>sometimes I download educational videos and other useful content I'm worried might get deleted

I've seen enough stuff on the web (not just YouTube) deleted that now, I try to always download and archive anything I think I might want to look at again in the future. You just never know when it's going to disappear. These services cannot be trusted to retain anything for the future.

>with the crackdown on adblockers, I'm worried the ability to download videos will just completely cease to exist.

I really don't see how this is possible, technically. As long as they're sending data to people to view on their own computers, it's just not possible to prevent copying that data. The only thing they can do is make it more difficult, but unless they change to requiring people to use a proprietary application to view that data, there's only so much they can do while making stuff that can be viewed in a web browser. Companies have been trying to come up with copy-protection schemes for decades and still haven't succeeded; the only times they've arguably done so is when they completely controlled the whole platform (and even then, eventually people cracked it if it was popular enough).

I think it's always just going to be an arms race between the content purveyors and the crackers, so there will only be short periods where copying will be impossible, until the crackers figure out the new scheme. What's much more important, IMO, is the issue of content simply being deleted or otherwise inaccessible. We see this all the time now.
They even switched to mandatory yearly renewals a while back when Libero SoC launched. Buy a copy of Libero Gold for $999? You lose access after 365 days unless you renew. Every license tier used to be perpetual upon purchase, but now a single node perpetual license is some ridiculous bullshit like $20,000 USD.

At least when you buy Vivado and Quartus you can actually keep using it...

> If you don’t have time dislexia, that doesn’t mean that others don’t.

In this case it's important to define what "time dyslexia" even is. I was talking about how the phrase didn't accurately describe ADHD symptoms, but you seem to be talking about a third thing that does have a concrete definition. What definition is that?
Oh my poor business logic
> can label you an ultra-right extremist and retroactively lock all your money down

Nitpick: about half the time (on sufficiently long term average), they'll instead label you a ultra-left extremist (most infamously anti-COMINTERN initiatives in the 1930s-1950s, but it tends to wobble back and forth depending on what's politically convenient).

Here just to share that I think "segregated" night clubs are essential for creating a publicly accessible and safe + positive vibe club experience.

Your other options are (a) let anyone in and you get a**** and total dilution of cultural values (quick death of the institution) or (b) it's a private party and you're not invited.

For accessible and good, you can stay on your toes and find new, smaller clubs and scenes that haven't had time to die yet, but that's its own exclusiveness: if you don't know, you don't know.
OK, this is amazing, I was just thinking through on what to base a project that's been brewing in my head for weeks. This might do nicely.

Only problem is, I absolutely hate the GNOMEsque aesthetic.

Can't seem to find any info on changing its appearance. Of course it should be possible given the nature of the platform, but it really is offputting. The soft-corners and hamburger menu aesthetic really does not communicate what a powerful platform this is, and not being able to change it easily is really offputting.
There’s two fundamental issues with that sort of approach:

1st, is the deltaV difference between useful and desirable orbits that satellite operators want to be in and the selected “disposal orbit band”… with GEO it’s just a small deltaV Hohmann transfer “up” into the geo graveyard “band”… the graveyard starts just 300km further out from earth and the geostationary satellite typically use on the order of 11m/s… which is bugger all. The Manned Manoeuvring Unit “EVA jetpack” had approximately 25m/s.

2nd, is sometimes overlooked, but nonetheless quite important aspect. Any graveyard orbit intended for use by multiple objects should cross the orbits of as few active spacecraft as possible and have as low of a relative velocity between the objects in that graveyard orbit as possible… Geosynchronous satellites are basically above all but a small number of very specific satellites in places like lunar orbit or Lagrange points, and “in a ring” so, performing a gentle boost to the graveyard orbit gets them out of the way of almost everything and they are at least as far as satellites go, not moving particularly fast relative to each other, and they are so high up nothing else is going to regularly cross their obit, so it’s a relatively low risk environment for a satellite on satellite collision…

the majority of cycling orbits tend to have a LOT of relative velocity compared to the orbits they cross, tangential crossings leave high relative velocity, and the elongated orbits tend to end up crossing through a lot of space as the orbital precession moves along… on top of that the deltaV to go from most orbits to a cycling orbit tends to be relatively high, not as much as a full transfer to lunar orbit, but it’s basically in the same ballpark as using the moon to kick yourself into a solar orbit, which while potentially doable at considerable extra cost for a GEO satellite, is completely impossible for the sort of smaller LEO and MEO satellites without an entire kick stage, tug or other propulsion which would at least for LEO probably weigh more than the satellite does.

Because the game they're asking for isn't a city builder, it's a city fixer. It's like the difference between playing the FIFA series and the Football Manager series.

Your comment ignores the primary point of their comment, they want to start with an existing city and fix it.

Would it be feasible to do something similar with OpenWRT opkg packages to support capturing weather radar (and weather forecasts and alerts?) data from digital FM radio with a USB RTL-SDR radio?

Python apps require a bunch of disk space, which is at a premium on low-wattage always-on routers.

OpenWRT's luci-app-statistics application supports rrdtool and collectd for archived stats over time (optionally on a USB stick or an SSD instead of the flash ROM of the router, which has a max lifetime in terms of number of writes)

I know, but this usage lulls people into a false sense of security because it’s “proven” to be safe.

I think it’s important to differentiate when discussing safety and risk. I can’t think of a better word, maybe safety “testing”, since this implies that the result hinges on the quality of the test and generally people are aware of the limitations of tests.
This is my experience with THC and it's definitely anxiety inducing! A good reason to avoid the drug. I imagine that with the proper mindset, and in the proper setting, short term memory usage might be less important or even a hindrance. I could see this as a boon when playing silly games, goofing off in the ocean, or maybe doing something akin to talk therapy, but for anything I currently enjoy doing, holding onto a thought and following it to logical conclusions is a primary necessity.

Sure, I don’t think the meaning of “artificial” is in question. Presumably the reason thomastjeffery said that there is no such thing as artificial intelligence, was not because he thought the threshold for it being artificial, had not been reached.

If you're going to comment on HN at least try and do better.

That question is nonsensical. A keyboard is not a computer; it's CONNECTED to a computer. This device IS a computer, and you would typically connect a keyboard to IT.

The Highest Paying Cities for Talent in 2023
To note, your bank money getting parked somewhere else because of X years of inactivity actually happens depending on where you live. It's not straight given to someone else, but it probably disappears in maintenance fees after a long enough time ?

Same for real estate: specific conditions need to be met, but solely having the land at your name isn't enough to guarantee you keep owning the property.

On cars, I assume you keep paying for the license plate even if you don't drive, or it's revoked and reattributed ?

Basically, reality has a bias against permanent passive ownership.

I'm laughing at the domain squatter that bought 900.ai, 99999.ai, and 1234567.ai

This has to be the worst possible thing to name your company.
[Deleted my comment. I don’t feel strongly about it and I was partially wrong.]
It's definitely not dead yet, nor is its fate sealed, but I am somewhat pessimistic about it long term. I would love to be wrong, though, and realistically it's a bit early to make any definitive statements about long term shifting priorities vs a temporary shift in focus. And obviously one developer will never make or break a project like this, but I think an important role that Andreas has/had is to be an advocate, recruiter, as well as just leadership to steer the ship a bit. Serenity needs to grow and gain new developers, and I fear that it might not be able to do that without a figurehead.
It might be possible, but I'm not sure whether a typical router would have enough CPU horsepower to do the processing required to demodulate the signal.

What does it mean for a society to be "hypersexualized"? What is the appropriate level of sexualization? How do you even measure levels of sexualization of a society? Is there some sort of scale?

People have been drawing naked pictures since they first figured out how to paint on cave walls. It's not going away. People have sex and are very interested in it. If they weren't we'd have died out as a species.
It isn’t the bank’s preferences. Rather it is forced by the liability bestowed by them by the government. They don’t get the benefit of safe harbor like ISPs.
Even if we take this unpublished study at face value, there's no evidence that the cause is incompetence - the fact that the US has the lowest level of deaths in hospital despite having a very low life expectancy for industrialised countries should be a red flag for that kind of thinking. It's far more plausible that the US has better figures on that metric because it denies many people - especially the poorest and most vulnerable people - access to medical care, so they die outside of hospital instead.
The German "underground" scene is just completely backwards and childish. They're so forward thinking and advanced that they've wrapped right around having experienced some sort of integer overflow and started caring deeply about how other people (strangers) dress all over again. Like being back at school. The "scene" is a joke.
Looks like that would be over 780 people hit by trains per year at that rate. I’m guessing that’s a couple orders of magnitude higher, haha. These bears have a problem on their hands.

> And stations have to be created in the middle of the street, a hazard for pedestrians.

Why? The NYC bus network closely mirrors the old streetcar network, and uses sidewalk dropoffs; there’s no reason why reactivated streetcars couldn’t do the same.

The point about integration with traffic is a reasonable one, but see below the point about civic value: NYC needs less traffic on its streets, and inducing behavior away from driving by taking up that space with a permanent streetcar line doesn’t seem like the worst approach to me.
The most likely reason is that you give off tourist vibes. My Berliner friend told me as such when I came to visit, we hit up some thrift shops so I could get some local threads and 'blend in'

In fact, when I got in one club a very cute german girl tried to talk to me on the dancefloor. But I didn't speak any German and she got angry, shouting "aaauuggh!! tourists!!!"

Also, for the clubs that forbid alcohol (hard drugs only!), they will refuse you if you are caught drinking in line or are visibly drunk.

Also, I was told to keep my mouth shut as they will sometimes refuse you if you speak English

At least this is how it was about 13 years ago. My friend was a self-described and un-ironic "hipster", who kept his finger on the pulse of the local underground, and of course he lived in Kreuzberg
Remind me of how in modern Irish, a prefixed t- appears before vowels in masculine nominative singular nouns. It relates to Proto-Celtic masculine nominative singular article *sindos. The t- is what remains of the d and s from Proto-Celtic:
an t-athair - the father
an t-úll - the apple
an t-each - the horse
an t-ospidéal - the hospital
These people are awful. I had similar happen to me.

You spend tons of time organizing something, and they show up and start complaining because it’s not diverse enough and by implication you (the organizer) are “the problem.”

I snapped on someone who did this to two of my events in a row, and they didn’t even attend. Just swoop in online and point out problems.

I told them they were uninvited from all future events. It’s not PC but fuck them.

Professional complainers should be uninvited. Underneath it all is an attempt to gain power in the laziest way possible (complaining) and to portray themselves as victims (more power).

I simply have no room for it. Had hundreds of happy people and one pathological complainer.

ONE.

I just told them not to bother coming and blocked them. All my problems solved.

If I were this maintainer, I would say: “I am enforcing the code of conduct which is no name calling on you, you are banned for life.”

Call someone a Nazi, that’s against the code of conduct. See ya.

edit I should add this is AFTER inviting THIS SPECIFIC PERSON to join a panel to help it become more diverse: they didn’t come and STILL complained about the panel I invited them to join not being diverse enough on Twitter.

Unity is a clown engine. I remember some guy benchmarked DOTS, against plain old C++ code with OpenGL, just like your dad used to write, and it was no contest, DOTS couldn't keep up.

You have to remember, Unity usually sets the bar very low for themselves, comparing their ancient Mono implementation (they still use the Boehm GC, written in the 1980s!), and when a shiny new performance 'fix' like Burst/DOTS drops, they proudly proclaim how much faster they managed to make things, never mind a modern .NET implementation, like Microsoft's CoreCLR would achieve the same performance without any proprietary tech, without any code modification.
Unless you expect to interact with celebrities/politicians/comedians/brands, you can follow them just fine from the numerous twitter mirrors.

The ones that stayed on Mastodon, I can interact directly. The ones that dropped out, I follow their mirror and I ping them on im/email/phone when something they posted is a good hook for a conversation.
Did not ever expect to see Jazzanova mentioned on HN.
You get downvoted but are describing a nice trend. In the old days all you had were stores and poachers. Who was who was easy to tell and the poachers had to suffer a loss. In the modern days, where say novelty sneakers can be bought via innumerable websites the price difference between stores and poachers must have come down. A smart poachers sells stuff that fell of the wagon at retail via pop-up websites. Anything Amazon sells will have fallen of a wagon here or there.

Counterpoint: Hacker News, CDMX EBM scene, goth scene, LA underground art scene, SF renegade rave scene, Latin bars, gay clubs like the EndUp, which have been open and welcoming since 1971, gay black scene, free software movement, gay Asian scene in any city, bear bars, salsa clubs, martial arts clubs, drag bars, anime scene, furry scene, hiking groups, Trekkies, adventurer clubs, punk scene, bicycle riders groups, astronomy groups, ball room dancing groups, central american danza cultural groups, alcoholics anonymous... Even prestigious universities have countless open proseminars where you can just walk in off the street to a graduate symposium. I've gone to many, you really just walk in the door.

I'd argue the majority of cliques and scenes are extremely accepting and people self filter. Having a discriminating door guy is just being an asshole.
Opera houses in general aren't elitist or selective at all. You can turn up looking like shit no problem, I certainly have. They're just happy that people have come along to enjoy the music.
