Under our brand of capitalism, the system pressures the working class doubly hard to use the cheapest things on the market, and guilts the middle class to aspire to more expensive goods which are Ethical, or Natural, or Lite, or Healthy, or Artisan, or whatever buzzword of the day prevails.

Boycotts are a luxury that only the middle class can afford to participate in, and they don't really have the potential to participate in more than one or two at a time.

That is not a restriction that an effective boycott of an entire industrial method can labor under. The "personal responsibility" crowd have it dead wrong - we are trapped in this system and have very limited choices about what we consume, far too limited to allow us to collectively throw out an industrial technique that is anything less than lethal to us.
I don't see how this system will create billionaires and people living in excess while others go without. It'll never work! :)
For me it's both, as well as the unknown unknowns over the next 5-10 years. There's a chance that everything changes so dramatically that it feels almost worthless to commit to anything. We need some kind of term for this AI malaise.
Ask HN: What do you use as a home phone, if you have kids without phones?
As an adult, I have never had a landline in my home. I now have several pre-teen kids and none have their own cellphone. When the older ones are home alone, I leave out an old iPhone that is connected to the home wifi network; that's enough for them to call family (through Facetime) or 911. But this isn't ideal because the phone is not always charged or the younger kids hide it. Is a landline the only real solution?

Anyone that has developed for Android, WebOS, ChromeOS is fully aware that the Linux kernel is an implementation detail, full of features not available upstream, like drivers written in Rust, which remains to be seen if it will ever have them.

Also given that the kernel is not exposed to userspace, other than to device vendors, it could be replaced by something else with very little impact to userspace, other than whatever people are doing in their rooted devices or via ADB shell, both meanigless for common consumers.
Oh really. We haven't used it in years but when we were small and just getting our start we used it and really liked it.

True. The paradoxical thing is that even organic agriculture doesn't currently care much about microplastics given that they are not tested. It's a huge blind spot.

This seems like an extremely high bar, that doesn’t seem to be practical in real world conditions (in the context of people like Meloni, not people who openly call themselves fascist/nazis and/or embrace their ideological beliefs).

Why don’t we apply the same standards to British Conservative politicians?

Why aren’t they expected to unequivocally denounce Churchill and most other major British politicians that preceded him (I’m not directly equating him personally with Mussolini but he and many other British prime ministers before him were brutal imperialists whose actions regularly directly or indirectly resulted in millions of deaths). I don’t see how British Imperialism was somehow fundamentally inherently less evil than Italian Fascism (it might have been to some extent but where do we draw the line?). Yet we accept or tolerate all sorts of symbolism from that period with little controversy.

British Empire might not be on the same level as Nazi Germany, the USSR, Mao’s China but I don’t see how it (or British Imperialism as an ideology) was particularly less evil than Fascist Italy.

On one hand it didn’t ally itself with an even more evil and genocidal regime (largely due to strategic reasons and not ideological affinity, these were still rival ideologies after all), was a limited democracy and occasionally allowed some freedom of speech on the other hand it did directly cause much more deaths and suffering over its existence). I think the main difference is that Britain (unlike Italy) was actually actually good at subjugating and exploiting other countries (with an occasional “lite” genocide mixed in), therefore it was in a position to shape the historical narrative and we have collectively decided that their positive contributions more or less outweigh all of the other stuff..

What I said might sound pretty distasteful, maybe even disgusting but I don’t see how is it particularly worse than selective [hypocritical] moral indignation).

Meloni isn’t anymore fascist than Boris Johnson is someone who wants to re-subjugate Ireland and reestablish the British empire.

And what other options are there? If we demonize people like her we’ll just end up with someone who might actually publicly embrace fascist values and ideas and would actually openly support fascist states like Russia (unless there is some way to suddenly convert 20-30% or of the electorate in Italy and other European countries to social-liberalism…).

This seems as good a place to ask as any: how does one obtain a (larger) block of IPv6 not via their ISP/datacenter and then route it (to a network they control) through their ISP/datacenter-provided IPv6 uplink? Is that even possible?

Land line is the safest bet.
In the US at least, there's also a guarantee that there will always be a dialtone on a paid line even if you have a power outage in your home (assuming of course that you have an actual traditional un-powered phone plugged into the line).
Google pixel with grapheneOS is where I ended up as well. I think there was more interest in privacy focused OSes for a while, but it died out. The community has coalesced around google pixels and other phones/manufacturers have hardened against 3rd party OSs.

Linux phones are just not there, and getting non-smart phone would be better than a linux phone for reliability.
Also, paying 1000+$ for a… phone is insane when you think about it.
> But pushing Apple to make iOS available on other phone hardware

Wait where are you getting this from?

> While the announcement is a step shy of being a formal investigation, the EU aims to compel Apple to re-engineer its services to allow rival companies to access the iPhone’s operating system. One of the aims of the DMA is to ensure that other developers can gain access to key iPhone features, such as its Siri voice commands and its payments chip.

It sounds more like pushing Apple to open some APIs and allow for some more integrations, which seems much more reasonable than your interpretation.
It's the same signaling standard. It's just a different plug on the side.
Uau is that still around?!
Yeah that's the funny part: in the US you should pay thousands of dollars for the basic exam / ambulance ride and many people don't have coverage while in entirety of europe is basically free, but the US gov is still paying 50% more in GDP than the other
Open source exists because people can contribute. People can contribute because they have something to contribute. They own.

In a socialist system, the government owns or controls all of the means of production, so open source would not exist. Only what the government wants to exist would exist.
Yeah, I've lived in the northeast US my whole life and have never seen "Chile" used for anything but the country before; the pepper and the food are both spelled "chili" in my experience. That being said, pronouncing the country's name as a homophone of "chili" is a bit of an anglicism too, since from what I remember of Spanish in high school, the more accurate pronunciation would be something like "chee-lay" rather than "chill-ee". I wouldn't be shocked if both the spelling "chili" and the pronunciation of it had roots in the name of the country and in English usage drifted over time (sort of like the pronunciation of the name of the city "Amarillo" in Texas).
Presumably because Lichess is free thus doesn't have contractual obligations and SLAs that they'll be sued for breaching.
I worry a lot about the similar forces that act on foreign policy and diplomacy. Unfortunately people don't get more cautious as the stakes get higher, organisations at all stakes and scales tend to fail in the same way.

So here in GDPR land, there is the concept of reasonableness.

Facebook are explicitly not allowed to farm for PII, so unless they have explicit consent, they can't scan for faces to reject people who have opted out.
Plus, how do you hold a descriptor for someone who's opted out, because you're not allowed to hold any data on them?

Therefore its unreasonable for them to guarantee them they will never process your data when submitted by a third party.

You seem to be taking my comments as a pro-meta stance. Its very much not.

If you can design a way to stop people's data being processed when uploaded by a third party, I want in on that. lets start a movement to get it working.

The US bans most of the cotton from China, the worlds largest producer, because of slavery. The US also produces a third of global cotton and is the leading exporter. You certainly have some American cotton in your closet, a huge portion of the people around the world will have American cotton in their clothes.

And for the rest... talking to climate doomers isn't interesting or productive. You'll only believe negative things, you demonstrably here don't know what you're talking about and just make things up to fit the narrative you have in your head. You clearly knew nothing about cotton production but made up facts without bothering to look for information at all. You make up your climate facts as well, do you know anything about the climate models for what will happen in the cotton growing regions of the US? Or have you heard vague things about droughts and decided to parrot those and assume they apply here because they supported your doom thoughts?

I had the original Warhammer figurines as a kid that my older brother didn't want. I remember bending the metal (I was maybe 4 or 5) and putting it in my mouth for some reason like I did with lego when I couldn't snap a piece off.

I’ve unintentionally worked with and helped implement systemization and automation over a dozen different accounting systems and ERPs. They blur together.

Since I have a tech background, it’s not uncommon for me to say an accounting system or ERP is just line item rows moving though tables leaving their history behind… and how do you need it… and now it exists, haha.

A few questions:

- Journals and accounts are traditionally taught as the manual way to track different financial activities and ensure accurate reporting. Journals capture transactions as they happen, while accounts categorized them for analysis. Now that we have databases and reporting tools, is there a sense of where reporting or crunching things like profitability, job costing, etc could be built up from this?

Account code migration - when implementing a new accounting system, companies tend to dither over getting their GL right, or changing it up at implementation. Being able to maintain that history could help migration of data easier.

As someone who has helped design and lead implementations overall, with accountants handling their part, accounting depts can get caught in trying to do a lot with accounts and journals in lieu of a report.. while databases have allowed ERPs to report in ways (dimensions, etc) that might not be about accounts or journals alone.

Mostly I’m thinking about organizations that wanted to build up calculation of profitability by asset, or resource or service, or product, and how a project like this could help people easily do it from these first principles.
Right, that is the (weak) counterpoint from that region

They’ve been at war for 50 years, like, officially the war declaration was never dropped.

As knowledgeable users of the Internet in 2024, we would do well to assume that nothing is 100% “safe” (I.e. there’s no such thing as perfect security/privacy).

However, some things, like Tor, can make your use of the Internet safer.

If all you’re doing is arguing that Tor shouldn’t be used because it isn’t/was never “safe”, then you might as well not use the Internet at all.
Fair enough. Was just curious. :)
As someone who was unfortunate enough to use Quickbooks professionally for several years, I laughed out loud at that meme on the bottom of the readme. Wish you all the luck.
Not by default it’s not. An ipv6-only deployment cannot natively access an ipv4 network, there is no backwards comparability in the protocol.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually one of the reasons why Sun fought MS and Google when they tried to make their own "Java" versions (embrace+extend). They didn't want a repeat of the J2ME situation.
SMR's make absolutely no sense to me.

Any engineer knows that one-offs are way easier & cheaper to design & build than production-ready designs & the factory to build them. Building a prototype car is an undergrad project. Taking it to production costs billions. You need significant volume before factories make sense, and it's not clear that SMR's will cross that threshold.

But let's say that SMR's do cross that threshold. Then what? A power plant incorporating one or more SMR's is still a mega-project with all the problems that mega-projects and especially nuclear mega-projects have. You still have all the planning & permitting costs, the large building with special design needs, the cooling infrastructure, the massive expensive turbines, et cetera. SMR's only target a very small fraction of the cost of a nuclear project. Halving 10% of the cost is not going to make nuclear competitive in a world where it has to compete with other power sources being at least an order of magnitude cheaper.

Coal plants and fission plants have a similar principle: they heat water to turn turbines. So you're highly unlikely to get their cost below that of a coal plant. A new build 600MW coal plant was estimated to cost $2B in 2008.[1]

First some thoughts about your specific example: My impression (although, just from working in something very tenuously related to automotive stuff) is that the real time, safety critical stuff, and the entertainment center stuff, are on two unrelated computers, ideally with very little connection between them.

The safety critical stuff really ought to be supported for the lifetime of the car. But it shouldn’t have internet access anyway, so a big source of attacks is not available. They sometimes update that software when you go in for maintenance, right? It seems fine.

The entertainment center, why shouldn’t we be able to install our own OS on it? Those things are always quite buggy anyway, I’d love to install Linux on mine.

More generally:

Yes, I’ll admit I was going for a bit of back door trickiness. I do think it would be hard to just open up a lot of current platforms.

If the law is that manufacturers must either release “everything” (hand-wave-ily) or offer a full refund in order to release their support obligation, then I’d expect them to do one of the following:

* Make new designs that are easier to open up. A win for everybody! They can push back on the license terms for the libraries they use. Or, perhaps some mechanism could be designed so that they open up the rest of their platform, and the library developer that doesn’t want to open up can keep their part of the support obligation.

* Extend the support lifetime to the point where they are happy to just offer refunds to the few remaining users.

As you say,

> And expecting/dictating a reasonable lifetime from a product might be the better choice - and as the EU directive regarding user-replacable smartphone batteries shows, this goes beyond software.

But I think a reasonable lifespan depends on the type of device, locking in a specific number with the law seems difficult. Offering a choice instead would let the lifetime be set dynamically, but without the current odd situation where obligations just evaporate into nothingness.

It is indeed similar to DynamoDB as well as the original Cassandra Thrift API! This is intentional since those are both targeted backends and we need to be able to migrate customers between Cassandra Thrift, Cassandra CQL and DynamoDB. One of the most important things we use this abstraction for is seamless migration [1] as use cases and offerings evolve. Rather than think of KeyValue as the only database you ever need, think of it like your language's Map interface, and depending on the problem you are solving you need different implementations of that interface (different backing databases).

Graphs are indeed a challenge (and Relational is completely out of scope), but the high-scale Netflix graph abstraction is actually built atop KV just like a Graph library might be built on top of a language's built in Map type.
