The manufacturers should release "firmware" updates; they update the software in the router and fix vulnerabilities or add features.

Your D-Link router from 2014 likely stopped receiving updates within 2-4 years of its manufacture so updating now will still leave you quite outdated, if the manufacturer released any updates at all (and if they did, they may even have pulled them offline as we're now 10 years after the fact).

If you're concerned about the security, you can check if your router is supported by an open-source OS like OpenWRT and flash that over the factory software, or upgrade to a newer model (bearing in mind another consumer router will only get you a few short more years of updates).

If you're really cautious (like I am) you buy something that you can install a router OS on that you know will always be updated; pfSense, OPNSense, OpenWRT, Vy etc.

Correcting the correction:

> When you connect 2 9000 mAh cells in series, the resulting battery has 2x the voltage but the same mAh capacity. In parallel, the battery has the same voltage but 2x the mAh.

The relevant units are:

* Capacity (Q, in mAh, Ah, kWh, etc)

* Power (P, in Watts)

* Voltage (U, in Volts)

* Current (I, in Amperes)

* Duration (t, in mostly measured in hours)

And the relevant formulas are:

* P = U x I or Power equals Voltage(difference) times Current

* Q = P x t or Capacity equals Power times duration

From this we can establish that connecting batteries in series or in parallel will not change their Capacity. When having 13 batteries of 29000mAh, or 29Ah, you have 13 x 29 = 377Ah or 377000mAh.
Connecting batteries in series or parallel does make a difference in voltage and current: a string in series will increase the voltage while keeping the current the same (theoretically, in practice you get less than the current of the weakest cell); a parallel setup will increase the maximum current while keeping the voltage the same (again, in theory).
I have a nation state interest in getting wealthy and trading our comparative advantage. Not paranoid delusions and one-sided brinksmanship.

China can produce things cheaper than we can. “Industrial policy” to make a wealthy nation like the US a competitive low-cost manufacturing hub are delusional. Let us focus on what we are good at and other countries focus on what they are good at.

Realpolitik is making our country wealthier and rationally approaching emerging risks, not banning cheap cars and solar panels because other countries are too good at making them. Let alone engaging in trade wars with our allies and banning acquisitions from Japan.

> You can make it from electrolysis, but it's much more expensive to do so, so that won't happen.

I'm not convinced by that. The cheaper electricity gets, say the way PV is absurdly cheap these days, the less the inefficiency of electrolysis matters.

What doesn't change with cheaper PV etc. is that hydrogen is so hard to work with or store, both as a gas and as a liquid.

I can't rely on my gut feelings or comparisons to e.g. the space shuttle external fuel tank to say if these problems can be "solved" well-enough at an acceptable cost, as I've only got a GCSE in chemistry from the turn of the millennium.

It has to be useful for large organizations like for example IBM who need to maintain consistency on various domains, displays and media types. But I suspect it also can stiffle innovation.
But then would you call yourself homeless if you had friends that let you sleep at their place? That feels disingenuous, there must be a better term for that. Like imagine that situation, if someone would ask you "are you homeless", and you have a place to sleep and say yes, isn't that strange? Perhaps I need to update my definition of common usage of the term but it seemed strange to me to use homeless for someone in, admittedly not the best situation, but with somewhere to sleep outside of a homeless shelter. Thanks for explaining.

I think this extends beyond just engineering, and I wish more data teams made the raw data (or at least some clean, subset) more readily available for folks across organizations to explore. I've been part of orgs where I had access to read-only replicas, and I quickly got comfortable querying and analyzing data on my own, and I've been part of other orgs where everything had to go through the data team, and I had to be spoon-fed all the data and insights.
The cost addressed by regulation is the cost on society of the unregulated behavior.

An alternative might be, no regulation, but businesses are responsible for the costs of business to society (pollution, poor mental health, potential that it's a scam). After all, businesses benefit from these things, so they should gladly cover their cost to society.

Personally, I prefer less pollution.
All those naked 'new's in the example make me nervous. I see that the library uses exceptions, if one of the widget constructor throws while composing the overall widget hierarchy, it would leak memory.

You should be able to make it work with a value-based interface and allocating behind the scenes (this would also enable a few optimization opportunities).
Otoh, I just spent a minute to even comprehend your idea. We are living in the information era, the era of dodging an orange cat has ended. And we suck at this new thing, really. We’re like slow af emulators of logic programs and tend to fallback to animal mode when tired or clueless.
It says so in the article itself:

A few members and myself have commented to explain in various ways what we're solving.

This methodology is being used by most frontend and design teams at medium/large companies. There's a real need for a way to communicate design decisions between humans, teams, and tools at scale. it requires a lot of custom plumbing at the moment and smaller teams don't always have that luxury.

The spec is here to unify the tooling landscape around a single format, which in turn will accelerate innovation in this space, and democratize the methodology all the way to smaller teams.
This looks a bit like a fractal, specifically it reminds me of the Sierpinski triangle, though the XOR texture doesn't seem to be a proper fractal with an associated dimension.

However, according to these replies here the XOR texture and the Sierpinski triangle/tetrahedron are indeed mathematically related: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1080223/what-do-bit... (Admittedly I don't understand the mathematics behind this connection)
No value. There's no risk in providing health insurance to 200 million people. They are, like the journal publishers, just taking advantage of a collective action problem. Even worse, Obamacare enshrined them into law and attempted to make it a fineable offense not to buy their products. Its an entirely parasitic industry, and most of its overhead is dedicated to figuring out ways not to provide health care.

That being said, the only stable function of current Western governments are the graft networks. Everything else either runs by itself or doesn't run at all. They can only function as people expect government to function during emergencies, and that's largely because they can hand out contracts quickly with little review, and possibly use them as pretenses to put long planned projects into action. The countries that have had fully functioning state health care have been spending the 21st century trying their best to dismantle them and sell them off.

That being said, Krugman is another on the list of recently unemployed extreme partisan shills frantically trying to rebrand now that the corporate world sees the Democrats as a sinking ship. He was originally an amazing, careful economist, but happily prostitutes his achievements for praise and cash.

> So you could make the case that at this point private health insurance is, in large part, a parasitical racket. At which point at least some readers will ask me why I didn’t back Bernie Sanders in his call for single-payer, Medicare for all.

> The answer is that this call was and remains politically unrealistic.

It was politically unrealistic because Democrats campaigned day and night against it, suddenly becoming tax hawks and pretending that they didn't understand how much premiums were, because they were paid to, and Krugman lined up at the trough. Single-payer had far more than supermajority support from the Democratic base, and had achieved majority support from Republicans during the Obama administration, with bipartisan public disgust at Obamacare (other than the Medicaid expansion, which had nothing to do with the Heritage through Romney plan, but was used to confuse the public.)

He trots out the industry line:

> The more important problem is that most Americans with employer-sponsored health insurance are happy with their coverage

But ignores the direct questions about single payer that were asked, poll after poll. He's a dog, and stating the obvious. The reason 90% of the public landed between shrugging and cheering when a law-abiding, successful businessman with a wife and children was gunned down in public in cold blood is not because people are satisfied with their healthcare.

If the US spent the same % of GDP on healthcare as any other country, it would have been in surpluses for decades.

The point is “could a parent think this is a site okay for their kids?”

Given the front page, yes. It totally looks reasonable. Even helpful! I get your point with searching which shows what’s really going on but this is going to be hidden from the parents. They certainly aren’t going to know to search yandere or know what that even means.

So all this is to say that cai is purposefully making their true business. Its landing page is “a front” not in just the literal sense. It’s there to give more legitimacy. Its deception
> The evidence of many, many people being penalized by AML and KYC is abundant.

Then provide evidence that it's affecting 99% or even just "the vast majority" of people.

> You saying that because you've had no problems, then there probably is no problem is like someone who's never personally been harassed by the police while driving saying that reports of police brutality against marginalized individuals are probably absurd. Good for you for turning anecdote into evidence.

No, I'm saying "I had no problems, therefore the claim that the 'vast majority' or '99%' of people have this problem will need to be substantiated."

> Patio11's post, which I've seen, also does no favors to your argument. Using a mountain of verbiage, it elaborates how and why the crap I describe happens.

I never said it doesn't happen. I specifically said it doesn't happen to "the vast majority" or "99%" of people. Patio11's post is very clear that, by definition, this does not happen to "the vast majority" of people.

> If you really think that well connected elites are especially hamstrung by AML, KYC and PEP regulations

I posted a link from a financial advisor that explains clearly that this is exactly what happens. In response, you have yet to provide evidence that these regulations affect the vast majority of people in any meaningful way.

It kinda reminds me of how people say they "don't trust" safe, effective medications that went through a gauntlet of clinical trials... so instead they trust random unregulated supplements that anyone can sell online.

At the end of the day I think it's about in-group signalling more than anything else, and certainly wishful thinking more than evidence, but the cognitive dissonance is still shocking. (See also: antivaxxers who cling to HCQ and ivermectin while ignoring that these drugs are manufactured by companies who make vaccines.)
My take on this that's more to do with increase in software complexity and "quarterly thinking" than "people just don't care." As an embedded engineer I don't get much to say except maybe sprint to sprint unless I start my own company.

> If some fly-by-night PC integrator sells a PC today, then goes out of business tomorrow, no, Microsoft absolutely shouldn't be required to open source their operating system.

There is another reasonable solution for Microsoft here. The premise is that the device either has to be supported or open sourced (and therefore supportable by the community). If the OEM is gone the firmware has to be open sourced because the company is no longer supporting it.

But my point earlier was that you shouldn't get out of having to release the source for something just because that component is still supported on other devices. It has to be still supported on this device. But as long as a current version of Windows is still supported on the device by Microsoft, that implies that once the firmware source is released the entire device is still supported.

So then all Microsoft would have to do is make sure they're licensing Windows to run on hardware they're willing to have Windows continue to support for as long as they want to keep the source code unpublished. Which is already their longstanding practice, Windows 11 TPM kerfuffle notwithstanding. Currently supported versions of Windows support hardware going back more than 20 years.
Both things are true: https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2021/10/12/why_do_geni... (“Crime is typically thought of as a low-IQ activity, and most scientific research bears this out.

Yes. The article is click bait. With such a title I would have expected majority of the area to be dummy, but it is just structurally more silicon, exactly like a picture may be majority of its mass wood.
Expect this to be rolled back fully on January 20
The article doesn't answer questions like whether this is unusual, if other CPUs historically have had a lot of dummy silicon, whether this is expensive or how it impacts the cost of production or how it affects the complexity of production itself. It's what I'd expect from modern journalism, but not really what I expect from good journalism.

And meanwhile these posts keep getting flagged, as though HN is not the right place to talk about disruption of the thing that will likely lead to the downfall of American exceptionalism, if not America itself.

I would be fully open to the FTC/CRTC or whatever network/ISP regulator that exists in your country be the determiner of what should be exposed to world+dog. Let them do remote vulnerability scans once a day on all IP addresses assigned to domestic ISPs or locations physically in-country, then flag the IPs that have vulnerable routers.

From there, they can force ISPs to contact their clients to demand the issue be resolved. If the client does not respond to the ISP, the ISP is forced to suspend the connection until the client can demonstrate a fix has been implemented. In all cases, that vulnerability vanishing has the ISP updated so the client is no longer in danger of being pestered.

If the product is still being sold in stores, or is not very far past EoL, and there is no manufacturer patch available, those manufacturers must take their hardware back for a 100% MSRP refund, or provide an equivalent router without those exploits.

It’s only if the product has been no longer manufactured for a minimum set period of time - say, 7 years - that it is deemed “too far past EoL” for the responsibility for patching/replacing to fall on manufacturers, and responsibility finally falls to the consumer to replace/upgrade.

In all cases, a customer can “fix” their router with third-party firmware such as OpenWRT or DD-WRT, but this also requires laws to be written that forces manufacturers to not hardware-lock their routers, and force them to meet the minimum storage/driver-availability specs these third-party firmwares need.

I was taught as a child, and this was Protestant with a clear anti-Catholic bias, that:

* Catholics prayed _to_ Mary (eg asking to intercede on your behalf);

* This was speaking to the dead, and expecting a response, and thus a sin in some way I am not sure of.

I'm guessing you're Catholic from your response; would you mind explaining to this somewhat lost person how Catholics view these two topics please? (I've never heard a good explanation, and even praying "with" Mary is new to me.) I admire Catholicism and wish I felt more trust in it, which is something that comes from childhood indoctrination, I know. Things stick into adulthood even when you're consciously aware of their root. So I'm keen to hear countering views :)
