Doesn't work, it is not recursive and it was a CRC, not SHA1 but I probably could have found a solution starting from there.

Anyways, it was a long time ago, maybe I will give PowerShell a retry at some point.
More importantly, the areas are preserved now, not being restored to their former glory. Many of the stones were carted off and used in other buildings, with the rest sitting at the base of the pyramid.
The pins are on the outside making it easy to visually inspect for damage, or obstruction. With USB C a bit of conductive debris can be in the hollow cavity in the connector and cook your hardware. Or bend pins. Watched it happen.

Also if you work in high security environments where badusb attacks are a risk, lightning makes it is even easy to inspect data delivery pins are intentionally missing before you plug in a cable to an airgapped machine.

With USB C you have to custom make complicated usb m-to-f condom devices with transparent enclosures so you can visibly inspect the PCB traces. I have worked in high security environments where these were a must.

Further lightning is simply a solid metal connector and more structurally sound. It is hard to bend pins or cause a short. I have distributed a lot of usb-c devices and watched people hand them back to me with snapped or crushed connectors many times.

I hate that Lightning was made by Apple instead of the USB standards boards.

USB Type C is a terrible connector. I literally use laptops with barrel jack power to avoid it.
What kind of full stack technologies do you use? In the JS world at least, these are all defined terms for at least some time now. The only new thing is islands, which is explained on the landing page in the section Introducing Astro Islands.

Sometimes content has terms of art, it is not their fault for assuming that the reader should know what certain common phrases and acronyms are. It's like being on Hacker News and having to have HN, YC and PG spelled out for readers; it's assumed being on HN that readers know what these are.
This is a common phenomenon with a simple solution. You should pick the most interesting book possible instead of the most useful book possible. People fall into the trap of reading books they should read instead of the books they enjoy reading. There are so many books in this world you can always find a more interesting one. If you find yourself dozing off while thumbing the pages, just put the book down and move on. You will thank yourself later for focusing on the journeys rather than the destination.
Weather forecasts are so hard for a user to evaluate... Are you going to check it every day and remember how many days it was right or wrong?

Please can weather providers just publish a headline statistic of "Our rain/no rain one day ahead forecast is right 85% of the time. That is better than NOAA (80%), Met Office (72%) and weather.com (65%)."
Ask HN: How to file your own patents?
Looking for good comprehensive resources or maybe even a good course (paid or free) to learn how to file good patents.

I am looking for quality training that does not require a full law degree to be able to write reasonably good patents.

I have a few I would like to file and the cost of doing it through an attorney is prohibitive. My only option is to learn to do it myself.

Our patent system isn't designed to be equitable at all. The power is entirely in the hands of those with tons of money, be it corporations or individuals. In the past couple of decades I have missed out on filing patents for inventions that, as recently as yesterday, I discovered large corporations implemented ten years after I came-up with the solution.

My new startup is based on new technology. I need to stop this cycle of working my ass off to develop innovations only to have no protections whatsoever from the well-financed. I am not in love with patents, yet, without them, in some domains, small entrepreneurs have no hope at all.
@pg hasn't posted on HN for two years. Can I have his username?
An editor is an editor, why on earth would it bother you that someone uses a different editor than you?

> I think they're constrained in how forthright they can be, lest they trigger a market reaction.

This is why I said that they try to be honest. Doctors are also inclined to err on the side of optimism when they are uncertain. The difference is that nobody is making conspiracy theories about doctors actually wanting to make their patients sick.

These have replaced all of my Lightning cables and most of my USB C cables.
Does the damage overweight the benefit? Would nuclear have been better?

Of course not. Unreal Engine uses a PBR pipeline as any modern engine does. If your materials look plastic it's because that how you authored them, not because of the engine.
How are public usernames related to privacy or security?
Closed "standards" are bad, but in this case even if it were an open standard the industry was forced to chose one of them so every device can use same cables and peripherals. It is not EU fault that the industry except Apple chose USB and is not EU fault that Apple decided to use USB in US.
Agreed. I actually switched to Apple Music because the recommendations had gotten so consistently bad/weird.

I wonder if it's related to money somehow, if some artists are accepting a lower cut in exchange for being placed on these playlists more frequently.
“todays profits are largely the result of past investments” is another way of saying a toddler in the C suite could print money today.

Snapchat reduces payouts for Spotlight creators
Smallstep and cloudflared do this. Sadly, both of them seem to use essentially identical client-side hacks. Smallstep is a small company that I wouldn’t trust with the keys to the kingdom, and Cloudflare seems to treat their SSH product as something thrown over the fence with nothing resembling support.

Gravitational’s Teleport seems pretty good, but it’s heavyweight and doesn’t have any pricing appropriate for small businesses.
I've been using Deno on neovim and it's been a breeze
Fine if you prefer that, but this is no reason for Apple to enforce it as the only allowed option.
Go to the Shortcuts app that comes with the phone. You can create shortcuts to do just about anything, in this case you'd make one that sets WiFi to Off and sets Bluetooth to Off. Then that shortcut can be turned into an app icon that you can just press any time.
Possibly it's a sign of new cars becoming relatively less common compared to used ones, causing higher end cars to be over represented because more well off people are the only ones buying new. Also EV's also have lots of price incentives including a complete exemption from the EU car ownership tax until 2025 which is a rather solid perk.
That or it might just be really fashionable to own to own "a Tesla" in the current year.
I switched to ProtonMail and it's amazing. The interface is pretty sleek and the messages between ProtonMail users are encrypted as well.

The only thing I don't like is their slightly buggy Android app but hey, at least it's FOSS.

The free tier is pretty generous, forces me to manage my emails better instead of letting it turn into a spam bin. I'd definitely recommend ProtonMail.
I got an amazing black tea called Alishan Black from Floating Leaves the other day. What kind of teas do you like?
Remakes are also used to train development teams on new tools. It takes the pressure of a team learning to grapple with a new engine if all of the content is already completed - there's a better scaffolding to build off of.
They sell by manipulating people into buying. Seriously stop being naive. Coca Cola doesn't need to raise awareness of its product, it's in every fridge ever. The ads are not there to inform people that Coca Cola exists, they're there to manipulate people into buying Coca Cola.
This commenter got "cut".
Get your eyes checked if you haven't lately. Your lack of focus could be more literal than you expected.

Fantastic site.
At current battery prices of $132/kwh and oil at $88/barrel, 300 TWh of batteries per decade is actually 40% more expensive than 90 million barrels of oil per day.
Very interesting data but infuriating UI.

With so much heat map display, why is there no key? For wind, red/purple are counterintuitively lower speed than orange and yellow?

Also, who do so many applications force oblique views?
853-1212 was specifically Southern California.
And they have a gusseted crotch, which combined with the 3% lycra makes them easy to climb and crouch in them (I bike in mine, and climb at the gym).
I agree, I don't see FB surviving past 5 years. On the other hand, you gotta give props to Zuck for throwing serious money at cutting edge VR research, shareholders be damned. FB will sink but VR will move forward.

One can only hope that Google (no innovation whatsoever, creepy) and Amazon (despicable dehumanizing machine) are next in line.
Okay, that makes sense.

Do people in these situations try to come up with on-demand storage at all, or is that not reasonable given the difficulty of storing natural gas?

Like, could you try and load up your idle fleet of containers (truck, ship) on the cheap or are we past that now, hence the negative price?
> This is the kind of nonsense that is produced by the US Constitution:

How Texas draws congressional districts is up to the people of the Great State of Texas.
> Your list of solutions only work for the former group.

I don’t see why this distinction changes anything. Gluing your head to an old painting is ridiculous and counterproductive either way.

If someone believes the solution to climate change is either fewer humans, or less human activity, there are certainly constructive actions they could take.
The last time the Earth was above 400ppm during the Pliocene era, when sea level was roughly 25 meters higher than today. That in itself is going to be catastrophic once the climate and the planet catch up, but there are far worse consequences and emissions are still growing.

Have you ever read about the Russian wildfires of 2010 which had a massive impact to global food prices which then triggered the Arab spring revolutions? That was a single event in a world below 400ppm but these heat waves are starting to occur with more frequency now and will have serious consequences.

The IPCC is an organization that functions with consensus and their data is awfully outdated. Their assessments generally underreport the consequences of climate change. Here's a paper from 2010 which analyzed this:

I'm a tall guy, and started feeling claustrophobic when I saw what some of the tunnel entrances looked like. I never used the measurement tool to verify, but they looked like they'd have made me prefer crawling instead of crouching.

Something that confirmed my suspicion: In the King's chamber, 'stand' next to the sarcophagus, and look behind you. I won't explain further.
So when you defend someone's words, they can't be used against you? Is that right?
And what are the chances that those Android phones with USB C actually support high speed data or video over USB C?

I'm mildly curious what client side hacks you're talking about?
Depends of what it takes to be a "US auto manufacturer". Ford has had strong sales for decades throughout europe and is routinely the biggest volume seller in the UK. Nearly all those cars were designed and manufactured in Europe and until the Focus none of the popular european models were available for sale in the US. Is is a US manufacturer doing well in Europe when it's an entirely european effort to design and build? Even if it's on the american branding?

This is likely the first time a car designed, engineered, and manufactured in the US tops european sales figures. Tesla is expanding manufacturing to China and Germany and the actual vehicles for sale in europe right now were manufactured in China, but the cars are the same as built in Fresno or Texas, but I think the point stands.
Maybe but human emissions are only half of the problem.

Prices of used cars:

...you can select the start date for the chart as early as August of 2010. Price increases starting in late 2020 don't look illusory to me.
It's also forever limited to USB2 speeds, state of the art year 2000, and can't do half the things that USB-C does. Of course that's easier to make, but don't worry, the patents notwithstanding, nobody wanted it anyway.
What do you mean? ProtonMail is free. The paid plan is for increasing storage limits.
Apparently and surprisingly, the biggest issue is not the darkness but cleaning the panels from frost and after snowfall. On the positive side, subzero temperatures increase the photovoltaic efficiency, white snow increases the amount of light hitting the panels, and the demand is highest during the cold, calm and sunny winter weather type. https://www.oulu.fi/en/blogs/science-arctic-attitude/potenti...
Thankfully, you are completely wrong.
The weirdest part of that description is that the tablet "which works on PS3 and Xbox 360" seems to have a Wii controller slotted into it.
It's 72 meters below, but it's not very big, and once it's full you'll have to wait for the water to evaporate away, I assume?

If it could be made a permanent bay of the ocean, that might make the area less of a disaster. But it seems real hard...

You intentionally ignored the first section of authoritarians. If this is a slippery slope, how do authoritarians get their power of not through a slippery slope?

If you actually cared about people and a zero covid policy would you would move there or isolate yourself forever so you can’t infect anyone even if you really vaccinated? I got my vaccine but I don’t pretend it prevents corona, the only zero covid policy is what China is doing. Do you support them?
I don't think that holds if you read the first paragraph of the article. Fool's Theory, a separate studio, is doing the remake in UE5; not CDPR. With that said, this will allow Fool's Theory to help as a support studio for Witcher 4 after the remake since they'll be using the same toolset.
I wonder how this will change (if at all) for events like Mystery Hunt (January 2023). A large portion of folks are alumni, or friends who have been hunting for a long time but never attended MIT.

I really like the irony of this. The creator of node is fighting node now. Good jobs guys! You are doing nice job with deno.
This is kind of the purpose of the "50% chance of rain" things. The process is called calibration and is usually done with linear regression, and it means that in historical forecasts, the actual outcome was rain 50% of the time. Surface precip is notoriously hard to predict, so this is what we've got right now.
Maybe westerners alread damn themselves that they largely exaggerated with the Chernobyl incident for poltical 'system'-reasons, now that building new power plants becomes necessary?

Of which nuclear ones are an obvious alternative?
Nothing wrong with that, except the day $100-200k/day you’re paying for charter…
'something' and 'something'. So you have no actual ideas then.

As for living, perhaps you will - do you think you might wish you weren't?
Popular might be a stretch, but they had their audience. I played Witcher 1 shortly after it came out and I bought the collectors edition of Witcher 2 on release. So there were definitely fans out there. But it definitely wasn’t popular in the way that, say, Mass Effect (which came out around about the same time) was popular.
This is 100% how I feel.

Too many of these companies have dark patterns for canceling your subscription (or hoping you forget you have one) that I actively stay away from most services that I can't just use an IAP with. This is largely thanks to all of this being consolidated in a single UI where with just a couple clicks (without ever needing to open the app and dealing with their marketing or 20 questions) I can cancel a subscription.

Apple will email me when a yearly subscription is about to bill, clearly telling me how I can manage or cancel it (again outside of the app).

I understand why businesses may not like this, but as a consumer I value this heavily (and yes I do find myself annoyed by what I often hear also being in the tech industry).

At the same time for individual digital purchases I don't want to give every company my credit card. I would much rather that go through Apple.

I understand the concern about the "30% cut" but I wish these companies would also realize that I (and I assume many others) spend more money though my phone because I can do it through Apple where otherwise you would not be getting my money in the first place. So its 70% or nothing from me. Especially when there are alternatives that will be more than happy to take that money from me.

That doesn't mean that I don't use my credit card in some places. But those are for physical items. Likely at stores that already have my credit card in the first place.

At the end of the day, it is Spotify that is choosing to make customers jump through hoops. They chose to enter this market knowing that this will be an issue (if they did not expect this issue... honestly fire whoever decided to go into this market).

Yep, and Constitutions define these privileges and make them supreme, above other laws.
The problem is that people are talking about the letter and not the message contained within it.
The only other contender that is even worth mentioning is compressed gas, but it seems to have neither the capacity nor the efficiency of a large hydro deployment.

The largest pumped storage station in the US has a storage capacity of 24,000 MWh:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_County_Pumped_Storage_Sta...

There's an underground hydrogen storage project underway in Delta, Utah with a capacity of 300,000 MWh:

https://www.powermag.com/massive-utah-hydrogen-storage-proje...

It would take 22 Deltas to overtake the world's largest pumped storage plant, a massive Chinese installation with 6.6 terawatt hours of storage capacity:

https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/01/04/state-grid-of-china-s...

Still, potential underground hydrogen capacity is tremendous, amounting to thousands of terawatt hours in Europe alone:

Legally speaking because it's in your contract. Ethically it's because when you agree to a full time position you are agreeing to make your time available, with reasonable allowances. Again, it's completely fine to make a different arrangement if that's clear up front.

Unless you are somehow working them in totally offset hours, or you have _literally_ zero meetings and work in a completely asynchronous environment, then you need to disclose.

But that's not true for an overwhelmingly large number of people. You aren't just being paid for output, you are also being paid for time.
> But you have nothing better to suggest.

What other methods have these people tried that have failed? How do you measure the success of this method in terms of achieving desired results? Is there data that shows traditional marketing is less effective at achieving the particular aim of this cause; whatever that aim is (because I'm not sure).

In terms of just spending money to stop climate change; do you have data to show that this method is more effective than spending the money on green energy research or other direct funding?

It seems incredibly vague to say that "working within the system doesn't have any effect" but I'd love to see the data that this is more effective than putting ads on TV in terms of actually getting people to support your cause.
Congrats on the launch! I do have a quick bit of feedback based solely on looking at the website:

Seeing a clearly fake testimonial immediately makes me lose trust in your product. It was pretty obvious the images in your testimonials were stock images, and a quick reverse image search confirms this (https://tineye.com/search/2f7aa5f73e0cee27b9ff54b1ad29cc8353...).

You obviously put a lot of work into your product, and it'd be a bummer to turn people off for something like that.
> manipulating someone so as to make them question their own reality.

That's what he did. Telling users it is their own fault that he had to take their names and sell them. You were causing issues, because you did not log in for three months.
Is it projected what the eventual performance loss will be long term? Honestly if it's at least 80% of native and lets me use the same binaries across all architectures and in the browser, I'd probably consider it worth it.

You're probably right when it comes to scale though. Portability is more important for apps than services.

That said, it would be cool to be able to develop a Rust service locally on my x86 machine then deploy a working/signed artifact directly to ARM servers.
This perspective is of critical importance. I wish more dialog and studies were devoted to it's exploration.
Perish the thought, society will lose just as much as they have gained from this organization.
