movement of Earth around the sun.
This is what I was wondering. I'm taking a wild guess that maybe they don't have that level of firewall access and it was being done through filtering by the webserver to provide an access denied.
It took 400 million years for fungus to figure out how to digest wood. Those plants are what we are burning at probably 100's of thousands of years per year at this point.
It's no more legacy than FM Radio. Been around since the 30s, is undeniably ancient, but it's not legacy. SMS is not going anywhere in many parts of the world, it's actively supported and actively used.
I wouldn't say I'm addicted, I can manage okay on flights as it is with TV shows/movies/video games/books that I download ahead of time onto various devices. Especially the Switch is very nice, and of course the Steam Deck is probably great for this.

But yeah having internet would be even better.
I wonder what would happen if they renamed the file to robots.txt and then did a redirect at the cloudflare level for the current URL to robots.txt.

I imagine some (many?) clients would handle it poorly, but it would then be cachable at least. It's not exactly easy to test though without a level of unknown damage to legitimate users.
Besides software changes, I'd look at the hardware.

The newer iPhones are all too big for many peoples' hands. I thought that the iPhone 4S size was just about perfection: it felt like I could easily reach every single spot on the screen while holding the device with one hand and not straining. Everything since then has felt much harder to comfortably type and control while using.

And unfortunately, I think it might be very easy for the market to misread the sales data and think that many customers continuously want bigger and bigger screens. If the only size options available are all too big, then it makes some sense to just optimize for a better gaming/movie experience if the typing experience is going to suck no matter what so many people might just end up buying the biggest phones even though they want a much smaller one.

Give me an iPhone 4S sized iPhone with a modern camera, processor, and screen, and I'd be perfectly happy with that experience.
BEV is limited by availability of raw materials. Copper, Lithium. It is actually predicted that there will be shortage of batteries for following decade, thanks to lack of available lithium and subsequent processing capacities and shortage of copper thanks to fact that we already maxed out output of current copper mines.

So there is no reason for BEV to be cheaper, more less it will keep being expensive or will get even more expensive than it is today.
You can just copy and paste code without checking the license. People do it all the time.

GitHub doesn’t force you to accept the license in the repository before showing you the code.
This is the correct answer, and basically you have to setup round-robin DDOS protection that provides these "wrong" answers.

People also need to be asking themselves 'who opposes new builds, and where do their political donations go.' Property owners as an economic bloc are not passive political price takers, they lobby for their own interests and tend to be much more organized than tenants.
You probably know more about Eisenhower than I do - perhaps you grew up in the US and know its history well.

Can you tell me why this isn't surprising? What about Eisenhower and his vetoing bills in great numbers?

Do you have a source for that? The article only mentions them being throttled + the screenshot with the support engineer saying they seem to be breaking the ToS and asking them politely to move back into compliance.

If you're interested in the Higgs mechanism as a layman, I highly highly recommend this talk by Leonard Susskind:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqNg819PiZY

It's about 1 hour long (plus some questions) and it goes through some basic ideas of what it means for something to have mass and all the way to the Higgs mechanism.
That's 2 trillion requests a month, or 780,000 requests/second. That would be just a little shy of 1% of all of akamai's rps traffic. mind-boggling
The article addresses this:

> Over the long to very long term, regrowth of vegetation in burned areas could alleviate some of the emissions, but will not occur quickly enough to avert highly dangerous levels of increased pollutions, temperatures, and climate change, the researchers said.

Note the use of the word "could". There is much less water in these areas than there was before (due to climate change).

It is extremely unlikely these forests will regrow any time soon.
I think you are trying to fit the narrative to your own bias and experience. Tolstoy thought the opposite, to offer a countervailing outlook.
> I cannot now help seeing day and night going round and bringing me to death. That is all I see, for that alone is true. All else is false. The two drops of honey which diverted my eyes from the cruel truth longer than the rest: my love of family, and of writing -- art as I called it -- were no longer sweet to me.

Now, as to how he dealt with this angst, that's a story for another time
It makes sense that pirates like Blackbeard dominate our view of pirates and probably distort it significantly. They were intentionally going for shock value and it obviously worked.

Much like dinosaurs and knights, this brand of pirates is very appealing to kids, so we're kind of stuck with them.
