It's _highly_ relevant to this issue.

Perhaps I should have been more explicit, but: it's my opinion (one widely shared) that one of the reasons this sort of programme hasn't taken root in the USA already is that your Constitution effectively prohibits it. In principle with the entire document, and in practice with the 2nd.

Furthermore, I think that both the 1st and 2nd Amendments act as handy mineshaft canaries. You should mistrust the motivations of anyone who seeks to abrogate either.

Just in the process of outfitting the office with Thinkpad T480s's.

Why not X1 Carbon? At first it was the MX150 option for deep learning on the go, but we decided to drop that because it was going to be a pain the ass in Linux and it's not a very good GPU anyway - better to ssh to the server (The variant in T480s is 25% slower even though it has the same model name). Now it's just the price... Not quite worth the upgrade price for that many machines, and the limited upgradeability means we can get 8gb now and add 8 more when there is a bit more liquidity.

Couldn't the client send SNI after the DH and then the server authenticate the secret? That way MITM would always be detectable at least.
A few reasons:
- I know what is going to happen when I open anything and can get things where they need to be very quickly (since it is keyboard driven).

- The wm is working with me to use the entire screen.

- You can always revert to making windows float if you need it.

- You can use supporting terminal with no title bar which saves space (see here https://www.dropbox.com/s/0f08qa0dbhhc6nv/Screen%20Shot%2020...)

It is occasionally annoying when something doesn't behave as expected but its a fun tool to use in general.

Can I just say that what I really want is a mirrorless that is shaped more like a pistol than a traditional camera?

I have a 5DSR and a bunch of lenses, and don’t get me wrong, it is a fantastic camera...but, innovation in the form factor of cameras would be a welcome change. The existing industrial design is overly informed by the constraints of a roll of film, but, is not either the most ergonomic or the most stable position to hold a camera. We could do much better if we’d give it up.

Small size mirrorless bodies really show what’s wrong with the current style, too. They’re difficult to hold on to, and the buttons are virtually all dual purpose. At least the 5D has a nice grip, but with any kind of telephoto it becomes pretty awkward to stabilize.

Finally, with a “pistol format” camera, you can extend the viewfinder back from the lens, which can let you keep the existing big lenses and sensors but make an overall smaller package (the components move into the grip). This shallow sensor-lens depth is the main impediment to putting full frame glass and sensors into the standard small size mirrorless bodies. As has been cited elsewhere in this thread, smaller glass with higher density sensors is not a long term solution. Big glass does have a lot of advantages for high end photographs.
Excuse a brief bit of hyperbole, but what’s your stance on gun control? How do you feel about seatbelt and helmet laws?

All of those things and more exist for the protection of the users and/or general public - but many people hold the attitude that it should be up to the user to do or not so it right.

We have a history of banning or socially stigmatizing dangerous products and practices - see 3 wheel ATVs and lawn darts, for easy examples.

Similarly, and less extreme, standards and best practices exist exactly because it’s often pragmatically dangerous to expect the end user of a product to be an expert enough to avoid hidden or infrequent but high risk dangers, much less very common and high risk dangers. (See examples everywhere from medicine to aviation or the national elictrical code).

Making it easier to shoot yourself in the foot isn’t a virtue on its own...

I haven't kept up in Apple-land, but I believe the NeXT stuff is still foundational to their whole range of current OSes. When it was still NeXT, they went from supporting only Motorola processors to Sun's SPARC and Intel's processors, in hopes of finding a bigger market. I understand that OS flexibility enabled Apple to be much more strategic in their processor choices.

Using a Lenovo X1 Carbon (running Gentoo Linux) since ~1y and I absolutely love it - excellent battery runtimes (~6h with mixed programming activities, 8-10h if mostly idle, no crashes so far). Keyboard, touchpad and screen are fantastic. Threw it a couple of times (forgot I had it in my bag) onto my car's seat without repercussions (did the same with an XPS 13 but keyboard got skewed).

Dutch people learn English because it's such an important part of our education. Most people under 50 will speak English at a decent level.

Also, all our foreign movies and TV shows are subtitled, not dubbed, that is also important.

For me, early on I understood that English is the language of the computer world. So that makes learning English a necessity.
You seem to predict the law will have exactly the intended effects. That amounts to a very high regard for the lawmakers.

Remembering laws that haven’t worked as intended, and failing to recall anything particular about these lawmakers, I find your stance optimistic.
> The personal car took over America for a reason: it's the fastest and most pleasant way to get around.

The personal car took over America because the auto companies waged a campaign to dismantle the transit systems that American cities already had.

"Car culture" and "suburbs" are only something that started in the 1950's after the Eisenhower Interstate System got built.

And ridesharing is showing that people will give up a personal car if there is an alternative.
Professional grade lenses are big and heavy, and mirrorless cameras do nothing to remedy that.

In fact, I added a battery grip to my APS-C body for long days shooting with my 400/f4 to add grip surface & balance the weight. I was getting carpel tunnel before I added the grip.

Would you please stop doing flamewars on HN? This isn't thoughtful discussion and it just leads to low-quality sniping.
"but when I take them back to my computer (a retina laptop) the flaws become really noticeable."

This is true for all phones, no matter the cost. They simply can't compete with much cheaper but dedicated cameras for one vital reason: the sensor and lenses sizes plus noise. Phones need to be thin and they can devote only a small part of their area to a sensor plus lens. That lens also must follow a certain width/depth ratio to minimize image distortion, so if it's thin it also must be narrow, followed by a narrow sensor as well. Since a narrow sensor is exposed to less light than a larger one, to obtain the same level it has to be pushed to higher sensitivity to cope with lesser light, hence the higher noise.
>[Sweden's public transit is] no Switzerland or Japan, but it’s what a reasonably well run system looks like.

Comparing Sweden to NYC isn't fair.

NYC Subway has ~742 stations (v. ~100 in Stockholm) and 1,756M in annual ridership (v. ~328M in Stockholm). This is just for the subway and excludes NY transit bus ridership.
This article describes one of several recent camera designs that allow polarized light photography/ videography (see [1]). However Tibbs et al [1] have recently reviewed how in many situations in nature (and in many published field studies),a small amount of noise can create the appearance of polarization where there is none. I look forward to a camera design that incorporates Tibbs et al's suggestions for denoising and decreasing these errors, and that reveals those areas in the picture (if any) where the noise still overwhelms the signal.

The adapters exist but are never quite as good as the "real thing".

They'll misbehave with certain lenses, or the autofocus performance will be poor, or...

Sort of like console emulators.

They really did value design. Even at OS version 0.8, the thing was still so much prettier than the competition. The use of Display PostScript made everything so sharp. The dictionary and especially the full Shakespeare in nicely rendered fonts were great demos.

The NeXT monitors were so pretty that Steelcase bought a bunch for catalog photos of their furniture. Eventually somebody said, "Well, maybe we should get some computers to go with these" and they became early NeXT users.
Yeah...I may just suck it up and create the captions myself, put the videos on USB and play it through USB. We don't need to mess with YouTube and we can cancel the Youtube Red account, and be 100% accurate on the closed captions. That was my ultimate solution, just need to find the time.

Spotify does similar things with its discover weekly-lists, but at least in their case, the motivation somewhat obvious.

And we don't know when it will matter and when it won't matter, therefore we have to assume that it does matter unless we are sure it doesn't for our specific case.

Thank you for sharing this!

How do you get out of bed with such pessimism? Rome faced existential threats from German and Persian invaders, as well as multiple imperial assassinations and civil wars.

At the core of it, New York City simply has too many people on an old, straining infrastructure. And yes, though there are a few people who grow ever richer and a bloated City and State bureaucracy which are problematic, but there is also an enormous number of people who cannot and will not ever afford to live there - not middle class people hanging on, but a large number deep in poverty who won't ever get a foothold. And that's because there are actually a lot of services available. The city's has more than 10% of the entire homeless U.S. population, many of whom come out of state, and an estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants. With a population density is more than 2X that of many other thriving metropolises in the country, there's a lot of unnecessary suffering. When you're on either end of the economic spectrum, you can get a pretty good deal here. When you're in the middle, you get squeezed.

P.S. I don't know if you actually take the LIRR, but it's an absolute pleasure to ride compared to the subway.
Well, as in anything human it is a matter of incentives. Comcast probably has an incentive for logging and selling your data to advertisers, whereas the Russian mob probably has other, more pressing things to worry about.

I follow the same logic by setting up my own VPS in a rented $big_provider VPN. VPS companies are succulent targets that surely attract many eyes, whereas I doubt any non-state actor has the capacity of capturing and filtering the traffic of the millions of random VPNs that $big_provider has.

Can you configure the margins between those three terminal windows? I currently use Tmux with one fullscreen terminal to achieve a similar effect, but this looks interesting too. I'd like to eliminate any margins though. A one-pixel border is all I would want.
Not all TLS-enabled websites require SNI. I customised an https client so I dont use SNI unless a website requires it.

With all due respect, 100% adoption of SNI seems like some sort of popular myth among certain web forum commenters.

Perhaps we should do a survey of all websites found on HN on a given day and publish it. I would bet that the majority do not require SNI.
Apologies for the delay in replying. I use MS Project and an add-on called SSI Tools daily, both essential for CPM based project management. Also MS Outlook plus Clear Context for PIM and communications functionality. There's also MindManager which is a highly functional mind mapper plus a couple of plug ins for it.
Someone with a masters in education may or may not have the knowledge required for a particular subject, say a math or science. Or another way, just because someone has a masters in education doesn’t mean they can teach any specific class. Their background could be in counseling, administration, school psychology, or education methodology... not, for instance, typical high school subjects.
I think it's crazy that there's no upper bound in the time delay. Surely 1 month or even 1 year is long enough between inputs to penalize someone trying to brute force it?

That's true. Montreal just upgraded their rolling stock: (The MR-73 didn't owe them anything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MR-73) but the new cars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPM-10) have the doors in the same place as the MR-73 cars.

Admittedly I hadn't thought of that, but I don't think there's that much variety in rolling stock for a given location, and when speccing out replacements I don't think it's too much to ask that the doors are in the same place (cars are purchased in dozens...), maybe I'm wrong. Montreal is a much smaller network than New York.
What if we could have first class SSL certs for IP addresses? You connect to the IP and verify the cert it presents you with your PKI, then switch to the desired host via SNI or some other mechanism after DHE is established. I suspect you could do this without any extra hops but I haven't really thought through how that would work.
If you teach chemistry at community college you'll find that arrow-pushing and teaching reaction mechanisms is discouraged by faculty and resented by students because these things won't be on the test. But arrow pushing is a unifying concept that shows up everywhere; the sooner it is introduced, the better, as a chemist you really need to be familiar with the idea and its implications.

As a c.c student wishing to go further you have two problems: you need to discover the concepts that were not taught because they were "too difficult" and you need to gain familiarity with them, and that is easier with proper instruction,.
If there's one condition, use `it`. If there's two, use `this` and `that`, i.e.

If a party were to, by chance, to monitor both your entry and exit nodes couldn't they match the traffic by time & packet size, et al? Then use known techniques to match pages accessed (it's something like 85% accuracy IIRC).

That would match to individual IP, or potentially an individual if you're logged in.

Yeah the torque is probably the reason. From experience, if you stand on your brakes and throttle to take off power then let go your take off performance is better. It's part of the short field take off procedure.
I don't know what to think of this, that seems a weird implementation, is that a genuine iPhone ?

I would have thought that the cooldown would prevent entering a new passcode for an increasing period of time. There should have been several more reasonable cooldown period but way beyond the patience of the most tenacious toddler (eg: 1 day) before hitting 47 years.

What's going on then ? The iPhone allows you to try as many times as you want, but upon success, it tells you "Sorry bro, you have tried 1000th time before so you'll have to wait 80 years" What's the point ? Why no just prevent even attempting it ?

I understand the incentive, but if there is an obvious violation and you ignore it for years, without even a letter to the violator, you should probably not be allowed to decide to enforce it after that tech has become entrenched. It should be on the patent holder to explain why they didn't complain when the problem was small. Trademark owners can lose if they don't stand up early with a crew and desist.
> It depends when and what was done and at what age, what happened before and after. I can see being forgiving some thing up until the early 20s. People are still developing and personality could change I suppose.

I don't think Zuckerberg should be given a pass just because of this. His life since college has been nothing like the 20s that anyone else would go through (even others from Harvard). Not even close. Imagine the kind of effect that has on someone, especially with the kind of power he wielded (and still wields) through Facebook.
There aren't many ISP DNS servers that aren't garbage in my experience. Most of them don't send NXDOMAIN. Many of them are slower than either Google or Cloudflare despite being theoretically closer.
