Well that was fun! I tried out the timeshift program and my PC duly went a bit mad. ntpq -p showed all being well.

Chromium threw a fit because news.ycombinator.com's SSL cert had expired and offered to reset the clock which it could not do, given that I'm not in the habit of running apps as root. My Kerberos tickets all expired so Evolution lost contact and so did quite a few other things. MariaDB dumped core. systemd's timers went berserk so things like my LetsEncrypt cert tried renew itself.

I'm still hunting through some odd looking log files but overall things seem to be back to normal when I reran timeshift and returned to current time.
I for one welcome our robot overlords.

Please don't assimilate me.

Kidding aside I found Siri likes a southern draw, probably has something to do with elongation of the vowel sounds and enunciation. Basically pretend to be Forrest Gump and you're good to go.
As a male, I can offer something of a counter-point: clutter makes me uncomfortable and I find it hard to ignore it or "let it go". If there's a full trash bin, I feel that I need to empty that bin before I can throw anything else away. This feeling is not shared by my partner who will happily wedge an item in around the edge or pile on top with the intention of emptying the bin at a later time, when it's more convenient.

It's not clear to me where the compromise in this situation might lie. First and foremost, I think it's important to admit that this isn't a big deal either way. But the fact that I am uncomfortable, or that the knowledge of the full bin itches at the back of my mind, makes it an issue I find difficult to dismiss. In my own life I try to remind myself that this is my own issue and that leaving the bin until later is not an unreasonable attitude to take.

In practice, I believe I often just deal with the bin (or whatever issue is at hand) and move on. Sometimes, I am ashamed to say, I get cranky and maybe even huff and puff as I do so. By the same token, on many occasions my partner will empty the bin even though they may prefer to leave it for later. I think that this is compromise, but it's not anything systemic and there's no "rule" that dictates who does what.
I think you are missing the forest for the trees a bit here by focusing just on cleaning standards. As the author said, part of the emotional labor is the management of the household but also the management of relationships within the house.

This isn't about forcing a man "to fully adopt her perspective." This is about the idea that women are more often expected to be the ones to suggest a compromise, or to be the ones which have to point out these rifts in the relationship. More generally, to do the actual work of being in a relationship and keeping it healthy.

To flip around what you just said a bit: Why doesn't the husband notice that his wife is always picking up after him, or that she is not recieving acknowledgement of the work she has done, work that he feels should be acknowledged when he does it? Why must the woman be the one to notice there is a problem, to articulate it and to come up with a solution, as if the problem is her problem to solve and not a problem with the relationship, which consists of two people who are supposed to be partners?
Hm, I wasn't able to replicate it. I'm using a Kali Linux VM.
I'll try some other OSes and see if it works on there.

Mike Monteiro has an excellent talk[1] on contract negotiation and where to get lawyers involved. The pertinent point for me was the following:

Contract negotiation makes them fair. If you just sign whatever people put in front of you, you give up your rights to have a fair contract.

Also:
The contract given to you probably represents the opposing lawyers wish list of all the things they wish they could have. Most/some of these things will be extremely disadvantageous to you. Just signing anything they give you means you submit to their wish list, not your own.

Way outside my field so I can't tell you about variability, but BH accretion disks are definitely hotter and emit intense x-rays and other nasty stuff.
Yes, true.

Although at least in this case it will return to being simple at the next release.

But I do see your point, .net has certainly grown in complexity since the early days.
Absolutely. Even if we got divorced tomorrow I would be in a much, much better financial situation than if I'd stayed single. My spouse knows that from the other side of things too (was previously married to a lazy mooch for six years)

Part of that goes into the "luck" category as well.
Should the Middle Class Invest in Risky Tech Startups?
The problem with phone security nowadays isn't merely the data people have on the phones, its the data people have in the cloud as well with passwords being saved on the device.

> If you are so concerned about security that you think there is a good chance someone is going to physically attack you to get into your phone, you should just assume someone will get into your phone eventually, and don't keep any sensitive data on it. For the other 99.9999% of the population, face id is good enough.

I don't understand this statistic. Are you arguing 99.9999% of all phones aren't a potential target of being stolen? Are you arguing 99.9999% of all people's data isn't interesting to authorities? You're being overly optimistic about FaceID.
> One NDA I was required to sign explicitly stated that every idea or functionality I developed on other projects for up to twelve months after delivery of their project was subject to review by the issuer of the NDA

Saying 'required' makes it sound like you didn't have a choice -- out of curiosity, did they have other leverage over you above getting your help on their project, and did you attempt to negotiate on this clause?

I don't doubt that non-compete clauses happen in NDAs; other people in this thread to mention seeing them. But I think they're not that common either. I've seen my share of NDAs and never seen a non-compete clause. I do get non-compete clauses in employment contracts that also include NDAs as well as invention assignments and more, but I haven't personally seen a non-compete clause in a pure non-disclosure contract, that seems abnormal. But I agree completely that one should always read their contracts carefully before signing.
CD-ROM Shader Effect: the last part of the tutorial on PBR iridescence is out
The document reads as PR and novlang so it's probably not much more than that.

They still operate under US law so cannot really enforce user privacy.

Code is closed and proprietary hence relies on blind trust.

Depending on your threat model Apple might not provide the kind of privacy you need.
Thanks! My only problem with it is that, on mobile, it stays fixed to the device height, even when the content is longer. When I make it fill the entire body, it streches across all the content, but stops at the bottom edge of the page content, leaving an ugly white area on desktop.
Does anyone have an idea, how I can make it stretch across the whole body, while also stretching to the viewport height if the content doesn't reach the bottom edge?
Indeed, the Egyptian and Pakistani armies fund themselves through massive private sector efforts which are double digit percentages of their respective countries' GDP. And of course the command economies like the USSR.

Let's just say it's not a great idea.

Also, it's pretty important for social cohesion and source diversity that almost everyone pay some tax and receive some explicit benefit. For example if tax is something other people pay, why not set it high? And if everyone gets social security, not just means-tested folks, then support for the program will be solid; if only those people get it, then why not cut it?

On the source diversity side: CA gets too much of its tax from rich people. (As a lifetime believer in progressive taxation it hurts me to say this, since they are the folks who can afford it the most easily, and mostly they are happy to pay it). But most of the highest payers get their income through cap gains; when the economy sags (so more spending is needed) such taxes sink aggressively, while the wage taxes fluctuate more smoothly. So again, a wider tax base works better.

If humans were perfect little machines none of this would matter as saving and borrowing could be countercyclical. Ha.
There's more than the device code. They're not going to open source their entire web infrastructure. They DO store your data, somewhere. Either way, you need trust.
Best, as in cheapest, or highest throughput, or easiest to configure? Your network type matters as well. A pi-hole works okay and is a low price option for a home network, but would get swamped on a work network.

My suggestion: make a pi-hole, and see what you like about it. If it doesn't work for you, buy a real firewall from Cisco or similar. Then use the raspberry pi as a media machine or some other project.
Em dashes should always be treated as a wordbreak, though; is that much software really broken regarding them? Just as a quick test with what I have installed on this computer, grep, Emacs (in fundamental-mode and text-mode) and LibreOffice Writer all recognise it as a word boundary.
> Given that many social networking apps show you the location in which the photo was taken as an option for geotagging posts, it's clear that the data is there.

I had literally no idea. None. Probably because I don't upload photos to social networking sites from my phone. So I'd be pretty shocked that Whatsapp could plot my movements despite not having access to location data...
One problem I see with that quote is that it is presuming that all programmers choose to just dive in at their discretion. It ignores the fact that often programmers are simply told to just dive in and deliver quickly. It's simply a game of mixed attitudes on project management delivers mixed results.
With less storms, and more rain at once; increasing runoff and erosion, lowering predictability/stability of farming. That is, if it doesn't just stop raining all together in a given area...

This is so desperately needed it isn't even funny. Is there somewhere I can sign up for updates on your progress, try out alpha builds, etc?
The RTC is not a factor for problems in music playback on phones or elsewhere. It's only for "wall clock" time, and generally only for when the system boots. The OS timer tick that drives the scheduler is often generated by the CPU and some operating systems don't use it anymore -- Linux has offered a tickless config for a while that I think many android configs capitalize on for the sake of conserving battery. The scheduler could be a culprit for playback discontinuity (stalls) but not problems with the tempo.

I'm wondering -- "What might cause music playback to be faster than normal?" I don't think I know enough to tell. Perhaps the clocks on the audio playback device are skewed? Most SoCs use a dedicated DSP which doesn't seem terribly different from PC's. Not sure, but we can say for certain that it's definitely immune to changes in wall clock time (whether in the RTC or its representation in the OS).
> it can bite C's shiny metal ass

Can it actually? I've certainly seen benchmark's where a JITed program is comparable/marginally faster than a C program, but I've never seen one where it outright trounces C.
I recently did the same thing and have packaged it all up as an Ansible setup script [1]. We're using it for a Pi based robot arm [2], so having a built-in access point and a web interface to use for configuring the WiFi means you don't need to rely on the user plugging in any peripherals. Works well!

Incidentally, the framework (headlessPi [3]) we use to run "apps" in the browser and configure the system is all open source and easy to configure for your own use.

They still have to give in to legal request and government request. I remember reading on HN that apple has a history of cooperating with law enforcement behind the scenes. Also they were in Prism.
I'd want the source of your quote first ;)
Don’t be mislead by the headline. “Up to one-third of U.S. phone owners have enrolled” and a collective 17% of “people” use it regularly. That is not bad! It is still early days; new payment systems take time to roll out. But once you use it you become a fan, as you’ve discovered.

And did you just compare enrolling in Apple Pay to a VCR? All you have to do is point your camera at your card. That’s pretty much it. It is very consumer friendly.
> 22. If you're at a company with deep pockets and you want to really have influence, offer the potential of a very large license fee for key software middleware. It works.

What is number #22 (sorry, English is not my native language)? Is he talking about clients that offered him a large licensing fee and gained huge influence over him for doing so?
Jobs in tech seldom involve carrying around half one's body weight in equipment, and the ability to recover from serious injury is less likely to be important.
I would actually say this is on-topic, as per HN FAQ:

“If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.”

I’ve learned quite a
bit through this article.
I now even see a possibility that ingrained dynamics like these could have lead to our industry’s well known lack of gender diversity.

It’s food for thought for sure, wouldn’t you agree?
Great app!
If a husband chooses to do a deep clean instead of calling around to find a cleaning service, it does not seem like laziness and more like a misunderstanding. It's quite likely that the deep cleaning involved more hours of work than calling around would have.

The problem is that resolving misunderstandings can require a lot of "emotional labour", and it's often easier to just do things yourself rather than try to resolve the misunderstanding.

But it's not solely her responsibility to resolve these misunderstandings, that's on her husband too. If not, your label of weak probably does apply even if lazy doesn't.
20-30. I read for fun and to learn about things I like. Never understood the HN/blogger obsession with cramming 100 self help/business books into their brain every year.

I am always amazed by the number of people who obsess on tax payments in isolation.

Even though my taxes are quite low here in California when compared to other places I've lived (France, Germany, Australia), I find overall it costs more to live here. Taxes + medical expense total more here than in those other countries. Fuel is cheaper but I have to drive more to get around easily. The schools are dreadful (and Palo Alto schools are supposedly the best in CA) so I paid a lot to get around that. Telecom is expensive (well, cheaper than AUS!). Etc. Not to mention that a strawberry doesn't taste like strawberry.

Americans seem to put up with huge transaction costs (both in time and money) to get some "savings" which seems backwards.

Is your VM host resetting the time in the guest?
Of course not, but that's assuming that the shadowy "Eurogroup" decides everything.

Which is not true. The European Parliament is democratically elected, the European Council is (indirectly) democratically elected, the European Council is literally the heads of states elected, again, democratically, by member countries.

The European Commission is not democratically elected, because guess what, no public administration is fully democratically elected. No state could ever function if its "plumbers" are changed 100% every 4 years. The UK doesn't do it, Switzerland doesn't do it, Australia doesn't do it, France doesn't do it, etc.
Since Europeans are much more sophisticated with their culture and tastes then us simpleton Americans it makes total sense.

Say did you hear about the European successful Mars rover or maybe any interesting technological innovation coming out of Europe in the last 50 years?

But seriously the CT6 compares nicely to the top range 7 series and S class Mercs. It has a bit of flair but in America we see that as a good thing.

The thing that gets me about the X is this. While I know cross-overs are mostly a design statement rather than being about actually living the wild sporting life, the fact that you have something that's nominally an SUV that can't have a roof rack because of the gull wing doors strikes me as pretty silly. (Of course, EVs aren't great for lugging canoes to remote locations anyway.)
Are you claiming a full on device tracking feature was a bug? How do you accidently implement that?
Jekyll also makes use of Liquid (https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) which works great for auto generating page content. As an example I setup a simple one page Jekyll site that has a liquid script that automatically embeds in alphabetical order all images found in a folder.

AFAIK dnsmasq (which Pi-hole uses) doesn't support wildcards. However Pi-hole does import hugely extensive lists of domains so you'll unlikely to need wildcard matching anyway.

Pi-hole is just dnsmasq plus a whole bunch of 3rd party curated lists of bad domains and some helper scripts. It's obviously the helper scripts that give Pi-hole its value but equally it's very easy to build your own equivalent. Which is useful if you think you need something beefier to host it than a Raspberry Pi.

Disclaimer: I have built my own Pi-hole equivalent - a few years before Pi-hole was first released in fact.

As for you questions about which content gets blocked, my server has successfully been blocking the stuff you described (see caveat below). In fact it was so successful at blocking IoT telemetry that it highlighted a weird bug on Sky+ HD set top boxes where they refused to boot if they couldn't phone home when connected over ethernet.

Caveat: I don't run Windows so cannot comment about the Win 10 telemetry data.

One source of RTC weirdness is the fact that inb/outb to/from the RTC and other legacy parts of the ISA aren't protected by mutex on linux. So if you're unlucky enough to collide with some other program doing something innocuous with the RTC you can accidentally set bits that will never be set by the RTC. Many RTCs decide not to tick anymore when that happens.

If all your programs use /dev/rtc and ioctl()s you are probably a little safer because there will be coarse locks around the RTC itself, those will serialize the activity. But IIRC the inb/outb stuff can be done from user space (as superuser) and even if you're only reading you have to write to the address register which could break a write-in-progress by sending its output to the wrong RTC field.

Hmm. Likely not working either given that telcos have migrated their backbones to fiber/internet long ago, and the exchanges between telcos are quite possibly also reliant on Internet.

Users flagged it, presumably because HN threads have a track record of not being able to stay civil and substantive when this sort of topic is invoked.

There's also the baity title, which looks neutral on the article page because of the whopper it's paired with, but amounts to a Molotov cocktail here. Internet forums—or at least this internet forum—does not do well with gender generalizations in titles. So in accordance with the HN guidelines ("please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait"), we'll s/men/some people/.

However, the current thread is fine so far, so we'll try turning off the flags.

Edit: in response to a reasonable complaint about my 'some people' edit, I changed the title to the least baity substring of the HTML doc title. That's what I'd have used if I had seen it sooner anyhow; we always prefer to use language from the article itself, down to the word where possible.
Ok, I see what you mean. The fundamental problem is that the Euro group doesn't officially exist as a separate unit within the EU.

The constitutional agreements of the Union essentially pretend that all member states are also automatically members of the currency union... But obviously this is not the case, because so many members either opted out or haven't yet been admitted into the Euro.

Since the informal Euro group has no official function, its power is executed through whatever decisions the finance ministers can push forward in their home countries.

Should the meetings' minutes be public? I think so. But it's not clear to me where to draw the line. If the finance minister of Germany calls the finance minister of Italy, we don't expect a public transcript. If there are a few more counterparts on the conference call, same thing. What are the criteria for when it becomes an official meeting of an inofficial body?

So if there is a dental patient in America and if in case he can reach both a dentist in America and a dentist in India in exactly 1 hour, would he choose to go to dentist in India or dentist in America?

Costs are as in title.
As they describe in the paper, if you want that behavior you can get it, but it comes at a cost. If you would like the softer guarantees (could be exception or not, but never invalid data), you can get better performance.

What they describe is a knob that lets you trade off static assurance against dynamic assurance, for performance. If you have good static tools (e.g. something like Rust's borrow checker, or various C++ tools I know nothing about) you can confidently not care one way or the other and take the performance.
