To me, this sounds a lot like the directional flow of toilets flushing. I'd have to see this as an actual experiment before I can be convinced of what the webopedia page is claiming.

Check out my previous comment on the time a friend and I watch his TV upside down. There was zero difference that I remember.

Consider where most of the monitors are shipped from. Did they send "southern hemisphere" specific televisions and crt monitors? And what happens at the equator?

Could your monitor have been fritzed on the flight? Did it work normally when you brought it back?

This would actually be a fantastic YouTube video, whether it debunks or proves the claim being equally interesting.

That's the same argument the Trump family & corps are making in their losing civil fraud case - "we put in a disclaimer so it's on the reader to figure it out".

When the context, format, presentation, etc. all signal it's a factual report or document , a disclaimer doesn't cut it. (kind of signals that you are even more of an asshat)

I assume they're suggesting create a false identity, and pose as a foreign national illegally living in the United States.

It's a rather ...unconventional suggestion, that clearly was not thought out. There is a high risk someone doing that ends up stateless, i.e., with no documentation or paperwork establishing citizenship in any country. The US may arrest such a person at the border - and then imprison them - and then try to deport them back to their country of origin. But what is your country of origin? It may mean a stay in immigration detention indefinitely. There's no guarantee authorities would believe a claim of US citizenship at that point. Citizens who've gotten in that position (usually cases of mistaken identity and/or misbehaviour by US customs) have been deported, and they don't always make it home. It is a potentially Kafkaesque nightmare and I would not advise intentionally putting yourself in that situation.
Its better at avoiding negative headlines, which is not the same thing.
I'm also a digital nomad (an airbnb one, using the terminology from the original post), so I can clear some of those things up.

> Lack of Permanent Address: Difficulty in receiving mail, opening bank accounts, or completing certain official documents.Lack of permanent address and the legal issues that come with it.

I just put an address of some Hilton I stayed once. I never need to get any paper documents; if I do, I use DHL or other delivery service to actually get them delivered to me.

(No comment on issues related to sleeping in a vehicle — I don't even drive).

> Inconsistent Internet Access: Reliability and speed issues will cause work productivity and communication impact. It is already challenging when travelling between business hotels.

Most airbnbs have pretty good internet, and all have at least a decent one. Usually it's enough to just buy a local simcard to fix these issues.

> Healthcare Access: Navigating healthcare provider support across large distant locations.

I don't live and nomad in US, but in many other countries across the globe it's just easier to pay for healthcare services out of pocket. I've recently signed up for Safetywing, but when a visit to a (pretty well educated) doctor costs about $10 or is just completely free, I wouldn't even bother with it.

> Legal Issues with Remote Work: Withing the US some specific laws regarding remote work for non-residents in a certain state can impact your tax liabilities. Heck New York can even create tax liabilities for you even if do not live or work in the USA...

Also US-specific thing. I'm not a US citizen (but work for american companies), and not having a tax residence anywhere saves me a lot of money on taxes. I effectively pay just 1% on all of my income.

> Maintaining Work-Life Balance: Blurring lines between work and personal time, I would look like a load instead of a relief...

That's true for any kind of remote work, regardless if it's nomading or WFH. Upsides are worth it 100%.

> Equipment Safety and Maintenance: Risk of damage or theft to essential gadgets like laptops and cameras.

Theoretically yes, but somehow neither I not most of my friends who chose this lifestyle encounter this — it feels like you can have your stuff stolen from a coffeeshop next to your house just as easily.

> Accommodation Issues: Unreliable bookings, substandard living conditions, or scams.

This happens. But on the contrary to what HN crowd have been saying, I've found Airbnb support to be stellar at resolving those issues. I have checked in badly cleaned apartment once, and 20 minutes later I already had it reversed, with $400 of compensation.

> Travel Burnout: Constant moving looks like physically and mentally exhausting.

Yes, this is a thing and it sucks. But you don't waste this emotional energy — you spend it on acquiring valuable new experiences and memories that will be with you for the rest of your life.

Overall, the only reason I don't go around advertising this lifestyle to all my friends is because having a well-paying and remote-friendly profession that suits it is not a luxury most of them have.

I do not have personal experience on the job seeker side, but I do know some (2) people who have managed to get government jobs with a record.

I suspect the nature of your offense would make it harder or impossible, but the public sector is a weird place- they often have very specific scoring criteria that they must follow for hiring decisions and if criminal record is not part of it they really will not consider it (at least that is my interpretation of what one of my friends said.)
I just needed a feature of Pascal yesterday in one of my Rust libraries: ranged integers. I know, you can go about it in different ways, like structs with private fields and custom constructors, or just with a new generic type. But, having the ability to specify that some integer can only be between 15..25 built-in is a fantastic language feature. That's even so with runtime bounds checking disabled because the compiler would still complain about some subset of violations.

What an innovator and a role model. I wish I can be as passionate about my work in my 80's as him.
Absolutely. If anything, ChatGPT is saying it can't "take a deep breath". What a dumb prompt that was.

Curious to speculate about.

If you could temporarily redirect BGP at an arbitrary time, at diplomatic risk, what would be the best use of that?

Surely OpenNet/ClassNet/NIPRNet/SIPRNet/GWAN/JWICS aren't accepting BGP updates, where they even touch public network infrastructure.

And I can't think of anything outside those huge spheres that would be worth burning a capability like that on a lark.

Maybe bulk sensitive data transfer? I.e. some site-to-site backup?

Or you're just looking at the metadata of where-to-where, with the goal of finding future targets.

I'd go so far as to say all apparently exponential curves are actually sigmoid, but the asymptote of the sigmoid often increases itself (in another, longer-term sigmoid). But I don't think we're anywhere near the carrying capacity of weird shit happening; we're still firmly in the exponential-ish zone of human development.

This looks outstanding!

I'm a bit sad to say that some of the Rust GUI frameworks have lost me soley due to their awful text rendering. I shot up in my seat when I saw the login form demo. It actually looked good!

I'm also a huge fan of the reactive model. It feels very natural for developing UIs. The best implementation I've seen of reactivity in Rust is in the Dominator web framework (well, the author calls it a DOM library, but I believe framework is more appropriate). In case it piques your interest, Dominator's reactive primitives are available separately in the [futures-signals](https://docs.rs/futures-signals/latest/futures_signals/index...) crate.

I can't wait to give this framework a try!

Tech always comes and goes, but this is not MySpace. Google search is a skill, its so central to so many lives. And that means the breaking point has to be all that more extreme to even be a breaking point.
Nope. I'm still enjoying it. I'm getting as much done in 6 to 7 hours at home than I did in 8 to 10 hours at the office. Don't have to worry about getting up earlier to brave the commute, I can spend more time with my partner and child, and no one looks at me funny when I drop to the floor to do 50 push ups every 45 minutes or so.
Let's be honest the post wouldn't get clicks if there wasn't a Tesla involved.
sounds reasonable, but I can't tell you how combative it is if you're applying for a job in a state that forbids them from asking if you have any felonies, and there it is on the job application, staring you in the face.

so what are you going to do, tell them no? you won't get the job.
tell the truth? you won't get the job.
sue them? good luck. you'll need it and that does not get you the job and the settlement, if you were to win is years away, so there is no remedy. you start out combative, it's over.

there is frequently just no way to win since the ones paying are the ones not following the rules.

As a radio amateur substandard switch mode power supplies are a major source of annoyance in the amateur radio bands.

Unfortunately you can't go and talk to your neighbours about it if the SMPS is in space :-(

I feel a lot of sympathy for the radio astronomers - radio is very hard in this electrically noisy world, and the radio astronomers have some extremely sensitive equipment (much more sensitive than radio amateurs).

That's a good point really. Not many people realise that the majority of the population doesn't buy many creative works at all.

They'll only go to the cinema maybe once a month, buy perhaps a few video games and tabletop games a year if any, watch perhaps a few TV shows or films or streaming services every month, buy perhaps 10-12 books a year, and for many of them, not buy any paintings or display art at all.

And then unless it goes viral/gets picked up by the media/becomes a meme, it probably won't even get noticed by the general public. So you have to hope the right people find your work so that happens too...

I don't think that's what the author's intent might be. I believe the 4 pounder would be firing grape shot, not a large singular shot. So, the author is inducing you to picture that these, "cannons" shoot, not small bowling balls as you might imagine a normal cannonball to resemble, but a small sachet of marbles about the size of a juice box. One that fits in your pocket.
Something we did early on was to just get a rack of a dozen ci/test servers. These machines were really cheap since they can use consumer grade stuff. No UPS, no redundant PSUs, no raid, etc.
Most importantly they are always there and always “hot”: most runs they can just git pull rather than git clone. They already have tons of intermediate results like node/nuget modules cached. There is a bit of maintenance but unlike maintaining production servers, maintaining these is pretty easy. If you screw up nothing bad happens. When they act up, it’s not extremely urgent.

By the title, that's exactly what I was actually expecting. It's also what I'd prefer to work with.
For $9/month you would get a lot more features from the backup service. The interesting ones being File Sharing and Extended Version History. So it depends if you want those, as well as a nice web UI. And at 1TB the numbers get closer, at 2TB it becomes cheaper to use the backup service.

The main thing for me is legacy. In my will it is a lot easier to explain how to get files from the standard backup plan, rather than install a tool from Github etc.
You get it to talk with itself.

- pasive eavesdropping (not of encrypted contents, but who is connecting to who)

- hijacking plain http

- hijacking things like ssh where nobody pays attention to the mitm warnings

- potentially creating a new tls certificate to further do a later attack

Recently got a Synology and have been considering cloud backup needs. Mine would roughly be a terabyte, and so far my thinking is shaking out as:

For incrementally backing up laptop data, the process needs to run on my laptop anyway, so I may as well just use Arq.

For NAS data that changes frequently enough to desire incrementals, choose Synology Hyperbackup.

For NAS data that doesn't change frequently and can just be sync'd, choose Synology Cloud Sync.

For NAS data that you don't need locally and only need to archive, choose Synology Cloud Sync with one-way-sync. (Less hassle than AWS Glacier.)

As for the cloud provider itself, I'm think I'll probably go with Wasabi, at $6/TB. I heard that Backblaze occasionally has weird gotchas that surprise people, like auto-deleting files from your backups that you delete locally, so I just feel cautious.

Main things giving me pause: minimum block size on Wasabi (I'm sure some of my files are smaller; don't know what sticker shock I'll experience), and unsure why I should consider a command line tool like restic instead of the above.

This FUD always comes up from people who support the GPL and it's so annoying. Let's say that Maestro takes off and gains popularity, and then someone decides to turn it into a commercial OS. What, exactly, is supposed to be so bad about that? Nobody loses a damn thing - if you want to use the MIT licensed original project, it hasn't gone anywhere. And for those who find that there's value in the commercial version, they have that available to them too. Everyone wins in that scenario.
