A lot of people are saying that these accusations against India must be true, and why would Canada lie, it has no benefit from lying.

The Trudeau government operates significantly differently than previous administrations, they have used their national security advisor and CSIS before to lie about India to save their prime minister from embarrassment and then get caught red handed for making false accusations.

An example incident around 2018-2019
Canadian Prime Minister on his visit to India in 2018 had invited a known terrorist in hiding to his gala, who was shown to even take a photograph with his wife, the first lady at that event [0]
Then after this incident blew up back then, the national security advisor of Canada, CSIS and the Canadian Prime Minister claimed that it was rogue elements in the Indian government who brought the criminal to the gala to embarass Canada [1]
Only for a liberal mp from Prime Minister’s own party admitting they were the ones who invited the known fugitive who was facing charges on attempted murder against Indian beauracrats and journalists. [2][3]
It was a disaster and showed how the current prime minister likes to use public services to save his face and make false accusation against other governments and nations.
The Minister even had to resign later for this.
I’ve added two attributions for last point [2] and [3] a canadian and a indian media source as it wasnt widely publicised in Canada (considering how embarrassing it was for them) but was widely shown in India
I linked only canadian sources and newspapers to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I’ve also found the current canadian administration with how unprofessional they are, their prime minister was caught publicly insulting trump and making jokes about him at a NATO summit (no matter what you think of trump, it is unprofessional and bad, considering canada was back then negotiating a Free Trade Agreement with america back then), he has lied about India accusing them of serious things before then after getting caught about it, put it all under the bus.
He has soured relationships with a lot of countries, China, India, USA (under Trump), publicly tried to lecture Italy (no matter what your opinions are on that), got shamed at EU parliament during his speech.

Basically nothing you said here is true.

People don't normally drink hot water

People drink hot water all the time not to mention cooking, tea, instant coffee and more.

legionnaires

That's from water being stagnant for long periods of time.

lead helps make metals and solders more resilient to high temperatures

Not only is this not true, but water is never going to go above boiling. Propane torches (used for soldering pipes) burns at 1,980C

Banning lead from the hot side could therefore decrease reliability

This is ridiculous. Soldered pipes have been in use for over 70 years. Where are getting this idea?
Well, just as folks might be skeptical about Matrix clients ever being as performant as WhatsApp/iMessage/Telegram, and yet we eventually got there with Element X... I'm expecting a similar outcome with E2EE UX.

The high level plan is:

* Fix all the bugs which cause random undecryptable messages, which was the main thing causing frustration. This is (hopefully) done now by converging on the new Rust implementation.

* Generate a recovery key, rather than confuse the user by asking them to pick two passwords (one for their account, one for their encryption). Impress on the user that if they ever want to recover their history, they'll need it. Expect that most users will lose it.

* When logging in on a new device, scan a QR code on an existing device to transfer over the keys (and thus history). Users are used to this now thanks to WhatsApp and Discord, and empirically they can do it fine. The recovery key is used only as a worst-case scenario if the user has no other devices. The act of logging in (either via scanning another device, or via recovery key) signs that device as owned by you.

* Only accept messages from devices that a given user has signed (i.e. trust on first use for users). If you want to verify that user out of band, they get an green tick too, purely to help you keep track of which users you're sure are legit and which users you've assumed are legit.

* At any given point, encryption is either enabled on your device (i.e. you've signed that device; it can access your encrypted message history; it can store keys for your encrypted message history) or it's not (and you can't do any E2EE). There are no halfway states.

This may sound simple and obvious when written out like this, but each point is a major change from the supremely confusing system we have today. The thing stopping us from having implemented it sooner is the huge amount of effort which went into reimplementing the engine in Rust. But having now (almost) finished that project, next thing up is fixing the UX, at last. The rough timeline is hopefully end-of-year, but, again, timings are contingent on funding pressure.
Heh. Well, speaking as the lead engineer of a large C++ systems project that sadly started a liiiiitle bit to early to use Rust (the Cloudflare Workers runtime), I'd say our attitude is the other way around: We basically refuse to bring in any kind of C/C++ dependency unless it's something used in Chrome (implying they've vetted it). We are much more willing to bring in Rust dependencies, even though they're harder for us to invoke due to the language barrier.
Sure, we have these in my language as well. For instance, the car Kia should be written like "vomit" - so we have a convoluted spelling and say the name slightly wrong to distance the word from "vomit". But it's still clear to everybody how the name should be pronounced and spelled.

Doesn't seem to affect sales, though, probably like the Chevy Nova. Those Kia are everywhere.
I almost never comment here on HN (or anywhere actually), but I feel the need to express how happy I am that I found (lost in a comment a few days ago) this service.

For the past three or so years I have tried half a dozen times to leave Google Search. Tried DDG, Brave Search and some others I can't remember now. But the "poor" quality of results had me going to Google for half of my searches, and after a while, just Google again, for convenience.

Now, I'm at 44/100 trial searches and I already know I'm going to pay for this. It's like using Google on 2008 plus without ads. It just work wonders, and I haven't even started to play with the filter to raise/lower certain domains, which I think it's a fantastic tool to have.

Great work Kagi Team!
Well they killed him and haven’t had any real consequences so I would say killing him was also an accepted response. It was accepted by everyone realistically able to do anything about the situation.
It's interesting
I can't wait to see how 2035 will unfold

I heard there already are some exceptions

It's about 10 years from now...
> I don't understand why there's always a comparison to US's salaries, the US is the outlier in every discussion about labour and salaries

The reason I brought it up is because the most profitable, dynamic tech companies are founded and based in the US (often by immigrants). Other countries will lose their edge to be able compete in tech globally if they don't compete in engineer pay.
Dummy argument aliasing has nothing to do with INTENT.
Nice DX at the cost of UX.

The current state of web development has been ruined by putting developer experience over user experience. A great example that was shared on HN a few days ago: https://ericwbailey.website/published/modern-health-framewor...

This person couldn't use the site. But at least the developer got to see red squiggles when they didn't format their object properly!

If you see "not using JS as much" as knee-capping your hiring, then you are putting your personal preferences ahead of what is good for the users.
> what specific features are in the mysterious Ultimate plan?

Ultimate used to be unlimited searches.

Now that the Professional plan is unlimited, this seems like a quick attempt to provide some value to those with Ultimate. My bet is that many will move to Professional, those who stay will mainly do it for the support, and the mystery is just a cherry on top. I'm guessing extended API and AI features are among the coming features.
why? the contract? employment contracts normally have a 30-day walk-out-without-notice clause

Depends on the car. Nio's cars can swap the battery in 6 minutes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmWL1hZQmD0

It means you can have a battery subscription rather than buying the battery. A subscription keeps your battery new and also lets you swap between higher and lower capacity batteries as needed.

Nio has 70, 75, 100, and 150 kWh packs in the same physical pack dimensions:

The Khalistan movement found a fertile breeding ground in Canada about 40 years ago. They bombed an airline (AirIndia flight 182) in the 80s, the terrorists who plotted walk free in Canada to this day. Additionally, any Sikh , in Vancouver, who dissents with the Khalistan idea is asking for trouble - its a mafia. This tumor in Canada's politics has been allowed to fester, and now their PM is hostage because he is a minority party , one wrong move and he's out of power. Assassinations and hit jobs are common. In 1984, leaders were groomed, there were riots over Khalistan and a major political assasination of PM Indira Gandhi. I wonder what other Sikh leader is being groomed, this time in Canada - to blow up in the Canadian political scene.

When the Khalistan govt. crackdown, and violent riots happened in India in 1984/85 I saw that first hand. These fugitives from India are a mix of Political aspiration (nothing wrong there), bigotry, criminal mafia, and vengeful militias that wields political power in Canada - Canada has opened its doors to trouble. Some of the grievances are no doubt legit, but there is (effectively/relatively) zero religious repression of Sikhs in India (unlike other minorities in India who have experienced problems, based on their religious views, that are covered in the media).

The vast majority of Sikhs want nothing to do with these extremists. Sure they want to protect their distinct identity, and culture, a beautiful thing in itself. Obviously, the Indian govt can do much more and be more effective if it tries, within its own borders - but thats a matter of political will or games. But India has already paid the price, and been there.

Canada has no clue they're dealing with a major social/political/criminal nuisance.
I've been doing this for years. In what way is support not already present?
That is a crazy statistic . This past spring I bought a hybrid toyota corolla LE (the lowest end model). It lists for $23K (of course the dealer added various markups that I couldn't opt out of).

What does $23K get? I drive the car like a normal person with no attempt to eek out extra mileage. I'm averaging 48 mpg over the past seven months since I got the car. Even though it is a low end model, it is amazing what technology it comes with. It shows me the speed limit and indicates when I'm over -- not by having a map of the speed limit, but by reading the signs as I drive. It has lane keeping and adaptive cruise control, and warns me when my closing speed is too great.

My ego isn't attached to my car so I don't care it is not flashy. I can't imagine paying twice as much unless I had some specialty need (eg, had to buy a heavy duty truck).
BEVs mirror the obsession with diesel cars in Europe in more than one way. It was just a partial solution with many of its own downsides. In diesel's case, the problems drove the abandonment of diesel, even though it made up more than 50% of car sales at one point. BEVs are headed in a similar direction.

At some point, the need for something new, whether it's e-fuels or hydrogen or whatever, will become undeniable. We simply won't be building millions of charging stations and place them at every parking spot. If adblue is inconvenient enough to stop diesel cars, then the charging problem will be even more fatal. We must have something that refuels like a conventional car, period.
> - I can't just plug my Google phone into an external display to mirror it. Uh, hello?? DisplayPort out is explicitly disabled in the source code with no reason given

This apparently changes with the Pixel 8

> - I can't access my text messages from my Android phone (without a separate app like SMS Backup & Restore) -- go ahead, try it. Yeah, do an adb backup. Maybe rooting your phone would give you access, but it's impossible otherwise AFAIK. And I think rooting your phone deletes everything in the process.

> - I can't access my phone backup. It's ONLY stored on Google's servers. The only way to even get close is to restore it to a phone. This is a physical device I bought and literally am holding in my hand but can't access all the stuff on it! Did you know you can just plug in an iPhone into Windows or Macs and dump a backup to your computers? It's all right there, text messages, system settings, contacts, photos, databases, EVERYTHING (except maybe hardware-protected keys). It's amazing.

This is not applicable for all Android phones

> - Do I even need to mention all the Google shenanigans? We all know what I'm talking about, right? The mess of messengers... the killing of various services, the lack of support, the stronger integration with ads and tracking.

No I don't, none of the dead services have impacted me, what mess of messengers? Lack of support for what?

Even american eagles are increasingly dying of lead poisoning.

https://gasanature.org/bald-eagles-across-the-us-are-being-f...

Lead found in the bullets of hunters, who tend to hunt larger game like deer, poison the meat of the deer. Once the lead enters the gastrointestinal tract, it becomes toxic. If the deer runs and can’t be recovered by the hunter, it typically will die and be consumed by scavengers – like the bald eagle.
There should be a live stream. (And I might even make it there in time to give the talk).
Diesel exceeded 50% of the market and still did not hit the "tipping point." This is a purely imaginary concept with no basis in fact.

What I learned from summarised nuggets of Winnicott and Bowlby [0,1]
is that time spent as they grow is an investment in relationship
building for the future. It doesn't have to be that much for fathers,
but it needs to be consistent and regular. By the time you want to go
skateboarding and bike riding with them, when you have more spare time
and money and mum gives them more independence, there needs to be a
solid foundational attachment bond. It may not seem like playing with
a 1 or 2 year old is "useful or productive", but your mere presence is
foundation building.

This criticism kinda misses the point. E2EE, especially for group chats, is _the_ reason to use Matrix. It's an extremely hard problem, and you'll basically need to replicate what Matrix does if you want to solve it.

Doubly so when you add federation.

It required more than one iteration of Matrix to get it right, which I (personally) totally expected to happen. I don't think XMPP will _ever_ get it right.

Regarding clients, I don't think Element is worse than most (all?) XMPP clients when you look at the functionality past simple 1-to-1 messaging. And forget about mobile apps, XMPP just sucks on mobile.
Google's been losing in blind comparisons for over a decade (experiments:

- Both have google branding -> competitor wins

- Neither has google branding -> competitor wins

- One (chosen randomly) has google branding -> google branding wins

Yahoo search consistently beat them for a few years before Microsoft bought it and turned it into Bing. It doesn't surprise me at all that Yandex is also producing better results.
The existence of the regulation is evidence of that in itself, because the alternative would be that someone for unexplained reasons put in the time and effort to pass a regulation that has no effect.
I really disagree with your second point.

Silence and carry on is what false accusations deserve. The issue is, I don't think Modi can afford to stay silent, whether the accusations are true or not.
Raycasts are a very useful tool, and you shouldn’t avoid using them if they’re the only thing that will work. But a _fully general_ raycast is always the most expensive option. For example, an axis–aligned raycast will always be cheaper and might do the job just as well.

The previously mentioned case of doing hundreds of raycasts all starting in the same location but each in a different direction could be done with rasterization instead. That’ll involve a single loop over all the triangles in the world instead of one loop over the same triangles for each raycast. And for NPC vision you could rasterize billboards instead of the full character geometry. You can probably simplify the world geometry too.

That’s all I mean.
Well, we need to fix that then. https://matrix.org/membership/ and https://matrix.org/blog/2023/06/membership-program/ is the way to donate.
True but here we are talking about dying people and their agency to decide what to try and do...
>without the processing power of a smartphone behind it.

Considering the cheapest of desktop/laptop CPUs and iGPUs are more powerful than the best mobile CPUs and GPUs, this is a problem with the encoders and video chat software involved.
> It's gonna be hilarious when all the new EV buyers find out about the broken chargers and start fighting over the few that work

No. Europe's charging infrastructure is much superior to North America's. And the EU has a plan to make it better still:

Meanwhile, Americans are already killing each other over EV charging:

It's a cultural thing.
With the payments only being in Bitcoin, far less people will be willing to touch it, self included. It would also be nice to have other authentication methods, such as Passkeys, available as well. Looks pretty neat though, reminds me a lot of WeChat.
I liked it too, paid for it for a few months. But every so often it would start lagging by about 1000ms. Tthe only solution was to reinstall the Windows drivers. This happened with both iPhone and Android devices, and more than once, so I cancelled when they didn't have a better solution.
Why would the availability of chargers remained unchanged?
This is an overly simplistic view of options trading. Let’s say I had a view that the stock was going to be volatile, more so than options implied, but didn’t have a directional view. I could buy the calls and short the stock and scalp my gamma during the move.

Or let’s say I was short the stock and wanted to hedge during a volatile FOMC period.
Similar use case that actually happens: hurricanes. Entire large cities evacuate. The Miami and Houston metro areas are both over 5 million in population.

Forecasts give days of notice, so I guess an autonomous vehicle ride-hailing service could have a million extra cars drives themselves in overnight. But refueling them would be a challenge. It's already a challenge for normal cars today (without using more fuel by rearranging fleets of cars between cities).

Also, sometimes they change traffic flow for evacuations, like contraflow lane reversal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraflow_lane_reversal) or using the shoulders as extra lanes. I wonder how well autonomous vehicle software handles that.
Huh?

You're the one that said no comment was suspicious! I said something weaker than that, that it's not very suspicious.

I'm not the one that said a canary failing is a yes. I said it was significantly more suspicious than a no comment.
This is patently horseshit.

I know mechanics, they have been on EV training courses. The dealerships clearly have trained mechanics working on the EVs they've been selling for years.

I live in the countryside, I see plenty of EVs. Range anxiety is only for people doing long distance 200+ mile journeys every day, as those that commute in the suburbs day to day have the common (and financial) sense to charge at home and leave every morning with a 'full tank'

Judging from your prose, admittedly, I suspect you are North American and as such have a distinctly different worldview from mine.

It's also one of my favorite sequences in the 2010 movie of Space Odessey series (which IMO, works a lot better as an actual movie pacing wise). Just something about the tension gets captured really well there, without their being any sort of actual threat (since it's a robotic probe).

That's correct, in fact we would have a DAG if we displayed all possible arrows, but we conceal it to make the UI easier to interact with for the user. Hypotheses (green nodes) form many little trees, and goals (red trees) form a single tree. These must be trees, and not lattices, because that's just how Lean and Coq tactics work. However, tactics make use of hypotheses, and these can be displayed as arrows that connect hypotheses and goals, making it, in this sense, a DAG (here is an example, I moved the nodes a bit to make the arrows obvious https://github.com/Paper-Proof/paperproof/issues/9#issuecomm...).
