Dreams were why I started taking melatonin. Taking it before bed, combined with a dream journal, helped me remember significantly more of my dreams—many of which have been absurdly comedic or indescribably beautiful—although how much of this is placebo vs chemical vs ritual is unclear. Now I still take 3mg most nights, but have gone weeks without it and thankfully the dreams didn’t stop (although alcohol certainly does make them go away for the night). Ymmv

Yep. One only needs to look at the recent story The Machine Fired Me[1] to see the potential impact of such system errors once things become connected and automated.

That poor guy was effectively fired despite the fact that every human agreed that he actually wasn't and should still be employed.

WWII was total ruin, quite literally. Calling it step back would be sever understatement. Calling WWI "step back" is understatement too. Stalin purge - same thing. 300 years time span still catches French Revolution and American Civil War. For affected population they were large large catastrophes that happened to affected people.

Historically, catastrophes can happen, do happen, cause a lot of suffering and death. It is actually good idea to take that possibility seriously, warn where you seen them becoming more likely and take steps to prevent them.
Not only that, but in fact, on IBM Mainframe (main COBOL platform), the new hardware decimal floating-point is actually better in all respects than original packed decimal fixed-point representation that COBOL programs often use.

(So it's not true that floating-point has been standardized many years ago, recent latest IEEE 754 includes decimal floating-point as it was implemented on IBM mainframe.)
It’s so ignorant of the author to imply someone decided to put lead in their own water supply. And then to wonder why?

We know why, and it was no surprise. It will happen again and again until we learn our lesson.

Capitalism is unstable. It incentivizes manipulation and cruelty. As long as those incentives exist, only fools like this will convince themselves they are investigating a mystery.
People in this thread didn't RTFA (top posts are addressing the title/subject of 'melatonin'), and generally the responses are anecdotal. Don't assume folks here know what they are talking about.
Which part is mistaken?

You're of course correct that the general problem is unsolvable - but the goal is to opportunistically infect people who directly paste the "curl example.com/setup | bash" that's helpfully provided in your getting started guide, without serving an obviously malicious payload to someone who could be inspecting it.

My company outsources to Ukraine. Something that bothered me there was in the city of Lviv. Directly next to the demolished synagogue that is now a memorial, there is a restaurant named after that same demolished synagogue that parodizes Jews. The bill shows up and costs significantly more than it should. The waiters wear wigs to look like Hasidic Jews. On national TV, they make jokes out of exaggerating Jewish mannerisms. Without efforts like these to digitize the past, Ukraine will white wash their history and cover it up by scapegoating Jews.
We're talking about the process table and so forth. It's never persisted at all.
How come it says that it's mirrored from GitHub and "The repository failed to update 8 months ago. Repository mirroring has been paused due to too many failed attempts, and can be resumed by a project master."

Seems like they are still using GitHub but use GitLab for the wiki?
They could be. dpkg and rpm will still install unsigned packages by default. That's one problem.

Another problem is that people are being trained to get software [directly] from software developers.
My understanding is because it is sold as a food supplement in the U.S while the UK, for example regulates it as a medicine.

So its available for prescription for short-term treatment of sleep disordersm, with provisos such as:

"Melatonin’s metabolism is mainly mediated via CYP1A enzymes. Therefore interactions may occur between melatonin and other drugs affecting or metabolised by CYP1A enzymes e.g. fluvoxamine, cimetidine, ciprofloxacin and other quinolones, carbamazepine, omeprazole, oestrogens (oral contraceptives and HRT), rifampicin, theophylline and increase in blood pressure with nifedipine and reduced prothrombin with warfarin have been reported." etc.

Where do you get the keyserver ID? From the website? You're back to square one, because anyone can upload anything to a keyserver. If they can modify the website (change files, etc) they can also change the keyserver ID they're telling people to use.

The "antipattern" is letting/expecting software developers also be software publishers.
I wish they had actually explained how they did the noise modeling and the actual result.
The take-away from that sounds as if you found a sleeping-mask helpful, but there's not much evidence that melatonin had any effect.
> Not saying conventional news is always right, but I'd still trust it more than pseudonymous accounts on a social network.

Imho that's a bit simplified. While the article doesn't actually mention this, I'm very convinced that this is also the result of news media increasingly relying on social media for their reporting themselves.

At this point, even traditional old-school media like TV and print are constantly quoting social media posts when reporting on something. Used to be that big media outlets would at least interview renowned experts, but that seems to be largely replaced by "Jonny on Twitter said".

For people as young as those in the article, this must be literally the only "news media" they've ever known, but they grew up with social media, so traditional news media just quoting social media is kinda redundant to them, as they are usually so familiar with social media that they don't need the traditional media as a "middleman" but could just as well look up these responses themselves without having them get "filtered" by a media outlet.

> Are they sure? I bet it's just one big echo chamber of people copy/pasting each other, just like every trend on social media (memes, etc).

I also wouldn't be too surprised if a couple of these, supposedly 13 years old, admins turn out to be actual adults who are getting paid for pushing certain agendas.
Your experience might be different to mine, potentially from a different communist country perhaps? But in communist Poland you could very much not be a member of the party, and still function fine. It's just that any sort of "better" job was inaccessible to you(to be a teacher you had to have party connections for example) - but not having party affiliations was far far away from being an outcast.
People tend towards authoritarianism. Our tendencies toward finding heirarchies and joining them is essentially an evolved organizational strategy. Communism was an early attempt at flattening it.
> For laptop-style devices it's in the firmware configuration.

The discussion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15855195 indicates that, as of 7 months ago, this was not the case if those laptop-style ARM devices (the linked policy on microsoft's website is now 404).

> The "Windows ARM devices must enforce secure boot" thing dates to the only Windows ARM devices being phones and tablets, and it's been updated now that that's changing.

It included Surface RT with keyboards, which were esentially laptop-style, at the point in time where Microsoft was still expecting other manufacturers to adopt RT (IIRC there were even a couple of samsung laptop models, quickly dropped).

To be fair, the parent did specify scaling "out" and went on to claim other benefits of a distributed architecture, which are not even unique to that architecture [1].

Of course, that comment's definition of "single machine" ignores the intrinsically distributed nature of mainframe architectures, on which on might reasonably suppose COBOL would run.

[1] e.g. a "single machine" only needs a single replica for those benefits. Sure, even that's a form of distributed architecture, potentially subject to at least some of the Fallacies Of Distributed Computing, but I'm confident that's not what was meant.
I guess it depends on the country, but in former Czechoslovakia, it wasn't true. There was about 1 million party members to about 10 million adults. Whether you needed to be a member depended on the nature of the job.

But you're correct that family relations played a big role, the nepotism was rampant.
I think you are giving too much credit to the uniqueness of this.

It seems not any different than subreddits or similar: they just making inflammatory meme posts based on hot topics and then people are discussing them in in the moderated comments.
If you have so many papers to go through that you've started using such 'virtue signaling' as a means of filtering through them all, fine. But to apply such a method and then _take the time to comment about it_ completely defeats the purpose.
1 in out of every 5 items I buy from Amazon India has this small letter inside which goes something like "leave us a 5 star review and email me the screenshot to get 50 rs by paytm." And more often than not these products are filled with 5 star verified reviews.

The worst offender recently has been a fitness tracker called Goqii which is a completely useless gadget imo but has more than 22k positive reviews on amazon.

Reminds me of Chris, who has the B is for Build channel on YT. He started rebuilding a few salvage cars (BRZ, Lotus Evora) on the side while being a software engineer. Ended up losing that job and now does YT full time basically rebuilding salvage or almost salvage cars.
There's a quote from Tesla spokesperson at the end of the video:

> Tesla continued that its customers are free to do what they want with their cars, including doing their own work to repair salvaged vehicles. They added that there are significant safety concerns when salvaged Teslas are repaired by unqualified mechanics, as these vehicles could pose a danger to both the mechanic and other drivers on the road.

Basically, already every single time a Tesla gets a car accident, the news loves to jump all over it. Now if you had people doing a half-ass job and making a defective repair, then the bad press would fall on Tesla.

How much do you take? I was regularly taking 3mg and 1.5mg regularly for most of the past 4 years. I recently tried 0.3mg (as recommended in another recent HN discussion about melatonin, I think it was a week or 2 ago), and I had terrible results.

On 1.5mg and 3mg, I would have very unsettling and memorable dreams, as well as wake up very tired, but I would get at least 7 hours of sleep on most nights. With 0.3mg, I woke after only 3 hours of sleep, feeling very energized but then getting very, very tired by early afternoon. I would fall asleep between 10 PM and midnight, wake up three hours later, then be unable to fall back asleep before it's time to go to work.

This meant I had to use stimulants to be functional, and I entered a cycle of not being able to sleep through the night, having to use stims in the morning, having to use melatonin at night to fall asleep, waking up after 3-4 hours, repeat. I finally broke it this past week by taking a sick day and sleeping through most of it, but I still couldn't hit 7 consecutive hours.

I can't even remember the last time I got the recommended minimum of 8 hours, regardless of what I do. I am trying ashwagandha and ZMA together for the first time tonight, having just taken both about an hour ago. I also took D3 this morning which will hopefully help too.

I think I'm done with melatonin for now, since I saw recommendations to abstain for a week or 2 to reset, and then trying again at the smaller dosage. But if this works, I probably won't use it again.

That's the best approach, certify him to recycle Tesla's. Make him document what he's done and that his repaired cars pass the same sorts of tests that new Tesla's do. Then require him to have insurance so if something goes wrong because of his efforts then he pays the first two million of any settlement. But let him buy new parts though.
> Kids today grew up with the internet - knowing that big corporations we're slanting views/news from day 1 because they could go compare the same headline at fox, cnn, and nbc.

When is the last time you've bought a physical newspaper?
They are often lined up in such a way that you can compare headlines of several publications without even touching any of them.

And if that's actually the reason, then why should only kids be privy to this? None of this is actually that new, imho it's a very similar dynamic to that whole "MSM is fake-news, that's why I get all my news from Facebook groups" trend.

But instead of Facebook (which is where by now only "old people" hang out), these kids use Instagram, which happens to be the social media platform of choice for their range of age because it's literally a Facebook product rebranded to do exactly that: Appeal to a younger audience.

I thought Shanghai had a pretty interesting system — they’d put about 10 people at a time in a “pen” made of Tensabarrier, swab all 10 with the same sample thingy and then test it. Once it came back clean they’d release them and take another group in. They were testing everyone but it went pretty fast.

I tend to agree about "feature good, feature bad".

But corporations ("are people" and) it definitely makes sense to say they are "good" or "bad", just as you can say that about people.

Microsoft, for decades, bullied everyone around and kept pissing into the collective village well, e.g. with their stacking of ISO committees towards standardizing OOXML, which later slowed down ISO processes to a stop because of the many never-present-never-voting-except-that-one-vote members (and those processes are not quick to begin with). I have over 20 years of bullying stories between 1990-2010 or so, some of which I was personally involved and affected by.

They have been beat into submission in the last few years, and are now behaving in line with a "good corporate citizen" behaviour. If they continue that for twenty years, I might consider them reformed.

Holywood/MPAA are a "bad corporation" for their work on the public domain. Oracle are a "bad corporation" for anyone who likes open systems. Google is a "bad corporation" for anyone who likes privacy. Facebook is a "bad corporation" for almost any group. I'm sure Apple is too, but I haven't met anyone who has been affected by Apple's policies except of being a direct competitor, so I'm not sure how that group looks.

All of these companies do deliver useful services, of course. But they do that for profit (which is what a corporate does). And while doing that, to grow, they inflict great harm on the ecosystem at large, much larger than the benefit and profit they derive from causing that harm. I guess that's one definition of a "bad actor" in my book.
That's a good point. Remember when Tesla reduced braking distance with an over the air software upgrade?

Unlike locomotives and street cars, few electric cars have a resistor bank for dumping braking energy when the batteries are fully charged. So a fully charged battery does reduce braking performance.

This is a much-underestimated factor that didn't exist, on that scale, previously.

When I was hanging out in chat groups in the late 90's I didn't have to worry about my conversational partner having, financially motivated and sinister, motives to change my opinions about certain topics.

Except for straight up scams, but nobody had a vested financial interest in "convincing" me about something.

These days there's a whole industry built around exactly that (social media marketing), the web is full of dishonest information players, even on a governmental level, on literally all sides. This isn't even that new, it's a development that the US military caught on years ago [0].

Hold up.

Earlier, I asked you a question to try to lead you to understand why your proposal was wrong, and you told me to answer my own questions and called me patronizing.

You continued to defend a point (OpenSSL and PKI have problems) that nobody argued against.

Even now, you keep acting like I'm telling you wrong simply because you admitted you're not into crypto.

And you're calling ME dishonest?

I give up. At this point, I'm quite certain I'm being trolled. Or you think being told you're wrong is a personal attack. In either case, you're not worth my time.
Sorry, 2AM. You're right of course.

I think the real message is that this is a new class of timing attack, and that it should be treated as such. E.g. curl itself needs to be updated to buffer its own output.
>Nowhere did he mention fda or anything.

"Dietary supplements" are essentially unregulated. The manufacturer is responsible for doing any quality control/inspections/etc. The FDA might come after you after you sell something, but they do absolutely no verification before. I can't find any evidence that the regulation requires anyone but the manufacturer to do anything and it doesn't seem there is any verification. (in other words, don't trust supplements no matter where you buy them)

> So as a matter of fact they do sell MacOS as a core part of the package and they don't intend for it to be replaceable.

Ahhm. BootCamp[0] is an integral part of MacOS for a while. (and before that, for a couple of years, it was a free add-on). It is the apple mandated, supported, sanctioned way to run Windows on a Mac, including needed drivers. Battery life is not quite as good, true.

Your claim that "Apple is definitely not in the hardware business. What they sell is licenses." is contradicted, both by the existence of BootCamp, and by your inability to buy a license without the hardware (and/or at a price that does not include a profit premium on that hardware).

Nonsense. Americans thing America is the center of the world because that’s what they were taught. The Great Generation was proud of what they accomplished, the baby-boomers interpreted it in a superficial and media-induced context, and we’re now trying to make sense of it all. But these numb interpretations are not helping. Capitalism is the ultimate driver at this point because it incentivizes an avoidance of critique.
Best decision here too. Although i think i got much bigger savings from using shaving brush + shaving soap instead. In my counry almost everybody uses gillete shaving foams in cans. They dont last very long and thus are super expensive. Gillette is huge marketing trick. I mean shaving soaps smell better, have enormous variety and are like 10x cheaper.

With blades you should change them every other shave. Only ones that last me longer are japanese Feathers i dont get it but these are most amazing. Also pretty expensive (still much cheaper than gillette) but totaly worth it.
