They're referring to deep frying, rather than pan frying.
They are one of the most biodiverse habitats, if not the most diverse, home to a vast array of often spectacular species. And unlike other highly biodiverse habitats, much of this spectacle is densely represented and constantly on show.

In a tropical rainforest, you can ramble uncomfortably through dense undergrowth for hours, hearing many animals but glimpsing few, usually from a limited range of phyla, and seeing mostly plants. On a healthy reef, drift but a few minutes through the clear, warm seawater, and the sheer abundance and variety of algae, corals, anenomes, molluscs, echinoderms, sponges and many other invertebrate phyla, as well as algae and of course fish, will be immediately apparent.
Why would they? The idea of CAA is to help the domain owner, to prevent malicious issued certificates, to have a documented, open, visible way do identify which CA is authorised to issue a certificate. So, if you doubt what you see is legitimate, you have a way to check (also, when combined with DNSSEC, it is quite hard to forge/spoof).

Even without DNSSEC, every little bit of additional validation counts IMHO. You could e.g. trace sudden changes in CAA records and get very suspicious...
I'm not experienced in this but from what I've read you could just take stuff like modafinil and sleep way less while being productive longer so it's not really a daydream scenario - there will probably be trade-offs but it's achievable.
And the whole thing is effectively structured as a 4th amendment sidestepping initiative. Which is why it will never go away.
13.5 expert opinions on balancing business and user objectives
What if we compare the number of people involved in producing the same amount of food two hundred years ago and today?
It is relevant, but we try to make it more specific.
I also think it's not a shill army. Many recent discussions have more opinions than technical facts, so the quality of the discussion decrease. It's a cycle, the quality of the discussion usually improve after a few month. (There is a nice graph in an old comment...)

To the OP: Anyway, if you see something shady you can send an email to the mods hn@ycombinator.com , so they can check the patterns of the discussion.
How Pair Programming helps deliver better code

> Let's say someone does modify the code, then the machine messes up and ends up killing someone. Who would be the culprit there?

People repair and modify their cars every day - and these are driven on public roads among other drivers and pedestrians. Farm equipment is operated on private property and among workers who are mostly aware of the risks. In the end, if the vehicle is unsafe, the driver is responsible.
Different jobs have different levels of net benefit to society.

For example, paying someone to "dig a ditch and fill it in" gives that person work, but is a zero-sum game - transferring wealth between people, but not increasing the total pie (total well-being), at least without considering the psychological benefits of work (and exercise!).

Similarly, breaking windows to create jobs for window repairmen creates jobs, but is negative-sum - it benefits window repairmen, but reduces the overall pie. You're better off just giving money directly to window repairmen.

In contrast, some jobs increase the total wealth, and can benefit both the worker and the people willing to pay for the work to be done. (positive sum).

Some positive sum jobs increase the total wealth more or less than others, for the amount of money invested (spend $, increase total wealth .01% or 1%?). Similarly, the net gain of the work may be distributed differently (does the purchaser receive more of the surplus or the provider?)

Focussing purely on jobs ignores the cost - is society better off if I employ 100 people to do the work that 1 person could do?

The best way we've found to increase total well-being is to allow people to pay for what they want, rather than having government mandate jobs to be done.
Linux (as in distributions, homegrown or not) has "ok" security. But unless vendors go through a lot of steps to both lock it and what runs on it down, and make sure issues are addressed in a timely manner, it's not.

The key will likely be something like Android, that's based on the Linux kernel, but locks the vendors into some notion of a safe environment, and applies updates in a timely manner (the Linux kernel still has frequent critical security fixes.)

(Having vendors be able to articulate what the devices should be able to connect to or do, and having the OS/runtime enforce that would be a huge step forward.)

But Android itself is also insecure primarily due to fragmentation and end-of-lifeing, hence the feeling of hopelessness.

Were these standard encumbrances that hardware and software makers put to try and lockdown their products, or was there something special about farming?

1 million times this. And perhaps: does using the software make the user happy? Rituals and processes keep people in a job and sustain the agile industry, which is why they are being pushed everywhere.
More anecdata:
I strongly prefer dark meat for taste, but I like that I can eat white meat without feeling like I need a shower afterward due to grease. Also I like having less fat (I get enough of that as it is).

So what it comes down to, is if we get a whole precooked chicken (roasted or fried, whatever), I'll go for the wings and thighs, but if we're just buying a big pack of something to cook at home, I usually just pick up a half-dozen breasts and call it good.
Also even if you aren't necessarily willing to be vegetarian all the time you can have say one or two nights a week where you prepare a vegetarian meal.

This introduces you to new ingredients and recipes without adding immediate restrictions to your diet and life.

Even if you never go full vegetarian, just cutting back on meat consumption still has an effect.
Why we won’t work on your project
Yeah it's a bit hit or miss because of that — I really wish I could literally make my bookmarks a private Google of content I've seen. Usually there are a series of things I try like "I think it was on X site" or a few keywords that I think were in the title. It works for me maybe 80% of the time.
Fair enough, from what I know Dropwizard is supposed to be pretty decent. I have a few friends working in Java shops who seem to like it. However, I haven't used it myself, so can't really comment how it compares to Spring overall.

I'm not sure it "protects" anything, per se - more of a formalisation that CAs should verify that the domain owner is the one making the request.

I doubt browsers will ever check CAA, since it's even easier to tamper with than OCSP (since the majority of DNS requests are still over plain text).

Get your bank blank atm cards which could debit money from any a.t.m machine. Make $20,000 and more in a couple days. Bank transfers and wire transfers as well as Paypal jobs, change of credit record hes that good, had to make him my personal hacker. You could mail him as well if you got issues, he's as discreet and professional too. He's kinda picky though so make mention of the reference. Dan referred you. Your welcome
A lot of times when people ask this what they really mean is "Don't you get meat cravings?"

You do, but as your gut bacteria changes you sort of stop craving meat so much and start craving the new foods you've been eating.

FWIW, plant-based complete protein groups are fairly inexpensive and easy to come by.

This isn't a response to anyone in particular here, just pitching my 2¢ among these comments;

Regardless of whether anything "feels pain" or not, I, personally, would choose to not destroy anything I don't have to, even if it's a uniquely-shaped rock.

I mean, look at [0]. It's probably universally safe to say that the absence of these formations would not adversely affect anyone or anything. Yet, a sapient being would agree that the world would somehow be less, in some intangible metric, without them, even if they weren't the result of a million years of forces..

In a way it is a bit unfair to IoT manufacturers. The problem is that to make something secure today, you need to be a network protocol specialist, a linux specialist, an expert cryptographer, etc. And guess who are IoT designers? Either a low level technician in a big western company or a guy hacking stuff together on the side of a factory floor in China.

To me it is unreasonable to ever expect that all of them will be linux specialists, expert cryptographers, network specialists, etc.

Fundamentally we are at the convergence of software and hardware, but the software is too complicated, give people too many ways to shoot themselves in the foot.

I'd argue we need better software, not IoT manufacturers sinking ressources in hundreds of unrelated expertises.

But what is the actual benefit to the consumer? What is the user story here? "I want my washing machine connected to the Internet so that _________"? I can't finish this sentence - I have literally no idea.

As another commenter suggested, I expect the incumbent giants will add the IoT functionality to most mid-range consumer products anyway, whether anyone wants them to or not, and then it will be proclaimed a great success, while the consumer will be left utterly in the dark about why their fridge has a wifi symbol on it or what it can be used for. Perhaps it'll be less like 3D printers and more like 3D TV, which has apparently now quietly died a death (I tried it once on my TV, because I work in tech and felt some sort of weird obligation to - I'm sure many people never even tried those stupid 3D glasses that came with their TV).
This seems flippant. If a car is fast we generally understand why. We don't need to worry that under some rarely-encountered combination of circumstances it will unexpectedly do a handbrake turn and open the fuel cap.
I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make here. Insects are a class of which there are hundreds of thousands of species. Humans are a single species. If insects the class died that would be catastrophic. If mammals the class died that would be catastrophic as well.
Femur...What... Can you give note detail on that? Emergency stop?
The issue with this question falls into 2 main categories. The first is that its a rude question. The basic premise seems to be, "if you are an experienced ops person you have to know something about ps". Which may be true, but by asking it of an experienced operator you are hinting that you don't believe their resume. There is a much more straight forward way to see if they are lying on their resume, call their references and prior employers. For really good operations folks, the answer to this question might be "I haven't needed ps in so long I've forgotten how it works. I've automated away the process running abstraction and have a library of python/bash/salt/chef/esoteric top commands/etc that I find more useful than remembering ps flags". This question implies their experience in that regard is also suspect.

The other problem with this question is that, by its phrasing, it implies that there is a right answer. If I can name more ps flags than an other person, I'm a better candidate. Which when put that way, I think points out its faults. Maybe you don't intend for that to be true, but you'd have to fight your own cognitive biases pretty hard to not at least bias towards the person that can name 17 flags off the top of their head, or the one that teaches you a new flag combo you didn't know. Even though those things are likely not that good of predictors of a good candidate.

You've said what you really want to get to, is can they admit when they don't know something. If that is important to your hiring process (and I'd encourage you to validate that with data), ask them a question no one could know the answer to. Ask the same question to every candidate, and grade it purely pass fail. Did they say "I don't know" or not.

OSINT Investigation: Who Is That Brazilian Bank?
I guess what I am getting at is: do companies not want to pay for security of these devices because they only sell for a few months before the next model comes out? If that is the case forming a security company doesn't seem like a very profitable venture.

Has someone made the equivalent of ruby on rails for these devices? It doesn't work for everything, but for most it works well enough and gets it the job done in a fraction of the time that a complete custom job would require?
I don't understand how inflation hasn't gone up by about 20% in the UK - most things seem to have had a huge increase in price with the combination of VAT at 20% (2011) and the devaluation of the pound I'd say we are already a much poorer country than we were 6-7 years ago.

The US is running something like $100-200 billion through Mexico for drugs while simultaneously pumping tons of money into anti-drug policies (though, an order of magnitude or two less).

We're perfectly capable of destabilizing our own neighbors through unrealistic Puritanical policies, tyvm.

Mexico is a proxy war between US factions, as is the whole of drug trade in the Americas. It always has been.

For reference, Mexico only has a GDP of about $1 trillion, so hundreds of billions in drugs trafficking is a major economic influence on the country. The US invaded Iraq for about $100 billion per year.

Is it any surprise that giving cartels a level of funding required to wage a war, that accounts for a substantial portion of the host nation's GDP is going to mess the place up?

From all the articles that I have read, the repairs of the United Airlines planes are heavily regulated. The mechanics can't replace a part with another unless the new part is certified, and certification is very expensive. The mechanics also have to be certified and fill a lot of paperwork.

The changes checks are not enforced by software, but by strict FAA rules.
I wouldn't take LSD microdoses periodically. There is no evidence of either the safety nor the benefits of said usage.

We wouldn't be in such a lacking situation if research wasn't halted due to draconian drug laws. Nowadays it seems that research is being done by organizations like MAPS. My advice is to wait until there is evidence of the utility of said usages.

I know people will try whatever they can in order to improve or solve some problem in their lifes. From tDCS to a variety of nootropics, research chemicals, prescription, and illegal drugs. I'd rather not be a lab rat, but that's easy to say when there are no pressing issues.

There are a lot of evidence-based ways to improve our lifes: Exercise, healthy diet, good sleep routine, CBT, mindfulness.. I'd rather do those.

>A huge number of IoT devices don't need the 'I'. They are perfectly capable of serving their purpose without an Internet connection (e.g. over Bluetooth,) but a huge attack surface is added to make you able to configure the device via a central website, or simply to monetize usage data.

I always feel the need to disagree with this.

The biggest "value add" in most of my "connected" stuff is the fact that I can access and manage it from outside the home.

Z-Wave light switches are nice, but being able to turn them off when I forgot to after i've left is a huge bonus (and taking it a step further and tracking my and my families phones and turning them all off when nobody is home automatically).

A thermostat I can control when I'm on the couch is a convenience, but a thermostat that notices when I'm at work or the store or a friends house and turns off during that time saves tons of money and energy.

A garage door that I can control from anywhere in my house is normal, but a garage door that I can have ensure it's closed when i'm not home, and that I can open for a friend that showed up to my house 20 minutes before I did is awesome.

I really do think that the "I" in IoT is absolutely necessary (in many cases, not all), but I agree with the rest of your points.

(before people start commenting on the tracking stuff, it's all implemented on a home-server where the phones literally "phone home" to that server, nothing is processed outside the house)
Yes, for exactly the same reason that if I overclock my intel CPU then if it starts a fire intel won't be blamed because they expressly put that if I overclock or modify the CPU settings from the factory default they wont be liable into the terms of service and unlike many software SLAs it is accepted by courts around the world
The Obama Doctrine, R.I.P
The preference for white meat is almost pathological. Constantly I hear (I cook and teach people to cook) people complain that they can't get chicken right, that it's dry or rubbery. And then they REFUSE to cook or try thighs instead, which are forgiving and tasty.
I agree. Updated.
>Sometimes that means many people coming up with many solutions. In other areas of open source development this doesn't seem to be perceived as a problem. In fact, it's celebrated as a marker of freedom for giving the user a lot of choices.

That's because in other areas more choice is always a good thing as it doesn't equal fragmentation. Yet another choice for parsing JSON? Yet another email program? Great, why not? But operating systems are platforms, not just libraries or tools that you can combine ad libitum.

For an OS to be an attractive target for developers it needs users. If you split the user base into several smaller user bases, the OS becomes that much less attractive for developers and as result it becomes less attractive for users as well.

A big player like Canonical should understand that and consider consensus building as much part of its role as creating new software.
The past two weeks I was trying to buy a Nintendo Switch. I ended up getting it from Target for a similar reason; I was able to go on their online shop and see which Target was carrying it. Wal-Mart only had scalpers trying to get people to buy it for x1.5 the price. When I went into a Wal-Mart (As their website said they had two in store), they were out even though their website AND their own stocking inventory said it was in store. When I went to a GameStop, they tried to upsell me to pay for a bundle (which had almost nothing I wanted) for x1.5 the price. Many of the online stores also made it a huge hassle to try to look in a local store without making a sign-in (Best Buy was the worst offender). The only reason I did not buy from Amazon is because of scalpers as well.

I also like to buy Music CDs. There's a few record stores around, but I have frequently seen a $6-7 CD being sold for $12-15 at the record stores (This is even assuming I can find the CD I want). I would not mind if I paid an extra dollar or two to support the local store, but asking to pay close to twice the price is not worth it to me.
So wait, if the server pushes assets before the client request it, does that mean the server pushes them regardless of the cache status on the client?

The Syria Catastrophe
I think the morality of this issue is extremely interesting. A single insecure IoT device isn't a problem at all, but in huge quantities they become a form of Internet weaponry.

Imagine if white hats were given legal immunity to hack devices that are easy to hack (for some definition of "easy") and, for example, replace the firmware with something that flashes some red text reading "contact manufacturer for replacement", and simultaneously closing the security hole in of which they came in the first place.

This would be a sort of middle ground, giving consumers a minor annoyance rather than a bricked device, but still leveling the playing field between white hats and black hats.

Perhaps adding a $1 bounty per device for the white hats, paid by the device manufacturer. Then the manufacturer would be forced to purchase insurance, who would want to look at the security of the software before giving a offer on the policy.
While I think you have a valid point about Tesla's availability, this is a "Tu Coque".
