Nice recommendation. An example I found is barebones N5105 system with 4x 2.5 Gbe for ~$163 shipped. [1] I could source 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 SO-DIMM (using dual-channel is important) and 512GB M.2 NVMe for about $100 additional.

Hey folks, I am one of the founders behind this project, happy to answer any questions you might have about it.
We have an initial release out since earlier today: https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh/releases/tag/v0.1.0 but we are still very early, so be gentle :)

Like I said, I dont like Trump, but didn't and dont read it that way.

I think it is absolutely a situation where peoples priors are feeding into the conclusions they come to.

What you obviously read as ginning up a violent capital mob, someone else can read as encouraging peaceful protest.

Trump was so divisive and loaded that some people come to conclusions completely independent of his actions statements. When he said the quote below [1], some people argued that he was encouraging violence, and it should be read with some kind of reverse meaning. My point is not to debate the actual intent, but illustrate that once you reach this level of interpretation and distrust, there is really no rational common ground for debate or analysis. Anyone can claim anything and there is no substance.

"I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!"

Yes, this is what I described in point 2. Again, I'm not saying it isn't a real thing. At the same time, I wouldn't call it the norm either.

That is not unique to HN. That is all social media.
California, in particular, has a century of experience with alpine reservoirs, penstocks, and kinetic water wheel generation; and have recently retrofitted pumping.

A century ago they built earthen dams up there using earth-moving equipment with parts operated by cables on pulleys, because hydraulics were not mature. The roads are still used today, mainly for recreation, and are execrable, but sufficed.
When you say something like this to a friend, you're giving them power and control over you because if they decide to make you a criminal, they can.

That's not what trust is supposed to mean between friends.

If someone stabs a friend they can't claim that since it's between friends, it's ok.

This is how you know laws such as what you're discussing are ridiculous.

Does it make you an asshole to crack a rude gay joke in front of someone who is gay? yes. Should it be criminal? absolutely not.
In Rand Paul's case it was just a conflict with his neighbour over leaves in the garden or some such incredibly stupid thing like that, right? I don't believe there was a political motive behind that one.
I trust broadly corroborated video evidence. For example I know that the “mostly peaceful protests” were anything but from watching videos filmed by diverse sources.

The Internet and ubiquitous cameras really have revolutionized our ability to see what’s actually going on.

A long time ago some one came up with a way to print on thin reusable plastic sheets. I thought it was brilliant, but it never made it big — perhaps it was too slow as well.
The thing html missed out on (which was part of the original vision, to be fair) was using the same program for editing and viewing.
Administrative bloat does seem to be directly connected with the unbridled tuition increases of the past few decades.

Much of the knowledge is already available for free - via MOOCs, open courseware, youtube, public libraries, etc.; yet the completion rate for MOOCs is low, probably due in part to students lacking the time, motivation, or background required to complete a course. Some courses are more flexible and self-paced, but there may still be issues in terms of overall time required, etc.. And without some (often externally applied) structure it can be difficult to complete a course of study.

Unfortunately for people with jobs, employers do not typically encourage coursework (or any other study) as it is assumed it will reduce job effort and commitment.

Be that as it may, I think there is a lot to be said for self-paced, programmed instruction. Some subjects (biology, chemistry...) do require specialized laboratory facilities/equipment/supplies, but many do not.
Thank you for noting this, I did not know that.
The first hard drive I owned was a Seagate ST506/412 5-1/4" (10MB). IIRC I got a great deal and paid only $1k. This was pre PC and I connected it (with some difficulty) to my CP/M machine.

This will be an ongoing issue, since even if a locality has a fire code that lays out that you need to have extinguishers, those are not geared towards the chemical fire that an electric vehicle generates.

(Also, in many places, electric only doesn't make sense because it gets too cold -- you want a hybrid that you run gas through once every two weeks to keep the parts working for emergencies if it's gonna go down as far as [checks notes] negative forty degrees.)
Guess it remains to be seen if they can make up for the lack of public equity with cash or if the cash will be tied up in loan repayments.
The platform may be innovative, but monopolizing attention is horrible for future innovation.
You have a much different experience on general social media sites than I do. When I open a twitter thread that isn't sandboxed to nerds geeking out with other nerds about cool stuff, half the stuff I see is flamebait or just nasty adhominem vitriol. But, I think it just goes with the territory, if HN was a place for politics/culture wars/etc. it would probably devolve into the filth despite Dang's best efforts. This and stackoverflow are the only sites that I actively want to read comments, instead of mindlessly scrolling down to them and regretting it.
No there isn't. Twitter isn't the bastion of communication for human connection. It is a place for people seeking attention to spew their PR snippets. For God's sake, please go out into nature and then take a walk somewhere with people before suggesting that Twitter is the place for humans to communicate and organize.
That's like 90+% of HN users
> Why would I want a digital watch? Just another set of annoying updates and notifications and battery needs charging and system updates and ....

Depends on the watch. I've got, on my hand right now, a $15 casio that was purchased in 2011 and it is still on its first battery.

OTOH, for dress matches, it annoys me no end that when I open my watch drawer and pick a quartz watch (whether digital or not) and find that the battery is dead and I cannot use it for that specific occasion.

At least with the mechanicals I can wind it there and then, set the time and use it.
> I am just thinking of what's clearly considered normal among my peers.

OK, so that gets directly to my point. You have a community. It has norms. You presumably police it according to those norms. Some things are OK, some aren't. I'm not going to judge it, because it's not my community (though I dearly hope you aren't trafficking in the kind of hate the Bee did).

But Twitter is a community too, and it has different rules.

As for the joke you found. Y'know what, I think that's pretty borderline. I can see some forums (here, for example) finding that banworthy, and I wouldn't be shocked if Twitter did too. But it's also a rando comment with sub-1000 engagement numbers. If this was horrifically offensive to Trump supports, not many of them seem to have been complaining about it. The Babylon Bee had many millions of followers and this was a very controversial article.
> Journalists are supposed to have more credibility than your friend's gossip though

For what is essentially a pop culture scoop, three hours seems like a fine trade-off between accuracy and timeliness.
Twitter does that occasionally. Just reload the page until it works.

I don't think they've ever had more than 2 9s of reliability.
Ah this is a good read. Thanks!

You're assuming escaping the browser sandbox wouldn't also escape the firejail sandbox. The bypasses are likely the same.
The thing you said and the thing I said are both true imo.

>Search right now for any insulting, racist, negationist trope and you'll find tons of tweets.

Sounds like the hostile community I'm describing, which turns a lot of people off from Twitter!
Explanation?

The traditional theory is that when one person can be more productive via education and technology, they stop relying on offspring as a labor source, because they can increase productivity more via mental labor and toool building then via uterine labor.

It's a bit cyclical, since not caring for babies frees up time for more mental labor to improve productivity to reduce the need for child labor.
Sure, but I'm suggesting you could skip the container too if all you need to deploy is a binary anyway
I honestly view insects as largely robotic, performing a limited set of specific tasks over and over without requiring any learning. Some of those tasks are immensely complex! But they do them with the determination of an automaton and with, presumably, fixed programming dictating the behaviors (since they require no teaching whatsoever for hunting or nesting or breeding or child-rearing, unlike other more 'advanced' animals).

So no, I never considered insects to be "feeling" creatures. But research like this can certainly change my mind!
Yes, it's kind of amazing how the 8080/Z80/8086 instructions sets make much more sense in octal, but are always displayed in hexadecimal. In hex, you can kind of see some patterns, but everything is obvious in octal. The 6502 is also based on bit triples, but they grouped the bits from the top, so octal doesn't make things any better.

The Datapoint 2200, by the way, used decimal decoder chips to decode the octal parts of the instruction set and simply ignored the 8 and 9 outputs.
I think you're underestimating how much actual users of Twitter use Twitter.
Sure but the idea is that the standard is "just embed SQLite". Nobody has to pretend it's a generic database interface or anything.
This sounds awesome! So what’s the catch?
In my experience Realtek network cards often leave a lot to be desired when used in a routing / firewalling / always on environment. I specifically make sure NICs are Intel based when configuring systems.
HN is a small and uniform community, twitter is basically a group messenger -- I don't think it'd be reasonable to try to apply the same standards.

(dang does do a great job, and it's really remarkable how well HN has maintained its quality over many years. That it is not a commericial enterprise also helps a lot, I think.)

dang, if you're reading this, what's your motivation? It seems like a lot of work and somewhat thankless.
I take your point, but would suggest the joke is more pointedly aimed at society generally, and the magazine specifically.

What makes the joke funny and culturally relevant — as opposed trivial cruelty — is that it represents a simple, forbidden truth for which one will be subject to severe public censure and deplatforming.

Comedy is a final bulwark against uncritical thinking, and can be used to deflate ludicrous ideas that are otherwise culturally unassailable.
I'm posting this only to further decrease the upvote/comment ratio.

Too true -- as topics get less technological and more political, comments here become increasingly naive without any corresponding reduction in certainty.
We are going to first try to reach feature parity with the go implementation in the areas we care about. But it is quite clear that there are some drastic improvements needed at the protocol level to get the desired performance.

We are going to experiment with such improvements, and try to work with protocol labs to standardise them if/when we come up with a good solution.

This. As someone living in China and having used wechat for years I've always found it ultra cringey when American businessmen/influencers are like "omg have you guys seen what Chinese are doing with wechat! They have this all in one app where..."

First of all this idea of a superapp is nothing new. In fact iOS or Android is also a "superapp". Basically a software that has an ecosystem inside of it. Wechat has just created their own ecosystem within a ecosystem, because they want to control everything.

Second, when compared to most other Chinese apps I do have to admit that wechat is much more finished, but when compared to other global messaging apps like Telegram, Slack etc. I'd say wechat is about 10-15 years behind in everything and lacking the most fundamental features.
The social media aspect of wechat which is called "Wechat Moments" is also extremely limited: Basically like Instagram without you being able to see or follow people you don't know personally. If your friend posts a photo and his friend (who you don't know) makes a comment on it, you cannot see this comment but you can see your friends replies to him/her. Yes, super confusing. Also no images, videos, gifs in the comments etc.

Third, a lot of people like to mention that "you can do everything with wechat". You can do a lot of things, but I don't know anyone who only uses wechat. There are a lot of other apps that you need to live comfortably: Alipay (this is another superapp), Taobao (like ebay), Jingdong (like amazon), Dianping (like Yelp), Eleme/Meituan (like Uber eats), Baidu maps, banking apps etc. etc.

Wechat does have it's internal "miniprogram" system (alternative to native apps) where you can have some of these apps I previously mentioned, but there are severe app size, memory and performance limitations, proprietary API and the performance and functionality is from early 2010s internet. Laggy and slowly opening pages, collapsing and bouncy layouts etc. Also wechat does not support multitasking: When you are using for example Tim Horton's miniprogram to order coffee, you can't chat with your friends, you can't open a Starbucks/some_other_coffee_company miniprogram on the side and compare prices. You have to close and kill the current "app" and then open a new "app" for new action.
This is somewhat understandable due to the iOS/Android limitations of a single app (in regards to performance and memory), but it highlights why this kind of a "superapp" idea is fundamentally flawed.

So basically IMO "superapp" is a solution looking for a problem. We already have iOS, Android or web browser. We don't need another forced ecosystem but we need good apps for existing ones.
I think both. It's not just about creating value, but also finding the energy to go that extra mile and make sure you're pushing your technical boundaries every time you get a chance to. Of course projects and things play a huge role in your professional growth too, I can only imagine how much I'd grow spending X years at a FAANG company compared to a nameless consultancy shop.
Diversity of viewpoints is good, even if they are all "wrong" with various amounts of "nuggets" of truth. The futile exercise of preventing someone from hurting someone else's feelings, is the main casualty, and that's a very very good thing.
thank you. Will fix :)
I guess failing to reproduce after would count, too.
I always worry about those, because it suggest that they might be using those passwords to build a string of some sort, like a database query, or a json object. This is a problem firstly because string libraries are notoriously vulnerable, secondly because the password is being sent somewhere, and thirdly because it’s probably being stored somewhere. Stop doing this! Un-hashed* passwords should never leave the browser.

* don’t forget salt. Mmmm… salty hash brown passwords

I'm confused at the magnetic field aspect. The point of dark matter is that it doesn't interact electromagnetically, at least not strongly. Is the idea that this interaction is such a rare one that it has escaped all the earth-based experiments so far?
Not really, it's because org-mode is completely almost unusable outside of Emacs. Unlike Markdown, it looks terrible as truly plain text. And Emacs, while great in so many ways, is is an esoteric paradigm (same with vim, but many of us are hooked on it anyway).

Ubiquitous keyboard layouts, text editing and markup paradigms are all due for a massive shake up, but agreed they have a lot to learn from the Emacs stuff.
Yes, because the education system failed them and taught them to blindly trust in the media and so when they lose that they go to the opposite end of the spectrum. Some of them will come around and find some middle ground, and others will be be content in spewing misinformation as long as it makes them feel better.
By implementations I mean the general infrastructure for enforcing country-specific laws locally, but not as a general rule of Twitter.

Non-motivated non-adversaries already defeat these systems by accident, which I assume are mostly based on user-reports. But apparently Germany's regulators are satisfied enough with Twitter's implementation, since I haven't heard about any issues with it.
"I can tell you, "if something's fishy about the situation, just leave". You can do this not because of some particular training inputs or examples I give you, but because you have common sense and a sort of personality and intuition for how to behave in the absence of data."

Only if I had a baseline to compare the situation to. If you took out all familiar elements, I'd have no way of telling whether a situation was normal or suspicious. My understanding of the word "fishy" is born from 300 thousand hours of training data.

"It's mostly because we have no idea how to design them anyway else. I think if anyone knew how to build complex agents with rich internal states that have the intent and communication abilities of humans we'd do that."

That's a different question. We can build machines that learn autonomously; they just don't have the capability of biological minds.
How exactly are you going to "bypass BGP" on the global Internet? Reaching your trusted peers depends on routing, which means BGP (at least for anything outside of your ASN.)
Agreed. HN is one my fave places for hardly strictly tech discourse. But its commenters have that unfortunate undying love for the American Democratic Party where any purely factual dissent is thumbed down with no explanation. I'm personally "far left" (more accurately: believe what the mainstream American wants from their govt) and twice I mentioned something negative about some MSDNC person and got negative a million points.

Other than that, I learn a lot every day from y'alls!

> there isn't even a need to see a lawyer about this.

All major companies employ in-house lawyers. Issues like this always go through in-house legal. Rather than a question of whether they “need to see a lawyer”, their own lawyers will be advising them on it as a matter of course.
As it stands the eu is not ideal. A quick look will show plenty of reasons to be outside.

Proudly, the uk has an ethnic minority pm, while the eu is still grinding its roma minority. Thats just the most recent example of how fundamentally messed up it is.

But it has good potential, hence i would have preferred the uk to remain so it can reform it or assert more influence to its advantage. I am still baffled as to why british banks and companies didnt establish a presence in all eu states as germany did. Would have been a breath of fresh air and very profitable.

But you are not making any points here, just basically a stunt.

If Twitter is the de facto standard and akin to an utility why should they make decisions on what's allowed beyond lawfulness?
I think polarization is likely to be much more extreme if you silo people off into like minded groups.
It may be fringe in the sense that people don't state what they actually believe out of fear, but it is not fringe on official policies and the direction they are heading. If you don't agree with the statement "Trans women are women", and all the conclusions that leads to, ie. trans women in sports, then you risk being cancelled.
