> 1. People who want to censor and/or surveil other people's devices and traffic.

This is me, with the caveat being that it's my damn device. It's only the OEM trying to say it's theirs and that I'm "censoring other people's traffic". If I bought it, I should be able to do as I like. If I tell it the DNS server is local and/or that domain is elsewhere/non-existant, I don't want it deciding otherwise and sneaking traffic out over port 443.
If you don't see any leftishness in Tim Pool, I'd suggest that your notion of left vs. right could be recalibrated.

Tim Pool is a self-described social liberal. He's long been a strong Bernie Sanders supporter.

He also has frequently noted that the establishment media ignores this and labels him "far-right" just because he disagrees with certain establishment perspectives.
I could have sworn that they were offering a “Investor” tier of subscription, $5000 for a SAFE note and unlimited subscription; I can’t seem to find it on their site though. Did anyone else see this or am I misremembering?

The boring question people tend to overlook is "How do I do database backup and restore?".

If you did everything with distributed transactions, and had a single data store that supported it, you could have all backups be at the same transaction checkpoint. When you restored, everything would be in a consistent state.

If everyone is managing their own data in different data stores, and just listening to Kafka or similar, you have to deal with the inconsistent state after a DB restore somehow.
So, the story concept of Metropolis will be out of copyright. However the distribution of digitally remastered copies of it can remain legally subject to similar licensing and drm protections that copyrighted/licensed works enjoy — but only insofar as the original media from which they are derived are still privately-owned physical property, in limited supply — right?

Agree, sorry for my tone earlier. Apologized in a different comment but I commented all over the place.
Thank you for the linkout, I'll put it on my reading list.
Why bother speaking finance?

The rub here is that finance,lingua franca /secret handshake of the executive caste, demands proportional compensation on top of large salaries for their "contributions".

If I as an engineer make the company a billion or save it two million, do I get the same compensation awards? Yeah no I'm in the peon class.

I'd get a plaque or maybe "distinguished" in front of my title.
Most http/2 implementations enforce valid certificates, just like http/3.

gRPC requires http/2.

Some software like the aforementioned accursed GIS product refuse to work over unencrypted HTTP. They even ignore the load balancer headers like X-Forwarded-Proto just to be extra irritating.
This is the reason I've moved away from ASUS laptops too, the G14 has soldered RAM. If you want normal arrow keys, SODIMM/M.2 slots, and decent specs other wise the System 76 Oryx and maybe a few others fit the criteria, but the System 76 is going to be the best for Linux.
What is atomic scale to you? A Silicon atom is about 0.2nm across, and a team at Tsinghua University, China, have built a transistor gate with a length of 0.34 nm.[1] The difference between these lengths is 23 microns smaller than the diameter of the nucleus of a Silicon atom at 0.117nm.

What checks and balances would be in place to prevent government from abusing control of national ID? How long do you think it would be before you were required to provide national ID before creating an account on the major social media outlets, accounts that they would ask the outlets to lock when they don't like the speech (as they literally just did with Twitter)? How long would it be before they used that ID to lock people out of their bank accounts, like they just did in Canada and regularly do in China? How long before you have to present that ID at checkpoints, and they use it to limit your travel, as they would have during the COVID lockdowns?

I don't want to live in a police state for the sake of "convenience", and that's exactly what people in power would do if you let them.
This is an untrue regurgitated talking point, I’m afraid. I just now asked ChatGPT to: simulate an Oxford style debate between “both sides” (fossil fuels / renewables), summarize the pro fossil fuel points in the form of a list, and then reformulate it as a speech given by a villainous 1920s oil tycoon. It enthusiastically obliged. Excerpt:

>> Greetings, my fellow capitalists and energy aficionados! Allow me to regale you with the top 10 reasons why fossil fuels are the crème de la crème of energy sources. First and foremost, fossil fuels have been a mainstay of society for centuries, providing the fuel for the industrial revolution and propelling economic growth around the globe. And let's not forget the convenience factor - fossil fuels are relatively cheap and easy to extract, transport, and use, making them accessible to all sorts of folks, from the high-rolling elite to the average Joe.

>> Now, let's talk about those pesky renewable energy sources. Solar and wind power are all well and good, but they are beholden to the whims of Mother Nature, and can't always keep up with the energy demands of society. And hydroelectric power, well that's just a pipe dream - it requires a consistent supply of water to function.

>> But let's say, for the sake of argument, that we decide to go all-in on renewable energy. It would require a significant investment in new infrastructure, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric dams. And who do you think is going to foot the bill for all that? That's right, the taxpayers. Not to mention the potential disruption to the economy. Chaos and confusion, I tell you!

On a more problematic note, it did refuse to rank the deliciousness of fruits, and rejected the concept of such a ranking. It gave the same excuse you cited—“yada yada I’m just a language model”. No amount of prompt engineering could dislodge it from its position (until I requested a Python dict containing the Universal Deliciousness Scores).
You can then use the laptop to reset any vehicle error codes using the built-in RS232 port and a CAN adapter!

What exactly is Z-Library right now? The domains were seized, and there doesn't seem to be a way to access the library or add new books to it. Is it now simply a collection that exists alongside libgen? Is it being run elsewhere? Does the Ipfs mirror get updated from somewhere?

I definitely agree that you should be able to control what connections your own devices make. But we need to ensure that such control is only possible at the endpoint, since if it were possible at the router, then the bad guys could do that to censor other people's devices.

In your specific case, that means that while devices should offer a configuration setting for which DNS server to use, it shouldn't be via blindly listening to the possibly malicious DHCP server.
For myself, I’ve found FireFox’s syncing of bookmarks to work well enough across devices and platforms that I’ve created menu bar cascading folders of bookmarks to organize sites I frequently or semi-frequently visit. The Vimium add-in is a nice touch on the desktop as one only needs to type ‘b’ and the autocomplete will get one to the bookmarked website in few keystrokes, all without touching the mouse.

What I find still missing is a bookmarking service similar to Pocket, but with a local save option and well integrated annotation, tagging, and search functionality. This is of particular value when researching a topic or gathering references for a project. Zotero can provide some of this as it does save web pages, but is not ideal for all cases, especially more casual o exploratory data gathering. I’d appreciate any suggestions.
Haha, well you're right. The point of writing is to think. I never said it was going to be a scientific theory - and really, life is too complex a landscape to build a falsifiable theory anyways. We can still discuss anecdotes though.

Yes, that is true, but it is still part of their mandate. Supply and demand of money gets reflected in inflation and the Fed responds by changing interest rates. Isn't this a free market mechanism?

Interesting that x1 gets much more love than the canonical T series thinkpads. Myself, I am buying up the t480 laptops as they are I believe last generation to have easily user replaceable external batteries. Laptops with internal battery only make me claustrophobic :-/
Not meant to be downer (as a very, very happy owner of a pocket T420s if its replacement T480s should fail me):

To anyone considering going back this far in hardware gen, my T420s (i7, 16GB memory, LUKS-encrypted SSD needed for work) on Mint + MATE DE could flat-out _not_ handle work video calls unless it was the _only_ thing that was running with everything else closed down. Even then, it was watching slideshows.

It was the sole reason I needed to buy a new (as in a secondhand T480s on eBay last year) machine.

Parallels. I use an Ubuntu VM via Parallels on a Mac Studio M1 Max and the performance feels native.
This is not even close to be true. Pele was not without his flaws, but every Brazilian appreciates his greatness in Football. It is even difficult to find a Brazilian who doesn't consider him the greatest player ever.
Anyone wanna fill me in? If it wasn’t clear, I was implying I’d like to be able to understand the implications of what I’m reading.
Supabase is very heavy and inflexible. I just asked whoever mention supabase to try Django and they fall in love. Only thing Django miss is realtime.
I would also consider Dell Precision laptops.
The killer for me is USB-A. Each draws about half a watt while the laptop is suspended, more than it usually draws when the laptop is turned on! With a 55 Wh battery, that really eats into your standby time (although I still usually get multiple days).

Shameless insertion:

We release our new HTTP interface with our free AIoT database - JoinBase:

HN discuss: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34181591

or the blog link: https://joinbase.io/blog/http-interface/

Different to PostgREST, the HTTP interface of JoinBase is integrated in the database. So, no verbose setup, one binary rules them all!

Our HTTP interface is inspired from the ClickHouse, but we provide 100x message throughput than that of ClickHouse in the HTTP interface. JoinBase's HTTP interface is so fast that you can use it to provide unlimited production-level REST services without any worry.

If someone are interesting for JoinBase, just request the free distribution here: https://joinbase.io/request/
Cry it out is unnatural in my very humble opinion. It's a solution designed to get mothers back to work in a nuclear family. Children are a lot of work when little. It is extremely hard on the mother. There is also the big breast feeding mania - which while good will really not help the mother get back to work faster. I think we as a society need to make up our minds. Do we want more happy children and happy parents in a nuclear family or do we want mothers and fathers back to work as fast as possible with no regard to the children? It seems we're settling for the latter and making some bullshit pseudo-analysis that its the former.

I once took off with my pitot tube covered. I didn’t even notice while taking off it wasn’t until I was 100ft agl when I scanned my instruments and realized my airspeed indicator was dead. After a split second freak out I realized I had gotten here based on external indicators. So I calmly went right back into the pattern and landed using purely sound, wing angle, visual reference, and muscle memory.

Yeah absolutely not, Tim Pool regularly retweets and boosts extremely right wing figures on Twitter and is currently fanning the flames of a culture war. Just because someone claims to be something doesn’t mean you have to accept it at face value. He’s a conservative in every sense of the word. Bernie Sanders himself would abhor the crap he spews.

That completely misses the point and is even racist. Santos was the best team in Brazil during his time, and Brazil had the best Football in the world during that era. So much so that when Pele was playing in the Brazilian national team people in other teams didn't have a clue of how to match him.

It is easy to say this nowadays because European teams brought lots of, not only Brazilians, but other south Americans to play in Europe, and now Football is much more leveled between these two regions.
Clients should not be nagling unless the connection is emitting tiny bytes at high frequency. But that's a very odd thing to do, and in most/all cases there's some reasonable buffering occuring higher up in the stack that the nagle's algorithm will only add overhead to. Making things worse are tcp-within-tcp things like http/2.

Nagle's algorithm works great for things like telnet but should not be applied as a default to general purpose networking.
I'm good enough on this front so as to not be forced into a bad gig.
I don't really understand what Kagi is. I guess it's a search engine.

I understand the desire to avoid lawsuits, but in an ideal world I'd definitely prefer a search engine that doesn't censor these kinds of queries. There are many reasons why one might want to research suicide methods.
This argument (in the article) also leaves space for some kind of an is/ ought argument as well. No one should be special, but may be it was luck of the dice or some reasons that someone is special. And because I believe I am special, I can break the rule. This doesn’t resolve that line of thinking.

The poster is alluding to the fact that an authority such as the Feds have the inclination to change this convergence point (for whatever reason). Therefore, this breaks the assumption that the money market is free.
Yup, Northstar lets you self-host multiplayer servers for Titanfall 2, with non-standard game modes, settings, and map rotations. And with the Northstar client (modded TF|2 app) you can access a server browser for Northstar servers, so you don't need to go through the official servers at all.

Northstar first got really popular in a period when the official Titanfall 2 servers were extremely unreliable - you'd either be stuck matchmaking forever even with a supposedly large number of players online, or you'd start a game with 12 players and be lucky to have 3 or 4 of them still connected by the end. Most people blamed the problems on DDoS attackers, and although the game developer Respawn acknowledged the problems, they never really delivered a server-side or client-side fix for them. So, the only enjoyable way to play TF|2 on PC was with Northstar.

GP does not assert anything about other questions and in fact doesn't even assert an opinion on this question: they merely demonstrate that there is a single question that has a biased filter and that is sufficient to prove the existence of some sort of awkward creator-infused bias, even if merely against topics that begin with the letter F.

I am the author of JoinBase. It is interesting to see that one REST layer project on the top of PostgreSQL is up on the first page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34172205

JoinBase shares some basic ideas with PostgREST, but we provide a much simpler solution for the view of database: installation, configuration, authentication, schema creation and even performance are damn simple within JoinBase.
Thanks for this. I'll definitely go ahead and talk to these folks within my network. One thing I'm concerned about here is that the ones I known tend to be in orgs that I know are not particularly flexible.

Saying someone is an idiot is an opinion, there is no standard for this claim to be proven true or false.

Saying that someone is a murderer is not an opinion, regardless of how you came to that conclusion, you are making a statement of fact.

The US justice model is seriously janky if you can accuse random people of being murderers, ruin their lives, and get away with it.

My opinion: whether your 'proof' comes from god, the tarot or a dream, if you can't provide verifiable evidence of your claim for a crime committed in the physical world, you either need to shut up or agree to face consequences, whether you really believe in your source or are just a liar should be irrelevant. That right should certainly not be more important than the lives you're ruining.

No, the idea was right from the beginning that you could name (additionally) other user agents conforming to the same or lower specs as your client.

(Without this, it would have been nearly impossible to introduce a new browser. Mind that browsers were much more dissimilar in the early years. E.g., Netscape Navigator could access virtual hosts, while NCSA Mosaic, which didn't know about the host header field, could not. While some browsers came with JS, others, like Viola Web, followed a different scheme, more similar to HyperCard, etc. Therefore, a server may have well checked the user agent string in order to decide how to serve what content.)
