Additionally, the A380 finds itself in a weird spot currently.

Passenger airlines are moving away from behemoth airframes to more modern, efficient widebodies such as 787, 777, A330, A350. Freight carriers don't enjoy the restrictions that come with the A380, conversions to freight-only are expensive, and the extra load capacity isn't as useful as it might seem for standard routes. The A380 finds itself in a position where the available market is very small and getting smaller by the day.
There are infinite examples of wrongthink and ignorance on the internet. Why does this particular one merit a story?

I don’t believe it does, and this is propaganda.
React-Three-Fiber is quite popular too and has an active development community more around 3D less XR but not impossible and people are working on it. Triplex is an R3F editor I have not looked at lately but was adding features last time I did. Good luck with this I think everything Immersive Web is going to just get more important as the optics we have access to keep getting better faster stronger cheaper !
During my last trip to Fujian China, I became fascinated by the Mandarin word that sounds like, "schma." My wife was born there, and she had told me it meant, "what." But this time, I was really listening to how the word was being used, and it occurred to me, it was being used somewhat like "donc" in French. (Which my French teacher in high school told me was untranslatable.)

When I realized, that, my reaction was, "What!?"

After our trip, I became obsessed with the word for receipt: "fapiao." I thought my inability to tell the difference in the tones was hilarious, but now she refuses to say the word in front of me at all! This is also hard for me to understand. As far as I'm concerned, she's pretty much just saying, "ma" to me 4 times in a row! There's a difference, but it's very difficult! Why is my befuddlement and amusement at that so annoying? There's this Taiwanese comedienne who was talking about being annoyed at her western boyfriend not being able to tell, so apparently that's a thing.
Right. The O-1, the "extraordinary ability" visa, is easily confused with the EB-1, sometimes called the "Einstein visa." The latter is for those seeking permanent residency, and the former is not. The EB-1 became notorious a few years back in some circles when it was pointed out that the first lady had gotten one for modeling, but like this article points out, the criteria to get one is not as insurmountable as it might seem from the official examples, which will suggest things like Olympic medals, Pulitzer prizes, etc. Being on magazine covers and making a lot of money makes for a pretty solid case to acquire one.
The eMac has the best CRT screens I ever used. It was a Sony Trinitron tube, but better than the Sony monitor I had used on PCs
I guess I don’t really see this as hacker news material. Popular media aggregators tend to promote these kinds of statement art projects. I suppose I’m a little weary and wary of it all. I do not need a sanctioned individual—that we must know an Artist or Philosopher did this—to command some reaction from me on a rather tired topic.

One might argue that the fact we still argue over something shows the need for such art. Perhaps some people could use that slightest nudge. But I find these works often subtly disingenuous, and maybe serve better to reinforce a crowd’s own thinking. Like I heard taking shallow versions of opposing views tends to just strengthen already held beliefs, might some art be the same?
Thick Market Externalities and the Persistence of the Opioid Epidemic [pdf]
Interesting theory.

Thought the opioid epidemic is old news, I only recently became aware that it is:

- much bigger than other big problems (e.g. suicide, homicide, and of course tiny problems that get more press like school shootings or terrorism).

- still increasing in size steadily

I think that's implicit in this. . . a lot of us have held Google in high regard for a long time, knowing that they pioneered a lot for modern big tech companies while also staying cool in the eyes of the nerds.

Not anymore. They feel like a 21st century IBM. I've said this for a long time, if you could send me back in time 15 - 20 and describe what the world of cloud computing would become and then you asked me who would be the leader in that world in 2024. . . I would have said Google.

Not Amazon and definitely not Microsoft.

tl;dr like a lot of folks, I used to think quite highly of Google and now. . .meh.

In the 1000-active-user forum I managed, the small subset of ppl who feel ownership of the community (maybe 20 in my case) ABSOLUTELY read the CoC. it's a small minority, but those who read it are often prominent and engaged ppl, and they lean on it to make decisions and advocate for actions under their spheres of influence. Not everyone needs to read something in order for it to be impactful

GrapheneOS is literally the only thing that's keeping me on android. It has been really realiable for me, way more reliable than Samsungs or Google Pixels Android ROM.

I had expected this to tweak colors or margins to make them compress better when passed through brotli or gzip. What was done instead is cool too.
The question is how much unrestricted donations would the Linux Foundation get if they offered directed donations as well. They might not get enough unrestricted funds to pull this.

It might also not look good on them if they used the unrestricted donations in a very unbalanced way to counter restricted donations the way you describe, so they might get less unrestricted donations in the future.
A380 burns around 4,500 gallons of jet fuel an hour (on average-ish) so that's about $25,000/hour to operate in fuel alone.

That's where they get ya! You can buy a much more reasonable 6-8 seater luxury jet for a few hundred thousand [1] because they burn $2k-3k of fuel an hour. You can even buy an old fighter jet for $340k [2]! Cheapest operating cost there is $1k per hour.

I think we actually agree a lot and I appreciate your reflection on voting systems and democracy.

I agree with you that FPTP is democratic, and that you get groups who are over-represented (such as your example with SNP).

I respect your point about deficiencies with alternative voting systems as seen in other countries in Europe, and do distrust anyone that promises a panacea in general.

I couldn't agree more about being well-informed and actually voting.

I also agree with your earlier points that I didn't mention in my other comment, about other recent anti-democratic measures (specifically Voter ID), and your particularly prescient point about a partial driver of Brexit.

That last point is something that I've thought about a lot, and I think it's worth pondering more.
I don't personally use either anymore, but my anecdotal experience helping people getting into Linux is that Arch has been a lot less maintenance than Pop!_OS. Less experienced users just seem to wind up unknowingly getting themselves into a lot more trouble on Ubuntu variants, and before you know it there's some unbelievably convoluted situation where apt is locked up trying to resolve an impossible conflict. I understand that more than likely, if I knew how the problem was created, I could untangle it quicker. But my experience of being dumped onto a machine and trying to debug it, I absolutely hate how horribly tangled up apt can get.

Of course you can hose your system on Arch pretty easily, but it's not like it's difficult to hose your system with Debian or Ubuntu variants. The sneakier thing is that on Debian/Ubuntu variants, there will often be tools, be they third party repositories or even utilities included with the OS, that will make certain bespoke changes to your system for the sake of e.g. installing proprietary drivers, and the combination of those changes will leave you with a snowflake system that may or may not explode when you go to do something complicated (like upgrade major versions.) Whereas with Arch, _a lot_ of the things that you can do that will hose the system will _feel_ like things that will hose the system, and a lot of the scary-looking problems are surprisingly easy to resolve.

Arch shouldn't be any better since obviously, you still need e.g. proprietary drivers or non-standard packages, right? But in my experience, using the AUR to grab those things yields a very good success rate with a low chance of impacting system stability. It's not _zero_ - you can definitely run into problems - but the AUR is generally more reliable for me than third-party dpkg repos have been, and this seems to still be true today.

I wrote a huge wall of text below that nobody will read because it's too long and meandering, but I really think it's time to push for immutable Linux. Arch is oddly stable for what it is, and in my opinion it's a testament to the power of simplicity. But, SteamOS and Fedora Silverblue are starting to show that using modern Linux technologies, you can bring the benefits of immutable operating system design to the Linux desktop today. There's obviously much work to be done, but in my mind the tipping point is either here or coming very soon.
Other team ask themselves that question and created WASIX.
I'm looking into it.

Because to me it seems only logical, to have POSIX that can work on the web.
I don't think it’s that, D-AIMK is in the air right now. Also, they stupidly list the aircraft location as Rolling Hills Estates because the broker is based there. LAX is the only nearby airport that could handle an A380, but it’s a very poor place to store an A380 for sale.
If you're not yet updated to the January Google Play system, can you keep the phone from auto-updating? I know how to do this for a full Android system update, but not for Google Play Services.
For some password hardening I take a short random password I already have memorized like abc1oktt and then use my own phonetic change... For example, That one becomes ehbesee1ohcayteaTea... For my master password I take three different of these and just concatenate them together to make a nice long passphrase... Not for everyone, I'm sure. But for me it essentially reinforces and reuses passwords I've known for 25 years... I also convert numbers like SSN or phone with a similar poor cipher... Nein,Ate,Sefen etc..
Ask HN: Why is phone number spoofing still a thing?
Today, I got a call from an unknown number and —since I'm maybe too curious— I picked it up. "Hello, you tried to call me?". I had not called them. I had not called anyone for around a month. It's also happened to me while I was in the US… you get a call from an unknown number, you call them back, only to find someone telling you that no they never tried to call you.

Searching for why that happened yielded something I had more or less guessed. Basically phone calls work a bit like e-mail:
In the transmission protocol, you send your phone number in a "caller id" field, which is like a "From:" field in SMTP an header.

With old, unsecured e-mail servers, you could actually fill whatever you wanted in the "From:" address and your e-mail, including someone else's address.
Your e-mail server would just transmit that to your recipient's e-mail server. And to your recipient, it would look just like the email was sent from that address you are spoofing.

From what I understand , in the same way, you can basically set the "caller id" field to anything you want, and your recipient sees that value and only that — and thus a scammer, or maybe a robocaller, simply called that person setting my number in the "caller id".

Except for e-mail, it doesn't work that way anymore. When you are connecting to your e-mail provider over SMTP, the provider actually checks that you own the address you are sending as. And when your recipient's provider gets your e-mail, they check that it was transmitted by your provider, who owns the tld to that e-mail address. It's probably not perfect, but you can't spoof an email address that easily anymore.

So, searching a bit more, I found out that by law in my current jurisdiction (France), phones should work the same as e-mails currently do: if you are using a French number in France, your carrier legally has to check that you are using the number they attributed you or that you have authorization from the owner of that number. The call should then be authentified by the emitter's carrier to the receiver's carrier. Any unauthentified call should not go through (article L44 code de la poste, alinea IV).

In the same way, in the US where I had gotten all those spoofed robocalls, there is supposedly a protocol called STIR/SHAKEN (STIR on VoIP, SHAKEN on SIP) that does pretty much what I described above.

With all that, I would expect caller id spoofing to be "fixed" most of the time, so how come we still get spoofed calls?

Trickle down.

I see what you did there.
I started thinking like that, but the general high quality and innovatio. of the various things rewritten in Rust has made me reconsider.

I think it has become a significant user feature.
If one distro is supposed to be incompatible with others, we should talk about individual distro, not Linux. But even if I were to grant you that, there's so many ways in which I've had to install things over the years.

1. apt
2. .deb files
3. Ubuntu Software center
4. tar.gz
5. curl > sh
6. Docker
7. Flatpack
8. Snap
9. Compile it myself

On Windows it's usually just an installer. On Mac you either you brew, or drag a binary file into your applications directory.

Power and hardware is absolutely worse on Linux. I still dual boot on all my machines, so I can make direct comparisons on the same hardware. This isn't just an x86 problem.

I agree that we desperately need a solution.
Isn't this the kind of discussion we should be having though? Why flag it?
Ok, thanks, that makes sense. QBE looks interesting, but I'm missing 32 bit support. So currently I'm trying to reuse the TCC backend, which is far from trivial.
And also use a GNU/Linux phone.
I'm biased as I usually come on to the scene because a company has a successful product and is experiencing engineering scaling pains.

That said, in my experience, CPU is often the ultimate bottleneck with PHP, Ruby, Python, and.. Like everything. Over the years serializers have often been a pain point; XML in PHP and RoR, and the Rails "serializers" currently. Any sort of mapping or hydration(which is a LOT of what happens in web apps) is comparatively slow, often order of magnitude or more, over something like nodejs, C#, golang, and etc.

> Most bottlenecks are either that database choices or poor code/design choices by developers

Perhaps in sheer quantity, but with experience those are often low hanging fruit. After those are addressed you are left with the pain of the language and framework inefficiencies.
It seems to me that the flagship device requires the beta. I had to enable beta QPRs to get features that are in the advertisements of the Pixel 8 Pro. Those features didn't exist out of the box, which was confusing.
It is an EPROM (apparently 8x8KB 2764 in particular), EPROMs are not really intended to be in system (re-)programmed, so storing the IR codes in it does not really make sense. Proximity of pair of ALS193 to that EPROM makes me thing that it contains data for some kind of fixed pattern (by rough approximation the 64kbits work out quite neatly to the horizontal resolution of the "Arvid 1020" text on the spacer pattern shown in the article).

[Edit: alternatively it is possible that the EPROM contains some kind of "microcode" that serves as sequencer for rest of the circuitry, which is probably more likely]

Another interesting things are the 4 wide DIPs at the bottom edge of the card, these are clones of AM29705, which is 16x4bit dual port SRAM, apparently this serves as some kind of minimal buffer between whatever the rest of the card is doing and the DMA activity. As there is no IO except DMA I suspect that the card continually samples input and produces output, probably with the IR input and output being interleaved into the "video" data in some way (as one of the 16 bits?).
I really want polyglot programming to become easier. What are the barriers remaining for wasm/wasi to provide a foundation for a truly polyglot FFI? It seems like it was the promise from the beginning, but I lost track a long time ago.
>Any country with room for farming has room for landfills.

Japan does not have enough room for farming. Practically the entire countryside is dotted with farms and they still have to import over half of their food.

"Japan has a severe shortage of arable land, covering only 11% of Japan’s total territory. The country’s self-sufficiency rate currently stands at 39%."

https://www.eu-japan.eu/eubusinessinjapan/sectors/agroindust...

For comparison, the US's self-sufficiency rate is well over 100%. Some "bread basket" nations like Ukraine, Argentina, and Australia have self-sufficiency rates over 200%.
Most places Japan is 3 categories: burn, non-burn, & recycle (PET, metal, glass). I’ve heard many stories of people in Japan harassing and shaming neighbors who fail to strictly follow these rules.
The alternative is a more rational approach to recycling (automation-heavy sorting with a focus on metals and glass) combined with waste-to-energy.

This isn't limited to Twitter (sorry, X, whatever). You'll find perfect English language, Dutch, French and just about every other language posts that originate in Russia and that play to locally popular themes to sow dissent and confusion, to make it appear as though an unpopular opinion is popular or the reverse.

The degree to which social media and comment sections (including HN, which definitely isn't immune to this sort of effort) has been weaponized is severely under appreciated by the operators of these sites. For instance, the dutch news site nu.nl has had a long running campaign on it where no matter what the news is on Ukraine there are immediately a large number of pro-Russia posts at the top of every article in the comment section.

Arc has taken the tech bubble by storm. And for a reason. They’ve redesigned the browsing experience from the ground up.

But they’ve neglected one part: bookmarks.

Bookmarks are terrible on most browsers. So we try to fix it with fully-blown read-later and bookmark apps.
But they suffer from the same flaws – they are built like todo lists not libraries or collections.

In this proposal, I imagine a semantic search engine on top of bookmarks to allow for better retrieving of bookmarks, directly from the command bar.

Give it a try and lemme know what you think.
And, indeed, this rollout generally is done after in-house testing.

So something's likely up where folks in the wild have their phones configured in a way Googlers don't.
They used to just give everyone a Nexus every year.
Fair point, but on the other hand I wonder how much stuff is reduced or reused - which are supposed to come before recycling - if residents feel the real cost of disposing of all this stuff.

It wouldn't be random, but user selected. I have imported calendars for church, daughter's soccer team, some clubs and hobby events, etc.

Most lawyers I've spoken to disagree with this. The O-1 and EB-1 have similar criteria as written, but the EB-1 is adjudicated to a much higher standard than the O-1.

This is pretty neat. I expected it to immediately have descended into the same hell as Urban Dictionary, but it actually seems useful. I appreciate that it tells me who uses a term and where, and I especially like being able to click on those labels to explore more terms in the same category—I wish there were a way to see all those categories and choose between them (if there is, it isn't obvious to me).
I have a dumb question but how often do tourist visa overstayers get deported while running their own business under an incorporated ITIN? There's not even an I-9 check for non-employee income. There's got to be millions of people doing something like this or as 'independent contractors' considering how trivial it is and the obvious completely broken immigration system that demands these kinds of hacks.
I think it'd be a lot more interesting if you could feed it information about how often each rule is used.

For example, add some code to your live site that periodically samples the DOM from a random subset of real user - for every element that's actually visible on the page, see what style rules apply to it. Count those up and get a big histogram.

Then let that feed into the compression. The least-used style rules on obscure pages should be the most compressed. Find a way to have those "reuse" other style rules that are close enough. Your most important content would be the least degraded.
