Yup. This OP article is PC pseudoequality BS trying to force an agenda rather than look at the data. There are far more numerous genius men than women because of the wider variance (not expectation) of intelligence in men vs. women; and there’s also more intellectually-challenged men than women. Furthermore, testosterone, regardless of gender, is related to increased facial hair, wider jaw, bigger genital bits (female roids users’ external clitoris tends to grow), more aggression and more sexual contact. Furthermore, there are definitely changes in fetal brain development from testosterone exposure via PTT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_testosterone_transfer

The only (weak) argument I can find is that since servers that had a port 465 open also had to keep a port 25 open for compatibility, you could perform the same downgrade attack by blocking connections to port 465, which would result in a submission to the port 25. But that's a "if it's broken let's make sure it remains broken" kind of argument.

Exactly. It’s utopian “freedom” of tyranny like libertarianism. If every app bundled all of its own shared libs, and the FS deduped files and shared library loader deduped memory pages, there would be still be isolation, with sharing AND add the ability to upgrade any piece of software without having to maintain forests of NIX packages to or Habitat individual special libraries to reference count. And, to delete an app, just delete the app, which decrements dedupped files and deletes singular ones... no shared components to clean up! ZFS lz4+dedup plus GNU stow
True on both. On first point, obvious areas they should focus are strong sandboxing of tabs and cookie cleaning by default.

What you're describing may not be a subspace of the space I'm describing. Mine is definitely a subspace of yours - e.g. you can project functions into sums of shifted Dirac impulses by representing each function dimension as a linear combination of the "Dirac vectors" for that function's values.
Great to see that my city, Mumbai, is setting an example here. Plastic ban is a no brainer. People must move to either biodegradable carry bags and packaging or move to jute/steel/metal bags/utensils etc. Plastic would choke our world one day otherwise.

At the same time, I know it would be huge pain for a lot of people. In Mumbai, it rains really heavy. Like really really heavy. It rains more than 2x it rains in London and that too in just 4 months. So for a lot of people, plastic is literally the roof they need. Zoom in on Mumbai and you would see many shanties with blue "roof"s. That is all plastic. Hope municipality will allow such plastic sheets as they are not single use.

It would be easier but it is law and the IRS wouldn't like that. Part of this process of getting the info allows it to be a gift if the sponsor does include paying the taxes, they still need the info to do that.

Basically any transfer of value is tracked and the company that gives it away needs proof to write off the amount and/or declare it a gift.

You are making sweeping statements like "most people", or "not real" as if those are some sorts of axioms. To me it seems obvious you never really had to send money to let's call it a less-internationally-respected country. The country could be embargoed, or simply 'suspicious', and local regime probably takes exorbitant taxes from foreign remittances, and it's just a beginning of a long list of possible troubles. So, yes, lots of people world-wide, in spite of not being libertarians, or anarchists, or cocaine sellers, or a tech enthusiasts do have a lot of interest in cryptocurrencies. Though, few people really care if it's blockchain, or green cheese, of course.

Also, you seem to believe that high inflation somehow destroys internet access, and everything around it. I suppose it's something from Hollywood movies, sorry. Even in Somalia (which is typically a first example of failed state) internet is a working thing.

Jacinda Ardern had a strong anti-immigration position during her campaign, she literally promised to cut immigration by 20'000-30'000 per year, from 70'000. No surprise that current government basically dismantled all immigration schemes.

Awesome! What's there already is looking good. I wonder if it'll turn into an actual paper book some day like the second edition of TRPL did. [0]

On that note, my copy just shipped today (or at least received a tracking number), so get yours now!*

Alternatively TRPL is also free[1] of course, and there's a somewhat outdated PDF version[2] available. If you're motivated, you can just use that person's scripts to generate an updated copy probably. The advantage of those is that the online and unofficial PDF versions have colorized syntax; the no starch press edition does not last I checked. However, there's no reason not to buy it anyways if you're able. Personally nothing beats paper.

> these problems are commonly in the class NP

"Is the input empty" is in the class NP. You mean these problems are NP-complete. (This means "In NP, and all other problems in NP can be reduced to them in polynomial time.")

> If practical problems in combinatorial optimization are of interest, then bring them forward -- they've been coming forward mostly only rarely.

This is total nonsense. Training a neural network is combinatorial optimisation, proving mathematical theorems is NP-complete (when max proof-length is specified in unary), and there are loads of integer programs running all over the place that we'd love to solve significantly faster.

Sure, maybe you don't always need to get to optimality, but every bit helps, and often approximate methods just aren't good enough.

(As the sibling comment points out, though, none of this is really germane to a discussion of quantum computers.)

Port 465 is for mail submission. It's there for authenticated communication between clients and servers. It has never been used for communication from server to server and was never intended to be. Port 587 has the same purpose (mail submission), but has a plain text protocol specific negotiation at the beginning which matches that for server to server mail transfer on port 25.
A bit off topic but does anyone know of an email service that doesn't require a pre-existing email account, doesn't require ID, is TOR friendly and accepts cryptocurrency as payment? It seems like this should be an obvious service but I have a hard time finding one.
One problem is that we don't know the full cost, including the environmental impact, of each option.

Glass can be cleaned and reused, but it's heavier, so transporting it both ways results in increased emissions. They could also choose to use reusable plastic containers (soda companies did this in Norway up until around 5-6 years ago), but collecting the used containers takes up much more space if they can't be compacted, which I think some grocery stores do now.

There's quite a bit of energy that goes into washing containers as well. Supposedly sometimes more than what is required to manufacture new ones.

I'm not sure we as society are really able to quantify the environmental costs of each just yet.
I think its selfish and unfair to judge other people selfish and unfair just because you want to save yourself the pain of loss.

That said, I do think people have the right to voluntarily end their own existence, but clearly many suicides are a result of temporary mental problems like severe depression, or temporary life problems like crippling debt, job loss or loss of a relationship. These things could have potentially been resolved.

I also think it's totally possible to have just had enough of life as well. It's an unpopular opinion because survival instinct is such a strong force, but I really don't think life is for everybody, and if that person wants to check out they are going to do it whether you like it or not.

A comedian once said;

“Life is like a movie, if you've sat through more than half of it and it’s sucked every second so far, it probably isn't going to get great right at the end and make it all worthwhile. None should blame you for walking out early.”

I tend to agree with that. Not all suicides are the result of mental illness. Some people just want to check out early because they never enjoyed being here, despite not having what outside observers may identify as mental or personal problems.

Some societies glorified suicide, or held it as a way out of dishonour (think the ship's captain locking himself in a room with a bottle of whiskey and a revolver, or the Samurai that accepted their own deaths long before they walked on the battlefield).

I think our attitudes towards suicide are partly social (it alarms us to see members of our own species ending their lives, as it doesn't jive well with our world view) and partly cultural/religious (Abrahamic religions treated suicide as a mortal sin) and other cultures may see the act of self-termination differently.

I also don't think its helpful to throw accusations of 'mental illness' around as easily as we seem to. Whether it is a suicide or a mass murder, instantly jumping to mental illness absolves us of the need to understand this uncomfortable aspect of humanity.

It is easier than accepting the cultural and philisophical factors at play, and the realisation that we are all capable of these acts given the right set of circumstances.

Philosophers have long pondered this question. You can find arguments for and against here;

Totally agree! The few times I compare ads on television from Netherlands vs England the difference is huge. There's a huge amount of gambling advertisement in England. Advertising regarding something that's addicting is often quickly restricted in The Netherlands. Secondly the loan advertisements. In Netherlands the advertisements have to mention that it costs money (seems super obvious) plus there are restrictions on the interest rate. Seems in England companies can do whatever they want.

If a lot of people get into money problems it'll affect everyone (stealing might go up, or they'll not pay back loans, etc). It is so strange that this is allowed.

Glass bottles survived typically 25-50 round trips during reuse, sometimes much longer if there was a deposit paid. Plastic as used in milk cartons is extremely easy to spoil causing the recycled batch to be worthless. To avoid this the washing of the material (even after the householder has been required to do so) is done at higher temperature and pressure, with multiple hot, cold and abrasive steps.

They have to ensure any food residue, glue, labels and any remnants of the under-cap seal are removed or it's junk[0]. It's significantly more expensive than washing and rinsing glass bottles used to be.

In the free version, you have to rewrite the config and restart the service. That's not fun if you expect services to come and go as part of your natural life-cycle

If that's happening super-frequently I could see the problem, but in practice I'd expect you to use `consul-template` and issue a `reload` to nginx to make it reload configurations with no downtime. This is the solution I've used and it works pretty well.

Ask HN: Right to live and work in this location
"You must have the right to live and work in this location to apply for this job."

"Whereas we welcome international enquiries, only applicants that are legally entitled to work in New Zealand and can make themselves available for interviews in New Zealand will be considered for advertised positions.
Others may not necessarily be responded to."

I'm trying to find a job in New Zealand, Canada, or Australia. I've applied for several without even an interview. I've updated my LinkedIn, posted side projects on HN, and asked a recruiter for help, all without success.

I can't get a work visa without a job offer.

I have all the qualifications and work experience for the Skilled Migrant Category (NZ), Express Entry (Canada), and Subclass 186 (Australia). Having moved a lot on Working Holidays before, it's now my intention to immigrate and settle down.

Should I lie, and pretend I have the right to work already just so I can get an interview?

It seems dishonest, but I feel like an automated filter is just deleting my applications.

> The government believes that 40% of jobs will go [to AI] within the next ten years. I think its going to be a lot faster than that.

It's going to be a lot slower than that. Ten years from now AI will barely have made a dent in the existing job market in the developed world. Maybe in 30 years 10-15% of existing jobs will have been replaced by AI. That's an optimistic outcome. The AI jobs predictions are hilariously wrong. Ten years is a short amount of time, they have the impact time scale wrong as is typical in tech predictions (making the mistake of shuttling the impact far too close to the present).

Downgrade attacks are no easier for STARTTLS than for TLS-on-connect. If you were deploying TLS-on-connect you'd have to do it in one of two ways:

1. Senders should first try TLS-on-connect, and if it's not available, fall back to STARTTLS.

2. Senders should only do TLS-on-connect with no fallback

If you do #1, then a downgrade attack still exists because an attacker can just block port 465 and then interfere with the traffic on port 25 (or put a fake SMTP server on that port if one doesn't exist).

If you do #2, that's no easier than just mandating that STARTTLS on port 25 is required.

The alternative to all of this is to find some out of band method for a receiver to state that TLS should be available (TLSA / MTA-STS), and if it's not then something is being tampered with. That way, a sender can look up that information and then choose to do #2 for that particular receiver. Again, in that scenario it makes no difference if we're talking TLS-on-connect or STARTTLS. Given we can't make the whole World switch to "must always be encrypted" at the same time, this is the only practical way forward.

I remember a few years back walking on the beach with my dad and some similar time share scam people asked us if we wanted to enter a competition. We were handed two scratch cards with various prizes; cash, a holiday or the grand prize of a car.

Obviously all the scratch cards were winners for the holiday.

My dad scratched his card and said "Oh great, I won the car!"

The scam guys eyes opened wide and he had a confused look on his face and asked my dad to show him the scratch card. Obviously it was actually for a holiday, but it was great seeing the confusion in the guys face since he knew there was no car.
"...But like analyzing a terrible movie that somehow gets made, it's more fun to reason through the “behind the scenes” parts..."

I do too. Many times I find it much more interesting understanding how the sausage is made than what the actual sausage tastes like.

This is a great meta review. As somebody who's just published a book for tech teams, I need to be acutely aware of my own work to make sure I'm not falling down the same hole: taking a little bit of knowledge and and trying to fluff it out to appear to be a comprehensive body of work.

It's not just the 80s and old coding books. There has been quite a trend over the last decade or so of people over-publishing (I guess that's the term). Promising all sorts of things while delivering on little.

In some ways I think this is okay. The received wisdom is that you don't have to know everything, you just have to know more than the reader and be able to explain how to move them a bit forward. Perhaps the key is attitude. Woz says "..'Ive always found the authors come from a position of earnestness, attempting to draw the best conclusions based on decent principles and what they knew at the time they wrote it..."

A little humility, careful scoping, and honesty in a tech book can go a long ways. (Insert long discussion here about whether people would buy such a book, and how people are much more naturally attracted to books with a strong emotional impact "Make money with C Now!" than they are books that simply try to helpfully explain something without all the glitz) There is a natural tension at work here.
