Whatever they're doing is super benign compared to the propaganda I'm exposed to day in and day out as a US citizen with nearly every media outlet working to influence me either commercially or jingoistically. A single media platform with a different point of view is healthy, especially when it will host content the other platforms censor.

Social networking hasn't influenced my point of view, but it has allowed me to access voices that I've always wanted to hear from, there was just no way to get to them before.
The largest US pilots union opposes it on pilot privacy grounds. (To be clear, I think having an expectation of vocal privacy while you are in charge of an airliner is absurd.)
lol what? That’s the same old tax argument over again. I thought you all were motivated by things other than money? You know, that entrepreneurial spirit?

The incentive is it’s still a fuckton more money. You’re not taxed at 100% and in turn you live in a country with better services. The amount of money wasted by the rich is hilarious when combined with this take.

Ask HN: Do you want to build the Blazor Components library?
Hi,

I’ve been working on my personal project which is the UI components library for Blazor for the last year.

I’d like to speed up the process before making it open-source, and for that I need someone who is experienced enough with Blazor and also ready to spend some time for it.

Today the project is quite big, and currently I am working on the docs.

If you are interested, we can get in touch and discuss details.

Depressurization happened around 17:12:33 PST but the aircraft continued to climb until 17:13:41 PST, and the autopilot was configured for 10k ft at 17:13:56 PST. Why did it take the pilots a full minute to begin an emergency descent after the failure? I would expect that the nature of the accident would be clear nearly immediately, at least in the need to descend the aircraft.
Our setup works very very well.

And in smaller setups you would have a shared cluster or fully managed like gke etc.

I like to think of the solo hero vs the group as more like the difference between men's and women's basketball. Men's is all about the individuals but women's is interesting because there aren't really heroes so much as team play, teamwork.

And whenever I say that, there are people who immediately tell me that men's basketball is better. To those folks: it's ok to have a different opinion. You could be right! I'm just trying to illustrate another way of people working together.

How cheap is flash that will survive a sudden stop from 400mph to 0 mph in no seconds flat, will survive a post-crash fire, and/or submersion for years in salt water?

Flash data retention at high temps is TERRIBLE (and gets worse for MLC/TLC/etc), see any flash datasheet. It is NOT nearly as simple a problem as you might think.

In his audiobook "Leave it Be", Alan Watts has a chapter on [dt]ao and translates it as "the course" and likens it to a flowing river.

Oh no my friend, this is not allowed - "Dad, don't touch it; why did you add that piece; you're ruining it" "but you're not using it, it was just sitting on the shelf...".

There's definitely a strong divergence. In part, for us I think it's driven by poverty, they want "the nice thing" to look at (all our own models are necessarily colour-mismatched). But I know others who have rooms full of prestige sets that are 'not to be touched'!

Many on HN will be tinkerers who will take anything apart, that probably makes a difference too.

Coffee and tobacco consumption is a known correlation (one of many refs https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4158991/). Curious to see if authors considered that, as tobacco is one of the main aggressors of vascular tissue, which causes dementia in the long run.

EDIT 1: Just in time, UK Biobank (almost 500.000 people) study pointing to increased longevity with coffee consumers, an interesting controversy that just doesn't fit with their smaller study conclusion (although overall longevity is a different outcome, you would expect to find more dementia in older people) https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/coffee-lo...

What I really miss in articles like this - and I understand why to some degree - what the actual numbers would be.

Admitting that you need at least two full-time engineers working on Kubernetes I wonder how that kind of investment pay’s itself back, especially because of all the added complexity.

I desperately would like to rebuild their environment on regular VMs, maybe not even containerized and understand what the infrastructure cost would have been. And what the maintenance burden would have been as compared to kubernetes.

Maybe it’s not about pure infrastructure cost but about the development-to-production pipeline. But still.

These is just so much context that seems relevant to understand if an investment in kubernetes is warranted or not.

This is a puzzling attitude to me. Every time we technologists see a crappy proprietary solution being used for a problem, the first exclamation is, "why not use <commodity solution X>? That's so dumb, they spent $10k on that tool when they could have spent $100 on X!"

There must be a middle ground here- the paradox is that Google, Apple, etc have this ability to generate user friendly software and hardware at scale. But they aren't considered "battle proven". The expensive proprietary systems that are used instead tend to be hard to use and brittle, so what's the middle ground?
Tried this. Latency of DNS so critical, wasn't loving the self host option. Plus Tailscale wasn't quite reliable enough for all DNS traffic outside the house.

Not sure if you want to go that route, but unix sockets allow you to use SO_PASSCRED to get the pid of the connected process, you could use that as natural "origin" without requiring many ports
I believe this only works if your ad blocking DNS is configured to return 0.0.0.0 for all blocked domains rather than NXDOMAIN, since then services might try using the secondary DNS instead and that would result in nothing getting blocked. Ideally your secondary DNS should be a copy of the primary.
What I like about irc is that the x-topic "communities" are one big channel, centralized. Compare that with Discord where you join a server/guild and you are presented with 10 or more channels and you have to take a guess into what the normal/off-topic/on-topic/general channel is. But irc is also very strange, I wouldn't be surprised if I had been chatting with a swarm of bots all these years.
Setting up a secondary Pi-Hole on my home network
It's a green flag for me when services do this because it shows that they are taking an ethical approach to what they are providing. Too many companies throw ethics out the window and punt the responsibility to the end-user. Misinformation, like anything else, can be regulated responsibly. It is not the worst situation if the media is controlled to skew towards a certain viewpoint. It is the worst situation if the service doesn't give you a slap in the face when you routinely engage in misinformation. There is never any good outcome from misinformation, while it only erodes society's ability to cohesively react to situations in the healthiest possible way.
It's also the result of large numbers of people continuing to support an illusory political system that sustains this status quo.

As I see it, the wealthy play a non trivial role in the marketing of the "superiority" of this system, and rare is the person who can seriously consider whether it may(!) objectively be one of the primary root causes, despite the role it plays in setting rules, distributing "information", etc.

In addition to local storage, why isn't the audio(along with location, altitude and some sensor information) also streamed using something like Starlink or Inmarsat to a secure location where you can store more data for cheaper and with more redundancy?

I have an M1 MacBook Pro 16" I've had for almost two years and it's great. I recently got a minimal M1 Mini to replace an ancient iMac that died. the mini is really good as well. For my money these are the best computers I've had. Overall very happy with the Apple ecosystem (phone, watch, TV, etc). I do think their fees for upgrading memory and disk are crazy. I use an external SSD as the disk for the mini. I also have an OpenBSD Thinkpad (very old), an old desktop with Arch Linux, and a newer desktop with Windows 11. The MacBook is 95% of my computing time though.
The intake form asks for certain things (like prism vision) and it also asks if you know your prescription ahead of time. I can't imagine that they'll have all of those specific fixes but, for the majority of people, you can simply go in and get the right prescriptions lenses. They even email you a link to get your specific prescription of lenses after the demo.
It's paywalled, but Noahpinion had a good summary of the situation: https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/how-much-of-modern-academia-is.... The key points are that breaking disciplines into tiny subfields essentially makes it easier to build citation rings (even if you don't intend to, the same reviewers see most papers and let through ones that cite themselves).

With citation counts rather than quality working as karma in a competitive field (getting tenure) we shouldn't be surprised that some people supply a low quality but technically "peer-reviewed" journal.

I see how I was too vague. I decided to post without elaborating because I thought the concerns were obvious from previous HN discussions about Mozilla announcements of different sorts, and because I was running out of time, which probably was a mistake.

The Pocket partnership and acquisition, the 250 layoffs with the 4x CEO pay increase, the Mullad partnership for a worse offering, are all concerning and they do destroy trust, but my primary concern is the apparent lack of focus. Can Mozilla sustain all these potentially positive initiatives (like this recent announcement or https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/)? I very much doubt it. And I hope this changes before Firefox usage drops even further.

I'm not a Mozilla hater. I have contributed Firefox translations in the past, built extensions, and I even collaborate actively with some of the projects that I think are distracting Mozilla.
How much hardening is required to not be destroyed.

I live in a wooded area in Washington state, and I'm not too worried about my buildings, because I have a relatively huge clearing around my house and garage. And I don't live in my outbuilding that's kind of too close to the forest. But I'd still need to evacuate, somehow, if there were a forest fire. The smoke would be dangerous, I imagine utility power would be lost, and my generator is actually a couple trees into the woods.

Insurance companies could presumably do inspections of clearings and cancel or charge more if you don't have sufficient clearing, but municipalities aren't going to like the tree cutting that results.
For projects where I have a paying customer, this rule is absolute; I do not experiment on my client's time (and dime) unless they specifically request it.

But I do have projects which I finance myself (with myself as customer), and which do not have a real deadline. I can experiment on those. Call them "hobby" projects if you insist.

> Applied consistently, this logic would seem to preclude becoming familiar with anything.

Well, project requirements always rank higher, and many projects require some piece I am unfamiliar with (a new DB - e.g. MSSQL; a new programming language; etc). That means one does get familiar on a need basis , even applying this approach robotically.

If a project requires building the whole thing around a new shiny technology with few users and no successful examples I can intimately learn from ... I usually decline taking it.

I can empathize with the sometimes aggressive blocking, and as you pointed out can be pretty block list dependent.

I generally will go in and whitelist things if a site breaks due to a DNS block, but of course putting your partner on the same VLAN can be problematic. I "got around" that by having a button in Home Assistant that will completely turn off Pi-hole (and now AdGuard). So my partner will go in and toggle that if there's a problem.

AdGuard Home does also have the ability to completely disable blocking for specific clients.
