>They're up if you compare whole system emissions for the car vs. Emissions at a ff plant.

The sleight of hand is in the definition of "emissions".

If you mean CO2 - then no, not really. If you are powering your EV with a fossil-fuel powered grid, then the transmission and battery losses make up for the small gain in power plant efficiency over an ICE (as I already said). The CO2 argument for an EV only works when the grid has a substantial "green generation" component.

If you mean "emissions that are immediately bad for people" - it depends who you are talking about. EVs replace tailpipe emissions at the point of use with centralised emissions, both at the point of manufacture, and at the point of charging power generation (which will most likely be in a Western country with well-controlled emissions). As a cyclist, I have to admit it's nice not to breathe in tailpipe fumes. I try not to worry too much about all the damage being done by EV manufacture far far away from me.

I'm assuming there is some sort of encryption, but if the software can transparently decrypt the data to access it, then what is to prevent someone stealing the key from the software?

How is this affected by wiretap and privacy laws, where you would need the consent of other people in the room?

At home, I certainly don't want something recording every sound.

Even at work, I don't want everything recorded. Sometimes people need to communicate freely and discretely, e.g. your manager says to you like "Don't prioritize the CEOs request. It's a bad idea and won't go anywhere. If he asks you, we're working on it. I'll deal with the fallout later."

I’m not too sure about that. The NYC drops their old subway cars into the bay. So it depends on how the ships or vehicles are disposed: https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/earthisblue/wk208-shipwrecks-ha...

I'd guess only a small portion of people actually care for that feature. People are maybe better at remembering what's in their files by name alone than we give them credit, or willing to just look through things to find them, or are better organized via folders than we might assume.

Well, as a Firefox user, I would say that Firefox has become way better over the last few years. It's super fast. It actually blocks ads. It syncs beautifully with Firefox on Android.

Some side projects felt useless. Some feel quite relevant to the goal (e.g. Mozilla VPN), some grew to become huge (Rust). Some were maybe an amazing idea at the wrong time (Firefox OS?). I wouldn't want Mozilla to stop doing any side projects.

What's so bad about MV3? Would love to hear your take. Mozilla made it clear it will not adopt changes that prevent extensions like uBlock Origin from working. Many other changes seem to be focused at user security (which is good), and other seem to just follow the "standard", which one can argue is quite important from the perspective of users too, because the fact that extensions can be easily built for Chrome and Firefox together is effectively _the reason_ some of the extensions I use are even available on Firefox.

Google poisoned the science cmty, which now amplifies its disinformation [video]
> This video debunks 4 dangerously misleading scientific papers, all with a Google co-author, that denigrate the urgent need for massive audits and investments in security and ethics.

> How do you ensure that the clerk isn't just accepting false businesses and giving a percentage to whoever's above?

What do you mean by a “false business”? Here in the US the state of Nevada have not asked me anything except Articles of Incorporation (the state of California later found my file and… also has not asked me anything except $800 a year - which exactly what I was hoping to avoid by filing in Nevada, lol). Number of federally required papers was 0 (zero).

Federal regulations in Russia required much more paperwork. But the libertarian city council in Troitsk just deliberately didn’t care to add anything to the pile. Bad documents - it was actually a problem for the business being registered. If federal regulators caught a discrepancy- the business will be in a huge trouble. So checking the documents- it was nothing more than a service provided by a city council to the company being registered. If the documents were inconsistent - the business will complain.

This setup really worked, as I said in the original post. It’s not a theoretical suggestion.

Vercel is an evil company in disguise.

I’ve understood this and stopped using Next with all the enabled by default and intentionally difficult to disable metrics collection system they have in Next.

Having it enabled by default, without asking is already evil enough.

Refusing to have a setting you can easily commit into the repository to turn it off is next level.

They trick people with the “just set this env var” to turn it off, and rely on people doing it wrong, forgetting to do it in certain environments, etc. it’s intentionally complicated, when a frigging Boolean setting in next.config.is would be better. They refuse to do it. That’s what evil companies do.
You're basically asking "who's going to give me money for nothing?" Forgetting for a while the fact that it's THE holy grail of most of working population (and hence can be rather difficult to obtain), government jobs are your best bet, as it has the most inefficiencies. For example, the lady who sells tickets in a local museum in my city seems bored out of her mind, as there are basically no visitors there.
I collected Israeli election results from gov.il, but they were a mess, so I had to clean them up. I also eventually found official geodata for the Israeli municipal boundaries, and joined them with the election results. Finally, I created a Shiny app in R putting it all together, using the Leaflet R package to make the interactive map.

The only major downside is how long it takes to initialize...

Websites that are setup like SPAs (single page apps) can do this. It's just something that has to be built-in to the app, not the browser.

A single page app can refresh or redraw just the portion of the screen that has changed -- and they can do it without even calling the server. This definitely makes web apps feel "zippier" and more like desktop apps.

If looking for new data from a server, a single page app can redraw just the portion of the screen where the data on the server is different from what's already drawn, and this also improves responsiveness.

Here's some more about SPAs in general [0] and an article I wrote about developing with web components [1] which is a modern way to build them:

Consider the end user experience; would you want to use an app that crashes? Poor performance can be forgiven(especially if the end user doesn't have anything to compare against) but an unstable app will automatically be worse than any other alternatives. I would recommend troubleshooting to find out why code assertions are causing a crash because to me that's an indicator of a larger problem.

Open communication can also help manage the end user expectations. I personally like and have been inspired by the Dev blogs for the game Factorio. For example here is a blog post from them about their new(at the time) Crash log uploading feature that some people weirdly didn't like.

> We're running Linux on computers bundled with Windows out of the box.

No all of us are. Fortunately, it's not the 90s, let alone the early 00s. We have the option of buying Linux preinstalled. It would be nice if we didn't collectively squander the opportunity.

The wider point, though, is spot on. Hardware should obey its owner, not the company or companies that made it. Fortunately, the hardware that best supports Linux also often best supports user modification, so the two interests go well together.
This was a pivotal moment but the conflict has roots even beyond that.
Fair, though in my case (which is insignificant and out of the norm) I've always wanted AI robots, as a kid I loved watching Dexter's Lab and seeing him make robots to do things. I'm also okay with a really powerful AI assistant beyond what we have today. I tried using AI assistants a few times, but I always end up shutting them off for either privacy concerns or just get tired of figuring out the word soup to make them work. I really want to see an AI assistant that is insanely capable and fully offline first, so maybe something like Mycroft, not sure how fully capable it is without reaching out to the internet though, but I assume it has some capabilities without being online.

In my eyes, AI is something that could pass the Turing test without fail, ever because it knows how to communicate how we do, and think like we do.
I think it's just someone unhappy that they used to be able to edit resolve.conf before systemd-resolved took it over. I recall being annoyed about it as well, but that was some time ago.
I really enjoyed the post till this:

> Whilst I enjoy this kind of tinkering, it was disappointing that a "Dev Kit", built for developers can neither boot Linux, nor enable a custom Linux Kernel for WSL2.

> What's that I hear Hacker News and Reddit cry? "It's a Dev Kit for Windows, you moron!" That may be the case, but Microsoft "Loves Linux", and clearly has worked hard to make WSL2 available out of the box on these devices.

If something is named "Dev Kit" does it have to revolve around supporting a monoculture right out of the box? Secure boot is trivially unlockable, and Microsoft is losing money on the R&D and probably hardware as well. Someone will probably figure out how to get Linux natively running.

Looks like they're just not happy that they're not able to immediately (ab)use the hardware meant for Windows on ARM developers for dozens or hundreds of cheap CI/CD machines for their commercial operation, which would prompt MS to raise the price for everyone or make it closed for verified Windows devs only(like Xbox Dev kits).

I respect the grind, and Hacker News is all about using and abusing hardware in unintended ways, but I don't like the attitude and expectations in the quoted parts that everything should revolve around their niche use case of being able to run cheap CI/CD servers just because it has dev in it's name.
SystemD fundation basement was a Linux implementation of the MacOS LaunchD. It was a step forward over the traditional init managers, but in any case disruptible over something new, because an equivalent design was running on Apple devices time before.

Most people don't seem to understand what the problem is because social media is a circus sideshow for them so they don't see the censorship, while those whose opinions align with those doing the censoring really don't see what the problem is because they can't imagine the tables could ever be turned on them.

Tl;dr: it boots OpenBSD successfully already, so getting Linux to run can't be that hard even though mainline support is obviously not here yet. Someone will figure out how to boot a Linux kernel on this, probably the PostmarketOS or Asahi folks.

Tagging, seems like a solution. But isn't.

Specific problems with tagging:
- Need to tag every file (whereas in folders, you just navigate to the folder and everything you store there is in that folder)
- Takes too long
- Too much thinking overhead (at the time of storing)
- To be effective have to enter the name for all tag entries (e.g. project, type, etc.). If anything is missed for a file, that file will never be found.
- You have to remember what tag categories (e.g. project, type, etc.) you have used. If you don't use in 3 months, now you have forgotten.
- You have to remember the enumeration you are using for some tag categories (e.g. for type you might decide to use only photo, video and music. Now you have to remember that. You also have to remember its "photo" not "image")
- If tags were the solution, they would have already been used everywhere. The tagging system SEEMS like a good solution, but once you go deeper, it just doesn't work.
I think I can say the following.

Smaller transistors mean fewer electrons that go in and out every clock cycle, so less power per transistor.

Higher clock frequency means more cycles per second, that is more electrons spent per second thus higher power consumption.

Since clock frequency has stabilised and the total area of a chip is I think not much larger than before, it is expected to see the power consumption stabilising.

I also believe I read somewhere that one of the reasons clock frequency stoped increasing was that the power consumption became too high for the chips to handle the thermal dissipation.

Big O can mean a lot of things. People often only think of BigO in terms of cpu cycles but it can be applied to memory and network just as easily.

Consider a piece of code that grabs a set of records and then loops over them to get an association for each one. I've seen this kind of code in code reviews from juniors. its a good starting point where I start showing them how to rewrite their sql call to get the associated record via join so it goes from O(n) network calls to O(1)
tl,dr:

* Partitioning files into folders is most likely wrong: Most things need to be in multiple folders.

* (Sidenote: Symlinks are not a good solution)

* Tagging would be best but no good support from the OS for metadata

China's GDP growth consistently out-paces the US. Canada continues to do well. Germany has consistently positive GDP growth with a few exceptions related to international downturns. And, of course, if you're talking about countries that use economic stimulus, you'll have to include the United States, which has the largest GDP in the world. I think your claim requires a tighter definition of "economy" and "do poorly" to hold merit.

Everybody is doing more poorly than growth estimates, but (a) COVID just happened and (b) everyone always does worse than growth estimates; growth estimates are the rewarded metric and therefore incentives are high to over-estimate it in extrapolation as another form of incentive (i.e. aim higher than you want to hit).

I read the FT and occasionally Bloomberg, but find them most valuable for dull, sterile corporate and financial news (which interests me).

I do read a lot about the Ukraine war - I can't resist - but I do so in the full knowledge that the first casualty of war is truth.

That said, I remember back in the early days of the war, when the media was flush with stories of Ukrainian resistance and Russian blunders, there were a lot of "enlightened" voices dismissing it all as wishful thinking and asserting that Russia would, in fact, steamroll Ukraine soon enough. Such comments have aged poorly. People can point to the fact that Russia still occupy large parts of Ukraine but it can scarcely be denied that the war has gone much worse for Russia, and much "better" (militarily and relatively speaking of course) for Ukraine, than most would have predicted in February.
The reciprocal value of access to maintainers
I have used all the alternatives, and written my own init systems from 0.

Systemd is really well designed and makes Linux workstation use predictable and more secure across distros in numerous ways. You can have any service you want now, even xorg/ wayland, as an unprivileged user. It basically removes all need to use root if used correctly.

Systemd however is however not designed for server use, but neither is OpenRC or any of the alternatives. Servers filesystems should contain a kernel, a shim init binary, and a static binary for a target service.

When you want to upgrade your fleet you compile a new bundle of those three things into a new filesystem image and boot servers from the new image.

The energy crisis in Europe is very real. But the problem is the fossil fuels that have been cut off because of Russia. If the supply from Russia were not cut or if the EU had increased production from renewables faster in the past decade then this situation wouldn't have arisen. There is ample wind, solar and hydro energy potential left. We've accessed a small fraction of it.

Now Europe has been shaken and will hopefully learn the lesson and become completely independent in terms of energy in the next decade or two.
And, of course, we're ignoring the elephant in the room if we don't mention the Internet started as a government project.
That's a stretch and it is hard to get a home loan in your first years. It is true that when searching for a rental you will probably come across landlords that don't rent to foreigners, and more that won't rent to Chinese people. Many landlords also expect you to speak at least some Japanese.

That being said, it's competitive only for average sized/priced places. Both low end and above-average properties are easier to rent.

> We have the option of buying Linux preinstalled. It would be nice if we didn't collectively squander the opportunity.

Of course you're right, but all hardware is certified for Windows at the design stage, and only a subset (EliteBook, ThinkPad, XPS, etc.) is designed and verified against Linux kernel. Kernel needs to workaround a great deal of cut corners or shenanigans (incomplete ACPI tables, anyone?) to be able to function on these systems.
Why?

Sincere question - AFAIK, Raspberry PI OS is a Linux distribution like any other, with dependency/distribution issues like any other. Why would using Docker on it be a sad state of affairs, in contrast to using it on any other distribution?
