The law says there's an offence "attach themselves to another person, to an object or to land" — which could include holding hands — but for "being equipped" it needs to be an object: "A person commits an offence if they have an object with them in a place other than a dwelling with the intention that it may be used in the course of or in connection with the commission by any person of an offence under section 1(1) (offence of locking on)."

I'll not be at all surprised if later this year the Metropolitan Police arrest protesters from linking arms while surrounding a building or blocking a road.
Some of the hardest and memorable troubleshooting DNS problems (for me) are:

1. Default-DENY firewall policy mandates the admin being a DNS protocol expert and often requires a refresher (of own volition or ego-checkingj.

2. Gateway Firewall blocked the incoming response UDP of authoritative record transfers of secondary authoritative DNS. Firewall admin goofs often and delay discovery of DNS outage is often the result due to poor network error logging

3. Bastion (one kind of the split horizons) DNS server over multiview DNS is ALMOST always preferable in security theatre.

4. Forgetting to disable Firefox’s DoH after full DNS block at border gateway. Used Firefox policy for corporate and HomeLab network (during cutover from public resolvers to internal homeLab/corporate resolver).

5. Private DNSSEC root servers, setup of (in case of root DNS outages)

6. Negative cache resolution by TTL, balancing the

7. cache spillage prevention of internal corporate DNS records being exposed

8. Mastering resolv.conf (especially against incoming replacement by systemd-resolved)

Most still hit me 10 years later despite re-reviewing my private DNS HOWTOs. Some of above experiences that I have posted on my website by DNS topic [1].

Website caveat: Still not sorry that Google Chrome still cannot HTTPS-negotiate for HTTP/1.3-only (ignore HTTP/2) with just only the ChaCha (no AES/RSA) algorithm. Use a different browser, that’s my firm security stance. (Most corporate firewall should be blocking HTTP/2 until their transparent HTTP proxy have been upgrade to handle HTTP/2 because its inline selective blocking within a HTTP/2 TLS stream is still a thorny hurdle.)

Please show a single publication that does what you claim it does. A single one.

I don't think they exist, or if they do they will not be the prominent highly cited ones. Yes, storage and methanation and electrolysis are expensive. These expenses are explicitly modeled in the energy system models. Modeling these expenses for a complete system that satisfies the security of supply constraints is the very essence of what these models do [1]. Criticism against them would be exactly that they don't assume some market/price dynamics but a perfect central planner.

Flexible loads are a fundamentally different thing than brownouts. Electricity consumers opt in to being flexible, and this is about sophisticated industrial consumers, not private consumers anyway. The market mechanism you describe would only be true for energy-only markets anyway, and no one is proposing energy only markets for primary and secondary control energy that balances out short term variability.

[1] E.g. Figure 7 in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.05290.pdf gives the cost breakdown for a 0-Carbon configuration of generation storage (and optionally transmission expansion) investment that can serve all loads for the entire year under different assumptions for other energy sectors participation in flexibility provision. While this modeling set up is a lower bound on the costs, a deeper analysis shows that this is actually pretty accurate especially when storage investment is reasonably high, as the overall storage cost is dominated by seasonal variability which is highly regular.

So if you are a producer that wants "critically acclaimed" and "wins awards", author , hire her ? Maybe that answers why she is getting paid that much.

> Writing 1000 episodes of those shows isn't comparable to a single good bond film. This is why quantity and quality are not the same.

That's debatable. Personally I wasn't impressed with neither her work or last few James Bond (with the last one being the best of the lot.)

I think you (and, judging by the moderation, other people on HN) mistakenly believe I don't support the right to protest, I very much do, and have a habit of supporting (both financially and otherwise) various civil liberties organizations.

However I do like to see logical, robust arguments.

> "Our tolerance for any disruption, whether through protest or otherwise, will be low."

> "We will deal robustly with anyone intent on undermining this celebration."

(and then later)

> And yet... people were arrested for having signs along the route.

Be clear in what it is you object to. It seems like you want to attack the hypocrisy of arresting non-disruptive protests.

Quoting the police saying disruption will not be be allowed, when instead you are concerned about non-disruptive protesters being arrested, weakens and distracts from your argument.
Yep, same.

Django can also serve a boatload of concurrent users, way more than one would think. It is a boring, old-fashioned, but stable and very functional framework.
thank you for clarifying. that makes sense and does sound nice to re-render the same line instead of logging a new line each time. I do think it would be simpler/faster (albeit maybe not nicer) to log a message w/ timestamp to accomplish the same thing, putting this in the "nice to have" category.
The devil (as ever) is in the detail though. A "proper, written constitution" is of little value if the next parliament can just amend it.

People seem to look across the pond with envy at the US, neatly forgetting the completely different arrangements that make their constitution hard to amend, and also forgetting the problems that arise from having a hard-to-amend constitution (e.g. the second amendment).
I think there's a difference between protesting an event and protesting individuals seeking medical help.
So what? Google's reputation is well established. Nest customers know perfectly well what they're getting into.
That sounds pretty problematic unless you understand what Dharma means. Dharma is not religion, it's meaning is close to universal duty based on human values.

Can you think of any situation where you could be justified to take a life? Can you think of situations where all modern societies take lives for the greater good?

That answer is pretty rubbish though.

Not really. This one happens because the incentives are aligned in a specific way. (The one you point out would also happen, no doubt, given enough time)
The most frustrating thing for me is that whenever you talk to people in the UK about this stuff you notice there is this cultural attitude that if you're sticking your neck out too much that its somehow your fault.

People here don't care about being monitored by CCTV because they believe that so long as you keep your head down you'll be fine – and that any respectable person is going to keep their head down anyway.

You'll also find a lot of people here just dislike the act of protest in general. Again, I think it's because protest involves drawing attention to yourself which a large percentage of people here dislike on an instinctive level. So you find even the most agreeable protests seem to receive some level of pushback and shame which I think bleeds into our attitude towards policing. That said, I don't know what it's like in other countries. I just get the sense that the UK has a much more conformist attitude which enables the state to take a more authoritarian approach to policing protest here.

As an example, I'm not an anti-monarch but I was extremely angry about how the police handled anti-monarch protestors during the coronation. Yet when I've spoken to people about this over the weekend, most people have expressed to me that it was rude for there to be protestors at the coronation... But that's the point of protest!! Still, this doesn't change the fact that the act of protest is largely incompatible with our otherwise polite and conformist culture.
Explain to me how this is a strawman argument please, given it’s a direct quote from the article?

> The assumption that "higher good" should be important to me more than my own life is laughable.

I don't think it is laughable at all. People across the planet, history and culture all identified a highest good, which clearly isn't one's self-preservation. For one because then there are multiple highest goods which are all in competition with each other, and also because at some point we die, so all our effort ends up being futile.

> Why should we be just slaves to the whatever group of people that decides what "higher good" is?

I don't think it is decided by anyone the same way 2+2=4 isn't decided. It is recognized. But if you don't trust other humans to decide or even know what the highest good is, why would you trust yourself. Aren't you just a human as well?
In Australia I don't really hearing much of an anti-monarchy argument in school, but also not a pro-monarchy argument either. There was just a statement of fact about the monarchy that we live in.
> Anyway, you wouldn't be the first opinionated junior developer that gets a reality check this way.

hahajahha!!! This guy just called me a junior dev. I guess that is possible. To work 17 years in the same profession, being payed, mostly as a temp contractor, having to prove your chops over and over again every year or so, but still somehow never learning anything.
Thanks bro. From today on, I'll consider myself a junior web dev. You showed me the truth with your wise words.

> but your failure is actually convincing others of those amazing abilities and skills you have.

In three weeks, I got one ticket. T had to insist on being given a ticket. Ticket said fix the CSS for the login page, I fixed the CSS for ALL pages. Did you get that? All pages. You are starting to sound like my boss, asking me over and over again if the CSS was fixed even after the scrum board said so, the git history said so, I said so in daily stand-ups, and I DMed him so in slack. Wow! I guess am a failure then. Maybe I should have jumped on top of my table and repeatedly screamed "I did it! I did it! I did it!". Is that how you think I should have "convinced others of those amazing abilities". Honest question. Please let me know what else I should have done.

> They told you you don't know how to use your tools. In other words that you were not being professional.

Firefox, or even Chrome for that matter, is not a web dev tool. It is a browser. You use it to browse. Whatever you choose to browse, is your choice. Can you show me one, even just one job ad, from anywhere in this world that says "must professionally only use chrome as their web browser"?

> The fact that you are on HN complaining about this, tells me a lot. It's a bit immature behavior and you are burning a few bridges like that. That combined with a few things that maybe didn't go that well in your work in the first weeks would be a gigantic red flag for a manager.

Honestly, I don't care about your opinion. The fact that you are complaining about me complaining tells me a lot about you. Very immature, combined with some other petty arguments you have raised.
The Bhagavad Gita is a conversation between a warrior called Arjuna and Krishna

Krishna affirms the need for Arjuna to take part in an on-going epic war

I haven't read it myself but I take it more as a more cultural and less philosophical Hindu version of Plato's Republic rather than something like the Torah/Bible/Qur'an

The Bhagavad Gita is very different to the sacred texts of the Semitic religions
It seemed like Jobs at Apple and Gates at Microsoft avoided a huge amount of organizational bullshit via a technical fleet-in-being doctrine. [0]

Even if their time and attention were finite, they inspired a credible worry throughout the company that they might suprisingly appear and demand answers on why a team is @$&@ing up tech / UX, as PMs/VPs rightly asked themselves "Do I want to be explaining my behavior to X?"

Which seemed to tamp down on the amount of inter-fiefdom rivalries and wasted time.

I don't get the impression many people are worried about Pichai breathing tech/ UX fire from on high in the same way.

Not really, the problem is the bot might not do a good job of explaining the thing in isolation.

There is no concept of non believer in the dharmic faith systems, everyone is allowed to have their belief systems and one faith doesn't impinge on others belief or faith. So, the concept of taking a life for that does not exist.

The whole concept of "is taking a life okay for dharma" means something else. Dharma does not mean religion. In fact the specific example of Bhagvad Gita is, a warrior prince is in doubts about fighting his cousins for his kingdom because it will lead to bloodshed. It is mentioned as he is a prince it is his duty to fight for his kingdom, this is alright.

An example for this will be, if in the current Russia Ukraine conflict Russia invades Ukraine; it is in the dharma of the Ukraine's military to fight them even if it causes bloodshed. However, the whole concept of Dharma and how a battle should be conducted would forbid some things that you actually end up seeing in real world conflicts.

I have a Nest V3 Thermostat (my second one, after I moved recently I installed one in the new house again, it's still the most beautiful OpenTherm thermostat out there, not that there are any other good options, just read the reviews).

I've been reading "Build" by Tony Fadell. It's just painful to read what Nest could have been. The V3 is nice, but there are still rough edges, the app loads slowly for example (no doubt because it needs data from the device via a cloud). And it is absolutely ridiculous how much trouble it is to let it talk to Home Assistant. Of course Tony is focused on the normal users (who just want stuff to work together, they don't care about open local APIs or Matter for example), which is a shame but understandable.

At this point: Please Google just opensource the firmware or something, add a local api and be done with it. It feels like they just don't want to support the device. Such a shame, it's such a nice thermostat (hardware-wise an ethernet cable to the heatlink would have been nice, to optionally drop the dependency on wireless, I'd pay for that).
They could do that on a regular basis though, arrest, release, say sorry, nothing to see.

There is indoctrination and manipulation going on at all levels. Can't speak about the Netherlands or Denmark, but in Spain the press never published anything remotely negative about the previous king, we typically had to find out from foreign press or minority separatist press. At one point, there was so much stench of degeneracy and corruption from that king (plus the ascent of a left-wing party with anti-monarchy tendencies in polls) that the powers that be apparently decided that it wasn't possible to keep the people content about him anymore, so they made him abdicate.

Now the press does talk somewhat about his exploits (probably disproportionally little, but it does) while the current king is reported as basically a saint and nothing remotely bad is ever said about him (to his credit he doesn't seem as much of a thief as his father, but if you read the mainstream Spanish press, you would think he pisses gold).
Despite republican propaganda there is nothing inherently evil about monarchies or inherently good about democracies.

Nor, judging by recent history, one is more prone to infringing civil and human rights than the other.

...where to begin.

It's really frustrating when your kid goes to a place all day where their most important job, by far, is to teach the kid to read, and they fail to do it, and you have to pick up the pieces.

A parent who has the time, energy, and skill to teach their child to read after work is blessed. Same goes for the kid - sometimes kids come home tired after school and don't want to be subjected to more learning activities!

I say this as a parent who has spent a lot of energy teaching both of my kids to read. The younger one has been much harder than the other. And I am just praying that what the school is doing is working, because it's a struggle to get her to spend even more time sitting and focused on page after page of black and white.

I've seen some of the school materials and they are phonics-based, so I think it's on the right track, but a lot depends on the teacher. A couple months ago I went to a parent teacher conference for her where the teacher talked as if she could be sure the little one would be fine, because she'd taught her brother who got concepts very quickly. And I had to explain that actually no, the little one isn't the same, she isn't anywhere near where her brother was at that age, and I laid out the specifics. I did manage to get the teacher to make a bit of a surprised face and take some notes about it.

People sometimes romanticize the experience of having children too much. In reality it can be a struggle with no assurance that things are going to be okay. And the guilt of leaving your child struggling with an essential life skill feels like sinking to the bottom of the ocean. My little one is currently very young but if she continues to lag, who knows what I will do? I might have to destroy my work schedule to home school her. I love my job and it brings in truckloads of money for the family, but am I going to spend all my time on that and let my kid be failed by the people I pay to help her? Not a chance.
All the other options that were mentioned are open-source and available to public usage. They actually exist.

Mojo on the other hand has an empty Github repo, no downloads, and no public access. You need to get approval from Modular Inc before you can even use a demo of Mojo.

Clicking the "Get started with Mojo" or the "Request access" buttons take you to the same page with a form that asks your full name and email address, but giving them your personal info does not actually give you access to Mojo. It just gives you the following message until someone at Modular Inc vets your application.

> We will contact you as soon as we are ready to onboard you into our early preview program.

All the other options mentioned in this thread actually have downloads and repos that you can check out, and you don't need to fill an application form to "Request access". They exist, right now.
> I won’t disagree with this. It could be a part of the main spec, but there’s some novelty knowing you could do a ‘complete’ server or client in a day. There are certainly different modern expectations than compared to IRC. Compared to the OP, barebones XMPP is much closer to a ‘simple chat’.

Novelty sure but it's not really complete in terms of what a user expects. I still use IRC a lot too but with a client that provides all the mod cons I need. Also, nobody writes a protocol handler from scratch anymore. People writing a matrix client will simply use libmatrix.

There's just the reality that "simple chat" akin to ICQ in its early days, is just not what people want anymore. It's not a benefit anymore IMO.

I think the XMPP community is really too focused on architectural cleanliness than on offering the user what they want. Which is their prerogative, sure. But it's mine to choose the chat network that suits me best. This is how I moved to Matrix.

> XMPP + libpurple were trying to do similar things. For a hot minute everyone, even the like of Facebook Chat and whatever Google’s chat was named at the time, was using XMPP til they all decided to go for a proprietary option and users had the option to chat from anywhere with anyone. That doesn’t discount Matrix for doing something needed now. Proprietary chat lock-in runs in cycles. Here’s to hoping they don’t adopt & abandon Matrix.

Yeah I know, they killed federation, I guess mainly because of marketing. If google chat users can reach facebook chat users there's no need to sign up for facebook chat, thus less data mining for facebook, and lower numbers in their growth hacking charts. Keeping users in the walled garden is a goal, not a side-effect.

This is also why I dislike Signal so much, they even ban other versions of their supposedly open client. I'll never adopt that as a whatsapp replacement because it's simply no better in terms of lock-in. I don't want yet another walled garden. Signal solves one or 2 problems of whatsapp but for me to adopt something as the be-all-end-all chat app it will have to solve all or at least most of them.

It doesn't really matter if the third party apps adopt Matrix and stop federating. It won't be any worse than it is now. I'll just bridge where needed.
