Great summary, thanks! So basically, exploits are possible on extremely high value targets like the president, but apart from that there are basically no malware worried for updated, non-jailbroken iphones.

I'd been curious about this since reading about NSO Pegasus and their SMS method. Is this likely in the "zero day, high value target category"?

I've never properly seen an explanation of how it's supposed to work.

I often feel annoyed too but CSS what we have been given to work with. Instead of wasting time being annoyed that reality does not match our expectations it is better for our health to swallow the bitter (red?) pill, accept reality and learn CSSs idiosynchracies. The page http://book.mixu.net/css/ shoud help.
Yes! But it’s $2,000 and won’t fit in the space I have.

Will have to have a closer look when I get home, see if there’s a 60cm model with timers.

But yeah thanks, I’ve tried looking a few times online. Admittedly haven’t been in to a store to ask.
However, Mail does have a dark stylesheet for the viewer when Dark Mode is enabled. I guess this can be done when there's a concept of a base stylesheet which people can the overwrite if needed.

Word processors don't have this concept, and what you see is (supposed to be) always exactly what you get. So Pages doesn't display dark documents because the output then should be a dark document.
I've installed the latest Firefox and it now blocks by default all the analytics tags I manage (Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics). I understand this can be used by these companies to cross-track users, even though I cannot.

Whilst that's great for the user's privacy, I believe these aggressive practices by Mozilla will only hurt their bottom end. A few sites (Saas) I use already don't perform as well in Firefox as in Chrome and I fear that large companies like Google and Adobe will have now even less incentive in making their platforms compatible with Firefox.
> Reusing delicate parts from a salvage wheel that had a blown airbag does not seem particularly safe to me.

Why not? The one part that matters for safety in a wheel is not delicate at all: it's the connection to the axle. Even if all power is suddenly dead, the vehicle can still be manually controlled.

As for the airbag, I guess (and hope) that the author did replace it.
Citus advertises itself as an excellent way to achieve real-time analytics across billions of rows and tonnes of data, which this product also does.

The Modigliani-Miller 'theorem' is dangerous nonsense. It proves a fact about a model rather than a fact about the real world.

From Wikipedia "The basic theorem states that in the absence of taxes, bankruptcy costs, agency costs, and asymmetric information, and in an efficient market, the value of a firm is unaffected by how that firm is financed". See anything wrong with this picture?

I think everyone understands that plenty of things in nature are poisonous or dangerous in other ways.

But it's also reasonable to trust our intuition that food is generally better - i.e., more easily digested and more nutritionally complete - the closer it is to its natural form.

In the linked article, the supplement in question was was far from natural; it was highly refined and concentrated.

So the cause of the damage in this case was not from consuming a natural product, but from taking a highly _unnatural_ product.

If he'd just had ordinary green tea (i.e., dried tea leaves steeped in water) once or twice a day, as millions of people have done for many generations, this would not have happened.

> I think it will be the second most spoken language in Europe

Arabic has 4-12 million speakers in Europe depending on how you count. If we take the most generous estimation (12 million) which compares 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants to native speakers it's at best the 13th most spoken language in Europe[2].

Why do you think it'll displace all the languages that are currently ahead of it?

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Europe#List_of_la...
Nonsense. Arabic is Arabic. It is not convoluted. It is sophisticated and powerful.
You are mixing dialicts with languages. Go to rural -middle of nowhere- villages in Scotland. Good luck understanding a single word.
Michelson did win the Nobel prize, though the citation reads "for his optical precision instruments and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations carried out with their aid", so not explicitly for the null result.

> Allen adds that their analysis is exploratory, and that there could be other explanations for the findings.

I like how they're clear how their findings are dogfood at this point. They should pre-register a proper meta-study now :-)

In a more serious vein: Do they actually intend to pre-register meta-studies too?
Probably. Otherwise changing firmware would be the main topic of article :)

This is clearly not the problem that Gutenberg aimed to solve.

The problem it solves is more what your second paragraph mentions: “how do I insert custom content that isn't just text in a way that looks consistent on the front and back end”?

Adding complex content in a visual way is a real problem in pre-Gutenberg WordPress, to the extent that a thriving cottage industry of page builders now exists, each with their own take on how to add and edit content.

Gutenberg hopes to remove the need for such page builders in many cases, (and eventually) unify the WordPress (and Drupal) community so they can offer custom content types as native blocks under a common API.

For relational content, there are still custom post types and taxonomies.

> IMO Wordpress could do a lot more for itself long term by improving the flexibility and power of its core, rather than its WYSIWYG.

It's doing that too, with the REST API, with WP-CLI becoming a “blessed” project, and with future plans for Gutenberg as a means to control widgets and other site areas, rather than just post content.
Also while it's very cool that they support this in Safari, I highly doubt someone will do CSS adjustments JUST for Safari users like this. Either your page already has a dark theme or you won't really bother about this.
Secure your bare metal servers in 1 minute with this script in Java
I'd assume this is intended for web pages/apps to allow their in-page controls/navigation to fade into the background, revealing the content.

E.g. in a crud app with top/side nav, and then a form in the main section, the nav bars can be rendered as pale/dark to suit the user selection, while the main content area retains the focus.
As someone else pointed out (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18298848) this is in a draft for CSS Media Queries level 5
I agree with you, I even think that Arabic speakers are the best at understanding foreigners speech.

As he pointed, you might tell your girlfriend this is a gift from your dog (كلب) instead of heart (قلب), but I'm sure that if she is a native speaker, she'll understand correctly.

I've seen the same mistakes happen in other languages, but the native speaker usually miss the meaning.

I think this relates to the fact that Arabic spoken language has a vast number is unique dialects, and they mostly understand each others dialects, unlike other languages that differs between dialects mostly in spelling sounds.

Writing as an English coder ie I code in the English language so that the human compiler can parse what I write aka more of a hack than a hacker.

Wordpress.org appeals to hackers, but Wordpress.com appeals to hacks. No tech support needed, no 3am beepers because a badly behaved plugin wet the bed.

So I am happy that Wordpress is slow to intro new software. Make it work and make it intuitive. Wordpress is the least annoying tech vendor - like Apple in their best days (not now sadly). Not perfect - who is? Would like better wysiwyg editing. But bigger beef is search. It sucks. I use Google to find info on my own site.

There's always a fresh perspective and amazing poetry, it has given me insight many times in my life.

It's not only bards that offer divination's from the divan, in Tehran the street kids sell a page from the divan for a dollar and in general I'd say the dominant religion in the country is the wisdom of its poets (the greatest ones being Rumi, Saadi, Omar Khayyam and debatably the most popular, Hafez).

I wish I had the time to go learn the language so that I too could appreciate the depth of their poetry.
Third-party ones (Mozilla, Google) may but I'll be surprised if Apple and Microsoft don't just tie it to their respective OS' 'dark mode' setting.
The Roomba is the single worst tech product I've ever purchased, and I've brought a lot of junk. So much more hassle than running the hoover round a few times a week.

It's crazy that the maintainer of that list thought this would be a good idea. This is a huge breach of trust.
Must be an awful lot... Why do people when they read ‘x is good for you’ or ‘x might cure y’ go completely overboard. We had these ‘fasting might help prevent Alzheimer’ and the articles contain something about 24 hours low calory etc; then I read HN and Reddit and see people, responding to the article, doing 2 weeks water fast saying it is da bomb. There was an article about coffee preventing (...) liver cancer; people responding eating packs of raw coffee beans, drinking liters of coffee etc. All vitamin news is the same; people taking handsful of then dangerous amounts of vitamins. Moderately seems key to all.

The spreading of English and Spanish across oceans is much younger than the spreading of Arabic. Arabic had many centuries more to diverge than English or Spanish. The regional separation of Arabic is only few centuries younger than that of Latin if we pretend for simplicity that the empire somehow had uniform language.
I tried another one of these ("Dark Mode for Safari") (https://itunes.apple.com/th/app/dark-mode-for-safari/id13971...) and was not overly impressed with the results. I guess maybe I need to be more selective about which sites it's used on.

Edit:

Ok, I've just noticed that

a) the app I have now (or maybe always?) has a couple of different levels "softer dark mode" is much nicer - it's not pure black for backgrounds.

b) using it more selectively (i.e. not just on/off for all sites) seems to work much better than just turning it on open-slather.
Can you teach me this skill? I usually don't mind steep learning curves and taking a while to familiarize myself with a piece of technology if I believe that I'll end up benefiting from it (I type in dvorak, use a tiling window manager, I'm a shell power user etc...) but try as I might I just can't wrap my head around umatrix.

I understand what it does, I just don't understand how to use it effectively. Like I just tried it: I enabled uMatrix and went on the website of the NY Times. I end up with a rather large matrix with a bunch of domains like "a.nytimes.com", "api.nytimes.com", "samizdat-graphql.nytimes.com", "optimizely.com", "js-sec.indexwww.com" and many others, includind a bunch of google and amazon domains.

How am I supposed to figure out what I should whitelist in there? Trial and error?

There are a few obvious candidates for blacklisting (amazon-adsystem.com for instance) but I'm sure that those would already be blocked by my uBlock filters. Actually so far uBlock with a few ad + privacy enhancing filters seem to do a decent job which makes uMatrix even more frustrating because I feel like I'm doing something by hand that uBlock does just fine automatically.

But at the same time I often see people praise uMatrix here on HN and that makes me feel inadequate and noobish so I really want to understand what I'm not understanding.

The great thing about language is that you can choose the level of precision you want to use.

Gender and Numerus (Singular Plural) ia usually not the kind of precision valuable in my opinion so I am fine with singular they.

Also, as a non-native speaker I don't get how people get outraged about singular they but not singular you. For credibility stallman should start using they.
You might like to try https://searchwp.com if you're hosting your own site (it wasn't quite clear from your comment).

It lets you tweak search results by giving different weights to titles, categories, excerpts, and more. I'm not affiliated, but if the default search is no good on your site it might help you get the results you expect instead.
After reading resignation you've linked... That's no way to lead an innovation. Especially for such a big FOSS project.

Automattic's position of quite verbally "throwing" Gutenberg at users and developers at any cost just shows a really bad example of business driven FOSS project as a base for commercial product (.org for .com).

A11y is just one of the victims. Other community members creating WordPress based websites, services and plugins (myself included) are mostly thrown overboard as a collateral damage. Either learn react fast and figure Gutenberg out by yourself or maybe we'll let you come back later if and when we get to work at least on some documentation and the well-known issues that affect you. With Gutenberg's extensibility being the biggest and most harming one for WP ecosystem.

That's great reference (thank you for the link) but one of the great - if not the single greatest - accomplishments of the web was that it allowed anyone with a text editor and access to the internet to publish content with ease. I get that commercialisation of any platform will lead to specialities in that field; however the tools shouldn't make it objectively harder for new comers to contribute. Let alone discriminate against hobbyists who might not want to spend several hours of their life learning CSS (never-mind HTML, perhaps Javascript, how cookies work and any regional legislations, OWASP should they dare to have any user submission forms, etc).

Talking personally, I published my first website in 1994 when there wasn't different layout modes. Now it is suggested that I read a multi-chapter book just to learn what's changed in CSS so I can publish the same content I had before but in a "web 3.0" (for want a better description) format.

I appreciate my comments are very ranty / preachy and do value your comment as I hadn't seen that link before; so my comments are not directed at you in any negative way at all!

Heck, I find it frustrating and I used to specialise in hardening web servers so have worked quite close to that community.

The loan was a terrible deal for taxpayers. It enriched early Tesla equity holders -- including foreign Mercedes-- at the public's expense. The govt was taking on huge risk, the loan was vastly bigger than the company's revenues, but taxpayers got no corresponding upside for that risk. A similar loan to Fisker was a $139 million loss for the government.
The Linux Mint experience of the author is strange. I was able to install with no problems on three very different machines (Dell Inspiron, HP Laptop (forgot the model, it's my daughter's) and an assembled game PC featuring 4 Monitors). The only qualm I have with it: For fear of data loss I decided against full disk encryption (the installation procedure asks for it) in expectation that one can switch after installation (I think Windows is able to do this). Unfortunately, that is not possible and imposing this later seems to include a lot of low-level work.
Probably slightly more than 6 cups per pill if we assume that each pill contains 500mg catechins. The daily limit for someone who weighs 70kg is around 700mg which means one pill per day is the maximum.
No offense, but this might just be an issue with your command of English. If you can't communicate nuance in a language with north of 600,000 words and an incredibly rich literary tradition, it might not be the language that's the problem. English has aggressively adopted loanwords, which gives it such breadth.
I remember when I installed Debian on my old Toshiba laptop in 2004 (all 16x CDs of it, which a friend had to download for me coz I had no broadband), I couldn't update it because the ethernet network adapter (no wifi) on my laptop was not supported... nice to see that this curse still occasionally persists!
If I remember correctly I fixed it by installing a different distro (Ubuntu or Kubuntu, which surprisingly despite being based on Debian had no issues recognizing my network adapter)
How to write better? Somewhat universal tips
Still in spite of all of these I do believe that there is a lot more this tool can give. My plans for it in the near future (early 2019) are:

- Present it in a slightly different way (remove landing page and instantly start playing a dumbed down version of it that introduces the current features as a 'initialization/introductory process')

- Improve the mobile experience (by default shape creation must be done by choosing which areas to paint instead of the current approach of connecting points, this is a small fix that makes using it in mobile a much better experience)

- Allow anonymous export and sharing of works. Remove the login until it is absolutely needed.

- Create thematic portfolios with it and share them with current graphical artists that work with grids

- Restart instagram marketing

If you have any other ideas that don't fit the traditional "startup book" approach I will gladly do them or try to incorporate them in the reboot.

Same with water, table salt (NaCl), coffee, pomegranate juice and many other things.

Dose makes the poison, some people are capable of handling more, and some less.

Tea, among other things, has caffeine in it, and enough caffeine will kill you, but other than in pill form, you’ll likely not manage to get to the threshold because you’ll start vomiting way earlier.

It’s possible that there are other compounds harmful at high concentration. And of course, it’s not unthinkable that some of his pills were contaminated with something more dangerous.

But the dosage alone in some cases may explain enough of the damage.
Sure you could make Enterprise IT a lot more leaner and probably add a lot of productivity doing so. This is, by the way, my private field of research: how can friction in Enterprise IT be avoided (my position is that you could do IT in big enterrise better with about a third of the people).
But yet we are talking about the reality that we have right now, and right now (and probably in years to come) a lot of those in-between-IT-people are wanted and they make good money (what my entire original comment was about).
