Perceiving white males to be hard done by is amusing.

Here’s what you don’t get: none of these groups are homogeneous. It is perfectly plausible for a “white male” manager to discriminate against a white male Worker if that manager is incentivised to do so, either explicitly or implicitly. I mention in another comment an example of Google systematically attempting to disempower Workers (for which members of the boss class gave those bosses a mere slap on the wrist)

I think a lot also depends on which border guard you get and what their 'feel' for you is. I was in the US a few month ago and got waved through after 30 seconds and a couple of basic questions (might have helped that I was travelling with my wife and daughter). When I was in Canada a few years ago I got called into a separate room and asked a bunch of questions about what I do for a living, what my parents do for a living, how long I was planning to stay, how much money I had with me etc. etc.

No memes here, just detailed accounts which overwhelmingly demonstrate that paid-for representatives have a strategy to deal with this.
As for civic duties, you do not have a civic duty to uphold a process which is a textbook example of regulatory capture. If you get success by doing it, great. But statistically, for the majority of Americans, talking to their rep is worse than doing nothing. It's spending their time and effort on a process which is designed to ignore them, so they don't spend that same effort searching for an alternative process which might actually work.

This process used to be effective; before it was circumvented by lobbying activity. You can't cling to it today just because it worked yesterday. You also can't get jobs by just turning up to places and handing out your CV. Times change.

Theres another case, though. Some people have no choice but to be "difficult". Consider, for example, a lawyer from an international firm travelling with company devices, which have on them privileged information that can under no circumstances be disclosed. These kinds of people have no choice but to be "difficult".

Hi HN, I built Statuspage because I wanted to make a status page for our Odyssey product[1].
The goal was to keep as much of the functionality of performing status checks and rendering a status page within the package as possible, while allowing for maximum flexibility in writing custom status checks for your specific application.

I'd be very happy to accept pull requests with new status checks!

Fine, be angry. Even if the reason for anger was justified, the abuse isn't. Write a scathing blog post, rant on youtube, don't buy future products, organize a boycott. Fine. Death threats, calling people at all hours, swatting them, harassing their employer, egging people on to do these things. That's abuse, and nothing that should ever happen because in your opinion someone "fucked up [their own] ip".

My whole point is that you might want certain things over other things.

None of those things you want is a human right. Want water? Dig a well. Want to eat? Grow some food. Want shelter? Build something. If somebody helps you out, its out of the goodness of their heart or a pre-existing obligation.

Saying something is a human right places demands on others which you have no right to do.
It shows how far the US has shifted to the right when the NYT would describe Pinker as a liberal. Twenty years ago his views were considered more center-right (in the US at least). But, I am off-topic ...

The biggest problem with social media is that it massively amplifies radical (and, often ignorant or misguided) opinions. This especially disturbs me, because I sort of helped cause it. As a kid, I wanted the more radical, fringe perspectives to have greater influence in the mainstream. But, in an age when content is free (I.e. paid for by ads), the loudest and most extreme make the most money.

Now, I cringe. There’s little discussion, dialogue, or dialectic - less prefrontal cortex and lots more amygdala and limbic. And, if we think of the PFC as what makes us most human, most intelligent - then yes, we dumb.

But, don’t lose hope. There are still plenty of moderate and reasonable people out there. It’s just that they’re not normally the raucous, crass ones. A rule of thumb for me is to shun the loudest most aggressive voices, because they almost always know very little.

Chinese call herbal teas “liang cha”; the argument that “herbal tea” should not be called tea is a somewhat modern English notion. Other languages freely use tea/cha for infusions of many plants.

This book comes to my mind.

https://www.amazon.com/How-News-Makes-Dumb-Information/dp/08...

Sommerville argues that news began to make us dumber when we insisted on having it daily.

Now millions of column inches and airtime hours must be filled with information--every day, every hour, every minute. The news, Sommerville says, becomes the driving force for much of our public culture. News schedules turn politics into a perpetual campaign. News packaging influences the timing, content and perception of government initiatives.

News frenzies make a superstition out of scientific and medical research. News polls and statistics create opinion as much as they gauge it. Lost in the tidal wave of information is our ability to discern truly significant news--and our ability to recognize and participate in true community.

I used to consume news daily, obsessively even when I was younger. I was that addict that used to refresh cnn.com compulsively every few minutes at a stretch. Now, I come to HN and a few other niche sites for 'information' or 'news'. But I no longer visit cnn or NYT as much any more.
There's a phenomenally interesting article that goes into details on this very question: "The Bad News About the News" [1] by Robert Kaiser. Kaiser is a 50 year veteran of the Washington Post having worked as a reporter and editor over the decades. He chose to retire shortly after the newspaper was purchased by Bezos.

There's enough nuance and detail that I think cliff notes would likely just mangle the points made. One related thing I would observe is that there are plenty of level headed articles that try to view things impartially and without bias or prejudice. Yet these articles seem to rarely gain traction and visibility in social media, which is where those all so valuable clicks derive from.

I'm having trouble seeing how you got this impression.
People living on the island Hvar speak quite a unique version of Croatian. The Venice influence is huge there, graveyard is filled with gravestones of 16th+ century elite.

I sometimes find them hard to understand due to heavy usage of words with Italian roots. But their grammar is equivalent to Croatian grammar.

They also use the word "čaj".

I'd say Croatian as a language was popular and was heavily used on coastal areas even before Italian influence, and after too.
But where do we boil water for "herba-ta"?
In "Czajnik" (keetle), where root "czaj" most definately comes from "cha".

> What would you want a make replacement to look like?

Admittedly I haven't given a ton of thought to this specific problem, but here goes:

I actually like Make from a conceptual standpoint. I think it's a good idea to codify build orchestration in code rather than non-human-readable output from a GUI application. My main gripe is that it seems to be very much a 1.0 tool: it was build to solve a specific problem, and then features were added as needed. I would love to have an iteration on that concept which benefits from what we've learned from Make while rounding off the rough edges of what feels like the result of a largely ad-hoc design process.

As far as what that would look like: I would like to see a concise, low-level API for doing the kinds of things Makefiles do (i.e. defining a dependency graph, setting up build parameters etc), and better tools for composition.

Also I would sacrifice a bit of terseness for the benefit of readability. For instance an arbitrary keyword like `Phony` could be replaced by a more extensible name-spacing syntax which lets you know exactly what's going on.

I'm not sure what kind of answer you are expecting. All I am saying is that Intel is not uniquely in the wrong here. There is a whole industry of bad decisions. Whether the decisions were conscious, or only obvious in hindsight I can't say.

Meltdown is a Variant of Spectre this isn't how Intel classifies it, this is how Google Project Zero, and heck even Intel's competitor AMD classifies it.

https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/speculative-execution

https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/reading-pri...

It's also not the scariest variant, it's easily fixed (performance degradation aside), doesn't require a microcode update to be fixed hence is 100% software mitigated, doesn't allow you to cross between guest and host memory address spaces and isn't remotely exploitable.

On the other hand variant 1 and 2 are much scarier because they are the complete opposite of Meltdown.

If we separate by intelligence ... humans are clearly quite exceptional.

We can pick a great many animals, and say that if we separate by intelligence, they are expectional, doing things that other species can at best only crudely approximate. Human specialised intelligence is really good at doing human specialised things.

I think I'd agree that humans do some things with their intelligence that might put them into a fresh category, but the point I'm suggesting is that humans are not the only creature with an exceptional intelligence.

This reminds me of slack. The point of a password AND an email is that will essentially make it “two factor”. With email only you are no longer two factor.

Once your email is hacked, you will be globally owned. No password required - they just need to send a simple phishing site to collect your email password.

You’ll also need to logon to your email to access whatever site which means whatever keylogger is installed on whatever computer you use in some public place will also be a threat.

Hope this helps.

This is a good point. I live on the East Coast and have never worked for Google, so I hadn't considered how the work environment and their unique company culture might have been significant factors.

There's just not that many (if any) companies here which have taken such a radical approach (I mean this in the most positive sense) to intentionally crafting a company culture so focused on employee satisfaction and retention.

But, I hadn't thought about how those features which seem like extraordinary perks from the outside--like, no-charge gourmet meals on campus, on-site laundry, and a college-environment, might transform the culture in totally unanticipated ways.

Anyway, oddly enough (now that I think about it), the Navy was remarkably similar in their approach: they did provide a "campus" (ship), with no charge ~~gourmet meals~~ chow, on-site laundry, and pretty good security. ;)

You’re missing the point. If Steamboat Willie was allowed to lapse out of copyright, and Disney decided to release it on DVD, it would still be illegal to copy it, since that would be breaking the DRM, which is in itself illegal.

Which was my original point – if they allow copyright to lapse, they’ll just add more DRM to everything to make copyright irrelevant.

Copyright was never meant to make anything hard to copy, and neither is most DRM. Both are there to make it illegal to copy.

A Security Issue in Intel’s Active Management Technology
There is better than Huffman coding now, see range coding [1] or arithmetic coding [2], as used in Zstandard [3] for example. In a nutshell Huffman coding is optimal under the constraint that one uses an integer number of bits per coded symbol. This constraint is quite natural so was not stated explicitly, but it's not a necessity. Range / arithmetic coding are using a continuous encoding covering a full sequence of symbols. In the end, this enables having a fractional number of bits per coded symbol, and matching the actual probability of a given symbol. This saving leads to a more compact encoding.

The patents have now expired, which is why the technology starts to appear in open source and royalty free implementations like Zstd.
