Why this isn't front-page news in every Western country is the press' failure to understand technical matters, or perhaps the public's utter disinterest in unglamorous infrastructure. This is the US' own Sulla moment, an incident that will be quoted in future history books as the beginning of the end of the republic.
Which is why 185 isn’t. (Lock-ups have also gone into and out of vogue. And again, this is a problem with the company’s treatment of withholding. The lock-up agreement could go away and OP would retain their problem.)

I've designed PCBs using connectors with multiple parallel wires to carry high currents. It's hard to do, and very easy to mess up during later PCB changes. You have to match trace resistances from each pin to the destination. The resistance in the traces is probably higher than the resistance in the wires, so the wires don't help balance the current much.

It's easy to mess up during minor PCB changes because the netlist doesn't capture the important bit. An autorouter would happily connect the pins of the connector together and cause uneven current sharing.
Because to get it working, something like udev, edev, libinput needs to be brought over, polluting a clean system. Some quotes from:

https://xenocara.org/Wayland_on_OpenBSD.html

>Input is more complex to get working since Wayland applications expect Linux input model with udev, evdev and libinput.

>seatd and libseat provide support for non-systemd based systems. A basic port to OpenBSD/wscons is needed

So Wayland requires Linux specific items to be ported to BSD. Maybe FreeBSD did all that work themselves. Was that work accepted into upstream ? Based on how Linux works these days, I doubt it. So maybe each new Wayland Release will need to be patched for FreeBSD.
It's tangential to the topic (though mentioned in the article towards the end) so I'll be lazy and ask the crowd here: What's the current state of the art in powerline networking?

I have an application to network a couple of outbuildings. I don't have tremendous bandwidth needs (1Gbps would be glorious, 100Mbps would be fine). I would prefer wired connections for reliability and privacy. I would prefer not to trench and run fiber. The outbuildings already have electrical service from a central panel. Powerline networking might be a good fit.

There's a lot of consumer stuff out there. I'd like something a little more geared toward an industrial, commercial, or service provider use. (Analogously, think of the difference between using a dumb Netgear switch versus a managed name-brand managed switch.)

Edit: I appreciate the feedback I'm hearing here. This is exactly the kind of stuff I wanted to hear. Sorry to hijack HN for my personal needs like this!

There have been cases before where both the Executive and Legislative branches have been held by the same party. What's different now is that Trump is trying to consolidate much more power in the Executive branch (an explicit Project2025 goal), and Congress is powerless because the GOP are all afraid of highly vociferous MAGA reprisals (I mean, he did pardon all those who violently stormed the capitol and threatened to kill government officials). Trump's strategy (a smart one, I might add), is to push beyond the boundaries of the law as far and fast as he can and see what, if any, resistance he meets.

Nixon attempted something similar but Congress didn't let him get away with it (and passed the Impoundment Control Act, which Trump is now flouting).

I'm not going to try convincing you, as again, the attitude you express is very common across Europe. Just a small question you may want to consider: how come the US is calling the shots everywhere around the world, Mid-East, Ukraine, etc., and in all technological issues that matter. Where is Europe in all this? Ten years ago, at least Angela Merkel was sitting at the table. Can you claim with a straight face that the influence of Europe has not decreased?
How is voicing an opinion and taking civil action "subverting democracy" now? It's not like people are storming the capitol, is it? They are organizing and protesting against unpopular policies in good old fashioned democratic ways.

Not so - Japan's [criminal] justice system is absolutely not "universally considered to be one of the worlds' fairest". Cite any authoritative source for claiming that. Most sources I found cite the Nordic countries or other W European countries.

(A high conviction rate at trial in Japan is merely due to not having a right-to-silence, imprisonment till trial, prosecutors discretionarily dropping some cases.)
Its even worse than the same party having a majority everywhere.

Trump's cult-like pull and the associated threat of the world's richest man (who still talks about the dangers of the global elites with no sense of irony) bankrolling a primary against anyone who steps out of line have effectively erased the congress as an independent branch entirely.

There are Republicans in the house and senate and even Trump's own administration that I believe aren't aligned with what he is doing but they lack the spine to say so beyond the most superficial talk about their "concerns" (and then still voting for everything he demands).
Plurality is the correct term. But this is exactly how representative democracy works. The coalition with most representatives gets to enact policies and decide executive decisions.
I don't think people realize just how much thoughtful design went into the original Nissan Leaf and just how well designed it was. Sure, it's ugly as sin and a glorified golf cart with respect to it's range but it's also a rock solid EV and very forward thinking EV.

In terms of safety, it came standard with backup cameras and low speed noise features that are now mandatory on all EVs in the US. In 2013 they introduced a heat-pump option and had features like heated seats and steering wheel to reduced the climate control draw on the meager battery.

The Tesla Model 3 that came out 5 years later didn't have low speed noise, heat-pump, or heated steering wheel. Though they were added later.

In terms of reliability, it just works, so many other EVs are completely unreliable and suffer from numerous issues, many of which have nothing to do with the EV platform. Tesla, Lucid, and VW all have or had issues with door handles. GM couldn't seem to make water proof batteries that didn't explode. Kia's EVs go through 12v batteries faster than a vibrator goes through AA batteries. BMWs are great right up until you DC Fast Charge them, at which point they like to go into limp mode and throw faults.

What is Elon Musk getting up to with America's payment system?
Objectively untrue. Voting irregularities aside, far more people sat the election out entirely, and of those who voted, there was a vanishingly small lead Trump & co had.

The majority of the country is disengaged & apathetic. That's worse than a majority "wanting this," in my personal opinion, but the majority of the country did not vote for this, they just didn't vote at all.
They do not.

The majority of the country either did not vote, or voted against Trump.

Most of those who did vote for Trump did so on the basis of immigration, economic or the culture war -- not so he could dismantle the federal government and (e.g.) halt funding for cancer research.

Trump explicitly disavowed Project 2025 when it was clear it was hurting his electoral prospects (even though that plan is precisely what is playing out now.)

So you are arguing we should just let people die?

This is a cancer that is typically detected only after it advances far enough that you will be dead in 6 months (not treatment possible). If we could detect it 2 years sooner it would be treatable and most people could life for many more years. Sure the total cost of a positive will be much higher - between whatever tests to verify it isn't a false positive, and all the treatment it will be a lot more money. However by spending that money many people will live a lot longer.

Maybe you don't like any old people, but I often wish I could show my dad my latest project. This test could have saved his life if we had it 15 years ago.
Good question, I didn't talk about this in the writeup.

It's because I think that this design is the most efficient use of space, if you want to ensure that Game Boy cartridges don't stick out (like they do on the GBA). The device is divided into a front half and a back half, with the PCB in the middle. The screen and buttons are all in the front half, and the cartridge and battery are in the back half. If the device were landscape, you'd have the cartridge take up the entire middle space in the back half, leaving smaller spaces to the left and right (under the Dpad and face buttons) for the battery. So you'd either need to use two smaller batteries (and deal with that), or use a single battery (and have worse battery life and an empty space).

It's definitely possible, this just seemed like the simpler way forward. I probably would actually personally prefer a landscape orientation. Maybe in a future version!
Apparently it takes time to change a color, because in Germany we still have the old red. Bonus: There's already Telekom, which bases its entire Magenta brand about... the color Magenta.

What's even crazier is that Nix builds are this reproducible for free. Like, joe random developer can:

nix build nixpkgs#vim
nix build nixpkgs#vim --rebuild

The first invocation will substitute binaries, and the second will rebuild those locally and validate the bit for bit reproducibility of the results.

In Debian there is significant ceremony and special tools/wrappers required to set up the reproducible environment, so no one would bother to use it unless they were specifically working on the https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds initiative.

Well it's more initially as a response to the internet (as an uncontrolled media landscape) and so-called "hybrid warfare" -- but it was deployed against trump, and increasingly so-called "far-right populism" against which it was "necessary" to deploy the full resources of the executive to "preserve democracy" (claims I don't entirely disagree with, but tactics which are nevertheless unconstitutional).

Consider that Wikipedia lists the Biden connection to ukraine as a "conspiracy theory" but the trump connection to Russia as "Links between Trump associates and Russian officials" (there is no Trump connection to Russia, this was an invention of the security services; and there are as many "Links" between Biden associates and Ukraine -- but, as with trump, there is no Joe Biden-Ukraine link).
I fully agree, but you don't need a puff piece about her for that.

We do get conversations with former convicts who are doing good things for their communities sometimes, and that is worthy of a hagiography, a proper redemption and an understanding that the person was not 1-dimensional.

Just in the interest of earnestness, there are people who are exactly as black as they are painted. I'm not sure if Holmes is one of them, she certainly had opportunities that many will never be afforded and I don't think this point can be denied. But if she wants a redemption arc then it must be earned; not paid for.

Humanising villains is important, but this is not what's happening, these pages are implying that she was wronged, that she's the victim. But it's clear as day that she is the architect of her own misery.

I'm sorry but that is a very naive and honestly wrong take. An "extra scan" is not just giving anxiety. It raises cancer rates. It can discover underlying relatively bening conditions which affect insurance coverage, for example. It can cause anxiety. It takes away resources "just to make sure". At the scale you are proposing, false positives are a massive issue that you simply cannot ignore. It is all but trivial.

> being a dissident may not be in one's best interest.

I agree, if you're not a fan of democracy, you might not want to be a dissident in the current American environment. If you are, then you most likely want to be a dissident, otherwise it'll slowly disappear before your eyes, and you'll be too late to be able to change it soon.

If you're in the latter camp, learn how to protect and hide yourself rather than becoming apathetic because you're afraid of the consequences.

I think your view is a bit odd in a sense that, average people don't go to court to gain or create economically values. Ignoring the headline ambulance chasing case here, there usually is an injured party to a transaction. In my case, if I didn't go to court, then I wouldn't have gotten anything back, so that's a negative economical outcome to me.

In theory, I should get my security deposit back promptly and tenants should pay rent on time. But in reality, that's just not the case. Court is the only mechanism that we have that give us the authority to take back what's ours legally. But it also creates a guard rail to forces bad actors to behave better.
This is beautiful.

I first encountered this style of data manipulation in R's tidyverse. Some say C# (or F#?)had similar pipes and influences, but I haven't seen specifics.

Some other data libraries like Polars have sort of similar parse trees, but they also have lots of extra cruft because of limitations to the underlying language. Python's functional calling semantics are extremely powerful, but not quite as powerful as R's.

>seemingly without audit or checks and balances

Federal agencies are regularly audited - internally by their own inspectors general, and externally by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) - and most of those reports are publicly available. There are numerous checks on these agencies including management by the president, who can typically fire at will, and oversight by Congress.

Like him or not, Elon Musk is not an auditor, has no relevant experience or expertise and is deeply compromised as he profits from large federal contracts. Giving him unchecked power with no accountability is not the proper way to shine a light on fraud, it's a way to get more of it.

The concerns he points out — especially about hostile or enemy nations and actors getting a better chance to gather data and understand how to subvert or attach the country — seem valid.

There is a difference between elected officials doing stupid or insecure things vs. unelected people being able to do this without any checks and balances.

Not sure what "this" is that the "majority" of the country wants, but, be careful what you wish for.

The fact that the majority of the country is apparently okay with violent and coercive attempts to overturn democratic elections (in other democratic countries we call that an attempted coup), is a strong indictment of the majority of Americans. But, to your credit, at least you're owning your fascist tendencies!

> In what sense is half a percent of territorial gain for 400 000 casualties "beating" anyone? It is textbook Pyrrhic victory.

Maybe gaining territory was not really the objective, maybe not all territory is considered equal.

Also they gained 20% of Ukraine along with some of it's population, if they gained more than 400 000(or whatever the actual number is) people, then the exchange was profitable.

It would have been interesting to see how many people would the US have been willing to sacrifice had the Cuban Missile Crisis would not have been averted.

> Russia has no armour left to exploit breakthroughs

They might be fighting with clubs, slingshots and shovels, but they are still gaining ground, so either this is not true, or the Russians are so good that they don't need armour. Since I have seen Ukrainian videos with recent dates that show columns of Russian armour, I would say that it's probably not true.

> territorial gains have stalled

They have actually accelerated, remember how long Bakhmut lasted? Now they are speedrunning it, they capture something militarily important almost every month.

> no end in sight

There is: Ukraine wants to recruit 18 year olds, clearly they are at the end of their rope.

> being stuck in unwinnable war like this is a nightmare scenario

They can freeze the conflict whenever they want, the Russians don't want to because they feel that they have the initiative, that's why it's so difficult to negotiate with them.

> abandoned village in rural Ukraine

In military context small villages can have significant importance. Landfills can be incredibly important as well even though they don't have much intrinsic value.

> exchange tens of thousands of lives

Maybe that's a win for them, maybe they just want to erase military power and even if their exchanges are less efficient it might still be worth it for them because they can absorb the higher cost in lives due to their larger population. I do believe that because the Russians are more numerous and have their own military industry, it's the Ukrainians that suffer more casualties, however it doesn't matter because if it meets their objective, it's a victory.
I don't think this is a useful comparison. This is Google's bug with Google's software vs. Project Zero's discoveries are (as I understand them) typically in software used by multiple people and thus there's a higher urgency to fix them.
Are you seriously asking why Microsoft, the company that has experienced what it means to have power over others (anti competitive practices of the 90s on Windows that led to the United States v. Microsoft Corp. case), should not let Google have total control over what the web should be? should not let Google and Apple be the sole deciders of what should be in the appstore of the most used computing device of the planet?

> Apple Music exists as an ecosystem play

And so? Are you implying MS doesn't need an ecosystem of their own?

MS has. stopped. competing. That's it. That's all. Azure is not a moat, it's highly profitable but it also highly prone for disruption. Office is all they have left.

Man, they don't even need to have as much marketshare as Apple for their presence to be meaningful in the mobile market. They just need enough to be sustainable on their own and keep the competitors "honest".

The more MS transitions to cloud stuff and browser based apps the more they become Google's sharecroppers.
It is NOT a good thing for markets to consolidate as much as they have over the past decades.

I think maybe the user is implying that a civil war will break out. I started reading about the original American Civil War after recent events. The lead up to that was protracted. As long as some states begin assembling militias now and unify, it's probable they will be able to mount an attack against the Federal government as happened back then.
