This is such a weird topic in the ham community. The reason this restriction exists has nothing to do with the retro-justifications used by the community.

For a long time, the US government genuinely feared that ham radio would be used for espionage. It had listening stations across the nation to monitor all communications. It flat out shut down the entire service (!) during WWII. And it came up with the idea that you have to communicate in the open, and that no form of obfuscation or encryption is permissible.

And then hams came up with this roundabout explanation that actually, it's good that you can't have privacy. No matter that it holds back a hobby that is by all usage metrics dying, and that there are many countries where encryption is allowed and doesn't lead to any terrible outcomes.

Privacy is useful in hobby uses. Maybe you want to talk to your spouse without a nosy neighbor listening. Maybe you want to periodically beacon your GPS location without the whole world knowing. There are so many cool things you can do, and there is spectrum that is... quite frankly, largely dead right now, and if you don't encourage new uses, it will be reclaimed by the government.
The most common case people run into: I want to be able to interface with literally any other communication technology in common use without having to strip TLS.

The basic case: Alice wants to talk to Bob and would rather not have their crazy neighbor listen in and threaten violence because psychosis (Don't believe me? Hang out on the fun parts of the HF spectrum).

The public service use case: a disaster occurred, I need to send medical information to a known recipient. Other countries have allowances for this but the US does not.

The because it's literally unenforceable anyway case: yeah, go after noise sources that don't have an ID but prove to me my shitty CW transmitter with a trillion ppm of phase noise isn't actually broadcasting encrypted PSK within pulses.
Many don't have homes and the shelters don't allow drug use.

In Christianity, this is theologically explained as "God is good and the source of all good, his will is good and to go against his will is therefore bad". Catholics throughout history have written about it in depth (sometimes like REALLY in depth).

It also follows that if God made the universe, and the universe has goodness in it, then God either created goodness too or he IS goodness. Darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God. Therefore, God is good.

Too bad we believers have done such a terrible and easy to criticize job of being Christlike. I can't blame anyone for saying Christianity has too much baggage for them to even want to believe.
I'm focusing on amateur leagues and amateur teams.

In fact, I'm an amateur player and I'm in a team that plays every single week. We collect the videos on our own and process them to have our analysis and make decisions. It's really low cost since we use our smartphones and don't need the analysis in real-time.

By now we're building a platform where you upload your videos and access your analysis, in contrast to others, we are not focusing on video recording.
I am not so sure.

This is like saying you lose on lottery because the state always wins in total. Money wise yes but when you have a lottery ticket you entertain yourself with hopes and can dream about what you'd do with the megabucks. If you feel good for a while because of it ... did you really lose?

Same with poker. Sure, you can only win if someone else loses but what if they had fun?

In other words, is going to the cinema a net loss?
Seems irrelevant. Who cares about the bubble color?
I did, and I'm trying to put more time into poker at the moment. Maybe I'm still enthusiastic
> Saying that models can’t automatically generalize from B to A when B is vastly underrepresented in the dataset feels rather obvious and not so much a curse as a description of how neural nets function

More importantly perhaps, it's not how people (at least non AI/ML research types) typically think they work, and much of the handwaving and hype around it isn't helping improve that.
Yah, I know from friends at ford and vw that there's still vxworks and qnx, but even there, good grief, a-b with confirmed boot is about as basic as you can get.

I confess I've seen incredible sloppiness about when a confirmation is done (too early, including in the initial init stages which is way too soon) and watchdogs (spawn off a process that has a while loop stroking the wd - just absolutely pointless).
Most fringe languages are vanity projects that address a limited number of use-cases.

There are always language specific features that may reduce a given problems implementation complexity, but it often depends how much time people are willing to commit to "reinventing the wheel". If you find yourself struggling with support scaffolding issues instead of the core challenge, than chances are you are using the wrong tool.

Likely not their code.

OTA is generally developed by tier 1, so this is probably a bug in the tier 1's code. (Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, etc are common tier 1s in this space.)

iMessage has people without an associated phone number, so you need the so-called "blue bubble" in order to talk to them that way, for example if they only use it from macOS.

Russel does not conclude that Jesus was a great moral teacher; he rather concludes that some (3 specifically called out here) of his teachings had good moral value while disagreeing with most of the rest.
Fair pushback on the definition of monopoly.

But my main point stands— the lawsuit is against google. If Google is not allowed to pay Apple because of their monopoly status, does that mean MSFT still could pay Apple? Is the goal of this lawsuit just to give Bing a better rate? It just seems weird to focus on Google here when Apple seems to be the more actionable company to sue, since Apple actually controls the market of “default search engine on iOS”.
I don't think it's either. The PR machine was screaming loudly about the astronauts' gender coming up to the spacewalk. So, it just carried over.

It'd be weird to start trying to cover that up just because people might make jokes some find distasteful.
Because Facebook is in the business of Facebook, not protecting its users.

Yes they will, because translation dictionaries with "blacklist" predate the advent of digital computers. QED.
The downvotes I received for my comment are proof that those things don't seem to matter to the faithful.

It's received as an attack on their beliefs, but it's anything but -- simply that the relationship between each of us and our God(s) is of a personal nature and their right to worship is no more valid than other's right to abstain.
How is a lack of encryption “crippling “ the hobby?

DMR is used without encryption as are other commercial modes.

The point if the experimental nature is that it is open.
very different from my perception - from unusual davids approach was to how the rails team formed through Toby and the others, merging with that other frameworks... so many small bits of history that are hard to digg up anywhere

I wouldn't mind it being longer but it's great they were able to put it together
The secret is there's already tons of encrypted communications on the bands because of cheap chinese DMR radios that unlicensed teenagers use for airsoft and the like. It has yet to ruin ham radio and nobody has even noticed enough to attempt enforcement.
A $2000 USD laptop would depreciate to nothing over five years so that is an expense of only $400 USD per year.

At a moderate $80k USD developer salary, the laptop costs only 0.5% of that. And this is the main tool you depend on to earn an income. For an underpaid junior developer earning $40k it's still only 1% of their income.

10% of an average developer salary is something like $8k per year. What laptop costs $8k per year? That's $40k after five years. Are you confusing a laptop with a new Mercedes or what?

Laptops are a business expense for a developer. This is how you need to think about it.
There will be an employee discount. Amazon will also offer cheap housing. Do they own farms yet?
The lawn darts were sharp and a bit hard to control. Basically like throwing a giant knife up in the air. Guns and bows have fairly well established training and safety regimes (i.e don't point them at someone), and model rockets get ignited 30' away

But throwing a dart high in the air and hitting a wandering 2 year old actually did happen, and there was no real attempt to only their the darts in one direction
I hope they broaden the criteria to include AI-voiced videos. I am often suggested shorts that seem interesting from the thumbnail and title but as soon as you click it's an AI voiced and scripted video using stock footage that is just pointless and awful.
Police violence is regulated and codified. It’s a monopoly, so there is little need to do a ‘race to the bottom’ between different police forces (for instance), as long as they can win against folks like criminals.

In a black market, violence is a competitive advantage in many cases. The most violent has the most ‘authority’ (can assert the most control), so in a competitive environment there are strong incentives to be the most violent. Too violent for other players to want to mess with.

It’s why cartels, warlords, etc. end up becoming so terrible.

In non-tournament settings, every dollar you win at poker comes out of the pockets of another player at the table. It's truly a zero-sum game, as adding up the gains and losses of players at the table will result in zero.

In contrast, tournament games (chess, golf, tennis, WSOP, esports, etc) may have significant entry fees, but at a professional level the total winnings are significantly more than the sum of all entry fees. Generally the excess money comes from corporate sponsors or viewership fees. The entry fees can result in some players walking away with less money than they started, but I don't think this is common outside of tournament-play poker.

The most popular professional sports (soccer, football, baseball, etc) have players on salaries. Those players often also get performance bonuses, either for entire-team results (winning the championship) or personal results (number of games played, statistical thresholds, etc). But they're all getting paid _something_ win or lose.
What streaming service falls back to lower bitrates and stays there? YouTube and Netflix are both usually very aggressive at switching back up to the higher bitrates as soon as it detects the connection has recovered to higher speeds.
There is no restriction on encryption, just a restriction to not obscure the meaning.

Tried it. Not bad actually, can't see the type annotations from the Rust lsp though. I see one warning so I imagine annotations are at least partially supported.

Also I can't jump to my jumped-from point when pressing "go to definition" via Ctrl+T when using vim bindings.
> a disaster occurred

In the case of emergency, the restrictions on your license no longer apply. You can use whatever means necessary to establish the desired communications.
Setting aside the issue of Google being the default search engine as a result of these payments, this is missing a major effect of these payments that is even more significant.

While what Google is paying companies like Apple for is technically just to make Google the default search engine, it's actually having the effect of making these companies (and particularly Apple) not bother to develop their own search engine because it's so profitable for them to just take the money from Google.

Apple is a company that usually prefers to develop its own services rather than use third party services (e.g. see maps), so it's highly likely that it would have created its own search engine by now if it wasn't getting so much money from Google.

If in effect Google is paying companies not to develop search engines (even if they aren't specifically agreeing not to do so), that seems like a pretty big issue when search engines are such an essential part of the internet.
They're used on the ham bands all the time, you just don't notice.

You're allowed to send encrypted traffic to a remote controlled vehicle. Solution: put wheels and servos on your transceiver, and hack together a means to move and steer it via radio signals. It is now a remote controlled vehicle. Then maybe just send some encrypted data and voice along with the occasional command to steer and accelerate.

Troll comment, mostly, but reading the text of the regulations it might be viable.
How would one distinguish legal traffic from illegal? If encrypted communications were to be allowed, what is stopping people using the amateur bands for commercial use? This is the main concern of hams, not that it's good that you can't have privacy.
The closest agreement you're likely to get is that a person existed who was a model for the accounts that follow.

Those radios are very low power, so they don't really get in anyone's way.
So most videos from smartphones have to be labelled now because they are almost all enhanced in some way.
The craziest shrinkflation for me has been loaves of bread. I have a toaster press thing where you place two slices of buttered bread with some cheese or something in between and then you compress it all between two heated plates. The appliance is about 10+ years old now.

The bread used to be too large for the appliance and would spill out the edges making the press 'crimp' the bread so all the liquid cheese would stay within. Nowadays the bread I place inside does not even cover 4/5ths of the plate. Feels like a 30-40% reduction in area of my bread and its like 2x as expensive. The cheese spills out the side and causes big cleanup problems.

The west has fallen.
Pretty accurate, although I do sense some irony in his comment given that OpenBSD continues to use C and their 'solution' to memory bugs is 'add a bunch of shit to the kernel for when it blows up.'

If software prevents me from performing a simple action on my files on my machine (unless this is the specific intended function I had for the program) it is, in the simplest sense of the term, malware. It has done me malice. People pay to be harmed, go figure.

I asked a bunch of teen to 30+ year old friends and family, and every one would say that for the purposes of dating, they would require iOS usage due to the perceived probability of an Android user being an incompatible match being too high.

Planes will be fine; but many of those things actually will happen as a result of Y2038. Embedded systems with ancient versions of Linux will stop being able to verify certificates, and I bet there are some digitised pumps that rely on that.

>Yeah. The part that gives me goosebumps with that proposal is: as an author of some not very popular packages, what do I do? Is it my job to package and promote my packages on Debian, redhat, homebrew, and all the others? Do I need usage before they’ll pick it up? Sounds like a chicken and egg problem. And doing all that packaging work sounds like a boring, time consuming job that I don’t want.

Github premium (or similar) will have an army of AI builder bots that spin up VMs and modify your codebase until it works, then send you PRs to approve. People would pay a ton for that service. All your projects, automatically maintained and packaged.

Live poker is still quite soft. While you do have to be better compared to years past, it's also far easier to get better because you can study solvers. I used to be a "good but not great" online player, but the extent to which you could truly understand hands was limited due to the limitations of the software at the time (mostly equity calculators that could not truly calculate EV). That changed with the release of Piosolver in 2015 that lets you calculate the EV of various strategies and give you the "correct" answer assuming various assumptions. Those assumptions are always wrong but it's still informative in the "all models are wrong, some are useful". I used to "plateau" in my undertsanding of the game but you no longer plateau because the game can now be understood at a more complete level.

Live poker will always be soft because there will always be plenty of people there to have fun and gamble no matter how much software exists. Furthermore, only a slim minority of players even actively trying to win actually put serious effort into studying (see also, dan luu's post on how it's relatively easy to reach the top 5% of any endeavour, even if very difficult to reach the top 1%).

I can't help but use the opportunity of poker on the front page of Hacker News to note that I have a strategy blog and training app on this exact topic:

www.livepokertheory.com

There's a lot of beginner to advanced strategy articles on applying practical solver outputs to live poker games as well as a preflop training based on solver generated preflop charts. Poker is currently my only significant source of income and I "eat my own dogfood" on this site so I'm very incentivized for it to be good!

Two world wars made a lot of people nihilistic and may have even spawned the existential philosophies of Camus, Sarte, and Beauvoir. Camus considered life absurd and meaningless and the only thing to do was keep living just as a big middle finger to the absurd.

> And where are they more likely to be hit by one? Probably in a denser populated area with heavier traffic.

Data doesn’t support this.

> For example, pedestrian and bicyclist deaths and deaths at intersections are more prevalent in urban areas, whereas a larger proportion of large truck occupant deaths and deaths on high-speed roads occur in rural areas. Although 20 percent of people in the U.S. live in rural areas and 32 percent of the vehicle miles traveled occur in rural areas, 40 percent of crash deaths occur there.

> Regardless, you have to make cities a desirable and affordable place to live for this to work at scale. You can’t just fix it at the transportation infrastructure level

I agree with this which is why my original post was talking about multiple points.

Need changes at urban planning level, zoning, getting rid of hostile building codes (ie, parking minimums), making roads narrow, reducing dependency on cars/highways, re-investing in high quality public transportation.
