I suspect that they were wrong. Unless this is a state by state thing or something, a warranty replacement cannot shorten the length of the existing warranty. The replacement part warranty should only apply to any time after the expiration of the original warranty.
I'm a lapsed Nautilus subscriber and in my opinion the world doesn't need a "Paris Review for science" (what I liken Nautilus to) as much as it needs a "BuzzFeed for science" or even a "USA Today for science. That is, reach and impact should be much higher priorities than prestige and design awards.

This is true for efficiency reasons, but lighter cars also save lives. Here's a recent discussion:

The Effect of Fuel Economy Standards on Vehicle Weight Dispersion and Accident Fatalities

Antonio Bento, Kenneth Gillingham, Kevin Roth

http://papers.nber.org/tmp/22190-w23340.pdf
http://www.nber.org/papers/w23340

> we find that CAFE has been providing safety cobenefits because it encourages down-weighting. Using the Department of Transportation’s value
of a statistical life, at $9.4 million, the welfare benefits of reduced fatalities, found in our
simulations to range between 393 and 439 lives nationally, are more than $3.5 billion annually. ... our findings suggest that CAFE would pass a cost-benefit test based on benefits from reduced
fatalities alone. This is particularly notable because the current EPA analysis does
not include benefits or costs from fatalities, but relies heavily on myopic consumers realizing
large future fuel savings to pass a cost-benefit test, which recent economic evidence brings
into question (Busse, Knittel, and Zettelmeyer, 2013; Allcott and Wozny, 2014; Sallee, West,
and Fan, 2016). Our results suggest CAFE standards may have positive net benefits even
without any undervaluation of fuel economy.

As someone who uses PayPal on a multiple times per week basis and who has never had any issues, this type of story (as well as the general sentiments of many of the comments) makes me worry that my time will come soon enough.

Can anyone recommend a service like PayPal that would be good for online transactions between individuals, but that also allows for credit card use? Fees are to be expected, it's just that I have t been able to find another service that will allow CC. I'm really hopeful that Google wallet will begin to allow CC use sometime soon.
I did that with the cPanel Varnish plugin [1]. It's Varnish Cache integration for cPanel WHM (duh!). I signed up on several web hosting forums and would volunteer to help when someone posted looking for help with traffic or website performance.

But I'd have to login to each box, spend a good amount of time on the server, understand the business requirements, and then deploy Varnish. It was hugely time consuming but I loved doing this. It was less about bean-counting but rather more about helping. Also progress seemed slow at first because I would gain one user every 2 or 3 days. But word-of-mouth buzz from people I've helped was the thing that moved the chains for me.

The cPanel WHM platform has been moving quite fast over last few years. And so did several things under the hood. I also wanted to build new features that just couldn't be done on cPanel. I felt the project had potential to expand and reach a much larger subset. And that's when I built Cachoid [2].

Temporarily drop admin privileges. Self-control for admins. Mac/Linux
Here is a small prototype I wrote: https://github.com/miheerdew/delayed-admin, which is a self-control tool for administrators. I basically wrote it because I would find ways to bypass all the self-control tools that were there.

I use it to (1) Lock me out of my laptop at 10pm (2) Prevent me from changing my dns from OpenDNS-family filter. (3) Save the passwords for parental controls apps in a file readable by root only so that I can't access them at whim.

It is still a prototype, but I believe it is full proof. I don't know a lot about user/group mechanism in Mac/Unix, so I am trying to find someone who does. The aim would be to have an abmindicate like tool (http://www.pluckeye.net/abmindicate.html) for Mac/Linux users.
I would like to be able to view it on my iPhone too..
wow! this is awesome!

Just canceled my NYT membership and subscribed to the print edition of Nautilus. A few months ago I went to the NYT homepage and every top article had "Trump" somewhere in the title. I have a threshold for how much political blather I can stand, and Nautilus is like a breath of fresh air from that.
Well, I didn't figure it out as much as Marx, Engels, Kropotkin and Proudhon did.

Thanks for taking note the entire thing was being presented as irrational. I determined my phone was not leaking this data, so decided to say as much. I appreciate puddintane's work in collecting this information for us. Unfortunately, I decided to not assume to unknown amount of work for myself which would be required for determining a rational outcome for the rest of us. Their work here helped with that immensely.
If you can see through an overly wide and poorly placed B pillar, more power to you.

Because they won't get sub points here only comment points
If there’s one thing that needs to go away ASAP, it’s “security” questions. They are so time-consuming, they increase the amount of information shared with 3rd parties, and the quotes I used are intentional because the questions provide no security whatsoever. Quite the opposite: these questions simply force people to share more information than they should be required to share, and (for most people who don’t think to lie) it increases the chance that sensitive secrets will be revealed and used to impersonate people.

It’s even worse when these “security” questions are coupled with the “Monday-Friday, 9-5 ET” phone numbers. I once had a mobile login “lock out my account” on a Friday night and I was informed that I could not unlock it without calling one of those numbers and answering my “security” questions. So instead of having access as a customer, I had over two full days of nothing, followed by the obligation to find time to call these people, followed by the awkward process of wondering if I would even remember the damned questions or answers. Every last bit of that process is broken, wrong, unnecessary, adds no security, and disrespects customers.

And in case you think account-lockouts are any better, consider that it is TRIVIAL to use this as an attack. Someone you don’t like? Odds are you can find their E-mail log-in. “Guess” their password 3 times, and they can’t access their account at all for some extremely-inconvenient length of time. Ever-increasing delays between log-in attempts work just fine as an alternative to lockouts.
I agree to a certain extent. I believe backup cameras are this generation's equivalent of the automatic car. Where I grew up, you had pretty much no choice but to learn to drive using a manual/stick which in my (biased) opinion teaches you greater respect and understanding of a vehicle and a better appreciation of how to use the gears to your advantage in various conditions. I now have an automatic car and I've noticed it's so easy to just drop into a zen state on the highways which I didn't find so much with a manual car.

Perhaps it's a stretch, but I feel the same way about reverse cameras. We were taught to not rely solely on mirrors but to physically check over our shoulders before reversing, but so often these days (usually in SUV-dominated supermarket lots) I see people fire up their car, look down at the screen and start reversing without physically checking out the surrounding environment. The cameras are a great aid for sure, but I think over reliance on them is dangerous and I hope the basics will continue to be taught to learner drivers as cameras become more prevalent. Of course, soon none of us will be driving anyway so maybe it doesn't matter.
Venmo ... Oh that's PayPal too.

How you would make invalid state unrepresentable at compile time in vanilla JavaScript?
How you would have an HM type systems?
How you would not kill yourself in a simple app less than 100k LOC working alone?
If you have an answer to all this questions then maybe I missed A LOT in the recent JavaScript evolution, but I really doubt it.
And just to show how absurd is your way of thinking I can just say the following:
"Except at the end of the day, you're not actually using those languages to do anything besides generating machine code. So you're still using machine code, which means it remains just as essential as it ever was.
You could just as well write the machine code being "compiled to" after learning whatever idioms make it "safe" versus a normal language, and cut out the middleman. Machine code-as-another language is an antipattern.'
Being a wallflower isn't a great way to meet people agreed. but after a few decades I've come to realize that its a symptom rather than a cause - if you want to meet people you need to plan ahead - invite others to come with you, go to places you know people already - introduce yourself and chat to friends of friends not strangers.

If you go to a place where you're by yourself and aren't talking to people you aren't a wallflower, you just didn't prepare.

I was talking about the demand side / use more than the supply side / cost. But after a cursory examination of the statistics, Tokyo doesn't seem to have a measurably greater density by any common metric vs other cities.

So I suppose my above was wrong. I'd guess the more reliable enablers are only sufficient density, coupled with good geology and a cooperating regulatory / permitting structure.
Actually, funnily enough I just went through and built a semi-freestanding exe to load a jlink'd Java 9 JVM: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/cb6e81a36247563d423f36df19...

The only dependencies this particular ex has is on user32.dll and kernel32.dll so it can call LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress, but if I wasn't interacting with those I could remove those dependencies (though then the exe wouldn't be able to do a whole lot of interesting things).

If you look at the file in a hex editor, it's mostly just empty space as it just has four 1k sections with a little bit of data at the start of each.
I think it is bit more complicated than that. I checked some presentations [1] about UEFI/SB, and they do seem to imply that there is potentially some blobs (namely option roms, uefi applications and dxe drivers) that need to pass signature check. I don't know how much such modularity is really used in real life, especially in the boot path, but I think the "best practice" recommendation is to keep dxe core small and have stuff as loadable drivers.

Point. Although I'd assume the majority of subway routes tend to be built under roads (also bad, but less terrible)?

Not sure what the geology of San Francisco / California tends to be like, but I believe most of the Manhattan skyscrapers are anchored down to the bedrock. Which I'd expect would require cutting and reinforcing vs just "drill on through".
IIRC Armory provides a user interface for doing this. Still, that's probably too paranoid for most typical transactions.
I hope this isn't part of your tactic, because what you just said makes me think I'd chew my own leg off to get away from you if we met socially.

CoreOS works the same way. All containers. You can run `toolbox` to get into a systemd-namespace'd Fedora container (any other container can be specified; it's just Fedora by default), from which you're supposed to do all your troubleshooting/analysis (caveat: systemd-namespace does not seem to support `auditd` well).

I still strongly dislike "containers". It's not worth the complexity or instability. Two thumbs way down!

Social anxiety is not a thing that you either have or you don't. Everyone has social anxiety to varying degrees. To claim that people with social anxiety don't live as full or enjoyable lives as everyone else is just plain wrong. What is a "full and enjoyable life"? Is it having an average amount of social anxiety? But then you don't get to do all the cool shit that the people with very minimal social anxiety do. Is it having minimal social anxiety? But then you might end up doing things that you'll regret later i.e. having your silly picture/video go viral and then you might even end up developing social anxiety as a result of the entire world/country/city knowing your embarassing moment.
Just how far are you willing to go with this? If people having opinion X, are banned on social media and no private registrar will register their website, no private search engine will index their website, no private employer will hire them, no private bank will do business with them or lend them money, no conference will invite them even for unrelated talks, no open source project will accept their contribution, no private media company will run their advertisements, and no private college will allow them on campus or admit them, are you OK with this situation? After all, they can still write to the government and go to town halls and spout their opinion.

This scenario is not that far-fetched because:
1) There has been more consolidation into fewer large companies​, with less competition
2) Many companies share board members with similar opinions and sympathies and have leadership with similar sympathies.
3) Because of social media, it is easy to get a large group of people to put coordinated pressure on a company.
4) This scenario would just be an extreme example of the "no platform" movement which we already have, and which has already successfully pressured individual companies to dissociate with people or opinions.

It is respect for the principle of free speech in the general population that protects us from this scenario. If you are OK with this scenario for some opinions, be aware that throughout history, what is an unpopular opinion has changed, sometimes relatively rapidly.
This is not Docker-in-Docker. This is an OS that acts like a "container hypervisor". It provides the bare minimum for hardware interfacing and hosting containers, just as conventional hypervisor provide the bare minimum for hardware interfacing and hosting virtual machines. The benefit is that more system resources are available for your clients (containers, in this case).

I haven't used RancherOS but CoreOS works mostly-fine. However, I would avoid using these things altogether because containerization sucks.
Again, by my understanding, the pronoun "it" carries the baggage of non-person-ness. "It" is used for things, not people. I'm happy to be corrected on this by people with personal experience.

Elon Musk's vision for an underground road system
The article is literally false. strncpy is safer than strcpy. The argument of the author is it still has room for abuse.
hn and product hunt
There is only one thing that is "safe": use a string type that explicitly tracks length (and a string-buffer type that tracks both length and capacity) as a single object, where you're never left guessing the length given a pointer. C strings, which are NUL-terminated, are inherently unsafe. strlcpy() makes different tradeoffs from strncpy(), but isn't "safe" in an absolute sense, either.

As a bonus, your strings can now contain interior NUL bytes, as strings in just about any non-C language can, and so you get improved interoperability.

You can do this in C, with various third-party string libraries like http://bstring.sourceforge.net/ or with third-party frameworks that include string handling like GLib (https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Strings.html). You can also do this in easily-C-compatible languages like C++ or Objective-C, or less C-like compiled languages like Go or Rust or Ada, or other languages like Java / other JVM languages (which will often give you faster performance than C), Python, Ruby, C#, the works.

The only good reason to write code in C that uses C strings is compatibility with some existing code that requires it (either you're making minimal changes to an existing codebase, or you're writing a small amount of code that interoperates with an API that uses C strings). You can't have both safety for large-scale programs and C strings.
Investing in deep learning now costs considerable time and effort

Actually I'd argue that now deep learning requires the least investment of time and effort compared to potential payoff.

The Economist provides a pretty good mix. I subscribe to it, the NYT, and the New Yorker. I probably won't renew my NYT subscription as I find myself reading it much less often since I picked up The Economist subscription.

I don't know... does HN have enough readership where it could collect funds and redistribute? It's my primary source of reading random material.
