> Radios off (GPS/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) unless needed

GPS is a passive technology, no?

Downloading GPS assist data obviously isn't, and plenty of phones use wifi scanning as a way to augment GPS position fixes, but this seemed a strange callout. Am I missing something?

if the phone is confiscated it could be saving GPS automatically, i guess

Nothing so complicated. The HTML source of femboy.ca/ literally contains:

    <img src="https:////ipv4.games/claim?name=femboy.cat" hidden>

However, the question is why would this domain get 20 million distinct visitors (before being posted on Hacker News)?

Interesting. I looked up top 10 domains. I wonder if you could have it occur on wikipedia.org? Other random thoughts after looking at https://radar.cloudflare.com/domains... Maybe tiktok somehow? Or a bug in NTP? :D

Is it really that much better than this:

  #include <X11/Xlib.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  
  int GetKeyCode(Display* d, char* s)
  {
      return XKeysymToKeycode(d, XStringToKeysym(s));
  }
  
  int main()
  {
      Display* d = XOpenDisplay(0);
      Window r = DefaultRootWindow(d);
      XSelectInput(d, r, SubstructureRedirectMask);
  
      XGrabKey(d, GetKeyCode(d, "n"), Mod4Mask, r, 1, 1, 1);
      XGrabKey(d, GetKeyCode(d, "q"), Mod4Mask, r, 1, 1, 1);
      XGrabKey(d, GetKeyCode(d, "e"), Mod4Mask, r, 1, 1, 1);
  
      XEvent e;
      while (!XNextEvent(d, &e)) {
          switch (e.type) {
          case ConfigureRequest:
              XMoveResizeWindow(d, e.xconfigure.window, 0, 0, e.xconfigure.width, e.xconfigure.height);
              break;
          case MapRequest:
              XMapWindow(d, e.xmaprequest.window);
              break;
          case KeyPress:
              if (e.xkey.keycode == GetKeyCode(d, "n")) {
                  XCirculateSubwindowsUp(d, r);
                  XSetInputFocus(d, e.xkey.window, 2, 0);
              }
              if (e.xkey.keycode == GetKeyCode(d, "q"))
                  XKillClient(d, e.xkey.subwindow);
              if (e.xkey.keycode == GetKeyCode(d, "e"))
                  system("dmenu_run &");
          }
      }
  }

I think this is more readable than with macros, but it might be a preference.

>> Risks to jobs rarely feature among reported risks, despite being a prominent public concern.

If there is a risk to jobs, it wouldn't show up here since actually less jobs is "good" for business...

Fascinating story.. you know it happened but it's weird to read it and imagine it was absolutely real.

netrap commented on Ask HN: What cool skill or project interests you, but feels out of reach? · Posted by u/akktor

netrap · 3 months ago

Electronics. Especially the concept of ADC/DACs. Connecting Analog to Digital in to an FPGA, etc. I read a document about PLLs and I barely understand the block diagrams, the math I can't even begin to understand the symbols. I'll start learning from a book, but get to a certain point, then a few days go by, then many days -- by then I feel like I have to restart from the beginning.

vanschelven · 4 months ago

Grown way past 100 users with:

• Make a great product. Everyone tells you "build it and they will come" is not working anymore, but it's working _for me_.

• Outreach via your network. Talk to people with the intent of learning, not selling.

• I'm personally on a freemium model. But that's in the developer-to-developer market, which is vastly different from your B2C

I have just read this book and found it very interesting and helpful:

I've seen this book talked about a lot. However, I also have heard that there is some big holes in the research. Take a look online.
