China has completed a number of these projects and has several in construction. I am not able to directly confirm but this appears to be a DC line.

There's a decent high level summary on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-voltage_electricity...


This is actually Google's fault, of course. Vendor lock-in. The experience on iOS is similarly frustrating.


  > The experience on iOS is similarly frustrating.

I agree with "frustrating," but it is solvable without 3rd-party software.

You can either use their "Device profile" or do it manually.


I don’t have any complains with contact management on iOS with Fastmail. Apple’s CardDAV and CalDAV implementations are way better than they used to be. What issues are you seeing?


How's that possible? It seems like Whatsapp integrates seamlessly with my contacts


This should have been obvious to anyone paying any attention whatsoever, long before any one of these computers launched as a product. But we can't make decisions on product or marketing based on reality or market fit. No, we have to make decisions on the investor buzzword faith market.

Hence the large percentage of Youtube ads I saw being "with a Dell AI PC, powered by Intel..." here are some lies.


I am not sure QGIS is a good comparison to this. The projection information dataset is nearly 800 MB on its own. But it's not really PROJ's fault that there are so many projections to manage.


If this odd apology for Microsoft's own messaging from The Verge wanted to make sense it would need to explain why office.com says "Microsoft 365 Copilot" in the title field and on the header of the page, and "Welcome to Microsoft 365 Copilot" front and center on the page, including "The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office)", and do a better job than "Microsoft is referring to a mobile app they renamed."

At that point it doesn't matter what someone says pedantically. MS is abusing the office.com domain, which should send me to MS Office information.

Also, at the very end, the Office name is still ruined, given that they want to sell you "Microsoft 365" rather than "Office 365".

This is easily as bad as me having to launch the "Windows App" on my iPad when I need a quick remote desktop session. Just call it remote desktop because that is what it is.


In your case it's literally the same "complexity" as user/pass with 2FA. You need something to manage the passkeys, just like you need something to manage your second factor. Everything else you list as a worry is already in play.

FIDO is a standards body which produces specifications used by these systems.


Plexamp is a good option if you already have a Plex setup and subscription. I also use it and like it quite a bit. But it's paid only, and doesn't seem quite like what the author is looking for in terms of UI and focus.

Another option is something like MPD, there are some nice graphical clients for macOS and it has good flac/cue support (a single file album shows up as individual tracks in the interface), but you have to set up the mpd server first, then choose a client, and it can be a pretty DIY experience. I use a setup like this on linux but have never set up mpd on a mac.


LE has been really great, particularly in running hobby web sites on the public internet. Getting certbot up and running wasn't hard, automating renewal wasn't hard, and because they have DNS-based pathways to verification you can use LE certificates for sites not exposed to the public internet as well. Combine it with something like Caddy and getting SSL for an app becomes the default without ever having to manage certificates by hand.

I find it pretty amazing how far its come, and how big a change it has made to the internet in the decade it's been operating.


This feels cynical and ugly, and I am pretty disgusted by the way things are going in this space. I don't see any reason to trust Boom based on their history, and I am sick and tired of the "solution" to bad ideas being more bad ideas. We need renewables and grid infrastructure, not yet more fossil fuels.

Additionally,

1) Aeroderivative gas turbines have been around for decades. "Oh but we have supersonic engines" does not change the fundamental equation

2) They're proposing burning more fossil fuels dug up from the ground to feed a beast that in my opinion is destroying the entire world economy, and certainly harming freedom

3) Where are they even getting the fuel? Magic? Someone has to build the pipelines, and someone has to supply the fuel.

Whoa - no matter how wrong someone is or you feel they are, or how strongly a topic makes you feel, you can't post like this to Hacker News. It's vastly against the site guidelines.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Edit: you've unfortunately been doing this repeatedly lately - for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46166929 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45836368 - and we've already warned you once (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44682844). If you keep posting like this, we're going to end up banning you. I don't want to ban you because your account also posts good things, so if you'd please fix this, we'd be grateful.



Yes, Boom is a YC startup, and the GP comment was unacceptable and the sort of thing we ban accounts for. Both are the case, and that doesn't change depending on who a comment is talking about.


Edited for civility. But the sentiment remains.


Earlier today you posted this terrible idea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46162441

This is another stupid idea, though slightly less incredibly offensive. It's clear you think you can somehow set "intelligence" as an "objective" trait you can define and then us on a dating site, and that people want to filter for "intelligence" rather than compatible partners.

You're way out of touch.
