Within engineering, there is this weird dominant culture that fresher information is more likely to be accurate.

Sometimes, that's right, because a lot of tech changes so quickly that a three year old article about is now hopelessly out of date since v5 deprecated v3 syntax.

For a lot of other articles, I'd rather read an authoritative, well-written article that was published 40 years ago. Nothing material has changed in the intervening period, so it doesn't matter.

Google just doesn't seem to know when I value quality over freshness, so it defaults to the latter most of the time.
It's an ancient website, although it's both a bit too specific and not specific enough.

An example of insufficient specificity: "rubber". Both silicone rubber and SBR are rubbers, but they behave very differently (and almost nothing bonds silicone). Another example: "plastic". Again, this spans both easily-glued materials such as ABS, and hard-to-glue commodity plastics such as HDPE or PP, where almost nothing sticks.

An example of excessive specificity: pretty much everything else. Low surface energy materials aside, gluing ceramic to plastic isn't hugely different from gluing metal to ABS. The real question for most gluing projects is whether the joint needs to be flexible, how much of a gap you need to fill, and how good it needs to look.
Quite a few of the early concrete towers are still standing in northern Illinois. There are also old tower sites not on the article's map in my area. I suspect many towers around here get new leases on life for data links, and the old long-distance switching center outside Norway, IL still has a mast with an impressive number of antennas.
Consistency is the only thing that matters. You would not be happy if things would shuffle in the retail store every time you go in, would you? Of course, there are things that are shuffled around, but you can always count on fresh-produce, milk, meat and diary to be in the same position for at least months if not years.
The response of the company when the issues of heating, vegetation, snow, and rain is... I guess I am not impressed.

> The expert added, “I’m also concerned about the lack of airflow around the module in this system design. Glass-glass modules provide a good moisture seal, but I suspect the back of the module will have very high humidity with no airflow. Damp-heat testing will be important. Not sure what other organic stuff could grow back there, like fungus or mold or things that get in the J-box,” referring to the junction box that houses the equipment that carries electricity from each panel.

> Daniel Flanigan, chief marketing and product officer at Erthos, offered this response: “No developer is going to install an Erthos system without proper diligence and all of these issues…being resolved. Yet we are engaged in over a gigawatt of pipeline.”

Okay, got it. So because people are paying for it people should pay for it. Everyone knows something no one knows.

This is the same crap allocation policy you had during the presale.

Money is maybe a sufficient discriminator, but it is not a good one. Money is very unequally distributed around the world and this basically presumes that the only legitimate use of such a domain could be in an enterprise in a first world country. Or someone rich enough to not be price sensitive at all.

Fun fact, I reserved tty0.dev as a "vanity domain" during the presale, but someone decided to pay $300 more for the joke than me. And that domain still doesn't do anything "useful".
Who is "we"? Nobody outside of PR and marketing for these companies actually thought that random chemicals were more harmful than sugar.
Our kid is just three and there's an issue with screens. Even a half hour a day of Khan Academy (currently set to 1st Grade) creates lots of whining at other times in the day for more. A preoccupation with Cars movie characters is OK with toy cars (I guess) but not when there's early morning pleading to watch it again.

But otherwise we're on the same route as you. ATM the kid is heavily into doing jigsaw puzzles on his own (60 pc is about his limit for DIY), and he likes to read to himself now and then.
This thread feels so odd to me. I studied economics and I understand things intellectually the way Walter does. LTV for sure does not work. The market decides things by marginalism.

But I also live in the real world and I think there's just a gigantic number of people who are paid something different from what they ought to be paid.

We may just be seeing the beginnings of it now in the UK, with lots of strikes about to happen.

I'm also well read enough to have heard all the arguments, sadly. It's the same over and over. "It's not a real free market" as the counterpart to "communism has never been tried". "People get paid their marginal product" is another one.

"If you don't like it, why don't you just pay the guy/government yourself" is another wiseass answer I've seen in these debates.

The orthodox economically literate answer somehow to me is not satisfying and needs some reassessment.
Unless you look sketchy, dealerships take personal checks.
Going to the other direction, I wonder what would be the maximum archieveable output per acre without height limitations.

Would you have a forest of tall towers, or one really tall panel covered building, or something in between?
My father, a dentist, told me about a patient of his with horrible teeth. The man was in his 30s and otherwise a beautiful specimen. He was a body builder with a super healthy diet. For breakfast, he only ate a grapefruit and always brushed his teeth afterwards.

And that was the problem! The acid softened his enamel and the brushing removed it.
Soda isn't made from distilled water.
Ye the difference is insane ...

Try to finnish Mega Man or Super Mario 3 (without using the cheat pipes). I mean ... did any child actually manage to do it?

As an adult I managed to finnish Sonic 2 after trying like 4 times. I could only pass one level in Mega Man.

The difficulty level were really hard core. And no easy mode either.
It would be interesting paired with some kind of heat sink.

Solar cells need a heat sink to keep them cool or else the efficiency sucks.

Deserts tend to be cold at night.

Capture heat during the day as a byproduct of using the solar panels, and use it at night for heating homes? Maybe I'm being too optimistic, usually things that improve efficiency don't actually work for some reason.
Sam Bankman-Fried: I hope to make money to pay people back
The site has existed in this format since the late 90s, when CGI was how you did these things. That it hasn't really needed to change in 20 years speaks to the quality of websites built like this, not their "shittiness".

Compare it to a site built 2 years ago with APIs and CDN-hosted assets that no longer exist.

Single threaded performance just hasn't shifted that quickly in the interim.

In order for the quad core, eight thread 960 to be slower than an Actions instance, there'd need to have been an 8x uplift in single core performance since '08. It's been more like 2x.

Not my highest paying role but I write material related to Computer Science. I've written chapters of books, online revision material, online CPD courses etc. So far it is all related to Computer Science education - the books are school textbooks, some CPD is aimed at trainee (or pre-trainee) teachers, whilst other bits are aimed at existing teachers to help upskill them. Most of the work is for well known publishers/training providers etc on a freelance basis.

I enjoy the work. I'd love to start writing/creating CPD etc for other audiences but need to figure out how.
let chatgpt answer:As Sundar Pichai, I would approach the potential disruption from ChatGPT by engaging with the team at OpenAI and other industry experts to understand the capabilities and limitations of ChatGPT. This would allow me to develop a clear understanding of how ChatGPT could potentially impact the market and the broader industry, and to identify any potential areas of concern.
Once I have a clear understanding of ChatGPT and its capabilities, I would work with my team to develop strategies to mitigate any potential disruption. This could include investing in and developing our own conversational AI technologies, forming partnerships with other companies working in the field, and staying abreast of industry developments to ensure that we are well positioned to respond to any challenges that ChatGPT or other conversational AI systems may present.
Overall, my goal would be to take a proactive approach to the potential disruption from ChatGPT, and to work to ensure that we are well-prepared to adapt to any changes in the market and to continue to innovate and succeed in the face of new challenges.
Everything in this app is very useful! I smell money!
I think there are regional differences. I noticed in Greece that Fanta has pulp or something cloudy in it. That’s not the case in the US. It also tastes more sour.

But I agree about the Zeros tasting good.
Finland doesn't have lot of motorways. So they are pretty well taken care of and possibly only risk is hitting a bridge. As there is quite wide shoulders. Add to this density is pretty low so in many parts there is not much traffic.

There is lot of highways though. And those can be middle of forest with 80 speed limit. So losing control and hitting upcoming traffic or tree is much more likely.
In general, a commercial entity will rarely use a free email service like Google mail. And the ones that do, are too small to keep you employed very long.

And yes, these scams show up anywhere there is no traceable financial history to the advertiser. Also, did you know using a staffing agent is pretty much a guaranteed %15 to %30 pay cut from if you applied directly to a company hr contact. Note too, that once you use a staffing agent, that often your CV can no longer be considered when directly submitted to a firm that also recently posted on the agents service.

Asking employees for money sounds like a ridiculous premise, and rather cheeky if it is normal in your area.

A teardrop has a "relatively flat front end" just as every rounded shape has a point where its tangent plane is vertical, even a sphere, the "less flat" shape I can think of! It doesn't mean you can place a vertical windscreen in that point and still claim you're copying a teardrop's shape.
Akka Arrh comes with the Tempest 12-in-1 cabinet produced by Arcade1up. Much to my dismay, the attract mode on this cabinet defaults to a demo of Akka Arrh, instead of Tempest. It seems like Atari wants to push more recognition of it, otherwise - what an arbitrary choice for a cabinet that also has Centipede, Crystal Castles, Missile Command, and other more celebrated titles.
For example in Spain they are the de facto payment method for real estate purchases, even though most people have not even seen a check in their lives.
I discovered Fireship and Jack Herrington[1][2] only last month.

I normally never subscribe to channels on Youtube but these 2 are so good for both getting a clear explanation on what you want to learn and keeping up-to-date with what's to come.

Do you always play on the highest difficulty? Do you play challenging single player games or competitive games? If so, and you're not satisfied, then you can always load up Super Mario on your Switch and spend most of your time replaying the same portion of the game before you get to the part that you don't have muscle memory for yet.
^ this.

I was scammed about EUR 1500 some 7 years ago. It didn’t seem a scam: the price for an item was low but not too low, the identity of the seller I could verify. But the item ultimately didn’t arrive, and I didn’t know that for italian law it’s considered an “unfulfilled contract” rather than fraud, and requires a civil rather than a criminal case, which would turn out far too costly.

But the point is: I didn’t recognize some warnings because I just had my first kid and I was stressed, overworked and sleep deprived. Shit happens.
Most NES games were silly hard too though. Not just arcade wanting your quarters.
But removing all the details and jargon that the lay person might not understand isn't even the right way to go about making the jounal articles more comprehensible to a general audience. That thows away most of the information.
Cheques are a very useful and quite secure method of transaction
(because all the security work and processing framework to prevent
cheque fraud has been in place since the 1970s).

They are slow. That's the point.

They are essentially a two factor method of instruction to your
bank. Legally (in Britain at least) one can use any reasonable method
to give instructions to ones bank. Banks that want to "phase them out"
because they are "too expensive and slow" are derelict in their
function and should be hauled over the coals by trade and industry
legislators.
> trying to block code execution against an attacker who already has kernel read/write is an utterly ridiculous idea

iOS does this. Kernel code is immutable (obviously), page tables are locked at reset and cannot be modified except by PPL code. ROP and JOP are mitigated against using hardware CFI (PAC). As you mentioned, when vendors actually understand what exploits look like and what attackers need to do, it enables them to do a good job. OpenBSD remains a system with a few good ideas and a model of what exploits look like that appears to be informed by dreams and idle musings, rather than actual research.

If the rules are not being applied equally across the political spectrum then your comment is simply obsfucation and misdirection. Completely missing the point.
Large installations usually come with mandatory ecological impact assessment requirements.
Consider the difference in borrowing costs now too. A 20% higher upfront cost means a 30% higher cost if you include financing over several years.

Opinion: Algorithm-style technical questions are (fairly) effective
I think the main thrust of the point is that we often overlook and under appreciate the people who labor on our behalf. Hopefully Covid made it more clear how essential some of the less regarded professions are.

Personally, I’d us to take care of those folks like they took care of us. The market works okay, but isn’t perfect and can miss a number of negative externalities that it doesn’t always account for - and yet the bill always comes due.
In times of worker shortages, if your workers hate your equipment, they will simply leave for a competitor who values them more.

This is basically why I quit eating or drinking anything sugary. Hours later, you can quite literally scrape off nasty white goo with your fingernail.

I'm sure neither is healthy, my teeth are browned from coffee, afterall. But I'll take acid over sugar 10/10 times.

Yes and no, yes, all the light will initially be captured but if the angle is off then a part will be reflected and if the angle is off > 45 degrees then most of it will be reflected.
Ironic and fantastic. So many good ideas are born and die with short-lived projects because no one bothered to extract and polish them as standalone solutions while the project was still alive.

In 1982 you were playing $/minute for a small local group to learn how to beat it. Today online communities share tactics. Many of the hardest ever games are routinely speed run.

The best work is indistinguishable from play. The word's too often associated with what children do ... 'merely' do. But remember how you threw your energies into it? It's great fun. The best work is the adult form of that; you return to it daily and it keeps rewarding: you and those you play with. When the going gets hard hard, solving it is the best.
Not for me unfortunately, I've yet to try a sugar free drink or sweet that doesn't taste bitter and chemically (if that's a word!). I don't get any sweet flavour at all, so can't drink any of them.
Code uses corn syrup not sugar.

Knowing the history of Firefox, XUL extensions and their demise, this feels more of a limitation.

For those who don't know, Firefox couldn't innovate because any change to the UI broke half the extension ecosystem. This is what happens when you give carte blanche to third party developers on your UI: It's great for the short them.
But this article does describe a study of the sweeteners individually. It’s not a super large N nor longitudinal, but it does isolate aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, and stevia.
As long as it can be turned off when it malfunctions, why is it a nightmare? At least in the Netherlands, most people are going the speed limit or near it. Everyone stays to the right unless passing. In this case, it doesn’t sound like a nightmare.

Somewhere like the US or where people speed often, yeah, it sounds like this feature could get you killed. Like somewhere like Atlanta, you’d probably get rear ended fairly quickly driving the speed limit on the interstate.
Not only do your answer's need to be perfect in order to progress but you can also answer correctly without knowing why you are correct.

Most people manage to speak their native language just fine but very few speak it anywhere near perfectly.

Obviously, you need to learn the basics of grammar in order to construct a sentence that sounds more or less right but I'm not sure Duolingo can even do this with any degree of success.
IETF MLS (https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mls/about/) was ratified in September 2022 by messenger service vendors (including Wire, Matrix, Mozilla, Cisco, Google, Facebook), who have been working for several years on an E2EE group messaging protocol to live alongside TLS. MLS is already deployed in production by Cisco WebEx.

> Messaging applications are increasingly making use of end-to-end security mechanisms to ensure that messages are only accessible to the communicating endpoints, and not to any servers involved in delivering messages. Establishing keys to provide such protections is challenging for group chat settings, in which more than two clients need to agree on a key but may not be online at the same time. In this document, we specify a key establishment protocol that provides efficient asynchronous group key establishment with forward secrecy and post-compromise security for groups in size ranging from two to thousands.

There is now a follow-up IETF project to use MLS for inter-messenger interoperability, with Matrix as an early participant, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33420112

Review of 2020 draft protocol, https://liu.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1388449/FULLTEXT...

> Work is now ongoing to introduce the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol as an efficient standard with high security guarantees for messaging in big groups. This thesis examines whether current MLS implementations live up to the promised performance properties and compares them to the popular Signal protocol. In general the performance results of MLS are promising and in line with expectations, providing improved performance compared to the Signal protocol as group sizes increase.
Not really, in my opinion. When conditions are obviously bad, people behave more cautiously. It is when everything seems fine and easy that people get too comfortable with pushing the limits, or things get too boring, and mistakes happen.
Ask HN: What app(s) would you prefer to use in the terminal?
What kind of apps could you see yourself using in the terminal if there was a decent CLI or TUI?

I'm particularly interested in non-developer tools. Apps that are typically web or desktop based. If they offered a good terminal experience would you consider switching?
If it were reliably contained to one thread I don't think there would even need to be a rule, yeah. I often see it where a bunch of top-level comments are spelling out the same 2 or 3 issues (some in a mean-spirited way), and though I care deeply about software accessibility, that is itself a usability issue for HN.
I (murrcan) use a fork as a knife. Not because of any knifobia (neologism ftw). Because it's handy and it usually works. Drives the (n.european) wifie nuts tho. But heck, why so many implements in the air ? It's eatin' time, not a display of hand-tool virtuosity. Teach the children.
Interestingly, the loo is a Water Closet.
From the page:

> In environments where cross-signing and verification are enabled, adding a new unverified user adds a warning to the room to indicate that unverified devices are present. However, it is possible for a homeserver to add a verified user to rooms without changing the security properties of the room. This allows a colluding homeserver and verified user to eavesdrop on rooms not intended for them. In other words, the warning regarding unverified devices is independent to whether the device is intended to participate in the speciﬁc room. Users may, of course, simply ignore warnings.

If I'm not mistaken this is not just a "warning" - Matrix clients will actively refuse to encrypt messages to the new recipient until they are verified in this situation.

The last time I seriously looked at Matrix (2019-2020ish), cross-signing and verification were essentially required for real security in chats. It sounds to me like (a) the worst case scenario vis-à-vis the "rogue server" is that things regress back to where they were in 2019, and (b) there's an issue where if everyone in a room has a rogue user validated, a rogue server can add the rogue user to a room that the user is not supposed to be invited to, without triggering a warning. This latter issue strikes me as something that should definitely be fixed (if it hasn't already been), but far from fatal for smaller chats.

"They killed it. It's dead." strikes me as an enormous reach.
A look at the Tesla Semi from a practical point of view
> another wiseass answer

There is a deeper point to that - that people tend to be free with money as long as it doesn't cost themselves. People behave very differently w.r.t. what is "worth" spending money on when it is their money, as opposed to someone else's.

> what they ought to be paid

How do you propose to determine that amount?

> is not satisfying

Nothing human is perfect. But in trying to get that last step towards perfection often just makes things worse. There's no such thing as a perfect free market. Nor would a perfect free market produce perfect results. It's just that, so far, nobody has devised anything that works better. The solutions I see people propose have all been tried before. If they worked, we could point to them.
There are definite flavours of Indian English here, which would be far less suspicious - if the scammer's name wasn't non-Indian. I suspect that, firstly, the scammer is not aware that their use of English flags them thus to native speakers, and secondly that they would in any case be subconsciously reluctant to use an Indian name anyway, perhaps because they (paradoxically) think it'd make it seem more like a scam rather than less.
