I went to fosdem for the first time this year. I had heard the stories, but most laptops I saw did appear to be running linux. Though maybe it is because I don't care about the big web dev and related rooms.
It’s not laziness exactly. Laziness is mere idleness. These people are not idle. It’s hustle culture.

These people work very hard managing all their bots and offshore gig workers to churn out spam, run dropship hustles, set up bullshit web sites, spam marketplaces with counterfeit goods, …

The goal is to make outsized profits on a lifestyle where you don’t answer to anyone. It’s more of a way of life and even a bit of a cult. Andrew Tate for instance gets all the press for being rapey but one of his biggest gigs is “hustlers university” where he teaches this stuff. This of course is also a hustle. It’s hustles all the way down.
Sure, but Tesla doesn’t sell that many vehicles. They only went over a million last year (will be closer to 2 million this year it would appear.

what a great reminder I should be using https://www.pulumi.com/ vs. terraform!
Any site that uses a dark pattern like only having "Allow all" and "Show purposes" is in clear violation of the GDPR, and they could just as well have just ignored showing anything! The regulation is clear that opting out should be as easy as opting in. A conforming consient dialog has a "reject all" as well as an "allow" button.

And when they do, I always click "reject all". I think most people would - which is why I guess some sites still try to use those dark patterns. I'm still waiting for a big regulatory fine to make an example. If a known company is fined almost out of existence due to lack of a reject button, I think there would be instant self-regulation here.

> For me anyway GDPR has been largely a waste of bureaucracy, a better effort would be to educate populous about what cookies are and how tracking works and the extent of the trackings etc - these stuff should be in High School curriculum already by now.

Don't confuse the GDPR with "cookie banners" though. That's the end user visible tip of the iceberg. The biggest premise (and in my opinion the genius of the regulation) is that the end user is not required to know or understand anything. Instead, the people handling their data should. And if nothing else, it really has forced everyone (often even outside the EU) to think twice about how their data is stored and retained. And that's huge positive even if cookies were never a thing in gdpr.
The author is saying that they want to write things that generate discussion threads of interest to them. You have different interests.

Quick on the trigger is exactly the point of the dig example. The author is reminding you that you have control over what you see and you should use it. Most people have a set of topics they can’t constructively engage in debate over. That’s fine. I’d rather they conserve their energy and keep posting on topics where they can.

Doesn't need to be the USA directly, it could be anywhere in europe where Meta has assets.

I'm also not sure if the courts in the US default to cooperating in such situations; I seem to remember something about Congress passing a law saying that Americans didn't need to pay fines for (libel?) imposed by (UK courts?) or something like that, suggesting that such was the default before then.
Not if you're using incandescence (LEDs and fluorescence use different mechanisms where this tradeoff doesn't exist in the same way). Incandescence is black-body radiation and the thing about black-body radiation is that as the temperature increases both the total energy given off and the proportion of higher energy radiation (useful visible light) to lower energy radiation (waste infrared) increase. So a hotter incandescent lightblub is more efficient than a cooler one (at least up until the point that it's so hot it starts giving off too much ultraviolet light, but that corresponds to a temperature at which no material is solid), though still pretty shockingly inefficient. Note that heat output and temperature can change seperately: a bulb running at a higher temperature (what I mean by hotter) can either have more light output for the same heat output, or less heat output for the same light output (for example, if the filament is shorter).
Oh man this fills me with nostalgia.

In (public) Suburb middle school I had a friend who played folk music as a hobby, and also made his own instruments. Mostly violin and hurdy-gurdy [1], probably because his parents were farmers in the suburb and owned a smith/wood workshop. His unique hobbies made him a bit of an outcast and people made fun of him in school, but I was in to classic music so we got along well.

A year or two later I changed school to a private school in the city who specialized in classic music, which was a drastically different environment; most of my classmates from then are professional musician.

It didn't work out for me that well in the end, but one good thing that came out of it was that I contacted him and suggested he also switch, which was a great life changing moment for him because everyone (including the dean) loved him because of his craftsmanship. Some people even commissioned instruments, at the age of 16.

It was surprising how happy & how fast he grew in his passion/hobby as soon as the environment changed from making fun of him to respecting the craft. There was only one school in the entire country that could give him that and by a coincidence he stumbled upon this, and to this day, almost 20 years later, enjoys that passion in the small community he found :)

Always wholesome whatever field, to see these people flourish rather than giving up their passion for conformity!

> crypto virtual card

The cards are not “crypto” — they are very much ordinary virtual (or even physical) visa/mastercard ones.

You use p2p crypto to top-up them with real dollars from RUB.

It takes around 5 minutes to get a virtual Visa card. And if you want to get a physical one (for traveling), there are a lot of countries (even NATO ones) where you can get one with no problem at all.

> any serious business that doesn't take crypto.

Again, you’re not paying crypto. You use ordinary cards to pay in any store that you like.
Categorizing useful arguments into boxes with labels like "Ted K" is over-simplification. Worldview is not about chains of arguments, but directed acyclic graphs of arguments. You can even have exactly the same starting assumptions, but arrive at a totally different branch.

It all depends on how well you connect the dots on your way.
This, uhhh, this seems like a good argument against using an absolute ranking system. Suppose you want to eat and have money. If you rank eating first, you'd be willing to pay a million dollars for a can of tuna. If you rank money first, you'd be willing to starve to death so long as someone offered you a single dollar.
Its pocket money untill other european countries follow.
> Internal gear hub + belt drive seems like a solid combo for reliability

It is. But make sure you get a solid internal gear hub because they're not all made the same. Shimano has an indestructible five gear model, the higher the number of gears the less torque the hub can deal with. Rohloff is beautiful but I think it is overpriced for what it offers (that's a personal opinion, others may well disagree). B-brands or anything open or chain based is going to be a lot less reliable.

It’s not the same thing because Unicode is the only gatekeeper for emoji adoption. You can’t use an emoji that isn’t yet in the standard and deployed by the OS vendors. Whereas OED only adds words that have substantial real world usage.

Re: monochrome emoji rendering — an impossible proposition if you need to render any user-generated text. People simply can’t understand that their emoji might look different than when they picked it on their iPhone keyboard. The supposed rendering latitude on emojis is completely imaginary; in practice you need to get an emoji set that’s as close as possible to Apple’s without infringing on their design copyrights.
It's not third-party, it's a flatpak built by Mozilla and pushed by them to Flathub.
My main problem with emoji is that they look different everywhere. For example "big grin" looks like that on native Android, but looks like an angry face on other platforms. Quite a difference in meaning.

Another problem is that some emojis are horribly missing. For example during COVID it would have been nice to have a cotton swab thing.

:face-palm:
That’s nice, but the fact that banking and streaming apps tend to deny service on rooted devices remains a major issue.
> fines are not deductible in Norway.

If a company tried I think it should be viewed as contempt of court. A company trying to get money back for which it was fined would basically be them thumbing their nose at the fine. Maybe that is why fines are not deductible.
Hmm, fair enough, I guess I should have clarified that I was talking about the official "manga guide" series

That's an interesting development. I can't fathom how TSMC would've let Infineon+NXP into the deal without some level of positive, or negative coercion.

For Germany, it's an insurance against TSMC possibly bailing out in the future.

The 22nm node is also a very strange choice. It's absolutely not a thing which most of German industry needs, which are microcontroller, high voltage, mixed signal, niche memory, and ASIC friendly nodes.

The author fails in imagination, expecting that future computer intelligence needs to follow the path of human intelligence, where it can’t be immediately snapshotted, reset, rebirths, or fed new information.

Two myopic thoughts that reach further than the article’s premise.

Author here. I chose tkinter because it's included in Python, or so I thought. I wanted to minimize the complexity of installation.

The README lists alternatives and why I find them insufficient. Okular allows free-hand annotations, but not saving those for later use. It allows inserting custom saved stamps, but these will not be visible in other PDF readers.

- answer with hallucination-- 'try X' and citations

- sorry, that doesnt work

- oh, there must have been a mistake in the source material! please try Y

- works, thanks

I looked at the original source material, and the thing it hallucinated wasn't there at all :'). Nice try passing the buck GPT old buddy!

Show HN: I Made Omegle Clone
Hello HN,

I really like the concept of having conversations with random individuals through video chats. Recently, I've also been learning about WebRTC and decided to create a website similar to Omegle on my own.

This project has been a great way for me to understand WebRTC better, and I believe it could inspire others who are interested in learning too.

If you're curious, you can check out the project on GitHub through this link:

Thanks!
Can you do SSH tunneling? That would be transparent to any other tooling.
> A short sentence does this description just as good and is much less ambiguous

so you're now dictating what can be said, rather than designing a system for which _anything_ that could be said is possible?

Because if that trade partner unilaterally shuts off trade with you due to a dispute or war, then you are hosed. They can probably find other buyers for their steel, but you will have to pay a lot more, if you can find enough at all.
you do not understand the what it means to be 'mid to far left' if you think that it means 'socially liberal.'

leftist = anti-capitalist, social programs, unions, worker-coops, etc.

i hate to break it to you, but socially liberal is the mainstream centrist opinion now. Gay marriage has 70+% support, trans rights and abortion are both over 50%, my backwater suburb turned up in huge numbers for Black Lives Matter, etc.

I use Edge sometimes, I like the tabs on the side and the PDF reader supports annotating the PDFs with text and drawing which is a great feature and keeps me using it for reading.

Wonder if the Taiwanese govt at some point will step in and block these onshoring measures as a matter of national security.

If countries are less reliant on manufacturing within Taiwan, its one less reason to stand up to Beijing's one China principle.
BusinessInsider is ruining the internet.

AI is just accelerating the race to spam cycle of the Internet.

The good news about the Internet is that it’s diverse and resilient so I can just ignore the parts I don’t like and focus on the parts that I like. I don’t need to connect to every server.

I just need a search service that overlays my filter and site weights so it ignores all the crap as well. I think the money for this is hard because the crappiest sites need to advertise the most, so a google-style model won’t want to apply my quality ranking filters (that I select or select from people I trust).

Question for the smart HN community:

If it's proven that LK-99 is NOT a superconductor, will still have any "real use"? Or it's going to be completely worthless. Is it "dihcotomic"? Either it's a superconductor and it's helpful for humanity, or it's not and it's completely worthless. Or being "enough" good of a conductor might have applications as well?

Thanks!
They don't do that

"private keys are randomly generated, completely independent of any biometric information, and each other."

from their docs
If LK-99 turns out to be a hoax, would it be the one with the biggest media attention ever?
> I don't think this is protectionism, but rather that EU companies fare better than US companies in environments with historically strong privacy laws, precisely because they are subject to these regulations from day 1.

Here is a quote from an MEP who helped design the EU DMA on deciding who counts as a gatekeeper:

"Let’s focus first on the biggest problems, on the biggest bottlenecks. Let’s go down the line—one, two, three, four, five—and maybe six with Alibaba. But let’s not start with number seven to include a European gatekeeper just to please Biden.”

It is hard for me to read that as suggesting anything but strongly protectionist motivations.

> A ToS is a contract, and contracts can violate the law. Nothing surprising here.

I don't disagree, merely with the suggestion that the regulatory framework the EU has set up, which is still actively being worked out in a patchwork of procedural decisions up until literally today, is as clear-cut as the US prohibition on bribery in the FCPA.
You don’t see how that would immediately produce blowback? Is Congress going to say “oh shucks” and authorise another weapons deal? Or might they redirect those dollars domestically while reducing patrols of the Taiwan Straits?
Was fun while it lasted! Will be interesting watching the internal story of the original lab unfold as it all becomes public eventually.
What I mean is that I find the idea of giving users the impression that they are giving ip data for something else (For social network use) but using that data for ad targeting is wrong. And I agree with the GDPR (non-french interpretation) that services should not be conditioned on that use of their data. And I STILL don't think it's free ridership. They can show ads all they want. But they can't target them using data they didn't agree to. What it all comes down to is I don't think people should be ALLOWED to make the transaction of service-for-targeting, at all.
This reminds me of the time the VP of engineering wanted to “just open telnet up” to solve a short term problem (this was a while ago) so I showed him the firewall logs of all the probes to the telnet port. Then we went down the rabbit hole … “what else is being probed”, “how do we report these people”, “block all those IP addresses”, etc. etc.

Logging can be useful AND a rabbit hole. If you have the horsepower to manage the firehose, knock yourself out.
Detroit is not a simple situation, many factors aside from NAFTA have resulted in its decline.

Parody of course... but highlights the complexities of trade arrangements as well as the absurdity of simply writing off a trade agreement as only harmful to the poorer entity.
Then you should see the Last Supper, it's nearly 30 feet wide (yes, it's a mural). Be warned though, what you see is mostly preservation work now, Leonardo used paint that has poor aging properties.

I've been to many of the top museums of the world now, esp. after traveling through Europe this summer, and my conclusion is I don't understand what makes something a masterpiece. I get that folks like Leonardo and Rembrandt have an incredible sense for light/shadow and it shows, but most of the things that truly impressed me were from little known Enlightenment period artists.

Did you know what Van Gogh thought of The Starry Night, his top masterwork? Nothing. He referred to it in a letter to his brother as being in a pile of paintings of no consequence and didn't even bother spending the money to ship it for evaluation. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is a wonderful experience if you happen to be there... as an artist, he seemed to have great insight as to where he wanted to go and how he compared to his contemporaries. He would have surely felt the world had gone mad for elevating a failed experiment of his to such heights, but there it is.
I believe you that the efficiency argument played a role when they decided to reduce the life expectancy of the light bulbs. The cartel doing 'cartel-things' aside, the 1000h-limit probably was a good decision even though I think that they ultimately did not do it for the consumer.

Is there a name for this annoying trend of sprinkling project descriptions with the same repetitive set of evocative and inherently subjective adjectives like “blazingly fast”, “awesome”, “delightful”, and “beautiful”? My impression is that this only has become common in recent years.
Uhhhhh, as trustworthy as the source may or may not be (I have no idea who controls that account), I feel like such strong statements should directly reference strong evidence. I don't see any evidence supplied, only a very strong statement:

With a great deal of sadness, we now believe that the game is over. LK99 is NOT a superconductor, not even at room temperatures (or at very low temperatures). It is a very highly resistive poor quality material. Period. No point in fighting with the truth. Data have spoken.

What data?????
