Bad question. Good question instead: "What seems to be the trend which may be at some point stop people from doing it".

> what you are talking about

You do not get the point. Of course one is glad to have the ability to prove transactions that one wants to be recorded; the issue is with the threats to the ability of carrying on transactions that one does not want to be recorded.

Not the OP, but I think there are ethical concerns about genetic manipulation that do not amount to catastrophizing (e.g. 20th century eugenics is back!).

Humans vs. robots: the battle reaches a turning point
I agree with this. These AI tools have caused my (not a junior) productivity to skyrocket as a result of eliminating almost every instance of needing to check documentation/stackoverflow/etc. for easy questions in addition to providing most of my annoying boilerplate code. Since I am my own expert opinion on whether the output is correct/satisfactory, I can quickly breeze through verification of output & make corrections as necessary.
The difference is options. Developers can use anything on the back. You are stuck with JS on the front. That devs _choose_ Go means something.
> I find it a bit hard to understand why people are critizing Go "yaddayadda oh how wrong this decision is yaddayadda". Like, who cares. Let them do how they like it. Nobody is forcing anyone to use the language.

A choice of programming language affects people other than the ones who decided on it. An obvious example is bug fixing and other maintenance; if for instance I find a bug in syncthing and want to fix it, I have to learn Go, because that's the programming language they chose. Another example is finding work; if most employers have systems written in Java, and you don't want to be picky about it, you have to learn and use Java. And finally, the popularity of a language directly affects its ecosystem's health, and since there's a limited amount of programmer time in the world, one language becoming more popular implies other languages become less popular (and after some point, their ecosystems begin to suffer).

Given all that, it makes sense that even people who do not like Go want its designers to make good choices (and get annoyed when they make bad choices), since its popularity means that there's a good chance that they will have someday to use it.
Restoration of the 2fa codes onto a new device doesn't seem to require communication with the original device, so I don't think there's client-side encryption going on.

The Authenticator also has password vaulting features, but I agree that would be a bad idea for both your 2fa codes and your passwords to be in the same place (even worse if you use Outlook!)
I think there is some truth in it though. I think he's driving at the fact that good ideas tend to be _found_ as opposed to _generated_.

Sitting down to brainstorm ideas is a lot less likely to lead to a good idea than listening over a longer period of time.
It looks neat.

I have long suspected that viruses are the underlying cause of most of the diseases that have eluded us for the last 50 years. HIV gave us insights into a novel way that viruses can operate. It makes sense to think that there are more ways than we imagined.

E/B virus is suspect in Type 1 Diabetes too.
E/B Vaccination could eradicate a group of diseases potentially.
Precisely!

Not to mention a fully specced out Tesla Model 3 is $80k and Model Y is now.. $90k, and the tax credits are basically gone! I remember getting a pretty well configured Model 3 for $50k after tax incentives in their first year of production.

For ~$70k you used to be able to get a Model S, which now STARTS at $105k. Easily configurable into the $130-160k range now.. insane.
None of the things you are complaining about have much of an operational impact on the British police.

You know what does?

The wholesale destruction of the NHS and ambulance services leading to the police being the first response to mental health issues.

Police are the wrong agency to deal with this, but currently in the UK, the police are pretty much always the first (often only) to deal with MH issues and get people into care/section them etc.
Or don’t and drive gasoline power cars and save the energy loss converting gasoline to electricity, and the 1% per day energy loss that evs have if you just leave them be. Or maybe let’s just make hybrids and not lug around 2 tons of batteries.

If the complaints turn out to be valid, you’d have to undo the infrastructure work and restore the prior state, which sometimes is impossible, and in most cases cost-prohibitive. So what you’re saying is that either there are no valid complaints, or you’ll be dismissing any valid complaints.

This comes out to 24 FPS. The article talks of 140k frames, but it looks like they didn't use all of them for the final movie.

They owe you nothing, so if you want to figure something out, searching the web is your best chance.

Also, how is it not clear what the project is? First thing I see from the submission link:

> Software defined VHS decoder

> A fork of LD-Decode, the decoding software powering the Domesday86 Project

Which links to https://github.com/happycube/ld-decode and https://www.domesday86.com/

> Software defined LaserDisc decoder

and

> Domesday86 is a project that aims to recreate the experience of the original BBC Domesday project using modern hardware and software

Which leads me to searching what BBC Domesday is, as I didn't know:

> The BBC Domesday Project was a partnership between Acorn Computers, Philips, Logica, and the BBC to mark the 900th anniversary of the original Domesday Book, an 11th-century census of England. It has been cited as an example of digital obsolescence on account of the physical medium used for data storage.

Not sure why everything has to be made for/explained as it's made for literally everyone. Some software is for a niche section of programmers/developers/$niche-group, that's perfectly fine. If you're curious, use a search engine like the rest of us.
There are a number of cities around the world that do get the majority of their power from renewable sources as well, so it depends on where you live as to what the impact is. Where I live an EV would be solar or wind powered if you charged it during the day. At night, a blend of wind and gas.
Also been doing this for years. And always wondered about possible disadvantages, or is there any reason why it is not used like this by everyone?
I live in a poor area of the country. If I were to dress according to my income I wouldn't be able to go anywhere. Does this count as a countersignal?
I agree with this. My take is that it’s less about vocabulary and more about anxiety: worrying about and focusing on how you’re perceived, whether you sound like an idiot, thinking about what you’re going to say next. Learning to be present in the moment and release your anxiety can help a lot. The usual boring solutions apply: meditation, exercise, diet, sleep, and practice.
it's actually totally feasible to convert gas to electricity and use it to power an EV and lose less energy than just putting the gas into an ICE. Car engines have to be designed to minimize weight and volume to fit in a car. a ground based generator can be significantly more efficient than a car engine.

You're missing the point. Some people NEED daily standups and some people will literally quit if they have to do it. That's process. It becomes more difficult when those two individuals are on the same team and then you have to micro-manage the the under-performer who can't be trusted to give accurate updates and make progress. Sure, managers need to motivate and course correct when necessary but process can help with that.

The long freezes you describe come from thrashing, when memory is at its limit. Forget about background apps/tabs, you simply don't have enough memory period. Swapping doesn't perform miracles.

And I was clear I wasn't talking about severely underprovisioned machines, such as you are describing. In normal usage where background apps/tabs are swapped out preemptively, there is no performance hit at all. And then when they're reloaded from swap -- yes, it's extremely fast. It's like loading a web page from your local drive, only even faster because it doesn't have to be interpreted.

If you're dealing with freezes of 20 seconds to several minutes, your machine is severely underpowered or somehow seriously misconfigured. You need to upgrade, not complain about how swap doesn't work.
I learned kelvin in high school chemistry and I'm not sure why you wouldn't use kelvin when talking about liquids that far negative in celsius/fahrenheit and that close to absolute zero.
Apparently Siemens is already onto 175 kW chargers, "Great for fast charging locations and applications along highway corridors.":

https://new.siemens.com/us/en/products/energy/topics/transpo...

Probably they want to halve the times in your example to 3/4th hour.

They may be able to have 10 charging stations instead of 20, but the overall grid consumption will remain the same 1600-2000 kW is a lot of power and the need for dedicated power lines won't change.

Dunno about the numbers for Germany, but Estonia and Finland rented a floating terminal for ten years. That should be long-term enough to phase off all major demand of LNG. Regarding the cost, I calculate a miniscule fixed cost of 0.1 cent / kWh or 1 EUR/MWh, assuming the capacity will be used in full.

"The vessel’s evaporation capacity is 140 GWh/day and even more than 40 TWh per year [--] The total cost of the LNG floating terminal project is estimated at EUR 460 million under a 10-year lease. In addition, there will be costs related to the volume of use." https://gasgrid.fi/en/fsru-en/lng-floating-terminal/
In other words you don't know what you're talking about, otherwise you would be able to answer a simple question.
I will point a few issues with this whole discussion:

1) We have a Twitter thread, from one party, emotionally connected and clearly not unbiased

2) What the threat claims makes no sense. It might be correct -- court often rules in ways which make no sense -- or it might be misrepresenting things significantly.

3) Authors' rights are a cultural construct, and the extent and places protection extends depends on culture. The US has done a lot to push its own model of copyright on the world (and to educate kids that it's the only model of authors' rights and a human right). I would like to see more diversity and innovation globally here.

I don't fundamentally see the court's decision as either correct or flawed without a lot more context and primary sources. My instinct is the same as everyone else's -- this feels like infringement -- but I'm situated in the same cultural context.

My instinct with just a few more changes would be different.

If the folds of the dress, arrangement of flowers, and strands of hair were not placed the same, I'd consider the new work a sufficiently new work to not be infringing. Fundamentally, I'm a fan of building off of other's work and various forms of "resampling," so long as the result is sufficiently derivative, unconfusing (e.g. can't be passed off or confused for the original artist), and doesn't compete directly with the original work. I support a very broad interpretation of fair use. I've also been in countries where copyright is ignored, and where it's draconian, and I can tolerate other perspectives.
I don't know if they do, but that's not the point. The point is I'm reasonably sure that there isn't a global database of stolen phones.
Working locally: When you want multiple windows configured more compactly or more customization than any gui emulators. But it really shines for remote work where you’re not running a vnc, where u have a persistent terminal session, maintain all windows etc if you get disconnected.

There are plenty of 1%-ers who work hard and they ascribe their success to their hard work and intelligence. But it ignores that there are many people who work harder, are more intelligent, or both, who don't get to those heights. That is the luck aspect.

If one is on top of the heap, it is convenient to believe in meritocracy, doubly so. On the one hand, it makes the person feel they earned what they have, and second it means the poor are also getting what they deserve and so there is no need to artificially prop them up. "Those people" should have worked harder.
Find My doesn’t leak device location to Apple, so they do not have this data. (iirc it works something like this: the device includes a public key in its broadcasts and nearby devices encrypt their location for that key and send that blob to iCloud)

I use tmux in a GUI terminal emulator (KDE's Konsole) for a force of habit. It's nice to have split views, tabs and sessions, though Konsole offers tabs and splits, but it's nice to have them when you need to go to a TTY and having your session running there too as if nothing had happened.
My first thought would be a coin changer. Although if I heard it from a foreigner an ATM would probably be the next thing to come to mind.
Not just rich people, successful people in general hate to acknowledge the role luck played in their success. It's really obvious on communities devoted to becoming successful at a certain hobby or venture, like blogging, video creation, live streaming, SEO/marketing, game development, startups, etc. Those who made it big will talk about it's all skill and how their amazingly strategies and hard work paid off, whereas those who failed will be talking about its all luck based, how their timing was off and how they didn't have the connections needed to succeed.

It's called self-serving bias, and it's everywhere in society.
I can't see the logic in it either, by the time they're done paying off a typical loan even for the $87k variant, you would be up into triple figures for it. It could have cost as much as some people's homes.

>German rejection of nuclear

This isn't really a German thing although Germany has some peculiar domestic reasons for its nuclear distaste that go back many decades. The nuclear energy industry collapsing is a secular trend globally with share of energy production steadily falling. The one country somewhat buckling that trend is China, but only due to heavy state intervention and even in China the industry is in slow decline. The biggest contributor to this is not politics but simply the extremely fast falling share price of renewables.

""Nuclear energy's share of global gross electricity generation continues its slow but steady decline from a peak of 17.5% in 1996 with a share of 10.1% in 2020," states the report.

The comparatively cheap cost of renewables is at the heart of the problem. The WNISR confirms that new renewable electricity investment was above $300 billion (€256 billion) in 2020, which is 17 times higher than the reported global investment commitments to nuclear power."

Ask HN: Have you bought domain via dan.com and was it safe?
Hi folks, we’re considering buying a domain via dan.com, our first time using it.

Aside from price-related matters, are there any risks we should be aware of?

If you have any stories / experience using dan.com, we’d love to hear them.

It’s a big purchase for us, so we’re just trying to minimise the risk of dealing with an overseas seller.

The fact that it’s listed on dan.com gives us peace of mind - because it appears legitimate - but perhaps that’s misplaced?

Thank you :-)
