> Long-term unemployment means you're not giving according to your ability (and thus shouldn't receive according to your needs).

Or there are literally not enough jobs because of failed economic policy. We have this situation in Germany right now. There are about 2 million job openings, and official statistics report about 2 million unemployed. That makes it sound like it's only a matching problem (i.e. if we just enticed the unemployed to retrain or relocate, everything would sort itself out). But the statistics are "optimized" to look nicer than they actually are: Unemployed over the age of 58 are just taken out entirely, as is everyone currently undergoing retraining. (It's a meme in Germany that the unemployment office will send people to Microsoft Word courses for the 10th time because being in the course means they don't show up in the statistic.)

And then there's also the issue of people working part-time who actually want a full-time job. When you add all that up, we have around 4 million unused FTEs in Germany competing for 2 million open positions. That cannot possibly add up. If the politicians were serious about getting everyone into a job (which they sure say a lot into microphones), economic policy would need to be changed to incentivize job creation a whole lot more (e.g. by cutting down on NIMBYism in the construction and renewable energy sectors).
That would be really nice. I think there is definitely room for version control for people who are less in the programming realm or who work on personal projects that have a more creative art flavour (writers, desingers, etc). The user interface of Git is too frustrating for these types. Even as a mathematician and somewhat-programmer I dislike Git a lot. Rebase, blame, stash...ugghhh. Although Git is nice I liked Subversion better.
I actually ran a similar service maybe 10 years ago, as I wanted a way to find links I had tweeted. It just presented a web page of the links you have mentioned, it didn't send a newsletter.

Anyway my point is I also have a hard time (even now) believing people would pay for such a thing... Which is probably why none of my side projects have turned into a successful business ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It seems very silly to analyze the Google VPN with Google as your privacy adversary. The point of the VPN is to hide your traffic from 9th-circle privacy adversaries like local telephone companies.

It also seems pretty silly to mix in interesting findings in a big PDF sprinkled among other items that are, speaking generously, debatable matters of opinion, like whether programs should be stripped or not.
Dan.com is a reputable service and was recently acquired by GoDaddy, the biggest player in the domain industry by a very long margin. They will act as an escrow: take your money, get the domain into your hands, release the money to the seller. In this order.

I think your only worry would be to buy the domain from its legitimate owner. Dan.com has it's own security checks on both the buyer and the seller for what it's worth.

I've read through the spec along with the FAQ that epeus so graciously shared here. The idea of mentioning beyond the scope of one website's walled garden seems like a very natural progression of ActivityPub and the new-found hype surrounding Mastodon. My concern is that I haven't seen much thought into the security implications.

The spec makes it clear that they're trying to simplify pingbacks but they don't address the fundamental security problems with pingbacks in the first place. And anyone who's maintained a Wordpress site will tell you, the first thing you do is turn off the Trackback and Pingback features [1] because not only does it attract the scummiest deluge of spam [2] but they've also been useful for disclosing internal network info and [3] leveraged to target other websites in DDoS attacks. [4]

The only thought given to preventing abuse is as follows from Section 4.1:

>The verification process SHOULD be queued and processed asynchronously to prevent DoS attacks per section 3.2.

>Receivers MUST verify Webmentions per section 3.2.2.

The first directive isn't a guarantee a DoS attack won't block all IO, it just means don't make it trivial to bring a site down with webmentions. The second directive sounds nice but if you read through section 3.2.2 of the recommendation, it just mandates that you should validate the application data that's submitted. [5] There's no mechanism to authenticate messages, validate the sender, nor limit mentions to a set of trusted parties.

Am I missing something or is this recommendation just splitting the pingback feature from the XML-RPC protocol? In my opinion, that's not providing a lot of value because the feature is still so very easy to abuse.

I was always talking about bad actors (i.e. phishing sites).
Few notes: quick charge on highways is NEEDED simply because we need to travel from A to B even if the trip is longer than the vehicle range in a reasonable amount of time. Renault in the past have testes swappable batteries and failed so quick charging is the sole current option.

For a car this means 100kW, a truck I suspect must get at least 400kW. IF EVs get spread at the current peace we need at list 10+ concurrent charging ability every 50km or so.

The other option is electrifying roads, witch means cars can suck power with something like a long trolley, the phase in a grid-like roof, the neutral on ground, mandatory AC for a minimum safety. VERY costly and problematic for big transports. That's is already today.

Having cars with bigger range might help A BIT, in the sense that most do not do such a long trips one after another but stay ad the first long destination for a long enough time for a 22-50kW charge, but that means cars with around 1000km range with a price people can buy, of course. Even if we can achieve that trucks remain out of options anyways.
I felt like this post was, "SPAs suck, here's a new lightweight SPA."
It's also because working "hard" isn't enough. You have to put your effort where it matters. That is so often overlooked.
I found it worthwhile to spend a day finding specific episodes of software engineering related podcasts. I've found good results when searching for software episodes in Algorithmic Trading, Math, Netsec, and Game Development podcasts. I also found that searching YouTube with the >20 min filter helps me find podcast-like single discussions/presentations. Youtube autoplay and recommended videos are really good for me.

Chat With Traders Podcast has Quant traders and software engineers from time to time. Hearing technical people talk about work and answer questions to a non-technical audience is useful, because podcasts often don't have PR talk. There are exception to that, here's a 3 year old episode with Sam Bankman-Fried https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSDk5PAJss4 https://chatwithtraders.com/?s=software

DataSkeptic is an AI, data science, stats, advertising podcast I have found relatively recently. The have had multiple seasons, Seasons labeled, Ad-Tech (current), Physically Distributed, k-means, Time Series, Consensus, Interpretability, Fake News, Natural Language Processing, and Artificial Intelligence. I really liked the episodes I have heard so far. https://dataskeptic.com/

I also enjoy old developer conference presentations like ones from Game Developers Conference and Defcon. There are projects to put saved articles through text to speech in batches on the computer, but I have set up classic TTS on my phone instead. Not all articles will work well for conversion though.
Yeah, the context should make it obvious. An ATM is a very common thing to ask for and it is a machine and it handles cash.
During the Seattle 2020 "events", I was walking by then started hearing loud noises all of a sudden. Turns out, thieves had broken into the nearby Apple store, taken many iPhones and then the "stolen" signal was somehow pushed into them, making them make a loud sound and show a "this is stolen" kind of popup on their screen. The thieves just dumped the stolen iPhones on the ground probably to avoid attention from the cops.
Win 10 Pro with Open Shell and auto updates off is quite pleasant.
Back in the 1990s my dad's oldest brother went to the outskirts of NYC and was really impressed with the fake "Rolex" he bought. My mom was indignant about it because she sold men's clothing for a living and could tell you exactly how a fake Tommy Hilfiger shirt was worse in so many ways than a real one.

Two weeks later the watch stopped running.

Around the same time, though, my mom's youngest brother was driving on the cross-Bronx throughway, stopped to help somebody whose car was pulled over on the side of the road, and found the driver had been shot dead.

It’s fine if you accept that you’re living a wasteful lifestyle that was completely unnecessary for hundreds of thousands of years.
It's really messed up that the tax code doesn't allow a standard W-2 employee to deduct food, transportation, a portion of housing (required to get the sleep to work), etc. If you were a business that invented a robot that could perform a salaried job, the resources required to run it would all be legitimate business expenses. The disparity really speaks to how far our laws have been corrupted by corporate interests, and then making up for the shortfall by turning the screws on individuals.
> ~250-350kW 800v chargers are the current top-dog DCFC charger systems in the EU, US, and elsewhere and they're increasingly common.

Yes, but those are mostly for 'residential' / non-commercial applications. For more commercial / industrial application a new system is being developed:

> The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is a charging connector under development for large battery electric vehicles. The connector will be rated for charging at a maximum rate of 3.75 megawatts (3,000 amps at 1,250 volts direct current (DC)).

On the contrary, Linux is in a good position for the same reason you think it isn't. As the desktop/laptop market shrinks to advanced users, it loses the long tail of users who weren't technically capable enough to switch. At the same time, WINE/proton and even some native ports have vastly improved the gaming scene on Linux, and a decent chunk of non-gaming applications too. Sure, there will always be certain business applications that refuse to work on anything but actual Windows, but Linux works for a decent and growing part of the shrinking niche that is "real computers".
> One thing that isn't clear is does Theft and Loss protection still apply when you're traveling outside your home country?

Seemingly. From the U.S. agreement:

https://aigtheftandloss.com/static/media/ExNY.72830d3f.pdf

"If service is not available for the Equipment in a country outside of the United States, You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges to facilitate service to a country where service is available. If You seek service in a country that is outside of the United States, You will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other
associated taxes and charges."
Yet Germany insisted on proceeding with Nordstream 2 anyway. And the US has now spent a hundred billion pushing back an emboldened Russia.

You can actually just look to what people were using before plastic became ubiquitous: wicker, cotton, burlap

Unfortunately if you live in the US you're starting out at about $50 instead of $5. I think that's a little bit of a HCOL price point, though. I picked up a burlap shopping bag in India earlier this year for about the equivalent of five cents, that any store here would have charged a couple of bucks for.

> while long-term I and probably a million others are running for the exit, and doing our best to never use Windows, Azure, Outlook, Office etc again. So few companies out there seen to care about their long term reputation.

Sadly, the number of people who will actually run for the exit is much, much smaller. People on HN are completely unrepresentative of the general population. I'm pretty sure MS has people who do user retention as part of design research, it is standard in the industry before rolling out a feature to all users. Especially when switching costs are high, even people who hate ads get used to them after a very short time. Plus, everyone who can afford a Mac and doesn't mind being locked-in to the Apple ecosystem is already there.

Every mainstream platform is already inundated with ads. Social media is full of ads and sponsored posts. Most 'news' sites have gotten so bad that content is only 25-50% of the screen. E-commerce marketplaces from Amazon to Walmart are compromised and corrupted. People may run from one ad-saturated platform or site to another, but the norm is ads everywhere. If they're not running from that, would they notice or care about this?
By framing the problem like this you are making the assumption the variables are independent which is very much not the case. Your work can influence your luck, and even how much effect said luck has.

Many 400kV lines run alongside highways.

Or you could put up wires on highways which means trucks can charge as they drive along. Germany, Sweden, the UK have been doing trials on this

https://www.carscoops.com/2021/07/uk-approves-e-highway-sche...

"An academic study suggested the e-highway system covering all but the most remote parts of the UK could be completed by 2030 at a cost of £19 billion (£26.4 bn),"

In context that's about the same cost as Crossrail.
How dare you express anything that resembles sincere courage here. Elon Musk can afford that, but if others were to follow his lead, imagine how bad that would be for Big Tech management!

Unfortunately I’m afraid the current version of this is the Elon Musk wannabes. What they don’t know is that many people that have worked for Musk have come forward from SpaceX and the like that say the only way to progress projects is to avoid his interference and/or learn how to present things to him in a way that he doesn’t sabotage it. I’ve worked for bosses like that before and it is terrible. Not only are you doing your difficult job task but you have a constant mini boss that pops up trying to spoil any forward progress.
Right, but the point is comparing yourself to a sea of bad is not good. It's still very bad. None of us are actually reproducing above replacement and it's already having massive deleterious effects on our pension plans and when we're allowed to retire with full pension.

I won't dispute any facts here, that's beyond my experience and knowledge. The article doesn't give a good motivation for Hungary to allow major Russian spying.

Hungary had a major beef with USSR over the USSR crushing the 1956 Hungarian uprising. That's within living memory. Why cosy up to Russia now? Cheap fossil fuel seems like a bad bargain.
I use URxvt and a systemd-run to daemonize tmux even if I close my graphical session.

I use a function for the local tmux session and an alias for remote ssh tmux sessions, with a different bindings (MOD+x & MOD+w).

Like that I am always in tmux localy and remotely just by launching URxvt.

# open a new tmux session named ssh_tmux or attach to it
alias tmuxs='tmux new-session -A -s ssh_tmux && exit'
# open a new default tmux session with a named default or attach if it exist
tmuxa () {
systemd-run -q --scope --user tmux new-session -A -s default "$@"
exit
}

# run tmux if TMUX variable is null

That said I feel like locomotion in vr is a disappointment. The sliding based solutions are weird and treadmills are huge and noisy. Is this even remotely feasible to solve in the next decade? I’m assuming maybe not since there seem to only be a few small companies working on it.

If you try “room scale” VR IMO it’s a totally different experience to walk around a simulated space.
Just curious: How can you have very good margins if you have 50 people and only 1mm in annual revenue?

Selling an agency is challenging. You need to figure out what you're actually selling: Do you have unique IP? A killer brand? Hard-won sales channels already in place?

You also need to figure out what the buyer can do with your agency: They probably want to grow the margins or scale. How does your agency enable whatever goal they want to achieve?

Once you have your pitch together, you can Google around for sites like micro acquire, which connect buyers and sellers.

Hope this helps.
Of course not. Satire can be done very well and sincerely.
One thing I would add: if you’re serializing with something off the shelf like JSON, you’ll probably also want to (recursively) sort object fields as well as non-ordered collections like Maps or Sets. At which point JSON may still be a good starting point but doesn’t give as much “for free” as it might seem at first.
> I don't know who came up with this time schedule, the grid cannot support this

Definitely the grid cannot support it today, which is why we need goals and a timeline to push ourselves rather than wait, if moving to EVs is our future. Maybe the schedule was known to be aggressive and the point of the schedule is to start now and aim high with the infrastructure, to create electricity supply simultaneously with demand, rather than wait for demand to exceed supply and then be stuck waiting for infrastructure? Either way, even if the timeline is a little too fast, and it takes another 5 or 10 years to get there, it can serve a useful purpose as a goal that aligns everyone and a catalyst that leads to action now, no? What if we’ll be late anyway, will it just take even longer if we don’t set aggressive goals? And hey, maybe we can surprise ourselves. History has many examples of how fast we can move as soon as we all agree on the goal and try hard.
