I’ve just checked my domains hosted with Porkbun and it looks similar that Cloudflare has been issuing themselves certificates for my domains.

I do trust Cloudflare and Porkbun, but it does feel a little icky to happen without /any/ feedback or being informed.

I’d at least like to see the DNS entries in the Porkbun UI!
If you want to go to some shop somewhere and have some arbitrary part grafted on to your phone, you can do that now. There was an electronics engineer a while back who had a standard audio jack installed in his phone. There's nothing Apple can do o stop you, it's your phone.

What you can't do is do that and expect the original manufacturer to still honour their warranty, and I think that makes perfect sense. The proper remedy for your partner's situation is to get a full refund, or a replacement of the phone.

Got that too! Though we use it for actually whiteboarding math homework and tried a chore kanban-ish board (which even sort of worked for a couple weeks).

The data seem to suggest that the reduction in child labor is due to increased wealth and prosperity. I’m not saying regulations aren’t important—they are. But markets increase wealth — and wealth reduces child labor and increases concern for the environment.

My thought process is:
1. During a physical meeting (all my team is co-located so it's easier) - note taking, brainstorming, etc. If I need to upload something from the meeting to our shared Canvas (on Slack) or to my notes (on Logseq) or just file them away (on Confluence, Logseq, Hibob, Slack, email) - seems a lot easier to stay connected and focused on the precious 1:1 time and juggle the data later.
2. During any other meeting; connect from my laptop via Zoom and write down notes on the paper. This will almost force me to not do what I usually do, which is lose focus on the meeting, stop thinking, and idly do something else (like zeroing my inbox, reading Slack, or programming). When I was in the Army and carried a physical paper notebook every meeting was actually useful for me.
It's certainly possible to integrate directly with EHRs. Most now have pretty good implementations of the interoperability standards, at least for reading data. The problem is that to get access to that data you typically have to establish agreements with individual provider organizations, which is difficult to scale. Many provider organizations also run their own EHR instances rather than using SaaS so for those you also have to deal with all of the endpoint discovery and directory issues.

Working through aggregators such as HIEs eliminates some of those issues.
Why do you suppose that robots being made by people means that using people directly is cheaper?

By that logic, no factories or anything would be automated, as it would be cheaper to use the people directly rather than having people build the automation.

Why do farmers even use tractors? Someone had to build that tractor. Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire the people to plant the crop directly?

Under-funded defined benefit pensions may be a Ponzi scheme. But properly funded (X% of salary per month, calculated to cover future costs) defined benefit pensions are significantly cheaper for a given level of benefits, because they only pay out only until the beneficiaries die. Employee owned accounts (IRAs, 503Bs) are passed on to the next generation. Good for the kids, but not for the parents or the company.

Very true. It can be hard to properly articulate a position without feeling like you’re being too aggressive, I struggle with this a lot.
I posit that it comes down to what people value. Up-thread there is a discussion about how a Zulu man lamented the fall of Apartheid because, to paraphrase, “at least the streets were clean.”

Of course the issue is that we could have clean streets without genocides, and that is true of human society everywhere, but while one might value clean streets enough to be OK with (what I believe to be) unreasonable and unnecessary costs, others care more for being right and grandstanding to score political points, gain power, or simply make themselves feel better by attacking others.

As long as society continues to pay deference to people who value those things more, the cleanliness of our metaphorical and literal streets will always be secondary.
You’re completely ignoring the actual technical details of the bug and just assuming that cloud companies will happily keep every 100GB 4K video that users upload and subsequently delete even when the user isn’t paying for it. And they’ll just keep it for some kind of vague tin foil hat “make money off your data” reason.

Yeah, Facebook does that to some extent, with content that is heavily compressed in the first place, but it’s also likely they clean out information like that once they have the metadata that is valuable for advertisers or once the information becomes stale. Data that has no commercial value is actively costing the company money.

Facebook is pretty upfront about this. They delete some of it…”some” presumably being the data that is worthless to them: https://www.facebook.com/help/356107851084108

With cloud storage providers that charge by the gigabyte and store originals that have not been compressed further, every gigabyte of data that is being allocated and not paid for is unwanted COGS.

Cloud companies would be bankrupt by now if your theory was the case.
No, the farmer wants an electric tractor, possibly with a small diesel engine to charge the battery as needed. Fuel is an insanely high cost for farmers, and the complexity of the ICE systems means high maintenance and repair costs too.

I think you're missing out. A different perspective is to just see these devices as temporary and enjoy them for as long as they last. Let's say you can expect 2 years from the device, and it costs $480. That's $20/mo - maybe that's worth it or maybe it's not for any particular device. But at least you can make the choice that way.
>>I thought the "old way" was to wait until everything was done to check if it works, and the "new way" was to add tests for individual components as you go, making sure nothing breaks as new features are added.

Things tend to be more cyclical.

30 years ago, we did unit tests where we continually test individual components, then system tests were you test if your system works as a whole, then integration tests where you check how your system works with others. We had dedicated environments for these. And this was in the big-corporation, bog-standard, boring, commercial-off-the-shelf standard enterprise resource planning software. Yes, we had waterfall / predictive project management model, but I'm not sure where this notion comes in that before right now, this exciting brilliant moment in time, nobody in IT knew at all what they were doing and built entire bridges for years and waited to see if they'd collapse when the first car came :-)

Right, like in math, not all infinite sequences contain every finite subsequence. For example, a non-repeating sequence of 2's and 7's contains no sequence "4". The further condition is that the number be normal[1].

Also, TIL we don't know whether π is normal thus the popular claim that "every string of numbers eventually occurs in π" is not known to be true

We've Seen Matter Plunge into a Black Hole
I don't think it took a lot of persuasion to make women want things like money, and the things that can be bought with money. Those aren't really "male values". They're just things that women were forbidden from.

Things like relationships and community wellbeing should be human values, not female values. Men relied on women to perform them, as part of keeping them out of other occupations.

The human race won't go extinct as long as the replacement rate is above zero. Society and culture will indeed have to adapt to the altered age demographics, but that doesn't strike me as a bad thing. Certainly better than placing the onus on all women to maintain an arbitrary population size.

Why is this an "obvious feature"?

I put two windows next to each other all the time. It's perfectly discoverable. I just drag one window on the right....

...then I drag the other window on the left.

Boom. Done. No fancy features required.

See, you're coming from a basic assumption that you will do most of your work with windows full-screened. That's not how classic macOS worked, that's not how Mac OS X worked for many years, and that's not how many of us have our workflows. That's how Windows worked back in the '90s, and the paradigm remained even though screens have gotten much, much bigger since then.

What you're demanding is that all OSes "adapt" to become a UI monoculture. So that the only way any of us can do things is the way you think is "objectively better", even though the evidence you have for that is "well, Windows does it this way, and Linux copied them, and I'm so used to it I can't imagine doing things any other way, so it must be best!"
Chess was like that too. Consider a game where the first move was for white to move the knight that is closest to the white king to the square that is two squares forward and one square to the left of where the knight started.

Here's how that move would have been written at various times from the 17th century to the present [1].

Early 1600s: The white king commands his owne knight into the third house before his owne bishop.

Mid-1700s: K. knight to His Bishop's 3d.

Early 1800s: K.Kt. to B.third sq.

Around 1850: K.Kt to B's 3rd.

Around 1860: K.Kt to B. 3d.

Around 1870: K.Kt to B3.

Around 1890: KKt-B3.

Early 1900s: Kt-KB3.

Mid 1900s: N-KB3.

Last quarter of 1900s to present: Nf3 or if you want to avoid language-specific piece names ♘f3.

"the conclusion, weak as it is, is sufficient to show that the Supersize me documentary is dubious, or maybe even a hoax. Clearly, eating a lot of McDonald’s fast food (or Burger King etc.) is not really so unhealthy that there is serious health risk after a month. The other anecdotes and this study of 18 people showed that clearly. So what did Morgan Spurlock do? Who can say. We can think of benign explanations: maybe McD/Burger King changed their ingredients after 2004, or they differ between Sweden and USA, or Swedes are more naturally resistant to bad diets than English. Or maybe Spurlock engaged in a lot of creative freedom."
Abstract:

> Over forty years ago, David Barron and Christopher Strachey published a startlingly elegant program for the Cartesian product of a list of lists, expressing it with a three nested occurrences of the function we now call foldr . This program is remarkable for its time because of its masterful display of higher-order functions and lexical scope, and we put it forward as possibly the first ever functional pearl. We first characterize it as the result of a sequence of program transformations, and then apply similar transformations to a program for the classical power set example. We also show that using a higher-order representation of lists allows a definition of the Cartesian product function where foldr is nested only twice.

I'm currently using an old iPhone, but my plan once it finally dies is to buy a pixel phone and immediately wipe it and install Graphene. It seems really weird to buy a google device if I want better privacy, but based on the research I've done it really does seem like the best option if you value privacy, are willing to deal with a little bit of pain to get privacy, but also need a phone that can at least sometimes do things like run banking apps that force you into the panopticon of bullshit.

I know you specifically said pre-de-googled, but as you said it seems like the options there are really bad, but graphene does seem to make it pretty easy to install (although I haven't actually tried it yet).
Correct, though usually they don't ask during signup. They tend to default to their own nameservers, then let you change it afterwards.

What does that even mean? If you do something the USA doesn't like, you get nuked (metaphorically or literally). That is how it is, court or no court. What good is a group that pretends to be "real representation of international community" if the USA can still override it with nukes?

The UN veto attempts to at least make the process transparent. A veto is like a promise "we will drop nukes on you if you try this, so don't." It's much better to find out that way, than to find out by having a nuclear bomb dropped on your head from a military jet.

> What are you smoking? Germany is the one that attacked the USSR. I can hardly see how they'll remain anything but allies after that. Actually Germany didn't just attack, they prepared and executed the largest invasion in human history.

The Soviet Union helped Germany evade restrictions imposed on them after WWI. Specifically, they helped Germans develop mechanised forces, air forces, and gas warfare

Then they signed this pact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pac... dividing Poland (Soviet forced attacked Poland on 17 Sep 1939).

The Soviets switched sides when Germans attacked them. Then the Germans lost, got divided, then were allowed to re-unite and ... ran straight to Moscow to sign deals that undermined security of Eastern Europe.

Make no mistake, Russia and Germany fight and then can't wait to fall into each other's arms.

During the Falklands War there were discussions in British political circles about what death toll would be unacceptable to liberate 1,800 people from Argentine occupation and rule - a calculus on the value of human life vs geopolitical concerns, I guess.

The global consensus seems to be that Israel’s current actions have become excessive - if that’s true, I wonder where the line between legitimate and illegitimate responses to being attacked by a semi-State actor like Hamas is?

Genuine question - I don’t understand how a state would go about determining an ethical response in this circumstance (leaving aside wider positions on the nature of the I/P conflict itself).

I just realized you can now open a PDF document in Firefox and select text directly from scanned images embedded in the document (so basically transparently reliable doing OCR).

It is also surprisingly reliable, only sometimes mistaking a "oh" for a "zero" in a long string of numbers.

I neither know when this was introduced nor who added this feature, but from the bottom of my heart: thank you, thank you, thank you, you have made my daily life a lot easier.

I also haven't really explored the limits of the feature and under what conditions it starts failing, but: in my daily workflow so far, it's worked every time.

This type of small improvements that remove a ton of daily friction are a blessing.

Small thing, but I just thought I'd share this with HN in case it benefits others.
Exploring Seamless Rust Interop for Newer Languages, Part 1
People underestimate how dead and hostile the space is to life in general. First of all, you can just swipe most of the available galaxy space off the table because of radiation - the center of the Milky Way, close to our "core" black hole, is just pure hell. This is why we inhabit a remote neighborhood of the galaxy. You can extrapolate that most spiral galaxies are like that and only a small sliver of them are "in play".

Earth won multiple jackpot lotteries in a row, and that's only the variables we are aware of:

* Right-sized star

* Right-sized planet

* Not too far and not to close to the star

* Not too little and not too much water

* Oxygen

* Iron core (magnetic field protects from radiation)

* Right-sized moon (keeps rotation stable, tides)

* Gas giants absorbing a lot of debris coming our away

* A single-star system, with nearly circular, stable planetary orbits (very rare)* ... and so on

Yes, I know there are permutations that might also work, but in general it does not look good for spontaneous life.I like a theory that states that the Universe is just the right size where one single Earth has only a single probability to spring up randomly. The Maker covered their tracks well, if you believe in higher intelligence.
'Perplexity' is "through the complexity".

Possibly the biggest logical miss I've ever seen on this site. This would only be true if one person built one robot ever, and that robot was only as efficient as them.

Now would something like this https://carbonrobotics.com be cheaper than dumping chemicals on your field? I don't know. We could certainly do without the negative downstream effects of various pesticides and weed killers though.
