I guess that's what the article meant here: "This particular Pi doesn't have a real-time clock. The very newest ones (5B) do, but you have to actually buy a battery and connect it. "


The GAP trail from Pittsburg to Cumberland is especially awesome. It’s well-maintained, the trail towns are welcoming, and the scenery is fantastic. The folks who live near the trail are lucky to have it.


Moka pot rubber gaskets are replaceable.


In at least some Mazda models, you can replace the firmware in the entertainment system to eliminate that message. I’ve done it.


On my old 2014 Mazda 3, you could SSH in over USB Ethernet as root, and just edit the timeout delay in the console JavaScript files. That was great.


I don't think I have ever read a more terrifying HN comment in my life.

What happens if you try to make an http call from the dialog?


I highly doubt a 2014 Mazda infotainment system has any access to the Internet.


wow, this is the first time I've wished that my 2013 3 had the infotainment system


Even better would be closed source firmware with an annual license fee.


I had COVID a few weeks ago. You will remember.


My wife's been battling long COVID for nine months now. She definitely remembers.


le scary anecdote! I remember that!


I would not have guessed any of those were mastodons.


Why would you? I never even knew there were mastodons in South America until today.


Bruce Schneier made a similar point in his book, “Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World“. Quote:

Society needs defectors. Groups benefit from the fact that some members do not follow the group norms. These are the outliers: the people who resist popular opinion for moral or other reasons. These are the people who invent new business models by copying and distributing music, movies, and books on the Internet. These are people like Copernicus and Galileo, who challenged official Church dogma on astronomy. These are the people who—to take a recent example—disrupt energy auctions to protest government responsibility for climate change. They're also people living on the edge of society: squatters, survivalists, artists, cults, communes, hermits, and those who live off the grid or off the land. In 2011, U.S. Marine Dakota Meyer received the Medal of Honor for saving three dozen of his comrades who were under enemy fire. The thing is, he disobeyed orders in order to do so.


What would be an example of a non-bullshit form?


Her is the example:

We at company XXX are building a solution that does a,b,c.

We want senior level programmer with a preference given to a candidates having these specific skills / domain knowledge.

The job is in the office, (no) need to travel. Requires (or not) clearance / degree / license / etc.

We pay this much (range is ok) and offering such and such benefits.

Please explain why you are a good candidate for this job.

Skip enthusiastic, passionate, hard working, woke, tolerant, etc. etc. bullshit because everyone is asking the same crappy questions here and gets the same crappy answers and it is all meaningless.


I see Morning Edition and All Things Considered on KQED's weekly schedule (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PrFgenUlR9TW8bZJ26LopRObTuB...). KQED pays NPR for that content.
