> Please explain to me how "random radio traffic disruptions" are able to disrupt a protocol that has built in proper AES-128 encryption.

Radio traffic disruption, not data manipulation. Like when your network hub stops working or someone is using a microwave in the next room, for example. Most zigbee devices are transmitting in the 2.4Ghz band, which makes them very susceptible to being drowned out by EMI.
Long lines buildings were not going to take a direct nuclear hit, but were very robust to handle shockwaves and EMP.

I came very close to buying a long lines microwave relay site, and got to tour it a few times. It had a hardened tower, as well as copper grounding that went deep into the ground. Mining the copper would have paid for the site, but alas.

These buildings were built based on the 1950s threat of Soviet bombers attacking the United States. The New York City metro area was protected by air defense missile sites and interceptors. The air defense systems would air burst small nukes in wartime to destroy bomber formations.

Once the threat shifted to ICBMs in the 1970s hardening was moot.
I understand the concept, but please show me the statistics that show that storms are increasing in quantity or severity on a timescale consistent with anthropogenic warming.

OP said that specific storms are climate induced - there is no way of saying that a storm formed due to climate change when it would not have formed in the absence.
I take issue with the phrasing "the only option that is resistant". Per the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem, it's definitely not completely resistant to strategic voting, and other options are each resistant to it to different degrees.
One of my big brain investing ideas is to pick the stocks at the top of the index instead of buying the whole index. If index funds continue to rise in popularity, the stocks that are at the top will benefit most from passive investment volume.

Plus, index funds follow a kind of Pareto principle where the top stocks contribute disproportionately to the total return anyway.

As I’ve gotten older though, one of my realizations is that the tax-free rebalancing of index ETFs is their most valuable property, rather than their actual choice of equities.
You don't need to try to seek value from the shareholders in a bankruptcy to hurt them. (Doing so would be going against rule of law and as for changing the law, well do you hear that giant sucking sound of funds fleeing your economy?) Just having their holding's value go to zero is sufficient.

One thing I wish was a bigger thing in the States was more near beer like options. You basically have two choices for low alcohol beer when it comes to that in the States: you either buy the most watered down thing available which is usually around 3.5% or you buy N/A (<0.5%) or hop water (0%). I would love to just have a place where I can have 1%-2% beverages to easily pace myself without having to control my intake rate. The one-on one-off solution of alternating N/A and regular works but requires a fair amount of self control to manage that. I have also tried naltrexone which mostly just gives me side effects and makes me feel terrible for a couple of days, not really helping slow down intake.

Having lived in Sweden a bit who has better approach around this I can say it’s much nicer - Systembolaget has options for pretty much any percentage you like and breweries like mikkeller are making incredible low ABV options. 2% is available at the grocery store, and bars are legally required to offer N/A options.
If the ruling party has the ability to suppress dissenting views and the means to target people doing something completely lawful like attending a political rally then how, exactly, does one "vote/act against that"?

Maybe it's easier to just not give them the power in the first place?
This seems really cool!

I noticed the landing page has a rotating PNG gallery in desktop but not on mobile. I'm sure you must've wanted to put it in the mobile page too, was it hard to UX or just too inconvenient to implement easily?
It's possible, but there are other jeopardy game maker sites out there that charge money and have existed for 5-10+ years that do similar things but with "Jeopardy" actually in their name (e.g. jeopardylabs)

Worst case, they do, and then I know I made a good product.
>bureaucracies with zero accountability //

This seems an entirely different argument - the whole point of using movement data is to increase accountability. Why, excepting being immoral, wouldn't those supporting it agree to higher levels of accountability?
The problem is that any active trading strategies now need to beat the market by the cost of a fund manger, the cost of their research, the cost of regular trades, and the cost of short-term capital gains taxes on those trades.

These add up significantly. Instead of having to beat the market at all, you have to beat it by an extra half of a percent or more every year. And you have to do it year after year after year.

All the evidence shows that actively-managed funds are a weighted (against you) coin flip. Less than half will beat the market in a given year. And the results from any given year are independent of the next.
As someone who has done that exact sort of stripping at a previous job it's not that bad. If you mess it up your tests immediately fail but also it's just so easy to have a library that does it for you

Show HN: I generated 70k audiobooks with OpenAI Text-to-Speech
Hey HN. I’m Ivan, hacker from Ukraine.

For about a year, I was working on Listenly — an app to listen to text content with OpenAI's natural-sounding text-to-speech model.

At some moment, I realized that it would be cool to take all the public domain e-books and create audio versions for them.
So I did it... kind-of.

It would cost an immense amount of money to generate all the audio right away (OpenAI TTS costs approximately $0.84/hour of audio; 11labs, for comparison, is 10 times more expensive).
So, I took a more gradual approach.

I took all the metadata from the Project Gutenberg catalog (it's about 70GB of dirty XML), cleaned it, put it into my database, and created a browsable catalog.
When the first user visits a book page on Listenly, I download the full text of the book, save it in my cloud storage, and calculate the price for audio generation based on the book's length. Then, if the user decides to purchase it, we generate the audio.

I know it’s not perfect.

I've burned out a couple of times already while doing it.

But still, I need to show it to the world. And I’ll be glad to hear your feedback.

Peace.

I love this book, it's an excellent and refreshingly readable complement to more academic texts. I recommend pairing with Friedman's "Essentials of Programming Language". While I also love the Friedman, it's nice to read some PLT without feeling like I got punched in the face sometimes... ;-)
This is something often implied but rarely stated, so thanks for spelling it out.

But I don’t think it’s an inherent tradeoff? In theory, anyway, the police work for us. They’re spending taxpayer money. It’s expensive. If there’s a way of making them more efficient then we should want them to use it. Maybe there are ways?

This doesn’t mean skimping on necessary safeguards, but that doesn’t mean we need to put up unnecessary obstacles about knowing where to look. We should still want them to win at finding criminals and we don’t want “game balance” because it’s not a game.

Catching the bad guys and not prosecuting the wrong people both involve having more accurate information. Bad information means more mistakes.

It doesn’t mean just trusting them. Defense attorneys, judges, and juries benefit from better information, too.
Probably fine, except for lack of favicon. In old days Chrome added default favicon, now it is an empty place. When there are many tabs (so that only favicons are visible) your motherfuckingwebsite turns into an invisible tab.

Try Ketohol, it's gaining popularity.

You get a slight buzz and no crummy feeling afterwards. Active ingredient is called 1-3-butanediol, breaks down into a ketone which is easily processed by the body. Unlike alcohol which breaks down into acetylaldehyde, nasty stuff.

Downsides are cost, availability, taste (not great) and buzz is not as strong as alcohol.
>Hence, gift cards. I thought about you for half a second longer and gave you money to spend at a store off my choosing.

That half second costs me far more time and effort to keep track of a gift card, especially if a balance remains on it. Either get the actual gift you want to give the person, or give cash.

A gift card only benefits the merchant who gets to hold onto cash and earn interest.

What's wrong with depending on the Windows PE format, FAT filesystem and UEFI? You're always going to have some dependencies. FAT32 is better than having the first sector load some magic reserved sectors. Windows PE is better than a fixed memory address.

The most unnecessarily complicated thing in this article to me is the Makefile and linker script. NASM supports generating flat binary output, but apparently using it would be too "hacky"?
You cut off the important part:

> in a separate branch namespace

So not really. It's a special branch path that only exists for opening PRs, and doesn't do anything other than opening a PR. Yes, they share an object space, but so do forks in the first place, so any security issues with this flow are the same ones in the fork-PR flow.

You can check out this which covers the whole flow: https://git-repo.info/en/2020/03/agit-flow-and-git-repo/

Or for a simpler overview, look at Gitea/Forgejo's implementation: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/agit-support/
Nifty, but it seems like this would lose commit message content and history entirely during the course of the review since you have to submit a single patch that gets applied, rather than publishing commits to a branch that gets merged. Am I understanding correctly?
It helped Bolsanaro too after the stabbing. Humans can be very predictable.
I had an active manager reach out to me with exactly this strategy.

I didn't look at the fees or rebalancing schedule super closely, because I didn't want to invest with the guy, but IMO his market-beating claims were due to increased concentration during a bull market (risk) which could go sideways fast if he didn't rebalance at opportune times.
> the most watered down thing available which is usually around 3.5%

There's many beers in the 6%+ range; they're just not at many grocery stores, and instead you have to go to a specialty store.
I'd say Linux created far more problems than it solved, and would count as one of the largest net negatives in the economy of the technology sector historically.

I think it's fine to get excited, but there's also getting too excited if there's no rational need for the software. Which I can't really see, since there always have been other devices to buy.

Like if I need to do spreadsheets I will get a device made for that, not demand that regulators force Apple to let me install Excel on my phone.

Hackers and Europeans framing this as some kind of civil rights or human rights issue is to me abut as ridiculous as if regulators would force every restaurant to make their menu gluten free. Which will probably happen soon, since the mental children are at the helm.
Overheard a conversation while eating Pho in Toronto. A guy was saying the company he worked for listed 2 positions for co-op students. They received over 5000 applicants and not just from students. There are few jobs in the Tech sector. If you aren't working for the government or know someone who can get you in the door of a private company, you're fucked.

It is becoming impossible to find a job, own a house, pay for rent, feed yourself and have some kind of future in Toronto or the other major cites. It doesn't matter if you were at the top of your class in Waterloo or UoT and have co-op experience, you're going to be underpaid or unemployed with little chance of building a decent career in the Industry.

Just saying.....

Oh, this is just so satisfying; a mystery I’ve been reading about for years — I’d personally come down on the side of extremely advanced Roman adult implement — solved. I’m sure there’s some academics and some alien enthusiasts that will dispute this for, likely, decades, but once I saw the progressive shrinking of diameter they had me convinced.

And, on this day, I needed a win, cheers!
Perhaps you misunderstood the comment (and indeed rereading it I can see how it might be taken to mean that I am saying that only 3.5% beers are available in the states, which is definitely not the case. I’ve edited it to be more clear). There are certainly tons of options in the States above 3.5%. I’ve seen 18% beers before. But there are almost no options between N/A (legally less than 0.5%) and 3.5%, which is about the ABV of your typical domestic lager

Yeah. And 20 years ago, there was no iPhone and an only somewhat interesting MP3 player compared to other brands. I did OK with Apple but not suggesting it was much other than luck.
The ideological difference is that conservatives and libertarians prefer the same amount of confiscation by force, but prefer it to be directed by billionaires rather than by democracy.
I work as software engineer.

I usually do the following:

- get a short list of representative people who work for the company i’m applying for. This usually means: a few engineers and a few managers, linkedin profiles (and if available their github/personal websites). I guess this step could be automated, but I wouldn’t pay for it (since it only takes at most 1h, and I never apply to more than 1 or 2 companies at a time)

- I try to read all the company’s social media stuff online (blog posts, tweets, glassdoor, etc.) Depending on the company this is impossible, so again I try to get a representative sample. Again, could be automated, but I wouldn’t pay for it

- Based on my findings above, I prepare the following: a) a couple of stories about what I have built in the past. I have this already prepared but I may modify it slightly to include buzzwords suitable for the company; b) rehearsal of the usual non-tech stuff companies usually ask (like, talking about my leadership abilities and so on)

I don’t rehearse coding exercises (mainly because I don’t spend too much time preparing interviews, so practising leetcode for a couple of hours is rather pointless). If i’m applying to work with a tech stack that’s new to me then that’s different: I spent around 1 week playing around with it. If i’m applying to a job for which I know the tech stack, the whole preparation takes me around 3-4 days (around 5 hours in total, including the points above). So, I try to know as much as possible about the company. The more they have published online the better (it’s very easy to fake you talk the buzzwords they use when they describe their culture, principles, values, etc.)

It is pretty complicated for the average person to install custom certificates on their OS. I didn't even knew that BankID supported it, pretty much every one uses the app.
You’re being pedantic in all the wrong ways.

I offer you a bet. We flip a perfectly fair coin. On every heads you gain 10% on top of your bet. On every tails you lose 10%.

It is fair to say that after 100 flips you may profit. If one million people play this game, someone almost certainly will. But you can expect to lose money on this game. By the end, the average person will have about 60% of their original holdings (0.9^50 * 1.1^50).

In this game it’s possible for winners to exist. It’s not even uncommon! You only have to get at least 53 out of 100 flips as heads. Unfortunately there’s also no function that lets you determine a winner in advance, and the longer you play this game the greater the expected loss.

All of the available evidence shows that publicly-available actively-managed funds are essentially playing this game. As expected, many have incredible winning streaks… right until they don’t.

Yes, Ren Tech’s Medallion Fund exists. But you can’t contribute to it; they don’t want your money. Because that requires scaling market inefficiencies and that in and of itself is an intractable problem. Novel strategies ripe for profit don’t have unlimited capacity. They rapidly exhaust alpha.
They try to create a biological catalyst and remove perchlorates from soil using Bacillus Stearothermophilus. Genetically engineered bacterium in order to create chemical pathways and break a molecule which otherwise needs huge infrastructure and big machines and manpower to operate.

Not all old folks are quite the same. You could make a similar argument for young people.

From the point of view of the consumer, serviceability is negatively unalloyed. That is, it can always be removed without an associated (positive) tradeoff for the consumer.
Github also squashes the commits of a PR before it merges/rebases it onto a branch though.

I would love to contribute and run a version on my server. Also you need a search engine. Your list is too long to click through categories. The cool thing is you have monetized it -- virtually no open source projects have monetization built it.

The problem with genius being taught is that middling minds make for more accommodating masses.

Can such a world really exist?
I generally prefer to prepay a year. It tends to knock a bit off the price, and is less annoying, as I'm not constantly getting notices of withdrawal. Many companies will actually refund the unused portion, if you cancel early.

However, lifetime subscriptions seem to be almost worthless, as I have yet to encounter a company that doesn't redefine "lifetime," to mean the lifetime of the subscription, which ends, whenever they want.
The writer pinpoints the major problem that I had with using the ROM earlier, which was that the beeper is not fully implemented for MAME. They describe how to get to the setup screen and change it to "flash" instead of beep.

Note that because the specialist keys ([ctrl] for "use front" and [alt] for "leap") can conflict with browser shortcuts, it's probably preferable to try in the standalone emulator instead of the online one.
