Is that for the cable or FTTP deployment on the island itself? Seems like they could at least get much better mobile internet rates using the subsea cable instead of satellite for backhaul.

I had a very difficult time trying to figure out if that subsea cable was online or not.
Geewax's API Design Patterns (https://www.manning.com/books/api-design-patterns) is a solid resource especially if you plan on using Go. It's based of Google's own API design principles: https://google.aip.dev
I live on the West coast, my Mom lives back East. I can't add another tenant in my apartment and even if I could, my Mom didn't want to upend "her life" to move to a place she has no history, roots, or connections.

She wanted to be near her sisters, of whom she wouldn't accept any help. She is proud and maybe too proud in that regard that she'd rather suffer in silence and not let anyone know. I helped pay her bills for a decade before she became homeless, at that time nobody else, my brothers for instance, offered her any assistance.

Additionally she wouldn't tell family about her situation and wouldn't allow me to. A few years ago I broke down on a phone call with her sister (my aunt) and explained everything. My mom didn't talk to me for a while as a result, saying her situation "wasn't anyone else's business!". But my aunt said she'd help, she said "I could give her $500, but that's all". I had been giving her $500+ per month for years by this point.

There are other complexities that were involved. But I understand your point.

Given the state of PII protection laws in the US I'd wager not much legally and they may be open to access by the police under the same old "abandoned" files precedents that give police so much access to your email and other files stored with third parties. That's all speculation though.
It's a handy site, but it's worth noting that;

"Ian's Secure Knot" is just a rebranding of a knot that is also known as the "Berluti knot", "Tibetan Trekking Knot", "Sherpa Knot" or the "Double slip knot".

It's a great knot, the best way to tie your laces, but spin it as much as you like it's just a bow with a double twist on the second twist, and has existed since long before Ian or Berluti tried to claim it as their own.
How are they going to prevent people bypassing it though? The only way I see that can work is a complete ban on open general-purpose computing.

I think it had a huge effect on changing the practices of their potential consumers.

I'm aware that Microsoft and Google still have massive marketshare, but there's no way of knowing what the world would look like if that lawsuit hadn't happened. They technically lost in the legal court, but internally may have been congratulating themselves because the penalty was so small.

But they lost in the court of public opinion. "Everyone knows" that Microsoft's modus operandi is "Embrace, extend, extinguish" monopoly-building, that IE sucks, that their entire platform is anti-user...it's taken decades of brilliant work on VS Code, on the .NET stack, and in other open source efforts to partially convince some of the developer community that they're not entirely evil. And honestly, Microsoft's character in all of this is a big part of why I daily Firefox on a Linux laptop, and probably a big part of why tools like Firefox and Linux exist. A significant portion of Google's success may be due to people leaving Microsoft's IE (and Bing) and using Chrome instead!

Here, "Don't be evil" Google - already somewhat maligned by their Adsense tracking cookies, their gradual degradation of the Search experience, their habit of canceling beloved projects, their own embrace/extend/extinguish model with Chrome, and their other actions, could suffer a similar character impeachment in this antitrust trial.

It doesn't matter as much whether industry insiders knew what their behavior was, or whether they take a financial hit, or even whether they're found guilty - what matters most is what popular culture paints them to be.

Most consumers don't care either way, and many care about price above all else. Automated trucking means possibly lower prices, and AI entertainment does to.

And depending on the source you look at, Truck Driver isn't even in the top 25 for men (it's mostly construction, HVAC, Pipe fitting, and related jobs).

And in fact one source I looked at said that software engineering employs more men than truck driving (but that source was dubious).

> I think the rub is that often the office crowd, in order to get their office, have to drag the remote crowd with them otherwise they're not getting what they want out of the office experience.

There might be a good business opportunity: Offer a "staff" of paid actors to go into a business, and walk around, having hallway and water cooler conversations, maybe drawing on whiteboards, and imitating the "buzz" of a robust office environment. That way, the people who like the office can bask in the ambience of a busy office, without having to force employees into the office that have no interest in that ambience!

Modularism is my favourite. I am enjoying using ExpressJS of all things, because it comes bare bones but you are a few mix/match middlewares from having it set up as you like. And the process of setting them up is not a chore, it is valuable, you now know how your thing works. Whereas frameworks give you the kitchen sink behind a facade that makes most happy paths easy. But eventually you have to deal with that complexity one way or another, and usually it is by hacking together stack overflow and github issue answers :-)
The more confusing think is why they don't sell well? It seems like the obvious choice, especially given the new 7yr update cycle.
Using the registry is a pretty simple API call to say place X here, read X if it exists, etc.

If you need to start manipulating configuration files, then you need to deal with all the complexities of that.

The registry is great for exactly this sort of config info. And on Windows, HKLM (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) is for system-wide stuff. If it were per-user config it'd go in HKCU (HKEY_CURRENT_USER).

I think I found a bug related to checking out with PayPal. The checkout page keeps asking me for my phone number and then keeps forgetting it. I double-checked and PayPal has my phone number, so if they (Better World Books) were trying to populate the phone number field with data they got from PayPal, it should be there.

I like BWB... they're standing up to the man (Amazon), run a prison book program and donate books to people who may not be able to afford them otherwise.

But I'm curious if other people who use BWB have run into this problem. If so, we might be able to get them to fix it. Maybe also there's a BWB employee who reads HN. I filed a support request via their web page, but I fear their response is just going to be: "meh. works for me."

What people are missing is the teacher will soon be an LLM with a camera looking at the student. Why would you watch a video of a human during an online class? Why would you ask the student to produce something in a black room? We will not evaluate students based on their homework, an AI assistant will evaluate the student based on the conversations they had together. You can automate teaching, but not learning. There is this gap in time where teaching hasn't catch-up, it's going to be quickly addressed since teaching is expensive. Parents should really encourage their kids to practice their learning as before, eventually using ChatGPT like they use Wikipedia. One generation will suffer during the change.

I think a four digit loan is already on the high end when one also needs to get a car, find a place to live and to rent, with no savings. You arguing that it is consistently much higher makes my case against taking loans stronger, not weaker.

>Have you missed the part where adults are lying to children and telling them that the high salary their degree will earn them will pay for the loan?

Lying to teenagers who should, at some point, use their own judgment. You signed a paper for the loans, yes? Were you able to calculate that it would equal 45K or more of debt? How did you, yourself, think that you would manage to climb out of that debt with a job that you did not have, and would only have a chance of getting four years after graduating?

I could easily find this guy's LinkedIn profile, a profile which includes his past government-related jobs, and I'm wondering why would people make that stuff public?

Or maybe I asked the wrong question and the correct one should have been: Why would the U.S. Department of State or the U.S Department of Justice allow their employees/contractors to make that contractual information public to the world, including to state entities that are adversarial to the US Government?

> It's also worth adding that the scientific method is fundamentally based on unprovable axiomatic assumptions.

No, it isn't. This is a very common myth, but it is in fact a myth. Science has no axioms.

> We don't even know if the scientific method is the best it could be in what we use it for.

That's true. But what we do know is that the scientific method is vastly more effective than anything else humans have come up with in helping us navigate our existence and exercise some degree of control over our destiny.

> After all, it was only expanded with the idea of falsification in the 20th century yet we were still doing useful science before than.

That is also true, and that is one of the reasons to believe that the scientific method is special and unlikely to be improved upon. It's not just an arbitrary choice. It is privileged, and there is actually reason to believe that this privileged status is a reflection of some underlying reality. But this is not an axiom, it's a result.
Surely steam takes way more than 8%?
Your skepticism is warranted: the last people put to death for espionage in the us was over 60 years ago - at the height of the cold war. Between case history and sentencing guidelines, we are nothing like China or Russia.

The US is far from perfect, but we're also a lot better than a lot of places.
I really struggle with this list, for me, the books that stayed with me aren't on BookTok. Albeit for me, it's because these books are challenging on a craft/architectural level.

The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez is a time travel story, kind of, through the lens of a descendant of the protagonists of the main novel, kind of. It's a fantastical ancient story told to a descendant by an aging relative in relatively modern day, and while that story is told it is also told to the reader as if it's actually happening, and then timelines are crossed over.

The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera is about a guy who starts a support group for the almost-chosen-- people who, by happenstance, weren't chosen by prophecies. Like literally it's like "yeah, so my sister was chosen to herald the apocalypse, but I still have visions of angels and I have to drink myself to sleep", "yeah, my cousin was chosen to kill my godfather, I'm just stuck with chainsaws for hands". But it's much more dissociated, and much more unattached-- and the reason for this becomes clear at the very end.

I recently finished The Archive Undying by Emma Meiko Candon. That book is full of characters with ambiguous identities, characters with ambiguous motives-- everyone is hiding who they are from everyone else, not in a murder mystery way but in a complex conspiracy format where everyone actually has their own mini-conspiracy going on. Of course this is in the context of "giant mech-god corpse is being resurrected to fight mech-god monsters", so there's a fundamental awesomeness. But, y'know, when god-AIs can jack into your brain, or connect brains to each other, or jack into each other, the story can no longer hold linearity in an easy sip read.
I don't understand how that is supposed to resolve the contradiction.
So is Dalke not also charged with espionage? He attempted to transmit messages to a foreign agent (who happened to actually be FBI). So maybe his incompetence makes his crimes less severe? I was under the impression that he also sent documents to a Discord group, and that there were foreigners in that group.
Re: hiking, your comment reminded me of this recent write-up in the Seattle Times. It's hard to imagine serious hikers hitting the trail in the PNW without at least one person in the party carrying the relevant Green Trails paper maps, but I suppose they exist.

“Your devices aren’t big enough to show you the context at any level of detail that from our point of view would be useful,” he said, citing the possibility of needing to find an escape route in a wildfire. “If you unfold a map, you can see where you are and get a better handle on where you can go.”

Coburn’s stewardship also resulted in the durable quality of today’s Green Trails maps. Made of Polyart tearproof synthetic paper, with special ink to shade topographic relief, and printed at Capitol City Press in Olympia, these maps have a clear selling point: waterproof, solar-powered, no batteries required."

Firefox has an extension (developed by Mozilla I believe) that allows you to have multiple tabs open of the same website but logged into different accounts. This was handy when I had to sign in to different Azure accounts every day at my old job. Basically prevented me from needing to open multiple Private windows or use Firefox for one, Firefox Developer Edition for another, etc.

I know this is different from tab groups, but it's something I don't think exists in Chrome, at least not as a Google-maintained extension. I've encountered some really awful 3rd party Chrome extensions.
That's too bad. I use it. It's typically faster than their "modern" interface, and does not suffer from "flat design".
> The really important part of this is how will society handle the "loss of jobs". Are we already preparing for this eventuality? Are we gearing up to re-train truck drivers, are we gearing up to not have thousands of taxi drivers per city and all the stuff that comes along with that (added taxes, medallions, etc.)

Instead of fighting for jobs that are becoming obsolete solely so those people don't lose jobs, maybe their union should be working on answers to this question. I'm not saying I support these people losing jobs but, like you said, should "It'd take away jobs" be a reason we should never progress technologically? Even if it stands to potentially vastly decrease the amount of accidents non-truckers die in? While they die because they're forced to overwork and overwork means sitting for most of their waking hours?

Instead of spending money on these kinds of battles the union could be working towards figuring out programs that could set these truckers up for other jobs or towards some sort of strategy that will cover their expenses until they get on their feet.

But, then again, most of those would mean their priority is their union members and not just making money. Because one way they will likely end up spending any dues money on their members with the end game eventually being dissolving the union when there are no more truckers. aka, no more money.
S3 API has become lingua franca and is supported by open source (minio), storage vendors (QNAP), as well as plugins that translate S3 API calls to APIs for competing cloud providers (s3proxy).

all this is done because S3 provides unmatched durability and reliability at a dirt cheap cost of $22/terabyte/month of storage (with the first 50Tb/mo free!).

Try to beat that reliability guarantees with whatever you handrolled, and I bet you will never be able to beat the cost of S3, even match the durability, reliability, availability guarantees at any reasonable cost at all

Installers are supposed to do that.

But they have to be well-written installers (many aren't). And anyways, lots of installers are written by companies which want to leave their footprint behind even if you do uninstall.

Finding orphaned registry entries is hard - it's not always clear what application put them there, and how to determine that the application is still installed.

No, because the filesystem is one layer of abstraction lower than the registry. There's nothing with less bottleneck to the filesystem besides raw device access. The registry runs on top of the filesystem. If you wish to use the registry for filesystem-like purposes (eg storing startup config specific to the app or user state), just use filesystem. If you wish to use it like a database for system-wide information, that's a better use-case, but the registry isn't quite a proper database.

Windows programs proliferate $HOME junk, too. And that's an issue in its own right, which should be addressed by platform-specific application dirs (e.g. the platformdirs library for python).
Your argument is too refined! All I'm talking about is basic internet dynamics at the crudest level, because those are the dynamics that govern large public forums like HN.

Low-information internet putdowns land with readers as swipes, especially with the reader who is the target of the putdown. This degrades discussion, so we don't allow it here.
