Yep, that's unfortunately the case for a lot of public entities. Open Banking is similar: at first you may think it means your banking data is open, so you can access it, as a consumer, through an open API... But Open Banking only makes banking data open for licensed data processors under very strict conditions and with quite stringent limitations.
I wonder if a situation similar to Letsencrypt could be setup in the Open Banking space. A non-profit (or something) entity with easy integration for consumers requesting data on their behalf.
> Aside from that I am curious about the discontinuity at 22h.
My water heater turns on during off-peak hours (so, at 22h). I have no other equipment that responds to the off-peak signal, so the discontinuity is entirely attributable to the water heater.
> The color scale on the hour/day grid initially seemed backwards to me.
I think it was one of the default color scales in Plotly. Maybe I got used to it, it doesn't strike me as reversed, but I think I see how it would feel that way for you.
> The daily total takes up so much space
That is true, though it didn't disturb me enough to bother changing its size.
I actually tried it on a VM a few months back, it was broken in a multitude of fun ways. I think it would be interesting to try and make it work.
There is a very nice blog post about someone explaining how they modified their website's CSS to work with some old browser, maybe Netscape, maybe something else, it was well written and fun to follow, but I cannot for the life of me remember where it was from. Maybe someone will read this comment and know what blog post I'm talking about.
Agree with you. I get the intention (a lot of people do find it troubling that all their location data is sent to Google, and appreciate this change), but I don't really care about that for my data, I just want to have everything available so I can analyze it!
Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
If I had to guess, I'd say they meant they'd prefer a solution where all the location data is stored exclusively on-device, with means to export it to another machine so you can analyze it. I understand the rationale.
Not being a native speaker I thought the "Kindly enough" conveyed the sarcasm (since I think most people don't associate Google with being kind). I'll try to find a better wording (or maybe make the "Kindly enough" a link pointing the GDPR?)
I'm sorry, I had completely misunderstood what Show HN means. I thought it was the prefix for indicating the post was made by the poster (what the fine folks at Reddit would call "OC"). Somehow I had missed the https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html page.
That is confusing but you can do something similar-ish for a written self-post by writing a comment in the thread saying you're the author, etc. Tends to make the discussion somewhat better too since it seems to reduce tropey first post type comments.
60 MH/s with parallel Rust code (rayon) on a 5900X. Got stuck on 8 zeroes, changed my nonce prefix and got lucky with 9 zeroes after 10 seconds! Currently sitting at #73 and pondering whether to write a GPU solution.
I'd agree here. As a trans parent I have worried about what living an often non-socially acceptable lifestyle would do to them. But then I see the acceptance as my daughter proudly introduces me as her "mama" to her whole class. I'm a better parent alive living my truth than I am an "unalived" parent leaving a gap for those that loved me for me.
It's heartwarming to see this from your daughter. Never doubt that you're a better parent alive living your truth and that your daughter is grateful for you being there for her. Best of luck for continuing your transition.
At the same time, Cox is a commercial entity that makes money by providing services. Cyberattacks make them lose money, so it's only fair for them to financially award people that responsibly inform them of vulnerabilities instead of easily and anonymously selling those.
We're not talking about a grandma losing her wallet with 50 bucks in it and not giving money to the guy that found it and gave her back.
>it's only fair for them to financially award people that responsibly inform them of vulnerabilities instead of easily and anonymously selling those.
Yes, Cox has that choice. But, what you're describing is the definition of extortion. The fact that it's easy for people to get away with it does not make it ethical.
It's not the definition of extortion. If I walk past a business and notice the locks on their windows are rusted and I happen to be a lock guy and say hey, I noticed your locks are fucked, I'd be happy to consult for you and show you how and why they are broken, that's just doing business. Extortion is telling them, hey, your locks are fucked and I'm telling everyone unless you pay me. It requires a threat.
Do you not lock your doors because you feel you shouldn't have to worry about people stealing your stuff because it's morally wrong to steal or do you do it to mitigate risk? Suggesting someone should mitigate potential risk is all we are talking about.
At the end of the day your enemy has no ethics, and we share the public internet with enemies. If paying to find security flaws means it's more likely people will find your flaws rather than sell them to someone that will use them for nefarious means then it is the better bet.
Making an argument for what's practical and what's ethical are two different things. My comment was about the latter. Yours appears to be about the former.
Ransomware victims have sometimes found it practical to pay the ransom. They're still victims of extortion.
I actually used that to build a Windows release: https://github.com/zdimension/elecanalysis/releases/tag/v0.1
It uses the system WebView to display the page. The packaging itself is made using a regular solution like PyInstaller.
