I have long wondered why battery swapping is a no-go. Just like with a propane tank (e.g. for backyard grilling) I just take the empty to a store and swap it for a full. I don’t wait for them to fill it.

My guess is that for engineering reasons this is a no-go because the carmaker needs to be able to cram battery into odd nooks and crannies of the car, so it isn’t practical to make them interchangeable. I did once hear of an idea to have ships use electric while in port, and have swappable batteries for this - but on a ship space is hardly a limiting factor.

I know nothing about this though.
The indemnification for IP is a standard term that exists in all SaaS terms. What it's saying is "if you upload copyrighted/infringing material to our service and someone sues us because of it, you have to pay our legal costs since we had nothing to do with it".

This is a pretty reasonable thing, you're the one who uploaded the material, you're responsible for it, especially since zoom isn't checking/filtering what you upload/share.
The question I have is, what if my use during the call could be considered Fair Use in the context and with whatever intention I used it, but what if Zoom then uses it for some other purpose and in some other context that is not Fair Use, have I now taken on the burden of being responsible for however Zoom has chosen to use the content?

So, perhaps, I would have been fine using it under the previous terms, but under the new terms, I need to be aware the Zoom may, at any point in the future, utilize it for some other, undisclosed, purpose there's no way that I can use it.

How can anyone use Zoom at this point, considering the liability they are foisting onto their customers?
The authors might damage it in transit, either accidentally or for nefarious purpose. No one knows enough to confidently say "this method of handling won't affect future measurements" because no one knows for certain what is going on here.
> In that respect it is beating your argument on all counts.

Which, pray tell, do you believe my argument is?
I really appreciate this thoughtful and open minded response.
Yup. Standard S-curve. Demand is going to pick up fast and then gradually taper off.

The more EV cars that people are surrounded by, the more likely they're going to buy an EV car.

I wouldn't be surprised if 3 out of 4 new cars sold within 10 years are EV.

When news outlets cut budgets, sites like Twitter/Threads/FB are the only sources they can afford. Whereas before, they might get some time/money to do some real investigation, now they have to submit articles to get paid, and need to write articles on the cheap so they make out ahead.

There are some outlets, like The Intercept, that are still doing great investigative work, but they get drowned out among the other options, which isn't surprising when so few people own so much of the most popular new outlets.
Ads and Search use the data from maps to make up the difference.

Even just the ability of search to serve local seeking queries is a huge defensive moat, but the marginal revenue from having a model of the world is worth it.

It's not directly a "how to survive SV without becoming Zuckerberg" but it's worth a read.

"Good" CEOs exist in plenty, but since they're "good" they don't keep scrambling to the top; they're usually content to get their business to a sustainable level and let growth take care of itself; some even go so far as to limit growth as they fear getting to big would ruin what they have.
I'm not the commenter you're replying to, but Google Maps was the sole reason I changed from a feature phone to a smart phone. For people who travel a lot, it's hard to compare life before and after digital maps. They are extremely useful.
io_uring was blocked by the default Docker seccomp profile until somewhat recently. The primary issue with io_uring is that there is no mechanism to apply seccomp-like rules.

You should use user namespaces to contain untrusted code, you absolutely should not enable CLONE_NEWUSER inside a container. I was referring to the former, you're talking about the latter.
I hate mobile app dev, but Flutter makes it fun. It's very quick to iterate with real-time hot rebuiling of widgets, and the built-in widget set is flexible and robust.

I'd be wary of using it for a really large project though, because of a) Dart and b) Google so it might die in the future. It also changes a lot, so be prepared for dev time if you're only updating the app every year or so.

Wouldn't it have to be "if all sites are salting and hashing passwords correctly "? I suspect most "differentiation algorithms that are trivially runnable in your head" would be easily cracked with a couple examples.
It sounds more sinister to me.

It seems that Zoom expects you not to use IP material on Zoom and if you do, you are the one to blame. Now that Zoom is harvesting everyone's content, video and transcripts, things will get very, very interesting.

So if you discuss/use company IP on a zoom call, Zoom's future AI can reproduce it freely.

I think locking use of a language into particular editors is a step several decades backward into Borland-land. I'm not at all confident that "just stop writing types in source code because the magic editor will show them anyway" is a better posture than "just have the magic editor auto-fill the types".
I’m curious to see if Baldur gate avoids this. It’s basically impossible imo. Act 2 is always Act 2.

Yeah I'm "lucky" to be an Eastern European and have grown up with ZX Spectrum clones not any game consoles. None of my great games seem to have endured as brands. Although I do keep some remakes and emulator images.

Nintendo... I bought the mini SNES when they put it out. It was my first Nintendo product. Tried the games. Decided I'm too old for it. Although it's probably that I can't get used to that controller. Finished Bloodstained Ritual of the Night - which is a metroidvania - just fine on a PS4 controller with joysticks.

To drift further off topic, this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumo_(video_game) is a modern game done in the spirit of the great Spectrum isometric games.

I'm surprised how performant the home page is on my mediocre machine. Most dynamic pages perform much worse.
To be honest, I think that the method described in TFA is overkill and unnecessarily limiting. I would instead recommend simply writing your passwords down manually and keeping them (unlabelled) in a safe place. That is, unless there are specific reasons not to do so such as you cannot trust your live-in partner or housemates, or your threat model honestly includes a targeted burglary to your home.

As long as you write down your passwords without the account name, without the title "Passwords", and ideally without even explicitly referencing what service they are the passwords for (as long as you don't need to keep track of too many of them), you are perfectly fine. And even of you do need to clarify which one is Google, which one is AWS, which one is banking, you can always come up with personal mnemonics that only you would understand how they relate to each account (e.g. "The one with the hug from Paul", "Green beans", "The one that tried to get away", etc.).

A burglar will almost certainly not even bother taking a bit of paper or notebook with random gibberish, and even if they do they won't have the slightest inclination to try to hack into your accounts (which accounts? they are not in the notebook!).

And if you're still worried about this hypothetical scenario, just agree with yourself to "salt" every password you write down by concatenating for instance 3 irrelevant random characters (or words, if using passphrases) on one end. If somebody breaking into your home, stealing your notebook, finding your Google account handle, and trying every single one of the j39yb1!L8q#4$1-like strings they found in it, and trying every version after removing the first/last n characters is a more realistic scenario than losing access to your digitally-stores passwords you live a much more exiciting life than most HN commenters.
yeah that's one of my biggest concerns; it has to fit into smaller kids pockets and holdable. I'll look into a cheap Nokia to get started.
I think thats reasonable. Mission aside, this is only going to work if you get solid PRs that are easy to merge. Even with no cost if no merge, there is still a high opportunity cost if your team reviews a PR and doesn't merge it.

Which is why we actively monitor review cycles as our biggest metric internally to make sure quality is solid across all active repos.
Firefox Android with uBO here, and I got it. It's not an ad, technically, it's labeled "Watch More From Fast Company".
I've sometimes noticed friends navigating (on foot) in a residential area staring at their phone until the blue dot is on the turn they need to make.

I would usually look at the map briefly, see "we need Farm Lane, should be 4th on the right" and then look at the street name signs. In a non-residential area I'll often do this on foot, but if I'm cycling I'm more likely to think "Right after the paint shop" or similar.
Ah OK, that facet of it makes total sense to me. I should be responsible for copyrighted material I show during my call, Zoom should be responsible if they take data from that call and make some machine learning thing that later infringes copyright.
The sad state behind KaiOS is that the dev docs are basically useless.

There is this guy who maintains bananahackers.net which was a google page for most of the time with all kinds of instructions to get debugging other webapps going, but if you have a device without the GSM code unlock support then it's kind of useless.

The Firefox debugging support from old ESR versions (pre ~42 versions) are super outdated and don't work anymore if the rest of the system is updated, because they heavily rely on the android-tools, so making them work with a snapshot of an 8 years outdated linux distro is also very painful.

I had a nokia 800 tough for a while, and I was having a gaia fork which you could install on it, together with the system apps.

Backups of it still there in case anyone is interested to reboot a fork, I gave up fighting against the DMCA bullshit takedown requests coming from everywhere, because it's just not worth my time anymore.

WhatsApp support was kind of weird because they built a custom web client which somehow worked, but not inside Europe and only globally (e.g. when traveling abroad), so I'd assume there was some kind of geo-regional deal with them being allowed to support KaiOS while maintaining their own web app for it.

Oh, before I forget it: most unlock procedures rely on the Android kernel rooting technique that has a MediaTek chipset, because the SDK app and root backdoor was leaked a while back. So if you plan on developing anything, you should choose a MediaTek chipset which is a little older (pre-2018 ish).

Note that all the FirefoxOS based WebIDE-reliant workflows require a Mozilla Firefox from before the Certificate Authority fuckup in 2020 when they bricked _all_ extensions irreversibly, including the ADB helper extension which you have to fork and modify to get it to run again. This also means that any time your system is having a date time set to post 2020, you're done and nothing works again. I wrote them together on the blog, not gonna link it though because of DMCA bots.

As feasible alternatives there's a bunch of other projects which started using WebKit, Servo and others; but either are dead by now or are unmaintained. I'm gonna link them here just in case you're interested in those.

I did my own fork called RetroKit a while back, with a different focus on Privacy; which was coupled on my Pinephone with an ArchLinuxARM kernel and autostarted to host the webapp/"app screen" of my pentesting tools. This was done using a simple systemd service that autostarts the web service for controls and the UI as a fullscreen GUI window process with Restart=always.

> VSC already has so much built into it; and all this conversation about not taking your hands away from the home row is BS.

VSC is a very good tool. And if someone needs to be productive right away, it's easy to get him going. Vim has a steeper learning curve, but it is easy to make it your own, perfectly suited to you and your projects. As you said, it's not one or another. I use VSC now and then, but going back to my Vim setup is always a delight.

The arguments about the home row are valid. With VIM, text on the screen become an extension of your thinking. And your finger and the keyboard are just the medium that connects both. How I do an action is how I think about doing it. Moving around and editing text has the same cognitive load as entering new text. The things that require me to go away from the home row are unusual operations that also require my full focus and attention.
But with transformer models it would probably be trivial to predict the top 10 next words if your passphrase is grammatically correct. Interesting password cracker idea …
One of the huge sells of ShadowPlay is that it doesn't place extra burden on Windows to capture the screen every frame, instead it directly captures the actual framebuffer (and encodes the frames) directly on the GPU, without having to switch or bottleneck any rendering code paths. It wouldn't surprise me if people who swear by ShadowPlay can tell the performance difference compared to software screen capture.

Basically it aims to replace the need to for an additional out-of-band capture card (those can get very expensive, especially if you want 4k60).
"Axilla" in Portuguese means "armpit" (it's spelt "axila"). I like the name more because of this. Congrats on the launch! As a developer who's been working a lot with TypeScript and LLMs, I'll definitely take a look.
This is my main rub, I live in one of these situations (like I'm sure a huge percentage of Americans do), and there's zero way I could own an EV. Are we all supposed to run the charging plug across the sidewalk? We've had kids mess with cars previously, undeterred by security cameras, so now we have to worry about them unplugging our cars in the middle of the night too?

I'm strongly in support of alternatives to ICE cars, but the idea of auto makers being able to sell only EVs in America by 2030 or whatever is an absolute farce.
This is really great, actionable, sensible, advice for folks who write on the internet. It agrees with my experiences, too.

On the other hand, it's sad that the culture we have built on the internet forces talented people like Julia to censor themselves and narrow the scope of their writing.

> So I have a weird catalog in my head of things not to mention if I don’t want to start the same discussion about that thing for the 50th time.

Somehow we've built a culture where its socially acceptable, and even rewarded, to behave online in ways that would never be acceptable in other social settings. The exact flavors of that on HN, Slashdot, Twitter, Tumblr, etc are different, but the core issue is the same everywhere.
It might have been an accident. Super easy to flag on mobile. When I look at flagged submissions in my profile it's a bunch of stuff I didn't intend to flag. UI needs a confirm popup for flagging IMO.

I am not a security expert. But this method I think I could teach my aging parents. Password managers don't work with them, too confusing. Just a simple OAUTH dialog causes a 30 minute phone call with them.

> In urban areas, most people park on the streets

If you look at Paris or Montréal, they have L2 chargers on the streets. Easy solution for that problem, they’re just 240v/32A stations, you don’t need fancy hardware for that.

> That’s setting aside the problem than many power grids can’t handle that many cars plugged in at once.

People overestimate how much they drive, on average you’re not going to see a load that big, 13500 miles a year is 36 miles a day, or 9kwh in an efficient car, 18kwh in a bloated F-150 lightning. We might need financial incentives to charge cars at different times, sure.

I think she's reasonably questioning to what degree that lack of popularity was constructed by the media hammering certain narratives (like the Bernie Bros narrative) that were later shown to be mostly false.

The point of her article is that narratives in the online world can be generated by a tiny number of people, but can then seem to represent a majority view, come to shape the majority view and create self-fulfilling prophecies.

And is any Japanese person in any doubt of what their food will look like once served, anyway?
It totally stops being a reasonable thing when the content is used to train AI. I don't think you can discuss/use company's IP anymore on a Zoom call. Or at least if you do, zoom's AI will be able to reproduce it and it will be YOUR fault.

It might be a standard term, but this is still a big reason not to use Zoom if you expect that any copyrighted or NDA'ed material will be shared.

Zoom says they might use this data to train their AI. If the AI produces a close-enough copy of copyrighted material or if it spews out company secrets, someone _will_ sue Zoom for this.
I think we can see to Hacktoberfest as a comparison to this "let external junior devs to deal with backlog" idea. And this project gives the same fear and worries of that "chase for the cheapest PR to get my reward"-logic as that which Hacktoberfest encourages.

While GitStart pays their developers, that alone could encourage better habits, I fear it could also enable this chasing reward mentality harder, setting the juniors up for failure, as well as frustrating the customer with having to deny and review multiple low-quailty PRs.

How is this avoided? This seems heavily at risk to cause more headache than help.
"All crypto is 100% scam" is an exaggeration. There are legit use cases - but you've no way of ever being sure - and due to lack of regulation, you don't get any protection either. And there's about enough scam going on, that might just as well be 100% scam - but it's not.

PayPal is not above profiting from scams. They are treating buyers pretty well, but there's quite some horror stories out there on the seller side of things. There's also a wave of Fraud on the platform, a long list of controversies and some class action lawsuits as well.

So in summary: crypto is not 100% scam (but maybe 99%?) and PayPal launching a StableCoin does not mean that this new coin is not gonna be used in/for any scams.
