Congrats! Keep on making HN what it is!
Most of what you said is correct but, in this case, the post cannot be vouched anymore. Only [dead] posts can be vouched and this was (presumably) vouched enough when it became [flagged][dead] to have those tags removed until it was flagged more to be [flagged] again. Because it's not also [dead], it cannot be vouched anymore. I've seen that pattern progress a couple of times and it lines up with the posts I am actually able to vouch. Rarely, there are comments that are [flagged] but not [dead], which similarly cannot be vouched.
It's also good for Canada because the local industry will be forced to compete with China with the consumer benefiting.
Sometimes you're right, sometimes they are. Sometimes, as the Rick & Morty quote goes, "Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer."
Current models don't predict the climate overall getting drier with climate change- in fact average rainfall goes up slightly.

Some areas will get drier, others (like the Sahara and Sahale for example) have and will get wetter.
I set firefox to clear cookies, also using cookies to "strict"

This somehow causes a huge pain to connect to mozilla's matrix instance, and I never understood why. This is a bit ironic since firefox has that feature to clear cookies.

I had to reset password, and do other weird things, I can't remember what exactly.

I hope this MAS thing fixes it.

Show HN: Bring enterprise-grade governance (AuthN/Z, Audit) to MCP (Open Source)
Hi HN,

While the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is useful for various applications, deploying MCP servers in enterprise environments brings specific challenges around governance: authenticating users, enforcing permissions (RBAC), managing secrets for handlers, and generating audit trails for compliance. Building this infrastructure consistently across services is time-consuming.

To address this, I built @ithena-one/mcp-governance. It's an open-source TypeScript SDK designed for production/enterprise MCP deployments.

It wraps the standard MCP server and adds a governance pipeline. You can plug in modules for Identity Resolution, RBAC, Credential Injection, and Audit Logging using defined interfaces, allowing integration with existing enterprise systems (like IdPs, secret managers, SIEMs). Basic defaults are also included for faster setup (for dev use only).

This is aimed at teams needing robust governance for their MCP applications. Looking forward to feedback and questions.
You may want to delete your comment as it is spreading misinformation about this study.
No connection to this project, but I also have a couple sitting around for "some day" The biggest issue is that most of the adapter boards that are often available are not that great, so having a board built from EDPiy is an option.

For the kindles that have wifi, custom firmware is probably easier?
Well the camera is USB-C so you're going to need an adapter.
I've heard this is a recommended paradigm for mixing, to only ever pan things R, C, L and nothing in between, but it doesn't make sense to me. Possible because i have to mix on headphones, but it sounds much too extreme to me. Sure, _some things_ can go all the way but i generally enjoy to fill the space between the far edges, and allow some reverb busses to blur the lines a bit if needed.

Is hard panning really strongly recommended like that, or just a hold over that the old heads learned and passed down
> At periods when technology resulted in new color possibilities, people went overboard with color. Make all the things colorful!! Think of the technicolor sixties. And we can go back in history and see the same thing with new clothing pigments, new paint pigments.

Based purely on intuition, I want to agree with you. However, the data in the article suggests there's been a fairly consistent decrease in color of media since the 1800s. You would expect an explosion of color in the 1960s and then a decrease, but one does not exist. At least, the "explosion" the data shows is a very minor increase that does not affect the overall pattern.
Curious how well transforms on circles could be composed to animate these animals
I wonder if seeing the world through digital screens had any effect on this.

Biologically, color drives behavior. Exposure to the same color palette over time develops tolerance, so *different* colors might be perceived as more attractive.

I believe each individual is unique in their color perception and emotional response, but there's obviously a shared social aspect of it too.

That said, it's interesting to see the young generation's artistic preferences, which reminds me of 90's for some reason :)
> It seems like this is a low point for Russia - a protracted hot war on what was previously its own turf.

That kind of “low point” is most of the history of the independent Russian Federation, given the first (1994-1996) and second (1999-2009) Chechen wars and the North Caucasus insurgency (2009-2017).

Welcome Tom! I have been visiting this site (almost) daily for 17.5 years now thanks to the wonderful technical community and diligent behind-the-scenes moderation.
He's right, you're just repeating your unsupported statement in response. You don't seem to have an argument to reply with.
Ask HN: How to Short the U.S. Government?
I have been paying attention to the news in the past few months, and I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the U.S. is not interested in remaining viable on the international marketplace, and may indeed default on its debt obligations to other countries. Given the fact that I have very little control over much more than my own assets, what can I do to turn this seemingly bad situation to my advantage?

The point of Bare isn't to do what Node.js already does. If that had been the case we'd just have continued using Node.js. The point of Bare is that on its own it can't really do anything. To do actually useful stuff, you have to resort to userland modules and those can evolve independently of Bare itself. Contrast that with the Node.js standard library which is tied to a particular version of Node.js and brings with it tons of legacy that's still there for the sake of backwards compatibility. Bare has none of that, not just because it's newer but because it ships with nothing but a handful of solid fundamentals that we don't expect will evolve much, if at all.
Maybe I'll show HN, it's one of those ideas I have that just feels "too dumb" to be useful outside of my universe.
Another thing that might also play a role is this styling trend of vehicles looking "meaner" and more and more aggressive. This was discussed[1] a bit on HN a while ago. Bright colors don't really match the "My vehicle is going to punch you in the face" styling (for cars and especially trucks) that has become popular.

Your junior doctor sucks. I visited a endocrinologist who did the same thing repeatedly during a routine visit. Uninspiring was an understatement.

The ability to iteratively observe and inquire to explore the state and the limits of the patient is NOT something automated docs will be able to do anytime soon. Diagnosis is a trivial task compared to learning who the patient is and how involved they actually will be in managing their own health.
To double down on that notion—the baroque rococo interiors that the author idolises at the end were the exclusive purview of the astonishingly wealthy, in no small part because of how expensive they were to implement. Accordingly they were equated with absolutism and corruption.

It's hard to decide how much of the author's position is born from ignorance versus how much of it is born from disingenuousness.
Solo sailors became a semiprominent microniche on youtube during the pandemic, you can watch this sort of thing in incredible detail that way if you want. Sam Holmes did this trip (and many others) and has IMO the best channel about this kind of sailing. He has nerves of steel and is not necessarily to be emulated in all practices but a great watch. FWIW I'm a long-time recreational sailor but I've only done a few long passages and none of them solo.
I really think this is where Kotlin is going to excel; multi-paradigm, multi-platform. Scala's community went too hard into FP and type-golfing to make it approachable.

I'm not sure why one would compare reviews by acknowledged experts in a field with stuff written by anonymous randos, and it seems highly unlikely that anyone with the appropriate qualifications would be lurking on some mechanical turk-like site.

I'm also deeply suspicious of the confidentiality of anything sent to one of those sites.

However this does suggest the idea that a high-powered university in a low-income country might be able to cut a deal to provide reviewing services...

No no. The president himself is a felon so everything cancels out, see?
A long time ago I adopted a personal style of wearing bright colors. I have simple good fitting t-shirts in all colors. Glasses in blue and red. Shoes in yellow. Sandals in green. Jackets in orange. You get the idea.

It's always easy to make an outfit that goes together and makes a good impression. Men's Japanese and European fashion brands work well with this choice. I see this on the streets in Paris or Amsterdam fairly commonly, but rarely in the US.

I've found that it's very disarming and engaging; even though I'm over 6'3" and a big guy with a tight hair cut, I'm almost never perceived as a threat. I'm a natural introvert, but it seems to make approachability easier. Since having a kid, and him growing into a toddler, I think it helps there too. It's just more fun. Strong recommend.

I've noticed that the amount of click-farm generated spam from third world countries pushing Tesla related propaganda has spiked tremendously since inauguration day.

Keep an eye open for AI generated images of Musk in front of fictional technology, with captions that read things like "Musk releases NEW $40 cell phone to the world!"

It's all fake fluff designed to offset the genuine negativity he's creating for himself. I just can't figure out if it's paid promotional shilling, or shilling by unfriendly nations just pig-piling on the divisive rhetoric.

Either way, when the political pendulum swings back to the left I intend to urge my elected officials to track down and physically destroy the bot / click farms using military force if needed. I don't mean investigations and police. I mean we fly a Tomahawk through the window. We're at the point now where foreign political interference is amounting to an aggravated act of war. Even if it's solicited by one party or another, stay out of it.

The law provided for a a 90-day extension on the deadline at the President's discretion. However, the extension required certain things to be true (significant progress made on the divestiture, legally binding contracts in place, and so on) -- so I'd agree that this wasn't faithful execution of the law.
hahahaha i love it!!

sound and video generation are very very primitive compared to image gen. definitely something we want to beef up though!
Ah that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification. It's always interesting learning how HN operates.
Of course an EO can undo it. The law gives the President the authority to grant a possible 90-day extension.

One thing that I appreciate about dang, and PG before him, is their intellectual honesty and strong sense of ethics.

On the face of it, HN should be terrible. It's a forum owned an investment firm as promotion for their business.

But because HN was started by an individual with real values, and has been operated day-to-day by individuals that followed in his tradition, its been capable of unreasonable greatness and real authenticity.

At this point, HN is sort of the tail that wags the YC dog. There are a great many seed funds but only one HN.

It would be a good thing for the world if HN was spun out as a non-profit and maintained long-term. But in any case, we can all hope that it will at least continue to be stewarded by good people for a while longer.

Good luck and thanks!

> Witness Windows, which has little to no problem with multiple libcs in a process

Only so long as you don't pass data structures from one to the other. The same caveats wrt malloc/free or fopen/fclose across libc boundaries still applies.

Well, not anymore, but only because libc is a system DLL on Windows now with a stable ABI, so for new apps they all share the same copy.
Depressing but inevitable. TikTok is too big for anyone other than a giant to buy it. But it does make me wonder about Bezos’s recent Trump-admin friendly moves, particularly with the Washington Post. An attempt to curry favor for this purchase? Entirely possible.
Junk science. Some people get enough creatine already in their diets. Some people respond to creatine, others do not. Creatine response is also a function of age. The cohorts should have had their creatine levels measured, broken up by age, and perhaps be done on non-beginners.

Compare this study vs this: https://www.cptips.com/creatine.htm, cites multiple studies and later concluded that most likely older vegetarians are likely to see a benefit, everyone else maybe will see a benefit or nothing at all. Given that, without knowing creatine levels of the participants, I find it no surprise the study found no significant results. I do not think this study actually even measured creatine impact.
You mean, other than it's a completely different type of fund, and therefore not comparable in any way?
Thanks Tom your work is appreciated and I'm sure will be appreciated going forward. There's a whole lot of us here who really value this place, and the many fine minds who share time with us in it, and you're a big part of that.

This makes sense! The coffee has expanded a lot from the decaf process so it's not going to expand as much during roasting, hence no "crack" (which is really the same kind of process as popcorn popping)! The reduced smoke may be due to the removal of the skins and residual dried fruit which would have been washed away along with the caffeine, whereas I would expect a natural process coffee to produce a lot more smoke (compared to the most common washed process coffee).
Fair enough. You likely know this, but my E2 levels are highly sensitive to my bodyfat as well, what with adipose tissue contributing to aromatization.

Could be that at some bodyfat percentages you don't need an AI at all, while at higher levels you do.
Never seen a bigger waste of time than when my colleague (who was given more authority for some reason) tried establishing Mermaid as our go-to diagramming tool for the company.

Had no real benefits, was way more cumbersome for almost everyone and honestly even me as a developer I'd rather have a few paragraphs instead of a diagram.

Somehow it's just never "readable"

AFAICT a lot of studies and economists predict macro-level benefits to the US economy for tariffs, but they also predict that the costs will outweigh the benefits.

Not sure why you're making this personal. I do of course realize the privilege in speaking English as a first language, being born in a developed nation, as a white cis-man, and so on.

To cling to the idea that English need continue to be the most important global economic language though, is a type of linguistic and economic supremacy I don't care to partake in.

These days everything is blamed on climate change. And when people point out natural variation, they get bashed.

A recent example is the CA fires, there is zero evidence linking them to climate change - they did a study and found no effect - which of course was reported as "climate change to blame".
"That's just, like, your opinion, man". There is another school of thought that postulates that an app should use whatever tools that exist in the ambient environment that the user has provided the app with, instead of pulling and using random 4th-party dependencies from who knows where. If I symlinked e.g. "find", or "python3", or "sh", or "sl" to my weird interceptor/preprocessor/trapper script, that most likely means that I do want the apps to use it, damn it, not their own homebrewed versions.

> a simple way to avoid the problem would be to install it as a dependency

I've seen once a Makefile that had "apt remove -y [libraries and tools that somehow confuse this Makefile] ; apt install -y [some other random crap]" as a pre-install step, I kid you not. Thankfully, I didn't run it with "sudo make" (as the README suggested) but holy shit, the presumptuousness of some people.

The better way would have been to have "Sapling CLI" explicitly declared as a dependency, and checked for, somehow. But as the whole history of dev experience shows, that's too much ask from the people, and the dev containers are, sadly, the sanest and most robust way to go.
