I don't know what's going on with that, it's gotten so bad these past few years. I'm not hard of hearing but there are regularly shows where I can't hear the dialog at all because of the mix. Some recent ones that come to mind were Tenet and the Invincible tv-show.
A problem of Android for embeddeds is mismatch of software/hardware lifecycle. Android can't be secure for a decade. Even if manufacturer want to maintain, SoC vendor don't support version up so long, and SoC become significantly underpowered for latest OS/apps. Security is important since it's useless to have Android without networking.
One move by China and Apple sales pause for a few years. Is this priced in?
I’ve experienced this with some streaming—HBO Max in particular seems to have problems with out of sync CC on some but not all of their programming. Last Week Tonight is usually about a second or so behind with the captions vs the audio, and I think some other original programming has similar issues.
Javascript bad, HTML good. Upvotes to the left.
I thought it was an engineered virus? Wasn’t that the theory? Was it a leak of a naturally occurring virus or engineered

Anyway, I think what you were really told was that there was absolutely zero evidence but a lot of innuendo.

The fact that China is sticking with a zero Covid policy makes one wonder if there’s more to the story but when it comes to facts, we seem to have very little actual information.
Apple's Beats earbuds case is already USB-C so I imagine it's coming for Airpods.

The purported goal is to “prevent ewaste”. How does it prevent ewaste if you still can’t depend on the cords working the way they should?

If you (or anyone!) have any concrete ideas to offer about how list of related links could best be incorporated into HN's UI, I'd like to hear them!

We'd be looking to make the minimum possible change while adding such a feature. The goal is a "splash free dive" as sctb used to say. Most ways that I've thought of doing it (so far) involve too much splash.

> Global carbon emissions from energy will peak in 2025 thanks to massively increased government spending on clean fuels in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to analysis by the world’s leading energy organisation.

> The International Energy Agency (IEA) said that government spending on clean energy in response to the crisis would mark a “historic turning point” in the transition away from fossil fuels, in its annual report on global energy.

> The invasion of Ukraine has prompted an energy crisis around the world, with global gas prices initially surging. The crisis has caused steep inflation that has made households poorer around the world.

> Governments have been scrambling to find other sources of energy. Some analysts have questioned whether fears over energy security could lead to the use of fossil fuels for longer, slowing the world’s race to net zero carbon emissions. Some countries – including the US and the UK under previous prime minister Liz Truss – have pledged to encourage fossil fuel extraction to try to ease prices.
Or that they saw the immediate effect but the consequences after that. Hindsight is 20/20.
Jellyfin is terrible for music. MythTV? What decade is it?

Nope. I'm glued on left. I'm reaching back past Tammany hall here. I'd be amazed if there isn't a long deep tradition of implied threat to companies in their associations with political parties. I'm pretty sure there is here in my own polity (Australia) which is why so many people want explicit exposure of corporate funds to parties above trivial thresholds and why we are so happy not to have PAC and "citizens united" bullshit.

The qualitative differences are the megaphone: MGT is using this as a weapon to her base and the wider community. What I think has gone on is the usual back room shenanigans.

You think companies investing in Iraq reconstruction weren't lined up 20 deep to talk to D and R about contracts across changes of governments? Or the prior case for Vietnam, or postwar investment in roads for America?
Have you been to the Midwest? I grew up near Cape Cod, and I have to say -- I'll take a nor'easter any day, give me the snow. That "maybe a tornado will just come down and demolish your house" type thunderstorm is pretty scary! I'm glad we've got a calm atmosphere up here.
Of course people are going to be proud, the horrors of capitalism aside, we’ve completely eliminated hunger in the US (not implying we’re the only place). Not one single person is starving because we are unable to feed them. And we’re able to feed everyone with the absolute top tier of food desired by humans. It used to be an event only for special occasions to slaughter your lifestock. The only people who got a steady diet of meat were the wealthy.

Cruelty aside that is something to take so much pride in. I think it’s easy to forget the bigger picture of progress here. Are we destroying the planet, oh yeah. Have we created a machine of unfathomable cruelty, also yes. But are we well fed with exactly the food we want to be eating given the choice, hell yeah and that’s an insane accomplishment. That’s something that was not possible 150 years ago.
That is reactive, and not proactive prevention
Nicely summed up… exactly my thoughts.

He has no taste to understand what good looks like, just look at the promo videos… I remember the one with 2 ppl logging in the morning at breakfast having a quick fly around and drinking coffee through a straw while having the headset strapped on… absolute garbage… who is this for? Absolute failure in product / UX research.

To attract users… start small… create something artistic and unique to attract a niche audience first vs trying to target everyone.
Are you suggesting Signal should not repay their debts or the best time to do that is not as soon as possible? If not, regardless of if there’s no interest, that loan should be repaid as soon as possible in my opinion. In my opinion, 990s are public, that loan was publicly acknowledged, and see no issue with a non-profit raising donations or repaying their debts.

All that said, if it was up to me, Signal would have their 990s on their site, annual publicly shared audits, etc. - which to my knowledge they do not.
You're pretty much on point, unless you're making something really specific/that needs every bit of performance that it can get, you're better served by an existing engine

Where did you get the existence of sub-km (horizontal) grid forecasts from? Thus page https://www.dwd.de/EN/research/weatherforecasting/num_modell... contains the following sentence:
"The operational NWP models of DWD currently employ horizontal grid mesh widths between 2.8 and 13 km."

The convective cell tracking for nowcasting seems finer, IMO reasonable as it's about predicting watersheds down to <10km² area flash-flooding and causing the local creek to swell to actually dangerous levels/requiring partial evacuation of a valley.
> "keep going down abc street and turn left at the 1000 block" really isn't that good of a way of giving directions over a radio unless the people on the other side have an inhumanly good sense of where they are.

That does not sound that hard if you know how the area is laid out. Especially for people who drive around a lot, like cops, delivery drivers, taxis…

If you told me a street and a block number in my city I would know where to go in probably a second or two.
Yeah, in a way we're already there.

It gives a new meaning to "my computer is a datacenter" phrase.

we easily run multiple VMs kn the same laptop with multiple kernels with multiple TCP/IP implementations; even withing the same OS user space programs come with their own DNS resolvers that ignore system wide settings (Go without cgo, I'm thinking of you), and soon we're going to have a proliferation of user space networking stacks.
I hold onto ideas until the market takes them from me.
Aren't we in a climate emergency at risk of catastrophic famines and the eventual extinction of the human race?

There's not going to be a perfect solution. Probably not even a good one. Pumped storage (and hydro power in general) seems a pretty great option, compared to building ridiculously vast banks of batteries that need replacing every decade or two.

I do exactly this (with emby instead of jellyfin though), with a cron job that runs this:

#!/bin/bash -x

export IFS="\n"
find . -type f -name youtube-dl.batchfile | \
xargs -I {} -n 1 bash -x -c \
'cd "$(dirname "{}")" && pwd && yt-dlp --config-location youtube-dl.config'

each youtube-dl.batchfile is in a directory that corresponds to an emby library, and is a plain text file where each line is a link to something that yt-dlp understands (usually a youtube channel or playlist). The youtube-dl.config contains (among other things)

--batch-file youtube-dl.batchfile

to point to the batchfile, and

--download-archive youtube-dl-archive.txt

so that I don't re-download videos I've already retrieved, and also because it gives me a super quick way to exclude certain videos: either I can just go in and delete the file for a video I don't like (and instead of downloading it again, yt-dlp sees the ID in the archive and doesn't even bother trying to download it), or if I know of some I don't want it ever to download I can just pre-emptively put their IDs in the dl-archive file.

So now when I find a channel I want to download for the kids, I just drop a line in a batchfile and either kick off the cron job by hand or wait.
Ask HN: The manager that you didn't want to leave
What are some things this person - or department - do right - for you and for your team? What are some exceptionally good traits that made work life noticeably better?

You are confusing energy storage and fuel storage. I am talking about CAES, it uses electricity to compress air and feed that into a container, like a metal cylinder or caverns lined with impermeable material. When you need electricity, you release the air through a generator and produce electricity.

Hydroelectric, compressed air and batteries have round trip efficiency of ~80%.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/compressed-...

The facility you linked produces and stores chemical fuel, and can't even convert it back into electricity. It is really easy to store insane quantity of fuel, just like we can store loads of oil.

The kicker is that production of Hydrogen and other e-fuelds is less than 50% efficient, and converting them back to electricity is another 50% loss. Compression for storage and transportation mean further losses. So the overall round-trip efficiency is expected to be about 25% or lower.

It is probably possible to build an economy based on e-fuels, and that's what many oil companies are pushing for. They are probably the only viable way to achieve seasonal storage. It's a different set of tradeoffs.
Thought experiment: grab a random “standard USB C” cable.

Now answer a few questions just by looking at it:

- what wattage does is supper?

- what data speed does it support?

- will it support video over USB C?

Why didn’t the EU in all of its technical brilliance at least attempt to come up with a minimum “standard”?
Glad to hear all is okay!
Read the article. Sounds like in that instance it was a good choice to remove the dam and had a good outcome. Well based on the information presented anyhow. Also I’m not sure if the main justification for removal pencils out for me. Yes some fish - 123 so far - were able to reproduce further upstream by 7 miles. What would have happened if the dam was still in place? Breed just below the dam? Do the fish really care where they do the deed or lay their eggs? Can’t believe that would be very true. Heck when I was their age I was pretty happy to do the deed and wasn’t too too awful concerned where it was at either. :D
Instead of planes, why not used a tethered balloon with a 360 camera, and direct fiberoptic cable to the ground. Curious how high a balloon like this could go up before it exceeded the weight and strength limits of the filament line.

Oh here’s another thought, what if Github (Microsoft) started doing this as well. That actually seems less and less of a stretch the more I think about it.

> That's why I was disappointed in particular because of who's name was on it, because to me it reads poorly. That's why my reaction was so visceral. I'm glad to hear that in actuality it has really been benefiting those OSS maintainers, but I stand by at least my suggestion that some of the explainer/marketing copy on that site needs to change. It in my honest opinion does not read to the same level of positivity that you or lbotos below put it to.

Thanks for pointing this out this gap. Even the chance to prevent causing this kind of reaction is massive.

I positive it’s a writing/conveyance problem , but I can only think this because of my direct dealings with OCV. Just a bit of tweaking on this page and a better layout of the vision is probably whats needed.

I mean I’m not even the person who should be commenting — the voices that need to be heard are maintainers that made the choice to trust OCV. They’re on disparate timezones but hopefully more chime in.
Gotta be some mega accounting shens going on here.
I think if you look beyond the easy but correct narrative of the metaverse, you'd find that Facebook was in a very tricky situation even if they had never jumped into the metaverse bonfire.

Facebook at its core is bullshit. It's a growth story but they've got a user base that rounds up to every human on the planet. There's no more 5x or 10x growth to achieve.

And this is even before you get into is all this add spend even producing results or worth anything close to the amount of revenue they are getting in the short term?

People often incorrectly lable these never-ending growth stories as ponzischemes but they clearly aren't. It's own unique kind of scheme that combines the payoff characteristics of a ponzi scheme with a real business with a growth story that can never be delivered on. All said and done, these tech infinite growth investment schemes are probably just as pernicious as ponzi schemes. The losses are already drastically larger from the perspective of the people who bought into the top of this one or the last one

Facebook lost more today than the entirety of madoffs career and so independently did amazon.
I guess we can agree to disagree. Livestock is something only the wealthy could eat daily and today we have discovered methods that allow anyone to enjoy this. This is great progress.

You’re free to choose your lifestyle of course and I’m grateful to live in a place and time where that’s possible. But I don’t subscribe to your beliefs. I have access to the same information you do. I possibly have a more critical appraisal of it and I don’t believe the hype.

People have acted like you since the dawn of time. They might be right one day but they’ve been wrong every time so far. Line the guys who claim the market is crashing every month.

> For the most part public defenders hate body cams

That's too strong of an assertion. The PDs I've heard from actually like body cameras because it keeps police honest.

The problem, as that article describes, is that PDs are overworked, underpaid, and offices of the public defender are usually understaffed. Reviewing bodycam footage for every arrest has substantially increased their already heavy workload.
I have no idea if Mansa Musa spent huge amounts trying to conquer Portugal, or what his amphibious invasion capabilities were. To be honest, its a really silly comparison since the world was vastly different and neither of us can fully appreciate how it worked. I do know that the US has generally been successful when throwing resources at problems until they are solved in its recent history (at least to the Civil War), so its entirely reasonable to believe we can continue doing so successfully.
Our experience with this has been the complete opposite. Apple's reliance on real human reviewers was precisely the issue for us. Your mileage may vary by a lot depending on the region you operate in.

Google's process, while not perfect, made it at least transparent that the process is going to take a while. And at least in our case, the process involved some real people at the end to point out the specific concerns that actually lead to actionables.

Apple's process is slow, and seems to be worse in my region; it's clear that they're severely understaffed here. We spent a good 30 days trying to fix a crash, and they were all spent for either submitting a new app version to Apple, waiting for the review to finish, getting it rejected for some very vague reasons, and waiting for a response from them to elaborate their reasons for the rejection.
Stimulus isn't a huge part of it, but it's hard to deny that the US has ample safety nets for domestic business. The larger problem is our Laissez-faire attitude towards tech regulation and already predatory consumer practices. The US government has had considerable oversight over Big Tech for at least a decade, but it refuses to roll out consumer protections when Democrats or Republicans are in office. The European market balks at the stuff Google and Apple get away with, and rightfully so. Our regulators, legislators and executive leaders all turn their backs on software distribution and internet regulation because it makes us so much money! The US lives or dies on the health of it's economy, it should be no small secret that our leadership will keep these companies on life support as long as they can.

No one is “shouting get rid of all the red tape” with respect to nuclear power in the US. There are safety experts urging a more scientific approach.
The US has been pushing and is very vocal about its partners not using Huawei.

They might be right, but it's super hard to determine where good intentions stop and self interest starts.
It's a matter of trust. If I can't trust that it's truly open source, then it erodes some of the confidence I have in them. I haven't personally tried running a functional Signal server without the spam filtering code, so I don't know if it truly works without it.
You don’t need port 80 open, you can do DNS based challenge.

1) Transfer your domain to someone who provides a DNS API like DigitalOcean or Cloudflare

2) download the appropriate plugin for certbot (certbot-dns-digitalocean, certbot-dns-cloudflare)

3) get an API token and config the plugin with it

4) set up a post-renew-hook to do a `service nginx reload` to reload the new cert

It’s odd to care so much that someone enjoys a piece of software they paid for even if an open source alternative exists. I have said absolutely nothing against Emby/Jellyfin, just that I personally use Plex. I even mentioned Jellyfin in my original statement on equal footing with Plex:

> You cannot pay for an experience that rivals Plex (or in this case Jellyfin).

You omitted that from your quote. I was stating that running your own media server (no matter the software) is better than using the streaming services. I use Plex so I talked about Plex. I wasn’t refuting the article, I was making a statement about how shitty streaming has gotten.
They only fine hackers that break in and steal data?

Oh, wait, they're increasing the fines on the victims of break ins. Nice, and do they also fine the victims of burglaries? After all, by the reasoning being applied here, the burglary victims should have better protected their homes and/or businesses.

Why isn't there more outrage against the hackers?
One of my favorite possessions is a Craigslist-sourced Herman Miller Aeron from the 2008 bust. Still my daily chair.
Hopefully it has changed, but when I was using Deno, there wasn’t a standard for TypeScript libraries that worked in both environments (due to Deno requiring file extensions on imports and tsc requiring no file extension on imports). There was a workaround using import maps, but it’s not tenable for large libraries.
I spend many hours per day on a computer and the M1 MacBook Pro just feels nice to use. The little things on it that make it a pleasure. The speakers sound good, the screen is excellent, the keyboard is fantastic, the battery lasts forever. I don't even do big bad compiling jobs or anything. I can afford it and that's why I got it. My iPhone is the same way. I'll spend $100 on a single dinner. Simple as that. And clearly, millions feel the same way. Not everything needs to be some sort of min-maxing exercise.

The struggle is real!
I agree. Humans have struggled to feed themselves since the beginning. We finally, only recently, figured out how to make people not starve to death and now we have people saying we are morally wrong for living how humans always wanted to.

I think sone people need the guilt of being alive religion gave them. But they rejected traditional methods and invented a new religion of self hatred. Humans as sinners that need to seek redemption or some other silly idea.
