What's with people (boomers?) obsession with "Rock'n'Roll"?

It seems like there's been a constant conversation over the last 30? years about what is and isn't rock'n'roll. I simply don't understand why people are so focused on some ultra-specific definition of what music is.

Can you just choose to listen to the music you want and choose to go or not go to specific shows?

I don't know if OP is intentionally trying to ragebait readers here or not, but it certainly feels that way.

I get it, you're an old man who is angry that the world isn't the same as when you were 18 and happy.
lol why would you pay for such a thing unless--maybe--you're a journalist, in which case fair

Ahhh yes, Martha's Vineyard, definitely reflects the demographics of the rest of America and is not at all a community of extremely rich people.
>We have finally reached peak "I go to the concert to watch a screen and not the band."

No. That's The Flaming Lips. If you go to a Flaming Lips concert and are watching them play their instruments, something has gone terribly wrong.
Well good for you on being tangle-free!

Not all of us are so lucky, sadly. I guess there must be a lot of us that companies are catering to our genuine needs. :)
do you also think the state should criminalize religion? given the ubiquitous problems caused by religion in the public sphere, the domestic lives of countless millions families etc etc?
I am a commenter that ticks A, B, and C. Windmills are great. I've loved them ever since I was a kid. That said they aren't the perfect green energy source for a lot of reasons, and pretending they are totally carbon neutral and don't cause their own landscape issues doesn't help anyone.
It isn't both because they do PR about building a robot that can disassemble iPhones, but there are only two of them in the world and even if they were run nonstop they could only recycle 1% of the iPhones Apple manufactures in the same amount of time.

In the meantime most of the iPhones people trade in are sent to third party "recyclers" who don't recover nearly as much of the materials and are contractually required to shred the devices without recovering functional parts for reuse, even though that would reduce the amount of ewaste by several fold -- once for the device already on its way for the shredder, and again for each of the devices that could have been repaired from its operational parts.

It's a cynical take because it's a cynical marketing ploy.
Yeah that's who I thought of; the only Michael Flynn I've heard of.

Teams of cryptographers submit several proposals (and break each other's proposals). These people are well respected, largely independent, and assumed honest. Some of the mailing lists provided by NIST where cryptographers collaborated to review each other's work are public

NIST may or may not consort with your friendly local neighborhood NSA people, who are bright and talented contributors in their own right. That's simply in addition to reading the same mailing lists

At the end, NIST gets to pick a winner and explain their reasonning. What influenced the decision is surely a combination of things, some of which may be internal or private discussions
Thank you. I was rather confused to see this in HN.
Not just overheating, but overheating the chips to the level where they put extra performance stress on the kernel for some weird reasons. Basically I was seeing 70% CPU usage plugged in on the left and 20% usage on the right with the same task. MacOS has many issues like that, the "Apple cares more about users/design" idea is a bad meme at this point.
Couchsurfing.org may be worth a try. They have a website that I used to find other people to hangout with via their "connect with other travelers" feature. I have used it in San Francisco and Bay Area as well as traveling the world such as in Thailand and it worked great for me at that time. It really did work to find and connect with real people and events in person for a given locale. I see now that they are requesting a donation to even use their website now so YMMV.

steady on -- DUI recidivism is likely higher than you/we think it is.

US gov's NIH did a study in 2010[1] with an objective of:

[determining] the statewide impact of having prior alcohol-impaired driving violations of any type on the rate of first occurrence or recidivism among drivers with 0, 1, 2, or 3 or more prior violations in Maryland

the study analyzed:

more than 100 million driver records from 1973 to 2004 and classified all Maryland drivers into 4 groups: those with 0, 1, 2, or 3 or more prior violations. The violation rates for approximately 21 million drivers in these 4 groups were compared for the study period 1999 to 2004

and the study's summarized conclusions:

The recidivism rate among first offenders more closely resembles that of second offenders than of nonoffenders. Men and women are at equal risk of recidivating once they have had a first violation documented. Any alcohol-impaired driving violation, not just convictions, is a marker for future recidivism.

separately, here[2] is an NHTSA research note "looking back" at their study from 1995 that concluded that the recidivism rate was one third of all people charged with DUI. some states had rates of recidivism for those charged with DUI up to 41%, some as low as 11%. regarding those convicted of DUI, highest rate of recidivism was 69% (!!) and lowest was 11%.

> This feels short on facts high on opinion

Well, it IS the Opinion Page, so don’t expect much. You don’t really need facts if you are just going to blame a vague “Narrative” boogeyman.

It’s a common excuse from people claiming to be censored: “I can’t say this or that because it ‘goes against The Narrative.’” OK, so tell us more about this shadowy narrative that’s hiding around every corner! Is The Narrative in the room with us right now?

In large organisations, these kinds of managers get to where they are by maximising visibility and building their brand. That can be hard to do remotely unless they’re used to it.
Dual EC is virtually certain to be a backdoor.

I had the same take on Dual EC prior to Snowden. The big revelation with Snowden wasn't NSA involvement in Dual EC, but rather that (1) NSA had intervened to get Dual EC defaulted-on in RSA's BSAFE library, which was in the late 1990s the commercial standard for public key crypto, and (2) that major vendors of networking equipment were --- in defiance of all reason --- using BSAFE rather than vetted open-source cryptography libraries.

DJB probably did invent the term "post-quantum cryptography". For whatever that's worth.

There are two main things. One is that the 'cookie law' is quite different in scope and terms (e.g. it also applies to various non-personalized cookies), and the consent conditions for accepting cookies in that law are substantially different than the ones in GDPR; and I it's quite likely (since I don't read French) that they're asserting that the particular usage of any privately indentifiable cookie data (if any) they are doing is permitted by one of the non-consent clauses of GDPR e.g. the legitimate need sections.

The other is that GDPR is still 'enforcement-limited', and there are many organizations that simply violate GDPR - the fact that some organization has done something for years and has not yet been forced to change their ways does not imply that what they do is permitted by GDPR; it's just that the enforcement of GDPR for the trickier parts like online services (as opposed to the important services in physical world, employment, real estate and renting, banking, telecommunications, medicine, etc which were prioritized and are now highly compliant) is starting with the larger violators like Meta, other companies would be handled afterwards, and since news companies are 'politically sensitive' I'd expect that lemonde.fr would be among the very, very last on the regulator's list.

The French countryside is full of wind turbines, they ruin landscapes and kill millions of birds. Much better than coal smog, but France isn't replacing coal, it's replacing nuclear. Makes 0 sense
> As fast as the original would be "0x slower" or "1x as fast".

I have played a fair number of incremental games and this quickly became a pet peeve of mine. So many will say things like "2x more" and it will actually be "2x as much". Fortunately, I don't recall any which actually switch between the meanings but it's so commonly a guessing game until I figure it out.
But in a sense doesn't that lend credence to the idea that the closer the indexing is happening to where the data is born, there may be some natural advantages?
Also, what are you even supposed to do if another car strikes a pedestrian and launches them directly in front of your car?

Aggressively braking to minimize the damage is probably the best you can do, and it seems like that's what the car did.
This is a great idea! Wow.
The wind farm driving east from LA into Palm Springs is really fun to drive through as well, it has 1,224 wind turbines!

> Very light trains. Think lighter than road cars, since they don't need crumple zones or crash worthiness.

Crashes involving light rail are common in urban areas, because the trains share streets with cars. I don't see that going away as long as human-driven cars are allowed. And because passengers are often standing, the trains must be heavy to improve passenger safety in crash situations.

> Virtual coupling. Basically platooning on rails.

Modern designs typically have very long cars, with only 1, 2, or rarely 3 cars in a train. Longer cars increase passenger capacity and improve space utilization, because passengers can move around freely. They also allow busy passengers save some time by exiting from the right end of the train.

> Much faster acceleration and deceleration. With leaning, they could also corner faster.

Urban trains already limit acceleration and deceleration to improve passenger safety and comfort. Long-distance trains with sitting passengers and grade separation are another matter.
Most pumps I see will only dispense 75 dollars and then cut off. In one case it was 100 and then cut off.

This apathy is an interesting phenomenon, let's not ignore it. The Internet has brought us a wealth of knowledge but it has also shown us how truly chaotic the world really is. And negativity is a profitable way to drive engagement, so damn near everyone can see how problematic our society is. And when the algorithm finds something you care to be sad about, it will show you more, more, and ever more all the way into depression.

This is the lasting legacy of the Internet, now. Not freedom for all to seek and learn, but freedom for the negativity engines to seek out your brain and suck you into personal obliteration.

A society of good people? Nobody really cares any more. And I do agree with the gp; if you look, you can see it everywhere. What is this going to become? Collective helplessness as we eek out what little bits of personal fulfillment we can get in between endless tragedy and tantalizing promise?
The problem with Dual EC isn't the sketchy "constants", but rather the structure of the construction, which is a random number generator that works by doing a public key transformation on its state. Imagine CTR-DRBG, but standardized with a constant AES key. You don't so much wonder about the provenance of the key so much as wonder why the fuck there's a key there at all.

I don't know of any cryptographer or cryptography engineer that takes the SHA3 innuendo seriously. Do you?

Additional backstory that might be helpful here: about 10 years ago, Bernstein invested a pretty significant amount of time on a research project designed to illustrate that "nothing up my sleeves" numbers, like constants formed from digits of pi, e, etc, could be used to backdoor standards. When we're talking about people's ability to cast doubt on standards, we should keep in mind that the paragon of that idea believes it to be true of pi.

I'm fine with that, for what it's worth. Cryptography standards are a force for evil. You can just reject the whole enterprise of standardizing cryptography of any sort, and instead work directly from reference designs from cryptographers. That's more or less how Chapoly came to be, though it's standardized now.

>yes I know a drug offense is not just simple possession but I mean, you didn't try to provide anything for your astounding claims, so I figure I could get the ball rolling here.

The same source[1] lists drug possession as 34k of 132k total in state prisons. That suggests only a quarter of the drug offenses are actually for possession, and it's only 3.2% of the overall state prison population. That said, those figures represent the upper bound of of people in prison for possession, because offenses could be pleaded down.

In the improvements of SwiftData, the ability to declare data models purely in code undoubtedly left a deep impression on Core Data developers.

The benefit of utility scale solar is, if the land is going to be developed, it’s one of the lowest impact land uses one could have near them. It’s just quiet glass and steel, and will remain as such for 20-30 years (at which point everything might be removed, or the install is repowered with new panels and the old panels recycled). This is likely preferable to industrial or other higher impact development, and kicks the can fighting against those land uses decades into the future.

If the land is getting developed no matter what, I recommend folks strongly advocating for solar.
True, though emergency braking isn't entirely subject to these limitations.

At least for tramways I know for sure[1] that the tram will happily have you break your arm inside the tram because it braked too strong in case of emergency rather than crushing a pedestrian that crossed in front without paying attention.

Maybe the rules are different for metros though, given that there aren't as many pedestrian on the way…

[1] because I got the information from the system design team of a big tramway manufacturer I worked with no later than last year so my memory is much fresher, and the source is more reliable.
I don't think they are doing that anymore? I think they've seen the Germans embarrass themselves and are realizing nuclear is actually good.
The whole concept of music as a visual medium is rather limiting. MTV was fucking awesome for little while, then it became entirely routine with maybe one cool new video every couple of months, then it became pretty boring, then it simply stopped showing videos because nobody cared anymore.
I’m at the point where “piracy” isn’t even a Bad Word anymore, because it always refers to pirating from big companies where there’s either no way to legitimately buy, buying is unreasonably expensive (e.g. due to different seasons being on different platforms), or it’s research where the scientists don’t care about their work being pirated because they don’t get paid for it anyways.

You’d have to reword it to something like “anti-digital theft” to bring back the negative connotation. Or have more articles about how piracy is destroying small businesses, which are suspiciously rare.

But most piracy is done by individuals in pursuit of profit, not for personal need.
The vast majority of panels are installed on roofs where the most of the sunlight gets turned into heat anyway. The panels instead turn some into electricity and by providing an air gap give some insulation effect (cooler air flows under the panels cooling them and reducing infrared radiative heating of the roof surface, reducing attic temperatures).

Others have already addressed the plant argument.

If you're purchasing gross lumber here in The Netherlands it is definitely priced per m3. For example here: https://inlands-hout.nl/houtsoorten-en-prijslijst/

Just like with board feet it doesn't say anything about the actual dimensions. Also, I don't think it's much better as a unit than board feet either, both have very unclear relationship to the actual amounts you need. You'll always need to do a pretty complex calculation to figure out how much you'd need to buy. The pricing is mostly useful as a comparison to look at relative or day to day pricing differences.

I don't object to them in principle, but I do find it intensly distracting to drive along a road with many wind turbines.

DualEC: agree. Wanted to point out that it was a poor PRNG _anyway_ and point out that the NSA's attempt at backdooring the RNG wasn't that great - as you say, RSA BSAFE used it and it made no sense. We could also point out they went after the RNG rather than the algorithm directly, which is a less obvious strategy.

I'll believe he invented the term - I have a 2009 book so-named for which he was an editor surveying non-DLP/non-RSA algorithms. Still, the idea that he's "the only one who can produce the good algorithms" and literally everyone else on the pqc list (even if we subtract all the NIST people) is wrong is bonkers.
