693471··on How to Measure CO2 with a Low-Cost Sensor and a Raspberry Pi
The research has been done by the weed growing community. I don't know any professional growers using sensors outside of the American Scientific as the cheap ones are inaccurate and failure prone.
693471··on The Saudis Are Lying About Their Oil Production?
Except we've significantly cracked down on bomb trains and some states are working on banning crude transport by rail altogether

693471··on Looking Back at the Snowden Revelations
It's not an app that can be awakened by a push notification.
693471··on Looking Back at the Snowden Revelations
No it's not, setting up proper push notifications (Google/Apple) with XMPP is a nightmare and the XEP is not well supported anyway
693471··on Ask HN: Which email software do you use on Linux?
Bought back by the original team, if I recall correctly
693471··on ZFS v0.8.2
Dedup was rushed and the original developers admit it. They ask you to please not use it unless you absolutely know what you're doing
693471··on Ask HN: Which email software do you use on Linux?
If you think GMail is pain free you'd be even more pleased with Fastmail. I simply cannot self host my mail/contacts/calendar because nothing that exists -- free or not -- can compete with the usability and available power user features of Fastmail.
693471··on How to Measure CO2 with a Low-Cost Sensor and a Raspberry Pi
You are not going to get an accurate CO2 sensor for $27. You're being misled into buying cheap Chinese crap.

An accurate CO2 sensor is much more expensive. I would not trust the readings of the sensor in this blog. It's going to be off by over 100ppm, especially if there's a lack of good airflow.

693471··on High-severity vulnerability in vBulletin is being actively exploited
vBulletin is probably hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Nobody has time to "read the code" before installing it.
693471··on Looking Back at the Snowden Revelations
Because the UI/UX is terrible, and XMPP is not mobile friendly at all
693471··on Looking Back at the Snowden Revelations
If you can read your WhatsApp messages on your phone and you don't control the WhatsApp binary... then Facebook can backdoor WhatsApp to read the decrypted message.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day
693471··on Mysterious Avid Issue Knocks Out Mac Pro Workstations Across Hollywood
Looks like some situations AVID requires SIP disabled for external video cards?

So dumb. Why do companies pull this crap instead of fixing their issues with the vendor instead of leaving their users vulnerable

693471··on Google Chrome Keystone is modifying /var symlink on non SIP Macs causing k-panic
There was a comment that AVID may need SIP disabled for some video cards, which left this open for Chrome to do
693471··on The Saudis Are Lying About Their Oil Production?
And this large amount of oil production the USA is sitting on is light sweet crude, needed for gasoline? Same grade as Abqaid? And we have the infrastructure required to transport it?

(Hint: we don't. It's estimated it would take us minimum of 2 years to complete the required infrastructure build out)

693471··on Mysterious Avid Issue Knocks Out Mac Pro Workstations Across Hollywood
Not possible with SIP. The OS files are read only. Not even root can change them.
693471··on Mysterious Avid Issue Knocks Out Mac Pro Workstations Across Hollywood
How is this possible with SIP in modern MacOS?

Did they turn SIP off?

693471··on NUMA Siloing in the FreeBSD Network Stack [pdf]
If you have kernel developers on your staff: yes

Reminder: Facebook tried to run the WhatsApp stack on Linux but they kept having kernel panics
693471··on NUMA Siloing in the FreeBSD Network Stack [pdf]
Social responsibility over profit is not legal in the USA. Fiduciary duty, EBay v Newmark
693471··on Sanders wants to replace credit reporting companies with public credit registry
Federalizing means all Americans are voting shareholders but the goal isn't to make a profit.

There are lots of situations where I think that is preferred, but people won't look at it this way because of socialism/communism scare.

693471··on Apple neutered ad blockers in Safari, and users didn't say a thing
Safari is aggressively attacking the tracking problem as a code browser feature, and the as blocking capabilities are sufficient for blocking all the ads you need blocked anyway. It just can't do all the other page optimization / CSS stuff to strip out elements completely, so you might have some empty divs or whatever; who cares
693471··on Daimler stops developing internal combustion engines to focus on electric cars
> bias

Yes this site posts some wild stuff. It gets a lot of circulation in the Tesla communities

693471··on When TCP sockets refuse to die
There is only one mention of "Linux" in the entire article and that's because of a link to some code that is being referenced. Without that link you'd never know what OS or TCP/IP stack they're talking about.
693471··on Our Skulls Are Out-Evolving Us
I guess not shaming breastfeeding for one, and getting doctors to offer new advice for infant/child nutrition
693471··on Colt is ending production of AR-15s
"Committed to the 2nd amendment"

No, you're committed to make money

693471··on Curryfinger – Find the Server Behind the CDN
Correct, but it won't stop someone from killing the backend/origin server if it is known.
693471··on Tesla earns its first-ever safety award from IIHS for Model 3
Nearby someone recently died in an accident at an intersection where the speeds don't exceed 30mph. It wasn't head on.

If we can stop these kinds of deaths, we've made incredible progress.

693471··on Amazon orders 100K electric delivery trucks from Rivian
It costs 6kW to refine a single gallon of gasoline. We can shift our energy away from the refineries as their demand tapers off.
693471··on The iPhone 11 and iPhones 11 Pro
I'm going from an XR to an 11 Pro because the 11 Pro is smaller, 5.8" vs 6.1"
