While I am a big fan of DIY bio, my experience with Raspberry Pis is that they are highly prone to failure. Becoming dependent on a device- that is, expecting it to work with close to 100% reliability- and then using a device that is easy to disable and prone to failure (I run a fleet of Pis and they mangle their SD cards a lot)- seems like wishful thinking.

It may work 95% of the time, but that's not good enough. There's a reason really good medical devices are based on simpler platforms that are more robust.

one is that it is extremely clear what the code is doing, while the functional case needs some thought to understand;

In my experience this is just familiarity, and I've experienced it in both directions.
> a simple statement of fact

But it's not. It's an (incorrect) assumption.

I have, in fact, read the research you're talking about. I'm familiar with the ideas you're advocating.

There's some truth to it. And a lot of problems. And a lot of research that invalidates your conclusions.

But there's an agenda at work, driving people who don't fall in line with that agenda out of academia. And having some familiarity with the ways "science" can be manipulated to suit an agenda, I'm not blinded or silenced when you say "research".

In the physical sciences, if research doesn't agree with theory, the theory is updated.

In the social "sciences", if research doesn't agree with theory, the researcher is discredited and the research ignored.
I remember people "trolling" on usenet back in the 90s. It was way more tame back then however. Usenet and even BBSs were frequently full of pretty horrid material (gore, child porn and the like) as well as predators hiding behind a terminal.

"One of the advantages of the "slightly better", more imperative, method of finding a 3D piece under the mouse over the "beautiful", more functional, one is that it is extremely clear what the code is doing, while the functional case needs some thought to understand; even for someone who knows what map, filter, etc. do!"

This is not at all self evident. See map and immediately think "oh, this will invoke the function once for each item and collect the results". See filter and think "oh, this will invoke the function once for each item and collect the ones for which the function returned true".

What about that is not extremely clear?

Who's Doing the Talking on Twitter?
"Sometimes you also have to learn from experience how bad something is in order to actively work against using it again. For example mustard gas, etc.
One could argue the detonation of smallish weapons prevented the future detonation of much bigger weapons in the future knowing the horror an even smallish weapon caused."

"Indeed, there's nothing I would change about history up to that point, having read a lot of pre-actual bomb dropping science fiction, which detailed many much worse ways nuclear weapons could have be introduced to humanity.
Or take all the alternate histories of WWII where the Nazis hold out for much longer, especially their somehow not provoking a World War earlier than they were ready for. Give them enough time and their delivering plutonium nukes to our cities in stealthy flying wing bombers or V-2 descendants is not out of the question."

What I'm getting from these two comments is that it's good we dropped two bombs on civilians because it taught us that we shouldn't do that and that, also, there was some scary science fiction about worse ways for nuclear weapons to be introduced to humanity so our way wasn't that bad. Is that what you're intending, because I can't really read it any other way.

"Indeed, there's nothing I would change about history up to that point"
It's hard to argue hypotheticals, but really, you wouldn't change anything about history up to that point? Perhaps not strangling Germany quite as hard as we did after WWI? You wouldn't change that even if it'd completely erase the climate where the Nazis could rise to power?

Public and Private Cybersecurity After Wyndham
I'm kind of uncomfortable with this line of reasoning, and definitely uncomfortable with this statement:

> '"True freedom of speech" is an awful thing.'

That is, a good use of freedom of speech is to "speak truth to power". Yes, it's awful when freedom of speech is used to kick someone when they're down, but we need to preserve that freedom so that we can kick someone when they're (wrongly) up.
Backwards compatibility is such a headache.

Got to give it to Microsoft for their dedication to never breaking old code. I cannot imagine several of these scenarios happening more than in one or two programs given how niche they are.

On modern UNIX (Linux, BSD, et al) when you create a symlink do you need write access into the target directory, or do they suffer from this same sandbox escape?
He discovered evidence of unconstitutional (illegal) actions by those in government, with the potential to lead to an Orwellian society. He took on significant personal risk and made a huge sacrifice in order to inform the public of this government wrongdoing.

He fled because there is no chance of a fair trial. (You can Google the specifics, but he wouldn't have been able to present his case at trial -- not that he should be facing a trial in the first place, since he is a whistleblower, not a spy.)

He turned over the data to responsible journalists to make sure it was vetted properly and the public could be safely informed without jeopardizing national security.

He's a patriot and a hero. The fact that he is still living in Russia and being treated like a criminal by the U.S. government, instead of receiving a medal in the USA, is a strong indictment of our government and clear evidence of our ongoing loss of freedom.
It's one of those dark, dirty corners of physics theory that doesn't have a great conceptual explanation (like wave function collapse). The math works but we honestly don't have a great understanding of "what's really happening".

Are these protections active before the kernel has booted?

Does DMA default to be off until enabled?

If firewire (and thunderbolt, expresscard) aren't DMA-free by default, then there's a time window before/during boot in which an attack could happen.

Ask HN: How do you sell employee shares?
I have those shares from a (french) company I used to work for, and I don't know how to find a buyer, conduct the sale, etc. Most of the documents I have are confidential, due diligence needs the company's help and I have no clue how to pitch my shares. I have no good proof I own those shares (well, I have the signed minutes of the attribution assembly, but it's confidential). The company is not interested in buying them back.

Maybe I should sort my questions:

1) who might be interested in buying?
2) how can I pitch it to them, when most of the documents I have are confidential?
3) how do we conduct the sale?
I agree, this is a job more suited to a simple 8 or 16-bit micro without any OS.

> "Freedom of speech" doesn't mean the power to not be moderated by an Internet forum, it means that you can speak your mind and your government can't arrest or censor you for it.

No, it's the First Amendment which means that the government may not arrest your for what you say or censor your speech. 'Freedom of speech' means exactly what it says on the tin: that you may speak freely. In the United States, the government must respect your freedom of speech, and private entities have no such restriction.

> If someone invites you into their home and you start calling their family names and pissing all over the carpet, the homeowner is well within her rights to throw you out and shut the door on you.

Note that this is the same argument used by a monarch to justify restrictions on speech: it's his home, and you're welcome to leave.

I think that it's fine and proper that private entities are free to regulate speech on their properties, but I also think that it's often inadvisable and unfortunate that they do so.
That's tyrannical.

Freedom of speech must have limits. Those limits protect the vulnerable.
The question of meaning is a question for philosophers. Physicists deal with what they can model / explain.

> They are obviously "communicating" somehow. The mechanism is simply unknown.

The mechanism is the "virtual particles". Whether those particles have physical existence is a question physicists avoid.

The best answer is that the model (i.e. the explanation for reality) matches reality.

Does this mean that the model accurately and correctly describes the underlying mechanism for communication? The best answer to that is "Yes, so far as we can tell".

Engineer counts as low-status in Germany? That's certainly not something I would have expected.

But from what I understand, Germans are a lot more status-conscious than the surrounding countries, with more hierarchy, people often expecting to be addressed by their titles, bosses not wanting to be addressed by their first name, etc.

But I'm Dutch, and I know several men who work in construction, who are married to university-educated women. I don't know what degree my brother-in-law has, but he hasn't been to university, unlike my sister (though I wouldn't call him less educated; he educates himself). And since I never graduated, I'm technically also married to a woman with a higher degree (though her degree is lower than the one I would have had if I'd continued, so I consider myself higher educated than her until she gets that MBA).

So I'd say it's fairly common here.

You are confusing a model with reality. We have no way to observe the difference between a sufficiently large number and infinity.

For an overly pedantic counter example, each particle could simply simulate the rest of the universe to some finite precision.

PS: That's not to say you can't rule out specific theory's that use local variables. And we should use the simplest theory that works, however it's counter productive to suggest we can rule out all forms of local variables.

The age-old "don't write your password down!" mantra is not meaningful without clarification.

That is essentially, of course, how password managers work!

There's no reason not to write a password down as long as it's securely stored. You probably need embarrassingly little physical security to store your password more safely than many dodgy website solutions!

I _still_ frequently get my _already set_ password emailed to me in plaintext either on sign-up, or when I click "forgotten". (The site is always treated to an angry email encouraging a thorough redesign - though not of course, a 'reply', which would give them even easier access to my password!)
I've always doubted the 'we made them do it' argument. Sure they were under pressure to repay WWI. That made them poor. But not every country that is poor, is also xenophobic, militaristic and nationalist to the point they are willing to kill everyone else in the world to get their way. The political climate of the country caused WWI; it also caused WWII. And the prevailing culture there was largely the reason, not details of what made them mad and rise up.

Its a form of victim blaming, little different from saying "if you didn't wear such revealing clothing, then rapists wouldn't bother you".

Ask HN: Looking for cheap VPS at US westcoast
Hello community,

I'm a developer from Germany and I'm looking for a reliable hosting service at the US west coast at a fair price.
I don't need much CPU or RAM for my project, but at least 3 IPv4, 1GB RAM, >100GB traffic and a short route to Akamai.
The price I have in mind should be below $20 / month, rather 10-15USD.

I already found one hoster in Seattle offering a CentOS Linux container with 4 Xeon cores, 4GB RAM, 5 IPs at $12/month but the route to Akamai has 8hops and takes 60ms.

The price perfomance ratio is awesome, but the network is too far away from the next Akamai edge servers for my use case. Can anyone recommend other hosters?

Is Qwilr the Paper Doc Killer?
I'm with you, to a point. I'd much prefer if the DEA was stripped of its militarization and instead shifted to act as a quality/safety testing body for "illicit" drugs. Maybe enforcing certain purity standards and proper labeling of narcotics.

You know, something that would actually help the people using drugs-- "this batch of heroin in city X is actually 50% rat poison so don't use it" or "this stuff the dealers in city y call molly is actually MDPV and 25I-nBOME, be aware".

That'd help cut down a lot of the deaths and injuries from drug use. Imagine if you had a government agency looking out for you rather than trying to fuck you up for once.

I used to live in Asia, and travel back to the US quarterly. Of course, now I live in the US and travel back to Asia quarterly. ;-)

What I've found that works for me is to "throw off" my sleep schedule the night before a trip; I sleep for 3-4 hours (usually catching an 8AM flight), then while on the trans-pacific leg, I sleep / eat / read / game every couple of hours.

Whenever I "switch" to a new part of the rotation, I get up for a walk around the cabin. I end up getting a few hours of sleep in power naps, watching a couple of movies or reading a decent chunk of a book, or taking care of some work.

When I land, I go find a source of caffeine, and then fall back into the "regular" meal schedule for wherever. Dinner at 7 or 8-ish, and I make sure to eat an actual breakfast. Finally, I take melatonin for one or two nights, and then try to sleep naturally.

I highly doubt those stats are accurate.

This adds up to 103% so I guess Linux is included under Unix? That means 31.2% of servers are running a non Linux Unix? Seems a bit high...
Further still, I'd describe it as an advert more than an article. Seems to lack substance and has a clickbait title, and the only purpose of the article is to sell you SentinelOne.
