> There is no way for people to know if products will still work in 2-5 years if it depends on some server staying up.

If customers want it, there is a way: use contract law to commit the manufacturer.

That's already the norm for enterprise grade equipment. Companies often pay more for their hardware to get guaranteed long term support.

So the market is willing and able to provide this kind of service, when people vote with their wallets.

The free market hasn't provided me with a flying car either. But that doesn't mean the market has failed. And I don't think using bureaucracy to ban any company that doesn't want to sell me a flying car would be an improvement on the status quo.

(To be more explicit: many people, including me, think a flying car would be fun. But we don't want it badly enough to be willing to pay what it would take. And that's why suppliers only offer normal cars, not the flying kind.)

Ordering the 25 or whatever rolls of slide film and processing envelopes was sort of a ritual for me before a big trip. The last time was in 2006. It was around the time that Kodak was winding down its processing operation and about half the rolls disappeared into the ether somewhere.As I recall, Kodak couldn't find them but they eventually appeared in the mail a couple months later. A batch of to-be-processed film presumably got misplaced somewhere in the course of transferring facilities.
Hey HN, Reviewpad co-founder here. Happy to answer any questions about this launch - excited to hear your feedback about it!
Why would you fight this fight instead of just using Safari / Firefox?
Unit tests are mostly for hitting branching logic within your prodedure/method/function (and private ones in your codebase that it calls but can't be tested independently, e.g. they're private), and so are naturally paired with code coverage. If your percent coverage is high and someone changes the implementation, a drop in coverage and/or failure of one or more unit tests can signal that some assumptions about the behavior may need additional consideration.

End-to-end testing is important too, but it may be difficult to ferret out tricky bugs if unit tests and coverage for your modules (or whatever your lang/kit calls them) don't tell their own story about what code is being exercised and how.
Of course they do! Mostly through libcurl. For example, every single PHP http-related library/framework uses libcurl. Many others too.
This is a great point. What are your thoughts on requiring a switch on all IoT devices so the consumer can flip a switch and their "smart Widget" just becomes a "widget"? This would be a nice for both security perspective and a consumer perspective.

Is the integration of root zfs on linux complicated? I saw some info-graphic and it looked like there were a lot of pieces to stitch it together. Is it fragile?

Regardless, I'm surprised your one-year with ZFS didn't convinced you that it's worthwhile to invest in its mastery. The filesystem will pay dividends for your entire compute life-time and not only save your data but hours of maintenance over that time.

Major downgrade moving away from it in my view.

On a side note, FreeBSD is great and worth investing in as well. I still have more to learn but the journey has been wonderful and I will not be using Linux in the next iteration of my home / lab server and hobby projects.

What about industrial IoT?

Even if a manufacturer publishes updates, the clients would likely not want to change anything, often.

If you have a plant with 1,000 units of gizmo-A and update them during a week-end and now 200 of them do not do the thing they used to do anymore... you have a big problem.

There is a genuine fear to update anything in many industries and I am not sure how this can be overcome.
Due to the cost of an MRI procedure, most insurers will require 6 weeks of PT/rehab efforts on an injury before covering the cost of an MRI.

I guess GP is attributing the cost of the MRI to the helium required to cool the magnet, but I'm not sure that's a big fraction of the amortized cost for a single procedure -- a reference would be good.
I can't file because I'm not based in the US, but I'd love to see smartphones, tablets and similar devices to be covered as part of IoT in general, as they share the most important of the characteristics - the manufacturer sells a device connected to the Internet.

There are multiple issues that I think need urgent regulatory attention, and the issue classes are valid for both "classic" IoT devices and phones:

1. Manufacturers often do not state anything about support: availability of spare parts, feature updates, security updates. Even those that do, like Google's Pixel lineup, have ridiculously short times, and "enterprise" devices like my Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3 that's 2.5 years old don't have spare screens available any more. I bought an "enterprise" device in the hope that it would have a better supply chain than consumer devices, but I was mistaken.

2. Many devices with batteries are sold without the ability to easily replace them or without officially sanctioned spare parts, which causes a risk of people running devices with swollen or otherwise damaged batteries, or devices living way shorter than they could be because batteries can and do simply lose capacity.

3. Many devices are completely locked down. This is particularly relevant for SSL root certificates whose expiry leads to devices being bricked, or for people who simply would like to enjoy the freedoms of the GPL and other FOSS licenses but can't because custom firmware can't be installed at all (due to Secure Boot) or permanently bricks features out of DRM concerns (e.g. Samsung Knox, Netflix, banking and many other apps that refuse to run on rooted or otherwise modified devices).

4. Many devices' BSPs (board support packages) are littered with ridiculously old forks of stuff like bootloaders, the Linux kernel or other userland software, and the chip/BSP vendors and manufacturers don't give a fuck about upstreaming their changes or code quality is so bad it cannot be reasonably upstreamed.

I think having to right click and select “open” is effectively hiding the option from the GUI, since the assumption would be that does the same thing as double clicking. The whole point of a GUI is to be discoverable, and that workaround is very much not obvious or discoverable. If you right clicked and it said “open regardless of security concerns“ or something like that, then maybe it would qualify. The original article says the option was hidden from the GUI, not that it’s impossible to do.
The 1981 manual for the 8051 contains numerous references to 12MHz.

http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/components/inte...

It was 12T clocked: even though the clock was 12MHz, it would only operate at 1MHz / 1MIPS, because it took 12-clock-ticks to even perform one addition.

IIRC, there was a standard crystal (11.0592 MHz crystal?? I forget exactly) for the communications at the time. So going just above 11 MHz (or really, just above 11.0592 MHz) was needed for reliable serial comms.

I don't think that data exists.

I grew up in Ohio and go back several times a year. There has been no major change in incidents. Winter is a bit warmer now, and there is more rain/freezing rain than there used to be (from days in the winter when it is too warm for snow). It is becoming less likely that Lake Erie will freeze over, which means more lake effect snow later in the season.

But overall, it's not a state getting hit with massive droughts or natural disasters. Many states are like this.
Panic better using modern C++
I'm quite unsure of myself here and might be mistaken, but there's also the chomskyist argument that much of the structure of human language is derived from the structure of our brain itself. Our brain is flexible enough to generate many types of human language, but different species could have entirely different structures that might be impossible to learn as a human. A machine translation layer -- LLMs or such -- could be designed around this flaw, and will likely be our best bet.
Assange was never charged with anything in Sweden. Had prosecutors had evidence of a crime I expect he would have laid charges (and not dropped the case on two different occasions before the statute of limitations expired, with a huge number of procedural irregularities in-between), and he even could have been tried in absentia while he was in political asylum.

Sure, so he tends to side with traditional power structures over rights and liberties. For instance:

* He wants to institute a test and ban people from voting under the age of 25 who don't pass the test. This favors the institution who creates the test over the individual. His policy position here is to take away voting rights and empower institutions. [0]

* He is anti-choice for abortion. Generally this is seen as an anti-individualist stance as it favors institutional religious authority over individual choice. He favors state bans and says he would not implement a federal ban. [1]

* He opposes secularism saying:

> "When you abandon religion, you don’t lose the need for God. You just start worshiping new gods instead. The left embraces secular religions: wokeism, Covidism, climateism. The right flocks to Christ-like human saviors, only to be disappointed every time. It’s happening yet again. [..] The need to believe in something higher is a feature of the human condition, a thing that distinguishes us from animals. We’re better off recognizing it." [2]

Now he is welcome to his opinion, but this opinion speaks to how he thinks. That people need something over them, that if you don't don't give them some sort of false idol, they invent their own. This is Plato's Noble lie [3] and fundamentally anti-individualist. That the meaning of someone's life only matters if it comes from an authority.

I call this conservative atheism, that the actual existence of God is immaterial, what is important is the belief in some great chain of being, with authorities above individuals. I have more respect for conservatives who actually believe in a God (or Gods) than atheist conservatives who see the propagation of a lie about a sky-tyrant as required for their political program. It's the intellectual dishonesty of a cult leader.

While many people who are described as Woke would be scandalized to be called an individualist, at its core the conservative opposition to Wokism is comes an opposition to individualism and individualism is the basis of liberty.

Sorry to hear that story. My partner gets frustrated by Instacart mistakes and I try to remind her that many of the people doing that job probably have low comprehension and planning skills or they would be doing something else. (Certainly not all though, we've had amazing drivers too). They also probably grew up with different food habits and don't see why a certain substitution doesn't make sense. Sometimes the results is humorous, but it is still annoying when you _already spoke on the phone about it_ or asked to refund instead of replace. Or as it relates to the article, when they knock at the door and wait instead of just dropping it on the stoop as requested.

The problem is that one often relies on Instacart when sick or disabled and the tolerance for mistakes and bad interactions is lowest. Perhaps there is an opportunity for something like vocational nursing companies to offer more skilled shoppers at a premium price...

It is insane to me that people think otherwise.

How callous can you be to bring a life into the world and think "i'm just gonna wing it" in this day and age. The kid didn't ask to be brought here, it is 100% under the responsibility and care of whoever decided to have it.
I love how when the consumer class talks about the service class, they always allude to the needs of the elderly and disabled population, and the immediately go into a story about their needs that are supposed to sound elderly or disabled-adjacent, but its a scenario that is certainly not the tear jerker you were expecting like someone stuck in a meeting that doesn't have access to a kitchen and wants chicken rice and broccoli. What you have deliberately neglected to mention is that there is a desk at the first floor of the building where the food can be left for you to come downstairs and get after your meeting. It is a luxury service that you desire, not an essential service that satisfies the needs of the disabled and the senior, you are just piggybacking on their tears to make yourself feel better.

"The unfortunate truth is that we have so heavily subsidized and centralized food production that anyone focusing on biodiversity, sustainability, or even animal welfare can compete economically."

...Compete... With what? I don't understand what you're saying.

Farms can't compete with farms?

To me it seems such a statement's validity would vary wildly because the value of land relative to intentions for agriculture or conservation, is dependent on geography.

It's not as though all areas receive the same subsidies or even need them. Nor do we know what subsidies or amounts are even being discussed. The whole statement just seems vague and undefined to me.

Say we're discussing private real estate in the context of agriculture & ecology-- Focusing on biodiversity, for example, has a much different ROI and perspective on that ROI, on the boundaries of a national park vs in a suburban neighborhood.
Firefox has containers which is vastly superior.
>Assange and WikiLeaks uncovered legitimate war crimes or inacceptable behaviour by the USA. There is no denying that.

There is not a single newsworthy event uncovered by Assange that wasn't covered in the "lame stream" media prior to wikileaks.

The coverage just wasn't sexy, with -leaks appended to it.

Collateral Murder set the tone for Assange. People think he uncovered the event. This is incorrect. It was widely covered in the press prior to wikileaks, and the press didn't release a deceptively-edited video to stir up sexy, sexy, sexiness.

There's more strikes against Assange, including lying about Sunshine Press being a non-profit, using John Young (who Assange wishes he was) to the point that Young started wikileaking wikileaks, not providing Wau Holland with proper accounting so Wau Holland couldn't release the audits they promised, and hanging their sources out to dry.

But for me the pinnacle of his hypocrisy and scumminess was his deal with Russian state-controlled media for a television news show, starring him. (Which everyone seems to have forgotten about?)

He's one of the Republican FCC Commissioners, so yes, you can safely assume he's using the role primarily to work against most Americans' interests in favor of corporate executives, just as Pai did. However, I don't see that obviously being the case in this particular discussion, so I think it's OK to stay on topic.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying. The cycle you're talking about is not an infinite process, nor is it guaranteed that people will flock somewhere just because there is more housing, because it is also not guaranteed that job opportunities increase due to lowered housing. You have your causality incorrect there.

It was about the radio and being able to modify the radio firmware.

As many modifications would void the FCC certifications of the device, due to changed parameters (more power, disabled anti-interface mitigations, out-of-band channels, etc.).
This was avoided by making the radio firmware separate blobs, but there was a real danger of the whole device having to have signed firmware.
Sounds like you are making an argument based on externalities.

That's fine. But economic theory also gives you standard answers for externalities:

Don't ban the behaviour you dislike. Either let people sort it out themselves (like the Coase Theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coase_theorem describes), or at most tax the offending behaviour.

"The three companies, now also joined by Instacart and Postmates, funded a ballot initiative, Proposition 22, to exempt both ridesharing and delivery companies from the AB 5 requirements, while also giving drivers some new protections, including minimum wage and per-mile expense reimbursement. Proposition 22 passed in November 2020 with 59% of the vote.[8][9]"

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Assembly_Bill_5_(20...

So the law has an exemption for the exact workers it was targeting.

Have you considered that, perhaps, virtually nobody wears it because the police will stop you on the beach and fine you for wearing it?? (As has actually happened, indicating that people do in fact wear it. And have been dramatically disincentivized form doing so.)

Also, "the people who might disagree with me probably don't actually exist" is the lowest form of argument, combining it with an unlawful activity is rhetorically ridiculous. You are saying, quite literally: "People haven't been free do this, and they (mostly) haven't done it, therefore they (all) don't want to do it, so we shouldn't let them be free to do it".

>If we're going to arbitrarily require a competence test for all voters under 25, then I say we should also mandate a competence test for all voters over age 65

Both those things sound good to me, though applying it universally to all ages would be preferred. And I wouldn't characterize it as 'arbitrary' necessarily- I think that if you let everyone vote without any pre-requisites at all your democratic process inevitably becomes a carnival sideshow, a shallow popularity contest where the win condition is to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Some baseline level of knowledge in the constituency would be a big improvement, even if we still have the unavoidable problem of 'who determines the pre-requisites' to grapple with.

Another important angle: the prevailing notion of taking "good air" for people with various ailments. This was an especially powerful lure for the southwest, with its drier climes.

My great-aunt's first husband developed TB, possibly connected with his service in the first World War. Several decades later he hitchhiked from New York to the VA hospital in Tucson for treatment and recuperation (he rallied but died soon after returning to NY). His entire family eventually relocated to Mesa for similar reasons - the daughter developed some sort of lung condition and they felt that the dry air in the Southwest would help.
