The amount of expertise that went into this 1 month project is crazy and it's all really cool and well put together.

I don't comprehend how you made no mistakes on the journey after drafting the PCBs and writing drivers. From my POV as a software developer, C has so many pitfalls that it is incomprehensible to me that things will Just Work, especially in the context of something that is meant to run for a very long time and not be "restarted."

Why do sensor things at all? What is the ROI for the person who needs that stuff? I mean this in no derogatory sense, I really admire this work.

But the academics who need something something hardware are either so rich they use something commercial / the paid core or so poor they'll use someone else's refuse or a grad student to do it 10x worse & 10x slower for free. Lab equipment, sensors, whatever.

If it's for an industrial purpose, the ultimate consumer for hardware 2 guys can make is the government, as far as the eye can see. Like the people who have a business stake in e.g. the ocean ecosystem are fishermen, oil people, shippers, whatever, and they're only doing this because of a government regulation or threat thereof or whatever. I view government needs as worthwhile, they are a worthy customer, it's that the ROI is essentially imaginary, it's whatever the payer values government compliance and that can be infinitely large or small.

My background in this is very limited, I didn't take "How to Make," I don't know how to use anything in a fablab, but in an intellectually honest way, the audience for "polished, well working gizmo with bug-free firmware" is 1,000,000x larger when it's a coffee machine than any academic or industrial purpose. Why not make "the perfect espresso machine" or "the perfect bike" or whatever? There are $3m Kickstarters for coffee machines whose #1 actual obstacle to successful execution is writing firmware. There are e-bikes that are 10x expensive or 10x crappier because ultimately it's too challenging to make a single firmware and controller to make disparate commodity parts work together cohesively.

I am not at all raining on this parade, because this little blog post was so mind numbingly impressive; and I'm not saying there aren't 10,000 people toiling on dead-on-arrival consumer hardware, be it Oculus peripherals or connected emotive robots or whole divisions at Google. My question is: why? Why not, with your skills, make a thing and fucking sell it?

Our kids are ages 5-8, and we limit them to 1 hour per day of screen. When not on a screen, our kids play with toys, draw pictures, draw/write stories, read books, make stuff out of garbage (cardboard, cans, bottles, etc), make mud pies in the backyard, and so on.
11,9,5 year olds.

The 11 year old is addicted to his phone/switch. But he constantly plays with friends so when we block it he ends up being somewhat isolated. Seems like a can’t win situation but he is also pretty active with sports and does great in school.

9 year old doesn’t have restrictions but seems to get sick of it after an hour most days (more on weekends). She only games with her brother usually watches YouTube.

5 year old gets 1-2 hours of tv time a day. Usually because she wakes up first and turns the tv on herself, and then right after daycare while one od us is preparing food.

It’s really challenging. The younger ones get jealous of the older one if he gets more screen time. The older one is very social and suffers when he’s isolated from his friends when we turn off his screens.
10 y/o - No phone, tablet, computer of any type. (Combination of Reggio Emilia and Montessori schooling, so almost no technology at school either.)

We're right on the cusp of giving her a laptop w/ some flavor of desktop Linux and LibreOffice. She has expressed interest in typing versus hand-writing schoolwork. I'm also considering giving her an offline copy of Wikipedia, and perhaps a typing drill app. Edit: No network access, though. Strictly an offline machine.

She has sent text messages to me with her mother's phone a few times and had a lot of fun. I wish she had a phone for emergency calls and perhaps text messages only with specified contacts. (There are times I find myself wishing I could email or text her... >smile<) Her mother and I are Apple phone users, albeit w/o iCloud accounts and minimal interaction w/ the Apple "mothership". I wish their parental controls didn't require using iCloud.

Edit: Her mother and I already had a "no phones in restaurants" policy before we had the child. Having her around has helped reinforce that since we didn't want to be rude and effectively ignore her at restaurants. (Although once she learned to read she'd just read her book and ignore us. >smile<)
Thousands of octopodes, no?
HN is not the best place for informed front-end opinions these days. React is not even that hard of a thing to learn (hence why even non-devs pick up the basics in a bootcamp in a few weeks?). JSX is objectively superior to the templating systems of Django, PHP, and Rails. I'm sure half the half-baked objections aren't even benchmarking their projects with things like Lighthouse...
Wow, this is a blast from the past. Long story short, the original performer (Neustar) won the renewed contract, but everything went to hell and they got taken private by a PE firm. They sold off the entire registry unit to make some cash. GoDaddy had bid against Neustar for that contract in 2018, and lost (water cooler talk at the time was becasue the feds hated them), but won the war by purchasing a distressed asset.
Eh. I had a run that was a mix of cat5e and cat3, and it ran gigE just fine. About 50 ft cat5e, 10 feet cat3; it was in crowded conduit to an out building, no sense trying to pull something new, when it cost zero to try what was already there. And it worked, so great.
I think it is important to focus on portability and archivability of our online spaces.

Using today's technology, it is possible to allow exporting all content as basic file formats such as txt + zip.

In addition, PKI (public/private key infrastructure) allows us to decouple a user's private and public identities, meaning the public identity can now be portable between servers.

What does all this mean for the average user or community operator?

It means your community can be completely transparent, auditable, and PORTABLE, allowing any user to archive the whole thing and clone it to another server -- right away or years later.

I've been writing a framework for this type of system for several years now, and if you're curious, you know where to look.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
The flatness imo only lends itself particularly well to their dutch bikes, but nothing to do with whether a region has invested in their biking infrastructure. Plenty of places are flat, and plenty of those flat places are horrible car-infested hellscapes that are falling apart. There's nothing particular unique about the Netherlands.

Fwiw, I'm very much pro car-last infrastructure.
This might be a surprise to some, but the highly paid engineers who invented the internet did not have access to the internet when they were children. Correlation is not causation, and in this case I can't even imagine the causal link in your claim.

Also until extremely recently, almost no one saw adult material unless they found a magazine of utterly tame (by today's standards) printed nudity.
If you're using significantly in the statistical sense I can't answer without doing a deep dive, but from my reading of (admittedly) mouse models, it's more difficult to induce diseases unless a zinc deficiency is created first.
I use Android, and it has Family Link. Basically parents can (remote) control their kids' phone. No 3rd party app required.

You can set very granular things, like which apps they can open, for how long, and what permissions are allowed. For app installs, the parents can remote-approve it, or allow kids to download only free apps (not good idea).

You can see adjust the restrictions on the fly, like oh you've done your homework, I'll give you extra hour. You can see usage report.

My kids are still using it to watch youtube. So I'm not successful yet.
New England Colleges have bottled up that sentiment and sell it for $10k a month.

The trend I dislike is how everything looks like an airport coffee shop/sports bar. The New England colleges are now trying to look like airport to me.

I did no devices at all until kindergarten. I have a tv connected to Plex via appletv in my living area and would watch a few shows with them.

Gave unlimited books and magazines.

Elementary school- bought an iPad with screen time and “no devices upstairs” (all bedrooms were upstairs). 30 minutes on school days, 60 minutes on weekend. Wi-Fi rules to shut off at night. Pihole to block porn and YouTube.

Middle school got laptops with same controls. And a gaming pc in the living room.

No instagram until 13. This was hard because all other kids got at 10 or earlier. Am trying to push this to 16 with later children.

High school- same laptop, little more screen time and later Wi-Fi turnoffs.

Phones with data when they have jobs and can afford to pay directly.

Hard to tell if this “works.” Have done some tests of how much screen time and apps and behavior was very different for the worse with more screen time. Things like more arguments. Less time creating art or playing in person with friends with more screen time.
Got three kids. They all got a smartphone at 11. But a locked down iOS device initially. As trust and responsibility is built they get given more capability.

I am 100% against completely banning them from using it as it excludes them from important social situations and an anti-technology policy hurts them in the long run.

They're here to stay: be a responsible parent and help them use them safely. Reward what they do well, don't punish them up front.

Edit: my eldest is 2nd year at university now. Without the technology focused upbringing she would have the burden of learning that on top of the education. Now she zooms around on her iPad Pro / Apple Pencil as an extension of herself. No technology is a barrier to her.
It's being downvoted because the idea that taxes == theft is both well trod and not directly relevant to the article. Clearly governments do bad things, my view is that this article describes one such thing and civil forfeiture is another, but you (assuming you're American) get to vote on those things. In the US the IRS is authorized to make arrests and cary guns as part of their duty to investigate crimes related to tax avoidance with some parts having a special focus on the illegal drug trade. It's weird that conservative circles are turning something that has happened since 1919 into some weird new menace.

I do hope that Civil forfeiture in the United States is vastly reformed, but again not really related to the idea that taxes == theft
This is totally going to be my old man hobby.
Well this bill is not about facebook, but links posted anywhere on the internet. Google is also blocking Canadian news from search, news and other products. Sites like Reddit will follow if they cross $1B in revenue.
It highly depends on what you're doing (a road trip vs a grocery run vs hiking mountainous back country) but the first step is to do a sanity check of the route. It's very easy for many GPS apps to route people to the center of an airport for example (i.e. the middle of the runway) instead of the main terminal, and only recently have a few apps managed to do better about that. Other times you can just easily spot that it's not a great route by reviewing it for ten seconds.
This is in line with what I've heard about sodium in the diet, which is that it's not bad in itself, but in proportion to your potassium intake.

I'd guess most Americans are deficient in magnesium and potassium, especially anyone who exercises regularly. If you're a male athlete, your actual magnesium need for example is about 800mg, which is twice the RDA of 400mg, which you're probably also not meeting.

I've helped people cure their chronic anxiety by noticing that they ran for an hour most days, and were taking zero supplemental magnesium.
So basically a multi-person Zettelkasten? The idea with a Zettelkasten (zk for short) is that each note is a singular idea, concept, or argument that is all linked together. Arguments can link to their evidence, concepts can link to other related concepts, and so on.

It's not nerfed because the symbol is somehow "tainted" - it's nerfed because the actual content returned by a search is full of alt-right content that YT doesn't want to signal boost.

They don't want to signal boost it because it leads to news stories about how YT is a dangerous place and how the algorithm leads people into alt-right rabbitholes.
Well have you looked into Google Family Link? https://support.google.com/families/answer/7680868?sjid=9290...

Google offers you the ability to set up children's accounts with parental controls. I believe it offers some or all of this functionality. It appears that you actually need to access the child's account to view their history (doesn't seem different than an adult's in that respect) but you can definitely enact parental controls and whatnot. You can block or whitelist websites and apps for sure.

> English is not an easy language.

"ChatGPT, please translate my incoherent stream of consciousness into clear English"

then review its output like one would a rough draft, and repeat as needed.

As far as human languages go, yes English is at least B-tier difficulty. Not least of which due to having the largest working vocabulary on Earth. But for all of the problems that LLMs might have with object permanence and memory and such, I think it's pretty safe to say that GPT3+ has mastered both the commonly used vocabulary and even the most subtle turns of grammar in the English Language. Which is never going to not dumbfound me. O_O
> Why do the country's accountants need guns or bullets?

If you've actually inspected a reasonable subset of the multiple sources you found on this, you'd understand that these are purchases for their Criminal Investigations Division, a division with a narrow remit which has been armed for over a century.

The only reason why this is suddenly shocking news is because right-wing media has been increasingly hyping this up as some unprecedented and dangerous overreach since ~2020, cynically playing into the enduring paranoiac belief that govt stormtroopers are just around the corner (yet somehow never actually materializing). You're dancing to the tunes that your echo chambers choose for you.

Thing about corporate lawyers is. They'll never make a judgement call where they stick their neck out. And unless someone important is threatening them they're utterly lazy and unaccountable.
They are though in the Canadian system, a vote in PEI is worth almost 3 times more than in BC for example.

PEI: 4 MPs for 176,000 people. = 1 MP per 44000 people
BC: 42 MPs for 5.43 million people. = 1 MP per 129,000 people.
> I honestly do not know the best solution

In these cases, usually the simplest solution is best, because none are perfect and trying to "engineer" perfect in politics (and economics) is doomed since there is no objectivity.

1 person == 1 vote
No phones until 13 or 14.

Yet, I don't have the courage to make a peep when I see friends handing their phones to their kids so they'll let us talk at the restaurant.

In my day (back then) they'll send me to buy cigarettes or some other errand.
> Not every extension needs a business model. Many exist just because someone was passionate enough about a problem to come up with a solution and they were happy to share what works for them with others. Not everything has to be about getting rich. Many of the best things aren't.

True, but just as money can run out, so can passion. And everyone needs to make a living somehow.

Most of the big open source projects have corporate funding and engineers who are paid to work on them. I continue to be puzzled about how Raymond Hill, the developer of uBlock Origin, makes a living, and how he has time to continue to work on the extension. Does anyone know?

Note that even Hill's passion wanes. "The uBlock project official repository was transferred to Chris Aljoudi by original developer Raymond Hill in April 2015, due to frustration of dealing with requests." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin?#uBlock This is how uBlock became uBlock Origin, and Hill's trust in Aljoudi turned out to be misplaced. Open source is no savior.

More recently, Hill said this: "What would actually help is that people help to completely investigate existing issues instead of keep asking me to add yet more features. Turns out people willing to step in the code to investigate and pinpoint exactly where is an issue (or that there is no issue) is incredibly rare." https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/i240ds/commen...

Thus, I still think a business model is important, even crucial. Without sustainable funding, the future of any software project becomes highly questionable.
Octopuses is preferred. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus#Etymology_and_pluralis...
I've always hated Peanuts. I remember thinking as a kid, there is nothing less funny and more mundane. Sorry in advance to all Peanuts lovers...

The only thing worse was Doonesbury.
Podcasts in the shower: on bluetooth speaker connect, add 15 mins to the current time, set focus mode that ignores everyone until 15 mins later, resume podcasts playlist wherever it was left off. Only annoyance with this shortcut is it’ll pop up a notification to approve running the shortcut when it detects the speaker has been turned on.

I have those cheap paper nfc stickers hidden in random spots around the house and we have the same shortcuts setup on our phones so we can add dog food/loo roll/cleaning supplies etc etc to the shared shopping list in todo.

Similarly i like being able to tap my phone on the way out my home office to run script over ssh and shut everything down, turn off the lights and plugs etc
What a fantastic title (:
I think there is something to be said about what is worth archiving. I don't know what it is that should be said though. It seems weird to me that as a society we might be saving things such as a 10 hour video of white noise for another 100 years rather than some personal blogs. What is and isn't worth saving?
You don't have to open the box, there's usually just one model per market or carrier and the model number should be on the label as well...
It is true anybody (or bot) can spin up new identites so the count of pubkeys doesn't say much.

It is also true that there is spam. But it is avoidable. Spam lives in the general feed and in replies. You can configure clients to ignore the general feed, only show posts of people you follow (and maybe of people they follow). If you want to meet new people, then use relays that filter spam. You have choices of how to solve this; nostr is about putting the decisions in your hands.

I have not seen any client that creates a new ID. I've always imported my key and used my same ID from day one.

But you are 100% that the community is heavily slanted towards bitcoin enthusiasts.
Apple and Google are not guaranteed to be updated when government road data changes. They do their best and they have tons of money and user-reported data (like live GPS traces from users' devices) to do decent work, but there are many times that OSM map nerds do a better job. The real issue with OSM is in remote areas where not a lot of people are around on the ground to realize that it's broken or care: the first user in an area often has some volunteer work to do. But fortunately it's easy and you can do it. Any random person can make a better map of their area than Google, instead of having to beg them for it.
Interesting. Seems like the logical thing to do would be to fire the whole PD and replace them with another group. Except that's basically the model used by secret-police dictatorships (eg. Russia, Iran) and anarchist failed states (eg. Haiti, much of Africa), so it doesn't seem to work very well either.

Seems like the root problem is that we grant the state a monopoly on physical violence because the alternative (no group having a monopoly on physical violence, and hence all of them battling it out) is worse. But then like the holders of any monopoly, they abuse it. This is why we can't have nice things.
