Dealers on darknet markets sell hard drugs to children. Even if drugs were legalised - selling them to minors would be illegal.
There's Worldcat, though its site revise last year made it useless for me.

I'm finding Open Library (part of the Internet Archive) is increasingly useful for book search.

You might also have success with a major library (e.g., British Library, Library of Congress, major US city libraries (NYC, Boston, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.), and some academic libraries. Watch that these aren't in fact backed by Worldcat though. (Many local library systems are.)

> i was once doing a racecar event at a venue with two racetracks. the other track had a motorcycle event and i think they airlifted three people out over the course of two days. i do not think i will ever be comfortable with riding a motorcycle.

For me it depends. I feel safer on a cruiser type bike - low CoG and easy to manoeuvre.

Let's also not forget that browsers generally limit the number of requests they send at a time - IIRC the current limit is 6, so a site may be slow just because it sends many requests.

Even (or maybe especially?) popular products like Gmail are guilty of this, sending easily over 200 requests. That's 700ms(!) worth of stalled requests in the best case scenario.
Point is the programming paradigm of POSIX threads or multitasking wasn't a new concept then and likewise been in the curriculum for a while. Multi-core only brought a new level of performance to it.

There were in fact attempts for new concurrency paradigms (like Software Transactional Memory) which however led nowhere outside academia.
- Taking local language courses helped me when I was abroad. I enjoyed it, it helped me to feel better in the country I was, and I met friends there (people more or less in similar situation than me)

- I met a lot of people and some friends working from a small co-working space (I picked one where I feel good)

- I enjoyed volunteering - doing something different than my work, and something useful- and it also helped me to meet friends

All this happened when I was not burnt-out, so my situation was clearly different, but just sharing just in case it can somehow be useful
Why does everyone always compare BTC to USD when it comes to "holding". That's not the only alternative! You're not supposed to hold large amounts of USD over long time periods. It loses value by design. You're supposed to put excess money to more productive uses, e.g. invest it.

No one ever suggests using some S&P500 ETF shares as money even though it also trends up vs the USD. Just like BTC it's also more volatile than money. Unlike BTC it represents something real though.
The desktop version of Bing Chat has recently been made available in Chrome, but Vivaldi is apparently not on the allow list and is sending Chrome's user agent. Since Bing Chat is not available in Chrome on Android, Vivaldi is sending Edge's user agent, as the article says.
OP was just shifting the focus while blaming "environmentalists".
> How do you put monetary value on that?

it is possible to make a guess at the monetary value of these advantages, by comparing the difference between the cost of renting vs cost of owning (including cost of capital). Of course, the value of owning is different between different people (some might prefer renting due to the flexibility of moving at a moments' notice for example).

And in fact, if it turns out that owning is lower cost in total (even taking into account the cost of capital), then it would make a lot of sense to buy! And in some areas, this is definitely true.
> Just noopener, which is of course included on every link.

I can see no `rel` attribute on other submitted links.

Are you perhaps using some privacy-enhancing browser extension which adds the `rel=noopener` attribute to every link?

Troublingly, "blonde" isn't even a British vs. American English thing -- it's a gendered descriptor, of which we have relatively few remaining in English. Blonde is the feminine form, blond is the masculine/neuter form. Whether you want to preserve gendered adjectives is a different question entirely, but the definitions are rather clear, having carried over from French.
apple is getting too much credit for this. they are essentially bootstrapping on the long-term efforts made at winehq.

For good or bad, in many underdeveloped places where black people are rare, they are intuitively perceived as Americans (which stereotypically means rich, cool, free and capable of teaching you great English) and treated with additional respect because of this.
Slightly parallel: does anybody know if there exist products to detect more "local" pollution? Like an electronic nose that would be able to detect "sources", e.g. of mould or chemicals (for disinfection or fixing). I.e. not just the "room air quality", but spots causing it.

(It is for a bit of an urgency that emerged in a building.)

I bought the Pimoroni one and it broke after 6 months.

Interesting to see the particles spike when frying food but other than that I only learned in which direction the wind has to blow for my air to be polluted (straight south so in the future might enable ionization then if pollution goes ballistic).

What you need is a sensor that measures CO, CO2, all the hydrocarbons AND particles at different sizes. The Pimoroni could measure 1!, 2.5 and 10 PPM.

Just use: https://maps.sensor.community and https://www.ventusky.com

It was certainly a humbling experience for me.
I find this kind of debate can be polarizing because people have such different mindsets and perspectives on the world. If you view the office as just a “fine layer of snot”, I can only imagine what you think of the subway, or a mall. But people sneezing and fighting traffic aren’t critiques of the office, they’re critiques of leaving your house and going outside…

We have immune systems for a reason, and fear of illness (without it coming from your doctor) is not a good reason to be against RTO. People get sick all the time, it’s a normal and necessary process to build our natural immunity. I worry about the damage covid did in making people still paranoid about going in public (e.g. people who continue to feel the need to wear masks today without a medical reason).

You imply there’s no value to being in person, but would you really rather catch up with friends over zoom rather than over dinner? Call someone over FaceTime rather than get coffee and go on a walk? Work relationships matter, sharing 3D space allows people to be more creative and collaborative, and companies are recognizing that. Google seems like the last company that would make people come back to the office without doing their homework, there’s clearly data showing that fully remote employees are falling behind.
I think monopoly is not the right term, but I don't know the correct one.

They control a huge share of one market, and they use it to force their way into another in an unfair way (Microsoft: windows to push edge and keep making it default and making it harder and harder and scarier to switch, and now using edge to push their own web services; Google: gmail & co to push chrome, ...).

One would argue "if it's not a monopoly is it not legal ?" but that's sort of my point, if it's illegal it should be punished, if it's currently legal it should be regulated.

We cannot keep treating browsers like a regular piece of software when they're becoming more and more like an utility. I sort of feel the same way toward OSes, but browsers are even more important.
Love OCLP, but there’s definitely a trade-off in terms of root-of-trust security.

I keep an old iMac for family browsing and some school work that’s running Ventura thanks to OCLP, but not allowing anyone to sign in to iCloud on it due to not having a trusted bootloader.

This is perhaps overkill and it sucks that it’s a choice that needs to be made at all.
It's much easier to label buttons when you work for a small company, because you know exactly who does what and exactly who is responsible for labelling the buttons and you know exactly what's going to happen to you when you label them, so you just do it and have that debate whenever it happens. Bystander effect, etc.
There are of course arguments for and against SVG and Canvas. Yesterday, we posted a detailed comparison of these technologies and outlined why we think SVG is the better choice: https://www.jointjs.com/blog/svg-versus-canvas
San Francisco ia a sideshow. America is a suburban country and the Bay Area is a suburban place. There are ten times as many people in the metro area as in the city. Only Salesforce and Uber are in the city; the rest of Big Tech is in the suburbs. The social and physical infrastructure is built for someone who has a family and works in an office to live in the suburbs.

American postwar suburbia has a well-oiled machine for metabolizing growth, but it has to be fed with virgin land. The Bay Area long ago ran out. The growth kept on going, so it manifests in house prices and dysfunction instead.
TikTok Seeks $20B E-Commerce Business Despite US Setback
Biometrics are not a technical requirement for passkeys, so your security model cannot rely on them being used. Moreover, as history has shown, the biometric security model is most likely flawed as your device will be covered in copies of your fingerprints anyways. It's a huge single-point-of-failure.

The "traditional" security model of a password vault on a computer and a 2FA token on a smartphone requires both devices to be compromised, Theft of either device is pointless, and even the theft of both is often insufficient as the password vault usually requires a passphrase.
I started using Vivaldi on mobile 6 months ago and I'm never looking back, the internet is so much better without the goatse style google ads I'm getting on mobile.

If you believe that you are less effective as a manager of a remote team than a office one, that's a manager problem not a location one

Managing a team remotely requires different skills and greater trust. But it's still easily done.

Don't force your team back to the office because you find it easier to manage them.

I say this as somebody who manages a wholly remote team from across the world, 5 countries and timezones.
Do you have specific examples of content that you believe should be removed but is not?

I'm asking because it's really hard to have a meaningful constructive conversation about these sort of topics without concrete examples, IMHO. I could respond with some generic comments, but they may not apply at all to the examples you have in mind.

For what it's worth, I wrote a little extension to completely hide posts from certain users (and all subthreads to their posts) that I had negative interactions with; from my perspective these people just don't exist on HN. I usually add people to this list after 2 or 3 profoundly negative encounters, or if one encounter is particularly egregious.

I can definitely underscore that HN can be an unfriendly place at times, although in my personal subjective experience I found that the "unpleasantness" is not really isolated to a particular ideology or "side", or even limited to politics (the conversation that made me write this extension in a fit of anger was about devops stuff, after someone was just being a complete ass and I decided I never want to talk to them again).

This is really hard to moderate, because usually it's not "you idiot are you mentally deficient?!" type of stuff – that's easy and obvious, but it's usually more low-key: extremely uncharitable interpretations, wildly off-base straw men, spectacularly off-topic tangents about $pet_peeve, aggressive "I am a singularity of pure rationality, intelligence, and genius" attitudes, put-downs like "after 20 years GIMP still not as good as photoshop, ridiculous", boring and annoying "but akshually" pedantry, conspiratorial nonsense, and stuff like that. Everyone can have a bad day – and that's okay – there's a limit to how "bad" your day can reasonably get, IMHO, and if half your days are bad days....

Even as someone who really tries to keep a cool head about things and typically just "steps away from the computer" if things get too heated it has made my HN experience significantly better.

Maybe I'm just too sensitive; I don't know. I try to be forgiving of people's faults (being forgiving of them is also part of being kind), but I can't control my emotions, so shrug.

> simple things like marking June as pride month/February as Black history month

These seem like meaningless token gestures to be honest. And the US-specific black history month seems a bit inappropriate for an international site like HN, IMHO. I'm not opposed to it or anything (other than being US-specific, as there is already enough US-centrism going on).
I thought it's a VOIP SBC, but don't know how those work to fully understand his issue, hence my question.
Technically it's closer to 1.7GHz, but most Geostationary birds transmitting on L band are slightly below that. GOES is at 1.68GHz (roughly) while Polar orbiting satellites (think NOAA 15-19) are just above 1.7GHz.
Because the user otherwise will spot the discrepancy and pronounce "these scales are rubbish" (which in a way they are).
This is a bad example. Zürich is a tiny city compared to behemoths like London, Paris, and Berlin.
I can appreciate the argument. The US for example has moved to illegalise abortions and be hostile towards immigrants. And to some extent there was a global move away from authoritarianism in the late 20th C which seems to be stalling.

But you can't forget that the US even in mid/late 20th and early 21st centuries underwent a host of authoritarian changes:

* Prosecuting unjustified (and in some cases unpopular) wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq

* Aggressive support of violent coups and regime changes in South America and the Middle East, usually in favour of right-wing authoritarian strongmen

* Illegalising psychoactive substances for medical or recreational use, simultaneous with testing those drugs on unwitting US citizens

* Spying and surveillance against US journalists and activitists

* Political suppression and even persecution of left-wing ideas

* Increasing militarisation of police and use of violent means such as tear gas or rubber bullets to control protests
I went there for the first time a few months back. It’s one of the filthiest, smelliest, homeless cities I’ve seen. I hate it.
How many times during past 3 years have you pumped into someone at work and just offhandedly started to discuss what you are working on and actually helped one of you out? I sure haven't since I dont bump into people at my home. But that happened often back in the office days.

It is not only chasing some personal flow state - having physical presence where you can just talk with people has a lot of not so obvious benefits that no amount of emailing or IM-ing or zooming can fix.

I guess it really depends on your team. But with my team 3 our of 8 have multiple young kids constantly disrupting work.
There are forms of anti-competitive practices which don't involve abusing an absolute monopoly.
My issue as an EU citizen is how "lobby permeable" the regulations are. US tech is lobbying the EU too now.

Proposals start out strong and become PR operations after the watering down.

- Implement net neutrality but give data exemptions to mobile data operators if the traffic is from Facebook or Whatsapp.

- Implement ban on single use plastics but add so many exemptions that Nestle, Coca-Cola, Unilever, continue business as usual

- Implement Green New Deal but add a metric tonne of taxpayers money to support Hidrogen because Shell says so

- Start a Ban on ICEs but then push it back another 15 years because Exxon says so

Etc.

Webapps are so great because they can be used on any platform that has a browser. This is anti competitive behaviour.

If everybody does that customers would have to install every browser, and then use chrome to visit google.com, edge to visit microsoft.com or have each browser spoof the websites on visit. That's just stupid.

I won't use software from companies that abuse their power. Microsoft is out. They should be fined for anti competitive behaviour.

That case appears to be specific to Gemini Earn, a "staking" product where users would loan Gemini money and in exchange would get returns on that money through Gemini/Genesis's investment of those funds.

Under the Howey test (a security is "a contract, transaction or scheme whereby a person invests his money in a common enterprise and is led to expect profits solely from the efforts of the promoter or a third party") this is pretty clearly an unregistered security IMO. Whereas e.g. using Gemini solely to exchange N USD for M BTC with the customer retaining ownership the whole time is probably not. So had the Winklevi stuck to being a traditional exchange, they could have avoided this specific issue.

Of course, the SEC seems to believe that many shitcoins are also securities ("Buy this token for a % share in our company! Totally not equity!" is... not a convincing argument). But that's not what the complaint you linked is actually about.

Lots of consumer things are basically layers of fancy molded plastic, marketing and some UI/convenience electronics above the same technology. For instance microphones.
When I got my basement damp-proofed against a nasty mould problem there were three options for how it could be done. In increasing order if effectiveness, they were: 1) they could re-plaster with a sealant; 2) they could mount plastic stand-off sheets to the wall with plasterboard covering; 3) they could air-tighten and install a positive pressure system.

So PPSes are sold as a damp prevention mechanism; as long as you install one when you air-tighten it's doing the job that natural airflow would otherwise take care of.

Also worth noting: each successive option added a zero to the price.
"Hyping"? My own opinion was presented as-is, without any exaggeration.

Anyway thanks for the links!
>At home, I can designate my own closed office.

You conveniently left out the part about some people having the luxurity of personal office. The amount of people I see working on their coach or at kitchen table far out weight the amount of people who actually have a whole room dedicated to their work. I for one don't have extra room just for work, but at least I have dedicated computer table, so I dont have to share the kitchen table or the coffee table.

Do I understand that with a PPS, it's healthier to be inside than outside? (At least along the "fresh air" dimension.)

Obviously there's sunlight, exercise, and health benefits to socializing, but I always thought fresh air was one of the main reasons to go outside.
