It seems to be UI/UX for creating//editing//managing databases and interacting with them for non-programmers.

Paraphrasing the video: Like sheets, but with structured data (columns define data types with relationships) and complex actions/triggers via bots.

Per your original comment, given Google's track record with customer performance//services being dead on arrival, I can imagine few here are interested in learning//migrating their workflow just to be locked out or migrating away not long after.

I'd link to the myriad of hn//twitter//medium posts used to get customer support through bad press, but I'm on mobile, I'll leave that as an exercise to the user.

Simulation and validation is a touch improved, when I did this in college we used Ansys supplemented with data from NASA's CEA (Chemical Equilibrium and Applications) utility for validation. Once you get the work flow figured out it's not terrible.

Simulating cooling channels//ablation for larger scale rockets is a major PTA though.

That's the point, having a trained - equipped army at the ready costs money. One could save money by dissolving the army when it's not needed, but clearly you can't respond the same when it's suddenly needed.

The point was that the cost of saving money is effectiveness.

Clearly, this isn't always the case, there is a difference between bloat/overpricing/unnecessary spending vs cut backs that hinder operation ability.

I'm on Firefox Preview for Android and am having no problems with the article. No ads, popups etc. Just pure content.

Tight coupling to binary blobs and proprietary HALs + vendor specific OS changes etc make maintenance a chore - everyone in the chain has to be on board for it to happen.

They are incentized not to, new phones means profit for carriers and new hardware means profit for chip makers.

Maintaining old products costs money, not maintaining products saves money, planned obsolescence prints money

A frontend to headless chrome.

That's usually easy to opt out of and if bootstrapping fails (e.g. Outbound dns query for DoH provider fails//direct connection by IP is blocked) it falls back to the network/OS defined resolvers.

Even still filtering based on SNI will work for a long time yet. Yes, ESNI is on track to becoming to a standard but support for legacy devices/browsers means it to will rely on network tests for support - so it can also be disabled.

> States have been lying to us since time immemorial, and they don't need fancy video evidence to do it.

True, but now they'll be able to drive any narrative with as much A/V 'evidence' as they want. Lies by omission or one sided reporting are dangerous in their own right, but challenging that is different from challenging fake evidence.

It's hard to say "It wasn't me" if you're on tape/film. You'd have to have experts argue over validity but the public doesn't have the attention span or trust to follow that. Deepfakes have the potential to be extremely damning/damaging to public image/reputation in a way that biased reporting never did.

Second this; doesn't render well for me on Firefox Preview for Android.

I think you misunderstand the cited article on water vapor.

The water cycle is self regulating, unlike other green house gases.

>> "However, water vapor does not control the Earth’s temperature, but is instead controlled by the temperature. This is because the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere limits the maximum amount of water vapor the atmosphere can contain."

The other non condensing gases, largely from man made sources, contribute to global warming and elevate the amount of water that can be vaporized per unit volume of air.

Cutting down on emissions by replacing oil based vehicles with electric/hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles absolutely helps the environment. Cutting emission sources makes job of scrubbing the atmosphere of the green houses gases already present more achievable.

I think the GP comment had a point, before you get to a gate you are scanned/x-rayed, searched and pass by chemical sensors. This is not to mention other technologies that are baked into the surveillance system.

I think fretting over a bag past that point is a little much. Frankly, the crowded snaking lines leading up to the TSA are where one should be concerned.

> I don't understand how cloudflare can stay in business[...]

VC backing and recent IPO have them swimming in cash, but they currently aren't profitable.

They have an extension that addresses this: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/11500199265...

There's a difference between always on location data/telemetry baked into android and using google msps.

You can say the same about various miracle drugs before they under go trials.

Iron might be the future for some energy storage applications (e.g. home batteries) but can't compete for other applications (e.g. Automotive).

I learned some of the intricacies of yaml the other day when refactoring a docker-compose project. At first glance, it's brilliant... Until I started running into limitations, edge cases, and issues.

I like the _idea_ of yaml, but: - it's overly complicated in the wrong ways - common/simple use cases aren't supported and require post processing (i.e. Merging block maps/arrays, string interpolation, etc)

Betteridge's law says no [0]

Like battery tech, there's some progress and exciting results here, but no where near crossing that last mile to market.

Still working through it, but I found the time ironic since the author is "oneminutejs"

I was hoping this would combine the best features of existing package managers, but instead this seems to have been made in a vacuum.

While making a good package manager/community around it is hard, there's plenty of hard earned knowledge that's been completely ignored here.

This seems to make dependency management harder (imports spilled all over the code base, versioning seems non-existent, documentation for this/plugins? Twitter is not documentation).

How does plugin authoring work? How does distribution and trust work?

What problem is this supposed to solve that isn't addressed by other package managers (or what does this do better than said package managers)

There are other people that aren't Americans on the net.

That aside, what are you doing to oppose this? People may not be commenting because they dont know how to go about stopping it or simply don't think it can be stopped; leading by example is more powerful than an appeal to pathos.

Mozilla does this already, to a degree. Using the Dark Reader extension hangs some sites for several seconds and Mozilla asks me if I'd like to kill it

They even cited a source

>>[[ 9 July, around 0100 UTC: @doolse identifies thatload-from-cwd-or-npm@3.0.2 is the cause. See purescript/npm-installer#12 (comment) @doolse opens an issue on the load-from-cwd-or-npm repo pointing out that the package is breaking the purescript npm installer (although at this stage, none of us spot that the code is malicious). This issue is later deleted by @shinnn. ]]

Hmm indeed. A hack is possible but the timeline of events is dubious.

Would you be willing to elaborate on the reason why you avoid kubernetes?

The amount of energy to vibrate 25-25000 tonnes for any extended duration of time would be staggering. Then you have to manage forces this subjects the ship to... maintence would be a fright

Right, that's what raising an issue with the software maintainers are for.

Aside from anecdotes, there's little value in further discussion beyond the PSA that is the original post; save for prevention/recovery of such events.

Same issue here, on mobile - firefoxpreview for Android - if that helps

"target every cookie that belongs to a specific IP address"

That shouldn't work if the GP uses a VPN, as theg'd have a perceivably different IP address.

More likely they are logged into youtube, and their account has been associated with their girlfriend's account (location data from gmail/android phones/maps/etc, probably not using the VPN 24/7, etc)

Android is worse still, there is still no good way to implement parental controls that cant be circumvented by a few minutes on google.

I think you caught HN at the wrong time; ansible seems to be the general go to and chocolately for windows.
