> Being a Russian passport holder who lives abroad for years, I don't want to be in touch with my gov in any way possible, and moreover depend on it.

Real identity doesn't necessarily mean passport. It can mean, for example, a visa issued by your host government; being a valid visa holder therefore grants you a valid digital identity issued by that country.

> People don't always live in their country of citizenship, they don't always live in one place (see digital nomads) and have a residence, they don't always trust their government and they should not be discriminated on internet usage because of that. That makes a person more of a government property rather than a human being.

Then let's get rid of passports. Sounds like the deeper issue, no? Wouldn't you agree that freedom of movement and immigration is a higher and more important freedom than freedom of internet access?

This is the world we live in. Immigration concerns exist. Government-issued identity is real. It just hasn't caught up to the 21st century.
It's the fact that the games are geared towards sexed up number crunching. Anything that can't be quantified into a number is ignored by the developers.

That team has strangled every engineer suggesting high energy devices like radars be included in the car.
I don't quite get this. It was a round-trip thing right, like the overall net elevation change at the end of the day was 0, right? All that energy was stored as potential energy, they'd get it back rolling down the mountain. To my understanding a round-trip it shouldn't have made that much of an impact.

But it wouldn't be one person per truck waiting. There would be drivers who just spend all day driving the final 10 miles of the route, from off ramp to distribution center.

Doing an 8 hour shift of that, 5 days per week, would also be a much better quality of life for the drive instead of being a long haul trucker, I assume. This may make it easier to recruit drivers - isn't there a truck driver shortage in America?
Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome
I've worked in many different types of companies. Every one that wasn't a tiny startup was full to the brim of people not doing anything meaningful. Entire roles and workflows are invented to create work. No, the scrum master isn't needed and you only need that project manager because the product manager is fighting for turf with the program manager and they want to show the director a burn down chart so he can pretend to know what's going on to the vp who's out on retreat with the ceo. Doesn't matter though because HR set a hard limit of 2% raises this year, but line managers still make sure to have your reports do their 360 degree evaluations!

I wish that were some sort of hyperbole or exaggeration, but it's reality.

Since Christianity is topical here, let’s see what we can find in Christian lore to help us understand the way of the superior human being when confronting corruption in religion, clergy, and institutions.

There is a well known incident as related to us in the Hadith of Jesus son of Mary. One day “the morality police” of the Pharisee apparently thought they were being clever in shooting two birds with one stone (pun intended). They went to the quarter where prostitutes worked and dragged a woman caught in the act and brought her before that lovely one. This was to discredit him before the Israelites as his progressive and luminous teachings were indeed a threat to their station of power and prestige and control over the people. Jesus did not tear them a new one using words (even though certainly capable of it) nor did he pick up the stone and throw it at them (even though they certainly deserved it).

No. What he did was silently allude to the poor grasp of the people of the actual Law, and then with a simple statement he not only confronted the Pharisees with their own corruption and sinful nature, but also saved a soul from certain death. To their credit, the Pharisees in question were ‘self-reflective’ enough to get the message and leave in peace.

This is how he was inviting people to a superior understanding without alienating them (!) and at the same time clearly establishing the guilt of the standing church and its priests. In fact, this way was so effective that the Sanhedrin decided that they had to get rid of him, intent on murdering him.
I don't disagree in the shortest term, but remember it can easily be inflated (deliberately) into oblivion such that carrying a valuable amount is impossible. The logical extension of this sentiment is a gold backed currency. While we're at it, end the Fed.

It is not pushed; it is a right. It is just a difference in culture. We americans have a strong legal system that is made for small and large cases. On top of that, we are allowed to do it privately by settling matters outside of the legal system when possible. It is not meant to be a “I don’t like this, so I will sue” however a lot of bad actors have popularized this. In fact, if a business acted in a way that was offensive, we have a right to defend ourselves. If there is no way to do that then we are losing something necessary to prevent a dystopian future. I do believe the american schooling system has become to naive and only teach the abstract general education classes.

I believe a lot of it came down to how much American companies had to be sued in the past and presently are because of the lack of regulations. Especially for a lot of newer technologies, or reduction of cost for previously discovered technologies. With current lobbying practices and ease of influence on our government, many people are forced to take things to court to cementify regulations or rights. Sometimes we are forced to take a business or individuals to court because many americans are uncaring for one another and some have tried to screw each other over.

It is not to say this does not happen all around the world. America seems to very loud. It is easy to see and hear about all kinds of things that happen to a large nation like america. While other larger nations either shut down the press or news coverages and are blatantly corrupted. Some of the large nations in europe are not all roped into one another under a single name like "Europe." It is all odd and complex.

I have jumped the gun too early on telling him to sue. I should have asked if he spoke to github before making that suggestion. my bad.

I just now need a deduplicating asymmetrically encrypted backup program.

I've tried duplicity in the past, and maybe I should try it again. But my recollection is that duplicity will just fail to do backups at the slightest hint of any problem. Like maybe if the last backup was interrupted then no more backups for you until you attend to it.

Edit: More memories returning of having to dig out my decryption key to resync the metadata when duplicity gets unhappy, and then since my target server was append-only, duplicity was upset when it wasn't allowed overwrite any of it's incomplete metadata files. I guess the ZFS snapshot technique would alleviate the latter issue.

To be fair, if tarsnap gets confused it needs the keys to do its fsck command, but I recall this sort of thing happening regularly with duplicity and almost never with tarsnap.
Could you clarify? I can't tell what position you're stating.
I actually got stranded once for some hours because of the mileage indicator!

Was driving back from a campsite that I turned out to not have charging compatibility with, but thought I had plenty of margin to get to the nearest charger. As I drove through the mountains however, I began noticing that a.) my battery was depleting much faster than expected and b.) I wasn’t seeing any houses and very few motorists. I watched with increasing dread as the trip miles began converging with the battery miles, as my friends in the car got more and more quiet. We reached the inflection point, and the best I could do was hope we’d encounter somewhere with a plug that might be able to get us the rest of the way. Eventually though the milage indicator reached zero, and I pulled off the road to what I thought was a campsite but turned out to be a sort of rest stop with no power plugs in sight. To make matters worse I was in a mountain valley and had no phone signal, and hiking wasn’t an option as it was pretty hot and we had no water. We were there for hours until I was able to flag down a nice older couple and get a ride to a place with cell signal, where I was able to get a tow truck capable of transporting my car (turns out you need one that has a full bed because of the regenerative breaking, and tesla’s service doesn’t have infinite coverage) to the charger I was trying to get to.

Ironically that last part was probably the most frustrating. The charging spot was full save one spot in the back, which my tow truck guy Mel couldn’t get back to. No sweat I thought, I’ll just try asking someone to swap, but people in their cars pretended to ignore me, and one couple leaving theirs just walked away, as I asked if they could move so we could unload my dead car. Had a sudden wave of empathy for the people I usually walk away from who ask me for spare change lol. Eventually someone left and I was able to charge and resume the 6 hour road trip home. Biggest lesson learned was that slow is fast, keep it at 60 if you want the milage meter to not die as quick.
It’s more relevant how much you need to accelerate, not just your velocity. A satellite in orbit uses very little energy even though it’s going very fast.
As a Tesla owner, I think the source of the confusion is the EPA range displayed in the HUD on the Tesla. We toggled ours to show the battery percentage, which is much more useful to us.

We've never owned a gas vehicle that met it's EPA range and the Tesla is no different. No one takes EPA MPG * GALLONS of gas and expects it to be a real life estimate of range.

Wind resistance increases EXPONENTIALLY with speed. Drive a little over the speeds the EPA used to determine range, and the observed range will drop significantly as a percentage when compared to the EPA range for any vehicle.

If you do have a Tesla, you'll quickly find out that the trip computer is very accurate. The worst I've seen is a cold January day in Wisconsin (-10F) while on a road trip with a head wind. In that scenario, the trip computer was off by 7% mostly due to the head wind. In the summer, it is spot on usually within 1 - 2%.

Should this actually be independent of market position? Basically if you offer an OS or something, you can not bundle anything at all in it if someone asks to have their paid option as alternative.

Let say someone writes paid CLI-tools for Linux. Could they go around all distros and demand they unbundle things from them so they can offer some way to sell their own inside it? Maybe remove vi, less and so on. Or even entire shell...
Those fences are also popular in places where it is cold in the winter. No posts in the ground means no frost heave. A fence like that can sit unmaintained for decades before it starts to fall apart.
Tesla has the guess-o-meter based on recent driving, it’s just on a separate Energy page.

I leave the dashboard meter set to percent because the “miles” option is just the dumb EPA rated range mapped to percent anyway.

The real way to predict range in a Tesla is to use the nav system which takes many factors into account and has been very accurate in my experience.
I hear some very clever labs can do more than one thing at a time.
"Better for the consumer" doesn't automatically mean cheaper. Competition is better than no competition. It should (doesn't always) lead to lower prices in a specific sector but may lead to higher spending overall, like in your example lower cost for better video/chat client but perhaps larger IT spend overall at the corporate level. Still better for the consumer because they have better products.
It won't solve any of these problem.

Show HN: LLM App – build a realtime LLM app in 30 lines, with no vector database
Hi HN, I am Jan, CTO and co-founder of Pathway.com.

We’ve built a LLM microservice that answers questions about a corpus of documents, while automatically reacting to additions of new docs. The single, self-contained service fully replaces a complex multi-system pipeline that scans in real-time for new documents, indexes them into a specialized database and queries it to generate answers. Everyone can have their own real-time vector now.

Insurance companies should get behind Right to Repair.

It's hard to support a heterogeneous space of user agents running on a heterogeneous set of platforms. Eventually, abstractions break and you end up with a weird bug that only manifests on such-and-such browser in so-and-so configuration.

"...moving twice the speed takes 4X the energy..."

That's not quite right. The power required to maintain a constant velocity v against a constant drag force of F is P = Fv. With air drag on a car moving at highway speeds, the drag force F actually depends on v: it's proportional to the square of v, i.e. F ~ v^2. All together then:

P ~ v^3

So doubling the speed will increase the required power by a factor of eight.
It just means that the professionals don't risk their lives and they're executing desperate people.

No they aren't. Here in this country (Poland) I enjoy all these things in most places and there is no death penalty. Many people argue our criminal penalties are far too lenient for violent crime, but there is still relatively little of it.

How safe or unsafe a place is has very little to do with the harshness of its laws and everything about the values of the people that leave there. Is there a general acceptance for law breaking? Is the law enforcement seen as corrupt? Are laws applied selectively? Are people seen as lawbreakers that "made it" seen as an example to aspire to? Is successfully "gaming the system" something one can use as a status symbol? Also, the level of poverty, how bad or good are the living conditions, access to (mental) healthcare. All these things are way more important that the harshness of penalties applied.
Convince everyone you know to switch browsers. Tell them the truth we all know: If people keep using Google Chrome, they'll take away ad blocking, they'll block you from copy-pasting, taking screenshots, anything you know the usual bastards have tried or you can imagine will try to restrict a device from doing to try to "extract value out of the user".

Firefox is the most obvious alternative, and for those who prefer a Chromium base: Brave, Iridium and ungoogled-chromium, in order of how much functionality has been stripped away from least to most, are open source, privacy-focused solutions.

This sums up my experience completely - I used linux for over a decade and finally got tired of the little annoyances that no desktop environments seemed to solve. ChromeOS wraps it all up (presumably because the hardware is known and the OS is built against that hardware). And then Crostini allows me to do all the fun full stack development things (like k8s, minikube, docker, etc.)

NAT used that way usually, because other solutions are lacking or too expensive, and because the people who invented IPv6 didn't bother trying to solve real problems.

Soda cans also have a counterintuitive efficiency feature: concave bottoms. If a can with a flat bottom held the same amount of soda, it would be shorter and have less surface area, but its metal body would need to be thicker to withstand the same pressure. In the end, it'd require more aluminum.

The issue is that MS uses it's market domineering position in the office / OS market to push it's other (unrelated) products.

The former is without competition and without any (realistic) chance of there ever being competition so Microsoft can bundle whatever they want and companies have to buy it with no power to negoiate something different/cheaper.

After crushing the competition they can raise the bundle prices and there is another quasi monopoly for MS.

This is very desirable for Micorsoft and very undesirable for consumers and the general public especially outside America.
