> This is similar to "China's manufacturing causes a lot of pollution". No, you, the consumer, cause that pollution.

This pretends that China's environmental standards and oversight are identical to every other countries or that worldwide shipping isn't one of the largest contributors to pollution on the planet. Which we all know is far from the truth.

So, no, China actually causes that pollution. The companies in the US who take advantage of China's lax environmental and labor laws to eke out a few points of profit causes that pollution.

As a consumer, I require goods to survive and thrive, and I have very little say in how that market functions, and I have zero say when it comes to setting policy. I'm happy to do more, and do as much as I can when possible, but I'm wealthy enough to play this game... most of America is not.

I wish HN would punch up nearly as much as it loves to punch down.
You paid to be in the plane. I doubt anyone paid specifically to be in a plane with the hope that a door would blow off to take advantage of information asymmetry in the aircraft manufacturer's stock (or the airline's stock).
There's three hypotheses I've heard from UFO types. One is that UFOs are sort of like disposable probes, so them crashing isn't evidence of their incompetence. The second is that alien civilizations are giving us this technology as a gift for our advancement, and they otherwise don't interfere but are there to stop nuclear war. The third is that we are already actually integrated into a galactic civilization, we have a secret base on Mars where we collaborate with aliens, etc.
I'm not sure what the propaganda thing is about, we have strong evidence the Russian plan was for a rapid takeover, subversion/replacement of local elites, imposition of their administrative structures. This also makes plenty of sense as it was a key type of Soviet military and political operation and one in which they had plenty of balefully successful practice.

Afghanistan is an example of the successful execution of the initial military engagement of such an operation, the rest was unsuccessful but Ukraine is not Afghanistan - it's right next door, it has deep historic, cultural, linguistic, ethnic, you-name-it ties to Russia. It does have also have a long history of armed nationalist resistance. The Soviet Union successfully suppressed it at least twice and it's reasonable suspect that Russia would have been able to do so as well, especially given their methods. Each Soviet effort was followed by campaigns of direct and indirect forced Russification and much worse. It's worth asking yourself why, say, Crimea is full of Russian speakers. It's not because it's some historical cradle of Russianness.

Broadcom is famous for their terrible Linux support (typical android style binary firmware blob dump). Many drivers are unofficial, only reverse engineered. Some commenter here even mentions patching binary blobs to fix issues!

Murata Type1GC mentioned here, goes back to 2015. It also has several compromises to keep size small. Hardly stellar config!

It is a minority of people who can afford to own and maintain an RV. I commented about this elsewhere on this thread. My point was about how many people I know who do own an RV, do not seem to consider the emergency shelter potential. Most people around here winterize their RV's which involves dumping the fresh water and hot water tanks and adding anti-freeze to the drain lines.

I do not winterize because I want the camper fully stocked and fully fueled. If temps drop below freezing, I heat the thing to keep it ready. If power fails I set the digital thermostat to keep it from freezing. My goal is for it to always be ready to go at a moments notice.

Its true that many will not have the space or resources to be this prepared. But if you already have the RV - why not?

Couple things here:

The GP describes resolver software, which corresponds to item 6.3.3, not a caching server. This does specify the same behavior.

In RFC terminology, "MUST" > "SHOULD" > "MAY", so there is some wiggle room there.

6.3.2 permits Chromium and other apps to hardcode localhost names as such, instead of using a resolver.

A very popular vector for adware/malware is to take over the system resolver, or replace the DNS client configuration, so this is one reason Chromium jealously guards 127.0.0.0/8
Wouldn't this same effect also lead to more potential hurricanes in the Isles as oceans continue to warm? I'm thinking something like Acapulco where Hurricane Otis rapidly progressed from a mild storm to a Cat 5 hurricane due to warm waters.

Strangely, though, the UK hasn't had too many hurricanes in its history, which is why I'm curious.

Edit: I may have answered my own question. Even with a higher likelihood of storms, I think the mountainous and hilly topography makes it hard for storms to really hit the UK, which might be why there have been few hurricanes in the past.

"Yet again, having ported my phone number to Google Voice (GrandCentral back then), and never giving out whatever my current SIM's phone number is, pays off ..."

Agreed.

My phone number lives at twilio and I couldn't tell you the physical phone number on my SIM card ... I have no idea what it is without looking it up.

In addition to the obvious benefits of never caring whether you lose your phone or being vulnerable to a SIM swap there are other "telco superpowers" that come along with this arrangement:

- I can text you, from my number, from the command line (curl API)

- I can lose my phone and still send and receive SMS (again, curl API)

- I can "sanitize" incoming text messages to ascii-256, block attachments, block or alert on silent SMS, etc.

- block lists for incoming voice and SMS

- CC incoming texts to a mailspool which allows me to browse my SMS history as if it were email (this one is particularly nice).

Finally, I cannot participate in a discussion of hosted/VOIP vs. physical SIM numbers without reminding readers that a "2FA Mule" solves the problems of providers not supporting VOIP numbers for 2A:

> I wouldn’t bother with land fills for a while. First on my list is standardizing electrical power at docks for container ships.

There is some sort of effort going on, but IIRC it stalled as a consequence of covid [1]. Biggest problems are frequency differences (the entire world but the Americas runs at 50 Hz, but maritime+America runs at 60 Hz), and the fact that for the many megawatts a ship can use you need extremely high voltages to get that transferred at reasonable currents, which is a safety challenge on its own [2].

> intentional psyop to fool the Chinese or Russians

It might be partly that, but I don't think it's only that. Because Grusch says that Russians and Chinese themselves have the tech and are considering disclosure. Russia and China will know that's false, making it self-defeating.
The current LTS ships Linux 5.17. So rolling up the kernel changes since 5.17 and not just 6.7 -> 6.8 would probably be a little much. Is it not enough that he's happy for the next LTS to be one step more modern than previously expected?
I see. Perhaps the added benefit I am trying to create with this other system is that specifying remote locations isn't necessary, and is just inherited as the distributed network. Anytime anyone runs it, they're added to the network, so it scales with the number of users.
Depends on how well connected you are to the establishment whether a prosecutor would try to bring charges on more novel fact patterns. Rule by law vs rule of law and all that.

You have to compare the same latitudes. For example New York and Madrid are roughly equal and New York has clearly the much harsher weather.
Looking at rail fatalities without filtering by intent of the persons involved is equally as fruitless as looking at firearm fatalities without filtering to only homicides. Most fatalities are suicides. Suicides are likely preventable in various different ways but don’t tell us anything about passenger safety on rail.

If you eliminate likely suicides, rail travel is stupendously safer than driving.

NEM 2.0 pays solar homeowners a rate that is far above the market rate of instantaneous power (paid via an unsustainable, regressive "tax" on non-solar households paying astronomical rates). Roof solar panels are far less economically efficient than dedicated solar installations in the desert. I agree that subsidizing solar plant construction was a good idea, but NEM 2.0 was bad policy.

Poor folks don't have the capital to install solar or upgrade the insulation on their houses, and (in California) typically live in a much more hostile climate. They need to consume significant energy to live and end up paying for a significant portion of the NEM 2.0 "subsidies" as part of their power bill.

Government subsidies could come from the general revenue of the state, which is mostly fed by progressive taxes (poor folks contribute much less money than rich folks). It would be better to subsidize green energy directly from general revenues.

Note the "across three lanes"--this isn't a case of camping in the left lane as there must be at least 4 lanes for this to happen.

Rather, it's idiots weaving through traffic. They treat the flowing traffic as basically static obstacles and things can go very wrong if they cease to be static.

I've also seen it because the guy who flew by me on the right was impatient with the amount of clearance I left before moving back to the right lane--cut right as soon as there was a gap wide enough to move through.

Is that actually true? I could believe it if he were speaking in a cryptographic code, but even an obscure language has more than one speaker so he shouldn't be revealing corporate secrets where he can be overheard even if he's speaking a foreign language.

The BLS actually maintains statistics on this, and while CA does pay higher than average prices, it's less than 2x the national average.

Considering the geographic size of the electricity grid in CA, that's not surprising. A bigger grid is more expensive to build and maintain.

What you’re saying is possible but understand that things will shift and settle in the 90 years since she went down. Most plane wrecks I’ve seen photos of show mangled fuselages, snapped off wings, tail sections, etc.
Even if they are not maxed out for work, there comes a time when an amateur turning pro has to say "no, I'm no longer available to do free work. Even more than publicity, I need the ability to assert that I have been paid money for my work."

That is an uncomfortable transition for an artist. Poking them with "do it for the publicity" is aggravating and unpleasant.
They spend that much time reiterating well-trodden established information because that's the easiest to redundantly speak to. All of the novel stuff is suspiciously vague and detail is left to the imagination. Because the author is fudging things.
It's not required – to my knowledge – that specific person disclosing the information be in breach of a fiduciary duty, as one could easily overcome that by disclosing to someone who discloses it to someone else, who then trades on it.

The scenario you mentioned is generally understood to be permissible, but it's not exactly clear to me why. Perhaps that the information became "public" (whether intentional or not) when discussing it in a public forum such as a coffee shop?
Yeah, sometimes it blows my mind just how much time I have to spend dealing with updates to dependent (or meta-dependent) packages because our project, or one we integrate with, used some popular framework or library. With modern web stuff, even supposedly-non-breaking changes sometimes introduce bugs or change behaviour in subtle ways that cause issues.

Everyone has the choice to kill themselves with a gun, knife, car, or whatever. IMO it isn'toutlandish to help them do it in a less messy, less painful way.

We treat old animals better than old people, by letting animals die humane deaths. With people, we expect them to languish in some kind of medical facility until they are stripped of all human dignity and all of the assets they worked a lifetime to earn, then have the government (taxpayers) pay for them until they finally die.

Everyone should IMO have the right to die a humane death if they choose, without resorting to violence and a huge mess to clean up. Legislation to require a few counseling sessions before giving them drugs to end their life is reasonable, but in the end, if they still want to proceed, we should allow it and make it easier to leave a painful life.

If I specify, while I am able, that under x, y, z circumstances I want to be put to death, then even if I become incapacitated, it should happen. My family or the medical system should not have to struggle with this decision when I have spelled it out beforehand. The main reasons IMO that we don't have such a system is because medical corporations make a fortune from this human suffering, and relgious people believe we don't have the right to take our own life.
Unless you shad signed an NDA that stated they would not disclose non-public info and then told you about the glue, in which case you could still trade on it.
If you infer it, rather than being told by the research company then it’s probably on the “not” end of the “insider trading” spectrum. The SEC could still charge you but it would be hard to prove how you inferred the information
> If you study accounts of alien encounters and abduction

Ever find it strange how many abduction stories happen in people's bedrooms while they're lying down? It's because it's a hypnagogic hallucination during sleep paralysis.

Alternatively, they don't remember the abduction but recovered the memory under hypnosis. It's almost certainly the case that these were false memories.

A third options is that they are just legitimately insane. Schizophrenia does exist.

According to Apple, which doesn't happen to be a court of law. See the anti-circumvention clauses in Article 13:

> 4. The gatekeeper shall not engage in any behaviour that undermines effective compliance with the obligations of Articles 5, 6 and 7 regardless of whether that behaviour is of a contractual, commercial or technical nature, or of any other nature, or consists in the use of behavioural techniques or interface design. [...]

> 6. The gatekeeper shall not [...] make the exercise of those rights or choices unduly difficult, including by offering choices to the end-user in a non-neutral manner, or by subverting end users’ or business users' autonomy, decision-making, or free choice via the structure, design, function or manner of operation of a user interface or a part thereof.

> 7. Where the gatekeeper circumvents or attempts to circumvent any of the obligations in Article 5, 6, or 7 in a manner described in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 of this Article, the Commission may open proceedings pursuant to Article 20 and adopt an implementing act referred to in Article 8(2) in order to specify the measures that the gatekeeper is to implement.

Applying an unfair price structure might well be considered a contractual measure that undermines effective compliance, as it imposes an unfair burden on businesses and consumers. Notarization might also be considered "making the exercise of rights unduly difficult".

This is going to be a long process, and Apple starting it in an adversarial manner (as they did) is not going to help their case.
For a couple of years there after it came out on DVD, Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank had a website that they posted Mike's phone number, and you could call and leave a voicemail. That always put a smile on my face, his outgoing message was jamming on a guitar playing Led Zeppelin. I wish I could recall the URL to find it on Wayback Machine.
I think copyright on photos should be significantly shorter, more like 10 - 15 years. The current length is much too long.
> by the time someone got around to putting up a sign, you're at least hours if not days after the fact

Not a safe assumption at all, and your term ''got around to'' seems to imply that those who have lost a pet might be lackadaisical i.e. I finally 'got around to' taking out the garbage.

Everyone needs to put the date-gone-missing on their missing pet posters.
I have both. But it isn't weaker. To be clear my gmail password and my password manager password are both 40-60 characters long.

I also have TOTP and a Yubikey and a Passkey etc etc.

I was more protecting myself against a situation where my password manager was unavailable AND I needed access to my email urgently. Which has happened at least twice to me in the past.

Though to be fair once was Lastpass about 15 years ago when they reset everyone's password because of suspicious logs in an abundance of caution. That's right there was a time they were a "good" organisation.

Have you seen Consensus? It has access to 200M papers.
apparently we are now. the thread from the beginning was about spaces where people can badmouth others without reprisal. i read your question in that context. some people doing this all the time, is not an excuse, and the existence of such spaces encourages that kind of behavior. no more no less.

regarding murder, lynch mobs did exist, and they were also encouraged by allowing them to gather and normalizing that behavior. it's not talking about murder that encourages it, it's talking about it in a positive way that does.

groups that tolerate bad behavior generally tend to end up encouraging it if they don't put a stop to it. there are plenty of examples for that out there. just think about protests go out of hand. one person breaks a window, sets a trash can on fire, steals something from a shop and more people join in.

the only way to stop that is to keep ourselves in check and not allow such behavior but stop it when it happens. allowing those lists to be created did the opposite.

if you need to badmouth something, find a therapist.
Common courtesy would have one remove the posters once either the animal is recovered or hope is abandoned. That's a pain in the ass though and you likely won't remember everywhere you posted bills while distraught.

The next best thing is putting a timestamp or expiration date on it so you don't waste the time of the samaritans willing to dragnet for you.

I do get where you're coming from though. Dates don't really matter to me since I habitually check corners and undercarriages at night looking for lost anything (I know where all the rabbit warrens are and have found two dogs, many cats and an unconscious human), but if I know there's a current/recent APB, I'll focus my attention while I'm out and about.
Not initially. In time there might be a compounding effect.

During the Cold War there was a time in the 50's when the Soviet Union was running neck and neck with the US. Famously they were the first to launch a satellite. A few decades later and the technological gap was so large that the US seemed to be from an alien world compared to the Soviet Union.
Thanks for the offer - I certainly would be happy to do that.

It's funny, I used to post about this on HN deliberately off and on for years and that never went anywhere at all but this chance response has led to the most fruitful conversation I've had on it here!
