My criticism can be summarized in one principle: "Bottom line up front".

It says about Dieselgate. Knowing what dieselgate is I'd expect to see the following:

Tesla put special check into firmware that detected when car is used for power consumption/distance check in standartized environment and used some trickery to get better numbers (distance) than they are getting in normal usage. Here is the proof by

Instead of that I scrolled already like 2 screens and there are rants about musk being or not being tesla founder, starlink, tesla subsidies, musk reality distortion field. Then it somehow leaps towards criticism of DRMs and I stop reading those ramblings. I don't own tesla, not have tesla stock, not musk fanboy, and the article did a poor job in convincing that anything is bad. It feels that it is is already written for haters who nod reading every point.

This article is written like modern recipes online, which are almost universally hated on HN.

I wonder if a fat tax will give the image of choice and achieve something similar?

The problem here is calling in "ecosystem of Android", it is mainly Andriod vs Samsung. You are either in the Samsung Ecosystem (i.e Samsung UI) or in the Andriod world, Most of the other vendors, the few there are, run close to stock Andriod these days.

Then of-course there is Pixel's Pure Android.

Not really all that confusing, if you can not figure it out then I trust your better served by iPhone.... you likely have also given up on computers completely as windows or linux is far too complicated for you.

They are all projects I started.

But other than who worked on them, and sharing some technology choices under the hood, there's mostly no relationship between Workers and Sandstorm.
FWIW Stan can work like this at least in simpler models, especially if you use one of its R wrapper packages.
I think that analogy is very apt- the fact that we have such a hard time understanding and predicting the outcomes of bioengineering/synthetic biology suggests that we are still missing huge parts of the picture of how life works.

It seems very likely to me that our views are too reductionist, and the much of the key information isn't even encoded at the level of DNA as previously assumed.

The cells multicellular organisms are constructed from are all shockingly similar... "cells" are basically a solved problem for this type of life, and somewhat frozen in their functionality because major changes would disrupt the larger systems that they make up.
it's not that I don't understand the analogy part of your analogy... I just don't understand how these things are actually analogous in any way.
You can think of the extra options as unnecessary, but oneui objectively gives you more fine grain controll over styling your phone
2nd data point, I'm using Galaxy s8+ from 2017. I haven't taken great care of it so the back glass has many cracks in it. However the front glass has no cracks, minor scratches but is otherwise in great shape. I don't notice the scratches when I'm using it, but they're easily visible when the phone is off and held at an angle in the light. I'm still very pleased with the performance and the battery life. I did not expect it to last more than 5 years.
DNS isn't at all hard, it only takes two months to learn when you're being paid to, and after only 6 months you'll be knowledgeable enough to teach!

This. Dex is Samsung's killer feature - but noone seems to know about it!? It's especially relevant to developers.

It's now common to see monitors that have an integrated usb hub - so no docking station needed. Just plug your phone in via one cable, it will charge, send video, and use keyboard+mouse.

You can have a 4k60 desktop, and then run termux and almost achieve a desktop-equivalent development environment. Unfortunately the newer android kernels are missing certain linux features so you can't run containers without rooting. If you do want to root then you can definitely have it all! Personally I don't want to spend the time tinkering to hide root from the banking apps.

It also works great for running things like Geforce Now and streaming games in 4k resolution, with a paired bluetooth controller.

To get the higher resolutions you need a newer Samsung flagship, S22/S23. And maybe also need to enable extra stuff via "i love dex" option in multistar.

Good question. Separate income streams are complicated. A concurrent part-time H-1B is sometimes an option for other employment. The problem with this specific situation is that a concurrent part-time H-1B would have to be structured, at least in part, as paid employment.

Hi! Thanks for doing this! I am a PhD student planning to apply for EB-1 soon (that's the only path that could work for me due to my nationality).

I am trying to understand what it takes for a successful EB-1 application and have a few questions:

1. From what I've seen, the application packet I will send would be hundreds of pages (with all the expected evidence). I am assuming the officer reviewing my application wouldn't have the time and expertise to go through all of it. What exactly would they be looking for? (in your experience) Is it the executive summary? What matters the most?

2. After the AI and LLM age, citations counts are all over the place. It's fairly common to have hundreds of citations as a grad student these days. However, if you are working in a niche area, how would you prove that your relatively low citation count is okay in your area?

3. F-1 visa is non-immigrant visa. However, I've seen many PhD students apply for EB-1 and successfully get it as a F-1 student. How exactly does that work? Would a pending/succesful EB-1 visa mean I'd never get OPT? (assuming I am waiting for my priority date).

Thanks for your time!
Sure, but if it didn't result in seeking medical care, then maybe nobody ever hears about it. This being true both now, and when we were in high school, it is hard to judge if that number is too high to be plausible or not.

The 2.5% number is more directly comparable to past numbers, if we assume that suicide attempts that lead to requiring medical care are more likely to get reported somehow.

Maybe, in the past, some high schooler one night decides to drive his car faster and faster on a deserted road, hoping that it will end up with death by car wreck. Then, they decide against it, slow down, pull over, cry, and eventually go home. We never hear about it unless they admit to somebody that it happened. But, if they end up putting the car in a ditch and get treated at a hospital, perhaps we do.

My goodness what a depressing topic to comment on. Anyway, hope everybody out there reading this feels ok! If not, it gets better, keep trying!
Can confirm, ocdtrekkie is one of Sandstorm's most active maintainers over the last few years.
As I understand it, this is the government saying that data it provided cannot be used as the basis for supporting litigation against the government.

I am not a crazy disciple of the 1A but that seems pretty clearly to be something the government should not be able to do. Couldn't the government just slip that language into any of their FOIA agreements etc?

It would be a very different situation for a non-government actor to have the clause.

Very scummy by government.
No thanks.

This is a way to get Apple to bend to the intelligence communities will. Want to keep your “license” to be a big tech company? Give the FBI a back door so we can spy on you, I mean save the children and protect you from terrorists and white supremacists.
Probably the “screen-generation” needs to learn how to really enjoy an experience. Photography is one of my hobbies but for me it’s a different experience that enjoying being on certain place. Seeing a glacier for example is a completely different thing than trying to capture an image that would convey what you feel by being there. Same as taking a portrait of somebody is not the same as talking to them.

There are people who have tried to write the RPC layer without it simply being a wrapper around the C++ implementation, but it's a LOT of code to rewrite for not a lot of direct benefit.

Feel free to take a crack at it. People would likely be rather cooperative about it. However, know that it's just simply a lot of work.
99% of our movies involve "the good guy" beating down "the bad guy".

> Still, as an occasional reader, I have noticed certain trends. When stories that focus on structural barriers faced by women in the workplace, or on diversity in tech, or on race or masculinity—stories, admittedly, that are more intriguing to me, a person interested in the humanities, than stories on technical topics—hit the front page, users often flag them, presumably for being off topic, so fast that hardly any comments accrue.

I have noticed this trend for a long time also, and well before this article was first written. It seems to go in waves though I'll cautiously say that it seems to have gotten somewhat better in recent years. I remember a time in the mid-2010s when these kinds of stories would disappear almost instantaneously. Now some of these articles and topics get a good number of upvotes and occasionally even substantive dialogue.

That said, the comments sections on these articles do tend to devolve pretty quickly.
odd, the front page advertised feature I see is:

I started to really learn about computers (i.e. using Debian instead of Windows) in the mid-2000's, but it wasn't until Chrome and Node.js popped up everywhere at the start of the next decade that I really began to dig into the issue of hardcore applications development.

So it was really a no-brainer for me to go along on the entire JS ecosystem ride of the 2010's, purely for the purpose of trying to get my computer to do what I wanted it to do (as opposed to making "apps" for everyone else).

In 2012, I started working on the code of the project now acronymically known as LOTW (Linux on the Web [1]), but I suppose it could just as easily have gone by the letters WDWT (Web Dev Without Tools).

The short answer is no, they do not have to spend at least 6 months a year in the U.S. We have many clients whose parents essentially live in two countries. Certain easy steps just need to be taken in advance.
How can the researchers simultaneously publish research and not be allowed to testify to their conclusions in litigation though? It seems clear that this is not a privacy concern and is rather a protective measure.
I've been thinking about switching to an iPhone because I'm tired of never upgrading my phone to avoid it breaking, but the fact that I can't install ReVanced or an adblocker stops me. I don't know if I'll ever change my mind on this, lack of good ad blocking really is a dealbreaker for me.
Ask HN: Why do I lose internet connection everytime my neighbors Tesla comes in?
its annoying.
They don't care until they need to do something that they can't do because their platform doesn't allow them to do it. There's no reason why compilers couldn't run on phones. Modern phones are more powerful than computers were even 15 years ago. And yet you can't do the things on a modern phone that you could on that computer from 15 years ago. At least you can't do it nearly as easily because of artificial limitations.
Sorry again for that, we had some issues scaling up. Your cophone is up and running!
Still slower than OTA TV was, but about as slow as the last satellite box I ever owned so fair enough.
Yeah, that's the dropdown.
> I kinda agree and think DNS one of those technologies where you can go an entire career without picking up more than bits and peices here and there.

As far as that's true it's weird, because DNS basically does one straightforward thing. But then you get into all the places where that one thing has to be done in different ways.

Where I wouldn't mind some more magic is with reverse DNS. Too many tables don't know a name pointing to an IP until something tries to resolve that name.

Reliably historical rdns would be even more awesome but that's more of a service than a spec thing.
I appreciate you're sincere about these issues.

> But at the end of the day it's fundamentally important to understand at what point transparency and privacy intersect.

"At the end of the day," these conversations about privacy are like 15 minutes long at private schools. People still keep sending their kids to private schools. I just don't know how much it matters.

They surely care about privacy in their internal research and metrics, but they don't employ a full time Privacist. They might employ someone who checks the right boxes for them and deals with FERPA shit. But because they are aligned with the parents in delivering the best educations, for the most part, they are trusted to do with data what they want, and that sometimes includes inviting outside collaborators to look at it, without anywhere near the same faff as the CDE.

If you're a journalist and you want to help a private school make a better education, out of the thousands of private schools, one of them will both let you write about it and also tell them something they don't wanna hear. Some might use privacy or whatever as the reason they don't want to collaborate with you, but on average it will be about trust.

The CDE is never going to do that. There's only 1 CDE, and they are there to preserve the status quo.
Pixel 3 was awhile ago. I quite like the hot mess of features that Android used to have. I want to try that new idea even if it doesn't work out. However, I think that's in the past now except for maybe foldable design which I'm not that interested in. It does feel like there's still some cool camera stuff coming from the Android side.

I just upgraded my Android phone, different manufacturer, the migration was done via my Google account I didn't have to plug in a cable.

> Did you know that a lot of Android apps that use the camera just open it up and take a screenshot?

I don't think I've ever seen that. I switched from iOS to Android quite some time back, I found iOS annoying because it felt like apps couldn't easily share with each other and a lot of tasks took too many steps. That was from an iPhone 5 so I imagine it's very different now, but I tried out a 14 and thought it still wasn't for me.
Yeah, Ozone looks interesting. I was just not sure who used it at scale other than a Japanese startup. The community engagement seems much lower than other communities, though.

It does strike me that the polarization is more of an internet phenomenon rather than a social media phenomenon (although of course they are tightly linked). People get most of their news from the internet now, and to cope with the disruption major outlets started having to make a lot more clickbait and inflammatory content, and that results in polarization.

I think these charts say it all: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2019/06/th...
On a general plane why do we even care to identify a (non) person?

We should care whether the peer has some "skin in the game". For example a Bitcoin wallet with some Satoshis locked in a multi-signature smart contract would probably insure that. This approach would automatically ensure a free and robust digital identity and secure communication via secret/public key of that wallet.

If some rules need to be imposed - they could be managed through the smart contract plus some type of an oracle - here I second your thought. Though in this approach (with bitcoin wallet as identity) it is easy to fund the proper process in a transparent and balanced way because the funds are there already.
It will certainly impact my experience when Musk gets tired of losing money and sells the husk to some grifter or Verizon.

Of course they use some source. The scientist I've quoted in the other comment explained that (in the Italian news at least) there was some confusion as journalists used data from an ESA article, reporting temperatures on the ground.

OTOH, it's a bit strange that BBC feels the need to specify the height at which the temperatures were taken or predicted, a height that appears to be different from the standard one (but I have no specific knowledge about this so it might be perfectly normal). But it could explain the discrepancy between the temperatures reported on the site linked by the OP and those of BBC.
SpaceX hasn’t obtained environmental permits for ‘flame deflector’ it’s testing
You’re gonna need a source on “most users” to fly that one.

“Sensor Tower data reveals that U.S. iPhone users spent an average of $138 on apps in 2020, up 38% from 2019.”
You make a big assumption that it is all about status or that status is a simple equation.

From what I have seen, Android phones appeal to people who want or must spend as little as possible on their phones. It also appeals to people who want to tweak and customize their phones. There is a brand appeal among some of those people to be the anti-Apple.

Apple does appeal to some for brand identity. It also seems to appeal to people who are buying a phone that they can just take out of the box and use without spending much time in setup and configuration.
Seems the difference is a mall requires checkout at each “department”, Walmart only once. (Also can be cheaper because of economies of scale, though this can adversely effect convenience—you don’t have to man every department at all times a WalMart is open.)

Why this burning desire to go to a top college?

I know enough of those who went to these so-called top tier colleges, meanwhile I took my time getting through an average college, but nonetheless exploring interests, making eclectic friends.

Most people around me were treating life like a sprint - My young self even back then knew it was a marathon.

I am not saying be aimless but don't drive yourself crazy at this altar of success - it will come, but there are life lessons you learn in your 20s - that are the foundation for a better life later.
Is this an issue with observables or an issue with RxJS allowing you to shoot yourself in the foot?

A saner API (as shown in the proposal) has some obvious benefits in handling certain use cases without necessarily devolving into the crazy streams one sees with RxJS.

i love how the main reference for workerd can be just one capnp file.

if there was just a good enough js library as for lua and you could directly send capnp messages to workerd instead of always going through files. I guess one day i have to relearn c++ and understand how the internals actually work.
The E-2 is a more check the box kind of visa while the O-1 is a good bit more subjective and really just tougher to get. The issue with the E-2 for new companies is that a substantial portion of the investment (a typic minimum investment is at least $100k) must be spent before the E-2 applicant/investor can apply for the E-2.
