I use Firefox's Reader View to fix low contrast text. You need to edit userContent.css to get the full contrast:

@-moz-document url-prefix("about:reader") {
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF !important;
color: #000000 !important;
}
}

If Reader View doesn't work, it's usually easy to find the font color CSS in the Web Developer tools.
Yeah what I really meant is that you break their customers and then their relatives sue the shit out of you, but it didn't sound as nice.
> It remains disturbing to read that something needs to be privileged just so it can sandbox unprivileged code.

That's not what is happening.

All modern JavaScript implementations use JIT for performance reasons. It's one of the main reasons behind the massive performance increases JavaScript has made in recent years.

JIT requires that the process be able to generate data then execute it as code. This is, historically, something that has been used in many security attacks. So modern CPUs provide the ability to stop this from happening (the NX bit).

iOS sensibly switches this off by default. Which is fine in most cases, but in some situations – like JavaScript JIT – it's necessary, so Apple grant special privileges to the WebKit process (not Safari) in order for it to perform well. This is part of the reason why the WebKit rendering happens in an external process – partly because it reduces the amount of code that needs this special privilege, and partly so that other applications apart from Safari can also get the JIT performance improvements without having to trust them with the special privileges.

There's no indication that this crasher has anything to do with Safari having special privileges, and I think it's likely that other applications can do this too.
If you are looking for help to fix your credit, contact DERRICKREPAIR@TECHIE.COM he will surely come through for you and I must confess I owe DERRICK REPAIR everything because he gave me all I have ever hoped for. After having numerous faulty experiences with credit repair companies and being burnt by fake hackers, I figured out that the credit score they told me they boosted was actually false and the negatives items on my report wasn’t cleared, I was so hurt and back on all my payments then I was forced to tell my friend Carol what was going on. Thank you Carol for having me reach DERRICK REPAIR, you’re an Angel. I contacted DERRICK via his email above and told him exactly what I want him to do for me, to cut the long story short DERRICK raised my score to the high 700s, deleted negative items and replacing them with marvelous tradelines which credit repair companies could not do. After 9 working days DERRICK texted that the job is done which he showed me proof and I confirmed the results with my credit monitoring app before I making the rest payment. I strongly recommend him to you all in need of such service. You can also reach him via text +1 830 308 7397 I think that would also help you get his attention. He can fix a Chex system, DUI report and also clears credit card debts.
It’s $0.5 per person.
A million dollars at a conservative 1.5% after taxes and inflation would pay for all my current expenses. If I didn't have to work I'd likely move somewhere with lower cost of living.
> Here we have an infinitely thin, flat, horizontal accretion disk extending from the photon sphere (this is very unrealistic, orbits below 3rS are unstable. More below) to 4 radii, coloured checkered white and blue on the top and white and green on the bottom. It is evident, with this colouring, that we've encountered another case of seeing 100% of something at the same time.

> For this image, I moved the observer up a bit, so he can take a better look at the disk. You can see two main images of the disk, one of the upper face, and one, inside, of the lower.

Wait, am I missing something? I don't see any green in the pictures.
Meanwhile I've done the math and 2 million USD would let me live my current comfortable middle class lifestyle (single and childless) indefinitely here in Montreal with excessively conservative financial assumptions, without earning income, and without drawing down the principal. That budget includes more than mere necessities, like vacations and tech purchases.

That's not my current net worth, to be sure, nor would I necessarily stop earning income if it were.

It's just a nice example to highlight of a world-class city that isn't that expensive all things considered.
My master thesis (a german diploma, to be precise) 25 years ago comprised the application of the qualitative theory of stochastic differential equations to specific functional analytic problems. So, this is not a compelling argument.

$1m US gives a 5% roi over 10 years. That's $50k, not exactly a comfortable life for most people.

$10m, sure, you should be able to net $200k while still topping up your fund to cope with inflation, so you'd be well off.

>> Easy. More money compounds faster

Obviously, there is a limit as to how much money a single individual can have - It doesn't need to be written into law. Wealthy individuals are a flaw of capitalism and the system will always keep trying to get rid of them.

If someone has too much money, working people will stop trying to produce goods and services for each other; instead, they'll focus all their attention and energy on trying to extract money from the rich person.

That's kind of what happened with the tech industry in the past few years; nobody is really trying to provide value to regular people (that's just a pretext); instead, everyone is trying to extract value from rich investors; that's where the money is.

If you want to make money, why bother go after regular people who don't have much? Our whole economy today is built around fooling rich people out of their capital.

Which is easier; 1. To convince 100K working class people to give you $10 each in exchange for 100K units of goods/services or 2. To convince 1 wealthy person to give you $1 million in exchange for a 4-slide pitch deck and a speech that you put together the night before.
Sure, the world has learned hard to swallow truths that business media won't adopt because it's not aligned with their narrative.
The system never has rewarded hard work on its own.

100 people work hard. 10 of them are lucky and see the benefits. 90 of them aren't lucky and don't see the benefits

Everyone looks at the 10 who are lucky, and they say "The key to success is to work hard". Classic survivorship bias.
The median income where is live is lower than 50k.

If I had ten million I'd just keep it under my mattress. I expect to live for another seventy to eighty years. I don't need 100k a year to be happy.
That us a fantastic point. When real problems occur they will be measured in the billions not a couple million. Clearing houses are expected to handle counter party risk but this event makes it clear only bailouts could handle a true crisis.

How Offshore Banking Destroyed Everything
This makes me scared too. When a single guy's positions can wipe out two thirds of the obligatory default fund, it seems to me that there is a mismatch between the risk allowed taken by exchanges and the amount of money they have to put towards the fund.
Some of them allowed to use MID$ for the left-hand side of an assignment to replace a substring, which is also unexpected.
I was a bit worried too about exposing the docker socket, even to a well trusted image and even if it seems it'a a widely adopted practice for such automatic configurations.

Fortunately ducaale suggested https://hub.docker.com/r/steveltn/https-portal/.

I adapted the site and will publish a follow-up about using this image for nginx - let's encrypt configuration.
I assume it's not done because the tuning is affected by the pressure. Bagpipes typically play melodies over constantly sounding drones, and different sized pipes are affected differently by changes in air pressure, so bagpipes will sound out of tune if the air pressure varies too much (tuning errors are much more obvious in harmony than in monophonic melodies).
You can but there is a long procedure to prove you are not in COI and will contribute positively.

Correct! Both on opinion and it being for me. I'm not optimising for "HN participation", rather my own enjoyment of the site. The participation experts are exactly who I'm (sometimes) trying to avoid, since their motivation is to participate optimally, often for their own benefit.

There's no rule - some post daily and that's great for them. They also often drive the discussions and the "feel". Awesome, it's their watercooler. But there's another way to maximise enjoyment of HN, and my post is for those who might benefit from better signal/noise.

Kipchoge beats marathon world record by 77s in Berlin
As per [1], twitter does use EV certs, but not everywhere. It depends on the geographical location. The author of this article (Troy Hunt) never noticed this inconsistency, whilst he works in security.

Given that he never noticed it, and the fact that I've never heard of anyone else noticing it. I'd say that even when high-profile targets deploy EV, it still does nothing.

A possible exception might be banks. I've heard (I think in the HN comment thread of [1]) of people actually calling up banks asking why the name isn't in the green part of the browser. I know I check that address most often. I guess people are just most security aware when it comes to mixing the internet and money.

It is considerably harder to make 2 million in Montreal than say London/NY/SF etc, with the high cost of living in these locations it is easier to spend as you point out. If you already had money the perhaps settling in a Montreal is a good idea, but to make that kind of money you will need to choose to live in a place where money is easier to make.

A functioning free market, or at least the best approximation that we can have in practice, requires state intervention.

I think this is a crucial point that is too often overlooked.

Many people think that "free market" means no intervention. While this might be the theoretical definitions, in practice that does not work and the system degenerates.

If a good approximation of a functioning free market can be achieved then it is indeed the best option we have.
> I do wonder how having a postal address is related to being a legal or illegal immigrant. After all - if your friend has a fixed address, they can share it with you, so you can receive mail, can they not?

It's generally not so much about receiving mail as having an address which you are deemed resident at for official purposes. That's a little bit different to having somewhere to pick letters up. There's always Poste Restante for picking letters up, so if it was merely post that was the problem that would be the solution.

If you are going to provide an address for residency, you will be treated as providing accommodation. If you're on any kind of benefit, this will be used against you when your friend gets their first pay packet, because address is mandatory for payroll and is shared with the benefits agencies and immigration enforcement electronically. Good luck disputing the home office claim that the person you're providing accommodation to isn't a UK citizen.

In the UK there is a legal requirement on employers to check right to work of employees. This requires paperwork that the applicant is unlikely to have if homeless. Getting duplicates of the paperwork takes money and time.

You need either a passport or evidence of national insurance number from a previous job or benefits claim in addition to a birth certificate to prove eligibility to work if you are a UK citizen.

> Regardless if you are an illegal immigrant or not.

In creating a system hostile to illegal immigrants the past few UK governments have made a hostile environment for the bottom quartile of earners in the UK to gain work. These checks exist for no other reason. [0]

What we often see in newspaper articles is the first reason somebody can't get a job. It's very rare to see the full list of obstacles. It's like a compiler that fails at the first error when there are tens of other errors waiting after that first one is fixed.

> They play along and keep calling it "buy".

This wasn't remotely deleted from his devices. What happened here was that he (reasonably) expected to be able to download another copy from Apple, and found out he couldn't. "Buy" doesn't mean "host it for me online forever". It was reasonable for him to expect to be able to do this, but it's not unreasonable for Apple to use the word "buy".
FWIW that apartment in Oslo probably costs around $5M by itself. He also has several other properties around the country in the same price range. I would not be surprised if he owns real estate worth $20M+. Official numbers say close to $100M taxable income in 2017.
The largest benchmark of Serverless providers
I would argue that there's a huge overhead. At least if you make use of tools that these companies provide. And if you don't, then just go with dedicated boxes which you can get cheaper than cloud solutions.
Summarising: they have no guarantee against closure; Google promises to give one year's notice if/when they decide to close them.
The article says that the spread peaked at 17 times the usual.

He was probably accounting for some risk and a $20M silly bets times 17 times leverage wiped the whole fortune.
A thing about healthcare in China: while it is expensive on average, some serious interventions can be up to 20 times cheaper (cancer surgeries, complex fractures and soft tissue trauma, etc.) Emergency medicine is priced predatory though, in bigger cities, appendicitis can cost you $15k+.

I myself don't understand American obsession with healthcare, they are free to go anywhere in the world, and it will be cheaper for you than back home.
Yes. I think this a “people want a faster horse” situation. The people who don’t want phones to go thinner and wireless everything aren’t thinking it through fully. I miss the head phone jack on my phone right now, I’d like longer battery life... but there is a future where a smartphone is the size of a credit card, is waterPROOF, and never plugs into anything ever. If you think it’s not possible, consider that the chips in each AirPod are more powerful than the one in the first iPhone.

I am temporarily annoyed with the audio jack removal, but I get it. It’s a “burn the boats” type strategy of pushing for the wireless, portless future.
Bluetooth is not allowed in EU flights, at least I am yet to board on a plane where it was explicitly allowed.
A logout button doesn't give extra security if anyone with access to the PC can hit the 'login' button. So unless access to the cert is behind a password there is no useful way to logout using client certs.

Maybe these aren't mainstream problems, but they do reflect a change in Apple's brand. Apple used to position themselves as the brand for artists, musicians, and other creative types. They even used to hide an optical audio port in the MacBook Pro headphone jack -- talk about a niche feature!

But around the same time iPhones lost their headphone jack, the laptops lost their optical port: https://appleinsider.com/articles/16/11/02/new-macbook-pro-d.... I'm sure it's ultimately because Tim doesn't care as much as Steve about this stuff, but it does feel like something is being lost.
Purely Functional DevOps with Dhall
Ants Swarm Like Brains Think (2014)
That's the difference between with MS and Google(i.e. enterprise and consumer), it doesn't matter how small the user base is, once a feature/product is GA to paying customers, you maintain it for a reasonable amount of time (>>> 1 year ) If you are not sure whether it will have usage/ interest, do your research , but once you go GA stick to it. Even if you are maintaining it for one customer, it shows the commitment you are showing to your customer , builds a lot of confidence on the vendor - Google doesn't get mine today.

Unsanitized data given to eval() is an open door for exploits, whereas lack of strong typing makes it easier for logic programming errors, due to typos or implicit conversions.

I am convinced that in the roadmap of Gmail, the greatness of Inbox is planned to be integrated. This is my opinion only, and time will tell how wrong or right I am.

There are 2 Types of Gmail users, gmail.com and G Suite.

I think Google prefer maintaining two types of backends, rather than two types of front-ends.
Negative interest rates: Lessons learned
I suspect Inbox was never meant to survive. It had small details that prevented mass adoption. For instance, it took them months after launch to implement an automatic signature, and then they added the artificial restriction to only allow them in your gmail.com account, not other accounts like in gmail. This prevented a lot of people whose workplace policy requires a specific signature, me included, from completely ditching gmail.

If that's very likely, it'd already be up.

No one has designed the system.
One of the older iOS jailbreaks, written by comex, was launched via Safari. It generally takes a few vulnerabilities to get to arbitrary code execution in the kernel. You have to (1) break out of the browser sandbox and (2) defeat exploit mitigation technology, such as non-executable stack and finally (3) escalate privileges. There can be some potential shortcuts to this, but that is the basic sketch. Why multiple vulns? To defeat ASLR, for example, you need something that leaks information about how the memory is layed out. This also helps defeat NX (non-executable stack) as you use existing code to do the initial bootstrapping of your exploit.
JavaScript is very safe when it comes to things like buffer overflow and type errors. It will always try to convert to one type or another.
I've seen one site start doing that (or at least proxying the ads through their own servers) - all ads come [random 8 letter domain].ay.[domain].com (which I immediately reversed because they started using it to serve auto-playing video).
