I'm normally a free market type of guy, but national defense is an exception.

Your post shows the effectiveness of companies using national defense as a PR stunt to siphon public money.

Intel's Pat Gelsinger has arguably been the most effective at this. He's been touting national defense as a way to get billions in subsidies since his first day on the job, and then turned around and used their profits to buy back more stock or give out dividends.
You trust them with complex packet processing, but not with simple packet blocking!?
Yep and since 2010 I’ve not purchased one. Current EVs are very expensive and I couldn’t really afford one unless it had pretty decent range and was available used for $20k. Notably there is no place to charge them at my apartment complex.

I’m hoping maybe in a few years a 2023 Ioniq 5 will be affordable enough, but we will see.
"Hide your loved ones. Bicycles are coming."

The evolution of bicycle would indeed be an interesting case study (if not studied already). After the initial depiction, it was pretty incremental thereafter, with some crazy things in-between (penny-farthing), don't you think?

Turns out GCC is more clever than Clang here, and MSVC is just horrendous. (See update, I posted a link.)
This can be done with little AWS Lambda scripts that periodically scrape (or API) whatever sites you want and e-mail you results. All the credentials to login to whatever sites can be personal/dedicated to your instance (so no real API limits), and the usage will almost certainly fall into the AWS free tier since it's only for you.

The ideal install workflow would be to have a repo of AWS CloudFormation templates to automate the installation of the lambdas for different sites in your account. Anyone can open an AWS account, and using CloudFormation is a few fields, and a button click.

Also, if the scripts are developed properly, they are runnable locally. A sane developer will run them locally during development, and then test deployed before releasing.
Comparing with results from an engine is exactly how you obtain the "strength" of moves that you speak of.
Except they bald faced claim it makes you smarter to learn cursive and promotes brain development. I’ve been searching literature and I can find absolutely nothing that supports their very direct claims.

Experts say learning cursive improves cognitive development, reading comprehension and fine motor skills, among other benefits.

"We tell them, well, it's going to make you smarter, it's going to make some connections in your brain, and it's going to help you move to the next level. And then they get excited because students want to be smarter. They want to learn," Keller said.

I genuinely do not see the point you’re trying to make. Is it that pollution == lower birth rate? I’d imagine there are many factors besides pollution that may influence why certain regions have more birth rates than others.
It was useful for local news.

E.g., when I saw police helicopter that seemed to be doing a low altitude search pattern about 300 m away, and a TV news helicopter hovering higher up in the same area, I wanted to know if this was something I needed to be concerned about.

A quick search on Twitter and I found a recent tweet about gunfire in a store in that area and a shooter on the loose.
it’s not just big news though, twitter was very useful for hyper local news in cities… to the point that if there were helicopters overhead or some loud noise nearby… usually someone posted about it on twitter - this has been irreplaceable for me, I know less about what’s around me now
No you can write it in pure HTML and CSS. It’s really not that hard. Host your static files for free with GitHub pages, or it you want more formal deployments, pay $10/month for DigitalOcean. A custom domain can be had for $20/year.

Depends on what you're referring to with overtime. If it means 24/7 rotating shifts to compensate for the unpredictable, yes, that absolutely happens. So it's not so much "overtime", is "off-hour shifts".

Again, this started as an "skyscrapers sites" analogy. If you have a guy working in such construction for 20 hours straight, you're calling for a (very possibly fatal or catastrophic) accident, and there's absolutely no insurance company that'll cover for that, among other problems you'll be calling for.

I see this argument pretty often - the idea that if it hallucinates and you have to check everything it does for you it would be faster to just do it yourself.

It's still faster to use an LLM. I don't know how to make a convincing argument about this - I just know that I've been using these tools on an almost daily basis for over a year and they absolutely help me work faster even though I'm very aware of hallucinations and mistakes and constantly look out for them.

> The anti-steering ruling supports my point that while Apple can charge whatever commission it wants on its payment platform, this should not entitle it to ban or tax competing means of trade discovered through the platform.

The judge literally ruled that no matter who you use as a payment processor, Apple could still charge a commission for using it's intellectual property.

The same summary of the Apple v. Epic decision I linked to above has a good section on what the anti-steering section of the ruling means and people seem to misunderstand what happened there as well.

> "developers cannot communicate lower prices on other platforms either within iOS or to users obtained from the iOS platform"... "These provisions can be severed without any impact on the integrity of the ecosystem and is tethered to [California] legislative policy."

Notice the references to “other platforms”; those are the web, Android, or, in cases like Fortnite, other consoles. Judge Gonzalez Rogers’ argument is not that Apple has to allow different payment options within an app — as noted in the previous section, that is Apple’s right to control, and even mandate — but rather that Apple can’t stop a developer from telling users that they can go outside the app to another platform to acquire digital content.

https://stratechery.com/2021/the-apple-v-epic-decision/

Apple's move to open up alternate payment processors was not a result of the Apple v. Epic decision. That has more to do with preexisting regulatory rulings in places like the Netherlands and (of course) the DMA.

It’s HN. Everyone here has encountered many true believers who, when confronted with a criticism of their favorite tool, responds “well, you are using it wrong. Change your workflow to match mine, which is superior anyway, and then you’ll see.”

It’s tiresome, and I for one have little patience for someone patronizingly suggesting that I'm being stubborn for refusing to allow them to enlighten me.

Is that what you were doing? Maybe not. But you certainly matched my regex, so to speak.

A lot of novice cooks I know will fully cook their pasta, strain it, and get it pretty dry before putting sauce on. The starchy pasta water is actually a "glue" that helps adhere the sauce to the pasta. If you leave your pasta a bit wet before saucing, you get better adhesion by a lot, and it's even better if you cook the pasta (and pasta water) into the sauce to release more starches into the sauce.
Ask HN: Has anyone here tried Saxenda or Ozempic?
Sorry that this isn’t a tech related question…

What was your experience with these weight loss drugs?

Has anyone started on one of these and then switched?

Was one more effective than the other?

Any really adverse effects?

My doctor just prescribed me saxenda. I lost 68kg’s naturally without any kind of medical intervention and I regained 8kg’s and then maintained a 60kg loss for 3 years. After hitting a plateau that has lasted the past 3 years despite me being fairly consistent with diet and exercise, she finally decided to give me something to help shift the final 10-15kg’s.
I’m just wondering what people’s experience with this stuff is?

If people have any useful links to subreddits on the topic I’d be keen to read them.
I just bought a used Ioniq 5 for $26k so it's not that far off your target goal.
The loudest people arguing against IPv6 are often hiding the kind of behaviour I really don’t care to protect. Drug purchases on the dark web or exchanging child porn are common reasons to be this paranoid.

Normal people just use a VPN or a cloud proxy and move on with their lives.

It’s all academic anyway. It’s hilariously easy and effective to build up an identity via browser fingerprinting, or similar techniques. Ironically, the more crazy “protections” you layer on, the more special and distinct that fingerprint becomes.

As a case in point: running a Tor client makes you a high priory target for the NSA and similar state agencies. To the point that something like half of all Tor nodes are rumored to be compromised!

PS: IPv6 is such a vast number space that brute force scanning the Internet to look for vulnerabilities will go from a “hilariously simple Python script” to “literally impossible”! People worried about security and privacy should be rushing to switch to IPv6 because it’ll permanently block all drive-by attacks!
> The waste from solar and wind never decays. It is permanent. That is worse.

I’m not so sure I buy this argument. Nuclear waste is effectively permanent as it needs to be safely stored in large containers for as long as civilization has existed.

Solar panels are made of what? Silicon and aluminum mostly? The aluminum can be recycled. I wonder if old silicon can be reused somehow. We will certainly find out.

> I just need to get an adequate amount of strength training and cardio exercise during the day and I sleep straight through the night.

Same here. Plus drinking much less, I rarely drink these days, and when I do it’s not more than 2 beers or glasses of wine.

But mostly it’s the exercise. If I didn’t go for a nice long walk, at minimum, then I know I’m gonna sleep like crap.

For ultimate control, fine-tune images with detailed adjustments to posture, depth, and contours, all guided by your reference photo.
Less is more. If you want to make a point just make it instead of wrapping it in the bs.

And if your point is that people should embrace learning outside of the confines of the education system, yes I agree. You shouldn't spend any amount of money to be taught Shakespeare. Just read Shakespeare. If you are not motivated to learn it, don't.

> Maybe education shouldn't be so heavily privatized

Education is not privatized. The majority of education is public and / or not for profit. The problem with education is not profits. Non profit institutions are raising the cost of education to absurd heights and it's on track to be $1 million for a 4 year degree.

You can't blame capitalism for the rising cost of education as much as you'd like to. Blame the left wing administrative class.
> No, I'm saying the firewall is what prevents access to the router's configuration interface regardless of whether you are using NAT.

I still don't understand. Even if we assume that the configuration interface has no internal security (e.g., a strong password), how would a router with a NAT but with a totally busted firewall allow access to its configuration interface from arbitrary external hosts (short of having a forwarding rule for itself, which I suspect wouldn't even work on many routers)? What would such an inbound connection from an adversary look like?

> If anything port forwarding actually encourages "accidental" exposure. They are usually kept in a separate interface from the other firewall rules, which indirectly encourages configurations that do blanket exposure to the Internet.

It would seem to me like host-specific IPv6 firewall rules have their own challenges. Under IPv4 NATs, special internal hosts (that need their own rules) can be trivially assigned persistent labels through DHCP. With IPv6, if each host chooses its own address and rotates it regularly, then how are hosts persistently identified in the firewall rules? By MAC address? Or are there other systems for this?
Obviously anyone is allowed to like what they like, and it's not that hard to produce good food when you grill/BBQ/Smoke on almost any fuel you prefer, but there is a lot of FUD in these comments about Briquettes. They provide a clean, consistent, repeatible heat, for a very low price.

This topic, like so many that touch on food in some way, gets bogged down in weird superiority complexes. I People can't just let people have different (usually read "wrong") opinions when it comes to food.

You'll note that one person expressed their opinion on lump. I responded with my contrasting opinion. Only one of those two comments got downvoted.

-edit- In case it wasn't clear, I don't think lump is bad. I prefer briquettes because they produce good, consistent, results (for me) at a low price. My link was meant to push back on the idea that lump was somehow "better/higher quality" than briquettes. I'm sure that one can buy cheap, poor quality briquettes that are bad in all kinds of ways. But obviously it's also possible to get bad quality lump (even if that is not representative of all brands).

When rolling out the fiber network in Australia, NBN Co (government owned) kept the ownership of the fiber optic but on-sells capacity to retailers. It would take a lot of money to buy out the American incumbents, but perhaps this would be an option.

L5L Neural Engine is a groundbreaking Module that enables orca to interact with websites via simple user prompts. It knows where to click and what actions to execute based on the website's structure. For example, if you say "import contacts," it can figure out where to click. These straightforward automations form the basis for more complex processes i.e imitation Learning. Importantly, you can save these automations for later use, making it handy for repeating tasks and boosting productivity.

There are a large portion of renters who pay more than 1/2 their income.

But why is it such an important value? I'm not sure personally but I can say for the most part many people don't qualify to rent a given location in the first place unless their income to rent price is equal or more than 1/3 their income.

So another way to put it, about half of all renter now don't technically qualify since to rent their current location given they will likely need to pay more than 1/3 their income.

I tried drier lint. My issue was that it smelled _horrible_ as it burned. I doubt this matters very much for the food, since the starter is long gone by the time you start cooking, but I just don't want to be around it. Newspaper/brown packing paper is plenty cheap and available for me.
As the previous commenter indicated, scale — it’s not physically possible for a human to read that many books.

Quality of service and their budget for service aren't quite the same.

I worked at a major US telco for a while, their service wasn't anything to write home about either but you better believe they had very specific quotas of how many people they had to hire or contract relative to their customer count. At least in the US, union contracts often get extremely specific on that kind of thing.
