The costs of having those tankers parked is orders of magnitude less then the value of their cargo and potential profits.
To be fair, they are also working on the Witcher 4 in Unreal Engine 5.
This is really cool and fun, but is this a safe way to run SSH clients?

If, say, the adblock Chrome extension you're using gets bought by a malware operator and backdoored[0], now it also has SSH and VPN access.

It's the character the article is really about. Much like the
reverence we have for Feynman or Einstein, it's not just the science
they did but the stylish way they did it. The author obviously has a
great fondness.

But there's another message that's strong in there, and it comes from
many sources around Lovelock. It's about how desperately we need more
of Lovelock's breed, and how hostile to it our "prickly" science has
become. The story of Nature rejecting him, not on the merit of his
ideas, but his postal address, is simply embarrassing.

The article bewails the loss of visionaries, iconoclasts, intellectual
courage, scepticism and independence. These are the traits we beat of
children at school, and punish as trouble-making, deviance and
disinformation in our now very rigid society, frightened of
"alternatives".

Spike Milligan was right; Real progress is like an old car. It takes a
crank to get things moving.
>You do realise that money was created to deal with a lack of trust

I disagree. I posit that money was created to establish a fungible, divisble, common store of value for the purpose of facilitating exchange of goods and services of dissimilar value that are not always needed by the counterparty. Without money, the barber would need to pay for his groceries with haircuts. This poses problems if the grocer or farmer does not want or need a haircut. No trust violations needed here - barter is simply more difficult without money, even if there is absolute trust in your counterparty's promise to deliver the goods or services they offer as described.
Is it theft if you've agreed to a contract stating those as penalties?
It's been a couple years since I did mobile dev, but in my experience you don't get to reason much with Apple's reviewers either, but you can change something minor, re-submit, and hope you get a different, better reviewer.
Your thumb and fingers of both hands are equally capable of producing both separating and joining force while closing. You learned to do it one way, by pushing out with your thumb and pulling in with your other fingers, so that way feels better to you, but that's a property of you not a property of scissors.
The GTA remaster issues were hardly due to the engine. People over-focus on the engine. I wouldn't worry about this.
How do you see anything clearly from so far up on your high horse?
Slovakia, we didn't start heating yet, a few years ago that would be unthinkable. Looking at the forecast, we won't be heating for at least another 10 days.
It seems very believable that susceptibility to one conspiracy theory would correlate with susceptibility to other, unrelated conspiracy theories. There has been plenty of research suggesting as much.
Nice find! Most interesting is to see potential in Africa and Asia/Pacific, where there is the greatest need for clean energy as consumption grows as a result of both population growth and industrialization.
Correction, my iPad Pro from 2018 also has USB-C
> maybe US government will leave it high

Although the Fed can backstop commercial paper in emergencies (and they did so at the beginning of the pandemic), it's extremely unlikely that they start taking on enough to move rates in the medium term (like they did with mortgage backed securities). So this is not a rate that the government controls except very indirectly.
It’s because people aren’t aware the 2nd dimension, the looseness of the connection between the planes of the blades, where the screw isn’t (and can never be) perfectly tight yet still allows the blades to slide. It’s hard to get the idea across in text. Your second comment helped a lot.
In my experience Java is used a lot in "the enterprize", and that's the kinda environment which isn't fun to live in. Lots of designs by committee, and lots of boilerplate coding.
USB-C might very well be the last wired connection standard, but I expect a port free iPhone within 10 years that charges via induction and has some way to do some data transfer by that as well.
This should be the top comment. The last commit to the repo was posted 5 years ago, and all development seemed to have stopped on 2018
Sometimes you have to change the code of the privacy policy page, because the AI might have problems parsing it correctly. Here is Luke from LinusTechTips talking about the problems with their Floatplane app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8iy4qYONAc&t=941s

Luckily all of this will be illegal in the EU thanks to the Digital Services Act, developers will have the right to know the exact reason for a rejection, and Google will need to provide real human support.
Citation needed on homes losing 35% of their value. I've paid a lot of attention to predictions on home values and the only people that are predicting drops that big are /r/rebubble and low quality media outlets. I have yet to find a single economist that supports a price drop that large. The biggest I've seen an economist say is a 5% drop.
How does a VM or sandboxing help anything? The whole point of wireguard is to get the (shitty) OS VPN out of the picture entirely.

Give me a stream of bytes and let the whole world see it for all I care--wireguard will build a secure private network entirely on that stream of bytes. It could be totally public coffee shop wifi with zero encryption (basically yelling your passwords and secrets out in the open) and yet wireguard will make it secure and private for me.

So in this case who cares if its a websocket to the browser vs a 'proper' (bloated, shitty) OS VPN. Give me a stream of bytes and I'll build my own secure and trusted network on it thank you very much.
Running over in Rodeo valley (Marin) there was a very noticeable (and unusual) inversion this morning around 7:30 am. It must have been 5-10 degrees colder on the valley floor compared to up higher -- after ~100ft of elevation gain up out of the valley it warmed up very rapidly.

I don't see that reflected in this map at all fwiw.

I'm not sure "laundering reputation" is how I would frame "re-evaluating including potentially objectionable content in a remake".
Depends on the product and the tax.

Looks like I'm paying more via IAP for Youtube ($16 vs $12/mo) and Audible ($16 vs $8/mo ???) according to the prices listed on their website.

Half of the services out there probably charge you extra just because you don't have to go through their scummy "cancel subscription" website pipeline. They probably lose millions on that along with the fact that I get an iOS notification when my IAP subscriptions renew.

One crappy autorenewing service charging my credit card directly has cost me more than IAP taxes ever will. As far as I'm concerned, IAP saves me money and the status quo for rebilling in the USA only benefits the bad actors.

>It's making the assumption that human brains are simply very complex neural nets. Even ignoring religious/spiritual arguments about souls, the simple fact of the matter is that we don't really know a lot about how the human brain/consciousness actually works on a fundamental level (and anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed or lying).

How human brains work is irrelevant, we didn't need to solve the Navier Stokes Equation to build Airplanes and we don't need to solve intelligence either. Consciousness is totally outside the bounds of this discussion and also irrelevant to building an intelligent AI.

Other tips for working with files:

always quote filenames, because you never know if there's a space in them.

filenames with dashes or periods will kill you

prepend current directory file manipulation filenames with "./", because the file might start with a period or dash

Dashes in filenames still might kill you, especially if you pass those to another command
Before the last 12 months, Octopus had an agile price where the price you pay the rate depending on different time of the day. Sometimes this would be high (25p+), sometimes it would only be a couple of pence. Sometimes it was negative.

https://agileprices.co.uk/ shows the price for a given region. For example back on October 1st you'd actually be paid to charge your battery --

Because of the government's meddling in the market it's no longer available for new customers, so if you have the resources or ability to smooth your load, it's meaningless, you can simply claim your massive subsidy from the government and recharge your 80kWh car battery at peak time for 35p // £28, with the taxpayer picking up the extra £52.

But in a free market you'd charge at low demand times (say overnight when you could have been paying 10p/unit) and either use it, or possibly sell it back, at high peak times (that 80p/unit)

(I'm not sure how feed in tarrifs worked with Octopus, but a system which would reduce the load on the grid has been scuppered by the government with the inexplicable energy policy)
What happens if I plug my USB-C iPhone into my 100W USB-C charging cord for my laptop?

What do you want exactly? Make tracking illegal? Make advertising illegal?

The law demands you ask the user for consent, if it made tracking illegal people would complain about their freedom to sell their private data for cat pictures.

There are consequences for GDPR, maybe you did not see any but I can assure you that there were news about fines and you can Google for that.
I can also inform you that at my work place GDPR also had an effect.

What you need is browser makers to get involved and improve the situation, I am sure you would have hated EU to tell you how to implement a ""do not tack" in your browser. The main issue is that Chrome is controlled by Google and they don't want to help with privacy. But who knows maybe your favorite company Apple will push and implement a consent for tracking API .

Btw here in EU GDPR also has effect in real world, just an example before GDPR you would get exam results published publicly with names, now you get a serial number and instead of names the results will ahve this serial number, nobody will know what your results are. Same if you go to a clinic to do a blood tests, they need to give you a paper and specify exactly what they will do with your data.

Big tech is trying to avoid doing the right thing as much as possible but they will pay larger and larger fines until they will have to respect the users.
> woke politics being mainstream

That's not even a requirement here - they just have to continually adjust their principles to be whatever happens to be most fashionable at the moment, just like most everybody else does.
You can always cherry pick sources (especially with google search!). But it is a logical fallacy to discount a serious WSJ or NYT report by quoting some unrelated Gorden Chang or EpochTimes article on the web (for example). That is effectively how the strawman logical fallacy works.

China has gone through stealth recessions before when I was living there (GDP growth on paper, but job growth and other indicators clearly in trouble on the ground). They might be going through one now, I'm not sure, but an official recession and housing bubble burst is really due (the latter being necessary for long term health, and even the former useful for getting rid of a lot of unproductive activities).
It won't be pushed aside. It just won't be adopted for the next project someone works on. When this is done by enough people, great changes can happen quickly
I played the Witcher 1 when it came out and thought it was a brilliant game. I haven't tried going back to it ever. It felt quite polished to me then. I'm curious what people feel isn't approachable for today's audiences. Is is merely that we are used to different visuals now?

What are these engine issues in Witcher 1 you speak of? As a player I did not notice them back in the day.
Ask HN: Thinking about Leaving Gmail
I uninstalled google maps because they deliberately push login so they can legally share location data across properties. (I was there when Eric Schmidt described that strategy so I know it's true) If I really care about privacy I probably need to get rid of gmail. Has anyone gone there? How are the alternatives treating you?
I'm not sure why you think this is true. For month's Powell has been shifting the narrative. First it was under control, then it was a soft landing, now it's going to be a rough landing. What'll it be tomorrow?

I don't think they're being dishonest. I think they're constrained in how forthright they can be, lest they trigger a market reaction.
Oh I was hoping, but it is /s ... Nat says "I lived it" for those who do not click.

Being a part of the solution vs being the person who officially carries the solution across the finish line can be seen differently by observers. I think that's what Nat is oversimplifying.
Not only that, but it is not possible to make a do-everything USB-C cable.
The graphics look plastic. Is it not because of an engine? Serious question.
Three Arrests, Two Superpowers and a Secret Prisoner Swap
This line of thought doesn't stand up to scrutiny when you look at real data. According to the USDA ERS food price outlook reports @ https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/ the 20 year average percent change year on year is something like 2.0% - 2.5%. The change from sept. 2021 to sept 2022 has been 11.2%. The forecasted change in 2022 is approximately 10%. The foretasted change in 2023 is approximately 3.5%. This is dramatically more than just delayed increases from a strange year.
There is a "service chain" crisis sweeping the world.

This week the bus I take in the morning has been canceled because they don't have enough mechanics. At the doctor's office, pharmacy, restaurant, hair salon, etc. things are frequently screwed up. Some businesses are doing OK right now (I went to a wedding at a casino resort and everything spun like a top) but the malaise is moving around and some places bad today will be OK in six months, but maybe a bunch of employees will rage quit the casino and it will be in bad shape.

Worst of all I have had trouble getting through to customer service people at the electric company at all. Because of a long chain of anomalies, I once again was receiving no electric bill. There was a time before when I didn't receive an electric bill and had my service cut off for non-payment so I am naturally sensitive to this. I got put on hold for a total of 3 hours at the electric company before I decided to file a complaint with the public utilities commission.

We are doing work on our rental property (which is on the same lot as our house, which contributes to the electric company, accountant, and many other people misunderstanding my situation) and want to turn off the electric service temporarily so we can do some work around that part of the house. Sure enough, my handyman calls on the phone and he gets put on hold indefinitely so we've deferred some of the work -- it either won't get done or it will get done at some time when it's less efficient for us.

Some firms are doing OK though. I had trouble with my phone line and Frontier had somebody fix it the next business day and the experience was 100% great from end to end except for the fact that my phone line failed.

Related to that post I'd say businesses would need to invest in technology, process and people to build the capacity to support customers but they aren't inclined to do that when the economy looks uncertain.

That is _not_ exactly what you are talking about: food prices do not normally go up 24% a year. Rent prices do not normally go up 10-15% a year.

If their number is cherry-picked, give a real number yourself. Anecdotally, my grocery bills are easily 30%+ from what they were last year, and the same is true for many people I've asked.

I think there are signs that the economy is balakanizing, and that is not a good thing. We see the same thing near us: construction and landscaping are booming.

In some other places, I hear that there is no work in that profession. The same appears to be happening to companies, with Facebook down 20% today while oil companies see no signs of recession.
Just talking about the US here, but what about our current identification systems are so deficient that we need this?
yeah the nasty thing is the private company loophole works. like the TSA puts in these stupid ass measures everybody hates then is like "oh well you can get clear if you don't like it!"

it's supposed to be illegal for the feds to use private companies to do what they can't but for some reason this hasn't gotten killed in court. literally the agency shouldn't exist nor should airport security like it does now.
Those websites are creating something for you, and you are complaining that they are trying to get paid for their work? Don't browse websites with ads then.

Attention is not something you actively control, its a very complex issue between your subconscious and conscious. That is a much bigger discussion.

They are opaque. For a given use case you need to know which USB-C cable you need, and they all look just alike, but can have varying capabilities. You can't even make a do-everything cable, either.
One time a project I was on got booted from Google Play. Then we did an appeal, they would let us back in! Yay! And we'd have to pre-appeal our next try.

But, we could not use the same Name or Namespace (com.company.project) because those were locked. They are keeping the blocked in, with notes.

Our fix was to refactor the namespace in the code, change product & company name. Jk, we just abandoned Google Play, wasn't worth it.
Legally, no, which is why I don't use PayPal and never will again, but to the layperson, who almost invariably does not read those contracts, and might be incapable of understanding the contract even if they chose to read it, I suspect it would look, sound, and feel a lot like theft.

But again, that's the beauty of Bitcoin. There is no dense legalese with sneaky technicalities that allow other parties to seize your funds over the contents of your speech, so long as you self-custody and adequately protect your keys. I understand that's also not something all laypeople can be expected to do, but I prefer to have the option than to not have the option.
Users flagged it. We can only guess why users flag things. Maybe they thought it was offtopic, or that the terms were obvious? not sure. I've unflagged it now.

When editing the launch blurbs, I usually tell founders to add explanations of any concepts or jargon that HN readers might not be familiar with. It's not always easy to know where to draw that line.

> If you have a sensible set of statistics that you believe justify surrender of personal sovereignty of identity to this degree, I would invite you to ponder a set of statistics that you would think completely monstrous, but still arguable, toward such a surrender. There is someone out there who believes the opposite to you, and if you think the creation of a power that benefits your opinions should take place, know that it could be used by this hypothetical person to benefit his opinions.

Your “personal sovereignty” argument is equally applicable to a sociopath who wants to maim and kill at will.

Because that’s what Plague Rats are: sociopaths that care only for their own “rights”, and are more than eager to let everyone around them die in order to avoid a trivial imposition that would significantly improve safety.

If you cannot do your duty of care to that community, find a different community to be in, then. Because you have demonstrated you don’t give a single shite about anyone but yourself.

I think one factor the article doesn't mention is how alternative opportunities change at oil companies depending on the oil price. When oil is at $30/bbl, having a job at a big, boring, stable company like Exxon is very attractive. No one else in the industry is hiring, small companies are going under, there is motivation to keep your head down and ride it out.

When oil goes to $100 a barrel, there is a sudden explosion of opportunities for people with the right education and experience at a company like Exxon. They're looking at all these alternative things they could be doing for similar or better pay and start thinking about all the things that have annoyed them at the company.

In other words, maybe Exxon has an unusually stuffy or toxic environment for the industry, but I think a bigger factor might be that Chris Rock line "Men are as faithful as their options." Workers are as loyal to their employers as their options.
