> if people don't like it, they can vote to change it.

Correction: if the people don't like the entire collection of administrative rules, foreign policy, and general vibes put forward by a single person (the President) they can vote to change that single person. They don't get a say on the rules themselves.

Laws passed case by case by a diverse governing body elected to represent smaller groups of people are more democratic than laws penned by bureaucrats who are accountable to a single person whose election hinges on the marginal vote tallies in a half dozen states.

Me too -- in Portland, Cleveland HS, mid-70s.

The HP 2000 [1] had a timeshared BASIC system that the school district made available to schools, over ASR-33 teletypes with dial-up modems. The BASIC system could edit, run (translate to byte code and execute), manage files. No version control or debuggers back then. The HP 2000 had another layer of of the operating system accessible to administrators (the A000 account if I remember right) but it was the same timeshared BASIC system with some additional commands for managing user accounts and files.

No one familiar with modern IDEs would recognize the HP 2000 BASIC system as an IDE, but it was self-contained and fully integrated around writing BASIC programs. HP also offered FORTRAN for it but not under the timeshared BASIC system. A friend wrote an assembler (in BASIC!) and taking advantage of a glitch in the bytecode interpreter we could load and run programs written in assembly language.

After high school I got a job as night computer operator with the Multnomah County ESD (school district) so I had admin access to the HP 2000, and their two HP 3000 systems, and an IBM computer they used for crunching class registrations. Good times.

Someone had an emulator online for a while, accessible over telnet, but I can't find it now.

Yeah, if it was actual spies or junior enlisted, I doubt we’d hear about it, so this may not be the first time.

Yes, it's pretty trivially easy to detect, even without fancy EW equipment. At one point I admin'd a college dorm's network, wifi/wired, and we didn't allow personal APs for interference reasons (you could run your own switch or router as long as it wasn't a WAP). Our run-of-the-mill networking hardware could find signals and triangulate them down to a couple of feet. A couple residents were flummoxed to learn that the "hidden network" thing doesn't actually do anything, which was hopefully at least a useful educational moment.

Any decent SDR can notice such things, presumably not to mention actual EW equipment. It's only really with sub-noise-floor gold code type stuff where a signal doesn't jump out on a waterfall spectrum chart, and even then it's generally fairly obvious at close range. I can only speculate as to why that didn't actually happen here.

i love onshape and the capabilities featurescript offers. I wish they had a hobbyist pricing that only provided minor QOL offerings like the ability to make some things private. As long as it remains free for public use though I am very happy using it.

The problem with the current crop of REBCO superconductors is not the cryogenics but the actual ceramic material being brittle. You can't make a wire or a cable, you can only operate with stiff, thin, fragile bars. On top of that. it's not cheap, $100-200 per meter of typical 200kA power band. I suppose copper is like an order of magnitude cheaper just for the cable, ignoring the whole liquid nitrogen piping.
You want a chip that never powers down? Boy, have I got a deal for you. zero transistor waste, zero extra crap just like you asked for. It's a 286. Limited availability so gonna have to ask $5000 per chip.
As a designer with some technical skills, I feel like I’m the ideal target audience for this. I’ve gravitated towards Webflow because it strikes a great balance between design flexibility and technical capability, and I’ve tried nearly everything out there in search of a solution like yours.

I highly recommend looking at Webflow’s component system and their partially-launched Library feature for inspiration (also check out Relume).

A service like yours that offers a library of foundational sections with customization options on top would be a game-changer. Best of luck! Let me know if you need any specific user testing.

Sorry, I seem to have miscommunicated: I'm not commenting on the rule, I actually quite like it in principle. I'm commenting on the manner in which the rules are created and their fragility.

Laws passed by Congress tend to stick around and can be counted on. I want a law banning noncompetes, not a temporary administrative rule that gets added to the pile of things that could get completely upended with each and every presidential election.
I think there's probably a good middle ground that could be found. Maybe an "unmaintained" repo that can be activated or called ala backports. I definitely don't think things should be fully removed if working. But some sort of indicator or opt-in based on the status makes sense.

Agreed. While other commenters say that this can't be stopped, humans need their wifi, etc., I sincerely hope naval intelligence caught this nearly immediately and determined it wasn't an operational hazard, or even better that their new relationship with starlink gave them "enterprise visibility" into this unauthorized civilian link that just happened to be following the path of one of their ships and allowed them to do packet sniffing, etc. and then left it to the normal system to sort it out.

>in the matter of law?

The question is a matter of law.

If the law is vague, it is the duty of the judiciary to call that out and of the legislature to rewrite the law to be more precise. Vague laws are not an excuse for executive agencies to go ham, and I applaud the judiciary for reining in executive abuse of power.

That the specific consequence is enforcement of non-competes is ultimately irrelevant.

OP was quoting wikipedia which also says that business+chief+employees were transferred to a new company Shin-Kongo (ie “New Kongo”).

So it depends on what you mean by “they”, the company with the old name Kongo Gumi is no longer in construction, but otherwise the company with the new name Shin Kongo is, as a subsidiary of another conglomerate.

Tulkarm. Qualqilya. Abu Dis. Bayt Awa.

There's no comparison whatsoever between these ancient (and continuously inhabited) municipalities and the modern Israeli settlements. (The first 3 anyway. Beit 'Awwa was settled in antiquity, then abandoned, then re-settled again the 19th century, with some 7,000 inhabitants by 1948).

Obviously Palestinians are doing this too, and have been doing it for far longer than Israeli settlers have done it.

Doing "this" as in what the settlers are doing, no. Nothing even remotely like it.

Palestinians live in areas where they can't even provide basic necessities (like water)

Right, because of a long-term strategy of the Israeli government to deny them such.

and leave huge areas where they COULD live entirely empty.

If so that's their problem, not yours.

Let's be honest here: the only thing Palestinians are doing there is not living, they're trying to conquer, and at least partially succeeding.

They're not conquering anything. It was already theirs to begin with.

This post is easily one of the most bizarre attempted analogies I've ever seen on HN.

Cisco Wifi Equipment has long had the ability to detect, and even "block", what they define as "Rogue" Wireless Networks. In fact, one of their clients landed in legal trouble for using such[1], and they have since dialed back said features to make it less misusable.

I had a somewhat close friend who had a very sudden and dramatic psychotic break that he disclosed to me while it was happening. He believed that people in his family were conspiring to entrap him in a criminal conspiracy, and was in a panic. This progressed further over a few days until I was no longer able to continue to try to talk him through it. There were a number of details to his beliefs that made it absolutely clear it was not real. Unfortunately I was not able to get through to him to get help (as far as I know) and the people I tried to connect him with were very unhelpful.

The reason I’m sharing this is that I think people tend to believe that people are exclusively either “crazy” or “not crazy” as an ontological property of the person, but as many other anecdotes here show, it really can happen to people randomly. Some are able to get help and recover. Some aren’t.

While I definitely wish there was someone I could have called who could go give him real aid and assistance, I also know that this could have been a terrifying, trust-breaking ordeal and possibly could have even led to violence and imprisonment, or other serious consequences.

People like to talk about “public mental health resources” but unless you’re willing to sic what amounts to police armed with tranquilizers on people who very well may (reasonably?) not wish to be subdued against their will, it’s not really that simple.

Definitely a difficult and fraught subject. I don’t think the answer is to validate psychosis however.
> people are just not used to

When the situation is "there is an epidemic of a disease transmitted from human to humans" that people do not go breathing in each other's face is not a matter of «follow[ing] rules» but following good common sense. If people freak out realizing and following good common sense, there is a massive societal problem.

And going to the matter of «freedoms ... curtailed», the instantiation of "treat them like retards" had been to forbid people in deserts to leave the house*. If the administrations arrive to absurd satanic ruling, there is again a massive societal problem.

The problem remains not with freedom per se but with (the absence of) intellectual light.

> Until those numbers are at-or-near zero, every ounce of renewable electricity needs to be offsetting dirty electricity.

That’s not realistic. You can and probably will have a complete excess of renewable energy on bright and windy days that is well beyond electrical demand, and at the same time rely on baseload power during still nights. Energy storage helps even things out, and plasma gasification is one possible way to store that energy.

My guess would be that it won't - Arrow Lake (different codename ~= significant process difference) is coming later this year for desktop and high TDP mobile and the vibe I'm getting from Intel's materials and media coverage is that it will have conventional non-integrated memory. Plus two of the major advantages of moving the memory onboard are more bandwidth to feed the integrated graphics and lower power consumption, neither of which is much of a concern on desktop.
You may not like the executive action rollercoaster, but it’s the one you’re on.

> It's a coin flip if Trump gets re-elected and I guarantee the left will suddenly find the wisdom of executive limits on power if he gets in office

Actually, the left isn’t inconsistent in the way you are saying. They bemoaned Trump’s efforts to undermine the independence and meritocracy the administrative state. They don’t want anyone to turn the administrative state into an executive power center.

For example, the left complained when the trump admin tried to make it easier to fire civil servants and replace them with political appointees.

The left has an extremely consistent view of the administrative state. They want it to exist as a quasi-fourth branch where the president doesn’t have full authority to turn those agencies into an embodiment of their personal will.

The left views the administrative state as an additional check on certain areas where our three branches fall short on managing a complex array of the day to day operation of the country.

By “left” I do mean the neoliberal left, not “communists who don’t shower much” left, because that’s how far right we are these days. The Republican Party used to believe in the administrative state and still mostly does outside of MAGA-world.
