By Iseman’s own description, the first two balloon launches were very rudimentary. He says they occurred in April somewhere in the state of Baja California, months before Make Sunsets was incorporated in October. Iseman says he pumped a few grams of sulfur dioxide into weather balloons and added what he estimated would be the right amount of helium to carry them into the stratosphere.

He expected they would burst under pressure at that altitude and release the particles. But it’s not clear whether that happened, where the balloons ended up, or what impact the particles had, because there was no monitoring equipment on board the balloons. Iseman also acknowledges that they did not seek any approvals from government authorities or scientific agencies, in Mexico or elsewhere, before the first two launches.

amazing !

Ublock plugin could solve that problem.
Is Borg significantly better than rsync to a btrfs or zfs volume, and then snapshotting that volume?
It's an interesting question. Maybe copyright shouldn't be shorter, but the better answer is something like a mechanical license to cover a music composition. After the first publication, anyone can remix for a set fee.

"Every country except the US" is a weird way of saying "a handful of rich countries". The US prison system is exceptional for its size, but not for its low quality.
Absolutely. Models are usually validated against the set number of conditions when possible, but it is impossible to validate all of the outputs across the operating range
One can always point to a historical Jesus, because there were many in the first century according to historians like Josephus. So, it is always a safe bet to say (from a historical point of view) that Jesus existed. Otherwise, a serious historian has to reach for a mythicist theory, which is much more difficult to prove. But that doesn't mean that THE Jesus of the biblical stories existed, most probably not, what we have is the combination of many such characters.
Wow nice approach.

Yes, dozens. 71 in one weekend is a huge number for one small department!

Just because this number sounded low to you as quoted in the headline doesn't mean it's not a big expensive problem for them. They can't ignore 911 calls.

Identical twins seem cheap and "cheating" in detective stories. This one does it a little differently, but still, it's kind of cheap. There's also a point where someone who's "dead" really isn't. Luckily, the movie is funny enough and interesting enough otherwise.

That "just" is holding an enormous weight there, friend. Have you seen the query responses themselves to know whether they're not not getting back bulk info? And have you seen the giant private-public systems they'll want to funnel this info into?

Just from my own research on surveillance, I got back a bunch of records in a FOIA lawsuit that included the the query results of a bunch of license plate scans. Large XML blobs. For whatever reason, they didn't redact a few thousand pages of those query results.

A lot more info was in those query responses than you'd imagine. For example, SSNs of people whose license plates matched the first three digits of a "person of interest"'s car.

Mind you, this was after them arguing for months, with affidavits, that they don't have audit logs. So, yeah.
On the related topic of Arabic names, I currently visiting Tunisia. The other day I asked one of my friends how to spell her name using Latin letters, and she said “you can use one C, two Cs, one K, it doesn’t matter.” Now I’m wondering how many people have problems because their names have been casually spelled a few different ways and linked to someone else’s name in accident.
Domain, sub-domain, either works.

Mastodon and indeed ActivityPub do not solve the spam problem. I think they were counting on rate limiting of user creation, and blocks of servers to solve it. However I have shown there is no rate limit on users, and blocks can be circumvented with a simple domain switch, or subdomain in many cases.

In short the current solutions do not scale.

My guess is the best option at this point is a proof of work system similar to bitmessage or what Microsoft proposed for email. Turn this on for any unsolicited request could solve it, or make it so expensive that its no longer worth it.

Other option would be to use the public/private keys that are required for signing for encryption as well. That would slow spammers down a bit.
Can you provide details of the order cancellation? That’s a new one.

Wasn’t the car telemetry only published because it went to court? Why are you upset with Musk when someone tries to defraud Tesla and they prove them wrong with data? No one else’s telemetry has been published. Meanwhile Uber have “god-mode” and can track every driver globally in realtime… and it was abused to stalk people.

SpaceX donated starlinks to Ukraine, and they did it ridiculously fast… Meanwhile Globalstar did nothing. And you’re upset with SpaceX for having some conditions? What were they that were so egregious?

What are the examples of banning? That are vastly different from pre-musk twitter. Do you mean the part where he banned people for releasing his real-time location? (After warning them, explaining it would get them suspended, and then doing it… and then reinstating them).

This super-villain narrative of Musk is hilariously comical. Where is it coming from?

- The other space companies are way worse than SpaceX and no one said anything

- The other car companies are way worse than Tesla and no one said anything

- Do we all remember Cambridge Analytica? But Musk cost cutting, and exposing internal workings of twitter is terrible for man kind.

It honestly feels like some kind of explicit narrative in a “Manufacturing Consent” kind of way. Why has the world turned on Musk?

Partytown is very exciting. We've been working with the team at Builder to implement it inside the Next.js script component, using the `worker` strategy. `next/script` helps you optimize loading third-party scripts, so Partytown was a great fit. Folks at Builder are a pleasure to work with.

My first thought was that more people were able to contact 911 because of the new satellite feature
I think OP was being sarcastic. I think that because they added TM (for trademark) after "Feature", which I take to mean sarcasm is being expressed in the sentence.

All that to say, myself (and likely OP) agree with your thoughts.
Strictly speaking there is no way to know anything, because you may happen to just be a momentary Boltzmann brain.
Sensible is the ISO 8601 standard with the RFC 3339. It's already been adopted by tech and governments and keeps all time big endian (bonus: it's alphabetical too). But LOL AmErIcaNs month first, right?
Except that in the past, Netflix has sent tweets saying things like "Love is sharing a password" [https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712] ...

That tweet, in my not-in-any-way-legal-opinion says that Netflix allows password sharing.

As such, it is not a clear cut example of unauthorised access.
It's important to note how 911 calls "fail": if you don't answer, emergency services assume the worst and respond as such.

So that's dozens of events where they have to send first responders out to see if there's a serious injury/fatality on the mountain because it could be nothing or you could have collided with a tree or fallen off a cliff.

The problem seems to be that Apple under-thought this feature. They made it one-size-fits-all instead of context sensitive. For example, maybe when it detects you're near a ski resort it asks you to switch into a skiing-friendly mode for the rest of the day. Same for amusement parks and other common pastimes that involve rapid deceleration events.
budget airlines, like swa, don't interline or partner with other airlines to save money.
Right. You're equating storm damage and armed attacks on infrastructure to insufficient capacity in general.
Truly amazing event and it makes me wonder what cyber-warfare occurs these days or was not made public in the past.
Some tricks:

1. See this job as a stepping stone to the next great opportunity and so you’re not working but taking this as an opportunity to learn a new skill

2. Not enjoying job can mean anxiety about the job, exercise / weights is good to kill the anxiety.

3. Try and get good at what you do and broaden and deepen your skill set so if this job falls through you can easily get the next one
Makes me think of this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tao_of_Physics I remember enjoying it a lot (not a physicist).

A term of art is a word or phrase whose use or meaning is specific to a particular field of endeavor.

In this case apparently historians mean something specific when they say "space" and there's a bunch of scholarship on it. I wasn't interested enough to dig too deeply, especially since googling it just brings up a bunch of stuff on the history of outer space exploration.
I think an objective look at the data clearly showed that the people dying or getting hospitalized were either elderly or had comorbidities. So vaccinating the 60 or 65+, obese, and those with comorbidities should have been enough while doing long term testing for the rest. Instead, we got mandates.
I believe its formal name is “modern standby (s0)”. Microsoft mandated it recently and most laptops have removed s3 sleep which used to work properly.
Even if this incident is the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back, the migration itself would be a multi-year project.
> followers of multiple different preachers would somehow come together, unanimously decide to forget their leaders and create a fake composite

You're assuming that there were leaders. Not really, the earlier christianity was the combination of several loose teachings taken from different sources, including jewish and pagan. They were then combined by Paul, who preached a celestial being, not a human, as their ultimate source. His writings were later harmonized with the tale of a human Jesus, who appeared on a somewhat remote past and in a remote country that had been destroyed by the Romans (Judea). So, no wonder that nobody disagreed about this tale, nobody had really seen it happening other than by "revelation".
This is not wholly accurate. While it is true that under the Obama administration some conservative groups were inappropriately targeted by the IRS, a report released by the Treasury Deparment's Inspector General in 2017 found that such inappropriate targeting dated back to 2004 and had affected liberal organizations as well, meaning the misconduct was non-partisan in nature [1].

“Why has the world turned on Musk?”. You seriously don’t know? He behaves like a dick. In public. Maybe the other space companies and car companies are worse, but Musk flaunts his dickishness. They do it on the quiet, with PR companies to whitewash their actions. Just because he does it in public doesn’t make him less of a dick though. Just makes him a very easy target.

> All you needed was the person's name, address, SSN and DOB. This info has been exposed on pretty much most Americans for many years now.

Yes, but you can change your SSN anytime, it is still considered confidential info and the US has no easily changeable national ID system.

Most banks let you take over an account with just SSN and knowledge of debitcard number (without cvv code) and sometimes dob.

If you think your ssn is exposed don't count on companies and government bureaus not relying on it. Change it.
If you are so close to Linus, I suggest you take the discussion about this communication style up with him directly, instead of airing your personal quibbles/laundry with him on HN.
Trane looks very cool. I think it's also a great idea to have example (guitar, rust) projects that show the tool in action.

How do you find yourself engaging with it? A big positive for me of Anki is the ease with which I can review a single fact (~seconds). It looks like Trane is intended for more dedicated situations, probably for ~tens of minutes at a time. Is that accurate? I'm basing this off of playing with the Rustlings example.
Ask HN: What programming or math advice would you love to give out in 2023?
My advice for CS or mathy people in 2023 would be:

1. CS/Programming - Learn more about programming languages and how they work. Learning it creates mental models which can help you pick up new languages faster and use them more judiciously. Check out Dan Grossman's 3 part Programming Langauages course on Coursera. Or maybe learn some PL Theory. There are many books. Pick what suits you.

2. Math - Learn how to solve Fermi problems or approximation problems. It is also known as Street Fighting Mathematics. It helps develop intuition as to what the answer to a problem can be and provides you with a vague foggy path nonetheless a path to start progressing forward.
You described politics not performance. 40-50 hours is pretty standard across most industries. It’s rare to find non-unionised places that truly do 40 hours. I’d say in the software industry 50 - 60 is gut-feel where I see a lot of people working (just my own personal network).

I think companies that went remote probably automatically shifted it up towards 50 as default, just because the home/work separation became more leaky.

(No data to back any of this up, but I’m still unconvinced that the FAANGs are anything special other than being big mega-corps)
huge, big, small, all of them, startup, fortune 500, international bank, local government services. errors occur due to a huge number of reasons: ISPs, lack of testing, connection issues, outdated tech, cdns, certificates, javascript, js minifiers, assumptions made by devs/po’s. basically the web is so huge and complex that websites will fail in any random number of ways.
I wrote a story for kuro5hin.org (RIP) about the passenger who called me from jail, because he remembered my phone number.

Who Are Your Lifelines? - https://www.taxiwars.org/p/who-are-your-lifelines.html (2015)

That passenger recently reappeared on me. He's still "imaginary", and is still working on getting a plastic ID card. Part of his predicament has to do with [redacted]. Supposedly. In 2016, this passenger's sister told me some of the details about how her brother got trapped in his little emotional rut, when he was about 18 years old. I still have the postcard he sent me from jail, circa 2016. He greatly appreciated my efforts to keep him alive while on the jail's starvation diet.

I exercise my mental phonebook regularly on account of this passenger.

It's been almost 30 years since I left the service and my US Government Skillcraft black pen still works. I rarely use it and never changed the cartridge. I guess there is something to be said for MIL-SPEC.
The idea with what I call "bend-over-just-over-double pricing strategy" is to figure out the ceiling price of a menu item and double it. It allows the patrons to feel like they are in the right place.
Well, I would recommend you go and actually compare the financials of the companies at the time they produced the same amount of vehicles.

Seriously, go and actually do the exercise, your mind will be blown.
It's nice that we can agree that this come down to a Euro-centric judgement as to what constitutes "civilisation".

If it's a matter of long establish trade routes, borders, territory, stone housing, multi generational aqua culture infrastructure, agriculture, oral transmission of history, etc. then yes, civilised.

If it's a case of a bunch of euro colonisers going "Yeah, Nuh" then no, not civilised.

Source? And why are the non-mRNA vax not showing this effect?

> that still keeps me from being hospitalized over being nakedly exposed like we were in the early days of that pandemic

Unless you were elderly (over 60 or 65) or have comorbidities, it should have at least been a choice to take it or not take it. Instead we got mandates and sold the dream of the vax ending the pandemic.
This reminds me when I was younger my family would bring walkie talkies to talk to each other when skiing. But they didn't work well or at all if you were on different mountains, in a valley, etc. It's a wonder we were able to not get lost lol
Can you give Kyoto Common Lisp more reference information? I'm interested in it.
Toyota could if it really wanted to, but there's no evidence it wants to. Toyota seems to still believe that hydrogen is going to be the next big thing Any Day Now. In the meantime, they keep making the Prius (a hybrid), but that's as electrified as they seem to want to go. It's quite sad really.
I don't think that comment is talking about "bots". Here: I just scrolled down a bit and found this user in this same thread.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=aaron695

My theory is that such users do know their status but just figure it doesn't matter and that people like me--who absolutely browse the site with showdead and would want all my friends to as well, as I don't want to not hear what someone says merely because they got angry--do read their content, and people like us are their true audience.
the other 3 (expensive) hacks I can think of are charter a flight, and draft people stuck in the same situation to help defray costs, rent a 15-passenger van or bus to do it; buy any vehicle you can find and then resell it at the other end
> There are far less contemporaneous sources for Alexander the Great

Totally untrue, there is archeological evidence for Alexander from day 1 of his conquests. Jesus has zero contemporaneous sources, everyone who wrote about him was living after his supposed death, and said what his followers were claiming at the time (hearsay).

My American flight on Monday was delayed (crew rest requirement was the reason given, which actually means not enough crew). It was a connecting flight so once it was about 90 min delayed it wouldn’t be possible to make the other leg.

AA live chat said they couldn’t help (other than rebooking 2 days later which would be pointless) but when I called they were able to drop the connection inbound and outbound so I could drive to the hub city airport (cost me like 2 hours each way, nbd).

They fixed it in like 3 minutes on the phone but it seems like they have to do it in a super hacky way because I had to check in at the airport which was no fun with long holiday lines.
IP address block seems unlikely when people have devices that may be connecting to different networks (eg mobile and wifi) at same time.
Aspartame is one of the most exhaustively studied ingredients in the human food supply; studies like these need to be much more concrete to raise concern.
> following the Apple guidance, where all apps should look like they were made by the same company

Mac users don't want all GUI apps to look alike; however, they should follow macOS UI/UX guidelines regarding copy/paste, drag and drop, keyboard conventions, etc. The whole point is to not have users having to relearn these basics for every new application.

Developers generally get these conventions "for free" by using the frameworks built-in to macOS. That doesn't prevent developers from creating custom, stylized interfaces if that's what's needed.

Even Apple's pro apps (Final Cut, Logic, etc.) look quite different from those that are bundled with macOS such as iMovie and Garageband.
Please try to figure out on your own why it is a dangerous idea. If I would try to argue my point, you would just argue me back.

All I will tell you is that there were 4 upvotes for my comment so you can be confident that the idea is not entirely unreasonable.
Tesla’s 2022 Collapse Hits 69% After Deepest Selloff Since April
Bezos acts like a dick too. His space company is materially worse in every way. Amazon is famous for being a shitty place to work. We don’t even know what influence he has on the Washington Post, because he does it in secret.

It’s weird you prefer it to be PR-whitewashed rather than just see it for what it is.
I wouldn’t say “boards”. The Sun MMU is/was quite simple (SRAM and a little TTL), only taking a small part of something like a 3/50 motherboard.
One (small) nice update in Ventura that is often overlooked is Metal 3 support, which is a pretty neat graphics API upgrade.
unlike the others where your only option is a single database, some keepass apps allows you to have multiple databases open at a time which means you can split up your sites/passwords depending on how important they are and have a different levels of security for each one.

i have 1 vault with any important things and the other one just has everything else and i don't need to worry as much about the security of it or worry about where its stored and if that's secure.

its also great not having to type in a long master password just to get the login details for some small forum where it really wouldnt be a huge deal if somebody got access that vault. half of passwords in that vault are there mainly because i want them to be autofilled, not because i need to keep them secure
