> To repeat what a previous commenter said, nothing is political as long as they fit your political view.

I don't share the politics of Van Gogh, yet I don't feel "The Rocks" is political.

So in general there are plenty of stuff that you wont find political even if you don't share the views, that is what people mean when they say an art piece isn't political. A person who says such an art piece is political is just trying to find politics in art where there isn't one.

Even if the original artist says it is political it isn't, because there is no politics in the art the politics was in his statement that it is political. Art stands on their own free from the opinions of their creators. You can of course embed political messages into art pieces making them political, but this isn't such a case. If you can't deduce what politics the person is trying to convey just from the art piece alone then it isn't political.

This is the first time I have heard about Internet Archive Canada and the website internetarchivecanada.org is just a plain Wordpress blog without any obvious information about who they are. Do they have anything to do with the Internet Archive (archive.org)? Will the digitized material end up there or be locked in Canadian libraries?

Well, in Germany, Nederland, Belgium Visa, Mastercard works so, I imaging is just a matter of choice from the bank side. In Italy RSA token (small key chain with an LCD display) was fairly common as another option and some banks have solved the PSD/DSP2 article five with a captcha post-OTP for transactions (i.e. Unicredit), few have chosen more complex OTP with a cam to read a Qr but they are simply too expensive to became spread. In France curiously most banks still do not use a second factor allowing login with just ridiculous "random sorted" virtual keyboards to makes keylogging not work. I guess the world is vary, but I'm also sure enough that Finland have some eIDAS eID document witch can be used like bank cards.

Some of London's Underground lines do share track along some of their length, like BART, but overall this is an exception rather than a rule, e.g. some of the District and Circle overlap, and indeed the Metropolitan also shares with the Circle.

And I agree that for the purpose of a trip within this core, you'd only care about that 5 minute wait, which is pretty reasonable, much as often passengers won't care if this is a District Line train or a Circle, since the stop they're going to is served by both.

Yes, they are real MDs. I would say that the majority of doctor's offices you will visit will proudly showcase homeopathy diplomas and certifications.

Australia's electricity consumption in 2021 was approximately 265 TWh (terawatt-hours) per year. Napkin math works out to:

Annual energy production of one 2 MW reactor: 2 MW * 8760 hours/year = 17,520 MWh/year = 17.52 GWh/year.

Number of reactors required: 265,000 GWh/year / 17.52 GWh/year = ~15,130 reactors.

This is of course a silly computation for scaling a research grade molten salt reactor. 300+ MW reactors knocks things down to a few dozen.

Now, how about if we apply this same requirement to solar power? How many solar panels will we need to get the same power gain?

Total energy required: 265,000 GWh/year = 265,000,000 MWh/year = 265,000,000,000 kWh/year.
Number of panels needed: 265,000,000,000 kWh/year / 584 kWh/year per panel ≈ 453,767,123 panels.

I know Chinese panels are cheap and all, but the notion that Australia will maintain a network of 450M panels is silly, and this is just to replace what we have now, not what is needed in the future.
The ship would keep local time because that is easy to measure and fits with what people are doing. The point of establishing Moon time is that it is hard to keep using non-local Earth time.

Keep in mind that there is difference between clock measuring seconds, and converting to days and times that requires choosing a calendar. The ship could use origin calendar, destination calendar to make people familiar, or some universal calendar. The problem with destination is that it won't sync properly until arrival. Or maybe they skew the calendar on the last leg.

Also, don't need high relative velocity to have a difference. Considering relativistic space travel may be impossible; the only may be proposed warp drives.
It's a good start but in the era of EVs with infinite starting torque we also need acceleration and jerk limits. There's really no rational justification for why a car driving on a public street should have any sharper throttle response than what you get from a Toyota Yaris in "Eco" mode.

Sol and Luna are technically "incorrect" names for The Sun and The Moon, as per the IAU. (Notably, so is "Terra" for Earth. Earth is Earth, it already has a proper name)

That is not to say I think they're un-sensible. I think it would be a great idea for the IAU to adopt them, as "Sun" and "Moon" are already generic terms from the reference of other planets/solar systems.

Google Play rejecting app update without substantive reason
Background: Syncthing is an open source automatic file synchronisation project. As such it needs permissions for full access to a device's filesystem. Since Feb 2024 Google Play has been rejecting updates to the app because it requests this permission, but without any sensical reason. The maintainer who handles this has repeatedly re-submitted with clear reasoning, but has no option but to cease requesting reviews as a result of repeated insubstantial rejections.

lower priority means just a couple of posters / AI bots, instead of a full-court press with dozens of well crafted accounts posting long responses.
Not a link, but there are many lines that do this; the poster mentions Toyoko line, which (as of now) goes

Hannō > Kotake-Mukaihara: Seibu Ikebukuro Line

Shibuya > Yokohama: Tokyu Toyoko Line

Yokohama > Motomachi-Chūkagai: Minatomirai Line

Those are all different companies operating on the same rights of way seamlessly! When you reach the through service stops, it just looks like any normal stop - there is generally no interruption in service, it just stops for some seconds and proceeds onwards like nothing happened. If you visit Tokyo you would notice that sometimes you'll see Tokyo Metro-branded trains on JR tracks, or Toei-branded trains on Keio tracks, and so on.

Many lines are like this; if you look up any of the central railway lines in Tokyo on Wikipedia, you'll see on their station charts notes about their through services. Some more instances:

Odakyu Line > Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line > JR Joban line

Keio Line > Keio New Line > Toei Shinjuku Line

Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line > Tobu Skytree Line > Tobu Nikko Line

JR Chuo Sobu Line > Tokyo Metro Tozai Line > Tōyō Rapid Railway Line, and so on.
It's not the phone, it's the fact that parents let their kids on social media.

I've seen friends of my kids have Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok accounts at 9 or 10 years old. Unless they get complete unfettered access with no parental controls the parents have installed them on their devices and created an account.

I found my first full-time remote W2 through HN back in 2013/2014. It wasn't a Who's Hiring post (were we running those back then?), but rather an HN discussion that linked out to a blog post at an organization that felt like an excellent cultural and technical match, despite being a couple timezones away. That kicked off an email thread with their tech leadership, and I had a job within about a month. Stayed there for four pretty good years!
Show HN: SaladCat, open-source highly scalable password cracking on Salad Cloud
Hey HN!

I built a monstrous password cracking setup using Docker and Salad Cloud - 31 x RTX 4090s running hashcat connected to Hashtopolis - and wanted to share the experience with everyone! This is the largest 4090 hashcat cluster I've seen posted on the internet - beating out Kevin Mitnick's current setup - but I'd love to hear if there are larger clusters out there. I'm not affiliated with Salad Cloud in any way, but as a cybersecurity researcher I wanted to find a way to quickly scale up / scale down a password cracking service without renting servers individually on service like vast.ai.

SaladCat is the name of the Docker container and some automation code that I used to pull off - I've open-sourced all of the code and Docker containers used in this project.

To me I guess it suggests that these models are not using the correct approach. We keep finding new types of tasks the models are bad at, then the next model fixes those issues because those specific tasks are added to the training set. But that approach never results in a generalized problem solving ability, just an ability to solve all the problems we've thought of so far.
Sure, in Node.JS, and with a specific calibur of programmer in a specific business context this is easy. Technical problems are easy to solve, but people and organizational problems are where the real challenges of engineering come. Sometimes you have to grit your teeth and implement something for the company you work for rather than for your own personal sense of correct.

You may wish to re-read the article. Perhaps disable the loading of images so you're not biased by the very first image.

Yes, the author mentions 'classical' styles, but is not about building things 'like they used to', but rather in taking evolutionary steps to past designs instead of wholesale tabula rasa thinking espoused by Le Corbusier et al. The author explicitly calls out the work of Kligerman as having both traditionalist and modern elements:

* https://kligermanad.com/portfolio

I find it hard to believe that, given the above reference, and the designs involved, the author is espousing "dominant imperial power". The author also writes:

> Similarly, when Louis Kahn produced the sublime skylit vaults of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, his ingenious solution was highly praised, but it was never repeated. As a result, instead of a considered evolution, modern architecture has been marked by a succession of fresh starts, some real and many false.

I do not personally get the impression of "dominant imperial power" by the design of said museum:

* https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&as_q=Kimbell+Art+Muse...

It is very 'modernist' / brutalist in style, which the author is not against per se, but rather the author is against new-ness for new-ness's sake.

And as the author points out, there is no one "classic style" (dominant imperial or otherwise), with variations between ancient times and things that have been built even in the last two centuries:

> But as my friend the Greek architect Demetri Porphyrios pointed out years ago in an influential essay, “classicism is not a style.” The mannered classicism of Michelangelo was very different from the earlier classicism of Bramante or the later classicism of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The Prussian classicism of Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s Altes Museum in Berlin (1830) was more different still, as was the stripped classicism of Paul Philippe Cret’s Federal Reserve Board Building (1937). A reason that classicism takes different guises, apart from the unstoppable imagination of architects, is that despite its ancient Greek and Roman roots, it inevitably reflects the taste of its own time. Schinkel was affected by his interest in Gothic buildings, just as Cret was influenced by the art deco movement, and even by the International Style. Could one imagine a 21st-century classicism that broadens its language to incorporate elements of the modernist past? That’s a tall order in our bifurcated time, when architectural correctness mandates that you belong to one camp or the other.
I did kind of say that to the extent the people around you make all of life political, you can't avoid that constructed social truth. But like the value of money it's a 'truth' conditioned on a particular equilibrium. There's another equilibrium where pushy haters of private life are a small minority.

For most expats Dubai is fine as long as you understand exactly where the lines are drawn and are willing to live within them (it's orders of magnitude more relaxed than KSA; far more restrictive than, say, Singapore; and a world away from Europe), but even then you can find yourself in trouble; doing business with powerful political clans -- and it's hard to avoid doing that at a certain level -- is a fraught scenario. I had one friend whose company went into bankruptcy because of two clients (a senior UAE shaykh and an Indian billionaire) who refused to pay tens of millions in outstanding uncontested invoices.

About that same time another UAE (Nahyan) shaykh demonstrated his displeasure to a business partner by having him driven into the desert, buried up to the neck, and (nonfatally) run over with a Range Rover while being videotaped. When that business partner (an American) attempted to press charges, the Shaykh was acquitted and the businessman convicted in absentia for blackmail.

I've had more issues and fewer legal recourses with Gulf clients and partners than anywhere else in the world (including the Bilad al-Sham/Levantine region of the Mideast), while doing less work with them than almost anywhere else, so I'll admit to being biased, but it really is a region where the rule of law is, depending on the context, highly personalized or outsourced to religious authorities, and presented without any of the procedural due processes you're used to.

If you have a never registered, not expired SIM for a carrier, the carrier can register it to an account given the IMSI. You can also do this with eSIM without needing a physical SIM.

So, step 1, convince the carrier representative. Step 2, give the the IMSI. Step 3, put the sim in your phone and receive SMS.

If you do step 1 in a physical store, the representative will probably give you a new sim from their stack even.

Except for state-level attacks (in which case you're screwed anyways), in some countries the process tends to be lax (on-the-spot issuance of replacement SIM without robust identity verification or allowing SIM replacement to any arbitary address without verification). This also does not consider insider attacks, where people in the company... can just re-issue any SIM for any number they please (and therefore there are people who are willing to issue illicit SIMs in exchange for money).
