You acclimatize. I'm from chilly Sweden and used to start wearing T-shirts when it hit 18 C. Right now it's 27 C and I'm actually feeling a bit chilly (it was 29 C yesterday). Summers reach 36 C with high humidity.
Oh. I am sorry. True, it doesn't appear for normal windows. Anyway, as some other user suggested, visit "about:config" and change the privacy settings there.
Japan isn't really ahead of Singapore in this regard due to its position much further north. The heat in Singapore is unbearable inside a building without a/c during the day. Putting on a casual shirt will hardly help in that situation.
As someone who has lived and spent a lot of time in both very humid and hot areas, like South America and the Southeastern US, and as someone who has also lived in the PNW... I have to say, you simply need to accept that you simply don't know what humidity is in the PNW... heat too, and just weather in general (haha, people in seattle had a meltdown when it hailed).

Sure, it's more humid, than, say, San Diego, but it's not humid in the PNW, by any rational means.

There's a reason AC is uncommon up there, because it's really not necessary.

As for heating, that's more of a concern up there, and that's why oil heating is WAY more common there, than, say, Alabama. The opposite is true for cooling, too...

But, as someone else who lived in the PNW, I have to agree with you at least on one front, some good fingerless gloves are basically necessary in the winter.
The difficult job of being Line's CTO
Nuts are very expensive by weight. Take shelled walnuts... those can be quite expensive. If I remember right an 18-wheeler carries about 50 metric tons of goods, so at $15/kilo for shelled walnuts that's $750,000 sitting on a truck that seems to be protected by a little $100 GPS tracker that can be easily disarmed.

$750,000 is a lot of money for a truck full of nuts. Even if you just skim 13%, that's a hundred thousand dollars. If you're selling consumer electronics, you attract attention. If the police see your car full of iPhones, or if they open a basement and find thousands of iPhones, that's suspicious. But if they see a basement full of walnuts? They'd just close the door and move on. Nobody suspects walnuts to be stolen unless you're actively looking for them. It's not as if the walnut farm can blacklist the walnuts' IMEI or something either. Just go around to a bunch of small, independent grocers and ask if they want to buy $2000 of walnuts for half the usual price.

Or, even more brilliantly, start an online walnut selling business. Grocers might turn you in for your obviously stolen nuts, but some random Internet walnut buyer? I'm someone who eats a lot of nuts and I have no idea how I'd even check if my nuts were stolen. What am I gonna do, call them? "Hello, do you sell stolen walnuts?" "Nope" "Ok thanks!"
I don't get it. These kind of dots are not news, they have been around for ages, the EFF cracked the code in 2005 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_steganography)

Why did no one at the intercept check for them? Its trivial and they have to know about this kind of stuff?
Making it look good is not the time that counts really here.
Extra time is useful only in some parts of the process. Cooking time would be similar in both cases for each piece and this is the critical part.

"went for max" would mean here more ornamentation and bigger pieces. Is easy to cook perfectly a small pot, but the challenge is hugely increased if you are expected to produce bigger, more fragile pieces, with more parts that can fall off, and a structure that needs to carry more weight. 'A' can afford to play safe and small in this game, 'B' can't. You would need to be 'good' to be sucessful playing the A game, but would have to be 'a master' to be successful in B group.

No only they are different levels of challenge. Is a different level of learning. Even if A can do small and simple pieces, we can't say that are better than B in this sense (nobody had evaluated B doing small pieces). The opposite is also true. There is not guarantee that A are ready for the bigger pieces at the end of the course and wouldn't fall for the same errors than B.

> I find it disturbing that you think hiring diversity entails a sacrifice.

Of course it's a sacrifice. Under-represented groups are under-represented in standard recruiting channels. That's tautological. If you want a set of recruiting channels that represents all available talent, you can't use the standard set of channels. You need to go catalog all of the available sources of talent, including obscure sources. That takes effort. That's a sacrifice.

In addition, under-represented strengths don't show up in standard assessment techniques. Again, that's tautological. Standard assessment only measures over-repesented strengths. If you want to measure under-represented strengths then you need to use custom assessment techniques which, again, takes additional effort, which is a sacrifice.

These conclusions just fall naturally from the word "under-represented" and a presumption that there is room for improvement in recruiting channels and assessment. If there is no such room, the additional effort will fail to change the hiring demographics. Which will be evidence that your recruiting channels are representative and your assessments accurate, and you can ease up on recruiting pipeline optimization.

What's disturbing to you about any of this?
Redis is great when used as a persistent cache for short-lived + no value data, or data that can be reproduced from another source. If your data, or queued items, have value then find a better tool.

But if you're foolish enough to use it as a database... lol.
Does this include housing, food, healthcare, etc. for Harvard figure? Looks like not, so the comparison is kinda meaningless.

Also:

The price for each inmate has doubled since 2005, even as
court orders related to overcrowding have reduced the
population by about one-quarter. Salaries and benefits for
prison guards and medical providers drove much of the increase.

I looked for the word "union" in the article and it's not there. I guess it's an unsolvable mystery why the costs raise. And even if the number of inmates declines (as it already did, according to the article) would the workforce be reduced? Doesn't look likely, unions are very powerful voting blocks.
Let me know if you have stuff to say about that subject, it's something of quite a bit of interest to me, and I'd be eager to read about it.

> Every discussion about anything in Safari on HN, even if not at all related, for the last year or two has included multiple people complaining about the lack of WebRTC.

> Now it's here and there is a new complaint /s

WebRTC is 6 years old and it's been implemented in Firefox and Chrome for 5 years now ! Since then there's plenty of other DOM API that where introduced and are not supported in webkit, for instance :

- service workers

- push API

- Fetch API

- User Timing API

- Subresource Integrity

On the JavaScript side, the JSC team has been doing a great job for the past two years, leading the way in term of performance and ES2015+ support, but on the DOM side, Safari is really lagging far behind (which is, I guess, probably because they don't want the compete with there native mobile apps).
I'll never forget something Lloyd Biggle Jr. wrote in the intro to a short story. It went something like this: given a group of people in a sewer, the mainstream author will lovingly write about those who stay there. The SF author will write about those trying to get out.

I get it - it's tempting to solve the Harvard Business School issue by sending the MBA students to prison before they wreck havoc on the economy. But I'm not sure their dads would pay the exceeding tuition.

Also, there is the whole question of whether it would be fair to the other prisoners. Pretty soon the prison economy would be infested with cigarette derivatives and yard swaps.

> why are people trying to circumvent the paywall if they didn't want the WSJ's article specifically? Why can't they just go somewhere else? Why do they load HN discussion with complaints about a paywall rather than "here's the free, independent version that's just as good"?

Because people come to HN, click on a link, see it's paywalled and leave a comment complaining about it, then move on to a different post. Most people who complain about the paywall likely aren't invested enough in the headline to find another source for the same information.

Personally I mostly skim HN for news. If an article is paywalled and isn't profoundly interesting to me, I can spend the time it would cost me to look up alternate sources for the same story just reading something else instead. I don't read WSJ articles because they're better, I read them because they're there. In fact, I actually prefer other news outlets.

You're misattributing motives to what boils down to mere laziness. And even in doing that you don't actually have a case because many news stories have alternative sources in the HN comments, especially when they're paywalled or too superficial.

So, yes, you're misattributing motives, which is literally how you just defined strawmen.

Think about that for a second...$75K/yr for abhorrent, yet improving conditions and you'll come to the correct conclusion that contractors are absolutely fleecing not only the p̶r̶i̶s̶o̶n̶s̶ tax payers, but the prisoners themselves.

Half a lifetime ago, I had to spend a weekend in jail while visiting a friend in California (accused of theft by a drunk lady who couldn't find her credit cards and fingered me instead of realizing that she may have left it at the bar. The best part was when I had to fly back out for a court date, they told me they were dropping the charge for an obvious lack of evidence. This decision was made on the actual court date, so I got to waste even more money on airfare and travel ). I was surprised at the entrepreneurial zeal of those who have no issue profiting from misery and suffering. In the LA area at least, many former/older celebrities are investors or owners of prison supply companies. Most notable was Bob Barker's company which sold travel-sized generic toothpaste for $7. In this case, the price is wrong, Bob.

The fingerprinting machine was the size of a ultra-deluxe 70's Xerox
machine, regularly needed service, and looked like it had a sticker price around 5 figures (a feature that is just an add-on to $500 phones.) I think that 10x-20x inflation is pretty consistent across the board in the American penal system. The collect calling system is also beyond ridiculous given the near zero cost of landline telecommunications and that most cell phones can't receive collect calls. The food you're eating is the absolute worst (in terms of taste of course) nutritionally. Nearly everything is processed and is done so in the cheapest way possible. When I say as cheap as possible, I mean that the $.49 Nissin Ramen is an actual delicacy (No exaggeration. Some of the inmates would pool their resources together and "cook" the ramen in a giant plastic bag with hot water that surely must be leeching pcb's and/or phthalates from the container.) After a few months of that diet, even the most physically fit people developed a weird type of gut and loss of musculature.
I didn't eat anything while there, but I observed that the only nutritional guideline that could possibly be met that of 2K+ calories/day. I know it's not Club Med, but that type of diet is a blocker for any type of rehabilitation. It was depressing to look at and had the effect of making one more docile and depressed.

So while California may spend $75K per prisoner, the value they spend is probably closer to $7K. It's kind of brilliant in a sadistic way, as if the prisons, their programs, food, and environment were designed to maximize recidivism.

Now that I think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if some elements were designed in this way
You could use DynamoDB and S3 for persistence if you're taking the AWS route.
Your last point is interesting, but RAM is as relevant a spec as some of the others Apple still lists, like the A10 64-bit processor. If I'm not supposed to care how much memory there is, why should I care whether there's a 64-bit or a 43-bit processor, or a f/2.2 camera lens?
It's a numbers game really. At present the numbers show that prison makes people worse. I'll add my own anecdata and say that I've seen people come out of prison much worse than they went in.

And, if, for $75,000 per person per annum we can't work towards better outcomes, then I think we can agree something is very wrong with the current approach.

> Not relevant because there's little to gain from hitting a machine twice within an 1 hour window. There's no need to pwn a machine you already pwned.

Of course it is relevant. It means that you're unlikely to get anything "pwned". When someone logs in, an authentic request towards host A will appear. Given your proposed attack, a fraudulent request would appear a few seconds later towards "unknown host". The only way such an attack would go through would be if the user was confused which request was the legitimate one (which is clear if one says "unknown"). Otherwise, the user will already have approved the legitimate one, either with a timed or direct approval, neither of which will apply to the fraudulent one.

> So instead of being able to pwn all your machines, they can pwn all the machines that you connect to since the first compromise. Better than nothing, but only marginally since you probably visit your important machines somewhat frequently (+ opportunities to piviot between machines). This also means they can access all your github repos since they're on the same host.

I am having trouble understanding your wording here, but I believe that you might have misunderstood "timed" approvals as being per login-target (e.g. "accept all github logins for 1 hour"), when they are per login-source (e.g. "accept all logins from my work machine for 1 hour").

If you get someone to do a "timed" approval, it means that you given the pairing data from the workstation that tried to login, you can perform any login within an hour towards any host. Such a timed approval is sort of a bad idea, but note that all approvals are still logged, so the user would at least be aware of the problem.

If the user doesn't do timed approvals, then you can only ever "pwn" one machine at a time. However, if the request shouldn't be obviously fraudulent, it would have to be towards a host the person uses often, and it would still have to be using pairing data from the workstation the user is currently working on.

Both such attacks fails the usual sanity check: It requires you to already have compromised the user so much that the attack is pointless to do. If you are able to obtain the kryptonite pairing data from a users workstation, needed to either use a timed approval or to make the request not look obviously fraudulent, then you also have the privileges to replace the ssh client with an evil one (e.g., one that signs evil login requests rather than the local one, one that creates persistent evil shell sessions, etc.).

With such privileges, all the users machine-local private keys would also be implicitly compromised. The kryptonite key could be abused, but would not be compromised (that is, hosts have been accessed with your privileges, but the key is still safe and does not need rotation).
