Multiple editors are needed rarely at my workplace, and I haven't had one case which required multiple editors and multiple readers but no global read only access (in > 8 years).

If I had such a case, the ACL solution could easily be emulated by putting such a directory below another directory which is accessible only to readers and writers. (Yes, files would need mode 664 and the right group. Not saying it's not a kludge, but you can tell people to fix the modes, or write a script which does that. It's a minor pain given that this case seems to be really rare).

Contrast that to ACLs on Windows. What I do know is it has Apache-insane chains of "access" and "deny". I've messed up permissions more than once, as only user of a system. Allegedly confirming to view another user's files in the explorer silently causes destructive changes to all the files in there (that must be why it takes ages). The mechanism is more complicated, so harder to debug, and it's harder to understand where's the problem when things don't work as expected.

Anyways, when things get complicated as you described, doesn't that indicate that a proper VCS should be put in place? Multiple editors is crying for problems. It's easy enough to just put these files in a git repo and be done. The traditional hierarchical file system is convenient for simple (i.e. most) uses, but in the end it's just an object graph with a restriction to avoid loops to achieve some amount of "hierarchical". That object graph model isn't really made for treating subtrees of files uniformly. It doesn't have transactions. It's not good for anything much except helping to organizing a bunch of objects in a DAG.

How do inherited ACLs play with files that are linked from multiple directories?

I love reading tidbits like that from other teams' work.
Lots of interventions that work in animal models do not work in humans. Physiology is different as is adherence. Humans control their own diets, so a really difficult diet will simply result in no humans sticking with it.

Humans aren't even monkeys. So it's not surprising that "works in monkeys" is a mediocre proxy for "works in humans".
> Similarly, if we allow illegal immigrants to rent flats then that will also push rents higher. Should we attempt to prevent this as well? If not, why not?

There are lots of factors that impact housing supply and demand. Whether they should be regulated / stopped generally becomes a question once the public actively engages in discussing it (see foreign investment in the Pacific Northwest for an example).

Basically, if the public doesn't care, the politicians don't care. Since a pol's main incentive is to get re-elected, the issue has to become important to their constituents, otherwise it effectively doesn't matter.

That assumption is: plane with current on-time arrival percentage vs train with mythical 100% on-time arrival.

There are a whole host of additional problems that affect rail travel that you never have to think about with air-travel.

Currently, Amtrak OTA is 80% - so that means 1/5 of your trips will experience a delay of some sort.
Let me start by saying I don't begrudge your info hygiene habits at all, this isn't an attack against you. But I've seen a few suggestions lately on building tools to circumvent these awful policies.

What we need to be doing is vehemently protesting these policies and rejecting them completely. If we start building tools to deny information when someone Has physical access to your unlocked device then we normalize these policies and accept the enevitibility that our privacy is gone. This is a war we cannot win. Not everyone is going to operate with the hygienic standards you use.

That said I've never actively protested a thing in my life. I am basically guilty or complicit myself, and I hate it.
Personally, when i arrived in the usa 8 years ago i was surprised that people eat dinner at 5:00 pm. In India,where i am from this time was meant for some light snacks and coffee/tea. So you get some light food to fuel you till you have dinner much later.

It's more of a cultural thing and no single thing is good or bad.

I don't know why you were downvoted; while it's true that racial minorities are targeted more often than most, many don't empathize with that. They only care once their own rights are threatened.

By making it clear that these issues harm everyone, we can prevent these actions from happening to anyone. People are willing to take away the rights of others, but generally are not willing to sacrifice their own.

Mircea Popescu, He is the original guy who started promoting the idea that it was a mistake to raise the block size unless some incentive to run a full node was added to the system. I don't think he actually supports segwit either, he thinks soft forks are crap. He is the original voice in opposition to block size increases though and many people listen to him.

You first say "Self reported Food Diaries are seldom accurate" and "This study is the first of it's kind", but you then say "Supper timing is majorly correlated to weight gain". How do you know that? Isn't there a slight contradiction there? If it was correlated, you would then expect an experiment like this to find it.

I don't feel that ...

>There are rules for renting out appartments for good reasons. For example, it influences the worth of appartments around it, and it messes up housing costs in a broader area.

... is really an useful argument against free market as it fails to explain why either of those are inherently bad things.

Wifi spectrum usage is also managed to a large extent by spatial separation. There are still fairly strict power limits on 2.4GHz devices which ensure that they have a relatively short range, so while your neighbor might interfere with your wifi, neither of you are going to have any effect at all on someone even half a mile away.
The appeal of the party scenes in The Great Gatsby is, although it appears glamorous and perfect, Fitzgerald shows us that it's like any party we've attended.

Take this excerpt for instance:
"We were at a particularly tipsy table. Gatsby had been called to the phone and I'd enjoyed these same people only two weeks before. But what had amused me then turned septic on the air now."

Tell me you haven't had this feeling about someone. The party scenes are relatable to people in all levels of wealth.
If a new participant enters a market and that causes changes in pricing, it is not because the new participant has made the market less efficient.

If the new participant was offering a worse deal than the incumbents, nobody would trade with them. It is only because the new participant is offering a better deal than the incumbents that their actions change the market prices. And that's a good thing.

I think this is especially true today, given the reduced desktop/laptop sales in the home space, and MS's free upgrades from v7+ to win10. I think that offset was in favor of getting a smaller support base as well as the advertising channel for office365 (which annoys me, not the product, the win10 ads), same for edge browser.
They're insisting on a 50" above rail platform height for starters. Higher than anywhere else in the world and incompatible with all other rail in the US let alone CA. There is no comprehensive planning between the different agencies running commuter and regional rail and CAHSR to work towards common inter-operable standards. This should be state wide, if not across the whole west coast. (We really need state wide rail planning.)
The problem of the Amiga was basically that it was clock cycle linked. To really get things going with the platform you had to count cycles so neither the CPU not the chipset got hung up waiting for the other.

This made the platform frozen from the moment it shipped.

In contrast the PC was less rigid, and only really had the x86 ISA and the BIOS memory map in common (and even the latter is falling by the wayside in recent years).

There was also the whole clone aspect. The Amiga stood and fell with its parent company, Commodore. Once Compaq and the others cloned the BIOS chip, IBM could belly up and the PC platform would barely blink.

I don't want to assume on spaceboy's behalf, but I think all you need is to remember a master password to some sort of (online) password manager. From there you could use cloud services (eg. Dropbox) to access such documents.

Securing cloud hosted documents is obviously another discussion.
I'm a US citizen. Aside from "is this actually Ryan Lackey, the US citizen?", immigration has no power to keep me out of the country.

"Do you have reason to believe I'm someone other than the US Citizen in this passport? Please articulate your specific reasons for concern." is itself a pretty solid validation of "this guy is 1) a US citizen 2) knows the law 3) is likely to have >50 lawyers as friends and will pursue the matter happily. I'm really polite/friendly with ICE/CBP -- usually all I get is "welcome home", very infrequently they ask "where were you?" -- but in principle they can hassle people.

Customs has some additional power -- do they believe you're transporting contraband -- illegal items, untaxed items, or dangerous items (agricultural contact). But since I never travel with illegal items, and generally have everything very nicely organized and minimalist, the only real thing they could claim is "you have digital files we want to access", and that is 1) an emerging area of law and 2) exactly the battle I want to fight. In general the law is on the side of citizens not turning over data at borders, although it's nowhere near as settled as most other things.
thanks for this!

I think though I'll try Python/Mechanize first.

Also I'll try not being so neurotic about it and just wait like a human being for the email to be sent to me :)

"bad guys" who distribute illegal material

Honestly, I fail to see how or why this should be a problem, considering that no actual injuries are inflicted in the storage or possession of ones and zeroes.

Sure, that's an obtuse abstraction, but honestly, the buck stops there. At the end of the day, they have a circuit encoded in a given state. Magnetic media that can be arbitrarily degaussed.

It's not real.

Stop prosecuting it.

So, okay, you wanna argue. Let's get more specific.

Bad things people can "have" encoded on their digital storage media:

1. stolen economic identifiers, such as credit
card numbers, and other mechanisms of fraud

2. raster graphics and audio depicting nudity,
or evidence of events that have since transpired,
and prove culpability, via direct participation
rather than simply the hoarding of collectible
media files of whatever persuasion

3. preferences and settings that can correlate
identity in other crimes, subscriber information
such IMEI numbers and MAC addresses, and more

4. classified information restricted from being
leaked among state actors or the general public

5. intellectual property that translates directly
to business opportunities, insider trading,
corporate espionage and other white collar
crimes

6. copyrighted music and movies, oh noes!

Listen. If it can fit onto a credit card sized device, it's already too late. So nothing is being stopped by this sort of search.

The demand for relinquishing data, in any such situation is not unlike demanding all the things that people write on napkins and envelopes. Every scrap of paper in someone's pocket. Movie tickets, dry cleaning stubs, match books, and so on. Evidence of a crime? Possibly. Is everyone guilty until proven innocent? Gee, I don't know. Maybe we should just make everyone empty their pockets, and take pictures, just in case.

The fact of that matter is that these are essentially fishing expeditions for item #3.

It's not about "illegal data" at all, nothing is ever going to divert ones and zeroes as contraband. That simply doesn't happen, and doesn't work. It's about coming up with reasons to harass people, as vectors into prosecuting other crimes. Smoking out the paranoid, so that they crack under the pressure of getting sweated down in the hot seat.
> No one can be sure you decrypted everything.

What exactly do you think they're going to do if they don't believe you've decrypted everything?
320 kph is the maximum cruising speed. Average speed for a trip is typically much less than that because the trains can only hit 320 kph on certain stretches of track. Even 320 kph is about 30 kph short of what the California trains are planing to average. From what I understand the operating costs go up considerably between 320 kph and 350 kph due to the need for much more stringent track maintenance.

I'm not anti-AirBnB. I'm pro-community. A house is in a neighborhood. An apartment in a shared building. I think we need to make sure we have some rules in place to make sure AirBnB-style sharing is a benefit to everyone and not just a benefit to a few at the expense of everyone else.

Well they didn't start with the ovens. In the beginning it was the branding and isolationism (them and us), then the detainments and asset seizures, then the interments. And once you run out of space for interments...ovens.

The problem is, the reason it does win votes, and the reason a lot of people want "law and order" and "tough on crime", is because they reason it won't apply to them, but to "those people". What is "those people" defined by in their minds, at least to a first a approximation before they consciously reason about it? Race.

Now, they might think in terms of it being for thugs and terrorists, instead of black people and Muslims, but they 'know' they themselves can't possibly be mistaken for either because they 'don't look like a thug/terrorist'. While the searches are indeed applied along racial lines, it will be hard to convince them otherwise, because they are mostly right.

So, sure, this is about liberty, about forestalling totalitarianism, about our human right to privacy and our political right to protection from unreasonable search, but it is also about race and about xenophobia. I am not sure failing to acknowledge that does us any favors strategically. At risk of going full Godwin's Law, there were a lot of things wrong with Nazism besides anti-semitism, but analyzing why people allowed the rise of Nazism without talking about anti-semitism is foolish.

There was a paper published recently (within last year or two) that looked at the time between first meal and last meal of the day in mice. In general, they found that the shorter time between first and last meal had a significant correlation on weight loss. For example if the time between breakfast and dinner was 10 hours instead of 14 hours, the 10 hour mice weighed less than the 14 hour mice, even on the same diet.

Just click on extension button at any website that you want to use. If it wasn't supported send request for that site, and I will be adding support for it.

Also I'm working on independent solution for supporting all websites. Right now there is a backend that crawls supported sites for title and descriptions.

edit: also sorry for not mentioning that supported sites, I was too excited while sharing this at HN.
The keywords there are 'typical hardware', but it can get worse. How about 'badly selected' hardware on a short time frame, in situ, waiting for an install and application port process to be performed by non-technical users following a recipe. Proprietary drivers for network and soft raid with a large enterprise linux vendor support and site license basically voided. There are worse things than starting an install,loading storage drivers, creating the lvm partitioning, hup'ing disk druid, installing, rebooting and adding the network driver to initrd, and having to explain and document that manual procedure to the same people who ordered the hardware...but I've forgotten them.

It's not always prototypes necessarily but mostly it's about reaching out to people you already know and letting them know you are helping people on the side with software work.

I was very lucky in that I happened to be good friends with a super-connector type person who always has people asking him for help. If you know other people who are doing consulting work, you can talk to them, if they are good they won't be particularly protective because good people always have more work than they can do.

In general, it can take time to build this up but in my experience it's valuable to see how you can help / give to others around you, and it will come back to you at some point. You have to learn to avoid the time wasting clients and people who look for you to do spec work, but after you've learned to spot them it's not so hard.
