Mail breaks down as soon as everyone starts broadcasting to everyone else.

Also the reason why ppl behind mail and chat never saw social media coming. Social media can't work on top of those protocols so they thought it would fail.

Nor did anyone imagine that everyone has such a desperate craving for Attention or this Need to broadcast their thoughts to the entire planet every day. Its still not clear why this even has any value. Its sort of like trying to build a brain where every neuron has broadcast capability to every other neurons. Our brains would just fry if such capability existed. There would be so much noise nothing would make sense.

But ppl have decided this is what they need to build to escape Google and Facebook or whoever. And the whole story doesn't really make too much sense.
That is not true. Even humans work out, causing pain, but do so anyway because it makes the body stronger.

Muay Thai practitioners roll their shins and smack them against trees, causing pain.

Anxiety often induced animals to cause pain to themselves in the form of self-harm.

And so on and so forth.
I said 3 a day is unhealthy. I’ve been there in my early 20s. It’s not good. You will get fat. It’s definitely risky that it will continue to escalate. And yet I knocked it off before anyone would ever label me as an alcoholic, before I’d think I had any business going to a meeting. And honestly, coffee has proven much harder to kick than my minor drinking “problem.” Scare quotes because it was a problem, but it barely registers on the scale of what most people consider a drinking problem.

These are usually reported as averages, not floors. I’m interpreting it as “21 drinks per week.” “At least 3 drinks every single day” is a much more serious problem IMO.

7 drinks a day is a fifth of vodka every other day. That’s at the point where you’re likely driving drunk regularly, and need to spike your morning coffee to stop the shakes.

I’d be less annoyed if they just said “3 or more drinks a day.” Putting the 7 there is designed to frame the problem as more severe. Imagine if the range said “3-17 drinks per day” instead. Then it would be too obvious what they were doing.

1) Day care is much cheaper than teachers.

2) Schools generally don't keep kids for the entire workday, so younger kids need additional day care anyway.

3) The government generally doesn't subsidize day care.

4) High school kids don't need day care.

So no, public education is not about day care.

there are plenty of anecdotal reports dating back almost 100 years. there are reports here before 2020 of ships being destroyed.

yes I realize the hugeness of the numbers now is much larger than it was before 2020 - but again that is when the database was established which allowed anyone to submit a report, no matter the extent of the damage
Need a local (Novato) techie to help with a ventilator
My son uses a Vyaire LTV 1150 to sleep at night.
We're in Novato CA on vacation and the vent just broke. The power supply won't charge the internal battery.

If you live nearby and have experience troubleshooting hardware (Ham radio connoisseur perhaps?) can you stop by and help out, or I can drive to you.

In parallel we're sourcing other options (a newer model) for tonight, but this would be a good plan B for us.
Ken Griffey Jr is something like the 3rd highest paid player on the Reds roster this year. He hasn’t played for them since 2008 and in 2016 went into the hall of fame as a Mariner, but the Reds owe him deferred salary through 2025.
There’s nothing to “compromise.” Being generous and accepting that this is meant to deter scrapers, a scraper could simply pay their eight bucks to avoid the rate limit.

Ask HN: Which AI tools do you use?
Recently, I see lots of different AI tools. I use VSCode extensions “ChatGPT - Genie AI” and “Code GPT” with GPT3 for programming. Also, I use ChatGPT plus for GPT4 for programming (if VSCode extensions mentioned above are not giving me good result), email and some other text generation. What AI tools do you use and how do you use them?
Agreed on the first part, but I'd say the rest isn't so important: while China does rely on food imports, it's mostly stuff like meat, rice and soybeans - nothing that Russia has in abundance.
What really put me off of them (and as a fan of BCantrill and others there) is this information is highly obfuscated and I was never reached out to the two times I contacted Oxide to find out more info (both times on behalf of an org that could more than pay).

Still think they’ll succeed big but I don’t think they’ve fully dialed in what is important to people who may be able to pull the trigger on a decision like this.
If Musk had shut down the site completely, he could have had the same effect without looking like he was completely incompetent.

Pretty odd to see somebody burn up all their public goodwill, at the cost of billions of dollars. The man must be hurting internally, there's no other explanation for such self destructive behavior.
Elon is truly running the platform into the ground. This doesn't even begin to make sense on any level.
You sure about that?

If you look at s1(6) of the Retained EU Law Act [1]:

> The revocation of an instrument by subsection (1) does not affect an amendment made by the instrument to any other enactment.

If you read the Explanatory Notes to the Commons Bill, it states this at paragraph 71 on page 11 [3]:

> Subsection (3) clarifies that any amendments made by EU-derived subordinate legislation and RDEUL are not within scope of subsection (1). For example, where an instrument made under section 2(2) ECA 19721 is revoked by the sunset, if that instrument amended primary legislation, the amendment in the primary legislation will be unaffected.

(Subsection 1(3) is now subsection 1(6) due to amendments, but the text of the subsection is unchanged.)

The Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003 amends the CDPA - and the particular clause you refer to has been inserted in to the CDPA as s28A. Were the regulation to cease to apply due to s1 of the Retained EU Law Act, it wouldn't matter because all it does is amend CDPA so falls within the amending exception.

As the Bill passed through Parliament, it was amended to require the Government to fully explicate all the legislation that would be affected and include it in a Schedule to the Bill. If you check the schedules, the CRR isn't on there.

The government have published a commented list of this schedule as an OpenDocument spreadsheet which gives a little more explanation of why they're repealing each particular one. [3] If you download it and CTRL-F for copyright, the only entry is the Artist's Resale Right (Amendment) Regulations 2009 which it lists as superseded by the 2011 regulations but not formally repealed.

The Retained EU Law Act is likely to have some important effects, and there are some important legal provisions like the Working TIme Directive and various bits of environmental law that will be going through the process in s1, but on copyright, it does nothing. Certainly not repealing s28A of CDPA.

Even a 12 y/o can install Rancher Kubernetes
Fun experiment to have my 12 y/o daughter install Kubernetes. Specifically RKE2, Rancher and Longhorn.

This happens a lot in any professional sport. Sometimes remuneration and performance diverge substantially over the life of the contract. Football (soccer) fans should be familiar with the current predicament of Chelsea, for example, with lots of presumed-superstars on massive wages who are utterly underperforming but are very hard to sell.
You seem to be an order of magnitude away from what I consider normal for a small sailboat. 80W solar panel & 400Ah battery bank. Even the 'high output' alternator only puts out 70A max. Do people really need AC when away from shore? I lived in the Caribbean for years and never had it, its much cooler out on the water..
> They will require ownership or a perpetual license or similar to the NGAD spec and blueprint, rather than allowing a defense contractor sole ownership of the design.

This has been standard in all US government contracts for decades. As long as I can remember. You must give the US government an unlimited perpetual license.

Is this a pure product placement aka ad? Direct link to product and only comment is a sales pitch?

Why not at least link to a blog about the story behind it or some learning while getting to launch, something for intellectual curiosity, rather than just "Buy this"?
No, the detector is the same, it's just that you usually don't have hundreds of people reviewing local teachers, including well-known expert reviewers, in the way that you can find hundreds of reviews for individual books. There needs to be enough data to find the signal in the noise.

And even when you do, you should still remember that almost anyone can find and have access to a world-class book, while you're quite unlikely to have a world-class expert locally to teach you.
Anyone want to explain what the heck Oxide is? Based on the comments it sounds like a biodegradable plastic wrap?
China can't even reliably see the F22, and probably can't lock their missiles onto an F35.

How are they supposed to fight against invisible air-superiority fighters (F22) and nearly-invisible multi-role Fighters? (F35) ?

The worry with China is their missile forces, not their air force. The Chinese missiles have a chance at wrecking the USA's Aircraft Carriers.
universities don't just exist for 20 year olds. A lot of unis offer part-time enrollment, individual courses over a summer or winter or you could even just sit in.
Yet we have pretty good weather forecasts, pretty good traffic forecasts, pretty good election forecasts, and so on, and they continue to get better with more data and more compute.

While it may never be able to “perfectly predict” at Resolution X does not mean it can’t perfectly predict at Resolution <X. We already have good predictions of human behavior at some resolutions.
Even if Twitter loads 20 tweets, it doesn't mean you've read 20 tweets.

This is not semantics, as tweet impressions are a separate metric Twitter tracks and would more intuitively represent reads.

Unless Twitter engineering did some malicious compliance for Elon.

Australia to prescribe MDMA and psilocybin for PTSD and depression
I've had the opinion for years that any federated social media platform should fallback to email as a default. This helps solve the problem of bootstrapping an audience. You should be able to "tweet" at your friends by using their emails. It should show up on the public record as an unclaimed account.

That account could authenticate at any time through their email to claim it. You could send a "tweet" by just sending an email to post@this-new-platform.com. [follow-up verification link can be sent to approve with one click to prove email.]

I don't understand how this idea isn't more obvious to all these new platforms. We need to lower barriers to entry to decentralization.
This is an even more dishonest comment because the answer to the question "can evidence of ball lightning be easily faked using video editing?" is quite obviously "yes".
Maybe normal but not usual for places like McDonald's

https://www.findlaw.com/injury/product-liability/the-mcdonal...

>McDonald's coffee was served at a temperature between 180 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit. McDonald's had long known that this was 20 to 30 degrees hotter than the coffee served at most other restaurants; in fact, this temperature range was indicated in its operations manual

https://www.poolelg.com/blog/the-truth-behind-the-mcdonald-s...

>During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not have to give out as many free refills of coffee
NHL Free Agency started today. Lots of people getting hit with the limits. The hockey analysts on TV have been complaining about it. Up until now it's been a big source of this type of information. Not a good look.
NATO is a defensive alliance. The defensive alliance is only at odds with Russia due to the imperialist tendencies.

Not to mention that Russia has had a land border with NATO since 1948.
At first I read it as a limit on the number of posts per day you can create, which seemed very generous. Realized that it was the number of posts you can read which is unreasonably low.

Maybe it's a test to see how many power users would convert to verified?

And if she was operating as a sole proprietorship it would make no difference to the case at hand.
In addition to my sibling comment: HN also steps in to quash developing negative patterns in all sorts of ways. There's a long list of banned sites, there is the flamewar detector (though I've ... questions ... about that), dupes detection (or flagging), there are weightings and penalties given to various sites. I believe also some keyword and other patterns are looked for as well, "Reddit" being among ones dang's recently discussed.

So yes, occasionally some new pattern or trend will emerge, but HN adapts to those fairly quickly.
Rent-seeking enshitification. "FU poor customer, pay us thousands it will be permanent. (One month later.) FU poor customer today, now you must pay hundreds every month. It will be awesome!"

EA and their Play and Play Pro subscription bullshit too.
You're all over the place. Nobody said it was difficult.
That's the problem with ads: they create a fundamental conflict between users and producers of software. They actually drive developers to make their software as bad as the users will still tolerate in an "enshittification" process.
That's true, but my impression back when I was using CORBA and EJB and Java RMI is that nobody really cared about remote object identity and really just wanted a convenient RPC solution. Ie use EJB stateless beans instead of stateful beans.

So while CORBA could do a lot more, it wasn't necessarily being used that way. At least not anywhere I saw; maybe there were shops out there doing more exotic things.
Will results from Finland, which sits at a rather extreme latitude, generalize to the rest of the world?
I’m asking as someone not familiar with function programming, so trying to learn, not be pedantic, btw!

So because the possible input is not just a single value, it is not predictable. It doesn’t matter if the input was limited to a set of two values, or infinite, it is literally not predictable so therefore we don’t know the future state of the program?
"following temporary limits"

So there is a targeted attack on twitter?

Long term, it would kill Twitter which is the opposite of what Elon has said before about being the town square.

Time will tell.

One question I asked recently was "what is the `with` statement in Python for?" If they ask for clarification I'll mention related terms like "context management" and "RAII", which we could discuss without Python syntax.

Yes, they can Google the answer in 3s.

Yes, I could also ask a long-form question about how they would approach wrapping an IO interface in Python.

But if they don't understand `with` or resource/context management, the chances that they would produce a reasonable answer to the long-form question are tiny. They will produce an answer anyways, and it will likely be a waste of time. So we cut to the chase and target the core concepts directly.
Although I enjoy reading his essays, yes, they tend to be longer than usual.

I wonder whether he uses an editor to provide constructive feedback before publishing it or just writes and clicks "publish."

Interestingly, I found that point missing: people who do great work usually have editors/mentors/advisors to help them along the way.
It's a symptom of the US itself having no intention nor need of fighting a very protracted war in the style of WW1 utilizing artillery.

The US only has a shortage of Javelins because they have sent so many into Ukraine. In the past half a century the US hasn't had to supply a military conflict as it has with Ukraine v Russia, and almost nobody in a position of power (including across Europe) on the planet was predicting Russia's invasion. The notion of literally planning for every possibility is absurd, and if the US military tries to do that regarding a budget, it'll just get that much more flak for spending policies.

Armchair Internet users will proclaim the US military should know all and see all and know exactly how many Javelins it will need based on knowing every single conflict that will happen before it happens. And if they make a mistake, and spend a lot of money on weapons they don't need, then they must be attacked for the ridiculous spending. The armchair crowd can't have it both ways.
Oh yeah, forgot about that one. We visited Peru a few years ago and had a few. I thought it was a bit better than Irn Bru.
Computer science is large. While there is no person that knows even a fraction of the entire space, there are people who have devoted years to a specific framework, pattern, or language and can help you answer questions you didn't even know you had in a more holistic and tailored way than a book or video can do.

I also recommend Udemy as they have some great courses there.
Yeah my comment was probably supposed to be to a different sibling.

Using a time delta would give different results when doing non-linear stuff. Like applying forces. It's different to apply "force * dt" vs doing "force * 0.5dt" twice. Also if you use a big dt you could end up going through walls or similar. So therefore the physics engine should run at defined ticks in most instances, or it will behave differently based on framerate.

Hi, I get your point. Thus, whenever I'm looking for a product on amazon, I go to the website of manufacturer and try to get the intended product from there.

It can be a bit of hassle sometime, like having to pay for shipping or the delay in receiving it compared to amazon prime, or the option for return.

But apart from covering the shipping (which sometimes is okay for a product with higher value), I prefer to use the original website instead of Amazon. Few reasons being:

1. Genuine product
2. I don't want to help Amazon grow its huge empire
3. I want to support independent companies

So, hearing your comment, I'm glad I'm doing the right thing
Thanks.

I know there's a GUI version, though I'm almost always using the CLI/terminal interface myself. So I could be missing some things.
There is a better article here: https://www.espn.co.uk/mlb/story/_/id/37938979/bobby-bonilla...

That one also mentions Bonilla is not the only one to benefit from this type of arrangement in MLB. Tbh the popularity of such deals is a clear sign of economic weakness.
I don't really understand how having a larger minimum purchase unit (entire rack vs rack unit) is a USP. Your comments explain the emphasis on tighter integration across the stack, but it doesn't clearly show why this is a benefit.

What are the problems people are having with existing systems (like Vxrail), and how does Oxide fix those? What stories are you hearing?
No, you cannot add any restriction to asking for sources nor to redistribution.

You can only ask in exchange for sources for the cost of physically distributing the source, nothing more, and in that case you must offer it to anyone asking at all, even if they do not have the binary. Otherwise, you have to distribute it for free on the same medium as the binary itself.

You can not either add any restriction to the act of distributing the program or it's sources. The GPLv2 says for example "You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.". The question is whether or not terminating the subscription is a restriction, which it totally is to any reasonable reading by a layperson, and may be as well in front of a judge.
>> This can only be fixed with legislation

>> If only people cared about important stuff like this

Most don't care enough and perceive there are benefits like calling police when a crash is detected.

Those who do care can fix their own vehicles by removing transmitters and antennas. No need to do nothing while hoping for legislation.

You keep using the word 'fediverse'. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The whole point of a 'fediverse' is that there isn't a central authority for accounts. That an account on any of the federated systems is an equal participant in the system. That spinning up your own federated host to issue accounts is allowed.
I don’t know why the reporting is so poor on this bill. Everyone is focusing on water breaks but it’s so wide ranging - it preempts any and every ordinance a city could pass that is already covered under state law. This does prevent city water break ordinances, but it also prevents mandatory sick leave ordinances, plastic bag bans, tenant bill of rights that cities pass, homelessness ordinances, nondiscrimination ordinances, noise ordinances, fracking within city limits, the list just goes on and on. It’s being referred to as the “Death Star” bill because it completely destroys the concept of local governance.

Ask HN: Is the recent increase in email spam due to Google's politician policy?
Google has instituted a policy of letting politicians through their spam filter.

My theory is that when I open these emails in my inbox, they load remote assets and the spammers see that I'm reading their emails and they send me more spam or resell my email address.

Is this possible or is it just the prevailing theories of spammers getting more clever about breaking through the spam filters and/or an increase in data breaches?
For many official goverment channels public Tweets was the only reason to stay in twitter. In many countries (e.g. in europe) the information from these organisations need to be public by law. Could be the turning point for many agencies etc. to leave twitter
