This is scheduled for 2024 via IEEE 802.11bf in Wi-Fi 7 Sensing, it's passive radar that passes through the walls of homes and business, e.g. neighbors or adversaries can identify humans, activity, typing, combination locks, etc. Anything involving motion which causes Doppler shift. Hundreds of papers have been published over the past decade and it can be done with hardware that costs less than $20.

Defenses are either cat&mouse electronic warfare or shielding the walls/floor/roof of some rooms (e.g. research labs in business, industrial systems, home offices, bedrooms) with materials like aluminum radiant barrier or expensive drywall (e.g. QuietRock) designed for RF shielding of SCIFs.

I think for many people there is a clear line between free and not free, no matter whether the service costs 2$, 7$, or 100$. It's a psychological thing. On top of this, it could be 7$ now, 14$ next year, and over time you get sucked into this money pit.

A good example is Adobe products. Pre-cloud I would freely use PS/Lightroom off a CD, then got into the monthly plan for students, which turned into a full price plan after I graduated, and which sucked me into a year long contract for a certain plan.

Now I did this all willingly of course, and after 5 years I looked back and thought 'where did all that money go?' But to some degree it undermines my trust in my ability to gauge the actual value of subscription based services.
The convenience of building network clients in Go is heavily implied. Strictly you can say that assembly code can make standalone binary HTTPS endpoints, but that would be a bit silly.

To be sure you might write such a program in assembly, but you’d be doing it for fun or aesthetics. No engineering manager would commission such a thing.

Though of course this is inviting the trading maniacs to tell stories of hyper optimized clients…
This post is repugnant, and wrong as a matter of historical fact. You’re brazenly attempting to whitewash the monstrous crimes of Nazi Germany. I’ve never seen “Lost Cause of the Third Reich” historiography, and I’d never expect to see it on HN.

WW2 was an imperial war of aggression waged by a revanchist fascist state that felt entitled to land that other people were already living on, and resources other people already owned - a problem they attempted to solve by simply murdering all of them.

Boxed in? Boxed in by what, exactly? The inconvenient existence of the Czechs and Poles? Germany somehow manages to be far richer today than it was in 1933 - and it does this with less land / resources, and the overbearing influence of the Anglo-Saxon culture you openly deride. If Germany today can resist going on to murder millions of people for land and resources, it’s unclear to me why the larger and more resource-filled Germany of 1933 couldn’t similarly restrain itself. (Hint: because WW2 had nothing at all to do with any justifiable need for resources, but instead the jingoistic ambitions of a culture that saw itself as the master race, deserving of a place atop all others, and seething at its failure to secure the privileges it felt it was owed by reason of its own racial supremacy.)

Worst of all is your casual suggestion that Germany would be better off if it had retained more of its pre-1945 culture. I struggle to put this in any other way, but you’re saying you wish Germany today was culturally more like Nazi Germany, and I honestly don’t know what to say to that. As someone who would have been murdered for about three different reasons by the refined bearers of pre-1945 German culture, I have some choice words in mind.
I dropped Scrivener for LaTeX and have never been happier. Obviously, Word is a bad choice - it's not really built for publishing - but I do like the long form single-file approach. I use LaTeX's ability to write comments as a way to archive old chunks of text, leave margin notes, separate scenes for easy cut/paste, etc.

My main problem with Scrivener is that my scenes tend to be short - many under 400 words - and it just gets unwieldy to have a couple hundred of these.

It runs over UDP and doesn't respond to anything until it sees a valid key sent to it, so right there it totally removes any need for stuff like port knocking. There's no way to use passwords or low security keys so there's less brute force chance. It's basically the same as going through all those machinations to make ssh secure publically (high quality key auth only, nonstandard port, port knocking, etc) but ready to go out of the box.

That is the problem.
You live in an apartment? Who else lives on your building? In a decent sized building I bet you’re not the only lonely person. Find the other ones, and create some social thing that’s easy to say yes to.

Dinner is straightforward. Other excuses include book clubs, movie viewings, crafts, community garden, volunteering, etc.

For a dinner, if your apartment is small, use a common space. If you don’t have a common room, do it outdoors. If you don’t have picnic tables, go to a park. If you don’t cook, have a potluck. If nobody cooks, order in.

Don’t allow yourself to give up before you start. Focus on:

(1) identify a pool of people worth interacting with (Eg neighbors, hobby enthusiasts, co-religionists)

(2.a) find where those people gather and join them

(2.b) if they don’t gather yet, convene them yourself in a way that is easy for them and you.

This whole thing is absolutely work though. 2.a is way easier than 2.b.

I think with the bike fatality rate especially thats pretty skewed by the fact that no one has any education on how to ride a bike safely on the road at all. At least with motorcycles you need to take a class to prove roadworthiness. Some people riding bikes are also perhaps drunk or high, the same is true for cars of course, but consider how often you see clearly not sober/mentally unwell people riding bikes in big cities these days and how often they might end up in dangerous situations. That being said if you bike safely by taking the lane for example, and you avoid a lot of potential accidents on a bike:

It's not the name in the neovim case, it's the tagline "literally the future of vim" when vim was still being actively developed by a different group. It is IMO immoral for me to start a site called "Hacker News 2.0: The successor to Hacker News" and start telling people that I'm the next version of it and that's how that comes off to me.
> Right which is why I am saying jury nullification is bad. These situations happen because of it.

Please try to understand from my perspective.
I am trying to say the privileged won't even see trial.
If you are especially privileged, it won't even matter if you get convicted.
See the case of Michael Flynn.

Jury nullification cannot make the situation worse.
All it can do is expand the pool of people who won't have to suffer.

Remember, Congress is deadlocked.
I have no hope that we will get sensible repeals like repealing the nonsense "making false statements is a felony" [false].

[false] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Making_false_statements

> Making false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) is the common name for the United States federal process crime laid out in Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which generally prohibits knowingly and willfully making false or fraudulent statements, or concealing information, in "any matter within the jurisdiction" of the federal government of the United States,[1] even by merely denying guilt when asked by a federal agent.[2] A number of notable people have been convicted under the section, including Martha Stewart,[3] Rod Blagojevich,[4] Michael T. Flynn,[5] Rick Gates,[6] Scooter Libby,[7] Bernard Madoff,[8] and Jeffrey Skilling.[9]

This is the stupidest law I've ever heard of in my opinion.
To convict someone, you have to know they were lying.
If you can independently verify they were lying, how did their lying hurt the case?
Law enforcement just needs to do its job and not have stuff just handed to them in a silver platter.
Remember though, this common sense repeal will not happen in our lifetime.
What recourse do you have left?
If you disable password auth completely (you're using key auth... right???) most of the password bruteforcers will just go away.
I actually had to google it because I thought it had something to do with the NFL (National Football League).
More thoughts:

- The indicator is ratiometric and the exact supply voltage doesn't matter. If it works acceptably well down at the +5 V USB bus voltage, the circuit would get a lot simpler.

- I suspect that driving the circuit with a variable voltage is sufficient, and the potentiometer is unnecessarily. Then a DAC or PWM with a plain old opamp would do the job.
This guy's actions are just not particularly defensible.

He ordered not just oysters, but the whole meal by the sounds of it, with people he had just met and whose financial situation he was (presumably) unaware of. Expecting a split check is not reasonable.

Either he came from such wealth that he didn't realize people ever consider the cost of an evening out--not a particularly satisfying rationale--or he was just clueless.
Incorrect.

You are making sure your passions align with your work.

If you can find motivation beyond a paycheck and do it then you're more confident you'll enjoy it for the long haul.

Jobs are easy. Satisfaction is the hard thing.

Strictly speaking yes this is uncompensated labor but if that's all you see, let me help a bit.

What if the target is NASA, Wikimedia foundation, maybe some software for Doctors without borders? They all have salaried positions and volunteering is probably a solid way to know if it's a good fit
I don’t think this post really applies to Musk because the techniques you use to take credit outside the company (Musk’s case) are different than the ones you’d use inside the company (this post).

Edit: I mean, he does seem to be bossy and critical, but that’s more micromanagement than what this article describes, which is about being bossy toward people in a similar role in the company’s hierarchy.
On the other side of the coin, I have never had an alternate HN account (beyond maybe 1-2 throwaways with only one post or comment) so seeing the list of users that are most similar to me was interesting. I didn't see some stark similarities based on a quick peek at their comments, but it was interesting.
I wrote a book in Scrivener - loved it, but when it came to prepping it for print and various ebook formats - what a total nightmare, I couldn’t get anything to distill how I needed - really needs basic functioning templates for print and Amazon KDP etc. I want to write books not get tangled up in the tech.

If you dig deep into the origins of Nazi ideology (this book is a good source [1]) it’s obvious 99% of it came from historical European sources and regional issues. Often German thinkers but also across Europe (including France and Italy). There was enough local cultural and economic anxieties to draw from.

The Germans using America’s racial conflicts was usually mentioned in passing for analogy or for propaganda purposes. But it was hardly the ideological source of the antisemitism, German border fears, anti-Russia, and Lebensraum.

It’s trendy to compare America to 1930s Germany. But trying to spin the ideological origin of Nazi thought as being inspired by fringes of the US shows a severe lack of historical research. There was more than enough cultural sources at home in Germany.

We do real time signal processing, 3D graphics, and other systems-y stuff, so we just decided to use Rust up and down the stack. It works well for us.

Actix/sqlx isn't Rails, but it's 90% of the way there. The rich type system is liberating, and form validation is far easier with Actix/serde than rspec.
No, it's definitely not a gray area -- it's utterly anti-democratic.

What if the government only awarded contracts to companies who promised not to donate money to Democrat PAC's (or Republican PAC's)?

What if the government only awarded contracts to companies who stayed silent on gay marriage, and didn't normalize it in their advertising?

These strike at the heart of the first amendment. Companies are allowed to engage in political speech/action, and boycotting Israel is precisely that. Some people think Israel is a valuable ally, others think it's a horribly unjust and undemocratic country for its treatment of Palestinians.

The government isn't allowed to favor or disfavor individuals or companies due to their political views. That's a bedrock principle of democracy. That's what the first amendment is about. There's zero gray area in this case.
Right, I wouldn't advocate spending it all. Just a bit of moderation. It does help that by the time you're within 10 or 15 years of retirement you should mostly not need big contributions to investments, the interest ought to be doing the heavy lifting. Doesn't always work out that way of course.
Port 70h is where it went in the AT (which is what most people are probably referring to when they say "PC compatible" these days.) On the PC and XT, it's in port A0:

Thre's also another set of NMI control bits in port 61h on an AT. It's worth noting that the port 70h and 61h controls are still there in the 2022 Intel 600-series chipsets, almost 40 years later; look at pages "959" and "960" of this: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/710279?fileName=71...

The article claims lots of Alexa hardware are loss leaders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader) that didn’t lead to sufficient sales to cancel those losses.

That makes them failed products from a business viewpoint.

Of course, they would become successful from a business viewpoint if they could sell enough of them at (cost + reasonable margin), but the article doesn’t discuss whether that would be possible.

The ACLU wants to keep intelligent design out of schools [1]. ID is something the Supreme Court upheld as religious [2]

Fighting to stop censorship while also fighting to keep religious texts out of the public school system isn't contradictory to me. Also seems a little disingenuous when the religious right in the US does the vast majority of book banning.
While I have no doubt than basically anything from China is probably backdoored (and to the fault of western countries outsourcing manufacturing for cheap labour), what exactly has Huawei done?

How do we know that the Cisco equipment also isn't backdoored and if I send a few malformed TCP packets it opens up its control plane on the receiving port?

Compared to the last few decades, it seems like a strong hand banning these companies. Personally I would like all electronics and products to be made in countries that respect some level of human rights I am comfortable with, but that doesn't really seem like an option currently.
nit: One can use pointer values for marking JSON fields as optional, and thus distinguish between the 0 and nil case.

I felt similar to you initially about the difference between 0 and Null/None - I have to say that once I started modelling my APIs so that these two cases could be treated equivalently, I think the quality of my APIs improved.
The only issue is you still end up with all the issues cars have, especially the inefficiency of having people in a dense urban areas get around by standing in line 20 feet apart from eachother, which is what private vehicular traffic basically is, and of course the need for having some place to store the golf cart wherever you go on the other end. At least with bikes you can compress the peleton quite a bit at a light and they don't take up as much space to park (especially stacked vertically like in most bike hubs today), and on a bus you can probably fit a good 60 people inside at least and really maximize the ratio of people moved per square footage of roadspace consumed.
When I first moved to SF and got “tech money” I had a group of friends and we would frequently go out, someone would order some ridiculous bottle of wine or something and it was understood that we’d all just split the tab, or occasionally even play credit card roulette just for fun. It was young people being loose with their new money, no real harm being done.

My girlfriend though, was also in this group and did NOT have “tech money”. Anytime she went out without me it became an issue, because she would order herself an app and a drink while everyone else ordered champagne and caviar and then have to sheepishly request that the group itemize the bill at the end.

No real point to my story I guess. Just a memory.
Good points. People also seem to forget that the JVM's introspection and monitoring capabilities are second to none.
I wish more resource were available on the part most of these leave out. Emitting the AST into machine code or IL, or instead integrating with llvm. Seems these articles all assume people would only be interested in parsers and interpreted non-compiled languages.
Covid definitely was a game changer for us (I am married). It reduced the number of in-person contacts with people outside our household by an order of magnitude, decimated the number of car miles we drove, and changed our attitude to being at home. Even as Covid is now somewhat less of an issue, some of those habits have stuck.
I'm also confused. It's my understanding that staff engineers are responsible for taking the software into a certain technical direction. "Upper management" related to engineering. Wouldn't that automatically involve managing those engineers who are involved with the project(s)?
Oh, we can absolutely debate their value as an ally.

And if a union wants to boycott Taiwan, or Canada god forbid, they probably should have the right to do so.

It gets a bit more complicated with buyers however, what happens if companies do not want to 'sell to' groups, like 'Republicans' or 'LGBTQ advocates' etc..

I think we probably ought to err on letting people decide who they want to sell and buy from and then be very careful when we interject on that, with a difference to protecting individuals rights, and from specific kinds of harm and/or arbitrary treatment.

Which is all a bit different from the government itself deciding who and who not to buy from.

Nothing. And in fact that’s exactly what happened to me. Some fella from HN spawned like 45 simultaneous wget’s in a loop to cause maximum financial damage. All of a sudden we see Firebase’s cost graph go vertical.

So there’s at least one person who will do exactly this just for fun.

Firebase customer support was super cool about it, but it still knocked us off the paid tier.

Participate in protests boycotting Israel or try to protest any Israel government policy, you will be blamed for boycotting and your company needs to terminate you if they want to continue doing their business, otherwise government will impose a sanction to your employer, then everyone will try to avoid your employer.

Not disagreeing at all, but there is another angle to it as well. Russia wages war with any country that attempts to serve as an alternate conduit of energy to Europe and break the Russian monopoly on energy sales there. Syria, Georgia, Ukraine all tried to serve as conduits of energy pipes from elsewhere. US wants to help the good guy, but also, if US doesn’t provide some energy alternatives to Europe, Putin will bend Europe over with high prices. Worse he has been using social media heavily since 2014 or so to break up the EU, so there would be no united negotiating front against him with sanctions.
