In The Netherlands, they are implementing a thing which gives the same advantages (i.e. disclose some attributes about yourself without disclosing unneeded data), but uses different technologies. It's called IRMA, you can find an overview here [1]. It can be combined with other applications to do cool stuff, e.g. with PostGuard [2] you can use identity-based encryption to be able to send an encrypted email to someone, but without the need to know their public key in advance, nor having to authenticate it. The drawback is that you have to trust a central server and a third party identity provider.

>Oh, and we’re in an energy crisis and France, which is normally a net exporter to the U.K., is needing to import energy

They're spending hundreds of billions just to replace ~80% of the nuclear plants that are aging out and officially hoping that renewables will make up the difference.

It's almost as if it does take too long and cost too much.

Meanwhile the UK is refusing planning permission to solar farms at a record rate because who needs electricity that costs £35 per MWh now when you can pay £92.50+inflation for Hinkley Point C in a decade:

Recent studies suggest it's not just staying indoors or viruses hanging around longer in cold/dry air. Exposure to cold temperatures may suppress specific immune mechanisms in respiratory tract. See paper out this month, Huang et al "Cold exposure impairs extracellular vesicle swarm–mediated nasal antiviral immunity" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009167492...
You seem to be exceptionally confident about an area where that is very rarely legally the case. Secondarily, the TOC don't define necessarily what's legal or not.

Do you have a source for your claims here? They mentioned a contract beginning in June of next year, if the company fulfils more than the contract generally that would be upon them, though it may be grounds for termination of the contract.

If you have some relevant law or legal reference to back up your statements on the matter, I'd be interested in learning a bit more about it personally.
I guess people don’t like abandoning entire cities for decades when an accident happens.
There’s a lot of people in my life that don’t want to get sick. And I don’t want to have to cancel plans with them every time I feel a little fatigue, because 99% of the time that’s just due to weird sleep. But if I wasn’t masked I would be constantly wondering if I was getting sick and if I should cancel plans. My parents are elderly, my partners partner is vulnerable. There’s a lot of people in my life that can’t afford to get sick because they would infect their entire household.

I guess it’s fine if no one you hang out with cares, but that’s not the case for me.

I should also note that I don’t work with other people. I might feel differently if I had to mask at work all the time. I do keep a mask for the 2% of the time at work I interact with others. But the biggest thing is grocery stores. Not masking there you’re just asking to elevate community transmission. You’re increasing the risks for others. I’d love it if the virus was gone, but it just isn’t.
"they're not authentic they're just performing" is also a trope. I assume someone is being genuine until proven otherwise
I think that is significantly underselling wikipedia's reliability in practise.
> So like let's say my house got too crazy to work from, without being aware of WeWorks,

Is this a hypothetical? Because if you did run a business out of your home, you absolutely would know about short-term rental offices. Pre-covid, it was normal to meet in person at both offices if the size of the contract is large enough.
It’s genuine insofar as we have gone too far one way as a society and now people, even young people who have no concept of the old days, are exploring the opposite again.

I guess it seems a bit pretentious since those of us who were around as young adults when mobiles and the internet took off, and then worked in the industries that made the current situation happen, realise there is a happy midpoint. “The only thing better than a flip phone is no phone?” I can’t roll my eyes enough.

I dare say “our generation” started the idea of removing technology again and getting back some of the good old days.
VAERS includes thousands of reports of death including broad anaphylaxis following their vaccination for CV. So what are you saying? Those lives are an acceptable cost for the convenience of skipping failsafes?

You're essentially giving full confidence to an industry - so why stop at covid? Shouldn't you prophylactically vaccinate yourself against all the viruses on earth?
I've been struggling to decide which one (of the two interpreter books you mentioned) to read. Any specific reason I should read one over the other?
See my answer above. You're assuming is easy for management to know exactly what you're doing. This will vary from org to org and how many reports do they have, how complex the work is, how much autonomy everyone has, etc;

Sure, you can take the stance "they should know", but then don't complain when even well-intentioned managers can lose perspective or miss some of your accomplishments when is time to recognize your efforts (promo, raises, etc).

I consider myself a "well intentioned" manager, I care about my team and their work, try to keep up with the details, etc; but there's just too much going on at a large organization and I'm fallible. I may forget, or fail to see the complexity and value of something someone did (even my own accomplishments). There's nothing wrong with advocating for yourself and making your manager aware of your stance. If there's disagreement about how valuable something I did is I'd rather know when having that conversation. I may learn my manager cares more about x/y/z and not something I thought it was valuable but turns out is not important for the org or my manager for some reason I wasn't aware of.
Bah. I’ve already used it to great success as an editor or assistant. It doesn’t need to be right. The fact that it sounds convincing is great when it helps me format communication. I want to sound convincing too! If it generates code for me I can try it myself to see if it works.

It isn’t perfect but it’s good enough to be extremely useful.
I didn't try the platform. Offering advice anyways.

We have tried the alternatives (truthsocial, parler, gettr) but they have been bogged with idealisms. We have tried the technically savvy (mastadon) but people don't get it. And now we want something else. Something other than reddit. Something other than instagram or facebook.

Suggestion: start narrow. real real narrow. mirror content across other platforms like summary of the greatest sendie on youtube, or a promo of every terrific sendie on twitter. Find a vocal niche and siphon those users from other places. then grow into a medium sized territory, like music groups or indie video.

I don't know where to go from there. But that should take 1-3 years. You will have gained enough traction for huge potential. twitter will be down and out in 5 years time. or maybe they will continue to create controversy and engagement. So it won't be really be out. But at least the valuable communities will be on your platform.

I don't know how to monetize it either.
Shouldn’t this be a „ask hn“?
The infrastructure is managed by Germanys public administration.

The French utilize matrix for military operations as well. This isn’t “some random company”.
I'm not arguing that the setup is legitimate. I'm pointing out that the above analogy is confusing different tax types. The sales tax is not in question here. I'm all for revisiting how profits are taxed based on where they are made, but sales taxes/VAT is already collected correctly for both iphone and netflix.
1600 people is an enormous number of deaths. It would have been reported.

I've followed Fukushima news since it happened, and never heard of this before.

Random is pretty load bearing here. The BWI GmbH was literally created to operate the armies non-military IT infrastructure.
Because the OP had taken generalised from that issue to a general polarised Musk fanboys vs haters debate.
I've started to use delivery from places like HD, it's often not that expensive. The problem with the little rental truck is you have to drive it back and get your car.

For largish but still not huge truck items Uber "SUV" might work, but most people just call their friends with a truck.

A smallish vehicle with a trailer hitch is pretty good, but you have to know you're going to get something big so you bring the trailer.
Sorry, but I don't quite understand what you're asking here.
While there’s definitely a performative aspect to it, I think there’s a genuine & sincere interest in rejecting social-media manufactured-reality. These teens, regardless of sincerity, are rejecting a demonstrably negative & harmful activity in favor of reading, art, music, & engaging with their local community. I’m thrilled that this is catching on at all. I’ve had a deep hatred of owning a smartphone for years, but always feel like I need it (slack & email for work, immediate news/link aggregation, etc.), so I’m jealous/happy that they’ve gotten a head start at rejecting it outright so young.
> You’re missing that the incident in question was days after the jet landed at the airport. DAYS. There was no following from earlier that day.

I could be making a mistake but I don't believe this is true. Are we looking at the same plane (N628TS)? It seems to have been at Los Angeles International Airport the same day.

It's also not particularly public information (https://archive.vn/cB7Lh). Would you defend doxxing sites like Kiwi Farms, on the basis that they're correlating/archiving public information?
Congrats! I never would have imagined ngrok would grow from the little CLI tool it was into the company that it is today. It's very impressive.
My favorite ChatGPT answer about math is:

Me: What is the 19th digit of pi

ChatGPT: The value of pi is approximately 3.14159265359, and the 19th digit is 5. However, it is important to note that the digits of pi continue infinitely, so this is only an approximation of the 19th digit.
It's strange that Vox is allowed here but similarly partisan websites on the other side are not (e.g. Breitbart).
The point of the "Nuclear waste" is that it is perceived as dangerous. If someone gives a numerical argument to rebate a perception and your comeback is that "using numbers like that is ghoulish", then I know who is winning the argument.
Quite the opposite. You can't fake revenue nearly as much as you can fake profits. Examples are legion - look at any company in the US that pays 0% (or negative) corporate tax rate.
This is great advice. Try to kill your darlings. If one or two survive, then you might be on the right track.
Why not aks yourself „what is it i like to do“ instead of „how do i thrive“?
You „thrivers“ are a boring bunch.
Wow typical Russian propaganda bullshit

I am absolutely empathetic to that poor women, but never really understood the physics behind it. You can’t superheat water under normal pressure, so it capped out at 100C (sorry, don’t know that in F, but boiling point of water). Which is pretty expected for tea, and not unheard of from coffee (without milk). I do get the economic.. money-grab on the company side that you can’t feel how bad the coffee tastes if it’s too hot, and also that it will get to a drinkable temperature when you’ve walked back to your office, but I don’t see any evil on this part and 90C coffee would not have caused much lesser damage. Of course their reaction after the fact was very disturbing (ridiculing the poor victim), but we’ve just forgotten how truly terrible any kind of burn is, and boiling water is just extremely hot.

Like, any number of news where someone poured boiling water on their cheating husband is just behind stupid and just shows an absolute lack of understanding of basic reality. I’m sure they didn’t intend that much damage, but they are just dangerously stupid at that point.

Lol I can’t imagine judging kids this hard. You’re doing great
I’m not coming from an “individual perspective.” I wore masks the whole time because I’m an obedient Asian who will do whatever social convention requires. But now the prevailing social consensus is to not wear masks, and I think that’s correct.

It’s anti-social to not wear a mask when society has decided to do so. But it’s perfectly fine for society to decide to prioritize normal interactions over safety and abandon the social convention of masking.
Usually in the German health sector the use of existing standards is only there for marking off a checklist I have the feeling. In practice things are so heavily adapted that you often cannot use existing libraries.

Just look at the authentication of the E-Rezept (electronic prescription) service: https://github.com/gematik/api-erp/blob/master/docs/authenti...
This is supposed to be standard OpenID.

I fully expect the matrix protocol to suffer the same treatment under the hand of the Gematik.

If you want to know how things end up such a chaos take a look at the definitions of the payload data: https://github.com/gematik/api-erp/blob/master/docs/erp_fhir...

6 different sets of definitions by 5 different regulating bodies, with the organizing company Gematik GmbH owned by 9 different stakeholders: https://www.gematik.de/ueber-uns/struktur
I suppose popularity could inflate the creators' egos, leading them to make unilateral decisions without any advice or input from others. Not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the creator was already making unilateral decisions, but if before the popularity there was a group of people making decisions (such as a writers room for a television show) and after popularity they stop doing that, then there is a risk the quality goes down. Of course that's just one possibility of how popularity could lead to a reduction in quality, and its not the popularity itself that is the cause, it is a change in decision-making procedure. So in general, I would say it is disingenuous and pretentious to dislike something because of its popularity. It's not a valid reason
Actually, since I'm sorta on the producer end of that market:

Word count is much more often what people in the biz focus on. It eliminates all the talk about margins, leading, font, paper thickness, etc.
> For GPS my watch (Garmin) has GPS.

Your watch can do navigation? Without being tethered to a phone? I'm interested, which model?
Yep, still running Solaris 11 on a Sun server for SDH/SONET network management. I mean it fits the bill, since both technologies are now ancient.

I can't say bad things about the whole Sun/Solaris combo though. It's rock solid and requires practically no maintenance whatsoever.

Also, since it's completely off the internet, it's not like it could be compromised in any way.

I don't understand venture capital, but from my understanding, this startup cycle has hardly been futile.

- The founders made money

- The employees made money

- The customers made money in the form of steeply discounted products and services

So really, the only people to lose out were VCs, especially since a lot of these startups haven't really had a chance to IPO and grift out the little guy (at least in my market).
Think he's suggesting bad faith is what they all have in common? Trying to get money from investors rather than by actually building a business, which can be done legally or illegally.
This is a total tangent but I wonder if there is something like a bookmark on HN. I would like to save this link so I can read it later. I could upvote it which seems wrong as it has a social component but then I could see it in my upvotes later. I could favorite it but then it would appear to someone else looking at my favorites that I really loved the article when I haven’t even read it yet. I will take that option so I can see it later because it seems like the lesser of two evils. But I would love to see a reading list or something. (I am the kind of guy who was 500 browser tabs open at a time lol)
> It's about an hour of your time annually, so if even at a 20% chance of success that feels like a wise investment.

At my place of work it is common for people to spend multiple days on these things, with some people on my team spending a whole week. I'm told the process was substantially more heavy weight before I got here. Maybe you are just blissfully unaware of the true costs? I would give your right arm to waste only an hour every review cycle on this counterproductive insanity! I would happily accept no promotions or raises above inflation to not go through this were it an option.
>Anyone who thinks reading Dostoyevski is an acomplishment must be borderline illiterate

It's not an accomplishment, but it's definitely more, as parent commenter said, "performative" than saying they read any popular author of today.

As you yourself pointed, Dostoyevski is a required reading in high school and as anybody who had the "pleasure" of attending school, knows required reading usually isn't something what appeals to the youth (killing joy from this activity is another problem).
After having spent a fair amount of time using various different tools to attempt to control their screen time, my conclusion is that it was a mistake to have any screens in the house in the first place.

A library of great books, good games, craft and art materials, and a collection of musical instruments would have been the best thing for my kids I'm thinking. Screens just make them addicted and miserable.
Heat changes the protein structure, so antibodies might no longer recognize them: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9826012/
Fair enough. What you said sounds promising.

My point stands though: we're not doing fusion at scale yet, so we'll see.
France is in trouble because nearly 50% of their nuclear reactors are offline
due to maintenance.

Sweden has taken down at least one reactor again for maintenance.

Using that as an argument that we need more nuclear energy seems a bit off.
My kid's almost three. From day one, we've implemented a zero screen policy. That means no phones, tablets, computers, TV (don't own one), etc.

We've read to her since day one and she loves books now and her spoken/listening language skills are way ahead for her age. Wife speaks to her in her native language so she's growing up bilingual too. Wife takes her to parks, mommy and me classes where they have story time, sing, physical activities, arts and crafts and free play with toys. At home, we expect her to be able entertain herself with toys, books, backyard, etc.

It's not perfect, but at a parenting class, I heard screens described as crack cocaine for kids, so I'm keeping mine away from that shit for as long as I can. She seems to be doing fine without them and though she's curious when she sees one, she doesn't ask/whine for them.[0] I don't even plan to expose educational app games to her. So many other richer ways to learn in 3D space. I highly doubt she'll fall behind for lack of exposure to screens.

[0] The most screen exposure she gets is with others. People these days don't seem to be able to socialize and interact without their phones.
What's the point of an "open source project" that requires a proprietary data set with seemingly no license? It might as well just the fetch & execute a random executable.
I mean, in both cases it could have hardly been worse. There were failures in the planning, in the operation and in external events. Like, what else could be worse? A meteor hitting the plant during a terrorist attack?
Amazon has the amazing "Tales from the loop" which is IMHO the best SciFi show they produced. I think it gets overlooked because of the low-key "tale" format, where every episode is its own little story in a shared universe. But it's beautifully filmed and truly captures the essence of Simon Stalenhag's paintings which it is based upon.
That's a bit of a stretch. They have phones (some of them still have smart phones - the article mentioned them putting away their iphones when they met). I think a phone is as much as you need to get by in the world and get a job
My approach is to demystify the addictive thing as much as possible.

Kid wants to play video games? Have them create their own video game before playing other video games

Addicted to TikTok? Have them create their own videos and channel before watching other peoples channels

Addicted to the internet? Have them create their own websites before having them see other people's websites

The foundations of addiction rely on the mind creating cycles of dependence on a single activity due to a lack of finding the same dopamine rush in other known activities. So if they understand what is going on behind the scenes that actually results in the dopamine rush, they can find healthier alternatives. They will do this automatically since dopamine with understanding = freedom
That is very cool, and surprising to me given I was also initially underwhelmed.

One nitpick though: in the second question, although the explanation itself is clean, there appear to be seven b’s in its representation of the number six.
I suppose if I hire someone that I would know why I hired them and I would check the toilet to see if it worked, regardless of what the plumber said.
100%, it's something I do struggle with because I enjoy building, and not marketing lol. But the latter is absolutely critical to even be able to continue building.

What you working on?
Yes, Skia uses the traditional method of tessellating path geometry on the CPU and then having the GPU handle transforming and shading it as if it were 3D geometry. Compare that with what we see here, which uses compute shaders for the whole process.
Realistically I've pretty much given up. The only thing is if we have school, organized events, sports - social interaction. Otherwise the (barely working) phone comes out - or the laptop which is required for all homework now. I'd love to do something but looking around the adults are just as addicted.
if what you are saying is that any deviation from the norm incurs a cost to your life, I agree. Some people are already abnormal so they can't pay that cost, but others can't pay simply because of some of the other choices they have made. I personally wouldn't call the latter a lack of privilege
WeWork, Uber, Airbnb, Doordash, UberEats....

At a certain scale of $$$, is private sector VC investment any less inefficient than state-backed enterprises, aka "government picking winners"?
> Why would you expect that if you stop working they won't stop paying you?
They aren't going to rely on someones self-written review to notice you haven't been working.

Chances are your manager could fill this out for you most of the time as they should have a good grasp of what you have been doing in your day to day.

Most of the time I can generate a list of what I have worked on via commit messages or ticket names to get a high level idea of what I have been doing. I still feel like my manager may have a better idea of what impact my changes have had then I do in some cases.
But does it accidentally words as much?
