I made a single GitHub question about nice app Stats (exelban), this is a little tale:
Posted on GitHub(void):
"Not sure is a bug

LitleSnitch report more than a 1200 ICMP connections. Don't use Stats network module"
End Post

And then I dont expect any type of feedback. Perhaps why this app need a lot of ping around all the world. Curiosity.

Exelban developper explain this in: https://github.com/exelban/stats/issues/1444#issuecomment-15...
"Hi. Thanks for the feedback.
Network connectivity is a mechanism that uses ICPM protocol to detect if mac can reach some external server. It's the best way that I know to detect if mac has internet. This "chart" visualizes the last 120 ICMP requests. It allows to determine if there was some internet issue for the last 120 seconds (normally 1 request per 1 second)."

Getting unexpected exelban dev response by mail:
"at least use google before opening the trash issue"

Im not sorry, im not a google fan-user, im a old retired IT Admin and like good apps (Stats), but also like scripts that can do anything in only few lines. Understanding optimised code.

Thanks

Contract signing – painful, expensive, ugly
The issue of contracting digitally has been solved.
There are thousands of ways to sign a contract.
However, a couple of things concern me that remain unresolved.

The main contract management systems were founded 15 years ago and look terrible.

Speed, aesthetics, and cost are lacking.
I don't want to spend a lot of money and time and suffer from bloodshot eyes just by signing an NDA or SAFE.

It should be fast, modern, and inexpensive.

With respect to the matter at hand, I think that your analysis is correct: the federal government has the authority to prohibit a NY-based payment processor from processing certain payments in California. But it has no authority to prohibit that NY-based payment processor’s California-based subsidiary from processing those payments within California.

There are bunches of web frameworks and various support libraries for both Haskell and for Common Lisp. They'll range from simple use cases to more complete and/or opinionated in style, depending what your needs are. For Haskell examples, Servant is used for web APIs, where Yesod is a larger all-around framework.

In less time than it takes to boil water, a gas camping stoves can produce enough CO to fill a large tent...I know from experience. My CO meter saved me from more than a headache.

A headache because I thought the CO meter was malfunctioning until I started feeling the headache. Live and learn.

But I had a CO meter because of Youtube. And because of Walmart.

CO has the same molecular weight as N2 and so it doesn't dissipate without air exchange (N2 is most of the atmosphere). So the only way to get away from it is to go outside.

But it's night because it's winter. The temperature is -6C. The wind is 50km/hr. There's snow on the ground. You're malnourished. And now you have a headache.

Thinking "I will feel better once I am warm," is not unreasonable.
He’s just some guy at an aerospace startup who is trying to make some lol.

Problem with his approach is that the synthesis requires some materials that are restricted to academic/scientific labs (like red phosphorus), so he’s probably not going to be first to replicate.
In the past few hours, the websites have been coming back online. The only thing that's still down seems to be the package download features in the feeds: https://status.myget.org/

We can list and search for packages via the API, and the result seems to be complete. Downloads of individual packages won't work, but strangely you can go to the website, select a feed, and download the full feed as *.zip-File and get all your packages that way.

We're in the process of migrating to another service now. The writing has been on the wall for quite some time already, with all options to contact support hidden. It felt like they just kept the service around without doing any maintenance, which the now already two day downtime shows.
The Blinkstick Nano I used is okay to work with, but the software library support has been a little middling. Back when I originally bought a few (when Python 2 was still current), there weren't issues, but I think the guy who maintains it all has a bit more to maintain than he can deal with (which I totally understand!).

Luckily _most_ things work fine if you build your own Python scripts. Most of the things that break have to do with the little Python app that's supposed to allow easy CLI control.

Ehh ... is Wikipedia seen as "not innovating" or "evil"? Craigslist? They haven't really changed their core model (except for Wikipedia's recent more minimal look, I guess, but that's a pretty small change in the last decade). Wikipedia went the direction that once they had more money than they needed to run it, they started to do other stuff. I think that's great. Once your killer app is hugely successful, stop messing with it. Focus on running it efficiently and reliably with a small crew, and take the ongoing income from that to try other things.

Yes, the companies you listed are viewed negatively, but that's not because they have a sustainable business model. Don't underestimate the many perfectly valid reasons those companies earned their reputations.
So basically 'more efficient'?

I'd dispute the 'dramatically' more efficient power grids, unless that's couched in industry terms - ie a 10% reduction in transmission losses might be 'dramatic' for energy grid engineers. But not really world-changing, for the rest of us.

A Jackery 1000 is already 20+ lbs and over $1000, and it wouldn't get an EV far. Spare power packs would have to be large and very expensive.

Better idea would be a mobile fast charging truck. Ironically that truck would have to be a diesel to make sure it had the range to support distant stranded vehicles, and not be insanely heavy and expensive itself.
Brave has issues. They may do some bad stuff. But they've doing something good here, let's appreciate that.
No, farm cattle have numbers because that's the most efficient way to keep track of them. The farms might be large, and the cattle might change ownership at various stages. It just doesn't work to name them, just like naming computers in a datacenter doesn't scale past a certain point.

And as a counter-example, I know families in the rural midwest that name their livestock while raising them. The important bit is that they teach the children the difference between pets and livestock early on so it doesn't come as a shock to them that their dinner was grazing out on the back 40 just the other day. It's only shocking to those who aren't acquainted with the realities of agriculture life.

In Washington state at the very least this isn't true. The default parenting division is 50:50, and there would need to be strong extenuating circumstances for a parent that wants 50% parental time to not get it. In my experience men are less likely to seek 50%.

Equal co-parenting is hard, it pretty much requires that you live in or near the same school district as your ex. Being a weekend or summer co-parent doesn't have the same constraints.

It won't be the right solution for every case, but it is always available.

I know several single dads raising kids with little or no co-parent from the mother, but it is the exception, I know far more who went with "every other weekend plus one midweek night"

Do you have a romantic view of Japan that doesn't exist maybe?

I agree. On my view, it's ultimately a quantitative question.

E.g., if we had a system where 1 unjust execution avoided 1 million being killed by drunk drivers, I'd chose the unjust execution. But if those numbers were reversed, I wouldn't.

But if I'm being honest, I can't justify why someone should prefer my ethical framework over some other. So I'm not sure my opinion means much in the end.
There was bipartisan support for what Reagan did. You have to remember that One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was a hit in the mid 70s and there was a massive bipartisan support for the idea that institutionalization was infringing on rights. And to be fair, Mental Institutions in that era were horrendous. So this was an easy bipartisan win for politicians in the 70s and 80s.
> Because you can also buy a real PC pre-loaded with GNU/Linux for about the same price, around 300 euros.

In the US, decent Chromebooks usually go for about 200 USD. Decent meaning intel mainstream core processors. From what I've seen, those tend to be well supported by 3rd party firmwares; Intel Atom based Chromebooks seem to have a lot of delays in support, ARM based seem to be mostly unsupported, I don't know about AMD based. It's better to confirm the 3rd party firmware details before purchase, of course, but Intel mainstream core is a good rule of thumb; and it's a good rule of thumb for performance too (although current AMD is likely better if you know you can boot your OS of choice)

My issue here is: This new material is essentially standard "high temperature" YBCO superconductor material just slightly modified, or? The authors are not doing anything dramatically new, like a new chemistry.

How likely is it that all the other 1000s of labs doing research on this topic just missed this lucky combination of baking, cooling and whatnot?
That is an accurate meter, it is not a Tesla problem. My PHEV works the same way, but that fact isn’t really relevant.

The meter is presenting you the regeneration “rate” but what you’re thinking of is the regen rate integrated over time, I.e the amount of charge recovered during the process of stopping, which the meter is not showing you.

There's a dude on twitter who's replicating it himself first-hand. He has the know-how and the process is "trivial" in his own words.

I am going to attempt to address the common nitpicks in one fell swoop:

1. Rushed publication, plot quality, grammar, etc. Get over yourselves. This is a pre-print for an instant-Nobel, next-tier-of-civilization level discovery. The proper publication will come in due time. Waiting for a more complete verification is a sheltered view. Being first matters. Things changed after the J/Psi discovery in 1974. For those that don't know, Sam Ting discovered it first, yet sat on it for months waiting for a complete verification. Then Richter's group also discovered it months later and Ting was forced to publish at the same time and share the Nobel. This changed the publication attitude in the field significantly. Being first matters.

2. "Terrible science." Again, get over yourselves. Just because the preprint doesn't match your taste specifically doesn't mean it's bad science. You can't satisfy everyone- there will ALWAYS be someone who complains about some missing measurement or plot they view as essential. Most of the time, the 'missing' component is directly related to their own work. In other words, people want to see what they understandd as being important to them, also reflected in other publications. That does not mean it's a valid criticism. It's nitpicking.

The most realistic timeline is 2-3 months for a positive verification. 6 months for a negative verification. If it works, it will be quicker because a positive reproduction needs less work. A negative verification needs to be more thorough and will take more time.
Webex is incredibly popular.
Thank you. Slides don't really tell the whole story.
Probably showing range in 3 different places that don't really agree is bad right?

We are HN tech crowd here so its all fun & games hobbyist stuff.

But normies do not want to get into these types of inane subtleties.

Arguably the front & center, always-there range display should be the most accurate, not the least accurate.
Maybe it gives the user an underestimate then wastes gas later to meet it? :D
that's called "making a good product" and "a better product than your competitors".

there no monopolistic manipulation, here. there are no deals with hardware makers to omit Sublime Text and pre-install VScode. there's no threat of refusing to sell Windows licenses or to increase their price if someone doesn't comply.

nothing was embraced. nothing extended. they haven't forked Electron or used some open source component, forked it and added features so that the userbase has left the open version in exchange for Microsoft's extended version.

this isn't EEE, this is basic product competition.

I still maintain that since the 1990s, a LOT of people view Microsoft through evil-colored glasses and they don't know it. they take those glasses off when viewing the activities of any other company.

Microsoft got the verdict they deserved in the antitrust trials. they were rightly found guilty.

Microsoft hasn't repeated that behavior in any meaningful way since, that I can see, and I've been looking. I'm just not confusing normal capitalistic badness for historical Microsoft badness.

User agent strings are all fake and should just be removed. Browsers modify them to game what servers send them, Microsoft had a great blog post about it when they released edge showing the difference in what it received based on user agent string changes.
Yes. At the moment, I think Teslas are the best vehicles available for purchase on the market, electric or otherwise: They have great performance, great reliability, long-lasting materials (my oldest Tesla still feels new!), decent service, and amazing charging infrastructure (at least in the US).

In 1-2 years, I'm hopeful other automakers, including MB, BMW, and Audi, will come out with new EVs that are truly competitive on all these fronts vs Tesla.
It’s not a standard matrix and what do you mean by no new chemistry?
> Then we should not depend on people making the right choice.

Broadly speaking, any system that depends on an unbroken chain of good people who do the right things out of the goodness of their hearts is bound to fail much sooner rather than later. So I agree.

The system should be designed so that people taking action out of their own interests nevertheless advances society as a whole. As Adam Smith put it: "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." The system that was designed this way is capitalism, warts and all.

> One idea here is more progressive taxation.

I'm not sure how that conclusion follows from your premise. If you want to set up incentive structures such that people chasing their own interests also ends up being useful for society, then you want to make sure that people voluntarily pay money for goods and services that they value. The supplier of that value makes money, the consumer of that value is better off, and society as a whole is enriched as a result.

This also means that the state takes action to break trusts and monopolies, and (more difficultly) guards against regulatory capture, all of which end up making it so that people involuntarily pay for goods and services that they don't necessarily value. Rent-seeking behavior such as this is one of the highest economic ills.

"More progressive taxation" does many things, but it is also exceptionally good at enriching the politically well-connected, often in the form of rent-seeking behavior I described above. Look at world government spending as a fraction of GDP[0] as a good proxy for "more progressive taxation", and tell me between France (58.5%), the US (38.5%) and Singapore (15.4%), which you consider a well-run country where people do more useful things for society.

I will tell you a dirty secret. Most company os images only ship with the default MS browser. I had colleagues using Internet Explorer or later Edge when Firefox and Chrome had already run out of sight. Had to help them over Skype or Teams.

My initial thought is that it's a mitigation to litigation. Maybe the thought was as long as you show the "legal" mileage calculation, you can't be held responsible for anything bad that happens? I don't think we apply that to ICE but I could see where a lawyer thinks it's necessary.
The EPA recommended system is pretty accurate and conservative, according to the article. Mercedes is supposed to use it and has more accurate estimates. Tesla is still using their own math from before the EPA had a plan.

Meanwhile, what difference does it make if most Tesla customers do X? Tesla now has enough customers that hurting 10% of them is a major impact.

Lawns don't usually die in the summer, they go dormant. You can usually distinguish between dead grass and dormant grass by observing the color: dormant grass is yellow, while dead grass is grayish.

Texas lawns commonly use some form of bermuda grass, which goes dormant during the hot season (typically late July to late September). Some lawns will mix in a rye grass which shows bright green color during this same season to preserve the look, but obviously this compromises the growth of both types of grass.
Both cars I've owned have had better efficiency and thus range than advertised (a Honda and a Subaru). I'm often shocked at how I can get 38-40mpg + on a car that is supposed to be getting 29mpg.

> You could even see the stream of water and feces rushing out everytime you flushed it.

What you did was illegal. Boats are not allowed to discharge waste into water inland or at sea unless 10 miles out at sea (USA and I'm sure most other nations). If caught the fines are quite severe. You must flush into a holding tank which is emptied by vacuum while at port. OR discharge once far out at sea.

Though since you rented this was likely operator error due to inexperience. Some boats have different plumbing systems with a Y valve that diverts to holding tank or overboard. Some boats have no Y valve so they flush directly into a tank that also has a macerator pump that empties the tank while at sea. The pump switch is usually on the dashboard OR sometimes in the bathroom and people mistake the macerator pump button for the flush button. Or they try to turn something on the dash and hit the macerator pump switch by accident.

Next time you rent a boat please make sure you are familiar with the sewage system function. The rental facility will show you how it operates properly.
Your vision of the future sounds hellish.
