or they use "free" to nuke competitors from orbit, salt the ground to ensure nobody can get a dime for a decade in this industry, hoard all the expertise then increase your pricing by orders of magnitude like it happened with Google Maps.

> MultipathTCP

Can you please share more about this? I've been curious to build a router with redundant internet providers ever since I noticed certain PCEngines boards supported LTE modem modules. [0]]

I assume you're using Linux; do you wire all your modems via Ethernet and manage MultipathTCP all in your router? Any hardware offloading you're aware of/recommend?

That's a pretty big stretch to claim that everything related to emotion is equally suspect. Safety is something which naturally has a very strong perception element to it. A lack of a feeling of safety causes people to change their behavior in ways which tend to destroy a community (by moving away, avoiding public spaces, not shopping in certain areas, etc). Those harms to the community are tangible. Dismissing them because they don't show up in violent crime statistics is choosing to ignore reality.
Exactly. Not waterproof, not variable pressure/temperature tested, not industrial or milspec. This thing sounds like a "COTS" death trap.
My 11yo son asked me why they did not connect a buoy to the submarine with a string. Lol
I think it is a reasonable conclusion that if someone claims they care very much about some thing X but does nothing about that thing when possible routes out exist that any accurate model of their behaviour does not place a high coefficient on their belief about X.

In practice, in conversation, this is about smiling and nodding. If pressed, I might say "I don't believe you" but that would be socially ungraceful and, since most statements X subject to this condition are meant to be a socially graceful way to deflect, it is unlikely that I would have to do this.

So, sure, I'm not going to challenge anyone but I'm not really going to expect you to behave like an environmentalist if you say you care about climate change but then do nothing about it. And I probably won't believe anything about your reasons for why you don't want kids.
> What's 10 bucks a month on an employees salary.

And isn't my flashlight app for iPhone worth more than a Starbucks latte a month?

SaaS companies want you to think in terms of marginal cost - hoping you'll forget that all those subscriptions add up, and hoping you don't realize that this "10 bucks a month" establishes a relationship with the SaaS vendor that you don't really want to have. And especially in B2B, that relationship isn't going to have your team/company's best interest in mind.

Every now and then HN has a submission or discussion with advice for startups on how to sell to enterprise customers. Reading those, you may discover that this "only 10 bucks a month" subscription aimed at individual employees is a wedge - it's designed to establish a beachhead within the corporation, starting with a single person or a single team, and expanding until the point the vendor can send in their sales team and secure a fat deal, pointing out that their product is already widely used, and probably too hard to extricate at this point.
I have not found this to be true. In an idealized case, I'd agree, but our institutions don't seem to be emphasizing "rational assessment" as an important skill.

In fact there may be a slightly negative correlation because some experts spend so much time on their pet-topic that they end up rationalizing why their preferred evidence is better than the contradicting evidence (basically boosted confirmation bias)
there are so many SBCs these days.

if you use them for hobby projects, many of them are fine.

if you ever want to convert your project to something commercial, I would still consider raspberry pi and beaglebone instead based on software maturity and community support and their ecosystem at large.

I really like NXP's i.MX6/8/9 chips, I wish there are some i.MX SBCs as popular as RPi and Beagles, for both hobby and commercial applications.
perhaps as a society we need to stop dismissing things containing plastics, synthetic fibres, rubber, resins, dyes and pharmaceuticals as otherwise harmless. I personally strongly avoid sleeping on or wearing anything containing synthetic fibres unless absolutely necessary. dyes I'm less cautious about, as short of dressing like a hippy they're almost impossible to avoid.

it would be worse if I was a woman I'm sure, god knows what nonsense cosmetics contain
I've been daily driving a PinePhone running postmarketOS + phosh for the last month and here is what I've found:

1. Yes, has a dialpad. Works as you would expect

2, 3, 4. Yes, works well on my carrier

5. The antenna is along the side of the phone I believe and the reception seems good, I haven't had issues with this

6. I would say SMS only works about 95% percent of the time. The phone does randomly disconnect from the celluar network maybe once every day or two

7. Works well on my carrier, no issues here. I have a data plan and it works fine

8. It takes maybe a minute or two to boot, but to be fair my Samsung A52 Android takes longer to boot, maybe 2 minutes

9. Yes, there is a contact app, don't know about snake :)

Other:

10. The phone is slow, firefox works and all the websites I visit (including google maps, uber, etc.) render and work correctly, but slowly. I wouldn't say too slow to browse, but 100% it is slow

11. Be CAREFUL inserting the SIM card, it is extremely easy to break the SIM pins and brick the phone if the SIM card is not inserted correctly (I learnt this the hard way)

12. Surprisingly a large amount of apps available via flatpak/flathub, including both foss apps for things like email and 3rd party clients for things like spotify and whatsapp (text only, no video or audio calls). All the core linux stuff and lots of the foss apps via apk

13. However not all apps on flathub are compatible with the PinePhone since PinePhones uses aarch64 architecture, not x86_64

14. Very poor battery life out of the box, about 4 hours tops. However, after installing tlp and irqbalance (via apk) and setting auto-suspend to 1 minute, the battery life is about 8 to 12 hours of "normal" usage, so quite usuable

15. Camera is very basic
People need to justify the battle they are paid to fight so they find reasons to do so? I hope they realize at some point that they are playing for the wrong team. The increased surveillance they want means privileged access for few versus everyone needing to play under the same rules of transparency.
I deeply and completely disagree with you.

In objective outcome space you are either healthy (socially, nutritionally) or you are not.

Being desirous of the good outcome is step one to having a CHANCE of having one. If you somehow numb yourself to the possibility/desire, you are guaranteed the actual bad outcome.

Even in subjective space, I think people actually feel better pursuing a good outcome even if they don't succeed, vs numbing themselves and pretending everything is fine as is.
I mean, technically that's how most old-school forums operated in practice. You had one guy/girl who operated the entire thing, asked for maybe 100-200 bucks a year to keep the server lights on and the community would fund that and it'd stay in the air.

The main problem is that I don't think a non-profit could realistically meet the cost required to actually run a platform like this. It's really expensive to run a general purpose platform (not to mention difficult since Masnick's Impossibility Theorem), to the point where I'd call it almost inherently unsustainable. It can work easily for smaller communities, it just won't work for massive ones.

--

To give you an idea, I've been a mod on-and-off on several communities for the past decade (not Reddit, mostly small Discord servers for homebrew projects and a couple of IRC chats) - for the most part, "being a mod" just translates to "check recent userlog to ban obvious spam, tell people to stop butting heads constantly, be welcoming to the newbies". If you think being a mod is enjoying power... well you might have only reddit/discord mods (and their bloated mod teams) for reference. In practice, you're closer to a kindergarten teacher than to the "landed gentry". Usually doesn't take more than 10 minutes a day in experience, if the tooling you have is good enough.

The problem is... the communities I moderated only had 2-3k users in total at most, and only 30 or so were active at any one day. This is very much how smaller communities work (and should work) in practice. But... that doesn't even come close to the total userbase of something like Reddit, even less with platforms that don't at all segment their users like FB and Twitter. Those sites service millions of users each day and their larger communities have thousands of new posts to deal with every day. Reddit mostly mitigates it by splitting it up to volunteer mods who all control a smaller portion of that community, but with FB and Twitter it just... doesn't work since the platforms are opposed to such a notion by design since their entire selling point is "talk with everyone, everywhere, all at once".

Moderation on such a platform just cannot work unless you pour as much cash into it as FB/Twitter (used) to do and no non-profit comes even close to that degree of income (nor can you really obtain it without becoming as privacy-invasive as those two platforms are). Reddit completely gave up on global moderation if I understand it correctly and now only bans users for breaking the law or if they risk damaging the PR of the company.
Either way I could see OSHA dropping a fine - because either the equipment wasn't working correctly, which is a violation, or the policies weren't correct, which is a violation, or they had an employee who would do stupid things, which is a violation.
20k sounds good. Also a good reminder to just work in an idgaf mode. Their success is not your success. Work the least you can to avoid being fired, and try to improve yourself whether it aligns with the company goals or not.
Same. I started building an automated solution for building gamedev environments in VM’s[1] but I can’t help but think there should be a better way.

The "high density" animal farms are the feed lots I was talking about, the very ones I'm calling a blight. I also address this in my fourth point -- price of meat would need to reflect not using feed lots.

It's only not a solution because people want cheap meat. And just to be clear, I'm not advocating for all plant-based, vegan diet or using vat-grown meat. I think a clearer assessment of what we actually need to thrive, nutritionally speaking, would be of benefit.
> Loneliness is eliminated is when that delta is small or zero

I find it funny that you use the words "lack" and "desire" exactly like Lacan, who explained why it is impossible to fill that lack.
>You would think large corporations would do the same against internal troublemakers, competitors, etc.

They certainly do! Here's a recent example, although it ended in prison time for the executives:

My premise is that I don't agree with the regulator :) Of course a regulator is there to regulate so their incentive is to find things to regulate.

> The regulators consider it to be more like an asset class

Being an asset is also applicable in my opinion. But assets and securities are not the same, and this is what's changing - regulators switching the categorization from assets (which was implicitly and somewhat explicitly the state until now) to securities.
I'm sure there's something bad about this, but wow he really needed to read that Tweet out loud before posting it. To anybody without specialized knowledge about what his accomplishment normally would result in (including me), this Tweet looks incredibly out of touch - like a CEO complaining that their bonus was five digits instead of six. Again, I am not saying that this is what's happening - I'm saying it looks like that to probably 99% of people.

As an aside, his wording is very confusing to me. He says "total comp", so he is either saying that he worked for free, or the phrase "total comp" doesn't include your salary, which both sound crazy. And wouldn't a "title bump" come with a salary bump? If it didn't, surely he would say that, right?
Canal of the Pharaohs
I once was in bed with a top lawyer making multiple hundred k a year, who was whining about his law firms partner taking half of the money he made with his work, without doing any work himself. He did not appreciate me asking why he didn't take up self employment if he could then just keep 100% of what he made if he was salty enough about his partner to complain about it to a stranger (me).

I believe those big bad companies and bosses DO bring quite a lot to the table, a stable income, resources, a life free of personal risks, maybe even just credibility and many other things... It's childish to gloss over this.
That's an interesting idea. I wonder how that would work for things like not taking water out of the aquifer. I guess a rate could be negotiated.
This remark has little to do with the topic of the thread, but for what it's worth, SHA2 doesn't belong near SHA1 and MD5 in your list of "merely mix bits with no theoretical basis" category. SHA2 is fine, and may be fine forever. The theory by which people worked out SHA1 collisions is extraordinarily well studied.

And I think it's worth saying: nobody has figured out how to "unmix" MD5 or SHA1: HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-MD5 are still unbroken.

I don't consider them or vercel part of this type of hosting. Those two are strictly javascript/node, or so it appears to me.

I don't see how you would host a Phoenix project in Vercel.
I don't think most people care enough to bother you, but there's very little "stealth" about a Sprinter/ProMaster van. They used to go unnoticed but they don't anymore. It's a dead giveaway when there is a MaxxAir roof vent and solar panel(s).
> Last I looked you couldn't create reusable actions in the same repo you want to call them from, they have to be in an external repo.

I'm not sure if/when this changed, but you can definitely do this now.

> You can only use success or failure states to trigger other jobs, you can't pass values.

This is also not true: you can pipe environment variables to $GITHUB_OUTPUT which can be referenced by future jobs.

If anything, the main issue with GitHub Actions is that it's confusing, and the docs don't make it easy to understand how to do things at a high level.
> ...de-googled android and how it doesn’t work very well due to how everything depends on google play services

Even that aspect is wildly overblown in my experience of using Google-free Android devices for the last 12 years. Yes, the thing will prompt you to install some Google-thing because it supposedly does not work without it - there are currently two such notifications on one of my devices telling me so. The thing is, nearly everything I throw at the device works even though some things complain about the supposed lack of Google services. I click away the warning if it appears and just use the software, this includes e.g. BankID - a Swedish electronic ID provider - and similar apps. I do not have microG installed on my main device either, I just forego on using Google services altogether.

All in all I think the current situation with de-Googled Android is quite useable. If ever some mobile thing comes along which more resembles the way software is installed on personal computers - i.e. install Linux or BSD of choice, add required software, configure accounts and you're in the game - I might move to that but until such a time I'll keep on using AOSP-derived Android distributions in combination with self-hosted services.
Their profile does say "creator of GitHub Copilot, Dropbox Paper, MobileCoin, and Hackpad" which indicates a bit of an ego problem. Professional software is a team effort, and pretending to be the only person who worked on a project is a red flag. Most people would say lead developer rather than creator...
Can you elaborate on “properly tweaked”? When I use one of the Stable Diffusion and AUTOMATIC1111 templates on runpod.io, the results are absolutely worthless.

This is using some of the popular prompts you can find on sites like prompthero that show amazing examples.

It’s been serious expectation vs. reality disappointment for me and so I just pay the MidJourney or DALL-E fees.
For me for Tcl to be relevant again its needs

1. a Package Manager (they sort of already have one called TEA, but its not active as far as I know)

2. an IDE or a good modes for the popular editors (VS Code, Emacs, Vim, Sublime Text)

For a UI language the absense of a good IDE or editor modes is very strange, you would expect that a Tcl/Tk IDE written in Tcl/Tk (one that also serve as UI framework or scaffolding for other apps) would be its killer app, but there isnt one
If a party is arguing a position of moral superiority, and respond to any seeming demonstrations of moral failings with 'you do it too', it's not obvious to me why their rhetorical counter-party has any reason not to view their argument as specious at best. Unless one can provide compelling evidence that the regimes held up are unambiguously morally superior, I think it's perfectly reasonable to consider those arguing as degrading the communications channel and thus actively hostile to quality discourse.
Anywhere other than New Mexico (2015)? That's the only example I can find on the Wikipedia article on the subject.

This is what most people got wrong. Crypto solves one problem and one problem only: censorship. Crypto is the only, single censorship resistant asset on the entire earth. You can't remove private key by force ($5 wrench is not an argument). You can confiscate land, stocks, freeze bank accounts, take gold. You can't extract a string of numbers which you aren't even sure is there in the first place. Not yet at least. Might not be the biggest threat in US, but in Asia right now that property is crucial.
No, they haven't. This isn't an accurate framing of how attacks on cryptography work. Ironically: the subject of this thread would probably be pretty helpful in understanding why.
Thanks, we are investigating this and the above reports about this behavior.

I noticed the slow (right) lanes in California are the most beat-up. My guess is because the shipping trucks use them. This could be a possibility as well.
If I made a habit of sleeping in my car, I would consider one of these:

In fact, I have considered one in case I just want to (for example) drive to a trailhead the night before for an early morning start, and catch some sleep in the car without setting up a tent and all.
>ciriticize bud light marketing

Lol Yeah, I'm sure THAT'S what you were banned for. What particular aspect of their marketing did you take issue with? Maybe you let slip some of your obvious-to-everyone prejudice in your "criticism".
Thank you for sharing that post.

I nearly felt allergic while reading about the endless quality control issues. Piecework only "works" when people easily can and do verify the product delivered. A combination of customers and shareholders are getting boned by workers, their managers, and the dealerships here. Incentives matter.
I lived in a rural location and now in suburbs and still never had any issues, even 4 years ago when there were far fewer chargers. Here is a map of the level 2+ chargers in the country:

https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/fi...

With 300 miles of range all you have to do is get to the next charger and if you're willing to spend 5 minutes in advance to plan your road trip it really doesn't add any extra time if you stop to charge while eating, using the restroom, etc. I like the extra cargo space not having an internal combustion engine gives me.
If you're storing a message for 100 years, and you're considering a one-time pad, just put the plaintext message wherever it is you plan to hide the equally long key for 100 years. "You can use a one-time pad" is a little like saying "you can just not encrypt".
I'm more curious about this "Don't approach a plane until the beacon light turns off" system. Is this standardized or widely used? Because it sounds like a terrible design.

If you've got one signal light to signal the state of a system it should turn on when safe and off when unsafe, so when the light is obscured or the lamp fails someone doesn't walk into a running jet engine.

To be clear I don't have any information that's not in the article. I don't know if there was a system failure or what the nature of that failure might be. All I'm saying is that the description of a procedure where a people approach jets when the you're-in-mortal-peril-light goes out gives me goosebumps. My entirely uninformed opinion is that OSHA might feel the same way.
Caffeine naps are awesome, you just have to fall asleep before the caffeine wakes you up, but you wake up caffeinated. If I do it too tired though, I can sleep past my alarm, caffeine won't necessarily wake me up from a sleep, but will make me feel very groggy if I don't wake up before it's peak is passed.
>The case centered on Xu Jin, a former Chinese government official who moved to the United States over a decade ago

"Over a decade ago" - 2010-12 - was when PRC dmismantled CIA intelligence network, and found out CIA infiltrated into CCP to the point of buying high level promotions. Queue anticorruption + operation foxhunt to purge and repatriate these individuals. Wonder if Xu is among them, timing lines up. Either way, in lieu of extradition treaties which US/west will not establish with PRC, not even for obvious financial criminals let alone dissidents, these extraterritorial operations will continue if only to keep setting examples that there's no golden passport for Chinese nationals and their offsprings who undermine PRC interests.
I would tend to agree, but the supply limitations of the Pis has made me re-think that. I've heard with commercial agreements you can sometimes get Pis easier, but for launching a new product I'd be terrified that my growth would be hampered/limited by availability of the Pi
I would complain too if "The VP who worked most against Copilot’s creation, would later tell me I didn’t deserve the promo."
"The ocean" is not a monolith. You have to pump the brine back into the ocean in a specific location (i.e. wherever the outflow pipe from the desalination plant is). And that has meaningful negative local ecological impacts.
I don’t think anyone wants to outright ban farming in these drier states. I think most people are looking to reduce water consumption by eliminating the production of water hungry crops. Surely there are crops that can be grow in dry climates that use less water than almonds.
