SSD based encryption implementations are often highly insecure and should never be used. Many drives don't even use the given password to encrypt the data on the disk, meaning that flashing the controller with a modified firmware with the password validation patched out will let anyone decrypt the data without needing to know the password. https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2019/papers/310.pdf
Not only that, many of them will be themselves glued to the phones while you execute your elaborate speech about child development, missing your point entirely and consider you some medieval crook during those 2 seconds they will be focusing on you.

Lets not act like parents are stellar in this, because more often than not they aren't and most issues with kids come from this direction (as a parent of small kids I really can't blame anybody else if we mess up something, not at this age)
It's hand built. And it would not surprise me if every one of them is different.

I can buy a Caterham-7 and drive it on public roads too. That doesn't make it a production car even though it is probably much more standardised than the Koenigsegg.
passwords and encryption keys are secrets, not obscurity.

Security by obscurity would be hiding your house key under a doormat for your friend to find - depending on the culture you live in you may be more or less safe but it is not security (just like hosting your ssh server on port 9384 will repel 99% of attackers but is not a security measure).
Incorrect. At early stage, the funding is primarily so that the team can pay themselves a salary. They don’t expect any returns at that point. Most (96%) of the VC-funded startups do not make more than $1m revenue. Bootstrapping is in my opinion much worse, because you put your own capital at risk

You could look at multiple points and try to generate a distribution of when this kind of activity happened. You might find that the number of points results in a pitifully poor confidence level in an expected probability though. Not enough rats and not enough kitchens.
I get the joke but let me just mention that wood campfire is one of the worst solutions (if done at scale). This may sound idealistic (like the other comments mentioned) but I think we just have to reduce our energy footprint and then many solutions will be green again.

One great example (some will say absurd and impractical) is just using energy whenever it is available, with minimum storage. That means cooking, heating water etc. during the day (or when the wind is high) and only using lighting and low-energy devices at night. Factories could work on a similar principle (producing more in the summer) but then we would have to rearrange a lot more stuff to suit the seasonal renewable energy production capabilities.

This may sound absurd but it only shows how much we are locked in our way of thinking about how reality is supposed to work, not what it is. There's no reason to have high quality on-demand electrical energy available 24/7/365 other than convenience. Convenience that fossil fuels brought us.
I love it when every discussion about Putin's full-scale war in Ukraine gets derailed by "but the USA is doing the same".

Suppose that the USA works in the same way, bombing and shelling civilians every day, torturing and raping women and children, launching massive attacks on power plants during winter to freeze the population to death, abducting children from their parents etc. Suppose all this was true. Would it give Russia a moral excuse to do what they are doing?
This smells like a thinly veiled attempt at marketing for Freedom, rather than solving the problem. Sort of like "it's ok to binge drink all weekend because of this app, but not on a work day!" sort of mentality.

Why is there a necessity to move fast? Things are close together, so the need for speed is actually decreased. If you're willing to tolerate a 20 minute commute, that might be a 1 mile walk in the city compared to a 20 mile drive in the middle of nowhere. It ends up working out; people put stuff close together specifically so that you can easily travel between those places without burning dinosaurs or running over the local children whose ball went into the street!

If you need to cover longer distances, you can likely go slowly towards some sort of transit hub and then take a faster vehicle to your final destination. (This is why people fly instead of drive across the country. In the cities, you can run trains underground and not conflict with anything else going on in the city! Many cities have tried this with great success; the only complaint is not doing enough of it.)

This is true on black and white eink displays.

But for color, I'm not so sure.
Not illegal, from what I've heard — someone read the small print of their mortgage agreement, modified it, signed it, the bank person signed the modified agreement, the bank sent junk mail, he pointed out this meant the bank was in breach of contract and given how he'd modified it that he was apparently theoretically entitled to write off the remaining debt.

Apparently that last bit would probably not have survived an actual legal fight, but they never sent him any more junk mail.

(This was pre-GDPR, so perhaps things have changed?)
I just don't see this as a viable option for plug and play usage in a modern desktop environment.

Something like this could be used with a bespoke UI optimised around office productivity.

In such an environment, complete screen changes (such as after clicking next) don't need to be instant, and minor text changes as well as mouse movements can be fast enough.

But that's not the software stack we built for the world - so what's the use case here?
Obscurity and secrecy are different things. Though I agree with you. Moderate amount of well implemented obscurity is helpful.

Transflective LCDs make sense when `ambient light level x LCD transmittance^2 x backlight layer reflectivity` is brighter than `brightest white LED x diffuser transmittance x LCD transmittance`. Transmittance for run of the mill LCDs is like 40% so the bar isn't that high. The left part of above formula means white level of transflective LCDs can be as low as 15-20% ambient white.

I think what happened was super-bright white LEDs replacing early LEDs and CCFL(Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Light) backlights. iPhone up to 3GS used transflectives, but LCD on 4 and later were transmissive. That was probably the point when cheap sunlight readable backlight became viable.

Things get a bit more complicated when the founders are russian and had R&D offices in russia. To my knowledge they claimed to have cut all financial ties to russia and they also positioned themselves publicly against the war.
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense to me. I'm 90% a bike person and still I am against a blanket 30kph speed limit in my city. I'm not against making all smaller residential streets a 30 zone, but the ring roads and the radial ones going to the center are kinda long.

Maybe it works out if it's a matter of fact and you move there and can find some place to live with awesome public transport but while I think ours is generally good there are some real holes in the coverage, especially the more you go towards the edge of the city. it's just not comparison. Subway stations are not 800m apart but more like 3.5km
Completely agree. Tolkien for one established many of the basic parameters of modern fantasy novels.

Incidentally, the US Ballantine edition of TLoTR had massive publicity from Tolkien himself, in response to an earlier unauthorised publication in the US by Ace Books, for which Tolkien didn't receive any royalties. Tolkien was uncharacteristically active in helping to suppress the unauthorised edition, leading to a major grass-roots campaign and useful publicity in US universities and the wider counter-culture.
Can you please explain why it would be preferable to have large companies paying x cents per notification to Apple, and not to users?

I don't understand the credit part? Wouldn't some kind of "set your rate" option for the user, allow more individual flexibility? As opposed to a flat fee per notif, sent to Apple?
I appreciate your effort on creating a full ecosystem from the ground up. I'm doing the same, the more the better. It brings me an old time hackers vibe.
We don't need 10s of VC-backed frameworks trying to lockdown users to cash them. I hope you plan to continue doing this work by yourself in place of launching a PaaS/SaaS on top of it.
Been using this for a year or so as my daily basic DB client. Really like it for what it is and can definitely recommend it for quick and simple DB operations.

I put it in the same category as tableplus - its a nice simple db client when all you need to do is browse some data, edit a row or two, etc. The community edition of beekeeper, however, has less annoyances than tableplus's free version imo.

For more advanced use-cases, it doesn't come close to dbeaver or tools like that, but it also isn't designed to imo.

Looking forward to an (admittedly big and clunky) PR of mine to beekeeper potentially being merged that adds support for connecting to aws rds instances via iam (cli) :)

Do you mean like not calling it an intervention? It's been sometime, but I don't think the Ukrainians care too much about Russia calling it a “special operation”…

I happened because the phone operators made SMS a paid feature, while Whatsapp over wifi was free. Then the people for whom SMS was not free started using Whatsapp (or Messenger or other apps) and eventually those who used to use SMS switched to the same apps because their contacts were using them.

In some places the switch to these apps took longer (like France, because SMS had been free for a long time) but there is a fundamental asymmetry since SMS is free only for part of the users (so the others will never use it) while the apps are free for everyone. In the end, everyone ends up mostly using these apps.
Pour in more AIs to solve AI problems! I mean, people used to do this with software (more code to the problem), but the strategy hardly worked in the long term. Without solving the actual problem, everything just adds up to more complex issues.

Also, I don't think ethics is a local maxima that can be found through optimization. Basically, it's not an absolute truth of the universe, but a set of arbitrary rules invented by human. I think it's much closer to a chaotic system - which can radically change in value even by a slightest change in the underlying parameters, but is still governed by a set of simple rules. Thus, we would need more symbolically capable systems to process contexts based on the rules of ethics, and we're currently far away from this AFAIK.

What brutal modern life problems require smart phone with unlimited access?

Most problems we face in our lives haven't changed a zilch - its simply interacting with people for whatever reasons. You don't need phone for that, in fact you should first work on handling face-to-face interactions and only then move to remote ones.

Kids can grok how phone and app works in few weeks through and through and much faster than you or me currently, so that they are not missing anything if they start later. There is very little to 'learn' by further usage of it, just feeding addictions.
I just uninstalled the Facebook and Twitter apps. I can still log into the website if someone sends me a link, but there's more friction and there are no notifications pulling me in. Highly recommend.

> without the support of the UN... Korea

The US involvement in the Korean War was organized under the nascent UN.[0] "During the course of the war, 22 nations contributed military or medical personnel to UN Command. Although the United States led the UNC and provided the bulk of its troops and funding, all participants formally fought under the auspices of the UN, with the operation classified as a 'UN-led police action'."

I don't exactly get the recent surge in nostalgia for the Commodore computers in particular. Don't get me wrong, what people are doing with new replacement parts, crazy mods, even writing complete OS's is nothing short of amazing, but at least on the surface, I don't see what exactly makes this line of hardware so attractive to hobbyists: why not 8086/PC, Macintosh, Amiga, or ZX Spectrum? Is it just abundance / availability? The fact that it is different from the other platforms of the era, whose legacy still lives on in the PC and Mac?

I too absolutely love the SID[1], probably the most unique sound chip in all of history, but most people don't even do music with these machines.

Not in software.

Most successful French startups move their HQ to US as soon as they can and claim they're a US company.

"Made in France" software is a shame and if you're targetting the global market (not just the French domestic market) no founder wants to advertise that.

Which is a shame because we have a lot of talented engineers in France, it's just that the biggest French software companies are frauds.

Generally not. Most software does not have reproducible builds, so the checksums would be unlikely to match.

Using plastic for energy is quite practical -- for example, burning it to power cement kilns.

All that "recycling" you're doing, carefully separating out plastics 1, 2, maybe 5, washing them, putting them in the bin... most of that doesn't get recycled into new plastic, but it would be fine for burning.
Show HN: NodeHive – Eco-Conscious Headless CMS
We are excited to announce NodeHive – The Eco-Conscious Headless CMS.

See it in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzQrEc5RJbI.

A Glimpse into Our Journey:
We're NETNODE, a team that has been crafting websites primarily with Drupal CMS for years. As the digital ecosystem evolved with powerful frameworks like NextJS, Svelte, and more, we transitioned to decoupled solutions, gravitating particularly towards NextJS for the frontend.

In our exploration of potential backends, we evaluated CMS systems like Strapi, Sanity, Directus, and others. While each had its merits, we recognized the unmatched open-source flexibility of Drupal and its extensive module ecosystem. This insight drove us to develop NodeHive, combining Drupal's strengths with our vision for a state-of-the-art Headless CMS.

Meet NodeHive:
At its core, NodeHive is an API-first (GraphQL, JSON-Api, Rest), Open-Source, Headless/Composable CMS with enterprise-grade features. It's built atop Drupal and integrates seamlessly with any Drupal codebase: https://www.drupal.org/project/nodehive_core.

What Makes NodeHive Eco-Conscious?
Discover our commitment to a sustainable digital future: https://www.nodehiveapp.com/eco-conscious

Another Headless CMS? Here's Why:
While the Headless CMS arena is bustling with contenders, Drupal lacks a definitive "go-to" solution for decoupled designs. NodeHive aspires to fill that void, aiming to be the premier Drupal Headless CMS.

Creating with NodeHive is not just efficient but also delightful. If you're venturing into headless solutions, NodeHive deserves your attention.

Join Our Mission:
We invite you to partner with us in sculpting digital experiences that don't merely innovate but also tread lightly on our planet.

Cheers to a future that's not just tech-forward, but also eco-forward!
I would be entirely happy with a 300ppi greyscale e Ink screen which has at least A4 dimensions. With USB-C input for power and video. Possibly just using DisplayLink instead of a video connection, as speed is not an issue.

Given the memory latency impact on in-order cores, I wonder how much of the gap is core design and how much is Apple's tending to fit much larger caches to their designs.
Well, the alternative is slow suffering and eventual capture and/or death at the hands of a better-resourced adversary. That sounds like a much worse idea. I'd run away, myself.

A huge percentage of Ukranian women have already fled the country, mostly to Europe. It's legal for them to do so, but not for the men. Russia has so far been unsuccessful in mass murdering the Ukranians who have fled to Europe, so it seems to be working for them.

There is literally zero circumstance that you could put me in that would result in me choosing to fight a war. None.
I have not called for Ukraine to stop fighting, as a point of fact.

Housing in the Netherlands is either your friend has an uncle looking for a tenant and now you have a reasonably priced flat that's a reasonable size. Or, you go through a company and pay out the nose. In both cases it seems almost impossible to find a place this way. But I definitely agree, Amsterdam sucks. Utrecht is waaaay better and it's only a half hour on the train to Amsterdam to see whatever you want.
