It entirely depends on which blocklist(s) you use. I had to stop using the StevenBlack list because it started breaking a lot of things, apparently intentionally.

I recommend using only one list, rather than a combination of several. I switched to the https://oisd.nl Big List, which has been great... although it did break GitHub yesterday. That was the first breakage since I switched, and it was fixed when I reported. But still, keeping an eye on it.
I have an older Phillips toothbrush without Bluetooth, Internet or vendor-locked heads, and it charges wirelessly in a glass cup. I love it.

I recently tried to buy a second one and could only find newer models with all these garbage features I don't want. Who the hell wants their toothbrush to connect to the internet? Wound up turning to eBay to find stock of the old one.

It might sound cruel, but I hope the moron who decided to add these features into their product, and the lackey who implemented it, are having a bad day and reflecting on the wisdom of what they did.
> They present how the world is improving in an irrefutable way but media and politicians would only focus on the negative.

It's worth noting this 'world' that is constantly improving exists only for people.

I routinely counter this with the analogy: that's like a dentist saying your teeth are better than they've ever been -- not only that; they're getting better but at the same time your gums are screwed. Are those teeth dependant on those gums you might ask. Yeah.

Every serious envoirnmental science paper seems to conclude the same thing: biodiversity is collapsing. On the whole, the world we live in is worse than the past. Examples during the earths history that aren't really from external forces e.g. when the moon crashed in to earth, after asteroids, early earth volcanoes etc. are different and not under our control.

> slightly better than existing, much cheaper products

I've watched many reviews by hardcore VR enthusiasts, and none of them have suggested it's only "slightly" better, with the only comparable clarity coming from devices that are only available through business contracts. Comparing it to my 2/3/Quest Pro (for the short session that I did), I also didn't see anything "slight" about the improvements.

Which other headsets have you used that you're comparing it to?
It's annoying that the top comment isn't related to the article but just a self-hating Canadian ranting about the current woes of the country. It's also classic Canadian behavior.

Show HN: Get up to 15x faster response from OpenAI GPT API with Model Gateway

Surprised no one even mentioned the matrix protocol yet. Its still very rough around the edges, but for an old school IRC person talk of Discord as an alternative just hurts me.

Do I want my community to be completely owned by a corporation, so that all the work we put into the network effect belongs to a company and they can impose/change rules at any moment? Have we learned nothing?

Matrix is the modern IRC alternative, not discord. And in some cases, you can run a bridge between the two, so I use a matrix client as my daily IRC interface -- best of both worlds.

It would be interesting to see comparisons to tea and decaf coffee, correcting for the amount of caffeine in those beverages. They seem to be assuming caffeine is the causal agent here, in which case there should be detectable parallels with other caffeinated beverages.

Decoupling is good.

Abort terminates the application. Fail returns an error code.
This is where the cloud kicks ass. Run multiple nodes with geo redundancy (where based on various concerns: cost, contracts, legal). But nodes should cross data centres. Maybe if one city gets nuked (literally or a fire/power outage) you still have uptime. Use Kubernetes maybe.

I don't need to defend a personal opinion if I don't want to. I believe the book is an 'everything is fine' meme in book format, pandering to the current oligarchy who's arguing that everything is going in the right direction and direct action is unnecessary. Other people replying to the same comment have articulated it better than I did. Whenever a book like this comes along and the real capitalists start reviewing and recommending it, it triggers my bullshit sensors.

You might want to consider the possibility that it is simply an opinion that you disagree with and move on.
and its "oh, you want multi-arch, do you?" friend. While prosecuting this <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/339567> I learned that they bundle binfmt into the buildkit docker image <https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/v0.12.5/Dockerfile#L11...> which itself is compiled against a static copy of qemu <https://github.com/tonistiigi/binfmt/blob/deploy/v6.2.0-26/D...> with various /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc wizardry <https://github.com/tonistiigi/binfmt/blob/deploy/v6.2.0-26/c...>

We ended up switching to using multiarch/qemu-user-static:7.2.0-1 <https://hub.docker.com/layers/multiarch/qemu-user-static/7.2...> which also mutates binfmt_misc in buildx's context in order to exec the static copy of qemu in it but I find their shell script much more legible about what's going on: <https://github.com/multiarch/qemu-user-static/blob/v7.2.0-1/...> not to mention the fact that it more clearly represents the recent qemu version versus secreting it away inside the moby/buildkit:heheh-good-luck-friend

You're forgetting that the effective pixel width is wider because the two eye displays only overlap about three quarters of the way.

So the 2064 pixels becomes about 2500 in practice. So a screen width of 1920 is perfectly doable.

The image doesn't get "softer", surprisingly, because of the constant resampling at 90 or 120 hZ with tiny constant head movement. Any individual frame might be a little softer, but the actual viewing experience doesn't lose any detail at all.

Yes, the virtual screen is huge. It's like IMAX. But it's not a problem -- it's actually great. It's not a bug, it's a feature. Now when I go to a movie theater, I find the screen annoyingly small.

If you find the quality of the virtual screen on the Quest 3 to be low, first make sure you use an app like Skybox that lets you make the screen as large as desired. And then second, do a live comparison with the same content on your laptop (play a file, not a streaming service that might deliver a different bitrate). You'll find that you really are seeing all the same 1080p detail.
Retribution is not revenge, though.

Retribution is deserved punishment. Revenge is the infliction of harm or hurt on someone, and to me is "above and beyond" justice retribution, remediation, and rehabilitation.
Yeah, as you can see from the sub-thread, I maybe over-stepped a small amount here. I am thinking about what is required by the protocol, and that is just 'any DID.' You are right to point out that web: and plc: both have certain practical drawbacks today. I am confident that because this problem is considered carefully by the team, that this will be 100% true in the future, but you're also right that there are real restrictions today. I will be sure to be more careful in the future.

> In general, I guess I'm just pessimistic of the ability for any DID system to exist that isn't either centralized or majorly user-unfriendly.

That's fair. Time will tell :)

We'll have to agree to disagree on this point.

I don't object to people who are OK with Amazon having a hand in their health care being able to do so. I just don't want them to have anything to do with my life in general, and especially not when it comes to really sensitive things like that.

I worry that I may not end up having a choice. Or, worse, that I won't be able to tell if they're involved at all.

Others should have the ability to involve Amazon if they want, and equally I should have the ability to exclude Amazon.
Oh, that’s interesting. The one time I had to use OneMedical services was when I was on a work trip to another state and was afraid I broke my hand after falling on the street and scraping off the entirety of my knee skin.

Scheduled a quick appt for the same day, they checked up and did the first aid stuff on the knee, and then redirected me to a radiology clinic a few blocks away for an x-ray. I just checked the billing portal, and the visit to OneMedical ended up costing me $8, while the x-ray at a radiology clinic afterwards cost me $5.

So yeah, that’s just anecdotal, but your cost of $400+ for a short online appt just doesn’t feel right. Not doubting you, but I doubt that this is a typical experience.

It was never really a thing - it was a term applied to the scenario where an employee does their job, but nothing else. While that might not be the typical attitude in the entrepreneurial world, or in leadership roles... in many other industries and roles, that is simply called "doing your job."

> What was even the difference between Abort and Fail?

A whole generation of computer users has wondered this.

According to Wikipedia[1], "abort" aborted the program (terminated it), and "fail" returned an error code to the program. (Which … probably has a high likelihood of killing it all the same, since a given random I/O is probably pretty non-optional.)

Wikipedia also notes,

> Is there a way to build permanent housing in parts of California that are prone to fires even with controlled burns?

Absolutely. A good starting point is to look to Australia's regulations for construction materials, methods, water storage and setback/firebreak requirements, etc. for fire safety in bushfire prone areas.

I would posit that the US is headed down a similar road with christofascism in the red states. They seem to be in a race to the bottom when it comes to freedom and prosperity. Texas once moderated that but no more, I'm due to move out of this in a couple of months and probably in a nick of time. So Canada might not be alone.

> compared to the best in the business

Huh? They are among the best. Disney is among Big 5 major movie studios. Lego is top 4 toy companies, largest by revenue among them. Apple is top-3 company in the world by market cap.

Quality is very subjective, but the fact that you personally prefer Baulders Gate to Mario just shows that Nintendo plays it in a different niche, not that latter is somehow objectively worse / has less quality than the former.

In my opinion, what sums up all these companies are the things they don’t do:

- they don’t focus on “power users” or similar niche segments, unless these segments gain enough popularity
- they don’t cater to cheaper segments of mass market
- they don’t build their business models around copying competitors
- they don’t delegate or outsource critical pieces of their value chain

This is what leads to unique and pricey products that sometimes polarize general public. (Although personally I’d narrow Disney down to only Pixar in OPs list, due to Disney’s poor fit with #3 and #4).
China has fined companies for referring to Taiwan as a "country" on websites in English, directed towards Americans, for instance.

Apart from financial crimes the US imposes US law on foreign companies all the time--e.g. companies that do business with embargoed countries.

Also the US considers things like "a transaction was conducted in dollars" as a hook for US jurisdiction.
Last part is a fair point - making no claims in reliability across other media.

Specifically just making a claim on if you vet reliability by national security/global politics topics that we all see playing out in the news, then it’s worth considering your specific role in it as a user or tech employee of TK.
It doesn't bother you that your spouse can't see it?

I am sure there is room to improve things on the corporate side but I also feel that we need major structural changes on the government side. Both parties receive significant funding from insurance companies and both parties are so pro-corporate that it’s hard to find any viable candidates who will oppose expansion of bureaucracy as long as doing so ensures more profits. The real problems are systemic.
One thing that is hard for people to conceptualize is the difference between old growth forests (which are exceedingly rare) and secondary growth forests.

Replanted, secondary forests are what most people are familiar with. They tend to have one or two types of tree, maybe some scrub brush on the ground, and whatever fell over in previous seasons. These forests tend to be very vulnerable to wildfire. The ground gets dried out really quickly, the stuff on the ground is pretty minimal, and under summer conditions, it is a tinder box.

Most people have never actually been into a true old growth forest. The ground can have a few feet of wet moss, plants, and fungi that overtakes the fallen trees and breaks it down. The ground is usually soft, even in the dead of summer. Under really extreme conditions these forests can still be vulnerable, but they have far more robust defenses against fire than the secondary growth.

Water management is also a big piece of this puzzle. Rivers, creeks and lakes are supposed to spill their banks every spring and soak everything around it. When you divert, contain and withdraw trillions of liters of water, you are creating a lot of unintended consequences down the road. The soil can hold onto a lot of water over long periods of time --- especially if there is significant vegetation on top of the soil to protect it.

The discussion about controlled burning is important, but it pales in comparison to the broader conditions that are driving the trend.

it's not uncommon for naive (first-time) consumers, especially of edibles, to have intense reactions that lead to ER visits; I suspect that many of those are just folks who have no idea what is going on and interpret the feeling as being dangerous.

Also the ER is the first line of treatment for many individuals.

> However, if, for example, Cyrus the Great did not help build the Jewish Second Temple

And again, who was convincing Cyrus to do this? Why not call them the "great men" instead? Had Nebuchadnezzar the second never destroyed the Jewish temple would Cyrus had spoken as he did about the Jewish god? Had Cyrus not ordered it rebuilt, isn't it likely the Jews still would have survived to rebuild it later on?

There's a real question whether Jesus existed. One alternative explanation I've seen is that he was invented by one of the Flavian Roman emperors in order to more firmly draw the Jews into the empire. Not being a historian or even historical fictionist I could see something like this happening even without Cyrus.
It can be kind of hard to route an error that happens deep inside a kernel to an application.

Disk errors happening after a deferred write are a classic example that's still applicable today. Your process might have succeeded a write(2) into cache and exited cleanly, then when it's time to write to disk, something bad happens. There's no way to tell an application that is long gone.
