I have power line adaptors just to link a printer in my conservatory to the rest of my home network.

One month my internet was incredibly flaking. After finally getting down to debugging I was horrified to find mine and my neighbours networks had coalesced.

I tore the power line adaptors out and got a WiFi printer.

I have no idea how it could happen only that at some point we'd both pressed the connect buttons within the discoverable phase.

They don't want to support it. they make less money from old content and it would deviate from their fanatical control over suggestions that are probably some of the worst in the industry coupled with the worst user interface, aggressive ads, and dark patterns galore....it's trash....it's like a VLT machine at this point...designed to convert advertiser money and funnel it to affiliated creators for the most part.
What you call "righteous punishment" is just revenge. You want revenge. It is a natural response to being wronged. But that is not justice. And it is no way to build a society. To be overly cliche, two wrongs do not make a right.

The moral use of the penal system is to remove the danger from society, make restitution, and rehabilitate where possible. Those are not always possible. Torturing people held captive is its own crime, and one we are guilty of to a horrifying extent as a nation. To say nothing of the innocent people we subject to these horrors.
I don't understand what problems the Hyundai 74 is trying to solve. It has roughly the same stats as a long range model 3 for acceleration and range, but has to carry around both a fuel cell and a 60+ kwh battery (nearly as large as the model 3's). Hydrogen mpge is already terrible (all hydrogen mirai has 75 compared to long range model 3 at 130), and an extra step here is only going to make it worse.

Is there something I'm misunderstanding about the vehicle's platform?
> just cannot get myself better at drawing...

There is no such thing as "better" drawing. Drawing cannot be categorised as "better" or "worse". Just have a look at paintings of some of the well-known artists, example Picasso, and you will know what I mean.
IIRC ~70CHF for the outlet (which only works with the Feller electrical wall outlets AFAIK) + 10CHF (RJ45 module) + 20 CHF (single-port LC/APC module).

The cable extension is expensive, 150CHF or so for 20m, but you'd probably need it for this outlet because it's specially designed so it can be attached to the LC/APC module manually (no splicing). Something like Swisscom's ClickLC, just a different system.
This is Volkswagen, so they actually got 20km and the rest was measured rolling downhill with the engine off.
It's not like they didn't know about it - it was a tradeoff that allowed them to carry more ordnance and drop-tanks on the center-line. They weren't able to put ordnance stations on the wings, so the centerline and the sides of the fuselage were the only areas available to carry the honkin' big Phoenix missile (13 feet long!)

As a swing-wing plane, putting weapon stations on the wings meant they'd have to pivot in the opposite direction of the wing motion to keep the bombs/missiles pointing forward (so they didn't become an aerodynamic drag.) Pivoting ordnance stations on the wings would also mean the wing swing servos would need to be larger and more powerful (aka heavier). So no ordnance on the wings.

The other heavy consumable part of a fighter is the fuel. Most of the fuel on the F-14 was carried inside the fuselage between the engines. There were small tanks in the wings (which mean there was a flexible hose connecting it - that likely leaked) but most of it was stored along the centerline of the aircraft, helping with the center of gravity and allowing it to turn faster.

I hope you & the rest of the community will consider writing a detailed postmortem. I take from some of your comments that there has been a series of issues which has culminated in this schism. As someone who has (currently stealth mode) open source projects they'd like to release with a similar model, with a commercial entity supporting a broader community project, I'd appreciate understanding what I should take from this in structuring my project. I don't think I'm alone in that.

Powerline networking is unreliable, and emits huge amounts of noise/interference that make shortwave listening a disaster. Just use WiFi, or run ethernet. It's really not as hard as you think to run ethernet, often it can be run along existing HVAC ducting.
Why do fertilizer and steel require hydrogen in particular rather than just green-electricity-powered induction heating? Is the hydrogen meant to be a chemical component in the manufacture of fertilizer and steel rather than merely a heat fuel?
This is so much more reasonable than that …other… Modest Proposal.
Also, the AIM-54 was designed to down bombers, which even in TU-22M form have very different maneuverability than fighters.
It can be taken as complaining but I see it as they are just trying the civil communication route before doing something like a gpl fork that's all. It's the opposite of unreasonable or bad behavior.

Just for the record, there is no foreign country where I think a 22 year old marrying a 13 year old is ok. It may be normal there, but it doesn't make it right. Keeping an eye on your cultural biases is fine and good, but there is a line - and child marriage is definitely on the far side of that line - and it always has been.
It's a crummy hand when the cause is increasing wealth gaps. The money was there and is there. Policy has shifted how much of it the middle class ends up with. That's crummy.
This seems like it isn't DD specific. I've had my fare share of experiences with overly aggressive sales people. It feels like it's just the incentive.

If a sales person makes one sale it doesn't matter if the organization's reputation is overall negatively impacted, they got paid and reputation is something that takes years to really see large impact from. Given that sales people work on commission, or at least largely so, and may not even work at a company for more than a few years, it makes sense to aggressively pursue every potential lead. You'll remember "DD has aggressive sales" and not "that one sales person is super aggressive".

I'm not sure how companies should fix this other than increasing base pay and decreasing commission payouts, but obviously that has its own incentive issues.

I guess a company wide policy of "never contact someone more than X times per Y timeframe" and "never ever ever contact someone via cell phone wtf" would help.
> It's not unusual to hear convicted criminals that two-three-five or more years in jail is worth the risk rather than taking a stupid job.

Citation please? From my understanding, there are typically a wide swath of reasons people commit crimes, but I have never seen a stat suggesting that jail is preferable to a stupid job.
The main issue is that we have time based sentences only for most crimes. Criminals should never be left back in society unless they prove themselves fit/worthy to come back. Of course I don't mind a minumum time based sentences as punishment on top of that requirement either.

Earnest question; is unkillability a desirable quality in a system? Put another way, is it responsible to engineer a machine that has no off switch?
I very much agree with this article. As someone relatively new to photography (less than four years), prime lenses have allowed me better quality for less money with a wider variation of lenses/applications. 20mm for architecture and interiors; 50mm for street or environmental portraits; 85mm for beautiful rather close-up portraits; 105mm macro for product shots and mid-range portraits.

Correct. It’s not purely for heating.
That's because the UK is way behind mainland Europe in this regard. My previous house in a very busy area of London had 80mbps max...

However in a small town in Switzerland we have 25Gbps available. The UK could be in this position, but Thatcher happened unfortunately, and the project was canned.

This “spiritual” answer may not be a helpful answer, but “we” did. The government and billionaires hav no power when enough people said no.

All the weapons in the world mean nothing if no one is willing to use them.

“Solving” this problem will happen when enough people decide to live without violence and coercion. There likely will always be people that wish to use force to coerce, but if enough say no, the few violent ones will not be able to.

Of course if one person has a button that can destroy everyone else, then they can hold everyone else hostage. Right now a few people have almost direct access to these weapons, but mostly the power exists through the belief in external authority. There are many that will follow the orders of a few.

Pragmatically, I have no answers to how/if we can really get there. It’s a hope and dream in my heart.
> "The 50mm lens is called a “normal” or “standard” lens because the way it renders perspective closely matches that of the human eye."

This sentence is confusing and wrong.

A perspective that "closely matches that of the human eye" has nothing to do with the focal distance of a lens.

Such a perspective is obtained whenever you look at a photograph from such a distance so that you will see it under the same angle under which it has been seen by the photo camera.

For a normal 50 mm lens, that means that you must look at a 4:3 photograph from a distance about twice the height of the photograph, e.g. from about 60 cm when looking at a photograph whose height is 30 cm and whose width is 40 cm.

The normal focal length of around 50 mm has been chosen after some experiments about which is the maximum vision angle under which a painting or photograph can be seen, when looking at the complete ensemble, and not at details, while being able to perceive correctly the perspective relationships inside the image. The conclusion was that the aspect ratio must be around 4:3 and the viewing distance about twice the image height.

So it is a distance that feels comfortable for humans when looking at the entire image. Being much farther away diminishes the perception of small details, while being much closer makes difficult the perception of the complete image simultaneously.

When a photograph is taken with a wide-angular lens, one would have to look at the image from a too small distance, to match the original perspective. When a photograph is taken with a long-focus lens, one would have to look at the photograph from too far away, to match the original perspective.

N.B. The correct viewing distance for the normal perspective is from about twice the height of the image. I have no idea who has originated the very widespread myth that the right distance is the diagonal of the image. A computation for either 4:3 or 3:2 images would show that their diagonals are much less than 50 mm, when viewed from the corresponding angle of a normal lens (e.g. the diagonal of a 36 mm x 24 mm image is 43 mm). Moreover, 50 mm is at the lower limit of the normal focal lengths. Many normal camera lenses had slightly longer focal lengths, up to 54 mm, or even 56 mm, which were even farther from the diagonal lengths of the images.
Once tank size gets to a certain point (the "range" of the driver/passengers for example) the only reason to get bigger is to reduce refueling time or because of fuel availability limitations.

This is part of the reason super long flights aren't as common as might be expected, because it's often significantly cheaper to have a layover, even if the plane could actually do the flight in one go - having to carry the second half fuel for the first half is heavy (and the extreme version of this is the rocket equation).
> I could probably have phrased it differently and said having the OPTION to pay by phone is great.

This article and the comments here are complaining about restaurants who _only_ use QR codes for menus. I'd presume there is basically no one against having the _option_ of seeing the menu with a QR code. While I personally find QR codes much inferior to many other simpler approaches (paper slips, menus at the door, menu on the wall, etc.), I don't care if they offer them in addition to traditional methods.
Yup. Sort of upset as I think with better form/style more people would have been exposed to his idea.
So do what the boomers did and form unions. Working together, you can collectively demand higher wages, or shit does not get done. This has been proven out in practice to work - that's why the boomers did it in the first place. Is it perfect? No. But it gets you closer to where you want to go instead of bitching about wages being too low, then following it up with American Individualism and Exceptionalism.
That is a strong accusation. If you see my comment history here you will learn more about how that statement is false.

I am saying that companies like those have a management culture that is not tolerant to managees suggesting managers what to do.

You can see many employees of those companies in Quora and Glassdoor saying the same thing.
There's a difference between forums, where everyone sees the same posts, and platforms, such as twitter, where everyone chooses who to follow and block.

How should Elon Musk deal with irrate Tesla customers on twitter? If necessary, by blocking them, but not by banning them from twitter.

(Death threats of course are an extreme case, in which even banning someone from a platform can be justified.)
If rehabilitation were a goal, the US could learn a lot from other countries how to do that. I don’t see that happening though. So I conclude the system has other more important goals.

The usual complaint about rehabilitation methods seems to be that they compromise the deterrence or retribution aspects.
There are plans to use this cycle with coal, but it would be gasified first and the syngas cleaned up.
I'd rather not answer any personal questions, but basically the benefit of not selling out on that front doesn't seem justified, given my marginal impact. My point is not so much everyone should share my position, merely make it clear my belief that the majority of people think the way I do, and any plan without acknowledging that reality is doomed to fail. Doesn't matter how charismatic a leader or airtight scientific studies you show, you are asking a LOT in terms of opportunity cost if you are recruiting for an organization trying to "solve a problem" without a potential windfall at the end of it and you should realize that.

Welcome to the trough of disillusionment. It will pass.
How much time do you spend on social media - including HN - per day?
Yep. The Nikon 50mm 1.8 is such a steal and provides for amazing photos.
50mm fixed is a mainstay for many, many photographers - even professionals. When I started shooting all of my teachers/mentors pushed me to get a fast 50mm as a first lens due to the versatility and affordability. If you're doing anything with portraiture it's a must-have IMO.

I can't live without mine!
At the office like twitter, printers are already set up on your work laptop for you.

You basically chooses a printer (there are 10s of them) and click print.

Literally a minute of work.

Also, you are lucky. Visa employees need to print stuff from time to time for h1b, green card, and citizenship. And you bet it. They print it at work because nobody has printer at home.
>It turns out that they have even quietly filed a patent for a hydrogen car that can drive 2,000 kilometers on a single tank.

It does not appear that this is an empirical demonstration, just a claim, so I'd say that your concerns are pretty reasonable.
I keep wishing that someone will make something like this (since my frontend skill is not up there). CSS certainly can get close to the metal via the GPU API.

On another note, folks should stop using any time series chart library if it's written on top of SVG. Eventually your time series will grow dense and Canvas is the only way out.
They are probably trying to reduce SIP abuse. It's a big problem.
I’m surprised the 8 track cassette was still good. I remember finding an old box of 8 tracks in the late 80s and they were disintegrating. Assumed they weren’t built to last for decade plus. But maybe those were just stored poorly.

At 18 not a lot of young adults (which are not kids), commit first degree murder. I really hope you're not intending to characterize intentionally killing another human being as "kids being kids ".

> A more acceptable degradation would have been to say "the Pantone colours have been replaced with approximations matches in CMYK/RGB/whatever. If you save the file again, the Pantone data is stripped out."

I don't quite think Adobe would be allowed to do that though. If what Adobe was previously licensing on your behalf was the translations from Pantone codes to RGB/CMYK and the files saved with Pantone colors only have Pantone codes, then the best you could do is list the missing colors and ask the user to manually substitute in color choices from available color spaces for each missing color.
It’s getting to the point where it isn’t the boomers but their heirs that will benefit. The least we could do is eliminate the step up basis at death rule …
I lived on Chicago’s south and west sides for years. Volunteered with youth at the Boys and Girls Club for much of that time - and did everything I could to raise money for that organization and more.

I can have sympathy for the boys who are drafted into drug work, age 11, and I can personally want the legal systems’ incentives to change while ALSO understanding that some people will choose to be rotten nearly every time. I’m not making an argument for the “carceral state” or one in support of the US’ present prison system. Just making clear my observation that far from everyone is a “victim” of the system and acting like they are hurts the real victims on both sides.
Carplay lets me use the car to control audio with the car controls instead of the phone. That’s a big non-distractor. Your comment tells me that you have never actually used CarPlay (and perhaps that Android Auto is not so good—I wouldn’t know, I always assumed it was roughly equivalent to CarPlay in features and functionality). My phone doesn’t notify me about text messages when I’m driving and with the Prius, if I want navigation, CarPlay is the thing. Having the nav on the big display instead of the little display (which would be well out of the normal peripheral line of sight if it’s sitting on the wireless charger) is again an improvement in safety.
That would only works if the other end can push 25gbps as well. I wonder what's the maximum throughput of various cloud storage services commonly used for off site backups (S3, B2, etc). Would they artificially limit the max bandwidth or allow you to go as fast as possible?
> Stocks prices are in large part dictated by corporate profits

I've also worked for a company with negative profits and a positive stock price which is also one of those things that tends to confuse me. (I'm aware that I'm pretty obtuse, but it's not all an act - I really don't get how much of the modern economy works.) I understand that the expectation is that profits will turn positive/grow over time, but that would seem to require the ability to accurately forecast the future, which seems problematic.

Way too much of the modern economy looks to me like the South Park "Underwear Gnomes" model which you see memeified sometimes - the step 1: steal underpants, step 2: ?, step 3: profit, thing.
We aren't talking about studio or generally professional photography are we... But yes, the longer the lens the more emotional distance. A wide lens puts the viewer right in the middle of the action.
Diesel vehicles begin to fail at about -10ºC so -40º is an improvement there.

There are extreme temperature vehicles that can handle below -40º with tank heaters and other things, but my gasoline cars started just fine at -40º and they weren't even garaged.
Ah, yes. The classic "all our customers are morons" approach, with no opt-out for those 0.1% who, in fact, are not. Very typical among ISPs/Telcos.

Where I am, we used to have a different, "nerdy" ISP [0], where customer was allowed to bring their own modem; they also provided real IPv4/v6 dual-stack since forever, easy to request a /29, tech-support that's realistic to reach, and staffed with people who know what they are talking about, no bulk-firewalling port-25, etc... All for a modest 2x price increase over market average. Alas, they're out of business now.

All managers should know everything relevant; all people should be perfect. But meanwhile, no one is, and this post is useful advice for reality.

I cannot claim to know everything I "ought to" know for my job, and I don't expect my manager to either. But that doesn't make me, or management in general, "useless". We do what we can.
