I am Canadian so I am "biased" (whatever that means in this context) but tariffs on resources are just non-sensical to me.

Take Aluminium, it's produced in Canada because our energy cost is low, we don't even have bauxite deposits and it is shipped by boat to the factories. Adding tariffs on that doesn't lead to better Aluminium production in the US since energy in the US is still expensive.

I thought the point was to on-shore manufacturing, so things like planes and cars, all of which would need cheap steel and aluminium to compensate for the higher US manufacturing cost.

Still confused about the tariffs on Canada at all though seeing as I thought the mindset was more us-vs-China, but I guess that deserves its own discussion.
> Traditional fireplaces are immensely inefficient, drawing in 300 cubic feet of air per minute for combustion and expelling up to 85 percent – along with the heat – up the chimney.

So the other 45 cubic feet exhaust per minute go where? Into the rooms to suffocate the people there?
It is because most pigeons we see in cities are rock pigeon and were usually making their nest in cliff, crevases and rock formation[1]. Not in tree. Therefore, they never needed to make such artfully crafted nest since the rock was already providing enough shelter.
This is also why they are very adapted to live in cities, because our concrete jungles are actually closer (in their verticality, materials, and relative lack of trees) to mountainous terrain than to a jungle.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
I would guess that the plan is to funnel as much money from people/businesses into the government which then ends up being redistributed to the 1% via tax cuts or other nefarious means. From outside of the U.S. it also looks like the plan is to destroy the U.S. so that it can be plundered/bought up cheaply - remember that Trump's speciality is real estate.

Terrifying that this could happen as recently as 2008 and, I'm sure, with better understanding of potential consequences.

In 1966, something similar (although with a mining waste dump, instead of ash) happened in Aberfan, Wales (in the UK) with a more tragic outcome[1].

The question should be whether this occurred due to ignorance or ignoring the lessons of history, which rhymes if not repeats.

I find this line of reasoning disingenuous. After all, we couldn't consume milk hundreds of thousands of years ago. Does your evolutionary heritage put you in places where hundreds of thousand of years ago you would have consumed lemons, coffee, and maple syrup? Is half-and-half natural? Is coffee? Is maple syrup? On a scale of hundreds of thousands of years all those are relatively recent.

It's a bit of straw-man, but I'm try to point out that we can't appeal to being in alignment with our evolution when even those barebone items have been refined and we wouldn't have eaten them in our prehistory.
I love this kind of thing. Something about the font hurts my eyes though, I think there's just slightly too few pixels in it.
Cloud Data Analytics Is a Scam
> These ppl need to be held accountable for this scam

Tech used to deliver incredible things, so people got used to bold claims becoming realities.

That has not been the case for along time now. Everything is evolving slowly step by step. But tech companies are valued based on the old infinite growth potential. So, CEOs lie to achieve that kind of valuation.

I agree that they seem to be committing fraud and they should be held accountable. But I am afraid that too much rich investors money is on this pyramid scheme. It is hard to take action when nobody in power wants to show that the emperor is naked.
Isn't it funny how pet names evolve like that? My household has numerous that require multiple steps to get to their origin if you want to explain them to someone unfamiliar.

That is listed under "unofficial sideloading methods". A more accurate title would've been "Does iOS support sideloading yet?" but I wanted to keep the domain name as short as possible :)

The Apple Developer program is not intended as an option for end users to enable sideloading on their device, even if that is a side effect of joining it. It is only intended to allow developers to briefly test new builds of their own apps in a limited capacity before uploading them to the App Store (or third party stores in the EU). Apps "installed" this way expire after a certain length of time and you must ask Apple's cloud service for a new certificate each time that happens in order to keep using them. You're still tied to Apple indefinitely this way. If your developer account is terminated for whatever reason, or Apple decides to increase the price such that you can no longer afford your account, then suddenly you no longer have sideloading, and you no longer have access to any of the apps you previously sideloaded.

Therefore, I lump it into the same category as jailbreaking -- yes, you can argue that the existence of that means iOS already has sideloading, but it's not officially supported.

Sidenote: You don't need to spend $100/yr if you want to go the "unofficial sideloading" route; AltStore (Classic) is available for free: https://altstore.io/
> single fixed activation record per function

What about statically determining a fixed number of activation records at compile time? Similar in spirit to security focused languages that require loops to have a statically determined finite bound in order to successfully compile.

As to lifetime after returning, do you really hate continuations that much?
They really stopped making cars in about 2013, what you see now is consumer electronics. My recommendation if you want to have a "classic style" reliable car, get a Mercedes metris low-roof van and put seats in it (or get the passenger version). Still has a shifter (on the wheel stalk) and normal wheel, and in some cases, a removable radio (remember those?).

Salt was used to pay salaries at one time too, and ML/"AI" business models projecting information asymmetry are now paradoxical as a business goal.

Note: Data centers often naturally colocate with cold-climates, low-cost energy generation facilities, and fiber optic distance to major backbones/hubs.

At a certain scale, Energy cost is more important than location and hardware. The US just broke its own horses leg with tariffs before the race. Not bullish on the US domestic tech firms these days, and sympathize with the good folks at AMCHAM that will ultimately be left to clean up the mess eventually.

If businesses have opportunity to cut their operational variable costs >25%, than one can be fairly certain these facilities won't be located on US soil.

So, I think that's referring to a different message though. Most of what I referred to was from the official Mastodon account: https://archive.ph/LlbSj

Either way, it wouldn't have been much better if he'd personally posted the things the official account posted, or if the official account had posted that political rant with a "A response from our CEO:" at the top. Endorsing specific governmental actions would be something I could be fine with them doing, but calling out specific parties and candidates just feels like poor judgement.

I am used to the word "bias" meaning a specific kind of inaccuracy.
I’ve seen this happen many times during the RFI/RFP process for large projects, the largest players put boots on the ground early and try to get into the ears of the decision makers and their consultants and “helpfully” educate them. On multiple occasions I’ve seen requests actually using a specific vendor’s product name as a generic term without realizing it, when their competitors’ products worked in a completely different way and didn’t have a corresponding component in their offering.
I stopped trying to mess with them and string them along after I heard about this.

Show HN: AliasVault – Open-source password manager with built-in email aliases
AliasVault (https://aliasvault.net) is an open-source, self-hostable, end-to-end encrypted password and (email) alias manager that protects your privacy by creating alternative identities, passwords and email addresses for every website you use. Keeping your personal information private.

My name is Lanedirt and I’m a software developer with over 15 years of experience and a privacy enthusiast. Since 2013, I've been running a public temporary email service (https://spamok.com), but I wanted to build something more privacy-centric and fully self-hostable. That's why I've spent the last year developing AliasVault from scratch. The idea behind AliasVault is simple: create unique, random identities for every website, protecting your privacy and reducing online tracking and profiling.

Key Features:

- Unique identities & passwords: Generate individual aliases and strong passwords for every site.

- Built-in email server: Create email aliases with your own domains, receive and read emails directly in AliasVault—no external dependencies.

- Zero-knowledge encryption: All data encrypted locally (using Argon2Id and AES-256-GCM); your master password never leaves your device.

- Flexible installation: Docker-based self-hosting, supports Linux VMs and ARM devices (like Raspberry Pi).

- Fully Open-source: Free to use, audit, modify, under the MIT license.

I've just released v0.14.0, which adds:

- Built-in support for Google Authenticator-compatible TOTP code generation.

- Official browser extensions now approved and live in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (macOS), and Brave app stores for easy access to your credentials, email aliases and allows for one-click alias creation.

Try the official supported cloud version: https://aliasvault.net

Github and quick self install guide: https://github.com/lanedirt/AliasVault

Full documentation including architecture: https://docs.aliasvault.net

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions, happy to answer any questions! Thanks for checking out AliasVault, I appreciate it a lot! :-)

I take "terrify" to mean "they know they will be supervised and their wkrk checked".
Saying that a mine leaves behind 99.99% of the material is a misleading take. Material that has been there since before the dawn of recorded history remains there. It is a non-statement chosen for emotional effect. I might as well say that the overall concentration of uranium in the area is dropping because they just dug it up and sold a bunch off.

He didn't articulate what his problem with the situation was; it is a remarkably vague comment for an area that is extremely well understood. What exactly are these harms? Especially when considering that living remotely from a city is harmful to health outcomes they probably aren't particularly interesting.

Gathering the materials for solar panels is harmful and you don't see anyone seriously sitting down to have a whinge about it. Industrial society has costs. News at 11.

Those come to mind, but also Internet Archive item links; this enables potentially dating any video or audio content in their archive (assuming it contains the necessary audio data from mains). I admit this is lazy, as it is easy to retrieve the content and then upload, but still worth mentioning in case it was value product feedback.
Is it? From my perspective it seems like the folks here mostly are part of the problem, even if there is diversity of opinions.
I think maybe a globally consistent ledger ( blockchain ) isn't exactly what we need though, and what we actually want might be something closer to pkarr.org on top of the BitTorrent / Mainline DHT.

Because I think what we need is discovery and persistence of many self-verifying records that are independent from eachother.

In other words, each user's own identity record log is it's _own_ "blockchain" already, and we have no need for large, expensive, coordinated consensus, because each user only needs a single signature from one of their authorized keys to make changes.

So if we can just reliably distribute your identity records, then I think we've mostly solved the problem. Having the plc.directory as a standard, primary way to get those records doesn't seem like a bad idea, but having an official fallback to something like the Mainline DHT might be able to make it 100% decentralized in the event of a compromised plc.direcotry.

It's still a fuzzy idea in my head but eventually I'll do some serious thinking about this and try to get some actual proposal or community feedback if it seems like there's promise.
He didn't say "easy", he said "far from impossible".

> But you can't actually do this in a nontrivial codebase that wasn't written to support it from the ground up.

In the case where this is considered critical for whatever reason, you absolutely could have a somewhat overzealous detector that failed the compilation if triggered. It doesn't need to support every last edge case. You would then address this just as you would any other compiler error - by remediating the failures one by one.

If management doesn't want to pay you to do that then perhaps the requirement of "absolutely no recursion ever" wasn't actually so critical.
Sans UI library which supports iOS/Android/windows/macOS/Linux
Probably never. The complexity is borne by Amazon. Even before any of the development begins if you want a RAID setup with some sort of decent availability you've already multiplied your server costs by the number of replicas you'd need. It's a Sisyphean task that also has little value for most people.

Much like twitter it's conceptually simple but it's a hard problem to solve at any scale beyond a toy.
> Memory bandwidth.

It is the thermal envelope that defines pretty much everything nowadays. Without active management of it chips would die a heat death very fast. Which also means chips are designed with a certain chip external heat management in mind. The more heat you can get out of a system and away from a chip, the more powerful you can design these things. And game consoles do have active cooling, i.e. they sit between desktop PCs and thin laptops, probably sharing the thermal handling capacity with larger gaming laptops, if anything.

Breaking up monopolies used to be one of America's greatest strengths—Standard Oil, AT&T, even Microsoft faced real antitrust action. That willingness to enforce competition fueled economic growth and innovation.

But under Trump, there’s little chance of that happening. Big Tech has only grown more entrenched, and instead of being challenged, it’s likely to gain even more influence. The era of real trust-busting is over for now, and these companies aren’t going anywhere. I hope for the best in future.

I'm interested how it would be with Musk. He has enormous influence over the markets but he is not an "company" but an individual. I wonder how this would be resolved. I guess just let him choose what he can keep? That's sounds fishy to me.
