And when the drunk driver of a 10-seat family van plows into you at high speed, do you want your "compact car" to become a "compacted car" with you inside?

Personally, I don't believe my life is quite worth the money I'd have saved by driving a small sedan instead of the larger vehicle I drive.

(If it were, then I daresay my budget would be severely lopsided. Seriously; what kind of idiot would I have to be to spend more than 70% of my net income to car-related expenses?)
> The exam will wash out the 50-70% of people who are needed as temp TA labor but whom the department has no intention of advising through to a Ph.D.

At which department?

Speaking as a math professor in an American research university -- this is unusual. Pass rates at most places are reasonably high, and professors hope that as many people as possible pass.

It is true that grad students are expected to TA (if they want funding); usually grant funding is not available to support them. But generally the teaching burdens are relatively modest, around ~15 hours a week including grading and office hours.
> - She dressed the part; coming to work in a proper business suit and briefcase each day, not carrying a backpack like a sixth-grader.

This seems like very strange editorializing to me. Do backpacks bother you so much? Who is complaining about making coffee if that's in the job description?
Immigration needs to be based on merit of the immigrant and need of the country, not as a form of charity. It's hard to believe that USA needs 2.25 million people extra every year. I wonder why the law in this regard cannot be simplified. You are allowed to immigrate to the US if:

- you will earn more than $100k.

- you have a STEM MS/PhD from an institute of repute.

- you clear a set of security checks.

That should take care of most of the problems related to immigration.

Along with the sibling replies, maybe this is just part of the natural cycle of things. People will make Boise the new Austin. Prices will rise, demand for better infrastructure increases, things improve. A generation is raised. Their children move on to the next few smallish cities and bring them up to spec. As a lifelong resident of a city in seemingly permanent decline (St. Louis), it sounds good to me.

I've read about children and adolescents who were added to that sex offender registry because of minor indiscretions and had their adult lives ruined as a result. I can't imagine what being branded a pedophile and child molester will do to their reputations.

Yes, the crises of capitalism are mounting.

Attn capitalist masters, slow your roll or my kind will multiply and depose you. We stand for the many, not the few. The fall of capitalism will eliminate poverty and restore civilization to a non-terminal trajectory by averting nuclear war and environmental catastrophe by removing our imperial masters from power in our fake democracy. :)

Fwiw, Occupy fizzled so no one in power cares if another springs up. The next movement won't be toothless.
These guides pop up left and right, lately. I can't comment on their quality (I assume it's somewhat decent) but it's kinda ridiculous to try compressing a college degree's worth of knowledge into a bunch of sleek online tutorials.
I edited the title to remove the "Show HN". I thought the guidelines allowed to post stuff made by others, but on review it's intended for authors.

Still, a nice piece of software I didn't know before, and wanted to show you folks, sorry about the slip!

The language I'm using doesn't let me express the public/private divide I wish to make correctly (e.g. "private" implementation functions for a public C macro.)

The API is 100% intended for internal use only, but someone insists on ignoring that and consuming the private API anyways. Instead of forcing them to write their own headers which silently break at runtime when function signatures change in certain calling conventions which don't check those signatures, I instead allow them to include headers with a few keywords like "private", "internal", "do_not_use", or "i_am_voiding_my_semver_warranty" in the path, perhaps only after they make some similarly scary #define s, so it's at least a build failure.
But then you will have to pay higher taxes to pay for all this housing and maintenance.
If prices are rising rapidly, speculation occurs distorting supply and demand needs. Then the bubble goes "pop" and the process starts again.

So when prices stop being volatile, will you win or will you lose?

> (An IT illustration: there are still places running RHEL6 in production and not seeing an effort to migrate from it worth the while. They have more important things to do.)

We're currently re-building all our systems to target RHEL6 because that's what the execs decided, if we're lucky the project will be done before it's end of lifed. They also decided that we'd be using modern c++, more modern than the GCC that ships with RHEL6. Thanks to these largely incompatible requirements the team responsible has practically built their own distro on top of RHEL6, with a newer gcc and a rebuild of all the libraries we use complete with it's own package management system. I think it's customized enough that a highly doubt redhat could off us any support anyway.
It's not a bubble if the economy is growing at the same or faster rate, though.

It's only due to immigration that the US population isn't contracting like the rest of the developed world.
> I don't see a politicly workable solution

The workable political solution, IMO, is to the solve the problem at the state or federal level.

Or in other words, just make a law that overrules all of the local restrictions that exist, and tell the NIMBY cities to go suck it.

A city might have enough votes within its own borders to put up these rules and regulations, but they have much less of a chance of outvoting either the state or the nation as a whole.
That's true, but I'm sure businesses (and many individuals) would pay a premium for native client-side encryption with keys they hold themselves.
Why?

Because they're trust-fund babies?

Hey, that sounds line a mainframe... I wonder what it'll take to get zOS running on commodity.
I do almost all of my development work in WSL since moving off of macOS earlier this year. Works fine for my workflow: ocaml compiler/toolchain, anaconda python, gcc, X11 server on the Windows side for GUI apps, (g)vim, etc. I don’t do any .NET work - just regular Unix development. I bounce to the Windows side to run things that require direct hardware access (eg, CUDA), or running things like Mathematica or OneNote with the stylus.

I miss some things from the Mac: it was the hardware that drove to try new things. I’m growing to like the new environment. I’ve run Linux on my laptops on and off forever (mid-90s onward), and generally get irritated with them for one reason or another and look back at the Mac or Windows alternatives.

I have experienced this. Many manufacturers work in solutions to prevent the auto-shutoff if the charge isn't within correct margins, but when it doesn't go according to plan it is quite frustrating.
equal political representation and in general equal rights no matter where you come from.

Democracy says nothing about everyone being poor or something. Its a political system, not an economical one.
Most people need to live in a handful of big cities to find a decent paying job. Companies also stay there because they want to have access to a large talent pool. Meanwhile there is a ton of space un rural areas where in majority, only older people are left.

What would be a good solution? Massive construction? Incentives to move companies in more rural areas? I for one would love to have a high paying tech job in rural areas in my country, I dislike crowds but there are no companies there, all young people growing up here just migrate in drove to cities.
On the contrary, as a security professional I’d be thrilled if servers had a lifespan of hours instead of weeks or months. Reimaging VMs/containers/machines from scratch frequently gives so many advantages.

When OS, system, or library updates happen, you can easily launch replacement servers on the updated stack, put them in the rotation, and decommission the old ones. This is so much simpler than trying to run OS upgrades in-place across an entire fleet. The longer a machine has been running between reboots, the lower my belief in its odds of upgrading and restarting cleanly.

Further, this regularly tests your load balancing setup and pretty much fundamentally gives you capacity to scale up and down as load permits. Problems will be discovered early on, instead of during crunch time when you have to scale or when a few of your machines go offline during peak hours.

Security-wise, you don’t just get the benefit of fast, regular updates. But you also get assurances that users haven’t left stale data like unencrypted database exports, PII dumps, etc. lying around. Go on a long-lived machine some day and check out users’ home directories. That shit is a gold mine if someone who wants to do harm gets on your systems.

Not to mention regular reimaging makes it harder for an attacker to establish a permanent foothold in your infra.

None of this has anything to do with fast persistent storage, but I sincerely hope the era of 500-day uptimes is waning.

Yes, but how much of the housing price is physical maintenance and how much is "location location location"? With the latter eliminated, I'm guessing the concordant increase in taxes will far from compensate for the fall in the price of a positional good. Also, even if the taxes were equal to the current price, but things got fixed faster than most landlords, that's still a win. Don't forget about how much harder it will be to evict someone and ruin their life when there isn't a profit motive involved. So many benefits.

Nationwide Test of the Emergency Alert System to Be Conducted on September 20
I left a comment about this on HN the other day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17562306) - 8 months ago, I launched a product to serve the older population, blending old and new, called NanaGram (https://nanagram.co). We let you send printed photos to a loved one in the mail with just a text message.

Older people like my late grandfather are some of the happiest I've ever met. I think one of their secrets is growing up in a more disconnected world. I've honed my ability to stay off the internet for long periods of time but this skill is just the default state for many older people and isn't a challenge they face. I didn't always struggle with internet addiction and remember life before and after the internet. Some of my most joyful moments in the past year have been visiting loved ones just after spending 2 or 3 days completely disconnected.

There's a great book called Happiness is a Choice You Make about the "oldest old", people over the age of 85. I touched on in the book in this blog entry and expanded on some of the lessons I learned hanging out with my 94-year-old grandfather as often as possible over the last couple years: https://nanagram.co/blog/on-happiness-from-tirrell-cook.

My grandfather never learned how to internet but we did have a hilarious unboxing moment with the Amazon Echo this past December. He made it to a viral TV show and tried to negotiate for bitcoin as compensation. While it was very promising, we never truly got his Echo habit to stick as he and my grandmother kept pressing the wrong buttons.

The part about JD.com's business and ground level operations are very informative and interesting to read, props to the author.

But on the other hand, details of personal stories of various characters in the article made me grumbling "Really?! Is this from the New Yorker?".

Just one example, in the story about her parents sending her to stay with relatives in an extremely poor village before they left China for the US, the author wrote, "I wouldn’t see meat for three months;" and "that hunger could feel like a demon clawing at your stomach. ".

Come on, that was in 1992 when China had already got into economic reform for fourteen years(starting in 1978). Not matter how remote the village is, three months without meat for the daughter of your powerful relative? To make things even less believable, don't forget her mother was a doctor at an Army hospital in a big city, that's absolutely in the upper echelon in China financially in the 1980s. It's probably comparable to a $300K/year doctor in the US today relative to the rest of population, not to mention how few Chinese had the means and connections to
immigrate (not merely visit) to US in that period of time, so how can you not be shocked to read that her parents would let their daughter go hungry and have no meat for three months?

These and some other passages made me enjoy a lot less of the article. I don't blame her because first the country and the people have gone through dramatic changes since she came to the states, and secondly even the New Yorker has to make things attractive to the mass in order to sell.

The question is whether there is any point in having an OTP secret if it's stored in the same location as the password.

We're not talking about stealing single codes, but the entire secret.

With HOTP the answer is yes, because of ratcheting. A clone of the secret doesn't let you impersonate the original device, because their counters will conflict as both are used.

With TOTP the answer is no. You can make codes freely, and the clone is indistinguishable from the original.

The rule you cite is basically irrelevant. It just means that original and clone can't log in at the exact same time.
> it's kinda ridiculous to try compressing a college degree's worth of knowledge into a bunch of sleek online tutorials.

Honest question, why?

We used to give degrees (albeit hundreds of years ago) for material that now is covered, at a high level, in a single course (e.g. physical sciences). The amount of material to cover, and to master, increases dramatically over time. It makes sense to compress the knowledge to be delivered to a compendium so as to simply keep up with progress.
Then more people would correctly point out the parallels with a variety of dystopias, including nonfictional examples.
This is a new concept under capitalism: the hard wall between economics and politics. It favors the liberal bourgeoisie professional-managerial class. Unfortunately, politics and economics are basically one and the same. Some people win, others lose.

The only defensible goal is to make as many people win as possible. Capitalism does not do that.

What is required to bake in modeling plasticity?
Most of the people I served with share my conviction. It likely has less to do with geography and more to do with experience and culture. I fought in Fallujah as a Marine infantry machinegunner, and did a bunch of S2 work as well. You know what good the NSA and CIA did us? None. I can't tell you the number of times we were sent of wild goose chases for Zarqawi by an intel echelon above battalion... So nothing Snowden leaked would have touched operations in the al-Anbar province. Manning on the other hand... he leaked fresh company level operation logs - which I certainly disagree with. It is a very strange experience to be able to go through wikileaks and find mission debriefs that I submitted over a decade ago.

> ...obtain maximum impact in embarrassing United States.

That only worked because the government repeatedly lied in an attempt to minimize the last leak, only to be proven a liar with the next leak. That wasn't the ultimate goal though, just a hilarious side effect. The ultimate goal was to dominate as many news cycles as possible, because the public has a limited attention span.

> Maybe I’m missing something.

You are. The NSA is so incredibly tilted toward offensive operations that it is ridiculous. They've so inundated themselves with surveillance data that they've got analysis paralysis and can't effectively use the data for its stated objective. It makes no sense for the US to dominate in offensive cyber operations, because we have no technological peer... unless the NSA is cool with industrial espionage. [0]

That effort should instead be redirected to defense, which is supposedly a mission of the NSA, because of the asymmetrical relationship between the difficulties in exploitation and hardening. Any banana republic can gather a team of hackers and electrical engineers, but it takes some serious resources to harden code and infrastructure. This is the reason why we stopped pursuing biological weapon development and shifted to an unmatched defensive posture.

The scenario of "attacker has a key logger but doesn't steal the entire password database" sounds like enough of an edge case to ignore. If someone's stealing data from my password manager I'm going to assume full compromise.

In fact, Xv6 was derived from the UNIX v6. You can think of it as an x86 port of UNIX v6.
Good work, it's heartening to see that these institutions eventually work together. Hopefully this success can be replicated with scammers who have targets less directly interesting to the state.
Maybe they make up some part of the 11% but I imagine age is a big factor. The old folks I know who don't use the Internet are some of the most well-read, whip-smart people I've met.
It also bugged me that he was upset when the behavior they were relying on was an internal detail not included in the API's contract.

(Incidentally, the API itself did not change because it was something like func Read(in Reader) error, where error was a parent of all exceptions)

That's not incidental. In my opinion the authors of the API were completely fine changing the internal detail of which specific exception type was thrown because their public API never made a guarantee beyond it being an instance of error.
Ok, you feel strongly about plea deals but I still don't understand what the theory of supposed injustice is supposed to be. Why aren't people like Ken White railing against plea deals? Or maybe some are? Etc.

Ambien is an incredibly dangerous drug.
Look up "Ambien Zombies." The stories are incredible: the criminal justice system can't handle sleep walking, sleep driving and sleep murder.
In its more benign form, the zombification can lead to binge eating. If you wake up and the family pet is missing and there's a bloody mess in the kitchen, you know what happened.
Look up the case of Tom Tuduj, though he is but one of many. Tom killed Gary Poter, who was a developer linked to Barack Obama through Tony Rezko, a Chicago-area fundraiser.
There are many other, horrible cases.
Stay away from Ambien.
