No, the Stonecutters was a parody of the Freemasons. Ironically, there has never been anything the Catholic Church has published more formal statements denouncing, than Freemasonry. Not even the big ones like Abortion have as many.

So much so, Francis released a formal response to a dubia (formal questioning) reaffirming that Catholics cannot be Freemasons just last week - even though the Freemasons represent a silly social club now, compared to what they used to be.

If you mean the system shown in the illustration in the article, the tether's orbit does change: the illustration shows the tether's orbit changing after it catches the payload and again after it releases the payload.

What is weird to me is that the tether's trajectory is shown as curving upward instead of downward. That doesn't make sense to me.
It's been with me for 20+ years now, originally triggered by a concert in Paradiso in Amsterdam that I got free tickets to on account of repairing a bunch of cabling under the stage. The next day there was a really loud buzz on top of everything else that only slowly went away. After that it periodically recurred, usually right after exposure to some loud noise (especially: grinder, that one does it every time). I do what I can with ear protection to keep what I've got (which is a slowly losing battle), without any sound around me there is this very high pitched whine and with some low level masking sound that becomes manageable.

But e5 on the piano played loud is an instant trigger, that particular frequency is really not working for me. Never made any link with antibiotics but if I ever have to do a cure I'll be sure to pay attention. What mechanism are you concerned about? Is this a well known thing?

It can and does. I had a 2021 Ford Transit with a non working front passenger turn signal. I figured at best maybe a bad assembly, at worst, maybe something was up with lighting module.

Nope. Turns out the light shorted and killed my cluster while it was at it. It was under warranty so no cost there, but it would’ve easily set me back almost $2k for parts and labor.

I work on cars a lot, and if I wasn’t a software engineer, I’d be a mechanic (I’m actually going to be opening a restoration shop in the next few years). Basically every system on the CAN bus is integrated with every other system and even if they aren’t, there is a ton of cross pollination of systems you’d never expect.

That same van had a feature that would turn down the a/c blower if you received a phone call so as to not be too loud. Neat feature but i was just counting the days before that somehow cause my radio, a/c or car control module to go belly up.

I don't think we have very many treatments that are 100% efficacious and durable for most conditions, even ones that are generally considered curative.

If you take antibiotics-- sometimes it doesn't seem to work at all, and some other times the infection comes back after the cessation of treatment. This is true because of some reasons that are well-understood, and others that aren't.

Yes, most cancers are worse on these metrics than most uses of antibiotics, but not always ridiculously so. There are cancers with 5 year survival rates of >95%, and with very low recurrence rates after 5 years.
...but that is what happened. Ford designed a car that bricked itself if that failure mode occurred. Whether it was born out of malice or incompetence does not matter.
Your explanation may well be the right one, never figured on that but it makes good sense.

The transmission issue bit me a while ago, I had a transmission rebuilt and as a part of the service they replaced an electronics board that had some exposure to lubricant on account of a broken seal. But it was keyed to the engine of the car and we had a really hard time getting the car to recognize the rebuilt transmission, in the end the old board was put back in and everything worked flawlessly. But that was a ton of extra work. ('97 MB E-class kombi). Lesson learned there, 'if it works don't fix it'.
I think it's less of a concern for someone like you where it was brought on by loud noise vs someone like me where it's likely due to an imbalanced microbiome where taking antibiotics could potentially damage your microbiome further, leading to worsening tinnitus.
It mentions that the data is processed locally.
I checked the network requests, it does save some data. It included the top channels, num videos watched, and a bit of watching habits.
Would be great to have something like this open-source which is completely browser based.

If resistance differs among any of six coils, halt.

That sounds like a software issue to me. It prevented him from replacing a single faulty coil, and required him to buy and replace all six at the same time. So that's dinging him with dealer part markup plus 5x the dealer part price!

This was unclear to me as well.

I think the article is talking specifically about downloading and running scripts for working around a particular site dynamically, such as Youtube ad blockers.

That said, I don't know if this really is a technical block from e.g. adding a script tag to a YouTube page to pull in a third party resource. My impression was that it was blocking arbitrary scripts specifically within the extension context, and not in the browser context.

Yeah, that's a fair point. But normally standards imply functionality. And if something's useful enough that people are inventing creative ways to achieve it, it would likely be standardized, if there's a process to do so. So, the issue about a standard process remains.

It's not really possible to separate that from functionality.

Your point about the potential rigidity of standards is well taken. However, it’s important to note that a standard, by its nature, doesn’t necessarily have to be rigid and inflexible in a way that hinders progress or creativity. Standards can be designed with adaptability in mind, providing a stable foundation while still allowing for innovation and flexibility. This balanced approach ensures that standards serve as helpful guidelines, not as constraints that stifle growth or possibilities.

Your final point about the practical realities where standards rubber meets the road, so to speak, is also a good one. But there's a distinction between the type of standards you might be referring to, such as in manufacturing or quality assurance, and web. In the former, standards indeed can produce this kind of regulatory capture or bloated compliance industry, and associated restriction on innovation and competition. And on the other hand, the type of standards that we mean when we talk about the web, even though it's the same word, I think they're very distinct in fundamental ways.

Although they share the same terminology, web standards tend to be more about enabling interoperability, innovation, and accessibility, rather than imposing restrictive regulations. However, restrictions do occur and they are sometimes abused, seemingly by big vendors to enhance their value capture by penalizing alternatives in the name of “user safety”. In that sense, web standards can share the “corruption of standards” which I think is invoked by your last point.

> obvious to the average automotive engineer trying to solve the problem

That isn't the criteria by which non-obviousness is evaluated.

In addition to that, a lot of patents that seem obvious to those not experienced in reading and evaluating patents have subtle differentiation in the claims that narrow their scope in a manner sufficient enough to gain admission.

IANAL, yet, I have read and analyzed thousands of patents, filed dozens (with the help of patent attorneys) and have taken a couple of courses on patent prosecution from the USPTO and other sources.

Having said that, as an engineers, I do think that a huge body of patents ought to be summarily thrown out. I feel that a massive number of patents don't have one iota of real invention in them. This Rivian patent might very well be one of them.

In a lot of cases patents such as this one are filed and just to get to the freedom-to-operate threshold. In other words, to defend against being told that you can't do what you are doing because someone else has a patent that might cover it. This is how we end-up with millions of bullshit patents for things that just don't look like true invention to anyone in the field who has more than two functioning neurons in their head.

There's invention and then there are patents. The mistake I made as a young engineer was thinking that the two were equivalent. They are not. At all.

Sometimes you get better from a sickness, but it stays idle in your body and resurfaces later. If you get chickenpox as a child, it'll stay in you and eventually come back as shingles when you're an adult.

Others like herpes are lifelong afflictions whose symptoms can clear up, become inactive and eventually reactivate and flare up again.

Cancers can be like that too.
Not exactly. Edge is fork of Chrome and diverged a lot from actual Chrome. You can load Manifest v2 extensions in Edge while it's not feasible in Chrome

While not easy for me to ask for assistance, I have been working on my solo projects for the past 6 months, funding myself from saved wages. The oil in the lantern runs thin, metaphorically speaking, and any assistance would be greatly greatly appreciated. I am working on a nonprofit storefront for musicians to sell their music, for which we will take no platform fee for the first $1000/mo. in revenue. I find that this aim is something that drives me since I have a ton of musician friends who would tangibly benefit in their lives from something like this were it available. So I am working on it diligently. I will likely have to pick up some sort of shift work and code part time, work a delivery job part-time, until ends are meeting properly. If you would like to help that would be super amazing.
TLDR: 'Space junk' needn't just be tracked & dodged, or de-orbited; some of its materials & mass could be repurposed to remain of use in orbit. In particular, some large existing masses that would otherwise need to be safely de-orbited, like the ISS, could become anchors for the 'skyhook' method of moving other payloads from high-altitude into orbit, via long tethers extending downward from the anchors.
They want to add automatic braking laws for that, right? I wonder how statistics will change when there are no longer any cars that can't auto brake sold?

The article specifically mentions "filter lists" being subject to review time.

> All updates, even to benign things like a filtering list, will need to happen through full extension updates through the Chrome Web Store.

> Is a filtering list update, which is essentially just a list of websites, really something that needs to be limited by the "no remotely hosted code" policy?

> So since all filter list updates now need to go through the Chrome Web Store, how long does a review take?
Probably not. Most of the water runs off the dishes. A very thin film remains that evaporates in the dry cycle, and even at that a lot of it will bead up and run off completely.
Ask HN: Which Wireless Carriers Protect Against SIM Swapping & Port-Out Attacks?
I've been a Google Fi customer for a long time, and one of the pros is that you need to log in to your Google Account to make service changes (plus getting a hold of support is difficult, which is good in this context). However, I'm trying to move away from Google services and want to use Fastmail on iOS instead of Gmail on Android, but Google Fi requires the use of a Google account (e.g. for the Fi app, which provides critical functionality IIUC).

So to make a long-story short, I'm looking for another wireless carrier, but I'm concerned about SIM-swapping attacks (I know, I shouldn't be using SMS-based 2FA, but many services fallback to it and don't allow this to be disabled).

So, which carriers offer some kind of protection against SIM swapping, ideally something more than a 4-digit PIN that's texted to you (looking at you Mint)? During my research, I found https://www.efani.com/, but this seems like overkill for a non-high profile person.

I'm based in the US.

Thanks in advance.

Really not sure about this dude’s, like… thing, but I absolutely agree that cars have reached a point of almost complete unmaintainability. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing if they were engineered in a fault tolerant way, but they aren’t. Their electrical systems are brittle as dry spaghetti, completely finicky and relying on very small margins to prevent basically frying everything.

I have a 1987 Toyota pickup, a 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser, a 1989 BMW 325i and a 1974 BMW 2002, a 2022 Toyota Tacoma and I used to have a 2021 Ford Transit.

Of all of those cars, the only one that had electrical issues was my Transit. Twice in fact. Once right after I bought it. The cluster went belly up. Then again with the driving lights on the left side of the van which would intermittently not work. Dealer couldn’t figure it out. I couldn’t figure it out.

They wanted to start playing the game of just start replacing everything until the lights work again. Knowing the quality of modern Ford mechanics, I opted out knowing they’d probably break something else in the process of playing whackamole with my car. It wasn’t a serious issue, just obnoxious.

Modern cars that have electrical issues cannot be fixed. Whoever is responsible for this change of things should be dragged out and shot. It’s criminally wasteful.
That's quite a luxurious config!

Assuming no other chrome-specific vulnerabilities, the same PoC can also be implemented for Firefox because it allows temporary installation of unsigned addons. Besides, I'm not arguing that extensions can't be malicious.

Also, I fail to see how the existence of a malicious extension PoC translates "Chrome definitely has a problem with malicious browser extensions". I'm sure you're right about malicious actors not overlooking extensions, yet here we are with virtually everyone using chrome and no wide-spread security issues to speak of. Proofs and pudding.
I used it and it almost progressively updated too often - like cell by cell, so it wasn’t very pretty. So you kind of had to know when to use it and when not to.
