For another $1k, you can get an LCD conversion kit [0]! It looks like this manufacture created displays for industrial uses. I suspect they're high-quality monochrome displays, if that is the case. I found one reference that indicated 800 lines [1] at center with BNC input (woah!) [8] - the listing says model 2620 but the body text indicates 2640.

This isn't the same monitor, I don't think, but interesting none-the-less [2]. This page talks about how these displays were the top of the pack [3].

It looks like Conrac is now DATA MODUL [4] and they still make industrial displays today [5]. Looks like these monitors may have gone for $4-$7K [6]. You can look at other sources by searching for NSN 5820-01-458-2427, but I couldn't find anything more detailed -- this clearly has military uses in the US and NATO.

If you want, I'd suggest picking up the manual from eBay [7].

How to debug like a PRO using Neovim
A completely unenforcable concept, but an interesting thought exercise: if executives (and with that, SVP/VPs) were as likely to experience the recieving end of a layoff the same as those below them on the org chart, how would that affect how often they happen in the first place?

For instance, if the VPs and SVPs in charge of the toy division were guaranteed to be part of the layoff, do you think the calculus would have changed? You rarely hear about it actually having reprocusssions on the C-Suite or their immediate peers (VP / SVP).

Look at it from another angle: if the layoff has to happen due to poor planning or lack of direction etc. Thats set from the top but only the bottom layers of your company is affected by the layoff. Shouldn't actually be in the reverse, where executives, SVPs and VPs should be booted as a matter of course, as they are the ones that set the direction after all and supposedly "bare the responsibility" of the company.

This reminds me of a book I was reading, The Hard Things About Hard Things. Its an interesting book, full of alot of useful information, but one thing that grinded my gears is how he talked about layoffs vs removing executives (defined as VP and up)

With layoffs, he says to do it successfully, you need to train you managers to do the following:

- Be able toexplain briefly about what happend, and that it is a company rather than a personal [employee] failure

- Be clear how the employee is impacted and that the decision is non-negotiable

- Be fully prepared about the benefits and support the company plans to provide.

Okay, on the surface, this seems good, but the first two bullets are extremely specific and targeted, while the last one uses more lax language regarding benefits and support the company plans to provide. Which is to say, it does not say serverance, it does not say what good support should look like.

Follow so far? Okay, so its pretty open ended, particularly that last part.

Then, in the exact next chapter, he talks about firing an executive, and it is suppose to work as follows:

- Be clear on the reasons

- Use decisive language

- Have the severange package approved and ready

As you can see, clearly, to fire an executive, you must clearly provide a serverance package and make sure its approved and ready

In a nutshell, this is how they see it. The executive class does not play by our rules, and never has to take the same ownership the rest of us do, period. Its explicitly spelled out that the executive must have a severance package, approved and ready where as supporting frontline employees in a layoff is left to the readers imagination as to what you should be doing for benefits and support.

I want everyone to remember this. Ben Horowitz has said outloud that what we're all thinking is true. Executives see themselves as above non executives, and expect to be treated as such.

This is in a nutshell is why the average worker should never trust the executive class and should unionize
Higher level, this is why I support employees unionizing. Yes, it is not lolipops and rainbows. Yes, there is a change in dynamic. But if we're going to accept corporations are okay to act as psychopaths, then labor should organize to be the lawnmower the same way tech folks joke about Oracle. The knife should cut both ways.

Otherwise, management and shareholders are just going to keep operating in this manner and treating workers poorly and nothing will change.

> "As you know people, as you learn about things, you realize that these generalizations we have are, virtually to a generalization, false. Well, except for this one, as it turns out. What you think of Oracle, is even truer than you think it is. There has been no entity in human history with less complexity or nuance to it than Oracle. And I gotta say, as someone who has seen that complexity for my entire life, it's very hard to get used to that idea. It's like, 'surely this is more complicated!' but it's like: Wow, this is really simple! This company is very straightforward, in its defense. This company is about one man, his alter-ego, and what he wants to inflict upon humanity -- that's it! ...Ship mediocrity, inflict misery, lie our asses off, screw our customers, and make a whole shitload of money. Yeah... you talk to Oracle, it's like, 'no, we don't fucking make dreams happen -- we make money!' ...You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle."

Labor should try being the lawnmower instead of the lawn; "the beatings will continue until morale improves."
The Burroughs estate was Disney before Disney was Disney
It's easy to view it this way when you're a highly paid software worker, but the average worker in a plastic toy or board game factory is unlikely to have much runway so pretty much needs to start searching immediately with news like that.

Factory workers also are not going to be getting the kind of severance packages software devs get.
What are you talking about? Israel was attacked by several armies and conquered land as part of a defensive war, that is a completely legitimate capturing of that land.
Could you try to circularly pump a mixture between the two tanks and create some kind of filter in each tank?

The idea of circulating a mixture & taking one you need is for example how donating blood plasma platelets works. If we can separate fuel and pressurant without too much fuss, a similar non-propulsive technique for a cryonic fill might be possible?
When lawyers cost such obscene amount of dollars per each hour that they "work" it's scary to do anything other than routine as-fast-as-possible route.
I saw some of the incursion footage. How many of the hamas troops in the October 7 incursion were women? 0, from what I saw in the footage the only women involved were isreali victims getting kidnapped. Mostly of the incursion was done by males clearly in their 20s/30s. Perhaps few 19+, but I didn't see any kids participating in it either.

Sure, there might be some women helping out, but we can say it is mostly men, and 99% of the women killed, and most of the kids under 17 are victims of IDF's indiscriminate bombing, paid by our taxes.

If you want to defend war crimes, keep on going, but I feel sick how some goons in the tech community are justifying the killing by saying a '11 year old' is probably a hamas terrorist.
Apathy isn’t constructive.

In our lifetimes we have seen real improvements in voting systems. Washington has a successful vote by mail system as do other states.

It’s not hard to find examples in living memory of seismic shifts in law, even at a national level. Look at gay rights and weed legalization for example. The status quo would have been unthinkable in the 1990s.

Change comes from the bottom. Municipalities across the nation are implementing ranked choice. Get involved locally and prove your ideas work. The rest of us will take notice.

Also, I've seen the scam heater ad as well. It's obviously bogus, but unfortunately a lot of people will fall for it. I guess if the ad weren't driving sales, they wouldn't still be running versions of it.
Yup. Several people have commented that they planned on installing an EVSE ("charger") when they bought an EV but never bothered after finding out that 120V was enough. 120V will let you empty the battery on the weekend, commute and errands during the week and then have a full battery by Friday.

Discord Modernized MFA with WebAuthn
WebAuthn has landed in Discord for all users! In this post, we’ll talk about the engineering challenges we faced introducing WebAuthn to Discord and how we overcame them.
Netanyahu has in fact won less than 50% of the votes but due to a technicality managed to assemble a coalition with other parties that amounted to 64 of 120 seats in parliament (similar to Bush Jr. and Trump having won US elections despite winning less than 50% of the votes due to the electoral college). The latest polls show Netanyahu and his government with a less than 30% approval rating, this was hardly a slam dunk victory (and in fact Netanyahu replaced another prime minister who ruled between his terms when he barely won the November 2022 elections).
Did you not find the built-in voice-to-text and text-to-speech APIs to be sufficient?
Isreali-Palestinian history didn't begin on October 7th. The sentiment isn't a creation of that event, though obviously the attack influenced it. The sentiment is also partly a creation of years of right-wing politics and an ineffectual opposition.

It's an issue in many countries, as we (even on HN) throw humanitarianism away, and the study of it, we will of course lose quite a lot. What replaces it?
In the future their AIs are going to talk to our AIs. Because we need protection.

> The problem with humanity is we are really poor at recognizing all the ramifications of things when they happen.

Zero percent of humanity can recognize "all the ramifications" due to the butterfly effect and various other issues.

Some small fraction of bonafide super geniuses can likely recognize the majority, but beyond that is just fantasy.
Actually, not only does it work with live streaming, it's not an uncommon approach in a number of live streaming implementations*. To be clear, I'm not talking about low latency stuff like interactive chat, but e.g. live sports.

It's one of several reasons why live streams of this type are often 10-30 seconds behind live.

* Of course it also depends on where in the pipeline they hook in - some take the feed directly, in which case every frame is essentially a key frame.

Iddan - I get where you're coming from, and it's a very valid criticism to say that the West in general pays far more attention to Israel than to much worse conflicts.

That said, I don't think this is a valid criticism of HN. There have been plenty of threads about other wars, and there have been very few threads about Israel, actually.
A ceasefire without releasing hostages? There are still more than a 100 of hostages being held in Gaza to this day?
We're getting into pretty meaningless distinctions though. Anyone can take the work, give no credit, and use it however they wish. Which sounds a lot like public domain.

CC0 from Creative Commons does explicitly state "place them as completely as possible in the public domain." It does also acknowledge that it is not always possible to fully do so because of unrelinquishable moral rights and other reasons. https://creativecommons.org/public-domain/cc0/

To the original point, it may well make sense to license under MIT-0 or CC0 if they want to place a book in the public domain. The OSI's concerns about CC0 don't really apply to writing as I understand it.
YMMV: I agreed with the points, but found the depth to be rather minimal and the style to be completely off-putting.
I'm critical of Israel's handling of this conflict just as much as I'm critical of Turkey's response to Kurdish separatists. No one is held to impossible standards. Everyone deserves dignity
And some support the war Hamas rages despite the effect on the Palestinian people/civilians. Is that an other other side? This is complex, and we really can't describe this conflict as just having two sides.
I'm in the UK and I've not received a notification that the terms have changed. Is this because our law is more consumer-friendly?

> Maybe rockets wouldn't be shot if Israel would not illegally occupy territories.

Tell me you know nothing about this conflict without telling me you know nothing about it. Israel was inches away from just having to give the Palestinians their own state. Why then, did Hamas attack just before that? The answer is simple: it is and always has been about removing Israel. That's true for Hamas and all their supporters. They aren't interested in a two-state solution. So don't act like it's about Israel not being a nice neighbour.

unless something has changed recently, openstack is a horror to setup and administer.

the point of vmware is that is fairly trivial to go from a single server with some VMs, to a massive cluster with live zero-downtime migrations. (and have funky storage, get working snapshots and backups.)

Sure openstack can do that. but its non trivial to setup.
Isn't it possible to use LC3 over Bluetooth Classic HFP? And isn't LE audio advertised as flexibly supporting multiple streams, much better than Classic? That means, it's just bad implementations, not a principal limitation?

> do you support subsetting a data source -- only sync records matching criteria?

In a one-way sync from Postgres to Salesforce, yes, you can apply filters using a SQL statement, but we’re working on adding this to the Salesforce side as well as two-way syncs. From your perspective, how would you want to set these filters? A SOQL query, or something else?

> Do you support to/from different instances of the same connector (e.g. Salesforce to Salesforce)?

Yup, our infra is data-source agnostic! But Salesforce <> Salesforce is not heavily tested, so there may be some funky behavior with oauth tokens if you’re trying to connect objects from two different instances during onboarding. Curious what use case you have in mind?

> Can you perform any transformations like map over the data, normalize or denormalize tables, etc?

Besides the one-way SQL filter I mention above, we try to make field mapping easy between the sources by automatically transforming when necessary (e.g., transforming a Salesforce picklist to a Postgres integer and vice versa). But we’re working on allowing users to create more detailed field-level transformations in the next few months.

Thanks for the feedback! Totally hear you on SSL, we’ll move that to every tier.
> I had a close family member who spent the end of his life in the Federal custody for being part of it, and he wasn't even 'big time'. This was not long ago.

Very much so. I've known of people (actual people, not urban legends) who were working as small-time bookies in college (bets under $100, mostly). One started to take bets from non-students and for larger sums. After a few weeks, he got a call from the FBI. They told him it was just a courtesy call to let him know that 1) they knew about him and 2) he was starting to deal with some very very serious organized crime people, so perhaps his wisest choice would be pay out any bets he had taken so far, return any bets that he could, and hang up his hat before he ended up in prison or the ground.
It is absolutely impossible. There is no way to tell who are civilians and who are Hamas militants - they purposeful wear civilian clothing and hide amongst civilians.

If Israel were to let them through the border into Israel, there is no possible way to prevent Hamas militants from killing many many more people.

(Unless you mean to create temporary refuge camps heavily armed within Israel that would still be closed borders, which doesn't seem like an improvemnt over the current situation, if you know anything about the geography of the area.)

You didn't have to convert voltages all the time for things you did in a car until relatively recently. All the typical 12V stuff could've run at 48V no problem. By the time we wanted to put computers in cars and charge our cell phones, switching supplies were readily available. The only part of the system now that really benefits from lower voltages are semiconductors.
