Are you sure? If you mean that most hardwood in the US was "managed" at some point as a woodlot, then I guess it might be true, but if you mean that most hardwood in the US was specifically planted to be harvested, I'm very doubtful.

I'm far from an expert, but I am in the process of planning our hardwood harvest in Vermont. The northeastern US produces a lot of hardwood and my impression is that very little of it is "farmed".

Can you point to sources? My attempt at searching didn't produce much either way. If you are right, I'd love to update my false impression. Or are you possibly confusing "hardwood" with "softwood", such as pine?

Well lets talk about your average 'bigcorp'. You've got laptops you need to log into, you've got network shares you need to log into, you've got internal web applications you need to log into, you've got external saas bullshit you need to log into, you have some cloud accounts you need to access... You need to manage this for thousands of people, probably 10s of thousands of people.

You don't want your average user to have a great many usernames and passwords, maybe two or three at most to manage. You also probably don't want to have them share those credentials.. though without 'one big system' you can't really prevent that. You also probably want some kind of system with 2factor support through a few different methods, rolling code, sms, yubikey, etc.

LDAP ain't it.

From where I set Oauth seems to be the current solution with the least number of downsides. It's complicated for sure, the flows are easy to fuck up, but I haven't seen a better solution.

Maybe Passkey is it, i keep meaning to read the rundown but I just haven't found the time... and also it's realativly new enough that support and open source solutions might be a little sparse...
I think you're probably right, but sometimes I wonder if a bit of distance can be a good thing. Perhaps a slight distance can make populism less viable while still being effective at representing the low-pass filtered will of the people in a sense.

And perhaps the lower public mindshare might help insulate against people with ambitions but not people's best interest at heart. Or this is crazy talk, not sure which one it is :)
No GPUs? I hope they have a plan for GPUs.

Yes, scalability towards the future is good -- but not at the detriment of player performance now.

If the player base doesn't stick around during our current dark-times medieval technology stack, there won't be a player base when we have whatever future tech makes it playable -- see the problem?
Kuro5hin, Slashdot, heck- The WELL all still exist. Old-school platforms and communities are on the internet. So do old-fashioned personal websites. They might have a pittance of users, but they're out there. Is that not what you want? But what you can't want, is for a large amount of people to use them, if they have no inclination to.

It'd be great if everyone started making their own Neocities site. Or even just drop contemporary social media and join the new Friendster (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38021802) or Spacehey. But the cultural impetus just isn't there.

With nobody working on remote GPU-accelerated rendering apart from Javascript and Wasm, it looks like the browser will be the future of graphics.
The sci-fi plot I’ve wanted to write combines this with the idea of a non-orientable universe. A space shuttle goes off in search of habitable planets and happens upon a planet that looks exactly like earth, but with the continents reversed. It is earth, but as the travelers have done a full loop around the non-orientable universe, they now have a mirrored frame of reference. So they have to learn to survive as aliens among humans, not being able to eat the same food despite knowing everyone.

(Of course, this reader would have to suspend disbelief regarding the fact that earth should be billions of years in the future when the travelers arrived, and that the travelers would most likely be composed of antimatter upon arrival due to CP symmetry)
What (macro+micro) nutrition does that provide? I put into cronometer 180g "lentils, raw"; 180g "beans, blackeye, whole, dried, raw"; 360g "wheat nuts", and divided into 7 servings. Got 354 calories per serving; 16g protein; 35g total carbs (4g fiber + 31g net); 18g fat. Not much of a base for an e.g. 2,000-calorie/day diet. I may not have selected the right items; not sure "lentils, raw" reflects dry weight or that "wheat nuts" is the right interpretation of "hard red wheat seeds" at all. But I'm really skeptical this is nutritionally adequate unless the sprouting adds a lot and "homemade kimchi, nutritional yeast, beets, apples, and zucchini" are doing the vast majority of the lifting. Of those, I think only nutritional yeast is high-protein; are you eating a ton of it?

Ask HN: How to Take Down a Cloned E-Commerce Site Committing Credit Card Fraud?
My friend owns an online shop on Shopify. Recently, he discovered that someone has created a fake version of his website to commit credit card fraud. The scammer built the fraudulent site using WordPress and is hiding behind Cloudflare's protection services.

The scam site contains all the same images, product descriptions, and even uses my friend's trademarked business name. My friend only found out about the issue when a customer questioned if the site was legitimate.

He's already tried to take action by sending a DMCA takedown request to Cloudflare, but received no meaningful response. He's also contacted Google, Bing, and the domain registrar, but the scammer's identity and hosting service are still unknown.

What additional steps can he take to solve this problem?
You said 90% off which i’ve seen personally and amount to roughly 1c (most of the list starts at like 8-10c in the US). The sibling says they somehow got 90% off that original 90% which seems silly and def not something i would count on
> True communist states

True Scotsmen

> ...wouldn’t necessarily thrive on a lack of privacy

Apart from the (eternal) "true communism has never been tried" yarn [1] it is actually true that a total lack of privacy is the only way in which something resembling communism can work. The closest thing to communism - and that is saying a lot because it is not actually communism but does fit the "to each according to their needs, by each according to their abilities" motto - is the family. Depending on where you are this can be anything from the nuclear family to the extended family but central to this is that everyone knows everyone and nobody can really hide their assets and (lack of) contributions from the others. That is what makes it work, the fact that leeching of the rest of the family is easily noticed and dealt with. The fact that this becomes impossible when the community becomes too large is also one of the (many) reasons why it does not work at a larger scale. This is doubly true for the Marxist-Leninist variety of communism which intentionally creates an upper class of "party members" who get to lead the rest of the plebs towards utopia. These "party members" unfailingly end up creating a two-class society where all animals are equal but some are more equal than the others. This two-class society means the ideal of "true communism", that being the classless society, will never be reached since the upper class (i.e. "party elite") depends on the continuation of the "struggle" for their continued existence as an upper class.

[1] yes it has and it has always led to the same disastrous results as it will again once the next Chavez or Maduro or whomever gets to play that game again
> .. everyone would benefit directly and indirectly.

The question here for me is does this 'everyone' include the entity that made, invested & owns the device in question (im assuming no), and if its acceptable to force them to do something against their wishes for something they own then why don't we just force them to hand over billions of dollars directly to users as well (both forms of theft to me.)

Windows is not the majority when you factor-out those Desktop users.

A lot of people on Reddit are not.
To hear you describe it, SSO didn't exist before OAuth.

And yet it did.
You're right that it is descriptive and not normative.

But the underlying belief of paying someone according to their effort, is very much based on the same premise.

What I'm saying is that nobody is _really_ paid according to their effort, experience etc. because those things cannot be reasonably measured.

The typical process of determining compensation is based on negotiation and power. In some places the process is more democratized and rules based. Both of these are only to some degree related to actual effort, experience and so on. This discrepancy becomes larger the more people are involved as well.
This is probably like when you swim out at the beach, and back and find you are 20m away from where you started due to currents. But you didn’t feel it.

With dead reckoning you could probably figure out.
a few more things:

- more comprehensive documentation & tutorials around your own MDX solution would be great. It feels like you put that together, but don't intend anyone to really use it in production, expecting people to go for next-mdx-remote or mdx-bundler

- fix internationalization: I've heard multiple people complain that you now can't do mydomain.com/blog/first-post & have the French version at mydomain.com/fr/blog/first-post. Instead, you need to put everything under a locale, so the English version needs to be mydomain.com/en/blog/first-post

...just in general, it would be nice to see more documentation & tutorials for next 13 / 14 and the app router. People are also not very responsive on github, it feels like you are just moving forward, without waiting for anything to be stable.

I would really like to be able to read this on the browser I want without some box in the way. I'm not changing a browser just to read this.
This is an insightful explanation.

I see a three stage change, from the pre-Bernays world of informational
advertising and functional markets, to the post-Bernays world of contrived
demand driven by psychological advertising, to what we have now.

Now we have policy driven economics in which technological goods are
foisted upon the population and a post-hoc rationale of why they are
necessary is relentlessly pushed as an explanatory narrative.

We're approaching the point where the "very limited set of actions or
products " is so dominant that the only choice looks like abstinence;
the "Luddite's" choice to not be abused.
Dude, we're talking about an RTX 4090. A GPU that can run current-gen AAA games on max settings at 4k60fps should not slow to a crawl when rendering "concrete and asphalt and brick textures and shit", to use your words.

So if I have a budget PC, I should be content with running this game at Nintendo 64 resolution? Or I guess it's on me to fork over $1,000 for a high-end GPU if I want to run it at 2/3 the resolution of a midrange mobile phone, as you suggest.
That is very correct.

Normal browsers being used is a massive downside for anonymity of I2P. The Tor browser tries to make everyone on the Tor network look the same.
4k is a resolution, not an amount of work done per frame.
There's no mention of it in the abstract. It's probable men who are sexually active also have higher T-levels and are generally in better health. There aren't many other reasons to prescribe PDE5 inhibitors.

grapefruits should usually help, as they're high in citric acid.
A reminder of just how far back in genetic history birds and mammals went separate ways. Another being that birds have no X or Y chromosomes -- their genetic machinery for sex is very different from ours.
FYI : Lithium and Sodium are both substances that explode when you drop them in water.

I wonder what the connection is.
I think mobile devices use scaling. The number of pixels reported are are not the screen’s resolution.
"no cables no assembly just cloud" is completely misleading to any kind of people - tech or marketing or not.

When people hear cloud, it means that aspects such as electricity costs, electricity stability, Internet, bandwidth, fire protection, safety, etc etc are abstracted away.

Oxide IS on-premise, right? The website is very vague and wishy-washy.
> gets a lot of things right... having every network participant relay some internal traffic

There are trade-offs. The Tor Project has its reasons for not doing this (from https://support.torproject.org/alternate-designs/):

"...many Tor users cannot be good relays — for example, some Tor clients operate from behind restrictive firewalls, connect via modem, or otherwise aren't in a position where they can relay traffic. Providing service to these clients is a critical part of providing effective anonymity for everyone, since many Tor users are subject to these or similar constraints and including these clients increases the size of the anonymity set..."

"...we need to better understand the risks from letting the attacker send traffic through your relay while you're also initiating your own anonymized traffic. Three different research papers describe ways to identify the relays in a circuit by running traffic through candidate relays and looking for dips in the traffic while the circuit is active. These clogging attacks are not that scary in the Tor context so long as relays are never clients too..."
Ha! Awesome. Thanks Cmdr. Yeah that was 25ish years ago, as I said in a different post I was living abroad for a year that spanned 1997 into 1998. I was off by a few months apparently.

Some new (to me) terminology:

Non-locality means that measuring the properties of a quantum particle in one location can instantaneously affect the properties of another, even if the two particles are in different locations. (While non-locality might sound as though it would allow information to travel faster than the speed of light, the probabilistic quirks of quantum states prevent this from happening[0].)

Right, “bitemporal” later became established for the two-time-dimensions model here, with “temporal” being broader and including valid-time-only systems.
For CPU heavy games it totally makes sense to target 30fps, but that better be 30fps at 1080p with integrated graphics, (or 30fps 1440p with 1060 class gpu). Add eye candy if you want, but it really should run well on any remotely modern system.

You're still not getting it. Yeah, if a car dealership had such a generous return policy you could get your money back and get a car that does what you need within your budget.

It's a Unity game. Why are people genuinely surprised that performance is absolute garbage? Both CS2 and KSP2 (kerbal) REQUIRE incredibly specific tuning that unity simply does not offer. The latter being rigid bodies at scale (which is semi impossible with a dedicated engine) and the former being "almost-factorio-level" low level cell processing. The graphics of both are second tier to that.

But no, lets use Unity...

Edit: I got former and latter mixed up.
Arguably, they did in the past - and the current situation is an immune (over)reaction to that. Outsourcing is easier than figuring out how to get something done while navigating around all the regulations and CYA measures, so that things look fair to the people (otherwise they'll make a ruckus), and/or can't be easily portrayed as unfair by your political enemies (who will try to trick the people into making a ruckus).
Nitrogen in Earths soil is present in the form of Ammonia, and derived substances. Occurring naturally, it is the product of microbial nitrogen fixation of diazotrophic bacteria, and subsequent biological processing. Plants can use these compounds directly.

Nitrates on mars will probably be in the form of nitrate salts.

Btw. agriculture also requires soil. Which the martian regolith isn't.

> We’d definitely make sure we have enough rockets that they can abort if shit goes south on supply missions

Have enough rockets where? On mars? Using what fuel? Using what ground installations like scaffolds and launch pads? Also, launching between Mars and Earth is only possible during specific time windows. For an Earth-Mars transit, these occur ~once every 2 years. So if "shit goes south" outside these windows, the amount of rockets won't matter.
If you’re in a boat in a river, your “natural” speed is the speed of the river. Same with air.

You point about a sailboat and wind is confused; the pressure comes from the fact that the boat is traveling at one speed through the water and at a different speed through the air.

> I’m not actively developing on AWS, so I don’t have as much of a sense for how often they sunset APIs that they have previously dangled alluringly before unwitting developers. But I have a suspicion it’s nowhere near as often as happens at Google, and I believe wholeheartedly that this source of constant friction, and frustration, in GCP, is one of the biggest factors holding it back.

AWS very rarely deprecates APIs. The last API they deprecated (that I can recall) was EC2-Classic, and that was after 15 years of service AND having a vastly better alternative (EC2 with default VPCs) that almost everyone was already using.

In fact, AWS S3 is another example of a well-built, time-tested platform that passes the backwards compatibility test. AWS S3 spun up in 2006 or thereabouts. Even though the version of their most-current API schema is from *2012*, IIRC, you can still use code that you wrote back in 2006 to create stuff into buckets and store them.

Same with EC2 VPCs and core networking.

> Go ahead, I dare you. Follow the link and click the button. Choose “yes” to get all the default parameters and deploy the cluster to your Google Cloud project. Haha, joke’s on you; it doesn’t work. None of that shit works. It’s never tested, starts bit-rotting the minute they roll it out, and it wouldn’t surprise me if over half the click-to-deploy “solutions” (now we understand the air quotes) don’t work at all. It’s a completely embarrassing dark alley that you don’t want to wander down.

Azure 100% does the same thing with their Marketplace AMIs, and I'm almost certain that AWS has a ton of quickstart guides that straight-up don't work. My guess is that a Solutions Architect or Presales Engineer wrote the solution for a small handful of customers to use, then published it for "impact" and completely forgot about it to move onto the next big problem to solve. (Guilty as charged.)

However, if someone contacted Azure and AWS after running the broken quickstart asking for help, if they have enough money for support, they will absolutely get an SA to help them get up and running. Not sure about GCP. I suppose it's probably the same.

> Larry & Sergey got rid of all the unhealthy snacks by 2006 though.

I will always tell people about how when I worked there in Corp Eng in 2015 (worst job ever, unfortunately), all of the doors on their (many) fridges had large frosted glass films covering their bottom halves. The top half had "heatlhy" soft drinks and juices, along with seltzers and other low-calorie beverages. The bottom half? Good ol' fashioned American sodas...including diet, zero-calorie sodas!

You could go absolutely crazy gorging yourself on their infinite frozen yogurt and snacks (they definitely 10000% had unhealthy snacks when I was there) twice/day, but good luck finding the Diet Dr Pepper, I guess?
Come on. Racist poems and hallucinated bomb recipes aren't the risk.

The big risks are that AI can automate harmful things that are possible today but require a human.

For example

* Surveillance of social media (e.g. like the Department of Education in the UK recently did)

* Social engineering fraud. Especially via phone calls. Imagine if scammers could literally call all the grannies and talk to them using their children's voices, automatically.
