>grew disillusioned with that party many years ago, largely (but not solely) due to their ties to Wall Street / etc.

The first issue I take with your comment. Politics is not a religion you need be fervently impassioned about, it's making a pragmatic choice.

Especially in the US, that means choosing between two corporatists, agreed. But this gives me very big "a lefty was mean to me on twitter and THAT'S why i vote for fascists now" vibes. I don't care what their ties to wall street are. I care which party is the better option for the working class. Which support things like a stronger NLRB? When you stop with the religious purity bs you can ask material questions about who is better for X. And the answer is always democrats if the X is anything but "the .1%".

>I am more centrist on social issues, in that I share mainstream opinions on gay rights, etc (I've always supported gay marriage)

Ok, you must be longggg out of politics or playing glib here. Supporting gay rights is NOT centrist. One party supports gay rights, the other is burning and banning books that mention gay people existing and calling trans people groomers. This is what i mean when I call centrism fucking evil. The sides are NOT comparable.

Saying "durrr but dey both take money so samsies???" is so ignorant and vacuous a statement as to be malicious from someone who has SEEN a college, which I presume most people here have.

>It's not great if you think I'm the big evil supremely ignorant person that you think is an enemy in sheep's clothing

Big evil? Nah, probably not.

>supremely ignorant

Yeah. Much more likely you are. If you think supporting gay rights is a "centrist" position, you are not paying attention.

>Brandishing people with whom you presumably have much in common as evil makes it difficult to build a majoritarian political coalition.

No, the literal fucking fascists in our midst gutting the voting rights act, removing polling stations in democratic counties (look up harris county voting), gerrymandering to the point 65% votes gets you 35% of the legislature, trying to literally stage a fucking coup, deny vaccines, climate science, etc etc etc, are the f'ing problem. If you are a centrist comparing them, you are complicit in their fascism, or supremely ignorant. Which are you?
I believe the Pi is also pretty much the only sensible choice for GPIO support on Linux.

You have lighter context switches [0] and finer-grained security domains; consider e.g. passing a pointer versus de/serialising across process boundaries. (The former benefits the latter too, since there's less of a performance cost to cutting up software into more domains.)

The suggested wealth tax is 2%. I have no concerns that a billionaire capable of creating a multi billion dollar business would have any issues raising $20 million per year to sort out their tax bill.

Are there any billionaires you're worried about in particular?
>However, forcing the invader's culture and practises on the conquered people and taking steps to replace the local language, culture, politico-legal systems and social structures is.

That's orthogonal, more like cultural imperialism. Some colonizers did it, others were just fine with not imposing any of their culture on the locals, simply because they merely wanted to use them as slave labour or primitives to be utilized.

It's also not an exclusive sign of colonialism. All countries that emerged from a merger or combination (like in Europe, from Spain, France, Italy, and Germany, to Austro-Hungary and the balkans), whether through war/annexation, peaceful merging, or revolutionary nation building, unite the culture of the parts, usually based on the dominant cultural group from before. This happens both for business and governing needs, but also organically through job migration, commerce, and so on - and often includes some coercion. Not sure China's case is heavier than others, especially given the era.

This could easily be fixed by having a consequence to fake DMCA reports. A fine or something. Something messed up that Youtube does is when someone files a copyright claim they get to take the money from your video. I have had times when I was sent a copyright strike for videos I have made and when I check my video is usually much older than the music that I am being accused of stealing.

I always win these disputes for obvious reasons but Youtube has never offered to make things right.

Basically the accused is guilty until proven innocent which is not how it should be.
A commercial data provider can also be showing a manipulated border, and is at least making some kind of editorial decision about what they are showing (whether they think so or not).
This is actually the future NASA wanted (kinda; the Sea Dragon was always a _bit_ on the fanciful side). The shuttle (or at least _a_ shuttle; early designs were pretty different) was supposed to sit alongside Saturn V descendants; the shuttle as a cheap frequent manned launcher (of course, in reality it was anything but, but they didn't know that at the time), and the Saturn V derivatives for big heavy stuff.

In the event, budgets got cut, and the Saturn V derivatives went away.

Granted, the Shuttle going to _the moon_ is a weird one, alright.

Excluding modified vehicles, I rarely see an EV that is quieter than an ICEV. It's kind of annoying, really -- I was so ready for a quieter world, but the gov't thinks we need more noise.
> 2. X86 System

A lot of the small/mini/micro form-factor systems (even ~five year old used corporate machines) are almost always the (significantly) better option at the price point. I bought a used Dell SFF system a couple of weeks ago for $119 that runs circles around the Pi in every way (16GB RAM, NVMe, real I/O, real USB, PCIe, six core i5, etc) while idling at 9 watts, which makes little difference in operating cost even in locales with the most expensive electricity in the world - especially as the Pi continues to be more power hungry and often requires a fan. The SFF system is even upgradable to 64GB of DDR4 and has a full length x16 PCIe slot and an additional x4 slot.

This machine does everything in my house, even functioning as a 2.5gb router which is already something the Raspberry Pi could never do. Add on a dozen docker containers, a VM or two, and the gap only widens. I did upgrade the RAM for $40 but the systems it replaced more than make it come out ahead on power and cost. You can still resell a Pi 4 for ~$70.

Perhaps most important - availability. There is no shortage of these systems on eBay and elsewhere (or new), there never has been and there likely never will be.

For many years the Raspberry Pi was a good default "go-to" for many applications but x86_64 has come a long way and at this point I struggle to come up with all but a few bespoke use cases for the Raspberry Pi.
My municipal water meter transmits readings in the clear on the 915 MHz band. There's a neat program to catch the readings: https://github.com/bemasher/rtlamr
Control+Backspace is a common shortcut for deleting the previous 'word' (the previous block of text to some form of white space).

It's very common in IDE's, even FireFox supports it if you type words in the address bar, press Control Backspace and the behavior happens there.

Asking ChatGPT about the origins of this, it points to Control+W originating from Unix Terminals, and how it's been adopted by most IDE's as Control+Backspace.

Microsoft has very poor support for it in their tools, and I use MS products for the bulk of my work.

Moving to non-Microsoft products like Google Sheets, and viola, Control+Backspace works.

Even muscle memory stuff like Control+Shift and left arrow to select previous words; also not supported by Excel, but it is by Google Sheets and IDE's.
Yep, that would explain the half a dozen comments about maglevs made by me.

I’ve definitely been trying to steer the conversation towards maglevs.
Most of the world reports their meters regularly to get accurate measures - the company still sends someone out every 6-12 months to true up. You're free to lie or ignore it, but the bill will come due just the same.
You can usually mute these. Better gas stations label the mute button, otherwise someone with a sharpie can do it too. Right side row of unused buttons, 2nd or third from the top.
The first thing that came to mind, apart from what the article mentions with regard to our increased capacity for observation, was the increase in ocean temperatures and decrease in pH in some places. This could gradually induce psychosis in an intelligent species. Their water is slowly becoming battery acid and the food is becoming more scarce. Any being of sufficient cognitive ability would take these environmental pressures to cruel extents.
Gzip or Brotli will help, but the result will still be bigger when base64 is in the middle.
Somehow this issue always seems to arise when forming agreements with large platforms.

This right here is why I'm a cat person. Cats are not as playful as dogs, but they are also so much less work. We have two, and as long as their automatic feeder is full and they have plenty of water, we can leave them unattended for days at a time no problem. They also require stimulation, but much less than a dog.

So you want them to wait till certain companies and industries are able to sell and misuse users' data before they report egregious, very possibly illegal blanket mandatory consents for data that shouldn't be collected in the first place to perform any function of the car.

Yeah, no. Mozilla deserves A LOT of criticism but this definitely isn't one of them.
I had a VW Sirocco back in the 1980s and had to replace a rear taillight assembly; brake, turn, stop lights. I think it cost about $200 at the time which was a shocking amount. I probably only made $200 per a week in my job.

My uncle who knew a lot about cars gave me some advice. He said check how much an alternators costs before you buy a car. VWs seemed to be cheap to people but the parts were astoundingly expensive. But me as a teenage ignored all that. Kind of like people now buying Tesla for the looks, technology but pay dearly for any body damage.
The US systems are 120 V line-to-neutral (ground), whereas the European and lots of other countries are 230 V line-to-neutral. So after going through a distribution transformer, the non-US systems are at a higher voltage, which means you can distribute the power further without large losses. This leads to more neighborhood-level transformers serving dozens of consumers instead of the US practice of using split-phase transformers to serve only 2 consumers at a time.
I think that doesn't adequately explain what's going on. A lot of tools that are popular are horrible to use. They just got a lot of exposure and that was enough to gain adoption.

The inequality of exposure of projects is massive and hard to overstate. Even if a bad project is exposed to 10 million developers over a few months, it will become a standard.

On the other hand, a project which only got 100K views over 10 years will never be adopted no matter how good it is. People can talk about how good it is, but that doesn't matter at all; the only thing that matters are the algorithms used by the big tech platforms and they have all been corrupted.
The line isn't drawn at the quality of their indoctrination or the evil doers world view. We judge by our own indoctrination and world view.

We for example don't do trial by ethnicity. We don't give a rats ass if the people who caused the German economic problems were Jewish.

My gas company has monthly bills, but read the meter annually. They estimate usage other months, you send in any corrections if it's wrong, rnd at the end of the year they read the meter & reconcile any discrepancy.

By what metric do you claim Google "adds a lot of value to our society"?
The unit registry maps units to locales (eg EN_US, DE_DE, NL_BE) you pass the configured locale to your getter call for the unit. If you need unit strings, you can pass the locale to the string formatter.
> Everything is better, society, technology, even little things like king Charles marrying Camilla instead of Diana.

Haven't watched that far, but if _King_ Charles is marrying Camilla, then it obviously didn't work out so well for poor ol' QEII, did it?

I assume the thesis is that space stuff is inspiring, leads people to aspire to better things, royals to approach dating more sensibly, etc.
It's very straightforward to modify to run at 3.3V. There's a few good guides online. It's one cut trace and a short wire tack.
Someone other than you has to read it once in a while; every 3-12 months most likely. I report mine (via SMS) so I don't get a surprise bill (or find I've been giving them a six month interest-free loan) when the estimated use and the actual use differ.

A 100% independent software project

Protomaps is a self-funded, solo developer project with a mission to make interactive cartography accessible to hobbyists and organizations of all sizes. An essential part of that mission is publishing open source software under commercial-friendly licenses.

You can support my full-time work on Protomaps in a few ways:
* Downloading the open source world basemap tileset with a support plan on GitHub Sponsors.
* Paid development of open source features.

Is there some missing context here, like "...and they only have ten dollars to spend on hobbies during the entirety of 2023 due to the famine wracking their homeland?"

I mean, when you're talking about things (items in your "finite hobby budget") that cost less than a hundred dollars, why are you going to fuss about the "price point?" I am intrigued by how much this appears to matter to people who comment on Raspberry Pi threads.

Hobbyists spent, at times, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on microcomputers in the eighties, and that was real money back then. Even the quaint ZX whatevers that were sold in Europe were, in inflation-adjusted terms, much more expensive than a Pi. Perhaps that's why I find these recurring concerns about how much an inexpensive SBC costs to be a bit baffling, particularly in the case of a hobbiest who is only buying one of them.
Do you want people to know when you're at home? Fairly easy to do from electricity or water usage patterns. Supposedly only the utility supplier would have that information, but they are so incompetent at security, who knows who else? Certainly the police have access to that. Looks like a sensible security measure to avoid that exposure.
Wow is there anything climate change can’t explain?
Lauterbach is much beloved in many hacker / reversing communities, largely for its power and wide compatibility.

Not an easy thing to start with, I'll certainly grant you that.
No, the smart meters generally don't have this functionality. Other appliances can in theory hook into the market information from the supplier, but this isn't very common, and is generally under the user's control. The most common thing where users cede some control is home battery systems, where some providers give a discount or outright pay the users for control over using the batteries as grid storage ("virtual power plant"). But this is independent of the smart meter, a smart meter is mostly useful as someone with a home battery or EV because you can get acess to minute-by-minute energy pricing, whuch will generally save you money if you can shift your draw from the grid to when it's cheap.

(I will say for the average consumer at the moment a smart meter only gives you a mild convenience increase, and is likely not worth the trouble. I haven't got one installed myself, despite and now in part because my energy provider has been hounding me to install one, due to this push from the government. There's no reason to be an early adopter for this if the benefits aren't good, given how badly scuffed the first iteration was)
Its not cool when all you know is Base64. Vivaldi uses it to store inline thumbnails in \Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Sessions Tabs_ Session_ files. A simple file containing list of 100 Tabs takes multi megabytes. They also used to store inline thumbnails in Bookmarks file, ~200 Bookmarks file was taking 10-20MB!
One reason given is that it was delayed so it wouldn't interfere with travel to the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
> A platform where the YouTuber and editor comes together, editor uploads the edited video on the platform, youtuber approves the edit video to be uploaded and the video will be uploaded as soon as it is approved. This was there is a permission check to be done before a video is uploaded. Saves lot of time and bandwidth of the user.

So now you move from the issue of trusting a person you are paying and interacting with regularly to trusting a completely random site with both access to your channel, and your unreleased videos

> Saves lot of time and bandwidth of the user.

You'll just pass the bandwidth cost onto the customer anyway?
Meters are already hardwired to each other. There's little reason to need it to be wireless to begin with.

But either way, it's common for them to also chirp at 915MHz. They don't need their own band to operate, they can participate in these same bands used by other devices. They're not sending that much data.
They put it into a spreadsheet, but the bug list exceeded 65,536 rows so it was silently dropped.[1]

It is very sad that people are downvoting you for finding something disturbing.

Since the spring/summer, I feel like I've noticed a lot more downvotes being handed out. I really wish I had access to anonymized HN voting data so I could see whether it's a small group of accounts doing it, or if there's other patterns of behaviour.

Oh, and people are allowed to find things disturbing!! Whatever the experience of the generic HN user might be, there's a myriad of reasons that someone is upset by horrific images. It's like mocking someone for not watching cartel torture videos or something!

Let people enjoy things, and let people dislike things without bullying.

I doubt there will be any listed on that for months, the first two preorder batches from the day it was announced are scheduled to deliver November to January. I would imagine that since then there have probably been enough preorders to fill their production quota until 2025.
> How do y'all get excited for EVs?

This is where we are headed. We've reached the point where EVs outperform ICEVs in all metrics, and buying an ICEV has to be justified with nostalgia.

This is almost all ICEVs as well. And just like you can get a fun ICEV, you can get a fun EV too.
I think that having two adult role models to give a child love, and to serve as an example of 'how to have good interactions with others' is also quite important.

I was a child of divorce, and honestly it was a bit traumatizing. My parents were (and still are) often quite angry, mean and dishonest. They spent literally over $100,000 on legal fees, but "didn't have the money" to buy me a guitar.

So despite being (relatively) well off, coming from a violent, if not outright abusive at times household, suffering from parental neglect... yeah honestly that may have contributed to things like "skipping class to do drugs".

I think there's a lot of socializing that can happen in a functional two parent household that doesn't happen in single parent households, and this may be an additional advantage, in addition to equivalisation + social transfers/safety nets.

Plus as previous comments have said, if your parent has the trait "functional, responsible adult capable of having healthy relationships", that probably really increases your outcomes.
>Ask, e.g. the Baltic nations whether what Stalin did to them was not "colonialism".

I could ask them, but I would get diverging opinions, especially if I go back to the generations that actually lived under that (and who often expressed how they find it "better" in several ways, in published post-1991 polls).

Not to mention the civil tension even at the start of this, pre- and post-WWII, between pro-communists and pro-USSR at the time (which had sizable popular support among European peoples, from Italians, Spanish, Greeks, Portuguese and so on, including sizable numbers in France and Germany) and also much more remote parts of the world, and which was squashed with quite a lot of blood and far right terrorism. Czechoslovakia itself had quite a strong communist party, way before 1948.
