I was under the impression that mullvad was best-in-breed. A lot of bad VPN companies running around these days and Mullvad is a clear HN favorite.

Not trying to be snarky, but it might be that I don't get what you mean: I just look at the street name, which is posted on every street? I've never been anywhere that has no address at all, but I guess in those situations it wouldn't make any difference if I only knew roughly (like when I'm camping?).
With 33% of the severance that the 'non-clickers' got just last week too.

Why would anyone re-join Twitter2 or get hired there?

Why are the people that got put on the PIP doing anything but trying to find another job?

You know Elon's just going to abuse you and not much else, he's proven it a few times now. It's very clear, he thinks you're a chump and he's going to keep treating you like a chump.

Interestingly enough that's cheaper on Amazon than AliExpress:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802919678760.html

^ You have to click on the 1000/6000 grit to see the price of $26.53.

Pretty much everything people buy is cheap Chinese crap anyhow.
I've seen many arguments about getting laws on the books around ML learning. I would suggest people create a project that creates movies using ML and train it using existing Hollywood movies. I realize this isn't easy but the issue needs to be pushed to people that have the means to force change.
I got what you meant.

But apparently people agree with the >$600k/hour costs [1] it takes to process Bitcoin transactions.

This cost is taken from the Bitcoin price (via miners selling) and from transaction fees.

Therefore, they must think they are getting at least that much value out of the system.

I've got to admit I have no idea how his experience is relevant to Twitter. But apparently he's working for free. (Well, cost of living in San Francisco, which is not nothing, but it's not gaining him financially.) I'm not surprised Elon is happy to hire someone of Hotz's fame and skill as an intern.
I'm pretty sure Safari does this, as returning to a heavy tab (say, google sheets) after a long period of it having been in the background takes a few seconds on my 2015 MacBook Pro. I assume that time is spent deserializing the tab’s state.
Having a bunch of computers that don't trust each other all performing random calculations to find a specific hash and then add a small block of data to a globally duplicated append only data structure that processes about 7 transactions per second is pretty useless.
Poor quality and potentially unsafe.

Sunset clauses often just end up wasting everyone's time at best, and a common worst case is it creates a platform for political brinkmanship and grandstanding around passing an extension that should be straightforward.

> Now Amazon is nothing more than AliExpress with faster shipping. Shame.

This.

Once i realized what was taking place on amazon I simply moved to AliExpress. I mean if i am going to get something from there anyhow i might as well save the middleman fees and take the hit on shipping.

I canceled my prime membership a while ago as well. I don't see how amazon can continue to simply be a front end for AliExpress for long. Wont most simply avoid the added fees and go to Ali directly?
The government is the ultimate safeguard for a whole society, where it should be the steward of common-action when individual action can't be trusted on due to a combination of perverse incentives and issues arising from the tragedy of the commons.

Without that you have an anarchic lawless society where individualism can flourish and people can exploit whatever they want without regards for the 2nd, 3rd, n-th order impact that an action might cause unto others, because it's invisible or severely hidden to them. Or that they simply don't care about said impact because their personal reward is worth more to them than the benefit of society as a whole.

> If you have above average income, most likely you will have above average outgoings, including on things you can't instantaneously cut like housing costs, car finance and school fees.

Not to mention if you have costly medical conditions or past medical debt to pay, if you have college debt to pay, if you're financially supporting your parents, if you are paying for past judgments, alimony, or child support... There are a lot of valid reasons for not being able to save, despite having a high income, that have nothing to do with living like a wealthy person.

Excellent idea! We need an interoperable format to break the monopoly of the forges like Github, but it will only gain traction if it is integrated in git itself the way it is in Fossil. Have you been in touch with the Git maintainers to see if they are open to the idea?

I just finished reading The Master Switch by Tim Wu. It includes the history of broadcasting including why it took so long for FM radio to succeed.

According to him, Sarnoff and Armstrong were friends at some point and RCA financed the development of FM radio initially although they just wanted a more efficient AM network.

Huh, wow, really cool! For the most part it's excellent (in English), however I notice that quotation marks (both single and double) are handled strangely.

> I've also been to a cardiologist for a thorough examination and was told that there was nothing wrong with my heart and it's job is to beat and I should accept it.

Do you know what they checked specifically? There are many things that can cause an elevated resting heart rate such as thyroid issues and anaemia. Or it might be related to any medication you take or things like caffeine / alcohol consumption.

In my experience doctors generally don't worry too much if you're only just outside of normal ranges, but that doesn't mean something isn't wrong / suboptimal with your health. I'm not blaming doctors for this, at the end of the day they only have so much time and they can't waste time trying to obsessively optimise the health markers of every person they see. But that doesn't mean you can't.

For example, hyperthyroidism can cause both panic attacks and a high resting heart rate. Even if your doctor tested you for hyperthyroidism it's still worth knowing if you're own labs because like I say, if they're only slightly high your doctor is quite likely to overlook it as it's not an immediate risk to your health, but slightly high can still cause problems for some individuals.

Personally a high resting heart rate is something I'd be very concerned about because it will take years off your life. You really want it in the low normal range of around 60-70bpm.
No, but it's a contributing factor, using up all the power consumption of a small country. Turn off crypto mining, they can turn off a few dozen fossil fuel plants.

But it's a variant of Parkinson's Law in action; new energy production is gobbled up by whatever industry. We're building huge offshore windmill farms, but their capacity is bought up by datacenters.

We don't need more green energy per sé; we need to reduce consumption wholesale.
Can't take criticisms of where Twitter is heading from bluechecks like this, I mean they're not a celebrity, they're not a politician, no one is trying to impersonate a author of books about coding mobile apps... why do they have one? Only reason I can see is they likely had a friend at Twitter at the right time.

These people have everything to lose under Elon's plan because they had special privileges on the network and now those will be open to everyone so they're bound to be salty about the whole thing.

Only so many times I can be told the sky is falling at the app via the app itself.
tangential question, does buying an electric truck seem like it would make sense due to lower fuel costs?

Now, if I had a $1B to disrupt that industry with some Uber model…
$1 Trillion Climate Plan Gains Momentum
The government should step in when the market can't serve the needs of society, in this case it's cryptocurrency enthusiasts and profiteers not paying for the externalities, causing a detriment to society. A carbon tax scheme aimed directly at cryptocurrency could be another solution, but it sounds like something that would be way more work to enforce.
It's super fascinating to watch this unfold. The almost chaos-monkey approach of messing with everything here and there and watching how things fail and who complains. And then deciding whether or not it needs fixing. Observing how this the "online safety" system fails, reveals many details of how it used to work, details that were previously obscure. Apparently advertisers, ngos, and governments all seemed to have hotlines were they were able to control the moderation in real time.
On the same topic, in Latvian all the characters with diacritics are stripped out completely. For example, "iedzīšana" is pronounced as "iedzana", making the audio pretty funny, though hard to understand.
Instead of banning proof of work they should firewall crypto assets from the traditional financial system.

"Let crypto burn" as they say, both figuratively and in the practical sense, let them burn resources but only it they can pay for them by creating value outside their own bubble, services for which people are willing to pay. Currently the massive impetus of the resource burn is crypto speculation, the hope that a substantial part of the traditional financial system will move to crypto systems and take advantage of the low regulations. That's the major promise of crypto that's driving adoption in the traditional space, regulatory arbitrage.

Does the autodiscovery for NoMachine work on Wireguard VPNs as well?

I use, and love, Wireguard, but I think out of the box Wireguard does not support multicast. And I expect that NoMachine also depends on multicast to do its autodisovery. Probably with mDNS and DNS-SD.

Upon googling now, it does seem like some people have successfully been able to get multicast working over Wireguard. For example:

> Hey! Just in case you (or anyone else browsing this) still needs this, i've got avahi working over my wireguard client-to-site connection. I can access my home LAN computers using hostname.local from any VPN-connected device.

> I think the missing piece was adding 224.0.0.251/32 and ff02::fb/128 (multicast addresses) to allowed ips.

from https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comments/g80bxf/cant_get_...

Likewise, there seem to be some additional useful information relating to mDNS / Avahi on this issue on GitHub, for various situations:

https://github.com/lathiat/avahi/issues/262

And here is someone who got DLNA (which also uses multicast) working through site-to-site Wireguard VPN:

From the Netherlands, never heard of it. Living in germany four years now, now that you remind me, I had to dig deep in my memory (at first I thought it might mean SS somehow), but yeah someone once mentioned it's the 8th character of the alphabet and so if you associate HH with the 2nd world war, you can read something into it. Most definitely not among the first associations for me, and believe me we had enough WW2 material in school (including kids that use hitler stuff to be funny). Perhaps 88 is specifically edgy in german high schools or so? I bet if you look at other cultures, it'll mean donkey balls or some such somewhere. I've also heard a german laugh about a 1312 license plate which I'd never think to associate with alphabet offsets in my life. Would be "ieiz" or "lelz" for me, if anything.

TL;DR very far fetched and a bit pointless to go looking for these non-obvious alternative meanings, in my opinion

Replace "laws" with "features" or "lines of code" in your comment. Read it again. How much sense does it make?
Yeah I imagine it's probably not exactly a traditional code review by any stretch of the imagination. It would be interesting to know exactly what it involved though, the previous instructions (print out X pages of code, present Y "salient" lines of code) do not fill me with confidence that they are prepared to accurately assess anyone's competence or lack thereof.

I honestly wonder if it's as farcical as some of the jokes about it: https://twitter.com/mnateshyamalan/status/159372367039601869...
No, this isn’t really true. Even on a coal grid EVs are much more efficient than ICE cars. Tesla also kicked the major manufacturers into gear (finally) so in most ways it was a good investment. I think Musk is a fool and I’m disappointed in what he’s done to Twitter, but I won’t take that away from him. This does not, however, mean Tesla is essential or properly-valued going forward.

The actual question is: why was he able to walk into that area and do so much better than experienced traditional automakers. I’m starting to think that the answer is not Musk’s personal competence.

Ask HN: How do you personally use notebooks?
When I use notebooks, I mostly use it for prototyping/debugging purposes. It's a nice way to run some code, skip around and rerun some code that was previously ran. And you can show the contents of variables.

When I started to think about it, I realized I mostly use a notebook like a time-travel debugger. So maybe I should just use a time-travel debugger, if I am mostly using notebooks in place of one.
Every country in the world sets its own taxation level for corporation tax and income tax. Ireland has lowish corporation tax 12.5%, soon to be 15%) and relatively high income tax, effectively ~%50 for high earners.

Even as a small company you can avail of that same corp tax rate.

Should the Irish government demand every other country raise income tax levels to make it "fair"?

If countries were serious about wanting corps to pay tax in their state, they would just raise VAT.

The rest is just smoke.

Why not a carbon tax scheme for everyone, period? This is what I'm asking.

Yea I find when people say "ideas shouldn't be ownable" it's really the more general "deriving profit from private ownership was a mistake". Like you kinda point out, most of the reason I can think of that a person would want control of their intellectual property is to derive profit from it.

That reason has nothing to do with intellectual property or how it's created, it's a consequence of living in a capitalist society.
That sounds correct.

That said, Flutter did solve one problem better than competing alternatives in my opinion, which is that it is cross-platform and GPU-accelerated and has a small runtime.

Typical WebGL + WASM solutions need a 10 MB JavaScript download, which makes them unsuitable for regular websites. Flutter, on the other hand, is small enough to use both as a website and as an app.
I wish there were more founders and investors who came from a background of intense poverty.

Or if there is/there are people talking about it, I’m just not aware.
