In our office bags were already not checked while coming in, but only while going out (including every two-wheeler owner's little trunk). And yes, I don't know why you find it so surprising, but any kind of flash/pen drive or storage device was one of the main things they were looking at - and if one was accidentally found in the employee's bag, they had orders to take it away. So yes, there main concern was data theft by employees (and may be small and big electronic devices as well).

Your links have no connection to the daily employees' bags getting checked (even the ones who've been working in the company for literally 20 years). They are all about terror 'threats' from outside. Of course outsiders need to be checked, not employees. In fact I can find no record of an IT employee in India bringing any terror causing instrument to his/her own office, ever.

Yes, the cars of our employees are still checked for safety while entering in the office premises (for bomb threat), and I don't have any problem with that.

Well, clang is a C compiler that by itself only generates highly unoptimized LLVM IR, an intermediate language used in the compilation process. It illustrates a few slightly unusual features, such as the fact that clang generates stack allocations liberally, relying on mem2reg to optimize them away.

If you really want to learn more, you have to check out the well written LLVM docs. If you prefer a hands-on approach, follow the kaleidoscope tutorial.

It seems like nobody mentioned it, yet. Another great product is https://www.rsync.net/ and this just works. There are no bad surprises. You can overshoot your backup limits, and they will send you an email to fix this. But still you have your backup.

Your interface is rsync/scp/ssh.

They give you ZFS snapshots, you can use s3cmd from their machines, so you can delegate uploads to S3 via rsync.net.

Our prior backup setup was duplicity with GPG hitting S3, and this sometimes was flaky for listing the current keys.

Glad I read HN, I heard about rsync.net. They even have/had a HN discount. You should use the search functionality to find other threads.

OS/2 wasn't worse than DOS. OS/2 was (eventually) worse than Windows. The problem with OS/2 was that it was part of IBM's PS/2 strategy, which was designed to create a non-cloneable new PC platform, and thereby return to a high-margin business. Windows, in contrast, chose to keep running on commodity hardware. The market chose "hundreds cheaper" over "technically better". IBM eventually tried to run OS/2 on PC clones, but by then, Windows had too much of a lead to overcome.
A single user has at least a /64 (which in IPv6 must correspond to a subnet). This is the equivalent of a NATted IPv4 address for privacy purposes.

Often, in order to allow customers to use multiple subnets, ISPs will allocate a /56 (256 subnets) to customers.

For privacy purposes these have the same behavior as IPv4 addresses, in that they in theory can be rotated between users but in practice have lifetimes on the order of months.
>With such polymorphism all hope is lost to be able to know the things that can happen. Implementations of the virtual method are not closed - they could come from anywhere in the codebase.

Anywhere in the codebase that satisfies the interface (or inherits from some base class) -- which is trivial to find, and what you want.

It is IPv6 only with a fallback connection to the legacy IPv4 protocol with little to no chance of a reverse connection. Sadly, too much content is still stuck in this rapidly ageing world. Bandaid after bandaid won't help in the long term.

Do we really want a one way connection world? If not, adapt IPv6. By default IPv6 CPE gear blocks incoming connections, which is good. Firewall rules can be changed, if needed. You can't change forced CG-NAT.

> Is it reasonable to hate and avoid IPv6 for fears of further privacy erosion (easier tracking than with IPv4)?

no. If an ISP assigns you a dynamic prefix and the various machines in your network use any one of the various privacy features like temporary addresses then the only additional information you leak is some information about how many devices are in your LAN, but as the devices make up additional addresses, it's very fuzzy.

> With IPv4 my ISP has to shuffle IPs with every reconnect. With IPv6 you could get one IP for lifetime?

Your ISP can hand out a new prefix whenever you connect, or even while you are connected. Most of them do this by default.

>While ISP that hand out a static IPv4 can exist, it's much more unlikely, whereas with IPv6 it will become the norm.

it doesn't look like it - at least here in Switzerland, all providers that do provide v6 addresses hand out dynamic prefixes by default and most don't even offer the option of getting a static prefix.

I'm describing an experience. Which substances are you talking about because I'm talking about Cannabis. The idea that somebody could end up in an ER for smoking weed is laughably remote.
I don't agree with this, even though it's a common opinion. There is something about the combination of cannabis and certain people (their mental makeup? their neurophysiology?) which either inevitably, or randomly, leads to poor outcomes from consuming even very small amounts of cannabis even under ideal conditions.

If you know yourself well enough to understand a substance is not for you, then the solution is simple: don't consume it, and don't listen to people who say you're doing it wrong.
Also troubling was the fact that McKinsey had won the contract without competitive bidding.

One finds this nugget more than halfway through longish TFA. This really buries the lede. Without a competitive bid process, a public organization is at the mercy of its stupidest and most corrupt officials. When a tiny town in the middle of nowhere wants an abandoned building torn down, they don't call the mayor's cousin. They open an RFP, and the only way the mayor's cousin gets the job is if her bid is the least expensive for the town. Perhaps developing nations can't be expected to have any officials who know how such things should work (!), but every McKinsey employee damn well ought to have known that a giant secret contract is necessarily corrupt.

An interesting find. Motorcycles and similar sized vehicles show the limitation of batteries more than automobiles as they have less ability to absorb the weight and space requirements. While there are some +100 mile range bikes their range drops off very fast at highway speeds, bikes not being the most aerodynamic.

Personally, my turn off has been lack of locking storage and good wind protection. Both add weight and wind protection will range because of increased drag but for those of us who like to commute on two wheels having secure and dry storage for out gear and work items, think laptop, is always a concern. I am really hoping for a HD EV that can use the full range of accessories for either Softtail or Touring line with sufficient range to get to a Poker run, ride it, and return. So figure 200 mile range at near constant highway speeds. To displace big touring bikes it will have to be at highway speeds
I bought a vape pen that has a frankly preposterous amount of THC inside each cartridge. It takes like 4-5 good rips to get good and stoned, but one small toke every hour or two keeps me mildly stoned throughout the day like you describe. It's a matter of self control though, because it can get awfully tempting to take those four good rips instead of a small little one.

And it's a vape instead of smoking anything, but at these quantities it almost doesn't matter.

for the last 10 years or so, every single OS out there randomises the lower bits by default and even rotates it every few connections.

The thing that remains static is the prefix you got from your ISP but that works in exactly the same way as your v4 address you get when you connect.

This way of thinking, "but we could always bring them back" can be also a problem. I would call it the belief in Magic science.

We don't know the economics of recreating an extinct species, but would be most probably not only technically challenging, but also very expensive. Even if we technically could bring back the rainforests to small areas of the sahara, the probability of seeing it done is zero. Is possible, but the huge resources needed are limited and would not allow it.

Saving the vaquita or the totoba, or the frogs, can be challenging but is easier and much cheaper than trying to bring back the same animals from the extinction tomorrow.
That's exactly where I want to be with that.

This is a recolonization probably, Tasman devils do it all the time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metapopulation

When the last tasman devil in an area dies, the area is totally cleaned from Tasman devil canker also. A very remote area can be reached only by healthy animals. The only able to endure the travel of several weeks or months.

The area will remain clean for a while. Eventually the boom of animals born in the area with higher survival chances will extend and recolonize the wide empty space between the populations with and without canker.

With a lot of luck all the diseased populations could collapse in this time, and the species could be free of the cancer eventually. With bad luck, an ill animal could get trapped in a truck, travel and be released in the clean area. Being isolated, the remote population would quickly vanish.

The difference with tylacine is that tasman devils have several uncorrupted backups in zoos and also in the wild.
This increases the motivation, but there are methods of delaying the hard requirement to migrate. A smaller patch is to reclaim unused blocks; a bigger one is carrier-grade NAT. e.g. in some countries such as Russia your ISP will allocate you a 10.0.0.0/8 address rather than a publicly-routable one, and will have a NAT between its customers in your city and the publicly-addressable internet.

And yes, this is an ugly solution and comes with a lot of problems and costs.
The worst offender I've encountered is imgur.com, where "click here to manage your privacy settings" brings you to a page with literally hundreds of advertisers.

About half are on "allowed" by default. If you want to disallow, you have to select each entry individually.

The other half only specify "requires opt-out", apparently imgur expects you to contact some third party to do so.

How on earth they expect to weasel around the law with this ham-fisted approach is beyond me.

some people work for charities, some people work for facebook. the employees make the company, and are complicit if they don’t react harshly to decisions made by their board like google employees did... if nobody wants to support the scummy tactics that “the company” is pushing, it won’t get done. sometimes you need to have a spine to get anything changed otherwise we are just heading for a blade runner distopia, and we in the tech industry are pushing us there as fast as our pay cheques can.

people quit google over the military project because they didn’t agree with it. i don’t think it’s crazy to do the same over facebooks disgusting manipulation of their user base.
I disagree with the comments here. This is mostly not good advice.

Ifs exist because most real world problems require them. “If the box is checked, do this, otherwise do that”.

Masking if statements by syntactic sugar doesn’t serve any purpose in my opinion and if anything it makes the code more opaque, or worse, may force you to duplicate code...

"$38 is too expensive for that given the time a developer would have to spend vetting the software". If so, do you point out a web tracker that captures time on site metric (ignores inactive tab time, multi-tab precise time computing, both real-time and offline time-on-site data feed and so on) so effectively that provides all these great features along with free timeonsite analytics tool https://github.com/saleemkce/timeonsite_analytics. Given all these critical metrics, $38 is not a big cost/per year for a company that likes to take intelligent decisions out of product usage & user behaviour. That's why big companies like Facebook and Instagram invest time on building this time metrics feature.

Wow. We had totally different experience with it then. To me it has always been simple and straight forward. Also the go tour was great to get started with the language.
That's exactly my point - that's the reason the issue is contentious in the first place. Many people strongly believe it's a serious crime. Many people strong believe there's absolutely nothing wrong with it and the law is unjust. Most people believe something in between.

That's what makes the original comment so unsubstantive, and why I was so critical of it. It doesn't persuade. It's not interesting. It doesn't provide any new information - that same factoid is brought up in almost every discussion about immigration. It sidesteps the whole issue to make a pointless legal argument - very similar to when someone mentions that the First Amendment only protects you government censorship. Yes, everyone knows that, it's not what anyone is arguing about.

The reason I read HN is because many people with many different views write great comments about technical issues. Sometimes we drift off into somewhat less technical issues like this, but often the comment quality remains high. And when it does, it's because we're not writing comments like that.

And to be perfectly fair, my response was clearly not articulated well and also fell into that category - whether I feel that way or not, that's what I take downvotes (it's presently at -4, which I didn't even know was possible) to mean. (Upvotes don't mean the converse, though!) I should have also done better.

NSA Exploit “DoublePulsar” Patched to Work on Windows IoT Systems
I'm amazed that the author didn't include european cities in the comparison.

There are many zoning laws to ensure that cities provide good quality of life by approximating the "urban village".

This is done by keeping the density uniform and avoiding overly specialized areas like shopping malls, company campuses, sprawls and so on.

It allows people to walk or use public transport for a short time for most of your daily needs.

Of course there are economical ramifications: there are laws requiring a minimum building size, in order to provide housing at reasonable prices, instead of setting a maximum to make prices go up.
I'm also disappointed, it seems there will be no software soon with perpetual monthly fees. It especially doesn't feel right in this case, because it's basically UI for open source tool and it doesn't offer (and need) really any server/sync/multi device features. I will look for alternatives, SourceTree maybe.
